IMF Executive Board Concludes 2012 Article IV Consultation with SwitzerlandPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 12/45
May 8, 2012
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. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the 2012 Article IV Consultation with Switzerland is also available
On May 2, 2012, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Switzerland.1
Faced with headwinds from the euro area debt crisis and a strong currency, the economy slowed down in late 2011, and inflation turned negative as exchange rate appreciation was passed through to import prices. While export growth has weakened, the external sector continues to perform relatively well, thanks to specific sectoral strengths and high investment income flows. The outlook for 2012 is of a gradual recovery, as foreign demand picks up, the economy adapts to the higher level of the exchange rate, and monetary policy remains accommodative. However, downside risks, especially from external developments, are significant.
Monetary policy had to contend with severe exchange rate appreciation pressures in the summer, when safe haven flows from the euro area crisis intensified and the Swiss franc reached close to parity vis-à-vis the euro (a real effective appreciation of over 30 percent since end-2007). After bringing the policy rate to zero and effecting a massive liquidity expansion, in early September the Swiss National Bank committed to defend an exchange rate floor of 1.20 Swiss francs per euro, moving away from the floating regime. The exchange rate has since traded closely to the floor, and the negative inflation differential with trading partners is helping undo the real appreciation.
With loose monetary conditions, domestic mortgage credit and real estate prices continue to rise briskly, and concern is growing that a bubble may be forming, endangering exposed domestically-oriented banks and insurance companies. To address this risk, a government working group has recommended strengthening the macroprudential toolkit by introducing the Basel III counter-cyclical capital buffer (CCB), improving the classification of risk weights in mortgage lending, and broadening the SNB's power to request information from banks.
The financial sector is adapting to the new, more stringent regulatory environment, including the recently approved "too big to fail" legislation requiring systemically important banks to hold more capital than Basel III. After a marked improvement in 2010, the performance of the two large banks worsened in 2011, with income generation lagging other global peers. Although they comfortably fulfill current regulatory capital requirements, these banks still have a relatively thin layer of high quality capital and, given their business model, rely heavily on wholesale funding.
The fiscal position is healthy and government debt low, with a broadly neutral stance projected for 2012. Fiscal rules at both the federal and cantonal level and well-designed inter-governmental fiscal arrangements provide a foundation for fiscal discipline. In the medium-term, however, pressures from population aging are building.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors noted that, notwithstanding Switzerland's strong economic fundamentals and policy frameworks, downside risks stemming mostly from the euro area crisis and vulnerabilities in the domestic financial sector clouded the near-term outlook. Against this background, Directors stressed the importance of pragmatic and flexible policy responses in the period ahead.
Directors considered the authorities' decision to continue to defend an exchange rate floor appropriate in light of the slow pace of activity and remaining deflation risks. They encouraged, however, the Swiss National Bank to return to a freely floating exchange rate regime once the growth and inflation outlook normalizes. In this context, Directors noted the dual risks of removing the exchange rate floor too soon or maintaining it for too long in the face of persistent capital inflows, and encouraged the authorities to exit from the current arrangement with great care.
Directors considered the authorities' fiscal plans appropriately calibrated to build buffers against contingent liabilities in the financial sector and the prospective budgetary impact of population aging. Nonetheless, should downside risks materialize, a number of Directors saw room for additional fiscal measures to support aggregate demand in line with existing fiscal rules. To better cope with the fiscal implications of population aging over the longer term, Directors advocated further reforms to the pension system, including measures to index benefits or the retirement age to life expectancy.
Directors commended the authorities for the passage of the "too-big-to-fail" legislation but emphasized the need for further progress in bolstering the loss-absorbing capital of systemically important banks. They noted that although these banks fulfill current capital requirements, there is scope to raise their high-quality capital. Directors recognized, however, that more capital alone cannot fully eliminate "too-big-to-fail" risks and supported continued efforts toward improving bank resolution mechanisms and strengthening financial oversight, including by broadening in-house supervisory capacity.
Directors supported the steps taken to contain risks in the mortgage market and the real estate sector. Given constraints on monetary policy, they viewed macroprudential measures as the appropriate instruments to address such risks, and encouraged the authorities to consider a broad toolkit, including Basel III countercyclical capital buffers, increased risk-weights for riskier mortgage loans, and other macroprudential and fiscal measures.

Not sure what all the complaints are about the use of a Russian girl or shoot is once in awhile. Especially if there is a very hot, sexy babe like this one was! Its not like its done all the time! it was nice seeing this hot, innocent-looking Russian girl... To me if the fantasy scene is done right, the action is good and hard, the girl is cute and sweet like this one was and knows enough to act like shes struggling and fighting... Why not? I'm not saying I want Russian ones every week, but I don't have any problem with it at all! Good job Kink! Keep up the good work! It was fine!

I liked it a lot! And that girl is a doll! A cross between Juliette Lewis and Renee Zellwegger! I dont have a problem with using Russian films or actors, they go further than Americans a lot of the time and the scenes are sometimes pretty realistic! I would have only liked a better fantasy set up... Pretty basic this week... How about a WWII fantasy with invading Russian soldiers abusing a pretty "German" girl upon victoriously entering Berlin? The Russian soldiers were notorious for their love of gangbanging the hapless girls in berlin when they captured the city after the second world war! Would make a great fantasy play! Doesn't even require much in the way of costuming since the Russian soldiers were a pretty ragtag group of individuals and often had only tattered uniforms etc.. A few heavy wool overcoats and pants and black boots along with some rifles and a few helmets... If you had some vintage clothing for the chick it would be great! Vintage lingerie!

