A 1-year-old's birthday is balloons and cake with inch-thick frosting that coats the roof of your mouth. It is invitations and paper napkins. It is noise and collaboration. It is a mound of gifts to be opened to the soundtrack of laughter, squeals of delight and the movement of celebration vibrating through the room.
You've made it! You've parented a child through the hardest, most sleep-deprived stage. You have a reason to sing! That accomplishment deserves a melody and streamers and a themed tablecloth that sits under the cake that is glowing with the fire of a candle that reads "1."
But for us, we decided to document our third child, Silas, with a gentle gesture. We decided to lift the obligation of fanfare that would only serve to dilute the day. There was no guest list, no bounce house, no party cups or themed goodie bags. We didn't have an elaborate party, there wasn't a huge crowd, it was just our family.
Our hands were the ones that surrounded him, encouraged him and prayed over him. Because his birth was a miracle – well, all births are when you think about it. But his was tangled in knots, his was a harrowing pause that fills up my mind with equal parts of joy and fear, and sometimes I squish it all into the pockets of my brain. But it's wild and it burns, and I have to share it with you because it's a reminder that we are a part of something bigger and that this life of ours is a gift, and these children of ours are our sweet reward.
I had experienced a healthy pregnancy until two weeks before my due date. I was expecting a second VBAC (vaginal birth after Cesarean), because my first child was an unplanned C-section. Hours and hours into my labor and pushing with my first-born, the doctors deemed her head too big, my pelvis too small, and cut her out of me. I always felt robbed with that birth experience, like something had been taken from me without my consent.
I felt if I had more control over the labor, if I had been more proactive, if I hadn't acquiesced to the nurses giving me drugs and had labored on my own for longer, maybe I would have had a chance at avoiding surgery. But Berlyn, my sweet girl was born, and she was beautiful and healthy. When I became pregnant the second time, I was determined to have a VBAC, and I did, and it was good, and my son Hudson was born.
So for my third, I expected the delivery to be easier because I had done it before and my pregnancy had been ordinary and uneventful. I did yoga, didn't gain too much weight, I walked, ate healthy foods and I was all set to go into labor on my own. Then the unexpected happened.
It was a Saturday. I was at 38 weeks. I was in my bedroom getting ready for the day. My other two children were downstairs with their daddy when I started feeling light-headed. Suddenly, I was leaking bright red. I was scared but calm, nervous but collected. I called for my husband, and arrangements were made to head to the hospital.
My belly was contracting, but instead of coming and going it was just one tight contraction – it never let up. We didn't know what was happening. We didn't know how severe things were.
We made it to the admitting area, which was this tiny room with three beds. The nurse tossed me a gown and pointed to the bathroom, I quickly changed, then told them I was bleeding. Immediately all the focus in the room turned to me.
A hurried ultrasound exam revealed that my baby wasn't doing well. I laid on the bed breathing slowly, as I saw hands flutter around my body. I heard his heart beat on the monitor. It was slow.
WHOOSH, silence, silence, silence, WHOOSH, silence, silence, silence, WHOOSH ...
Code blue.
My husband was at the nurses' station filling out paper work.
I was alone.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the neuromotor control of the gluteus medius (GMED) and gluteus maximus (GMAX) muscles in runners with Achilles tendinopathy to that of healthy controls.
Methods: Fourteen male runners with Achilles tendinopathy and 19 healthy male runners (control) ran overground while EMG of GMED and GMAX was recorded. Three temporal variables were identified via visual inspection of EMG data: (i) onset of muscle activity (onset), (ii) offset of muscle activity (offset), and (iii) duration of muscle activity (duration). A multivariate analysis of covariance with between-subject factor of group (Achilles tendinopathy, control) and variables of onset, offset, and duration was performed for each muscle. Age, weight, and height were included as covariates, and α level was set at 0.05.
Results: The Achilles tendinopathy group demonstrated a delay in the activation of the GMED relative to heel strike (P < 0.001) and a shorter duration of activation (P < 0.001) compared to that of the control group. GMED offset time relative to heel strike was not different between the groups (P = 0.063). For GMAX, the Achilles tendinopathy group demonstrated a delay in its onset (P = 0.008), a shorter duration of activation (P = 0.002), and earlier offset (P < 0.001) compared to the control group.
Conclusions: This study provides preliminary evidence of altered neuromotor control of the GMED and GMAX muscles in male runners with Achilles tendinopathy. Although further prospective studies are required to discern the causal nature of this relationship, this study highlights the importance of considering neuromotor control of the gluteal muscles in the assessment and management of patients with Achilles tendinopathy.

Originally written on Awful Announcing | Last updated 11/15/14
Former Arizona Diamondbacks color commentator and Chicago Cubs first baseman Mark Grace has been sentenced to four months in jail following his second DUI arrest in a year. Grace took a leave of absence from the Diamondbacks in August following his arrest, and the team officially dismissed him and play by play man Daron Sutton after the season. Grace's sentence also includes two years of probation. After dismissing Grace and Sutton following the season, the Diamondbacks reached out to various announcers to fill their open positions, eventually hiring former Cubs color commentator Bob Brenly and former ESPN Baseball Tonight studio host Steve Berthiaume. It's a bit of a sad, yet thoroughly unsurprising and completely deserved end to Grace's sage over the last few months. Hopefully, his time in jail will enable him to get his life in order.

Library Journal
This volume contains stunning, high-quality reproductions of works from the invaluable European collection of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. It covers more than 60 artists from nine countries, among them André Breton, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Édouard Manet, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, and Paul Signac. An introduction by Tinterow, a longtime curator at the museum, and contributions from four other curators and a research associate add to the book's appeal. Further improving the experience for both the casual reader and the serious researcher are the documentation of history of ownership and exhibitions, provision of provenance information, and availability of useful bibliographies for each painting featured. Ultimately, however, it is the paintings themselves and their truly beautiful reproductions that rule the pages and make this a wonderful addition to any specialized art or academic library collection.

