Romania Gets 1 Billion-Euro World Bank Loan as Yields Rise
June 13 (Bloomberg) -- Romania got a 1 billion-euro ($1.3 billion) precautionary loan from the World Bank as the European sovereign-debt crisis pushes borrowing costs higher and prompts the government to sell less local debt.
The Balkan nation plans to use the new loan, approved yesterday by the Washington-based lender, to strengthen its financing buffer and cover four-month budget spending as pledged to the International Monetary Fund and the European Union, Peter Harrold, the World Bank's country director said today. Romania will be able to draw on the money should external conditions or the debt crisis worsen, Harrold said.
Romania, which has borrowed about 35 billion lei ($9.8 billion) from the domestic market and an additional $2.25 billion from the U.S. market this year, sold only half of the planned amount of leu-denominated bills and bonds this month after yields increased by about 20 basis points.
The increase in Romania's borrowing costs "is what you should expect as there's a very high degree of uncertainty," Harrold said in an interview in Bucharest. Romanian authorities "may not have had all the success they wanted but they are still well ahead with the financing program for this year. They are very close to completing the financing program for this year."
The World Bank can extend the maturity of the Romanian loan after the initial deadline of three years expires, while the negotiated amount is fixed, according to Harrold.
The bank joined the IMF and the EU in a 5 billion-euro precautionary agreement with Romania over two years, signed in March last year. The Balkan nation hasn't drawn any money so far from the loan.
"We judge the impact of this increase in the public debt managers' buffer as marginally positive," Vlad Muscalu, an economist at ING Bank Romania SA, wrote in a note to clients today. "An increased liquidity buffer can allow the public debt managers to limit issuance for a longer period but during this time frame the demand for debt does not consolidate if the buyers are in a deleveraging mode."
Romania should not extend its "departure from usual market practices," as the cost of returning to the markets would be steeper, Muscalu said.
The ministry sold 843 million lei in one-year bills and two-year bonds in the first two debt sales this month, less than the 1.7 billion lei planned, according to the central bank. The yields increased to 5.29 percent for the bills and to 5.73 percent for the bonds.
The country has changed two governments this year and is scheduled to hold general elections in October or November after having local elections on June 10. Prime Minister Victor Ponta's government pledged to continue the accord with the lenders and cut the budget deficit to below the EU limit of 3 percent of the gross domestic product this year, while restoring public-sector wages after a 25 percent cut in 2010.

VDPAU support for 7300GT

Re: VDPAU support for 7300GT
Originally Posted by

My best guess would be that nVidia started work on vdpau a long time after they implemented purevideo on Windows. They probably couldn't really be bothered to implement support for the older cards for likely the following reasons:
1. Anything before the 8 series (and a few cards in the 8 series as well, 8800GT IIRC) do not support purevideo
. So to implement support for them, a bigger part of the decoder would have to be written in software. Which is probably more work. For the 8 series and up, it's a bit more like "take the stream, dump it at the videocard and wait for the decoded pixels to fly out". Not entirely but still. For the 6 and 7 series, much more pre-processing is required.
2. Linux users never bought those cards expecting purevideo. They didn't "pay" for it, in a way. The got the product nVidia promised: a videocard that would display pictures, videos and games. They never promised purevideo and probably didn't feel like spending time and money to give those users something extra for free. I can't really blame them, it's still a company, you could expect them to only do freebies when that results in more profit.
3. They possibly considered the 6 and 7 series to be sort-of EOL. No extra features.
4. Since they didn't write support for your 7300GT, you now have to buy at least a new 8400GT. So not writing support results in another sale. Unfortunately that's how it works.
It would have been nice if they would have given the 6 and 7 series support as well, but I can't really blame them for not providing it. It was never promised to me when I bought my 6200, 6600GT and 7900GTO.
@Stephen: yes, but that's only for MPEG2 isn't it?

Elon Musk is the most daring entrepreneur of our time
There are few industrialists in history who could match Elon Musk's relentless drive and ingenious vision. A modern alloy of Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs, Musk is the man behind PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and SolarCity, each of which has sent shock waves throughout American business and industry. More than any other executive today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far-reaching as a science fiction fantasy.
In this lively, investigative account, veteran technology journalist Ashlee Vance offers an unprecedented look into the remarkable life and times of Silicon Valley's most audacious businessman. Written with exclusive access to Musk, his family, and his friends, the book traces his journey from his difficult upbringing in South Africa to his ascent to the pinnacle of the global business world. Vance spent more than fifty hours in conversation with Musk and interviewed close to three hundred people to tell the tumultuous stories of Musk's world-changing companies and to paint a portrait of a complex man who has renewed American industry and sparked new levels of innovation—all while making plenty of enemies along the way.

