From An Enterprise Perspective, Mobile World Congress 2013 Will Focus More On Solutions
Posted by Dan Bieler on February 18, 2013
As an analyst who focuses on the future of communications and the implications for business, I will travel to Mobile World Congress (MWC) with several expectations:
- There will be a greater focus on business solutions, not just hardware and software exhibits. OK, in many respects, this is probably more of a hope of mine than an expectation. MWC visitors will still encounter hall after hall of software and hardware. Still, I expect many exhibitors, including device players like Samsung, to show a growing awareness by focusing more on actual end user business needs, including a vertical perspective.
- Consumerization as a focus area is just heating up. The information workforce is fragmenting. Information workers will increasingly expect to work in a flexible framework. Forrester's research highlights significant differences in communication and collaboration behavior between age groups. Social media — the communication channel of choice for those now entering the workforce — brings big challenges for businesses in the areas of procurement, compliance, human resources, and IT. However, I expect these themes to be addressed mostly superficially at MWC.
- The merger of big data, mobility, and cloud computing is recognised as a large business opportunity. Mobility by itself only scratches the surface of the opportunities in areas like customer interaction, go-to-market dynamics, charging, and product development, which are emerging in combination with big data and cloud computing. I expect providers like SAP to touch on several aspects of this trend. The momentum is supported by the trend toward software-defined networking.
- Software-defined networking (SDN) will be a big theme for carriers. Of course, SDN increasingly matters to carriers as part of their network infrastructure migration. SDN will be an ongoing theme for carriers well beyond 2013. However, one should not underestimate the impact that SDN will have on businesses as well, as it also opens up opportunities for more intelligent and interactive customer engagement, for instance. However, I don't expect SDN providers like Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Systems, Ericsson, Huawei, and Nokia Siemens to discuss these SDN implications for businesses yet, but focus on the carrier perspective.
- Device hype will give way to a growing interest in OTT services. Despite recent device launches, including BlackBerry's Z10 and Microsoft's Surface, I do not expect device hype to dominate Mobile World Congress 2013. Devices are nice, but let's face it: Most people care about what they can do on their devices — i.e., apps — rather than the devices per se. Hence, I expect OTT services to play a bigger role at MWC than last year.
- Overall, no single theme will dominate. Mobility has become extremely pervasive. Mobility is central to pretty much every business strategy. This raises an interesting question: Is the focus on "mobility" still relevant enough for MWC visitors with a business focus? Or are business visitors looking for support in adjusting their business models for a mobilized world?
Above all, I will be looking at the degree of real support that exhibitors offer businesses in terms of exploring the opportunities that mobility provides by transforming business processes and business models.
PS: I am sure that some of the frequent MWC visitors are somewhat uncertain about the event's new venue. It will be interesting to see whether MWC's new venue can retain that certain Barca spark that the old venue (below the National Art Museum of Catalonia) gave Mobile World Congress compared with other events and conferences. After all, context matters.

Santa Maria Grills (Argentine Grills without Braseros)
A Santa Maria Grill is an Argentine Grill without a brasero. It's usage is different. Instead of making embers in a brasero and pulling hot coals under the grill, Santa Maria Grills are designed to cook directly over the fire and resulting embers for a smokier product. This line of Argentine BBQ Grills has been certified by NSF. Cook mouth watering meats over smoky red oak or red hot coals just like we do in California. These are the grills used to make Santa Maria Style BBQ, which consists primarily of sirloin, tri-tip, and linguica sausages grilled oven red oak, or charcoal if you really must cheat. Available in 3/16" steel, or 3/8" steel fireboxes for long life.
Available with Argentine, cast iron, round rod, square rod, expanded metal, or mesh grilling surfaces.

Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System
Parking Garage Opens
BILOXI, Miss. – The Department of Veterans Affairs Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System announces the opening of a new parking garage on the Biloxi campus.
The five-level, 1,000 stall parking garage offers expanded parking for Veterans, visitors and employees closer to the medical facilities. Parking in the garage includes 50 handicap spaces, two elevators, a camera system and multiple emergency assistance stations where two-way communication can be established with VA police who work on campus. The first and second levels are for designated patient parking only.
"We are excited to offer our patients and employees free covered parking closer to the hospital," Thomas Wisnieski, VAGCVHCS Director, said. "The parking garage is only the first of several new and expanded services at our Biloxi campus."
The new parking garage is one of four ongoing construction projects at the Biloxi VA Medical Center that was made possible through VA's Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services. A new 64-bed Mental Health building, a 26-bed Blind Rehabilitation Center and a 96-bed Community Living Center are scheduled to open later this year and in early 2012.
The VAGCVHCS serves approximately 60,000 veterans along the Gulf Coast, and operates VA medical facilities in South Mississippi, South Alabama and Northwest Florida.

Submitted to: HortTechnology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/23/2007
Publication Date: 10/1/2007
Citation: Wood, B.W., Well, L. 2007. Relationship between leaflet nitrogen: Potassium ratio and yield of pecan. HortTechnology. 17(4):473-479. Interpretive Summary: Interpretive Summary: The high and rising cost of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) fertilizers means that optimization of these key nutrient element is increasingly important to commercial orchard enterprises. The relative leaf concentrations of these elements are important, but the relative ratio of these elements is also important for optimization of orchard productivity. Research evaluating tree yield characteristics against various N:K ratios found that yield was optimum at a ratio of approximately 2.1 and that higher ratios were detrimental to nut yield. This information enables pecan farmers to avoid wastage of money on excessive N fertilizer applications and increases the probability of improving orchard productivity and profitability.
Technical Abstract: This study examines the relationship between foliar N:K ratio and nutmeat yield of 'Desirable' [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) K. Koch] pecan. Regression analysis of linear and curvilinear relationships between leaflet N:K ratio and in-shell yield identified associations relevant to orchard nutrition management. Dependent variables included two-year average in-shell yield, difference in in-shell yield between ON and OFF years, ON year yield, and OFF year yield. Independent variables included the two-year average N:K ratio, the difference between ON year N:K ratio and OFF year N:K ratio, ON year N:K ratio, and OFF year N:K ratio. Analysis revealed that ON year N:K ratio correlates with ON year yield (r = -0.69), OFF year yield (r = +0.34), two-year average yield (r = -0.52), and difference between ON and OFF year yields (r = -0.69) below the optimum yield level (<1800 kg'ha-1 ) for 'Desirable'. Orchard nutmeat yields of 'Desirable' therefore appear to be influenced by N:K ratio and appear substantially reduced by high N:K ratios; thus meriting further investigation into the relationship of N and K to yield. It is suggested that pecan orchards be managed such that foliage contains a N concentration of 2.5-2.9% and a K concentration of 1.3-1.5%, while maintaining the N:K ratio at approx. 2:1 for maximization of nutmeat yields over the long-term.

