Taylor Guitars Updates Factory Tour Schedule
Taylor Guitars will now offer its free, guided Factory Tour four days per week. Beginning at 1 p.m. every Monday through Thursday (excluding holidays), the Factory Tour takes guests through the steps of guitar construction. From wood selection to final assembly, guests will experience each process as a guitar evolves from raw wood into a finished instrument.
To take the tour, no appointment is necessary. Simply check-in at the receptionist desk in the lobby of our main building by 1 p.m. and register for the tour. While not physically demanding, the tour does include a fair amount of walking. Due to the technical nature, the tour may not be suitable for small children. The tour lasts approximately one hour and 15 minutes and departs from the main building at 1980 Gillespie Way in El Cajon, California.
Please note, the Taylor Guitars factory is closed to the public every Friday and for vacation 6/29-7/3/2009 and 12/21-1/1/2009.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The Wall Street Journal reports that investors have turned distinctly bearish on the global economy:
The negative news began late Friday, after the outlook on Italy's $1.9 trillion of government debt was lowered to negative by credit-ratings firm Standard & Poor's, which cited weak growth prospects and a slipping economic reform agenda. Then on Sunday, Spain's ruling party suffered a crushing defeat in weekend elections. The heavier-than-expected losses for the Socialist Party of Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero raise questions about his government's ability to pursue plans to overhaul the euro zone's fourth-largest economy and thereby ward off an international bailout.
This follows a growing political backlash elsewhere in Europe over the bailouts of Greece, Ireland and Portugal that is seen as making any additional support for those countries even harder to galvanize than in the past.
....By late Sunday in New York, the focus had shifted to the other side of the globe as fresh economic data raised concerns about the pace of economic growth in China, with whom the fortunes of other Asian economies are closely linked.
Once the housing bubble collapsed, a recession was inevitable. But the severity and length of the ensuing slump wasn't inevitable, and a second slump certainly isn't either. And yet, either a second recession or its near equivalent now seems more likely than not thanks to our increasingly 18th century approach to economic management over the past year. It's as if we've deliberately gone back to leeches and bleeding as cures for what ails us, and now we're surprised that the patient is getting worse instead of better.
This didn't have to happen. It still doesn't have to happen. It's a manmade catastrophe born of reactionary stupidity and political cowardice. We might still get out of this with our skins barely intact, but if we do it will be thanks only to dumb luck. Buckle up.

As school reunions go, this was just a touch different. South African batsmen AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis are old boys of the famous Affies boys' school, the elite Afrikaans academy in Pretoria. So too is New Zealand's transplanted seamer Neil Wagner.
They met up at St George's Park overnight on Friday and there's no question which ones finished the first day of the second test with a smile. The stumps board told the story, the hosts 325 for four, de Villiers made 51, du Plessis got to stumps unbeaten on 69, while left armer Wagner bowled energetically but without luck.
He did, at least, get one wicket to show for his toil, having South African captain Graeme Smith caught down the leg side for 54.
De Villiers and du Plessis are 28; Wagner is 26 and, as is the way at schools the world over, the older boys don't take that much notice of those a couple of years behind.
However, de Villiers spoke warmly of Wagner. Each was determined to win the personal battle.
"It was quite a weird situation," de Villiers said. "I had quite a few memories running through my mind and I just thought 'stick to the basics, because I can't get out to him'," he quipped.
"It would probably have been all over Facebook and would have got back to school. But I'm really proud of what he's achieved."
De Villiers said Wagner had made an impression at the school and in the years after, before he upped sticks and moved to New Zealand in 2008.
"He was always quite skillful at school but two years younger and never as [physically] developed as we were. I missed his last two years at school when he probably developed a lot. He's performed amazingly well. I'm very proud of him."
Wagner acknowledged the curious situation. Growing up, he wanted to play for South Africa. He spent plenty of time in the same dressing rooms as the other two Affies old boys.
"Every ball I bowled to AB, I was very determined to get him out. He got the better of me today but hopefully I'll get another opportunity," Wagner said. He had never played against du Plessis before.
"It is strange. Being friends and all of a sudden moving away and playing against him. It is different but I always felt we were having a battle out there," Wagner said.
When a ball from Trent Boult appeared to glance off du Plessis' gloves down the leg side, New Zealand appealed but didn't seek a referral - most likely a mistake although replays were inconclusive.
Wagner got in and tried to pick up what du Plessis was saying to his batting partner, the remarkable Hashim Amla. If du Plessis had let slip any indication that the ball had brushed his glove, Wagner could have tipped his captain Brendon McCullum's hand.
In the event, du Plessis told Wagner he hadn't touched the ball, capping a tough day for the New Zealanders. They bowled tidily at times, kept a reasonable check on the batsmen but it slipped badly in the final session as 134 runs were added by Amla, de Villiers and du Plessis.
That period shifted the game away from New Zealand, who had hopes of a series-levelling win.
There was no shortage of effort from the bowlers. Wagner, in particular, had no luck. The problem was too many free hits were given away.
Offspinner Jeetan Patel beat the bat more than once as the pitch started taking appreciable turn - a bad sign considering whose batting last in this test unless, of course, New Zealand's batting tumbles again and they follow on.
Amla completed his 19th century in his 67th test - and fourth ton against New Zealand. He has an implacable temperament to go with a decisive drive, a vigorous back-foot punch through the covers and an effectiveness about his leg side play.
Therefore, with the hosts 152 for three and the game well on, it was a pivotal moment when Kane Williamson dropped a sharp chance to his left at gully. Amla was on 48. It was the sort of situation drummed into players that they must grab.
Williamson is a fine fielder and it was an unfortunate miss.
"He's a calm man and we all feed off that," de Villiers said of 29-year-old Amla. "He's a rock for us; he played amazingly well."