This was absolutely Fantastic! One of the best shoots this site has done! Liais completely hot and oh-so sexy! A great little actress too! I loved her and want to see a whole lot more of her in the future! The chemistry between James and her was what helped to make this one so special, and the fantasy set-up was brilliant and mostly believable! I liked how she struggled, but at the same time was getting turned on to the situation. I'm not sure what some of the criticism was towards Dean and the spitting, snorting... I thought the snorting and calling her piggy was brilliant! Not sure who had the idea for that, but it added a lot to the degradation and seemed to be a turn on for Lia as well! She kept it going and I was glad James kept up the dialogue of telling her to keep snorting if she wanted to cum. Every time she snorted it was her admitting she was turned on and needed to cum, even though she was wanting to get away! This one could actually inspire a bonafide sequel where James is now blackmailing her. The two of them having talked about it later and agreeing to keep it quiet from her boyfriend since she had gotten turned on, she would obviously not be anxious to tell her boyfriend. Or would she be able to properly explain how she had even gotten herself into the mess to begin with. James could be telling her he wanted a repeat performance in order to keep quiet about that night. Lia is sooo sweet and sexy! She needs more camera time here! You're a star baby! Anyway, GREAT SHOOT! One of the absolute best ever done on Kink, or anywhere! Loved it!

@ legerdemaine... I love shakespear, but he himself was long-winded! And the romance language he wrote has never been equaled! It was beautiful to read! A delight to read! And Polonious was long-winded, and I am long-winded, and Shakespear was long-winded! And I am truly no Shakespear! Just opinionated... And Eva is cute... Despite her hair, which I don't like, but I do like her, and thats all I was really saying... Peace out!

@ docottawa maybe you ought to really read a person's comments before responding to them. I did in fact comment on more than her hair. I said; "She's very cute" I said I don't care for her hair, and I don't. I was complimentary to what I liked, about her and the scene. Sorry if I am not like some of the mindless cattle who will give high praise to a scene wether you see Pandas, dolphins or hot females on here. This section is for the paying members to comment on what they like and don't like. We've been told our comments have a certain amount of sway to what we see in the future. When I see something I like I praise it. When I see something I don't I say that also. I never did comment on her tats, but now that you mention it, no I'm not overly fond of tats. As for her spirit, I don't come here to see high spirited defiant chicks. That's not what this site is really about. You might want to watch Ultimate Surrender or one of the female dom ones for that. This site is about the take down, binding and mostly subjugation of females. You better look more closely at the content that's mostly being shown on here, and what most other readers are crying out for. I gave the shoot this week a solid B, I think that's more than fair. I said Eva was very cute. That's as fair as I want to go. And I'd be willing to bet a lot more people would come out and agree with me if all we saw every week was tattooed punked-out honeys. I prefer a more innocent look being tied bound and taken down. I realize that isn't as easy to find for a site like this. BUT... A girl all punked out looks like she's jaded and been around the block is to me, much less desirable for a rough shoot in my personal opinion. And yes, it's my personal opinion. But I do notice, most weeks when I comment, or suggest or critique, I usually get a lot of people saying they agree with some of what I am commenting on. Naturally there are those that don't, and then there are always the ones who are the kiss-ups who have to just comment about how much they love everything week in and week out and act like we are going to hurt someone's feelings if we say we dislike an aspect, or even an entire shoot. Sorry, I won't praise what I don't like. As an analogy, there was an episode of the television show Taxi, way back when, where Tony Danza and I believe Jeff Connaway were talking about how the apples in the vending machine were always stale. One of them suggested they could all start eating the stale apples every day, and that they would eat their way through the stale ones and then there would be fresh apples. At that point one of them said, "No that won't work! If we start eating stale apples every day, the guy who fills the vending machine will think we like stale apples and he'll put stale apples in the machine on purpose!" There's a big moment of silence and somebody says; "Well then how can we get fresh apples?" and the response is; "I guess we can't!" Well I disagree. I think we can have fresh apples! Simply by telling the people who run the site what we like and just as importantly what we don't! If you disagree with me, fine! You're free to praise everything you see on here. But as long as I am a member, I will add my opinions either positive or negative, and vote with my membership dollars, just like you are free to do! When or if the day comes I can't do that, or the site does not meet my needs/desires, I'm free to leave. So are you. I think anyone who looks at my comments would see I praise one week, and bitch like a teenage girl another week when I don't like a shoot! I think I give back fair praise and criticism alike. Which to me, is what would be desirable for a comments section. And for a site that says they value feedback, to me, that is much more useful than either a person praising every shoot, or bitching at every shoot. 'Nuff said!

She's very cute, but I coulda done without that damned shaved-down red and blue air for my taste.. Sort of a turn-off to me to see punk hair like that. Still, Eva is hot, and there was some good rough sex and a fantasy setup that I thought was pretty well done! Really glad to see James Dean back running the show. Things seem to go more smoothly and have a rougher pace when he's about giving the girl a going over... Overall a solid B this week! Good job! Like to see her back minus that hair! Better shaved off completely than that...

I would have to be just picking holes to complain about this week's shoot! Great job! The girl Daikiri is sweet and cute as a button! Loved her freckles! This was along the lines of the type of fantasy several of us members have been asking for! It was quite well done! Sex was super-hot! I was very happy to see the clothes stay on her as long as they did! That is a pet peeve of mine, stripping the girl completely naked too soon. To me, costuming adds a lot to the shoot, and to lose the clothes too quickly, or all the clothes, makes for a less sexy shoot, and dispels the fantasy element sometimes. For instance, I sometimes wish stockings and garters would either stay on, or stay on for most of the shoot. Not in every shoot maybe, but in some. Even having a bra stay partway on can be hot, with the girl's tits popped out and on display. One thing I wish you would work on is getting more "real" looking girl next-door thicker bodied girls more often. Never been a big fan of girls being too skinny. I've made the comment before that thicker bodied girls (like Charlotte Vale! LOL!) to me look even sexier in bondage and taking a spanking/whipping /fucking! They jiggle and shake so much sexier than their skinnier sisters. Again, this is just something I wish you would keep in mind for some shoots. Also, I'm still hoping we see some kind of Arab shiek capturing an innocent blonde/redhead American or English girl and turning her into a trained sumissive harem concubine at some point! And, with Halloween coming just around the corner, I'm once again putting out a request for my idea from last year, an innocent nun, or a young girl being abducted by a group of Satanists and subjected to bizarre humiliation and terrorized, whipped, made to participae in in a ritual, forced to crawl and behave like an animal, piss in a bucket, spanked, whipped some more and of course soundly fucked in all her innocent holes. Finally, make it look as if her bottom and/or tits are branded with Satanic markings like pentagrams, (which could be easily done with make-up) I think a shoot of this nature would be a terrific Halloween present to your members... Anyway, this week's shoot was a very solid piece of work! Gotta say, you guys did a fantastic job! Everyone was terrific! No complaints worth mentioning! I'm not bitching about the male cast, cause I think they were just fine this week... But.... You guys need to think about bringing James Dean back also, he's great at playing the sadist, he seems to take the lead more and direct the flow of what is happenning to the hapless/helpless lady, he thinks of humiliating things to say and make the victim do/perform and lastly, I think the ladies like him too so it helps! But the whole cast lived up to their jobs this week despite his absence. Great job! Thank YOU! Keep up the good work PLEASE!

