VIENNA, 31 August 2012 – A United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) report on world manufacturing production in the second quarter of 2012 shows that the growth rate of manufacturing output in developing countries has dropped to the lowest level since the beginning of 2011.
While manufacturing industry in developing economies largely resisted the effects of financial volatility during the recession of 2008–2009, the ongoing second recession of the world economy since 2010 has equally affected both industrialized and developing countries. UNIDO predicts that the growth of manufacturing value added (MVA) in developing countries will slow to 4.5 per cent in 2012, down from 5.4 per cent in 2011.
Among the industrialized countries, there are positive developments in North America and East Asia. The MVA of North America is expected to grow by 1.7 per cent in 2012, while East Asia's industrial production could grow by 4.1 per cent. However there are concerns that the impact of declining MVA in Europe may spill over to these regions. Prolonged instability in the Euro-zone countries has caused negative spillovers in other European countries, and manufacturing output has fallen in Croatia, Denmark, the Russian Federation, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The MVA of European countries as a group is expected to decline by 1.7 per cent in 2012.
The prolonged crisis in Europe and uncertainty about growth prospects in the US have negatively affected industrial production in developing countries. The decline in demand in external markets has slowed the growth of export-oriented manufacturing industries in many developing countries, and, in some of them, domestic demand, too, has dropped due to the perceived growth uncertainty at the global level.
During the second quarter of 2012, manufacturing growth slowed throughout the developing world. China's growth rate declined to 9.5 per cent compared to 12.7 per cent in the first quarter. In Brazil, industrial production dropped by 4.8 per cent, and in India, by 0.7 per cent. Among other developing economies, manufacturing output dropped in Argentina, Colombia and Peru.
Negative growth was also observed in developing countries in North Africa. In Egypt, manufacturing output fell sharply, by 9.6 per cent, and in Tunisia, by 7.5 per cent.
The UNIDO report also presents growth estimates by manufacturing sector. Due to the decline in demand in industrialized countries, production growth of consumer goods, especially wearing apparel and consumer electronics, has slowed or declined in developing countries.
Read the full report, World Manufacturing Production; Statistics for Quarter 2, 2012
UNIDO's quarterly production estimates provide information about the current status and growth trends of world manufacturing output. Annual data is published in the International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics.
UNIDO maintains an international industrial statistical database in accordance with the mandate of the United Nations Statistics Commission. Data is disseminated through report publications and CD products, and is available online.