mobile home renovations
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum.
Within the next week or so, I'll be moving into my first "home". I've rented up until now, and recent events made it possible to own a home. It is an 90's model double wide mobile home. It actually belonged to my in-laws but they've moved two houses down. It's a great wooded lot with 2.8 acres. And the great part is we're on course to own it out right in 5 years.
Its in a state of disrepair because it sat un-inhabited for a while. Some things I know of that need immediate attention are the roof and the a/c duct work. Other than that, it just needs cosmetic repairs.
I've heard there are special considerations when renovating mobile homes. I'm just looking for some insight into anything you guys might know. Any help would be appreciated.
(I'll toss up some pictures of the house once we start moving stuff in)
Not all mobil homes are built the same so it's hard to say exactly what your going to run into.
Some lovly things I ran into with them.
Sheathing on the roof that was only 3/8 thick.
Just kraft paper instead of tar paper as a vaper barrier on the roof.
Shingles were staped not nailed.
They used staples to attach the vinyl siding which will cause it to buckle.
Doors inside and out non standard sizes.
Quest plumbing which years ago had all kinds of class action sutes from pipes bursting and fitting leaking.
Partical board floors which if they get wet one time turn to oatmeal.
Cheap windows.
2 X 2's for wall studs instead of 2 X 4's.
Cheap plastic faucets.
I've seen where they used nothing but plaster rings to hold in the outlet. Pull on the outlet to remove a plug and the whole outlet come out of the wall.
Partical board cabinet drawers and partical board cabinet doors that tend to fall apart and the hindge screws pull out.
Dryer vent and condinsate drain just run under the home, not to the outside.
Thank goodness there not all built like this.
There is really no difference between renovating a mobile home and a regular home, just that sizes and materials are not standard. In other words, don't try to rplace doors or kitchen cabinets with over the counter replacements, they won't fit. Keep in mind also that there is a line that runs between the two halves and forget about plumbing the other side of the mobile. Heating ducting have to be extended with a large diameter connecting "snorkel" - mine is 12" in diameter and it is a ***** to replace.
On the bright side, everything is relatively easy to get at with a mobile. Hopefully you have easy access underneath. Make sure the skirting is in decent condition and vented. Check the foundation and make sure there isn't gaps between the top of the piers and the mobile frame.
There is a mobile home repair forum I have used.
Always remember, it ain't home till you take the wheels off!
I am glad your excited. as mentioned above a lot of problems 2X2 trusses. 3/8th sheething on the roofs cpvc plumbing sawdust board subfloors if they can build it cheap and get away from it they will 1/4 drywall walls and half inch lids.
I know your excited and all. My advice is this be very carefull if you tear in to something that can open a whole can of worms you don't want. then all you would be doing is spending money you did not need to spend.

Air Canada says has to up game to match WestJet
By David Ljunggren
BEIJING (Reuters) - Air Canada will have to improve its performance now that rival WestJet Airlines Ltd is moving into the regional market, the carrier's chief operating officer told Reuters on Thursday.
WestJet shares rose more than 4 percent on Wednesday after the company said it expected to serve smaller Canadian destinations dominated by Air Canada - the nation's largest carrier - and other airlines before the end of 2013.
"In terms of where they're headed it's something that's certainly not surprising," said Air Canada Chief Operating Officer Duncan Dee, noting that WestJet had run out of destinations it could serve with its Boeing B-737 fleet.
"We're simply going to have to step up our game in markets where we haven't faced their competition before," Dee said in an interview in Beijing, where he was taking part in a federal trade mission.
Dee said it was too early to speculate what effect the WestJet move would have on the bottom line at Air Canada, which is beset with labor problems.
Shortly after Dee spoke to Reuters, Air Canada reported a fourth-quarter net loss as higher maintenance and fuel costs overshadowed the gains from increased passenger traffic.
Air Canada is currently involved in sometimes bad-tempered negotiations with unions representing pilots, cabin crew, ramp and maintenance employees as well as flight schedulers.
"We're continuing to talk to our unions ... There are several balls in the air in terms of the negotiations. As a positive note, all of those talks continue, none of them have broken off," said Dee. Continued...

