In the studio with Shae, Chad, Pharrell, Game, Polow, Keri Hilson, Jared Evans.
There are many lessons that come from age and experience, and when one discovers such a thing, one is compelled to broadcast it to the world. This is that. Sometimes those declarations sound like the cantankerous frustrations of cranky old men. But while this piece of writing you find in your hands does indeed center on one very important lesson, it will come with none of that "Back in my day!" nostalgia to scare you away. Because this is a story about right here and right now. Yes, there are hints of the future and just a bit of the past, but it's certainly about today. Which is to say: it's about NOTHING.NOTHING is the title of the 4th studio album from Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shae Haley – collectively, the three musicians-slash-producers-slash-singers-slash-songwriters known as N*E*R*D. (No-one Ever Really Dies).
Formed as a concept band in their hometown of Virginia Beach, in 2000, N*E*R*D stands – defiantly – ten years later as a group of musicians who have worked tirelessly to carve out and conquer a new space in an otherwise nebulous musical world. Amazingly, this was not the album you were intended to hear. Early in 2010, Pharrell, Chad and Shae sat in their Miami recording studio listening to roughly 20 songs, recorded over the previous year, that they believed would form their newest album. Previous LPs, like their critically-acclaimed, highly-influential IN SEARCH OF, and its follow-ups, FLY OR DIE and SEEING SOUNDS, had explored the diasporas of the rock 'n roll sound. They tenaciously, passionately created a musical space that subscribed to no boundaries or set of rules; and in that, created a loyal and dedicated following of fans that came from a myriad of backgrounds.

"Pharrell Williams helps YouTube star Alyssa Bernal make her mark."
When multiplatinum artist and producer Pharrell Williams is so anxious to get in touch with someone that he contacts her high school to try and track her down, you know that there is something special happening. When that happened to singer-songwriter and YouTube sensation Alyssa Bernal, the teenager was shocked. "They didn't know who Pharrell was! They just thought it was some shady guy trying to get a hold of me," said Alyssa.
Her mother finally spotted his MySpace message and 24 hours later, she and Alyssa were on a plane from their home in San Antonio, TX to meet Pharrell and Interscope Records Chairman Jimmy Iovine in Los Angeles. "Finding a new talent like Alyssa is so exciting to me," Pharrell said. "There are a lot of young singers out there who can carry a tune, but Alyssa is the real deal. She is a true musician with an incredible voice." Once signed to Star Trak, Alyssa met with her dream producer, Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, Train).
Terefe's schedule was fully booked for the next few months, but after an hour-long meeting with the young singer, he agreed to work with her – starting immediately.Alyssa and her mother moved to London for seven weeks to record her debut album, "In Love Again For The First Time." Terefe helped develop Alyssa's naturally sunny sound, enlivening her pop sensibility with notes of funk and soul. First single "Cali Cali Cali" is available on iTunes now, and is the perfect example of Alyssa's sunny yet substantive style. Visit AlyssaBernal.com to watch her DIY video of the track and stay tuned to the site for updates on her debut.

According to 88 Keys' Twitter, he's doing some beats for Pusha T. probably for his Studio Album, so it does look like Pusha T. is with G.O.O.D. Music at all, we'll see, thanks to roflcopter. "Working on some beats for this guy @PUSHA_T right this second"
On 'RapFix Live,' Swizz recounted the epic meeting of the super-producer minds. It was a picture worth a thousand tweets: multi-platinum producers Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and Swizz Beatz all working together in one studio. The image was snapped by Clinton Sparks and posted on his Twitter earlier this month. During MTV News' "RapFix Live" on Thursday (August 26), Swizz explained that the trio were booked in the same studio — Swizz to work with N*E*R*D and Kanye to work on Swizzy's forthcoming solo effort. By the end of the night, though, they all converged and had a "real down-to-earth conversation; I think hip-hop needs more of that," Swizz recalled. "It's really confidential, I'm not even gonna front,"
Swizz said about what went down that night. "I don't want to be the person to let all the news out. I got to save some stories in case 'Ye or P wanna elaborate on that. But just know that it was epic, and it was amazing to see such forces in the room, humbled but honest at the same time, comparing notes, comparing music." The Ruff Ryders alum said the three producers are very "serious" when they discuss and critique each other's work. But the respect level is so high that no one takes the suggestions personally, Swizz said. And he hopes that the "positive, competitive energy" they have together results in the best possible music. "If someone is saying 'no' to something or 'It's not right,' the reason why is gonna come, and then the debate," Swizz said of the process. "And you make the decision after that."
Nelly Furtado has confirmed that she's recruited The Neptunes to produce tracks for her next English record 'Lifestyle', who, as you know, recently enlisted Nelly to feature on the new N*E*R*D record "Hot-N-Fun". Besides The Neptunes, Nelly has teamed up with the lead singer of awesome electro band Passion Pit, to record what she describes as "a pretty ballad". Nelly has also taken some interesting musical inspiration for Lifestyle, revealing to Flare Magazine that she's penned a new song called "The Edge" that was inspired by the Tiger Woods cheating scandal.
In addition to the producers already mentioned, Nelly has also recorded several songs with dance DJ Tiesto, as well as Ryan Tedder and Salaam Remi. She's even clocked in more than twenty tracks with Timbaland, but it's currently unclear whether he'll make the final cut of her album, after she announced back in March that Timbo probably wouldn't appear on Lifestyle. Lifestyle is currently due this Fall, meaning that it's on track for a fourth quarter release.
This is the alternate version of The Neptunes produced tune Don't Look Back by Papa Roach which shoulda been on their platinum album Getting Away With Murder from 2004 but it just had a B-Side release on the lead single Getting Away With Murder. The version that features N*E*R*D on the track has been released on The Biker Boyz OST from 2003 which shoulda been also a single according to Pharrell, you can get both version below for your iPod, thanks to Aaron.

