We need forthright consideration of what PNTR means and how it fits within our overall relationship with Russia. I urge that these are key points:
1. Jackson-Vanik was an amendment to a trade bill that was an important part of trade policy at that time. That amendment has served its purpose with respect to Russia. Russia now has a 20-year record of allowing its citizens to freely emigrate. Despite earlier efforts to repeal Jackson-Vanik separately, it has not proven possible to do so and it should now be repealed as part of action on PNTR.
2. There are clear commercial advantages to granting Russia PNTR. PNTR gives U.S. companies, workers, and farmers full advantages of Russia's WTO membership. And, as we all know, failing to grant PNTR does not prevent Russia from joining the WTO. It only prevents the United States from gaining the benefits of Russia's WTO membership.
3. Based on past experiences, there is reason to be concerned whether Russia will live up to the letter and spirit of its WTO commitments. In addition to a general concern as to whether Russia will comply with its obligations, there are specific concerns over Russia's enforcement of intellectual property rights; its commitment to join the WTO Information Technology Agreement; and its unjustified barriers to U.S. meat exports. We will likely discuss all of these issues in this hearing.
Because follow through is so important, as has been discussed between our staff and with the Senate, we should spell out specifically these trade issues in the PNTR legislation, not as conditions, but as clear understandings as to what actions will be taken by Russia.
4. There is significant cause for real concern about the status of the rule of law and human rights today in Russia. For two reasons, there is a need to find ways to reflect that concern in the PNTR legislation.
If there is an absence of a rule of law in the area of human rights, it is more likely to be absent in other areas, including commercial relations.
Further, trade between nations needs to be viewed as more than just about dollars and cents, because its impact is more than just that. This needs to be reflected in the contents of trade agreements, including PNTR, as it was with China PNTR.
So PNTR legislation should not be enacted without the Magnitsky bill to address gross human rights violations, and we should consider other legislative proposals to strengthen the rule of law in Russia and to protect and make whole U.S. investors that have been harmed by the lack of a rule of law there.
5. I believe that we share a very deep concern about tragic events in Syria. As we meet, its government is engaging in the slaughter of its people, including innumerable innocent, helpless children.
Somehow, each of us must raise our voices.
In their joint communication on Monday, President Obama and President Putin stated their purpose to "prioritize the expansion and diversification of our bilateral trade and investment through nondiscriminatory access to our markets based on international rules" and that "an important step in this direction is Russia's accession to the WTO."
In the same communication the two Presidents expressed their intention to stop the bloodshed in Syria and called for "an immediate cessation of all violence and express full support for the efforts of UN/League of Arab States Joint Special Envoy Kofi Annan, including moving forward on political transition to a democratic, pluralistic political system " The two Presidents were "united in the belief that the Syrian people should have the opportunity to independently and democratically choose their own future."
There is an overarching need to see if in the near future Russia acts to implement its words.
I know that PNTR may or may not provide this Congress considerable leverage regarding Russia's conduct relating to the Syrian Government and that in general there can be perils in linking trade and over-all foreign policy issues.
At the same time, the particular situation in Syria is extraordinary and dire.
Therefore, I urge that in order for us to carry out our committee's responsibilities with jurisdiction over trade issues, we work together on a bipartisan bi-cameral basis on a PNTR bill that
1.) includes the mentioned provisions relating to trade enforcement,
2.) will include Magnitsky legislation, and
3.) with the clear understanding that after a bill is reported out of Committee in the near future, action on the floor will be withheld for a period of time to determine whether Russia will join our nation and others in steps to address the Assad regime's horrendous violence against its own people.
We can do no less. Trade is about commerce; it also can be about conscience.

More than 200 girls were seized by Boko Haram insurgents two and half years ago, in the dead of the night from their hostel at Government Girls Secondary School, Borno state.
Twenty-one of those girls have now been released from captivity and while the circumstances surrounding their freedom remain unclear, the former captives must be relishing their new lease of life and wondering what the world was up to in the two-and-a-half years they spent in Boko Haram's stronghold.
