ABSTRACT: The present study explored the neural correlates underlying the psychological processing of self-national flag. Event-related potentials were recorded for national flags while subjects performed a three-stimulus oddball task. The results showed that self-referential stimulus (self-national flag) elicited longer N1 latency and larger N2 amplitude than did non-self-referential stimuli (the familiar and unfamiliar flags). Furthermore, larger P3 amplitudes were showed for self-referential stimulus than for familiar and unfamiliar stimuli. Moreover, in terms of lateralization, the self-referential effect was more obvious on the left region sites. Thus, the present study showed that the self-referential effect not only occurred in late P3 processing stage, but also in early N1 and N2 processing stages, and further demonstrated a left laterality for self-referential processing by using the self-national flag as the self-relevant stimulus.Neuroscience Letters 11/2011; 505(3):233-7.

The Berkley Center and Georgetown's Public Policy Institute sponsored a conversation between non-profit leader and Washington Post 'On Faith' columnist Tim Shriver and Georgetown faculty member E.J. Dionne. They discussed the role of faith in their lives as they charted their own careers in public service. More generally, they also considered the roles of faith and service in the education of youth, public policy leaders and foreign policy decision makers today.

When Seattle's Justin Smoak hit a three-run home run in the fifth inning Tuesday night, the Kansas City Royals' chances for a win and perhaps a postseason appearance were in big trouble.
Smoak hit an 0-2 fastball from Bruce Chen (8-4) for his career-matching 19th home run and the Mariners went on to a 4-0 victory, creating a bleak playoff picture for the Royals.
Time is running out - just five games remaining - much distance needs to be covered and two teams need to be hurdled.
The Royals' three competitors for the two AL wild-card spots - Tampa Bay, Texas and Cleveland - all won Tuesday.
The Royals, down four games in the loss column to Cleveland, need to win every game and hope that both the Indians and the Rangers completely collapse.
"We just go till they say we can't win it," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "We go as hard as we can. Keep playing our best guys and staying after it."
Mariners rookie left-hander James Paxton (3-0), making just his fourth major league start, worked a career-high seven innings, allowing four hits, walking none and striking out a career-high 10.
"He looked real good. Big, tall kid, straight over the top, straight downhill action on all his pitches," Yost said. "Good fastball, I mean, over-powering fastball at times, got it up to 97, lot of life on it. But downhill pitches are tough to hit, especially fastballs. Good breaking stuff, good changeup, good curveball."