How I Got Here: Google's Brent CallinicosMelanie Danko
Brent Callinicos took a non-traditional route to Google, where he currently serves as vice president and treasurer. After moving to the United States from South Africa, he enrolled as an undergraduate business student at the University of North Carolina. Instead of looking for a job upon graduating, he immediately joined the MBA program at UNC. As part of Bloomberg Businessweek's 'How I Got Here' series, Bloomberg's Melanie Danko spoke with Callinicos about his shift from college life to consumer products—and his jump into the tech sector, thanks to some savvy networking skills and a multifaceted career path. What follows is the story of Callinicos's career progression in his own words. (Some quotes have been edited for space and clarity.)
Name: Brent Callinicos, CPA
Current Position: Vice President and Treasurer, Google
Education: MBA, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Kenan-Flagler Business School, Class of 1989
Unusual then, unusual now. I went straight from UNC undergraduate school to grad school. No work experience, just right into an MBA program. While working on my MBA, I also took the CPA.
—Procter & Gamble, assorted finance roles, June 1989-April 1992
I worked at P&G for three years. It was a great training ground, as they hired hundreds of post-grad and undergrad students. It was a good place for someone with zero experience. I started in the treasury [department] there, interestingly enough. I moved around to some other corporate finance roles within the company as well.
—The Walt Disney Company, senior financial analyst, Walt Disney Records, April 1992-December 1992
I read the book Storming the Magic Kingdom, which was all about how Disney had reinvented itself. It was extremely impressive and it compelled me to send them my résumé. I made the move from P&G because I wanted a position where finance played more of a role in terms of what the company did. I had some exposure to technology while working at Disney in their gaming industry and it interested me.
—Microsoft, various finance roles, December 1992-April 2000
—Microsoft, vice president, treasurer, April 2000-April 2004
—Microsoft, vice president, worldwide licensing and pricing, April 2004-February 2006
—Microsoft, chief financial officer, platforms and services division, February 2006-January 2007
While I was at Disney, I had a friend working at a tech start-up called Microsoft. My friend really tried to convince me to move to Washington and I found it very intriguing. This was my first experience in tech. When I started [at Microsoft], only 3,000 people worked there. Essentially, I was doing the entire financial side for the company, as it was a startup: [mergers and acquisitions], financial analysis, development, etc. I rejoined the treasury [department] in 1995 with only about five or six people; the company was growing very fast. Ten years later, I was still working in treasury there. I became treasurer in 2000, and by 2004 there were hundreds of people in the treasury [department]. Microsoft then reorganized and I became a regional CFO.
—Google, vice president, treasurer, January 2007-Present
At the end of 2006, Google called. I like running things, I like building things, and it seemed like this was an opportunity to build new things. I remained interested in technology, and their small treasury group sparked my entrepreneurial fire. I was also attracted to the trajectory of the company. In 2007, I joined the treasury [department], made up of about five or six people. Today, the treasury group is over 50 people, and in addition I picked up the accounting and tax departments. I now have that group rolling up to me as well. It's about 300 to 400 people, in all.
—Final Word
Get the work experience. In hindsight, I know what the school gave me, but the work experience is very relevant in the MBA program. I didn't have the same context as the rest of the students. However, building the connections with professors and colleagues in grad school was crucial and became very strong and has helped me today. Make those connections. You never know what will come from them.

Special emphasis on clear and relevant explanations gives you a new arsenal of insights toward living a better life.

"Insight of a Believing Thinker"
This was the first audiobook I've ever listened to. It was a gift from my niece who knew I loved Kierkegaard.
I loved getting an introduction to the works that I haven't read. We learn the reasons for the pseudonyms, and the philosophies dealt with in his books.
I enjoyed all of his performances. I couldn't pick a favorite.
The Passion of a Follower of Christ.
It stirred my heart. There are just snippets of information about Kierkegaards struggles with Hegel, Socrates, and the prevailing Danish Christian Church, but enough to remind you of the tremendous contribution Kierkegaard made to Christian thought. His passionate insistence that we live and not just believe the truth. I loved it!!!
Tell us about yourself! I am a 43 year old wanna be intellect. I love people doing things for me and i guess that includes my reading! My interests vary widely so this site is right up my alley....maybe too much so!!!
"A Philosophical Materpiece"
It taught me why philosophy matters.
His love for Regina and his understanding that subjectivity is more important than objectivity.Allthough tragic the genius that Soren had taught people to look for more than just getting by. This story told me I need to find my purpose and when I do that will be "my" truth, not what everyone else thinks it should be for me.
His calrity and obvious love for the subject matter.
Truth is what you make of it, not what the world does.
Wonderful summary....I listened to it 3 times. His life just fascinated me
"Brief but existential"
Quick read but pretty good depth on Kierkegaard's contributions to the field. Very thought provoking
"A good, brief, introduction."
Enjoyable and covers a broad scope of Kierkegaard's thought but it might be nice to have a little more detail in some places and some more analysis of the text.

First time I have a vehicle with the Tow/Haul Mode on it. I have a 2011 Sierra SLT Crewcab.
Last week, I hooked up my RV (travel trailer 28ft, 4700lbs empty) for a drive to the dealer for some quick spring maintenance. I clicked the tow/haul mode on thinking, this will be better for the road....
WOW.... ok to get out of the yard, it was great, but when I got on the road, the RPM went up to 3000 between gear changes... but although I had lots of power and torque for the initial launch, it was brutal afterwards!!! The truck was sluggish and I felt like it was held back..
So I took the tow/haul mode off... Then everything was smooth and nice, the truck didn't seem to be under load at all.
So my questions:
- Should I use the Tow/Haul Mode when driving my RV around?
- Is it because my RV is "light" compared to the towing capacity that I got that feeling? And by such the Tow/Haul is not needed for my RV?
- Is there a problem driving the RV on the regular tranny mode and using the 5th and 6th OD gears?

Shivaram Rajguru
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Shivaram Rajguru
Statue of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev
|24 August 1908
Khed, Pune, Bombay Province, British India
|23 March 1931
(aged 22)
Lahore, British India, (now in Punjab, Pakistan)
Shivaram Hari Rajguru (24 August 1908 – 23 March 1931) was an Indian revolutionary from Maharashtra, known mainly for his involvement in the assassination of a British Raj police officer.
Rajguru was born in a Marathi Deshastha Brahmin family at Khed, near Pune, in what was then British India. He grew up in Khed and his family had always harboured strong anti-British,pro-nationalist sentiments. By his late teens was a member of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association, who wanted India to be freed from British rule by any means necessary. He believed that ferocity against oppression was far more effective against British rule than the nonviolent civil disobedience preferred by Mahatma Gandhi.
Rajguru became a colleague of Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev, and took part in the assassination of a British police officer, J. P. Saunders, at Lahore in 1928. Their actions were to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai who had died a fortnight after being hit by police while on a march protesting the Simon Commission. The feeling was that Rai's death resulted from the police action, although he had addressed a meeting later.[1][2]
The three men and 21 other co-conspirators were tried under the provisions of a regulation that was introduced in 1930 specifically for that purpose.[3] All three were convicted of the charges and hanged on 23 March 1931. They were cremated at Hussainiwala at the banks of the Sutlej river in the Ferozepur district of Punjab.
His birthplace of Khed has since been renamed as Rajgurunagar in his honour. Rajguru Market, a shopping complex at Hisar, Haryana, was named in his honour in 1953.[citation needed]