All they sought was an education but what they got was a spell of captivity in the hands of marauding insurgents — terrorists who viewed them as their prize of war and bargaining chips.
Here are 21 significant events that have happened since the abduction of these 21 Chibok girls.
There was a global campaign for their release
World leaders, shapers, celebrities and powerful individuals championed the cause of the Chibok girls, agitating for their freedom and calling on Boko Haram to release them.
BBOG VS Nigerian government
The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) campaign, which is at the forefront of the campaign for the girls' release, has, for the past two years, endured a love-hate relationship with the government — both Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari's administrations.
Nigeria's economy receded
In August 2016, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) confirmed that Nigeria was in its worst economic recession in 29 years. According to NBS's gross domestic product (GDP) report for the second quarter of 2016, Nigeria's economy contracted by 2.06 percent to record its lowest growth rate in three decades.
Top judges got arrested
In an unprecedented move, operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) raided the residence of some judges in Abuja.
The judges whose house were raided included Adeniyi Ademola, Nnamdi Dimgba (federal judges) and Walter Onnoghen and Sylvester Ngwuta, both supreme court justices.
Buhari defeated Jonathan
Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated Goodluck Jonathan, the incumbent president, in the 2015 presidential election. The latter willingly accepted the result and conceded the election by placing a call to his victorious challenger.
PDP lost total control
In addition to losing the presidency, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost control at both the national assembly and across the state of the federation. It is now in control of 13 states, while APC has 22.
Budget 2016 was padded
The 2016 appropriations bill was allegedly padded by members of the national assembly. The document was said to have been altered by the lawmakers after it was sent to the house by president Muhammadu Buhari.
Jibrin opened a can of worms about Dogara
Abdulmuminu Jibrin, a federal lawmaker, made series of damning allegations against Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives.
Sitting senate president went on multiple trials
Bukola Saraki, the incumbent senate president, went on trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for false assets declaration and was also charged with forgery of the standing rules of the senate, alongside Ike Ekweremadu, his deputy.
Gowon accepted Musa as his son after release from jail
Yakubu Gowon, former head of state, accepted Musa, a 48-year-old ex-convict, as his son after a DNA test confirmed his paternity. Musa had spent years in a US jail for drug-related offences.
21 Chibok girls got scholarship
Twenty-one of the abducted Chibok girls who escaped from Boko Haram were given academic scholarships at the American University of Nigeria (AUN), Yola, owned by Atiku Abubakar, former vice president.
Monarchs died, politicians as well
In the two years and six months since the Chibok girls were abducted by Boko Haram, many monarchs joined their ancestors while some politicians died untimely.
The Ooni of Ife, Olu of Warri and Oba of Benin all passed away, and their replacements have been installed. Audu Abubakar died shortly after voting in the Kogi governorship election, for which he was governorship aspirant, while James Ochello, minister of state for labour, died alongside members of his family in an auto-crash.
Davido signed with Sony, Tiwa with Roc Nation
David Adedeji Adeleke, a Nigerian musician and entertainer popularly known as Davido (omo baba olowo), signed a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment while Tiwa Savage signed a distribution deal with the Jay Z-owned Roc Nation.
Don Jazzy and Olamide fought at the Headies
Entertainers Olamide and Mavin's Don Jazzy engaged each other in a war of words during the Headies awards — because the latter's artiste, Reekado Banks, controversially defeated Lil Kesh, signed by the former, to win the 'Next Rated Act' category.
Wizkid got to the top of Billboard charts
Ayo 'Wizkid' Balogun, Nigerian singer, became the first homegrown Nigerian artiste to be featured atop the Billboard music charts. Wizkid served as a featured artiste on 'One Dance', the commercial hit song of Drake Aubrey Graham, Canadian rapper.
Donald Trump VS Hillary Clinton contest
An unlikely scenario saw Donald Trump, a controversial real estate magnate, emerge the presidential candidate of the Republican Party. Trump is contesting for the US presidency against Hillary Clinton, candidate of the Democratic Party.
Ebola broke out
Patrick Sawyer, a Liberia-American, brought the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) into Nigeria in July 2014. Sawyer was discovered to have the deadly virus after being admitted at First Consultants Medical Centre, Obalende, Lagos.
