Philippine gov't raises economic targets
Publication Date : 23-06-2014
The Philippines' official macroeconomic forecasts were revised upwards this month as government officials aired a sense of optimism over the country's prospects over the next three years.
The inter-agency Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) disclosed the new set of economic assumptions, which all pointed to the sustained boom of the Philippine economy.
"We expect higher growth rates in the coming months. Consumption is still bullish, and spending will speed up," Economic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan told reporters late last Friday.
Balisacan said the government's gross domestic product (GDP) growth target for the year of 6.5 to 7.5 per cent was still attainable, despite a disappointing first-quarter expansion of 5.7 per cent.
"On the supply side, industries will recover because they were slower than expected. Services will grow faster," he said.
At the conclusion of the DBCC's semi-annual meeting, officials listed the revisions to forecasts on trade, growth and the foreign exchange market.
The country is now expected to import 9 per cent more this year than it did in 2013. This is better than the previous forecast of growth in imports of 6 per cent. For 2015, imports growth is expected to reach 10 per cent (better than the previous 7-per cent projection), and for 2016, imports are seen increasing by 12 per cent (versus the previous forecast of 9 per cent).
Higher imports are an indication of increased domestic spending since more active consumers demand more products, both from local producers and from overseas.
Balisacan said the better projections for imports were also due to reconstruction efforts in the Visayas to repair damage caused by Supertyphoon "Yolanda" late last
year. This rehabilitation was expected to take several years and over that time, increased importation for raw materials like steel and cement should be expected, the DBCC said.
Faster growth in imports is also indicative of the performance of the local exports sector, which economic managers were similarly bullish about. Some of the products exported by the country such as electronics are built partly using imported goods.
Growth projections for exports for 2014, 2015 and 2016 were kept at 6 per cent, 8 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively. A new forecast of a 12 per cent-growth in exports was announced for 2017.
The DBCC's trade projections were all anchored on the expectation that economic conditions in advanced markets like the United States, Japan and Europe, would continue to improve over the coming years.
"The global economy is improving and we expect that to continue," Balisacan said.
With economic conditions particularly in the United States improving, the DBCC decided to revise its assumption for the peso's value against the greenback. This year and in 2015, the peso's value is expected to average between 42 and 45 to $1, or weaker than the previous range of 41 to 43 to a dollar.

DENVER, CO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/19/14 -- National Teaching Institute (NTI) & Critical Care Exposition, Booth #1643 -- Nihon Kohden America, a market leader in patient monitoring innovation, is at NTI 2014 this week showcasing its Enterprise Monitoring Solution that helps save lives and makes high acuity and critical care nurses more effective. At NTI, Nihon Kohden America will also host several educational sessions as part of the Critical Care Exposition.
Nihon Kohden America's ExpoEd sessions are 30-minute educational, in-service-style learning opportunities covering topics that are relevant to high acuity and critical care. Presented by Nihon Kohden registered nurses, participants earn CERP credits for each session they attend.
Nihon Kohden America's ExpoEd sessions include:
- A Quick Guide to MI Patterns on the 12-Lead ECG - will describe proper electrode placement and the importance of their positions, identify the components and intervals of an ECG tracing, and teach how to practice a systematic approach to 12-lead ECG analysis for determining axis and basic MI patterns.
- Alarm Management and Nursing Best Practice - Decreasing Alarm Fatigue - will cover best practices and tactics to reduce alarm fatigue to improve patient safety and achieve positive clinical outcomes. Attendees will be exposed to alarm smoothing and intelligent alarm technology to assist in reducing nuisance alarms, thus making alarms clinically actionable.
- Capnography throughout the Hospital, Realizing Success while Improving Quality and Saving Costs - will discuss the growing number of standards that require the use of capnography monitoring in both critical care and those areas of the hospital with little or no experience with continuous vital sign monitoring. Attendees will learn the impact of these standards upon the critical care environment as well as overall hospital efficiencies.
Each session will be presented multiple times over the course of the Exposition. For a complete list of dates and times, visit the ExpoEd Sessions calendar or stop by Nihon Kohden America's booth (#1643).
"In addition to our patented patient monitoring solutions, we pride ourselves as being industry thought leaders," said Mike Dashefsky, vice president, Nihon Kohden America.