on December 29, 2012 - 12:07 AM
, updated December 29, 2012 at 12:19 AM
Not many things have gone as Cody Hodgson planned in 2012. He's been sentenced to the minors because of the lockout, sidelined with a broken hand and belittled by a former general manager, among other hockey troubles.
But as the days on the calendar dwindle, the year has begun to change. He's back on the ice for the Rochester Americans and showing why the Buffalo Sabres have such high expectations for him.
The fans in Buffalo got to see his turnaround firsthand Friday night. Hodgson scored two picturesque goals in First Niagara Center to help lead the Amerks to a 4-1 victory over Lake Erie. He's scheduled to be one of the Sabres' top two centers whenever the NHL resumes, and he looked the part in front of an announced crowd of 19,070 – an Amerks record and the eighth-largest gathering in American Hockey League history.
"Obviously, everyone wants to see the NHL going, me included, but I'm playing in the best league I can play right now so things are going well," Hodgson said.
The multipoint game continues a quality run for Hodgson since he returned to the lineup Dec. 15. In his six games back, Hodgson has eight points, and the four goals have come in the last two outings.
The center started the season as a point-per-game player, putting up one goal and nine assists in the opening nine games. But a two-handed slash stopped his momentum for longer than anticipated. Originally scheduled to miss a week or two, Hodgson sat out six weeks and 14 games with the broken hand.
"I kept in good shape," said Hodgson, who skated with a long list of people that ranged from Sabres skating consultant Dawn Braid to the Amerks' defensemen to the coaching staffs of Rochester and Buffalo. "I've probably been on the ice more than I would have if I'd have kept playing, but I feel comfortable out there and things are clicking."
Hodgson's return and revival have the Amerks hoping they can find their desired consistency.
They had a three-game winning streak in October but have rode a win-loss rollercoaster to a 15-11-3 record.
"When we play the way we need to and we're focused on it, we have a very good team," coach Ron Rolston said. "We just haven't had the kind of consistency that we'd like."
Now that Hodgson and Mark Mancari are producing, a good run appears possible.
Like Hodgson, Mancari's blueprint for the season sustained serious alterations. The veteran right winger averaged nearly 30 goals over the previous four seasons, and he expected a similar result in his return to the Buffalo organization.
Mancari, though, endured a slump of 15 games without a goal and had just three entering the Amerks' game Dec. 13.
He scored the second goal Friday to extend his points streak to five straight games (two goals, five assists). In the last seven outings, Mancari has three goals and nine points to bring his season totals to six tallies and 22 points.
"I was in a little bit of a slump there," he said. "Now it's time for me to get back on track.
"It was really hard to deal with," added Mancari, who played in the Sabres' organization from 2005 to 2011. "I put a lot of pressure on myself coming back, wanting to do things a lot better this time. It was definitely difficult, but all you can do is work harder and hopefully things will go your way. They're starting to."
Hodgson opened the scoring on the power play, and he didn't need much help to do it. Stationed on the left wing with the Amerks on a five-on-three advantage, Hodgson slowly made his way toward the net. He traveled through the faceoff circle without opposition and reached around goaltender Sami Aittokallio.
Mancari's unassisted goal, rifled into the top corner, doubled the Amerks' lead over the Colorado Avalanche's affiliate.
Hodgson made it 3-0 when he faked a forehand pass to fool a defender and created a clear path to the net. Then, Hodgson fought off the hook of a backchecker and slipped a backhand through Aittokallio's pads to get the crowd roaring.
Nick Tarnasky gave the Amerks a 4-1 lead with 8:06 remaining. Goaltender David Leggio from Williamsville finished with 36 saves.
"It's always nice to play in front of the Buffalo fans," Hodgson said. "They want hockey as bad as we do in the NHL. It's nice to get the win for them."

2011 Kiplinger's Best Online Brokers
Every year Kiplinger's magazine puts out a survey of the best online brokers. Every year, I take a look at the list because I'm curious how the different brokers stack up. I'd like to know if anyone has made any big changes or improvements to their service, it might change my mind about who I do business with.
Usually the lists don't change all that much. As you scan this year's list, you'll see the same ones near the top, the same ones near the middle, and the same ones near the end. The meat is in the article detailing the different categories (like commissions and fees, investment choices, etc.) because it adds a little color to an otherwise robotic list.
One important thing to remember as you peruse this list: the best online broker is the broker that satisfies all of your requirements. All the bells and whistles in the world don't matter if they don't offer exactly what you need. With so many brokers, many of which are inexpensive, you should be able to find your best broker, online or offline, if you're diligent.
Let's get to the list…

Stage lights come up to reveal a graveyard set with polystyrene gravestone props and leafless trees. Lot's of dry ice. Defused blue light behind rear curtain. Two men, dressed in rags, stand huddled together lighting their cigarettes from the same match.
Man 1: "I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith."
Man 2: "Really, what's the name of his other leg?"

Cue Tom Sawyer by Rush. Cue fireworks at front of stage. Cue Banj on Union Jack parachute prop dropping in on deus ex machina wearing aviators, a brown leather flight jacket, long white Biggles scarf, smoking a cigar and carrying a photo of him and Elvis high-fiving.

Carriers are just an unnecessary bottleneck especially because they care more for consumers buying new phones than updating the ones they currently have. Microsoft simply need to test its updates and deploy DIRECTLY to end users' phines without the need to surrender it to carriers. If they test the updates with phones that have data plans I don't see why carriers have to test separately again on the same phones with the same data plans when all data plans take everyone to the same internet anywyay. This is what Apple does (which is why iPhone seems like the only mobile device out there with updates) and only makes sense if MS follows suit being what they already know how to do with PCs anyway.
Joe Belfiore has a beautiful mullet.
Nice work guys listening to dev feedback.
What do you think about it? I'm a crazy fan of Microsoft technology, so i feel sadly when read the survey :(
Any chance of getting this transcribed - I'd rather read than watch?!
I want windows phone 7 to have dual camera's so i can use it for video chat. also want dual core windows phone 7 if you have this than i will buy it for sure
People forget the iphone it just a location tracking device. Yes Big Brother Steve jobs wants to know your every move. LOL Windows Phone 7 Wins again!!!!
Here is a website why i hate my iphone. www.ihatemyiphone.com
Awesome keynote! Great first year for Windows Phone 7! Looking forward to the improved development tools
Can't wait till I get Mango on my HTC HD7

