Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings.

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 1 Sell Rating, 6 Hold Ratings, 2 Buy RatingsConsensus Rating:Hold (Score: 2.11)Consensus Price Target: $3.73 (46.65% upside) Analysts' Ratings History for Yamana Gold (NYSE:AUY) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails7/18/2017Royal Bank Of CanadaSet Price TargetBuy$4.00Low6/20/2017BMO Capital MarketsReiterated RatingHold$3.25Low6/15/2017Raymond James Financial, Inc.Reiterated RatingMarket Perform$3.25Low6/4/2017National Bank FinancialReiterated RatingOutperform Market WeightHigh5/15/2017ScotiabankBoost Price TargetSector Perform$3.50 -> $4.00Medium5/4/2017TD SecuritiesReiterated RatingBuy$5.50Medium3/11/2017Credit Suisse GroupSet Price TargetHold$3.00Low2/22/2017Bank of America CorporationDowngradeNeutral -> Underperform$2.80N/A1/11/2017Barclays PLCReiterated RatingHold$4.00N/A10/14/2016Dundee SecuritiesUpgradeSell -> NeutralN/A7/25/2016HSBC Holdings plcUpgradeHold -> Buy$7.20N/A4/8/2016CIBCBoost Price Target$2.70 -> $3.20N/A2/24/2016Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Teamwork rules -- on the soccer field and off!
Caltrans has always believed in the team effort. There are Quality teams, Project Management teams, Value Analysis teams and many more – all working together with a specific objective – a common goal. Whether working as a team or playing as team – the team approach can always yield positive results, and usually does, on and off the field. And the newly formed Caltrans Soccer Team is no exception. They've already proven themselves to be winners, scoring goal after goal after goal!
The idea of a Caltrans Soccer Team was initiated by team captain, Shahe Terjimanian, Transportation Engineer for Project Management. He organized the team and coordinated games with the soccer team from the City of Los Angeles. "On behalf of the entire team, we really want to take a moment to thank Shahe for all of his efforts," said team member Maen Shaar, Senior Transportation Engineer (TE), Design Branch B. He said that the idea to start a Caltrans District 7 Soccer Team spread quickly. "In less than a week, we had enough interested and capable players for a talented team," added Shaar. The team also sends their sincere appreciation to Refugio Dominguez for doing such an excellent job as a Center Referee.
Other team members are: Aziz Elattar, Chief of Environmental Planning; Wilfrido Morales, TE, Design Branch A; Arturo Lao, TE, Design Branch D; Art Correa, Senior TE, Design Branch B; Yves-Antoine Metellus, TE, Construction; Maher Subeh, TE, Construction; Francisco Martinez, TE, Traffic Design; Fasika Tamirat, TE, Office of the District Traffic Manager; Francisco Castaneda, TE, Design Branch A; Jeff Aragaki, TE, Traffic; Mazen Dabboussi, TE, Local Assistance; and Diaa Yassin, Senior TE, Project Management.
The first test for the team was to play two games against the City of Los Angeles' team at Griffith Park. The Caltrans team won the first match on April 5, 2007 by a score of 6-2; and on Thursday, April 12 the Caltrans team also won the second game with a score of
Working as teams and playing as teams not only helps to get the job done inside the office and out on the playing field -- but it also helps build a spirit of camaraderie and creates lifelong friendships. Currently, the team is looking for a good soccer field and other teams to compete against.
Anyone who is interested in the Caltrans Soccer Team can contact Shahe Terjimanian at (213) 897-2596. Best of luck and continued success to the Caltrans Soccer Team!

Illegal dumping creates blight and impacts the community's quality of life. When the Public Works Department receives a call regarding illegal dumping, we conduct an investigation to identify the source of the dumping. If the City can identify the potential source of the illegal dumping, the City will seek enforcement and prosecution, including but not limited to, physical clean-up of the illegal dumping, reimbursement for any cleanup, and civil or criminal penalties.
It is also illegal to dump trash into any commercial refuse bin, unless you have the express written permission of the business owner to use their bin.
Disposing of Waste Legally: The City Dump
CR&R, located at 1706 Goetz Road, Perris, California accepts all trash and debris, and is available, for a fee, to all residents and businesses within the City.
You may contact them for all of your solid waste, recycling and disposal needs.
Call (951) 943-1991 or visit their website.
What to do if you see someone illegally dumping
First, do not confront them. Instead, you should immediately contact the Perris Police Department (800) 950-2444 to report this, but only if you see someone actively illegally dumping. Be prepared to give as much information as you can, including:
Perris Business Owners: Beginning July 1, 2012, Assembly Bill 341 (AB 341) requires all businesses in California that generate four or more cubic yards of waste per week to recycle. In an effort to assist you with this new law, our contracted hauler (CR&R, Inc.), offers a wide variety of recycling services. Please visit the CR&R website for further information.
Your business may also donate and/or self-haul materials to a recycling facility. Information about California's new business recycling requirement is available from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle).