Recent reviews:
July 10, 2013 - I purchased this because I was curious regarding my loveable mutt's background, but did not want to waste money buying a test from Amazon. All of these panels are pretty expensive, and figured if I were going to shell out for something so frivolous, I at least wanted the money to go to a good cause (i.e., funding 84 bowls of food). We swabbed our Sweet Pea's cheeks, sent her sample in the mail, and got back the results: Supposedly, she is predominantly a mix of American Bulldog and Dachshund. I don't see either of those in her, as she is built similar to a whippet. I've heard that you can request a re-test and I have not done this, so perhaps they would be able to explain her results if I seek that out. Overall, I would only suggest you purchase this kit if you read a bit about sequencing and understand that this is not an exact science. It's fun, but ultimately, your money is probably better spent on something that actually has a practical application.

While our society is more connected than ever, we are still digitally distant from those who live closest to us - our neighbours.
Neighbourly, which was launched throughout New Zealand this month, is a social network that aims to change that by connecting people living in the same area.
The website and smartphone app allows you to post a notice, recommend a business or service, ask for help, have a chat or sell an item.
It aims to help satisfy the need people have to be part of a community on a local level in the same way Facebook does on a much bigger scale.
It hopes technology can be more efficient than the local noticeboard at the shop, word of mouth and the neighbourly chat.
Co-founder and managing director Casey Eden said there were a raft of networks to connect people in many aspects of life, but not with those living closest to them.
"In the past couple of years there is a need to be more aware of what is going on locally and having a network there when you need it."
He describes the site as a "news feed that people can contribute to", referring to the stream of information that displays posts.
His team had spent months fine-tuning the site to make it easy for people to connect in several ways and on different levels. You can "thank" (similar to Facebook's "like") a neighbour, chat privately with someone or form a group based on your street or shared interest.
You can also choose how much you engage. If you love to know everything going on in your area, you can sign up to several suburbs and your news feed will flow with lots of information. If you prefer a quieter connection, then you can just be part of a street group with the occasional update.
However, unlike the most popular social networks, Neighbourly is private - only those living in a suburb can join that suburb's group. Neighbourly ensures this by having a vetting procedure which is similar to Trade Me's.
People sign up, but to become vetted you need to wait to get a confirmation letter sent to your home. Eden said having people use their real names helped mitigate issues which could trouble social networks - nastiness and defamation. Also, posts are moderated.
One concern about revealing your goings-on online is a risk to your privacy. Could criminals be lurking on the site ready to pounce after you post that you are going on holiday?
Eden said the key was to use common sense. "If you wouldn't put it up on a lamppost outside your house, then don't put in on Neighbourly."
Users decide what information is made public. For example, they can opt to hide their street number from their profile and use private messages to convey sensitive information.
Eden said privacy could work both ways, in that by opening up to neighbours online it lets people know who you were so they could keep an eye out for you.
This is something that Eden hopes the site will do if there is ever another disaster such as the Christchurch earthquakes. One feature that can also help in these types of situations is being able to sign up to urgent alerts that are texted to users.
Eden said the most popular sections of the site so far were recommendations for services, especially babysitters.
Another popular feature is the crime and safety section which lets people post concerns or crimes. In one neighbourhood it even led to an arrest after a break- in. This digital version of neighbourhood watch also has the police and fire service as members so they can post advice and alerts.
The site launched in five suburbs in Auckland a few months ago and there are now 35 active neighbourhoods since it was made available nationwide last week.
But do we really need to get more connected to our neighbours? Statistics show we aren't popping over to borrow sugar from our neighbours as much as we think we do.
In its 2008 State of our Neighbourhoods study, Colmar Brunton found less than a third of people had regular communication with their neighbours. Just under half said they had an occasional chat, and 8 per cent admitted to having no idea who their neighbours were.
The figures dropped dramatically for the under-30 age group, who could be enticed by technology to connect.
However, Eden doesn't see Neighbourly competing with other popular social networks sites such as Facebook or Twitter.
"Neighbourly is a utility to use when you need it. It's not an entertainment site."