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - Tahoe Truckee Future Without Drug Dependence (TT-FWDD) coalition members gathered recently at Jax Diner in Truckee to honor its volunteer base for their comprehensive efforts to prevent teen drug and alcohol use and abuse in 2012.
Through the collective efforts of individuals, a new Tahoe Truckee Committed Parent Pledge was created and distributed throughout the community. Fifty locals have already signed the pledge committing to stop underage drinking by not providing alcohol at teen parties and to "keep an eye on" for visiting children. Community members were educated through ongoing presentations, outreach, and a new website that acts as a local clearinghouse for drug prevention materials in English and Spanish (www.ttfwdd.com). In addition, prescription drugs were safely collected and disposed of at two community Rx Take Back events in Tahoe City and Truckee. Additionally, new financial resources were pledged by valued community partners to bring new programs to the area.
To highlight the value of community volunteers, three individuals were recognized by the coalition for their outstanding service in 2012. These individuals were presented with plaques to commemorate their efforts.
Dianne and Dick Hilly of Truckee were recognized as Volunteers of the Year 2012 for their outstanding service organizing, promoting and running two Rx Take Back Days in Truckee resulting in 340 lbs. of Rx drugs collected. The Hillys also organized and paid for a booth at the inaugural Tahoe-Truckee Airfair. The event outreached to 400 community members resulting in 260 people surveyed. The Hillys recruited and supervised seven volunteers to work this day-long event. This event alone resulted in more than $1,000 dollars of in-kind donations in time and supplies. The Hillys also staffed a booth at Doggie Days in the Park, distributing materials and connecting with community members.
Unwind Salon and owner Nicole Weiser were honored as Community Business Partner of the Year 2012. Nicole and staff Petra Vlkova and Kage Robichaux volunteered for a combined total of 41 hours donating $450 dollars in products and services for the "Unwind and Revive" Salon Fundraiser held in July. This 7-hour fundraiser brought increased awareness to the problem of youth drug use and raised more than $722 dollars in donations. This fundraiser was unique in also being an alcohol and drug-free, family friendly event for community members to celebrate.
Thanks to everyone in 2012 who helped make Tahoe-Truckee a safe and healthy place for local teens to grow up Drug and Alcohol Free.

The Palmetto Christian Academy girls tennis team hopes a mixture between youth and experience can help improve the 4-6 record of last year's group.
The Eagles return No. 1 singles player Corey Caulder, a junior and defending region player of the year. Katie Quinn is the team's lone senior and has been on the team since seventh grade, according to coach Dewey Caulder.
Palmetto Christian will be without No. 2 player Jess Helmus, who graduated. "Our region matches are all going to be tough," Caulder said. adding Bishop England will be a major non-conference challenge. Caulder is keeping it simple, saying the expectations for this season are to have fun, "see if we can win a few more points each time out and improve our focus."
The Wando girls tennis team might have lost three key seniors from last season's region championship group, but the Warriors won't be starting from scratch.
"The strength of the team is having continuing players from last season mixed with a good amount off new players," coach Leigha Jakious said. "It makes for a great dynamic."
The Warriors advanced to the second round of the 4A state playoffs. Team captain Tommi Nagumo's senior leadership will be missed, Jakious added.
Wando will be tested in mid-September in the Bishop England tournament and begins its regular season slate against the Battling Bishops, Sept. 3. "Our goal for this season is to build off our previous accomplishments," Jakious said. "The team will continuously plan to improve both as a group and as individual players. We have a great schedule set, which will help the team with this goal."
Bishop England
The Bishop England girls tennis team will rely on depth after losing two top players from last year's 2A state championship squad. The Battling Bishops enjoyed a 24-4 record.
"It will be hard to replace them, but we have good depth with our returning players," coach Kristin Fleming said.
Senior captains Liza Arruda and Hannah Simpson provide leadership, while Caroline Yodic, Gabrielle Dacuba and Lauren Quinn round out the top five. Fleming also praised freshmen Camryn Deems' and Drue Ranson's additions to the team.
She added that the goals are clear this season: win the region and repeat as 3-time state champions.