Samsung unveils new flagship Galaxy S III
By Nick Moore
May 6, 2012
Samsung is currently the number one Android handset maker in the world, with market researcher NPD recently reporting that one in every four smartphones sold in the U.S. bear the Samsung logo. So it comes as no surprise that the Galaxy S III has become one of the most highly anticipated phones of 2012, but does it live up to the hype?
DesignAt its Mobile Unpacked event last week in London, Samsung stated that the Galaxy S III was a phone "inspired by nature." Translation - The Galaxy S3 ditches the hard square angles of its predecessors in favor of a more rounded design that shares more than a passing resemblance to the Galaxy Nexus. The case itself is being offered in "Pebble Blue" or "Marble White", and aims for a more organic feel, rather than the slab of glass designs we've seen on other smartphones such as the Droid series or the iPhone 4. The slight shift in design may also have something to do with keeping Apple's lawyers off its back this time round.
DisplayOne area Samsung has always excelled in is display quality, and the Galaxy S III is no different. Featuring a 4.8 inch AMOLED display with a pixel density of 309 ppi, this is easily one of the nicest Android displays out there. However, Samsung has decided to use a PenTile setup in the S III, which sees smaller subpixels sharing space onscreen with surrounding pixels to save energy. PenTile can lead to colors looking a bit over saturated and distorted, but we'd be surprised if Samsung would let its flagship device launch with a subpar screen.
Under the HoodThe Galaxy S III launches with specs that set the early pace for 2012.
Full specifications:
SoftwareThis years Galaxy announcement was dominated by software. For starters, there's S Voice, a service that promises full control over your S III using only your voice, much like Apple's Siri. And like Apple's offering, S Voice requires a data connection as the processing is done in the cloud. There's also a new feature called Smart Stay, in which the S III uses its front facing camera to track the user's eye location, dimming the display when you look away to conserve power, and S Beam, which lets files be transferred between devices using NFC and Wifi Direct. The redesigned Touchwiz interface for the S III sees the signature dock bar at the bottom of the screen now holding five icons rather than four.
Wrap upThe Galaxy S III is an impressive device, with a screen that rivals that of Apple's retina display and is sure to win over those you see it first hand, and a CPU/GPU combo that allows it to tackle anything on the Google Play store without breaking a sweat. Set for release in the U.K on May 28th, and the rest of the world shortly after.

Syncing the S2 phone with my contacts is a chore from outlook. The damn swype keeps locking up the whole phone in the middle of a text or email. I WANT Ice Cream Sandwich and not all this bloatware that ships with the phone from my carrier also!Jake Dhillon
I begrudgingly bought an Android to port my iOS App over to.
I was an absolute die-hard Apple fan, but Samsung and Android just leave iPhone for dead. Everything about it is just better - my old iPhone just seems so old now...
It kind of serves Apple right for suing them. I would have just bought anything, but since Apple sued Samsung, I guessed that Samsung must be the best competitor out there, so I specifically bought their brand.
There's a lesson for you Apple. Forget the lawyers - when people do stuff better than you, concentrate on improving yourself, instead of telling everyone to go buy someone elses better stuff through your silly lawsuits!christopher

I was speaking with tech support for my cable internet provider troubleshooting a faulty router. They knew, somehow, if and when my modem was communicating with my router. Just wondering how is this possible? Can they detect the NAT somehow (how?)? Thanks.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
It's possible that your modem reports the MAC address back to your ISP. If that MAC address points to, say, cisco, or broadcom, then it's obvious you're using some form of router, as neither manufacturer commonly makes NICs.
EDIT: They could also be detecting the operating system installed on the router using any form of operating system fingerprinting.

Hello. I just purchased this product of yours because it looks very nice, although I am a little disappointed because I though was an actual website. Of course it is not… it is just images. It is only a concept of a website and I spend $10 for no reason unfortunately. Oh well…
Question: Can you convert those images to an actual website? If not… can you recommend me something so I can use them and create a website out of them?
Thank you for your time and looking forward to your reply.
Regards, Yannis
Thank you for purchasing PSD template..Yes you are right it is not actual working theme for now & It is already in PSD design category as well

