First Volume of Margaret Thatcher Biography to be Published
by Associated Press
posted Apr 8 2013 4:43PM
LONDON (AP) - The first volume of Margaret Thatcher's authorized biography will be published immediately after her funeral.
Allen Lane, which is part of Penguin Books, said Monday that "Not for Turning" by Charles Moore was commissioned in 1997 on the understanding that it would not be published during the former British prime minister's lifetime.
Thatcher died from a stroke Monday morning at age 87. Her funeral is expected to be held at some point next week.
Moore was given full access to Thatcher's private papers and interviewed her extensively. The publisher said that Thatcher also supported requests for interviews with others, including those who worked most closely with her and her family.
Permission was also granted to former and existing civil servants to speak freely about the Thatcher years.

Importing is not just about buying and selling
Imagine a company in Denver learns it can sell a special toothbrush to the American market, and it will be manufactured in Singapore and imported to the United States.
Let's assume it understands how to deal with Asian factories, and knows how to sell toothbrushes to U.S. distributors and retailers. So what are the company's other potential problems in this scenario?
Well, two governments sit between the factory in Singapore and the firm's U.S. warehouse. And those governments can delay or even stop the shipment of those toothbrushes to the American warehouse.
Any delay in getting the shipment into the United States will have costs. There are many obvious costs:
• The price of delay may mean a dissatisfied client or a canceled purchase by a retailer/distributor.
• Perishable goods can spoil in a delay.
• Factories can close when they don't have the necessary imported parts, and the importer may have other activities going on (a business trip) that can't be accomplished while the goods are delayed.
These are obvious costs to a delay. However, there are many less-obvious costs as well.
"Everywhere along the line there are clocks ticking," says Patrick Gallagher, of Gallagher Transport International in Denver. "Everywhere your shipment sits, storage charges are incurred."
So it's in the importer's best interest to make sure its goods move through the process without costly delays. These delays can raise the cost of our imported toothbrushes, and the firm involved may even lose money by the time the goods arrive.
Steamship lines, airlines, couriers and trucking companies all make money on storage. And if the U.S. customs office delays or holds the shipment, that storage clock still ticked.

Invests $100M, buys P4.8B in bad debts
popular .
International Finance Corp., the private sector funding arm of the World Bank, raised its interest in Yuchengco-led Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. by infusing $100 million in fresh capital and separately buying P4.8 billion worth of the bank's bad assets.
IFC raised its equity interest in RCBC to about 12 percent from 6.4 percent with the purchase of the additional shares priced at P58 each. The private placement transaction valued RCBC at 1.7 times the bank's book value. Two years ago, IFC acquired an initial stake in RCBC at P29 a share.
"They still believe in our growth story," RCBC president Lorenzo Tan said in a briefing Friday, referring to IFC's increase in investment in RCBC.
Aside from buying more shares in RCBC, IFC also led a consortium that took out P4.8 billion of the bank's assets through a special purpose company called Philippine Asset Growth One Inc. (Pago).
The transaction will reduce the bank's nonperforming loan ratio to 0.62 percent from 1.76 percent. Tan said this also marked the unloading of the remaining bad loans incurred during the Asian currency crisis of 1997, when the banking system was hit by a wave of corporate loan defaults.
"While we're building the bank, we are also cleaning up Asian crisis loans," Tan said. "Our plane is now lighter, so we can fly faster."
The unloading of P4.8 billion in bad assets, Tan said, would free up P750 million of capital, which RCBC could use to lend to small and medium enterprises, consumer and microfinance sectors.
The capital buildup is part of RCBC's preparation to comply with the stringent capital adequacy requirements under Basel 3.
"In light of Basel 3, we want to help Philippine banks do their job in helping Philippine development, in the case of RCBC, focusing on the SME sector, helping in job creation," IFC country representative Jesse Ang said.
Ang said job creation was a key area that the Philippine government would need to work on and helping SMEs would be part of this.
RCBC needs to raise a total of $430 million in fresh capital to comply with Basel 3 requirements by the January 2014 deadline set by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, RCBC head of strategic initiatives John Deveras said.
After completing the $100-million private placement deal with IFC, RCBC plans to raise another $130 million from the issuance of Basel 3-compliant hybrid notes, which are perpetual bonds with call options on the fifth and 10th year.