I've been using this armor for almost a year now and I only have one real complaint. The method Leatt chose to attach the should pads to the body armor is poor. Brushing against trees will make the plastic pin pop out of the triangle that is supposed to hold it and the pad will end up hanging off your wrist. Zip ties will fix this. In minor get offs the clip above the plastic triangle and pin will come off and this is really hard to get back on, not an easy trail side fix. I'm not sure how I'm going to fix this but something needs to be done. Leatt came so close to perfect with this setup but then totally missed with the shoulder pad connections.Read All Reviews

I don't ever ride without wearing this no matter the weather. I'm a vet rider and can't afford to have little injuries ruin my riding day. This deflector completely covers your ribs and spine and come with excellent shoulder cups. The fit is modular and with a little bit of time can be adjusted perfectly. You are wearing body armor it reduces airflow a lot which can make it pretty hot on summer days in the desert. After getting it adjusted well I never notice I have it on when I ride. Nothing sticks out or rubs or does anything weird. Tipovers are a pleasure if you are wearing this.Read All Reviews

I bought these because the shin guards are short so they'd fit with my boots. Long shin guards I found wouldn't let me buckle it down right. With good boots you don't need a shin guard anyway because they're built into the boot . Fits good, I don't notice them while I'm riding. Protection's good, I've been down a few times and never noticed my knees in the fall. They're a little ackward when off the bike, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars. To me they feel a little like I'm wearing diapers on my knees when walking around. But who cares really, they do their job fine.Read All Reviews

IG: Toxic Burn Pits Still Burning Hell
Despite new rules put into place by Congress in 2009 prohibiting the use of open air trash-burning pits on U.S overseas bases — yes, the same pits that countless numbers of Iraq and Afghanistan vets, and their doctors, say have caused irreparable harm to their health — an inspector general's (SIGAR) report released today say they are still in commission at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan.
Camp Leatherneck is in Helmand Province and has been a launching pad for Marine expeditionary forces and other American servicemembers and contractors since 2008. As recently as 2012 it was the temporary home for some 18,000 at one time — which means a lot of people have been exposed to the huge smouldering pit there. Today, as Camp Leatherneck is dismantling ahead of withdrawal, it houses about 13,500 U.S military and civilian personnel, according to the letter to U.S Central Command from the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) John F. Sopko, dated July 11.
In that letter, Sopko says the Camp Leatherneck actually spent $11.5 million in taxpayer money to purchase and install two 12-ton and two 24-ton capacity incinerators for clean burning (what the bases were supposed to be doing in the wake of the 2009 legislation). Best let Sopko explain in his own words the rest:
My inspectors made several visits to the camp and found that the 12-ton incinerators were not being used to full capacity and the 24-ton incinerators were not being used at all because a contract for their operation and maintenance had not been awarded. As a result, the camp was relying heavily on open-air burn pit operations to dispose of its solid waste. However, Department of Defense guidance and a U.S. Central Command regulation limit the use of open-air burn pit operations. Camp Leatherneck is in violation of this guidance and regulation.
Camp officials advised that they are planning to eventually use all four incinerators and are looking into the feasibility of contracting to have any excess solid waste hauled to a local landfill. In mid-June 2013, my office was notified that a contract was about to be awarded for operating and maintaining the two 24-ton incinerators and that a contract for hauling trash off-site should be in place by the end of July 2013.
These are positive steps toward the cessation of open-burn pit operations. However, if the base incinerators were used to their full capacity,hauling trash off-site may not be necessary.
Bottom line, the IG's report found that Camp Leatherneck was violating the new Department of Defense regulations passed in 2009 and furthermore "as a result, possible long-term health risks to the camp's personnel continue."
This is a bold statement, considering that the DoD has been dancing around the issue of whether the burn pits are causing health problems for years. We here have documented much of their two-stepping, plus a lot of new funny business with how the VA has been surveying troops coming home with issues ranging from asthma to lung lesions. Doctors who have done lung biopsies on returning vets say they they have have toxic exposure. Others have gone public with their belief that the pits are blame. Yet more and more we hear these reports of bases taking half-baked measures to shut the monsters down — and we're playing for the privilege! In April we reported another IG report on Camp Salerno, where their two $5 million incinerators have not only gone unused, but are now rotting in place.
Congress has managed to pass a requirement that the VA start collecting information on sick vets for a Burn Pit Registry (the VA initially resisted such a registry, but now is seeking comment and providing details). Soon we may see the repercussions of the Pentagon not taking these risks on U.S bases so seriously.