Williamsport and Lock Haven mayors are seeking fairer ways for their cities to negotiate during arbitration with unions and to pay for growing pension costs.
Mayor Gabriel J. Campana and Lock Haven Mayor Rick Vilello held a news conference Wednesday to share proposals in the state Senate that attempt reform.
Vilello, the president of the Pennsylvania Municipal League and a member of the Coalition for Sustainable Communities, explained the pending legislation meant to introduce reforms to arbitration law that have been in place since 1968.

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
Mayor Rich Vilello, of Lock Haven, center, explains legislation that he will be reintroducing to the state House of Representatives and to the Senate, during a press conference held by Mayor Gabriel J. Campana, right.
"It's pro-taxpayer and pro-public safety, and it's not anti-union," Vilello said.
Among the points the coalition of 33 communities supports include ensuring any arbitration award is based on evidence presented during negotiation and calculations of new costs are determined by the municipalities' ability to pay.
"Right now, an award doesn't take into account the municipalities' ability to pay the award," Vilello said, saying the reform should be for any municipal arbitration not just those communities that fall into the financial distress category.
The coalition also wants to prohibit post-retirement health care and pension benefits from being the subject of collective bargaining.
"There would be penalties for either party failing to engage in good faith bargaining," Vilello said. "Presently," he said, "You can schedule negotiations and the union doesn't have to show up - they can automatically go to binding arbitration." The reform measure would ensure all parties sit down at the table and try to negotiate a settlement, he added.
Vilello also sees benefits in starting arbitration processes earlier.
"Instead of trying to do everything in six months," he said, "You would do it in a year or year and half before the contract is expired."
Another reform measure is expanding the list from which a neutral arbitrator is selected from three to seven, he said.
"The reason is because the municipalities would have the ability to strike the last arbitrator," he said. Now, the union gets the last pick, so the final arbitrator tends to lean toward the union side, Vilello said. "We want to take the last bite of the apple."
Another possible reform is requiring the cost of arbitration to be shared equally by both parties.
"Today, municipalities are stuck paying for arbitration," Vilello said. "There's no reason for the union not to want to go to arbitration," he said. "If they were stuck paying half the bill they would probably negotiate more seriously and both sides would stay at the table longer."
The coalition would encourage as both unions and administration present their cases, that the proceedings be open to the press and public.
"That would make for more serious proposals on both sides," Vilello said.
Finally, Vilello said the coalition supports being able to appeal an arbitration decision to the courts.
"As it is now, we're stuck with the decision, but if either side believes the decision wasn't fair there should be an appeal process," he said.
Vilello and Campana also mentioned the trend of growing pension costs breaking the banks of state and local governments.
"We want to be included when Gov. Tom Corbett tries to reform the state pension plans into what's called a cash-balance plan, where any new hires would be part of the cash-balance plan," Vilello said. "It's a defined benefit plan, but defines the percentage of the pension the employee would contribute and defines the employers' contribution."
"It's scary if we do nothing," said Councilwoman Bonnie Katz.
Williamsport's costs to fund pensions has risen by $1.7 million and health care across the board is up 11 percent.

Mountain biking has become ever more popular over the years and it is truly a rush and a half, not to mention a fairly decent workout. A hundred and fifty pound person burns, on average, just over five hundred calories per hour on a good bike ride.
Safety is a big issue when it comes to riding, as well. Be sure to check your bike to make sure the tires are up to par, the brakes are properly working, and the handle bars and seat are set correctly. Lastly, make sure to pack plenty of water and a first aid kit, just in case someone flies over the handle bars on the way down (which has happened to a couple friends of mine).
Want to give mountain biking a shot? Or just need some new scenery to take it to the next level? Check below to find the best mountain biking trails around the nation. Good luck and have a blast!

