Gudjonsson suggestibility scale
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (November 2014)
The Gudjonsson suggestibility scale (GSS) is a test that tries to measure how susceptible a person is to coercive interrogation.
It was created by Gísli Hannes Guðjónsson. It relies on two different aspects of interrogative suggestibility: It measures how much an interrogated person yields to leading questions. It also measures how much an interrogated person shifts their responses when additional interrogative pressure is applied.
The test consists of a short narrative read to the person under interrogation. The person then recounts all they can from the story. Later, the person under interrogation is asked a standard array of questions about the story, some of which are false. The person under interrogation is told in a "forceful manner" that there are errors in their story and must answer the questions a second time.
Yielding refers to susceptibility to suggestive questioning. Shifting refers to changing answers as a result of interrogative pressure.

Wonderful place for a family vacation!
We Would Absolutely Rent Here Again
The grounds are beautiful with flowers everywhere. We really enjoyed the tropical pool and hot tub. The property is in a nice location. Kihei is very central for touring around the island and there are tons of top recommend snorkelling and swimming beaches within 5-15 minutes drive (or just walk across the street).
PROS: Great sunsets every night from the lanai. We appreciated the playpen available for our baby daughter to sleep in. Way more extras than we expected: big bottles of Kirkland (Costco) shampoo, conditioner and body wash, blow dryers, tons of extra towels and bedding (including those specifically for baby) laundry soap, and almost everything you could want for the beach. The kitchen had spices, coffee filters, sugar etc. along with a "Welcome" gift of chocolate macadamias and other snacks. It's a nice touch. The condo is very clean.
CONS: The upstairs bed and pillows are REALLY soft (and high off the ground), which we found a bit uncomfortable. But it might be exactly what someone else likes. The staircases to get to the condo and up to the loft are quite steep, which might be a problem for a senior citizen or person with a disability. We really didn't mind them too much. Spice rack was a bit empty. Main floor bedroom has no air conditioning, only a fan, so it stays pretty warm in there at night.
Property managers were friendly and helpful. Overall, we felt this condo was well worth it. We hope to return next year!
Recommendations: Gannon's in Wailea has a wicked view and great breakfast. Paia Fish Market is fun. We liked the Aii Nui (Maui Dive Shop) snorkel cruise to Molokini - best fish we saw the entire trip, and the food and service are really good too. Check out the sea turtles by snorkelling to the right of the sand at Makena Landing. Try a surf lesson with Maui Wave Riders in Kihei. The instructors are great. I got up on my second wave!

Good Points
This phone is the best ever phone. Why buy any other phone i don't no, this has games, wap screensavers, the lot a definite buy
Bad Points
None really, maybe a camera add- that wud make the phone complete!!!
General Comments
This is the best phone have had out of all of the phones i have had. I used to be a Nokia person but when i switched to Ericsson i found Nokia are not always the best option. The Sagem myG-5 is the next best things, it has everything a Nokia has but is just much, much better. If you want to compare it to a Nokia, size wise, its the Nokia 8310. But the features and everything about the phone is just so much better than all of these phones. A definite buy and i advise you to buy it!!!

