We should consider a ban on New Jersey.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
This video is a true story, and one of the best representative programs I've ever seen on our 2nd amendment rights. They weren't just for prevention of Tyranny on the Federal level. Tyranny exists on local levels. I fully understand what is meant about the Chicago Political machine; and, why Chicago has the most stringent gun laws. Even if you are a bleeding heart liberal Democrat, this should open your eyes as to why the second amendment is in place. It protects all the others. Feel free to share this video, it needs to be seen by the entire nation.
But its a great law, any upstanding criminal wouldnt go across state lines and buy ammo and then go back into joisy and shoot anyone, cant you people realize this?! Gosh, hard headed people! On a more serious note, thats why all of the democrats wanted gov cholestoral to run for pres. They would get a democrat either way. Always remember, the only thing worse than a liberal democrat is a liberal republican.
State by state take a look at what ILL has brewing.
20-65 dollar fee for every gun you own plus 2% tax on ammo and that tax can keep going up and up
Ask a smoker how it works with the tax game

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 grosses $1bn in 15 Days
Business is good
FIRST PERSON SHOOTER GAME Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has grossed $1bn in just 15 days.
That is a lot of money in anyone's currency and publisher Activision has been only too happy to tell us how much cash it made and how quickly it made it.
The game's predecessor Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 took a whole 24 hours longer to pull in the same amount, while Ferngully revisited movie Avatar took 24 more hours than that.
In total, the Call of Duty canon has made more money than the space opera Star Wars and the scared boy goes to weird private school Harry Potter films put together.
"The release of Call of Duty has been one of the most significant entertainment events of each of the last six years," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard.
"Since Call of Duty was launched, cumulative franchise revenues from players around the world are greater than current worldwide box office receipts to date for the top-10 grossing films of 2012 combined. Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Wars,' the two most successful movie franchises of all time."
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 hasn't just been bought, it has also been played. Activision reckons that 150 million hours of gameplay have taken place, and we'll venture that most of those hours could been used to tidy up a bedroom or two.
"Entertainment franchises that captivate audiences for as long as Call of Duty has, on the scale that Call of Duty has, are very rare things. And it takes a lot of brilliant people working across many different disciplines to make it happen. It is incredibly humbling and gratifying to be a part of," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.
"In order for Call of Duty to remain the entertainment juggernaut that it is, and keep our fans coming back for more, we need to continue to bring fresh ideas and new innovations to the table every time, while always staying true to what people fell in love with in the first place. This is an incredible milestone for an incredible franchise." µ

Test anxiety; such a major part of our children's public education. I thought to myself, what we need is a personal accounting of how tests impact kids. For this reason, I provide to the readers a first hand accounting of the 24 hours before a test as seen through my eyes.
I picked up my children at school yesterday. They had their checklist of intrusions to ensure that school is more important than any other aspect of their lives. The teacher's suggestion list included how to eat, sleep, and regulate their behavior. The test is more important than any other aspect of their life, and they need to follow this list. At this point, the teachers job is complete. They have convinced my children nothing is more important than a standardized test!
The next step is to get the children home. Discussions will be different tonight around the dinner table. Countless discussions regarding how they are nervous about tomorrow's test will replace discussions such as what our dog did that made us laugh. Dinner goes well, but they are concerned about what they eat. "Dad, I have to go to bed by 8pm." and "Tomorrow we have to have eggs and oatmeal." recounted over and over again. Mission Accomplished! School has intruded on the most important part of family time. Discussions around dinner have been successfully replaced for one evening with discussions about standardized testing.
Bedtime....some anxiety over the amount of sleep they need for tomorrow. Alarm clocks checked over and over again. Breakfast routines checked and rechecked. All is good until tomorrow. Again, mission accomplished. Bedtimes routines disturbed by anxiety.
Tomorrow arrives, it's only 2 hours before school. One child wakes up and can not eat. Slight temperature, wants to stay home. The other child is nervously optimistic. Breakfast goes okay for now. The child that can not eat tries to eat a banana. He wants to stay home. I tell him if he does not go, the school will have a retest day. (Oh my goodness, I feel so good using negative reinforcement.) He decides to go to school instead of missing a day with his friends. Breakfast routines interrupted by testing. Only one step next.
We make it to school. Mission Accomplished.
Thank you common core, the publishers, test providers, and teachers. If it was not for you, out children's lives would not have the anxiety you bring to the table every day in public education. Only 9 more years to go and this nightmare will finally be over.

What materials did you use? I used a 25 strip Jelly Roll as this meant the strips were already cut to the right size. There were 6 different coloured strips. I made 8 Strippy Spool blocks which I used on the sides then used the rest of the Jelly Roll to make some blocks shown by Jenny Doan. It went together really easily.

