Hungary will pay Russia only for the natural gas it consumes, a cheaper alternative to a 20-year supply contract between the nations that expires this year.
Shares of Russian gas producer Gazprom (OGZPY) is off by 3.5% in U.S. trading today, and oil producer Rosneft (ROSN. Russia) is down about 4% as oil prices tumble. Other Russia stocks are lower, including Sberbank (SBRCY), down 5%. The Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) is down 2% today, while the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Eastern Europe ETF (ESR) is down 1.7%.
Details of the agreement were in final stages after Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Kremlin-friendly Hungarian parliament earlier this week. Russia supplies 70% of Hungary's gas, The Wall Street Journal reports.
U.S. and European sanctions against Russia — over its absorbtion of Crimea and violence in Ukraine — are hurting Russian finances. But the Hungary deal underscores Europe's reliance on natural gas from Russia, and its inability to influence the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.
WSJ reports leaders of France, Germany, Ukraine and Russia agreed Thursday to impose the cease-fire in eastern Ukraine. Despite the cease-fire imposed Sunday, Kiev was forced to give up a strategic rail hub to Russia-backed rebels this week. Russia's UN ambassador denounced Ukraine's call for UN peacekeepers, the BBC reports.
Brazil: U.S.-listed shares of Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR), also known as Petrobras, recovered from premarket declines, rising 1.49% as of 10:12 a.m. ET after the opening bell. The state-run oil producer announced late Thursday an increase in fuel prices that was less than investors expected, which hurt the stock in pre-market trading. Reuters, meanwhile, reports that Petrobras will report third-quarter earnings on Nov. 14, citing an unnamed source.
In other news, Brazil's inflation slowed more than forecast by analysts, raising the odds that consumer price increases will return to the target range by year end. Meanwhile, Finance Minister Guido Mantega said Friday the government is working on a plan to reduce public spending that will include, among other things, reducing subsidies to loans made by the country's development bank.
The Ibovespa was up 0.71% to 53,012.70. The iShares MSCI Brazil Capped ETF (EWZ) rose 1.3% to $40.92.
Nigeria: Shares in Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer, fell for a 12th day as Brent crude prices continued to fall. Meanwhile, the African country's central bank intervened to support its currency on Friday after a big slide.
Russia: The ruble rebounded from a record low amid speculation Russia's central bank will defend the currency.
South Africa: The nation's credit rating may be cut to just above junk by Fitch Ratings next month after Moody's Investors Service lowered it yesterday, risking higher borrowing costs, Nomura International.
India: Larsen & Toubro Ltd. (EQLT.IN), India's biggest engineering company, Friday reported a 6.7% increase in consolidated net profit for the fiscal-second quarter thanks to strong growth in orders.
Hungary: U.S. agricultural and food giant Bunge (BG) has been accused of value-added-tax fraud at its Hungarian operations. That investigation comes just a few weeks after the U.S. banned several Hungarians, including Ildiko Vida, the head of the tax authority, from visiting the U.S. because of corruption allegations. Local press has in recent days alleged that the Hungarians were banned after they had tried to bribe executives at Bunge's local subsidiary, to provide financial support for an undisclosed foundation. Bunge has denied any involvement in either the corruption case or the VAT fraud.
Mexico: Private economists surveyed by the Bank of Mexico cut their expectations for the country's economic growth this year and 2015, citing weakness in the domestic market and security issues as hurdles to greater expansion.
The National Bank of Hungary said Wednesday that it will provide foreign currency from its reserves to settle unfair bank charges on foreign exchange loans.
The Hungarian supreme court ruled that certain FX loan fees were unfair, and borrower relief legislation passed over the summer was discussed Wednesday. A bill proposes that banks return unfair charges on FX loans to most clients by the end of February 2015.
The Budapest Business Journal explains:
"The borrower relief legislation approved in the summer requires refunds to borrowers, expected to total about Hungarian forint (HUF) 1 trillion, from banks – for using exchange rate margins when calculating repayments on FX loans and for making unilateral changes to loan contracts. Under the government's plans, once the refunds are settled, all retail FX loans would be phased out of the Hungarian market and converted into forints. [On Wednesday,] the central bank announced that it would allocate €3 billion of the bank's FX reserves to cover demand related to the settlement of the refunds."
Otilia Dhand at Teneo Intelligence writes:
"The measures will likely cost banks the equivalent of EUR 3.2 billion. Monthly repayments for FX borrowers will drop by 25-30%. For clients who have fallen behind with repayments but their contracts have not been terminated yet, the fees will be settled against the missed repayments. As a result, the level of non-performing loans will likely drop temporarily. … The draft legislation also sets a moratorium on interest rate hikes until April 2016. By this time, the government expects to enact legislation on fair and transparent loans pricing and to phase out household FX loans. "
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Eastern Europe ETF (ESR), which is up nearly a point today, has declined by more than 13% this year. The SPDR S&P Emerging Europe ETF (GUR), which rallied 0.73% Wednesday, is down nearly 10% this year. Top holdings are dominated by Russia stocks in each fund.