Summer is vacation time. While it is fun and relaxing to enjoy new sites and activities, care of living plants that keep home green and beautiful year round can be worrisome. You water all those beauties before you leave but wonder if they will be severely wilted or worse when you return.
Aqua globes, those round glass balls with a pointed neck, came on the market a few years back. They were advertised as the ultimate plant watering solution for the lazy or forgetful gardener. They are pretty and sparkly but can be pricey, even in those "as seen on tv" stores.
There is a much easier and cheaper way to achieve the same plant watering results while on vacation. All you need are glass or plastic bottles from soda, salad dressing, or similar products. Follow these simple steps:
1. Select bottles with necks long enough so they can be pushed 1-2 inches into the soil in your flower pots. The opening should be about soda bottle top width. If your bottles have a wider opening, save the lid and punch 2-3 small holes in the lid.
2. Match the bottles to the appropriate plants. Larger plants will need larger (1-2 liter) bottles. Smaller plants will need 8-16 oz. bottles.
3. Thoroughly wash and rinse all containers.
4. Water your plants thoroughly and appropriately for each plant's needs.
5. Fill bottles with water.
6. Depending on water needs of each plant, punch holes in caps or discard caps.
7. Quickly upend full bottles over pots and insert them up to 2 inches into the soil in the pots. You can use your finger as a neck cover as you tip the bottle over to prevent spills.
8. Balance bottles bottom up. In most cases you may want to support them so they won't tip as they may to top heavy when inverted. Use plant stakes, old flatware, straws, anything that will support the bottle.
9. The water will gradually drain from the inverted bottle into the pot as the soil dries.
10. When you arrive home your plants should be alive and well. They may need a little TLC, depending on how long you have been away, but this method greatly increases their survival chances.
Some other plant care tips involve a little more action.
Consider grouping your plants together whenever you are away. This slows evaporation and helps them retain moisture. Place like need plants in the same groupings, preferably in a less sun exposed location. To keep moisture levels up, consider placing plant groupings in a large tray, boot mat or even a small cement mixing tray, available in big box hardware stores. Fill the container with an inch or two of water and the plants will absorb it from the roots. Be sure to take them out of their individual drip saucers first.
With adequate preparation most plants that are not overly fussy will be fine for up to two weeks.

San Jose, California, USA – "For the last couple years, we've been fielding flak from users about BookMacster being too complicated for what they need," says Sheep Systems' Chief Engineer Jerry Krinock. "Indeed, BookMacster is three-plus apps in one."
Now, users can have only the app they want, with one of three new "focused" apps
Smarky: Organize, and, in particular, alphabetize Safari bookmarks.
Synkmark: Organize and keep Safari, Google Chrome and Firefox bookmarks in sync.
Markster: Directly access bookmarks in a Central Store, from within any app.
BookMacster is there for those who want all of the above, and more. And because the apps are sold directly and not via the Mac App Store, users can easily upgrade to BookMacster, or downgrade for free, if their needs change. All four apps have more or less of the same user interface, and are built on the same framework, so they get the same update support. Beta versions are available now for users running Yosemite.
Users have many options to manage bookmarks nowadays. The specialty of the BookMacster "family" is in bridging among the internal bookmarks of the various browsers, in such a way that is compatible with iCloud, signing in to Google, and Firefox Sync. "We've provided support to many people who have had their bookmarks corrupted by other apps which have not kept on the ball", say Krinock.

Brief History
The Cadillac 346 Flathead V8 was the durable monobloc V-8 that would go on to help win the war. The 346 Cadillac flathead was the power plant of choice for the U.S. Army's M-5 and M-24 tanks. The engine was backed by a Hydra-Matic, which was an exclusive Cadillac option new for 1941, which also saw action during World War II. Cadillac engineer Harry Barr would later recall that the transmission was very serviceable right from the start, and the improvements resulting from four years of military service would make the postwar versions even better.
In the mid to late 1930′s Cadillac also built a 322 flathead V8 which is very similar to the Cadillac 346. The difference between them was the 346 bore size is 1/8 inch larger. Both engines were designed by John F Gordon, he would later go on and become the COO of General Motors from 1958 to 1965. At the time, the Cadillac flathead possessed some of the finer mechanical accomplishments for an engine. It used pressed-in piston rings (which became an industry standard). The engine also allowed for hydraulic valve adjustment which was state of the art at the time.
Dry Lakes and Hot Rods
There isn't much information about the Cadillac 346 during the pre-war days. I'm guessing the engine was rather new and did not show up in the local wrecking yards for some speed thirsty guy to find and the odds of a fancy new Cadillac being sold off for parts to private parties was probably rare. That being said I have seen several old photographs with dry lake style cars running the Cadillac 346. Keith Landrigan had a 1932 Ford Roadster that ran a 346. I believe the car is on the cover of the 2nd or 3rd Hot Rod Magazine. His roadster ran a recorded run of 115.83.

