The Chicago Bulls are the second hottest team in the NBA right now. The Boston Celtics can't seem to get their act together. The Bulls and Celtics meet for the fourth and final time of the regular season on April 7.
Last season, the Celtics were the team to come out of the Eastern Conference and advance to the NBA Finals. Coming into the 2010-11 season, the Celtics were favored to repeat their performance and come out of the East again.
With the Cleveland Cavaliers losing LeBron James to the Miami Heat, they were no longer considered a contender. Their downfall was projected, but they fell even further than most expected. The Heat were considered the closest contender to the Celtics, with the Orlando Magic earning mention in the discussion.
The Atlanta Hawks were considered by many to be a distant fourth. The Bulls were looked at to finish in the bottom half of the playoff race. No one fully knew what to expect from new addition Carlos Boozer. As for the rest of the Bulls, they were considered a young unit with tremendous upside.
It was up in the air as to when the Bulls would storm up the rankings and contend for titles.
Well, thanks to Derrick Rose's stellar progression as a player, that time is upon us already. The Bulls currently hold a two-game lead on both Boston and Miami.
Here's a handful of reasons why the Bulls are itching to take the court with the Celtics on April 7.

Lasing properties of disk microcavity based on a circular Bragg reflector75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125227View Description Hide Description
The lasing properties of quantum well structures, where the cavity is defined in the plane of the wells by circular Bragg reflectors are investigated. Diffraction of the in-plane lasing modes into the vertical direction by the circular distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) allows the simultaneous measurement of near-field emission patterns and emission spectra, allowing unambiguous assignment of azimuthal quantum numbers to the lasing modes. The radial quantum number is determined by fitting the lasing spectrum to theory. Lasing is shown to occur in modes whose wave vector is mainly radial, confined by the circular DBR structure, rather than in whispering gallery type modes which are mainly azimuthal.
AlGaInP light-emitting diodes with mirror substrates fabricated by wafer bonding75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125228View Description Hide Description
An AlGaInP light-emitting diode(LED) with a mirror substrate has been fabricated using wafer bonding. The bonded mirror-substrate LED is capable of emitting luminous intensity of 90 and 205 mcd under 20 and 50 mA injection, respectively. The emission wavelength was found to be independent of the injection current. This feature is attributed to the Si substrate providing a good heat sink.
Elimination of transient vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser oscillations using photoactive feedback75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125229View Description Hide Description
It is demonstrated numerically that photoactive layers placed in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser(VCSEL)cavity eliminate the generic transient oscillations caused by the increasing rate of carrier depletion with increasing photon flux Reversing the sign using appropriately chosen photoactive layers, makes the cavity relaxation frequency purely imaginary; the laser asymptotes to steady state without modulation as an overdamped oscillator. The sign reversal depends mainly on the layer doping parameters, but not on the laser power, thus suppression holds over the laser operation range.
Room-temperature gain at 1.3 μm in PbS-doped glasses75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125230View Description Hide Description
We report on room-temperature optical gain at the ground excitontransition of PbS quantum-dot-doped glasses while optical pumping into the next-higher exciton resonance. The material gain in the quantum dots is as large as 80 cm−1. The dot-size selective excitation provides tunability of the optical gain. This is demonstrated by tuning the gain from 1317 to 1352 nm by changing the pump wavelength from 900 to 980 nm.
Attenuation of optical transmission within the band gap of thin two-dimensional macroporous silicon photonic crystals75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125231View Description Hide Description
The transmissivity within the photonic band gap of two-dimensional photonic crystals of macroporous silicon is reported as a function of crystal thickness. Measurements were carried out for crystals of nominally 1, 2, 3, and 4 crystal layers using a commercial parametric source, with a wavelength tunable from 3 to 5 m. For wavelengths well within the 3–5 m photonic band gap,attenuation of approximately 10 dB/crystal layer is obtained, in agreement with calculations based on plane wave expansion methods. For these materials, one should be able to achieve photonic crystal functionality in many applications with very small crystal volumes.