In January 2016, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared West Africa Ebola-free, affirming that the transmission of the Ebola virus had been stopped.
Nkeki, Chibok girl, escaped
In May 2016, Amina Ali Nkeki, one of the abducted Chibok girls, escaped from Boko Haram captivity. Nineteen-year-old Nkeki was found with a baby by an army-backed vigilante group in Sambisa Forest.
Nigeria flopped at Olympics but excelled at Paralympics
Physically-challenged Nigerians were the success story that came out of the 2016 Paralympics in Brazil, winning a total of 12 medals while their "physically-fit" counterparts failed woefully at the Olympics.
Olajumoke, the bread seller, became a star
The world fell in love with a bread hawker, Olajumoke Orisaguna, who stumbled on the photo-shoot of Tinie Tempah, a British artiste. TY Bello, the photographer conducting the shoot, shared the story of Olajumoke on social media and the rest, they say, is history.
Leicester, the underdog, won the English premiership
The 2015/2016 season of the EPL, the most watched football league in the world, recorded a lot of surprises. The big boys stumbled while the unexpected underdogs made their supporters proud. Leicester City FC was one of such supposed "small boys", but the ended up winning the league while the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea faltered and watched in bewilderment.
Menace of Fulani herdsmen became widespread
Pastoral nomads, who are called Fulani herdsmen in these parts, unleashed a wave of attacks on citizens whose lands their cattle sought to feed on. Their attacks became more brazen and widespread in 2015 as their tentacles spread from the north to the southern part of the country.
Niger Delta militants began bombing oil installations
Following the change of government in May 2015, the seemingly rested case of militancy resurfaced. Niger Delta militants embarked on a spate of attacks on oil installations, crippling the economy in the process.
Biafra agitators became bolder
Agitators for secession and proponents of Biafra became more vociferous in their agenda to break away from the Nigerian state. Their protests became more common and their members repeatedly clashed with Nigeria's security agencies, leading to several deaths.
Naira began its free fall
The scarcity of the greenback in the forex market forced the Nigerian currency, the naira, to fall to its lowest rate in decades. The currency has continuously declined in value over the past few months is now exchanging for 468/$1.
Brexit! The United Kingdom left the EU
The United Kingdom chose Brexit when a vote was held to determine whether the nation should remain in the European Union (EU). At the moment, the UK is no longer part of the EU.
Boko Haram became affiliated with ISIS
Islamic terrorist sect and abductors of the Chibok girls, Boko Haram, got into business with ISIS, the richest terrorist group in the world.

Displaying your cellulite-free legs at the beach will let you feel as confident as the lifeguard who allowed himself to be swallowed by a shark so that he could beat it up from the inside. Be the star of the beach with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $60 for one Lipomassage treatment (a $120 value)
- $135 for three Lipomassage treatments (a $300 value)
- $240 for six Lipomassage treatments (a $600 value)
The Lipomassage system uses speed rollers and a vacuum-like mechanism to lift, fold, and compress the skin. By stimulating collagen production and boosting circulation, the relaxing massage can help diminish cellulite and minimize body volume. The treatment includes a complimentary garment that clients must wear during the procedure. For best results, treatments should be scheduled once or twice per week.
Body Shaping and Skin Care
The beauty experts at Body Shaping and Skin Care offer everything their studio's name indicates, including in-studio and at-home regimens designed to restore more youthful and radiant appearances. Cellulite vanishes with the help of their Lipomassage machine, which uses both suction and massage rollers to stimulate blood flow and enhance collagen production. Meanwhile, aestheticians handle everything above the neck with seven kinds of facial treatments, including anti-wrinkle lifts, eye serums, and forehead tattoos of the phrase "You're Beautiful." The skincare team can also make unwanted fuzz and stubble disappear during waxing treatments for the face and body, or boost lash length and volume with semipermanent extensions. The beauty experts reinforce results with at-home regimens powered by their mybody clinical skincare line.

Simply put, you don't know what you don't know.