Jan 13, 2014 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorThe Tiger team hosts a ski clinic onR00;Feb. 1.
The Lander Valley High School girls Nordic ski team tied Laramie for third place in the team standings Saturday, Jan. 4, at the Pinedale Invitational.
Lander and Laramie both generated 147 points apiece in the two-day event contested in very cold conditions.
The Casper Natrona girls won the team title at 221 points. Jackson was second with 189 points.
"The races were a little on the cold side," Lander coach Emily Tilden said. "The earlier start on Saturday made for some chilly conditions, but it made waxing a bit easier."
On the boys side, the Tigers were fourth, scoring 98 points. Jackson was the runaway winner after pilling up 239 points. Casper Natrona finished second (170).
"Everyone learned something," Tilden said. "Some kids really figured out some strategy for a mass start, others really found a pace that they could sustain."
The skiers at the Pinedale race participated in a freestyle race and a pursuit event.
Lander's Nick Merritt challenged for a top spot in both races.
"Coming off being sick in Jackson, Nick came back really well," Tilden said. "Nick learned to share the work of leading and not take it all on himself. Saturday, he closed that gap and proved that he is overall a very strong skier."
The Lander girls came on strong in the final day of the two-day meet.
"The girls redeemed themselves on Saturday," Tilden said. "I think that they were flat on Friday and just didn't have the heart to push through. On Saturday they really turned around with some incentive to prove themselves, and they did."
The biggest concern Tilden has is team depth.
"We have some great frontrunners on the team, but we need to develop our younger skiers to fill into the top 20 with that consistency," Tilden said. "That is how you win team championships.
"I think that it's easy for the kids to get down on themselves if they aren't winning, but the reality is that every skiers score contributes to the whole. If everyone is pushing the quality of the field, we end with more high quality athletes and ultimately athletic experiences."
Lander is at the Laramie Invitational on Jan. 17-18.
The Casper meet is Jan. 24-25. Lander will host a ski clinic on Feb. 1.
"The high school athletes instruct," Tilden said. "We will teach anyone who wants to learn."
The clinic starts at 10 a.m. at the Lander Golf Course.

Baseball Defeats South Alabama
May 23, 1998
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Three Southern Cal pitchers combined to limit South Alabama to five hits Saturday night as the top-seeded Trojans won 3-2 and advanced to the finals of the NCAA East Regional.
The Jaguars struck out 12 times against Rik Currier, Jason Lane (7-1) and Jack Krawczyk. Krawczyk pitched the last 1 2-3 innings to record his 20th save of the season, tops in the nation and two short of the NCAA record.
Krawczyk got South Alabama's Tom Whitehurst to line to second base for an inning-ending double play in the eighth and struck out the side in the ninth.
"I just got my opportunity and did what I did all year," Krawczyk said.
Fourth-seeded South Alabama (41-18) and No. 3 seed Virginia Commonwealth (46-14) will meet at 2 p.m. Sunday in an elimination game. The winner faces Southern Cal (43-16) in the 7 p.m. championship game for the right to play in the College World Series.
Southern Cal beat second-seeded Clemson 8-5 earlier Saturday to knock the host team out of the tournament.
"I'm particularly proud of the way our guys battled all day today," coach Mike Gillespie said.
Morgan Ensberg's two-run double off Stephen Sparks (5-5) in the first inning gave Southern Cal the lead for good.
The Trojans took a 2-0 lead, but Whitehurst answered with a homer off the right-center scoreboard.
Southern Cal stretched its lead to 3-1 on Eric Munson's RBI single in the
top of the third, but South Alabama drew within a run again in the bottom of
the inning when Andy Sutley's base hit drove home Juan Pierre.

You'd have to be serving detention to have missed the latest kerfuffle at Missoula County Public Schools (MCPS). The Missoulian last week released a damning 20-second audio clip of Trustee Nancy Pickhardt berating two private citizens with a combination of expletives and sarcasm. The voicemail tirade—which included the choice phrase "go fuck yourselves"—was directed at retired teacher Caroline Pickolick and her husband, Nicholas, over a letter Nicholas had written to the daily paper. Nicholas, like many in the community, criticized the trustees for awarding Superintendent Alex Apostle a 10 percent pay raise right after teachers received a measly .05 percent boost.
The trustees basically sent the same message to teachers that Pickardt sent to the Pickolicks.
Meanwhile, Pickhardt, now in her fifth year with the board, dodged the press all week. When the Independent called her last Thursday, she told us she'd been "hounded" by the media and still had nothing to say about the voicemail. She then asked us, in a forceful tone but without using any four-letter words, not to call her again. During Tuesday's Board of Trustee's meeting, Pickhardt read a prepared statement apologizing to the Pickolicks and asking for forgiveness for her "inappropriate actions and language."
Pickhardt's outburst surprised many in the community, and Board Chair Toni Rehbein stated publicly that MCPS has "never had this kind of experience." But a little digging into school board records revealed some red flags about Pickhardt's behavior that Rehbein and her fellow trustees must've overlooked.
Last December, Missoula resident Jeanne Joscelyn submitted a letter to school board officials titled, "Unprofessional conduct of MCPS Trustee Nancy Pickhardt at September Superintendent, Cabinet and Trustee School Meeting." Joscelyn writes that on September 26, 2009, Pickhardt approached former trustee Carol Bellin during a public meeting and "began chastising Carol for her earlier comments regarding the beverage contract." The incident, according to Joscelyn, continued for some time, with Pickhardt "criticizing and bullying" Bellin. Bellin confirms the story, and was one of several people who called for Pickhardt's resignation Tuesday night.
"I just do not think Nancy Pickhardt has the skills to openly listen to different points of view without intimidating people," Bellin told the Indy.
Joscelyn's letter—available online in the board's agenda packet for Dec. 8, 2009—also outlines an exchange between her and Pickhardt from summer 2006. Joscelyn said the two were entering a building when Pickhardt turned to her and said, "You are one of the most pathetic people I have ever known." Joscelyn says she wrote the school board about the incident at the time, but they dismissed it as a private matter.
At this point, Pickhardt's well-documented behavior is anything but private.