Miya's Sushi
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of sushi. I've eaten at numerous sushi buffets spanning across a couple states and stuffed myself to the brink of hospitalization each time. I've made faux tuna out of watermelon and even written a narrative for a food writing class at Yale about how I grew up afraid of sushi but came to love it.
To me, sushi balances a plethora of food qualities that you normally don't see together except at high-end restaurants. Given small, traditional portion sizes, sushi tends to err on the healthy side, but it's not a simple amalgamation of vegetables. Sushi provides delicate pieces of raw fish and presents them in an artistic, elegant manner. The variety of flavors can vary dramatically, letting the chef's creativity shine, but the basis remains the same: raw fish bundled with extra ingredients wrapped in rice and nori. In America, sandwiches remain the iconic lunch food, but in Japan, sushi has a firm grasp of that role.
However, as much as I love sushi and appreciate its diversity, there's a limit to how precisely my tongue can discern flavors or textures and my mind remember them. Perhaps it's because I mainly eat at sushi buffets and always end up consuming more rolls than I can count, but I find it hard to come out of a sushi restaurant with a firm opinion on what roll was best and why it was so good. Throughout the course of dinner—or lunch—the variety of rolls all blend into similar flavor-texture profiles. There are crunchy rolls, sweet rolls, spicy rolls, and so on. When I dine at different sushi buffets or restaurants, the same phenomenon occurs and I stereotype sushi into these standardized flavor-texture profiles. Rarely do I come across a roll and say, "Wow, this is something different." My reactions generally follow the lines of "Wow, this tastes great, but I can't exactly say if it's better than the roll I had at that other place."
Miya's Sushi helped me escape this "monotony"—if you could call it that. At Miya's, you can find fresh, non-traditional sushi that combines ingredients you would never have suspected go well together—let alone, in a sushi roll. The chef/owner, Bun Lai, frequently catches fish used in the restaurant himself. I know this because I follow his Tumblr blog, through which he regularly posts today's catch in the morning. By the evening, the fish or whatever edible that was caught is probably inside the bellies of several lucky diners. Lai strives to source ingredients locally when possible and keeps up with modern food trends. The chicken used in some of his rolls are organic, and he is currently in the process of transitioning rolls into gluten-free versions. The rice used in all of Miya's rolls is a healthy amalgamation of brown rice, quinoa, amaranth, oat grains and flax seed. The complimentary miso soup oftentimes comprises of seaweed trapped a few miles from the restaurant, and the ginger, which is cut thick, includes traces of agave nectar. Miya's, quite simply, is the healthy foodie's mecca of sushi. Continue Reading →
Oaxaca Kitchen
Before I get into this story and review, here's a highly informative article about eating sushi at a restaurant. Though in general, sushi and raw fish are healthy, the article presents some great tips about avoiding caloric bombs at sushi restaurants.
When you get to college, oftentimes, you're bombard with numerous communities and organizations that want to consume your soul. They shower you with gifts and make promises of grand opportunities, but that all ends after freshman year. More often than not, the benefits drop stagnantly as soon as after the first month. One of the best programs I signed up for, however, is the Korean American Students at Yale's (KASY) adopt-a-freshman program. Of course, I, along with my friend Jessica, were the freshmen to be "adopted" by two generous members of KASY, Sarah and James.
As a frame of reference, most cultural societies at Yale have a program like this where freshmen are adopted into a family, allowing them to ask upperclassmen questions and get a better feel for college. Other groups do the same. For example, Timothy Dwight college (TD), my housing community, has a similar program.
With my TD family, I shared two meals—one at a dining hall and another at a famous pizza restaurant. While the dining hall meal was free because I am on the dining plan, everyone who went to eat at the pizza restaurant split the bill. Note that my entire family didn't actually go get pizza, about half of my TD family—three people—could make it. These meals were nice, informative, and fun, but they all occurred within the first couple months of school, and I haven't gotten to know any of the people in my TD "family" well.
My KASY family, on the other hand, poses a completely different outcome. We've gone out for multiple meals at local restaurants—Thai Taste, Basil, Oaxaca Kitchen, and probably one other occasion I forgot. I've met up with my KASY sibling, Jessica, in New York City for a run and a meal. Jessica, James (the father in this family), and I surprised Sarah (the mom) with a late-night birthday cake on her birthday. James and Sarah—I couldn't make it to this occasion—delivered Jessica food and gifts for her birthday. I received an iTunes gift card electronically over spring break for my birthday and Christmas. I could go on. Both Jessica and I are blessed to have ended up with such an awesome KASY family, and this KASY adopt-a-freshman program truly was one of the best, most-enduring perks of being a freshman.
Oaxaca Kitchen
The reason I bring up this story is because I want to quickly review a meal of Oaxaca Kitchen, which Sarah and I visited last week.
Sarah and I went on a quiet Sunday afternoon. There was only one or two tables occupied when we got there, and there are at least fifteen tables at Oaxaca Kitchen. The atmosphere feels festive, as the walls are peppered with aged cement, wood, and bricks. The lighting looks antique but not ancient. The place feels and looks like a cavernous bar, and I hope to come back during the night one day. Continue Reading →
Simple sous-vide chicken breast
So after a long hiatus from cooking anything sous-vide, I broke out my portable constant temperature water bath and got to work. The reason I decided to cook chicken sous-vide rose more out of convenience than desire for the perfectly cooked chicken breast—though the latter certainly was an incentive. Knowing I would have to cook for myself this month, I stocked up on a ton of healthy ingredients: frozen chicken breasts, broccoli, spinach, romaine lettuce, red onions, garlic, blackberries, grapefruit, greek yogurt, whole-wheat tortillas, quinoa, fat-free feta cheese, peanut butter, agave nectar, and Peter Luger sauce (not really healthy, but it's my favorite steak sauce).