Pharrell Williams is battling an Italian fashion firm over his Ice Cream clothing line. He's suing the Gilmar Group for blocking a trademark application on his brand name on grounds that it's too similar to Gilmar's Ice and Iceberg labels. The acclaimed music producer claims that adding the word "cream" — street slang for money — "creates a vastly different sound, appearance, meaning and overall commercial impression." Iceberg is a company that was founded in Italy in 1962 and opened its first showroom in New York in 1991. Pharrell launched his Ice Cream collection in 2004, along with his other brand, Billionaire Boys Club.
According to the Pharrell x Fasterlouder.com article, The Neptunes have been in the studio with Timbaland, T. I., Nicki Minaj, Avril Lavigne, Ciara and Rihanna. Pharrell Williams – musician, producer, designer, and perpetual nominee for the coveted "Awesomest Dude Alive" – is on the other end of the phone, and I'm a little bit starstruck. He's taking some time out from putting the final touches on N*E*R*D's fourth album, Nothing and from his countless other projects, including the score to a new animated movie Despicable Me written with Hans Zimmer and Heitor Pereira and performed by a 67-piece orchestra. "Thank God we finished that", says Pharrell. "And…then I've also got a couple of other things going on, in art, that I can't really talk about at the moment. But I definitely have some more art endeavours coming.
And when you see it you'll notice it, because it's from a grant – I got a grant to back me for it.And then, also the regular stuff. The BBC, Ice Cream [his clothing labels] – we're doing some amazing things with Timbaland. And then, um, I dunno. I just went in with T.I., just went in with Gucci Mane, Nicki Minaj, uh, Shay's stuff, Avril Lavigne – all people who wanted to try different things. Ciara, Rihanna…" All this, of course, has been going on at the same time as the sessions for the N*E*R*D album. So with everything that's going on, with all the different sounds and styles that are clearly flying around inside his head, what can he tell us about Nothing?
"Uh…it is definitely…it's timeless, in the sense that it borrows from different eras. And so, because it's not from this time that makes it timeless. People could be listening to it at any time. You could have put it on at Woodstock, or put it on in the club tomorrow. It's super-sexy sounding, but what we're talking about is everyday issues." It's interesting that he brings up "sexy"; when Seeing Sounds came out Pharrell's lyrics were blasted in US Rolling Stone with contributing editor Christian Hoard declaring that "you don't learn much from Pharrell's lyrics except that he's horny." Over to you, Pharrell… "You know what's so funny? Everyone reads that same stupid review, from that same guy.
We've made that fucker famous. I mean, I'm sure in their own respect they are probably a great writer and do great things, but it was one writer. And yet we get asked that question every time because it's come up on Google. That's the one thing I would change." "But I think that for the most part, when that review made it back to us, it was during a time when we were playing the songs for people [to preview Seeing Sounds ], and that particular batch of songs was very sexually oriented. So that person took it as the whole Seeing Sounds album was super-sexual. But it wasn't – they just happened to hear a particular line-up of songs that happened to have sexual themes. But the person only heard five records, and I think there was a total of twelve or thirteen songs on the album."
"So all that is to say, yes, there is a sexual slant to the things I write about. But, y'know, what part of the things that I write that are sexual don't usually happen when making another human being? Y'know? OK, I'm saying sexual things, but how do we make people?" It seems to me that in the last 12 months, a lot of hip hop and rap artists have stopped using jazz hooks as the basis for their music, and instead have shifted to European house, techno or dance music; but will N*E*R*D be going down the same path? "Well, I don't want to give away our secret," Pharrell coyly comments, "But when everybody else is on the highway, we've been known to take planes. So, if that's what everybody else is doing, good for them. But we wanna continue to rock this planet, rock this solar system." What more can you ask for?
N*E*R*D's 'Nothing' album is finally scheduled to arrive this September, after undergoing some serious reconstructive work and a sharp change in direction. According to Pharrell Williams, the decision to scrap 27 potential songs for the album earlier this year has inspired a completely new body of work. "We got rid of those tracks and started with nothing, so I was like, that's what we need to do — we need to call [the album] 'Nothing," Pharrell tells The BoomBox. "At the end of the day, how did the world come about? They said it started with the Big Bang, but what was before the Big Bang? What comes before all great ideas? Before you're inspired … Nothing!" Although Pharrell has repeatedly described the album's current line-up of songs as "lifestyle" music, the N*E*R*D frontman doesn't actually hold the new content in such light regard.
Observations on current events, technology, and the dizzying pace of daily life, were all driving forces in the effort to create an album dedicated to "escapism," or an alternative reality. "We've had so many things going on, from the technological advancements of the iPod, and the iPad, which are genius," Pharrell explains, beginning on a positive note. "But at the same time we also have technological failures like the oil spill and it feels a lot like the late 60s and early 70s. While I was too young to understand what we were going through, I've looked back at a lot of footage and newsreels from that era. And now we have issues like our dependency on fossil fuels, which has not proven to be a good thing." "There are issues and people want to talk about them, but we don't want to bring people down," he continued, emphasizing that 'Nothing' is intended to uplift the listener.
"We want to bring people up, make people happy, we're tired of people thinking so much, That's why in the middle of the 'Hot-N-Fun' song, you hear me say, 'People don't wanna think anymore, they just wanna feel, they wanna let go,' for just for a second man. We need some kind of escapism and that's what the 'Nothing' album is about." Some of that escapism will appeal uniquely to the female psyche "in the same way that a Sandra Bullock film would," Pharrell says, but by no means is it intended to be enjoyed only by the fairer sex. "This album is for black, white, gay, straight, tall, skinny, fat, whatever. As long as you have blood in your body, it's for you. It's just for you to listen and escape. While a lot of women hear it and they feel sexy, it's not a sexual album. I'm not saying anything about a girl's body necessarily. The focus is to liberate women and make them feel free and be happy about music and what music does to them." 'Nothing' is currently set for a September 7 release.
It is around 3:30PM and we're in South Beach Studios in Miami Beach, Florida, shooting a music video with Pharrell Williams. Alex Germanotta, the DP of the video and I began talks with VA natives Clipse a little while ago. We wanted to shoot a video off of their album Till The Casket Drops, which features Pharrell, and fellow Virginia native Kenna. To say we were excited would be the biggest understatement ever. Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes, media mogul, fashion icon, soundtrack composer. We had shown up a couple of hours earlier to set up and were doing test shots when we got a call from Pharrell's personal assistant, Mick.