In emerging markets, a massive selloff fueled by developed-world policy pronouncements — a la 2013 — is fairly limited.
So says Benoit Anne, head of emerging market strategy at Societe Generale. In 2013, a Bank of Japan "policy bazooka" triggered a remarkable EM rally, "but as we all remember too well, it ended in tears. Nothing to do with the BOJ of course, but with the Fed coming to the fore with the Bernanke earthquake signal." But, Benoit says, this time is different:
"First of all, my sense is that EM positioning had reached extreme levels back in early 2013 and we are still nowhere close to those. Likewise, valuations in EM, be it in rates or foreign exchange, had become overstretched. More importantly, I don't think that the current Fed Chair will produce a Bernanke-like signal that will catch everybody by surprise over the next couple of months. Yes, the Fed will have to tweak its communication at some point, but I am going to start worrying about that much later. For now, I am sticking to my scenario of GEM generally grinding stronger over the next few weeks, although reading the fine print will also be important. Favour EM fixed income over EM FX. In EMEA, favour CEE over the Turkey/Russia infernal duo, and in Latin America, sit tight and wait for the election outcome in Brazil. Yes, the balance of risk suggests U.S. Treasury yields going higher, especially with the 10-year at 2.36%, but that, to me, helps provide support to all those compression trades that I like. At 355bp for the 10-year TIIE vs. its U.S. counterpart, this still looks good, especially if you bear in mind that Mexican local rates will unlikely overshoot the U.S. rates moving higher in a non-extreme global risk environment. … I would be tactically bullish on [Hungary's currency] while my G10 colleagues are telling me that there is further downside to the EUR."
Shares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is down more than 1% today. Russia stocks are moving lower today as rebels escalate tensions in Ukraine.
Recently, I've been looking for emerging-market bulls recently to combat the pervasive negativity from both the buy and sell side. So when I saw a Credit Suisse's report today,"GEM: stay overweight, despite headwinds," I thought I'd found a reasoned explanation for staying optimistic on the beaten down asset class.
Not quite. Sure, Credit Suisse still likes emerging markets. They point to its 15% discount relative to global markets–a seven-year low, according to the strategists–the economic growth momentum of emerging markets relative to developed ones, profit margins at historical lows, among other reasons to stay positive.
But then comes the kicker: Credit Suisse has cut its overweight to global merging markets by eight percentage points to a 10% overweight, from 18%. That's because they see many of the causes for the EM slide persisting. They include falling commodity prices–40% of GEM market cap is from commodity exporting countries–and the weak yen, which will hurt Asian competitors.
The strategists say economic fundamentals and earnings revisions favor Korea, China and Hungary, according to its models, while its EM strategist Sakthi Siva likes China, Korea and India.
The investment bank also prefers consumer stocks, but in most cases says to look for developed market parents rather than their EM subsidiaries because the former is cheaper than the latter. Colgate Palmolive (CL), for instance, trades with a P/E of 20.1 based on the next 12 months of earnings, while Colgate-Palmolive India trades at a P/E of 27.8.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) has gained 1.4% to 42.27 today, while the iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI) has gained 2% to $36.34. The iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) has gained 1% to $56.04.
The developed worlds ongoing financial crisis has create what Merrill Lynch's strategists have termed "Japanification"–a world of slow growth and low yields. And no place is that more true than the euro zone.
Merrill's emerging-market strategists note the similarity between the outflows from emerging Asia following the crises of 1997 and 1998, and the capital flows in and out of Europe since 2005. The upshot: Growth will be hard to come by in emerging Europe. They expect Poland to grow at just a 2% clip, while Hungary could slip into recession.
But being a bad bet long term has never stopped markets from rallying short term. Poland's WIG Index rallied 1.4% today, the Czech Republic's Prague Stock Exchange Index rose 0.7% and Hungary's Budapest Stock Exchange Index advanced 0.5%. The reason: Greece received more bonds than expected for its buyback offer and Germany's Zew index, a measure of investor sentiment, rose.
Investors should approach emerging Europe with caution in 2013, according to a new report from research-firm Capital Economics.
"Emerging Europe is likely to be the weakest EM region in 2013, due to its close trade and financial ties with the euro-zone," the report said.
Capital Economics is expecting recessions in Hungary, where students are protesting cuts in government subsidies, and the Czech Republic, and even Poland, where Fiat plans to layoff 1,500 workers, is at risk.
Poland, at least has the ability to cut interest rates to juice the economy. The Czech Republic and Hungary do not have that luxury. In Czech, for instance, the benchmark rate is at a record low 0.05%. Policy makers in Hungary, on the other hand, may "be forced into defensive rates hikes to support their currencies over the coming years," the report said.
Still, there are some reasons to expect a downturn to be short-lived. The biggest: Germany is emerging Europe's largest trading partner. If its holds up, that would provide a boost to Poland, Czech and Hungary.
Capital Economics expects the region to grow at a 1.5% clip in 2013, down from 2.5% in 2012, well below consensus expectations for 3% growth.
The SPDR S&P Emerging Europe (GUR) exchange-traded fund has returned 17.9% this year.