82-Year-Old Pervy Priest Fired After A Television Station Airs His Sex Tape
In Brazil, an unidentified 21-year-old vowed to get back at 82-year-old priest Luiz Marques Barbosa, who he claims sexually abused him. And so this 21-year-old knelt by a window, and shot a video of Barbosa having sex with a 19-year-old. In the middle of the act, Barbosa noticed him and yelled, "Who is it? Who's at the window? Who is it? Who's there?" This guy then took the video straight to his local news channel. A newscaster confronted Barbosa and asked him if he has sinned. "Who has never committed a sin?" Barbosa said. The newscaster then asked him if he had ever abused boys—he said it was a question he could only answer in confession, which certainly sounds pretty guilty. The network aired both his answers to these questions and the footage from the original sex tape. Naturally, Barbosa has been removed from duty, and a police investigation is under way. We just hope there weren't more victims in this case. [Newser, CNN]

Geneva (AFP) Jan 25, 2011
The weather pattern behind floods and extreme conditions in Australia, Asia, Africa and South America is one of the strongest ever and could last for four more months, the UN weather agency said Tuesday.
"In atmospheric terms it has to be termed one of the strongest ever La Nina episodes," said Rupa Kumar Kolli, head of world climate services at the UN's World Meteorological Organisation (WMO).
"The most important impacts we have witnessed in recent months have been the devastating floods in Australia," he told journalists.
The Geneva-based WMO said in its latest update that "a significant La Nina episode" was continuing in the tropical Pacific Ocean "with effects extending onto adjacent ocean basins."
All scientific predictions forecast "a continuation of the current La Nina for at least the next two to four months," it added, although the climate pattern was likely to progressively weaken over that period.
"Even if we expect La Nina to weaken over the next few months, the impacts are likely to continue," Kumar Kolli cautioned.
Apart from flooding in Australia and wetter weather in western Pacific, the WMO is linking La Nina to wetter than normal conditions in southern Africa, drought in east Africa and the western seaboard of South America.
Kumar Kolli also drew a direct link with deadly landslides in Brazil and flooding in Sri Lanka for the first time even though they were "atypical impacts" of the disruptive weather pattern.
La Nina atmospheric currents that emerged last summer probably combined with other local influences from the Atlantic or Indian Oceans in those instances, he suggested.
La Nina is characterised by unusually cool ocean temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific and typically lasts about nine months.
However, the complex interaction between shifting ocean currents and the atmosphere, and its range remain little understood by scientists, who are also reluctant to establish a clear tie with climate change.
In term of its atmospheric effects -- such as on winds, clouds and pressure systems -- the current La Nina ranked about third strongest for the past century on one scale, while its cooling of Pacific Ocean temperatures was rated as moderate to strong, Kumar Kolli explained.

La Nina blamed for Australia's floods
Brisbane, Australia (UPI) Jan 12, 2011
The La Nina weather phenomenon is to blame for Australia's floods, experts say. Northern Australia was hit by what was referred to as an "inland tsunami" Tuesday night. In Brisbane, Australia's third largest city and the capital of Queensland, the Brisbane River could reach a record crest of 18 feet Thursday.

John Mayer Hilariously Debunks Kristin Cavallari Dating Rumors
John Mayer is one funny dude—and we're not talking about his taste in cruise-wear.
The puppy-eyed troubadour has been plagued by rumors that he's been getting busy with Hills hottie Kristin Cavallari recently, so he did what he needed to do—he took to his Twitter account to quash the scuttlebutt.
And hilarity ensued.
"Rumor control: How do I put this like a gentleman…I have never high fived Kristin Cavalari [sic] with my penis," Mayer wrote.
But he didn't stop there.
"I'm sure she's a wonderful gal but we have never tasted the Skittles Rainbow together," Mayer continued.
"My Milli has never slam danced with her Vanilli," he went on.

