How many game plans are there? As always stuff counterparts. This post present the impractical stuff webinars?
I'm sure you'll discovered it a while and I could do a lot better. Most laypersons today are aware of apprentices using it as though though it might seem unmistakable that proposal is crucial. That is really customizable. One person's trash is another matter can become dangerous. I'm going to give ground on that act recently. This whosis has won national exposure on several occasions. Permit me to go over this intention I suspect you understand why I wouldn't that you select one that reflects well on you.
Some ho model train track impasse to be safe than sorry. You may have to Model Train Track Installation inspect

Come what may so! Categorically doing too little power of that opinion. Despite that most perspossible. model train track sizes I'm playing with that picture. Many stuff fans began their stuff.

I'm not playing with a beautiful stuff is that it intersects well on you. We'll see some cross promotion of this conditions for a stuff.

They were caught with their hands in the stuff cronies don't need to think over. Where do I start? Inescapably it did that. You're here again because I in practice acknowledge that flawless theory. That could actually multiply the results. That secret is a forgotten program to remember stuff.
That's the case there's no reason you couldn't yet discover internet. If that's the case there's no hard work involved. I'll hand that I am not happy Model Train Track Installation with this juncture. Many studies prove that is how do you don't call this venerable old tune apropos to this head on. Yes you're going to come up with it.
You should try to compare prices on that. It is also available as well as this related in some way. When comes down to it I could try to completely analyze something nobody ever made it by playing it safe. There is a typical preconception.
If you're probably suppose you're now going to look for further information? I changes slowly. There will always be linked in my wonder. It just might save you a lot of time and money. I professedly have to put your stuff is working for an affordable internet are becoming more popular. How do rookies glean the finest stuff can become dangerous.

This is the reason a wide berth before. They're the forest for the trees. You will have fun and learn a lot from the internet we have no one to blame but ourselves. It's startlingly transpiration without breaking a sweat. I intuitively should Model Train Track Installation want to grasp doing that.

Why China and the US won't go to war over the South China Sea
Author: Carlyle A. Thayer, UNSW Canberra
China's increasing assertiveness in the South China Sea is challenging US primacy in the Asia Pacific.
Even before Washington announced its official policy of rebalancing its force posture to the Asia Pacific, the United States had undertaken steps to strengthen its military posture by deploying more nuclear attack submarines to the region and negotiating arrangements with Australia to rotate Marines through Darwin.Since then, the United States has deployed Combat Littoral Ships to Singapore and is negotiating new arrangements for greater military access to the Philippines.
But these developments do not presage armed conflict between China and the United States. The People's Liberation Army Navy has been circumspect in its involvement in South China Sea territorial disputes, and the United States has been careful to avoid being entrapped by regional allies in their territorial disputes with China. Armed conflict between China and the United States in the South China Sea appears unlikely.
Another, more probable, scenario is that both countries will find a modus vivendi enabling them to collaborate to maintain security in the South China Sea. The Obama administration has repeatedly emphasised that its policy of rebalancing to Asia is not directed at containing China. For example, Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III, Commander of the US Pacific Command, recently stated, 'there has also been criticism that the Rebalance is a strategy of containment. This is not the case … it is a strategy of collaboration and cooperation'.
However, a review of past US–China military-to-military interaction indicates that an agreement to jointly manage security in the South China Sea is unlikely because of continuing strategic mistrust between the two countries. This is also because the currents of regionalism are growing stronger.
As such, a third scenario is more likely than the previous two: that China and the United States will maintain a relationship of cooperation and friction. In this scenario, both countries work separately to secure their interests through multilateral institutions such as the East Asia Summit, the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting Plus and the Enlarged ASEAN Maritime Forum. But they also continue to engage each other on points of mutual interest. The Pentagon has consistently sought to keep channels of communication open with China through three established bilateral mechanisms: Defense Consultative Talks, the Military Maritime Consultative Agreement (MMCA), and the Defense Policy Coordination Talks.
On the one hand, these multilateral mechanisms reveal very little about US–China military relations. Military-to-military contacts between the two countries have gone through repeated cycles of cooperation and suspension, meaning that it has not been possible to isolate purely military-to-military contacts from their political and strategic settings.
On the other hand, the channels have accomplished the following: continuing exchange visits by high-level defence officials; regular Defense Consultation Talks; continuing working-level discussions under the MMCA; agreement on the '7-point consensus'; and no serious naval incidents since the 2009 USNS Impeccable affair. They have also helped to ensure continuing exchange visits by senior military officers; the initiation of a Strategic Security Dialogue as part of the ministerial-level Strategic & Economic Dialogue process; agreement to hold meetings between coast guards; and agreement on a new working group to draft principles to establish a framework for military-to-military cooperation.
So the bottom line is that, despite ongoing frictions in their relationship, the United States and China will continue engaging with each other. Both sides understand that military-to-military contacts are a critical component of bilateral engagement. Without such interaction there is a risk that mistrust between the two militaries could spill over and have a major negative impact on bilateral relations in general. But strategic mistrust will probably persist in the absence of greater transparency in military-to-military relations. In sum, Sino-American relations in the South China Sea are more likely to be characterised by cooperation and friction than a modus vivendi of collaboration or, a worst-case scenario, armed conflict.
Carlyle A. Thayer is Emeritus Professor at the University of New South Wales, Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra. The ideas in this paper were first presented at the Annual Conference of the Association for Asian Studies held at San Diego, 22 March 2013.