small inground pools
Of the many different pools that you can find the most common ones are the inground pools. These types of pools will vary in size, style and even shape. You can find these pools both for the indoors and outdoors. There are some slight differences which need to be made in the building of these pools.
The main differences that you will find for outdoor and indoor inground pools are the amount of space which is available. As most indoor pools are added to a house long after the house has been built, the space which is available is not very large. Outdoor pools on the other hand have the ability of being constrained only by your yard space.
The materials can be used in the building of inground pools will vary depending on your monetary funds availability. For the most part swimming pools are designed with a concrete layering to them.
This concrete layering provides a smooth yet solid feel to the inground pools. There is however a note of caution which should be considered. As time passes you will find that some pools will develop cracks and faults. This type of damage requires the closing of the pool for re-construction work to commence.
The other material which you will find in some inground pools is that of fiberglass. These pools are made from a mold into which a fiberglass resin is poured to create the shape of the pool shell. As this shell is made before any digging is done the work for the pool will progress faster.
With both of these inground pools there are advantages and disadvantages to be found. Once these problems have been ironed put and your pool installed you are ready to enjoy the pleasures to be found.
Now while you are deciding on the location of your swimming pool you will notice that you have various accessories which can be used. These accessories are ones like swimming pool toys, pool slides, pool heaters – perfect for those cold days – and even swimming pool liners.
Of course all of these items are available to make the joys of swimming better. When you look at the ways in which people use inground pools you will begin to understand why these are more preferred than the above ground pools.
When all is said and done swimming pools whether they are above ground or inground pools, whether they are indoors or outdoors, they all perform the same function. This is to provide hours of cooling down time and having lots of fun in the sun.

Is your office atmosphere cool?
How do you feel about your office atmosphere? Perhaps you've upgraded office digs since your last place of employment, or maybe you miss that old window you used to have. Are you and your co-workers pumped about the new Keurig that W.B. Mason delivered last week (we would be!) Whatever the elements, be it natural lighting paired with dark cherry furniture and soothing creamy walls, pop color and stainless steel accents in a newly renovated warehouse, or a cozy executive suite with plush furniture, comforting artwork and the smell of fresh brewed coffee lingering in the air, the atmosphere you work in on a daily basis can have an impact on your overall performance.
Check out these cool offices, aptly named the "World's Coolest Offices" of 2012 by inc.com, and see how your space measures up:
At nearly 15,000 square feet, Microsoft's home in Vienna is as refreshing as the first drink out of a bottle of Sierra Mist. Cost: 3.6 million.
Skype's office in Sweden is 18,000 square feet of fun and creativity – who wouldn't want to work here?
Google's NYC digs carries a happening vibe inside as well as out, spread over 80,000 square feet (yes, we had to look twice, too!)

Beans, beans, good for your heart…and your blood sugar. A new study has found that a cup of beans or lentils each day could help those with Type 2 diabetes better control their blood sugar, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems such as heart attack and stroke.
High-fiber foods are recommended for diabetic patients because a portion is digested differently from other carbohydrates and are less likely to cause a spike in blood sugar. Also, fibrous foods help people stay full longer, thus promoting appropriate calorie intake and potentially weight loss. In addition, fiber promotes good bowel health and may lower the risk of cancer.
But is there a difference in the types of fiber a person can eat with regards to blood sugar control?
A research team led by Dr. David Jenkins of St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada divided 121 people with diabetes into two groups. One group was instructed to increase their intake of cooked legumes by at least a cup a day, which contain both fiber and protein and have a low glycemic index (GI). The other group was told to consume more whole wheat products to increase their intake of dietary fiber without regard to the GI value of the foods.
After three months, the participants who consumed more beans and lentils had lower hemoglobin A1c levels. HbA1C is a measure of long-term glucose (blood sugar) control. The study volunteers also had a lowered 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease, due to a decrease in blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
"Legumes are good protein sources, and proteins tend to dampen the blood glucose response and they lower blood pressure," said Jenkins. "They are also good sources of fiber and that tends to be associated with lower cholesterol. "We hope that this could be the point that allows you to delay medication use."
In addition to protein and fiber, beans contain phytochemical compounds (antioxidants) that can help the body fight free radical damage that is linked to many health conditions such as aging, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's.
The vegetable class "legumes" contains beans, peas and lentils. Black beans, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, lima beans and kidney beans are examples. Legumes are available canned – which do not require soaking and have a shorter cooking period – or dried. One pound of dried beans yields about 5 or 6 cups of cooked beans while a 15-ounce can of beans equals about 1 ½ cups (drained).
Beans are excellent meat replacements in soups, stews, and chili. They can also be added to salads or rice to bump up the protein and fiber content of the side dish. Here are a few ideas on how to incorporate more legumes into your favorite meals:
• Add cooked black beans or kidney beans to an omelette.
• Toss cooked lentils into a leafy green salad.
• Add chickpeas to Greek salad for a boost of protein and fibre.
• Toss cooked lentils, chopped bell pepper and chopped red onion with a vinaigrette to make a tasty cold salad. Add fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro.
• Enjoy minestrone, split pea, black bean or lentil soup instead of the usual chicken noodle.
• Spread sandwiches with hummus (chickpea purée) instead of mayonnaise.
• •Add chickpeas to whole-grain dishes such as quinoa, barley and brown rice pilafs.
• Use a variety of legumes when making chili. Try chickpeas, black beans and soy beans in addition to kidney beans.
• Add cooked black beans to tacos and burritos. Use half the amount of lean ground meat you normally would and make up the difference with beans.
• Add cooked lentils to quesadillas along with other fillings you enjoy.
• Add cooked white kidney beans to a tomato-based pasta sauce for a Mediterranean inspired meal.
• Toss cooked lentils into sautéed leafy greens such as spinach or Swiss chard for a healthy side dish.