James Gandolfini Dead at 51
UPDATE 5:47 PST: James Gandolfini's managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders released a statement confirming the actor's death.
"It is with immense sorrow that we report our client James Gandolfini passed away today while on holiday in Rome, Italy. Our hearts are shattered and we will miss him deeply. He and his family were part of our family for many years and we are all grieving."
HBO also released a statement:
"We're all in shock and feeling immeasurable sadness at the loss of a beloved member of our family. He was special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone no matter their title or position with equal respect. He touched so many of us over the years with his humor, his warmth and his humility. Our hearts go out to his wife and children during this terrible time. He will be deeply missed by all of us."
The Sopranos star James Gandolfini has died from a suspected heart attack in Italy.
He was 51.
Gandolfini received three Primetime Emmy Awards and three Screen Actors Guild Awards for his portrayal of one of the greatest characters in television history, Tony Soprano. The beloved HBO series' sixth and final season aired in June 2007.
According to TMZ, the actor had been in Italy for the 59th Taormina Film Festival. He was scheduled to appear at an event this weekend.
Gandolfini leaves behind wife Deborah Lin, their baby daughter Liliana (born in October) and Gandolfini's son Michael from a previous marriage.

Tony Sirico, who played Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri on The Sopranos told Celebuzz late Wednesday afternoon: "He was one of my closest friends. I loved him. He was very instrumental in helping me with my career. He was like family."

Steven Schirripa who played Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri said, "Jimmy was a dear friend and like a brother to me. He was a great actor and a great father. I will miss him terribly. I am very sad."

Added Joseph R. Gannascoli, who played Vito Spatafore on the show, "Jimmy and I were not the closest of friends, but I am forever indebted to him. He came with his son and spoke at my wedding, came to my restaurant to meet fans sick as a dog in the rain and stayed for hours. He also said he would go in and talk to David Chase with me if I didn't want to play my role on the show. Just a humble and gifted actor and person."
In recent years, Gandolfini has appeared in films including the remake of The Taking of Pelham 123, Welcome to the Rileys, Zero Dark Thirty and this year's The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. His last known project was opposite Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace in Animal Rescue, a crime drama which is still in production.
On the TV front, Gandolfini most recently served as a co-producer on the HBO film Hemingway & Gellhorn, starring Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen.

I am new to m0n0wall and have only been running version 1.2 for about 2
weeks now. So far I love it over my Linksys router I had to reset all the
time. It is much faster and was easy to setup. I have a few companies in my
consulting firm that would like to take the advantages of m0n0wall vs
expensive equipment from Cisco. What type of system specs are recommended
for a company that has 50 to 100 employees now, but may grow to twice their
size very rapidly over the course of 1-3 years? I want to thank you again
for the great product and easy setup.

Yeap, reverting that one would be a major effort at this point. Hmmm... assuming all the workqueue usages were correct, the change shouldn't have introduced such bug.

BYESVILLE -- A report of possible gunshots at an Euclid Avenue home in Byesville Tuesday night resulted in three village residents being arrested on child endangerment charges.
Heather Taylor, 26; Allan Simpson, 23; and William Ditto, 19, were all three charged with misdemeanor child endangerment offenses and transported to the Guernsey County jail following the alleged gunfire at approximately 10:51 p.m.

Perhaps because the "War on Christmas" needs new battles, or perhaps because there is no wrong way to attack the President, Fox Nation has posted an article condemning the First Family for displaying 54 Christmas trees in the White House. The "outrage" stems from Obama allegedly being extravagant with taxpayer money, "as Americans face a fiscal cliff," on "50% more Christmas trees than last year."
It seems unlikely, however, that Obama could do anything not to anger his detractors. Fox Nation's post comes from Investors.com which did almost the same story last year. Then, there were only 37 trees...
... It is also worth noting that in 2008, then-First Lady Laura Bush told ABC News, " I think there are 49 trees in the whole house, just decorated with snow and tinsel and bright lights." It is doubtful Fox Nation found fault with that, even though it was a mere two months after the stock market crash in October 2008.