Respond to Review of La Mano Verde
by RobertReyner
Review: All I can really say is that this restaurant proved to be one of the highlights of my trip to Berlin. The chocolate cake for dessert would be reason enough for repeat visits, but so too would the lovely staff and the head chef that made us feel very welcome. He even gave us other desserts to try as we couldnt make up our minds! If you are in Berlin for a weekend, be sure to book this restaurant in as part of your trip (best to book in advance too)

HIV-1 is the virus that causes almost all the cases of AIDS
worldwide. A related virus, HIV-2, was first isolated in people in West Africa
in 1986. Some people who are infected with HIV-2 appear to have an AIDS-like
illness, but most do not have symptoms.
You should be tested for
HIV-2 infection if you:
Because HIV-2 is transmitted in the same ways as HIV-1,
people who have HIV-2 should follow the same precautions as people who have
HIV-1. It is possible to be infected with both HIV-1 and HIV-2.
Since 1992, blood and organs donated in the United States have been screened
for HIV-2, so the risk of developing HIV-2 infection from a blood transfusion
or organ transplant is extremely low.

"The analgesic effects of music are well known, but most of the studies have been done with adults and most of the music has been classical. Now a recent study finds that children who choose their own music or audiobook to listen to after major surgery experience less pain."
"In Headache, researchers Rozen and Fishman published results of a large survey that included over a thousand people with cluster headaches – of which there are a little over half a million sufferers in the United States."
"Researchers have identified individual stem cells that can regenerate tissue, cartilage and bone. The stem cells are mixed within human bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) but are similar in appearance and previously, scientists had difficulty in distinguishing between them.

Lagos — TWO non-executive directors of the United Bank of Africa, Emmanuel Nnorom and Abdulkadir Bello, have resigned from the company.
In a notice to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), the bank said that the resignation of pair, who had served the financial institution for less than two years each, took immediate effect.
In the notice, Bili Odum, Group Company Secretary to the bank, said the resignation of the duo was in compliance to the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN's) directive to deposit money banks in the country that all executive directors (EDs) aspiring to take up non-executive directorship positions in their banks or their subsidiaries were required to serve out a minimum cooling-off period of three years.
UBA had in January this year and last September notified the stock exchange of the appointment of Nnorom and Bello as non-executive directors of the bank.
CBN through a circular dated March 13, 2014 titled "Transmutation of Executive Directors to Non-Executive Directors of Deposit Money Banks" directed to all banks to note and comply with the directive that all executive directors aspiring to take up non-executive directorship positions in their banks or their subsidiaries, which are under the supervision of the bank or the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation, are required to serve out a minimum "cooling-off" period of three years.

Comair, meanwhile, pointed to a 40% spike in demand in the Northeast this past year, where weather was also tough during the winter of 2006 to 2007. While blaming weather can be an easy copout, it's certainly a factor. It's probably no coincidence that Hawaiian Airlines and Aloha Airlines rate as two of the best carriers in the country in on-time performance and efficient baggage handling, while incurring few cancellations.
"We continue to fight a losing battle against weather and congestion in that part of the country," says Comair spokeswoman Kate Marx. "We are doing everything we can to assist customers during delays and cancellations, but we anticipate the issues to continue until an overarching solution is implemented," she says, asserting that general air traffic control problems are at least partly to blame.
Certainly when it comes to flight delays, problems unique to specific airlines like plane readiness and crew availability are compounded by factors beyond their control, such as airport mismanagement, air traffic congestion, bad weather and, these days, longer security lines. There's no shortage of ideas on how to deal with some of these problems, though the most radical one comes from Robert Poole, director of transportation studies for the Reason Foundation.
His solution? Turn over the air traffic infrastructure to the private sector. His Air Traffic Control report cites a Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation study, which asserted that privatization would transfer and spread risk, while introducing more efficiencies into the system.
Not everyone sees the private sector as the answer, though Poole is certainly not alone in criticizing a traffic control system increasingly seen as obsolete. From a taxpayers' perspective, it wouldn't require a huge investment to bring the air traffic control system into the 21st century. The FAA conservatively estimates that upgrading the entire U.S. air traffic operation to a satellite based-system would cost $1 billion per year for the next 20 years, a rounding error in the national budget.
Mary E. Peters, U.S. secretary of transportation, has cautioned that time is growing short.
"Aviation delays will grow without significant reforms as forecasters predict that air traffic will increase by the equivalent of two major hubs a year," she said in a recent statement.
Meanwhile the number of mishandled bags--those lost, damaged, delayed or pilfered has nearly doubled over the past three years to more than 4 million incidents. Industry laggard Atlantic Southeast mishandled 17 bags for every 1,000 passengers it carried last year, according to the DOT report.
It's enough to get airlines to spend on upgrading those services that matter most to customers, now that traffic is up and balance sheets are improving.
As American Eagle's Huguely puts it: "We don't like being at the bottom."