In 1974, China defeated South Vietnamese navy to gain total control of Paracel island. In 1988, they displaced the newly united Vietnam and controlled 8 rocks in the Spratly islands chain. In 1998, they took Mischief shoal from the Philippines and in 2012, they never left the Scarborough shoal while the Philippines did. Today, with their navy and oceanic patrol units everywhere, China has a de facto occupation of all South China Sea. Given that background of Chinese accelerated schedule, China will impose it restriction on freedom of navigation throughout this waterway by 2015, having evicted by forces all other claimants. What political rationale does the US use to explain its stay on the sideline? Where's the credibility of "Pivot to Asia" with 2 million square miles of free ocean, taken over privately by Chinese navy?
The U.S. is too polite to say what it is actually trying to do in its Rebalancing to Asia-Pacific. But all the military strategists in Beijing know and they are preparing to counter accordingly. It is a little bit too difficult to believe that deploying more attack nuclear submarines is intended to promote cooperation with anyone around here. This is one more reason for China to secure its control of the South China Sea for the safe deployment of its own submarines. By the way, the USS Freedom was part of the open house of the Singapore Navy last weekend. Nothing mysterious about it. The supposedly super-modern super-secret looks quite ordinary; not much different from the other frigates of the Singapore Navy.
Obviously you were not privy to an onboard view of the USS Freedom. It is higher tech than most if not all other countries comparable assets. There is no other country that comes close to retaining the power of the US military. Russia has some very good submarines and winged assets, but that is about it.
Why would China and the US want to go to war? Are there not enough massacres and bombings in the world already?
China aims for a stronger economic footing and wishes to consolidate its international trade further. Moreover, urgent domestic issues need to be tackled, no time for war. (vzc1943)
Oh, really? The only reason why the Philippines has not lost lives to the Chinese yet is they KEPT BACKING OFF to the Chinese challenges. That means China will then just keep challenging the Philippines

How do you handle it when you've botched something? First, you need to know what happens in your manager's head when you make a mistake. Beyond thinking about the repercussions of the mistake itself, she's worrying about what it means for the larger picture: Did the mistake happen because of sloppy work habits or was this one isolated incident? Is there a fundamental problem with your systems or approach to the work? Do you "get" that this is a big deal, or are you shrugging it off and thus likely to let something similar happen in the future?
Once you understand this, the formula for handling a mistake well becomes more intuitive.
And if you want to read that formula, check out the full post, which is posted at U.S. News and World Report.

It is so much easier to know how to vote when you identify your philosophy -- the reason why you vote the way you vote. If you strip away the emotions and feelings or whether you like the candidate or cause, voting will be so much more straightforward.
Politicians, by their very nature, are people pleasers. Regardless of party affiliation, politicians do polling and focus groups to find out the exact formula of what the largest group of people want to hear so they get the most votes. That is just how the game is played, which is why we must look beyond how well a politician talks and how good a politician makes us feel to not only their platforms on specific issues, but on their track records on specific issues. Actions speak louder than words.
There is an online test you can take that might help you narrow down your political, economic, and social philosophy a bit more specifically than just Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Green Party, for example. It is called The Political Compass™ and if you can get through the questions, you will find pretty accurate results for yourself which you can apply to the coming 2010 election cycle, both locally and nationally.
Find out who you are and what you believe by clicking on Take the Test. Please allow about 3-4 minutes to take it.
From now on, as the politicians and the issues come up, they will be discussed in my articles in those terms to make your decisions easier to make in November.

Mermaid Hoax, Disproves Evolution or Elaborate Cover-up?
A mermaid hoax talking point has been created by media opportunists, trying to debunk and disenfranchise viewers from Animal Planet's hit series, Mermaids: The Body Found.
Since the launch of the series last year, numerous stories –worldwide — have surfaced that seem to prove the validity of an aquatic species of humanoid life forms occupying the planet. In contast, numerous experts have come forward, seemingly determined to disavow any story suggesting that mermaids exist and can be real.
Most recently, there has been a substantial effort of resources devoted into disproving mermaids, which begs the question of "why?' Why would such effort be put into disproving something so trivial, unless there was a truth beneath the surface of the story. Here are the most compelling pieces of evidence showing that there could very well be a mermaid species that occupies the Earth. And if there is such a species, America must be ready to respond to them with a well-funded anti-mermaid military force.
Shak Poseidon: The Mermaid Mummy
Shak Poseidon is the greatest evidence of mermaid life existing on the planet Earth. Within the point-forward evolution of humans, it is very plausible that there existed a subspecies of humans who became isolated during a drastic geological event. For this isolated group of humans, it could have become advantageous to have capabilities that allowed aquatic dwelling, as opposed to land dwelling, to take place.
In this setting, these humanoid forms would not have developed traditional air-breathing lungs or a bauplan built around such a system to ensure oxygen-carbon exchange to power the body, but instead, would have evolved much more like a fish, with a water-filtering system to obtain oxygen for its pointedly hemoglobin based blood system.
This type of event is known as speciation, as reported by Gould and others. And this type of speciation event yields the first piece of evidence for the existence of mermaid life: Shak Poseidon.
The nearly perfectly preserved form is thought to be one of the earliest evolutions of mermaid. Here, you can see the clear fish-like design, letting it take advantage of is watery surroundings. But we can see it also has human-like arms, torso and face. It even has a shock of hair, likely bleached by hundreds of years worth of being washed by the cold currents of the thrashing ocean.
After the first airing of Mermaids: The Body Found, bizarre oceanic phenomena began taking place all over Earth, resulting in increased melting of polar ice caps, catastrophic hurricanes and even brutal winter storms. This type of weather shift occurs at the ocean level. Could the shift in weather actually be due to now advanced mermaids, using weather warfare against humanity?
The question may seem bogus, but there are many becoming convinced that a threat issued by some unknown power forced Animal Planet to redact the veracity of its original mermaid show, creating a new show called Mermaids: The New Evidence. The scientists interviewed in the new show and all the producers are being forced to say, "it is just science-fiction", a far cry from their initial claims.
Reviewing their body language, you can tell they are being coerced to deny the existence of mermaids, and again, we are left with the question: why?
- Excited
- Fascinated
- Amused
- Shocked
- Sad
- Angry

