International Arbitration: A New Paradigm for Dispute Resolution in Latin America
The decade of the 1990s was the beginning of a new era for dispute resolution in Latin America, one with a growing emphasis on the use of international arbitration. Two important developments in international law – the New York Arbitration Convention and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Arbitration – are responsible for the upward trend in the use of international arbitration in the region. Both instruments reflected a universal sharing of international arbitration principles, and thereby changed the legal world of international commercial arbitration in a revolutionary way: they established the framework of what Professor Michael Reisman has called the "normative architecture of international commercial arbitration."
According to Reisman, the effectiveness of this normative infrastructure depends on substantial and predictable governmental and intergovernmental support. The two elements necessary are (1) the existence of international agreements among all pertinent jurisdictions to compel arbitration when the parties have contractually agreed to arbitration; and (2) domestic legislation that supports arbitration and enforces arbitral awards. The New York Convention has been adopted in almost 150 countries around the world. In Latin America, over the last two decades, a large number of countries amended or passed new arbitration legislation, many of them (Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic) drafted almost verbatim from the UNCITRAL Model Law. All Latin American countries have ratified the New York Convention and most of them have also ratified the Panama Convention, a regional version of the NYC.
The region's enthusiasm for international arbitration is evident also in the proliferation of arbitral institutions. In Brazil alone, more than 150 such institutions have been established. The International Chamber of Commerce, reports a growing number of arbitrations in Latin America. According to the ICC, Brazil and Mexico are ranked among the top ICC jurisdictions.
For international commercial arbitration to achieve its goals of certainty, uniformity, and simplicity, it is essential that the proceedings be conducted in conformance with strong principles of party autonomy, as expressed in the arbitration agreements, and the rules the parties choose to govern the dispute. Though arbitration is conducted in the sphere of private law, its operation and effectiveness are inexorably tied to the actions and behavior of national courts. This aspect of international arbitration manifests one of the great tensions, even a paradox, present in the interaction between international arbitration and local courts: on the one hand, international commercial arbitration requires a huge exercise of restraint by local courts, which are allowed to intervene only with express authorization. On the other hand, the arbitration relies heavily on local courts for the enforceability of the award. This tension represents for the local judges a form of clash of cultures. International arbitration must coexist with the more traditional forms of exercise of jurisdictional powers, where concepts such as territorial powers of the jurisdiction, public order, or the national constitution interact with the limited form of intervention of judges and local legal systems that international arbitration demands.
In Latin America, judges remain parochial to a large extent. They are influenced strongly by an historically different legal culture characterized by strong notions of territoriality of jurisdictions. There are differences among the countries in Latin America with respect to their approaches to international arbitration. Several jurisdictions are moving in the right direction by creating an increasingly consistent set of precedents: Chile, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, and Peru have adopted arbitration laws that lead to increasing consistent enforcement of foreign awards and avoid review of the merits of arbitral decisions.
The thorniest problems occur in commercial arbitration proceedings that involve state entities or state interests. In those cases, courts have had the greatest difficulty in isolating international arbitration from the traditional views and interests of the public. When some form of public interest is involved, the role of local courts in reviewing arbitral decisions is less well-settled.
Over the next few years, the number of arbitrations that take place in Latin America is certain to continue to grow. There is an expanding pool of fine lawyers in the region with the expertise to handle complex commercial arbitrations. The proceedings can be conducted more efficiently, including less money, in Latin America than in the traditional arbitration centers in Paris or London. For the first time, five jurisdictions in the region are competing to become the regional center for international arbitration: Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Peru. Some of these countries start receiving cases that are truly international that involve involving regional participants. An increasing number of cases are being heard by local arbitration centers in the region, rather than in ad-hoc proceedings. This development is likely to facilitate the harmonization of procedural rules and other norms. Significant challenges and legal questions remain, especially with respect to the resolution of disputes that involve state interests. How those challenges will be met by the global arbitration community and local jurisdictions will become clear over the coming years.

IT COULD be the ultimate stress ball for spies. An invisible ink creates secret messages on bendy plastic that are only revealed when you give it a squeeze.
Jianping Ge of the East China Normal University in Shanghai and his colleagues embedded an array of silica crystals in a plastic gel. The crystals reflect light at a certain wavelength depending on their spacing, so the relaxed gel appears green, but squeezing or stretching it turns it blue or red.
The team then coated the surface with another gel, and put a cut-out of a secret image on top. They shone ultraviolet light on the set-up, which linked the two gels around the cut-out. Once the cut-out was removed, its silhouette only appeared when the gels were squeezed (Advanced Functional Materials, doi.org/f2tmtp).
Ge says the technique could protect against counterfeit goods in the form of "anti-fake labels".

What's the least amount of sleep you've ever got?
The shortest I had at one point was 5 hours and never lost energy that day.
Most Helpful Opinion
At moments I just did 24 hours without sleep:
-working all night and restarting at 8 pm without hitting my bed.
All work, no fun.
It happened when I was at the university (studying)
and it happened when I was ROTC in the army.(moving , exercising during daylight, moving or going to staf meetings in the middle of the night , happy to find time to eat something between activities.
Later on the job, coming home around 10 or 11pm, eating something, some attention for my wife , a bit at the pc then to bed until 5:30...
One gets used to it.
What Girls Said 8
No hours, or 10 min I actually end up buzzing (feeling wide awake) and then crashing at about 7pm. When I started at uni (and was determined to both go out and get to my 9am's) I would have had about 3hrs for between 2-3 nights a week. What can I say. I work hard, I party hard, I sacrifice sleep.
What Guys Said 8

Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.
Tonight will be a big test for Leake. If he rolls through StL, I'll be very impressed.
Reds Fan Since 1971
If he has a quality start, I'd be impressed.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
If he's impressive, I'll be impressed. :O)
Good example of regression to the mean happening tonight. A .282 BAA before tonight was an indicator of that.