JoJo has stepped out of the spotlight for quite some time, having released her sophomore album The High Road four years ago. Now, the 19-year-old Boston singer is gearing up for the release of her third effort, All I Want Is Everything, to be released at the top of 2011, by putting out a new mixtape titled Can't Take That Away From Me.
The songstress with a soulful voice compiled the new tape using songs she's crafted over the course of a year. Listeners can expect to hear a broad range of topics and sounds on the project. From mainstream pop records to tunes tinged with hip-hop flavor, JoJo dabbled in many genres, including her favorite, which are the soulful records that compliment her voice best. "This mixtape is more experimental," JoJo tells Rap-Up.com.
"I was able to explore the full spectrum of things that interest me and inspire me musically. Whereas the album, I wanted to make pop records and radio hits and things that satisfy me, but particularly for [All I Want Is Everything], it's more of a continuous body of work. The mixtape, I was able to do some things that were more soulful, incorporate live instruments, and say things that I wouldn't normally say on an album. I was just able to take more of a risk. It is all over the place, just like me." While her albums tend to have a cohesive sound and a common thread, the mixtape jumps around in a manner she's content with. As for the title, JoJo explains that its meaning comes from a very personal place. "It was kind of symbolic of some things I have been going through professionally as well as personally," she reveals.
"Starting with the fact that I want to release music and you can't really take what comes naturally to me, away from me." Producer Chad Hugo of The Neptunes, and experimental artist Kenna, joined forces to create several tracks for Can't Take That Away From Me. They're the creators behind "Pretty Please," "Kiss and Tell," and "Shades." Grammy Award-winning beatmaker Neff-U produced the mixtape's title track as well as a song titled "Runnin' on Empty." Then there's J. Gatsby, the musical director behind JoJo's band and the producer of "In the Dark," a record that finds the songstress moving away from that happy-go-lucky sound.
"I think 'In the Dark' is different than anything people have heard from me before," says JoJo. "It's a very sensual record and there's an undertone of sadness to it." All in all, Can't Take That Away From Me is JoJo's re-entry to the music industry. Fans have sat idle waiting for her to drop new material and the time has finally arrived. "I'm interested to see what people think because I am experimenting with sounds," she admits. "My fans' opinions really matter to me so I'm going to be looking to see what they gravitate towards. And of course, I'm a little nervous because I haven't released material in a while. [But] I'm confident that people will dig what I release." Can't Take That Away From Me will premiere exclusively on Rap-Up.com on September 7. "In the Dark," the first single from the mixtape, will also debut here later this month, Thanks to bigmac2098.