Ethan Wate lives in the small town of Gatlin, South Carolina. He's part of the "in" crowd at school but he yearns for more. When he starts having dreams about a mysterious girl he wonders who she could be. But life gets weird when Lena Duchannes, a girl who is decidedly "out", comes to town. It's weird because Lena is the girl in his dreams. Ethan is immediately drawn to Lena but she tries to keep her distance – and Lena isn't the only one who wants Ethan to stay away. The whole town is against them, including Ethan's grandmother Amma and the uncle that Lena is staying with, Macon Ravenwood. Lena can't stay away forever though and little by little she reveals her secrets to Ethan, who almost can't believe what he's hearing except that everything she says is coming true. They are very quickly thrust into a race against time and if they don't make it they could both be destroyed. And since Ethan finally found the girl of his dreams he's not about to let go without a fight.
I'm not sure where I heard about this book. I think it might have been one of those Facebook ads. It had a little snippet on the ad and I had to know more. So I clicked the link and the minute I was on the website I knew I HAD to read the book. So I requested it from the library and as soon as it was in my hands I dove right in.
What I love about this book is that it's from Ethan's perspective. So often in YA books it's from the female perspective and while that can be great this was a difference I really enjoyed. This book has something for everyone – a little history (although keep in mind it's Southern history, hehe), star-crossed lovers, a race against time with some supernatural thrown in for good measure. The characters are fun and eccentric and the story itself is written so well. When I wasn't reading this book I was thinking about it. And when I was reading it it was almost as if I was racing towards the end with Ethan and Lena. I had had HAD to know what was going to happen! And the minute I closed the book all I could think was "Oh my gosh, I need to get my hands on the next book!"
I can't gush about this book enough. Truly it is probably my favorite this year. So my suggestion to each of you is GO READ IT. And my suggestion to myself is that I need to scrape together some money so I can buy myself a copy. Because this book is most certainly a re-read.

WDYTYA: An interview with Lisa Kudrow
Lisa Kudrow, executive producer of the US version of "Who Do You Think You Are?" was the guest for a group phone interview on Friday, January 27.
I was honored to participate in the call which focused on the show's new season, which begins at 8pm, Friday, February 3, on NBC.
This year"s celebs are Martin Sheen, Marisa Tomei, Blair Underwood, Reba McEntire, Rob Lowe, Helen Hunt, Rita Wilson, Edie Falco, Rashida Jones, Jerome Bettis, Jason Sudeikis and Paula Deen.
Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch, my own questions could not be answered. However, the others asked some great questions, and Lisa responded in kind (see below).
Other geneabloggers on the call were Thomas MacEntee, Lisa Louise Cooke, Angela Walton-Raji, Kathryn Lake Hogan and Diane Haddad, along with newspaper and entertainment industry magazine writers.
Here are some questions and Lisa's responses.
Q: What advice do you have for people who become frustrated or stuck in their research?
Lisa: There doesn't have to ever be an end. That's what makes it such a great hobby. I think there's always research you can do on different branches, different cousins and you go back. And then it's not just names and dates. Then you start looking at where they were living, what was happening there at that time, you start looking at historical documents. And you can maybe draw some conclusions or guesses about what was motivating some of their choices in life.