All-solid-state 12 ps actively passively mode-locked pulsed Nd:YAG laser using a nonlinear mirror75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125232View Description Hide Description
Efficient mode locking of a flash-lamp-pumped Nd:YAG laser at 1.064 μm is achieved by combining the passive–positive feedback of a frequency doubling nonlinear mirror (FDNLM) and the passive–negative feedback of a GaAs platelet. the FDNLM consists of a BBO crystal and of a dichroïc mirror. Pulse durations as short as 12 ps are obtained. Temporal evolution of pulse duration in the pulse train is presented and discussed.
The extension of gain spectra and accurate determination of the quasi-Fermi-level separation from measured amplified spontaneous emission spectra75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125233View Description Hide Description
A method for obtaining the gain spectra of semiconductor lasers in an extended energy range from amplified spontaneous emission(ASE)spectra is presented. Hakki–Paoli gain measurement is first used to determine the quasi-Fermi-level separation. By using the fitting process proposed, a self-consistent correction in determining quasi-Fermi separation leads to a reduced error (<1 meV) and a recalibration of the intrinsic absorption coefficient is also self-consistently possible. Subsequently, with measured gain in a restricted energy range, we can obtain gain spectra in a much wider energy range by our proposed algorithm in conjunction with ASE data. The application of this method in obtaining the extended gain spectra of a double-quantum-well GaInP ridge waveguide laser is demonstrated.
Room-temperature photochemical hole burning in -doped glass75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125234View Description Hide Description
Persistent spectral hole burning was observed at room temperature in -doped glass. The glass was obtained by heating in hydrogen gas to reduce some ions to and the spectral hole was burned in the excitation spectrum of the transition of The depth of the hole burned at 200 K was ∼7% of the total excitation intensity and independent of temperature up to 350 K. A possible mechanism for hole burning is the electron transfer between the ions and the Al-related defect centers.
Sub-poissonian intensity noise from vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125235View Description Hide Description
The intensity noise of selectively oxidized vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers(VCSELs) is compared to the shot noise limit. Different operation regimes where transverse single- or multimode emission occurs are investigated. At low-temperature operation, quantum efficiency of the VCSEL is increased leading to photon-number fluctuations 1.4 dB below the shot noise limit.
Oxidized heterostructure planar waveguides75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125236View Description Hide Description
Waveguiding by total internal reflection is demonstrated within semiconductorheterostructures which have been fully oxidized in water vapor at Refractive index, mode propagation constant, propagation loss at and 1.55 μm, secondary ion mass spectrometry depth profile, and Fourier transform infrared transmission spectra measurements are presented to characterize a multimode single-heterostructure oxide waveguide. An index contrast of is observed between oxidized and oxide layers. Absorption loss at 1.55 μm is observed due to OH groups. Near-field images are presented showing waveguiding in a single-mode oxide double heterostructure.
High-pressure, high-efficiency operation of a chemical oxygen-iodine laser75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125237View Description Hide Description
High-pressure subsonic mode operation of a chemical oxygen-iodine laser (COIL) was demonstrated. Singlet delta oxygen generated by a liquid-jet type singlet oxygen generator (SOG) was directly utilized in the laser cavity, without supersonic expansion. The operating pressure in the laser cavity was 0.80 kPa (6.0 Torr). Cooled nitrogen gas was added to the singlet oxygen flow to enhance the output power. An output power of 448 W was obtained for a chlorine input rate of 19.7 mmol/s. This is equivalent to a chemical efficiency of 25.0%, and it is comparable to the highest reported chemical efficiency of COIL using nitrogen as the buffer gas. The obtained value of specific energy of 3.5 J/liter, is more than fivefold higher than that for our supersonic COIL device.