Financial aid for Canadians studying in the U.S?
Does anybody know of any scholarships for Canadians that want to study in the U.S?
Specifically, I was wondering if Ringling offered any. The school lists some scholarships on their site, but they don't mention anything for international students.
Because seriously, paying over $10,000 a semester is crazy.

I just checked out your gallery. I gather you're attending university right now.
Are you in a BFA program? You have a good feeling for design, but there are some basic representational sill sets missing. If you can figure out how to get those skills, either by taking individual specific courses or finding one program that offers them, you may not need to involve yourself in another degree program.
I'd finish the degree you almost have (you've already invested 3 and a half years!), and then make a plan to get the skills you lack. What is your career goal? If you're still in the GTA, and depending on your goals, there may be some good workshops available. I'd be happy to share whatever information I have. There are many skilled people teaching privately.

The DNR's sudden cancellation of the contract with the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation to run the Center was done WITHOUT ANY public input. This goes against the DNR's own policies, which also require a Master Plan be approved by the Natural Resources Board. The DNR has not developed a Master Plan for these changes, nor sought any input from the local community and participating schools and groups.
The DNR cancelled the contract with the required 6 months notice which means the last day is August 15, 2013. The DNR press release http://dnr.wi.gov/news/breakingnews_lookup.asp?id=2658 shows the DNR was ONLY concerned about continuing the classes through this summer. There is no way a new "vendor" starting on August 15th 2013, could set up a program for school children, get it approved by all the schools and schedule all the classes in time for the 2013-2014 school year. This means 16,000 school children will miss out on their environmental education next school year.
The DNR has not mentioned the 35 animals in the MacKenzie Center's wildlife exhibit. There are 23 species of non-releasable native Wisconsin wildlife, including large carnivores, ungulates, and raptors. These animals require specialized diets, veterinary care, and enrichment. 6 months is not enough time for the DNR to plan for their care or placement
The DNR contract with the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation to run the MacKenzie Center's environmental education program costs $185,000 and it has not increased during the period of the contract.
The extra $100,000 mentioned by the DNR is the cost to mothball (heat, cool, plow) the facility which would have to be paid even if the building is empty.

Now I kinda feel we both copped out a bit, we didn't head north to visit Auchwitz as we had planned from Czech Republic so we could make tracks to see my friend in Bulgaria. But with the brakes and then the tickets for the MotoGP and the clutch failure put us back a few days and deep down I knew that we would be pushing it to get down to Bulgaria and enjoy ourselves in the process. I imagined travelling on unpaved roads once we passed through Bosnia and Serbia & Montenegro. In the middle of nowhere, being out of my comfort zone, I was looking forward to the adventure, but I was a little sad if I'm honest. On top of that I felt like I was letting my friend Geoff down. I text him to let him know that I didn't think we would make it and I would call him as soon as I had enough battery charge in my phone.
The glass; half full or half empty?
We put the disappointment behind us even though I still had a heavy heart at times, but the glass is always got to be half full! What's more there is always next year.
We were on our holiday and we had just over a week left!
After a lazy day of Snorkelling, a pedlo ride and then a blast on a jetski, the following morning we packed up and hit the road, hindsight is a great thing, and in hindsight we should have gone south maybe onto Dubrovnik, but we went north.
Back through Slovenia and into Italy, along the way I got talking to an Austrian guy who mentioned the Dolomites, the Dolomites it was.
We passed through many mountain passes one in particular was 15 miles long with hairpin after hairpin and I really had to concentrate although I did have a chuckle to myself a few times at the madness of it all
The Dolomites were getting closer and closer
We found a campsite right at the foot of the awsome scenery in the Dolomites National Park, a place called Cortina d' Ampezzo.
We set up camp and this is what we were surrounded by
The following day would be my Big Four Oh and I couldn't think of a better place to wake up in