The Next Maya Angelou?
It's a big comparison, but it's what critics are saying about Jesmyn Ward. Her third book, and first non-fiction work, "Men We Reaped: A Memoir," is out today, and it's getting some serious buzz. Lauded by The New York Times, NPR, and a slew of others, the book is on our must-read list for fall.
The story weaves Jesmyn's formative years, spent in DeLisle, Mississippi, and the lives of five young men in her life — all African-American, all whose lives were cut short between 2000 and 2004, mostly by violence. (Among the men, her brother, killed at 19 by a drunk driver.) And at the heart of the story are people she loved, touched by poverty and gripped by self-destruction.
Jesmyn won the 2011 National Book Award for her novel "Salvage The Bones," set in the 12 days and after leading up to Hurricane Katrina. She served as a Stegner Fellow at Standford University from 2008 to 2010 and a Grisham Writer in Residence at the University of Mississippi from 2010-2011and has taught at the University of New Orleans.
We talked with Jesmyn, who now lives in her native DeLisle and is a professor at the University of South Alabama, as she embarked on her multi-city book tour, which begins today.
SL: Why did you decide to move back to the South and raise your family here?
JW: My entire family on both sides are from DeLisle and Pass Christian. I spent a long time away, but family kept drawing me back. I love the sense of community here, and the natural beauty of the place. I miss that when I'm away.
Being a Southerner means having a real sense of history. Other places in the country, that's not so much the case. We constantly live with this specter of the past, and we're always aware of the way the past expresses itself in the present. One of the biggest lessons I learned from this book is that the past bears in the present.
SL: Tell us more about that.
JW: My grandmother told stories about working in the fields all day long just to feed her family. That history of being poor is a real one, and it's affected my family through my generation. My brother dropped out of school when he was young. At times he did things that were illegal in order to get money to support himself. On the surface, if someone hears about a young, poor black kid from a rural town who has to hustle, and then gets a legitimate job, and then loses and that on goes back to hustling, it's easy for them to stereotype him. In the book I try to show he was more than that.
I want people to read the book and to get to know these young men as people.
SL: Critics compare you to Maya Angelou. How does that make you feel?
JW: I've always looked up to Maya Angelou, so that's a really heavy compliment. I'm flattered when people think about that, but when I sit down and it's just me and the computer, I can't think about those things. I'm aware of what people expect, and it's hard to live up to those expectations. So I'm flattered by the compliments but need to put them aside so I can work.
SL: Who are your other literary influences?
JW: Toni Morrison, Louise Erdrich, William Faulkner, Carson McCullers, James Baldwin. And Jean Toomer, who wrote "Cane"
SL: Who are the most influential Southerners in your life?
JW: My family — my living family and the previous generations. And the people who fought for Civil Rights in the South — Martin Luther King, Jr. and Medgar Evers. There are so many.

Nine lives: Mazda's facelifted CX-9 seven-seat crossover vehicle will have a Down Under debut.
18 September 2012
By RON HAMMERTON
MAZDA has chosen the Australian International Motor Show for the global debut of its facelifted CX-9 large crossover SUV next month, with its world CEO and chairman Takashi Yamanouchi set to fly to Sydney to do the honours.
The plans for the high-profile reveal were announced by Mazda Australia today, along with a selection of photos of the new-look wagon that will go on sale locally before the end of the year.
The annual Australian show was selected for the event because of the high standing of Mazda in general and the CX-9 in particular in this market, where the Japanese company is the leading full-line importer.
The new-look CX-9 – which gets a fresh face based on Mazda's new Kodo design language that first appeared on the smaller CX-5 SUV – will be unveiled alongside the all-new Mazda6 sedan and wagon in their Australian debut.
Mazda is the second manufacturer to confirm a global debut at the show, with fellow Japanese company Lexus recently announcing it will premiere an all-wheel-drive sportscar concept at the Sydney show that starts at the Darling Harbour exhibition centre on October 18.
Last year, Mazda staged the world debut of the dual-cab version of its BT-50 ute at the 2011 AIMS held in Melbourne in July.
Mazda Australia public relations manager Steve Maciver told GoAuto today that the decision by Mazda head office in Hiroshima to unveil the new CX-9 in Australia was "huge" for the local Mazda arm.
Left: Mazda CEO and chairman Takashi Yamanouchi.
He said Australia was about the third largest market globally for CX-9, only trailing much bigger markets such as the United States.
"Australia has been selected because of the potential for the new CX-9 to do well here, as well as our very strong market position globally for Mazda," he said.
Mazda enjoys a 9.3 per cent market share in Australia – well above any other major market for the brand.
So far this year, Mazda Australia has sold 3002 CX-9s, up a whopping 33.2 per cent over the first eight months of last year.
The new CX-9 not only gets some design changes at the front and rear but also gains some new high-tech features such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning and automatic high-beam headlights.
As well, the infotainment system gets voice-recognition control, as well as the latest sat-nav and audio systems.
The CX-9 carries over the 3.7-litre V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission – the sole powertrain on offer in the seven-seat SUV.
For now, it misses out on Mazda's latest SkyActiv powertrains that are being rolled out in new Mazda models such as the Mazda3, CX-5 and – from early next year – the all-new Mazda6.
The CX-9 is expected to get all the new technology – including the matching SkyActiv chassis treatment – when the all-new model comes around in about two years.
The current model made its Australian debut in late 2007, giving Mazda an answer to large family SUVs such as the Toyota Kluger and Ford Territory.
The vehicle has been given a number of tweaks since then, including the introduction of a front-wheel-drive version in June last year, alongside the original all-wheel-drive layout, that not only reduced the price of entry but also delivered fuel consumption savings.
While the CX-9 global debut is significant for the Mazda Australia, the new Mazda6 that will also appear at the Sydney show will have a much bigger impact in showrooms.
The ground-up redevelopment of Mazda's mid-sized sedan was unveiled at the recent Moscow motor show, with the wagon version set to make its world public appearance at next week's Paris motor show.
The new-look CX-9 is due in local showrooms late in the year, while the Mazda6 will follow up in the first quarter of 2013.
Also in the pipeline for Mazda is a facelifted MX-5 roadster that will be launched at the Sydney show.
For the technically minded, Mazda will display one of its new SkyActiv-D diesel engines at the Sydney event, along with a board revealing its SkyActiv technologies.

