- Professor of Economics and Mathematics, Donna and David Janes Endowed Chair in Experimental Economics. Dr. Porter utilizes experimental methods in economics to design, develop, test and implement new and complex market systems. He was the principle architect of the Cassini Resource Exchange that made resource trading possible on the Cassini mission to Saturn. Dr. Porter also helped develop the Sears Logistic Auction for allocating truckload traffic, the Automated Credit Exchange for trading pollution permits, the Commonwealth of Virginia's new source credit auction for NoX emissions and BondConnect, which facilitates portfolio trades of various bond classes. Dr. Porter has designed and developed combinatorial markets that enable the efficient trading of packaged commodities. He also uses experiments to examine price formation in asset markets, including bubbles and the microstructure of asset markets and its affect on price dynamics.

I set out from Bohinj to Kobarid, following my usual tactic of navigating by town names. The road wound up and down a mountain, and somewhere on the up side, I took a wrong turn. I'm not exactly sure when or how it happened, or precisely where I ended up, but at some point the road turned to gravel, and I stopped seeing town names I could find on the map. The only town I recognized was Škofja Loka, so I started following the signs for that.
Other than being lost, it wasn't a bad drive
Luckily, by that time I had started seeing town names I could find on my map, so I was fairly confident I would know where I was shortly. I popped out in the town of Zelezniki. I was back on a main road, but maybe 10 km east of where I had intended to meet-up with that road. On the plus side, Zelezniki looked like a nice town. There seemed to have been a lot of recent development. I would recommend checking it out if you're looking for Slovenian mountain real-estate.
Thinking back, the problem may have been that I stayed on paved road too long. There was a point where the path forked, and I chose the paved road over the gravel route. On my maps and in my road atlas, the road I was trying to take is the same width and color as paved roads, but I think that may be inaccurate
The rest of the trip went smoothly. It was a scenic drive through a mountain valley, running alongside a river. When I hit the Soča river, the water turned the deep cyan some mountain rivers get. I followed that river north to Kobarid.
Kobarid is a small town located near the Soča river. That river was an important line of the Isonzo front separating Austrian forces from Italian during WWI. The setting is said to have inspired Ernest Hemingway when writing "A Farewell to Arms", and was the scene of the pivotal 12th Battle of Isonzo (and maybe a few of the other less-pivotal 11), when German and Austro-Hungarian troops finally broke the Italian line. Although the Italians forces were driven out of the area and back into Italy, the part of Slovenia containing Kobarid was awarded to soon-to-be-fascist Italy at the end of WWI.
There was a small museum in the town, which focuses mainly on the WWI history of the area, although it did have a room or two dealing with Roman and late Antiquity settlements near the town
The Kobarid Historical Trail was a 5km loop through the hills above the town. Part of it ran past ruins of Kobarid's late Antiquity past, part of it ran through WWI Italian defensive works, as one of the Walks of Peace (Pot Miru), and pretty much all of it ran next to the Soča river. It had everything I like in a hike: monuments, ruins, historical locations, a waterfall, a river, bridges and caves. (Actually, I don't like caves. I'm into staying out of caves, lest I get attacked by rabid bats in a foriegn country or any country for that matter.)
I would say it was my favorite hike of the trip thus far, especially given it was the first hike with good weather, and I have a hard time imagining what could top it. The difficulty of the route was between that of my two hikes from the previous day. It was well marked up until the very end, but you could follow it easily using the tourist map, even when the signposts mysteriously disappeared. I was going to write about the highlights, but first I typed "the highlight was...", and then deleted that and typed "the two highlights were...", then "three", etc. So instead of writing about everything I liked, you can just check-out the pictures and assume if there's a picture of it, I liked it
Two stops do merrit a little discussion, though. The first is the "Italian Charnel House" or ossuary. Because the Italians controlled the area up through WWII, and the defeat at Isonzo battle had a big impact on the psyche of their country, the bones of their soldiers were collected from smaller graveyards and monuments in the area and assembled into a single massive monument perched on the hill above Kobarid. It was opened by Mussolini in 1938. It consists of three levels inscribed with the names and ranks of the known Italian soldiers, crowned with a small church at the top.
Flipping through the guest book, some of the visitors wanted to read an expression of "the tradgey of war" into the monument and church, but I didn't get that impression at all. It was erected by facist Italy between the wars. The ranks and important medals awarded to the soldiers were inscribed next to the names. With pillaging having gone out of style, medals and rank are the spoils of war for the modern soldier. I believe including those details was meant to inspire visiting fascists, with dreams of medals and glorious death in the name of Il Duce. Maybe their names would be inscribed on a monument for future generations to see. Plus, even the murals in the church had something of an ominous, not entirely peaceful, tone if you stopped to look at them
But then, back to nature. Nature is happy, unless it's a rabid bat or icky spider. Other than scenic views of the river, the big "nature" spot of the trail was the Kozjak Waterfall (Slap Kozjak). It seems like every hike I take ends-up involving waterfalls at some point. I've become quite the connoisseur. This waterfall was not terribly high, and it didn't have a large volume of water, but it was excellent. It was hidden back in an enchanting grotto where it fell down into a wonderfully cyan pond. It was on a path off the main circle of the hike, and I was starting to get a little tired at that point, but I'm glad I went down to see it.
All in all, it was a nice bit of hiking to end on. Tomorrow I will be leaving the Julian Alps and heading towards Slovenia's little piece of the Mediterranean. I shouldn't have any more hikes in my future for a week or two. Just some (hopefully) sunny seashore.

