Egypt business activity shrinks in May: PMI
by June 3, 2014 8:14 am 19 views0
This is according to a poll showed on Tuesday that the economy remains fragile as former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is set to become the country's next president.

Egypt's economy has been hit by more than three years of political and economic turmoil after the 2011 uprising against veteran autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
(READ MORE: African Union suspends Egypt over dethroned president)
The government is walking a fine line in an attempt to boost revenues and cut a high deficit at the same time as luring investors into the country.
The HSBC Egypt Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for the non-oil private sector stood at 48.7 points in May, down from 49.5 in April.
(READ MORE: Egypt business activity flat in February: PMI)
Readings above 50 indicate expansion, while those below 50 point to contraction. The index had been below 50 for 13 months through October.
"It's another disappointing number and contains no signs that the economy is starting to recover – output is weak, new orders are falling and employment is contracting," said Simon Williams, Chief Economist for the Middle East at HSBC.
"This is the eighteenth time in the past 20 months that the PMI has printed below 50 – a protracted and deep slump in activity that underscores the scale of the challenges the new regime faces as it seeks to revive the country's economic fortunes."
Economic plans announced so far have not spelled out many details of how Sisi intends to boost growth.
Egypt's economy is set to grow only about 2 per cent this fiscal year through to end-June, with a budget deficit of around 11-12 per cent of gross domestic product forecast for this and the next fiscal year.
The PMI survey of around 350 private-sector firms showed output contracting for the second time since January, with the related subindex falling to 47.5 points in May from 49.8 a month earlier.
The subindex for new orders edged further into contraction territory at 48.5 points, down from 49.3 points in April.
New export orders fell at a slower rate, with the subindex at 47 points compared with April's 46.5 points.
Egypt's central bank had allowed the Egyptian pound to weaken against the dollar in May, narrowing the gap between official and black market rates at a time when businesses want clarity on the direction of the currency.
Businesses cut staff in May at a faster pace than in April. Output prices fell with that subindex at 49.3 points after stagnating in April. Input prices rose again, squeezing company margins, albeit more slowly than in April.
Egypt's annual core inflation rate, which strips out subsidised goods and volatile items including fruit and vegetables, slowed to 9.11 per cent in April from 9.9 per cent in March, the central bank said last month.

Transport for London is spending £3.7billion on 191 new trains for the Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City, Circle and District lines by 2012. But Westminster council has signalled its opposition to the "crude" design of an electricity substation needed to power the fleet.
TfL wants to build it near Edgware Road station but the council is set to refuse permission, claiming the modern building will be "injurious to the amenity of the neighbourhood". It was hoped work on the substation would start this year but planners are recommending permission be refused tomorrow night.

Dusseldorf to Frankfurt
Today I bus to Frankfurt. I've been there before a long time ago when I worked for Penguins doing the book fair. I'd seen a little of the city then but it has grown in stature since and is more of a financial hub. It laden with foreigners it's not unlikeable though and has a lively atmosphere. Like Berlin there are some amazing smells around the city but also like ...
Main Canal/River
... water and then wood on top. Very pretty stone color. We had to quit about half way, we were both starving, no breakfast...and not feeling so great. So, we popped into a cafe and had some cafe au latte and a danish and just chilled. It was very modern and clean and nice. We walked around the town a little, never saw the glass blowing shops?? After lunch ...
Airport Workout and Adventure
... to save my money and use the voucher. The shower attendant gives you a towel and a small bottle of shampoo, and then you are taken to your own shower room with a sink and a place for your luggage and then you are free to partake in one of the small pleasures in life: washing all your airport stress away! At least for a little while. I took my time, reapplied makeup (just because I could) and rearranged my carry-ons.
Welcome to Frankfurt
We arrived right around dawn at about 8 am and coasted through customs/immigration. Our flight was pretty good although sleep was pretty much only gained in trace amounts. There were a couple of babies and talkative passengers who kept all of us in the back of the plane "entertained." After getting our rail pass activated, we were ready to get moving on the three hour trip to our first destination, Rothenburg. :-) ...
Stranded in Strasburg
... rebuilt and moved on. Unlike Berlin and Munich, there is very little historical evidence that a fierce battle ever occurred here. When talking with local citizen we were able to find out much information. We were able to tour a castle from the Holy Roman Empire that the Germans had claimed . We could not get any affirmation if this is where General Lambert had ran his battle from. Beside that, the only other thing we ...