LiU to lead billion-SEK investment in autonomous systems
The Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, various universities and companies will invest SEK 1.8 billion over an 11-year period on research and development of autonomous systems.
Linköping University is host university for the programme, which brings together world-leading expertise from four Swedish universities. Swedish industry welcomes the programme.
"Obviously I'm delighted and proud that Linköping University has been entrusted to manage an investment of this magnitude. Our university is 40 years young, and this shows that we have been doing things the right way. It's a superb present on our 40th birthday," says LiU Vice-Chancellor Helen Dannetun.
The Wallenberg Autonomous Systems Program, WASP, is a forceful research programme focussing on basic research, education, training and recruitment in the field of autonomous systems and software development. The programme is being run at Chalmers University of Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and the Universities of Linköping and Lund, with Linköping University acting as host for the programme. The programme will also involve research teams at other higher education institutions. The total investment is SEK 1.8 billion, of which the Foundation is providing SEK 1.3 billion, and universities and private enterprise the remaining SEK 500 million.
"It is essential that Sweden, both as a research centre and an industrial nation, can become an international leader in autonomous systems and software development. This field represents a shift in technology, described by many as the fourth industrial revolution," says Peter Wallenberg Jr., Chair of the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
Large investments are being made around the world in autonomous systems and software development. This is not just about self-driving automobiles and products capable of making themselves. It includes smart energy systems, intelligent and resource-efficient transport systems, advanced decision support or providing means for emergency relief operations to reach remote disaster areas.
WASP research will help to establish an extensive body of knowledge and development in a large number of fields in which intelligent vehicles, robots and complex software-intensive systems achieve autonomy in interaction with human beings.
"The idea is to combine existing pre-eminent competences in the fields of electronic engineering, computer technology and computer science, found particularly at Sweden's four major information and communication technology universities, although there will also be resources to bring in researchers at other universities," Mr. Wallenberg explains.
Industry is positive to the programme and the investment.
"The transformation of industry that's underway in the world is driven by digitalisation and mobility. Solutions in automation, largely based on modern and efficient software, will fundamentally influence the ability of Swedish industry to compete in the future. Leading this development requires close collaboration between industry, academia and world-leading research. WASP addresses all these aspects and will be one of the most important ventures in Sweden in the coming decades. Also, it complements Ericssons's current initiative, "5G for Sweden", explains Sara Mazur, Head of Ericsson Research.
Saab also welcomes the investment.
The programme will have a huge impact on the future competitiveness of the Swedish system-building industry. Mastering the complex interplay between humans and interacting systems with varying degrees of autonomy is increasingly important. The programme's focus on industrial relevance, long-termism, utilisation of international expertise and ambitious research school is an excellent arrangement," says Pontus De Laval, CTO at Saab.

Got mine today, She's my 1st Saber figure and I'm very pleased with her.

I got her at a decent price, and she is quite weighty and I think shes pretty good for the price!
The sculpting and the painting is great for the clothes and armour. the only thing I thought was a bit off was the hair and the face. The hair is pretty chunky and Saber's chin could poke someones eye out.
overall quite a nice figure :>
02 years agolucy4 Free! Lover
Sorry,I actually mixed her up with the A prize of a lottery they are currently running here.You can buy her for Y800 b/new at Mandarake. If you have other collector friends, you can open a batch for that particular branch to save on shipping fee, then you can get her at around Y1500 tops maybe? On the contrary, I think Taito is doing great so far, but my comparison is based on Taito's past works and not to other prize manufacturers because as you said they're still far behind. Great example is their Lucy and Erza prize figs which is now Y5000 at minimum. At least they're better than Furyu, that's for sure :P
Sorry,I actually mixed her up with the A prize of a lottery they are currently running here.

Adams Foods lose 12 manager positions
Posted: July 10, 2014|
TWELVE managerial posts have been lost at one of Leek's biggest employers – but workers have been reassured no major shop floor redundancies are being considered.
Adams Foods in Sunnyhills Road on the Barnfields Industrial Estate, has made seven managers redundant and redeployed one, with four being lost by natural wastage.
Marketing director Alastair Jackson told the Post & Times that the "market was tough" and that bosses at the cheese packing plant were examining all aspects of the business.
He said: "We employ around 700 people and there have been 12 manager positions lost, with seven of them redundancies, which is unfortunate
Related content
"We are constantly looking at all aspects of the business and also how to move forward with structural changes.
"We are a £450 million business and have recently added a lot of new business.
"Mangers are to speak to workers the reassure them there will be no mass redundancies at the company."
In March, Adams Foods and First Milk announced the completion of a long-term, strategic cheese supply partnership. The partnership was intended to reinforce Adams Foods' position as a leading supplier of both British and Irish cheese in the UK.
Union leaders based at the company say they are monitoring the situation, but have been assured that no production workers jobs are in jeopardy.
GMB union representative Arthur Rowlands said: "I attended a meeting along with a colleague with the marketing director on Monday. I was given an assurance at the meeting that there was no question of any production workers positions being made redundant.
"I have also been informed that a senior manager is going to give a talk about the business to every shift this week when everyone will be briefed
"As the union representative I am obviously watching and monitoring the situation, but I am very pleased that everyone is to be spoken to, as I am conscious of people's concerns when they hear of any job losses."
"Workers who have left the factory since February have not been replaced. There is a retail prices war going on in supermarkets and I have been told that the merger with First Milk in February has created additional work, but probably not the volume expected. Every department is looking at its costs."
The completion of the deal with First Milk followed approval from both the UK's Office of Fair Trading and Irish Competition Authority for the development of a secure, efficient and fully integrated supply chain for hard cheese in the UK retail, food service and wholesale sectors.
Adams utilises its best-in-class facility to cut, pack and market the high quality hard cheeses, including branded cheddars, produced at First Milk's award winning Lake District and Haverfordwest creameries.