Jobless rate at 23-year low no help for dollar
Page Tools
Official unemployment has fallen to its lowest rate in 23 years, following a year-long boom in full-time jobs for men.
But the sparkling 5.5 per cent jobless rate was not enough to stop the dollar from being dumped yesterday, as financial markets responded to the increasing likelihood that interest rates will soon rise throughout the world.
The Bureau of Statistics jobs figures for May drew a mixed reaction.
Citigroup economist Steve Halmarick said it was a "fantastic achievement", noting that unemployment had not been as consistently low since the mid-1970s.
The Minister for Employment, Kevin Andrews, said the numbers were especially strong for those seeking full-time work, reversing the trend towards part time work over the past decade.
More than 147,000 full-time jobs have been created since May last year, compared with 41,000 part-time jobs.
However, others focused on the number of jobs falling by 41,000 in the month after adjustment for seasonal factors.
The unemployment rate and the number of jobs fell at the same time because the number of people participating in the labour force also fell.
Unusually, only a quarter of the 188,000 new jobs created over the last year went to female workers, the figures show.
Teenage females appeared to miss the recent jobs boom, causing their jobless rate to jump from 23.8 per cent to 25.5 per cent.
Currency markets focused on signs of weakness, rather than strength, in the job figures.
"Moderation in the Australian economy continues," said currency strategist Clifford Bennett. "That doesn't help global sentiment towards the dollar."
The dollar fell more than one US cent to US68.65 cents before recovering to US69.23 cents at 5pm. The trade-weighted index fell from 59.9 to 59.3.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand, facing broadly similar conditions to Australia, yesterday raised interest rates for the third time this year, to 5.75 per cent.
Japan continued its exceptionally strong run of economic figures, with new machinery orders for April rising 11.8 per cent.
Analysts expected the Bank of England would raise rates last night, while comments by US Federal Reserve members raised expectations that it would begin tightening interest rates next month.
Barry Hughes, an economist with Credit Suisse Asset Management, said the world's central banks were at a turning point, which the Reserve Bank might find difficult to ignore.
"We've had 20 years of global disinflation and interest rates going down," he said.
"We've hit bottom and we're coming up the other side. We don't know how far or how quickly they will go."
The outlook for China presents a question mark for the generally bright global economy. Inflation has hit a seven-year high of 3.8 per cent and authorities have loudly signalled their intention to slow the economy.
Yesterday, industrial production numbers for May fell after seasonal adjustments by Rob Subbaraman, an economist with Lehman Brothers in Tokyo.
"I think with today's data, and money supply and bank lending weakening to its slowest pace in over a year, you can now make a stronger case that the Chinese economy is indeed slowing," he said.

After using its veto power in the Security Council to halt any efforts to remove President Assad of Syria, the Russian government came out swinging at the Syrian strongman. President Medvedev stated bluntly to Assad: "if the Syrian leadership is incapable of conducting such reforms, it will have to go." In other words, end the violence, create some semblance of a democratic government or the roof will fall in.
To reinforce the seriousness of the situation, Turkey, once the strongest supporter of President Assad, also came out with warnings. Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davuloglu told the Syrian leader: "Every domestic crisis in Syria will affect Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine. So when an internal conflict in Syrian poses a risk to Turkey, we will take all necessary measures."
What exactly will it take to persuade Assad to wise up?

Before we get into how I avoided the holiday crowds while fishing this weekend, I want to recognize all the men and women who have served and died in our military.
Originally, Memorial Day was supposed to be a day to recognize veterans who died in the line of duty. Over time it morphed into something much broader. First, it expanded to include all veterans and then later to include all of our loved ones who have passed. There's nothing wrong with any of those expansions but it's important to remember how it began.
Regardless of how we celebrate it, the facts about our military remain the same. Without a strong armed forces — made strong by our men and women who are serving and who have served — we'd be in bad shape when it comes to our freedoms. Those freedoms are the reason some of us can run around the country fishing for a living. We owe all our veterans, dead or alive, a deep appreciation for what they have done.
Now, let's talk about how to avoid the dreaded crowds on the water on this important day. First, find a ramp that's out of the way and needs some maintenance. Most of the people launching boats for the first time this year need room and modern facilities. All bass anglers need is a narrow, semi-paved surface that drops off into the water.
I found just such a place last Saturday morning on Lake Erie and had a wonderful time smallmouth fishing. My area of the lake was relatively open, and I was able to catch fish until the wind drove me off the lake. I can't find a way to blame that on the party crowd, try as I might.
On Sunday I fished a local lake near Columbus that has a 10-mph speed limit on it. The low speed limit keeps the lake clear of recreational traffic regardless of the holiday. Most fun boaters want to go fast. Fishermen don't need speed. They need fish. I found a bunch of them with no interference whatsoever.
And then on Monday I launched at another local lake. This one had a 10-horsepower limit on it. That accomplished the same thing. When's the last time you saw a boat with a 10-horse outboard powering it? It's been a while, I'm sure.
These solutions will require a little research on your part. You have to look around in advance and maybe study a map along the way. If you'll do that, however, you'll be rewarded with tranquil holiday fishing. And, as an added bonus, you'll find offbeat, out of the way places close to home that hold a surprising number of big bass. It's win-win all the way.
I mention this even though Memorial Day is past and summer is in full swing. We still have the Fourth of July and Labor Day coming up. If you'll follow my suggestions, you can fish those holidays to your heart's content.