Another reason not to join the military! Don't join the military unless you want to end up doing crazy stuff like murdering civilians including small children. The military is not good for you, or anyone else.

You have no clue what the hell you are talking about. The military has provided a lot of aid, and other positives that you never see in the news. I know this because of being in the military for 16 years and have deployed to areas such as this.
awesome story ,Kelley as usual! As for myself, I havelong ago gave up any hope of the "fort hcoming, yet elusive, Burn Pit Registry. Many of us are STILL not faring so well a decade later after the contaminated deployment to hades (for all the wrong reasons).
Obviously understanding the above article we resonate with it since its true so it's great to see an author that is telling it publically to read.
Interestingly scanning the information many will agree with this as it is valid and its great finding a guy that's showing snippets on this topic for us to review
Now about reading the article we accept this because it's accurate and its good to read from an author that's stating it for all to look at!
Basically going through this content numerous will believe the above because its reality and it is great to see a person that is posting snippets on this topic for all to think about
Clearly citing the OPs article readers will like it as it's what we genuinely believe and its nifty seeing a guy that is stating things on this topic for all to see to read.

Well It's hard to find the good from the bad sometimes, but I think you've nailed it! would you mind updating your blog with more information.

I have 3 two year olds an 11m, and 12m. They are still in pack and plays but sleep really good. Today they all slept 3-4hrs. When do you transition? All the 2yr olds are in beds at home now but don't stay in them and come in exhausted in the morning.
I don't want to mess with something that is working so well but I know they will eventually need to come out. All my 2s are on the petite side so I dont' feel they are cramped...yet.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 69 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Loriis Time to pack up the tree I purchased this item this year as I became tire of reopening and resealing the box that the item came in. I found a really good deal for it and figured what could it hurt? The item did not come with any guidelines on where to place what piece. My husband, who is very logical, kept rearranging and rearranging. He finally told me that the base would not go in or it would tear the fabric. After about an hour, he finally worked it out, but there are not enough pockets for everything for the tree. Also, it ends up being lopsided inside. We do like for the fact that our tree is no longer in a box and lays flat for better storage but other than that, it was odd as well as the fabric tears easily if not placed properly inside. January 16, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by wintersnow holds the tree What can I say? It's a storage bag. Tree fits. hook on end lasted until I touched it and it's not worth the effort to return it just to get another one . . . but it works. January 19, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by valleyforge Lacking instructions It would be helpful if a diagram was included to show where to store the different pieces of the ornament tree. It took a long time to put all pieces in the bag then it was so heavy on one side. The weight should be evenly distributed. It is heavy to carry. Sorry I purchased it. It would have been better if I store the pieces in a box. Couldn't return it because cost of return was almost as much as credit I would have received. Not happy with purchase and your return policy. Should be no charge to return item. January 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by bran not as expected I purchased my tree from Improvements several years ago and the design changed so I could not fit the base in the bag-disapponted to say the least. February 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by sthorn Not really needed. I purchased the smallest ornament tree, and the storage bag is really kind of "overkill." The tree disassembles easily and small enough to be packed away with other things in a bin. January 6, 2012