Things may not be looking good for artists and record labels in their lawsuit against Sirius/XM over royalty free streaming of music made before 1972, Billboard.biz reported Friday. The labels in the suit include the Beatles' Capitol Records and Universal Music Group.
According to Billboard, Superior Court Judge Mary Strobel said she may reject a motion by the labels with their interpretation of the law in instructions to be given to the jury that would have allowed the older recordings legal protection. The lawsuit is one of several in the dispute, including a $100 million class action suit by Howard Kaylen and Mark Volman of the Turtles, and another by SoundExchange.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America, sound recordings were not protected by federal copyright law until 1972, though recordings made before 1972 are protected by state laws. Sirius/XM is currently not paying for using the songs, the RIAA says. In a statement this month, Eric Burdon said, "SiriusXM's treatment of elder artists such as myself is totally unfair. They're using our music to attract subscribers. Great bluesmen and the early rockers, like me, already suffered at the hands of unscrupulous sharks and we hoped this practice had stopped long ago. SiriusXM's record profits shouldn't come at the expense of artists like me, nor should they come at the expense of any artist."
Across the streamiverse: Among the movies you'll be able to be stream on Netflix starting in September is "Across the Universe," Cleveland.com reported Wednesday. The 2007 Beatles tribute starred Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess. The film, which features an all-Beatles cover soundtrack, went over big with younger audiences.
Selfies for peace: Ringo Starr and John Varvatos will celebrate International Day of Peace on Sept. 21 in Los Angeles where Ringo and his All Starr Band will perform, his press office announced this week. The John Varvatos Peace & Love Event encourages people to participate by taking a peace selfie and using the hashtag #peacerocks to post on Twitter, Instagram and Vine.
For every upload, $1 will be donated to the The Ringo Starr Peace & Love Fund, part of the David Lynch Foundation. Willie Nelson and his great grandson Dean have already participated, as seen in the picture on this page.
Julian contest: Julian Lennon announced Friday he's giving away a copy of his forthcoming "Everything Changes" box set that includes three CDs, vinyl, a DVD and a signed certificate of authenticity. Entries can be made on Julian's website.
Big Fest in Chicago: The Fest for Beatles Fans announced this week that the recent Chicago Fest at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare was attended by over 4,000 Beatles fans from 30 states and two continents. Next up, the first Los Angeles Fest in 14 years Oct. 10 to 12 at the LAX Airport Marriott, a return to the scene of past L.A. Fests. Guests will include Billy J. Kramer, Peter Asher, Joey Molland, former Wings Denny Seiwell, Denny Laine and Laurence Juber, and Beatles '64 promoter Bob Eubanks. Tickets are on the Fest website.
Now on Kindle: Jude Sutherland Kessler's latest book in her John Lennon "enhanced" biography series, "She Loves You," is now on Kindle. This third volume covers events in Lennon's life from April 30, 1963 when he was in Spain with Brian Epstein to February, 1964 and the Beatles' arrival in America. As with the other books in the series, Kessler puts a lot of detail in the books with her extensive research and she strives for accuracy.
Honored: Chuck Berry, a big musical influence on the Beatles, was awarded the Polar Music Prize in Sweden Aug. 26, reported Billboard.biz. Berry did not attend the ceremony because of health issues. Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones paid tribute to him in a recorded message, saying, "Such a great voice, such a great player and also such a great showman. It was all in one package."
White Album project: Rutherford Chang, who buys original copies of the Beatles' White Album to display them as part of a project called "We Buy White Albums," is currently displaying his albums in Liverpool at FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) through Sept. 14. "Come visit me and bring your White Albums," he told Beatles Examiner.
Chang, who we interviewed last year, told us he started the project because "I'm interested in the way that each copy has aged uniquely and become an artifact of the last half-decade. I bought my second copy of 'The White Album' seven years ago and have continued since then."

Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi: लता मंगेशकर; born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known playback singers in the Hindi film industry. Mangeshkar's career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She sang in over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over twenty regional Indian languages, but primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer Asha Bhosle and lesser-known singers, brother Hridayanath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. Lata is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.
Mangeshkar was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world.
Awards and recognitions;
Lata Mangeshkar has won several awards and honors, including Padma Bhushan (1969), Padma Vibhushan (1999), Dada Saheb Phalke Award (1989), NTR National Award (1999), Bharat Ratna (2001), three National Film Awards, and 12 Bengal Film Journalists' Association Awards. She has also won four Filmfare Best Female Playback Awards. In 1969, she made the unusual gesture of giving up the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award, in order to promote fresh talent. She was later awarded Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993.
In 1984, the State Government of Madhya Pradesh instituted the Lata Mangeshkar Award in honor of Lata Mangeshkar. The State Government of Maharashtra also instituted a Lata Mangeshkar Award in 1992.
Government of India Awards * 1969 - Padma Bhushan * 1989 - Dada Saheb Phalke Award * 1999 - Padma Vibhushan * 2001 - Bharat Ratna [1] * 2008 - "One Time Award for Lifetime Achievement" honour to commemorate the 60th anniversary of India's independence.

Filmfare Awards
The Filmfare Awards for playback singing first started in 1958. In 1956, the song 'Rasik Balma' from the film Chori Chori won the Best Song Filmfare Award. Lata refused to sing it live in protest of absence of a Playback Singer category. The category was finally introduced in 1958. Though, separate awards for male & female singers were introduced later on.
Lata Mangeshkar monopolized the best female playback singer award from 1958 to 1966. In 1969, Lata made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare awards in order to promote fresh talent...........