BEST: Julia Stiles craftily wore a cropped vest over a sheer, white blouse, attending the US launch of Pucca at the Curve store in New York City.

it is called "GREED"
Best Answer
That "surprises" you?
Best Answer
Greed.Sad,but I've seen it happen over a will-and the amount of money wasn't that large.
Best Answer
Hi

I do not have to say much on this read the other posters they are right.

Brothers will kill over a will. Some family members cannot wait for the person to die lol they give them a kindly helping hand.

Where money is concerned you really find out who is your real friends in all things.

I followed the instructions supplied with the belt. I've changed the belt before so was familiar with the repair. The toe panel clips for my model had changed so what was supplied was different than the originals. Although they, too, came with instructions, they did not fit my appliance. They were inexpensive so I scrapped them and used some self-adhesive Velcro fasteners I had in a junk box.

loud exhaust options?
i used to have an 1150 with the ztechnick exhaust and i loved the throaty sound. i currently ride the 1200 with a ztechnick, but it is much quieter than my previous ride.
any mods you guys do to get a little louder sound? and if you do mess with the baffles will that screw with the motor efficiency or electronics? any cans out there that pump out a beefy(er) sound? any ideas or experiences or opinions are much appreciated.
loud exhaust options?
Jack up the handlebars and drive a harley under them? :dunno
What year 1200GS?
I mounted a Yoshimura RS3 first, which added a nice grunt. Then I opted for the Remus header/cat delete. This promptly blew out the packing in the RS3 and now my GS is LOUD! I've had this setup for almost 20,000 miles now and other than the occasional subtle backfire/popping on deceleration it runs great! The mechanic at the dealer loves when I bring it in. He has the same setup on his GS only with a TBR can that is also void of packing like mine. At night, at the right angle, it makes fire:clap
This reply was 98% true and factual.
I also have no Cat with a Leo Vince SBK, it is truly offensive :evil and should also be very offensive on a 1200.
Boxers make uninspiring engine sounds...there is no cam overlap and the engine dynamics just do not produce a nice engine song.
Listen to an old Brit 500cc single like a Matchless or a Manx Norton if you want nice engine sounds...otherwise, you're just makin' unpleasant racket.
My riding mower V twin B&S makes nicer sounds than the boxer.
You want loud? Get an Acropovic full exhaust. Not only are they stupid loud, but you get to pay a premium for the pleasure of offending everyone!:deal
Jim :brow
Two options that are relatively cheap:
1. Hollow out your silencer.
2. Remove silencer and replace with a straight pipe.
Too loud? Use steel wool. Fits nicely in your ear canal.
I disagree with the opinion that the boxer engine has a poor exhaust note, Listen to the stock 2010 and later exhaust, that is mechanical music, not loud enough for my tastes, but music none the less. As for noise makers the Akrapovic full system for off road(no cat) is pure mechanical symphony, I love the sound of that motor. I will have the Akra system soon, besides the only people that I worry about waking up is the next batch of immigrants crossing the river, I also live 3 blocks from Southern Pacific line, the people round here wouldnt know if you started a top fuel dragster at 6am. Best wishes to you noise makers. D.
take the can off and get a chrome turn out tip.
For the record... I'm glad you live 1000 miles north of me :D
With valve timing that had both intake and exhaust valves opened at the same time (that's called overlap in cam profile parlance), a small dia. exhaust pipe and a short RCM, a big Dellorto or Amal carburetor...sorry, your boxer sounds anemic compared to those vintage Brit bikes. It appears that your archive of motorcycle sounds is limited to modern day engines....pity.