The Centrino specification, coupled with a massive ad campaign, helped Intel consolidate its iron grip on the laptop market and also had the effect of pushing wireless networking into the mainstream – everyone who bought a new laptop was looking for the Centrino logo, and when they got it home wanted to take advantage of the built-in wireless technology.
The company went on to introduce its second-generation Sonoma platform in January 2005, taking advantage of the next generation Pentium M processor (Dothan), Intel's 915 Express chipset and 802.11g support in the form of the PRO/Wireless 2200 or 2195ABG wireless adapter. The new Pentium M boasted twice the level 2 cache at 2MB, an improved frontside bus speed of 533MHz and moved from a 0.13-micron process to a 90nm one. The power consumption of the new processor was down once again, though Sonoma laptops typically didn't eke quite as much from their batteries as Carmel machines did, thanks to the increased power requirements of the new PCI Express bus (which also heralded the arrival of ExpressCard in laptops).
A mere 12 months later, Intel pushed things on again, introducing its Core Duo (Yonah) 65nm processor ushering in the third-generation Centrino platform, Napa. The Core Duo chip implemented Intel's Smart Cache model, where 2MB of cache was shared between the cores, so that if only one core was utilised, it had access to all the cache. Months later, its next-generation Core 2 processors made an appearance too, with Intel adding its state of-the-art mobile Core 2 Duo (Merom) and Solo processors to the specification. The higher-end processors now boast a huge 4MB of level 2 cache while the processors run at half the power (34W TDP) of their desktop counterparts.
Significantly, with its dual core processors, power efficiency rather than clock cycles have now become the driving force behind the chip giant's processor design for both laptops and desktops. And with all of Intel's might pushing things forward, the future is looking rosier than ever for the once-poor relation of the home computing world.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
This year has been a pretty damn good one for Guided by Voices fans. Not only did main man Robert Pollard reunite the "classic '93-'96 lineup" for three albums — Let's Go Eat the Factory, Class Clown Spots UFO, and the forthcoming Bears for Lunch (in addition to Mouseman Cloud, another in his torrential downpour of solo records), but the year saw the return of the nation's best GBV tribute band, Secret Fox. Featuring Jim Adkins (of Jimmy Eat World) and members of The Secret Lives of Painters, the band celebrated the return of Guided by Voices with a reunion gig of its own at Crescent Ballroom after 10 years of inactivity. The band didn't stick to the classic lineup repertoire alone, dipping into "Guided by Verde"-era power pop, too, but there were Pollard-style high kicks. Oh, yes, high kicks galore.
By the middle of the summer of 2012, we were choking on dust and dying of thirst. Suddenly, it occurred to us: If New Orleans can have the Hurricane, what's stopping Phoenix from creating her own cocktail homage to the haboob? And so we set forth on a bar-to-bar quest to find the bartender who could make our dream come true. It happened at Lon's, where Alexandria Bowler created a drink so unique — and so fitting — it deserves italics in its name. Bowler kindly provided us with her recipe for The Haboob. You're welcome.• 2.5 ounces of High Spirits Gin• .75 ounces of cactus blossom syrup• 1 ounce of lemon juice• three dashes of mole bittersShake with orange flower water and chamomile dust. Enjoy.
The world of whiskey is wide. Nearly every country that produces grain also makes its own version of the dark liquor, and with thousands of different varieties, styles and brands available, it's easy to get lost in your travels. Old Town Whiskey's collection of bottles is no less daunting — the restaurant's library of more than 100 whiskey varieties is one of the most comprehensive in the state — but there's no better place to make your way through every single one. The décor evokes an upscale version of a Western saloon, where cowboys would kick back the firewater with ease, and with flights of one-ounce tasters available for a set price, soon you will be, too. That Iron Chef Jose Garces lends his own talents to the food menu — which includes duck fat fries, pickled seasonal vegetables, burgers, and steak — is just a perk.
Really, gin made tableside? Flaming shakers of Jameson? Can Richie Moe, Kris Korf, and crew get any more creative with their cocktails? Could anyone?! The Citizen Public House folks decided to make good use of an old VIP room by turning it into a speakeasy-style bar that serves cocktails you most definitely will not find anywhere else. If you're one of the lucky 30 to get in, you must try the Tableside G & T or the impressive Black Blazer, made with Jameson whiskey, black strap molasses rum, and maple syrup. The concoction is lit on fire and mixed until it reaches a beautifully sweet, boozy glaze that is poured over ice and topped with a float of fresh whipped cream and orange zest. It comes with a $17 price tag, but the show itself is worth the price, and the flavors are unforgettable.
Rumor has it there's a cool, skinny chola at the bar. No need to size her up or whistle too loud; this chick keeps it real and authentic without the unnecessary mixes and syrups. Yep, she's the skinny, fresh face of a kick-ass margarita with all the essential ingredients — Jose Cuervo Tradicional Blanco Silver Tequila, agave nectar, and lime juice — and without the diet-driven hype. True, her complex flavors make her a little hard to read. And if you ask for her to touch a blender, she might show you some serious chola attitude. But if you've had a rough day or are in the mood to celebrate, head over to Barrio Queen and find her. There's no better chola to have by your side.
WTF is a Pickle Back? That's probably what you're asking yourself right about now. We're about to tell you, but we need you to open your mind way up, so hear us out on this one. A Pickle Back isn't a shot of pickle juice mixed with something gross like tequila or ranch dressing, and it doesn't have any actual pickles in it whatsoever. It's more of a drink combo like a Lady Boy (gin and tonic, Bailey's, and a beer) or a bloody Mary with a sidecar (small beer). The Pickle Back is made up of three parts — one can of PBR, one shot of Jameson, and one shot of pickle juice — but you keep them all separate. Do not mix them together. Combining them into one drink may cause the world to explode (or leave a bad taste in your mouth). Once you have your three items in front of you, take the shot of Jameson, then chase it with the pickle juice (just do it; it's actually tasty and it takes away that pesky whiskey burn) and then sip on PBR. Try it, you might like it! Particularly at Kitchen 56, where they do it just right.

