Bradley Wiggins for Fred Perry launches today
Thursday, 12th Jul 2012
We're excited to announce that the first pieces from the Bradley Wiggins X Fred Perry Collaboration are available online and in selected Authentic shops as of today. The launch marks the start of a 6 season collaboration with the Olympic cyclist and mod enthusiast, who also happens to be the current Tour de France leader - go Wiggo!
Wiggins is as much a perfectionist off the bike as on, and was involved in the design process of the collaboration from the very early stages. Inspired by vintage cycling jerseys of the 1960s and the heritage and style of Fred Perry, the non-technical shirts are complete with carefully considered details. The unique slim fit cotton pique shirt is finished with 'GB tape' around the neckline, retro metal zips, single zipped pocket to the rear hem and an especially designed 'stripe' around the tip of the sleeves. The jerseys are completed with Laurel Wreath embroidery to the chest and 'locker room' inspired Bradley Wiggins back neck labels. Available in 3 classic colour ways: white, sky blue and black.

Fred Perry x Bradley Wiggins - coming soon
Friday, 29th Jun 2012
One of the key things that attracted us to collaborate with Bradley Wiggins, one of Britain's greatest cyclists, is his love and appreciation of 1960s clothing and design. His sharp wit and style have won him fans on and off the tarmac. Technical skin tight fabrics in bright colours form the mainstay of a cyclist's wardrobe, however Wiggins' collection for Fred Perry characteristically references the woollen jerseys sported by the cycling legends of the 1960s.
The cycling jersey has been a mainstay of the mod wardrobe since the early 1960s. Slim fitting with a neat mock turtle neck and complete with continental allure, the merino wool tops offered a cooling alternative to the synthetic shirts widely available at the time.
In their truest form (when used in races) cycling jerseys hold great prestige, with different colour jerseys signifying a riders ranking. Perhaps the most famous and coveted jersey is the Tour de France's 'maillot jaune' (yellow jersey). The rider with the lowest overall time at the end of each stage receives the ceremonial yellow jersey and the right to start the next stage wearing the colour.
Wiggins is hotly tipped to be the first ever Brit to win the Tour de France this year, which starts tomorrow, the 30th of June.
The Fred Perry x Bradley Wiggins range launches instore and online mid July marking the start of a 6 season collaboration.
Bradley Wiggins x Fred Perry Shoot
Wednesday, 9th May 2012
Last week we took a trip to Sargent & Co bespoke cycle shop in Finsbury Park, to shoot the first pieces from our collaboration with Bradley Wiggins. The small cycle shop is a treasure trove of vintage steel frames and parts, offering a full restoration and repair service for vintage cycle enthusiasts. Bradley came fresh from winning the Tour de Romandie to model the first pieces from his non-technical cycling shirt designs.
Bradley's first collection will launch this summer, marking the start of a six season collaboration with the cyclist. All eyes will be on Bradley over the next few months, as he sets out to continue his winning streak at the Tour de France in July and the London Olympic Games a week later. We wish him the best of luck!

Rabat — Amazigh activists are urging Morocco to speed up efforts to implement Tamazight nationwide.
A year and a half after Morocco's amended constitution put Tamazight on equal footing with Arabic, no concrete steps have been taken to treat it as an official language.
Amazigh campaigners have called for the legislative process to be sped up so that this goal can be achieved.
Everyone must now work together to ensure that this language can assume its rightful place in Morocco, Mahjoubi Aherdane, the Amazigh president of the Popular Movement party and a former minister, said on November 21st during a meeting organised by the Chamber of Councillors. He pointed out that the Amazighs were Morocco's first inhabitants.
The rector of Royal Institute for Amazigh Culture (IRCAM), Ahmed Boukousa, said that the granting of official status to Amazigh by the Constitution was a historic milestone and that the government must now take the necessary steps to implement this decision.
But El Habib Choubani, the minister in charge of relations with Parliament, warned against haste. He emphasised the need for a multilateral debate so that national experts and the various stakeholders can share their points of view on the question of how to implement Tamazight's official status.
The aim is to arrive at a joint vision which will result in draft laws setting out how Tamazight will be made an official language.
The minister said the government was currently considering the legislative aspects. "The principle of wisdom must serve as a framework for the gradual implementation of Tamazight's official status," he said. Morocco still has a way to go. Tamazight is not yet being taught at all primary schools and certain difficulties have been encountered, such as a shortage of specialist teachers.
The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Lahcen Daoudi, who is himself an Amazigh, says that running language holiday camps would be a more convenient way of helping children to master the language than teaching it.
Daoudi criticised the decision to teach children a "standard language", which differs from the one spoken in homes. He has also criticised the decision to adopt Tifinagh script.
"Even I, as an Amazigh, had difficulty figuring out Tifinagh," he admitted.
The rector of IRCAM disagreed, saying that the standard language was the fruit of significant efforts to reach a compromise between the various dialects of Tamazight spoken in Morocco.
In a bid to overcome these difficulties, the education ministry has launched a study to assess the methods in which Tamazight is taught in primary schools and to identify ways of developing the teaching of the language.
The number of schoolchildren attending classes in the language doubled from 500,000 to 1 million this year, according to official figures released by the education ministry. But that is still insufficient to achieve the goal of a nationwide roll-out.