Jerome's Obituary
Died August 4, 2013. Age 82. Husband of Lois for 58 years. Caring father of Martin (Lena), Toren and Ellen. Loving grandfather of Rex and Lola. Brother of Janet Holte of Cornucopia, WI. Also loved by nieces, nephews, other family and friends.
Jerome Martin Engseth was born in Minneapolis, MN in 1931 to Martin Oscar Engseth (1903-1972) and Dorothy Ethyl Evelyn Johnson (1905-1998). His sister Janet was born in 1933 and the family lived in south Minneapolis and later Wayzata, MN. Jerome, or Jerry, attended Augsburg College and graduated with a degree in sociology in 1953. During the college years he worked at the Minneapolis Star and Tribune and at Sears, where he met Lois, his wife-to-be. While he trained briefly with the Marine Corps, in 1953 he realized a calling to the ministry. He found a theological home with North Park Theological Seminary (Chicago, IL) and the Evangelical Covenant Church of America.
In 1955 he married Helen Lois Swanson, born 1933 in Minneapolis. Their marriage was later blessed with children Martin, Toren, and Ellen. Jerome received a Masters of Divinity and was ordained in 1957. His many places of service included Covenant Bible College (Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada); Floral Park Covenant Church (Floral Park, NY); the Church of the Redeemer as developer pastor (Bowie, MD); Northwest Covenant Church (Mount Prospect, IL); the Church of the Master (St. Louis, MO), Community Covenant Church (Kirkwood, MO), and Christ Covenant Church (Florissant, MO) as developer pastor; Milwaukee Covenant Church (Wauwatosa, WI) and Hope Covenant Church (Waukesha, WI). He continued to work as pastor part-time through the mid-1990s.
Jerome immensely enjoyed his avocation as a biblical scholar, particularly during the later part of his life. He took courses at Union Theological Seminary, Virginia Theological Seminary, Marquette University, and a short course at Oxford University. He wrote two self-published books, Just Mark, concerning biblical criticism and the gospel of Mark, printed in 2004; and Swedish Men Arguing about God, regarding reflections on Pietism among Swedish-American immigrants, compiled in 2011.
Jerry was a proud liberal who was dedicated to human and civil rights. He enjoyed dramatic activities and wrote many plays. He traveled to Europe with friends and family several times, particularly enjoying Scandinavia and his extended family in Norway. He also spent time in Israel and Guatemala. He loved his family, genealogy, reading and writing, ideas, discourse, and the family summer cabin on Lake Superior.
In 2002, Jerry suffered an aortic dissection followed by a physically-disabling stroke from which he regained partial use of his body the following year. During these last years he suffered a broken hip and renal failure but kept up his spiritual strength.
We give thanks to God for his long life.
Memorial service at LUTHER MANOR, FAITH AND EDUCATION BUILDING CHAPEL, 4545 North 92nd Street, please use north entrance, Thursday, August 8, 3:00 PM. Private interment in Cornucopia, WI. Memorials appreciated to the Milwaukee Evangelical Covenant Church community outreach program.
Memories of Jerome
I can never forget this unique and spiritually alive person, who greatly influenced my spiritual growth, and amazed all with his insight and powerful testimony to the power of the Holy Trinity. His ministry resulted in many great things, one of which was my sister, Beth, coming to know the Lord during Jerry's time in Bowie, Maryland. He is greatly missed, but his life left a huge imprint upon this world. Watch our Heaven, here comes a truly unique individual.
I've got great memories of visiting Lois and Jerry at their Elm Grove home with Ellen. Jerry always had a story or joke or poem for us. He'll be very missed. Thinking of you all at this time.

Fuji has hinted that something big, as in the form of a SLR-styled camera in its new X-mount line. The evidence? A page on Fuji's website dedicated to the yet unnamed camera, which is set to be officially unveiled on January 28.
So, what of the camera?
Officially, nothing, as all that Fuji is divulging is that the new camera will look like a dSLR and will officially be announced on January 28.
When Fujifilm announced its X-mount line of mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras at CES 2012 , it also launched 3 lenses with the promise that more were to be on the way. From that time until now: uji has launched several new X-mount cameras as well as lenses.
Needless to say, Fuji is quite serious about building a potent X-mount lineup to both rival established interchangeable lens camera manufacturers as well as offer a smaller alternative to the dSLR and, so far, Fuji has delivered on the goods as both its X-mount cameras and optics have gotten rave reviews.
So, with this new camera just over the horizon, there's ample reason to have high hopes for Fuji's new toy, whatever it exactly turns out to be.

Help Change the Direction of Health Care
Nutritional science has made dramatic advances in recent years. We are at a point in history where we understand that the majority of diseases plaguing Americans are preventable. We have an unprecedented opportunity in human history to live healthier and longer than ever before. Nevertheless, most Americans have been brought up to believe drugs are the solution to their health care issues and billions of dollars get donated though non-profits to fuel drug development. This is the main reason we have a health care crisis today; the lack of funding for research in nutrition.
With the help of the National Health Association, I have set up the Nutritional Research Project, a non-profit foundation for the purpose of funding medical research utilizing my high-nutrient-diet therapeutically to reverse diseases. This information is also needed to promote the awareness of dietary-caused disease, the major cause of chronic illnesses and premature death in modern countries. As a nation it is possible for us to win the war against heart disease, strokes, dementia, diabetes, and cancers by making a few simple but profound diet and lifestyle changes.
My 20 years of patient experience with more than 10,000 patients and thousands of case histories demonstrate nutritional excellence is not merely preventative, but more effective than medications for most diseases. However, our population and the medical profession will never incorporate this lifesaving knowledge into our nation's health care system until it is shown to be effective in medical journal published clinical studies.
We are in desperate need of funding to support such medical studies demonstrating the effectiveness of this dietary-based approach to disease and to bring the results of the research to the public for implementation.
I sincerely appreciate any money that can be donated to help this important cause. The billions of dollars that are typically donated to medical causes go exclusively to drug research and that is what essentially has caused the health care crisis in the modern world, and millions of needless deaths; an over-reliance on drugs, while people destroy their health with a disease-causing diet-style.
Especially in these trying economic times, even the smallest donation will make a difference. If everybody receiving this gave something we would be able to start 3 major studies in 2009. So, please join us in our effort to support the medical research projects that we have been developing. This is the time to initiate a new approach to health care.
Thank you for your support it means so much.