CHICAGO - Christian Hackenberg hasn't won the starting quarterback job just yet, and even though Tyler Ferguson is away from the team, Bill O'Brien said both players will split the reps evenly when Penn State's training camp opens next week.
"I'm going to see, hopefully pretty quickly, who stands out," O'Brien said. "And maybe neither one of them do, and then I have to make a choice."
Ferguson is back home in California visiting his family and mother, who has breast cancer, but O'Brien gave no indication that his leave of absence will count against him in the quarterback competition. The coach also doesn't think Ferguson has lost the respect of his teammates for leaving the team.
"They haven't played in a game yet," O'Brien said. "Where you really earn the respect of your team, where you ultimately earn it, is after you've won the job in practice or training camp, then you go out into a game and you win a game as the starting quarterback.
"However our team feels about either guy right now, you'd have to ask them," the coach added later. "But I can tell you that once we make a decision on who [the starter] is, then that guy's got to go out and play well in the game, and that's when he ultimately earns the respect."
Milestone approaching
It once was considered a big day, but now Aug. 1 has little meaning to the Penn State players. Guard John Urschel didn't even know what it was when asked.
It's the day that members of the team can no longer take advantage of the NCAA sanction that allows a player to transfer and be able to play immediately at another Division I school.
"That's not a relevant date for us, for our football team," Urschel said. "That's not an issue. Our football team is very much together, very much working toward one goal of winning football games in the fall."
Training camp opens Aug. 1 for the Nittany Lions, so that's the transfer cutoff set forth by the NCAA. O'Brien also downplayed the significance of that date because, although some players did take advantage of the transfer policy, the coach knows the ones who really want to be at Penn State made their decision to stay a long time ago.
"For a long time now I've felt very confident about our players' commitment to us and our commitment to our players," O'Brien said. "I think our players, there's a lot of respect between the coaches and the players. We're not friends, we're not their friends, but there's just a lot of respect."
Injury update
Running back Zach Zwinak won't take part in contact drills early in training camp, but O'Brien expects to have him ready to go by the middle of camp. Zwinak injured his left wrist in the Blue-White Game.
"Zach, I've seen him three or four times over the summertime, and he says, according to him, he's ahead of schedule," O'Brien said. "But he looks to be that way, and so we would expect him to be probably a little bit ahead of schedule."
Tight end Kyle Carter, who suffered a wrist injury at the end of last season, is expected to be fully ready to go for the start of camp.
News and notes
n O'Brien said defensive backs Adrian Amos and Stephen Obeng-Agyapong could spend some time at linebacker, depending on certain defensive schemes.
n Athletic director Dave Joyner said the university is trying to find ways to make the gameday experience more enjoyable for fans at Beaver Stadium, so they'll come out as opposed to watching at home on TV.
Joyner was asked if declining attendance is more of a financial concern or appearance concern, since it leaves many empty seats.
"More people in the stadium, obviously you bring more money in," he said. "But we want to have a full stadium. We want that experience because that contributes to the experience. The more people you have in the stands, the more exciting it is, the more people want to be there and want to be part of that."
n O'Brien said recruit Zayd Issah "won't be at Penn State" following a second arrest.
n Last year's team was lauded for its great senior leadership, and Urschel said the squad has that again this season.
"It's a different type of leadership," he said. "We don't have a vocal Michael Mauti. There is no Michael Mauti on this team. But we have some guys who have played a lot of football who know what it takes to win, the preparation and dedication that's required. There's not a lot of talking, there's a lot of getting things done."
n Urschel said he, Malcolm Willis and Glenn Carson all worked out at 4 a.m. Wednesday before they got on the plane for Chicago.

In the above article a woman gets in trouble with the police when she leaves her son in the car for five minutes on a cool day to go into the store. The police only know about this because someone with a camera phone, who clearly wishes they were in the KGB, informed them. The best part of the article is when another mother talks about the odds of a child being harmed left in the car for five minutes vs. driving to the store. People's threat factors are way off these days. Also, just watch Mad Men to get an idea how our parents grew up. As Terry Gilliam says, "kids bounce."
How many times has some virulent anti-gay figure turned out to be gay? Is the reason that we claimed to hate totalitarian Communism all those years, and I am referring to the Soviet kind for the moment, because we secretly loved it? Why do we need a secret police when citizens feel that it is their duty to inform on other citizens for things other than serious crimes?
One of the things that I find most disturbing about modern social interaction is how nothing is private anymore. It is one thing if someone wants to disclose their own information online, but we now no longer give people the choice most of the time. From the disgusting world of TMZ to friends checking you into places on facebook without them asking, it is just getting ridiculous. Are we Big Brother?
If there is a flip side positive to any of this it is when people use their electronic devices to speak truth to power and protect their fellow citizens. I am thinking especially of when people take videos of police abuse. If only more people would realize that we're all in this thing together.