British government not to apply tobacco-firm levy
The British government has decided not to go ahead with the imposition of a levy on tobacco manufacturers and importers, according to a Reuters News story.
In December, the government said it was considering introducing such a levy, which would have been based on market share.
It launched a consultation to gather views on the idea but now says the consultation has shown that the cost would simply be passed on to consumers.
'Analysis of the responses shows that the impact of a tobacco levy on the tobacco market would be similar to a duty rise, with tobacco manufacturers and importers passing the levy onto consumer prices,' the government was quoted as saying.
The government seems to have a complex relationship with its tobacco consultations. Whereas in this case, it seems to have been swayed by the consultation findings, it is widely believed that the consultation it conducted into standardized packaging lacked transparency.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- The RHL Group, Inc., who kicked off the "Oscar®, Help Free Afridi, America's Abandoned Hero" campaign that appeared in the March 1st Oscars® Edition of The Hollywood Reporter, announced that a House Resolution, H. Res. 86, was introduced in Congress today. The resolution calls for the immediate release from custody by Pakistan of Dr. Shakil Afridi, the man who pinpointed the location of Osama bin Laden for the United States. Campaign underwriters Bob and Kira Lorsch have also been working tirelessly, appearing around the clock on network news television every day since the campaign first broke on February 21st.
The Resolution, brought by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), calls Dr. Afridi "a hero to whom the people of the United States owe a debt of gratitude" and requests his immediate release. The resolution is being co-sponsored by a group of bipartisan U.S. Congress members including Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Jim Gerlach (R-PA), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Brian Higgins (D-NY), Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Ted Poe (R-TX), Matt Salmon (R-AZ), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), Brad Sherman (D-CA) and Steve Stockman (R-TX). A website has been set up at www.freeafridi.com where concerned citizens can download a letter from Congressman Rohrabacher that explains what they can do to rally Congress, the U.S. State Department and the White House to help Free Afridi.
"I was in Washington for the State of The Union Address and to meet with the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology Subcommittee on Oversight regarding billions of dollars being spent on health information technology systems that do not deliver what they were supposed to do; specifically, interoperability and patient-controlled Personal Health Records. While in Washington I was asked to sit in on a meeting about Dr. Afridi. I was so moved by what I heard that I knew I needed to take action," said Lorsch, who is CEO of MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCQB: MMRF).
According to Kira Lorsch, President of The RHL Group, "Because of the Oscar® buzz surrounding our ad in The Hollywood Reporter for Dr. Afridi, Washington has an opportunity to make a fresh push from this campaign for Dr. Afridi's release. We hope this resolution will be passed swiftly so Washington won't have to produce 'Argo 2' to finally save this man from his horrific ordeal."
In a statement from Rep. Rohrabacher's Washington D.C. office today, the Congressman said, "All Americans owe Dr. Afridi a debt of gratitude for what he did to help us find Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice. He and his family have paid a terrible price at the hands of our so-called allies, the Pakistani government. We cannot continue to turn our back on Dr. Afridi. He risked his life to provide the intel our forces needed to locate and eliminate Osama bin Laden and he now languishes in a Pakistani prison serving a 33 year sentence. He has been tortured, his family has been attacked and he is still in a desperate situation. It behooves us as Americans to state in a unified voice to his Pakistani captors, Dr. Afridi should be freed."
To learn more about Dr. Afridi, go to www.freeafridi.com where you can request ribbons, find video and social media tools, and join the campaign to get your voice heard in Washington and throughout the world.

Previewing Lakers vs. Thunder Matchup
The Los Angeles Lakers will be going against the Oklahoma City Thunder for the third time this season and will try to get their first win against the first place team in the Western Conference. Despite coming of a win against the Utah Jazz, the Lakers are still having trouble finding their chemistry as a team and having the success that was expected of them this season.
The first meeting between these two teams was on December 7th and the Thunder dominated the entire game. At one point they were up by 20 points over the Lakers, but Los Angeles was able to close the gap in the fourth quarter only to 114-108. Kevin Durant led the way with 26 points, while Russell Westbrook also had a big night scoring 33 points.
The second meeting between these two teams was on January 11th in Los Angeles. Center Dwight Howard was out due to an injury and the Lakers weren't competitive at all throughout losing the game 116-101. Westbrook and Durant led the way again for the Thunder with 27 points and 10 assists for Westbrook and a game high 42 points scored by Durant.
It is obvious to tell that Durant and Westbrook have been dominating the Lakers this season. The key for a Lakers victory today is to slow these two down. This is much easier said than done as Los Angeles doesn't have anyone who can defend these two all-stars. Durant will be covered by Metta World Peace who at one time was a fantastic defender, but he has lost a step as of late and is no match for the younger more athletic Durant. The same thing can be said about Westbrook who will be guarded by Steve Nash or Kobe Bryant. If Nash is guarding, Westbrook would be able to blow by Nash and get into the lane at will as Nash has never been known as a great defender and is no match for the young Westbrook. Bryant can do his best to contain Westbrook, but Bryant too has lost a step and his defending skills aren't what they once were.
Another thing the Lakers must do to get the victory is slow down the Thunder. Oklahoma City plays just like D'Antoni wants his team to play, fast and efficient. The Thunder have a young team and a fast team that can play seven seconds or less style. They are a team that works better in the fast break rather than in a half court set. While the Lakers have mismatches on defense as noted earlier, it would still better for the Lakers to get Oklahoma City in a half court set rather than having them run the break.
On offense the Lakers need to slow things down as well. The Lakers have to control the pace of the game and they need to be slow and physical. Bryant needs to be a facilitator again like he was against the Jazz and the ball needs to be consistently fed into the low post with Howard and Pau Gasol. The Thunder are a great team on both sides of the ball so slowing down the pace keeping the score in the 90s is just what the Lakers need.
On paper this looks to be a good match-up, but in reality the edge goes to the Thunder in all phases of the game. However, the Lakers still have a shot at victory today if their defense can improve on the two stars Durant and Westbrook and the Lakers can dominate the low post.