English Major
Am I the only one who gets that question? Because seriously, I get it ALL the time.
DISCLAIMER: I am not saying there is anything wrong with being an English teacher! I simply wish people wouldn't always assume that's the only thing you can do with a degree in English.
No, I do not want to be an English teacher!
When people find out what my major is, that's always the question. "So, do you want to be an English teacher?" Why do so many people assume that the only thing English majors ever want to do is teach?
But, just to be polite, I always laugh and reply, "No, I don't want to be an English teacher." I've learned the question is invariably, "Well, why not?" so before they have to trouble themselves with posing the question, I hastily interject, "I wouldn't have the patience." Which is completely untrue, because there are few things that require as much patience as staring at a blank screen and knowing that within an hour, several thousand words will have to magically appear.
Do you want to know what I want to do? What I really, really, really, indescribably, uncontrollably want to do? I want to write novels. I want to write spoken word. I want to write poetry and lyrics and prose and essays and journal entries. I want to live my life for that 3:00 a.m. moment, where by all accounts I should be asleep, but every fiber of my being is alive with the knowledge that tomorrow, Sir Edumnd and Lady Liria are going to be dueling across the pages of my newest novel. I want to live for that moment when I'm shaking violently and have to lean against the wall, because I know beyond any shadow of any doubt what I have to write, and that I have to write it now. I want to live for that moment when I accidentally write my current main character's name at the top of a homework sheet, because I'm so caught up in her mind.
To say I am an "English" major is so misleading. My passion for writing isn't structured. It doesn't need citations. I don't use outlines, and nothing I write is ever a complete draft, because there's always something that can be changed, someplace that needs alliteration or metaphor or onomotopaeia. Do you know what my major ought to be called? Not just Creative Writing, but Passionate Writing. Writing that convinced my friend to keep from self-harm. Writing that caused a girl with an eating disorder to reevaluate her eating habits. Writing that kept another friend from losing faith. Writing that tears out my heart, chunk by chunk, writing that bleeds words and splatters parts of my soul all over the page. Writing that comes from a place deep within I never even used to know existed. Writing that is my all, my everything, so much so that going without writing one day gives me withdrawal symptoms and makes me want to tear my hair out because everything that's coming from my fingers onto the paper is so personal and so real and so vulnerable that I just want to weep and cry out "Mercy! Mercy!" and sometimes even makes me want to shout "Make it go away, make the writing go away! I can't handle it anymore!"
I still go back to it, every single hour of every single day.
I know this sounds melodramatic, but it's true. The world is melodramatic, you see. We cower in fear of our potential; we tremor in the face of redemption. We retch from our own wickedness and bear such heavy burdens upon such fragile shoulders. We wrap our arms around love, we fall in love with the wrong people, we realize that who we fall in love with often says something about ourselves.
And I want to write it. With everything I am, I want to write it.
I don't want to be an English teacher.

During his daily morning Mass, the Pope talked about preaching, explaining that some Christians reject the message simply because they reject the messenger. Reflecting on today's Gospel, the Pope said this explains why John the Baptist and Jesus were rejected, despite their truthful words.
"These Christians are closed, they are trapped, sad ... these Christians are not free. Why? Because they are afraid of the freedom of the Holy Spirit, which comes through preaching. This, then, is the scandal of preaching, of which St. Paul spoke: the scandal of preaching that ends in the scandal of the Cross."
The Pope then added that God also speaks through sinful people and this, he said, is sometimes hard to accept by some Christians. But it's the freedom of preaching, he explained, that makes the Church grow.
Source: Vatican Radio
In his remarks to the faithful following the readings of the day, Pope Francis focused on the day's Gospel, drawn from that according to St Matthew (11:16-19). There, Jesus compares the generation of his time to always unhappy children, explaining that they were, "not open to the Word of God." Their refusal, he explained, was not of the message, but of the messenger. "They reject John the Baptist," he said, who came, "neither eating nor drinking ," saying of him that he was "a man possessed." They reject Jesus because they say, "He is a glutton, a drunkard, a friend of publicans and sinners." They always have a reason to criticize the preacher:
"The people of that time preferred to take refuge in a more elaborate religion: in the moral precepts, such as the group of Pharisees; in political compromise, as the Sadducees; in social revolution, as the zealots; in gnostic spirituality, such as Essenes. They were [happy] with their clean, well-polished system. The preacher, however, was not [so pleased]. Jesus reminded them: 'Your fathers did the same with the prophets.' The people of God have a certain allergy to the preachers of the Word: they persecuted the prophets, [even] killed them."
The Pope went on to say that these people claimed to accept the truth of revelation, "but the preacher, preaching, no. They prefer a life caged in their precepts, in their compromises, in their revolutionary plans or in their [disembodied] spirituality." They are those Christians, who are always discontented with what preachers say:
"These Christians are closed, they are trapped, sad ... these Christians are not free. Why? Because they are afraid of the freedom of the Holy Spirit, which comes through preaching. This, then, is the scandal of preaching, of which St. Paul spoke: the scandal of preaching that ends in the scandal of the Cross. That God should speak to us through men with limits , sinful men, scandalizes: and what scandalizes even more is that that God should speak to us and save us by way of a man who says he is the Son of God but ends [his life] as a criminal. That scandalizes."
"These sad Christians," said Pope Francis, "do not believe in the Holy Spirit , do not believe in the freedom that comes from preaching, which admonishes you, teaches you – slaps you , as well – but it is the very freedom that makes the Church grow.":
"Seeing these children who are afraid to dance, to cry, [who are] afraid of everything, who ask for certainty in all things, I think of these sad Christians, who always criticize the preachers of the Truth, because they are afraid to open the door to the Holy Spirit. Let us pray for them, and pray also for ourselves, that we do not become sad Christians, cutting off the freedom of the Holy Spirit to come to us through the scandal of preaching."