Slide Show PluginCreate web based presentations based on topics with headings
On this page:
IntroductionThere is already a de facto standard for presentations, so why this plugin? This plugin makes sense for organizations that already have lots of content in Foswiki: It is easy to create a web based presentation that contains many links to related content. The plugin does not try to compete with the bells and whistles of other presentation programs. However, the markup of Foswiki and other plugins such as Foswiki:Extensions/ChartPlugin, Foswiki:Extensions/GaugePlugin, Foswiki:Extensions/SpreadSheetPlugin, Foswiki:Extensions/JHotDrawPlugin can be used to create appealing presentations. Any topic with headings can be converted into a slideshow. Each slide starts with a
"---++" heading.
There are two modes to view a topic:

Digital Album: $9.99
Rumbling rara rhythms, simmering vocal chants and uncompromising lyrics dominate this powerful recording from Haiti's foremost rasin ("roots") band. Boukan Ginen dig deeper than ever into their African roots on Rev An Nou (XENO4027), as hand drums set up an irresistible beat, while horns, keyboards, bass, and Jimmy-Jean Felix's searing guitar pile up hypnotic melodies. Echoes of Africa abound: traces of Fela Kuti in the modal Afrika, hints of soukous and mbaquanga in Timoun Yo. And with the full band in deep, spiritual Creole chorus, the amazing voice of lead singer Eddy Francois takes flight, with all the power of a soul shouter, with all the passion of a preacher. Long anticipated by fans in both Haiti and abroad, Rev An Nou ("Our Dream") celebrates Haiti's dreams of justice and hope with electric energy and uncompromising spirit.
Customers who purchased Rev An Nou also purchased:

My first day of first grade, 1983. My mom wet-braided my hair the night before so that I could have those waves. And my Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox- had to have one of those! I also remember the purple shoes... I think they were called "Roos" ? They had a zipper pocket on the side that you put pennies in.
Noah's first day of first grade, 2007. He had a haircut the day before, making sure that the stylist didn't cut any of the top... he's liking the longer look. He had his Star Wars Lego tee laying out to wear for the first day of school for several days. He also came home yesterday with a love note in his backpack from the next door neighbor girl. Oh my.

Byliner, the new, online warehouse of long-form, narrative journalism reads, fully launched today. With it comes new hope for masses of journalists and readers despairing about the future of investigative and in-depth reporting. Conceptually, Byliner is simple enough to grasp: recruit a solid base of established, proven long-form journalism pros; have them write original material—for Byliner's standards, this means articles between 10,000 and 35,000 words in length—that can be sold as print-on-demand books, or as single article purchases on Amazon's Kindle reader; and then serve as an online hub for readers of long-form journalism to find their preferred writers and publications. The Atlantic's Alexis Madrigal posted an interesting piece on Atlantic online today: a breakdown of the publications whose content Byliner features most prominently.
Just from clicking around on the site this afternoon, I'm wildly impressed. Indeed, if just for today, Byliner has shored up my confidence in the future of journalism—good, well reported, well researched, long-form journalism. And while I'm sure there are many features of Byliner I've yet to discover, here's a quick rundown of five features that make Byliner so good:
5. The Article Lineup
When you first open Byliner, you're met by a Top 10 list of articles, which are curated by the Byliner team and can match your particular interests depending upon the specific sub-category that intrigues you (Art, Politics, Business, Crime, Sports, Travel, Science, Tech). What's especially great is the "Editors' Pick" feature, which is self-explanatory enough, but it's nice to know that the Byliner team is reading through these articles to make suggestions and recommendations. I can spend time focusing on articles that seasoned journalists have vetted (though, undoubtedly, the entire swath of Byliner's collection has merit). What's also nice is how Byliner provides you the option to toggle between recent articles—those having been published June 2011—and popular articles, which, I'm presuming, sorts itself according to the number of reads per article by Byliner users.
4. Everyday I'm Shufflin'
Byliner, like our friendly pal iTunes, has a shuffle feature. You can use this to mix up the articles displayed in the Article Lineup, a handy way to ensure some variability in your reading. For instance, I regularly turn to Esquire, GQ, Vanity Fair, and The Atlantic for my long-form journalism, but in one day, Byliner has already forced me to read several articles from Outside and The New Yorker.
I suppose it's only coincidence that the following was the first article that popped up after I used their "Surprise Me!" shuffle the first time:
Again, more long-form journalism from a source I don't regularly read (Technology Review).
3. History is a Blessed Thing
The archives are a thing of beauty. If you want to read an article written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published in 1936—you can.
2. The Community Feeling
Like Twitter, Byliner offers you the option of following writers (something I've yet to dabble with); you can also follow readers, a unique tool that, with time, will allow Byliner users to create sub-communities of readers interested in the same types of articles, the same magazines, the same writers, and so on. And, signing up to Byliner allows them to track what you read, and then make further recommendations according to your reading preferences. Moreover, for journalists themselves, Byliner allows you to track how many followers you have, as well as how many submissions you've made to the site. Additionally, Byliner provides an e-mail blast—similar to The Atlantic Wire's "Five Best Columns" e-blast—that delivers fantastic long reads straight to your inbox.
1. Byliner Originals
Byliner recruits damn good journalists to write damn good articles. These original articles, written by the likes of Jon Krakauer and William Vollmann, are exclusive to the site and can be purchased as single articles for easy reading on your Kindle reader. This is the true pay-as-you-go model for journalism, and this illustrates the genius that underlies Byliner (admittedly, time will tell whether this system works adequately). Namely, an understanding that journalism is a cost; good journalism, moreover, is costlier, and those costs must be met in order to produce it. But with an online community of rabid readers who enjoy and value well-written, long-form stories, paying $1.99 for a great read will probably (hopefully) be nothing but chump change—oftentimes when I buy magazines, I skip a good portion of the front-of-book material just to get to the lengthier, meatier articles in back. Now, you can get straight to it. (Whether this will create some friction between Byliner and magazines who survive on subscriptions and bookstore purchases—let alone iPad subscriptions—is yet to be seen. Obviously.)

