China's scorecard for attracting foreign investment reads like this: Trying hard, doing well, but could do even better.
This study records and evaluates the development so far of an enabling environment for FDI and suggests policy options designed to improve it further. Foreign investors were initially attracted to China by cheap land and labour, the promise of a large market and, to some extent, by fiscal incentives. To sustain and increase large-scale FDI inflows, it is now necessary

The third-party logistics and freight forwarding arm of the Deutsche Post DHL Group launched SameDay Speedline, a global expedited airfreight service for urgent delivery of spare parts, critical medical supplies, or newly launched products.
A report released by the STB shows that "changes to the existing regulatory structure…would not benefit the larger transportation system," Edward R. Hamberger, president and CEO of the Association of American Railroads, said in a statement.
Under the strategic partnership, Herzog Technologies will provide short-line railroad operator Watco Cos. with positive train control program management and back-office hosting services, according to a spokesperson for Watco.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The South Korean carrier said certain providers have been charging its customers more than what it would have charged to transport cargo and has tried to intervene, taking its concern up with the Federal Maritime Commission.
A survey conducted by American Shipper revealed nearly three in four beneficial cargo owners and intermediaries currently have cargo on Hanjin vessels, and most are predicting rates will rise in the short- and long-term.
The South Korean liner carrier is surely to blame for its own demise, but how much of its demise can be attributed to luck in an industry where most play follow the leader?

The Hobbit Is a Great Adventure That Takes Too Long to Arrive
Originally posted 12/14/2012 10:00AM
The elegance of The Hobbit J.R.R. Tolkien's rousing tale of Bilbo Baggins helping a passel of dwarves reclaim their mountain home is that the epic spans just a few hundred pages.
Moviegoers, on the other hand, could have first breakfast, second breakfast and elevenses in the nearly three hours it takes director Peter Jackson to deliver the first third of this trilogy in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. (Part 2 is slated for next year.)
It helps that the cast is so engaging, particularly Martin Freeman as Bilbo, a kind, fussy sort torn between the comforts of his divinely cozy hobbit hole and the promise of adventure.
And what adventure it is!
Ian McKellen Has Prostate Cancer

Sir Ian McKellen has revealed that he suffers from prostate cancer.
McKellen – who played Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and reprises the role in the soon-to-open The Hobbit – tells the Daily Mirror that he's had "prostate cancer for six or seven years."
But the 73-year-old says the diagnosis is far from a death sentence.
"When you have got it you monitor it and you have to be careful it doesn't spread. But if it is contained in the prostate, it's no big deal," he says.
Tolkien's Gollum Has a New Role: Official Airport Greeter

Headed Down Under? Don't be frightened.
Wellington Airport, in New Zealand, has a new official greeter: Gollum, the misunderstood monster from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings novels and Peter Jackson's movie adaptations.
His arrival comes just ahead of Oscar-winner Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which opens next month. Like Jackson's Rings movies, it too was shot in New Zealand.
"Wellington Airport feels like the home of Gollum after spending so many months here during the last three films," Sir Richard Taylor, of the Weta Workshop – which manufactured and installed Gollum from Japanese fine arts sculptor Masayuki Ohashi's design – tells Wellington's Dominion Post.

One hallmark of the American experience captured in the Museum's collections is the nation's broad diversity of religious faiths. Artifacts range from Thomas Jefferson's Bible to a huge "Sunstone" sculpture carved for a Mormon temple in Illinois in 1844 to a household shrine from the home of a Pueblo Indian in the 1990s. Furniture, musical instruments, clothing, cooking ware, and thousands of prints and figures in the collections have all played roles in the religious lives of Americans. The most comprehensive collections include artifacts from Jewish and Christian European Americans, Catholic Latinos, Protestant Arab Americans, Buddhist and Christian Asian Pacific Americans, and Protestant African Americans. One notable group is the Vidal Collection of carved figures known as santos and other folk religious material from the practice of Santeria in Puerto Rico.