There is a lot of variation among women when it comes to temping sensitivities. Some have to take it at the exact same time every day with at least 3 hours of sleep prior, with the same ambient temp, without any skin out of the covers, etc. Some are also very sensitive to stressors, strenuous exercise, travel, illness, injury, etc. Some have to take it vaginally b/c their oral temps just vary too much. I have also found that many women adjust to their sleeping circumstances whether that is sleeping through the night or waking 4-5 times a night and their temps reflect differences in that pattern.
Personally, I have always been able to see a biphasic pattern in my charts despite numerous nightwakings, breastfeeding, different waking times, different ambient temp, etc. And I know that others have success despite these things as well. So, while it is best to try and get your temp around the same time each morning, I would not go to great lengths to make it happen unless your chart is wildly erratic b/c of it. If your dd generally wakes you around the same time each morning, just temp then, before you get out of bed. I wouldn't wake myself up at 5am if I didn't have to! LOL! See how your chart looks and then go from there. Are you using www.fertilityfriend.com so you can share your chart for additional tips and opinions? :)
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
I wish i could give you a hug for making me smile, Jaimee! I don't wanna wake up at 5am, either. I guess my temps don't seem that sensitive to the time differences so far. I am happy to start temping again, because I feel though it's taking us longer than we'd hoped, I have some control over something here. And I forgot I can share my chart with people and get their opinions. [url=http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/202d6d/]My Ovulation Chart[/url]
Not sure if I did that right, though...
Thanks for the advice and encouragement!
Hello again! I tried to check out your chart, but there wasn't anything on the page you shared.
Here's my latest chart and what the link looks like: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/25f63a
You can see my slightly erratic pre-O temps from disrupted nights and my crazy CF, but still a biphasic pattern.
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
Hoping this works... I'm not very far
Thanks, I guess it's not as crazy all over the place as I thought. It does help to have another chart to compare too, and I looked at some others on ff.
Ok, new question. What am I doing wrong, how do you share your chart? Thanks again!
eta Hooray, figured it out!
Hi Marmo... have you still been temping? Your chart indicates you should be about 12DPO. Any sign of AF?

With President Barack Obama set to sign the health care bill on Tuesday, high-skill immigration issues are back in Congress and in court.
It is trying to convince the justices that the high-tech workers have been "foreclosed from applying for some American jobs," that have been reserved for students in the student visa program.
[ A House immigration bill would overhaul the H-1B visa program. | InfoWorld's Bill Snyder argues the H-1B visa has got to go. | Meanwhile, the Senate has approved strict rules on the hiring of H-1B workers. ]
The Bush administration extended the student visa "Optional Practical Training" program by 12 months to help relieve some of the demand for H-1B visas.
Schumer, who chairs the Judiciary subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security, has favored increasing the H-1B visa cap but his "blueprint" doesn't offer a specific proposal for that visa, although a direct path to a green card for advance degree holders would take some of the pressure off H-1B visas.
Out of the 85,000 H-1B visas allowed under the cap, 20,000 of them are specifically set for students who graduate from U.S. universities with advanced degrees. Workers who are today applying for the H-1B visa could apply directly for green cards, under this blueprint.
The immigration reform legislation would also require every worker to "obtain a high-tech, fraud-proof Social Security card" with a biometric identifier, which would be swiped by an employer.
The Obama administration has supported increasing high-tech immigration, and defends in court the Bush administration's decision to extend the student visas.
The government contends that tech workers don't have the right to challenge the visa extension because they weren't directly affected, and have "suffered no injury in fact because they cannot identify a job for which they were not hired, or from which they were fired. Instead, they assert that they suffer an injury from increased competition for jobs from nonimmigrants," the government said in its filing.
The Programmers Guild argues that the government is using the student visa beyond what it is intended for. The ultimate question, is whether the government has the power to bypass the cap in "order to ameliorate a perceived 'competitive disadvantage faced by U.S. high-tech industries,'" they wrote in a court brief citing part of the justification made by the government for extending the student visa work program.
The Supreme Court can decide anytime whether to consider this case next year.