It's official this day I woke up another year older the Big Four Oh had caught up with me finally. Did I feel any different? No way, I still feel like a teenager most days What a place to wake up in though eh? Dwarfed by the mountain range which was starting to basque in the early morning sun, blue skies and the woman I love! Happy Days!!
Now the previous night we nipped into town and while we were there we bought some food for breakfast, nothing fancy just the usual fresh bread, a couple of portions of butter and some eggs for a change.
There's nothing like boiled egg sarnies to start the day.
Notice the dry bread? This is the nice butter we bought
Turns out that the nice butter was in fact ......... Yeast
Ah well never mind eh?
Jack looking to see where we should be going
We decided to start heading north west, no particular destination, just a steady ride and we'd stop when we'd had enough. As it was my birthday today we were going to treat ourselves to a hotel 8-)
These are just a few of the pictures as we passed over and through the Dolomites. Once again the vistas were awesome and if there's one place you want to go and visit in Europe it's the Dolomites.
We continued on as it was quite chilly up on the top of the mountain range, the roads were fantasic once again weaving their way through the mountains. There were literally hundreds of bikers out on all various machines, right across the range from sports bikes to Harleys' to tourers. On one of the roads I found a perfect spot for the official "star jump" picture. It only took Jack about 8 attempts to get it right, but we got there in the end
Just a couple of the nearlys'
As we were getting ready to set off, Jack hooked up her intercom lead before getting on the bike. Just as she was doing this I told her I was going to move up a little where the ground was less slippy.............. I nearly took her head off as I dragged her just a few yards Luckily I she wasn't hurt and luckily I didn't know what I'd done as I would have probably dropped the bike from laughing so hard. We were both in stitches, all the mic and ear phones had been torn out of the helmet too
We headed for Austria, and on the way the blue skies gave way to menacing looking clouds, we stopped just after the border to put our waterproof gear on as it was a case of when and not if we would be riding through it.
Then it came, my only regret is not getting a picture of the horrendous weather conditions. The lightning started first followed by the crack of thunder, then the heavens opened and unleashed the most terrible rainstorm I've ever witnessed, we pulled off the road to seek some kind of shelter as the visibility was down to 4-5 yards. We found a garden centre where there were many cars who had done the same, but they were under the awning of the establishment, ducked under trying to get out of the rain. Why God only knows, but it made my blood boil Why oh why were these idiots parked under a shelter when they were in their tin cars all nice and dry? And we were huddled under the smallest corner trying to get a bit of shelter and to add insult to injury it started hailstoning, hail stones the size of M & Ms! And it hurt.
After 10 minutes or so it slowed down and the hailsones stopped, so we made our way out onto the road soaked to the bone. We made our way towards Innsbruck under the grey skies, we passed through a small town where the fire crews were directing traffic, the manhole covers had blown and as we finally passed through many people were bailing out their houses where the rain had obviously flooded them.
At around 16.30 I'd had enough, we were both wet and it was getting cold, I'd made a couple of wrong turns and I was starting to get a bit stressed out so we spotted a hotel in the village of Telfs west of Innsbruck.
We had a much welcomed hot bath and we had a few beers before a nice meal in the hotel restaurant. Mixed grill for me.
Jack had a big bowl of pasta washed down with a large glass of red wine.
Getting ready to hit the road.
The following day the clouds were still looming and you couldn't see the tops of the mountains for them.
As we travelled further north west the clouds began to fade away and it started to get warmer and we welcomed it too
The roads were still fantastic too, Austria like many of the other places we visited along the trip was beautiful too, you don't really think of these countries to be places for holidays other than for skiing, but I will definately return one day.
Time for a brew and a look at the map.
We were told along the way by a German couple about a place called Bodensee, a large lake which splits Switzerland and Germany, they sold it to us and thats where we headed for.

So we headed for Bodensee, now from what I can gather Bodensee is the name of an area/region around Lake Constance, the north side is German, the South side is Switzerland. Since we would be heading into Germany we decided to visit the south side and tick another country off. We tried a few campsites, and finally got one in a town called Romanshorn a stones throw from the lake.
I didn't get many pics here, we just chilled out and enjoyed the sunshine.
The following day we moved north and headed for the Black Forrest in Germany. The scenery was changing as we moved along, the mountain range was getting smaller, but they were still impressive and covered with huge pine trees which was the beginning of the Black Forrest. Once again the roads were a mix of twisties and fast flowing bends cut into the forrest and hills, the echo and roar of the big V-twin sent shivers down my spine an many occasions as I just soaked up the views.
We stopped for lunch and as we ate I just looked at the bike parked up with a huge sense of pride. Although we had a minor problem with the clutch it was still a great bike and I loved it!
I never noticed the reflection in the window until one of my sons pointed it out, pretty cool me thinks
We found a campsite in the small town of Seelbach and began the familiar process of setting up camp. Once the tent was pitched we headed into town for some provisions AKA beer and food
When we were pitching out tent I noticed a stack of bricks and we decided we'd have a BBQ, it was red hot with the temperature well into the high 30s'
So it was beer time while Jack took a shower Notice the garage in the background here? More on that in a while.
It was so hot, luckily there was a cold water tap close by.

Now take note! You can't have a BBQ without a good stick
Tucking in
While we were eating an old Dutch couple were having a walk round the campsite with their two grand children, at a guess they were 8 and 10 years old. The young boys eyes lit up when they saw the bike and were pretty shocked when they realised we were from England. They were pointing to the food on the BBQ and kept saying "chicken" "chicken" but their big eyes returned to the bike. I showed them a few photos on my phone from an off road trip to Wales earlier on in the year, big smiles appeared on the faces and with a wave and a "thankyou" they disappeared. I know we were not in the middle of some remote place say in Africa, but for me this experience was priceless.
We'd had our fill and the customery bottle of wine and we turned in for the night, then it happened............... Similar to the numb nut who parked right behind us at Brno. I thought we'd had another as I heard some noise and then bright lights in the middle of the night, I looked at my watch and it was 1.30, surely not again? Then it happened again and I realised what it was... Thunder, loud thunder, then the lights I saw was obviously the lightning. I lay for a while longer then the rain came drumming on the tent in surround sound, it was loud. Jack woke and we decided to go take shelter in the garage and I would wheel the bike down too and keep it out of the rain.
I tried to capture some lightning with the camera and after many attempts and black sky I got these.
The camera in the same position
The storm last for about an hour or so, before it started to move on, about time too!
The next morning I had a wander up to the shop and bought some food for breakfast.
This little fella seemed a bit miffed that we'd got a bit of honey!
We packed up our gear and moved on, but where to??