Julio Teheran is the guy most scouts and fans think about it when they think of the Braves farm system, but there are a plethora of other strong pitching prospects there as well. Arodys Vizcaino is ranked as the second or third best pitchers that the Braves have in the minors and could end up being the best of the bunch.
Despite a rather simple pitching motion, Vizcaino gets the most out of his abilities and arm. He possesses a plus fastball that can hit 96 on the gun, and a good curveball. His greatest asset to this point in his career has been his great control. In 85.1 innings last season, Vizcaino walked just 12 batters.
Vizcaino missed two months last year due to a tear in his elbow, but he has been great so far in 2011. After posting a 2.74 ERA last year, he currently is sitting at a 3.04 ERA in 2011. He has struck out 37 batters and walked 10 in 40.1 innings. The 3.7 strikeouts per walk is another good sign for Vizcaino's future.
The ERA took a pretty big jump after Vizcaino gave up five runs in his last start, but it is still better than the majority of pitchers in the minors. Vizcaino held a 2.45 ERA while he pitched for Advanced A affiliate Lynchburg before moving up to AA affiliate Mississippi.
If Vizcaino reaches his potential as a starting pitcher, he should be one of the league's better number two pitchers that could possibly be the team's ace. Some experts don't know if he can stay healthy as a starter though, which would put him in the bullpen. With his devastating fastball-curve combo, Vizcaino would have the potential to be one of the better late-inning guys in the league.
The Braves and fans should hope to keep him in the rotation though to maximize what he can do, but the fact that you can put him in the bullpen and feel good about it is also a plus to the value that he brings to the team.
At just 20, Vizcaino has plenty of time to reach his potential

Indian, Chinese, Malay, Dutch, Portuguese — all these culinary traditions have influenced the cooking of Indonesia. From snowy mountains to steamy rainforest, Indonesian cuisine is marked by a use of bold spices and herbs, the calming creaminess of coconut milk and the sweet touch of palm sugar.Rice is the most common starch in Indonesia, supplemented by a variety of rice and wheat noodles. A variety of vegetables are simmered in stews or tossed in cooling salads. Mild and spicy sauces, called sambals, add flavor to most dishes.

Backhand for players over 60?

I know that almost all of the best 60+ players of today have one-handed backhands, and I wonder what the reason is. The two-handed backhand has been popular since Connors, Evert and Borg broke through in the start of the 70s and a lot of young persons copied their backhands at that time. However, the vast majority of the better players in their 50s, which I run into, have one-handed backhands, although the two-handed backhand was about equally popular when they learned to play tennis. Being 51 myself, I wonder if I should prepare myself to switch to a one-handed backhand in the near future?
Why majority of older players have 1 handed backhands is quite clear - the one hander was the choice of most pros when they started playing, even though there were well-known 2 handers as you point out.
What you really need to find out is if there is someone on the Senior or Champions tour who switched from a 2 hander to a 1 hander. I believe there is one former 2 hander pro who now hits predominantly 1 handers on the senior circuit, though I can't recall offhand who he is.
Also, the 1 hander is very suitable for lazy people so I suppose that is a plus point with seniors.

Southern California Edison Enters Into Momentous Energy Storage Agreements
On November 5, 2014, Southern California Edison ("SCE") announced that it entered into contracts for 2,221 MW of power to satisfy its customers' demand, including contracts for 262 MW of long-term storage capacity. The energy storage agreements were in response to the California Public Utilities Commission's ("CPUC") rulemaking that set energy storage targets for investor-owned utilities in the State of California.