Having an electrical backround and with a multimeter, I quickly found the the bad component. Taking some satisfaction that the major components were all in good working order, I then began to think that the hardest part of this repair would be the hunt to find what I thought was an obscure part. This is where the internet shines. I found the part with the help of PartSelect and had the freezer back on track 3 days later.

In the coming months, state legislators are likely to find a bill crossing their desks that requires law enforcement agencies to auction guns confiscated in crimes rather than destroy them, as many do now.
U.S. life insurers, a group led by MetLife Inc. and Prudential Financial Inc., would be prohibited from retaining death benefits without specific consent of clients under a proposal today by state legislators.
The National Conference of Insurance Legislators called for a "beneficiaries bill of rights" to protect consumers against abuse by carriers that, for decades, have earned income by retaining death benefits.
Kentucky's insurance regulator has prohibited life insurers in the state from automatically retaining death benefits in their corporate general funds and issuing so-called checkbooks to the survivors.
Richard Shelby , ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, requested the panel review insurers' profits from the practice of retaining soldiers' death benefits rather than making lump-sum payments to survivors.

This is an okay eye-remover product. It's quite oily but it does the job. I'm not a big fan of the packaging because the container is so small, which makes the opening quite small as well. There's also not a lot of product in the container. Overall, it's alright. I would buy this again if I had no other choice.

Pretty good inexpensive remover. My mother has been using it for 10+ years. It works quickly on non-waterproof eye makeup, but the bottle is so tiny I go through it in no time at all. Good for a quick, cheap remover, but not as effective as Neutrogena Oil-free.

This was free with my Intense XXL mascara. The packaging seems cheap, but that's okay. It does an pretty good job at removing makeup, but it's only for nonwaterproof makeup, which I can remove with water with a little more effort. I wish more came in the bottle, since this only lasted me three months.

This products stings my eyes. My eyes are very dry and sensitive. I would dip a Q tip in this product and use it to clean off my mascara, and it would really irritate my eyes. I had to flush my eyes out with water immediately after using this product, my eyes burned so much. I now use Neutrogena oil-free eye makeup remover and it is much better.

This is the only thing I would ever call my HG, I've been using it since high school (~10 years ago) and have never bought anything else. I love it because no matter how good a job I do at removing eye makeup, when I get out of the shower in the morning there's always just a bit of mascara under my eyes and using this on a q-tip is like wiping it away with water, leaves no residue and takes it right off.

This is OK...not amazing but not bad either. I find it takes a while to get everything off, and even then I still wake up with small smudges under my eyes. I like how the product squirts out to minimize wasted product. My friend swears by this stuff; however, I have found better (Neutrogena's) so I will not purchase this again.

It works. It gets my make-up off. It can hurt your eye if you accidentally get to much on a cotton puff. However, that is kind of a granted. Though it says oil-free, at first it feels a little oily but it goes away quick.

i did not like this at all. It only removed my eyeshadow and left all my liner/mascara behind, and it's not even waterproof. I like the fact it's not oily, but it's basically like using $3 water. I've decided makeup remover wipes are much better at removing all makeup without oil, most eye makeup removers i've tried are useless in comparison.

Sundown: Make It Rain
Another scam, Ahmadinejad in line, and a settler speaks
• According to a market-research poll, the number one Rosh Hashanah wish among Israeli Jews is a practical one: increased rainfall. (In a rule that would be instructive to beauty pageant organizers, respondents weren't allowed to choose peace.) [Ynet]
• Jewish charities in Latin America were the hardest hit victims of the Madoff-esque Ponzi scheme allegedly perpetrated by R. Allen Stanford; he may have targeted them specifically. [CBS]
• A Palestine Monitor interview with a Jewish settler in Hebron who believes "the ends justify the means" is relatively even-handed (albeit interspersed on the page with videos of settlers abusing Palestinians). [PM]
• A Swedish official says Iranian President Ahmadinejad's speech yesterday did not cross the "red line" that would have prompted a full walkout by the European Union, although she understands "there were other reasons for other countries that decided to leave." [EJP]
• Publishers Weekly has an interview with Maggie Anton, who recently published the third installment in her trilogy of romances based on the real lives of Rashi's daughters. This one's "like Gone with the Wind, but with the Crusades instead of the Civil War," Anton says an editor told her. [PW]