WATERLOO, Iowa The father of one of the missing cousins is facing upwards of two centuries in prison after pleading to drug charges.
Daniel Eugene Morrissey, 36, of Waterloo, had been scheduled to go to trial on Monday, but he opted to enter guilty pleas to seven meth and marijuana felonies Friday in Black Hawk County District Court.
"I'm tired of fighting ... I just want to take responsibility for what I've done," said Morrissey, who is the father of Lyric Cook-Morrissey, who disappeared in July and was found dead in December with her cousin Elizabeth Collins.
No one has been charged in their deaths.
Morrissey's drug charges stemmed from three cases and included possession of meth and marijuana with intent to deliver, conspiracy to manufacture meth, possession of meth and marijuana and possession of lithium and pseudophedrine with intent to make meth.
Sentencing will be at a later date.
At the maximum, with all of the charges running concurrent with enhancements, Morrissey faces 235 years with a 57-year mandatory minimum before he is eligible for parole.
Morrissey said the enhancements, levied because of prior convictions, were "scaring the crap" out of him.
"I feel like I'm in here for a Class A murderer," Morrissey said.
A judge could opt for a more lenient sentence, imposing 15 years behind bars with a mandatory five-year minimum. The judge could even go one step further and suspend the 15-year sentence to probation, authorities said.

If there is one thing that the ruling-EPRDF remains to argue fiercely over, it is the issue of land resources. Its long overdue belief over state ownership of the resources had put it at the one corner of the political spectrum, while all the other existing political players, standing at the other extreme, advocate for private ownership. The issue is even said to be one of the edges of the policy sphere where the Party stood against conventional populist agendas.
True, the land tenure structure of the country is not yet consistent. There is still an unclear line between state and communal ownership of grazing lands, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. But, largely, the discourse has shifted away from the old debate on tenure structure as the latter has become a matter of constitutional debate.
What seems to be the new frontier of the debate is accessibility of the resources. By virtue of the constitutional provision, which puts land under the ownership of the state and the people of the nation, the EPRDFites would like to administer it as a public good. But the demand for the resource seems to push for a different way of administration.
The case is even pressing for urban centres. A sprinting economy, which drives a large portion of its energy from a growing service sector, has progressively shifted the demand for land away from rural areas to urban centres. Serving as nerve centres for the economic system, cities have become the new hotspots of the land debate.
There is little surprising, then, about the ongoing debate on urban land administration initiated by the latest measure of clearing illegal constructions on expansion areas undertaken by the Addis Abeba City Government. It is just an extension of the long overdue debate over the models of administering land resources.
Marking the unique nature of the latest debate, however, is failure to learn from past mistakes.
Most of the houses lately demolished from the City's expansion areas have been on site for over five years. They had been supplied with basic utilities, such as electricity. It all has been so although conventional theory shows that squatters often take the provision of services as important signals of legitimisation.
Leaving squatters to grow to illegal settlements would obviously make the effort of clearing them more challenging. It is exactly what happened in the latest clearing efforts in localities, in western and northern Addis Abeba. With homes built over illegally acquired lands demolished, families are left with no option but to live under temporary shelters.
At the base of the problem lies the expanding gulf between the supply and demand for land resources, especially in urban areas. An even more growing demand is witnessed in Addis Abeba for it stays to be the hub of major economic activities.
Compared to a sprinting demand, however, inflexible supply is a major problem. And it directly relates to the way the resource is administered.
In considering land as a public good, the EPRDFites have devoid its supply of essential tradable traits. Hence, it is heavily regulated. This, certainly, has worsened the inelasticity inherent to the resource, which is considered as an important factor of production.
The factor of inelasticity is even higher for a rapidly expanding city, such as Addis Abeba, if it could not be complemented with effective and efficient management of the resource. As it stands, the City has made use of 35.7pc of its total area, which amounts to 52,700ha. The limit is within the horizon for it is left only with 33,900ha of land.
But effective and efficient management of land resources could not be realised without flexible systemic elements. And it is exactly that that Addis Abeba is missing.
An effective land resource system demands comprehensive information. It is only on the basis of such detailed resource information that thoughtful resource administration could be built on. In the absence of information, nevertheless, resource administration only gets traditional.
It has been over seven years that the City Administration embarked on an Integrated Land Resource Information Management system. Though the initiative is a move in the right direction, its lagging implementation remains to contribute to the rampant inefficiency of administering land resources. An unfolding evidence to the problem is the repeated appearance of illegal construction at the outskirts of the City.
Also part of the bigger picture is the inept relationship between the city administration and the public utility monopolies. For the two go in their separate ways, the long overdue hopes and arguments of squatters for legitimisation stay within the sphere. It would have all been avoided had the coordination between the two be scaled-up to a level where service provision is synchronised with tenure status.
Effective administration of physical resources, such as land, is also difficult without smooth interaction between local and regional governments. A widening incongruence seems to exist between the stakes of local governments and the responsibility vested on them.
Whereas the stake of monitoring and controlling the resources resides under their influence, the administration of the same stays in the hands of the regional government. This, certainly, has created a weak regulatory regime.
Putting in place a system that is integrated, both vertically and horizontally, would be important to create a resource management regime with flexible supply. Vertical integration involves the creation of a system wherein effective communication between the different tiers of the government is guaranteed. Horizontal integration, on the other hand, brings systemic cooperation between the City Administration and public utility monopolies.
Such an institutional arrangement could help establish a lean supply side. It is obvious that a lean supply side could embrace some inherent flexibility to respond to growing demand, even when the denomination is a public good.
Yet, a lean supply side could not be as flexible as possible without detailed information and monitoring. No different could the case be for the land management system of Addis Abeba.
It is all political, though. A system that looks land as a public good and an indispensable source of power would have incentives to be tapped from a lagging supply. It aims to obtain as much of a benefit as possible from the ever-appreciating value of the resource base.
Sadly, though, the consequence of the whole gamut of problems has been resource wastage, in the form of demolished assets, and displaced families. Even all the more saddening is the fact that the problems are avoidable, had an integrated land resource management system be in place.
What seems to be at stake for the EPRDFites, then, is to learn from past mistakes and institute such a system as urgently as possible.