After working with SBTRKT, Jessie Ware and Drake, it seems Sampha is ready to step into his own spotlight. Yesterday, the people at Yours Truly were treated to an intimate Q&A with Sampha, plus a live rendition of Indecision.
Sampha performs the track on the piano, sparse and syrupy, with almost no difference between his studio and live voice. Sampha also discussed what sparks his creativity, making music to avoid doing homework, and the stories behind his tracks. Sampha could be considered Young Turks' secret weapon. For the most part, the label is known for it's largest signee, The XX, but Sampha has been building up a repertoire as a talented producer, vocalist and just a well-rounded musician. Watch a live take of Indecision, below.

In string theory a given Riemann surface with punctures can usually be read in different ways as describing either closed strings or open strings. For instance the disk-diagram describes equivalently a process where a closed string disappears, or a process where an open string first appears and then disappears.
Since closed string excitations induce gravity while open string excitations induce Yang-Mills fields as effective field theories, this leads to a multitude of relations between these ordinary quantum field theories, such as the KLT relations or the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Harrison has eight-round bout in DC
By Gary "Digital" Williams
Undefeated DC welterweight Dusty Hernandez-Harrison will face his most accomplished foe to date when he headlines the Saturday, May 18 "Champion Class" card at the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) Sports Complex in Washington, DC.
UDC will be an interesting location for Harrison, who will turn 19 shortly after this card. Harrison (14-0, eight KO's) will begin taking classes at the university in June. Harrison will face Eddie Soto of Pawtucket, RI by way of Puerto Rico in a scheduled eight-round encounter.
Harrison (14-0, eight KO's) is coming off a six-round unanimous decision over Jonathan Garcia on April 12 in Dover, DE. Soto (12-6, four KO's) got off to a great start in his pro career winning his first 12 bouts. However, Soto has had difficulty as he has stepped up in competition losing his last six. Soto has faced the likes of Edgar Santana, Danny O'Connor, Jose A. Gonzalez and Mike Faragon in his last six bouts.
The co-feature bout is a six-round contest that marks the return of Upper Marlboro, MD heavyweight "Big" Phill Brown (6-1, three KO's) taking on undefeated Nati Visinia of San Diego, CA (8-0, seven KO's) in a six-round bout. This will be the first bout for Brown since May 31, 2007 when he lost a six-round majority decision to Mike Sheppard in Glen Burnie, MD. Visinia makes his return after an almost two-year absence. Visinia scored a fourth-round TKO over Kourtney Boden on May 31, 2011 in Santa Monica, CA.
Also on the card, Waldorf, MD welterweight Mike "Yes, Indeed" Reed returns to action in a four-round contest against the debuting Christian Daniel of Wilson, NC. Reed (2-0, two KO's) has had both of his bouts end in the first round.
Bowie, MD super middleweight "The King's Son" Jerry Odom will be on the card as he takes on Andrew Morias of Monroe, MI in a four-round encounter. Odom (3-0, three KO's, one NC) also has yet to fight after the first round. Morias (1-1) won a four-round unanimous decision over Desmond Jackson on April 27 in Toledo, OH.
Undefeated Palmer Park, MD super featherweight Kevin "K-Smoov" Rivers, Jr. will face veteran Jason Rorie of Winston-Salem, NC in a four-round contest. Rivers (6-0, five KO's) is coming off a third-round TKO over Carlos Alcala on April 20 in Upper Marlboro, MD. Rorie (6-16-2, three KO's) will be trying to break a nine-bout losing streak.
DC light heavyweight Greg Newby will face William Prieto of Lorain, OH in another four-rounder. Newby (7-0, four KO's) went six rounds with Mark Anderson and won a unanimous decision on April 27 in Bamberg, SC. Prieto (5-7-1, four KO's) is making his second straight trip to DC and hopes for a much better outing this time Prieto was knocked out in the first round by newly-crowned WBC Fecarbox Super Middleweight champ Phil Jackson Benson on November 3 at the Washington Convention Center.
The card also marks the pro debut of Alexandria, VA light heavyweight Patrick Coye who will battle the equally debuting Charles Parker of Wilson, NC.
Two other bouts are slated to be added to the card, which is promoted by All-In-Entertainment, a group consisting of attorney Jeff Fried, world champion poker player Phil Ivey and NBA superstar Monta Ellis.

Where I stayed
Tall Chief RV Resort
While there, we visited with friends Gary and Angela in Redmond and on another day, Vern, who we met in Mexico the year before, drove over with his girlfriend from Gig Harbor. We went to the Snoqualmie Casino for their great buffet lunch and a nice time chatting.
After lunch we went back by way of the Snoqualmie Falls Park, which was rather impressive. We were a bit surprised to see a scuba diver in the middle of the river, below the falls, and we could only guess what he was doing there....maybe looking for gold?
Unfortunately, some of the other people who we had hoped to see while in the area, were out of town or otherwise unavailable. So it was soon time to start heading south.