Solar financing startup Clean Power Finance raises $37M from Google Ventures, Kleiner
From GigaOM (Apr. 8, 2013 – 8:20 AM PDT) There's one area of solar that is going gangbusters in 2013, and that's companies that are financing and installing solar panels on rooftops. On Monday morning solar financing startup Clean Power Finance announced that it has raised a round of $37 million in growth equity from investors including Google Ventures, Kleiner Perkins and Claremont Creek Venture.
Odds are, it's a pretty safe bet even for the venture capitalists that have been scared off by the lack of consistent returns in cleantech investing. Last year there were a record-breaking 3.3 gigawatts worth of solar panels — or 16 million individual solar panels — installed in the U.S., making solar power the fastest-growing energy source domestically, according to Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research.

EPA Updates New Source Emission Limits under MATS
On March 29, 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") issued updates to its emissions limits for new power plants under the mercury and air toxic standards ("MATS"). The less stringent limits are a result of new information and analysis the EPA received during the reconsideration period of MATS. The EPA stated that the revisions should not alter the control technologies that owners and operators must install to comply with MATS.

A striking new report finds that China is a net importer of clean technology from America
The Economist (Mar 6th 2013, 18:13 by V.V.V. | SHANGHAI) – A CASUAL glance at the business headlines might suggest that China's renewable-energy industry is an unstoppable juggernaut. Over the past decade, Chinese firms have used supportive government policies and lavish subsidies to leapfrog to the top of the world's wind and solar industries. This has prompted political backlashes overseas—especially in America, where Chinese exporters have faced anti-dumping duties and worse. [Read more →]