Susie Essman, Richard Lewis are a hit and a miss
In the eyes of any talent booker, Richard Lewis and Susie Essman would seem like a totally compatible pairing for a comedy bill. Both standups regularly appear on Larry David's HBO hit comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm." They're the same generation (Lewis is 65, Essman 57), and their takes on their Jewish backgrounds, aging and sexuality aren't too dissimilar.
And so Lewis and Essman were brought in as co-headliners for the second annual Laugh It Up Milwaukee benefit Saturday, presented by the Bayshore Community Foundation and hosted at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center in Whitefish Bay. »Read Full Article(6)

text: February 24 2013 February 24 How to Get Help Paying Vet Bills Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Our pets are members of our family, and we love them unconditionally. But when it comes to expensive vet bills and surgery, we also feel a great financial burden. For some it's too much to handle–problems can go untreated, or even worse, families may have to say goodbye to their beloved pets. However, there is help for those who are struggling to find a way to pay for treatment for their animal friends. Here are some options to help you pay for your pet's vet bills: Fundraising GoFundMe is a free online do-it-yourself fundraising or "crowdfunding" service. Make a profile, advertise your page on Facebook or other social media, spread the word to friends and family, and receive donations in real time. While there's no cost to you, the site automatically deducts a 5% fee from each donation you receive. You will never be billed for anything, even if you don't receive any donations. Another reputable free website created to help raise money for medical bills is GiveForward. GiveForward works the same as GoFundMe; however, they take a larger percentage–7% of every donation. Discounts Got a pound hound? Some veterinary hospitals offer discounts for rescue animals. If you got your pet from a registered 501 (c) non-profit organization, then you may qualify. Working in a veterinary clinic, even just part-time, could score you a discount. In addition to creating an opportunity for a discount on treatment, it's a chance to make a little extra cash to pay the remainder of that vet bill and to become better educated in how to care for your pet. Financial Aid There are some great organizations out there willing to help with veterinary bills and services. However, due to the state of the economy, most of them are only able to help animals in life-threatening emergencies. Organizations like IMOM, Angels 4 Animals and The Pet Fund are dedicated to making sure animals do not have to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. Another option is to apply for financing with Care Credit. Care Credit is essentially a health care credit account which allows you to set up specialized financing and low monthly payment options with no up-front costs.

Get a loan from the bank. Ask family for a loan. Sell things inside your home. If you have 2 living room chairs, sell one of them. Sell that big screen TV and get a smaller or portable TV. Have a garage or yard sale or bake sale. There are SO MANY things that people can do to pay for their own vet bills. After owners have done everything humanly possible to raise their own money, and they're still short, then that's the time to get a fund raiser started. I am more then willing to help with a donation of my own, but I want to first see what the owners have done first, to take care of their pet's vet bills. Reply Amanda G. 02/25/2013 at 9:31 pm I have health insurance on my puppy through Petsmart. It's $29/month per dog and totally worth it! That insurance is better than my own sometimes, they have covered more than what I paid them monthly. Of course you could not have it and put that aside but I take advantage of the free check ups, blood work everything they offer to make sure my dog is healthy and up to date on her shots. My older dog (cocker spaniel) had insurance on her since she was 6 and lived to be 18 and our puppy has it and has covered her shots, getting her fixed and check ups. Reply Rondi 02/25/2013 at 1:48 pm Another way to do it, is to set up an account with your vet and people can make their donations towards that account. No 5% deduction that way. Check with your vet first to make sure they allow this. My vet is AMAZING and will just send monthly statements that tell you what you owe, and you can just pay what you can when you can. Whether its $5 or $1000, as long as you pay SOMETHING each month, they will do whatever procedure your pet may need and bill later. Reply

Barry talks about latest book
"You Can Date Boys When You're Forty: Dave Barry on Parenting and Other Topics He Knows Very Little About"
By Dave Barry
Putnam; 240 pages; $27
The parenting angle in Dave Barry's new book comes from the first of the nine essays in the book, in which he writes about taking his then-13-year-old daughter, Sophie, to a Justin Bieber concert.
But Barry warns readers in the introduction that the book isn't just about parenting. Other essays include such disparate topics as grammar, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series and Barry's family trip to Israel.
Barry, 66, has written 25 nonfiction books and more than a dozen works of fiction and has won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary. He recently chatted with reporters from his home in Coral Gables, Fla.
Q How does Sophie feel about your writing about her? You broadcast the fact that she has pictures of Justin Bieber in her room in what she calls "The Corner of Appreciation" and tried to invite him to her bat mitzvah. She's not mortified?
A I have learned to finesse that. I went through it with my son. We always had a deal, Rob and I -- I won't write about him without telling him. I also tell them that without these stories about them that I'm writing, they would not be going to college.
Q Now that you mention Rob, who is now 33 and an investigative reporter for the Wall Street Journal, tell us what differences have you found in parenting girls vs. boys?
A With Sophie, I've never once been to the emergency room. With Rob, he qualified for the "Every Tenth Fracture Is Free" program. He and his friends communicated mostly by putting their lives at risk. Sophie is extremely social. As far as I can tell, she is best friends with every other teenage girl on the planet. They all know each other, they're all in constant contact, all of them are one giant organism of teenage girls.
Q What do you think is different about parenting in South Florida and parenting in the Northeast?
AI remember taking Rob to New York when he was really tiny, like maybe a couple of weeks old. At one point, I was in Manhattan. It was just me with Rob, no woman around, just a guy with a baby. I got more unsolicited advice from women on what I was doing wrong. People would come up to me like, "He should have a hat." I would put a hat on him. They'd say, "Why do you have a hat on? He doesn't need a hat." In South Florida, I don't get any advice from anybody. It's more laid back.
Q What was it like having a second child later in life?
A Most of my friends, when they found out I was going to be a dad again, thought I was out of my mind. I'm not going to accuse my friends of being old. But once their children were out of their lives, they kind of stopped at that point. They didn't have to change anything anymore. When you have a kid again in your 50s, you're totally out of your comfort zone, and you have to readjust.
Q Your kids are about 20 years apart. What was it like raising two different generations?
A It's the best system ever. You have to have more than one marriage to do it, that's the down side. I recommend it strongly. Neither of them has anything the other one covets. The only thing in common they have is their father.
Q You aren't a grandparent yet, right?
A I'm going to be in June.
Q New fodder for a book?
A Oh, my gosh, yeah, I'm going to use that.
Q Do you know what they're having?
A It's a boy. Good luck to them.