Survivor's latest eliminees Jim Rice and Keith Tollefson have labelled their back-stabbing tribe mate John Cochran as "the worst player ever".
Rice and Tollefson became the first members of Survivor: South Pacific's jury following their Redemption Island duel loss against their Savaii tribe mate Oscar "Ozzy" Lusth.
The pair were victims of Cochrane's shock move at a previous tribal council, when he switched his vote to side with the opposing Upolu tribe, led by Benjamin "Coach" Wade.
Rice, a 35-year-old poker champion from Denver, told nzherald.co.nz that Cochrane chose to make the move because he was "scared" and didn't want to be alone on Redemption Island.
"He might go down as the worst Survivor (player) ever. It just bugs me how bad his strategy was. When somebody's a fan of the game and does something so stupid it just irks me on every level - as a man, as a fan and as a player of the game," he said.
"He was scared. That's all it came down to."
Tollefson, a 26-year-old water treatment technician from Edina, said his tribe put too much faith in Cochrane to make the right decisions.
"His move was basically self preservation and ... to make a name for himself and become a character. There was really no way we could have kept him on our side without him flipping.
"He wanted to make his stamp on Survivor and say, 'I'm going to flip and change the game'."
Rice said there was no thought behind Cochrane's strategy.
"He didn't do one thing redeeming the entire game. I don't have any animosity for him, I feel sorry for the kid on every level. I have no problem with screwing someone over in Survivor, if you've got some kind of strategic advantage.
"But can you think of a way of winning Survivor by stabbing five people in the back? There is no way to do it."
Both contestants admitted they performed poorly in their final duel, which involved balancing large blocks of wood on their arms for extended periods of time.
"I'm a lengthy guy and the problem isn't strength, it's endurance and it had been 25 days up to that point with little food," said Tollefson. "It's a mental problem. It was a difficult challenge."
Rice said he simply stuffed it up.
"That was my worst performance in any duel all season. It was embarrassing."
* Survivor: South Pacific screens on Four every Wednesday night. nzherald.co.nz will interview every contestant as they are eliminated.

whats the point of having a DA when she does nothing to stop violent felons
Posted in the Lowville Forum
1 - 20 of 40 Comments Last updated Jan 12, 2013
#1 Jan 4, 2013
Seriously?! Why does this woman make 6 figures when she barely deserves minimum wage... She spends more time stuffing her face at Jebs with her monkey Caleb than she does doing her actual job... She needs to be voted put... Maybe I can do what she did & bus in a bunch of ppl to vote for her opponent next election... Waste of money & county resources. Mr Young would have actually helped us :/
#2 Jan 4, 2013
Like you, PIG is up to here with condescending, opinionated people whose only demonstrable skill is limited to mind numbing comments.
#3 Jan 4, 2013
I completely agree with you about our current DA. You have stated it all very well!!
#4 Jan 4, 2013
I also completely agree. She needs to go.
#5 Jan 4, 2013
she's a total waste. I thought she'd be good at first, but all she's worried about is the political aspect -- does not make good decisions at all. Mr. Young was a much better prosecutor. Maybe she should start thinking about the people first and not just her "career." However, her career is suffering b/c people in this county see what's going on and what her priorities are. Some of these cases she's screwed up are going to come back and bite her and the county in the @$$!
#6 Jan 4, 2013
What are your complaints specifically?
#7 Jan 4, 2013
How long is she the DA and when is DA up for re-election?
#8 Jan 4, 2013
She don't mess with me...Or any of my PIG friends.
#9 Jan 5, 2013
PLEASE find some examples of her "screw ups" and post them. You may have to dig to find some quotable and tangible specifics, but believe me ... these would go a LONG way to help get this person out!
You would definitely be doing us all a big favor if you could cite some of the information with links and things like that. Sounds like you have some key words with which you could google.
Thank you in advance!
#10 Jan 5, 2013
She is only looking out for herself. She relies on her relatives for info and they are as messed up as she is, She is a DISHONOR to the people of Lewis County. Go back to being a wanna be in Rochester.
#11 Jan 5, 2013
I don't want to air any personal dirty laundry and I don't know who you are or who and/or what case you're referring to. I've just heard that all of these local attorneys are looking out for one another and really don't care about the people they're representing. As long as they can make a deal that they think will uphold their credibility, that's what they're looking for. The DA and her sidekick need to investigate better and treat people the way they would expect to be treated also. In hindsight while looking out for their own @$$e$, they're losing credibility with the people.
#12 Jan 5, 2013
If you need a good lawyer, don't count on anyone in Lewis County. They all know one another and have a history together. You're better off getting someone from Oneida or Onondaga Counties that actually care and the DA's Office may have to listen to.
#13 Jan 5, 2013
From the Lowville posts I've read (specifically those that originate from the News section of topix, and therefore more reliable) it seems like the LEOs are very lenient on the criminals.
It's like they're afraid to hurt anyone's feelings.
With all the light charges coupled with a slow response time, no one needs a good lawyer in LC.
#14 Jan 5, 2013
You're right, airing personal dirty laundry won't help this situation, nether will hearsay. There's got to be something that was in the news that will give an example of this person's character, professionalism or judgement. It there isn't anything that you can actually put your finger on, quote etc, this forum won't help that much.
#15 Jan 6, 2013
The Laurie Hirsh arson trial for instance,look it up,the DA is useless!!!!!!
#16 Jan 6, 2013
Now we're getting somewhere. I had heard murmurings about this. Thanks for that tidbit. I'll see what I can find.
Anymore? The longer the list the better!
#17 Jan 6, 2013
I googled "Laurie Hirsh" arson trial and found no reference.
I found this from 2008
http://www.watertowndailytimes.com/article/20... :
Donald J. Smith,31, of 24335 White Road, Watertown, pleaded guilty to an amended charge of fifth-degree arson, satisfying charges of third-degree arson and fourth-degree conspiracy that were lodged against him. Sentencing was set for April 25. Mr. Smith was charged Nov. 15, 2006, with burning down the trailer home on Higby Road in the town of Greig that he was renting from Lori A. Hirsch. A jury on March 6 acquitted Ms. Hirsch of charges that she enticed Mr. Smith to commit the crime.
Is this it? or is there something more recent? Also, notice this person's name is spelled Lori Hirsch, and maybe not the same person anyway.
You may have some insider information that can't been substantiated in the court of law.
#18 Jan 6, 2013
Mr young had the innate intelligence to not arrest any girl scouts for soliciting and trespass for merely going door to door selling cookies.
The facts do speak for themselves,
#19 Jan 6, 2013
Wait a minute, you wanted Mr Young to arrest girl scouts for going door to door selling cookies? I hope this is a joke.
#20 Jan 6, 2013
Sounds ike the old Republican smear machine is greasing itself.
Tip- Bragging on Mike Young will get you no where.