Once again a great addition to an already great website/database, thanks alot for that!
Longeria--please email with a link to the affected profile and a screenshot of what appears when you go to remove the opposite-faction mounts.
Hi, dear wowhead: Your site is my favorite since this is the only wow site that is "usable"!I'd like to know if this collection feature can be used on foreign(Taiwan etc) servers, cause I'm the player there..This is my character, for example:http://tw.battle.net/wow/zh/character/%E9%98%BF%E8%96%A9%E6%96%AF/Venue/simpleThe server name are Chinese letters(encoded in big-5, or it's unicode I dunno). Except of that, the format is basically the same as US/EU one.I don't know if the Blizzard APIs are the same here, but I really wish I can use this awesome feature!Looking forward for your reply! :)
Mount, pet, and recipe tracking should show up on item tooltips and quick facts now. If over 10% of item search results can be collected, a special completion column with a checkbox now shows up as well. So if you were searching for 'tiger' you wouldn't see a completion column in results because there's so many random gem results, but you would see completion detail when you moused over mounts that were tigers. If you searched for something more specific like 'riding tiger' where all the results are mounts, a completion column would show up too.
I just imported my character (Kyzera@Bloodscalp-US) and it only shows her having 151 mounts when it should be 153. It seems her Felsteed & Dreadsteed mounts are not included in the list. Is this intentional?Also, curious as to why temporary mounts (Flying Broom, Swift Flying Broom, Magic Broom, Rampaging Yak, Kafa-Crazed Goat) are included in the list. If it was intentional that they should be included, shouldn't Shimmering Moonstone also be added?So far (aside from the mount issue) it seems like a great tool. Look forward to using it more.
It's just the way we get the data from Blizzard. Those temporary mount spells show up automatically--we included them in the 'not available' exclusion filter for now if you want to hide them. My guess would be that the spells for Moonfang, Felsteed, and Dreadsteed aren't categorized as mounts for various reasons, and that's why they're not showing up in the tab.We added an improvement to the Include/Exclude feature where if you want to include an item that's in the Not Counted filter, it now works.
Flippin' love this tracking/pinning profiles business. It is so helpful and convenient. Thank you guys so much!
Your character needs to be at least level 10 for the battle.net to create it's profile that wowhead can sync to.
It would be nice if you could implement a way to exclude collected battle pets by quality: since I'm only interested in blue pets, knowing that I already have one particular battle pet is not enough to know where I need to go to catch my rare one. Anyway, thanks a lot for the feature, it's very much welcome.
Now I have even less reason to use other websites. Thanks WoWHEAD!No, I am not joking. I can't stand the layout of us.battle.net info for this info. Your site is totally functional, with additional information including completed pet levels (ie. pets at 25, pets lower than that etc.) and without unnecessary bells and whistles (think GIANT pics of your that auto pop up when you drag your mouse over and no way to cancel them).So, I reiterate...Thanks WoWHEAD!
still waiting to be able to use this feature come on blizzard please be nice =(
this is absolutely fantastic! thank you so much wowhead :)

We'll apologise now if you're feeling a little jaded by the netbook craze, though whether it qualifies as a craze anymore is up for debate. Despite Asus' best efforts the endless slew of new Eee PC models and configurations has probably served more to annoy customers, rather than excite them, while new announcements from the likes of Lenovo have generated rather less buzz than in the early days. Only Dell's hand is yet to be played fully, but even that saga is feeling a little tired.
Hollow complaints aside, we're returning to familiar territory today because we're looking at the Asus Eee PC 1000H, the Windows XP version of the Eee PC 1000 that we've already reviewed in its Linux form. When we originally reviewed the 1000 we found that, though a useful addition to Eee PC stable, the Linux version was, with its 40GB SSD, just a little too expensive to recommend - noting that the 80GB Windows version was cheaper and had more storage space. So bearing this in mind, will this version fare any better?
Before we get onto that, it's good idea to remind ourselves what the Eee PC 1000 is all about. Fundamentally it's very similar to the Eee PC 901 that preceded it and which is still our favoured version notwithstanding the cramped keyboard. It features the same basic chipset and spec, including a 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU, 1GB, Draft-N Wi-Fi and a multi-touch capable touch pad. It also has the same six-cell 6,600 mAh battery.
What it adds is a larger 10in, 1,024 x 600 screen and with it a larger chassis with a roomier keyboard. This makes it a more effective competitor for the likes of the MSI Wind and HP Mini-Note 2133 and a lot easier to use for adults with large hands. In addition to this, the Windows version exchanges the 40GB SSD of the Linux version for an 80GB mechanical drive and also adds support for Dolby Sound Room audio, which includes the rather excellent Dolby Headphone technology.
It also adds weight. Thanks to the larger chassis and battery the Eee PC 1000 was already heavier than its kin, weighing 1.3kg, but the 1000H pushes this up to 1.45kg. It's quite a significant step up and though we previously felt this was just about acceptable, truth be told we're no so sure now. As has been observed many times before, we're beginning to creep far too close to regular laptop territory here and though the six-cell battery still accounts for much of this increase, the difference 150 grams makes is quite marked. It simply doesn't feel as comfortably portable as before and compared the Eee PC 901 it's a bit of a beast.
Exactly how many Eee-PC SKU's ARE there currently? My channel distributor lists fourteen at present, though this probably isn't fully up-to-date...
I have this model since early last week and the least I can say is that I very pleased with it. I placed a 2GB RAM module, uninstalled half of the Asus factory freeware and replaced it with Office 2007 and google Desktop. It is very usable and still feels snappy enough for serious productive work during my daily train commute. It is so small and so quick to wake up that I even use it in the bus when I have to finish things up.
as long as it means i can play worms armageddon, then i suppose i'd be happy with the xp edition of the machine. wish the screen res was higher, though...
bring on the 12 inch model?
What's the weight of the power supply? When you are travelling its the total weight that's important. I've heard that Asus power supplies are lighter than Acer. Is this true?
i have two say i wish they would keep the orginal design that the 900 had i love it design hum?
it's nicely small, portable and worthy the award.. sadly the size of keyborad is disappointing...

Inzy not a happy captain
Page Tools
Inzamam-ul-Haq is unsure whether to step down as Pakistan skipper.
Photo: AP
Pakistan's calamitous cricket tour of Australia has pushed its enigmatic skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq to the point where he may stand down from the job. Inzamam's revelation comes after another week of turmoil in the tourists' camp after a rape allegation was made against a Pakistani player.
"I am uncertain about it," Inzamam said when asked if he wanted to continue as captain. "There's been a lot of criticism in Pakistan about me. In Pakistan they are always so critical of the captain.
"I am not feeling good on the inside and I am not sure whether it is something I want to keep doing."
Pakistan's captain has had his fair share of difficulties to deal with on this tour. A back injury kept him out of the second and third Tests, he has grappled with indifferent personal form, been at the helm of a young yet underachieving side, his team received a written warning from the Pakistan Cricket Board, and there have been various off-field distractions.
Inzamam said he was on a six- month contract with the cricket board and would decide after the team's tour of the West Indies whether the captaincy was short or long term.
"This has been the hardest tour I have been on," he said. "The Australian tour is always hard. The conditions are different and Australia is the best team in the world. But this tour has been harder than normal, especially for me."
While firebrand pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar has worn much of the criticism for Pakistan's poor performances this tour, Inzamam has also copped a considerable slice of the blame.
After the third Test in Sydney, former Pakistan captain Imran Khan called his countrymen "spineless", questioned Inzamam's decision not to play through the pain of his back injury and called for batsman Younis Khan to be given the captaincy.
"I don't know why he (Imran) is doing this and saying these things," Inzamam said. "It is disappointing. It's not good for me and not good for the young boys in the team. Criticism is OK. But I don't think the performances have been that bad."
Inzamam often appears so laidback he could fall asleep in the field at any time. There was a noticeable difference in the team's body language during the final two Tests when the more lively Yousuf Youhana was at the helm.
Still, Inzamam insists he is not sending the wrong message to the younger members of the team. "I'm not a very talkative man," he said. "My nature is that I am not very talkative and enthusiastic.
"When I'm in the field, I'm trying hard. I'm a quiet person. People think I'm too quiet. But I'm not.
"As a group we have faced a lot of problems. It's good to be relaxed and calm enough to get over it. I softly handle these things."
On the field, there are signs Pakistan and Inzamam's fortunes are changing. Inzamam's improving back injury is starting to show on the scoreboard. He knocked up 68 from 87 balls in the four-wicket loss to Australia in Hobart, then a blistering unbeaten 62 from 51 deliveries in the six-wicket victory over the West Indies in Brisbane.
Finishing this tour with an unexpected victory in the tri-series could swing Inzamam towards staying on as captain. "We've had a hard time in the last five or six weeks," he said. "This is a chance to get something out of the tour."