Funky American hip-hop collective N*E*R*D were in London earlier this week promoting their fourth studio album entitled Nothing. The band, fronted by the legendary Pharrell Williams, is renowned for making soulful, rock-infused beats, accompanied by intensely catchy, feel-good riffs. i-D Online were invited to an intimate playback session at Present on Shoreditch High Street and caught up with Pharrell and band mate Shay Haley. Go Here to watch the video.
i-D Online: When you begin writing material for a new record, is it a team effort?
Shay Haley: We all throw in ideas. Not one man can manage to put together a montage of N*E*R*D.
Pharrell Williams: Yeah, it's just not possible.
Shay: It's definitely a collaborative effort. There are even people outside of N*E*R*D involved. We come up with the foundations and then have listening sessions to get ideas about what direction we should take certain songs. We all play a part in the creative process.
i-D Online: What flavours can fans expect to hear on this record?
Shay: There were so many inspirations – late 60s, 70s, a little bit of 80s; classic rock, from The Doors to Queen and a few soulful, folk moments. We also have some native tongue on the record too. N*E*R*D are notorious for taking bits and pieces from different eras and mashing them together.
i-D Online: Who are you listening to at the moment?
Shay: I really like MGMT's new album. I've also been playing around with Passion Pit. And of course Drake, I really rate his new album.
'Nothing' is due to be released later this year.
Pharrell Williams, The Human Sampler
Interview Magazine's Collen Nika speaks with Pharrell Williams regarding one of his lesser known but increasingly projects, Bionic Yarn. The material constructed of recycled product made a high-profile debut within Pharrell's recent collaboration with Moncler. The interview seen below details how he stumbled upon Bionic Yarn and the properties and possibilities of the material. A few questions can be seen below with a full look over at Interview Magazine's.
Colleen Nika: How did the Moncler x Bionic Yarn collaboration happen? How did you bring your own design ideal to the brand's noted high-tech sports aesthetic?
Pharrell: I'd been talking with Moncler for a while about doing a collaboration project with them. When they found out about Bionic Yarn we both felt it was a perfect fit for the capsule collection I had in mind. We used a print by Keita Sugiura, a young Japanese artist who was discovered at an art show put on by Takashi Murakami. We wanted to create something new and interesting, and while going through our original samples with Moncler, decided to kick it up a notch by adding the "bullet proof" vest. Like Moncler, a lot of my creative projects are inspired and driven by technology and style. Incorporating Bionic Yarn into the collection I made with Moncler was natural.
Pharrell Williams: Battle Of The Bands & Space Odyssey
I was to talk to and photograph Pharrell Williams at Irving Plaza. It was a 7-Eleven/Slurpee Battle Of The Bands event, and when I mentioned it to my crew, they went nuts. My gal pal, and every female in the clan, all begged to come along. You see, they say, Pharrell is the hottest. I took a real photographer, Tina Vaden, so I didn't have to choose and disappoint, and got there early to catch the battle of the bands. I've been to Irving Plaza a zillion times. It's a great place for a thousand people to see an act. Sound and sightlines, reasonably priced drinks, and diverse bookings have kept the place relevant for decades.
We got our sugar rush on, ready to meet Pharrell. He's everywhere: new albums and the music for Despicable Me. Girls die for him, men respect him, and here he was, doing a good deed. The PR dude told me: "On the concrete side, Pharrell told us when he started working with the brand, that they entered this partnership with 7-Eleven because (in addition to the money) they care about helping out young bands. Pharrell even sacrificed most of his standard ticket price at the show for the cause—each ticket was just $7.11. N*E*R*D also wanted their fans to know there was a legit reason why a bigger band didn't open up for them that night, and that was because they were showing support for the up-and-comers."
Here is a preview of Alyssa's first single Cali, Cali, Cali which will be released on iTunes on August 24th.

Demand for firewood begins to soar
Prices rise as dealers and consumers face higher fuel and home-heating bills
Firewood sales are stacking up as more people turn to the natural fuel in hopes that it will offset their winter heating bills.
But in some cases, firewood prices also have increased about 30% with the higher demand and higher harvesting costs.
There could be firewood shortages this fall, something which doesn't happen often.
"Half of our inventory is already gone," said Mark Mainka, co-owner of Firewood Farm in Pewaukee.
In the Milwaukee area, a cord of mixed hardwoods is selling for about $275. A cord of white oak can cost more than $350.
Some area firewood dealers say they've already raised prices for this fall, while others say further price increases are coming.
Higher harvesting costs, including fuel for trucks, chainsaws and wood splitters, are partly to blame. It takes about 18 gallons of fuel, for example, to process and deliver a cord of wood.
"Wood itself is cheap. You can buy it for virtually nothing on the stump. But every aspect of processing firewood involves fuel and labor, and the price of fuel is just killing this industry," said David Haug, owner of Wisconsin Firewood Company in Milwaukee.
Firewood demand is hot because more people are turning to stoves that burn wood, coal or wood pellets. It's reminiscent of the 1980s when the price of home heating oil soared and consumers turned to alternative fuels.
A cord of wood — a tight stack 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8 feet long — has about the same heating potential as 155 gallons of heating oil. So even at $300 a cord, wood is still a bargain compared with 155 gallons of heating oil costing $571.95 — based on a current price of $3.69 per gallon.
"I think everybody who has been buying wood from me lately is very aware of what kind they're getting and how much heat it produces, more so than ever," Haug said.
While most heating-oil customers aren't abandoning that fuel altogether, they're seriously eyeing alternatives to supplement their heat this winter. Wood-stove sales began heating up earlier in the year even as consumers reduced other household purchases to cope with rising inflation and worries about the economy.
More people are turning to fireplace inserts that capture heat that normally goes up the chimney.
The increased interest in fireplace inserts has been noticeable this year, said Edward Wachuta, a sales associate with The Fire Place store in Milwaukee.
Demand for the inserts is up nationwide, especially in the Northeast, where home heating bills are higher than in other parts of the country.
"We are having a tough time getting inserts because this is a national issue and there are only so many manufacturers," Wachuta said.
As wood supplies also dwindle, prices are expected to jump again
But some firewood dealers say they're worried about consumers not being able to afford wood this year, or not paying their bills.
Already, a few customers haven't paid for their deliveries, said Bob Wiza with Wiza's Firewood and Mulch, in Rubicon.
"These are good people. I know they will pay, but I don't know when," he said.
Wiza has been selling firewood in Wisconsin and Illinois since 1984. This year he raised his prices about 30% to keep pace with rising costs.
But profits are down, Wiza said.
"I had more money in my pocket from selling wood 10 years ago than I do today," he said.
If you don't mind the hassle of cutting your own wood and lugging it out of the forest, some parks and private land owners might be a resource for downed trees and fallen tree limbs.
"It helps clean up the forests, and you can get some free fuel," Wachuta said.