This fall, as he does every semester, NYU photography professor Wafaa Bilal will talk to his students about the deep devotion that's required to succeed as an artist. "I tell my students this a hard profession to be in, a hard profession to succeed in," he says. "You have to be dedicated." If Bilal's words don't convince his students of this, his example surely will. Whenever the professor turns his back to the class, his students will see a camera implanted in the back of his head.
Or so he hopes. Since December, Bilal has been wearing the two-inch-diameter,10-megapixel camera as part of an art project called 3rdi. Once per minute, the camera automatically captures a still image, that is sent via USB cable to his laptop (which he carries at all times, in a tote bag), then instantaneously published on his website and displayed on a 52-inch LCD screen in Doha, Qatar's Mathaf: the Arab Museum of Modern Art, which commissioned the work as part of Told Untold Retold, a 23-artist exhibition that marked the museum's opening last winter.
Yet becoming a human camera has not been easy. First, NYU ordered Bilal not to transmit images from school property, citing privacy concerns. Then, in February, his body rejected the implant, forcing him to wear the camera around his neck; Manhattan industrial designer Nisha Sawhney is now racing to design a lighter housing that will allow Bilal to re-implant his camera safely before the start of the fall semester.
A 45-year-old Iraq native who immigrated to the United States 20 years ago, Bilal has built a career creating art that makes you worry about him. In 2004, Bilal's brother was killed by a U.S. missile at a checkpoint in Iraq. His father died two months later—"from grief," Bilal says. In his work since then, he has gestured toward the violence of the Iraq War by inviting people, including his audiences, to harm him. Visitors to a downtown gallery last spring winced as they watched Bilal absorb the repeated pricks of a tattoo gun that drove 25,000 tiny dots, each representing a casualty of the Iraq War, into his back. A year earlier, Bilal asked an online audience to vote on who should be water boarded: the artist or a dog. (The audience chose Bilal, and he was water boarded, without an audience, at an "undisclosed location" in upstate New York.) For his most famous work, 2007's "Shoot an Iraqi," Bilal locked himself for 30 days in a small cell in a Chicago gallery, with a paintball gun aimed at him that visitors to his website could fire remotely. More than 60,000 people shot him.
Bilal traces 3rdi's genesis to a different American intervention in Iraq: the Gulf War. He was a young man living in his hometown of Kufa during the 40-day bombardment of the country by U.S. forces in 1991. "I wish at the time I had a camera to record the story," he says. "The memories I have, they're all fading away." (He soon fled Iraq for refugee camps in Saudi Arabia, where he remained for two years before being granted asylum by the United States.)
His artistic purpose for the project is harder to discern. It's not that he won't discuss the matter. He says it can be interpreted as symbolizing the desire to record life's fleeting moments, that it's a prediction of a future when embedding gadgets in our bodies may become commonplace, and that it's meant to provoke discussion about surveillance in American cities. Finally, you realize that he wants 3rdi to mean whatever it means to you that a camera has been surgically implanted in the back of the head of a man who is not certifiably crazy. "I try to avoid to dictate my point of view," he says, adding, "As an artist, I am a mirror."
One thing 3rdi is certainly about is pain. To date, Bilal has endured two surgeries. The first was performed—"probably illegally," he admits—by a body-modification artist in Los Angeles, where he flew one weekend in November after a Manhattan dermatologist who had agreed to perform the surgery pulled out just weeks before the scheduled launch. The goal of the procedure was to insert under Bilal's scalp three clover-shaped metal pieces, each consisting of a flat titanium base and a quarter-inch stem, with the bases resting on his skull.
The video of the surgery, parts of which can be seen in a short documentary on view at the 3rdi installation in Doha, is difficult to watch. The body-modification artist slices a neat line across the back of Bilal's head, slides the pieces under the skin, then presses the studs back through the scalp as blood streams down it. (Bilal, who took only a local anesthetic, describes the procedure as "painful.") He then attaches to the back of Bilal's head the plastic plate that will serve as the camera base, sliding it over the studs and screwing in pins to secure it. The next week in class, Bilal hid the base under bandages and a hat.

THIS book explores the seven mechanisms by which biological phenomena might arise, and how five of them have contributed to life on the planet. The journey takes us deep into molecular biochemistry, a land fraught with polysyllables, equations and chapter titles such as "Homochirality" and "Thioesters". Fear not, though, for our guide not only jointly won the 1974 Nobel prize for physiology and medicine, but can also explain complex theories in fine, incisive prose. He takes us on a dazzling trip within a cell, providing a beautiful exposition of life's biochemical cycles, their elegance, equilibrium and evolution. He also gives a convincing demolition of intelligent design in light of its failure to explain bio-complexity at the molecular level.

Who Do you like best as a person? Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic?
Who do you like best as a person?
Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic?
Djokovic, by far. He seems to be such a likeable person. Very much like Baghdatis. He has a real personality and its a pleasure to watch him on the court.
Roger, definitely. A nice down to earth guy. I can easily imagine having a good chat with him.
He is passionate, hard-working and amusing young fella.
A tie between Federer and Nadal
I like Federer the best (although I root against him whenever he plays an American). He seems to be a gentleman and carries himself with grace when he walks out on the court. It doesn't hurt that he's a stylish dresser of the court as well (clothes don't make the man but they help him when he's made).
How can you not like a guy who says that "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice." :wink:
Novak is the player everyone likes to hate and I'm sure most of us like hating him.
1. Federer. Fed plays fairly and competes hard. He answers questions honestly, if a bit brashly from time to time. Is never crude or unkind, however -- simply his blunt, analytical Swiss demeanor. He comports himself in a gentlemanly manner, and seems to have his life stable and together off the court.
2. Djokovic. Is a bit of a clown, but good-naturedly so. Comes off as a bit uneven, personality-wise, which is understandable. On the one hand, he's clearly a jovial, good-natured competitor, but on the other, he's clearly intense and doesn't like it when things aren't going his way. Typical of a young, talented, intelligent man trying to find the balance between greatness and graciousness. Takes advantage of the rules in a way that pushes his opponents, and I'd like to see less of this from him as he matures.
3. Nobody belongs at #3, as the gap between the first two and the last is so big.
Last - Nadal. He cheats. Plain and simple. He knows he does it, he's been called on it, and he continues to abuse his position of power as a recognizable face in a struggling sport. Stalls, solicits coaching, and is always ready with his pre-tournament pseudo-injury excuse..."just in case." He's clearly not very bright, and it comes through in his duh-duh interviews, where he can barely piece together thoughts in the lingua franca of competitive tennis -- English. It's the sport that pays your bills, assclown -- learn the language and grow up. He's filthy, always coming on the court with greasy hippie hair. And his effeminate clothing, demeanor, and lifestyle are all bad influences on impressionable young viewers.
Most people would choose Novak over the other two, I think. He really cuts it close when he calls his injury timeouts, and when he bounces the ball like 20 times. It's really something that gets in your head, whether you like it or not.
^^^ good post, good to see people who are not haters. Nice review.
good thing that you have your legend status here to abuse telling us what should we do and who should we hate.
Grimjack your comments re. Nadal is so personal and hateful, what did the guy ever do to you?
Some of the words you used are really uncalled for. Geez.
Whoa now, I think that's crossing the line.
Just because English is not his first language, and/or that he struggles with English, you claim that he's not very bright? As far as your statement that "It's the sport that pays your bills" as a reason why he should learn English better--I'm pretty sure that Nadal is more focused on getting better at playing the sport that pays his bills. Very prudent of him, and intelligent, I might add. In addition, stooping to the level of using personal epithets is never a classy act...
I wonder where you would rank in a "Which member of TTW do you like best as a person?" poll ;)
You should be banned because you write useless posts and that qualifies for spamming.
^ thats tru...he had no excuse when he lost to tsonga...look tennis is a world sport...it is very common that a person from a non-speaking english country struggles to speak it...there are probably worse players on the tour who cant speak english...and u also go into his look, it wut he prefers...did he do anythin horrible to u??
Djoko doesn't show respect to Fed and Nadal. Both Fed and Nadal shows enough respect to each other. For that matter, I can not bear with Djoko's cocky attitute, have to say like Fed the best, then Nadal.
Do I need to write down just the thread names today as a proof for this or will you believe me ?