PharmaPoint: Epilepsy - Italy Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022
GlobalData has released its new Country report, "PharmaPoint: Epilepsy - Italy Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022". Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by spontaneously occurring and recurrent seizures. The market is heavily driven by the sales of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) targeted at seizure reduction. The AED market is currently dominated by UCB's Keppra and GlaxoSmithKline's Lamictal. Although both drugs have experienced significant generic erosion, they form the mainstay of epilepsy treatment in the nine markets and will continue to have significant market share during the forecast period. Other key drugs include older generation AEDs such as Pfizer's Dilantin, Abbott's Depakote, and Novartis' Tegretol and Trileptal which still have significant usage due to their longevity in the market. However, the AED dominance landscape will continue to shift towards newer generation drugs particularly following the recent market entry of GlaxoSmithKline's Trobalt/Potiga and Eisai's Fycompa which both offer first-in-class mechanisms of action.
The main driver for growth in this market is the launch of new AEDs, the continued uptake of recent AEDs, and the lower-than-average rate of generic substitution in Italy compared with other countries, although this may change during the forecast period due to government cost-cutting strategies.
- Overview of Epilepsy including epidemiology, etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, pathology and treatment guidelines as well as an overview on the competitive landscape.
- Detailed information on the key drugs in Italy including product description, safety and efficacy profiles as well as a SWOT analysis.
- Sales forecast for the top drugs in Italy from 2012-2022.
- Analysis of the impact of key events as well the drivers and restraints affecting Italy Epilesy market.

The state Senate is finishing the remaining pieces of budget-related legislation for the new fiscal year.
The Republican-controlled Senate Tuesday narrowly approved a wide-ranging bill after a Democrat criticized it as packed with top Republicans' special wants and written in secret.
It guides billions of dollars for public schools and hospitals and changes the way oil and gas drilling is regulated.
Senators also plan to make changes to a bill that includes the authority for Philadelphia to impose a $2 per-pack cigarette tax to help fund its schools.
That means another House vote is necessary.
A general spending bill for the $29.1 billion budget plan landed on Governor Tom Corbett's desk July 1st.
But he's withholding a signature while he waits for lawmakers to finalize budget-related legislation.