MATHEMATICAL EXCURSIONS, Third Edition, teaches students that mathematics is a system of knowing and understanding our surroundings. For example, sending information across the Internet is better understood when one understands prime numbers; the perils of radioactive waste take on new meaning when one understands exponential functions; and the efficiency of the flow of traffic through an intersection is more interesting after seeing the system of traffic lights represented in a mathematical form. Students will learn those facets of mathematics that strengthen their quantitative understanding and expand the way they know, perceive, and comprehend their world. We hope you enjoy the journey.

A health department official has criticized a free-breakfast program for New York City schoolchildren, saying free food may make them obese. Health official Gretchen Van Wye said some kids were eating two breakfasts, which could make them fat. Anti-hunger activist Joel Berg called that concern "preposterous," saying that most poor kids had no breakfast, not two.
On Sunday, Princess Charlotte was christened at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Sandringham, the same church where her grandmother, Princess Diana, was baptized.
Her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, pushed her to the church in a pram once used by Queen Elizabeth, and it was the first time the Duke and Duchess were seen in public with both Princess Charlotte and her older brother, Prince George, the BBC reports. Thousands of people greeted the family upon their arrival, along with guests Queen Elizabeth, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall, and Michael, Carole, Pippa, and James Middleton.
Princess Charlotte wore a replica of the christening gown made for Queen Victoria's eldest daughter in 1841, and the silver gilt Lily Font, usually shown as part of the crown jewels at the Tower of London, was used during the ceremony. Later, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hosted a tea, serving slices of a tier from their wedding cake as the christening cake. While the day was all about Princess Charlotte, Prince George — as usual — stole the show, as the pictures below attest. Catherine Garcia
On Sunday, Pope Francis arrived in Ecuador, the first stop on his tour of South America that will include visits to Bolivia and Paraguay.
The pontiff, born in Argentina, is visiting three of the poorest and smallest countries on the continent just weeks after releasing his encyclical calling on leaders to hear "the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor" due to climate change. "From the peak of Chimborazo to the Pacific coast, from the Amazon rainforest to the Galapagos Islands, may you never lose the ability to thank God for what he has done and is doing for you," he said upon his arrival. "May you never lose the ability to protect what is small and simple, to care for your children and your elderly, to have confidence in the young, and to be constantly struck by the nobility of your people and the singular beauty of your country."
Tens of thousands of people lined the streets as Pope Francis made his way to Quito, Reuters reports, with many waving flags featuring his picture and others throwing gifts. On Monday, he will deliver a mass in the coastal city of Guayaquil, and on Wednesday, he will fly to Bolivia to visit the Palmasola prison and is expected to speak up for the rights of indigenous people. While in Paraguay, the pope will meet with several social activists. Catherine Garcia
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis tied the knot this weekend, a source tells People.
Kutcher, 37, and Kunis, 31, met while filming That '70s Show, which ran from 1998 to 2006. In August, Kunis told W magazine, "My first real kiss ever was with him on the show. We all get movie star crushes. I'm marrying mine." The pair began dating in 2012, and became parents to daughter Wyatt Isabelle in October. It's the first marriage for Kunis, and the second for Kutcher, who divorced Demi Moore in 2013. Catherine Garcia
The finance minister of Greece, Yanis Varoufakis, announced on his website that he has resigned from his post, one day after 61 percent of voters backed his "no" campaign, rejecting the bailout terms set by creditors.
"Like all struggles for democratic rights, so too this historic rejection of the Eurogroup's 25th June ultimatum comes with a large price tag attached," he wrote in a blog entry posted early Monday. "It is, therefore, essential that the great capital bestowed upon our government by the splendid NO vote be invested immediately into a YES to a proper resolution — to an agreement that involves debt restructuring, less austerity, redistribution in favour of the needy, and real reforms."
Varoufakis said that the reason why he was leaving his position was due to a "certain preference by some Eurogroup participants, and assorted 'partners,' for my ... 'absence' from its meetings; an idea that the Prime Minister judged to be potentially helpful to him in reaching an agreement." He added, "I consider it my duty to help Alexis Tsipras exploit, as he sees fit, the capital that the Greek people granted us through yesterday's referendum. And I shall wear the creditors' loathing with pride." Catherine Garcia
A suicide bomber killed at least five people at a church in Nigeria Sunday, the latest in a string of attacks carried out over the past week by Boko Haram.
Dozens killed as female Boko Haram suicide bombers blow themselves up in Nigeria http://t.co/T8sSyMyG1P pic.twitter.com/5xDNIEAc7M