Hair loss happens, but this thickening shampoo will help prevent you from morphing into a Mr. Clean look-alike. Packed with vitamins and amino acids, it fights the causes of hair thinning and adds fullness, making combovers unnecessary.
This is and OK shampoo. I could tell that it made my hair fuller and it helped it to feel stronger as well. With that said it also dried my hair out a lot and made it feel dry and tangled. Overall, if you have a thick head of hair already this may not be the product for you, but if your hair is thinning I could see how this could be nice.3

I grow Lilium michauxii at Mt. Cuba Center in Greenville, DE and it does well. It is the only native Lily I know that has an intense fragrance much like Viola odorata. It grows in rich, well-drained soil at a pH of 5.8. The flowers vary from one to up to five per stalk. The bloom period is before, and ends just as, Lilium superbum starts. In July, I crossed L. michauxii with L. superbum and have just harvested 200 viable seeds. I will not know what the flowers will be like for another 3-5 years. It is a lovely plant well worth any effort.

Bakery chain monitors both security and hygiene with Panasonic Cameramanager
Komşufırın is a large Turkish bakery chain serving Istanbul's greater area. With a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene control plus the need for security Komşufırın has high demands on video surveillance. The bakery is using Panasonic Cameramanager since 2011.
"We have chosen Cameramanager as our main video surveillance provider for all our bakeries in Turkey. The ease to use a cloud based solution allows us to view footage of any location, anywhere & anytime and to live view video streams if needed.", says Komşufırın's Security Manager.
One solution for all
"Before 2011 all our locations used their own analogue security system. This resulted in a wide variety of different systems with high costs, both in initial investment per store as in maintenance. Because of this fragmentation monitoring the whole chain in one central system was not possible." Panasonic Cameramanager brings storage to the cloud. This way less hardware is needed and all cameras are centralized in one dashboard. Camera permissions can then be set per location making it easy to give the right permissions to sub users.
"Because of a cloud solution our security is centralized and we can let shop owners give the resposibility over their own shop while we can maintain a centrilized monitoring system at the same time. This gives us a lot of extra features compared to the old system for a better prize."
Easy transition
"Because Panasonic Cameramanager is compatible with most IP-cameras the transition was relatively easy",the Security Manager continues. "Our older stores still use the cameras from before 2011. All newer stores have new HD-cameras with higher resolution. In the next few months we are planning to provide every store with new cameras. This can be done because of Panasonic Cameramanager's compatibility with a wide range of IP-cameras."
Multi purpose
For a bakery chain hygiene and quality control have a very high priority. The chain has over 72 locations which can make it hard to maintain a certain standard. With Panasonic Cameramanager - being a cloud solution - it is very easy to monitor all locations from one central dashboard. "Being able to assign cameras to groups we can make groups dedicated to hygiene and quality control. This really helps us to keep those high standards we promise our customers."
Komşufırın also uses the video recordings for training purposes: "Thanks to the high image quality, the long event logging and easy access to specified events we use the video recordings to train new Store Managers. This brings a whole new dimension to our service level standards."
Expanding the business
The bakery chain is always on the lookout for new business and is opening new locations on a regular basis. This ask for a certain degree of flexibility an analogue system can not provide. "With Panasonic Cameramanager no high investment is needed. Next to the camera no expensive hardware is needed and we simply pay for the services used. This makes it really easy to expand our business and a new location is online in a matter of minutes."

All Black season-ending tour contender Andy Ellis remains a faint hope of selection for Canterbury in Saturday's Air New Zealand Cup final.
Ellis, in a race for the third halfback spot in the 35-strong team, suffered a match-ending knee injury in Canterbury's 31-21 semifinal win over Hawke's Bay last weekend.
At first it was feared the injury would not just rule him out of Saturday's provincial decider, but out of tour contention all together.
But All Black coach Graham Henry indicated on Wednesday that the injury was now not as bad as first feared.
Canterbury coach Rob Penney has now bracketed Ellis in the starting halfback spot for Saturday's showdown against Wellington at Westpac Stadium.
If he does not pass a late fitness test, then rookie No 9 Tyson Keats will start for Canterbury.
That would see Steve Alfeld moving onto the bench.
Should Ellis play, he will come against the man most likely to knock him out of the All Black touring party, Wellington's Alby Mathewson.
As expected, Penney has not called up All Black star Daniel Carter for the Air New Zealand Cup final.
Carter made his return to the playing field during Wednesday's match between the All Black training squad and the New Zealand Barbarians.
He was available for selection for Canterbury had any further injury concerns in back-line stocks.
But that has not eventuated.
Penney has also recalled Sean Maitland to replace James Paterson who suffered a serious knee injury against Hawke's Bay.
Greg Somerville will start at prop and Scott Hamilton at fullback in their final matches for Canterbury before joining the overseas exodus to Europe.
Canterbury versus Wellington: 15 Scott Hamilton, 14 Paul Williams, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 Tim Bateman, 11 Sean Maitland, 10 Colin Slade, 9 Andy Ellis/Tyson Keats, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Richie McCaw, 6 Hayden Hopgood, 5 Isaac Ross, 4 Michael Paterson, 3 Greg Somerville, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Wyatt Crocket. Reserves: Steve Fualau,, Owen Franks, Nasi Manu, George Whitelock, Tyson Keats/Steve Alfeld, Hamish Gard, Adam Whitelock.
Lions will 'struggle' against All Blacks, says England coach Jones
London (AFP) - England coach Eddie Jones said the British and Irish Lions will "struggle" to beat the All Blacks in their three-Test series because of the tactics of their coach, Warren Gatland.

Muscles (anal sphincters) that surround the anal canal relax to allow waste to leave your body. Anal cancer is an uncommon type of cancer that occurs in the anal canal. The anal canal is a short tube at the end of your rectum through which stool leaves your body. Anal cancer can cause signs and symptoms such as rectal bleeding and anal pain. Most people with anal cancer are treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.