Plastic Cup Dangle Earrings

Create custom earrings from a plastic cup, a paper punch, and your favorite fabric prints with this recycling craft from Maureen Wilson. If you're looking for a fun plastic cup craft to recycle leftover cups, this video tutorial is for you.
- Plastic cup
- Scrapbooking paper punch
- Fabric scraps
- Fabric adhesive spray
- ModPodge & brush
- Jump rings
- Fish hook earrings
- First protect your work area with newspaper or wrapping paper, because it's going to get sticky.
- You'll need a plastic cup. I would recommend using a clear one if possible, but this was all I had on hand. Cut a flat strip from the cup. Don't use any part of the cup that has ridges.
- Use a scrapbooking paper punch to punch shapes from the plastic. For this pair, I'm using a 1-inch circle punch and a 1/2-inch circle punch.
- Cut scraps of fabric to cover your shapes. You'll want to cover the front and the back.
- Use fabric adhesive spray to adhere the fabric to the plastic. Smooth down the fabric.
- Allow it to dry for a couple of minutes, then lift the paper to gently peel the earring from your work area. Cut around the shape to remove the excess fabric.
- Spray the other side with adhesive spray, and repeat the previous steps.
- Use a small 1/8 inch hole punch to add holes for your jump rings. I'm adding one hole to my large circle, and two holes to my small circle.
- Seal the fabric and prevent fraying by coating the front, back, and sides with a layer of ModPodge. Allow to dry.
- Use jump rings to attach the shapes to fish hook earrings. When opening jump rings, twist the opposite sides to open rather than pulling apart.
Try making earrings in a variety of shapes and prints!

DepEd wants classes to resume
MANILA, Philippines—Education authorities want to see classes resume even if the schools are used as temporary shelters for flood-affected families.
Department of Education director for the National Capital Region, Luz Almeda said evacuees will be asked to move out of the classrooms to open spaces in the campus during the day to make way for the students.
"Yes we'll resume classes tomorrow (Thursday) even if we still have evacuees. The evacuees can transfer to open spaces, they can go to the covered court. They can stay even if there are classes," Almeda said in a phone interview.
Some evacuees also return to their homes during the day and only stay the night in the evacuation centers, Almeda added.
Some mayors of heavily-affected cities and municipalities in Metro Manila however have decided to continue to suspend classes on Thursday to let the public recover from the flooding.
Almeda, who went around to check on some of the public schools that were opened to evacuees, said they have yet to assess the flood damage on public schools in Metro Manila.
"We have not assessed the flood damage to our schools because we're still busy accommodating evacuees. But it appears no schools were hardly hit," she said.
DepEd said extra school days may not be needed yet to make up for the class suspensions since the 200-day school calendar includes 20 days as buffer for class disruptions.
"There may still be enough buffer days at this time of the school year so as not to require make up classes following the two days lost this week," DepEd said in a statement.
DepEd requires a minimum 180 school days for the entire academic year.

What's Going on Here Then?
By SAM BEATTIE
THEY give a fascinating insight into the lives and times of Teesside's steel families.
But there's a problem – experts don't have the foggiest what these photos are about. So they're asking Teessiders: "Give us a clue!"
The perplexing pictures are part of the newly-launched British Steel Collection, which has gradually been brought to life through the pounds 1.6m British Steel Archive Project.
Project manager Dr Joan Heggie, from the University of Teesside, hopes people can reveal the "whos, wheres and whats" in the mystery pictures before memories are lost forever.
"So many of these things are time-limited," she said. "If you don't grasp the nettle, you lose this information not just there and then but for the next generation.
"There are going to be things that people know lots about. They might have worked in places like this, or their dad or grandad did, or maybe they lived nearby.
"We really want to dip into that local knowledge. We want people to tell us their memories."
As the project gains momentum, researchers will also interview former steel workers and their families to preserve first-hand stories.
A "virtual museum" will be set up where people can view exhibits and swap messages with organisers and other visitors.
Launched at Corus HQ in Redcar in late June, the British Steel Collection contains more than 25,000 locally-taken photos, more than 70 cinefilms, British Steel wage-books and employment records.

Outrun: the Ferrari 458 Spider driven
Top Gear magazine's Tom Ford takes a spin in Ferrari's new convertible. With fashion model in tow…
Posted: 03 Dec 2011
Pull the right-hand paddle for first from the seven-speed DSG 'box and drift away, notably without any of the jerkiness or transmission shunt we used to get from the old Ferrari F1 robotised sequentials. By 30mph, we're in fifth gear, the 'box having sussed its way into the longest ratio it can manage with 398lb ft of torque and in auto mode, the better to contain potentially ravenous amounts of CO2. You'd think this would be a bit weird, but the gearbox is so slick it really doesn't matter - and means that the Spider is also exceptionally quiet if you just float about in auto.

"Not as entertaining as the novels in the series"
You won't be missing anything if you don't purchase this book. This book contains 3 short stories that I gather are basically prequels. I enjoyed it, but I'm left feeling unfulfilled. I think it would have been better if the author had just written a true prequel to the series. There are two narrators and one was really pretty good, but the other not so much. Save your credit for something better.
"Tied up loose ends!!"
I loved it- just like I did all the rest of the books!! I wish there were more books!
Kept me on the edge of my seat! Pittacus lore is amazing! Hope they come out with another book soon!
"Terrific Addition"
I found these stories a terrific addition to the main "I am Number Four" books. I really enjoyed the additional background on Adams and Nine's Saigon.