BYU men's basketball releases 2014-15 nonconference schedule
Matt Gade, Deseret News
Three games in the Maui Invitational, home contests against Stanford and UMass and three games against in-state foes, including a home date against Utah, highlight the 2014-15 BYU men's basketball nonconference schedule released Tuesday.
The Cougars' nonconference slate will include seven home games, two on the road and four at neutral sites.
BYU opens play with its annual Cougar Tipoff on Oct. 29 that will be followed by two exhibition games on Nov. 1 and Nov. 8. Its regular season begins with a home matchup against Long Beach State on Nov. 14.
The Cougars will head to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational from Nov. 24-26. This year's Maui field includes Arizona, Chaminade, Kansas State, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Purdue and San Diego State.
BYU will play Stanford and UMass, a pair of NCAA tournament teams last season, on Dec. 20 and Dec. 23, respectively, in its final two games before West Coast Conference play begins. The Cougars played both teams on the road last season, defeating the Cardinal 112-103 at Maples Pavilion while falling to the ranked Minutemen 105-96.
The Cougars host rival Utah on Dec. 10, and will also play at Utah State (Dec. 2) and Weber State (Dec. 13).
Other games of interest include a neutral-site matchup with Hawaii at EnergySolutions Arena on Dec. 6 and BYU's first-ever matchup with Southern Virginia at the Marriott Center on Nov. 19.

The last photography craze to sweep the internet, known as 'planking', saw people balancing poker-straight on inanimate, often dangerous, objects.
But a new craze has gone viral whereby internet users picture themselves doing something even more risky - taking their heads off.
Photographs are beginning to flood the web showing seemingly beheaded people standing beside a detached head.
Scroll down for video
Where's your head at: The craze, known as horsemanning, has started to sweep the internet. The name is derived from the Headless Horseman
Craze: Horsemanning is not a new craze and is thought to have been performed in front of cameras since the 1920s
Ouch: People adopt humourous positions to make it appear they have been beheaded
With the swift death of 'planking' and 'owling', it was only a matter of time before 'horsemaning' had its moment once more.
Spurred by historical pictures of people cleverly posing as if they had been beheaded, internet users have flooded sites with their own takes on the concept.
The craze is a homage to the folklore character, the Headless Horseman.
The optical trick sees people positioning their bodies so that their head cannot be seen. Another person then positions themselves nearby, making it appear that the head has been detached.
Heads will roll: Whether it is going to work, or posing by the Great Wall of China, tricksters can easily seize the moment for a spot of horsemanning
Open wider: Horsemanning helps this man eat a slice of pizza while lying on his back
Head on a string: Internet users get the opportunity to show off their flexibility, with this woman bending backwards to hide her head
The set-up allows people room for improvisation, often with hilarious results.
But if the savvy photgraphers taking the snaps think they are being wholly original by partaking in the craze, they may want to think again.
Horsemanning dates as far back as the 1920s, when it was a popular way to pose for photographs.
Inventive users often use props such as sofas to perform the trick, but some are slightly darker, placing their headless bodies in machines and under cars.
It is the latest in a series of trends to take over message boards and forums.
Before 'planking', the internet was awash with people 'owling', whereby they would sit like the nocturnal bird in unusual positions.