FlexiFit 432 Full Face
CPAP Mask
FlexiFit technology by Fisher & Paykel is a special innovation which allows for
an auto-contouring fit. Experts at the company have used an anthropomorphic
database containing thousands of different facial structures and facial lines in
order to create CPAP masks that fit comfortably with just one single "snap".
FlexiFit 432 is a second generation CPAP full face mask by Fisher &
Paykel Healthcare which is meant to take comfort and therapy compliance to the
next level. The brand new, innovative Soft Foam Cushion combines in the most
natural way with the Silicone Seal with contours in order to deliver the best
mask seal.
When shopping for full face CPAP masks, it is extremely important to look for
the following:
A lightweight mask- you do not have to feel the
"weight" of your mask constantly during therapy
A mask that comes with the best adjusting
features- auto-adjusting clips and straps such as the FlexiFit 432
A mask that integrates the best seal technology-
mask leaks need to be avoided at all costs in order to get efficient CPAP
FlexiFit 432 Performance Chart
FlexiFit Technology - a unique, auto contouring technology that will
bring patients CPAP therapy compliance from day one. Thanks to this innovative
technology, the FlexiFit 432 will automatically adjust to a wide variety of
nasal and facial structures. This fact makes it extremely easy for physicians to
fit a wider range of patients with the right CPAP or Bi-level mask. One-step
fitting system, no complex adjustments.
Under Chin design - this feature brings maximum stability and an
anti-leak design for the mask even when the patient moves his jaw during the
night. Extra stability is always important when it comes to full face CPAP or
Bi-level masks. Patients who breathe both through their nose and through the
mouth require the use of such full face masks, but for optimum therapy the mask
needs to be extremely stable.
Glider Strap Technology - the unique innovation allows patients to
move their head freely, while the mask maintains proper seal. The mask will not
shift from its position while the user moves his/her head from side to side or
tilt it up or down. The FlexiFit 432 is your best choice if you use the mask
while watching TV, or reading because it does not obstruct the field of vision
like other full face masks in a similar range.
Premium Quality Frosted Silicone Seal - optimized seal technology by
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. The mask will slide extremely smoothly and
comfortably onto the face thanks to the soft seal technology. The mask seal is
further optimized by the frosted texture of the material which will not allow
air to escape.
FlexiFit 432 Crown Strap - a perfect combination of under-chin mask
design and a comfortable crown strap will ensure maximum stability of the full
face mask. With this particular full face mask, users do not have to wear a
complimentary chin strap.
Please contact SleepRestfully experts for more information available on
the FlexiFit series of CPAP & Bi-level masks by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.

Gunmen Assassinate Mayor-Elect in Southern Colombia, Efe Says
Dec. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Jaime Chazatar, mayor-elect of the municipality of Santa Cruz-Guachaves in Southern Colombia, was killed by gunmen, the Spanish-language newswire Efe reported.

Chazatar was supposed to assume the position of mayor of Santa Cruz-Guachaves tomorrow, Efe reported. He was elected in October, running as a candidate for the Indigenous Authorities of Colombia party, Efe said.

Jamie Dixon insists he's not going anywhere. The same goes for Steven Adams. After another March disappointment for Pitt, it's a start. The Panthers (24-9) bounced back from a miserable 2011-12 season to get back into the thick of the Big East, but the rousing send-off Dixon and company had in mind before moving to the ACC never materialized. Pitt rallied from a slow start to finish 12-6 in the final incarnation of the Big East before it breaks up. But the Panthers failed to win a game in the conference tournament for the third time in four years. Things didn't get any better in the NCAA tournament, when ninth-seeded Wichita State had its way in the second half of a 73-55 romp in the second round on Thursday. Not exactly a swan song to sing about. ''We just simply weren't the right way from start to finish,'' Dixon said. A rarity for a team that for long stretches played better than the sum of its parts. The Panthers stuck with a 10-man rotation all season, relying largely on ...

Re: What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of idvd? in response to Hans Vermeersch Solved
Hello, Hans.
Re: drop zone pic resolution - I generally don't go below 1000 pixels wide (iDVD will resize these images to a slightly smaller format, but I've controlled the largest part of the downsizing in Photoshop Elements).
The alignment in iDVD is goofy. The best I've achieved is trial and error -- adding blank background or cropping my image in the downsizing process (see above) to position my image.