A decade ago, minimal access procedures radically changed the practice of colorectal surgery. Smaller incisions shortened recovery times, reduced the risk of infection, and decreased trauma and scarring. Today, the field is undergoing another transformation with the growing acceptance of enhanced recovery pathway (ERP), an innovative, multidisciplinary approach to surgical care.
ERP is an evidence-based, multimodal program that seeks to reduce postoperative stress responses and organ dysfunction so that patients recover more quickly, easily and naturally. According to colorectal surgeon Robert R. Cima, M.D., it also overturns decades of established medical practice.
"Many standard interventions for colon surgery don't necessarily benefit patients, yet they remain in use. Enhanced recovery programs focus on novel practices shown to improve outcomes and quality of care."
One of the tenets of ERP is that improving the health of patients before surgery results in a faster, less traumatic recovery. For this reason, ERP avoids traditional preoperative fasting and bowel cleansing.
"No studies suggest an increased risk of complications when patients forgo bowel prep and eat a normal diet the day before surgery. Certainly they feel much better; they're stronger and not dehydrated," Dr. Cima says.
Contrary to standard practice, patients also eat and drink shortly after surgery. Fluid intake begins in the recovery room. Most people eat a small meal that evening and consume a protein-enriched drink the next morning.
"Practice has shown that eating doesn't increase vomiting or paralytic ileus after bowel surgery. Rather, it seems to improve gut function. The gut was designed to survive on food, not clear liquids," Dr. Cima points out.
In addition, drains and nasogastric tubes are not routinely used and urinary catheters are promptly removed after 24 hours. These measures not only reduce urinary tract infections, but also encourage early ambulation, which begins the evening of surgery and is another cornerstone of ERP.
Perhaps the most significant issues differentiating enhanced recovery from standard practice involve pain and fluid management.
ERP emphasizes both optimal pain control and rapid healing. Before surgery, patients receive anti-nausea medication, ibuprofen and acetaminophen to reduce nausea and pre-emptively treat pain. Patients are also assessed for a 24-hour spinal anesthetic. Postoperative pain management includes short-term, low-dose oral opioids and regularly scheduled anti-inflammatories.
Dr. Cima points out that one of the defining characteristics of ERP is the limited use of IV narcotics — a critical factor in speeding the return of normal intestinal function and encouraging early ambulation.
"By the time patients leave the recovery room, they don't need IV medications. Because they're eating, we can use oral analgesics, which have fewer side effects and provide more sustained pain control."
Fluid restriction is another key component of ERP. The goal, both during and after surgery, is to avoid sodium and fluid overload. When euvolemic status is maintained, patients retain less than 1 pound (0.5 kilogram) of fluid.
The ability to reduce surgical stress and restore normal function as quickly as possible has profound implications for patients and for health care in general.
Enhanced recovery programs have been shown to cut the average hospital stay in half — from five or six days to just two or three days — without increasing complications or readmissions. This alone reduces hospital costs by an average of $1,343 per patient.
Research on ERP also shows improved cardiac and pulmonary outcomes, improved muscle function, decreased fatigue, and fewer long-term complications. As important, patients have a better overall experience, with minimal discomfort, a faster return to normal life, and greater independence and participation in their care.
First pioneered 15 years ago, in Denmark, ERP has been successfully used at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., since November 2009. The improvement in patient rehabilitation has been well documented.
"This is a data-driven program," Dr. Cima says. "We're evaluating patient care the way we once evaluated open surgery. In the latter case, we said, 'Do we really need a big incision?' Now we're asking, 'What restores the body to health as soon as possible?' "