Our MPs might consider casinos in schools so future adults can learn about this experience for the benefit of society.

1997: "Education, education, education", and £700m spent on the Dome (Letters, January 31). 2007: British Library funds cut, to help pay for the Olympics. And still Labour MPs have not grasped the mediocrity of Blair?

So, the Catholic Church has until the end of 2008 to comply with non-discrimination laws or they will lose access to public funds (Report, January 30)? As a practising Christian, I assume that the same ultimatum will be given to state-financed faith schools like the London Oratory when they persist in discriminating in favour of minute sections of society. Woodbridge, Suffolk · Mark Wallinger explains oxymoronically that he has made a "literal interpretation" of a "1km exclusion zone", which I have shown does not exist (Letters, January 29). I have nominated him for the Plain English Campaign's Golden Bull Award, given for the year's worst examples of gobbledegook. The press release (dated January 15) on the Tate website clearly shows the organisers believed that Wallinger's black line did in fact show the area where unauthorised demonstrations were prohibited.

Throughout New York Fashion Week, I kept waiting for the harem-pant moment. For those who haven't been following Downton Abbey (pity, that), an early episode of the hit show ends with Lady Sybil, the youngest daughter of the aristocratic Crawley family, showing off the latest fashion circa 1913: exotic pantaloons in the style of Paul Poiret. Cut to the facial expressions of everyone in the room, enhanced by the swell of strings; such awe was something I longed to feel at some point along the eight days and 50-plus shows that made up my fall/ winter 2012 NYFW calendar.
So was there anything as comparatively unprecedented, as utterly shocking? Not exactly – and I'm not sure fashion is even capable of that today (incidentally, pants seem nowhere near as popular as dresses and full skirts). Marc Jacobs came the closest with his outer-limit eccentricity and underlying wistfulness.
But certainly, there were many other compelling themes and talking points to come out of New York. These, when taken together, inch fashion toward that visceral reaction.
Anyway, Ralph Lauren addressed the Downton mania by opening the show with the series' sweeping score, a fitting accompaniment to his first grouping: aristo-suiting that was one pocket watch shy of revisionist costume.
Plum perfect
Derek Lam's burgundies vied with Peter Som's Bordeaux. Additional tonal variations ranged from Alexander Wang's intense oxblood to Oscar de la Renta's sparkling ruby. By a certain point, this spectrum of deep reds and fruity purples became notable only if absent from a collection. Designers treated these shades as neutrals – fresher than chocolate brown and as wearable as black. But why wait until fall? Anna Wintour certainly isn't; on the final day of NYFW, she appeared fully committed to burgundy, from her sharp suit to her stiletto boot.
Top tiers
Though Jacobs and Canadian Jeremy Laing offered decidedly individual takes on layering, the more I thought about them, the more I found similarities. Both piled layer atop layer – beginning with cropped stoles and funnel capes, respectively – and played with volume, but the proportions of either collection never erred.
Printed matters
Designers ditched the darker florals this season, introducing motifs that emphasized punchy colour, playful patterns or often both. Some patterns drew from decorative templates (Calla's digitally illustrated flora, Preen's botanicals, Mara Hoffman and Joseph Altuzarra's textile interpretations), while others leaned toward kooky (Thakoon's hearts and lips, de la Renta's painted bijoux, NAHM's hieroglyphic cartoon figures, Som's snuggling cats). At either extreme: Jeremy Scott's Bart Simpson heads and Rodarte's haunting hands.
Word watch part 1: Bonded
It refers to a process of sealing fabric panels, rather than stitching them. And the effect is a seamless sculpting – particularly of leather – that Céline nailed so flawlessly for spring and was echoed throughout the Fall New York collections (see Som, Lam, Wang and Tommy Hilfiger). For Ports 1961 designer Fiona Cibani, bonding cashmere to silk helped her achieve fluid sweater shapes that mimicked blown glass.
Word watch part 2: Lustrous
Instead of sequins and little sparkly bits, designers are moving toward a smoother, overall-surface shine. All that gold lamé! Lauren, Jason Wu, Naeem Khan, Marchesa and J. Mendel were all guilty of such decadence, while Prabal Gurung and Jacobs showed fabrics with oil-slick iridescence and holographic treatments. It felt a bit like a post-1-per-cent message. We can be living in a time of encouraged austerity without surrendering the flamboyance.
Hats on
The hits: Floppy Dr. Seuss-meets- Jamiroquai fur à la Jacobs and moulded crested caps from Ohne Titel. The misses: Wu's gold-knobbed toppers and Anna Sui's owl tuques. The honourable mentions: Stephen Jones's angular fedoras for Donna Karan and the knit Mohawks from Skaist-Taylor (the original founders of Juicy Couture).
Now that former wunderkinder Wu, Wang, Gurung and Altuzarra have stepped over to the established side, I have my eye on Kimberly Ovitz, Chadwick Bell, Preen and Sophie Theallet.
As for the singular standouts of the week, the pieces that I think retailers should carry and that consumers should remember, if not to buy than because they represent a wide-ranging primer for fall/winter 2012, include: de la Renta's teal velvet floral appliqué gown, Tess Giberson's quilted scarf, the elongating "moulded seam" trousers from Gurung, Lam's laser-cut leather turtleneck and black-and-white paisley jacquard dress, a "mohair lace" skirt by Kors, Lacoste's leather removable-zippered-sleeve jacket, Proenza Schouler's brocade minidress, J. Mendel's foray into handbags: a tote trimmed in fur, J. Crew's neon tangerine Manolos (yes, that Manolo), a belted onyx coat by Calvin Klein and, finally, one of Michael Bastian's resin boutonnieres.Report Typo/Error