A pacifier is a plastic or rubber device for a baby to chew or suck
on. Babies often need to suck for satisfaction rather than for food.
Most babies don't need as much sucking time by about 6 months of age. It's pretty easy to take the pacifier away from your baby at that age, before your baby gets
too accustomed to using it for comfort. You can give your baby a blanket or toy for comfort instead.
Pacifiers can be a source of injury if they are not used as intended or if the wrong size is given to a child. A child can choke on a pacifier that's too small for his or her mouth. A pacifier can be dangerous to a child if it is attached to
a string that may get tangled around the baby's neck. And an unsteady toddler who walks or runs with a pacifier in his or her mouth is at risk for mouth and face injuries.
Long-term use of a pacifier may cause permanent teeth to come in crooked or to get out of alignment as your child gets older.

Capital markets businesses are bulking up their deal-making capacities as structural reforms advance
Juan Carlos Merodio of M&L Estudio Legal has been chosen
advisor to DLA Piper in Mexico, the latest in a series of
new appointments to reinforce Mexican teams.
He has been brought in to help develop DLA's
strategy, including in oil and gas and telecommunications areas
in Mexico, which has become a favorite among investors in
recent months.
Evercore has hired Scotia's Randy Crath as a
senior managing director in its oil and gas group in Houston to
"help build momentum" in Mexico, Brazil and Europe, the
investment banking firm said this week.
The appointments come as investment banks and law firms step
up a bid for talent in Mexico as the government moves ahead
with plans to implement structural reforms in the energy,
telecommunications and other sectors that will likely attract a
flurry of new investments.
Itau BBA opened a broker-dealer in Mexico in January,
appointing Alberto Mulas as chief executive. The same month,
BTG Pactual officially started operations in the country
with a team of 25. And the chief financial officer of
Mexico's social security institution,
Mauricio Alazraki, joined Santander's Mexico
office in February to cover energy clients.
Among law firms,
Holland & Knight nabbed a team of five capital markets
lawyers from DLA Piper to set up a Mexico office in the
first quarter.
Haynes and Boone, meanwhile, has hired former Shell executive
Carlos Canales and Rafael Carmona from a local firm this
year, and said in March that it was on an "aggressive pursuit"
for more staff in its Mexico City office.
One senior banker in New York recently told
LatinFinance that missing mandates from some of the
large-scale energy and infrastructure transactions ahead in
Mexico was what kept him awake at night.
"Not a lot has happened yet [in Mexico]," he said. "But if
you don't get wallet share in Brazil and Mexico,
then you're not a world-class investment bank."

Stan: as a Mexican, all I can tell is that we KNOW that things need to change. It's urgent! But (and that is no small BUT) we don't trust the people who are doing the changes. We have had the banks seized by the State, and it was not good to us. Then they were released back to private hands, and that was also not good to us. And now, it's the same old school PRI, reloaded, who is going to make the changes. No matter all that fine PR/press job they are doing... we don't trust them. And we haven't comeo up with a decent alternative.

I've lived in Mexico for the last 5 1/2 years. I have been impressed with the collaboration between the PRI AND PAN to change the laws of Mexico to facilitate change in PEMEX, the banking system, the education system and investment in infrastructure. I sense no excitement among the average Mexican citizen. It's as though they don't realize what is happening to their country and the implications for themselves and their children. Perhaps I'm overly optimistic. One thing I would like to see happen in Mexico. Banks will not make loans on home equity. I suspect there are home owner protection laws that make it difficult for a bank to take a home in a loan default. Changing those laws would release billions and billions of pesos that would spur the economy and create opportunity to use those locked up funds. The country will soon be the top vehicle exporter in the world so Mexico is getting there and perhaps accelerating it's growth.

I am running the Corporate child theme.
I am using the content-sidebar layout on the home page.
When I add a widget to the Featured area, the home page body class changes to full-width.
I would like to keep content-sidebar, how do I fix it?
Look in your theme's home.php file. The function
corporate_home_genesis_meta has a line to force the home page to full width if any of the home page widget areas have a widget in them. You can remove or comment out the relevant line (14) and see if that does what you need, but you may need to adjust some CSS as well.
Line 14:
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );
Corporate is not a theme I've worked with before, so I don't know what changing to a content-sidebar layout will do to the widgetized home page. HTH
I do the best I can with what I've got. (say hey on twitter)

02 October 2013 23:59 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--European October styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) monthly contract prices have risen by €20-50/tonne ($27-68/tonne) because of increased butadiene (BD) costs, sources said on Wednesday.
The price of 1500 grade SBR settled at €1,420-1,490/tonne ($1,919-2,014/tonne) FD (free delivered) NWE (northwest Europe), while 1723 grade settled at €1,320-1,370/tonne FD NWE, an increase of €50/tonne on the low end and an increase of €20/tonne on the higher end.
Meanwhile, SBR 1783 grade settled at €1,280-1,350/tonne FD NWE, an increase of €50/tonne on both the low and the high end.
The October BD contract price settled at €825/tonne FD NWE, an increase of €50/tonne from September.
SBR producers said they would pass on the increased BD costs, despite the €92/tonne decrease for October styrene because of improved export opportunities into Asia.