Until something triggers you to dig into something or you get burned, you're oblivious. I'm talking about active mutual fund management fees. There have been some great articles and blogposts about how badly high mutual fund fees hurt Canadian investors, but John Heinzl's recent Investor Clinic video cuts to the chase quite nicely. If you only have 1 minute and 46 seconds to learn more about personal finance this weekend, this is my pick of the week.
Over the next couple of weeks, I hope to post a few book reviews. I've got a review almost finished about Rob Carrick's Guide to What's Good, Bad and Downright Awful in Canadian Investments Today and I had the pleasure of speaking with Dessa Kaspardlov, financial planner and author of The Fireman and the Waitress. Dessa was kind to send me her book for review a short time ago, I read it and I have a few comments to share about it. I hope you stay tuned for that.
Until I get to those posts, or others next week as the mood strikes, here's a great list of articles to check out this weekend.
Have a great weekend!
Canadian Couch Potato questionned whether you can protect your portfolio from drawdowns.

Canadian Oil Stocks wrote about Canuck oil companies riding the boom in New Zealand.
Larry MacDonald commented on a Fraser Institute report that said the Canadian health care system needs reform. Working in the heathcare industry, I agree, more work is needed.
Given today's small gap between variable rate and fixed rate mortgages, the variable rate mortgage might be dead in the water over the next couple of years.
Balance Junkie reminded us about the power of saying "no".
Prairie EcoThrifter told us how to save hundreds of dollars per year on your water bill.
Passive Income Earner wrote about high yield stocks. I own a few, but not many since I get nervous when yields are over 6% for a sustained period – there is a risk of a dividend cut. He said, and rightly so "avoid falling for really high yield stocks as it is usually a sign of trouble."
I provided Michael James on Money with some more content this week, and he did a really great job with his own, discussing debt service ratios based on gross pay. His graphs and narrative tell a good story.

I've wanted to order this jacket for a long time, but it always felt a bit risky to order a custom jacket from overseas.
I received the jacket last week and must say that it exceeds all my expectations. Looks awesome and fits like a glove. Thanks!

Layoffs in Minnesota and Chicago; LA Sheriff reaches out to Muslims; Death in Arizona.
From MPR in St. Paul: Shutdown Forces Mental Health Crisis Programs To Cut Services
Mental health providers say they're still trying to correct an "oversight" that has left them without funding for crisis services for people with severe mental illness.
Prior to the shutdown, a judge ruled that basic care and medical services would continue to receive funding. But 135 state mental health workers were among those laid off when the government shut down July 1.
From WBEZ in Chicago:Emmanuel To Lay Off 625 City Workers
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Friday he's laying off up to 625 city workers, after labor leaders blew a Friday deadline to come up with a list of cost-saving measures in order to avoid pink slips.
From WNPR in Hartford: Training Program Helps Low-Income Parents Help Kids
The two week federally funded program teaches low income parents how to better support their child's academics. Parents also learn how to navigate school bureaucracies, so youngsters get the help they're entitled to.
From Fronteras: LA Sheriff Reaches Out To Muslims As Feds Increase Surveillance
"Someone has to stick their neck out to defend Muslims," said (Lee) Baca. "We wanted to get ahead of the predictable problems that all counties face in America and that is, work closely with the immigrant public, which is a very big part of L.A."
From the Sundance Institute: Kickstart Death In Arizona
When I finally realized that I had lost her, I escaped to the desert of rural Arizona, where I would attempt in solitude to liberate myself from her. For the next months I battled my inner demons and the daily devastations of waking up without her. It was then that I picked up a camera and started shooting this process.

Trainee 19- Jasmine Juniper by Miha-HimeWatch
[ Name ] Jasmine "Beta" Juniper
[ Rank ]
[ Age ] 21
[ D.O.B ] December 2nd, 1991
[ Nationality ] Filipino , American
[ Spoken Dialect ] English ( Full ), Filipino ( Basic- unpracticed )
[ Class ] Hacker
[ Weapons ] Web
[ Partner ] N/A
[ Ability ] Silk Spinner
The User produces a tough, spider-like silk from special glands located in their mouth.