Box Score | Notes | Highlights
Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Wilpon Complex)
Score: Michigan 6, Oakland 1
Records: U-M (12-12), OU (3-17)
Next U-M Event: Wednesday, March 28 -- at Eastern Michigan (Ypsilanti, Mich.), 5 p.m.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan baseball team ran its winning streak to three games with a 6-1 victory over Oakland on Tuesday afternoon (March 27) at the Wilpon Complex, home of Ray Fisher Stadium. Four U-M pitchers combined on a four-hitter and the top three Wolverines in the order combined for five hits and five runs batted in.
Michigan scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the third inning. Freshman Dylan Delaney (Woodland Hills, Calif./Chaminade) led off the inning with a walk. He traded places with sophomore Cole Martin (Bay City, Mich./John Glenn) on a fielder's choice. Martin moved to third on a double by junior Patrick Biondi (Woodhaven, Mich./Divine Child). Sophomore Michael O'Neill (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy Liberty) brought both runners home on a single to left field.
Oakland cut the lead to 2-1 in the sixth, but the Wolverines answered with some two-out magic in the seventh. Biondi walked with two away. He stole second and scored on a single from freshman Will Drake (Fairfield, Ohio/Fairfield).
Michigan added insurance in the eighth with a three-spot. Senior John Lorenz (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) walked to start the inning. He went to third when senior Coley Crank (Pinole, Calif./Pinole Valley) reached on a fielding error by the Golden Grizzly shortstop. Junior/sophomore John DiLaura (Clinton Twp., Mich./Warren DeLa Salle) then executed a bunt back to the Oakland pitcher. He tried to go home, but Lorenz beat the tag and Michigan led 3-1. Martin reached on an infield single with two away and Biondi brought in two runs with a double down the right field line.
Freshman Trent Szkutnik (Temperance, Mich./Bedford) went four innings for the Maize and Blue, picking up his first career win. He struck out three and allowed just one hit with two walks. Freshman Matt Ogden (Aurora, Colo./Smoky Hill) earned his second save as he struck out a batter and allowed a hit in two innings of relief. The loss went to Jason Hager, who gave up four hits and two runs with three strikeouts and three walks in six innings.
Biondi went 2-for-3 with a pair of runs and a pair of RBI. He also saw a streak of reaching base end at 10 straight at-bats. Drake went 2-for-5 with an RBI and O'Neill had the two-RBI single.
Michigan will make the short trek to Eastern Michigan this Wednesday (March 28). First pitch from Oestrike Stadium in Ypsilanti is scheduled for 5 p.m., which is a change from the original schedule (was 3 p.m.).

CLAIM: Taylor Swift's Dad Gives Harry Styles "Stern Warning"
"Taylor Swift's Father Is Worried That Harry Styles Is Trouble!" blares a headline from Perez Hilton, who claims the boy bander was "given a pretty stern warning" from Swift's dad prior to their recent holiday vacation.
Picking up a story from The Sun — because Hilton hardly ever bothers to do his own "reporting" — the blogger writes, "It appears that Scott Kingsley Swift, who has managed his daughter's career since the start of her whirlwind success, is growing concerned about the amount of heartbreak she's endured in the public eye, and also increasingly weary of just how intense her latest love interest has become!"
Hilton goes on to quote a so-called "insider" as saying that that singer's father "likes Harry but he wants them to slow down and take things easy. It's clear to everyone they are smitten with one another and already talking about marriage."
"He doesn't want them to split up as fast as they've got together and for Taylor to end up devastated," adds the supposed source. First off, Swift and Styles are NOT "talking about marriage." But, more importantly, this alleged conversation between Swift's father and Styles NEVER HAPPENED!
A rep for Swift tells Gossip Cop it's 100 percent untrue that her dad ever gave Styles a "stern warning" about their relationship, and further notes that her father is not "concerned" about the pair's romance.

Preview: Kings at Celtics, Game 38
|01.12.11 at 11:13 am ET
Doc Rivers wasn't happy with his starters Monday night in a loss to the Rockets, so he beat them up in practice on Tuesday. Rivers wanted a live, physical full-court practice with lots of rebounding work, which is part of the reason he elected to hold Kevin Garnett and Kendrick Perkins out of the session.
Rivers is worried that his team is getting too complacent. "We've won games where I didn't think we were mentally ready to play the game, but we were mentally tough enough to fight through it and win the game," Rivers said. "But we've also lost some games where we haven't had that mental toughness."
What concerned him most against Houston was that his team took too many shortcuts. They switched screens when they didn't have to. They looked for the home run play when an easier one would have sufficed.
"We just got to stay on it," Rivers said. "We are a veteran team that knows there's another level that we can play at and we play at it at times. So we just got to stay on top of it." The blame, he said, rested mainly with the starters.
Rivers is taking a calculated gamble that he can get his team back on track by whipping them into shape and refocusing their attention. You may recall that similar motivational tactics had no effect on last season's Celtics. That, along with the injuries, made them an incredibly frustrating team throughout January, February and March.
This year, Rivers has said, is different. It has to be. On the same night they lost to the Rockets, the Miami Heat slipped passed the Celtics for the best record in the Eastern Conference. "I know they're playing well, honest to gosh, I could care less," Rivers said. "I am only concerned with our team."
And he is concerned. Transition defense, pick and roll coverage, offensive execution, all these things must be corrected sooner rather than later and it needs to start tonight against the Kings.
KINGS (8-27, 3-7 last 10 games)
Offensive Rating: 102.7 (Points per 100 possessions, 24th)
Defensive Rating: 108.9 (Points allowed per 100 possessions, 23rd)
Pace: 93.8 (Possessions per game, 9th)
Likely Starters: Beno Udrih, Luther Head, Francisco Garcia, Jason Thompson, DeMarcus Cousins
Injuries: Tyreke Evans (Ankle, questionable)
Offensive Rating: 108.3 (10th)
Defensive Rating: 100.4 (2nd)
Pace: 90.7 (23rd)
Likely Starters: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Glen Davis, Shaquille O'Neal
Injuries: Kevin Garnett (Calf, doubtful), Delonte West (Wrist, out), Kendrick Perkins (Knee, out)
KEY MATCHUP: Shaquille O'Neal vs. DeMarcus Cousins
Strip away the fines for being late, the choke sign he gave Golden State's Reggie Williams just before Cousins himself played a key role in a monumental Kings' collapse, and the all-around knuckleheadness that has defined most of his rookie season and you have a 270-pound, 20-year-old beast in the post.
Cousins has averaged 20 points and nine rebounds in his last seven games, which is an obvious indication of the kind of ability he brings to the game. Shaquille O'Neal, meanwhile, has slowed considerably after a hot start. Shaq is a notoriously hard player to impress, but count on Cousins bringing his best.
1. Will the Celtics respond?
With or without Garnett — and it looks doubtful — the Celtics simply have to play better. The Bulls game was an obvious letdown. The Rockets game, not so much. These are the kind of games they should win handily unless they want to have a repeat of last season. In a way, this has become a statement game for the Celtics.
2. Snowpocalypse 2011
The Kings made it to town after playing an overtime game last night in Washington. Routine is everything for NBA teams and there's no telling how today's blizzard will affect both sides, or how many people will be able to make it to the game.
3. Speed kills
The Celtics seem to have this problem with fast teams. They were pushed to the limit by Minnesota and New York and beaten by Houston, three of the five fastest teams in the league according to pace. The Kings like to push the ball and crash the glass. If the Celtics do the things they should do, i.e. rebound and get back in transition, they will be able to handle Sacramento. If not, it could be another long night.