Setting the Table
I've got to be honest. I don't read many books. I'm the type of guy who spends hours on end reading articles on NYTimes.com or cozying up with an extended essay in The Atlantic or New Yorker. Long-form books are not really my type. I think I may have ADD because books can never hold my attention. Despite all that, I devoured Danny Meyer's semi-autobiographical Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business during the past three weeks.
In Setting the Table, Meyer articulates not what makes him such a great restauranteur but a successful CEO of a food service company. Meyer, who brought us restaurants like Union Square Café, Shake Shack, and Eleven Madison Park, emphasizes the importance of hospitality when providing others a service or product. He divulges a handful of tenets, which, if followed correctly, can lead to a loyal following behind a brand and stable, long-term growth of business.
Meyer begins by describing his childhood and the early roots that formed his interest in food and goes all the way up to the opening of his restaurants in MoMA. Continue Reading →
Watermelon Tuna
I get asked a lot what molecular gastronomy, or modernist cuisine, is all about, but I think molecular gastronomy is one of those things you have to see, feel, and taste to truly understand. I can say that molecular gastronomy is the cross-section of science and cooking, where chefs apply techniques straight out of a chemist's playbook to food, but when you really get down to it, nothing beats tasting and feeling the results of culinary experimentation.
I can still recall the anticipation I had leading up to my first watermelon caviar experiment. It was like experiencing college for the first time. I had no idea what to expect even though I read so much about it. The transformation of watermelon juice to watermelon caviar is magical. Little, if any, practical reason exists in creating caviar that has the taste of watermelon, but the fact that one can pull off such feat and create unique dishes that surprise people presents a form of art and entertainment itself. Techniques like spherification, though they have some scientific value, serve mainly a cultural landmark and fascination. As a society, we are infatuated with trying new things, and while the field of technology produces new products and innovations unfailingly, culinary innovations trickle in more slowly. When Ferran Àdria first presented the spherification technique, it was a revolution that thousands of others began copying—including myself.
A similar experience can be had for watermelon "tuna," which, again, takes watermelon and presents it in new light. The texture changes, and no food serves as a precedent.
Making watermelon tuna does not present as much materialistic obstacles as watermelon caviar. One simply needs a vacuum sealer—which can be bought cheap at the local grocery store or Amazon.com—and watermelon. (Note: The prices of vacuum sealers vary a lot, from as low as $6.99 for a hand-pump sealer, to a mid-range FoodSaver for about $70. You can go even higher with industrial-grade chamber vacuum sealers, but those are generally out of the price range for most curious cooks).
Watermelon tuna, tastes undoubtedly like watermelon but takes on a curious texture. It maintain a little bit of the crunch originally in watermelon but becomes flexible and slimy—like tuna. A bite into watermelon tuna gives off the familiar crunch of an apple but yields with no resistance to the force of the bite. The experience of hearing a food crunch underneath your mouth yet feeling your teeth sink smoothly into watermelon tuna exceeds imagination. One must try the watermelon tuna for themselves to truly experience the excitement.
Yoyogi Sushi
The first time I went to Yoyogi Sushi, I came in with great expectations. My friends raved about it. Local publications raved about it, and even Yelp garnered favorable reviews. However, a glance inside the cramped restaurant shot bouts of doubt throughout my body. There was minimal décor. The menu looked greasy and worn out, and the wooden tables offered just enough room to shuffle around.
An adventurous foodie knows that a restaurant's atmosphere does not tell all about its fare, so I decided to give the place a chance. I waited in line, watching a line of chefs busily compiling orders, and by the time I got to the front of the line, I decided on a combination of tuna and yellowfin rolls. An energetic old lady shouted my order in the direction of the sushi bar, and I saw one of the sushi chefs beginning on my order. His hands moved quickly and methodically, and I could tell from the mechanical precision of his actions that the sushi chef carried years of experience under his uniform. Comforted by what seemed to be quality craftsmanship, I handed over my debit card to the old lady. Continue Reading →
Gabrielle Hamilton Visits Yale
Gabrielle Hamilton, author of the New York Times best-seller "Blood, Bones & Butter" visited Yale today. She visited the food writing class that I am in and also lead an open dialogue about her career and her memoir. Although I did not attend the public discussion, I had the chance to ask her questions and talk with her in a more intimate classroom setting.
Hamilton came off as a strong personality, someone who is not afraid to voice her opinion and comfortable in her mannerisms. She laughed, she cursed, and she genuinely engaged in conversation. Despite her strong personality, Hamilton seems amicable, and I would not mind hanging out with and certainly not mind learning how to cook from her.
During the seventy-five minutes our class had with her, she answered questions directly and honestly. For example, when asked about food blogs, she told us that while she sometimes spends time reading them, she feels bad afterwards because that was time spent she could have used to do something more productive.
Here are the cliff notes of what I learned:
- Hamilton keeps items on the Prune menu even if it's not their most successful item.
- School was like a vacation to Hamilton. Break from manual labor.
- Hamilton was completely compliant with requests from friends and family who received pre-publish text of the book.
- Seeing as Hamilton portrays her own flaws, she allows other people in her memoir to be flawed.
- Hamilton doesn't think time spent reading food blogs or watching food shows is time well spent.
- Hamilton enjoys breakfast at Balthazar at 8 a.m.—before all the tourists get in—Peter Luger for steak, Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station, and Angel's Share for a drink.
I talked to Hamilton one-on-one after the class discussion to get my book signed, and after I mentioned that I ran a food blog, a look of surprise ran across her face. "Were you offended by what I said about food blogs earlier," she asked. "Not really," I said sheepishly. "I understand what you mean. I used to read a lot of food blogs all the time, but it takes up a lot of time, and I definitely can't do that during the school year."
Hamilton asked me about Toastable, so I told her the link. I'm doubtful she'll have the time to visit—or the desire—but it's cool having been able to talk to such an accomplished person.
WD~50 Revisited
My friend Brian and I visited WD~50 this past Friday. It was my second visit to the place, and like I promised myself after my first visit, I ordered a la carte. As much as I enjoyed the tasting menu, the dishes were a tad bit too small for my comfort, and there was no way I was shelling out $140 on a meal. Continue Reading →
Yale Final Cut 2012 – "Top Chef"
Some years ago, Yale College began hosting a cooking competition known as Final Cut. The premise is simple, a team from each residential college—there are twelve—compete to create an appetizer and entree in the span of one hour. The primary ingredients are known beforehand, and additional ingredients or equipment can be requested, with the limitation of having two butane burners. The winning takes home a cash prize and a handful of culinary goodies.
The Final Cut competition had been one of the events I had been looking forward to coming into college, so when the time came, I teamed up with two friends Jonathan and Angela. We managed to win the preliminary competition, allowing us to compete in the final competition against eleven other teams.
In the preliminary round, we managed to win by cooking a vichyssoise containing chicken, candied carrot, blueberry-infused celery, and croutons. Vichyssoise is a French potato and leek soup normally served cold, but due to limited time and resources, we served our vichyssoise hot. When I tasted the dish, an assortment of contrasting flavors and textures greeted me. Croutons added a much needed bite to the dish. Chicken played a savory overtone, and the candied carrots balanced the primarily salty dish with strong, caramel flavors
At the final competition, we conjured up an appetizer soup based on spicy Korean flavors with enoki mushrooms, stuffed mushrooms, and daikon radish. Our main dish consisted of a Korean BBQ foam-filled mozzarella balloon, baked cod, candied beet, candied carrots, and quinoa. In retrospect, I think the execution of our entree during the final competition lacked finesse. The mozzarella balloons were made ahead of time, so not only was the filling cold, the balloons themselves cooled. The quinoa sat unattended for a while, losing heat, and were a tad overcooked. We didn't have time to blowtorch them either for an added layer of complexity. The beets, which we struggled with during practice sessions, never reached the softness I desired, but on the other hand, I think we did a great job with presentation, especially considering our limited practice runs. The cod turned out silky soft, and the flavor of the soup was spot on.
The whole competition was a great experience overall, and I'm hoping to go at it again next year. If you're interested in making something similar to what we made at the competition, here are some recipes.