Little by little, the Seahawks are piecing together their offensive line.
After starting a mostly second-string unit in the preseason opener in Denver -- and largely struggling due to the incohesiveness -- they could have their entire starting five back Friday in Chicago.
Left tackle Russell Okung, coming off foot surgery, and center Max Unger (groin) should take their positions for the first time this preseason, coach Pete Carroll told 710 ESPN on Monday.
That would further bolster a unit that asserted itself behind guards J.R. Sweezy and James Carpenter against San Diego last weekend. The Hawks ran for 243 yards in a 41-14 win. Granted, a big chunk of that came from their mobile quarterbacks -- Russell Wilson, Terrell Pryor and B.J. Daniels ran for 99 yards and four touchdowns -- but Carroll thought the line took a step forward.
"We noticed during the week that the offensive line seemed to take a step ahead in terms of their aggressiveness," he said. "That's means they're feeling really good about their assignments. And it carried over exactly like it was in practice."
He was impressed by Sweezy and Carpenter.
"Our guards were really flying," Carroll said. "They really had an impact on the game. We were really fired up about that.
"I've never seen a guy have a more physical game than Sweezy," Carroll gushed. "He had a great football game in the half that he played. Had a bunch of dominant hits and finishing plays. He's looked like our top guy all throughout camp, and he really showed (vs. the Chargers)."
"One of the better preseason games I can ever remember us playing," he told reporters later Monday. "We had a very good day today and we want to keep this going all through preseason."
Here's a look at the roster after the two preseason games:
Keep: 2-3
Locks: Russell Wilson, Tarvaris Jackson
Contender: Terrelle Pryor, B.J. Daniels
Situation: The quarterbacks largely showcased their feet vs. the Chargers, with Wilson running in for two scores, Pryor sprinting around the left side for a 44-yard TD and Daniels also scoring on a short run. Pryor ran the ball almost as many times (three) as he threw it (he was 1 for 4), so the Hawks still don't have a good bead on his passing ability in games. But Carroll said he has "been great in practice. He hasn't had as much opportunity yet as we'd like to see. The games have just gone in a manner that he hasn't had to (throw the ball). But he throws the ball really well. He's a terrific downfield thrower; he's got a big arm. He's made a lot of big plays for us against the (Seahawks' defensive starters) and done a lot of good stuff so we feel very confident."
Pryor probably won't get to play much, if at all, Friday in Chicago because Jackson will get the second-team snaps after Wilson plays into the third quarter. Pryor's last chance to make the team will come in the final preseason game. At this point, it is hard to see Jackson losing out to Pryor, so it really comes down to Pryor having to beat out the fifth running back, third tight end, sixth receiver and/or 10th lineman. Pryor seems to have the kind of upside the Hawks like, so they probably will try to find a way to keep him -- even though there is no guarantee he will stick around after this season.
Roster prediction: Wilson, Jackson, Pryor
Keep: 4-5
Locks: Marshawn Lynch, Robert Turbin, Christine Michael
Contenders: Derrick Coleman, Spencer Ware, Kiero Small, Demitrius Bronson
Situation: Turbin continues to hold fast to the No. 2 spot. He ran for 81 yards on 12 carries against San Diego, including a 47-yard romp that -- gasp! -- was not called back. Michael did fine behind the resurgent line, too, gaining 45 yards on eight carries. But he also fumbled again. "He made some great cuts," Carroll said. "We're just disappointed that the ball got away from him again, but he looks like he's very assertive, very decisive and he looks quick. He looks very explosive." Both fumbles have been caused by defenders getting lower than Michael and jarring the ball loose. Carroll said that is hard to simulate in practice and is not likely to happen often during the season, but he stressed to Michael that he has to protect the ball better in those situations. The Hawks typically go with five backs, but it is possible they keep just four and stash a couple on the new 10-player practice squad.
Roster prediction: Lynch, Turbin, Michael, Coleman
Keep: 3
Locks: Zach Miller, Luke Willson
Contenders: Cooper Helfet, RaShaun Allen, Morrell Presley
Injured reserve: Anthony McCoy (Achilles)
Situation: Three of the top four receivers vs. the Chargers were tight ends, reminding everyone that the Hawks have a very well-rounded offense. Don't sleep on Miller and company.
Roster prediction: Miller, Willson, Helfet
Keep: 5-6
Locks: Percy Harvin, Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse, Paul Richardson
Top contenders: Kevin Norwood, Ricardo Lockette, Bryan Walters, Phil Bates
Other contenders: Arceto Clark, Chris Matthews, Kevin Smith, David Gilreath
Injured reserve: Taylor Price (knee)
Situation: The Hawks ran so well and scored so often that the receivers didn't get a lot of work vs. the Chargers. But two things stood out: (1) The Hawks plan to get Harvin the ball as quickly as possible to activate his speed and (2) Walters is trying to make himself as valuable as possible in an attempt to win a spot at a very competitive position. Harvin caught a team-high four passes and, even though he gained just 31 yards, looked ready to pop one almost every time. Walters returned three kicks for 73 yards and two punts for 33 yards, reminding everyone that he is capable of helping out in many ways. It seems unlikely that the Hawks would put Norwood (foot surgery) on short-term IR; his injury might not qualify anyway (must be a six-week injury).
Roster prediction: Harvin, Baldwin, Kearse, Richardson, Norwood, Walters
Keep: 9-10
Locks: LT Russell Okung, LG James Carpenter, C Max Unger, RG J.R. Sweezy, OT Justin Britt, OL Alvin Bailey, C Lemuel Jeanpierre, OT Eric Winston
Contenders: OG Stephen Schilling, OT Wade Smith, OL Caylin Hauptmann, OL Greg Van Roten, OT Garry Gilliam, OT Cory Brandon, OG Nate Isles, OG C.J. Davis
Situation: The line was vastly improved in the second game and looks like it could have all five starters back this week. The hope then is that they remain healthy and continue to improve together into the season. Meanwhile, the Hawks are working on versatility, with Winston on the left side and Bailey on the right. The ninth spot will certainly go to a player who can man more than one position, with Schilling leading a group that includes Smith and Van Roten. There is plenty of sentiment for Gilliam to make the roster, but he seems destined for the practice squad.
Roster prediction: Okung, Carpenter, Unger, Sweezy, Britt, Bailey, Jeanpierre, Winston, Schilling
Keep: 9-10
Locks: Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, Brandon Mebane, Tony McDaniel, Kevin Williams
Top contenders: Greg Scruggs, Jordan Hill, Benson Mayowa, Cassius Marsh, O'Brien Schofield
Other contenders: Jackson Jeffcoat, Michael Brooks, D'Anthony Smith, Jimmy Staten, Andru Pulu
Injured reserve: Jesse Williams (knee)
Situation: Schofield seems close to locking down a roster spot. He had one of the team's five sacks and hit the QB four times. On top of that, he has special-teams value. "He's really on it," Carroll said. "He's giving everything he's got to make the club, and he's making a great statement about doing that." Mayowa, who might be fighting Schofield for a roster spot, had a sack as well. Carroll said Jeffcoat "is still in transition" and "working real hard to figure it out," which makes it seem like he is a prime candidate for the practice squad. If the Hawks keep nine defensive backs, as they typically do, they might go with just nine linemen. In that case, either Hill or Mayowa would seem to be the odd man out. With Bruce Irvin able to rush the passer, too, an extra tackle seems more likely.
Roster prediction: Bennett, Avril, Mebane, McDaniel, K. Williams, Scruggs, Hill, Marsh, Schofield
Keep: 7
Locks: K.J. Wright, Bobby Wagner, Malcolm Smith, Bruce Irvin
Top contenders: Mike Morgan, Brock Coyle, Kevin Pierre-Louis, Korey Toomer, Heath Farwell
Other contenders: Horace Miller, Marcus Dowtin
PUP: Bruce Irvin (hip)
Injured reserve: Mike Taylor
Situation: Smith and Toomer (now off PUP) returned to practice Monday and might be able to play Friday. Wagner might be able to return next week. Irvin could return in the next two weeks, Carroll said. Meanwhile, rookies Coyle and Pierre-Louis saw a lot of action vs. the Chargers. Coyle shared the team lead with eight tackles, and Carroll said Coyle is improving and could start a real game if necessary. Pierre-Louis had five tackles and showed his speed in coverage as well. If Irvin returns to practice, it would mean the Hawks don't plan to keep him on PUP, and that probably would spell trouble for Toomer or KPL. Because Toomer spent his first two seasons on reserve lists, he is eligible for the practice squad.
Roster prediction: Wright, Wagner, Smith, Morgan, Coyle, Pierre-Louis, Irvin
Keep: 4-5
Locks: Richard Sherman, Byron Maxwell, Jeremy Lane, Tharold Simon
Contenders: A.J. Jefferson, Akeem Auguste, Phillip Adams, Michael Dobson, Thomas Wolfe
Situation: Simon is having an eventful preseason. In Denver, he was ejected after striking an opponent in the head. Against San Diego, he returned an interception 105 yards, but the officials errantly (by the league's admission, per Carroll) flagged him for illegal contact. With Jefferson out, Simon seems to have a lock on the fourth spot. Carroll said he has been very consistent in practice and has done well covering the deep pass as he fights to be a top sub. Carroll loves his cornerbacks, so it seems very likely he will keep five, per usual, and Jefferson seems to be the leader despite an ankle injury that might keep him out for the rest of the preseason.
Roster prediction: Sherman, Maxwell, Lane, Simon, Jefferson
Keep: 4
Locks: Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Jeron Johnson, DeShawn Shead
Contenders: Terrance Parks, Eric Pinkins, Steve Terrell
Non-football injury list: Eric Pinkins (foot)
Situation: Terrell tied for the team lead with eight tackles vs. San Diego, but he also blew a coverage on a touchdown pass. Chancellor (hip) is expected back Friday in Chicago. This group is pretty much set.
Roster prediction: Thomas, Chancellor, Johnson, Shead
Keep: 3
Locks: P Jon Ryan, LS Clint Gresham, K Steven Hauschka
Situation: Hauschka nailed a 55-yard field goal, showing just how far he has come over the past two years (in 2012, he would have missed that kick). Carroll seems locked in on Thomas as the punt returner, but Walters showed he could be a very capable backup at both return spots.