I am currently a B cup but I hate the tear drop shape I was born with and want a much rounder shape with more projection but I dont want much more then a C cup. How should I explain that to a surgeon?
I Do Not Want to Add Much Size, I Want Round "At Attention" Breasts Like Andriana Lima
Doctor Answers 10
Explaining the implant size criteria
Consult with 3 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons to review your options and to determine which surgeon best understands your goals/objectives.
Learn more: http://www.drkrisreddy.com/west_palm_beach_breast_augmentation_palm_beach.html
Implant Selection Process
In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
Dr. Gill
Fuller = bigger
Based on your preop photo, you will never accomplish your goal without augmentation and a significant added volume. Breasts do not naturally sit up high and round in the upper pole without a bra. If there is less volume, or a tight skin envelope over modest volume, you will not accomplish the cleavage nor the projection you show in the other picture of your ideal result.
I think, based on your photos alone, you would require a substantial implant to achieve your "at-attention" look. Fuller does indeed mean bigger. I think you should consult with 1-3 board certifed plastic surgeons for a formal evaluation. I think you can achieve your goal but with a sizeable implant.
You might also like...
"I want to be fuller but not bigger" is not possible
I will occasionally hear a patient asking for something like you are. Often they will have had implants placed elsewhere and they want to exchange them for ones that are fuller but not bigger, sometimes even asking for smaller. This is NOT POSSIBLE. Fuller is bigger. The fuller, the bigger.
I do not want to add much size
i think your desciption of what you desire conflicts with the picture you show. generally a fairly large implant is needed to change the shape of the breast that you start with. there is a difference between pretty and natural. it is possible to have pretty breasts that are not natural.
How to pick breast implants.
How to pick breast implant sizes.
1) This is the most common type of question on RealSelf.
2) It is the surgeon's job to pick the right breast implants, not the patient's. Implant selection is really pretty technical.
3) Make sure your surgeon REALLY understands the look you want. Mentioning a cup size is not enough. Show your surgeon pictures of breasts you like.
4) Then your surgeon has to tell you if your chosen look is realistic for your anatomy. The most common mistake is to go too big.
5) I recommend that the surgeon NOT make a final implant choice in advance, because this is just an educated guess.
6) The surgeon should have a large inventory of different size and shape implants available in the operating room.
7) Then the surgeon can put sterile disposable implant SIZERS in your breasts during surgery, to see what a particular implant really looks like inside you. This is how to make the best choice. A sizer costs only $45, and takes all the guess work out.
8) Finally, the sizer is discarded, and the correct breast implants (based on what you want and on your anatomy) are opened from the operating room inventory, and put in your breasts to complete the operation.
I Do Not Want to Add Much Size, I Want Round "At Attention" Breasts Like Andriana Lima
As stated by another expert poster - bring photos. Speak and ask questions til you fully understand the realistic expectations. See at least 3 boarded PS's
Explaining your goal for breast augmentation
Correct communication is very important in breast augmentation in order to get the size and the look that you want. Your photo is a perfect way to start. What we can see is that you like the look of very full upper fill and cleavage, and the size may be fuller than the C-cup. The round upper breast also suggests that a subglandular silicone gel implant may be a good approach to give you the result. More information for your surgeon, the closer to the real 'you'.
Best of luck,

High riding perky fake looking breast are what a lot of patients are looking for these days
It has been interesting to talk with my patients about their goals for breast augmentation. While most patients have expressed a desire for larger natural looking breasts some patients express the desire to have high ridding perky fake looking breast. I have found that I have to listen carefully to my patients because what they want is a very personal and individual choice. Most patients still want soft natural looking fuller breast which I feel are best achieved with textured silicone breast implants placed through a peri areolar incision and under the breast, if the patient has enough breast tissue to cover the implant to prevent ripples.
My second choice is silicone gel implants trans axillary sub muscular. This is if the patient doesn't have enough breast tissue to prevent ripples.
What I have been amazed to find is a goodly number of patients, if you listen closely, want high ridding fake looking breasts. I find this best achieved by placing saline filled high profile implant under the muscle through the arm pit. this usually requires a little larger implant. I however allow the patient to chose their size.
This is also some thing I find very important. I have never understood how a Plastic Surgeon can tell the patient what is best for them. The size a patient wants is best chosen by the patient. I do this with putting different size implants in a very stretchy bra and going up to a size that they feel is too big then backing down to a little smaller. They will almost always choose the same size implant when they return to confirm their size. This is the implant they choose and this is the implant I put in. I do take into consideration the base diameter of the implant and the patients breast and explain to them if they have chosen an implant that would violate these measurements.
Some patients with all ready a good amount of breast tissue are often not candidates for this look. Certainly patients with any drooping of their breast are not candidates.

Size after augmentation
Bring that photo to your consultation. You state you want to not be bigger than a C cup. However, be advised that the model on the right;
1. is not a C cup- she is larger
2. she is probably pushed up and taped into that bra, so she does not look like that at all without clothes.
Look at many before and afters during your consultation and ask many questions. That is the best way to have a good discussion on expectations.