Like most people, I grew up fearful of sushi. The concept of eating uncooked meat seemed unnatural to me. The only explanation I could come up with is that eating raw fish was a sort of rite of passage to adulthood, like drinking alcohol is. After all, I rarely see anyone but adults and college students eat copious quantities of sushi, and we all know what else adults and college students do in copious amounts… Those times I saw a child bite into sushi, I would always ask my parents how that could be so.
Of course, as I grew older, I realized that raw fish was, in fact, not poisonous or inedible. I quickly learned that raw meat may be eaten too, if handled carefully. The first time I tried sushi was at a dinner party, and by the time I had my first bite, my curiosity as a foodie influenced many of my decisions. The first few pieces were refreshingly unfamiliar. The fresh, squishy feel of raw fish though not immediately enticing, won over my palate. I remember leaving with a strong desire to try more sushi.
My subsequent encounters with raw fish were what really cultivated my appreciation for sushi. There is a psychological phenomenon known as the exposure effect—the more one experiences something, the more that person likes that thing—so soon enough, I had visited numerous sushi restaurants and binged on sashimi until the point of vomit. Still, every time I sit down for sushi, my mouth waters and I try to eat as efficiently and gluttonously as possible.
I need not go over how healthy sushi and raw fish is for the human body because I have already, here.
Last year, in January, I visited a sushi restaurant in Boston, MA with a friend named Handson. This was also about the same time I began to get hooked on sushi, so having the excuse of eating out, I searched for a sushi restaurant. Fin's, a Japanese sushi bar and grill, was conveniently located along the Charles, on the outskirts of Boston University's campus and across the river from MIT, which is the reason I was in Boston in the first place. Sushi at Fin's smells and tastes impeccably fresh—like the ocean. The rice to fish ratio balances precariously on the sweet-spot, and the portion sizes make it seem worth the money. Price-wise, Fin's offers a great lunch deal, and were I a stably employed adult living in Boston, I would eat here every day.

