Learned a few things during my trip to the Philippines this time. Another country that amazes me. For the first time in history, Philippines attracted more foreign direct investments (FDI) than Malaysia, in 2010 (see: Malaysia's FDI plunge).
There are a lot of people here using prepaid phones as opposed to postpaid phones. This is because the requirements of getting a postpaid account is quite tough (you need bank documents, etc. before they give you an account).

Amanda Bynes is moving out of her New York City apartment after her landlord threatened to evict the actress for being a disrespectful rule-breaker.
Anyone who rents to Amanda Bynes must not pay attention to TMZ.
The website said sources at the apartment said Bynes received a letter from building management earlier this month, saying her lease would be terminated because she's a nuisance.
Outrageous. Don't they know who she is? What's next -- hotels not renting rooms to Lindsay Lohan?
Management apparently got several complaints of marijuana smoke coming from her apartment "morning, noon and night," a source told TMZ.
Did they even stop to ask themselves if maybe she has glaucoma?
Sources also said she was also seen smoking pot in the building's hallways. Of course, it's a nonsmoking building.
Last year, in addition to getting in something like 95 car crashes, Bynes was spotted smoking marijuana all over Los Angeles.
Instead of waiting to get kicked out, Bynes apparently decided to find another place to live. TMZ said the moving trucks were outside Friday.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Dec. 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- A new skatepark is rolling $850,000 to a Columbia County park and now it's up to you to decide how exactly it will be built.
Plans are moving forward for a new state-of-the-art BMX and skatepark and now leaders want to hear from you.
The Division II Soccer Championships may be over at Blanchard Woods Park but plans to bring in two more big sports are rolling right along.
"This is a BMX style bike," said Phil Cohen, the owner of Chains Reaction Bicycles.
Cohen's been anxiously waiting for the new BMX and skatepark.
"Our customers are very, very excited about the plans for this new park. It's something we've really needed," Cohen said. "Although basketball and baseball are really fun, not every kid wants to do that. So we've got to provide something for other children."
Right now, the only other area track is AugustaBMX in downtown Augusta. That group is excited about a new, state-of-the-art park that would bring athletes from all over the region.
"Regional championships -- as well as national championships -- would come to this area which would mean more revenue for this area and more people coming to the CSRA," Cohen said.
The $850,000 park will be built behind the championship soccer field at Blanchard Woods.
"If they do this right, it's going to be first class," Cohen said.
"We're going to build a good one, but we need to make sure that the BMXers and the skaters are happy with what amenities and components are put in there," explained Columbia County Director of Community and Leisure Barry Smith.
And that's why Monday night county leaders want to hear from you at a design meeting for each park.
"I'm planning on attending the meeting tonight [Monday] to show my support for the facility and make sure that we don't just build a facility but we build a first-class facility," Cohen said.
"We're open to questions, recommendations, suggestions. Tonight's [Monday's] the night when you can say I want these ramps or I want these berms for the BMX track," Smith said.
Right now, the project is in the design phase. They expect to start construction in a few months and hope to have it ready to go sometime in the summer.
The meetings are both on Monday at the Savannah Rapids Pavilion and they're expecting about 80 people. The skateboarding meeting starts at 6 p.m. and the BMX meeting will start at 7 p.m.

Saints to interview defensive coordinator candidates
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 10:27 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — The Saints will interview Todd Grantham and Rob Ryan for the defensive coordinator opening at the end of this week.
Additionally, the Saints are waiting on at least one other person to interview, said an NFL source, who didn't give a name for the man the team is waiting on.
As first reported by the NOLA media group, Grantham will speak with Saints officials Thursday while Ryan's time comes Friday.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier Tuesday that the Saints planned to hire Ryan as their defensive coordinator. But with Grantham coming in, that's not necessarily a certainty.
Ryan was fired from his position as defensive coordinator of the Cowboys this offseason.
Eyewitness News sports director Doug Mouton said the deal isn't done yet.
The brother of New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, Rob Ryan has served as a defensive coordinator in the NFL since the 2004 season. He's led the defenses for the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys.
The St. Louis Rams flirted with signing Ryan earlier this offseason, but ultimately decided to go in another direction.
The Saints would rely on Ryan to implement the switch to the 3-4 defense this offseason. Ryan ran that defensive formation in Dallas.
Dallas gave up 25 points a game last season, while New Orleans averaged 28.4.
Grantham, meanwhile, has spent the past three seasons as the University of Georgia's defensive coordinator, employing a 3-4 scheme that helped the Bulldogs go to the SEC championship game both in 2011 and 2012. UGA came within five yards of earning a spot in the BCS title game this season, an Alabama defensive stop ending its chances.
Grantham has an NFL background, having worked in Indianapolis, Cleveland and Dallas.