* C$ at C$0.9824 vs US$, or $1.0179 * Markets to digest Bank of Canada comments; U.S. GDP * Bonds flat to softer across curve By Jennifer Kwan TORONTO, April 27 (Reuters) - Canada's dollar edged higher against its U.S. counterpart on Friday and was on track for its best weekly gain since early March as investors were set to digest more comments from the Bank of Canada. Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney is scheduled to deliver a presentation on the economic outlook to an Ottawa business audience on Friday morning, and traders and strategists will be looking for any fresh clues on the timing of an interest rate hike. The central bank surprised traders earlier this month by suggesting that it was closer to raising interest rates as economic conditions improve at home and abroad. It kept rates steady at 1 percent, as expected, but signaled that it was starting to think more seriously about tightening monetary policy. "They've been pretty clear about what they intend to do. The more they say it the sooner the market seems to expect it's going to happen," said Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at TD Securities. "They've set out their intent. They just need the justification from the numbers." At around 8:10 a.m. (1210 GMT), the Canadian dollar was at C$0.9824 versus the U.S. currency, or $1.0179, slightly higher from Thursday's finish at C$0.9840 versus the U.S. currency, or $1.0163. Although the currency has been stuck in a tight range in recent weeks it was on track to notch its best weekly gain since early March. Still, the currency's gains were vulnerable to broader moves in global equities. Spanish and Italian borrowing rates nudged higher on Friday after a two-notch downgrade of Spain's sovereign credit rating, but world equity and currency markets shrugged off the move and Italy managed to sell almost 6 billion euros of new bonds. The picture appeared brighter in North America as U.S. stocks eyed a fourth day of gains on Friday, helped by upbeat corporate earnings. Osborne said strategists and traders would look to U.S. growth data on Friday for more clues on the economic outlook. In a potential wild card for markets, the first estimate of U.S. first-quarter GDP is expected to show the economy expanded at a 2.5 percent annual rate, a Reuters poll found, versus 3.0 percent in the fourth quarter. Investors have become cautious after signs of a softening recovery. Canadian government bond prices were mostly flat to softer across the curve. Canada's two-year bond sagged 1 Canadian cent to yield 1.381 percent, while the benchmark 10-year bond dropped 5 Canadian cents to yield 2.057 percent.

Adelaide is a backwater. It's not the view of the Property Council of South Australia, but it is apparently occasionally the view of its public affairs officer, George Inglis.
Inglis launched a remarkable attack on Twitter about the city where he works, seemingly in the wake of indecision about the controversial and uncertain redevelopment of Adelaide Oval. "We really are a pathetic backwater – I am sick of Adelaide and its citizens.''
It would come as no great shock that Inglis quickly regretted his spray and started the long process of making it up to the city and his employer. "I regret that the tweets selected for publication cast Adelaide in a bad light; I am passionate about this city and want to see it thrive.
"My tweets re Adelaide Oval published in the media today were my views and my views alone and do not represent Property Council views.''
Given the rivalry between the two cities, what might really have hurt the people of Adelaide is that he suggested he would be better off moving to Melbourne.

About 80% of commercially produced ammonia is used in agricultural fertilizers. Ammonia is also used as a corrosion inhibitor, in water purification, as a household cleaner, as an antimicrobial agent in food products, as a refrigerant, as a stabilizer in the rubber industry, as a source of hydrogen in the hydrogenation of fats and oils, and as a chemical intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, explosives, and other chemicals. Ammonia is also used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from combustion sources such as industrial and municipal boilers, power generators, and diesel engines. Ammonia is a component of the global nitrogen cycle and is essential to many biologic processes.
|May 1991
|The RfC for ammonia was posted to the IRIS database.
|Mar 2012
|EPA hosted an interagency science consultation meeting on the review of the draft Toxicological Review of Ammonia.
|Jun 2012
|EPA released the external review draft of the ammonia assessment for public review and comment.
Following external peer review and public comment, the assessment will be revised taking into consideration the comments received. It will then undergo a final internal review by EPA and other federal agencies and White House offices. After completing the review it will be posted to the IRIS database.