Limiting current from a metallic ideal edge attached to a dielectric edge75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125238View Description Hide Description
An analytic expression for the limiting current in the vicinity of metallic and dielectric edges is developed. It is shown that the basic law remains valid and, for large dielectric coefficients the average limiting current density is not explicitly dependent on the angle of the metallic edge. Moreover, the limiting current depends primarily on the typical curvature of the emitter and not only on the diode gap. In general, the field curvature is reduced by the space charge and, in many cases, the singularity associated with the edge under vacuum conditions is eliminated. The azimuthal curvature parameter is identical to that in a planar configuration whereas for the radial curvature parameter, an analytic expression is developed.

Formation of single-wall carbon nanotubes by laser ablation of fullerenes at low temperature75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125239View Description Hide Description
Laser ablation products from fullerenematerials have been studied by transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Using nickel and cobalt as a catalyst, single-wall carbon nanotubes were produced at an ambient temperature of 400 C. The results were compared with those using graphite as starting materials. It is suggested that the formation of single-wall carbon nanotubes is controlled by both the availability of proper precursors and the activity of the metal catalyst.
Microstructure imaging of polycrystalline thin films by micro-Raman spectroscopy75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125240View Description Hide Description
The morphology of polycrystalline films has been revealed by the micro-Raman imaging technique. This was based on the calculation of the symmetries of the Raman active vibrations of the single crystal and subsequent polarized Raman measurements to detect and unambiguously label all the expected peaks. The relative intensity of two suitable peaks was monitored and mapped on blanket films. Grains with different orientation are clearly detectable, and the microstructureproperties of the film can be analyzed.
Hydrogen in the mechanically prepared nanostructured graphite75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125241View Description Hide Description
Nanostructured graphite was prepared by mechanical milling under hydrogen atmosphere. Several samples obtained after different milling times were systematically examined to get fundamental information about the structures and hydrogen concentrations. After the expansion of the graphite interlayer, the long-range ordering of the interlayer disappears continuously with increasing milling time. The hydrogen concentration reaches up to 7.4 mass % after milling for 80 h. Judging from the radial distribution function determined by the neutron diffraction measurement, there are two types of deuterium coordinations: deuterium atoms in the graphite interlayers and that with the covalent bonds, respectively.
Generation and detection of fluorescent color centers in diamond with submicron resolution75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125242View Description Hide Description
Fluorescent color-center patterns have been written on surfaces of synthetic type-Ib diamonds with spatial resolution below 180 nm via irradiation with focused ion and electron beams and subsequent annealing. The patterns are detected and spectroscopically analyzed using confocal optical microscopy. From the spatial extent of the color-center distributions, the activation energy for diffusion of vacancies in diamond is determined as (2.55±0.15) eV. Detailed information about the formation of color centers in diamond is obtained employing the three-dimensional spatial resolution of the confocal microscope combined with spectral resolution. In particular, the distributions of two color centers, ascribed to different charge states of the NV defect in diamond, have been spatially mapped and shown to depend strongly on the irradiation dose.
Observation of large-scale surface undulations due to inhomogeneous dislocation strain fields in lattice-mismatched epitaxial layers75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125243View Description Hide Description
The surface structure of highly relaxed IV–VI heteroepitaxial layers is studied using scanning tunneling and scanning force microscopy. For bilayer structures consisting of highly relaxed EuTe layers covered by thick PbTe buffer layers, huge surface undulations with amplitudes as large as 50 Å are observed. These undulations are completely decoupled from the epitaxialsurface step structure and can be observed even for rather large cap layer thicknesses. The deconvolution of the surface profiles shows that the surface undulations are purely caused by the nonuniform misfit dislocation network at the EuTe/PbTe interface. On the contrary, no indication is found that these dislocation strain fields give rise to surface structures formed by preferential growth.
Dynamics of ultrafast reversible phase transitions in GeSb films triggered by picosecond laser pulses75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125244View Description Hide Description
The dynamics and the reversibility conditions of crystalline↔amorphous transitions induced in thin films upon picosecond laser pulse melting were studied by real-timereflectivitymeasurements with nanosecond and picosecond resolution. The full transformation time could be resolved in a single exposure experiment using a novel setup based on a streak camera. It is shown that under optimum conditions both crystallization and amorphization are completed within 400 ps. The fundamental requirement for the occurrence of such ultrafast phase transformations is to reduce the latent heat released upon solidification. Amorphization is then achieved via bulk solidification of the fully molten film at a very large supercooling.
Polymerized carbon nanobells and their field-emission properties75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125245View Description Hide Description
Aligned nitrogen-containing carbon nanofibers consisting of polymerized "nanobells" have been grown on a large scale using microwave plasma-assisted chemical-vapor deposition with a mixture of methane and nitrogen. A greater part of the fiber surface consists of open ends of the graphitic sheets. A side-emission mechanism is proposed. A low-threshold field of 1.0 V/μm and a high-emission current density of for an applied field of 5–6 V/μm were achieved, implying that the materials have a high potential for future application as electron field emitters, especially in flat-panel displays.
Electron-stimulated conversion of chemisorbed O to on Al(111)75(1999); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.125246View Description Hide Description
The transformation of a chemisorbed O layer on the Al(111) surface into under electron impact has been monitored by high-resolution electron energy-loss and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopies.Electron irradiation (100 eV) of chemisorbed O was observed to cause spectroscopic changes in the surface layer indicative of oxide formation. The energy transfer from the electrons to the chemisorbed O atoms through electronic excitations, leading to vibrationally excited adsorbed particles, is proposed to be responsible for the observed conversion of chemisorbed oxygen to The cross section for this electron-induced process is estimated to be for 100 eV electrons.

|Congenital primary hypothyroidism (CH) affects about 1:3000 to 1:4000 infants and may be caused by defects in thyroidal ontogeny or hormone synthesis. In the past two decades, there were impressive advances in molecular genetics that lead to characterization of numerous genes that are essential for normal development and hormone production of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and for normal thyroid hormone synthesis. Mutations identified in these genes allowed the molecular caracterization of several sporadic and familial HC forms. Defects in the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene are reported to be one of the causes of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) due to thyroid hormone biosynthesis defect (thyroid dyshormonogenesis). The aim of the present study was to determine the nature and frequency of TPO gene mutations in patients with CH, characterized by elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and orthopic thyroid gland, identified in the Portuguese National Neonatal Screening Programme. The sample comprised 55 patients, from 52 unrelated families, with follow-up in the endocrinology clinics of the treatment centres of Porto and Lisbon. Mutation screening in the TPO gene (exons 1-17) was performed by single-strand conformational analysis (SSCA) followed by sequencing of fragments with abnormal migration patterns. Eight different mutations were detected in 13 patients (7 homozygotes, 6 compound heterozygotes). Novel mutations included 3 missense mutations namely c.391T>C (p.S131P), c.1274A>G (p.N425S), c.2512T>A (p.C838S) as well as the predictable splice mutation c.2748G>A. The undocumented polymorphism c.180-47A>C, was also detected. The two most frequent mutations were c.1978C>G (p.Q660E) and c.1183_1186dupGGCC (p.R396fsX76). In order to establish the genetic background associated to these two most frequent mutations, haplotype analysis was done in patients and relatives using intragenic markers. The results suggested a common origin for each of these mutations. This is the first molecular study ever performed in Portuguese CH patients to establish the aetiology of CH due to a hormonogenic defect. The large proportion of patients found to have TPO mutations (approximately 24% of our sample) justifies the implementation of routine molecular testing.