Mr Fists
I hear ya JD…but don't forget Barrera beat Morales at LEAST twice. Some (not me though) believe he won all three.
That's a sound argument though. I can't put Cuevas in the top ten either. He had a vicious title reign, but the caliber of opposition seems to be middling. I grew up in the 90's, however. Maybe his reign was more impressive, real-time.Posted October 24, 2012 11:25 pm
Jack Dempsey
To Mr. FIST,, a good top ten list of the, all time great fighters from Mexico,, but i personally would put Morales above Barrera,, Morales beat Jr. Jones and Pacquiao two guys that knock out Barrera ,,also Morales beat undefeated Kennedy Mckinney a fighter no one was able to beat… also i would have Pipino Cuevas in there some place ,,He defended his welter weight title 10 times..Posted October 23, 2012 8:41 pm
Mr Fists
PLEASE call it a career Erik…nothing more to prove here.
1) JC Chavez
(Didn't include JM Marquez since his body of work isn't complete)
That about right…? Would love to get other opinions.
Particularly from Mexican/Mexican-American fight fansPosted October 23, 2012 5:58 pm
In reality, it was a GOOD win for Garcia but NOT a 'great' win. Erik is no longer the GREAT "Terrible" that he once was. Just to be able to hold his own against Maidana, defeat Cano and war with Garcia in their previous encounter is worthy of the highest praise and props. On the other hand..Garcia has fooled most experts. Many thought he would lose vs Holt, then against Morales the 1st time and most all figured Khan would pound him until his dad would come to his rescue. Some now might still consider him and over achiever. hmmm… Quite possibly so. but until then he's EARNED our respect. Erik's choice to exersise his rematch option was a GALLANT decision on his part, to be expected from a WARRIOR like Erik "EL Terrible" Morales. History has proven that a true fighter like Erik couldn't refuse an opportunity to avenge a loss and retire. He'd never be able to live with it so.. he did what TRUE Warriors do and went out on his shield. He will always be remembered as The Great Erik "El Terrible" Morales, unforgettable. This Boricua salutes you!!Posted October 23, 2012 5:56 pm
M. Mendoza
MAD SCIENTIST: Totally agree with your comments. I'm hoping that Garcia and other young boxers can continue to develop because young upstarts are great for the sport. Pac and Marquez are okay for the 4th time if for the sake of my own nostalgia about those two. As far as Mayweather and Pac — it sounds like the MacArthur Park song with "someone left a cake out in the rain" with the "icing melting down.". Oh yeah — corny as it may sound.Posted October 23, 2012 12:34 pm
The Mad Scientist
If GBP wants to match Danny carefully so he can develope more technique and make some good paydays in the process is all good with me..Im all for letting young fighters with talent grow into their full potential before matching them tough on a consistant basis..the sport of boxing needs more stars and guiding a youngster career the right way is how they're made.Posted October 23, 2012 1:36 am
The Mad Scientist
Mendoza -I never said Garcia wasn't ready for Matthysse or Rios, I just said I would slightly favor them over Swift..IMO, Danny hasn't really been battle tested to assume he can get into a wood chopping contest against the top lumberjacks at 140lbs in the scorching heat..we all know Rios is a limited boxer but he has proven to be strong and durable if a tough battle should emerge..Matthysse on the other hand is probably the hardest puncher at jr welter with some good fundametals who has never really tasted a clear cut defeat against pretty good opposition..Garcia is the recognize champ at 140 but the most knowledgeable fans know the division is still wide open for any of the top doggs to resume the role of Champion at 140lbs.Posted October 23, 2012 1:26 am

MAD SCIENTIST: I would give Garcia a creative edge over super-tough Alvarado in terms of boxing skills. you're right about Garcia not being ready for Matthyse or Rios. He needs a bit more time. Hopefully, GBP will match up Garcia equally as carefully as they have Canelo. If they do, then, yes, Garcia would have a fair chance to equally follow either Matthysse or Rios to "deep waters" and at least almost "drown" the heck out of them. If I but may steal a bit from your quote.Posted October 22, 2012 11:20 pm
Pain – all due respect brother.. Garcia is 24 years old, still very green he's a 140lber.. he is by no means ready fight a Veteran like Paquiao who fights above 154lbs… Lets not rush this kid into a fight he's not ready for… all in due time..Posted October 22, 2012 10:05 pm
"That fight was FAR from conclusive for Cano who had holes blown in his grill and was swollen up by a light puncher…"
Like I said on another thread SRedmond, Cano's face told the real story. Paulie was tagging it often. And for every jab or power punch that Cano landed, Paulie made him miss many, many more. For a "feather-fisted" fighter like Paulie to go twelve rounds with a tough-hard hitting puncher–who has respectable speed, mind you–says a lot about Paulie's boxing skills and toughness. Paulie may have got knocked down late, but by God he got back up and finished like a man and a warrior. Typical Paulie Malignaggi.Posted October 22, 2012 7:52 pm

"WTF is just doing what he needs to do[?!?] to neutralize the viciousness[?!?] of certain MEX-TEX, MEX-CAL and other MEX-US posters who can't help themselves and get carried away whenever their homeboys lose[?!?] in the ring". disingenuous diplomacy like this only fuels the "bashing". first of all, "WTF" reserves his most vicious pissing, bashing, and race-baiting for when Mexican "homeboys" WIN. especially when they do it in PR. he also overreacts to even the most accurate and factual observations regarding a PR fighter, e.g., Trinidad was outBoxed, outPunched, and outClassed v. elite opponents. that factual observation alone —directly supported by the videotape— will send "WTF" into a meltdown of foul, crude, and unoriginal pissing, spouting, and Lying about any and every Mexican fighter in the sport. anyway, as long as biased posters like Mendoza continue to apologize for hysterical housewives like "WTF" while ignoring how "WTF" intentionally provokes the pissing matches with his relentlessly foul and rabid tantrums —across several articles, about any and every Mexican fighter— then he must also be considered to be part of the problem NOT the solution. consequently, until Mendoza learns sincerity or "WTF" adopts sanity, I won't consider either to be serious posters or fight-fans . . .