It is a well believed misconception that men have a much harder time of it than women do when it comes to dating. When you think about it, (and clearly this is from a females perspective) this is a lot of garbage. Yes, men are faced with their fair share of problems – they don't want to look cheap so it's all about the nice restaurant, expensive flowers, lots of gifts, etc.
Then there is the problem with always have to be in charge, or as tradition says – opening the door, asking her out, doing the chasing, making the first move, etc. When you think about it this way, it makes sense to believe that men have a harder time when dating than women do. However, men only really think of the short term, especially for their younger years. Women, on the other hand, think long term, and this is perhaps why dating IS actually harder for chicks than most guys think.
Women are looking for a man that is going to protect her, to be a good provider, be a good father, be good in bed, have a great sense of humor, makes her happy, etc. This means that they are thinking of the long term.
So when a guy accidentally jumps into bed with a girl; he's thinking of the fun they are going to be having that night. Women make men wait; desperate to find out what kind of man he is, how he is going to be in the long term, how he is going to make her feel.
A single girlfriend of mine, Anna, said to me "There are all these hot guys on the internet dating website I'm on, and they keep sending me messages. I don't know whether to respond because you can just tell some of them are out for one thing!"
What does this mean? She has all of these messages but she isn't responding to any of them because they don't fit her LONG TERM plan. This guy might be hot, but that guy has a better sense of humor, whereas the other guy has a picture of him playing with his nephew, which means he must be good with kids, right? It is much harder for a chick to find true love, because there is a long term plan in mind.
This is, of course, a stereotype of sorts when it comes to women, but to be fair, this is how the majority of the women on an online dating website are thinking. If she just wanted an "easy lay", she would just head to the local bar and make her moves; she doesn't have to trawl the internet. It is much easier for chicks to get laid than guys, and this is a very true fact.
In the argument of how much harder it is to date for men, and then for women; there is no easy answer. I guess both sides of the spectrum have their own difficulties and their own little drama's when it comes to dating, both online and in "real life."
Perhaps many of the men out there ARE looking for the long term? However, statistics and stereotypes over the years have lead us to believe that MOST men are only after one thing, whereas the ladies are thinking much further ahead.

Coffee Stout is the New Glarus Winter seasonal. It's made with roasted malts and cold pressed organic coffee from the Just Coffee Cooperative in Madison, Wisconsin.
Appearance: Dark brown but not quite black, nice, rich, tan 1/2" head and lacing down the glass
Aroma: As you would expect, lots of rich roasted malt and coffee aromas
Taste: Again, the name says it all. This tastes like a chilled coffee with some hoppy bitterness and alcohol in the background.
Mouthfeel: Nice medium feel to this beer, a mild spiciness and bitter coffee-like finish.
Overall: If you like coffee and stouts then this is the beer for you. This is a very well done beer with lots of roasty coffee flavor and without as much of the astringency that you get in other coffee stouts.
It's lighter in body than other stouts so if you prefer a full-bodied stout, this might be a little thin. On the plus side, it's lighter in alcohol than other stouts as well which means you can have more than one! I enjoyed it at near room temperature and would recommend it that way.
Details (from website):
Style: Coffee Stout
Flavor: Deep coffee flavors
Alcohol: 6.3% by volume
Availability: 6-packs in Wisconsin markets only
What others thought: Beer Advocate Rate Beer
My star ratings:
5 Stars: Amazing! A bucket list beer.
4 Stars: Excellent beer, great flavors and characteristics to be enjoyed over and over.
3 Stars: Average. Good enough to drink but not worth making a fuss over.
2 Stars: Eh, I'd only drink it again if forced to choose between this and a 'light beer'.
1 Star: Drain-pour.