We are in the midst of some big changes within evangelicalism in North America. For many, the word "evangelical" means "right-wing Republican Christian fundamentalist." So what are those of us who still call ourselves evangelicals, but are made crazy by right-wing fundie Republicans, to do? The course a lot of my peers have taken is to stop using that label, to call refer to themselves as "post-evangelical," or to join the growing ranks of the Nones. I think that doing those things only serves to remove otherwise sane voices from an increasingly insane fundie evangelicalism, and it does nothing to witness to the long (and non-fundamentalist) history of evangelicalism. I've written about that history elsewhere, so I won't rehash it here.
If evangelicalism is to stand any chance of being revived from its present condition, it's going need to change, fast. I think some changes are already occurring, and are coming from forces that have been traditionally underrepresented within evangelicalism. Fortunately, there are groups of people bubbling up from all over North America who aren't quite ready to toss in the towel on evangelicalism's future. Already there are two great gatherings planned for this spring on opposite coasts which plan to wrestle with finding a way forward.
The first of those is in Portland, Oregon in March. As of George Fox Evangelical Seminary's Ministry in Contemporary Culture series, the seminary is hosting a half-day conversation with Rachel Held Evans and Roger Olson around the question "Does Evangelicalism Have a Future?" Then, the next month, across the country in Alexandria, Virginia, hundreds of people are gathering for the inaugural Missio Alliance conference, which has at its heart an exploration of the future of the gospel. George Fox Evangelical Seminary, the place where I work and the institution with which I did my doctoral studies, is a part of Missio Alliance, and is being represented by several speakers including Dr. MaryKate Morse, Dr. A.J. Swoboda, and (soon-to-be Dr.) Bob Hyatt. So, no matter which coast you're on, there is an opportunity for you to join in the conversation and help shape the future of evangelicalism.
So, what does the future of evangelicalism in North America look like? It's hard to know exactly, but here are three of the features that I think must shape its future:
- Non-white – Evangelicalism has been spreading around the globe over the past half-century, due in large part to the emphasis placed by evangelicals on missionary efforts. As a result, evangelical Christianity has taken root and grown in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia. As those regions ramp-up their own missionary sending efforts, they have their eyes set squarely on North America. The future of evangelicalism in North America rests in thriving, predominately non-white faith communities. It is time (past time!) for the white guard of evangelicalism to platform non-white, non-American voices in all matters of theology, ecclesiology, polity, and practice. For more about the present migration of evangelical Christianity from the global South to the North, see Jehu Hanclies' excellent book Beyond Christendom and my review of it.
- Spirit-filled – Evangelicalism elsewhere in the world has a much more charismatic flavor than much of what passes for evangelicalism in North America. This is partly due to the way evangelicalism capitulated to modernity in the 20th century, stripping out anything that smacked of mystery. Instead, it did its level-best to incorporate the tools of scientific inquiry (while remaining wary of science itself) into developing methods of studying the Bible and defending its claims. The Holy Spirit became the red-headed step-child of the Trinity, subordinated to a tyrannical Father and a perpetually sacrificed Son. The result is a Christianity based on propositions and intellectual assent. The future of evangelicalism will be animated by the Holy Spirit, imbued with a fresh sense of the mystery of the gospel, especially in traditions that have been largely non-charismatic. We stand on the cusp of the Third Great Awakening.
- Female – Evangelicalism in North America has been dominated by (mostly white) male voices. That is changing and changing quickly. We need more women to lead evangelicalism. Fortunately, some are starting to be heard, despite forces that would attempt to drown them out. I'm deeply indebted to women like Rachel Held Evans, Sarah Bessey, Suzannah Paul for leading the conversation. The challenge to white guys like me is to find ways to take the power and privilege we've been handed, and give that away to voices that are different from our own. The future of evangelicalism is with the growing number of women who will rise into positions of leadership and scholarship, and the men who will get out of the way for them.
I'm sure there are more things you could add to this list, or maybe features with which you disagree. Either way, I'd love to hear what you think the future of evangelicalism is going to look like.