Hey all,
My band director recently told me that I needed to work on my tone. I know of long tones and lip bends, but that is all. I was wondering if anyone had any other daily exercises to improve my tone. Thanks for your responses!
Hey all,
My band director recently told me that I needed to work on my tone. I know of long tones and lip bends, but that is all. I was wondering if anyone had any other daily exercises to improve my tone. Thanks for your responses!
Any note you play should be accurate as to sound and that is what is meant by tone. I would tell you to practice with a tuner, but that first takes a little understanding if you are playing a Bb trumpet. Tuners recognize notes as if they were played by a piano or other C instrument. For verbal instruction a C note as recognized by the tuner would be a D as played by a Bb trumpet or two half steps higher. I say two half steps instead of a whole step to direct you to look for a sharp, as in the example I've given there is a C# sharp note which is the half step between a C note and a D note. Thereby, when you play a D note on Bb trumpet it registers as a C on the tuner. Good portable tuners cost about $35 to $40 new and are highly recommended for those who are learning. My own is a Seiko brand, but that doesn't mean there aren't others just as good. Now you should not need a tuner to tell me what the tuner will read when you play a third line Bb on your Bb trumpet. Reply with your answer.
Too, it would help all here on TM to help you, if you would tell us exactly what grade you are in and how long you've been playing.
Finally, it is my opinion that playing notes accurately is the most important phase in learning to play any instrument. For a brass instrument learn the fingering recommended for each note and just begin to play each slowly and do the best you can. Increased speed will come in time as you learn more and become much more familiar with your instrument and mouthpiece.
We all know that at first accuracy is evasive, and some notes just don't want to be played accurately at first. As you progress you'll eventually learn about "lipping" and "valve slide adustments". There just isn't an exercise that provides "instant success".

I thought when people referred to "tone" they were referring to the quality of the sound and not so much the tuning. When I've warmed up on some long tones and some lip-setting range exercises I get to what I call my good sound which is 5 or 10 minutes after my not good sound.
In my warmed-up state I am then in a position to better work on the "sound quality" I hear when I'm playing - and I usually record myself so I can hear better what my audience hears. Also, I almost self-consciously talk my thoughts on a phrase/tone/passage/whatever out loud which helps when I play the recording back (starting by stating which horn/mouthpiece I'm using, sometimes saying what my practice goal is, and if something "happens" (bad or good) then I try to remember to talk out at that point). That's what I do to work on tone - hope that helps.
Some guys (and girls) I've played with seemed not to care about the quality of sound they produced and just banged through whatever they were reading, seeming oblivious to this. (Their phrasing/timing was usually a bit off too.) The band directors (those that cared) tried to get the message back to them but with mixed response. I never understood why these people played in these (mainly) community brass bands, except perhaps for the social aspects.

Using a tuner will not help you. It's not what you need. Anyway unless you play with a good basic sound you can't play in tune.

Bob, while I agree with you that the proper usage of air is priority, but without a target to know when you attain accurate tone I must disagree, and why I recommend a tuner.
Still, the first element is to establish lip vibration to carry the air into the instrument as to create resonance. Seemingly the OP has read of "lip bends", but I am doubtful if he can yet utilize the same to improve his tonation. Yes, I know lip vibration is not initially constant until the facial muscles are strengthened to support this lip vibration and this is achieved only by diligent practice, or repetition if we must call it that. Such is my starting point with any sound emanating whether it be a note or not.

Dividend cuts lift pressure on mainland banks
Related topics
Leading mainland banks were unlikely to resort to issuing new shares or debts to raise money this year, international rating agency Moody's predicted yesterday.
Christine Kuo, senior credit officer for financial institutions at Moody's, said the recent cut in dividend payments would save them from raising capital on a 'massive' scale.
The cut was initiated by state-controlled Central Huijin Investment, a major shareholder of major banks in China.
It announced that Bank of China, China Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China would cut dividends by 5 points to 35 per cent of 2011 profits, while maintaining the ratio at 35 per cent for Agricultural Bank of China.
'We see it as a more efficient way to address their capital needs,' Kuo said. 'The more money they retain, the less they will have to go out to the market.'
Beijing is allowing major lenders to increase new loans 5 per cent in the first quarter to help cash-strapped private businesses at home.
The market has interpreted this as a sign of reversing its credit tightening policy.
Michael Buchanan, chief economist for the Asia Ex-Japan region at Goldman Sachs, estimated that loan growth on the mainland was less than 1.1 trillion yuan last month.
He said there was still room for the mainland to further increase loan growth this year, although the total credit to gross domestic product ratio had climbed steadily from 151 per cent in 2008 to 194 per cent last year.
Buchanan also expected Beijing to cut the amount banks must keep in reserve - the reserve requirement ratio - twice, by 50 basis points each time, but said an interest rate cut was unlikely.
But Andrew Colquhoun, head of Asia-Pacific sovereign debt at Fitch, said China already had 'too much investment'. Total banking system credit was more than US$10 trillion, more than the total of Brazil, Korea, India, Russia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, South Africa and Malaysia combined, Fitch estimated.
Colquhoun also predicted mainland economic growth would 'disappoint' the market given the slowdown in the property and construction sectors and would fall below the consensus range of 8 per cent as a result of cooling measures.
The mainland's reserve requirement ratio is this much.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Sweden do not have one