NEW YORK — Polo Ralph Lauren kept a brisk gallop in the third quarter, but warned its pace may slow slightly for the fiscal year.
The company posted third-quarter profits that leapt 20.9 percent — bolstered by strong sales of its luxury goods. For the full year, though, Polo Ralph Lauren scaled back its profit outlook as it expects to take charges relating to the reacquisition of Polo Jeans as well as store closures. Investors retreated on the news, and the stock closed Tuesday down 5.7 percent to $54.17.
Still, the firm remains optimistic in its growth plans, saying it wants to expand its luxury accessories offerings, build a global denim business, grow its Asian operations and open more Club Monaco stores over the next year.
"This is an exciting time for our company as we continue to introduce new product categories and take more direct control of our brand. The Ralph Lauren brand has never been stronger as the demand for our luxury products around the world is accelerating," said Ralph Lauren, chairman and chief executive officer, in a statement.
For the three months ended Dec. 31, net income was $90.7 million, or 84 cents a diluted share, compared with $75 million, or 72 cents, in the same year-ago quarter. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call were expecting EPS of 76 cents. Total revenues rose 10.4 percent to $995.5 million from $901.6 million, which included sales of $933.2 million, up 10.6 percent from $843.6 million, and $62.3 million in licensing royalties. The sales figure includes a 6.2 percent increase in wholesale sales to $454 million from $427.4 million, and a 15.1 percent jump in retail sales to $479.2 million from $416.2 million. Total retail same-store sales rose 7.4 percent, which reflected a 10.2 percent increase at Ralph Lauren stores, a 7.1 percent rise at Club Monaco stores and a 6.3 percent gain at factory stores.
In the nine months, net income rose 47 percent to $245.6 million, or $2.30 a diluted share, from $167 million, or $1.61, in the year-ago period. Total revenues were up by 15.5 percent to $2.77 billion from $2.4 billion.
Roger Farah, president and chief operating officer, said during a conference call to analysts and investors that the company will cut back distribution of Polo Jeans from $300 million to $200 million in sales, an effort to get out of the off-price channel to improve the brand. "Another exciting part of the acquisition [of Polo Jeans] is it allows us to really enhance our denim business through multiple brands. Based on contractual issues in the past, that growth was limited. We expect the denim category to be accretive in fiscal 2008," he told analysts.
This story first appeared in the February 8, 2006 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
In a telephone interview, Farah said freestanding Polo Jeans stores in the U.S. is a "potential retail strategy," but not until after the company has remerchandised and upgraded the fit and price points of the brand. Polo already operates a few Double R-L stores for high-end denim apparel. There are also some Polo Jeans stores in Asia through licensing arrangements.
Polo is gearing up for the opening of a new 22,000-square-foot flagship in Tokyo next month, which will showcase the company's luxury labels. The brands have had a presence in Japan for some time now, but they haven't been as readily available, Farah said, referring in part to how the brands have been merchandised in the past.
"Japanese customers are buying better products on a worldwide basis now [and] the new Tokyo store will be the first time they can see Ralph Lauren product. The new store is basically the size of a mansion and it will help lift the overall market. I think there's a large business in Japan, and there's more to be done there," the president said.
The company also opened a Club Monaco store in Hong Kong in the fall, and its success contributed to Polo's plan to move more aggressively in fiscal year 2007 to open more internationally licensed stores. "There's a lot of interest and the Club Monaco name plays well internationally. We were holding back to when we were able to handle it…. We're starting to push it out a little bit," Farah said during the call.
The company is also expanding its luxury accessories business. In the fall, the company launched its handbag line, including its Ricky bag. "We had complete sellout with our higher-priced Ricky bags," Farah said. He explained that the bags were backordered during the fall, and that the company managed to fill all orders in time for Christmas. "I was really stunned by the instant success and customer reaction," he said.
For now, the accessories business remains in the investment phase as Polo develops its global strategy. Belts sold well during holiday, and the company has an eyewear boutique on Madison Avenue. The footwear business, which the company acquired last summer, will be accretive in fiscal year 2008.
In addition to acquiring the Polo Jeans business last week from Jones Apparel Group, the company said it will close its Club Monaco outlets and Club Monaco Caban Home stores in Canada. The company cut its view on earnings per share for the full-year fiscal 2006 to between $2.80 and $2.85, compared with an earlier forecast of between $2.85 and $2.92.
"The longer-term payoff of having the ability to quickly integrate new ventures should far outweigh the immediate costs of implementing the processes," wrote Jennifer Black, analyst at Jennifer Black & Associates.
For full-year fiscal 2007, the company is expecting EPS to be in the range of $3 to $3.10.

Spreadtrum (SPRD -1.7%) trades lower after receiving a downgrade to Neutral from Chardan Capital; the firm cites power amplifier shortages (presumably for TD-SCDMA 3G devices) and growing competitive pressures. Power amplifier vendor RF Micro Devices (RFMD -2%), which has decent Chinese exposure, is also lower. It was only a week ago that Avian issued a bullish note on Spreadtrum that touted the chipmaker's design win activity.