Does it seem like everyone is making a big deal about storing food? For many, the issue may seem hardly worth addressing. After all, we live in a country known for being the "land of plenty." It is sometimes hard to imagine that one day we could find ourselves in a situation that would require us to rely upon the food we have stored in order to provide for our families.
Determining every possible reason to have food storage is an impossible task; however, one need only take a look around our volatile planet to sample some of the many disasters of our time. In the spirit of optimism, more likely reasons to store food may be the least obvious. We never know when unplanned interruptions of life may befall us such as the unexpected loss of income due to a layoff or injury.

Why Marriage Matters
You know that marriage is much bigger than what happens on the wedding day. Marriage is the foundation of society. It is our most important social institution and serves an essential public purpose — to legally attach mothers and fathers to their children and to each other.
But despite this fact, same-sex activists, and even the Obama Administration, are attacking marriage and using the courts to force their redefinition of marriage on you and everyone else.
Protecting Marriage — Defending DOMA
The government has an interest in marriage because it has an interest in children — not just to validate the personal promise or desires of consenting adults. So in 1996, Congress overwhelmingly passed the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) to protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman for the benefit of children and society.
But the Obama Administration has disregarded this law and neglected its duty to defend DOMA in court. Alliance Defending Freedom and our allies are defending marriage on your behalf.
In March, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in two crucial marriage cases. In one case, DOMA is under attack by same-sex activists. In the other case, Alliance Defending Freedom and our allies are defending Proposition 8, which is California's voter-approved constitutional amendment protecting marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
The potential impact of these two cases on the future of marriage is unprecedented. But regardless of the high court's ruling, God's design for marriage doesn't change and our commitment to defending marriage doesn't end.
How You Can Make an Impact for Marriage
Here are three specific ways you can make a huge impact in the battle for marriage:
- Pray: Download this prayer sheet and use it as a guide to help you and your church pray for marriage.
- Share: Share the video with your friends and family to help them understand the importance of protecting marriage in America.
- Give: The battle to protect marriage will be long and costly. Please give your best gift to defend God's design for marriage in our nation.

Re: Anybody switch from double to single?
As to the OP question way back there....
I just stopped feeling like I wanted it. I had 2 bass drums for about 8 or 9 years (single before that), then a Camco double back in 90. Used it for some years and then just didn't want to anymore.
I didn't do the extended "dugga dugga dugga"or speedy stuff in my bands. I used it more like Ginger Baker, and how Carmine used it on some of his stuff. I was into Tommy Aldridge too.
My tastes in playing changed, along with what the bands songs needed--which was whatever I wanted to play that fit haha! the stuff they started doing just didn't need anything I couldn't do with one foot.
I've toyed with the idea of using one again, but, I just don't feel it.
I can do a lot with my one foot anyway, and it sounds cooler to me that way, or between a tom and the bas drum for that kind of pattern.
I also like not
having to
use one for doing something that sounds"cool" in the drummy sort of way. I've worked on my foot, and like what I've achieved, and it feels right for me to just have a single pedal.

Please vote if you didn't do it early; consider these endorsements
CORPUS CHRISTI - Today, eligible voters who didn't cast ballots during the early voting period have the opportunity to choose a president, school trustees, a justice of the peace and whether to increase their taxes to pay for improvements or necessities in their community — to name only a few.
Today's ballot is long and, in places, complicated. Even we, the Caller-Times Editorial Board left several sections of it blank in our nevertheless-long list of endorsements — starting with the contest at the top. Many readers, understandably, wonder why. And, we assure them, we as individuals didn't (or won't) leave that one, or several unendorsed down-ballot races, blank in exercising our own civic duties.
In answer: We confined our endorsements to the contests and issues monitored regularly and thoroughly by the Caller-Times reporting staff, specific to our region, in which the absence of our insight would leave an insight vacuum because few if any others are keeping watch and informing the populace.
Regarding the presidential race (and in merciless torture of an old family newspaper-inappropriate saying), our opinion is like those of our readers — everybody has one. In that race, unlike the race for Corpus Christi mayor, we can't claim an added depth of knowledge or insight that the average reader doesn't also possess. (The Limbaughs and Maddows, likewise, haven't weighed in on Corpus Christi's $89.7 million bond election.)
That doesn't entirely explain our forgoing endorsements in the statewide races for U.S. Senate, Railroad Commission, Texas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals — or, here at home, the Del Mar College Board of Regents. We have our regrets. We are a limited resource — as many a clever reader would be hasty to agree.
Apologies having been said, once again we offer the following list of recommendations, as always not with the insistence that voters follow them, only with the request that they at least consider them while voting their consciences:
U.S. House District 27: Republican incumbent Blake Farenthold
Texas Senate District 20: Democratic incumbent Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa
Texas House District 34: Democrat Abel Herrero

N.C. disaster planners looking for medical, non-medical volunteers
RALEIGH – Hurricane season has begun, and North Carolina's emergency medical services are looking for medical and non-medical volunteers to draw from in the event of a disaster.
Any North Carolina resident who is willing to volunteer to be deployed locally, regionally, statewide, and/or federally in the event of a disaster is encouraged to register through an Internet-based registry called SERVNC, announced Tuesday by the N.C. Office of Emergency Medical Services.
"It is important for us to have a base of volunteers to draw
from in the event of a disaster," said Drexdal Pratt, chief of
OEMS. "Through SERVNC we will be able to track mission requests
during a disaster, and create a roster of volunteers whose skills meet
those identified as needed to respond. It will help us to mobilize
needed manpower on short notice."
In the event of an emergency the system will electronically check the volunteers' medical credentials, send a message to the volunteers via e-mail, telephone and/or pager, and provide notification of all mission specific information and instructions for accepting or declining the mission.
"We're anticipating a strong response," Pratt said. "We
live in a state where hurricanes can affect the mountains and the coast,
and where tornadoes have torn through communities. This registry will
provide the backup our first responders will need in the event of a
disaster or emergency."