The worshippers were killed as they entered the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Potiskum, the BBC reports. More than 200 people have been killed since Tuesday, including more than 97 people gunned down in the village of Kukawa on Wednesday and 48 men shot after prayers in two villages near the town of Monguno. On Thursday, two female suicide bombers killed several people as they attacked a village in Borno state.
Since Boko Haram first started launching attacks in 2009, at least 17,000 people, primarily civilians, have been killed. Catherine Garcia
Due to the 4th of July holiday, there wasn't a new Last Week Tonight Sunday, but host John Oliver was nice enough to give his fans a little something to tide them over until July 12. In a web only clip, Oliver did the opposite of what he normally does — instead of covering one topic over 15 minutes in a deep dive, he looked at 15 topics in one minute for a series of shallow dives. He touched on everything from banjos ("they're just guitars whose parents are cousins") to bagels ("donuts that gave up on their dreams"), and hinted that next week, it's very likely he'll be back to business, taking on the TPP. Watch the clip below. (Warning: There's a bit of strong language and some risqué images). Catherine Garcia
After Listeria was found in a sample of chicken freeze-dried patties, pet food maker Stella & Chewy's voluntarily recalled several products for dogs and cats.
The company has a full list of recalled dinners and treats on its website. "The health and safety of our customers and their pets is always of the utmost importance to us," Stella & Chewy's said on Facebook. "We are accountable for everything we make and highly committed to the quality and integrity of our products. We are working with the FDA to further investigate and quickly address the situation."
Listeria causes flu-like symptoms in healthy people, including headache and nausea, and can be deadly for children and the elderly. Stella & Chewy's says that there have been no reports of illnesses in people or animals. Consumers who have pet food that is part of the recall should throw it away or return the item to where they purchased it for a full refund. Catherine Garcia

Nintendo has become Mr. Predictable when it comes to weekly releases for the Wii's online game services WiiWare and the Virtual Console. This week, however, the publisher add some unpredictability to the proceedings, teasing "a fun surprise coming soon for all our fans." The teaser came with a clue:
"From AZ to NC, if you're a fan, your applause could rattle your walls, windows, door. You might enjoy this news whether you live in a brick house or Vanderbilt dorm. Even people living along Route 286 in rural Pennsylvania ought to be excited. It'll feel like a bunch of birthday greetings and, really, who could ask for more?"
And, of course, Nintendo also revealed the Wii's newest additions. On WiiWare, Yuke's Company of America will exercise its newly established downloadable game arm with Evasive Space. Developed by High Voltage Software--better known as the studio behind the forthcoming The Conduit--Evasive Space is a top-down not-quite-shooter, in which players attempt to safely navigate away from hazards in an effort to collect items and ship upgrades. The game is available for 1,000 Wii points ($10).
The Virtual Console will power up the Vic Viper for another interstellar escapade in Life Force. A Gradius spin-off, Life Force offers six stages of horizontal and vertical top-down scroller shooting, where players must do battle against a variety of grotesque aliens while navigating their ship through hazardous environments. The game accommodates up to two players and runs 500 Wii points ($5).

Switzerland continues to see a robust economy, even if the leading KOF indicator fell to 0.99 after highs of 1.68 in September.
On other side, real and nominal wages continue to increase. As opposed to the KOF value, the UBS consumption indicator is rising. This shows that the internal economy is able to balance the weak external demand.
The employment level is rising thanks the increasing number of commuters and immigrants. Despite the weak KOF value, exporters are resilient: the exporter-driven SVME PMI is in positive territory, after falling to levels of 44 in November 2011. Until September, industrial production was strongly increasing, in particular sales to foreigners. As confirmed by the KOF, construction is stabilizing. This despite strong investments funds flooding out of Europe as a whole and despite the introduction of two regulatory measures on the Swiss housing boom.
At the end of 2012, the purchaser price index was strongly rising compared to the end of 2011 – due to weak oil prices and recession fear at the end of 2011 – but prices have come down now. Consumer prices are still negative YoY, but should rise over zero when the effect of the last year March's high oil prices and the FX rate-related deflationary effects are washed out. In the meantime Sweden and partially Norway have taken the place of Switzerland. Sweden is already starting a similar deflation caused by the FX rate like Switzerland in 2011.

Why do most guys hate the "friend zone" so much?
Why do most guys hate the "friend zone" so much? The friend zone means something different to women. It is a good place to be in. Yes, in most cases... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
"We believe that it's not all about the physical… but it's about the emotional. Friends are friends. Bottom line.." Well we are more about the physical. We are all about the visual. Don't get me wrong I have many female friends but that is only because most of them I could never date, or if she ever needed to get some, I wouldn't turn her down.
How would you like it if someone you were interested in, didn't want you but wanted to you to watch them go through a bunch of chicks (who you feel are not worthy) would you still want to be his friend?
I see your point. If I have a male friend and say we've been friends for a while (or not) but say I am interested/attracted to him romantically/sexually and decide to ask him out... say I do and he rejects me but says he wants to still stay friends with me. I would totally accept and understand that and would want to stay non-sexual/romantic friends with him. Yes, it wouldn't bother me to see him have a girlfriend and date other girls because I would understand that it was just not meant to be.
- Show Older Hide Older
I understand what you mean now. It's hard for a guy to stay in the "friend zone" after being rejected when asking her out on a date, because you would still have that attraction/interest in her and you can't shake that feeling away. It feels torturous to have that feeling yet know you will never have a chance with her and see her off with other guys. That's what you mean? Well, us girls don't want to torture you guys, we just want to keep you in our lives because we still really care about you.
What Guys Said 10
Why do girls hate the "friends with benefits or f*** buddy zone" so much? We guys believe it's not all about the emotional . . . but it's about the physical too. Sometimes we find a girl really, really hot and want to just bang her again and again, but we don't want to deal with relationship drama or her emotional issues. Hot sex is hot sex. Bottom line. It should be a complement to how desirable we see the girl as a sex partner.
Does that sound reasonable? If it does, then I can buy into your arguement on the virtues of the friend zone. These two arrangements are exactly the same.
No I totally don't think all girls hate the fb friends with benefits scene. My lady friend and I are kinda in that phase now, because she's going through a divorce and we're on the down low. The catch for us is that we're long distance, but in some ways I guess she's keeping it subconscientiously fair. I want to be there for her emotionally and listen to her, but she's not always talkative. And of course we're not always banging either lol. The point being is that a lot of women don't wanna think about their feelings or problems 24/7 or talk about them. So the fb and probably more so the friends with benefits scene is great for them because they can just escape into their man's world and forget reality for a short time. And I get that! :D So it's a win win. It just takes A LOT of patience and dicipline, but like her and I discussed if it's real we'll keep coming back to each other.
There's a lot of confusion for women that guys may not know and its hard for women to explain that to guys when theyre confused themselves.
men that hate the friend zone, don't understand the friendship ladder theory that have become synonymous with women, and it's actually their fault for falling into that trap dilemma...all that we ask of you is that you be upfront about it and we won't try anything until you change otherwise, which does happen in some situations
I understand what you are saying. Thanks for your input. :)