Have you met Disney's newest characters yet? I'm talking about Chrona and the Inklings from the new game Disney Hidden Worlds in which players can use their imagination to recreate the amazing story worlds of The Little Mermaid, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and more of your favorite Disney films. That's right, all you need is imagination! Also, Internet access.
Here's what happened: Chrona discovered the world of the Inklings, who are fun and somewhat mischievous, and can make anything out of imagination, which is nice. Together they created a collection of incredible kingdoms inspired by the Disney stories we all know and love, because, why wouldn't they? So far, so good. However, when Chrona's imagination gets a bit carried away the Inklings design a villain, who, in true villain form, wants to ruin everything. You know how villains are.
This is where you come in. Apparently the villain spreads darkness over the Disney kingdoms, as one does, and in the process a number of important objects conveniently "disappear" from each story. Sound like someone should check the villain's pockets.
Chrona and the players (that's you!) then have to search for said objects, use a bit of imagination for good, and get the Disney characters back on track for the "happily ever after" they were trying to enjoy before things got all whacky. It happens.
Take a look:
Disney Hidden Worlds can be downloaded for free on Apple and Android devices as well as Facebook. Don't worry, you can connect your progress across multiple devices.
Play Disney Hidden Worlds today and let's get our happily ever after going again. I think we all deserve it!

One of the larger holiday resorts, Marmaris is probably the most European of the Turkish resort towns on the Mediterranean coast, and a bustling cosmopolitan tourist centre in the summer months. Marmaris also marks the start of the Turquoise Coast along the Mediterranean Sea. Built around an extensive natural bay at the foot of forested mountain slopes, the town is the best base for some of the finest sailing on the Mediterranean, with a modern marina catering for private yachts and the Blue Voyage holiday cruise business. According to legend the town got its name when, not finding the castle he had commissioned on the hill to his liking, Süleyman the Magnificent muttered 'Mimari as' ('Hang the architect!').
Resort Rating
Holidaymakers who prefer to spend their beach time being active will be spoilt for choice at Marmaris where dozens of watersports operators service the sea front, offering everything from banana boat rides and paragliding to jet-skiing and scuba diving, all at very reasonable prices (which can usually be bargained down even more). The local Atlantis waterpark is a must for families. Those who want to sightsee or explore can choose from a variety of excursions, including guided horse safaris through the countryside or jeep safaris to visit nearby country villages, with visits to verdant untouched forests where crystal waterfalls beckon one to have a dip. The ancient site of Ephesus and the spring waters of Pamukkale are also popular outings, as are a variety of boat trips, including the nearby Greek island of Rhodes.
Whether you want to go international, or try local fare at a 'lokanta' (Turkish restaurant), Marmaris' hundreds of dining establishments will have something to suit any holidaymakers' appetite and any pocket. You'll find fish 'n chips if that's your bag, good Chinese, satisfying German or the ubiquitous Italian. Visitors should not balk at sampling Turkish delights, however, particularly popular doner kebabs and seafood meze platters.
Marmaris' wild nights are centred on Bar Street around the waterfront, packed with nearly one hundred nightclubs and bars that rock until about 4am, attracting hundreds of holidaymakers. Although the atmosphere is fun, be aware that the price of drinks in Bar Street is significantly higher than other parts of town. Many restaurants stay open all night to cater for early morning revellers.
To enjoy shopping in Marmaris, holiday visitors need to be clued up and prepared. Vendors, particularly in the bazaars, can be annoying with their touting (although this is illegal), and there are a large number of fake designer goods on sale. If you fancy a bargain-priced Rolex watch, be prepared for it to be fake, although this does not mean it is not worth buying because in Turkey fakes are good quality! Prices are very cheap, and everywhere, except in the larger stores, haggling is expected and it is possible to knock about 30 percent off the asking price. Bearing all this in mind Marmaris can be a shopper's delight, particularly for items like leather, ceramics, jewellery and carpets. Best value goods are to be found in the Carsi Market in the Ottoman Castle, where 200-odd shops and a flea market are open seven days a week. The Thursday market is a colourful experience where locals sell fruit, vegetables, fabric and clothing. Netsel Marina is a good place to find original designer clothing. 'Caam Ball', a locally-produced pine-scented honey, is a popular souvenir. Duty free goods are also on offer.
Touts for everything from restaurants to excursions and souvenir stalls can be annoying in Marmaris. Many have also reported on various tourist rip-offs, and visitors should be alert. The summer months can be incredibly crowded, swelling the town population from around 28,000 to nearly 250,000.