Another area of weakness, and one that scuppers any ideas of using the FZ31Z on the move, is the poor battery life. In the MobileMark 2007 Productivity test it manages just in excess of two and a quarter hours, with the Reader and DVD tests coming in at two hours and 26 minutes and a very poor one hour and thirty-seven minutes. None of these results compares favourably to what we'd normally expect and without doubt the extra power required for the double lamp backlight has a major part to play here.
Application performance is far more positive. In most tests the FZ31Z performed very well, though as noted previously the slow hard drive means it gets bogged down when dealing with multiple tasks. Our in-house tests also showed that batch image editing and video creation is very fast, so anyone interested in photo editing or video authoring will find this machine more than capable.
But this performance isn't enough to assuage some doubts we have about this particular model. Though the screen is without doubt a good one, the cost in battery life for a 15.4in notebook is little too high for comfort. This puts a significant dent in any advantage it might have over larger 17+ inch notebooks that have a similar multimedia focus but benefit from generally superior audio and larger viewable area.
Alternatively, if it's a 15.4in you really want, you're probably better off looking at the likes of the Dell XPS 1530. This is available with Blu-ray a drive and though its speakers are equally unimpressive, it is arguably more attractive and obviously benefits from the customisation possible with Dell. Moreover, it's also slightly cheaper at £940 inc. VAT for similar components and a larger and faster 320GB 5400rpm hard drive. Plus, with the money saved, you could upgrade to a 1,440 x 900 or even 1,920 x 1,200 resolution display.
On the flip side, there are other notebooks in the FZ range, such as the VGN-FZ38M, which arguably offer a better balance of features and price. Though lacking the high colour display, it won't suffer the battery life gremlins seen here and the lack of faster graphics isn't a huge loss in the greater scheme of things.
Despite initially impressing with smart design and good features, the FZ31Z is let down by poor battery life and appalling integrated speakers. It's still a good machine in many respects, but other 15.4 inchers offer a better balance for less money, while larger notebooks can boast stronger multimedia credentials.
anyone care to mention the nvidia gfx card that is likey to fail, watching bluray movies. Sony doesnt want to give extra warranty like HP and Dell !!! So watch out you may only have a years use and it will turn into a brick.
Even though advertised as 64 bit ready there still are no drivers released for 64 bit, so you're stuck at 32 bit. Sold with 4 GB memory but on 32 bit systems only 3 GB works...
Battery life is poor, wireless connection not great. Sexy laptop sure, but Sony service has put me off Sony products for life. Hardware virtualization also disabled on all Vaio's and seeing as I purchased the laptops for running concurrent VPC's... Painfull mistake.