WTF???! – I usually agree with you, but lately you been cruelly bashing Mexican fighters, what's up with that? Yes, Morales is OLD and is no longer the fighter he once was….but you're acting as though he's the first fighter to fight on longer than he should, he's done and NOW he knows it….it happens. I knew he'd get KO'd, I called it, and I was deeply pissed by the rumors that he'd tested positive (jury is still out)…but damn, the guy is HOFR and he's given boxing 20 GREAT years of his life. Give him a break. He's riding off into the sunset (a little late) as one of the GREATEST Mexican boxers of ALL TIME, and certainly one of my TOP 5 favorites…EVER! I, for one, wish him the best of luck in his retirement.Posted October 22, 2012 12:25 pm
I felt Cano won that fight…he landed the cleaner, harder and easily the more effective punches. Paulie did okay, but he knows (as well as him hometown crowd) he didn't win that fight. Especially after Cano put him on his behind and damn near did again before the bell sounded.Posted October 22, 2012 12:19 pm

While not denying it was a great ko punch, that knocked out Erik Morales, let's not get carried away with this victory, Morales, without a doubt has been, I repeat HAS BEEN, a great fighter,but, if you looked at the shape of his body on Saturday night, anybody who understands a little about boxing, could see he was NOT in good shape, from the back you could slight rolls of fat on his hips, and his stomach had no muscle definition, again, he has been a credit to boxing, I wish him a long, happy retirement, please Erik don't fight again, it's over, it happens to all athletes, as tough as it is to accept. Best of luck in the future.Posted October 22, 2012 11:58 am
Erik Morales has been a good fighter to watch. He has had some tough fights, but is he a Hall of famer? Let's see, he lost to Garcia twice, Barrera twice, Maidana once, David Diaz once, Pacquiao twice, Zahir Raheem once. He beat Barrera once, Pacquiao once and really no one else of high caliber. You can throw in Junior Jones and a few other guys that were B or C level fighters, but not much else. What do you guys think?Posted October 22, 2012 11:51 am

Garcia cannot be dinged for beating Morales ass, he simply did what he was supposed to do with an OLD man… I dinged Dawson and Calzaghe for not disposing of Hopkins in a more impressive fashion…. Morales exercised the rematch clause and he got what was coming to him, the traditional unceremoniuous ouster from the sport… He has been a terrific action fighter for years but I don't think even the most diehard fans will take him serious after that beating…Posted October 22, 2012 9:43 am
Malignaggi does not need to make excuses he had a fighter in there that was stopped by Morales, and had a shredded eye and he could not keep the guy off him… Paulie is a colorful guy and good fighter but his lack of power is an issue which has kept him on the fringes for most of his career… I have no issue with him winning the bout he was more active but the reality is that Malignaggi maxed out quite awhile ago in my mind…Posted October 22, 2012 9:40 am
Thanks for the memories? At least Morales could make a half-hearted attempt to make weight and look like he's in shape for a championship fight. I'll tell you what a "good memory" is for a retiring champ: Winky Wright. In his last fight against Peter Quillin Winky was in top condition and put on an honorable performance. He came to win that fight–not just show up. I'm glad Garcia finally closed the door on Morales' comeback. The man should have stayed retired. Then it really would be proper to say "Thanks for the memories."Posted October 22, 2012 7:45 am

WTF??? Steve Smoger was the ref for the Malignaggi/Cano fight, not a Mexican ref. But you're right, Smoger let Cano get away with too many low blows. And there were a lot of unsuccessful attempts at low blows too, as well as hitting Paulie on the back of the head.Posted October 21, 2012 10:15 pm
"He low blows Paulie a DOZEN times but the Mexican Ref never takes a point away" First off, the ref was Steve Smoger. He's not Mexican. However, you're right.

While T tumbos remarks are always laced with obvious vitriol and disdain towards fighters who are not from the south of border, amazingly, I agree that Garcia proved nothing defeating Morales, however, to Garcia's defense, it was not Garcia who wanted the fight, but Morales exercising his contract right for a rematch. I don't mind saying however, as much as these fat heads from south of the border tend to be ignorant, and that would include any tumbos and otherwise, Morales is one of the very few from that region who exude an extraordinarily rare combination of humility, skill and heart, something "new" generations lack in spades.Posted October 21, 2012 7:18 pm

Malignaggi's choice to stand and trade in the pocket is the reason Cano was able to land so many more power punches. just the same, when Malignaggi chose to box on the outside, Cano was pushing a relentless jab into his face for what should've been the official instead of unofficial win. bottomline: you land more clean punches, you land at a higher pecentage, you win the fight. that's pretty basic stuff. anyone without a bias, 20/20 vision, and a brain should be able to handle it. Cano isn't the very best welter out there but he defeated Malignaggi handily.Posted October 21, 2012 6:21 pm

Chinese Nobel winner: Politics a great challenge
STOCKHOLM This year's Nobel Literature Prize winner says his greatest challenge as a writer has been to reflect the social realities of his native China without allowing personal political opinions suppress his work.
In his much-awaited Nobel lecture in Stockholm on Friday, Guan Moye who uses the pen name Mo Yan, mostly steered clear of politics but described the constraints he has experienced when he has allowed politics to hamper his writing.
The 57-year-old novelist, the first Chinese national to win the literature award, said "heated emotions and anger allow politics to suppress literature and transform a novel into reportage of a social event."
He gave his work "The Garlic Ballads" as an example. The novel, which depicts a peasant uprising and corruption, was banned in China after the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown.
Mo, whose popular, sprawling, bawdy tales bring to life rural China, is the first Chinese winner of the literature prize who is not a critic of the authoritarian government and has been criticized for being a member of the Communist Party and vice president of the party-backed writers' association.
Mo Yan, which means "don't speak" - something he describes as "an ironic expression of self-mockery" - said that even though novelists are entitled to their opinions, they "must take a humanistic stance, and write accordingly. Only then can literature not just originate in events but transcend them, not just show concern for politics but be greater than politics."
He chose the pen name while writing his first novel to remind himself to hold his tongue and stay out of trouble.
Mo has also been accused of not defending free speech enough and refusing to appear with dissident writers at overseas literary seminars.
And he isn't the only Chinese writer to have won a Nobel prize.
Democracy campaigner Liu Xiaobo won the peace prize in 2010 for his human rights efforts but was sentenced to 11 years in prison in 2009 for co-authoring a bold call to end China's single-party rule and enact democratic reforms.
Although Mo in October said he hoped his compatriot would be freed soon, he dodged questions on the issue at a news conference in the Swedish capital on Thursday, and indicated he had no plans to join a petition signed by 134 Nobel laureates calling for Liu's release.
In the traditional Nobel lecture, he said he was upset by the controversy following the announcement that he had won this year's literature prize.
"But over time I've come to realize that the real target was a person who had nothing to do with me. Like someone watching a play in a theater," he said, noting that "for a writer, the best way to speak is by writing. You will find everything I need to say in my works. Speech is carried off by the wind; the written word can never be obliterated."
Dedicating the speech to his late mother, the literature laureate focused on describing his poor upbringing in the rural eastern Chinese village of Gaomi. He said it was the place where he learned "what real courage is," and that it taught him to understand true compassion.