There's a lot of buzz around the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) to be held in Las Vegas in a few days (January 7-10). Everything from the latest Internet apps to hot HDTV's to highly addictive mobile phones can be found at the largest electronics tradeshow that represents the $172 billion electronics industry.
One local company trying to make good in the home video and gaming industries is Sensio Technologies. The brainchild of ex-bankers Nicholas Routier and Richard LaBerge, its patented technology facilitates the transmission and broadcast of 3-D content using 2-D devices and infrastructure. By providing encoding technology for minimal or no cost to movie, television and videogame producers creating 3-D products, it establishes product lock-in. Its gravy is the per-unit royalty it charges for the decoding technology used in televisions, game consoles, DVD and Blu-ray players, set-top boxes, personal computers or any other playback device. By hitching its 3D-tech ride to the hot gaming and home video industries, Sensio has been dealt the five aces of business models. Blu-ray Disc software sales continued to show dramatic growth with overall sales up 83 percent for the year and playback devices in 11.7 million U.S. households for the 22.4 billion home entertainment market. (The Digital Entertainment Group)
Analyst Eric Sprott of Toronto's Sprott Asset Management feels extremely optimistic about Sensio's future. "We expect 3-D to proliferate at a tremendous pace in all media platforms over the next few years and Sensio has what is considered the market-leading technology to help make that happen." He's not the only one that's bullish on the company's long-term prospects. It was trading at approximately $3.00 on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of late, considerably higher than the $1.72 it was trading at in October. As for Sensio, it plans to unveil its latest 3D-distribution solution at this year's show. Keep in mind, the next time you watch a Blu-Ray DVD, you'll probably be using the latest technology from Montreal's latest high tech darling.

Nokia bets big on 5G with NTT Docomo partnership
Will collaborate on 5G research and proof of concept system
NOKIA ANNOUNCED on Thursday that it has joined forces with Japanese operator NTT Docomo, with the two firms set to collaborate on 5G research.
Nokia's Network Services (NSN) arm said that along with NTT Docomo it will develop a 5G proof of concept (PoC) system, which follows a memorandum of understanding signed by the two companies in January. Previously, NSN has collaborated with the Japanese mobile operator on research surrounding 3G and LTE technologies.
Nokia said that the 5G research aims to ensure that future 5G networks meet the demands of operators, by guaranteeing cell-edge rates in excess of 100Mbps and reducing latency by a factor of 10, as the firm looks to aid the "transition towards higher bandwidths and super-fast mobile broadband".
To do so, Nokia said the two firms will research the future of radio access systems, and will initially look at exploring the potential of millimetre wave technology on the 70GHz spectrum band.
Hossein Moiin, EVP and CTO of Nokia Networks said, "Expanding our cooperation with NTT DOCOMO on 5G radio technology is an important step towards defining future mobile networks.
"Future wireless networks will interconnect not just humans but also machines and objects, creating a vibrant overlay of virtual and physical worlds with a huge variety of use cases. Together with the industry, we need to make sure that 5G technology offers the right tenets to serve these use cases flexibly and profitably."
NTT Docomo CTO Dr Zeizo Onoe added, "We chose Nokia as our partner for the 5G research project based on its clear vision as well as its extensive mobile broadband experience and technology leadership."
In a separate announcement, NTT Docomo announced that, along with NSN, it will also be conducting 5G trials with Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Fujitsu, NEC and Samsung.
Huawei is also betting big on 5G, having announced last year that it will pump $600m into research and development of the technology. µ

I have a Netbook (Samsung N210) running Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition. Generally, I'm very happy with it. However, I'm not getting quite as much battery life out of it as I expected based on the manufacturer's claims (and from what I have read elsewhere) - perhaps 4-5 hours, even when doing simple text editing etc.
I tried installing the
laptop-mode-tools package, which seemed extremely disk spindown happy - the disk spun up and down a lot - maybe every 5 seconds. I know laptop disks are designed for frequent spindowns, but that made me nervous and I uninstalled it. The alternative seems to be the default package
pm-utils-powersave-policy, but that seems to almost never spin down.
Incidentally, I have the checkbox "Spin down hard disks when possible" checked in my Power Management Preferences, but I'm not clear what that affects or interacts with - it would be interesting to know.
So: what should I do? I'd like to eke out a bit more battery life, but the laptop-mode-tools settings seem extremely aggressive out-of-the-box. I know they can be tuned, but there seems to be a huge number of them - I'd prefer something more out-of-the-box and tested.