Increase Power Like a TOUR Professional

Increase Power Like a TOUR Professional
Stability and Mobility - A Joint by Joint Approach
To unlock your golf power, there first needs to be a clear understanding of how the body is designed to move. We need to analyze the golfer from a different approach, seeing through the swing and into the body.
Science has proven that the body is a stack of joints. Each joint or series of joints has a specific function and is prone to predictable levels of dysfunction. As a result, each joint has precise training needs. Learn our joint-by-joint approach to improving golf functional movement and see immediate improvements in golf power.
Sequencing - Load and Explode
As we dig deeper into the research, you will understand the process of how golfers create speed and transfer this energy throughout their bodies. Research has proven there is an optimal physiological sequence for generating maximum golf power.
The amazing thing is that all great ball strikers have the same signature of generating and transferring speed throughout their body. Poor sequencing makes your swing inefficient and inconsistent, leaking power throughout your swing cycle.
The Strength/Speed Continuum - Where do I fit?
Learn the Power relationship of Force x Velocity and how it applies to improving your club head speed and distance. Discover what your emphasis should be in your training program and where you fit inside the Strength-Speed Continuum to maximize you own golf power.
Putting it all together - The 6 Steps
We have compounded our extensive data and carefully narrowed our research into six calculated steps. These six distinct training disciplines are the necessary "keys" to unlock a golfer's potential. These six phases are the architecture and essence of developing and maintaining golf power.

Conor has had the same nightmare every night since his mother began her treatments. But one night he wakes up to a different dream: a monster has come calling. The monster wants to tell him three stories, and in exchange Conor must tell the true story of his nightmare. Conor scoffs, but as his mother worsens, he begins to see how the truest stories are the hardest to tell.
Oh wow, this was beautiful. A heartbreaking near-perfect jewel of a book, which handles tough subjects while holding on to 13-year-old boy humor. It deals honestly with some of the toughest questions: why do bad things happen, and how do we deal with them without losing ourselves? Anybody who thinks of middle grade literature as facile or black-and-white should take a look at this book.
It reminded me of David Almond's Clay and Pete Hautman's books: young boys in pain, with believable boy voices, and a touch of supernatural/unreliable narrator.
A friend asked me for suggestions about books that should be made into movies just as I started reading this, and I couldn't stop thinking of it as a Where the Wild Things Are-esque film. I think it would be gorgeous.

Mobile phone carrier Softbank Corp. overtook longtime industry leader NTT DoCoMo Inc. for the first time in terms of first-quarter group operating profit, their April-June earnings reports show.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2013, Softbank reported operating profit of ¥391 billion, up 92.3 percent from a year before, compared with ¥247.4 billion at DoCoMo, down 5.8 percent.
Softbank has been logging brisk mobile phone subscriptions. It also posted one-off gains associated with the acquisition of game developer Gungho Online Entertainment Inc.
For the full year to next March, Softbank expects its group operating profit to exceed ¥1 trillion, stronger than its previous estimate of ¥900 billion, with benefits from its acquisition of Gungho and personal handy-phone system service provider Willcom Inc. expected to more than offset losses at recently acquired U.S. mobile carrier Sprint Nextel Corp.
DoCoMo saw its group sales increase as many of its customers switched from conventional mobile phones to smartphones and the company was thus able to curb an exodus of subscribers.
But its operating profit fell due to the cost of expanding its high-speed communications network.
KDDI Corp. enjoyed solid growth in April-June sales and operating profit thanks to an increase in subscribers.

Greensburg Central, Mars capture WPIAL volleyball titles
Mt. Lebanon ensured not every WPIAL girls volleyball championship went to teams that previously lacked titles.
The No. 4 seed Lady Blue Devils edged Class AAA finals newcomer and No. 3 Fox Chapel, 3-1, to claim a sixth WPIAL crown on Saturday at Chartiers Valley High School. After losing the first game, 25-21, they took three in a row (25-13, 25-22 and 25-20).
"Our kids, they don't get real caught up in the big momentum swings that a big kill or run can have," Mt. Lebanon coach Jeff Schilling said. "Our kids just stay the course. They know they have more games to go, and they're not under the gun. When you can find that relaxed level, it really helps you out."
Caroline Grattan finished with 21 kills for Mt. Lebanon. Alexa Pavlick added eight, four of which came in Game 4.
Sarah Bradley hit a team-high 12 kills for Fox Chapel. Megan Hollingsworth and Riley Herrmann each had 10 kills.
"I thought we'd really pull through at the end," Bradley said. "It was really intense. I think that's why we kind of fell off at the end, because it was so intense. We're a really relaxed team, and when we get really tense, we get kind of freaked out. "
Fox Chapel will join Mt. Lebanon in the PIAA playoffs.
"Even though we didn't win, it's just been an incredible experience," Bradley said.
Class AA
Mars dethroned the WPIAL defending girls volleyball champion, and the No. 3 seed Lady Planets made the feat look fairly easy.
With a 3-0 win over No. 1 Hopewell, Mars claimed its first Class AA title Saturday at Chartiers Valley. The Lady Planets prevailed by scores of 25-22, 25-18 and 25-17, and they trailed by two points — their largest deficit — just once in the match.
Hopewell entered the match as the top Class AA team in the Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Association's state rankings.
"We knew we could overpower them because we have so many talented players at so many positions," Mars coach Dan Mountain said. "We just had to let everyone get their swings."
Abby Matusik led the Lady Planets with 16 kills. Emily King added 10 kills, and Jaden Zimmer had 12, including Mars' final three points in the match.
Class A
Greensburg Central Catholic's Shannon Hurley stood on the volleyball court at Chartiers Valley High School three seasons ago as a freshman starter and accepted a silver medal in the WPIAL Class A finals.
Hurley's career with the Lady Centurions now has a golden hue.
In another memorable experience at Chartiers Valley, the senior outside hitter, a Winthrop recruit, recorded 17 kills as part of the Lady Centurions' overwhelming offense, which fueled No. 1 seed Greensburg Central Catholic to a 3-0 win over No. 3 Bishop Canevin in the Class A championship.
The title is Greensburg Central Catholic's first.
"I just remember my coach (Heather Meyer), telling me, 'Don't worry. We're going to get a gold medal,'" Hurley said of the second-place finish in 2009. "And now I have one."
The Lady Centurions, who won by scores of 25-19, 25-21 and 25-21, attacked from all angles. Senior Emma Dickson and sophomore Leah Bisignani split setting duties, and the duo also found time to combine for 17 kills.
Class AAA consolation
North Allegheny 3, Oakland Catholic 1 — North Allegheny, the No. 2 seed, made a mini-comeback in Game 4 to end No. 1 Oakland Catholic's rally in the WPIAL Class AAA third-place match, which the Lady Tigers won, 3-1, to advance to the PIAA tournament.
Ava Mosbacher (15 kills) and Ashley Leto (16 kills, 2 aces) led the offense for the Tigers, who will play the District 10 champion in the first round of the state tournament 7 p.m. Tuesday at Seneca High School in Erie.