Indra P NarangNo day passes without a story in the media about the customs in Mumbai and some other international airport in the country catching travellers trying to smuggle gold into the country. These passengers hide their gold in all kinds of cavities — natural or man-made — be it in their luggage, apparel or even their body at grave personal risk.
The media is also full of stories about various law enforcing agencies conducting raids on the premises of tax evading businessmen and corrupt bureaucrats. In all such raids one item that is always found along with papers of benami properties and bundles of currency notes is again gold — some as ornaments but the rest mostly in the form of biscuits or even bricks. The hunger for gold in this country seems insatiable. Once upon a time there was a politician who used to adorn himself with gold ornaments weighing a few kilograms.
We have been running a huge current account deficit (the difference between what we import and what we export) and in the recent years this deficit has been widening and becoming unsustainable. There are two commodities — oil and gold — that are largely responsible for our external trade deficit. Oil, of course, we cannot do without, since it's needed for running the engines of our economy.
But gold is a different matter altogether, as most of it finds its way in the vaults of the banks or as jewellery. In no way it contributes to the growth of our economy or welfare of our society.It is only recently that China has supplanted India as the world's biggest consumer of gold.
Historically, we have always been a great consumer of gold. In the olden days when banking services were non-existent or were unreliable and the currency used to fluctuate wildly, gold provided the means of holding on to a large amount of wealth and security.
But in those times, our country had certain products that were sought after the world over. All the great historians agree that from the birth of Christ until about 1600 AD, India accounted for almost one third of the entire world's economic output. Indian products such as cotton textiles, spices, pearls were in demand in the civilized world and we dominated the world trade. In such a scenario, we could afford to absorb a major chunk of the word's gold production without harming our economy. But with industrialization in Europe, the balance of trade shifted from Asia to Europe and from a great trading and exporting nation, we became a fringe player in international trade.
But this fall as an economic power did not lead to a reduction in our hunger for gold. That has resulted into an out-flow of precious foreign currency for the last several decades, thus weakening our economy.
Recently, in order to reduce gold import, the central government decided to levy a 10 per cent import duty. But rather than reducing consumption, this has only led to smuggling. Moreover, by taking this step, we have also created problems for our neighbouring countries such as Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bangladesh who too are complaining about gold being smuggled into their country, en route India.If we want our economy to become strong and the rupee to shine, we need to learn a lesson from the fable about King Midas and his fascination for the yellow metal.The author is a teacher and corporate trainer

Comments about The Orange Adult Mens Party Suit:
Nice looking suit. Very vibrant Orange color and sure to turn heads. The quality is surprisingly good and easy to maintain. However, the sizing can be tricky. The jacket while true to size in the shoulders and chest might be tight around the mid section. The pants allow for re-sizing if you find them too tight.

Think Services' HDI Announces 2009 Analyst of the Year
Perot Systems and TECO Energy Embody Customer and Employee-Centric Support Operations
This annual award, sponsored by Robert Half Technology, recognizes the best technical support analysts from HDI North American Local Chapters. The award highlights the excellent work of analysts on the support center's front line – those who are generally a customer's first point of contact, either via phone or the Web. Nominees are judged on criteria such as performance, quality of work, team orientation, ethics, technical aptitude, problem solving skills, and leadership.
Mr. Jiwa, a Customer Support Analyst I for WorkSafeBC, was nominated by his peers as a gifted analyst who not only has exceptional technical skills but who also possesses the patience, understanding and interpersonal skills that make a great analyst. Minaz provides first-level support for technology related problems and questions. He enjoys using his expertise to assist his teammates and customers, and to improve operational procedures.
When asked about the significance of this award, Minaz took a moment before commenting. "I tend to view the award from others' perspectives. My co-workers would say the award demonstrates that we are living up to our department's vision of being a world class help desk. My manager would say it validates the fact that she hires good analysts. My customers might say the award assures them that the help desk service is top notch. For me, winning this award reinforces the notion that I must be doing something right. I've always been confident in my abilities but this kind of recognition really takes that confidence to a whole other level. I truly do believe that in no time I'll be managing my own help desk and nominating my own analysts for this award."

: Hi,
: We just got a 9 week old JRT puppy. His name is Jerry. He is really sweet and loving, but he is very calm, does not really want to play. He just want to stay near me or my husband. he follows us everywhere and does not want to stay by himself. When I put him in his crate, he does not want to stay and he starts to shake like if he is cold or scared.
Not to worry, Jerry is a baby pup. Puppies this age are what I call 'Rocket Puppies': one minute they're up & full of energy,the next minute they're fast asleep. Like human babies, they take a lot of naps and cause havoc when they're awake. Jerry will be up & running 3-4 months from now...and you'll be remembering that sweet little sleeping puppy.
Stay with the crate training, it will be worth it to both you & Jerry in the long run.