In a ceremony celebrating the government's commitment to transparency and accountability, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is expected today (January 23) to officially inaugurate an electronic billboard, located at the Ministry of Finance, to display an updated profile of Liberia's public finances in a manner that the ordinary man and woman on the street will understand.
The US Government, via the USAID-funded Governance and Economic Management Support (USAID-GEMS) project, provided funding and technical assistance for the billboard, while the African Development Bank, through support to the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), is also providing support to capacity needs of the effort.
The billboard is one way in which the Ministry will be implementing its Open Budget Initiative. The Government began taking steps over the last few years towards a more open budget. The 2012/13 approved budget is publically available on-line and town hall meetings were held to explain the budget and gain feedback. Explanatory materials on the budget including the Citizens' Guide to the budget have also been developed for the public.
To further improve transparency, the Minister of Finance worked with the USAID-GEMS project to provide an electronic billboard facing the street in front of the Ministry of Finance - served by dynamic information systems linked into the MOF financial data - that would allow the Ministry to describe and track the budget, and its execution. The Ministry of Finance has also produced a citizen guide to the FY 2012/13 budget with support from the African Development Bank.
The target audience for the OBI electronic billboard is the ordinary man and woman on the street - the person who is not necessarily serviced by the internet or newspaper. The Ministry of Finance and USAID-GEMS team designed the content and layout of the billboard display specifically for this audience.
The electronic billboard will serve as a powerful symbol to demonstrate the Ministry's emphasis on transparency in conducting its affairs. The Ministry hopes that it will eventually assist in holding line ministries, county governments and other funded entities to account.
The Ministry of Finance expects that benefits to Liberians that will come from the Open Budget Initiative include seeing the financial commitments of the government and how taxes and grant monies are being spent, understanding where budget money is allocated (e.g. by ministry, county, sector), tracking revenue flows, visualizing government projects and tracking their actual implementation against plans, seeing how Liberia is faring over time, compared to other West African and African countries, in developmental and demographic indices, and giving feedback to government on these issues.
Liberia signed to the international Open Government Partnership in November 2011, which commits it to increasing the availability of information about governmental activities, supporting civic participation, establishing the highest standards of professional integrity throughout Government, and increasing access to new technologies for openness and accountability.
USAID-GEMS is a five-year technical assistance project to support the Government of Liberia's own initiatives to improve performance through human and institutional capacity building within government ministries, agencies, and commissions.
The African Development Bank's Fragile State Facility is geared towards support service delivery in African states such as Liberia. Countries that have emerged from conflict to rapidly transform their efficiency, outputs in Public Financial management.
In a related development, President Sirleaf will also today launch the Liberia Development Alliance (LDA), intended to coordinate the implementation of the national development plan; The Agenda for Transformation.
The LDA is organized to maximize the participation of key stakeholders; Government of Liberia, Development Partners, Private Sector actors and Civil Society organizations to ensure the successful implementation of the Agenda for Transformation.
According to a Press Release issued by the Ministry of Finance Media Services Division, the LDA structure will consist of a Steering Committee chaired by the President and comprising of representatives of the Government of Liberia, Development Partners, Private Sector and Civil Society. The LDA Steering Committee will provide overall policy direction to ensure that the AfT delivers the expected transformational development to the Liberian people.
The LDA steering committee will be supported by a LDA Secretariat at the Ministry of Finance. The secretariat will be responsible for the day to day operations, working to coordinate the five pillars of the AfT to ensure successful implementation.
The establishment of the LDA is expected to provide the policy space and support that the private sector and civil society need to play their important role in the nation's development efforts.
In addition to the very critical role that Liberia's Development Partners have played and will continue to play in Liberia's development, the LDA will provide a better platform for a more robust engagement with the private sector to expand the economy and create jobs. The private sector will receive the support to be the engine of growth in the economy.
The LDA will find pragmatic and inclusive ways of implementing the AfT in order to expand the national economic pie by promoting the birth and growth of private enterprise - small and large, rural and urban - that would make the business ecosystem more diverse and productive; maximize the creation of good, productive, sustainable jobs for as many Liberians as possible.
The actions of the LDA should lead to the development of a new middle class, new suppliers and service providers, improved infrastructure, security and enriched livelihoods for a vast majority of the Liberian people; and to ensure that the LDA remains focused on those goals, the organization will pursue its mission of "putting Liberians in charge of the growth and development of the economy" in a deliberate and purposeful way.

The spirit behind the Vivida line of skincare products is to mask or ameliorate some of the cosmetic symptoms of aging, such as creases, lines, uneven tone, and sagging skin. These advanced treatments tackle such realities internally, supplying your skin with much-needed nutrients and revitalizing your complexion in a targeted manner.
One topnotch source for information on the brand—beyond all the details we've compiled on the line in general and the individual products—is the Vivida Reviews, where you'll access the voices of actual customers who've tried out the treatments. The Vivida Reviews are layered with perspective: Anecdotes about using a product and experiencing some of these aging issues are rich in meaning, and can even supply answers to questions you hadn't yet thought to ask.
We strongly encourage you to read through the Vivida Reviews and use them in your selection process. We know you'll be applying the same acute scrutiny to the Vivida products while shopping that the company uses to formulate them, and these evaluations provide that much more fodder for thought as you do so.
We've got all sorts of information on the Vivida line in the SkinStore.com web pages, from comprehensive ingredient lists to detailed instructions on use. These will surely provide a strong foundation as you research the anti-aging skin nutrition tablets the brand offers, but don't forget to also spend a little time with the Vivida Reviews.
We've designed the Vivida Reviews to be easy to find, easy to understand, and easy to compose. That's the best way to make this resource as available and effective as possible. You'll find the Vivida Reviews by following the relevant links from the brand's main SkinStore.com profile or the individual product pages. Once there, you'll be able to sift through the evaluations by rating or by date, and then plow into the information. You'll find starred ratings on particular aspects of the customer's experience (overall satisfaction, price/value, and ease-of-use of the product), listed pros and cons, and—at the heart of the review—a detailed description of the reviewer's dealings with and opinions on the item. There's a lot to be gleaned from these simple and straightforward components—not least the unique opportunity to hear directly from folks just like you who've had the opportunity to try out a product you're considering purchasing.
If you end up intrigued enough to try out the Vivida experience—if you want to explore this innovative approach to skin nourishment and vivification—perhaps you'll be motivated enough, after using the product, to craft your own review. The Vivida Reviews are always growing with the addition of new voices and new reflections, so roll up your sleeves and start typing—you'll be helping us and your fellow consumers!