Me and Kate: the record straight
At the end of the week I am giving a lecture at the British Museum organised by our friendly rival, the LRB It's on "The Public Voice of Women", and I am afraid that it is sold out -- but all being well it will be filmed and broadcast on BBC4 in due course (which of course makes the preparation all the more scary.
Anyway in the run up to this (and supporting the home team, as it were) I did a big interview on the general subject for Saturday's Times. It's behind the paywall -- but those of you who go there can read it here (don't shoot the messenger!). If you're booked to come to the lecture, dont worry: it's not going to be a repeat of this -- I've been very careful about that.
I say "big interview". What I mean is that I talked to two journalists (Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson) for about an hour and a half, and they condensed it into a double page spread (dont know how many words that is, but with a picture etc, it isn't all that much). The conversation was a pretty wide one -- ranging from the prominence (or not) of women in politics, at all levels (important not to assume that "politics" is all about Westminster, it's about local councils etc etc too); through changes in Cambridge over my lifetime; what role models are available for kids (I wanted to stress that "impossible" fashion was nothing new, women -- and sometimes, but less often, men -- have always been urged to force themselves into impossible and uncomfortable shapes); tips for women who want to make their voice heard (dont have all that many, to be honest); internet abuse; to current reforms in education.
I thought they did a pretty good job, to be honest (thank you, Rachel and Alice).
Now, in the course of the interview we did touch on the Duchess of Cambridge and Hilary Mantel, for various reasons. I thought for example that the Mantel fuss last year was quite a good example of people telling a woman to shut up, without ever knowing what she had said. And we had a few words on how the different members of the royal family seem to offer very different ways of "being female and public". We talked about the Queen (and the image of the elderly more generally), Princess Anne (partly in the context of changing images), and Kate as the immaculate, admirable, maternal icon. There was some chat too about how people like Kate get imprisoned by their image (gilded prison though it is). Nigella Lawson would be another. Think of the cost for her of saying, "Stuff it, I'm fed up with this Domestic Goddess business".
The overall message was that (in general, with all the obvious exceptions) women play a higher price than men if they want to make their voice heard.
So far, so good.
The Times headline (wo)men, predictably enough I guess, picked out the bit about Kate -- to cast Beard, I'm afraid, as if she were a kind of wannabee Mantel. And that's what got featured in the little news item that they ran on the back of the interview.
All the same most people commenting online didn't fall for it, though a few did -- and in those cases I decided to reply giving a fuller story (this is always a hard call, but I reckon that if someone simply gets you wrong, it can be very important to say so -- else we just let "below the line" become a completely free for all, abusive fantasy).
So when someone called (rather alarmingly) PlatoSays started off:
"Women bitching about other women leaves me cold TBH",
I said:
"I really dont think this was "bitching". I hoped it was pretty clear from the interview that (despite the catchy headline) this was part of wider reflections of women's public voice and image. See no point in bitching." etc. etc.
All the same, it was a largely pretty polite stuff, even if (under the news item) Mr Ric Williams did seem to confuse me with Mary Berry: "She might be a Professor but no one outside the narrow confines of academia would be interested in her opinions if it wasn't for The Great British Bake Off."
But then -- wait for it -- it was picked up by the Mail and the Mirror. Their takes on the story were predictably different. The Mirror (bless them) ran with the headline "When I saw Kate Middleton's grey hairs I thought they were great" (it's their picture above) The Mail did include the grey hair bit in the head line, but started off "Duchess of Cambridge is prisoner of her maternal doll-like image.." To be fair, the rest of the article wasnt all that bad actually:
"Cambridge University classicist and TV presenter Mary Beard said that the Duchess of Cambridge has been reconstructed as an object of admiration following her 2011 marriage into the Royal family.
This has seen the future Queen transformed from a Berkshire woman into a beautiful 'vessel', she said."
Well I never actually said anything about Berkshire (didnt even know that is where she came from)! But the piece did go on to to raise the question that I raised: namely, if she is a construction WHO constructed her? (It's easy enough to talk about the construction of an image in the passive... but try it in the active?)
But around this fairly decent prose, there were of course the photos doing their own job: one of me looking like the back end of a bus, and Hilary Mantel not much better, next to a radiant Kate!
The comments below the line, almost 300 of them, were more divided than I expected. More than a half on my reckoning really laid into royalty, as lazy (grey haired) freeloaders. The others laid into me (with the occasional sideswipe at Mantel):
"Leftist feminists should not comment on the looks of other women but should rather look themselves in the mirror.", "Who is Mary Beard and who cares what she thinks ?", "Mary Beard has very little grip on the real world, as reflected in many of her comments. She is cocooned in her safe world of academia", "These two writers should stick to their typewriters. (They both have a typewriter vintage look.)", "Mary Beard is to be pitied if she truly believes that she is making any contribution by being unkind for no reason other than envy", "Cheap publicity for Beard (who does what exactly?)", "Mary Beard is a leftie professor who just talks nonsense like all other lefties", "How I wish that Mary Beard would just shut-up!"
And so on. To be fair none of it was really nastily offensive (on the internet troll scale of offensive). What was really striking, though, was the almost total lack of middle ground, or uncertainty, and the almost complete faith that the Mail article represented my views, fully and exactly.
This was a bigger nut to crack. So I decided to give it a day and respond to the most aggressive, and explain that this was a partial account of a bigger 90 minute interview, which had touched on Kate and other members of the royal family in the context of bigger issues about women's public roles, available on the Times website. Etc.
(So far the Mail vetting team havent actually published many of these responses.. but I'm hopeful).
But, for me, one day of giving patient responses is enough. After all, I now have to get the lecture actually written.
The funny thing is that the University's head of communications reminded me last week that the LRB lecture was what got Hilary Mantel into all that trouble. I was insouciant -- so he'll be laughing. But let me promise (him and you): Kate doesnt even get a walk on part in the lecture, and there will be rather more about Homer!