Transnistrian passport
|Transnistrian passport
The front cover of a contemporary Transnistrian passport.
|Issued by
|Type of document
|Eligibility requirements
|Transnistrian citizenship
The Transnistrian passport is issued to citizens of Transnistria for the purpose of international travel and for the purpose of legal identification within Transnistria.
As Transnistria is not recognised by the majority of nations of the world (with the exceptions of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, all of which are also mostly unrecognised), a Transnistrian passport is not valid for travel to most countries in the world. As dual nationality is permitted, most people affected are entitled to either a Moldovan, Russian or Ukrainian passport for travel abroad.[1]
The first passport was issued on October 1, 2001. Up to that point since the mid-1990s, citizens were issued a paper insert in addition to a passport of another state (or a passport to the Soviet Union of 1974) indicating the citizenship involvement in Transnistria.

The store that I am listing here is in the center of the block long market selling fruits/ veggies and of course the freshest meat that you will be able to find in Vallarta at prices second to none.
Do not go to Rizzos looking for bargains, the locals will laugh at you if you tell them you shop there.
Fruteria Zayra is the place to go, I believe that the whole market closes at 6 so try to get there early.
What to buy fruits veggies and meat
What to pay half of what you would pay at Rizzos
This is the ultimate adventure for all you people that crave sweets. What draws me to this store in particular compared to the rest of the coffee shops when it comes to buying pie's and sweets is the way they are prepared. Cooked in a gas heated giant brick oven, these treats are still being cooked as if it were years ago. The family that owns and runs the business has been doing it for years. In fact, they first got their start by cooking these treats in the city of Yelapa. Being that al of the origonal locally geared business's have since left Yelapa (it is now only geared towards tourists), they decided to relocate to Vallarta. Go just to look at the oven.
What to buy Anything and everything
What to pay This is a store where locals go, so it will be a lot cheaper than the touristy geard stores that you will encounter
Los Mercados is one location with five different shops inside. Located on the same block as the "old" (now closed) Rizo's Grocery store, on the south side of Puerto Vallarta. The very convenient location is great for anyone staying in the downtown area or south of the city.
Inside of Los Mercados, you will find seating in their courtyard and seating on their second floor. The first shop on your right is Mikey's Deli which has a large selection of imported pantry items and snacks, cold drinks and a deli case filled with prepared salads, side dishes, entrees, deli meats and gourmet cheese and hand cut meats to cook at "home". They also have a large sandwich menu or you can create your own. Perfect for bringing sandwiches to the beach, on a boat, to your rental or to eat on your flight home. I love the Banh Mi sandwich, the turkey and the Grumpy Italian- all fresh and on fresh baked bread. They also have many options of foods that "heat and eat".
Across from Mikey's is Cork + Bottle, the wine and liquor store that features the best wine selection in the area. Temperature controlled and stored properly, you know that you are getting good wine. Unlike some places where it ends up being there for ever in the heat and you essentially bought an expensive bottle of vinegar! They also sell wine by the glass and offer samples so you can try before you buy. Best place to buy wines and champagne for weddings and events. They also stock high end spirits and hard to find items and limited editions. Great selection of tequila, even a locally distilled whiskey!
At the back of the courtyard is where you want to go first- k'rico:) is the coffee shop that has great coffee/espresso drinks and the most phenomenal pastries in Puerto Vallarta. The chocolatines are amazing! Four bars of chocolate in a flaky butter croissant! Also try the cinnamon rolls, apple filled pastry and tarts and cakes! All are yummy! They also sell full sized desserts and cakes for events- so if you need a birthday cake, come here!
Don Fresco is the fresh fruit and produce shop. By far the cleanest and nicest in the area. They keep it nice and cool and everything is wonderful. Plus they sell small amounts of herbs so you do not need to buy a ton of cilantro to make some salsa. I also bought a bunch of dried fruit and nuts to add to my morning cereal. They also have yellow lemons in case you like lemon with your seafood or drinks.
Upstairs is Fireworks- one of my favorite places in Puertp Vallarta. It is a paint your own pottery place- pick what you want to paint and pay one price for everything. I have painted many items including my favorite coffee mug for only $100 Pesos. Best place for souvenirs- buy one of their creations or create your own memory! All the paint and glaze is non-toxic so you do not have to worry about actually using the stuff. (no lead!)
People ask me where to shop and this is always my answer: "Go to Los Mercados- they have everything under one roof!" (I stole that- that is their slogan. :)
What to buy Be sure to paint something at Fireworks. Best memory of Vallarta item. Also great for children. They have tons of things for them to paint in case they are tired of the sun and sand.
What to pay Prices vary. They have wines for 99 Pesos. Coffee for 13 Pesos and sandwiches starting at 50 or so Pesos. It says "gourmet" but their prices are excellent and not expensive for the quality!
Hmmmmm...the best way to describe this chain is to call it a "Mexican WalMart." The prices are less expensive, but you have many of the same products you would find in the local Sam's Club/WalMart.
What to buy We purchased chicken, steak, rum, beer, soda, bread, butter, red/yellow/green peppers, rice, Doritos, potato chips, tequila, condiments, tomatoes, lettuce, mushrooms, bean sprouts, salad dressing, napkins, bacon, chorizo, eggs, milk, cookies and dish soap.
What to pay We paid less than $100.00 (USD) for two trips to the store and even won a contest to get money back...well a gift certificate to use in the store.
This grocery store is in Old Vallarta, and is frequented by Mexicans. We bought 1 gallon jugs of purified water for 8.00 MXN (about $.80 US), perfect for our coffee maker. We did try the Gigante store, which was farther away from our hotel, and it seemed to have more selection.
What to buy Grocery store on the street level, housewares on the upper level. Fressh bakery goods, but the produce was rather sad looking.
What to pay It is a less expensive alternative to eating in restaurants all the time.
Wal-Mart. Yes, they have a massive Wal-Mart in Puerto Vallarta. It has everything too. And you don't pay the convenience store prices. Fresh seafood, bakery, clothes, pharmacy...it's all there. We kept a well stocked fridge for a week for under $75.USD