How it works:
The user has two special glands, "web sacs" in their cheeks, located where the lymph nodes would be. Their body produces a special, sticky gel in the sacs, which can either be spit out as a sticky glob, or can be spun with their fingers into a strand.
In order to produce the protein rich Silk the user has a higher protein synthesis than the average person.
Able to spin a strong silk thread to make into ropes, nets, or web. Once spun into a rope the silk is 1/4th an inch in diameter.
Can spit unprocessed silk as a glue or adhesive material, it can also be used to blind an attacking enemy if spat/thrown at their face and eyes. The the Silk gel has the equivalent stickiness to duct-tape, so can be pulled off by force but it might hurt or leave the skin red and blotchy.
The inside of the user's mouth is coated in saliva with a unique chemical property found only in the user, it keeps the adhesive property of the gel from sticking to the inside of their mouth and teeth. This evaporates when exposed to open air.
The spun silk is very durable, and can hold up to 3x the user's weight. ( Roughly 300lbs )
Very flexible, can stretch up to 30% it's original size without ripping or tearing.
The silk can maintain its durability even in extreme temperatures, between -40*F / 428*F
After 30 minutes of air exposure the silk will dry and lose it's initial stickiness, going from the adhesive property of duct-tape to the adhesive property of regular spider web (aka can still cling to things but is easily removed ).
During these 30 minutes the unspun silk will firm up into a congealed form but remains semi-flexible. Spun silk doesn't harden or firm up because it's been properly processed. (Any surface already stuck to something won't lose its stickiness because it isn't exposed to open air. It will maintain its duct-tape property until removed, then will take the same 30 minutes to properly 'dry')
Though it is durable to stretching and tearing, the thread can still be cut using any sharp instrument such as a knife or pair of scissors. It will also deteriorate if exposed to open flames.
If the user is dehydrated or suffering from dry mouth then the gel will stick to the inside of their mouth and potentially glue it shut. They shouldn't use their ability in these conditions- though it will reverse itself once the user is able to salivate again.
The user can only produce 20 feet of spun silk before depleting their reservoir, or 1 cup of "silk Gel", It takes 3 days to completely refill an emptied reservoir.
Spinning the silk takes time, 10 minutes for every foot of silk rope.
The ability is hereditary from her mother's side of the family. Nearly all of the women in their family have inherited some sort of spider-like mutation. This is why, when combined with their Greek ancestry, It is believed that they are potential Descendants of Arachne, the woman who, according to mythos, was turned into a spider by the Greek Goddess Athena and the mother of all Spiders.
It's unknown if her descendants inherited this 'curse' from Arachne, or if they were in fact the inspiration behind the mythology.
[ Psycho-Analysis ]
| Analytical | Detached | Tactless |
Calculating to an extreme, Beta is one who prefers to wait and analyze then rush any opinions or decisions. Isn't one to confirm something until she's tried every potential option and has double and even triple checked her work. This works well in her field as she's able to focus more on gathering facts and picking out relevant information.
While her work ethics are above-par socially Beta has a physical Detachment from other people. Capable of casual communication through message boards and audio or video chats, in person she is completely different. Beta dislikes physical contact and prefers other people to remain at least five feet away from her at all times. Very few people are allowed within this boundary, and only those she's developed closer relationships with- such as friends- can be closer without her showing discomfort. Though the detachment isn't simply physical; she also shows a lack of emotional response to other people's pain and suffering. Empathy is not in her personality.
By lacking a sense of empathy for others, it had led to Beta coming across as a tactless person. She will say what she wants to say without consideration for other people's feelings. If someone wants an honest opinion about something, she is the one to go to.
[ Biography ]
Born to a young couple in the Philippines, her early childhood was one of little excitement. She was raised in a small house with a working dad and stay at home mother. Her father worked in manual labor, earning just enough money to keep the family fed and clothed, and enough to put into savings for their daughter. They hoped for their daughter to excel at school and get a good education, something that could drive her to get a good job in the future, and a good life for herself and their family. As she started to learn to talk and read, her mother took time from her day to teach her basic numbers and math, wanting to give their little girl a head start.