There's something delightfully second grade about installing cubbies in your home. We haven't thought much about cubbies since elementary school, and truthfully, just saying the word "cubbies" aloud is a pretty pleasant experience. Almost as pleasant as the sight of the stylized Wire Mesh Cubby ($99); we can't wait to store things other than schoolwork in it.

We usually spend the first five minutes of every gym visit standing on the treadmill trying to untangle the earphones that got thrown in a bag with hair ties and brushes. Every other organization technique involves us wrapping up the wires nicely after every use, and we just don't have the patience for that. The Round Earphone Winder ($6) is small and light and will keep the cord from knotting in on itself whenever you use it - which is probably always, right?

The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
The Book Thief Chapter 60 Summary
The Idiot And The Coat Men
- It's the same night. We are told that Hans, who Death is now calling "the idiot" (60.1) (probably referring to how Hans feels about himself), is having some coffee, waiting for someone to come and arrest him.
- Rosa tries to make him go to bed, but he doesn't listen.
- He keeps saying, "What have I done?" (60.6).
- He's out of cigarettes, and Liesel can't think of a way to help him.
- She goes to her room and prays Max will survive.
- In the morning, she finds Hans asleep in the kitchen, still waiting for them to come for him.
- He's truly upset that he hasn't been arrested.
- Liesel says, "You can't have known that they wouldn't come, Papa" (60.22).
- He says, "I should have known not to give that man some bread. I just didn't think" (60.23).
- Liesel tells him he's innocent of wrongdoing.
- It doesn't help.
- Four days later Hans returns from the river with the note.
- Another week goes by.
- Liesel sees Hans walking by the river on many occasions.
- We are given the eight word from Liesel's dictionary, "Nachtrauern – Regret" (60.36).
- One day, at the river, Liesel asks Hans if he's seen Max.
- They look into the river and see the shape of his face in the water.
- Hans calls himself "an idiot" (60.33).
- A year later she will find the words for him: "You're just a man" (60.35). She will wish she'd had them at this moment.
- Hans admits he wants to be arrested. What's killing him is "waiting" (60.37).
- Why does he want to be arrested? If he's arrested, it will show that "Max Vandenburg left his house for a good reason" (60.38).
- Three weeks from the night Max leaves, Hans thinks it's finally going to happen. His arrest.
- Liesel shows him: men in black overcoats, the Gestapo (German Secret Police) are coming down the street.
- They pass the Hubermann house. Hans calls out to them, "Hey. I'm right here. It's me you want. I live in this one" (60.50).
- They tell him he's not young enough for what they want.
- They go next door. To the Steiner's house.
- We are told, "The coat men want Rudy" (60.58).

Hardware Avenue have posted what is the definitive guide to MP3 audio. Covering such aspects as ripping, encoding, playback and more.
How many times have you listened to MP3s only to find them ruined by clicks, pops, skips and overall poor sound quality? Now, this is curable. There is a lot of information about MP3 on the web. Unfortunately, it's also largely scattered hither, thither and yon and worse yet, some of it is old and out of date. What I want to do here is collect some of the valid and useful information into one place, add some helpful tips thus giving you a starting point for creating and playing back quality MP3s.More information at Hardware Avenue

One of the things NAT has permitted us to do in the past decade is split physical services onto different servers whilst hiding behind a single interface.
For example, I have
example.com behind a NAT on
192.0.2.10. I port-forward
:80 and
:443 to my web server. I'm also port forward
:25 to my mail server, and
:3389 to a terminal server and
:8080 to the web interface of my computer that downloads torrents, and the story goes on.
So I have 5 port forwardings going to 4 different computers on
Then, I go and get me some neat IPv6. I assign
example.com an IPv6 address of
2001:db8:88:200::10. That's great for my websites, but I want to go to
example.com:8080 to get to my torrents, or
example:3389 to log on to my terminal server.
How can I do this with IPv6, as there is no NAT. Sure, I could create a bunch of new DNS entries for each new service, but then I have to update all my clients who are used to just typing
example.com to get to either the website or the terminal server. My users are dumber than two bricks so they won't remember to connect to
What options do I have for keeping NAT-style functionality with IPv6?
In case you haven't figured it out, the above scenario is not a real scenario for me, or perhaps anyone yet, but it's bound to happen eventually. You know, with devops and all.