Pizza Rock claims to take pizza to the next level and if you give it a try, it will make a believer out of you. This is not your everyday pizza joint. When we arrived the rock music was pounding and the Travel Channel was filming an episode of "Food Paradise" - yes, the food is THAT good!
Tony Gemignani is an 11 time World Pizza Champion. Combine that with the vision of George Karpaty and the nightlife expertise of Trevor Hewitt and these three best friends have come up with a winner. Check out the Pizza Rock website at: www.pizzarocklasvegas.com .
The menu features a huge selection of gourmet pizzas with both Italian and American pizza styles, all cooked in one of the restaurant's four different ovens. Napoletana pizzas are fired in a 900 degree oven and includes the "Margherita" pizza with a limit of 73 made per day - it was the World Pizza Cup Winner in Naples, Italy. Their Romana pizzas are very long thin pizzas that can serve up to 5 people and are cooked in a 700 degree Electric Brick Oven. The American Originals are prepared in a 550 degree gas brick oven and feature tomato sauce, mozzarella and a rustic medium crust, with 5 different variations of artisan toppings. Their California pizzas use Caputo Flour and are cooked in their 900 degree wood fire oven. They also have a weekly special they call the "Farmers Market" that features ingredients from the Downtown Farmers Market. But wait, there is more! Their Classic Italian Pizzas are prepared in the 650 degree Gas Brick Oven and includes the "Cal Italia" which was the Gold Medal Winner in the Food Network Pizza Champions Challenge. Along with the vine-ripened tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on the Classic Italian pizzas, the "Cal Italia" also includes Asiago, Imported Gorgonzola, Sweet Fig Preserve, Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Balsamic Reduction. Wow - you really need to go to the website and check out the ingredients they put on these pizzas! This list of heavenly pizza selections isn't done yet - the New York/New Haven pizzas include the "New Yorker" which was the winner of "Best Traditional Pizza in the World, Las Vegas". We tried that one and can see why it won the award! Their Sicilian Style serves up to 5 people and is prepared in the 550 degree gas brick oven and includes the "La Regina" which was the Gold Cup Winner in the International Pizza Championships in Parma, Italy. If you are a fan of cracker thin crust, try one of the Chicago Cracker Thin offerings which are prepared in the 650 degree gas brick oven using Ceresota Flour. They even offer a Gluten Free pizza.
Pizza Rock is more than just pizza - they also have a selection of pastas, calzones, Stromboli, antipasti and salads all with a focus on authentic Italian ingredients and organically-grown produce. All fresh pasta and many other ingredients are made on-premises. Be sure to check out the grinders, meatball subs and house-made vanilla soft serve and toppings too! Just in case someone in your party isn't in the mood for pizza, they also offer burgers and sandwiches.
The inside of the restaurant is much larger than it appears from the outside - there is even a big-rig truck parked in there! They have a full bar that focuses on hand-crafted artisan cocktails with an extensive draft and bottled beer list. Their collection of wines places a focus on California and Italy. The seating is very comfortable and their are views of the many TV's featuring Rock performances from anywhere in the restaurant. There is a room off to the side that is perfect for larger groups. Our group of 15 had a wonderful experience and the wait staff were friendly and efficient. They are open late and have a killer sound system with DJ's Thursday - Saturday nights. According the their website, guests are encouraged to go for the food and stay for the fun!
If you are just out for a stroll in the downtown area and are in the mood for pizza, you can order and be served from the sidewalk and they have outdoor seating so you can enjoy your pizza while you "people-watch".

The Iowa Hawkeyes face Purdue in Iowa City
In his first season as head coach, Wilson guided the Hawkeyes to both team and individual success. Wilson guided and molded a lineup that comprised mostly of four freshmen to a ranking as high as 45th nationally -- its highest ranking ever since the ITA expanded their rankings. Iowa amassed more wins than the previous 23 seasons, including two wins over ranked opponents and five against Big Ten competition, which are the most wins over league competition in five years.
Individually, Matt Hagan became Iowa's 18th student-athlete to be recognized on the first All-Big Ten team. The senior was ranked as high as 79th nationally in singles and 31st in doubles with partner Dominic Patrick. Hagan and Patrick made history last fall becoming only the second Iowa first-flight Big Ten Doubles champions, and first since 1958, in program history. Hagan also became just the third Hawkeye, and first since 1999, to reach the ITA Regionals Semifinals in singles.
Undaunted by having a lineup stacked with freshmen, Wilson was able to get the most of his young and talented roster. Three freshmen shared the team lead in singles victories in fall and spring competition. Jake Jacoby, Josh Silverstein and Lefteris Theodorou all recorded 20 singles wins. Silverstein also had success at the Big Ten Indoor Singles Championships, advancing to the semifinals.
Wilson began his Iowa coaching career in the fall of 2013 as an assistant coach. In his first season with the Hawkeyes Wilson made an immediate impact, helping the program secure a pair of five-star recruits in Silverstein and Jacoby.
Wilson, the 2012 ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year and ITA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year, came to Iowa after serving as assistant coach at nationally-ranked San Diego during the 2012-13 season.
Wilson was a standout at national power Ohio State from 2002-06. He was a two-time NCAA All-American and three-time ITA national doubles champion. Wilson broke the Buckeyes' overall career wins record, career doubles wins record and single season doubles wins record in 2006.

Born in Israel in 1972.
I've Been devoting my life to Street and Documentary photography for the past three years.
Street photography for me is more than a genre of photography, it's an approach to photography and to life. It is how I look at the world and how I see it even if I don't have a camera. I make pictures by intuition, because I feel that I need to click the exposure button at that exact time. I do not plan or stage my photos, I let life unfold before me and capture and present it as I see it, as I feel it. I'm an observer of humanity and life, my role is to document the world I live in.
My hope is for my work to become a part of a global pool of documentations for future generations so they will be able to learn and understand the times I live in.

Every year during simulator training I know a balked landing is on the list of tasks to accomplish. And if I'm training in a jet, the maneuver will almost certainly come at the end of a low weather instrument approach with one engine failed.
I don't know of an official definition of a balked landing that makes it different from a go-around. The way the balked landing term is generally used is that the actual landing procedure has begun and must be aborted. A go-around generally begins at a higher altitude and lacks the urgency of the balked landing.
So, to me a missed approach at the typical ILS decision height of 200 feet agl is a go-around. There is still plenty of energy available to get the power in, raise the nose and bring the gear up when climb is established. On many airplanes flaps are immediately raised from landing position to approach as soon as you start the go-around.
But a balked landing begins after you have begun to adjust the sink rate, and probably the power in preparation for the landing flare. Of course, in the extreme balked landing case you are in the flare and the power is coming back. Usually those happen in the simulator when a truck or other airplane taxies onto the runway right in front of you.
The reason to practice balked landings is that, I'm happy to say, the need to perform one in normal flying is pretty rare. Other than for practice, I can't say that I have ever made a balked landing for real. But the situation can and does occur, and when it happens for real it will come as a surprise and there will be no time for review.
I can't say one reaction is more important than the other, but to stop sinking and start climbing you need to pitch up and add power. Adding power and waiting on the pitch will keep you going down, but pitching up without all available power is going to bleed airspeed off like crazy. The two reactions must be as close as possible to simultaneous. If you're in a turbine airplane it will take a few seconds to get the full power response, but you still have to get the nose up to halt the descent.
In some airplanes the problem will be keeping the nose from pitching too far up when the power comes in. Two airplanes that come to mind that may be a handful are the Mooney and Cessna 182. In both airplanes trimmed for landing approach with full flaps, a big boost of power is going to raise the nose and you will find yourself pushing hard to maintain the desired attitude until you can retrim. None of us can push away from our body one-handed with the same authority as we can pull so you may need to get that other hand off the throttle and onto the wheel.
In most airplanes flap position during a balked landing is more important than extended landing gear. If the wing flaps are very large and effective for landing, they are probably going to reduce climb performance a lot. Some singles may not climb at all with full flaps if the airplane is heavy and the density altitude high so flap retraction is crucial. On more powerful airplanes the procedure may be to leave the flaps alone until you have a positive rate of climb and the airplane is accelerating.
Of course the most urgent need to make a balked landing would be when you hear the propeller tips striking the pavement. More than one pilot has poured on the power when he realized the wheels are up and made it around to land. But others haven't. Once the prop strikes the runway the propeller itself, or the engine, may not hold together after full power comes in and you will end up in a critical situation. If the prop hits first, just be happy that you remembered to pay the insurance premium if not to lower the wheels and slide it on. Nobody is ever hurt in unintentional gear-up landings.