Quote: Say some testosterone-psycho comes into your dojo to "train" with you and ends up crippling you... because he needed some "realistic training"... how would you feel?
Quote: Anytime anyone uses the word "realistic" and "training alive", it makes me cringe. It simply means the person has an inability to exercise skillful control or technical prowess
Quote: Hurt your training partner and soon you will have no one to train with... coz they're all sitting on the edge of the mat nursing an injury that could have been avoided in the first place, had the people involved, gotten over their testosterone-induced stupidity.

Taxpayer uproar over increased property values is leading the town of Wright to pull out of a multitown assessment program. The move leaves two other towns, Schoharie and Esperance, looking for $22,000 or a new partner. The three towns joined in 2008 to form a Coordinated Assessing Program, which gives municipalities the ability to share the cost of assessing property values. They also shared a professional assessor, doing away with elected or appointed assessors. The ...

I WOULD like to respond to our publicity-seeking MP Esther Mcvey with regards her view taxpayers are paying too much for benefits.
My wife and I live in a three-bedroom property and, due to her cancer diagnosis which has affected her heart, our house has become a struggle for her to live in.
It's a beautiful house in Oxton, but for the last three-and-a-half years, I have been banging my head against a brick wall with Wirral Partnership Homes to try to be moved to a smaller property.
But even with the efforts of an MP plus a councillor's intervention, we have not been helped.
So I would like Ms Mcvey to tell me how we stand any chance of re-housing when God only knows how many more people are going to be looking to be re-housed to a smaller property?
Also, our three bedroooms are all occupied as my wife has to have her own room and our son has his.
I think Ms McVey needs to invest more research into this area, as opposed to thinking a magic wand can be waved and all will be well.
Name and address supplied.

What is included with this book?
As finance and financial products have become more complex, financial econometrics has emerged as a fast-growing field and necessary foundation for anyone involved in quantitative finance. The techniques of financial econometrics facilitate the development and management of new financial instruments by providing models for pricing and risk assessment. In short, financial econometrics is an indispensable component to modern finance.
Financial Econometric Basics covers the commonly used techniques in the field without using unnecessary mathematical/statistical analysis. It focuses on foundational ideas and how they are applied. Topics covered include: regression models, factor analysis, volatility estimations, and time series techniques. In addition, an associated website contains a number of real-world case studies related to important issues in this area.
Geared towards both practitioners and finance students who need to understand this dynamic discipline, but may not have advanced mathematical training, this book is a valuable resource on a topic of growing importance.

In order to write, I rented an off-season fishing cabin on Rock Creek, a one-room place with a bed and a bureau. I lacked the budget for a desk. My idea was to remove a sliding door from a closet in my apartment and place it over a couple of hastily cobbled-together sawhorses.

Danone to Buy 40% Stake in Kenyan Dairy Company Brookside
Deal Would Allow Danone to Enter One of Africa's Biggest Milk Markets
PARIS— Danone SA said Friday it has reached a deal to buy a 40% stake in Kenyan dairy company Brookside Dairy Limited as the French yogurt maker seeks to expand its footprint in Africa.
The deal with Brookside—the largest milk collector in East Africa—will allow Danone to enter one of Africa's largest milk markets.
"This is a very important step in our African development," said Emmanuel Marchant, who heads up Danone's development in its international markets, excluding Europe, Japan and the U.S.
The acquisition is the latest example of Danone's ambitions in Africa. The group has invested over one billion euros ($1.35 billion) on the continent over the past two years. Last year, the maker of Evian water and Activia yogurt bought a 49% stake in Fan Milk International, West Africa's largest maker of frozen dairy goods. It also acquired a controlling stake in Moroccan group Central Laitière.
Brookside sells mostly long-life milk in Kenya and neighboring countries such as Tanzania and Uganda. The company has a 40% market share in Kenya and over 140,000 milk farms in the region around Kenya, also referred to as Africa's "milk valley."
Mr. Marchant said Danone will help Brookside expand the group's product range and possibly expand in other markets.
Danone currently sells mainly fresh dairy products across 40 African countries from Morocco to South Africa, generating annual revenue of around €1.5 billion, or 7% of the group's total sales.
The group continues to look for opportunities to expand on the continent, both through acquisitions and by developing existing brands in new markets, Mr. Marchant said.
Danone didn't disclose any financial terms of the deal. The company said Brookside had an annual revenue of €130 million last year.