Are there trigger foods I should avoid to prevent diverticulitis attacks?
Actually, no specific foods are known to trigger diverticulitis attacks. And no special diet has been proved to prevent attacks.
In the past, people with small pouches in the lining of the colon (diverticula) were told to avoid nuts, seeds and popcorn. It was thought that these foods could lodge in diverticula and cause inflammation (diverticulitis). But there's no evidence that these foods cause diverticulitis.
If you're trying to prevent diverticulitis attacks, focus on eating an overall healthy diet that's high in fiber. High-fiber foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, soften waste and help it pass more quickly through your colon. This reduces pressure within your digestive tract, which may help reduce the risk of diverticula forming and becoming inflamed.
If you think that you're having a diverticulitis attack, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will likely prescribe treatment and suggest that you follow a clear-liquid diet for a few days, gradually add in low-fiber foods and eventually get back to your usual diet. This kind of diverticulitis diet helps your digestive tract rest and heal during treatment.

Three Ejected in Single-vehicle Crash
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 9:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 9:44 a.m.
APOLLO BEACH | Two adults and an infant were rushed to Tampa General Hospital in critical condition Saturday night after a car crash that closed Interstate 75 southbound for an hour.
Mario Limon, 25, of Gibsonton, was driving south on I-75 near mile marker 244 just after 9 p.m. when his vehicle veered from one lane to another for unknown reasons, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Limon tried to steer the 2000 Ford Taurus back on course, but over-corrected and the car overturned in the center median.
Neither Limon nor his girlfriend, 23-year-old Desiree R. Parks, of Riverview, was wearing a seatbelt. Their infant child was not secured either, the FHP said.
The car crashed into some trees and all three were thrown from the vehicle. Medical helicopters flew Limon and Parks to Tampa General. The baby traveled by ambulance.
Troopers said the crash was not alcohol-related. No charges have been filed. The southbound lanes of I-75 reopened at 10 p.m.

Broker Note Briefing: Friday
Traders may be moaning that equities are rather lifeless these days–week to date the FTSE 100 is up just 0.2% and the benchmark Stoxx 600 up just 0.3% higher.
But for investors looking for tips, there's still a mountain of broker notes to sift through. Friday's top picks include interesting changes for some of Europe's largest blue-chip names.
Morgan Stanley has "double upgraded" Swatch Group to "overweight" from "underweight" and downgraded Burberry Group to "equalweight" from "overweight".
On Swatch, Morgan Stanley said it has underperformed versus its peer Compagnie Financiere Richemont by around 20% this year on concerns of a China slowdown and on inventory overhang.
"We think both are overdone," said Morgan Stanley. Its analysts believe the entry-level/premium watch category, which Swatch dominates, will outperform in 2013. Swatch now becomes the brokerage's top pick in the sector with 2013 estimated earnings per share 6% ahead of consensus forecasts.
Morgan Stanley still says Burberry's long-term investment proposition appeals, but its earnings growth does not rank highly versus peers. In addition, the brokerage said its valuation looks demanding post its recent re-rating.
Over in the mining sector, Anglo American and Eurasian Natural Resources have been downgraded by UBS.
On ENRC, UBS said it sees an increasing risk of financial stress in 2013. "We had been positive on the stock as we expected restructuring to crystallize value near-term; we still see potential for divestments, but the recent increase in net debt [and] softness in chrome makes the risk/reward less compelling," UBS said.
On Anglo American, UBS notes its underperformance but said the valuation, earnings momentum and heightened risks in South Africa make the risk/reward less appetizing than for other diversified miners.
Credit Suisse has downgraded oil giant BP and upgraded Royal Dutch Shell. After underperforming in 2012, Credit Suisse thinks the market has now digested Shell's 25% capital expenditure increase and small dividend hike of February 2012.
"We believe that a safe dividend yield covered by free cash flow and predictable cash flow growth may be enough to make Shell outperform a lackluster group in 2013," it said.
As for BP, the downgrade is largely on valuation and lack of near-term momentum. Three years after the Macondo oil spill disaster, BP remains in recovery mode in 2013 with positive momentum likely to return only in 2014 and beyond, said the brokerage.