How Photography Unleashed My Teen's Inner Traveler
By Kendall Hunter
What would you do if you knew you would have just enough money to make sure you and your family would be OK for the next four years. I'm not talking buckets of cash, just enough to allow you to think about what really matters, not so much that you get distracted and take your eye off the ball. I asked myself that a year ago and this is how I found myself, post-divorce, with my two daughters in Southeast Asia, happier than I had been in years.
My daughters were raised in Zurich, Switzerland and at the ages of nine and 11, after their father and I divorced, we moved to where I grew up, the resort town of Banff in the Canadian Rockies. Sadie and Jemima are not naive to cultural differences. That said, they are used to the pristine playgrounds they've called home.
Research for a book I'm working on took my two daughters and me to Chiang Mai, Thailand. Photojournalists whom I had to interview were teaching at the Foundry Photojournalism Workshop and my girls were invited to join. They were the youngest to have ever taken the course and were asked to pursue a subject for the week and come up with a few strong shots.
puppies credit: Sadie Maycock
Sadie chose street dogs and Jemima, orphanages. As most of the course was outside the classroom, unsupervised, the girls needed my hands-on support. I wasn't about to turn them loose, on their own, on the streets of Chiang Mai so I ended up jumping taxis with them to orphanages, dog shelters and markets where puppies were being sold like souvenirs. Most of the time, I had my old camera bag (same one I used in South Africa when I worked as a photojournalist some 18 years ago) slung over my shoulder, thinking I may take a shot or two.
Had I known the amount of my own time that would be taken up by their course when it was suggested they enroll, I probably would have said no. Added to their individual work, their instructor chose a group assignment of monks. My interviews readily took secondary status as the girls' assignments took shape.
"I was up at 5:30 with my kids this morning photographing monks taking alms," I told my first interview, Andrea Bruce, over coffee at her hotel.
credit: Jemima Maycock
I had forgotten what it felt like, to be plugged into everything around me, camera in hand, completely in the moment. I was having so much fun…and there, in my lens were my kids, shooting away too. It was amazing.
Several times during that week in Northern Thailand, emotions arose that mimicked those I felt when I worked as a photojournalist before having children. I was reminded how invigorating it is to learn about another country, its story and its people. It wasn't about me, but something so much larger. Back then, I ached to return home changed in some way, big or small, altered by being exposed to completely different people and events. I wanted this for my children. Yet somehow I forgot, until my daughters helped me to remember.
"I love the world so much more now because I'm taking pictures," Sadie, my then 14-year-old told me, as we sat waiting for our lunch one day.
Following the workshop, we left Thailand for Myanmar—a land seemingly lost in time but on the precipice of change. Literally everywhere we looked, was a photo. My kids weren't simply walking through it, they were framing it; most importantly they were noticing beauty, irony and neglect. Essentially, my daughters were understanding another country for what it was. As a result, their lives were enriched.
I made the decision to remove them from their comfort zone, not in a shocking or traumatic way but with a camera in hand, emboldened by the communicative tool it can be. Through the incredible opportunity of connecting to the world in a creative way, they'll forever be seeing people and cultures in a more intimate light, no matter what they end up doing in life.
credit: Kendall Hunter
When I was younger and imagined having children, I didn't picture myself replacing a camera bag for a diaper bag. Instead, I envisioned them on my back as I held the small black box to the world allowing it to guide and teach us. This education has come later in life, perhaps at a time my daughters can fully appreciate its gift. Most importantly, I have given them the gift to increasingly fall in love with the intriguing world in which we live.

NCSF's 2014 Roundup
NCSF's 2014 Roundup 2014 has been a year of progress for NCSF and for people who are kinky and nonmonogamous. The national conversation about gay marriage, consent, and even Fifty Shades of Grey are transforming mainstream attitudes. The change in the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5 stating that BDSM is a healthy form of sexual expression has also had a significant impact on both the courts and public opinion about kink. Education Outreach Project The NCSF Board Members and presenters gave Education Outreach Project workshops and tabled at 36 events in 2014 (compared to 22 in 2013), with a…

NCSF is the national advocate for consensual adult sexual expression. Why kink? There has been a significant interest in BDSM sparked by the wildly successful Fifty Shades of Grey. Similar topics appeared in recent TV Shows from CSI to House to Desperate Housewives, and even animated shows such as American Dad. Furthermore many people, married and otherwise, are discovering and practicing non-monogamy. From polyamory to swinging to open relationships, a notable percentage of the public are shifting their relationship parameters in an honest…

We would need a lot more information both about the network, how it is used, the users, the services and which parts you mean. From your question about load balancing it sounsd like you are actually asking about your WAN connection and not about anything on the LAN itself. Is that correct?