Is the poem "Annabel Lee" a work of power, originality, or individuality?
1 Answer | Add Yours
More than anything, this poem represents the struggles of power in relationships of the heart. The young couple in the poem are doomed from day one. They are criticized when young for being too young - the adults are superior to them and limit their power. They are doomed as adults by the social classes, which limit them because of their different stations. Finally, they are doomed by the jealousy of the angels, who steal the beautiful Annabel Lee from her lover because of her beauty. In summary, the lovers have no power and the world around them - including the heavenly world - has all the power.

Nashua Telegraph (Newspaper) - December 3, 1969, Nashua, New Hampshire Today's Chuckle In bookstores today, it seems that the books that are not dirty, are dusty. Nashua Celeqraph Ntw Hampshire's Largest Evening Newspaper... C. J Weather Snowy, Cold Tonight Clear, Colder Thursday VOL. 101 NO. 23J NASHUA- NEW HAMPSHIRE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1969 PM 48 PASES Pric. TEN CENTS Girl Suspect In Slay ings Stayed In Milford By JOHN HAKRIGAN MILFORD Linda D. Kasa- bian, who faces charges In con- nection with the murder of act- ress Sharon Tale and six other persons in Los Angeles last Aug- ust, was staying in Miltord, where her mother lives, when she gave herself up to State Po- lice yesterday, the Telegraph has learned. Mrs. Kasabian, 20, was per- suaded to give herself up to po- lice by her mother Mrs. Ken- neth Byrd of 10 Berry Court, ac- cording to information received by the Telegraph. Mrs. Kasabian reportedly had been in Milford for about four days after she arrived in the company of four other persons who stayed over- night and left. Arraigned yesterday in Con- cord District Court as a fugitive from justice, Mrs. Kasabian was to be returned to Los Angeles today. Formerly Married The girl, who is the mother of one small child and, according to police five months pregnant with another, formerly was married to Robert Peaslee of Milford, the Telegraph learned. Peaslee, according to reports, is serving in Vietnam and was wounded in action last week. Mrs. Kasabian, whose maiden name is Linda Drouin, reportedly attended high school in Milford but dropped out before she was graduated. Classmates described her as "timid, quiet and frail." Last May the girl appeared in Milford District Court on a charge of driving without a license. She was fined At that time, the Telegraph learned, she was living on For- est Street in Wilton with a group of young persons described by Wilton Police as "a hippie crowd." Wilton police said the group left town at the end of June re- portedly bound for New Mexico. Mrs. Kasabian is a native of Biddeford, Me., where her family lived when Mrs. Byrd was mar- ried to Rosaire Drouin. Drouin now reportedly lives in Miami, Fla. The attractive, dimunitive girl waived extradition rights when she appeared in the Concord court. "I'm she said calmly when the charges were read. Remains Calm She was calm throughout the court proceedings, occasionally exchanging remarks with the two state police lieutenants who brought her to court and Merri- County Sheriff Clyde Parker, to whose custody she was remanded. Judge Donald G. Matson, re- peatedly asked her whether she knew the nature of the proceed- ings. She repeated "I'm guilty" when he asked her if she un- derstood the fugitive charge. "How old are he asked. "I'm 20 years she re- plied quietly. She wore a short camel-hair coat, dark brown bell-bottom slacks and light brown suede boots. Although she indicated she had an attorney in Los Ange- les, Matson temporarily ap- pointed former U.S. Atty. Ro- bert D. Branch of Concord to represent her at the arraign- ment. She examined the waiver doc- uments for a moment, smiled at Branch, and signed them. The judge then pointed to the American and New Hampshire flags on either side of the bench and said: "There is the flag of the United States and there il the flag of New Hampshire. They mean He again asked the girl whether she un- derstood the legal proceedings and she nodded. She wore a red scarf on her head and hid her face from GIRL STAYED Page2 Mayor's Veto Delays Plans For Library By CLAUDETTE DCKOCHEE Plans to demolish the old post office on Court Street have been temporarily halted by Mayor Dennis J. Sulli- van's veto of a resolution conveying jurisdiction over the vacant building to the joint library building committee. Tipped Truck Provides These huge, expensive high-tension line poles provided an afternoon of head-scratching and headaches for the driver of this truck and Koppers Company, Inc., Forest Products Division. The huge Douglas Fir poles, ranging from 95 feet long to 120 feet and worth about apiece, were loaded onto two trailer trucks for a trip to Medway, Mass. But a narrow corner, a ditch, a 120-foot pole and a stubborn pine tree teamed up to flip the trailer and halt proceedings in general. The longest pole, processed at Koppers, caught on the huge pine tree at far right, and the trailer rolled over. It took two f orklifts and two hours before the truck was righted and the poles were again on their way. The huge trees came to Nashua by rail. (Telegraphoto-Harrigan) Resolution Carried 333 to 55 House Backs Nixon's Peace By ROBERT A. HUNT WASHINGTON (AP) Presi- dent Nixon, who claimed, one month ago today that the "silent majority" of Americans support his efforts to end the Vietnam War, has a 333-55 voting majori- ty backing him in the House of Representatives. The 6-1 margin came Tuesday on a resolution supporting the administration's "efforts to ne- gotiate a just peace in Viet- nam." Some of those voting for the resolution did so with reser- vations, however. A last-minute addition to the resolution requests Nixon "to continue to press" North Viet- nam to abide by a Geneva con- vention providing for the hu- mane treatment of prisoners of war. The POW vote was 392-0. But before the two days of wide-ranging debate was over. House leaders on both sides of the aisle came under fire for bringing the resolution to the floor under procedures banning amendments. Varied Donations Help Boost i Santa Fund Total to By MICHELE BUJOLD The Telegraph Santa Fund climbed to today boosted by worth of donations from various companies, civic organi- zations and individual donors. Among the contributions were two checks for each from W. R. Swart and the employes of Law Motor Freight, Inc., and a check for from the Kings Daughters Benevolent Association. Also adding to the total was from an anonymous donor, and from the Nashua Corpor- ation Combining Department. All donations to the Santa Fund are to help the area's needy, un- fortunates and forgotten elderly during the holiday season. The money given to the Fund, and all other donations of toys, food and clothing, is given to the Salvation Army which acts as a clearing house for distribution to the needy. In 1968, a total of 276 families were helped, represent- ing over children. Request Aid Captain Charles Sargent, officer hi charge of the local Salvation Army headquarters, reports that several requests for assistance have already come to his atten- tion, and letters keep pouring in. In the past, the Telegraph has been overwhelmed with the re- sponse of a generous citizenry, and in particular with that of children who are willing to col- lect money for the Santa Fund, or part with their own toys to make someone else's Christmas a little brighter.