We're starting to suspect that Samsung has a thing for special events. The company just asked us to clear our calendars for an evening presentation in New York City on October 24th, teasing that the "Next Big Thing" has arrived. It's easy to make the connection to the Galaxy Note line with a stylus front and center in the teaser, although just what's entailed is left to the imagination: is it a more formal launch for American Galaxy Note II variants? A new tablet beyond the Galaxy Note 10.1? All we know is that we plan to be there to find out.

My tip: Customer Unhappy is Customer Lost forever.
So try to retain your existing clients and don't waste time and effort on hunting and building new business relationships. I am focusing more on this.
I follow the under stated:
According to Pareto Principle of 80:20 - 80% of your revenue should be coming from 20% of your clients..Its saves time and effort.. This is true for freelancing also.
I must say , deeply understand the requirements and deadline. If you can go for SRS document this will protect you from future misunderstandings about a topic. People, usually accept every work from client, and while they work on then they realize this was a wrong decision. This is waste time of yours and for other person.
The client will not be happy and for sure he is not going to work with you in future. Client him self is not clear about requirements, you need proper meetings to discuss the requirements and you both parties should agree on same page.
My #1 tip would be to enjoy what you do.
This is your chance to "be your own boss", you better really enjoy what you're doing or you may be wasting your time.
I offer vBulletin Services (5+ years experience & over 600+ documented clients)
I help run a successful Admin Forum and play around on a vBulletin Connect setup.
Some tips I could give you regarding "online freelancing"
1) Always use RSS to subscribe to the channels on the sites you want to get the jobs (freelancer.com, elance.com, odesk.com, etc), if you dont how, just learn it
2) The fastest you reply the client, the more chances you have to be awarded by him (pay a data plan on your cell phone and use a smartphone if you can, if you are starting or have no money, just check out the emails and RSS several times a day using your PC)
3) Set up a good looking portfolio (on the site you are looking for jobs and out of there too....do you have a personal website with your portfolio? great)
4) Set up the price you consider fair (per hour and per job). If your price per hour is 10$ and you could take 10 hours to finish a job, set the price at $100 or bit less...
5) Choose the best websites....(freelancer.com, elance.com, odesk.com, etc)
6) Complete your job meeting deadlines
7) Keep a good communication with your client
8) A bit of good luck
PS: I was an online full time freelancer for over a year (writing articles and translating...)
Mine for now
Don't take too much breaks. it's hard to restart the whole thing
My freelancing tip:
#Reply first to your employers (this is 1-15 minutes after they sent you a message)
#Keep learning more from your duty
#Use the best freelancers websites (elance, odesk and freelancer.com)
#Use RSS to get the jobs streaming information

Andre Ethier singled in the fourth inning of Cubs starter Ryan Dempster, extending his hitting streak to 29 games.
Ethier had grounded into a double play in his first at-bat, in the first inning.
With the signle past Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney into right, Ethier tied Zack Wheat for the second-longest hitting streak in Dodgers history. Wheat hit in 29 games in 1916. The team record is 31, set by Willie Davis in 1969.
Ethier will go for 30 tomorrow in a day game against Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano. Ethier is hitting .444/.500/.500 in his career against Zambrano, with eight hits in 18 at-bats, with one double and two walks.