Using the money they had set aside they enrolled her in preschool and kindergarten classes at Felipe G. Calderon Elementary School. This was something only privileged children got to attend normally, but with drive and determination her family pushed her to join the classes as well. At 6 she was enrolled in first grade at Felipe G. Calderon Elementary. It was a good school, with a science lab, mathematics lab, and even a computer lab.
In the same year her younger brother was born, and her father had to start taking double and triple shifts to keep affording their mediocre but happy life. This put stress on him, and he often came home tired and exhausted, going straight to bed and rarely talking of visiting with the family. Their mother worked hard to fill the family home with plenty of love, but she felt the attention slipping from her as her baby brother was quite the handful. She started pursuing her education more hands-on, wanting to earn back her parents favor and notice, making sure to study hard, spending extra hours at school to finish all of her assignments.
At seven she came down with a sore throat and mouth, feeling that her glands were swollen and her jaw ached. She refused to stay home from school that day, regardless of the discomfort. However half way through the school day the aches were becoming worse. She left the class room to use the bathroom, looking inside of her mouth in the first mirror. What she noticed scared her, as it looked like she had an open sore in the back of her cheek. She packed her cheek with wet paper towel and returned to the class room, though was quiet and didn't talk the rest of the day. She went home immediately after school to tell her mother- who was quite shocked when she tried to pull a piece of towel out of her mouth, only to find silken strings attached to it when she started to pull it out.
Her mother sat her down that day, and told her that she was… special. She told her about their, how the women in their family called themselves 'Weavers'. Her mother showed her that she could do the same, teaching Beta how to spin the silk she made into thread and rope. It awed the girl, calming her fears when she saw that her mother could do the same. Her mother hadn't told her sooner, hoping perhaps it had skipped her daughter. But seeing that it hadn't, she taught her small steps to control it, and that she needed to keep it secret from her father and brother.
At 8, by her own determination she enrolled into an after school computer class at the campus. With their school having its own computer lab she was a lucky girl to have this opportunity. The teacher took notice of her drive and efforts, and she was able to excel in her lesson. She was doing so well over the next two years that the Teacher in charge of the computer lab donated one of the old school computers to her family. He wanted her to use the computers more and have more opportunities than she had previously available. She loved the chance it provided; trying to learn everything there was about the computer she was given.
Driving her own education she joined a series of internet chartrooms for students, using this as a chance to better her English language skills and talk to other students all around the world. They helped each other with homework, life problems, provided a source of relationships she had started to lack due to how busy she kept herself at school. One of the members of the chatroom, a boy from America, quickly became online friends with her. They exchanged emails, and names. His name was Jacob. He always helped her when he was online, and was always there when she logged online to vent about a bad day at home.
Her mother started to question the gifts and presents that arrived in their mail box, little trinkets that her daughter quickly stole to her room. They thought she was buying things online without their permission, didn't understand when she told them they were presents from a friend in America. The boy was wooing her, and she was sure this was love. At the age of 13, loving a boy seemed to make so much more sense. She focused less on her studies, always hiding away to talk to him online. Her parents were furious, wondering what had happened to their clever daughter. They tried to limit her time online, banning her from the chatrooms. She was sure they were trying to ruin her life. How could they do that to her, after everything she'd done?
Her father lost his job, and her brother was starting school now. It was a rough time at home-for a teenager- and after a fight with her family she locked herself away in her room. Using the phone Jacob had sent her to text him that she couldn't take it anymore. That's when he asked her to come to America, to run away with him. He was going to Visit the Philippines, and he'd bring a Fake ID and a passport for her, and they could go to America, together.
They had it all planned out. A few weeks later she snuck out of the house, packing only a single bag full of clothes, and ran away. She met Jacob at the airport, he was older than she had expected, but she didn't care. They were in love. He pretended to be her father, and with the passport he had forged for her and the false ID, he got them onto a plane to America.