Pizza Hut® Offers Instant Crowd Support During Holidays With the Launch of Big Dinner Box
Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Pizza Hut® Offers Instant Crowd Support During Holidays With the Launch of Big Dinner Box14:02 EST Tuesday, November 22, 2011Epic Box of Pizza, Wings and Breadsticks Arrives in time for "Red Roof Wednesday" - The Day before Thanksgiving DALLAS, Nov. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Feeding a crowd this holiday season just got a whole lot easier ? and more affordable ? thanks to a BIG new menu item at Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut has launched the Big Dinner Box, an epic-sized box filled with two medium rectangular one-topping pizzas, eight wings and five breadsticks for only $19.99. The Big Dinner Box from Pizza Hut is one of the pizza category's first ever value boxes offering a combination of pizza and side items in a single package. The Big Dinner Box is available for a limited time at participating Pizza Hut restaurants.(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/CG11521-a) (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/CG11521-b)(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/CG11521-c)(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111122/CG11521-d)"More than 50 years ago, Pizza Hut began a journey that brought great tasting, value-driven pizza to a national audience," said Kurt Kane, Chief Marketing Officer at Pizza Hut. "Now we're breaking ground again by offering our first ever pizza value box because we know that our customers need a value-conscious option that can feed a crowd during the holidays. The new Big Dinner Box does just that with an unmatched combo of pizza, wings and breadsticks in one giant box for an unbelievable price."The Big Dinner Box could not have arrived at a better time, as Pizza Hut restaurants nationwide are prepping for "Red Roof Wednesday," a consumer phenomenon that rivals Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Red Roof Wednesday is the day before Thanksgiving ? tomorrow, Nov. 23 this year ? when households are packed with hungry college students and out-of-town relatives in search of a quick meal without dirtying the dishes before turkey day. This year on Red Roof Wednesday, Pizza Hut expects to sell 1 million pizzas. The projection continues a trend that makes the day before Thanksgiving consistently the busiest weekday of the year at Pizza Hut (excluding Fridays). In addition to the 1 million pizzas sold, Pizza Hut is expecting to receive 275,000 orders for the new Big Dinner Box on Red Roof Wednesday.To put into perspective the amount of Pizza Hut pizza America will be enjoying on Red Roof Wednesday, the Pizza Hut research team crunched some numbers.2.4 Million: Pounds of Pizza Hut pizza ordered on Red Roof Wednesday ? that's equivalent to the weight of 151,000 Thanksgiving turkeys. 1.2 Million: Feet of Pizza Hut pizzas sold on Red Roof Wednesday ? enough to cover the length of the Mayflower more than 12,000 times. Big Dinner Box ? By Land, Air and SeaWith Red Roof Wednesday just around the corner and the debut of the Big Dinner Box in sight, Pizza Hut generated buzz at a series of events across the country by delivering the Big Dinner Box in three exciting ways: by land, air and sea.Pizza Hut activated the Big Dinner Box "land" delivery under the stars on Nov. 7 in Los Angeles. The target was hundreds of gamers at a GameStop® retail store waiting to get their hands on the holiday season's hottest video game. The gamers, many of whom had been standing in line for hours, erupted when Pizza Hut delivery personnel poured out of military vehicles carrying Big Dinner Boxes for all.Four days later, paratroopers in full Pizza Hut uniform dropped from the sky over the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla., during the Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show. The Nov. 11 "air" delivery was met by the cheers of thousands of surprised spectators and service men and women.On Sunday, the "sea" delivery was completed when the Hutflower ? a replica of the Mayflower made of Big Dinner Boxes ? arrived near Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Mass. Big Dinner Boxes were then unloaded from aboard the Hutflower and introduced to America at the birthplace of Thanksgiving. Families and even a group of pilgrims were on site to sample the Big Dinner Box and give it the official Thanksgiving seal of approval.Meet the Stars of the Big Dinner BoxThe Big Dinner Box features a trio of Pizza Hut favorites: pizza, wings and breadsticks. To make it even easier to please large crowds, customers can customize their box with their favorite pizza toppings and flavor choices for their wings.Pizza: a pair of medium, rectangular, thick-crust-style pizzas with one great-tasting Pizza Hut topping on each; customers can choose different toppings for each to help keep the holiday crowds satisfied Wings: eight mouth-watering chicken wings available in all styles and flavors offered at the selected Pizza Hut restaurant; WingStreet locations offer the choice of traditional, bone-out and crispy bone-in styles and the full line of signature WingStreet sauces Breadsticks: crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, the famous Pizza Hut breadsticks are no side show in the Big Dinner Box lineup; five are included in each Big Dinner Box along with a marinara dipping sauce About Pizza HutPizza Hut, America's Favorite Pizza, delivers more pizza, pasta and wings than any other restaurant. The only pizza company to be named a top ten franchise in 2009 by Entrepreneur Magazine, Pizza Hut began more than 50 years ago in Wichita, Kansas, and today operates nearly 10,000 restaurants in more than 90 countries.

Time for a brutal assessment regarding the state of immigration reform in America. Extreme partisans on both sides of the aisle — you will not like what you read over the next two minutes. Hopefully, the rest of you will chew on it for a bit.
First, the GOP. The upside here is that a majority of Republicans seem to have at least some appreciation for the rule of law. In the context of immigration reform, this instinct plays out in a desire to enforce the law — just like every other civilized country in the world, especially Mexico.