Not saying that guys don't have emotions, but biologically girls are more emotional that guys and have a easier time sharing and expressing their emotions than guys do. I think part of it is society and part of it is biology that guys are not as emotional as girls. But I agree with you that society says that they are not "supposed" to feel as much emotion as girls.
Therefore girls hug all their girl friends when greeting them, but if guys were to hug all their guy friends when greeting them (which some do a "man" hug), they would be labeled gay (but not all the time). I know. It is just supposedly not the "masculine" thing to do. Yes, I totally see your point girl. Yes, it's all pressure. Fear of rejection. But then again, rejection is a part of society that I believe is not fun, but just a part of it we have to accept and understand and it helps us be stronger and move on.
It's simple. If a man wants you sexually/romantically and you turn him down you're telling him he's not good enough for you. Sure he's good enough as a friend but he doesn't see you that way. He will ALWAYS want to be with you. He wi ALWAYS want tk have sex with you. And there's nothing worse than wanting that, and the girl you want makes you watch her go through other men while he sits and waits for you to either change your mind or let your guarddown. My bbelief is that no man or woman that are both heterosexual can co exist as friends without one of them being sexually attracted to the other. In my experience that has always proven true
Being in the "friend zone" to me means that I can try as hard as I'd like, I'd never get you, even tho I have feelings for you and we're extremely close.
I understand what you mean. But at least you would still be friends with this girl and care for her too, just like she would still care for you too. I mean, you can't change a girl's mind when she says she's not interested, but if she wants to stay friends, then that's better than nothing. A good friendship is always good, in my opinion. But I understand that it would be hard since you would still have deeper feelings for her and as hard as you want to try, you know you will never have her.
For a lot of guys, when they get hurt by getting rejected, they want revenge. As you said, if a woman rejects a guy friend and he drops her as a friend, it hurts her, and that's part of the reason why the guy does it, because it's a quick, simple form of revenge. Also, being around her might remind them too much of her rejecting them.
Thanks for your answer. Makes sense. But point is, revenge is a bad thing. In ANY case, that is what I believe at least. The girl is not trying to hurt the guy by rejecting him. He should understand and accept the FACT that she will NOT be interested/attracted to every guy in the world in a sexual/romantic way, and want to date them/have a relationship with them. He should know that that is not realistic and that should make him more understanding and accept that she is not trying to hurt him.