I agree with the shorts that Albany Molecular faces tough challenges. The biopharma industry has suffered some tough years.But Albany Molecular is a good company with quality management. The biopharma industry is the best industry considering global demographics and global economic growth.Short term pain offers tremendous buying opportunities. My long term price target for AMRI is 4 times book.
well said.
> I choose to be optimistic. Be realistic!
Bioinvestor makes very good point. Loss of Allegra royalties would be very bad for AMRI. And it's a challenging time for pharmas and biotechs. I'm simply optimistic about the future, that management will overcome the challenges. That the current short term challenges present long term opportunities. There are many uncertainties about the problems and opportunities. I choose to be optimistic.
Backing out royalties gives about a $60 loss last year. Discount write downs (why?) and about $30 M of that loss is attributable to ongoing operations. My inference from the year end results is they were mainly due to medicinal chemistry and Organichem. The situation will get worse as AMRI stated Organichem will lose major products this year! The overhead for medicinal chemists must be much lower than a manufacturing site which is very hard to close down. The solution proposed is for Organichem to start making generics � this will take time, money and hardly realistic given the competition and cost structure of Indian and Chinese firms! Royalties already down 11% last year and will decrease significantly at the end of the year when I believe the Aventis patents will be found invalid. Since there has not been a significant downsizing (remember many Mt. Prospect employees were transferred to �underworked� Albany with the usual expensive relocation package), I predict much of the cash reserve will be used in a massive downsizing rather than dealing with these issues now and downsizing/divesting unprofitable units. Do I think it will crash and burn? The next few quarterly earnings (losses) will be interesting! Why not make your own mind up!
You wrote:While you are looking at the financials, back out the royalties to obtain a clear picture of how catastrophic it will be when they go! ---Do you mean that AMR is going to crash and burn? Or am I reading you wrong?
knowtain wrote:>The biopharma industry is the best industry considering global demographics and global economic growth.Yes, biotech and pharma are the best for investment. But point is AMRI is none of them.AMRI is just a contractor, period.
> Yes, biotech and pharma are the best for investment. But point is AMRI is none of them.AMRI is just a contractor, period. Pure biopharmas are a gamble. Albany Molecular will be around a while. Pure biopharmas either get bought up or go bankrupt. Albany Molecular has multiple revenue streams with ability to play biopharma game. The idea of patent expiration is good for R&D outsources like Albany Molecular in long term. So short term Allegra pain brings long term gain.

Discover the magic of shimmering Luminarte Primary Elements powders and make gorgeous backgrounds for your mixed media and paper crafting projects! This video from Marti Wills shows you how easy it is to create custom colors that shimmer, which can be used for various projects.
- Luminarte Primary Elements artist pigment powders
- Gum Arabic (powder or liquid)
- Cardstock or watercolor paper
- Paintbrush
- Water
- Saran wrap
- Mister of water
- Liquitex Glazing Medium
- Foam stamps (like Claudine Hellmuth stamps)
Luminarte Primary Elements are a powdered form of pigment color with shimmering mica added. Powdered pigment is the basis of all sorts of forms of paint and colorants. The advantage of using them this way is that you buy the colors once and then you have loads of options of what type of paint you make by what medium you mix them into. A medium is simply the base of your paint - gum arabic can be used with water for a watercolor or you can mix them with the many other forms of mediums by Golden, Liquitex and others to form a variety of paints for a variety of uses and surfaces.
- Place an equal amount of Primary Elements powder and Gum Arabic onto your craft sheet or plastic paint palette - you only need a SMALL amount to make a good amount of paint. Dip your brush in water and add it to your powder to form a watery wash of paint.
- Cut your cardstock to the size you want and cover it quickly with 2-3 colors of the watery paint washes. When it is covered, mist with water and then lay a wrinkled piece of Saran Wrap on top and set aside to dry.
- Mix equal parts Primary Elements powder and Liquitex Glazing Medium to make a paint. Cover a piece of cardstock with the paint and let it dry.
- Mix a small amount of paint using either water and gum arabic or more glazing medium and use the foam stamps to stamp a random design on the cardstock.