D.C. Council member Jim Graham sat in his office, an envelope stuffed with $2,600 in his hands. He had just been given the cash by a trusted aide, who said it came from a businessman.
After a minute or so, Graham said, he shut the flap, secured it with tape, and initialed and dated the envelope. As he handed it back on that July afternoon in 2009, Graham (D-Ward 1) told his chief of staff, Ted G. Loza, to return it immediately.
"I think I saw that in a movie someplace, where you have to initial it," Graham said in an interview Wednesday. Aspects of the encounter first emerged in federal court Tuesday during a sentencing hearing for Loza.
Loza, the former chief of staff who passed Graham the money, has pleaded guilty to corruption charges tied to his acceptance of $1,500 in cash gifts from an FBI informant — the same man who had asked him to give the cash to Graham.
Graham said that he was shocked by the attempted payment and that he did not report the matter to authorities. In retrospect, he said, he should have. But he insists he never suspected that the cash or his aide were connected to illegal activity. "I trusted him," Graham said of Loza. "I was angry at him, though."
What Graham didn't know as he examined the envelope was that the money was really from the FBI. The attempted payment illustrates how investigators working a long-running, wide-ranging inquiry into the D.C. government's ties to the taxi industry tested the longtime council member.
Graham has not been charged with any crimes related to the probe, which has resulted in the arrests of more than three dozen people — mostly would-be taxi drivers seeking to illegally buy licenses. Loza, Graham's longtime confidante, is the highest-ranking D.C. official to be ensnared.
That federal agents had focused on Graham in their inquiry was widely known, but little has emerged about the government's efforts to investigate him. As recently as this week, federal authorities refused to say whether Graham was, or is, a target of their inquest into the taxi industry, code-named "Cash Cab."
But Graham said the money wasn't the FBI's only attempt to see whether he was corrupt. Agents tapped his phones, he said. And, he says, an undercover agent posing as an investor offered him a lavish trip to Miami to discuss potential projects in the District. "I had no idea why they wanted me to go to Miami to discuss that," Graham said. "That's why I said no."
At his 63rd birthday party in 2008, Graham said, he accepted a colorful portrait of himself as a gift from the Ethiopian community. He said he later learned that the FBI had paid for it. Tempted to report the painting on disclosure statements as an "unsolicited gift" from the FBI, Graham said he thought better of it. "I was advised not to antagonize them further," said Graham, who keeps the portrait in a closet.
William Miller, a spokesman for the District's U.S. attorney's office, declined to comment "on any aspects" of the case. FBI agent Kate Schweit, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Washington Field Office, also declined to comment.
The disclosure of the cash payment and Loza's sentencing, which is to continue this month, come at a challenging time for elected officials in the District. Mayor Vincent C. Gray (D) has been dogged by accusations that his 2010 election campaign struck a deal with a fellow candidate and rewarded the man with a job and cash payments. D.C. Council Chairman Kwame R. Brown (D) is under investigation for unreported fundraising from his 2008 campaign, and questions remain about his role in having the city government procure the leases of two expensive sport-utility vehicles. And council member Harry Thomas Jr. (D-Ward 5) has been accused of diverting hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars and charity funds for personal use.
Legal experts said Graham did not appear to break the law in failing to alert authorities to the attempted cash payment. In not doing so, however, he opened the door to questions about his conduct. The D.C. Council's ethics code urges its members to report activity that they know or "should know" might be illegal.
"I can make that argument he was under no obligation to report it because it's not clear on its face what it is," said Steven Levin, a former federal prosecutor who focused on public corruption matters. "It's not clear it's bribery. It's not clear it's a thank-you. It's not clear it's a campaign contribution. Out of an abundance of caution, a smart councilman should have reported it, if only to protect himself from later accusations."
The FBI got close to Graham through an FBI informant named Abdulaziz Kamus, an advocate for Ethiopian taxi drivers and a close associate of powerful figures in the D.C. taxi industry. Kamus, who pleaded guilty to bribery and conspiracy charges for his role in the influence-buying scheme, allowed agents to secretly record him giving cash to Loza while in his car as he sought legislation beneficial to some in the taxi industry.
After accepting a $1,000 "Father's Day" present from Kamus, Loza asked the man: "What do you want me to do? What do you want me . . . I'll talk to Graham."
A month later, again in Kamus's car, the informant gave Loza $500 after the aide handed him copies of taxi legislation that had just been introduced by his boss.
Kamus then passed Loza an envelope filled with cash. "And this is for council member Graham," he told Loza, "for introducing, you know, the legislation."
Kamus told Loza the money was from the businessman — the undercover agent — who got a refund after Graham refused the first-class airline ticket to Miami.
"And if he doesn't take it?" Loza asked.
On July 23 — nearly two weeks after trying to give Graham the money — Loza returned the cash to Kamus during another videotaped meeting in the informant's car. After Kamus counted the money, Loza told him that Graham wanted to "thank you for the intention but he can't take it."
Loza encouraged Kamus to have his associates donate to Graham's constituent services fund. Two months later, Loza was arrested.