I would understand that were are human and not perfect and forget things from time to time and would totally forgive her for that and accept and appreciate her apology, knowing she wasn't doing that intentionally by not keeping to her word.
I think that it's great that whenever you get romantic rejection you feel down and hurt but don't have ill feelings toward the girl and want to cause her pain or revenge at her. I think it's wonderful that you practice forgiveness, and I do too. Yes, I know it's in the bible and it's the example set by Christ. Yes, I agree that there is nothing to forgive for romantic rejection, unless the rejection itself was rude. Exactly, I agree with you on that.
I just got the "I can only be friends" card pulled on me. I'll offer you my personal perspective. This girl and I had a fling last year before she moved a 1000 miles away. We kept in touch and I even visited her once. Everytime we were face to face we kissed and did things beyond friendship. There were times where we didn't talk because we probably moved on but she always would pull me back in. We didn't talk for 3 months before her return home. She started reaching out to me and we went on one date the second day she was home. It was great until I went for a kiss...denied. Then she sends me an email saying she can only be my friend. I sent her a reply and basically said I can't be that for her knowing I want more.
The reason I had to turn down that friendship even though she is someone I care about a great deal and enjoy her company is that I knew I would just be causing myself pain in the future. I didn't want to be there for when she met a new guy.
Another thing for me was that I felt used. I became someone she contacted when she was upset or down and I was someone that made her feel better. It was hard to accept a situation where I'm this person that she loves to be around, share feelings with and uplifts her but all I get to be is her friend. If our relationship was just that the entire time then fine, but we had crossed those lines and I never lost those feelings for her. I'm a great guy and I want to be that for the right girl but I can't let myself offer up the best of me to someone that won't return that. Its too painful.
Maybe sometime it has to do with a guy being bitter but I think a lot its because they realize they are in a situation that can only cause them pain.
Feels Bro, Those Feels. :/
Oh wow, well I'm glad I found a place like this, because you hit the nail on the head. I'm not sure if this is a little more complicated, because that always seems like an objective word to me. I have a lady friend that we reconnected with. We hadn't talked for the past 9 years and she reached out to me, so of course I befriended her again. We had a brief history back then, but now she's going through a divorce. We both have feelings for each other and have both agreed that we want to be friends first. Well I went over there and we spent some time together and of course we were intimate. She's actually coming over to my town for Labor Day. I want to be there for her but there are times where I think I'm just trying too hard when she wants to figure things out for herself. It's real hard to not be pushy or to not be too distant. Somedays it's great and others I feel like she's ignoring me. Right now I'm here because I want to learn on my own about all this craziness.
Well lets put it this way, for a girl the guy she friendzoned would go like this:
Girls point of view: "Oh wow a guy who understands me and likes me for who I am, I can tell we'll be great friends because we have so much in common."
Guys point of view: "Hmmm, so she doesn't want to be more than just friends? I think there's that spot for me in the seventh circle of hell that I would rather sit in than go through being friendzoned."
Sorry ladies but this is probably going through 99% of guys brains.
Here's my take on this friendzone fb friends with benefits crap. First it feels like a label, and people on both sides really don't like that to start. Secondly none of these scenarios really says 2 way street does it? Someone is getting fucked and it's not with the jelly. With the friendzone the girl gets the rewards because she gets the emotional out of it especially if the guys a great listener. The friends with benefits or fb the guy is getting the most cause honestly how often are you talking about your problems in the middle of horizontalizing? So if you've already been intimate and this happens on either side, the best thing is either both aggreeing to communicate, or just being patient and find a good distraction. And whatever you do, NEVER, NEVER associate this new distraction between you both unless you both want it. Cause if you both DONT want it, you're talkin manipulation, mistrust, betrayal... whole effin can of worms there.
now explain, fwb? hahahahhahahahah
Friends with benefits is a totally different story. They are not in a relationship yet still sexual with each other. I don't support that, but it's a free world and like I said, I respect people who chose friends with benefits. It's just something I would NEVER do.

BP Says It Complied With U.S. Safety Order on Texas Explosion
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 23 September 2009 14:14
BP Plc says it's met its commitments to the U.S. government to improve safety at the Texas City, Texas, refinery, following an explosion in 2005 that killed 15 workers and injured hundreds.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has given BP until tomorrow to meet terms of an agreement reached in 2005 to make the improvements. In a letter to BP dated Aug. 3, OSHA said BP's failure to make the improvements would "constitute a failure to comply" with the settlement.

Raymond S. Keniston, Sr., 92
RUMNEY — Raymond S. Keniston, Sr., 92, of Rumney, passed away at Speare Memorial Hospital, in Plymouth, on Wednesday, June 18, 2014.
A lifelong resident of Rumney, Raymond was born on November 22, 1921 to George L. and Bertha (Watts) Keniston.
He began his logging career at age 16 with his first truck. Later, he operated his sawmill in Rumney, starting with a steam engine, his life-long dream. He was a member of the Odd Fellows. Raymond enjoyed planting trees for the Rumney Common, Library, and family. His retirement hobby making wooden spoons was a gift enjoyed by many.
His many years spent at the sawmill taught him the value of efficiency and organization. With an eighth grade education, he did all of the bookkeeping at home after work.
As an avid outdoorsman, he loved hunting and fishing, taking two trips to Alaska for salmon fishing. He also loved time spent at his camps in Pittsburg and New Brunswick.
Raymond was a generous, humble, and intelligent man, a teacher at heart. He was always asking questions and looking for a better way to do things.
Raymond was preceded in death by his newborn son, George.
He is lovingly survived by his wife, Ila (Bixby) Keniston, who tirelessly cared for him for 74 years. He will be missed by his three daughters, Nancy and her companion Harold Avery, Sally and her companion Ron Linke, Kelley and her husband Len Anderson; son, Raymond S. Keniston, Jr.; seven grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, five great-great-grandchildren, and his 100 year old cousin, Phyllis Pray.
In lieu of flowers, please consider planting a tree in Raymond's memory. Donations may be made to Speare Memorial Hospital in gratitude for their loving care given to Raymond and his family during his illness.
A funeral service will be held at Mayhew Funeral Home (12 Langdon St.), Plymouth, on Saturday, June 21, 2014 at 11 am. Rev. Brenda Wentworth will officiate. Interment will be private.
Mayhew Funeral Homes & Crematorium of Meredith and Plymouth are handling the arrangements. For Raymond's Book of Memories: www.mayhewfuneralhomes.com