She's the bomb: Zoe Kazan
The up-and-coming actor goes off with a bang in The Exploding Girl.
Mon Mar 8 2010
You can tell pretty quickly when a young actor—especially one who's been designated the Next Big Thing—has been coached in the ways of Media Management 101. Zoe Kazan is not one of these people; she is not a stay-on-message type. The 26-year-old will talk about how early exposure to images like Cary Grant carrying Ingrid Bergman down a staircase in Notorious gave her a "big lesbian crush" on cinema. She'll freely admit to thoroughly enjoying Armageddon ("Really, sometimes you've just gotta see Bruce Willis drillin' the shit out of a meteor"), and will flex her arm muscles, toned from scurrying up a drainpipe she's handcuffed to, six times a week on Broadway, in Martin McDonagh's A Behanding in Spokane. Kazan has no problem copping to being pissed off that certain hypocritical celebrities didn't clap when her grandfather—filmmaker Elia Kazan—received an honorary Oscar. Ask her about the perils of low-budget filmmaking, and you'll hear a hilarious story involving a boom mike, a small car stuffed with people and a Russian accent.
It's her ability to convey volumes of information with nothing but a look, however, that's been Kazan's secret onscreen weapon, which has allowed her to quietly steal scenes from costars as diverse as Leonardo DiCaprio (Revolutionary Road), Zac Efron (Me and Orson Welles) and Meryl Streep (It's Complicated). And it's that loaded, wide-eyed stare that turns her lead role in The Exploding Girl, a little independent film from director Bradley Rust Gray and the undisputed highlight of last year's Tribeca Film Festival, into a compelling argument that Kazan is one of the best young actors working today. Her character, Ivy, is a college student who returns home to Brooklyn for spring break; during her vacation, she'll listen to her boyfriend slowly break up with her the phone, and hang out with her cute, geeky friend (Mark Rendall). Given that Ivy is epileptic—a fact that's disclosed very early on—there's also a ticking-time-bomb element, so that, as her emotional stability starts to crumble, it's not a question of if so much as when she'll combust.
Kazan's involvement with the film began with a failed audition—and a fanboyish memento. "I had auditioned for Brad for another movie," Kazan says, sitting in the Oscilloscope Laboratories' downtown offices. "I really wanted to work with him and his wife [filmmaker So Yong Kim, best known for last year's Treeless Mountain], though I wasn't really right for the part—we both knew it. Still, I ended up making this sort of collage project for Brad and So, which was like a notebook filled with stuff. 'Hey, I made this for you guys, your project really inspired me....' Then I didn't get the part, which only made the whole thing more embarrassing. But a year and a half later, Brad called me out of the blue and asked if I wanted to go for a walk. After we'd gone about a block, he asked, 'So, do you want to make a movie with me?' And there was a pause, and Brad goes, 'Well, okay, I haven't written it yet...and I don't know who the character is, and I can't tell you anything about it. Will you still do it?'"
"Did she mention the notebook thing kinda smelled weird?" Gray laughingly inquires, calling from his apartment in Brooklyn. "The main thing was that she went the extra yard in terms of being actively invested in what I'd written; I knew she'd be into the idea of constructing a character with me from scratch. After she first said she'd do the movie, we'd go for these long walks once or twice a week and talk about her life...I was just familiarizing myself with who she was as a person. And it became a very collaborative effort while I was writing it; she came up with Ivy's name."
Her contributions didn't end there, naturally, since the guerrilla aspects of clandestine filming on busy Fort Greene streets allowed for a lot of off-the-cuff moments, like Kazan's playful dig about her costar's shirt while they walked back to their marks. Still, it's Kazan's silent, solo moments—the way she stares off into space while sitting on a rooftop, or smiles gently while crushing on someone offscreen—that imbue this intimate character study with such an organic sense of life being captured onscreen. "It isn't a plot-driven film," Kazan says. "A lot of the momentum basically starts and stops with how you hold the audience, so in that sense, it's similar to a theater piece. But I'm just happy to be a part of what Brad, So and these other moviemakers are doing with American cinema right now. It's so incredibly exciting, and..." She's about to go on, then stops. Her look of happiness says the rest.

In a thread at the Capcom-Unity forum, one user asked about Wii U backwards compatibility for crossover Wii fighter Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. Hopefully you already have a copy of the game or can nab one, because Capcom's reply revealed that their deal with Tatsunoko Productions has expired, and they can no longer sell physical or digital copies of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
Developed by Eighting, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was originally released exclusively for Wii in Japan in 2008 as Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes before making its way to the west. The forum reply comes from Capcom Senior VP Christian Svensson, who unfortunately believes the possibility of Capcom striking a new deal with Tatsunoko is slim.
Anyone still have their copy of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom? Keep a tight grip on it!