The near fatal dog attack on a nine-year-old Hartford girl has prompted a Geneva neighborhood to be proactive.
This week, camellia avenue residents signed a petition and turned it over to Geneva Police.
In the last month, more than a dozen cats have been mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs.
Following the attack on little Mariah Carver in nearby Hartford, residents feel neighborhood children and the elderly could be next.
Police Chief Frankie Lindsey says his department is taking the matter quite seriously.
Police will actually be setting traps in an attempt to catch the canines.

Protects your screen
Ive had this screen protector for about as long as I've been using this phone and it really does prevent any scratching of the screen while still sensitive enough for you to tap the screen to input your data.
It protects the screen and you can readjust the screen protector.
I couldn't get all of the air bubbles out from between the phone's surface and the screen protector.

GFAP expression in the Linker tkT cell lines. The tkT cell lines and NIH 3T3 cells were grown in 1 mM dibutyryl cAMP for 3 to 8 days. Intermediate filament extracts from 1 to 6 × 105 cells were loaded in each lane and subjected to SDS PAGE and Western blotting. The membranes were immunostained for GFAP, which is specific for astrocytes. All of the astrocyte cell lines expressed GFAP and the NIH 3T3 cells did not.

Re: Ratoukhit the Cardassian Riding Hound
Ahh...if I had been doing that in color, that light-colored area would've actually been light blue or grey...maybe not as common for Earth animals (though I know cats and dogs CAN have blue eyes), but probably more common for Cardassian animals. I may darken it up a tad (though part of the fault may be on my scanner), but that area in the center is actually the pupil, not the pupil AND iris. The one thing I don't want, though, is to make it look like the iris is brown.
I see your point, though, and I will definitely re-evaluate next time I have a chance to come back to the drawing.

Sorry they actually meant stockpiled above ground palladium reserves, not in ground reserves, but it still should help v.nkl
From above link...
Supply Concerns Renewed After Recent Comments About Russia
"Analysts say much of the recent strength in palladium came after statements from officials with companies that have good reputations for their grasp of supply issues. In particular, they cited comments out of Johnson Matthey and Russian producer Norilsk Nickel last week suggesting little above-ground official warehouse stocks may remain in Russia.
"There is a feeling that sales from the Russian stockpiles, which have essentially balanced the market and kept it in surplus for the last couple of decades, could be—and I stress 'could'—be drawing to a close," Bhar said.
"Could" is the key verb since nobody knows for certain, as the Russian government tries to keep the exact size of its stockpile a secret.
"There have been lots of comments from companies like Norilsk and from other industry experts talking about a drawing to an end of the sales of Russian stockpiles within the next six to 12 months, or something like that," Bhar said.
Norilsk Nickel and Johnson Matthey officials were quoted in news reports last week as saying that Russian stockpile sales may be only a few metric tons in 2013. Data in Johnson Matthey's Johnson Matthey Platinum 2012 Interim Review, released in November, estimated that stockpile sales last year fell to 250,000 ounces from 775,000 in 2011. That contributed to what Johnson Matthey estimated was a 915,000-ounce global supply deficit in 2012.
Further, there may be limited potential for Russia to ramp up palladium output quickly, Melek suggested. Much of the country's output is mined as a by-product of other metals, particularly nickel.
Also, price support on the supply side has come from recent South African news, Melek pointed out. Anglo American Platinum earlier this month proposed cutting back some output of platinum group metals to improve its profitability picture. The bulk of the output loss would be platinum, but this could mean some 100,000 to 120,000 less ounces of palladium annually, Melek said.
"Certainly the South African situation has helped platinum," Melek said. Analysts generally say some three-quarters of the world's platinum-mine output is from the country. "But also, South Africa is a very important source of palladium as well," Melek said.
Data from the Johnson Matthey Platinum 2012 Interim Review showed that some 37% of global palladium supplies last year—not counting recycling—came from South Africa and 43% from Russia.
Demand For Auto Catalysts Seen Picking Up
Analysts cited an expectation that automotive sales will pick up in the key markets of China and the U.S. Both markets tend to rely upon gasoline-powered vehicles than can use palladium in auto catalysts, whereas the European market relies more upon diesel-powered vehicles that need more-expensive platinum.
The HSBC flash Purchasing Managers Index for China, reported last week, hit a two-year high of 51.9 and was seen as a continuing sign that the country is emerging from a two-year slowdown. Then Monday morning, another report showed that U.S. durable-goods orders rose by a much higher-than-forecast 4.6% in December.
"Positive sentiment in general with regard to U.S. markets, and signs of stabilization in China, are two underlying drivers for palladium," said Filip Petersson, commodity strategist with SEB Commodities.
Further, whereas palladium is associated with gasoline-powered cars, manufacturers are working to evolve technology so they can also substitute some of the platinum with palladium in diesel-powered cars, Bhar said. "The price differential has prompted companies to try to increase loadings of palladium," he said.
Johnson Matthey's 2012 data estimated that of total world palladium demand last year of 9.725 million ounces, 6.48 million—or two-thirds—was for auto catalysts."