Lola R. Cutillo, 90
LACONIA — Lola Rose (Valentini) Cutillo, 90, of 21 Ledges Drive, Taylor Community, died at her home on Monday, June 16, 2014. Mrs. Cutillo was the widow of Ralph Cutillo who died in 2002.
Mrs. Cutillo was born November 26, 1923 in Taunton, Mass., the daughter of the late Adolpho and Maria (Agostini) Valentini. Mrs. Cutillo was a longtime resident of the Lakes Region and was a former communicant of Our Lady of the Lakes Church, Lakeport.
She will be remembered most for her vibrant personality and for being the cornerstone of her family. She will be missed tremendously for her storytelling, her sense of humor, the color she brought to everyone around her and the love and affection she unconditionally gave. A true matriarch, she was like a second mother to many and valued her family and friends more than anything. She loved old movies, children, reading, fashion and was a huge Patriots and Red Sox fan.
She and her late husband, Ralph, developed many restaurants and resorts in hospitality where she often worked as a bookkeeper and hostess. In 1968, they purchased Steele Hill Resorts in Sanbornton, N.H., and developed the 520 acres. In 1977, the Cutillo family brought timesharing to Steele Hill, which brought many tourists and employees to the Lakes Region.
Survivors include two sons and daughters-in-law, Stephen W. and Susan C. Cutillo of Gilford, N.H. and William F. and Susan B. Cutillo of Sanbornton, N.H.; three grandchildren, Catherine Remy Cutillo and her husband, Ross Sheehan, of Vergennes, Vt. and Douglas Cutillo and his wife, Dewina, of Concord, N.H. and Justin Cutillo and his wife, Michelle, of Gilford, N.H.; two great granddaughters, Eliana Cutillo of Concord and Remy Sheehan of Vergennes, Vt., and a brother, Henry Valentini, of Florida.
Calling hours will be held on Monday, June 23, 2014 from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Carriage House of the Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N. H.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 at 10 a.m. at St. Andre Bessette Parish at St. Joseph Church, 30 Church Street, Laconia, N.H.
Burial will follow in the Cutillo Family Cemetery, Steele Hill, Sanbornton, N.H.
For those who wish, the family suggests that memorial donations be made to Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice, 780 North Main Street, Laconia, NH 03246.
Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements. For more information and to view an online memorial go to www.wilkinsonbeane.com.

San Francisco, CA - Whether chemotherapy is given before or after breast-conserving therapy (BCT) does not have an impact on long-term local-regional outcomes, suggesting treatment success is due more to biologic factors than chemotherapy timing, according to a study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Presented today at the 2011 Breast Cancer Symposium, the study also found that neoadjuvant chemotherapy (given before surgery), often shrinks breast cancer tumors, making them more likely to be treatable with BCT, or a lumpectomy to remove a portion of the breast followed by radiation.
"Even women who present with clinical Stage 2 or 3 breast cancer may have good results with BCT after chemotherapy and not need a mastectomy," said Elizabeth Ann Mittendorf, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Surgical Oncology and lead author of the study. "The molecular characteristics of the tumor and other factors have an impact on treatment success, but not the order in which chemotherapy and surgery are given."
The retrospective study of almost 3,000 women treated for breast cancer at MD Anderson from 1987 to 2005 also confirmed several prior studies showing BCT offers high rates of cancer control for certain patients.
Approaches have similar outcomes
Of the patients surveyed, 78 percent had surgery before chemotherapy and 22 percent received chemotherapy first. Overall, women with more cancers that had more adverse prognostic factors tended to be treated with chemotherapy first.
Five and 10-year local-regional recurrence-free survival rates were excellent for both groups: 97 percent and 94 percent respectively for those who had surgery before chemotherapy, 93 percent and 90 percent for patients who received chemotherapy first.
Mittendorf said that if adverse features, such as stage and grade of the cancer, age of the patient and tumor hormone expression, were f

Description of the Racquet
The NEW Black Knight Storm XT uses Thin-K technology in a fast and powerful bridged frame. It is a high end tour frame with great wide sweet spot to give consistent hitting. The shaft is stiff, less so than the power surge frame, giving more comfort. With a Dynamic Weight of 130 and a frame weight of 135g, the Black Knight Storm XT has a head light balance. Rated as stiff, it is strung with Ashaway PowerNick 19 string for better bite on the ball and less air resistance. RAD Mesh on the handle is ideal for a secure long lasting grip on this great racquet.
More Information
Need Help Selecting a Racquet? SquashGalaxy Exclusive Racquet Ratings.
If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.
Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Squash Galaxy Wrap Grip. We've been in the business a long time and always get requests on what our favorite wrap grip is for squash so we went out and made our own! The Squash Galaxy Wrap grip has a smooth and extremely tacky feel and is the appropriate length and size for any squash racquet on the market. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

I started riding two years ago...at age 42. After being diagnosed with borderline / pre diabetes I realized I probably wasn't going to live forever as previously planned. I had always wanted to ride so I thought I'd better get started. My only riding experience was on a 50 or 90cc minibike and a small dirtbike as a pre-teen, and on a rented scooter on a Greek Island in the 80's.
My first bike was a Honda Shadow VLX600 cruiser. Since then I've had a Buell XB9SL, a Ducati Monster 800, and a BMW F650GS. I currently have a Buell XB9SX, a Harley Dyna Superglide, and a BMW Dakar. I use my late start as an excuse / rationalization for having had so many bikes in a short time frame...
Then the wife started riding.... it's been a revolving door of bikes around here while we have been trying to sort out our preferences. We both feel time is defintely NOT on our side. I wish I had started sooner, but I'm glad I didn't start in my teens or 20's. I've never been a reckless person, but wisdom does occasionally accompany age.....
It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.