Thrown, Kerry Howley
Thrown, Kerry Howley
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice and Notable Book of 2014
An NPR best book of 2014
A Slate Book Review best book of 2014
Time magazine's #2 best book of nonfiction for 2014
An October 2014 American Booksellers Association IndieNext Pick
Listed as one of the "Big Indie Books of 2014" by Publisher's Weekly
In this darkly funny work of literary nonfiction, a bookish young woman insinuates herself into the lives of two cage fighters—one a young prodigy, the other an aging journeyman. Acclaimed essayist Kerry Howley follows these men for three years through the bloody world of mixed martial arts as they starve themselves, break bones, fail their families and form new ones in the quest to rise from remote Midwestern fairgrounds to packed Vegas arenas. With penetrating intelligence and wry humor, Howley exposes the profundities and absurdities of this American subculture.
Kerry Howley's work has appeared in Harper's, The Paris Review, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, The Wall Street Journal, Slate, and frequently in Bookforum. She holds an MFA from the University of Iowa, where she was an Arts Fellow and the Provost's Visiting Writer in Nonfiction.
Praise for Thrown:
"The most bizarre and fascinating book I've read this year. . . . The precision of Howley's prose reminds me of Joan Didion or David Foster Wallace: she's so involved with the fight, it's as if she were trying to eat it with words. Howley writes like someone who's been flayed, all nerve endings exposed, no barriers between her and the world around her."
—Lev Grossman, Time magazine
"This sui generis debut threatens to remap the entire genre of nonfiction. . . . Howley's brilliant prose is as dexterous and doughty as the fighters she trails, torquing into philosophy, parody, and sweat-soaked poetry."
—Publishers Weekly, starred boxed review
"Howley manages to conjure the moments that make fights so thrilling. And it is striking that she manages to do so in a book that is also a very funny satire of the ways in which elites — including, famously, Norman Mailer — often make a fetish of violence and the people who commit it. . . . as dark and funny as anything I have read this year."
—Washington Post
"A truly gripping account of the insular world of MMA—the history, the personalities, the injuries, the money, the white-hot fighters and the foundering ones. . . . Howley stepped into the cage and stepped out of it with something new and stunning."
"Engrossing . . . . Thrown is a sympathetic book about people who might otherwise be written off as dirtbags. . . . an intimate, artful look at violence on the smallest scale."
—Chicago Tribune
"In Thrown, a fresh, funny, and highly cerebral treatise on the philosophical merits of cage fighting, she challenges not only the stigma surrounding the sport but the conventions of literary nonfiction itself."
—Boston Globe
"Thrown is the only MMA book anyone ever needs to write. . . . This is easily the best inside-fights book ever written."
"Readers follow the lives of two mixed martial arts fighters—men who fight in cage matches, who starve themselves, bleed, suffer and inflict as much pain as possible on their opponents. And along the way, we consider matters such as masculinity, brutality and fame. It's a mesmerizing read."
—Houston Chronicle
"Thrown is a triangle choke, a leglock, a one-two-three sequence of humor, passion, and philosophy. It's a knockout debut. A round one win."
—Oxford American
"I don't care about cage fighting, ultimate fighting, MMA; Kerry Howley made me care. . . . The book is about fighting, yes, about an extreme sport and some of the men involved, who maybe aren't, after all, Odysseus or Hector, but possessing of a more earthbound sort of humanity and heroism. It's about the the strong pull of home, the powerful binds of blood, and the press, everpresent, of time. In what we seek, Howley shows us what we fear."
—The Millions
"The fight book of our generation has landed. . . . Thrown is a fantastic debut, and an immediate addition to the great canon of fight-lit, down from Jack London to O.Henry to Oates. If you can navigate this breakthrough in nonfiction, you may feel a bit of ecstasy, too. Howley's contemporaries should feel beat up after reading it; I did."
—The Week
"Thrown is Kerry Howley's masterful debut. A work of rigorous nonfiction that's sure to be branded experimental, but that's as involving and page-turning as any book I've read in a while."
—Gary Shteyngart
"Who can explain what draws a young brilliant writer—and a woman no less—to be mesmerized by the sight of a young man being pummeled in the ring? But out of this passion—maybe obsession—comes a great American story about overlooked heroes, the nature of violence, hope, love and nearly everything else that matters."
—Hanna Rosin, author of The End of Men
"Kerry Howley gives us a front row seat to the dark, brutal inner world of cage fighters. About the yearning dream for fame, the way violence becomes both poetry and obsession, and the way life can lift you up or crush you, this isn't just a masterpiece debut, it's an electrifying classic."
—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Is This Tomorrow and Pictures of You
"Out of the dank basements and glitzy arenas of a brutal sport, Kerry Howley has created a story that is virtuous, rapturous, and utterly consequential. In language that's as daring as it is astute, she tells the story of two young guys from the middle of America, an overachiever and an underachiever, whom the world, it turns out, has equally little use for. It's a story we've read about a thousand times, and one we've seen nothing else like. This is a gloriously heartbreaking debut."
—John D'Agata, author of About a Mountain and The Lifespan of a Fact
"Lyrical and brutal in its subject matter, the poetic voice within offers humor, heart, and grace from the first page and kept me in awe until the end. This is a powerful book reminiscent of Hemingway's early work."
—Frank Bill, author of Crimes in Southern Indiana and Donnybrook