While San Diego tummy tucks are not just for women anymore, typically, females plan for them ahead of time. And for course, the popularity of tummy tucks fan nationwide.
Many women know all too well that after having one or more babies, exercise and healthy eating can help her lose those "after baby" pounds. But what may not change is tightening up skin which sags on the belly and regaining that "pre-baby" day body.
This is where a tummy tuck is a great option to help her achieve those aesthetic goals.
Also known as an abdominoplasty, this surgery not only eliminates excess skin on her belly, but it can correct diastasis recti (also known as abdominal separation that can be seen as a ridge running down the midline of the abdomen). During the tummy tuck, a San Diego board certified plastic surgeon can reconnect those abdominal muscles and help regain abdominal muscle strength. And during this surgery, one of the best results is excising and decreasing the appearance of stretch marks.
Typically, liposuction is used during the surgery to help slim the waistline and abdominal area.
Ideally, it is best for a woman to have the procedure when she has completed her family, but if a woman desires another child, it is recommend waiting at least a year after her tummy tuck.
After the birth a tummy tuck revision could be done.
But the best plan is to have babies first and a tummy tuck later.
At any rate, before having the procedure, both men and women should maintain a stable weight for two reasons. If a patient decides to lose weight after the procedure, they will have to contend with more sagging skin. On the other hand, if a person gains weight after the procedure, the already delicate skin may be compromised with scarring distortion and stretch marks.
The person does not have to be the perfect weight for their height, but where they feel comfortable and discover their perfect weight.

Shortstop Andy Cannizaro started
the triple-play that
sealed Wednesday's 8-7 win.
April 29, 1999
NEW ORLEANS, La. - Holding on to a one-run lead, Tulane turned a game-ending triple-play to seal an 8-7 win over Nicholls State at Turchin Stadium on Wednesday.
With runners on first and second, Lee Molaison hit a ground ball to Tulane short stop Andy Cannizaro, who fielded the ball and tagged out Ed Marquez who tried to advance to third for out number one. Cannizaro then flipped the ball to James Jurries, for out number two at second base. Jurries relayed the ball to Mickey McKee at first to complete the climactic triple-play.
Barth Melius got the win for Tulane improving to 2-1 on the year. After relieving Jared Robinson in the fifth, Melius pitched 3 1/3 innings, giving up two hits, no runs, while striking out five.
Tulane surged to an 8-2 lead after scoring five runs in the third inning. Jason Sparks, Steve Shirley, Jake Gautreau and Nick Herz all sent runs home in the third. The Colonels held the Wave scoreless for the remainder of the game.
The Colonels worked at the Tulane lead and came within one run of the Wave after a four-run fifth inning. Nicholls never lead the game, despite out hitting the Green Wave 15-9.
Leading the Wave at the plate, was Shirley who went 3-for-4 with two doubles and scored two runs. For Nicholls, Robert Davis and Jeff Loenard went 3-for-5.
Tulane travels to Missouri this weekend to play a three-game series against Saint Louis University. The first game is scheduled for Friday at 6:30.

I want to use a 2-D array as a hash table, in C, it's like:
hash[1][2] = 1
and in Python, I tried:
hash = {}
hash[1,2] = 1
But it turns out to be very slow.
So how to implement a 2-D hash table efficiently in Python?
My program is a computing heavy one. Since Python dict allocates memory dynamically, I can see that the program is waiting for memory allocation in the run time, while the CPU usage is sometimes low, sometimes high.
A C-style 2-D array should be OK but I don't know how to implement it in Python.

Littlerock Movie Reviews
User reviews on Littlerock
This is an indie film that is directed by Mike Ott and stars Atsuko Okatsuka, Cory Zacharia and Rintaro Sawamoto. The film takes for freaking ever to start, basically nothing happens in the first half of the film. I was almost ready to walk out when the film finally started, I do not like that, i do not have enough patience for that. The dialogue in the film is pretty ridiculius and the characters are boring and the main character does not even speak English. I think that the film is pretty amazing visually and I was more interested in the scenery than the characters. Overall, i do not recommend seeing this film in the theaters because you will be bored out of your mind.
This is an indie drama directed by Mike Ottand stars Atsuko Okatsuka, Cory Zacharia and Rintaro Sawamoto. I am not sure if this film is my cup of tea but it was interesting and definitely intriguing. The main character Atsuko does not speak English and the audience is expected to understand her from the gestures and meaningful looks that she gives, it is weird but it kind of works for this film. The movie is acted very well and I was really impressed by Atsuko Okatsuka, she played her part very well. I also really liked Cory Zacharia, he was truly excellent in this movie. Overall, i think it is better to see this film at home instead of paying for the movie ticket.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of aerosolized pentamidine and of reduced-dose intravenous pentamidine for the treatment of mild to moderate Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Design: Randomized open study with serial pulmonary function testing and measurement of pentamidine concentrations in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
Patients: Of 44 men and 1 woman with a mild to moderate first episode of P. carinii pneumonia (PaO2 ≥ 7.3 kPa [55 mm Hg]), 23 received aerosolized pentamidine and 22, intravenous pentamidine.
Interventions: Pentamidine isethionate, 600 mg by inhalation using a Respirgard II nebulizer (Marquest Medical Products, Inc., Englewood, Colorado) or 3 mg/kg body weight intravenously, administered once daily for 2 to 3 weeks.
Measurements and Main Results: The planned 60-patient study was stopped after 45 patients had been enrolled. The rates (aerosolized compared with intravenous pentamidine) of initial failure, early recrudescence of symptoms, and relapse were 12% and 19% (difference, 7%; 99% confidence interval [CI], -23% to 37%; P = 0.67), 35% and 0% (difference, 35%; CI, 13% to 58%; P = 0.02), and 24% and 0% (difference, 24%; CI, 4% to 49%; P = 0.03). The rates (aerosolized compared with intravenous pentamidine) of major toxicity were 0% (0 of 17 patients) and 10% (2 of 21 patients) (difference 10%; CI, -1% to 29%; P = 0.24). The mean (±SD) pentamidine concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid for patients receiving aerosolized pentamidine was 96.6 ± 65.1 ng/mL compared with 14.4 ± 17.7 ng/mL for patients receiving intravenous treatment. Trough concentrations of pentamidine in plasma increased from 0 to 25.4 ± 16.4, 56.5 ± 26.1, and 61.1 ± 56.0 ng/mL at the end of weeks 1, 2, and 3 of intravenous therapy, respectively.
Conclusions: The data suggest that reduced-dose intravenous pentamidine was more effective than aerosolized pentamidine for treating mild to moderate P. carinii pneumonia. Systemic absorption during aerosolized therapy was minimal; daily doses of intravenous pentamidine resulted in increased accumulation of pentamidine in plasma.