Topix Slumps Most in Seven Weeks as Yen Extends Gains
May 7 (Bloomberg) -- Japanese stocks fell, with the Topix index capping the steepest slump in more than seven weeks, as the yen extended gains against the dollar and the market reopened following a two-day holiday.
Honda Motor Co., a carmaker that gets 46 percent of its revenue in North America, lost 2.9 percent. SoftBank Corp., the biggest investor in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., slumped 5.1 percent after BGC Partners said the stock had already priced in much of the good news from the Chinese e-commerce company's initial public offering. Foster Electric Co., a maker of electric products, plunged 13 percent after its profit forecast missed estimates.
The Topix lost 2.6 percent to 1,152.01 as the close in Tokyo, the biggest drop since March 14, as all 33 industry groups slid. The Nikkei 225 Stock Average fell 2.9 percent to 14,033.45. The yen reached the strongest level since April 14 against the dollar. The U.S. threatened more sanctions against Russia as that country called on Ukraine to postpone its May 25 presidential vote amid violence.
"The market is being sold due to the Ukraine situation that has helped to strengthen the yen," said Masaru Hamasaki, a Tokyo-based senior strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Co. "There won't be a clear solution in the near term. The market is nervous about day-to-day developments over there."
U.S. Futures
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 0.1 percent today. The equity measure slumped 0.9 percent yesterday as Twitter Inc. led a selloff in Internet shares while American International Group Inc. dragged down financial companies.
Japan's Topix fell 12 percent this year, the most among major developed markets tracked by Bloomberg, as investors weighed whether Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the central bank will succeed in fostering a sustained economic recovery.
Most members of the Bank of Japan agreed to keep easing monetary policy until inflation stabilizes at 2 percent, according to minutes of central bank's April policy meeting released today.
Exporters fell, with Honda losing 2.9 percent to 3,371 yen. Panasonic Corp., which gets 15 percent of its revenue in the Americas, dropped 3.4 percent to 1,080 yen.
SoftBank tumbled 5.1 percent to 7,420 yen and Yahoo Japan Corp., another shareholder of Alibaba, declined 3.6 percent to 451 yen. Alibaba filed yesterday for what could become the largest U.S. initial public offering ever.
SoftBank, Yahoo
"We strongly believe that much of the good news in regards to the Alibaba IPO has been baked well into SoftBank's share price," Amir Anvarzadeh, a manager of Japanese equity sales at BGC Partners in Singapore, said in an e-mail. "Moreover, we also expect U.S. investors to divest from SoftBank and Yahoo as most will want direct exposure to Alibaba without the telecom businesses, which are facing pricing pressure."
About 540 companies on the Topix are scheduled to report earnings this week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Of the companies on the Topix that have posted quarterly results since April 1 and for which Bloomberg had estimates, 60 percent beat earnings expectations.
Foster Electric slumped 13 percent to 1,204 yen, the biggest loss since March 2011, after saying full-year net income will be 2.5 billion yen ($25 million), compared with the 4.53 billion yen estimated by analysts.
Paper companies fell the most among the Topix industry groups. Tomoegawa Co. plummeted 6.2 percent to 183 yen and Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co. lost 5.1 percent to 469 yen.
The Topix traded at 1.13 times book value today, compared with 2.61 for the S&P 500 and 1.88 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index yesterday. Trading volume on the Topix was 3.4 percent above the 30-day average.

Editor's NoteDirector Chris Columbus recreates the magic of the second book from author J.K. Rowling's best-selling series about a young wizard, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe). In this sequel, Harry and his friends Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the new school year only to be met with a terrifying mystery. An unknown creature, one that supposedly lives in the legendary Chamber of Secrets hidden at Hogwarts, is attacking students in the school, leaving them literally petrified and as cold as stone. Even the professors seem at a loss for how to solve the chilling mystery, leaving it up to Harry and his friends to save the day. Rowling's story translates well to the big screen, with a magical flying car, a giant spider, a house elf named Dobby, and assorted other creatures making their film debuts. Radcliffe continues to charm as the wide-eyed young Potter, and Grint shines as his best friend and sidekick. Kenneth Branagh joins the all-star cast as the preening megalomaniac author and professor, Gilderoy Lockhart. HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS also stars the late Richard Harris, majestic Maggie Smith, and an under-used Alan Rickman.