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
With the earplugs in my ears and the commercial chipper running, eating tree limbs in whirs and crunches, the argument looked like pantomime.The tree climber waved his arms. The boss crossed his. The tree climber, the young hotshot, had his climbing belt still slung around his waist and climbing line coiled over his shoulder. His body language said he was saying whatever he was saying emphatically. It said he had it, wouldn't take it any more, and was angrily quitting. The boss fidgeted with his ball cap. I fed another long limb of fir into the yellow chipper. The machine grabbed it, bit it, and roared. Ground-up bits of bark, wood and needles flew out of the chipper and into the back of the dump truck. I slanted my hard hat over my eyes. I couldn't hear anything over the chipper, so the whole scene seemed silent. The guy was quitting. I had felt it coming, but now, here it was: A blowup right in the middle of the biggest job of the summer. I worked for a couple of tree companies, on and off, through the end of high school, and summers during college. I was a line man, running the ropes for the climber. This meant that when a climber strapped on spurs and a safety belt and hiked up a tree, I was below him working the ropes. He would tie off a heavy branch and cut it with a chainsaw, I would let the limb drop away from the man in the tree, but then stop it in the air before it smashed to the ground. It was interesting work and interesting, especially, because I was forced to work with a team. Normally, the way I was taught to work, I worked alone. In a crew of guys, I was assigned a specific job and did my job alone. That's how my dad taught me and my brother to work -- hard and alone. It was a way, I think, of insulating us from other people's bad work habits. We weren't supposed to work like other people worked. We were supposed to work harder and better and faster. I remember watching a couple of guys who had worked together for a long time as they tied down a semi truck load. They didn't have to talk. This surprised me and impressed me. They each knew what the other was doing without looking, without checking, without talking. It was like a working dance. The first day working trees, I learned I couldn't work alone. I was hauling branches from under a tree as the climber cut them down. I had a hard hat on and I was charging under the tree and grabbing branch butts and dragging them away. I was hustling. I wasn't watching the way the tree-climber was working and then I heard him yell. It sounded something like, "Look out!" I looked up to see a heavy limb leaning slowly off the tree, then break and come crashing down at me. I ran, hearing the branch land "woof" behind me. With tree cutting, I had to work with the others, had to work as a team and stay tuned to what everyone else was doing, or it would get me killed. The biggest job of the summer, the last summer I worked for a tree company, we had to trim the tops off trees and clear a view of the sea. The trees grew up from the bottom of a cliff and past the top, blocking a view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. We had to climb down the side of the cliff, trim the trees, lash the limbs to ropes and raise them with a crane. More than any other job, this one required a crew. Of course, things went wrong right away. The boss promised us a bonus, but then took it back the next day. The two climbers squabbled about who would do what, and the foreman made us stand around for hours while he tried to invent new, better ways of doing old, familiar jobs. The boss underestimated labor time, and complained we were ruining him by not meeting his inexplicable explanations. That morning, the second morning of a four-day job, the safety meeting was made up of dour faces and foul moods. A critique turned into an argument. A comment turned into a trashing. The team fractured into sides. This has probably happened in every work place, but I had never seen it before, and it was fascinating and gruesome, like watching a car slide slowly off a mountain edge. I watched the crashing end through the noise of the chipper. I didn't say anything and didn't get involved. The boss said something with an angry face, and I couldn't hear it. The climber turned away, walking off with exaggerated stomps. I fed a branch into the machine, feeling the limb jolting and shaking the needles free. The machine's maw opened and the teeth bit and screamed, shredding wood fibers into little separate bits. Daniel Silliman covers crime for the Clayton News Daily.

Cypriots' president defends bailout deal
Sunday - 3/17/2013, 3:16am EDT
Associated Press
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Cyprus' president said Saturday that the decision to force bank depositors to share the burden of a EUR10 billion ($13 billion) bailout package from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund was done to save his country from financial ruin.
Despite that assurance, nervous depositors rushed to ATM machines in Cyprus on Saturday to drain their accounts.
President Nicos Anastasiades said Cyprus had little option but to accept the bailout deal, which imposes a levy on the country's bank deposits -- an unprecedented step in the eurozone crisis. Without it, he said, Cyprus' banking system would have collapsed on Tuesday.
Anastasiades said that's when the European Central Bank would have stopped providing emergency funding to Cyprus' troubled banks. Such a collapse would have driven the country to bankruptcy and possibly out of the eurozone, he said.
The president said the deposit levy rescues banks, keeps the country's debt load manageable, and avoids the risk of deeper pay cuts and tax hikes.
"We're not aiming to gloss over the situation," he said in his first public statement after the EU-IMF meeting in Brussels agreed on the bailout early Saturday. "The solution taken may be painful, but it was the only one" worth taking.
News of the levy stunned the public because Anastasiades and his top ministers had vehemently rejected any suggestions of going after deposits to save Cyprus' banks that lost billions on bad Greek debt.
Lines formed at many ATMs as people scrambled to pull as much of their money out as they could, a development that Cypriot and European officials feared would happen. Another key concern was that the bailout would buckle investor confidence in Cyprus and other weaker eurozone economies.
Trying to head off a full-blown bank run when banks reopen on Tuesday after the long holiday weekend, Bank of Cyprus Group chief Andreas Artemis called for "calm and a level-headed assessment" of the situation.
"Developments are painful and startling. That's why the public's concern is completely understandable and justified," he said.
The levy is expected to raise EUR5.8 billion.
European officials said people with less than EUR100,000 in their accounts will have to pay a one-time tax of 6.75 percent, those owning more money will lose 9.9 percent. Cypriot bank officials said that depositors can access all their money, except the amount set by the levy.
Details of how the levy would be implemented remain sketchy. For instance, it's unclear how joint bank accounts would be calculated.
Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble called the levy part of the "fair" distribution of the bailout's burden. "The Cypriot banking sector will be significantly reduced to a sustainable level and business model," he said.
The Cypriot bailout still needs parliamentary approval by euro area countries, and Schaeuble said it will be brought before the German parliament in the second half of April.
But Cypriots continued to withdraw cash from ATMs until the machines ran out on Saturday, unsure what or how much would be taxed. The country's cooperative banks also shut their doors after depositors scurried in hopes of protecting their savings.
Christos Demetriades, 58, who milled outside a closed Nicosia cooperative bank branch, said: "Politicians and senior bank bosses have covered each other's backs for years. Now it's ordinary people who are paying the price and are being punished."
One disgruntled customer at a branch in the southern coastal town of Limassol briefly parked his tractor in front of its shut doors in a show of frustration.
Spain's economic ministry said Saturday that the Cyprus deal would not set a pattern for other countries. "This is a specific agreement for Cyprus, with its complex situation and an oversized banking sector, a ministry statement said. "Because of this, Cyprus' situation and this agreement are not transferrable to any other country in the eurozone."
Cypriot lawmakers are scheduled to vote on the levy on Sunday in what is likely to be a stormy session in Parliament.