Crafty Korea plans to arouse Latin America long after the World Cup hype and hijinks pass. Cue KBEE 2014 (Korea Brand and Entertainment Expo) in Sao Paulo, Brazil at the Sao Paulo World Trade Center, and REM (Roadshow for Emerging Markets) in Mexico City, Mexico at the Marriott Reforma Hotel.
The aforementioned events are separate but related in several ways, most notably the dates (mid August) and the agenda (to facilitate mutually beneficial networking among prominent Korean and Latin American companies and individuals). In short, the goal is to flood Latin America with the Korean Wave.
Both gatherings feature hefty entertainment components. Friday, August 15 in Sao Paulo, and Tuesday, August 19 in Mexico City are the designated days for select Korean content businesses to strut their stuff. KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency) will sponsor six Korean companies in their efforts to seek collaborative opportunities. These entities will present themselves live in both Brazil and Mexico:
Rainbowbridge Agency, Inc. - With offices throughout Asia, this is the top K-Pop artist management, production, and promotion firm. Newsflash for fans: live K-Pop performances are on the agenda in Sao Paulo! The price of admission: FREE!
PlayOnCast Corporation - PlayOnCast produces and distributes Korean reality series and documentaries. Its business also includes Korean-Chinese and Korean-Japanese co-productions in the above genres.
Grafizix Company, Ltd. - Grafizix researches, develops, and produces original animation for TV and digital media.
COAN Studio - In addition to animation, COAN Studio licenses and merchandises its creations in Korea.
WonderWorld Studios, Inc. - With a satellite office in Los Angeles and a 12-year track record, WonderWorld is poised to expand on its success record in visual effects, 2D/3D conversion, and theatrical feature film quality animation.
Black Spot Entertainment - Former Nexon employees founded this first-person-shooter online game development company in 2011.
Los Angeles-based confab coordinator Kamile DePriest enthuses about attracting potential Latin American buyers and collaborators to the forthcoming festivities.
"These events are a wonderful opportunity for businesses all over the world to connect and gain knowledge about trends in technology and entertainment," says DePriest.
For details about complimentary admission to either (or both) conferences and K-Pop shows, contact DePriest at email@example.com.