In 2011, and independent action film from Indonesia arrived with little to no fanfare and soon became an international sensation. From writer-director Gareth Evans, and featuring a cast of unknown performers, "The Raid" set new standards for cop dramas. From the dark and dangerous criminal underworld in which the film takes place to the brutal and jaw-dropping highly choreographed fight scenes the film was hard to ignore. (more…)

The Elder Scrolls Online: My Thoughts On The Game To DateSaturday, April 26th, 2014
This June will mark my fourth E3 since we moved terrors on its own but our second office. During my second E3 after the move, Bethesda had a closed-door presentation of their next entry into the phenomenally popular Elder Scrolls series.
Considering that the previous year they had shown off Skyrim prior to its launch, the idea of a massive online version of the fantasy series certainly raised a lot of expectations as well as questions. The game is now released and after spending several hours in the beta as well as several hours with the launch version of the game I'm giving my overview of the game in its current state.
I believe that it is very difficult to review a game of this type because it is a constant changing game set in a constant changing world that doesn't really have a clear beginning middle or end. (more…)
We Talk Duelyst With Keith LeeSaturday, April 19th, 2014

What is the storyline for the game and how did you come up with the idea for it?
The Great Tree of Time blooms only during a Grand Conjunction, a short period when all the rotating continents properly align and marks the only time that the Monolith can be reached by foot. The Monolith itself was built during a much earlier epoch (much of its purpose and history lost through the ages). (more…)

Call of Duty: OnslaughtSaturday, April 5th, 2014
Call of Duty: Ghosts gets a much needed update with the release of Onslaught, the first of four planned DLC packs for the game. The new content requires the full version of Ghosts to play and offers up a plethora of content including four new maps, a dual mode weapon, and a new episode of the alien invasion game, Extinction. For me Ghosts was filled with frustration on the multi play side as I found many maps were too large and encouraged camping, which as anyone who has been spawn killed numerous times in a row will tell you, leads quickly to frustration.

5 Mistakes That Game Publisher Make Over and OverSaturday, March 22nd, 2014
Being a multi-billion dollar a year industry would to many be a sign that things are being done well. However for every game that does well and breaks the bank, there are scores that fail to find an audience, largely go unnoticed, or worse, cause a developer to fail. I worked at both Monolith and Sierra as I was starting out as a film and game journalist so I have seen how this system works up close and personally for several years in addition to over 20 years as a game journalist. With that in mind, let us look at the five biggest mistakes that game companies make that often lead to disaster. (more…)

Remember the Early Days of Gaming!Saturday, March 1st, 2014
As a long time gamer that went from the early home consoles to the PC for my gaming needs, I can appreciate just how much things have changed since the days of the Atari 2600 and first Nintendo system.
While I still prefer the PC for the majority of my gaming, I do own and play on the consoles mainly for exclusives and a change of pace. With that being said, I have not been a fan of the trend of micro-transactions and pay to play model that has become commonplace in many games. I appreciate the growing costs of game development, but if you are asking for $59.99 for a game, to me it is wrong to charge people for in game items and for the "privilege" of being able to play online and against other players.

The Kolkata Knight Riders have been eliminated from the Champions League Twenty20 after their Group A clash against the Perth Scorchers was abandoned without result due to bad weather in Durban.
- Related Content
Kolkata, the IPL champions, needed a victory to stay alive but the weather denied them even a fighting chance as the match was called off after 14 overs.
Perth reached 91 for two before the rains - briefly terrential and with plenty of lightning around too - came and ultimately claimed the fixture.
Kolkata enjoyed an early breakthrough, Brett Lee removing Herschelle Gibbs for a duck, but Shaun Marsh hit 38 from 40 balls and Simon Katich was unbeaten on 43 off 32 as Perth suggested they could have compiled a decent score.

Brazil: great opportunities
The combination of institutional and macroeconomic stability, sustained growth, and strong social inclusion and income distribution policies points to a new Brazil in the international scenario. With a population of 190.6 million, Brazil is the worlds tenth biggest economy. The Brazilian economy has sound foundations: inflation at 5% per annum, sustainable economic growth around 4% p.a., and fiscal stability with a primary public surplus equivalent to 4.1% of the GDP in 2008. Featuring continental dimensions (the fifth largest country in the world, with 8.5 million square kilometers), Brazil has developed a number high technology clusters.
Major international rating agencies have granted Brazil the investment grade. The Brazilian institutional environment provides investors with a safe option for investment, not to mention the modern, efficient financial system. The Brazilian industrial sector is quite diversified, comprising from capital goods industries to consumer goods manufacturers.
One of the main factors behind Brazils success has been the combination of sustainable economic growth and social inclusion. In recent years, millions of people entered the local consumer market and strengthened their citizenship. In addition to its growing domestic market, the country is a robust export platform as well.

We recommend leaving the brews at home when you hit the road on your bike - in fact, pedaling while intoxicated is illegal in many states and cities. But there are plenty of other law-abiding beverages you can enjoy while out for a spin, and this Coconut Bicycle Cup Holder ($27) makes for a summery place to stash them. Use it to hold that ginger ale or sarsaparilla when you ride. Not thirsty? This kitschy accessory also looks like a fine place to toss your phone or keys.