Returning home to NYC on Nov. 12 '07 after a concert with The Conga Kings in San Francisco, Patato became short of breath during the flight. As a precaution, the aircraft landed in Cleveland, Ohio, so that Patato could receive medical care. A statement at the time said he suffered from emphysema due to a lifetime of smoking and had been hospitalised for evaluation and would remain under observation until it was felt he was healthy enough to fly home. Just over three weeks later it was reported that the legendary conga master died in Cleveland on Dec. 4 of respiratory failure. Alfredo de la Fé was one of the first to pay tribute: "Today, the day of Changó, Carlos 'Patato' Valdés, a son of Changó, passed away at 10:10pm. One of the top percussionists in the world, Armando Peraza once told me that when la Comparsa El Cocuyé came by on the streets of Havana you could hear the quinto 20 blocks away before any other instrument. It was a small giant playing that quinto: 'Patato'. Today that quinto has silenced forever only to live in our memories, our hearts, and in that great legacy he left behind. I love you Patato and for me you will always be alive."

Obituary: Alfredo Rodríguez
by John Child, November 06, 2005
Cuban pianist, bandleader, arranger, composer, singer and percussionist Alfredo Rodríguez died in Paris on Monday October 3rd. "He had such a special charisma and presence and dedication to his craft," said UK Latin club DJ and promoter Dominique Roome. "I'm particularly sad because the concerts we organised at London's Bass Clef, HQ and Bar Rumba with him were so memorable in terms of atmosphere. He was a great character!" In tribute, I offer a revised version of a discographic profile I originally wrote in 1990, including an updated selection of his albums. The quotes are from an un-broadcast Aracataca interview Tomek and I conducted with Alfredo in 1990.

Some tests, such as bioburden or viral titer tests, are quantitative in nature while other tests, such as those for the presence of objectionable organisms, are qualitative. As with chemical tests, these differences necessitate different validation approaches. The purpose of a test also may change the procedures for running and validating it. As an example, consider a drug that will be orally administered. Normally, sterility is not a major issue, and the specification allows for a considerable number of organisms. However, if the drug will be administered to immunocompromised cancer or AIDS patients, the bioburden level must be reduced considerably, increasing the test sensitivity required in the validation study.
The nature of the test material itself changes how a test is run and the validation protocol. Consequently, testing for objectionable organisms is different when testing a diuretic for hypertension or an antibiotic for treating pneumonia. Also, a procedure that works perfectly well for checking the bioburden of granulated sugars may fail with sodium chloride. These differences make full coverage of the topic impossible within the context of this primer. This article will present the general considerations that apply to most microbiological tests. However, three excellent publications are available to analysts preparing validation study protocols for microbiological methods (see Suggested Reading).Note also that certain microbiological tests are already associated with well defined validation procedures. For example, the endotoxin test and USP bacterial enumeration tests have clearly defined validation procedures. In addition, individual countries may have specific requirements that modify or change standard procedures. If a test is associated with a compendial or regulatory validation procedure, workers are advised to follow that procedure unless there are clear reasons for not doing so. In such cases, the reasons should be documented and filed with the test procedure.
In addition to the nutrient composition of the media, more general factors such as pH and ionic strength must be validated. While it is commonly believed that media in the range of pH 6.0 – 8.0 are suitable for sterility and bioburden studies, individual organisms may require a more restricted range. The same holds true for ionic strengths and osmolalities outside of the human physiological range. Shifting the pH range from 6.0 – 7.0 to 7.0– 8.0 and raising the ionic strength to 300 mOsm may select for a different set of organisms than those that would be present in the lower pH range at 150 mOsm.
Most validation schemes require the use of five or more "indicator organisms" to demonstrate the medium's ability to support growth. In addition to aerobic bacteria, anaerobic organisms, yeasts, and molds are usually included. This is an important step since a finding of "no growth detected" is meaningless if the medium was incapable of growing any organisms. This leads to two important points.