Miami Heat rebounded from its NBA Finals opening game loss in emphatic style on Sunday, crushing the San Antonio Spurs 103-84 in game two to square the best-of-seven series.
It was a total team effort from Miami, and it needed it with LeBron James (17 points) not at his explosive best. Four other Heat players stepped up to reach double figures — Mario Chalmers top scoring with 19.
San Antonio's 'Big Three' of Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan combined were just 10 for 33, with Duncan's 3-13 shooting his worst in an NBA Finals game.
"They outplayed us," said Duncan, "We didn't play well, we didn't shoot well and I know I played awfully."
After a first half that mirrored the tight nature of game one, with Spurs' Danny Green scoring four of four three-pointers, Miami broke away in the third and headed into the final quarter with a 75-65 lead.
League MVP James was strangely ineffective on offensive, however, managing just eight points on three of 13 shooting through three quarters and missing a couple of routine lay-ups.
However, he came alive late in the third and carried a more aggressive approach through the fourth as Heat finally produced the offensive power that was the hallmark of its form until the Finals.
"When I was struggling offensively, my teammates continued to keep it in range and we even had the lead," said James.
"I think Rio (Chalmers) more than anybody kept us aggressive... it allowed me to sit back and wait for my time," he added.
Miami's devastating 33-5 run put the game well beyond Spurs, whose coach Gregg Popovich opted to play the final portion of the fourth quarter with reserves on the court.
Ray Allen and Mike Miller each chipped in a trio of three-pointers for the Heat while Chris Andersen went three of three shooting for nine points.
James, who like Heat's other starters also sat out the latter minutes, finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and seven assists but before taking his rest, he brought the crowd to its feet with a stunning block on a Tiago Splitter dunk.
Spurs' game one standout Tony Parker was handled superbly by Chalmers and limited to 13 points on 5-14 shooting. After committing only four turnovers in game one, Spurs gave up 16 on Sunday.
Popovich praises Heat
Spurs head coach Popovich said there was no question of fatigue and no excuses for his team's performance.
"Miami did a hell of a job. Nobody is tired, we had two days off, there's no excuse. The season does get long for both teams but they would both rather be here than at home. So it's not about tired," he said.
Game three is on Tuesday in San Antonio, the first of three games in Texas before the series returns — if needed — to Miami for the final two games.
The result: Game 2: Miami Heat 103 (Mario Chalmers 19, LeBron James 17, Ray Allen 13, Chris Bosh 12, Dwyane Wade 10) bt San Antonio Spurs 84 (Daniel Green 17, Tony Parker 13, Gary Neal 10). Series 1-1. — Agencies

What travellers think
Travellers that stayed here think this hostel is best for
- Relaxing
- Sightseeing
- Unique atmosphere
I stayed a few nights and loved it! I spent one day at the lake kayaking, swimming and sitting in the sun. The next day I went hiking all day with a few other guests. They were all close by. The last day I spent at the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. What a great few days! The place is the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed at and I much preferred being in a 4 bed room than other places that have 6, 8 even 10 other people stuffed into them. All in all, my best experience in a hostel this year!

Due to its rural location, likewise most parts of Nova Scotia, it is essential to have own transport or car-pool with others. Impossible to move around without it.

I slid out the tray in the ice/water area and exposed the 3 screws to remove the unit/panel. I then had to unplug the electrical connection and work the panel around to where I could get to the 2 screws that hold the actuator in place. The water tube holds the panel tight making it difficult to access these two screws but I was able to complete the job in about 15 minutes.

Increasing food price volatility in the wake of the 2007-08 food crisis has raised serious concerns around the world because of its impact on the poor. When the G20 agriculture ministers convene in Paris in June, discussions on how to combat excessive commodity price volatility and address poor people's food security will be at the top of their agenda. These critical issues will also be a top priority during the Cannes summit in November. In both cases, evidence-based policy solutions will be fundamental to informing the agendas.

Research is an important component in the policymaking process. High-quality, policy-oriented research can improve public policy in developing countries and have significant payoffs in terms of economic growth, hunger and poverty reduction, and other development goals. Thoroughly assessing this research is legitimate and in the interest of all stakeholders involved. However, drawing a direct line between research and the results of a complex policymaking process presents a significant challenge.