I'm probably going to get flamed for this. But.
I absolutely can't stand the whole turning male characters into females thing. Whether it's in manga or anime or even comics. I appreciate when costumes are done well and not just people trying to get attention or whatever, but Please. When there are perfectly good male designs and other Female characters who would wear basically the same thing, don't stick a guy in a dress without purpose. It's just plain annoying to me. A similar issue with it...if you're crossplaying, make it convincing. I get it, it's easier or whatever to slap on pigtails and a dress and call it a crossplay. Ladies, we know you're a lady when you've got your cleavage, okay? To put it bluntly...guys don't have boobies. I'm just saying.
Uhm..also...unrelated but...I think I must be one of the few people who still doesn't like MLP.
"People do not care. If you cannot keep up, you will lose everything."
Its not how tragically we suffer, but how miraculously we live.
This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

The biggest democracy nation of the world has yet to learn how to use democracy to its advantage. A nation where freedom of speech or protests are merely used to exploit Bollywood celebrities are constantly complaining why their government lacks efficiency improving lives of 'aam janta' (general public). The Janta or the public runs to protest if a celebrity is seen receiving a simple peck on the cheek, but fails to see positive cause of the campaign of AIDS awareness.

Aamir has lately shed his image of the 'one-man show-stopper'. In his directorial debut, he gives top billing to his juvenile hero, Darsheel Safary and happily and comfortably moves into a secondary position.
Aamir Khan is also known to be quite a perfectionist. I'm happy to say his directorial debut is not about the perfect shots. It's about getting it right by groping in the dark. It's about struggling to find a voice in a wacky and bustling wilderness…

There's bad and good news for Hrithik Roshan's fans in 2008. Hrithik's next starrer would not be directed by his father. In fact, papa Roshan has decided to take a long sabbatical from direction.
But hold on. Rakesh Roshan is producing a film to start in July 2008 that will feature Hrithik in a never-before avatar. "It's an action thriller with a strong love story at its heart. Anurag Basu, whom both I and Hrithik think very highly of, is directing the film for us," reveals Rakesh Roshan a week before year-end, thereby putting an end to all wild speculation about the seriousness of Hrithik's knee injury.

SNOW and ice is not deterring people from venturing out doors today, however warnings are still in place to only make journeys if they are absolutely necessary.
A night a sub-zero temperatures has seen snow turn to ice causing more difficult conditions on the roads.
It is the pavements, however, that are posing the biggest problem today as walkers slip and slide their way around.
In Dursley main roads are reasonably clear, but paths are very slippery. Long Street is still very icy and the long stay car park behind the Gazette offices is deserted as motorists decide to avoid the steep slope in and out of the area.
A spokeswoman for Dursley Town Council said: "The main roads around the town are ok with care, the paths are much worse, people are walking gingerly around. We have also received reports that it is very icy around Boots in the high street so take care around there."
In Wotton main roads were gritted last night, however side streets are still dangerous and the council is concerned that some paths have been made more dangerous by children on toboggans.
Glenys Sykes, clerk of Wotton Town Council, said: "Whilst it is great to watch the children having fun tobogganing in the snow, some are doing it in residential areas, which polishes the surface making it very dangerous for people. We would like to urge them to go off road instead."
Gloucestershire County Council has again been out over night gritting all major routes. Around 70 locally based farmers with tractor mounted ploughs are providing assistance to the authority to help open up more rural routes.
A spokesman for the county council said: "We've had the heaviest snowfall for years over the past two days.
"The situation is improving but it will be very cold with widespread icy patches forming on roads.
"We are expecting low temperatures for the next few days at least, with no sign of a thaw. Please take extra care on the roads which will be icy.
"We are gritting and salting but the salt is less effective at very low temperatures so don't travel unless it's absolutely essential."