Surgical Services
Otoplasty at a Glance
Otoplasty is one of Dr. Weber's favorite procedures to perform as the results are immediate, permanent and life-changing. Prominent, out-standing or asymmetric ears are often a source of childhood teasing or personal dissatisfaction. Dr. Weber cares for patients from as young as five years of age through adulthood who have ear issues. Otoplasty can "pin" or set back the prominent ear as well as improve the contour of misshapen or asymmetric ears.
The two most common reasons for "large" ears are an overly developed conchal bowl and an underdeveloped upper fold (superior crus) of the ear. Both issues can be addressed with surgery to set back or "pin" the prominent conchal bowl and enhance the fold in the upper portion of the ear. A small incision is hidden on the back side of the ear. Permanent sutures are used to reshape the ear cartilage and to set back the prominent conchal bowl closer to the head. This achieves a more aesthetically pleasing and symmetric shape. A gentle elastic compression garment is provided and worn constantly (except to shower) for the first week. Dissolving sutures are used to close the incision itself and no suture removal is required following surgery.
Otoplasty can improve:
- Overly large ears
- Protruding ears or ears that stick out
- Asymmetric ears
- Large conchal bowl
- Large or stretched earlobes
- Lobes with creases and wrinkles.
- "Lop Ear," "cup ear" and "shell ear"

Missed opportunity to fix educational accountability gap between province, schools, local communities
© Submitted
Schoo governance
Premier Wade MacLauchlan's recent decision to dissolve P.E.I.'s one remaining English school board looks like another reactive and ad hoc response to the challenges of ensuring effective, democratic school governance.
Much like the 2008 decision to dismiss the Eastern School Board, then subsequently appoint a 12-person province-wide board, it is shaping up to be a missed opportunity to fix the educational accountability gap between the province, schools and local communities.
Abolishing the province-wide English School board will be popular until reality sets in for parents, teachers and local taxpayers. Next year, they may come to realize that centralized administration has emerged triumphant in the education sector and the hasty change foreclosed on much better school-based options.
Twenty five years ago New Zealand faced a similar crisis of school system accountability. Then Prime Minister David Lange responded by introducing a "self-managed schools" system that turned the whole education world upside down.
Instead of transferring all authority to the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, Premier MacLauchlan and Education Minister Hal Perry would be wise to adopt the New Zealand model and re-engineer the existing system from the school-up rather than top-down.
The Tomorrow's Schools reform plan of 1989 implemented nation-wide "self-governing schools," eliminated school district bureaucracy, and transferred many of the decision-making responsibilities to the school-level closer to the point of implementation.
The Edmonton Public Schools were the trailblazers in the shift to school-based governance and Quebec introduced its School Governing Boards (SGBs) back in 1996. New Zealand's model held out the promise of more immediate delivery of services and resources, more parental and community involvement, and greater teacher responsibility for managing local schools. Today New Zealand has a well-established "self-governing schools" system that has improved over time.
Elected school boards are floundering across Canada because they have been eclipsed by expanding centralized administration far removed from students and parents.
Back in 2013, a Canadian School Boards Association study, conducted by Memorial University's Gerald Galway and a respected research team, issued a stiff warning that elected boards were in serious jeopardy. Elected school boards were no longer perceived to be the "voice of the people," feeding the growing public concern that boards had lost their "raison d'être."
The only real policy options presented in a subsequent Journal of Canadian Education Administration and Policy article (September 2013) were crystal clear: "quiet acquiescence to centralization" or "take action to save the sinking ship." The warning went largely ignored, especially in P.E.I.
The CSBA research report identified the crux of the problem facing elected school board members — the erosion of credibility and the growing public perception that elected representatives had become more interested in guarding their turf than looking out for the interests of students, parents and their constituents.
Changes in board governance made matters worse. The former P.E.I. government appointed a dozen individuals and named them a "provincial board." By adopting the corporate designation "board member" and adhering strictly to a "policy making role," they become more distant from parents and communities.
Establishing District Education Councils is tantamount to resurrecting weakened elected school boards and that certainly has not worked very well in New Brunswick.
Just ask the hordes of parents now organizing to block the DECs from authorizing school closures.
School Governing Boards (SGBs), as instituted in New Zealand and in Quebec, provide a better model for P.E.I.
Under the Quebec Education Act, they have responsibility for overseeing the school's "educational project," developing and approving a school success plan, and reviewing the school discipline code, extra-curricular program changes, special education services, and the school budget.
New Zealand's system of self-managing schools may not have lived-up to its initial aims, but we know why and can address the identified shortcomings. School councils populated by elected N.Z. trustees have succeeded in "bringing together school and community" and, at their best, allow local interests to be reflected in education-policy making.
The new P.E.I. model will only work if school administration is re-purposed for their "support circle" role. All SGBs, we know now, still need professional support in the appointment and appraisal of principals, the development of provincially-aligned school plans, the provision of school-by-school student performance and behaviour data, and in resolving periodic school-level disputes.
School Governing Councils have never really been given a fair chance. Instead of entrusting everything to the education bureaucracy, consider turning the whole system right-side up — for the sake of students, parents and local communities.