This year, to avoid unncessary confusion, and to give the chil- dren some brand of identifica- tion, the Telegraph is issuing "Santa's Helper" badges. Any child, whether he wants to solicit alone, or with a scout troop, etc., should come in and register with the Telegraph first, and pick up his or her badge. All he or she has to do is come into the Telegraph's main office at 60 Main Street, and the recep- tionist will give him a badge.

Fifty-four Democrats voted against the resolution. They were joined by Republican Rep. Ogden R. Reid of New York. Supporting it were 161 Demo- crats and 172 Republicans. The resolution requires no ac- tion by the Senate or signature by Nixon. A similar proposal, but also including a call for a mutual ceasefire, is pending in the Senate. Chairman Thomas E. Mor- gan, D-Pa., of the House For- eign Affairs, Committee, said the measure doesn't confer any more power on the President but some opponents weren't so sure. In addition to the peace ef- forts and POW issue, the resolu- tion also gives approval to prin- ciples enunciated by Nixon that the people of South Vietnam are entitled to choose their own gov- ernment by free elections and calls on North Vietnam to an- nounce its willingness to honor those elections.

The vetoed resolution was unanimously approved by the Board of Aldermen at its meet- ing last week. It transferred jurisdiction over the unused post office from the aldermanic lands and build- ings committee to the joint li- brary building committee to make way for demolition of the granite structure. A contract for demo- lition of nine buildings, includ- ing the post office, plus a barn and several garages was award- ed to Kamienlecki Wrecking last week by the joint commit- tee. A committee spokesman said demolition work on the post of- fice will be delayed pending the overriding of the mayor's veto by the aldermen at their meet- ing next Tuesday.

Repudiating this after the men were turned over, a U.S. Army statement pointed out that the United States in nego- tiations for release of the men had consistently maintained that the helicopter crossed the demilitarized zone without hos- tile intent when the pilot got lost.

Seaborne Seaplane USVI
Seaborne Airlines has been flying since 1992 in the seaplane business, safely carrying over 1.7 million passengers. The Seaborne seaplane operates between downtown Christiansted, St. Croix and downtown Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas with 35 daily flights.
- The only seaplane service in the U.S. Virgin Islands
- Convenient service with no airports
- Every flight has two engines and two pilots
seaplane safety
The Power of Two: Seaborne Airlines flights all have two pilots on board our safe twin-engine aircraft. Seaborne's fleet is supported by a seaplane maintenance team that is based on St. Croix. Seaborne Airlines has maintained an impeccable safety record.
seaplane comfort
Seaborne seaplane flights are air-conditioned to provide a very comfortable travel experience for our customers.
In fact, the seaplane between St. Thomas and St. Croix epitomizes comfort with air travel. The flight is only 18 minutes long with the convenience of downtown to downtown ports is unsurpassable all with incredible views! This is travel with maximum comfort and enjoyment.
seaplane fleet
There are two (2) DHC-6-300 Twin Otter aircraft with WipLine floats in the seaplane fleet with approximately 30 flights per day. Seaborne is proud to operate this particular aircraft, a 19 passenger (our seaplanes are configured for 15 seats) Short Takeoff and Landing utility aircraft developed by deHavilland Canada. This type of aircraft is designed to be a regional passenger airliner and Medevac aicraft. The pontoons used for water based departures and landings have allowed a practical seaplane solution to thrive in destinations all over the world that benefit from convenient inter-island connections, just like the Caribbean. Read more about the seaplane fleet.
seaplane challenges
Did you know that seaplanes cost more than twice as much to operate as land based aircraft? Why? Because the salt and rough water take a significant daily toll on our aircraft! In order continue to fly SAFELY, which is our first priority, we must constantly overhaul aircraft and replace expensive parts.
Here are some numbers:
- Aircraft overhauls (done every three years) run upwards of $1,500,000.
- Parts, replaced multiple times daily, cost as much as $25,000!
- Engines replacements are over $300,000!
- Then there are the aircraft themselves, the Twin Otter – which now cost over $4,000,000 to put in service, twice the amount just three years ago!!!
- Land based aircraft, engines, and parts, by comparison, last 15 years longer!!!
- Now add the fact that the price of fuel has tripled over the past three years!

Ok guys when it comes to sports betting I'm Old School I don't advise you play parlays or teasers but there is one time when I will make an exception to that rule in regards to teasers. The NFL presents some very good opportunites to make 2 team 7 point teasers. Using that full touchdown to move the line 7 points up or down creates solid winning opportunities.
The reason for this is that in the NFL the lines are the sharpest of any of the sports and using that extra 7 points can be present great betting situations. With teasers you hope the Vegas oddsmakers have done a very good job with the lines because if they have it makes your job so much easier. That concept was never more evident than this past Sunday October 17th when there was 13 NFL Games on the schedule meaning if betting teasers on just the game not the Over/Under there would be 26 possible teams to tease.
Knowing nothing about betting, nothing about football and for that matter nothing about teasers you had a 84.6% chance of winning on Sunday. That's right 84.% chance of winning because of the 26 teams playing on Sunday 22 of them were a winner if you used them in a 7 pt teaser. That's 22 of 26 no matter who you picked.
So if your ever going to bet Teasers do it in the NFL but with that said here are a few tips that will increase your winning percentage.
NEVER TAKE A SMALL FAVORITE and TURN THEM INTO A SMALL DOG (-3.5 to +3.5) although it seems inviting you are not getting the best value from your extra 7 points
ALWAYS BEST TO TAKE DOGS UP as by adding the the extra 7 points to the line you are taking the spread thru another score. Example by adding 7 points to +1.5 or higher now means it takes 2 Scores to beat you. Teasing teams up to over 10 and 14 points forces a blowout for you to lose.
TAKE MARGINAL FAVORITES DOWN this is just the opposite of last situation. Teasing Favorites of -7 to -9.5 puts you in a situation where basically your team just has to win because even at -2.5 more games would fall on 3 than less than 3 so if you have the outright winner you will generally cash your bet.
Hope you find this useful in your Betting and make some extra cash with Teasers..
Good Luck!!
Be sure to visit my Home Page daily: Marco's Home Page
When you look at teasing the totals in the 13 Games on Sunday you will find that out of the 26 possible totals teasers you would have gone 23-3 in teaser bets no matter which way you teased for a whooping 88% Winners...
And that picture is amazing.
I've been teasing the Lions all year and they haven't lost. You can also exploit poor lines due to public perception (which usually happens in the Lions case) if you know who side is getting too many (or too little) points against the spread. There are always teams that are undervalued and overvalued. When you can spot those teams/games and use them in a 7-point teaser, you are getting some great value. You have to be really, really wrong or have a crazy injury occur to lose.