1998 Chevrolet Other
While operating my car and before ~192 degrees it seems to run okay. But after the temp. Is reached and when I come to a stop where the engine is closer to idle, approximately 1000 to 2000 RPM's it begins to studder and eventually die. I attempt to accelerate during this episode and it seems there is no fuel getting to the engine unless I hold the accelerator down allowing it to get a bunch of fuel. All of this occurs only when the outside air temperature is above 65 degrees or so. On nice days only. The engine is in a 1967 Camaro and is a 1998 LS1 with much of the EGR system removed, if not all of it. It has headers and stock computer and engine wiring. The manifold and throttle body are also stock. I am not running catalytic converters.I am running O2 sensors on both sides however. I have a manually adjusting temperature electric fan which is not controlled by the ECM. It has the stock 1998 thermostat in it, I believe which is new. I believe the part store gave the right thermostat to me. I am at a loss for answers please help with what you can. Thanks in advance. My make is a 1998 LS1 engine with modified single inlet to engine fuel supply, 75,000 miles on ticker, blocked off EGR port on top and front of intake manifold.

Congressional leaders are hoping for final passage this week of a bill reshaping federal transportation programs and averting a doubling of interest rates for millions of federal student loans.
Lawmakers and aides said House and Senate leaders had reached agreement on the measure. Without action by the weekend, federal authority to spend money for road and other transportation programs would lapse, and interest rates for new subsidized Stafford loans would double to 6.8 percent.
Democrats said renewing the highway bill would save or create 3 million jobs. If student loan interest rates grew, it would affect an estimated 7.4 million students projected to get the loans over the next 12 months.
Congressional leaders also were interested in including provisions revamping the nation's flood insurance program.

RP Hosts World Electronics Forum; Local Industry Projects 15% Growth
MANILA, Philippines - World leaders in the electronics industry will gather in the country to come up with resolutions on the industry's new roles and directions in the future to help shape agendas, the Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines Inc. (SEIPI) said.
SEIPI President Ernesto Santiago said the Philippines through SEIPI will host the 4-day 17th World Electronics Forum at the Mactan Shangri-La Island Resort in Cebu, Philippines from April 18 to 21, 2012.
WEF is a voluntary gathering of CEOs and Directors of electronics industry organizations worldwide. Founded in 1995, WEF meets annually to discuss major topics of common interest, exchange information on services and data, and strengthen relations between various electronics industry organizations. Previous WEF meetings were hosted by USA, China, Japan, UK, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, Israel, India, among others.
The Philippines was elected during the 16th WEF held in USA last January 2011 to host the 17th WEF meeting for year 2012, with SEIPI as the host organization. Over 200 delegates from various foreign electronics industry organizations worldwide including CEOs, presidents, and executives of SEIPI members are expected to attend the meeting, Santiago said.
During the WEF meeting, Santiago said, the delegates are expected to come up with discussions and resolutions on the new roles and directions WEF has to undertake in the next coming years to make it a more effective and beneficial industry platform of the electronics industry that could help shape country, regional and global agendas.
Its business and technology forum also aims to be an exchange of information on the latest developments, challenges and changes happening in the electronics environment so as to know how the industry could adopt, align or move in-sync with global technology vectors. …