Jounrals are used per node, if you have more journals than nodes mounted, the extras are ignored. The more nodes trying to access the same directory, the slower thing access to that directory will be. How slow? depends on how many directory entries, how many nodes, how much change, type of storage, layout and all that. (how much change == adding/removing/renaming entries) For one node, it should be pretty fast, even for large directories. Also, you should make sure that you're not being bitten by ls. For many people, by default, ls is also stat-ing every entry in the directory. (for colors or the extra char at the end of the name) As well as ls typically reads all of teh entries, sorts them, then formats and displays. I'm not sure that anyone has found a magic number or formula yet. (please please tell if you think you have.) -- Michael Conrad Tadpol Tilstra Reality doesn't just happen to you.

Scott Speed finishes fifth, Tanner Foust eighth.
The two-car Andretti Rallycross team was fast at Charlotte this weekend, but suffered some bad luck.
Scott Speed, in the number 77 7UP Volkswagen Polo, finished today's race in the fifth position. Speed still sits second in the drivers' championship standings after a tough weekend at The Dirt Track at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
"Today was an improvement over yesterday's Heat rounds, but it's still a disappointing weekend for the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross crew," he said. "This round certainly outlined the areas we have to work on, but I genuinely feel like we learned a lot at The Dirt Track."
"We had a few mechanical issues in the final race that luckily didn't hold us too far back, but it definitely made it difficult to pass in the 7UP Volkswagen. Championships aren't won on the days when you are the fastest, but when you limit the amount of damage. Glad to have these two races behind us and I'm looking forward to jumping back in the car in Daytona," said Speed.
Foust fast, finds front, flounders
Tanner Foust, in the number 34 Rockstar Energy Drink Volkswagen Polo, fought his way to the front of the pack taking the first place position in the semifinal. But the Colorado native suffered a punctured tire after the first restart in the Global Rallycross Final, ending his time at The Dirt Track in eighth.
"It was a particularly tough weekend for the guys on the Rockstar Energy Andretti Autosport Volkswagen. With the dirt and extremely rough conditions, the guys were fixing bodywork and repairing tires all day long," Foust said. "Over the two days I had three tire punctures, but the third was at the worst possible time, the first lap of the final.
"That puncture made it very tough to keep any pace, but I made sure to finish just in case others had harder luck than mine. I got a second chance at life after a hard fought semifinal placed me in the first row. Before the red flag in the final, I was settling into a solid second place position. I feel for the team and we were in a bit if survival mode all weekend. We will recharge and come ready for an even hotter Daytona!"

Canada likely to aid struggling Bombardier - government sources
(Figures in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA Feb 19 (Reuters) - Canada will likely offer up to $1 billion in aid to ailing plane maker Bombardier Inc, according to senior government sources, though some in the ruling Liberal Party want to see the company make tough concessions around control.
The federal government is under enormous pressure from the province of Quebec, which last year invested $1 billion in the firm's CSeries passenger jet for a nearly 50 percent stake in the project.
Bombardier acts as the center of the aerospace industry in Quebec. Although the CSeries is billions of dollars over budget and years late, not helping the firm would cost the Liberals support there.
"It is very, very likely the government will step in but the details still need to worked out," said one person with knowledge of the file.
Bombardier wants the federal government to follow the example of Quebec and take a stake in the CSeries, though it is not clear how big.
In public, federal cabinet ministers have stressed the importance of the aerospace sector, with Treasury Board Minister Scott Brison saying on Friday the Liberals would continue to invest in the industry.
But sources say Ottawa is concerned about Bombardiers's dual class share structure, which gives the Bombardier-Beaudoin family a roughly 54 percent voting stake. Continued...