Just in case any free agent coaches needed a reminder of how dynamic the New Orleans Saints can still be, they went out Monday night and played their best game of the season. Their 28-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles was far from flawless, but it was loaded with inspiring moments and it kept a flicker of faith alive for this 2012 season.
For one night at least, the Saints (3-5) looked like Coach Sean Payton had never left. They had that familiar swagger back during a classic prime-time performance in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Quarterback Drew Brees looked as sharp as ever. And the Saints even ran the ball well all night, with a balanced and creative offense that exploited the weaknesses in the Eagles defense.
The Saints defense still had some frighteningly-bad breakdowns, but they also had a more aggressive approach than we've seen this season. They blitzed way more than usual - even before they took a big lead - attacking Eagles quarterback Michael Vick instead of sitting back and reacting to him.
Of course, it was just one game. And the Saints have been so inconsistent this season that it will take more than one victory to prove they've fixed any of their most glaring problems.
But it was a promising sign that the Saints didn't throw in the towel after their blowout loss to the Denver Broncos last week.
And it was a reminder that when the Saints play their best football, they're capable of beating anyone in the NFL. That's why they nearly pulled off a road victory at Green Bay in Week 4. And that's why they absolutely have a legitimate shot to beat the unbeaten Atlanta Falcons (8-0) next Sunday afternoon back in the Superdome.
"We kind of went out there with a chip on our shoulder, knowing everyone was doubting us," said defensive end Will Smith, who had two of the team's seven sacks. "But we know we're still climbin' that mountain."
It will be especially interesting to see if the Saints can repeat their startling performances on defense and in the run game - two areas that suddenly switched from debilitating weaknesses to dynamic strengths on Monday night.
Tailbacks Chris Ivory, Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas all took turns making sensational runs - a 23-yarder by Ingram, a 22-yard touchdown by Ivory, a 19-yard run by Thomas, among other highlights. And they all deserve credit individually for making guys miss or breaking tackles. But the design of the Saints' runs was also the best they've been since Week 2 at Carolina, with gaping holes opening in the Eagles defense as the Saints ran for a total of 140 yards. And the blocking was as good as it's been all season - from the receivers as well as the linemen.
The defense, meanwhile, was almost unrecognizable. The Saints blitzed so often that it looked like former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams never left.
They had seven sacks - and three of them came during the Eagles' opening drive, including one forced fumble that Philadelphia recovered.
Cornerback Patrick Robinson returned an interception 99 yards for a touchdown, and the Saints forced another fumble in the red zone in the fourth quarter. The Eagles never scored a touchdown in five trips inside the red zone.
It wasn't all pretty for the Saints defense. Another ugly breakdown in zone coverage led to a 77-yard touchdown pass from Vick to DeSean Jackson when Robinson and safety Malcolm Jenkins both covered the same deep receiver. And Eagles tailback LeSean McCoy made the Saints defense whiff on so many tackles early in the game that they looked like the Keystone Cops at times.
But the Saints can live with those problems as long as they're playing this type of risk-reward style that leads to big opportunities for both sides of the ball.
Don't expect this blitz-heavy approach to become the norm for the Saints defense, week in and week out. Part of the reason it worked was because of the unpredictability. It was a great sign, however, that this defense is still capable of being a strength at times instead of a glaring liability.
No doubt, there will still be more ups and downs for the Saints to come this year. But for one night at least, they reminded themselves just how good they can be.
And everyone else who was watching.

Now for the parts. This is the air flow meter. It detects how much air has been drawn in and the temp of the air, so the correct amount of fuel is delived to the engine. How it works is pretty simple. Inside the unit is a spring loaded flap. As air is drawn through the unit, it drags back the flap with it. Under the black cover is a large type of dimmer switch. Now the flap and this dimmer switch are joined, so the futher back the flap goes, the more it moves the dimmer switch which changes what the unit tells the ECM. Simple.

|Benghazi: A Bump In The Road?
OPSEC ad titled "Bump In The Road" hits the Obama Administration for not telling the truth about the attacks in Libya that cost the U.S. Ambassador, two former SEALs and another U.S. diplomat their lives while also having politicized the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
"President Obama wanted credit after our military killed bin Laden. Highly classified secrets were leaked, endangering real heroes and their families. But when terrorists killed SEALs and diplomats in Libya, this administration does not tell the truth about what happened," says Scott Taylor, former Navy SEAL and president of OPSEC, in narrating the ad.
|Dishonorable Disclosures
With 5.2 million views and counting! Intelligence and Special Operations forces are furious and frustrated at how President Obama and those in positions of authority have exploited their service for political advantage. Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk.
The unwarranted and dangerous public disclosure of Special Forces Operations is so serious -- that for the first time ever -- former operators have agreed to risk their reputations and go 'on the record' in a special documentary titled "Dishonorable Disclosures." Its goal is to educate America about serious breaches of security and prevent them from ever happening again.

July 10, 2006 - Washington DC
From Chemical & Engineering News, p. 56
by Marc Reisch
When representatives from nine chemical-related enterprises gathered in Philadelphia for the third year in a row to speak to industry analysts, they weren't chomping at the bit, eagerly anticipating business growth and profits as their counterparts were just a year ago.
Instead, many of the speakers at the 3rd Annual Chemical Industry Conference, held late last month under the auspices of the Chemical Heritage Foundation, talked about the difficulties they are experiencing maintaining profit margins as they try to pass on energy and raw material price increases to their customers. The firms they represented were Nalco, RPM International, Airgas, Lubrizol, Rohm and Haas, Dow Chemical, H.B. Fuller, Cytec Industries, and Compass Minerals International.
Prospects for the industry were brighter at the time of last year's conference. Many speakers hoped then to make hay while the sun was shining, but as it turned out, rain clouds moved in as the year progressed...
Some companies at the Chemical Heritage Foundation conference saw the current round of raw material price increases as more of an opportunity than a challenge. For instance, John A. Feenan, senior vice president and chief financial officer of adhesives and sealants maker H.B. Fuller, admitted that by passing along price increases to its customers, the company had also succeeded in expanding gross margins over the past few months...

About this design:
A floral wrist corsage just in time for prom/wedding season. This design started out the other day at Michael's when I spotted the pink wire. I just had to have it (last one too)! Then I was up until 1:00 AM (Sat) playing with my new wire. Twisting, twisting twisting! This is the final creation.
Components:20ga pink wire, assorted glass floral, leaf & crystal beads, magentic clasp
Read the comments (or add your own)
Lovely I would wear this to the prom !!!
What a fabulous design! Such detail!!!
Definitely worth losing sleep over!
Wow….It is a fantastic design! You did an amazing wirework! Absolutely stunning!
Very pretty
Oh my…oh my…OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!! FABULICIOUS!
So creative! Just Gorgeous!
Wow, want to go to the prom with me?? This is great. I haven't seen the pink wire there. What gauge is it? Love this one.
Amazing creation! You are very talented! The wire work is fabulous. Beautiful, just beautiful!
LOVE this!!! What size beads did you use?? And where did you buy them?? I have an Etsy shop and would love to make similar models
Wow, just beautiful! Love your use of the pink wire and glass flower beads … SLS
Thanks for the inspiring comments everyone! To answer Linda the wire is 20ga. And to answer Katherine, sorry I have no idea where or when I bought the flower & leaf beads. They are all a few cousins (not orphan beads, too many) LOL that have been mixed (now related) in my bead box for quite sometime now. Left over from some other project.
Oh. my this is spectacular…into my favs
Gorgous, wonderful for the prom!!!
wow! can't quite figure out how you did this but it looks marvellous!
What a great Spring bracelet. Very feminine. I'm way too old for proms, but I'd wear it with a sundress.
Thanks again for the wonderful comments! Check out the coordinating earrings I posted earlier today.
OMG! This is absolutely incredible, Linda! Into favs! Wow! Looks like a lot of work, but SO worth it!
I've got that same pink wire – when I saw it at Michaels, I had to have it! Isn't it fun?
BTW, if I make too many errors typing, please forgive me – the cat is sitting on my lap, resting her paws over my typing arm – this is really difficult…
Linda, This is Lovely!