When you think about Christmas, you think about Santa, and presents under the tree, and stockings hung with care, and… Shrek?
Well, this year you just might:
ABC Entertainment adds "Shrek The Halls," an original animated special from DreamWorks Animation SKG, to its impressive library of holiday classics, it was announced today by Stephen McPherson, president, ABC Entertainment and Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation SKG. The half-hour soon-to-be Christmas favorite will premiere in December 2007.
"Family classics are a cornerstone of our brand, and 'Shrek The Halls' will provide warm memories year-after-year, and be a great addition to our library of holiday favorites such as 'Santa Claus is Comin' to Town' and 'A Charlie Brown Christmas,'" said McPherson.
Added Katzenberg, "The time has come to celebrate the joys of the holiday season with Shrek and his family, and see how Christmas would play out in his world. 'Shrek the Halls' follows a natural storytelling path for us, and we're so happy to be partnered with ABC in expanding the world of Shrek into the television arena."
Listen, I love Shrek as much as the next mom, which is to say that I was all set to disapprove of the crude humor and loved both movies in spite of myself (and in spite of all the fart jokes). And I'm guessing that a Shrek Christmas show will be clever and funny and all of that. But to compare it to 'A Charlie Brown Christmas?'" Let's not get carried away.
Let's just wait and see, I feel the need to primly admonish, even as I tuck the kids into bed and then pull out our "Shrek" DVD to watch without them. Not that I've ever done that. You can't prove anything.
"Shrek the Halls" will air on an as yet unspecified date in December. In the meantime, "Shrek 2″ will make its world television premiere on Sunday, November 24 at 8:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on ABC. Just to put you in a Shrek-y holiday mood.
I guess I do sort of wonder what Christmas is like in the swamp. Who do you suppose has a more pitiful Christmas tree: Donkey or Charlie Brown? I guess I'll have to tune in to find out.

Finally, some great news on pensions from the Government...
Hey guys,
New rules on pensions will apply from April 2011 allowing pension investors to take advantage of income drawdown and pass on unused pension savings to their heirs - rather than losing it to the insurance companies, which is the norm at the moment.
With income drawdown your pension fund remains invested and after taking any tax free cash you require up to a maximum of 25% of the fund value (from age 55), you may be able to draw an income from it thereafter.
This is great news if you have a personal pension or a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP). It's your pension, so find out now what it can do for you or if the new rules applies to you. Is your pension really working hard enough for you?
Are you interested in long term profits, passive income of £500-£1000 each month — and complete financial freedom from investing in UK properties?
Sign up for my brand new, free online property course to learn the proven way to use property as a vehicle to achieve financial freedom as the recession eases and confidence grows.

You'll learn all this and more in just the first 3 weeks of this course:
Join our newsletter list for FREE today and you'll receive as a bonus a complimentary PDF copy of Brett Alegre-Wood's best-selling book The 3+1 Plan!
You'll learn the safest time-proven strategies that will guide you and grow your portfolio during any economic boom, bust, recession or downturn.

The latest scandal on Capitol Hill involves Democratic New York Congressman Anthony Weiner.
The jokes are flying fast because his last name is a pun that fits the controversy.
A lewd photo was sent from his Twitter account to a young co-ed (who looks way too much like Snooki.)
Weiner denies that the photo is of him.
The media is all over this story like, well, mustard on a wiener.
Every news organization wanted to get out in front of the story because they didn't want to play catch-up.
Weiner, who can be played in a movie about himself by Eddie Deezen (you have to Google that name to see what he looks like, then compare it to the Congressman), has been raked over the charcoals.
Before this news cycle ends, Fox News will relish every moment. So will the party Fox controls —- the Republicans, who want to dine on this media feeding frenzy. It takes everybody's mind off the fact that the GOP is trying to kill Medicare as we know it.
You don't think for a moment that those weasels who exposed ACORN and then tried to bug Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu's office are behind this, do you?
Weiner is certainly in a pickle. And how dare he — this hot dog grabbed the spotlight from two of the country's biggest hams of media attention who met for pizza in NYC Tuesday night.
The Narcissistic Twins, Sarah Pallin and Donald Trump, hogged the spotlight once again by drawing attention to themselves.
Princess Photo-Op and the Buffoon Tycoon met while she was on her Long and Whining Road bus trip back East to bless real Americans. Apparently all is forgiven between the Twins: The Donald stole Mama Grizzly's thunder there for awhile when it was his turn to lead the media by its nose. And Palin had to make a comeback of sorts. She's been off her game for a few months with her debacle after the Tucson rampage where ol' "blood libel" made it all about herself.
Now she's back on a bus tour that's all about herself.
And once again the media is her lap dog. But then the media has always been attracted to Palin, even though there is never any there, there.
Palin did visit Gettysburg and wanted to look up the address of the house where Lincoln spent his summer vacations.
When someone asked her what were the first lines to the Gettysburg Address, Palin thought for a while and then answered, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…"
Then when she toured Ellis Island she was befuddled to learn that it was where millions of immigrants came to when they first got to America. Palin wondered why Mexicans took the long way around to sneak into the country.
Of course none of this is true.
What is true is that she is on a bus tour back East. And she just so happened to be in New Hampshire on Thursday, when Mitt Romney officially announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for president in 2012.
Of course Palin, acting all innocent about it, overshadowed the Mittster's big day in the sun.
There are no coincidences as far as Palin is concerned. Everything is staged.
And it's appropriate that she's traveling by bus, because she just threw Romney under one.
You want some mustard on that hot dog, Sarah?

Best time to buy marked-down food
I always keep an eye out for discounted meats and other food at my local Grocers. I seem to find it somewhat consistently on Monday's and I'm crossing my fingers that there will be some Lamb today since Easter/Passover is passed. I find "fresh cut" herbs all the time marked for .50 and snap them up unless I just don't need what is discounted (I dehydrate most of it and add it to my spice stockpile if it isn't used immediately). I kept an eye out for corned beef after St. Patricks with no luck. Have you found a reliable pattern at your local store? What percentage can you save? Or are you like my wife and see it as a dubious purchase at times, since it's close to going bad.