Drug Safety Tips for Using Multiple Pharmacies
Be careful when you use multiple pharmacies. There are many drug safety concerns when you get your prescription medications from several different pharmacies. It is important to have oversight from your doctor and pharmacist.
Some of the drug safety issues which may arise are:
1. Getting two separate prescriptions for the exact same medication.
2. Taking two different drugs at the same time make cause side effects.
3. Over-the-counter medications may adversely interact with your prescription medication.
Here are some examples. Your medical professional may prescribe a medication for you called Coumadin. Coumadin is the brand name. It is a prescription to treat blood clots. Your physician specialist may order the generic drug of Coumadin, Warfarin Sodium. Filling these medications at different pharmacies may cause each pharmacist to dispense both prescription medications. If you don't inform your doctor or pharmacy you may confuse the medications, take both medications, or overpay for medications you don't need.
Other issues can occur when you use multiple pharmacies for your prescriptions. If two different prescription drugs are filled at two distinct pharmacies it may cause a drug interaction.Your gynecologist may prescribe birth control pills for you and your family physician may prescribe a course of antibiotics for you. Neither your doctor nor pharmacist will be able to counsel you about whether or not your birth control medication may be ineffective during the time you are taking your antibiotic prescription.
Click Here to Read About Medication Safety Tips
If you decide to use several pharmacies to get your prescription drugs, choose a primary pharmacy. This would be similar to how you would select a primary medical professional. The primary or main pharmacy will keep a current list of all your prescription medications. This list needs to include all of the vitamins, over-the counter medicines, herbal remedies and prescription drugs you are taking.
It is also important to include your past and current medical conditions. It is helpful to set up an initial appointment with your primary pharmacy. This review needs to include all your prescription drugs, vitamins, over-the-counter medications with the pharmacist there.
Read our Blog on Prescription Drug Safety.
Have your pharmacist check over all your medications for any potential problems. This is commonly called a brown bag review. Simply put all your prescription, vitamin, and OTC containers in a bag and bring it to the pharmacy for a pharmacist to review.
Become familiar with the different names of your prescriptions. This would include both generic and brand names. Your medical professional can inform you about the different names and dosages of your medicines. If it is unclear ask. Make sure the name is clearly marked on the prescription drug container.
With a small effort, the payoff is great for assuring drug safety!

Iraqi forces pressed a counterattack on former leader Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit yesterday as Russia delivered Sukhoi warplanes to aid Baghdad in what diplomats warn is an existential battle against Sunni Muslim militants.
Government planes pounded Tikrit and clashes broke out across the city, which fell to militants two weeks ago. Thousands of troops advanced in the most ambitious operation Iraqi forces have carried out since insurgents led by the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) overran swathes of five provinces in recent weeks. The ISIL is also known as Isis.
Witnesses in the city reported waves of government air strikes in central Tikrit and Saddam's palace compound.
The Iraqi forces are coordinating with recently arrived US military advisers in "studying important targets", according to Iraqi security spokesman Lieutenant General Qassem Atta.
Also yesterday, fighters backed by the Kurdish
peshmerga force were advancing on the Shiite-majority village of Basheer, south of Kirkuk, which was taken over by militants during the offensive, officials said.
The Tikrit offensive comes as Iraq took delivery of the first batch of Sukhoi warplanes from Russia, with the newly purchased Su-25 aircraft expected to be pressed into service as soon as possible, bolstering Iraq's air power. Su-25s are designed for ground attack, meaning they will be useful in trying to root out militants from a string of towns and cities they have seized.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Thursday announced that Baghdad was buying more than a dozen Sukhoi from Russia in a deal that could be worth up to US$500 million.
While Washington has been sending military advisers to help Iraqi commanders and is flying armed drones over Baghdad, Iraqi officials have voiced frustration that multibillion-dollar deals for F-16s and Apache helicopters have not been expedited.
Washington, which has pushed for political reconciliation in the face of what US Secretary of State John Kerry has described as an "existential" threat, has also so far not acceded to Iraq's appeal for US air strikes.
The US has stopped short of calling for Maliki to go, but has left little doubt it feels he has squandered the opportunity to rebuild Iraq since American troops withdrew in late-2011.
Atta has said hundreds of soldiers had been killed since the insurgent offensive was launched on June 9, while the UN puts the overall death toll at over 1,000, mostly civilians.
International organisations have urged the establishment of humanitarian corridors to provide aid amid the fighting, with 1.2 million people having been displaced by unrest this year in Iraq.