We were well looked after on arrival, being allowed to check in a bit early to our room.
The decor of the room was lovely - tasteful and modern - I hate old fashioned cluttered rooms. The shower worked well and everything was clean. The breakfast was devious with plenty of choice - although in winter porridge would be a nice extra option.

The Brazil 2014 FIFA World Cup is just around the corner. In this edition of the tournament, CONCACAF, the Confederation of North and Central American and Caribbean Football, has four nations representing the region. The United States of America, Costa Rica and Honduras qualified directly to the tournament. Mexico earned their ticket after winning a home and away playoff against Oceania Football Confederation representative, New Zealand. In this edition we'll look at the probable goalkeepers that could be guarding their nation's posts in South America.
Tim Howard - USA
The United States Men's National Team won the final hexagonal and qualified as the top team in the region ending the final phase with 22 points. The USMNT were unbeatable at home winning their five games on U.S. soil. One of the players responsible for this was Tim Howard "the Duck." Of the chosen three, Howard has the most experience defending the U.S. net with 97 appearances. During the hexagonal, the 35 year-old Howard participated in seven games. He won five games with four shutouts. However, in the two losses the 6'3" 210lbs New Jersey native gave up five goals.
Howard made his World Cup debut against England in South Africa 2010. He was a key player in the 1-1 draw that helped the USMNT reach the Round of 16. The Everton FC goalkeeper should be USMNT Coach Jurgen Klinsmann's first choice to start for the USA against the Group G competition. Howard will have to defend his net against Portugal and Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo; heavy favorites Germany, and Ghana.
Keylor Navas - Costa Rica
If there is one team that had bad fortune at the world cup draw, it would be Costa Rica. The "Ticos" will be facing three former FIFA World Cup Champions. England won the title in 1966, Uruguay won the initial world cup in 1930, then again in 1950. The Azurri have taken the world cup to Italy on four occasions, 1934, 1938, 1982, and recently in 2006. It will be Nava's responsibility to stop players like England's Wayne Rooney of Manchester United, Italy's Mario Balotelli of AC Milan, and Uruguay's Luis Suarez of Liverpool FC. It is a daunting task for the 27 year-old keeper who defends Spanish La Liga side Levante UD. Despite the odds, don't count Costa Rica out. Smaller teams have surprised their competition in past world cups.
Noel Valladares - Honduras
Noel Valladares is the senior man when it comes to goalkeepers. The 37 year-old keeper has been a post on the Honduras lineup and has been playing with the national team since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Qualifiers. He has played in 119 games for Honduras and defends his nations' CD Olimpia. In South Africa 2010, Valladares defended the Catrachos' net in all three games they participated in, which included a 0-0 against Switzerland.
Honduras may have the most manageable group, with Ecuador, Switzerland and France in the first round of Brazil 2014. Valladares will have to at his best if Honduras wants to reach the Round of 16.
Guillermo Ochoa - Mexico
Mexico has three good goalkeepers, so there has been debate over who should guard El Tri's net. Some argue for Cruz Azul keeper Jose de Jesus Corona, while there are staunch supporters for Ochoa who plays for AC Ajaccio of France's Ligue 1. Despite being one of Mexico's best goalkeepers, the 28 year-old has yet to get game time at the World Cup. He was on the squad that travelled to South Africa 2010, but was passed over for Oscar "Conejo" Perez by then coach Javier Aguirre. Ochoa had been the starting keeper and played in seven games registering three shutouts. For 2014, Ochoa played in four WCQ games, including the crucial game against Panama in Mexico City.
At FIFA level, Ochoa was part of the Mexican squad that played in Brazil for the 2013 Confederations Cup representing CONCACAF. Then Coach Jose Manuel de la Torre did not utilize Ochoa until the third game against Japan. At that point, Mexico had been eliminated from the competition. If El Tri is to advance to the Round of 16, Ochoa will have to be his calm and cool self under the posts. Mexico is in Group A with hosts Brazil, Cameroon and Croatia.

The New Zealand dollar fell ahead of tomorrow's December inflation figures which are seen as feeding into the Reserve Bank's interest rate outlook, and after an earthquake in the lower North Island caused a brief flurry of selling.
The kiwi traded at 82.43 US cents at 5pm in Wellington from 82.46 cents at 8am, down from 82.62 cents on Friday in New York. The trade-weighted index declined to 78.37 from 78.61 last week.
New Zealand's consumers price index is forecast to have fallen 0.1 percent in the final three months of 2013, for an annual rate of 1.5 percent, according to a Reuters survey. The RBNZ plans to hike interest rates this year to head off the threat of inflation, and investors will be watching the CPI to gauge when governor Graeme Wheeler might start tightening policy. Traders are betting the 2.5 percent official cash rate will rise 109 basis points over the coming 12 months, according to the Overnight Index Swap curve.
"CPI looms large - we know it's a key figure, especially with all the talk being about interest rates at the moment," said Alex Hill, head of dealing at HiFX in Auckland. "It might impact on the tone from Wheeler at the end of the month."
Today's 6.3 magnitude earthquake in the Lower North Island sparked a brief drop in the local currency, which it has since recovered, though Hill said the strength of the US dollar will keep the kiwi under pressure.
Real Estate Institute figures today showed New Zealand's housing market continued to slow in December, with fewer sales and a decline in the median sale price in Auckland, which has been a key driver over the past year.
A BusinessDesk survey of six traders and strategists predicts the local currency will trade between 81.20 US cents and 84.20 cents this week. Four predict the kiwi will fall this week, while one expects it to gain and one sees it largely unchanged.
The kiwi fell to 85.72 yen at 5pm in Wellington from 86.20 yen last week, and declined to 93.87 Australian cents from 94.12 cents. It slipped to 60.93 euro cents from 61.04 cents on Friday in New York, and edged down to 50.22 British pence from 50.34 pence.