Never heard of this primary elements powder or luminarte before this video. What a great idea to make cards or even wall art. I also like the idea that you are in control of what you are trying to achieve and the colors you want. I have went looking for card stock in a certain color and had to settle for what store had. Also love that you can use a stamp for a design. Can you use a full size stamp too like a fairy with this powder? Love it.

Crawford County town gets new look
CONNEAUTVILLE -- Volunteers are getting Conneautville ready for its bicentennial in 2014.
The first order of business: prettying up the borough municipal building on Main Street.
Volunteers have scraped and power washed the building, once a private home. Employees from the Home Depot store in Meadville will volunteer their time to paint the building today.
It's the first step in a long-range community makeover, said Carol Bocan, of Conneaut Valley Pride. The local community action group organized last fall to improve Conneautville, Springboro and other towns along Conneaut Creek.
This week's inaugural project was powered by 16 Conneautville residents who donated $25 each, or $400, for paint. Conneautville Borough picked up the remainder of the $602 tab.
The "blotchy green" building will be painted "a kind of terra-cotta color" with white trim, as recommended by Conneaut Area Senior High School art teacher Mike Vorisek, Bocan said.
"Mike came and took a look at the building and said that if we want it to stand out, which it doesn't now, it needs to be a strong color," Bocan said.
Bocan shared the revitalization plans with Home Depot staff, who offered a 20 percent discount on paint plus 11 employee volunteers to apply it.
Lunch for the painters will be provided by the St. Peter Altar & Rosary Society, funded by a $100 contribution from the Conneaut Area Senior High School student council.
Springboro artist Tami Hritzay is applying a different kind of paint at Ruth's Family Restaurant on Main Street. Hritzay is painting a mural of the old Erie Extension Canal, which carried flat boats filled with goods through Conneautville in the mid-1800s.
Hritzay was commissioned by Conneaut Valley Pride, which is raising money to pay the $4,500 cost, and is working with Conneautville Historical Society President Betty Kovac on details of the 12-by-24-foot mural.
The bicentennial celebration is still being planned, probably for late August 2014, Bocan said.

Credit Card Wisdom
September 11, 2014 by Dr. Letitia Wright
Filed under Featured Articles, Front Page
Thinking about a credit counselor? Think again. Many entrepreneurs seek out information to get out of debt and find credit counselor scams. Here is how the scam works. They pay for articles to be posted on blogs with links to their pages. You read the article and feel like you got some great information. Then you click and follow the link. The link takes you to a fancy webpage which promises to make your credit problems go away. They either don't do much or they give you more headaches. If you use a credit counselor use one that is local to you. Visit their office. Find other people who have used them and were happy with the results.
These scammers give you advice like- reduce your costs. Of course, you know to reduce your costs. You have cut back as much as you can. There isn't any more to cut back. You need a different kind of help. Or you need an increase in income. If you have your own business, you can use a program like Double Your Revenue. This program teaches you how to increase sales in your business. If this is a program you would like to hear more about just text, DOUBLE to 909 235 9744.
They give you advice like update your budget. Most people do not have a budget or are not on their business if they are having a lot of difficulties. It's pretty hard to budget when there is no money. Consolidating your loans is not an option for people who are in trouble with their creditors. Increasing your income is a great strategy. You can pay more bills with more money coming in. But you have to learn how.
The Reality Of Payday Loans