Menzies Hallett has shown little or no remorse for the callous killing of an innocent man and now he will probably die in prison, closing the country's oldest solved cold case.
In the High Court at Rotorua yesterday, Justice Ailsa Duffy sentenced the 72-year-old to life imprisonment for the 1979 murder of Turangi service station attendant Rodney Tahu.
Justice Duffy did not impose a minimum non-parole term, because in 1979, a court was legally unable to do so.
However, Hallett will in effect not become eligible for parole until he has served 10 years, she said.
Hallett was found guilty in May, almost 34 years after the murder.
He confessed to his then wife hours after the killing but the law at the time prevented people giving evidence against a spouse, so he never faced a jury.
That law changed in 2011, paving the way for yesterday's sentencing.
Last night, Hallett's former wife told the Weekend Herald that she wanted to put the issue to bed.
In court, Justice Duffy told Hallett he had shown little or no remorse for the "callous, brutal, senseless and cowardly killing of a helpless, wounded man".
Defence lawyer Paul Mabey, QC, told the judge his client had health issues and the reality was he would die in prison.
After the sentencing, Tahu family spokesman Colin Hair said that at last the family could put the case behind them.
"I think justice has finally been done," he said. "We will wake up tomorrow and start again."
There had been no winners, Mr Hair said.
"Justice is something that needs to be done; I'm not sure it needs to be celebrated."
The court heard how Hallett pulled into the closed service station just after 1am on August 16, 1979, wanting oil for his car.
Mr Tahu refused to reopen, so Hallett called him a "black b******", then shot three times.
The first shot missed but the second hit Mr Tahu in the shoulder.
Hallett then stood over the 32-year-old father of two and shot him through the head.
Rotorua Crown Solicitor Fletcher Pilditch described the final, fatal shot as "nothing short of an execution".
Justice Duffy said the best words came from the victim impact statement of Mr Hair, who is married to Mr Tahu's widow.
"He [Hallett] has had every opportunity to do the right thing, to put his hand up and express remorse, to try to put things right in some way, but he hasn't.
"Instead he has ducked and dived and done everything possible to try and avoid responsibility," the statement said.
Justice Duffy said during the trial, Hallett first accepted, then challenged, the admissibility of his ex-wife's evidence, before trying to claim provocation.
Since the guilty verdict, he had refused to talk to the writer of his pre-sentencing report about his offending, the judge said.
"Not once have you expressed any sorrow or regret for your actions to the family of the man you killed."
Mr Tahu's sister Linda Rarere read a victim impact statement on behalf of her siblings in which she spoke of the "horror" her family had gone through for 33 years.
Her brother had been a "gentleman" with a zest for life who never smoked or drank, was hard working and frugal, a natural leader, loved rugby and league and was a Saturday morning referee, played guitar in a band, loved hot rods and collecting old bottles, and loved his family.
He left a "beautiful legacy", and even nieces and nephews who had never met him tried to live up to his example.
Mrs Rarere said no one deserved to die as her brother did - "terminated as if they were nothing".
"Our family have lived for 33 years with the horror of knowing what our beautiful brother must have gone through in those final moments.
"It's a horror each one of us has lived and replayed over and over and over again.
"Our brother paid with his life and suffered the full brunt of the accused's brutal actions."

Q&A: My 51 year old mother has severe pain, what can I do?
Dr. Sambursky, My mother is 51 years old. She has many full examinations, including blood work and she has had x-rays and cat scans of the head and neck. She went to the chirorpactor for about 3 months. She has went to her primary doctor as well as many other doctors, she has been told that it's everything form arthritis to muscle spasms to it being "all in her head"(as in the pain isn't real). If there is any more specific information you need, let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter, and thanks for any help yoiu can give. Sincerely, Tabitha Wolfe
Tabitha, This sounds very frustrating to you and i can understand. Has she tried acupuncture? This would be my next step if you have exhausted all other fields. I don't know why her head jerks. I wish I could help you. My last question is did the chiropractor actually perform manipulation. what i mean is did he/she actually move the bones where your mom heard a popping noise in the neck. Many chiropractors do not perform manipulation but actually utilize different methods and people tend to think that is what chiropractic is. I have come across this many times and then they go to a chiropractor get a "real" adjustment and feel better. I am not saying that the chiropractor did not perform his/her job just giving you something to ask your mom. there has to be some answer. She is too young. good luck. Dr. Sambursky

Q&A: Is it at all possible I could become pregnant without invasive treatments?
Hi, I was wondering with high FSH levels of 15 and 17 if I could still become pregnant on my own? I've gone to an RE for months without any success doing clomid, injectables, iui's. I'm doing acupunture and herbs at the moment and feel so much better with this treatment than with the drugs. My insurance dosen't cover any infertility so I'm not able to go to the RE anymore. Is it at all possible I could become pregnant without invasive treatments? I have a two year old son that I had no problems conceiving. Thanks for your response!- Ellen
It's possible to conceive with your FSH levels, although the likelihood is low. Also, you would be at a very increased risk for miscarriage, due to diminished egg quality. I hope the acupuncture and herbs help! Good luck....

I'm looking for some advice.
What would you consider a new beekeeper, who uses OA vapour, and Essential oils in the occasional sugar syrup feed to be?
A treater or a somewhere in-between treater? IE: between the two ends of the treater or non-treater spectrum. So fare I have used essential oils (Winter Green, Lemon Grass, Tea Tree ) in my feed and was planning on using OA vapour when the need arises. Would you consider this to be a bad strategy to use prior to going totally treatment free?
I consider myself to be an in-between Beekeeper so far, because I'm NOT planning on using any antibiotics
Or commercial products to combat/prevent Nosema and such..... as Fumidil B..........
As a newbee I'm finding myself worrying and fussing over every possible thing that could go wrong.
IE: "I had better feed my bees, because maybe there wont be a Goldenrod flow".....