The frame-work of an agreement which will allow the Catholic 7 group of schools to break away from the Big East by this July as well as take the 'Big East" name has been reached, with an official announcement expected by Wednesday or Thursday, barring some last-minute snag.
But while that was going on, Big East officials were also looking at life without the Catholic 7 and are seriously considering choosing Hartford as the site of the first New/Old Big East post season conference basketball tournament, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
As has been previously reported by a Jerseyguy. com, the three Big East football schools who are part of the full revenue sharing plan–Cincinnati, South Florida and Connecticut–will be the primary beneficiaries, with each school expected to be paid between 20 and 25 million dollars each from a cash reserve that sources say is in excess of 100 million dollars.
The Catholic 7 schools–DePaul, Seton Hall, St. John's, Providence, Villanova, Marquette and Georgetown are still negotiating their share, which could be as much as $5 million per school, but is likey somewhere between $3 and 5 million.
The other Big East schools who will form the rest of the newly configured conference in football and basketball are also expected to split another $10 million.
Aside from the financial considerations involving both conferences, a prime topic of debate has been determining a landing-place for the post season basketball tournament. New York's Madison Square Garden has been the anchor for the Big East tournament since 1983. The Garden is expected to make an arrangement with the Catholic 7 league to play next year's tournament in New York as well, once the break up is official.
Which leaves the old new Big East, call it the Big Metro Athletic Conference (BMAC), looking for a place to play, with Hartford the likely first stop in what will be rotating series of sites for a conference which will have UConn, Temple, Cincinnati and Memphis as its basketball anchors.
Hartford would be a logical and prudent choice for a variety of reasons. In the infancy of the Big East before the Garden was chosen as a permanent anchor, the Big East moved its post season tournament from Providence to Syracuse to Hartford in 1982.
Moving to Hartford would virtually guarantee a sellout because of the UConn connection, plus it would be the conference's way of giving an additional benefit to UConn, which has made it clear that it would not hesitate to jump off the Big East bandwagon should the Big Ten, ACC or Big 12 offer invitations.
Like the early days of the Big East conference, the tournament would rotate on a yearly basis for the first few seasons, with Hartford, Memphis, Dallas, Philadelphia, and New York/New Jersey all regarded as potential sites.
All of these moves are contingent on getting the break up deal signed with the Catholic 7, which should be announced in the next few days.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2006 Article IV Consultation with MauritaniaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 06/74
July 7, 2006
Revised: 07/26/06
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On June 21, 2006, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Mauritania.1
The Mauritanian transition authorities, in office since the regime change in August 2005, implemented an impressive policy shift toward transparency and good governance. They have decided to fully cooperate on the data issues that had plagued the relations with the Fund since early 2004 and revised most economic and financial data that had been provided to the Fund since 1992. The revised data show substantially looser macroeconomic fiscal and monetary policies, and lower official reserve accumulation than previously reported to the Fund. The long-lasting provision of erroneous data in the past led to misinformed policy advice, which proved costly for the country.2
The new authorities swiftly embarked on a course of macroeconomic stabilization and reforms. They banned the previous practices of off-budget spending and aligned the fiscal stance with the tight monetary stance adopted by the Central Bank of Mauritania (BCM) since mid-2004, founded on its no government deficit financing policy. As a result, inflation returned to single-digit levels in the last quarter of 2005 and Mauritania's external position—which has also benefited from improving terms of trade since 2005—started to strengthen.
In February 2006, Mauritania became an exporter of crude oil from an offshore field, with daily production averaging 54,000 barrels over the past three months. The oil investment-related activity helped maintain real growth in 2005 above 5 percent and, with the arrival of oil production, real growth is expected to attain nearly 20 percent in 2006. Non-oil real GDP growth (projected at 6½ percent) will be supported by new mining activity (copper and gold) and a substantial increase in public investment. Mauritania's improved external position would allow for a buildup of international reserves to nearly 1/ months of imports at end-2006.
The authorities have launched a staff-monitored program (SMP) covering the first half of 2006, to maintain the disinflation and fiscal consolidation momentum and implement key reforms in the areas of data transparency, oil revenue management, and public expenditure management. The SMP is firmly on track. Fiscal and monetary aggregates were well within the end-March 2006 targets and all structural indicators have been realized. Under the program, Mauritania proceeded with a timely closure of the 2005 supplementary budget, reduced domestic payment arrears, initiated a monthly reporting of the central government financial operations based on reconciled Treasury and BCM data, and adopted a functional classification of expenditure enabling the identification and tracking of poverty-reducing spending. The authorities also made steps toward establishing an efficient and transparent management of oil revenues, through adherence to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and the creation of the National Hydrocarbon Revenue Fund (FNRH), which is now operational. Further steps are expected, including the publication of the production sharing contracts, quarterly reports on production and exports, and the certified FNRH statements, which shall be audited on a regular basis by a reputable international firm. Satisfactory implementation of the SMP is expected to pave the way for a new PRGF-supported program.
Mauritania has implemented all the remedial actions requested to qualify for the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI), including the resolution of the data issues, six months of satisfactory macroeconomic performance, and implementation of the remedial actions in budget formulation, execution, and reporting. Mauritania's debt relief from the IMF, the World Bank's International Development Association, and the African Development Fund of the African Development Bank, would amount to about US$400 million in net present value (NPV) terms, representing about 36.5 percent of the estimated NPV of public external debt at end-2006. The purpose of the MDRI is to accelerate eligible countries' progress towards the Millennium Development Goals by cancelling their debt to the above-mentioned creditors, and by ensuring that the corresponding resources are allocated to poverty reduction.
The authorities have decided to take advantage of the strong fiscal and external outlook for 2006 to further consolidate public finances and liberalize the foreign exchange system. The expected oil revenue and the maintenance of fiscal discipline are estimated to result in an overall fiscal surplus of some 10 percent of non-oil GDP, to be largely channeled toward the reduction of domestic government debt and payment arrears. The BCM is expected to remove the remaining restrictions under Article VIII of the Fund's Articles of Agreement and to allow for larger flexibility in exchange rate determination through the launching of an interbank currency auction market.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the substantial progress achieved in recent months by the Mauritanian authorities in improving macroeconomic policies, budget formulation, and governance and transparency, and in resolving the data issues that had undermined relations with the Fund. They viewed these steps, as well as Mauritania's full and timely repayment of the two noncomplying disbursements under the 1999-2002 PRGF arrangement, as essential building blocks for the close cooperation between Mauritania and the international community that will be needed to exploit fully Mauritania's improved growth and development prospects. In the period ahead, the authorities should focus on consolidating macroeconomic stability and strengthening the external position through prudent budgetary use of new oil revenue, while avoiding recourse to central bank budget financing.
Directors underscored that tight and well coordinated fiscal and monetary policies will need to be at the center of efforts to consolidate the macroeconomic stabilization and achieve the ambitious official reserves and disinflation objectives set for 2006. In this regard, they endorsed the authorities' plan to adhere to the original budgetary spending ceilings despite higher-than-budgeted oil revenue, while using the oil revenue for the reduction of domestic debt. Directors urged the authorities to provide a durable solution for the two parastatals in need of rehabilitation without jeopardizing the 2006 fiscal objectives.
Directors were encouraged by improvements in public expenditure management. They welcomed the timeliness and accuracy of public finance reporting based on the Treasury records and their regular reconciliation with the central bank data. Directors strongly endorsed the preparation of a medium-term expenditure framework ahead of the budget preparation cycle, and underscored the importance of sustaining the momentum of recent reforms by enhancing competition in the public procurement system and by further tightening expenditure controls, including through the planned computerization of the spending authorization circuit.
Directors welcomed the recent tightening of monetary policy, noting that the interest rate increases had strengthened the central bank's credibility in pursuing price stability. They recommended careful monitoring of international and domestic price pressures to control the risks to the authorities' disinflation objectives. Directors also recommended the development of alternative policy instruments to facilitate more active liquidity management.
Directors underscored that a well-prepared move toward a more flexible exchange rate policy would help contain inflationary pressures, particularly in light of the improved external outlook. They supported the authorities' planned steps toward the introduction of foreign exchange auctions, which will eliminate the foreign exchange rationing system and ensure free access to foreign exchange for current international transactions.
Directors noted the implementation of all remedial actions for Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) qualification, and agreed that Mauritania now qualifies for debt relief under the MDRI. They welcomed the authorities' plan to develop a medium-term debt management strategy. Directors urged the authorities to avoid accumulating new non-concessional external debt, and non-Paris Club creditors to conclude the remaining bilateral agreements. They noted that adequate monitoring mechanisms are in place to safeguard the use of MDRI resources, and that the introduction of the new functional classification of expenditure will enhance the targeting and tracking of poverty reducing outlays.
Directors encouraged the authorities to build on the progress achieved in ensuring sound and transparent management of oil revenues, including through the implementation of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and the national hydrocarbon revenue fund. Directors stressed the importance of proper and timely reporting and auditing mechanisms, including through the appointment of independent and reputable auditors, and welcomed the planned publication of oil production, sales, and revenue data.
Directors emphasized that the medium-term framework should focus on preserving macroeconomic stability and on a prudent use of oil revenue, thereby allowing Mauritania to realize its growth and poverty reduction objectives. They endorsed the authorities' efforts to develop a sustainable poverty reduction strategy for 2006-10 centered on the market-based development of labor-intensive industries in which Mauritania enjoys comparative advantage. Directors noted that enhancing productivity in the non-oil sectors and safeguarding their competitiveness will require improvements in the business climate, efficient public investments, prudent wage policies, and an open trade policy. They also called on the authorities to strengthen the financial sector regulatory framework, and commended the authorities for the steps taken toward establishing a comprehensive AML/CFT framework.