Sixteen-year-old Miley Cyrus was quite the grown up - on her birthday, nonetheless - in a black and gold goddess shortie. We liked the Pussy Cat dolls coy, cocktail ensembles as well. Even Jordan sparks went way above the knee in canary yellow. Whoohoo! And we loved Rihanna's blush handkerchief-hemmed mini. What do you think about the short dresses? Did the young artists set themselves apart fashionably? Did they give the older songstresses a run for their money?
There is something to be said about classic elegance. An ability to be fantabulous at any age. We think Maya Angelou pulled out all the stops for age-appropriate fantasticness at last night's Marian Anderson's Award Ceremony. Do you like her look? How much do we love Angelou in her sparkling Phillies red gown?
For a minute there this afternoon, we thought we were at the end of a fashion era. Page 6 reported today that Vogue editor, Anna Wintour was "thinking" of retiring. An unnamed source told The New York Post that Wintour's "contract is up soon. She's thinking of retiring. She feels she's done it all and had enough." We put a call into Vogue's spokesperson, Patrick O'Connell who wrote us back in an e-mail that "this is a completely unfounded rumor." Whew!
We're glad that didn't pan out because Wintour has to be on board when the new presidential administration is sworn in to ensure Michelle Obama on the cover. And what about Beyonce? What do you think of Wintour's reign at Vogue? Do you read Vogue? Would you miss Queen Anna if she were ever to leave?
There are already plans for a book to be written about first lady-elect Michelle Obama's fashion sense. Avon Books, an imprint of Harper Collins, announced today that fashion writer, Mandi Norwood will write a yet to be named paperback dedicated to Obama's style. The book will include design sketches and tips on how to achieve Obama's colorful, yet well-tailored look. Obama is known for mixing high and low looks from H&M and J.Crew to Thakoon and Narciso Rodriguez.
On Sunday night, Obama joined her husband, president elect Barack Obama on 60 Minutes!. She wore a sleeveless, tailored deep purple dress. Her ropes of black and white pearls sparkled. And her makeup - especially the violet eyeshadow - was flawless. I'm working this moment trying to figure out who designed the dress. The book is due out in April 2009. Should be a voracious read for fashionistas. Would you read a book on Michelle Obama's style? Will Obama supercede Jacqueline Kennedy O'Nassis as America's most stylish the first lady? What do you think she'll wear to the Inauguration?
Mark your calendars. This Saturday, November 22, Nicole Bridal and Formal Shoppe in Jenkintown will host a trunk show for brides sizes 16 to 28 featuring the wedding towns designed for the Bara Luxe line of Marimo USA. Bridal specialist, Yvonne McClendon will be on hand to provide tips. We all know how hard it is to find a specialty gown. And it's twice as hard when you can't try on the gown of your dreams before ordering, simply because the boutique only stocks 4s, 6s, 8s and sometimes 10s in sample sizes. The show will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m and brides who order dresses on the day of the trunk show will receive a 15 percent discount. Nicole Bridal & Formal Shoppe is located at 261 Old York Road. Call 215-886-2333 for more information. Any plus-sized brides out there? Have you had a hard time finding a dress?
I'm an Usher fan and Lord knows, I'm a fan of the Victoria Secret Push Up Bra. But I'm not sure I get the point of Vicky's annual fashion show, held this past weekend in Miami. I found the $5 million diamond-studded bra interesting. But wings? Come on, really. Call me a hater, but the whole angel/vixen image just didn't work - or maybe I'm just tired of it. What do you think? Is this annual bare everything lace fest entertaining, or is it just a waste of time? Does it have anything to do with fashion, or is it another nail in the coffin of women's body image? Is it every man's fantasy? Share your thoughts.
Check out Hillary Clinton in this Isaac Mizrahi, shirt dress gown! When was the last time we saw Clinton in a dress? Clinton was honored earlier this week as one of the Glamour Women of the Year. It's a great classic gown that would look good on women of all ages. Congrats to the former first lady for stepping out in style. What do you think of Clinton in the floor-length frock?
If you get a moment, check out the fragrant apothecary, Kiehl's Since 1851 at 18th and Walnut Street for an annual party. Celebrations run through Saturday. The company is asking fans to tell them if they like the pear scent in a gentle exfoliating body scrub, a liquid hand soap, a body lotion or a cleanser. My favorite is the body cleanser. The company introduces new pear scent each year in honor of its original home at Pear Tree Corner in New York's East Village. Anway, go by, sniff and vote. You can't go wrong with Kiehl's fragrances. Kiehl's is located at 1737 Walnut Street. Call them at (215) 636-9936. What's your favorite Kiehl's product? Mine is the foot salve.