Gentlemen of the Road: A Tale of Adventureby Michael Chabon
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, sprang from an early passion for the derring-do and larger-than-life heroes of classic comic books. Now, once more mining the rich past, Chabon summons the rollicking spirit of legendary adventures — from The Arabian Nights to Alexandre Dumas to Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories — in a wonderful new novel brimming with breathless action, raucous humor, cliff-hanging suspense, and a cast of colorful characters worthy of Scheherazade's most tantalizing tales.
They're an odd pair, to be sure: pale, rail-thin, black-clad Zelikman, a moody, itinerant physician fond of jaunty headgear, and ex-soldier Amram, a gray-haired giant of a man as quick with a razor-tongued witticism as he is with a sharpened battle-ax. Brothers under the skin, comrades in arms, they make their rootless way through the Caucasus Mountains, circa A.D. 950, living as they please and surviving however they can — as blades and thieves for hire and as practiced bamboozlers, cheerfully separating the gullible from their money. No strangers to tight scrapes and close shaves, they've left many a fist shaking in their dust, tasted their share of enemy steel, and made good any number of hasty exits under hostile circumstances.
None of which has necessarily prepared them to be dragooned into service as escorts and defenders to a prince of the Khazar Empire. Usurped by his brutal uncle, the callow and decidedly ill-tempered young royal burns to reclaim his rightful throne. But doing so will demand wicked cunning, outrageous daring, and foolhardy bravado...not to mention an army. Zelikman and Amram can at least supply the former. But are these gentlemen of the road prepared to become generals in a full-scale revolution?
The only certainty is that getting there — along a path paved with warriors and whores, evil emperors and extraordinary elephants, secrets, swordplay, and such stuff as the grandest adventures are made of — will be much more than half the fun.
"Pulitzer Prize winner — Chabon (The Yiddish Policemen's Union) recreates 10th-century Khazaria, 'the fabled kingdom of wild red-haired Jews on the western shore of the Caspian Sea,' in this sprightly historical adventure. Zelikman and Amram, respectively a gawky Frank and a gigantic Abyssinian, make their living by means of confidence tricks, doctoring, bodyguarding and the occasional bit of skullduggery along the Silk Road. The unlikely duo find themselves caught up in larger events when they befriend Filaq, the headstrong and unlikable heir to the recently deposed war king of the Khazars. Their attempts to restore Filaq to the throne make for a terrifically entertaining modern pulp adventure replete with marauding armies, drunken Vikings, beautiful prostitutes, rampaging elephants and mildly telegraphed plot points that aren't as they seem. Chabon has a wonderful time writing intentionally purple prose and playing with conventions that were most popular in the days of Rudyard Kipling and Talbot Mundy. Gary Gianni's elegant illustrations, a cross between Vierge's art for Don Quixote and Brundage's Weird Tales covers, perfectly complement the historical adventure. A significant change from Chabon's weightier novels, this dazzling trifle is simply terrific fun." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Michael Chabon is forever changing gears as a writer. In this novel, serialized in the New York Times Magazine earlier this year, he takes on 10th-century Khazaria, a Jewish kingdom between the Black and Caspian Seas, and creates a picaresque, swashbuckling adventure, each chapter charmingly illustrated by Gary Gianni. Though the original title was 'Jews with Swords,' the more measured 'Gentlemen... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) of the Road' serves just fine. Chabon's highfalutin writing is an object lesson in style perfectly matched to genre. The number one gentleman, 'the Frankish scarecrow' Zelikman — swindler, doctor, poet, warrior, con man — hits the Silk Road with his sidekick, a giant African named Amram. This dynamic duo, as joined at the hip as Batman and Robin or Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, ends up in a fight for control of the empire of Khazaria. There they befriend Filaq, heir to the deposed king, a stripling swaddled in a bearskin who 'gave off an aroma, more powerful than that of horse dung or cheese or one-eyed Persians, of money.' While hardly resistant to the seductions of money, the two don't take on Filaq's cause for mere fortune alone. Zelikman longs to see 'the fabled kingdom of wild red-haired Jews on the western shore of the Caspian Sea.' Their perilous attempts to reach that city and restore Filaq to the throne result in battles galore, lives saved and lost, encounters with beks, a Khagan, Hillel the horse, Cunegunde the elephant, a ruffian called Hanukkah, mercenaries, tearful cavalrymen, Northmen who are 'slaves to their appetites' and a quest for the perfect hat. If any good adventure is all about the journey, there is also, as Amram remarks, 'an appeal in the idea of seeing some business through from start to finish.' And the lark Chabon has in getting there translates into a hoot for the reader. Still, such an arch, lickety-split odyssey won't be everyone's cuppa. The pulp-averse, the history-challenged, the Khazar-illiterate might feel at a disadvantage without a glossary of 10th-century terms. Not every reader will be willing to take all this on literary faith. Nevertheless, if you stick with this tale, you'll be rewarded with a slalom course's worth of twists, not to mention a suitable moral. 'All the evil in the world derives from the actions of men acting in a mass against other masses of men,' notes Zelikman, whose insight, thanks to his creator, never keeps him from brandishing his sword. Mameve Medwed's fifth novel, 'Of Men and their Mothers,' will be published in May."