Probe Launched Into Cause of Fire
POWHATAN POINT – A representative of the fire marshal's office and possibly an insurance adjuster were expected to be on the scene today to determine the cause of a fire that extensively damaged the Powhatan Point street garage and destroyed some equipment early Saturday morning.
Powhatan and Shadyside firefighters battled the blaze, which was reported Saturday at about 12:46 a.m. by a person residing in that neighborhood, according to Mayor Mark McVey.
McVey said the fire is believed to have started in about the middle of the building, located at 151 Main St.
A Massey Ferguson tractor and a brush hog used to maintain the ballfield and to grade alleys were destroyed.
Push mowers, weed-cutters, blowers, welders and other small equipment as well as public records such as tickets were pretty much destroyed, according to the mayor.
It was possible to remove two pick-up trucks and two riding mowers from the building, but officials were told that they might not be able to put them on the road because of safety factors as the heat of the flames may have affected the wiring in the vehicles. McVey said the two riding mowers were purchased a couple of years ago for $14,000.
Although the cause of the blaze had not been officially determined as of early today, "we think it's electrical," said McVey, who indicated the fire marshal probably would pinpoint the cause this morning. He added the building had been all locked up.
Firefighters were still on the scene until about 3:30 a.m. The mayor, who also was on the scene of the fire, said, "I was very pleased and proud of both fire departments in answering the call in such a quick manner. They coordinated everything efficiently and put the fire under very quickly." He added that their "quick response probably saved that building and everything in it from being a total loss."

From what I've learnt from the teachings of Aikido I have developed this philosphy of "The Circle of Yin and Yang". Yin and Yang representing our ups and downs, opposites etc in life and the circle representing the only thing perfect in our lifes. Thus representing neverending life on earth and beyond. I like to hear other people's philosphy on life. If you want to know more about what I am saying respond plz.
I personally think the yin and yang applies very well to aikido. Yin and Yang or Uke and Nage or Evil and Good. In a world full of "Evil" Aikido can be used to equal and counter all the Evil with good. With both evil and good or uke and nage the world will become balanced.
going on this:
This is like the theory (if you'll call it that?) of Katsujinken, Satsujinto... even Aikido can be used for wrongful purposes... the yin becoming yang, I suppose...
in and yang is the chinese symbol for harmony right?
aikido is harmony
when practicing or living according to aikido - you become yin-yang
then you dont need the yinyang symbol
people will feel that you are in harmony
Yes, interestingly enough Aikido has been used for evil purposes. Look at Steven Seagal :). Yin and yang is basically I feel revolves around my life. Whenever you have a lucky day it will end up miserable in the future. Or vice versa. Somehow this has always happend to me. And I felt that my life was repeating. Sort of a dejavu thing going on. Circle perhaps?
yin and yang only exist because of our view that there is a dichotomy -
I don't believe this dichotomy exists
how exactly is steven seagal using aikido for evil purposes?
I agree Sean,
In fact I'm actually writing from the grave (or have I been born yet?)
Re: Philosphy
Ian, if by "I" you mean your ego, then you're between birth and death, in the time-bound sense. If by "I" you mean the field of Unified Awareness, then "you're" beyond birth and death. ;)
Yin is the yielding force, Yang is the action force, but neither could exist without the other. Aikido, in my opinion, is a beautiful metaphor for this- The actual power within it is from it's synergy (a condition where the total is more than the sum of it's separate parts) and not from any of it's individual components.
When Uke pushes, pulls or strikes and Shite/Nage turns, blends or receives, it's Yang/Yin. As we know, this exchange can also be reversed in different waza. But the exchange is still :ai: :ki: :do: .
Re: Philosphy
Why Good-Evil and not good-bad?
(I'm asking, because lately Nietzsche doensn't seem to post here very often.)
Re: Philosophy
Yeah, Lao Tzu was posting for awhile, but some of the local idiots ran him off. :rolleyes:
Re: Philosphy
Yes, yin and yang, opposites. I've read that in books on Aikido Philisophy. I'm quite amazed when I think of them. Good and Bad, Clean and Dirty, Nage and Uke, etc. . Without their respective counterparts, its boring isn't it? Yin and Yang, with one of them missing, the circle would not be complete, right? :)

CHICAGO – Tony Campana is expected to be recalled when rosters expand a week from Sunday, but moves might be limited.
"Most of them are here anyway," manager Dale Sveum said. "There are some guys who are coming back from injuries that we still want to take looks at as well."
That would suggest that left-handed reliever Blake Parker is a candidate to be called up. Other pitchers that could be on their way back to Chicago are Jeff Beliveau, Scott Maine and, of course, Chris Rusin. There is also right-hander Miguel Socolovich, whom the Cubs claimed off waivers from the Orioles on Friday.
Rafael Dolis and Casey Coleman have both been on the minor-league disabled list for a few weeks and it is unknown if either would be ready to return for the final month.
And then there is the question of whether or not the Cubs would be willing to bring up shortstop Junior Lake from Double-A Tennessee. Sveum has mentioned him in passing so his name will clearly be discussed.
It doesn't seem as if the Cubs will be bringing everybody form the above list, though.
"The way the roster is and everything I don't know how many we will (call up)," Sveum said. "I don't think it will be an overwhelming amount, but just enough to help us in September to where we can do things roster-wise during a game and pinch hit three or four pitchers to help out and all that stuff. We're not going to bring 15 guys up or anything like that."

It is usually commonly held that you become a citizen on the basis of the following grounds; you were born in a particular region, you acquire the citizenship status of either or both of your parents, you marry a citizen of the region or over time, you become a naturalised citizen. These are fairly standard and are the most popular forms.
At least they were until recent times. Presently, there is the option of becoming a citizen by way of investment. A rather alluring phenomenon for the wealthy who generally are the ones who are able to afford to do so and who by the way, are opting to do so because it less of a hassle than going the traditional route.