2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT 4X4-BOX COVER for $24,999
View 81 more Chevrolet Silverado 1500 listings.
Big trucks are a big deal in Canada.
Generous factory incentives, lots of new product and a slowly rebounding economy saw sales of light-duty trucks rise by 14 per cent in 2013 compared to the year before, taking a 56-per-cent share of the overall new-vehicle market.
That's why the most important new model this year for General Motors' Chevrolet brand isn't its sophisticated Corvette sports car but its plebeian Silverado full-sized pickup truck.
Just like its domestic rivals at Ford, Ram, andsister brand GMC, Chevrolet's largest vehicle -- this all-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado -- is its biggest seller.
Despite Canadian consumers' affections for small cars, Chevy's full-size pickup truck outsells its next bestseller -- the compact Cruze sedan.
And while many of the two-door, regular cab $27,930 (all prices include freight and pre-delivery inspection fees) 2014 Silverados Chevy will sell this year will be to carpenters and plumbers who need a basic work truck, plenty will also be sold as family vehicles, such as my $51,455 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab LT 4x4 tester.
If you're shocked my Silverado rang in at twice the price of the base model, you haven't been shopping for a big truck in a while.
Opting for the four-door Crew Cab version added $5,965.
The LT trim package (highlighted by remote keyless entry, heated outside mirrors, Chevrolet MyLink colour display and a leather-wrapped steering wheel/cruise controls) added another $4,780.
And what's the point of having a big truck without a big V8 engine ($1,225)? Or all-wheel-drive ($4,200)?
Throw in some other car-like features and it doesn't take too long before your big Chevy truck has ballooned in price.
Let's get one thing straight: I am not a "truck guy."
I live in the city where my streets are level and paved, and (eventually) plowed.
I have no toys to tow. And trips to the hardware store are for light bulbs, not two-by-fours.
So the need for a full-size, four-wheel-drive pickup truck is virtually zero.
Still, the new Silverado impressed me with its comfortable ride and roomy and functional interior.
With an optional front centre console that's chock full of storage compartments and places to plug in a plethora of electronic gadgets, my 2014 Silverado Crew Cab became an extremely roomy five-seater instead of its normal six-passenger capacity.
While the Chevrolet's interior design isn't as stylish as you'll find in the Ram 1500, all the Silverado's knobs and buttons have a quality feel.
From the driver's seat, though, you'll need to be careful parking in tight, urban parking lots. The new Silverado's high cowl and wide roof pillars hinder outward visibility.
And if you want to treat your truck like a big sedan, make sure you get a rear-bed tonneau cover.
That is, unless you like shovelling snow from your truck's bed in the winter or don't mind leaving any valuables (like sports gear) exposed.
For 2014, the all-new Silverado comes with a trifecta of all-new six- and eight-cylinder engines.
In what will likely be the most popular choice, my Silverado Crew Cab was powered by a 5.3-litre V8, sitting between a 4.3L V6 and 6.2L V8.
Mated to a six-speed automatic, the run from rest to 100 kilometres per hour takes around seven seconds.
While rivals are opting for force-induced downsized engines, active aerodynamics or eight-speed autoboxes, Chevrolet is relying on cylinder-deactivation -- turning its 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque V8 into a V4 during high loads -- to address customers and governments looking for more fuel-efficient big trucks.
Even so, there are few gains in fuel economy over the Silverado's 285-hp V6.
Both engines are rated at 9.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway; the six scores 12.6 in the city, the eight is rated at 13.3. (A comparable Ram 1500 scores a better 14.6 / 9.8.)
Needless to say, I recorded nowhere near these estimates, with an average of 18.1 L/100 km during my week with the big Chevy truck where plenty of snowfall left me leaving the Silverado's 4WD in Auto most of the time.
The throaty thrum from the Silverado's V8 could be to blame for my lead-foot numbers.
That, and an overall ride and handling experience that ventured to the luxury side of the segment.
Despite a traditional leaf-sprung rear suspension (instead of the Ram's carlike coil-over independent setup), the Chevy truck's long wheelbase smothers potholes and remains composed over larger dips on the road.
The cabin is also near-luxury-car-quiet at highway speeds and is even calmer when the cylinder deactivation tech shuts down half the engine.
Even the Silverado's steering has some off-centre weight and is relatively accurate for such a large vehicle.
Admittedly, when compared to the Ram 1500 4x4 Quad Cab Outdoorsman I drove a few months back, the new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab LT 4x4 is less refined overall.
If I suddenly bought a Jet Ski or took up carpentry, this urban truck-buyer would still pop for the Ram.
No doubt, though, traditional truck buyers will appreciate Chevrolet's conservative approach, leaving the Silverado at the top of Chevrolet's sales charts for the foreseeable future.

Lexus unveiled the 2013 Lexus GS 350 and Infiniti chose Pebble Beach to unveil the 2013 Infiniti JX Concept. GM also unveiled a new concept at the show, the Cadillac Ciel Concept, pronounced "C-L," the French translation for sky.
The Cadillac Ciel concept is a four-door, four-seat convertible that takes Cadillac's Art & Science design philosophy to new heights.
"Large, expressive luxury is innate to Cadillac and the Ciel recalls that heritage, while suggesting where the brand can go in the future," said Clay Dean, global design director for Cadillac. "Authentic luxury is driven by experiences, not just products, and Ciel is about the experience of the journey."
The Cadillac Ciel concept is powered by a twin-turbocharged version of Cadillac's 3.6L direct-injection V6 mated to a hybrid system with a lithium-ion battery. The unveiling of the concept at Pebble Beach was the perfect spot since, the GM team behind the Ciel envisioned driving California's Highway 1 in an open car while the sun sets, from Big Sur north to Monterey.
"The Ciel is about the romance of the drive," said Dean. "It emulates the great touring cars seen on the greens at Pebble Beach, but with a modern flair that projects Cadillac's vision for the future."

BASF Predicts Growth in 2013 as Earnings Buoyed by PlasticsSheenagh Matthews
BASF SE forecast growth in earnings and sales this year after demand for plastics used to lighten cars and higher oil production buoyed quarterly earnings.
Earnings before interest, tax and one-time items increased 18 percent to 1.8 billion euros ($2.4 billion) in the fourth quarter, the company said today, in line with analysts' estimates. The stock dropped as much as 3.7 percent as the proposed dividend was less than estimated by some analysts and European stock markets tumbled on concern Italy's elections will lead to renewed market turmoil.
Chief Executive Officer Kurt Bock is betting economic conditions will improve and that the world's biggest chemical company will benefit from its shift to newer technologies such as battery materials for electric cars. Bock said today the Ludwigshafen, Germany-based company will also have to become more efficient to help it boost annual earnings. BASF proposed an annual dividend of 2.60 euros per share.
"The outlook is positive, although I would be careful because they didn't give any specific figures," Oliver Schwarz, an analyst at MM Warburg in Hamburg, said today by phone. "The dividend is less than I had expected." Schwarz, who rates BASF buy, had forecast a payout of 2.70 euros.
The stock declined as much as 2.76 euros to 72.25 euros and was down 3.6 percent as of 9:17 a.m. Before today, the shares had gained 19 percent in six months, boosting the company's market value to 68.9 billion euros. BASF has the largest weighting on Germany's benchmark DAX index, which gained 10 percent in the same period.
Libyan Oil
Quarterly sales rose 9 percent to 19.6 billion euros compared with a 19 billion-euro estimate. Net income declined 13 percent to 980 million euros as the restart of oil production in Libya raised the company's tax bill. Oil production in the country had been halted between February and October in 2011 because of political unrest.
BASF today forecast world economic growth will accelerate to 2.4 percent from 2.2 percent last year, with chemical production growing even faster at 3.6 percent.
"The expected increase in demand, together with measures to improve operational excellence and raise efficiency" will contribute to a gain in earnings and sales this year, Bock said in today's statement. "Innovations are the basis of future growth and thus lie at the core of our competitiveness."
Bock, who became CEO in May 2011, has pledged to generate a quarter of sales from products that are less than 10 years old by the end of the decade. He's helping drive that goal by buying four battery-material companies as well as seed-treatment maker Becker Underwood Inc. and drug-ingredient supplier Pronova BioPharma ASA.