It's amazing how the city can waste your money. Last year, city officials decided that tow trucks had to have a city business license even if they were not doing business in the city, just driving through it. The city began seizing tow trucks that transversed our streets without that license. The American Automobile Association (AAA) filed a suit against the city on behalf of all of those who were punished for driving on city streets without a license. This week, a judge ruled that the city had to pay those companies $658,149 because it was illegal to seize vehicles simply for driving on our streets.
Aviator Sports at Floyd Bennett Field is quickly becoming the destination of choice for Rockaway residents intent on participating or watching sports. Now, you can add those who want a taste of the best that Brooklyn restaurants have to offer. Included in the complex's food court are Junior's Cheesecake, Gramaldi's Pizza, Michael's Pastry Shop, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory and Brooklyn Brewery.
Those who have an interest in the future of Neponsit should attend the November 28 meeting concerning the future of the Neponsit Health Facility property abutting Gateway National Park. The city wants to take over the land from the Health and Hospital Corporation and turn it into single-family homes. In order to do that, the State Legislature must approve the change. Right now, the property can only be used for either a health care facility or a park and the city does not like either of those ideas. The meeting will be held at the DSSM-Neponsit Health Care facility in the Sand's Point building on Beach 102 Street at 6 p.m.
Those who said that Arverne By The Sea would be a failure and that the proposed YMCA would never be built will now have to eat a little crow. The project is now full speed ahead and city officials broke ground for the Y last week with great fanfare. Next will come the stores and restaurants between Rockaway Beach Boulevard and the subway's elevated structure. The anchor for now will be a Super Stop and Shop Supermarket.
Three years after the crash of American Airlines Flight 587 in Belle Harbor, the state legislature passed a law setting up free college scholarships for family members who lost their relatives in the crash. The fund guarantees free tuition at any City University or State University of New York institution. They can also attend any private college or university in New York State for an equivalent cost. To date, only 11 of the hundreds of people eligible for the scholarships has taken advantage of the state program. The law is retroactive to April 1, 2001.
The Daily News reported with glee last week that many students are successfully defying the ban of cell phones in schools by smuggling them into their schools in such places as their shoes, belts and bras, as well as stuffing them into the scaffolding around the schools and then taking them back once they are in the building. That a daily newspaper would support student's who break school rules is troubling. Just because the News does not support the chancellor's ban does not mean that the paper should tell students how to get around them.
For a long time now, local school officials have not been able to speak with the press without permission from the Department of Education (DOE). Now, the DOE is taking that one step forward, becoming even more restrictive with the information about our schools that gets out to the public. From now on, local schools officials such as principals and Local Instructional Superintendents will have to confer with a new "external communication team" before speaking to community groups or public officials. That ban includes speaking with parent groups, unions, elected parent council members and groups of local business people. The DOE says that it just wants the "right hand to know what the left hand is doing," We think that the DOE simply does not want the public to know what is going on in its schools.
Many of the family members of those who perished in the crash of American Airlines Flight 587 stopped on their way home from the ceremony at Beach 116 street and a quick visit to the crash site at Beach 131 Street and Newport Avenue to stop and pick up a copy of The Wave with the two-page spread of photographs from the crash. A number of them told us that the paper would be a keepsake of the crash, which killed 265 people, including five Rockaway residents.
Those who were surprised that Mayor Michael Bloomberg and UFT President Randi Weingarten got together in advance to finalize a new teacher's contract should not have been. Bloomberg sees mayoral control of the school system as one of his major legacies. He wants the school governance law to be made permanent by the State Legislature when it comes up for renewal in 2009 and he would do almost anything to insure that. There is some question of the wording in the clause concerning health care, however, that needs to be resolved. There are many teachers who tell us that they won't vote for the contract.

Does Apple Even Have a Cloud Strategy?
Apple has to prove that they can do the cloud. The things that make Apple strong with individual products - user experience, integration, controlling the whole stack, proprietary software, charging a premium price for a premium experience - seem to work against them in the cloud.
Apple about to release something. I hope it'll be great. But I'm not taking that as a given.
In imagining what iCloud may be, its helpful to consider the complete Apple ecosystem and where it might fit to have the most impact.
I tend to break the ecosystem into 3 components: products, services and platforms. Products are their stylish devices, accessories and application packages. Services are delivery, support and convenience offerings. Examples are retail stores, iTunes, App Store, MobileMe, etc. Platforms are components primarily used by 3rd parties to add value to the ecosystem. Examples are Mac OS X and iOS. Notable sub components are iAd, Game Center and In-App Purchases. These latter are hybrid platform and service (a possible hint).
Its the third category, platform, where I believe iCloud could have the most impact. I'm looking for the next generation of Amazon Cloud Services. I'm imagining the NC data center is stuffed full of Xeon processors, exabytes of disks space and possibly petabytes of SSD. But unlike Amazon, which is a Linux and Windows platform, Apple's is Mac OS X Servers complete with Xsan, Xgrid and the myriad other server apps that come with it.
Apple will provide tight integration with these powerful servers and services through extensions to Mac OS X and iOS for developers to take advantage of. Imagine what Apple's 100,000 developers could do with super computers, gobs of RAM and near unlimited storage.
Regarding monetizing the platform, I imagine developers will be given a certain amount of compute time and storage for free and then allowed to resell any additional beyond that. Likewise, consumers will be given a certain amount of storage (locker) for free . Apps can be written by 3rd parties to manipulate items stored in those lockers such as innovative video players or video and audio editors. Maybe someone will write the next generation Facebook or Steam.
To the moon, Alice!
Apple took their time in developing the iPod, iPhone and the iPad. They released these products only when they were sure they could compete. Not when they were perfect, only when they were able to blow away the competition. One of SJ's greatest abilities is to do this. All had positive surprises in one way or another. Apple's iCloud venture will be the same. I believe that it will set a new paradigm for 'cloud computing', forcing everyone else to rethink what they have done.
Well… .Mac and MobileMe haven't set the world on fire just yet.
But real-life studies…er…betas?...or is it, actual cloud products?...shows that the "Cloud" is neither (1) all-important or (2) all-perfect. Witness OTA software updates that brick certain Android phones, and very dubious things such as Airpush (a _push ad_ platform that invades Android's push notification space. Android aside, there's cloud reliability and capacity/access constraints, particularly when mobile.
Google may be "winning" in the Cloud but I don't see that hurting Apple's fortunes one bit. I can wait until Apple gets things right. If anything, the Cloud as far as the rest of us are concerned is prime for straight-up redefinition by Apple.
The Summer of AAPL is here. Enjoy it (responsibly) while it lasts.
AFB Night Owl Team™
Thanks, Steve.
What I?d like to see is an experience compelling in every way so that someone who owns a OSX or iOS product can utilize these services at base for free. There can be premium levels, but an Apple user shouldn't feel the need for other platforms
(in no particular order)
1 mail
Can Apple provide a mail service that's reliable. Questionable based on past experience.
2. cloud based apps
Google docs, enough said. Collaboration by multiple users on a single document.
3. mapping
It seems they are doing something in this area, and it would seem wise to offer this to all your mobile devices rather than relying on Google or Nokia to supply them the information. Revenue potential?
4. storage and transfer for mobile to desktop sharing
(Dropbox and Evernote) - I don?t know how I ever functioned before they came along.
5. mobile device backup and sync with desktop
This would allow untethering of iOS from desktop. The big question to me is am I going to want to spend the time it takes to backup 16GB of my iPad over WiFi? Not unless they use some kind of time machine process whereby you only have to backup differences. Perhaps just remote services like sync, find my phone, remote wipe, etc.,
6. mobile software - desktop software
I?m sure everyone would concede that both App stores have been extremely successful, no reason to think it won?t continue to expand and improve.
7. iTunes - music locker or music on demand service
Is iTunes getting long in the tooth? Is it time to revisit this? As for the music locker services it?s certainly not something I?m interested in. Call me old fashioned but I have the music of my life on my computer. It?s a big improvement on albums stored in milk crates.
Here's an article regarding some of the difficulties in licensing. I'm sure the restrictions will be somewhat limiting.
8. video
is it Apple TV?s time to shine?
I fervently hope that Apple looks at all the mess that?s out there now, and says ?you know what, we looked at all the services available, and we think we can do it better? the same thing they did when they came out with the iPhone.
Then we?ll have something to crow about. We?ll see.
Then there is the whole social area. I really have no idea here. Ping is certainly not what people have in mind. I really don?t see that Apple has to get involved here. Will it really sell any product?
Here we are getting religion about the cloud when it's been a pretty bad week out there for services. Amazon,Apple,Epsilon Playstation. The cloud can come back to bite you. I sometimes wonder if the start of RIMMs problems wasn't the insistence of Saudi Arabia and India that they have access to their encrypted data.[ Edited: 29 April 2011 09:58 PM by jimlongo ]
redge, was the problem with Mail, or ....... ?
Lee Dronick
- [ Ignore ]
Redge, what was the problem? Over the last few years I have almost no problems synching via MobileMe.
"Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake." E. M. Forster
Regarding iTunes on iOS devices:
Playback of media is either with the "Movies" app or the "iPod" app. (Some smartypants even install VLC.) Both apps are for playback only. We cannot manipulate tags, change the rating or even change the format of the playlists.
I have been hoping that one's iOS device could be permanently "untethered" from the base Mac/Windows PC. But its not going to happen until the iPod / Movie apps get upgrades for media management.
Therefore the cloud strategy has got some closed doors which need to be specifically opened.
Apple doesn't like the business model of giving free stuffs funded by advertisements. Google, Facebook, Twitter and Yahoo! employ this type of model. Apple prefers to make $ through delivering and charging for quality products, services and content. So expect iCloud to be a paid service and won't be as popular as free cloud services. The pros of paid service are smaller paying customers, more secured and minimal spams.
Btw, other than Eddy Cue, is there another senior executive that is good at cloud?