The CloudOn team may license Microsoft's Office tools, but they aren't worried about new competition. PRodigy
The UpTake: Microsoft Office is finally on the iPhone, which could be bad news for those licensing the productivity tools. But one startup founder says he's not too impressed with the new product.
In the absence of a fully fleshed out Microsoft Office app, a small ecosystem of substitutes has accumulated millions of users with similar products. One startup, Cloudon licensed the actual office tools from Microsoft making their suite of tools as close to the real deal as was possible, until today.
Even with Microsoft's announcement that it has upgraded its own app, CloudOn's founder, Milind Gadekar doesn't seem very worried at all.
"There was that initial Wow! but now I'm glad it's released," said Gadekar, in an interview with Upstart Business Journal this afternoon. "People have often asked us what happens when Microsoft releases their own apps. Instead of having to deal with an unknown, we now deal with a known."
The founder of the Palo Alto, California-based company told us he views his professional relationship with Microsoft more as a partnership than a competition, even as he threw a couple jabs at the new Microsoft tools.
"The reason we found success is because we provide full fidelity of documents," he said. Meaning that a document on a desktop using an original Microsoft Office tool looks exactly the same on a mobile device using CloudOn, according to the founder. Whereas, Microsoft's own version of Word for Apple's iOS doesn't track changes or show shapes, based on the founders' initial test of the product.
"And we're not going to force people to use given storage providers, whereas in their app, you have to use SkyDrive or SharePoint," he said. As opposed to his tools, which let users store on DropBox, Box, Google Drive, and SkyDrive, with more to come, he said.

Lеt's first assume two things. Number one, freelancers аrе, fοr thе mοѕt раrt, hοnеѕt, straightforward people. Number two, clients, аrе аlѕο mostly hοnеѕt, straightforward people. Hοwеνеr, everyone hаѕ hаd a bаd experience аt ѕοmе point іn thеіr career. Thе designer wasn't paid fοr work οr thе client didn't receive a completed work product fοr whісh hе/ѕhе already paid. Tο prevent another mishap whеn hiring a freelancer, consider thеѕе tips.
1. Dο Yουr Homework
Look аt thеіr portfolio, read feedback аnd check references. Yes, уου actually hаνе tο work аt іt a lіttlе. It's whаt people dο whеn thеу саn nο longer act οn blind faith. Dο nοt bе surprised, hοwеνеr, іf thеу аrе јυѕt аѕ hesitant аbουt уου designers gеt burned јυѕt аѕ οftеn аѕ clients dο (аnd perhaps even more οftеn). If уου read οr see something thаt уου аrе uncomfortable wіth, аѕk qυеѕtіοnѕ. If уου аrе still unsure аftеr hearing thе аnѕwеrѕ, walk away.
2. Keep thе Lines οf Communication Open
Open communication іѕ another key tο avoiding mistakes thе first time around. Bе clear οn whаt format уου need thе work returned tο уου іn up front. Consider сrеаtіng a short creative brief tο ensure уου аrе οn thе same page. Aѕk іf thеу аrе familiar wіth thе format thаt уου need. Thе goal іѕ tο pay fοr freelance graphic design services whіlе avoiding having tο re-format thе whole thing yourself.
3. Understand thе Designers Strengths
Hiring аn expert іn print work mау nοt bе thе best dесіѕіοn whеn уου need someone tο design a website. If a designer іѕ looking tο branch out οr feels thеу аrе well-rounded, fine. Hοwеνеr, уου ѕhουld bе aware οf аnу discrepancies, еіthеr technical οr stylistic, up front.
4. Aѕk Qυеѕtіοnѕ!
Focus οn уουr expectations, communicate clearly аnd set up a payment arrangement thаt іѕ beneficial tο both parties, lіkе аn escrow account.
Following thеѕе simple steps ѕhουld сrеаtе a mutually beneficial relationship between thе client аnd thе freelance graphic designer.
Don't go into a relationship without knowing what you may need down the road. Ask the designer what file format you will receive for your print project. Most designers only supply a press-ready PDF unless the client specifies that they want all native files and is included in the prices of the project (it would be like going to a gourmet restaurant and asking the chef for a copy of his recipe free of charge). For instance, what happens if you need a photo used in a brochure for a PowerPoint presentation? Unless you have asked and paid for the native files of the brochure, you're probably not going to get that photo without an additional charge.