On 11 October Safeway announced it was going to either sell or close its 79 Dominick's brand grocery stores in Chicago. After 80 years in Chicago, San Francisco based Safeway leadership felt it was simply time for Dominick's to call it quits.
The grocery industry is truly global, because everyone eats and almost nobody grows their own food. It moves like a giant crude oil carrier, much slower than technology, so identifying trends takes more patience than, say, monitoring annual smartphone cycles. Yet, there are clearly pronounced trends which make a huge difference in performance.
Trends – Good for those who recognize them. Bad for those who don't.
Safeway, like a lot of the dominant grocers from the 1970s-1990s, clearly missed the trends.
Coming out of WWII large grocers replaced independent neighborhood corner grocers by partnering with emerging consumer goods giants (Kraft, P&G, Coke, etc.) to bring customers an enormous range of products very efficiently. They offered a larger selection at lower prices. Even though margins were under 10% (think 2% often) volume helped these new grocery chains make good returns on their assets. Dillon's (originally of Hutchinson, Kansas and later purchased by Kroger) became a 1970s textbook, case study model of effective financial management for superior returns by Harvard Business School guru William Fruhan.
But times changed. Markets shift
Looking at the trend toward low prices, Aldi from Germany came to the U.S. market with a strategy that defines the ultimate in low cost. Often there is only one brand of any product in the store, and that is likely to be the chain's private label. And often it is only available in one size. And customers must be ready to use a quarter to borrow the shopping cart (returned if you replace the cart.) And customers pay for their sacks. Stores are remarkably small and efficient, frequently with only 2 or 3 employees. And with execution so well done that the Aldi brand became #1 in "simple brands" according to a study by brand consultancy Seigal+Gale.
Of course, we also know that big discount chains like WalMart and Target started cherry picking the traditional grocer's enormous SKU (stock keeping units) list, limiting selection but offering lower prices due to lower cost.
Beyond cost, quality trends have been important
Looking at the quality trend, Whole Foods and its brethren demonstrated that people would pay more for better perceived quality. Even though filling the aisles with organic products and the ultimate in freshness led to higher prices, and someone nicknaming the chain "whole paycheck," customers paid up to shop there, leading to superior returns.
Connected to quality has been the trend, which began 30 years ago, to "artisanal" products. Shoppers pay more to buy what are considered limited edition products that are perceived as superior due to a range of "artisanal quality" features; from ingredients used to age of product (or "freshness,") location of manufacture ("local,") extent to which it is considered "organic," quantity of added ingredients for preservation or vitamin enhancement ("less is more,") ecological friendliness of packaging and even producer policies regarding corporate social and ecological responsibility.
Safeway/Dominick's is stuck in an outdated business model
But after decades of partnership, traditional grocers today remain dependent on large consumer goods companies to survive. Large CPGs supply a massive number of SKUs in a limited number of contracts, making life easy for grocery store buyers. Big CPGs pay grocers for shelf space, coupons to promote customer purchases, rebates, ads in local store circulars, discounts for local market promotions, sales volumes exceeding commitments and even planograms which instruct employees how to place products on shelves — all saving money for the traditional grocer. In some cases payments and rebates equal more than total grocer profits.
Additionally, in some cases big CPG firms even deliver their products into the store and stock shelves at no charge to the grocer (called store-door-delivery as a substitute for grocer warehouse and distribution.) And the big CPG firms spend billions of dollars on product advertising to seemingly assure sales for the traditional grocer.

Driftwood burning stinks up West Side Evansville, Mount Vernon
It may have smelled like your neighbor was burning off winter's trash Wednesday afternoon but actually it was the burning of driftwood in Union County, Kentucky.
According to Larry Robb, director of Posey County Emergency Management, wind from the flames blew north across the Ohio River into southwestern Indiana. Robb couldn't say specifically where it came from or who was responsible for the burning.
After being alerted by Posey County dispatch, his department sought the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to address the issue. They have yet to release a statement.
The smell had lingered around into early afternoon but Robb said the smell was starting to dissipate mid-afternoon.

text: Media Reclaim your iPhone storage: iOS 6 brings true streaming to iTunes Match June 13, 2012 7:35 AM Tom Cheredar 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Apple's iTunes Match service is getting a very significant upgrade in the next version of iOS that will make it far more competitive with the growing number of cloud-based music service competitors. The biggest problem with Apple's overall push to the cloud was its treatment of music. It's true that you can access virtually any song, but the company's iTunes Match cloud service currently treats them like files, which you can only download where there's an available internet connection. That's pretty much the opposite of how most consumers expect a cloud music service to work. In the iOS 6 beta, Apple has switched on the ability to stream all the music in your library, provided you sign up for the $25 annual iTunes Match service. Basically, when you tap to play a song, you can stream it directly over the Internet without taking up precious storage space. This is a far more practical move for the service, because I rarely need access to my entire music library, but I do want the option of doing so. For example, I listen to Phil Collins' Sussudio probably once or twice a year. I never feel like I need to have it downloaded on any of my devices because my desire to play it is usually spontaneous. This new change in iOS 6 fixes that problem. (Phil and I both thank you for that, Apple.) It also cuts down on the amount of time I'd have to re-sync my music library to free up available space for other applications on my iPhone and iPad. Personally, I'd like the option of temporarily pinning tracks that I want to listen to my iOS device, regardless of internet connect, similar to how music is treated on Android. For now, I'm happy for this slight upgrade though. Of course, anyone with an older model phone that won't be upgrading to iOS 6 will miss out on this new functionality. But I'm sure Apple is entirely fine with this detail because it'll entice you to upgrade eventually. Via Cult of Mac VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