I would agree with you and don't mind paying for MobileMe since I see the benefit. However the iOS advantage is that it has lots of Apps and developers are making money via ads on some of them. Apple should offer something for free otherwise the google will cont. to dominate the cloud for free. Most people don't mind ads if they don't have to pay money for the service.
Somebody has a strategy for Cinco de Mayo. Thought I'd drop this in here.

I believe Apple viewed MobileMe as a premium service that ordinary consumers might spring for.
The Apple Stores, retail and online, hoped that consumers would go for added services such as AppleCare, One-to-One and MobileMe.
Then we have the iTunes Store. 99 cents for the majority of songs, even these days. Simple.
Someone who appreciated the success of the iTunes Store finally wondered why MobileMe wasn't enjoying the same glory.
So, MobileMe is getting a makeover. The biggest makeover would be a price between zero and 20 / year. Still no firm word from any rumor source on what the features will be. I'm thinking that Apple itself HAS NOT DECIDED what the features will be. There could be technical reasons such as Lion or iOS 5 not ready. Or there could be partner reasons mainly the music industry. Or, Apple is making a business decision. Or, Apple is unsure of the karma of a $ 0, 10, 20, 40, 70 price / year.
Plenty of chatter from the customers. Really big kitchen. Plenty of wait staff. No meat on the plate.
Anything over $ 20 these days for the main attraction of iDisk and email address would indicate to me that some misspelled "clue" and got "glue".[ Edited: 08 May 2011 12:33 AM by Tetrachloride ]

With the size of the new data center, and space ready onsite for a 2nd data center, I'm thinking that whatever Apple does with iCloud that it will be a FREE cloud service. You don't build something that large unless the service is free. Otherwise you would NOT get the demand or usage required to need this massive amount of infrastructure.
And FREE is the way to go. The iTunes music store was only meant to break even, because Apple made money on the iPod. iTMS was a way to sell more iPods. I believe Apple is reaching into it's playbook once again and plans to offer a free iCloud service. iCloud is a way to sell more iPhones and iPads.
Furthermore, nothing prevents Apple from releasing iOS 5 (and iCloud) in June even if iPhone5 comes in September. WWDC is rumored to focus on OS X and iOS. If true and the big new features are iCloud integration, makes some sense to announce iCloud at WWDC as the big news that makes iOS 5 important.
Finally, with the market cap success of Facebook and Google by providing free services supported by advertising, Apple might see the light and do the same, but supported by device sales (and iAds).

Speech speech speech. That's huge when it happens. It needs big compute power backed by big database familiarity with you/your voice/your life. The soundbites have to go to a big server farm and generate an immediate, sensible response. The provider has to have your trust. 100% ad funded equals untrustworthy.
Look what being first to get touch right has done for Apple. First to get speech right is bigger. And harder. A real moat when it's done. A cloud service that feels like a device feature.[ Edited: 08 May 2011 03:14 AM by sleepygeek ]
Between Jim's post and this speculation on voice + mapping, we could have a tectonic shift
Apple doesn?t need to be bigger than Android, but it absolutely needs to be better.
So Apple is making iOS your new best friend ? that does all the annoying little detail work for you. And it?s via an acquisition they made over a year ago, Siri, and a massive data center in the clouds of North Carolina.
Imagine this: pull out your iPhone and say: ?I need a flight to Toronto on June 9, arriving in early afternoon, a downtown hotel that doesn?t cost more than $200/night, and tickets to a Blue Jays game that weekend. Oh, and by the way, make me dinner reservations at a good French restaurant for Friday night.?
Rocket science? Star Trek? Prerogative of wealthy execs with personal assistants and fat expense accounts? Rich man?s reality, poor man?s dream?
Think again. This is what Siri does ? and this is the future of iOS.
Parsing grammar is not trivial. Then again, there's been 30 years of LISP, and development of the Jeopardy-playing supercomputer.

Biggs, Norman and Hutchinson, Jenny (2009) Knowles' patent yarn balance. Textile History, 40 (1). pp. 97-102. ISSN 0040-4969
In 1883 Thomas Knowles patented a balance designed to estimate the 'counts' of a sample of yarn without the need for calculations or tables. The balance was based on a clever, but practical, idea, and it was used extensively for well over 50 years. This note explains the essence of the idea, and the background of the people who designed and made the balance.