Freddy Adu started for the US National Team, his first world cup qualifier start of his career in a game against Barbados. This qualifier is for the upcoming 2010 World Cup.
In the first game against Barbados the US won 8-0 and Freddy Adu came in mid way through the first half to help the US crush Barbados. In this match, Freddy came through in his first start recording the assist for the only goal of the game.
Coming in the 21st minute, Adu helped Eddie Lewis put in the go ahead goal.
The US will play Guatemala on the 20th of August and then play in Cuba on September 6 or 7th.
Freddy Adu, who's had quite a month with the US National team at the age of 19, is now being courted by the Italian team Serie A club Genoa. They want Adu on loan from the team he currently plays for, Benfica.
After just one season with Benfica, which Freddy joined last year after playing for DC United and Real Salt Lake, Adu has seen much improvement in his game but not a lot of improvement in playing time. He's not a starter for Benfica and has only scored 2 goals on 11 appearances. Not bad for the young forward.
Being part of European soccer can only help Adu who has been trying to show the world that he belongs on the biggest stage in soccer.
Freddy Adu subbed in today during the first world cup qualifying match against Barbados in the 26th minute of play for Pablo Mastroeni. His first few touches of the ball brought cheers from the crowd but no magic was seen. Quick passes from the center of the field trying to setup his teammates for quick and easy scores.
By the time Freddy Adu got into the game the US National Team was up by 3 goals. The US team went on to score 5 more unanswered goals against Barbados making the final score 8 – 0. Although the US was expected to win the match fairly easy, no one could have expected this kind of a blowout.
One big highlight of the day was a hat trick by Brian Ching. Ching managed to score 3 goals during the game. Clint Dempsey had a big day as well with 2 goals of his own.
Freddy Adu continues to play strong giving the coaches something to think about as they work to build their starting roster. By the time the World Cup roles around in 2010, Adu could be a staple. He'll have one more season playing for Benfica, and a lot more experience playing for the US National Team. The next two years could be breakout years for the young Adu.
Young soccer star Freddy Adu, who plays for Benfica internationally, started on June 5th for the US National Team against Spain, in which US lost 1-0. Freddy Adu was replaced at half-time but was able to show quite a bit of who he really is and why he was so highly regarded as the next big thing for American soccer.
Freddy Adu looked like he was in charge on the field and played like he was in charge, slicing through Spain's defense better than any other American has in a while. Freddy Adu, who came in as a sub in the England game a few weeks back, is ready to take a lead role.
That role should be top man on the US team. The team needs some spice, someone to take the game to exciting for the American people. I really think Freddy can do that.
It looks like Freddy will continue to start after that performance but we've seen crazier things from the coaching staff. We'll see if their heads on are on straight in the next game Argentina tomorrow, June 8th.
You can catch that game 7:30 eastern, check your local listings for the channel it's on.
Freddy Adu came into the game late for Maxi Pereira and 7 minutes later was celebrating a goal that allowed Benfica to pull out the win.
This is young Freddy Adu's second goal in 8 days as he continues to show improvement on the international stage since being picked up by Benfica this summer.
It appears Freddy Adu will be playing abroad after all. Adu had recently turned 18 and by FIFA rules is now eligible to be traded international and play on the worlds biggest stage.
We recently learned that Freddy Adu has agreed to a deal with Benfica for $2 million. The Portuguese team signed the deal with Freddy's newest team, Real Salt Lake, of the MLS. This finally gives the 18 year old Adu the chance to play where he's always wanted, in front of the world.
Amidst many media folk discussing the dissapointment in his career, Freddy Adu is making strives to improve his game by playing soccer in better competition. This might be his chance to show that he belongs with the best in the world. After becoming such a huge star at the age of 14 when DC United signed him on he has had an up and down career. This could be what he needs to show he is the star he had the potential to be.
Freddy Adu just finished up a two week, maybe less trial with manchester united and impressed a lot of people.
Although his size and lack of physical play are probably what ultimately kept him from playing in the Premiership league, Freddy Adu made a great impression for up and coming soccer stars from the US.
Although there have been more and more players making the jump from the MLS to the European leagues, America needs a big name player, one with a lot of publicity, to spark nation wide interest in the sport and in European soccer.
Soccer fans in America are more of a cult following than a large majority of the people. There's not enough scoring in the game and it's hard to juice a soccer ball. Whay America needs is a star on the world stage to show that soccer can be exciting.
Freddy Adu, playing in any European league, could do that. Although many are worried that him leaving the states to go play across the Atlantic would take away from the MLS and ultimately be it's demise (one player isn't going to make this happen) Freddy's moving to Europe could be just what the MLS needs.
People need to know it's out there, get passionate about the players and then the MLS will build momentum as a real league in America.