THEY may be marketed as a way to protect yourself against disease, but there is increasing evidence that antioxidants are more foe than friend. We now have an idea why: while they may protect healthy cells from DNA damage, they also protect cancer cells from our bodily defences.
Antioxidants are chemicals, such as beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, which mop up the destructive free radicals produced when our cells metabolise nutrients.
It now seems that by mopping up the free radicals, antioxidants deactivate a gene called p53, whose job is to destroy cells with defective DNA, including cancer cells. This means the cancer cells can keep growing, says Martin Bergö at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.
In discovering this, Bergö triggered small lung cancers in mice and then gave some of them either vitamin E or an antioxidant used as a drug to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The tumour number, size and aggressiveness all trebled in the mice receiving the antioxidants, while the activity of p53 fell dramatically, suggesting that the antioxidants switched it off (Science Translational Medicine, doi.org/q9z).
Bergö advises caution in the use of antioxidants. "Our study doesn't say anything about the use of antioxidants in healthy people, and their risk of cancer in the future," Bergö says. But if the same effect is seen in humans, he says, people with a high cancer risk, or COPD, might have to rethink their antioxidant intake.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The celebration, at least by the typically all-business standards of the Pittsburgh Penguins, appeared a little over the top.
Familiar foes Ottawa, Pittsburgh offer contrasts
The second Brooks Orpik's slapshot ripped into the back of the net 7:49 into overtime last Saturday to give the Penguins a 4-3 overtime win and a first-round playoff series victory over the better-than-advertised New York Islanders, Orpik's teammates spilled over the boards and sprinted toward the veteran defenseman like kids running after the bell rings on the final day of school.
For a team used to success this time of year, it appeared a little out of character.
Then again, it's been awhile. The first goal in Orpik's 78 career playoff games propelled the Penguins into the second round starting Tuesday against Ottawa while easing some of the pain of early postseason exits in 2011 and 2012.
"I know a lot of people are making a big deal out of that, trying to connect it to the last couple years," Orpik said. "I don't know, maybe it was built up in some people."
Just not, Orpik insists, the guys in the Pittsburgh dressing room.
"Half the guys in this room weren't here the last couple years," he said. "This group that's right here is 1-0 in the playoffs as far as I see it. Hopefully our confidence is just building off the first round."
The Penguins should feel confident — and a bit fortunate — to escape the relentless Islanders. New York dominated for long stretches in the series, using its speed to fluster Pittsburgh's talented but sometimes plodding roster of veterans. Though the Penguins never trailed, they were seemingly never really in control over the final five games.
They advanced anyway after a well-timed goaltender switch from struggling Marc-Andre Fleury to backup Tomas Vokoun, who fought off the pesky Islanders in Games 5 and 6.
Now Vokoun or Fleury — coach Dan Bylsma isn't saying who will start Game 1 — will face an entirely different product in the Senators, owners one of the NHL's stingiest defenses with one major axe to grind.
Pittsburgh knocked Ottawa out of the playoffs fairly easily in 2008 and 2010, though both clubs believe it is ancient history.
"I think any playoff matchup, I would consider a rivalry," Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby said. "That's kind of typical in the playoffs for anything; it kind of develops as the playoffs go on. With the history with them I'm sure there's a little extra there but I think at this point you want every game just as much as you would against any, I guess, 'rival' you could say."
More pressing is a simmering feud between the Senators and Penguins winger/part-time instigator Matt Cooke.

Thread: getting back in the swing?
March 7th, 2009 #1
getting back in the swing?
Hi, all! I would be Spud, long time lurker but not much of a poster. You can consider me a drop-out - I ditched Illustration at University for a number of reasons, but the thing that eventually got me was the fun experience of full-blown depression. I... have still not quite recovered from said depression, but I'm getting treatment and whatnot, so whatever.
Anyways. I stopped drawing for ages because of that. It wasn't just drawing, I'll admit, it was everything else as well - call it an "everything block."
Imagine my absolute delight when, all of a sudden, tablet met OpenCanvas again and for the first time in what felt like forever I spent hours and hours exploring, experimenting, playing, and having fun. I drew fish, faces, a small environment - impulsive things, nothing I could be genuinely proud of, but things I felt positive about, things which reminded me why I loved to draw. None of this "yeah, I drew a random cartoon face... fed up now" business that was just making me feel worse.
So now, it's self-directed study for me!
Only... call me crazy, but I'm at a loss as to where to even start. It's so open, here - I have no University, nobody arty to discuss things with, no idea where to find life drawing classes... I've actually thrown away a considerable amount of my stuff, so my primary material at the moment is watercolour, student quality. I'm thinking of starting to experiment with oil, too, but with a limited budget and limited space, I'm not sure where to begin there either...
If there's anyone else who took an extended break from anything art-related, I'd love to know how you found a new "swing"

Paper and pencil is cheap, and starting a sketch book here is free.

The Following User Says Thank You to Black Spot For This Useful Post:
March 8th, 2009 #3
I would recommend just starting an online sketch book here and post away. Make a routine and stick with it. It may feel like a choir at first but it's a great way for people to pick your brain and help you improve...or provide goal to feel self motivated. Check out the sketchbook section, there's tons of people working hard every day.
But first and foremost you need to clear up the baggage/road block before adventuring into any new journey...or you will end up back in that same funk..sabotaging your new efforts.
You might be overwhelmed. Start slow, build up consistent momentum one drawing at a time, and you will be back in the swing of things. Good luck
Make a sketchbook happy, feed it a tip to improve!