"The high level of cash on corporate balance sheets is enabling companies to move quickly when presented with the right opportunity." David Murray, Global Consumer Products Transactions Leader
The top 10 deals in the first quarter of 2012 had a combined value of US$6.4b, representing 86% of the total disclosed deal value for the period.
Of the top 10, five deals were in the food sector, three in beverage and the remaining two in household and personal care. There were no mega deals and only two deals had a value greater than US$1b.
Source: EY's Analysis of Thomson Reuters Data
*The disclosed value is the total value of consideration paid by the acquiror, excluding fees and expenses. The dollar value includes the amount paid for all common stock, common stock equivalents, preferred stock, debt, options, assets, warrants, and stake purchases made within six months of the announcement date of the transaction. Liabilities assumed are included in the value if they are publicly disclosed. Preferred stock is only included if it is being acquired as part of a 100% acquisition. If a portion of the consideration paid by the acquiror is common stock, the stock is valued using the closing price on the last full trading day prior to the announcement of the terms of the stock swap. If the exchange ratio of shares offered changes, the stock is valued based on its closing price on the last full trading date prior to the date of the exchange ratio change. For public target 100% acquisitions, the number of shares at date of announcement is used.
The quarter's largest deal was Kellogg's agreement to purchase Procter & Gamble's Pringles potato chip business for US$2.7b in cash after the proposed sale of Pringles to Diamond Foods in a debt and stock-based deal worth US$2.35b.
Top 10 deals in Q1 12
Top 10 deals in Q1 12
In February, Carlsberg announced plans to buy the remaining 15% minority stake in its Russian division Baltika for US$1.2b through a voluntary cash offer. Carlsberg is the market leader in the Russian beer market, which accounts for about 40% of the Danish brewer's revenues, but is facing challenging market conditions.
In a deal worth US$805m, Embotelladora Andina agreed to merge with soft drinks producer and distributor Embotelladoras Coca-Cola Polar, through an exchange of shares. The merger aims to consolidate Andina's leading position in the Latin American bottling business with operations in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Brazil.
The Netherland's Royal FrieslandCampina, the world's fourth largest dairy company, announced plans to spend up to US$458m to buy the remaining shares in Alaska Milk Corp. FrieslandCampina has agreed to buy the stake of Alaska's founding Uytengsu family for US$302.5 million, which will increase its holding in the Manila-listed company from 8.1% to 68.9%.
To fulfill local regulatory requirements, FrieslandCampina will tender for the remaining outstanding shares at the same price, which could cost up to a further US$155m.
In January, Theo Müller, the privately owned German dairy group best known for its yogurts and creamed rice, announced the £279.5m (US$422m) cash takeover of Robert Wiseman Dairies, the UK's biggest milk producer.
At the end of February, Svenska Cellulosa AB agreed to purchase Everbeauty for US$290m on a debt-free basis. Everbeauty is a leading Asian personal care products company with sales in China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Within incontinence care products, the company holds a number two position in China and a number one position in Taiwan.
Further evidence of the vertical integration and emerging market expansion themes is Olam International's announcement that it had acquired Titanium Holding Company for US$167m.
Turkish beverage group Anadolu Efes and Coca-Cola agreed to acquire an 85% interest in Iraq's Al Waha for Soft Drinks Mineral Water & Juices LLC (Al Waha) for US$134m. Anadolu Efes is the largest shareholder of Coca-Cola İçecek conducting Coca-Cola operations both in Turkey and international markets. The stake in Al Waha has been purchased by Waha Beverages, a Netherlands-registered subsidiary of Coca-Cola İçecek, and in turn Coca-Cola has indirectly taken a 23.6% stake in the Dutch investment vehicle.
The first quarter provided further evidence of Japanese companies using the strength of the yen to help make acquisitions in overseas markets. In March Nisshin Seifun Group Inc., reached an agreement to acquire all the shares of Miller Milling Co., a US-based producer of durum and hard wheat flours for breads, buns, muffins and tortillas, for US$122m.
South Korea's LG Household & Healthcare in January announced the acquisition of Japan-based cosmetics company Ginza Stefany Cosmetics. Initially, LG will pay US$118m for a 70% stake in Ginza and purchase the remaining 30% within three years.

Deputies: Teen cuts stepdad's brake lines, starts fires
CRAVEN COUNTY - A Craven County teenager is accused of cutting the brake lines of his stepfather's vehicle and setting fire to several family buildings.
Joshua Lowery, 19, is charged with two counts of burning other buildings and one count of injury to personal property; he remains in the Craven County jail.
Lowery began a three-day tear of crime last Tuesday, according to deputies.
That's when he cut the brake lines on his stepfather's pick-up truck Tuesday.
The stepfather, Kenneth Reason, found the damage before getting on the road, authorities said.
Lowery then lit a barn on fire Wednesday, before setting a separate barn on fire Thursday; both buildings are at the family's Old Cherry Point Road home, where Lowery lives with his mother and stepfather.
Deputies arrested Lowery this Tuesday.
Lowery's mother said this sort of behavior is unlike her son, and he will be getting help.

Medicine, blankets and clothing for flood victims arrived this morning in Bangkok
The Airbus Corporate Foundation and 'Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen' (LOG or 'Wings of Help') have transported some 12 tonnes of humanitarian goods to Bangkok aboard the delivery flight of Thai Airways International (THAI)'s newest A330-300 from Toulouse, France. The aircraft, which landed this morning in Bangkok, is the first to be delivered out of an order for seven A330-300s placed last year and joins an existing fleet of 20 A330s already operated by the airline.
Frankfurt based 'Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen', the German counterpart of 'Aviation sans Frontières', has been a regular partner of the Airbus Corporate Foundation for more than two years now. The organisation supports Airbus humanitarian ferry flights from Germany to countries in need, which have been affected by natural disasters.
THAI President, Mr. Piyasvasti Amranand, said, "It was logical for THAI to collaborate with Airbus Corporate Foundation to deliver the humanitarian goods to Thailand using our latest aircraft. As we receive the first of an order of seven A330-300 aircraft, it seems only natural to use the first aircraft's delivery flight to carry much needed relief cargo."
"Thailand suffered severe floods this summer. Over 12.8 million people are still affected and in need of medicine, clothing and blankets," said Andrea Debbane, Executive Director of the Airbus Corporate Foundation: "The Airbus Corporate Foundation, 'Luftfahrt ohne Grenzen' and THAI identified this flight as one more opportunity to transport humanitarian goods to people in need. We would like to thank both our partners and all the donor NGOs involved in this project".
Donor NGOs include Apotheker helfen e.V. ("Pharmacists are helping), Humedica, Fraport AG, Coppenrath GmbH and Intermedica GmbH.
In recent years, Airbus has built up a global network of airlines and relief organisations to support international humanitarian help. Delivery flights of new to be delivered aircraft have been used on numerous occasions to transport goods to destinations in need all over the world.
The Airbus Corporate Foundation was created to facilitate charitable activities worldwide within an international network of employees and partners. The Airbus Corporate Foundation started its operation on 1st December, 2008 with Airbus president and CEO Tom Enders being appointed Chairman of its Board of Directors. The organisation focuses its support on the three themes: humanitarian and community support, youth development and the environment.
Since its launch in December 2008, the Airbus Corporate Foundation has facilitated over 20 relief flights to numerous destinations all over the globe.