Giraffe: One man shows off his take on horsemanning, or perhaps just a very long neck
Props: People often use sofas and chairs to get in the right positions to take the snaps

Riders trying out the zip line linking Pulau Gaya and Pulau Sapi near Kota Kinabalu.
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah now has the world's longest zip line – the bigger-scale version of the flying fox that enables users to traverse from the top to the bottom of a cable attached to a moving pulley – that will give the thrill of literally sailing from the air from one island to another at the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
Sabah Parks chairman Tengku Zainal Adlin Tengku Mahamood is scheduled to open the 250m-long zip line, linking Pualau Gaya and Pulau Sapi, today.
Set up by local firm Ropeskills Rigging Sdn Bhd, the zip line enables visitors to cross the narrow straits between both islands in about 30 to 40 seconds.
Ropeskills Rigging director Simon Amos said the starting point of the line was atop a hill at Pulau Gaya, about 45m above sea level, and riders gradually descend to a 8m-high platform at Pulau Sapi.
"The ride is an adrenaline rush. You're seeing the sea and having the experience of flying," he said, adding that it took his company about six months to build the zip line.
The zip line operates between 10am and 4pm daily but the company could operate after these hours upon request.
"The views from a ride at sunset is absolutely fantastic," said Simon.
He said the zip line used the latest technology to ensure the highest safety standards, adding that the trolleys with handles ensured riders always faced forward.
The company earned a reputation for providing rigging during Prince William and Kate Middleton's visit to the Danum Valley, 83km southwest of Lahad Datu, in 2012, and for renowned British naturalist Sir David Attenborough's filming of Sabah's wildlife at Gomantong Caves, outside Sandakan, earlier this year.

She was absolutely stunning and perfect in her role in "Roman Holiday," 1953. She had a kind of aura around her, as if she were born to play the part (of a princess). I called my agent, George Chasin, and told him I wanted her to have co-star billing, because it was obvious to me that she was going to be a big star and maybe win the Academy Award. Chasin gave me an argument… and I said, 'Look, George, just do it! It's really the princess' story.' And I thought, 'She's so terrific in this and I'm going to look like a jackass if it says "Gregory Peck in 'Roman Holiday.'" It was absolutely clear to me that equal billing was the way it ought to be. — Gregory Peck ( October 8, 1989 )

Tensions continue in Paraguay after the impeachment of President Fernando Lugo on June 22. Currently the conflict surrounds Paraguay's suspension from the Mercosur trade bloc because other South American countries, including Argentina, Venezuela and Cuba consider the impeachment to be unconstitutional. Former President Lugo also protests the impeachment, calling it a "coup" and asking for a return to democracy in the country. Ilsussidiario.net contacted Mario Ramos-Reyes, a diplomat, Professor of Philosophy and expert on Latin American law, for his opinion on the situation in his home country.In your opinion, could the dismissal of Fernando Lugo Mendez be considered a coup or was it according to the Paraguayan Constitution?I do not share the view that Lugo's dismissal was a coup d'état. Such a "coup" did not occur, as surprising as that may sound, particularly after the emotional and ideological reaction of some media, and unfortunately of President Cristina Kirchner of Argentina, and, above all, President Chavez of Venezuela and Correa from Ecuador. It should be pointed out that a delegation of Foreign Affairs ministers came to Asuncion before the impeachment process began, and according to some reports given recently, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Chavez, Maduro, had even asked the Paraguayan Armed Forces of Paraguay to lead a coup to "defend President Lugo." The Paraguayan Constitution under article 225 detailed the impeachment procedure and former President Lugo voluntarily submitted to the procedure, and said he would fully accept whatever the outcome of the procedure was. Lugo's own defense lawyer, Dr. Adolfo Ferreiro, said that the impeachment was legal and in accordance with the rule of the Constitution. What are the real reasons for this dismissal?All but one of his deputies voted to remove Lugo, as well as all the Senators except four. He lost all support from Congress. There was no one reason but many and some of them were formulated in the accusation of the impeachment. But what made Lugo's administration unsustainable was the rising tide of insecurity carried out by political organizations and parties aligned with his leadership, especially a group who call themselves "Liga de Carperos", which led a confrontation where this group -- armed illegally -- resisted the eviction of a rural estate. Seven policeman were killed, as well as eleven peasants, but none of the instigators were apprehended (they are now fugitives).Then what happened?

Jews today need not point to Prof. Toaff for a "blood libel". Just look at your own recent history and your behaviour in the occupied territories. The wanton killings of Palestinians from the 1940's to today is horrible, and real. You are indeed a brutal nation. The truth of your bloodletting is more terrible than any "blood libel".