8 a.m. Some days scream out the next morning's headlines O.J. Simpson, Princess Diana and Monica Lewinsky are the types of stories certain to receive heavy ink on the front page. Today starts with barely a whimper. Plain Dealer managing editor Tom O'Hara logs onto his computer and begins sifting through 60 or so new e-mail messages. The newsroom is quiet.
10:35 a.m. "I was given this number for if I would like to become a delivery person," says the caller. New on the job since November, O'Hara isn't sure how to transfer the call to the correct department and asks his assistant for help.
O'Hara, 53, came to the PD from the Palm Beach Post where he'd served as managing editor since 1990. He was recruited by PD editor Douglas Clifton, whom he knew from their days together at The Miami Herald. Over the course of his career, O'Hara has covered beats from sports to politics and served as everything from copy editor to metro editor.
O'Hara's current title, managing editor, means he's responsible for the daily operations of the paper's news coverage a job O'Hara describes as "keeping the balls in the air and the plates spinning." The bottom line is that the paper has to be accurate, informative and interesting to readers.
"It's looking thin at this moment."
So far, the most promising story for tomorrow is Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan's prediction that the financial slump will be short-lived, leaving O'Hara a bit concerned about the front page. "It's looking thin at this moment," he admits.
10:45 a.m. Editors gather at their daily meeting to take early guesses at what will fill tomorrow's edition. There's a congressional report on tainted seafood, Israeli missile strikes, a tattoo parlor that's suing the city of Cleveland to lift its ban on such shops, and PD Capitol Hill reporter Tom Diemer's story on aging water lines. "So we're hurting," assesses O'Hara. Amid this pack, the water-main story stands out as at having the most potential. "Tell Diemer I'm excited and desperate," O'Hara quips. "But don't say desperate; just say excited."
3:03 p.m. O'Hara is anxious for a good story which, in this case, happens to mean abused animals. Cleveland City Council has proposed a law to make animal neglect a jailable offense. O'Hara discusses the idea with other editors.
"I'm sitting there this morning and thinking," he says. "There's poisoned cats here and chained-up dogs. There's abuse and neglect going on out there on the lovely streets of Cleveland that prompted this [councilman] to get the ordinance passed. The question is: How bad is it out there?"
To find out, reporter Michael O'Malley has been sent to spend the day with a cruelty investigator for the Animal Protective League.
span class=h2red>4:20 p.m. "O'Malley! Dogs! Cats! Are they back? Have we heard from them?" O'Hara yells across the newsroom. He finds O'Malley at his workstation and asks for an update. The reporter and the APL investigator heard rumors of neglected pets. "But we couldn't get ahold of the people," O'Malley explains. "We couldn't find the dogs." Halfheartedly, he offers: "There were two pit bulls."
"I go on the theory that if you put a pet story on the front page, people will read it."
Rumors and pit bulls aren't enough for a story, so O'Hara sends O'Malley out for two more days of dog chasing with the APL and a photographer. The hope is for a tearjerker story to run with images of half-starved dogs or caged kittens. "I go on the theory that if you put a pet story on the front page, people will read it," O'Hara says. "Three or four days out there on the mean pet streets of Cleveland would be just a fabulous story."
But none of this helps tomorrow's paper.
4:55 p.m. "Late-breaking news!" announces metro editor Mark Russell as he strides into O'Hara's office. Turns out yesterday's double fatal accident on the Ohio Turnpike has an interesting twist. The mother and daughter who died after a semi hit their car were on their way back to Cleveland from the airport in New York City. As O'Hara tells it, "An old woman from Russia finally comes to the promised land," and is killed before she can see her daughter's home or meet her friends.
5:10 p.m. Reporter Susan Ruiz Patton types slowly, contemplating how to lead the crash story. "Separated by a continent," she writes. "Reunited for only a few hours."
5:29 p.m. "Am I gonna weep?" O'Hara asks Patton, who is finishing up the article. He wants to know details of the story and the reaction of the local Russian community.
"That's the disadvantage we're working with," Patton replies. "We don't know. We've been scrambling trying to find people.
"Keep plugging away," O'Hara tells her.
5:33 p.m. O'Hara checks the mock layout of the next day's front page. The bond issue, Greenspan and a Boston Globe story about love's effect on the brain make the cut. The turnpike crash is out, unless Patton manages to find some friends or relative to humanize the story. O'Hara explains: "That's losing altitude. All she's got is cops. It's not looking good." This day started slow and is ending the same way. "I can see a desperate day early," O'Hara says.
"I can see a desperate day early."
8 p.m. After tying up some loose ends, O'Hara leaves for his Cleveland Heights efficiency, where a glass of Merlot and leftover prime rib await him. He may read a magazine or some newspapers; he generally watches little TV, the one exception being "Survivor." "Because my family's watching it in Florida," he explains. And he likes to call his kids afterward to talk about the show.
Tomorrow morning, he will return to face the same blank slate that only daily newspapering can offer. "A job like this," he says, "you never know what the hell is going to happen."