We've just gotten wind that Freddy Adu, the teenage soccer phenom will leave his Manchester United Trial a week early.
Freddy Adu was on a two week try-out of sorts with one of the best soccer clubs in the world, Manchester United. He was training with the Manchester United youth academy, aka The Red Devils Youth Academy and impressing a lot of the older players on the team with his skills.
There was recent concern over the physical nature of the English Premier League brought up by both his coach Peter Nowak, and LA Galaxy top man Alexi Lalas. Freddy Adu himself has now come out and talked about the physcial nature of the EPL being to much for his style of play and that he would be better suited to play for Real Madrid.
This leaves the question, with Freddy leaving the Manchester United Trial Early, will he make a stop off in Madrid?
technorati tags:Freddy, Adu, Manchester, United, Real, Madrid, Soccer
Freddy Adu is in the middle of his 2 week trial with Manchester United across the pond in England. He's working on solidifying a move to play in the Premiership and become the soccer player that the world has been making him out to be since he was 12 years old.
But some say that moving to England and playing with Manchester United might be the wrong decision for the 17-year-old Freddy Adu.
Peter Nowak, coach of DC United, where Adu currently plays and is under contract says Freddy "needs matches." He believes Freddy should go to the Dutch League where he can get more matches against better competition.
If Freddy were to make the Manchester United team he would more than likely reside on the development squad for a few years where he may never make it off of. The Manchester team brings in the best players from around the world and to see a young talent get stuck behind players that right now might be better than him would be devastating.
Freddy may never get off the bench and we'll never get to see his talent blossom.
But then again, he's a great talent himself and may be able to step right into the starting line-up for Manchester United and play some of the best ball the world has ever seen. I believe Freddy Adu knows what he is doing and knows what he wants and will get to the top of his game the best way he knows how. Playing aginst and with the best.
technorati tags:Freddy, Adu, Soccer, Manchester, United
Looking for Freddy Adu news around the web? Well we have some top stories for you and where you can find them.
First off, everyone by now knows that Freddy Adu is training with Manchester United for two weeks. With that has brought much debate and talk around the soccer world about Freddy Adu's future.
First up voicing concern about the young 17-year-old Freddy Adu making the jump to Europe soccer is LA Galaxy top man, Alexi Lalas. He has mentioned Concern for Adu based on his size and location of where he might end up in Europe. Lalas doesn't want him to get tossed in with the big boys too early and get "swallowed up."
Also of concern is the MLS and DC United losing their biggest crowd drawing face in Freddy Adu. It's no secret that the young Adu has basically become the face of the MLS and it's fight to keep alive. Losing him to the Euorpeans would require the MLS to continue on with someone bigger. Even with the rumors that Beckham may make a trip to the States to play a season or two with the MLS, the leaders are still worried.
What do you think is best for Freddy Adu? I think, as much as I would miss him in the MLS, Freddy Adu needs to go and gain the exposure and play against the competition that Europe can bring. That's the only way he is going to excel beyond where his soccer skils are today.