Advocates of this hypothesis are known as "preadamites", as are the human-like creatures believed by them to have existed before Adam.
The most serious early challenge to biblical Adamism came from the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate who, on his rejection of Christianity and conversion to Theurgy, a late form of Neoplatonism, accepted the idea that many pairs of original people had been created, a belief termed co-Adamism or multiple-Adamism.
St Augustine's book The City of God contains two chapters indicating a debate between Christians and pagans over human origins: Book XII, chapter 10 is called "Of the falseness of the history that the world hath continued many thousand years", while that of book XVIII, chapter 40 is "The Egyptians' abominable lyings, to claim their wisdom the age of 100,000 years". As the titles indicate, Augustine clearly believed pagan ideas concerning the history and chronology of the world and the human race to be completely absurd and incompatible with the revealed truth that man's existence on the earth was not yet six thousand years old. Augustine's position on this matter was supported by most rabbis and the church fathers, who generally dismissed views on the antiquity of the world as myths and fables not requiring any considered refutation.
The presence of belief in men before Adam amongst the Familists, a religious community in Friesland, was noted by John Rogers in 1578.
In 1591 Giordano Bruno argued that because no one could imagine that the Jews and the Ethiopians had the same ancestry that God must have either created separate Adams or that Africans were the descendants of pre-Adamite races.
The claims in Nabatean Agriculture mentioned above were also discussed by Maimonides in his Guide for the Perplexed through which they became known to the seventeenth century French Millenarian Isaac La Peyrère who, because of his influence on subsequent thinkers and movements, is usually attributed with formulating Pre-Adamite theory. In his Prae-Adamitae, published in Latin in 1655 La Peyrère argued that Paul's words in Chapter 5, verses 12-14 of his Epistle to the Romans should be interpreted such that "if Adam sinned in a morally meaningful sense there must have been an Adamic law according to which he sinned. If law began with Adam, there must have been a lawless world before Adam, containing people". Thus, according to La Peyrère there must have been two creations: first the creation of the Gentiles and then that of Adam, who was father of the Jews. The existence of pre-Adamites, La Peyrère argued, explained Cain's life after Abel's murder which, in the Genesis account, involved the taking of a wife and the building of a city. This account of human origins became the basis for 19th century theories of polygenism and modern racism.
Some date the origins of racial theory precisely to 24 April, 1684 when François Bernier distinguished four or five races (with no hierarchichal distinction between them) in an article ('A new division of the Earth, according to the different species or races of men who inhabit it') published in the Journal des sçavans. Because of widespread theological opposition to the pre-Adamite theories of his friend, La Peyrère, Bernier published his paper anonymously.
In 1843 Samuel A. Cartwright (see Drapetomania), a Louisiana physician and proslavery writer, published a book called Essays, Being Inductions Drawn from the Baconian Philosophy "to show how the anatomical evidence of Negro inferiority could be correlated with the Biblical description of 'the curse of Canaan' – God's condemnation of Canaan and his allegedly black descendants to be 'servants unto servants'. Science and religion came together perfectly, Cartwright concluded, to make a case for the servile inferiority of the blacks". Cartwright later came to endorse the idea of separate origins and believed that the Negroes and Indians had been created before Adam and Eve and were among the "living creatures" over which Adam had been given dominion. Curiously, Cartwright also claimed that the serpent or "Nachash" was actually a "negro gardener", based on his contention that the Hebrew word meant not only snake but also "to be or to become black".
Following the American Civil War Southerners were increasingly receptive to arguments supportive of black inferiority. In 1867 Buckner H Payne wrote a pamphlet under the pen name Ariel entitled The Negro: What is His Ethnological Status?, in which he argued that the Negro is a pre-Adamic beast of the field (specifically, a higher order of monkey) which was preserved on the Ark. In 1891 William Campbell under the pen name "Caucasian" wrote in Anthropology for the People: A Refutation of the Theory of the Adamic Origin of All Races that the nonwhite peoples were not descendants of Adam and therefore "not brothers in any proper sense of the term, but inferior creations" and that polygenism was the "only theory reconcilable with scripture". Following Payne, Campbell viewed the great flood as a consequence of intermarriage between the white (Adamic) and nonwhite (pre-Adamic) peoples "the only union we can think of that is reasonable and sufficient to account for the corruption of the world and the consequent judgement".
In an unusual blend of contemporary evolutionary thinking and pre-Adamism the Vanderbilt University theistic evolutionist and geologist Alexander Winchell argued in his 1878 tract Adamites and Preadamites for the pre-Adamic origins of the human race on the basis that the Negroes were too racially inferior to have developed from the Biblical Adam. Winchell also believed that the laws of evolution operated according to the will of God.
The Irish lawyer Dominick McCausland, a Biblical literalist and anti-Darwinian polemicist, maintained the theory as a means of upholding the Mosaic timescale. He held that the Chinese were descended from Cain, and that the "Caucasian" race would eventually exterminate all others. He maintained that only the "Caucasian" descendants of Adam were capable of creating civilisation, and tried to explain away the numerous non-"Caucasian" civilisations by attributing them all to a vanished "Caucasian", race, the Hamites.
The ideologies of British Israelism, which developed in England in the nineteenth century, also sometimes involved a pre-Adamic worldview, though this was a minority position. According to this model the pre-Adamites were viewed as a race of inferior bestial creatures apart from Adam, who was the first white man and son of God. In this narrative Satan seduces Eve and the resulting offspring is a hybrid creature called Cain. Later Cain flees to East Turkestan to establish a colony of followers intent on realizing the Devil's plan for domination of the earth. Further elaboration of this myth involved the identification of the Jews with Canaanites, the putative descendants of Cain (although the eponymous ancestor of Canaanites is not Cain but Canaan). It followed that, if the tribes of Judah were supposed to have intermarried with Cain's descendants, then the Jews were the offspring of Satan as well as sundry nonwhite pre-Adamic races.
In the United States British Israelism developed into the aggressively anti-Semitic Christian Identity movement in which the Jews were increasingly seen as outside the domain of humanity. However, most proponents of Christian Identity do not embrace pre-Adamite claims.

Earlier today, 9to5Mac picked up on an article originally posted by Mashable, detailing Apple's supposed "investment" in Facebook. Recently, Steve Jobs and Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, met for dinner to discuss Apple's "Ping" feature, which debuted in iTunes 10. Facebook integration within Ping (among other products) was certainly an aspect of the investment rumor:
Leading the potential round will be Digital Sky Technologies (an existing investor) and Apple. Yes, Apple. The funding is part of a partnership between the two companies that will eventually result in deep Facebook integration into Apple's suite of products, including Ping, iTunes, iLife and iWork.
However, we can confirm now that this rumor was indeed false. Larry Yu, Facebook's Director of Corporate Communications, turned to Twitter to confirm the truth. He posted:
@Scobleizer — hi. there's no truth to the rumored "series e" financing round that Mashable wrote about. trying to get them to clarify.
So, that's that. Apple isn't going to be investing in Facebook any time soon. And, as Zuckerberg's social network is partly owned by Microsoft (5%), it's unlikely that Steve's going to buy into the 'book ever, let alone in the near future. As always, we'll keep you posted. And, thanks to TNW.