HSBC buys key Lloyds banking units in UAE
DUBAI (Reuters) – HSBC (HSBA.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), Europe's largest bank, is buying the onshore retail, corporate and commercial banking business of Lloyds Banking Group (LLOY.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) in the United Arab Emirates, to strengthen its Middle East presence.
HSBC is buying gross assets valued at $769 million at the end of 2011 and is expected to complete the deal in the second half of this year.
Brazil's EBX group sells $2 bln stake to Mubadala
Dubai/Rio de Janeiro, March 26 (Reuters) – Abu Dhabi state
investment fund Mubadala said on Monday it will buy a
$2 billion stake in Brazil's EBX Group, providing fresh capital
to the Brazilian conglomerate as it boosts spending on oil,
ports, shipyards, mines and electricity.
Mubadala, which has stakes in General Electric and
private equity firm Carlyle, said the investment will
give it a 5.63 percent preferred equity interest in Centennial
Asset Brazilian Equity Fund, the personal investment company of
Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista, who is behind the EBX Group.
Dubai dreams again with new opera and art complex
DUBAI (Reuters) – World's tallest building? Check. Man-made islands in the sea? Check. Indoor ski slope? Check. Now it's time for opera and art.
Dubai, which burst onto the global stage with a series of extravagant projects before being subdued by a crippling debt crisis, has now revived plans for an opera house in a bid to boost tourism.
Dubai may use sovereign fund to repay debt
DUBAI (Reuters) – Dubai, which narrowly averted a bond default in 2009, could use money raised by its sovereign wealth fund to help repay $3.8 billion in bonds owed by state-linked firms which mature next year, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
The Gulf Arab emirate has clawed its way back from the depths of its debt crisis, helped by an economic revival in trade and tourism and its safe-haven status amid the Arab Spring revolts, but still faces the challenge of big debt repayments.
Gulf jobs push seen a risk for business
DUBAI (Reuters) – Investors fear a big push by Mideast states to boost jobs for citizens, especially in the Gulf which has national quota programs and where higher salaries are demanded, will push up costs for businesses in the region.
A slew of state moves in recent months, accelerated by regional unrest partly rooted in a lack of job opportunities, has seen Gulf states raise salaries for citizens and attempt to reduce their expatriate workforce.
Moelis: Abu Dhabi buyers eyeing regional M&A deals
ABU DHABI (Reuters) – Certain Abu Dhabi entities are looking at snapping up regional competitors but tough credit markets and global uncertainty will slow any M&A activity, a top executive at independent investment bank Moelis & Co. said.
Augusto Sasso, co-head of Middle East and North Africa (MENA) investment banking, said Abu Dhabi clients were "actively looking" at acquisitions with the focus firmly on the MENA area.
Dubai has options to handle debt maturities: Deutsche Bank
ABU DHABI (Reuters) – Dubai has several options to handle its upcoming debt maturities and refinancing requirements, mainly thanks to reviving economic growth and stable income streams, a senior executive at Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Tuesday.
"There are many options to handle upcoming debt maturities. When you have assets and/or the right level of income, you can solve them with the right amount of creativity," Salman Al Khalifa, global markets head for MENA and country head for the United Arab Emirates, told the Reuters Middle East Investment Summit.
Investors cautious on Dubai, government-related entities:Moody's
DUBAI (Reuters) – Investors are cautious about the ability of some of Dubai's government-related entities to refinance their debt piles even as the emirate works to restore confidence in its financial health, a managing director at Moody's said on Monday.
While economic zone Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) and Dubai International Financial Centre Investments (DIFCI) have been chipping away at their $1.25 billion and $2 billion debts maturing next year, there is still a lack of clarity as to how the firms will refinance, said David Staples, managing director of EMEA corporate finance at the ratings agency.
Analysis – Oman vote masks deeper malaise as reforms stutter
MUSCAT (Reuters) – This month's election in Oman may give the small Gulf sultanate a glossier democratic veneer, but it is unlikely to bury the discontent exposed by protests in February inspired by Arab uprisings elsewhere.
Sultan Qaboos bin Said, an absolute ruler who deposed his father in 1970, responded to the unrest, in which five people were killed in the main industrial city of Sohar, with promises of reform and handouts.
Suicides shed light on darker side of Dubai's glitz
DUBAI (Reuters) – Indian laborer Athiraman Kannan kept to his routine in the hours before he jumped off the world's tallest building.
Three weeks ago, he arrived at Dubai's Burj Khalifa at 7 a.m., clocked in and headed to where he was working on the upper reaches of the 163-storey tower. About an hour later, the 38-year-old father of one flung himself off the Burj Khalifa's 147th floor, dying instantly when he hit the 108th floor.