warm, crisp and a little melty salad croutons

Warm, Crisp and A Little Melty Goat Cheese Salad Croutons
Adapted from Jewels of New York via Cup of Jo
Guys, when I get a recipe from someone and it works exactly as it is supposed to with no drama or adaptations needed the very first time, I am overjoyed. It is a very good day, and this was one of these. But did I fiddle? Of course I fiddled. I fiddled only enough to adjust the cheeses to amounts that were more easily purchased (i.e. most goat cheese comes in 4 ounce logs, that kind of thing), using a little more soft cheese and a little less of the firm stuff. The result is a softer crouton that melts more easily. We didn't mind.
Usage: I already made my argument for why I think this could perk up even the saddest excuse for a salad you could summon from the depths of your fridge (or, mid-winter produce aisle). Now, since it is indeed spring out there, imagine it on this salad (minus the parmesan) or this one (minus the feta) or atop grilled ramps, or gently wilted spinach, or… you name it.
Makes 4 croutons
4 ounces goat milk Gouda, coarsely grated*
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, softened
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1/4 cup Panko** breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon coarse or sea salt
Olive oil, for frying
Freshly ground black pepper
Mash together cheeses in a bowl, mixing until combined. Form the mixture into four balls then smoosh each slightly into thick patties. Arrange three small dishes for dredging stations: Place the flour in the first one, beat the egg lightly in the second, and mix the breadcrumbs and salt in the last one. Heat a healthy slick of olive oil (the original recipe suggested 3 tablespoons; in a tiny skillet, I used closer to 2) in a small skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry each patty until golden and crispy, about two minutes per side. It's going to get melty (I'm not sorry) and seem pesky to flip once warm. I found using two forks made this easy-peasy. Briefly pause the crouton on paper towels to drain excess oil, before landing it on top of your salad of choice, then finish the whole thing with freshly ground black pepper. Repeat with remaining croutons. Eat at once.
* Gouda, a Dutch cheese, is traditionally made with cow's milk. You can buy it young (smooth, semi-firm and mild flavored), or aged (harder, darker, stronger-flavored with crunchy flecks), smoked, light, and even more ways. However, if you can find the goat milk gouda suggested here, perfect for goat cheese-phobes, it's really amazing in these croutons, absolutely worth swinging by a cheese shop or grocery store with a great cheese counter for. (It's also sold online from a variety of stores.) If you cannot get it, you could replace the gouda with another semi-firm cheese good for grating and melting, like a young cow's milk gouda, gruyere, etc.
** If you can't find or don't want to buy Panko, here's how I fake it: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tear one to two slices of soft, crustless white bread into 1-inch pieces and pulse them in the food processor until coarsely ground. This will make a generous half cup. Transfer crumbs to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until just barely golden brown and dry, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. Use.

Now, obesity HURTS your heart too. Another study, this time in Journal of the American College of Cardiology, ties obesity to early risk of heart attack. One researcher told Reuters, "Obesity has overtaken smoking as the leading cause of premature heart attacks."
That's NO joke! Neither is having a miscarriage. And new a study in Fertility and Sterility claims obese women are 67% more likely to have a miscarriage than normal weight women; via Reuters.
Wow! That's three HUGE reasons to maintain healthy bodyweight.