I am trying to run the PSS+Pnoise to get the linewidth of the VCO.I have set the Pnoise option "augmented=yes" for PSS+Pnoise oscillator simulations.Nevertheless, I cannot get the Lorentzian plot, the phase noise still goes up and becomes larger than 0 dBc at low frequencies.The logfile says:"Compute Floquet mode for autonomous ciruits... ...". It seems the simulator does not use frequency-aware PPV method.
Is there anything wrong in my setting?By the way, the MMSIM version I use is 7.2ISR7
The augmented parameter really has nothing to do with producing a Lorentzian plot. It is to enable an improvement in the PPV method to handle long time constants (often in the bias circuitry) which result in a hump in the phase noise transfer function. In fact from MMSIM72 ISR3 onwards augmented=yes by default in both shooting and HB pnoise.
In earlier versions, when augmented=yes was turned on, it also enabled (for HB only) the calculation of the "line width" and computation of the Lorentzian (i.e. nonlinear) noise shape near the carrier. This was misleading because it was independent of the augmented algorithm, and also was doing it only for HB and not for shooting.
What we did from MMSIM72 ISR4 onwards was to introduce a new parameter "lorentzian" on pnoise and hbnoise:
43 lorentzian=cornerfreqonly This option determines if the Lorentzian plot is used in the oscillator noise analysis. Possible values are no, cornerfreqonly or yes.
The default is just to compute the corner frequency (i.e. the line width), and to get the Lorentzian shape curve you need to set it to "yes".
In reply to Andrew Beckett:
Hi Andrew,
Thank you very much for your response, but I cannot find the parameter "lorentzian" on pnoise and hbnoise.Is it a check box or I have to type it in the additional parameter?Besides, I saw a message in the output log file saying "pnoise 'lorentzain' is not a valid parameter for an instance of 'pnoise'. Ignored"What does it mean?However, after I run the pnosie simulation, the simulation result still shows the line width.I am very confused why it can still compute the line width and if it is a correct result.
In reply to ycyang:
Hi Ycyang,
Recent enough versions of the ADE environment would show lorentzian on the options form. In older versions you would just need to type:
in the "Additional Parameters" field on the pnoise/hbnoise options form.
Given the message you described had a typo in it, I don't know what exactly you tried - maybe if this doesn't work you can post both the analysis statements (cut and pasted, rather than transcribed) and the complete spectre.out file (as an attachment; go to the Options Tab when you reply to the post).
Thanks again for your help.I did check the option tab but cannot find "Lorentzian", so I just type "lorentzian=yes" in the Addtional Parameters field.The attched file is the spectre.out file which still shows 'lorentzian' is not a valid parameter for an instance of 'pnoise'. Ignored"Even though, the simulated phase noise has a Lorentzian noise shape near the carrier (I do not know how to insert image yet and cannot post it). Thus I wonder if the result is correct or not.Regards,
Hi ycyang,
Looking at the log file, I see you're using MMSIM 126.96.36.199 . That is the base version of MMSIM72 and is not ISR7 that you mentioned earlier. That is before the ISR4 version I mentioned earlier. Before we introduced the lorentzian parameter, when augmented was yes (which was not "yes" by default before ISR3, although the augmented algorithm was enabled always for HB), it also plotted with the Lorentzian shape. It should be correct.
However, I would probably advise moving to a later version than the one you're using, because at the very least this linkage of the Lorentzian shape with the augmented switch is confusing, to say the least (which is why we sorted it out in ISR4).
I'm a bit confused because initially you said you couldn't get the Lorentzian plot, and now you're saying that you are getting it - and this is nothing to do with the lorentzian parameter you've added, since you're using a version prior to that parameter being supported. I suspect your earlier run was done without augmented being set to yes?
Hi Andrew
I found I used wrong version of MMSIM after reading your reply. After switching to a later version, the warning message disappeared.As for the problem that I could not get the Loretzain plot in the beginning, I am sure that the option "augmented" was set to yes. I don't know why the Lorentzain didn't show. I will discuss this with our CAD engineer.Thank you very much for you assistance.

Today I set off with the hope of reaching Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania, but with no idea if it would be possible or not. Firstly, I didn't know how you got there.

And then, I didn't know whether if being successful at getting into the country, there would be transport onwards from the border. It was afterall the Islamic ...

data center economizer
In data center terminology an air economizer is part of the data center cooling infrastructure. An air economizer can reduce data center power consumption by leveraging cooler outdoor air temperatures to cool the hardware and facility.
In a typical scenario, air economizers draw in cool air from outside and expel hot air (generated inside the facility) outdoors, instead of cooling and recirculating the hot air from servers. Water economizers can also be used to remove heat from the chilled water loop by a heat exchange process with outdoor air.
According to The Green Grid (TGG), an international, non-profit consortium working to enhance data center resource efficiency, there are two main economizer technologies commonly used in data centers:

During a routine naval drill at Pearl Harbor, American forces detect a ship of unknown origins that's crashed in the Pacific Ocean. Lieutenant Alex Hopper, an officer aboard the USS John Paul Jones, is ordered to investigate the ominous-looking vessel—which turns out to be part of an armada of ships that are stronger and faster than any on Earth. And that's when the Navy's radar goes down. Ambushed by a ravenous enemy they cannot see, a small U.S. fleet makes their last stand on the open ocean, armed with little more than their instincts, to defend their lives—and the world as we know it.