MF Spec: MotoringFile's Limited Edition MINI (Update)
A few months back we announced a series of limited edition MINIs created with our help by MINI of Chicago. Yet the first of those special editions, a White Silver JCW, should have been in a owner's hands by now. What gives? As bad luck would have it, our MF Spec, 2013 JCW was included in a production delay that pushed all new JCWs back to November start dates. On the bright side, the delay has given us some time to gear up for the car's debut, and MINI of Chicago has responded by including a MF-exclusive bonus of $1,000 in free JCW accessories to the buyer.
What Makes a MINI MF Spec?What are the qualifying factors for MotoringFile Spec? It starts with performance, meaning you'll see mostly JCWs. Also expect the optional factory sport suspensions and other options that make MINIs a bit more sporting as standard from us. However, these cars won't all be ultra-rarified and hardcore. Frankly, if you want hardcore, go buy the JCW GP. Done. Instead, these MF Spec MINIs are meant as daily drivers that look exceptional while staying focused on from-the-factory performance.
As Bespoke as We Can Get
As much as we'd like to, we can't have these cars hand-built (not yet at least). Nor can we option unique paint or include aftermarket accessories. That's part of the challenge. Our goal is to stay within the factory and dealer installed options list, but set a unique, thoughtful spec far more enthusiast-oriented than what you usually find on the dealer lot. We will also be adding some subtle touches to make these cars even more unique. For example, each car will be numbered via a unique grille badge and key-fob artwork created by MotoringBadges.
MF Edition: 01
Factory Specification (Accessories list forthcoming)
Each MF Spec MINI will be known simply by its number. Up first is a White Silver Cooper S JCW hardtop that uses a wide range of options and MINI accessories to create a high contrast exterior look. Black will be the color of choice for the headlights, taillights, grille trim, wheels (18″ V-Spoke R133s) and center stripes. All this chosen contrast accentuates the clean look of White Silver yet give the car a healthy dose of aggression. We call it "01" and it sets the tone for the MotoringFile Spec lineup.
Inside, it's Recaro seats, the JCW dash and JCW red trim to complete the interior package. These contrasting elements will let the window gazers know this isn't just any MINI.
What else does it have? Everything. Literally. For the 01, we wanted to start with a bang. No, it's not cheap, but for those who want sports style, speed and daily luxury, this can be your car.
Look for MotoringFile Spec 01 to hit the MINI of Chicago showroom in early January. If you're interested in learning more about 01, contact MINI of Chicago at (773) 969-5700.
If you can't wait, MINI of Chicago is currently running a special on any JCW or GP order during December. Either car comes with a complimentary track day.