Agricultural policies influence the quantity and quality of foods farmers produce, as well as the portfolio of crops they grow and the production methods they use. Thus, agricultural policies have a clear impact on human health and nutrition. In turn, health and nutrition policies can affect agriculture by influencing whether farmers and their families are healthy and strong enough to do the labor required on their farms.

Re: EQ2: Splitpaw Adv Pak
There is some new PvE end game stuff on the horizon from what I hear. I don't think anything massive, but still something. Blackwing Lair of course, but tbh only a small portion of WoW's population is going to be able to participate in that due to the difficulty in a 40 person raid encounter. However, in the patch after next, they are going to be introducting to new dungeons. Another 40 person raid dungeon AhnQiraj, and an interesting new dungeon called ZulGurub which is balanced for 20 people. Yeah, I know, I want more, just like you, but it seems to be getting better. I have been fortunate to get into a good guild that is capeable of 40 person raid dungeons, so I'm able to enjoy the end game a little more than the next person. I will say, that after having gotten a taste of MC, I have no desire to do UBRS, Scholo, Strath, or DM again.

Hunter vs. Beneteau
(A continuation of the above)
Hunter is the most maligned and controversial of the big three. Hunter Marine marches to the sound of their own drummer and a lot of people don't like the tune. Their aesthetics are very much and acquired taste and to many of us, who grew up with more traditional designs, would prefer not to buy their look. They tend to be over sold and many of us are somewhat put off by the implication of the "Goes the Distance" motto.
Still looking at them objectively they are reasonable performers for coastal cruising. They offer a lot of accommodations and features for the money. They tend to be sold amazingly well equipped. According to the surveyors that I have talked to Hunter does an excellent job at designing and building boats that meet the various safety standards. The two boats in question have a CE ''B'' Classification which means that they are not certified for open ocean useage.
On the flip side, few builders seem to draw the heavy fire in the court of "common knowledge". Some of this is just plain unwarranted but quite a bit reflects the reality of these boats. They are designed for a very specific clientele. These are not the circumnavigators but a family that is going to weekend and overnight. They are not really set up with sea berths or offshore galleys but the interiors work well on the anchor. They have narrow side decks and rigs that are at their best reaching but give up a bit beating (headstay sag due to no backstay) and running (the mainsail ends up plastered against the shrouds). The fractional rigs are easier to tack and are easier to deal with in changing conditions.
Things I dislike about Hunters; I really do not like the huge plastic port lights. This will deteriorate (my experience about 10 to 14 years in Maryland) and these big panels will be become unsafe and in need of replacement. That will be very expensive. I don't like the rolled out flange hull deck joint. While it provides a nice rubrail, it is highly vulnerable and from an engineering standpoint has the most bending stresses and highest strains compared to almost any other kind of hull deck joint. (My current boat has this kind of hull deck joint and frankly it is the probably one thing I really don''t like about my boat. It is one thing to do this on a Kevlar boat like mine and an entirely different thing to do on an all glass boat)
I don't like the B&R backstayless rigs. I have spent a lot of time on fractional rigs and masthead rigs. To me a fractional rig really makes a lot of sense for cruising but only with a backstay adjuster. Ideally, Fractional rigs can carry considerable larger working sail plans because of their ability to increase backstay tension and quickly depower the sailplan. This means few sail changes and few reefs. BUT the B&R rig does not use a backstay so rapid depowering is not an option. In that case much of the advantage of a fractional rig is lost. Their interiors also tend to be more sterile.
Lastly if you buy a Hunter you have to deal with the emotional issues about them. There are absolutely rabid Hunter haters out there. You can not under estimate the vehemence of their hatred. Then there are rabid Hunter lovers and defenders out there. They can be almost as bad. This roiling controversy results in a situation where you are left either defending the boat to detractors or defending you lack of defense to the rabid defenders.