The Reality Of Payday Loans
Pay day loans or pay day advances were a thing of the past. Most people who worked in the formal sector had not even used this service let alone heard it. It was the hard work that they put in that counted and so they counted on promotions.
Fast forward to the second decade of the 21st century and they are now a trend. They have become a service that is widely used by at least 25% of persons in the formal sector. Why you ask? This is because the cost of living has risen and profits among companies have fallen.
Since the economic crunch of 2008, we have seen a rise in the costs of food, mortgage, telephone bills, fuel, health services and in the education sector. Pay day advances from lenders such as http://www.mypaydaylender.co.uk are widely applied for by households especially the breadwinners who have to complete paying the bills; be it electricity or the mortgage. But is there really a motivating factor as to why people are obliged to request a pay day advance?
Well I could ask, why can't someone endure those few couple of days doing side hustles to boost their incomes? Because a pay day loan is only a benefit in the short run but when you look at the long run, it is actually a loss.
Short term gain
First you have to deal with the interest that you have to pay. So that means you actually pay more for that advance cash. This mostly happens during the festive season. People mostly look to get the advances early so that they can enjoy and revel during this season which calls for celebrating. But then January comes along and then its back to square one and reality hits you. Its mid-January and you are practically broke.
So what am I trying to say here?
Taking a pay loan advance is not a necessity. You can start by planning on how to evade this by budgeting your monthly income right from the word go. I must say this will take some lean spending at some point in the month, cutting on electricity usage and all that. In the long run, you will have escaped some very dire consequences.
'm not saying that it's wrong to do that or a taboo for that matter but we must be wise in our spending. But this is just my opinion and that according to me is the reality behind payday loans. I think that this would be the first step to actually evading the temptation of taking a pay day advance.
5 tips to manage cashflow and improve business costs

5 tips to manage cashflow and improve business costs
Whether planning a start-up or reviewing financial management and operation of an existing business, there are usually two questions at the forefront of the mind: how do I manage cashflow best? And how do I keep business costs low?
To list down every recommendation, trick, piece of advice, process and consideration to address these fundamental areas of business success would require an extensive textbook… so this article offers five quick tips to establish control over your cashflow and business costs, and the impact they have on your profit, survival and growth:
1. Invoice smarter
Slow-paying customers can present a huge issue for small businesses in particular – especially when those businesses are experiencing the same issues as your business and waiting for their own cash to come in. It can be a tricky cycle.
Ensure your invoicing process is streamlined, invoices are promptly mailed out and the invoice content is clear and easy to read. Simple omissions such as failure to include purchase order numbers and payment terms can bring on setbacks and delays.
Assess whether your business is able to go one step beyond and make the payment process easier and faster for your customers. Electronic payment systems, or discounts offered for rapid payment of invoices, can speed up transactions and may also improve processing times on your side.
2. Negotiate
Just because a price has been quoted, or you have been paying the same rate for years and years, doesn't mean that is what you have to pay.
Work hard to negotiate with your suppliers since many are willing to discuss pricing and rates (they want to retain your business after all!)
Every little bit might just help – whether addressing standard utility overheads such as energy and phone bills, or working to pay less for the office stationery – it could have a significant impact on your bottom line.
3. Get close to your accountant
Many businesses, particularly smaller ones, look to liaise with their accountant only at a time of need.
A solid accountant can provide invaluable advice and serve as a useful resource, sharing knowledge, insight and recommendation all year round.
Services such as cost management, profit management, investment, funding consultancy and general check-ups can help you keep things on track and optimise the health of your balance sheet.
Build a regular relationship and dialogue with your accountant to drive smarter business decisions, higher profits, reduced taxes and improved cash flow
4. Explore alternative credit and funding options
A wide range of alternative funding solutions are available in the market – non-bank lending is now at its highest in five years as more and more SMEs recognise the benefit of short-term, affordable cash flow solutions.
Beyond the company credit card, hire purchase agreements, leasing arrangements and overdrafts – cash flow products such as crowd-funding and invoice finance could provide much-needed cash and capital to help you manage seasonal demand, or the challenging peaks and troughs of delayed customer payments. If you have followed the previous tip and have a good accountant, they will be full of advice and recommendation on the best path for you.
Overdrafts, premium funding, lease facilities and cashflow funding products such as factoring can all be excellent tools to help match cash supply with outlays. These arrangements take time to set up, so you need to be prepared in advance.
5. Plan, plan, plan – and stick to it
Heavily monitor your balance sheet and your cash flow budget.
The continual review and action planning for the credit you arrange, the bills you pay, how you pay those bills, and when your payments are coming in are all critical for the survival of the business.
It is important to revise your cash flow budget periodically which an accountant can assist with and deliver as an automated, streamlined process. Simple exercises such as payment prioritisation, strategic management of credit terms, weekly cash flow projections and payment collections all form the foundations of the dynamic accounting function of a business.
A solid system in place such as this will also allow you to plan for lean times and schedule purchases and allocation of capital when you need it most.