"[A]n ebullient yarn that blithely defies probability....Ridiculously entertaining. If the movie people don't snap this one up, somebody's asleep at the switch." Kirkus Reviews
"[Gentlemen of the Road] reeled me in. Within a few pages I was happily tangled in his net of finely filigreed language, seduced by an old-school-style swashbuckling quest complete with outlandish characters, and well, the smell of exotic places." San Francisco Chronicle
"[A]lthough the effect can be dizzying and the plot may twist a time or two too many, it's hard to resist its gathering momentum, not to mention the sheer headlong pleasure of Chabon's language." Susann Cokal, The New York Times Book Review
"Chabon has a humorous, acrobatic writing style that translates rather well to the adventure genre. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"[T]iny but overstuffed, and like a battered piece of antique luggage covered with exotic stickers, it's more interesting for what it reveals about its owner's hunger to discover new places than for its actual contents. (Grade: B)" Entertainment Weekly
"Although not as accessible as Chabon's modern-day stories, the gentleness of the gentlemen of the road is classic Chabon. Perhaps he should journey even deeper into the past for his next work." Seattle Times
"It is both too much and not nearly enough. With rare exceptions — the delightful opening chapter comes to mind — this mass of details never coalesces into a coherent picture of a time and place, while the novel's characters remain as flat as the pages on which they appear." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
This rollicking saga by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is set 1,000 years ago along the ancient Silk Road, and tells the tale of two wandering adventurers and unlikely soul mates.

- pungency;
- acyltransferase;
- secondary metabolism
Pungency in Capsicum fruits is due to the accumulation of the alkaloid capsaicin and its analogs. The biosynthesis of capsaicin is restricted to the genus Capsicum and results from the acylation of an aromatic moiety, vanillylamine, by a branched-chain fatty acid. Many of the enzymes involved in capsaicin biosynthesis are not well characterized and the regulation of the pathway is not fully understood. Based on the current pathway model, candidate genes were identified in public databases and the literature, and genetically mapped. A published EST co-localized with the Pun1 locus which is required for the presence of capsaicinoids. This gene, AT3, has been isolated and its nucleotide sequence has been determined in an array of genotypes within the genus. AT3 showed significant similarity to acyltransferases in the BAHD superfamily. The recessive allele at this locus contains a deletion spanning the promoter and first exon of the predicted coding region in every non-pungent accession tested. Transcript and protein expression of AT3 was tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. Virus-induced gene silencing of AT3 resulted in a decrease in the accumulation of capsaicinoids, a phenotype consistent with pun1. In conclusion, gene mapping, allele sequence data, expression profile and silencing analysis collectively indicate that the Pun1 locus in pepper encodes a putative acyltransferase, and the pun1 allele, used in pepper breeding for nearly 50 000 years, results from a large deletion at this locus.

35 year old man | San Diego, CA, USA | Seeking men 26-45 within 20 miles of North Park, CA
Looking for love and landed here....crazier things have happened :-)
My life can seem manic-depressive, but without that whole chemical imbalance and need for medication thing… I have days where nothing sounds better than an 86 hour Law and Order marathon and others where I want to jump on the internet and book a trip to some place I have never been - but that has very little religious zealotry and strong cocktails. Looking to meet someone that makes me laugh, is self-grounded, and excited about exploring new things together. These kinds of sites are challenging because it's all about building a "personal resume" and resumes are boring. I'm more interested in getting to know another person off the screen and hope to find people that are interested in learning more about what makes me tick as well...not just what I thought to type here or made up ha I'm an outgoing guy and am often described as someone that makes friends easily. I'm a recent transplant to San Diego and taking this new adventure of "west coast living" day by day. Ultimately, i'm looking to meet the guy that I'm going to grow old with, but friends are also welcome. I've been a lifelong east coaster, so now that i'm living in CA, i'm just taking it all in! I'm just as content to discover a new area or check out a fun restaurant or cook at home with some wine and good company.

LO is 10.5 months and we want to start TTC #2, but I haven't had a period yet and I've started doing a pregnancy test every month the last couple of months just in case... nothing. I only nurse/pump 3-4 times a day and really thought I'd be fertile again by now!
Anyone else still not have their period back?

Make sure you keep doing preg tests at least every other month. Remember, you will ovulate before you get your period. Good luck!

I stopped bf/ep after 2.5-3 months, then got on nexplanon and have still not had any pp bleeding/period, so I've been wondering when it'll be back as well. Not that I'm complaining either, it's SO nice without it, but I've purchased tests just to make sure lol

just looking for some opinions on this- my daughter is 2 years and 4 months- I'm 28 weeks pregnant. At daycare- she is mostly potty trained, she'll still have a few accidents here and there. But for me she refuses to go- it's a total power struggle, kicking, screaming, won't sit, the works.
Do I continue trying at home or just let it be until she's ready to do this with me?