FLINT, MI -- Flint School District schools could fall under the control of a state-run district established to reform failing schools, under a set of bills in the Michigan legislature.
House Bill 6004 and Senate Bill 1358 would expand the state's existing Education Achievement Authority, which currently oversees 15 public schools in Detroit and is in place through a partnership with Eastern Michigan University.
Proposed bills call for the EAA to go statewide, eventually encompassing many of the lowest-performing 5 percent of public schools in Michigan. The 2011-12 bottom 5 percent list includes seven schools from the Flint district: Brownell, Cummings, Neithercut and Summerfield elementary schools, Holmes and McKinley middle schools and Northern High School.
Summerfield and both middle schools, however, closed at the end of the 2011-12 school year.
If the measures pass, the remaining four open schools could find they are no longer under local control, with a state-appointed board calling the shots on anything from curriculum to class sizes to staff placement.
For example, all teachers and principals in Detroit's EAA schools had to re-apply for their jobs.
Republican-led education committees in the Legislature recently heard testimony on the bills. It appears that supporters might try to win final passage of the legislation by the end of the year – but that's not guaranteed.
Sen. Phi Pavlov, R-St. Clair Township and chairman of the Senate Education Committee, said there are still issues to resolve.
"We want to keep the process moving. It might not necessarily happen in lame duck, but we want to keep the thing moving," Pavlov said Wednesday of efforts to pass the legislation. "We're working on a number of different modifications to the bill."
House Bill 6004 would establish a seven-member authority board with five members picked by the governor and two picked by the governor from a list submitted by the House speaker and Senate majority leader.
Some would prefer a model that gives more oversight power to state education officials. Others question the expansion of a statewide district because they say it undermines Michigan's tradition of local control of school districts.
Flint School District spokesman Bob Campbell said the administration is paying attention to the proposal.
"It's on everyone's radar," Campbell said.
Flint school board President Antoinette Lockett said the board is keeping an eye on the issue and has an upcoming legislative meeting with state policy experts which should address the topic.
"Hopefully within the next couple weeks we'll get some clarity on that and hopefully have some board conversation," Lockett said.
Vernon Sudberry, whose granddaughter attends Cummings Elementary, said the schools need help, and he's open to anything that can work, even if that means state control.
Sudberry, 47, said he also hasn't been opposed to the state bringing emergency managers to the city of Flint.
"I'm in finance, so I have no problem with the state taking over the city. ... It's not about control, it's about competence."
Other local schools on the list include Beecher's high school and Tucker Elementary as well as charter school Academy of Flint.
"I think it just disenfranchises the taxpayers of the community," said Beecher Superintendent Josha Talison.
Some have worried about a state takeover at the Flint district, which has had financial troubles and slipping enrollment for years. The district recently learned that for the second year in a row it had tallied a multi-million dollar deficit. The district's deficit this year is $4 million, up from $3.7 million last year.
However, many have pointed out that a $7 million fund balance for a vocational school the district operates is concealing what is really an $11 million hole for the district.
Outspoken Flint board member David Davenport has said several times that the district would be better off in the state's hands.
"I definitely feel that way," Davenport said Friday.
"Anybody that comes in and tells me, 'Mr. Davenport, we can pull this district out of this $11 million dollar deficit and and educate these kids at the same time,' they're just there for the money," Davenport said.
The district will also soon begin its search for a new superintendent, following Superintendent Linda Thompson's recent announcement that she is retiring before the year ends.
Flint residents are no strangers to the state taking the reins. The city has been under a state-appointed emergency manager for a year now.
Gov. Rick Snyder appointed former Flint Temporary Mayor Michael Brown to take over the city under Public Act 4 of 2011, the controversial emergency manager law which voters repealed in November.
Current emergency financial manager Ed Kurtz was appointed in August after a group opposed to Public Act 4 got enough signatures on a petition to put a referendum of the law before voters.
Kurtz was also emergency manager during a state takeover from 2002-2004.
Flint resident Michael Hughes, who's six children graduated from the Flint district, said the emergency managers in the city were unnecessary and that state control of local schools would also be unnecessary.
"That's a bad idea, that's straight up bad," Hughes said of bringing in state help for the schools.
Hughes said the city's problem students draw attention -- in the form of bad behavior and low test scores -- and give the whole district a bad rap.
"We've got bad kids, we've got good ones, the bad outweigh the good ones," Hughes said.
The EAA legislation also would create a statewide inventory of unused school buildings. Districts that own them would be required to lease or sell them if another school is interested in re-opening the building. In the mean time, districts would have to keep those buildings in ready condition.
Expanding the EAA plan has been criticized by those who say the system is unproven and doesn't have enough measures to make sure students are learning.
"I think it's very concerning that the governor is looking to give outside agencies freedom from the same regulations that public school districts are responsible to," Talison said.