"Jasmine Juniper" moved into a Foster Family in California at 16. She was receiving regular therapy sessions, and it was by the encouragement of her therapist that she started to work on relationships with people again. It was important that she set life goals, didn't shut people out, and found ways to keep her busy and moving forward, rather than feeling like her life was over. It took her months before she felt comfortable getting online again, and joining a few chat rooms. Though she never trusted anyone like she had trusted Jacob, it was a safe environment to talk to people without having to volunteer anything personal, or to be exposed to them. She was completely in control here, able to log off or on at her leisure.
At her school in California her foster family signed her up for Computer Classes. She hoped they would remind her of her childhood, the good times before moving to America. Though she was behind in most of her subjects she had help from private tutors to catch up in her studies. Her foster family provided a lot of support, and she started to grow closer to them and rely on them more. At school her relationships were limited, and she didn't let anyone touch her. She avoided physical contact as much as possible, as it made her increasingly uncomfortable. However she was able to pursue her education, finding relief in the familiar drive to study and learn.
At 18 she graduated High school and received a full scholarship from the government, as a female of a minority and a foster child. She chose to go to a technical college in California, and earned her Associates Degree after two years. She was able to get a job as a QA tester for cell phones, starting at an early stage. She enjoyed the job, it was a lax environment but she was able to excel for the simple fact that she had the drive to do the work, rather than just play around like lots of other employees did. Instead of completing the bare minimum, she worked hard to find bugs and defects.
By the time she was 21 she had earned the nickname "Beta" from her co-workers, as she was typically the company's first pick as a Beta Tester for new apps and phones. She enjoyed her job, as the complex and time consuming process of bug testing was a great way to take up time and required a lot of repetitive tasks that kept her distracted. At home she studied additional methods of bypassing firewalls and cracking security keys through overwhelming spams. As a QA tester she learned new ways to break programs and apps. Using online sources she studied making ciphers, going above and beyond the line of requirements for her work.
Then, in 2013, she saw a particularly unusual news report that exposed a supposedly 'hidden' Organization that wore white coats and colored glasses. At first she didn't think anything of it, but the following day everyone at her work was talking about the news and how it had all but disappeared from the internet minutes after airing! Like any 'leaked' video, the hype only increased when no one else could get it. People tried torrenting the original broadcast, uploading it to any server they could, but always the video was pulled as soon as it was up. Even Beta couldn't resist the temptation to try and get the video, as many of her co-workers had failed.
That night after work she sat down and started her search. Pulling any leads and comments in the online community regarding it. Through an anonymous tip she wound up on a Government Web page. It required passwords and security to access any of the files, and Beta felt up to the challenge. She started running one of her self-made ciphers, overwhelming the security login with repeated attempts until she had decoded the security key and broke through to the encrypted files. However, as the page started to load her screen froze, a pop up opening and filling her entire desktop screen. It had a single logo on it, no words. Just a black circle with a pair of light blue glasses. Her computer had completely locked down, and she had to unplug it to turn it off. She didn't dare touch it for the rest of the night and went to bed a failure.
The next day she logged into her computer and saw she had received an email from "A-gents", the subject included her full name. Feeling a cold chill she deleted the email without opening it. After that she received no further notifications, and also gave up trying to find that news report video. However, the "A-gents" weren't done with her quite yet… 2 months later she had visitors come to her house. A short woman with dark hair and amber eyes, and a taller, dark skinned woman with a streak of pink in her bangs. They introduced themselves to Beta, and told them they knew about her 'trick' she had pulled on the government website. Beta, fearing they were here to arrest her for illegally accessing a government website was surprised when they told her they wanted to offer her.. A job.
Initially, Beta was hesitant to trust them. Especially when they asked her to transfer to their headquarters for proper training. She knew better than to agree to go anywhere with someone she had just met, especially online. After a knowing look the two women changed their terms. They offered her a trial position, one she could work on from home. She would receive 'training' over a secured server and they'd provide online lessons and give her small assignments, which she'd be paid for. She accepted this, on the terms that she could quit any time she wanted.
After a few months of this, and a regular pay-check, she came to trust that their offer was a Legit one. No one questioned her further or continued to push her to transfer, but she knew that she was only getting partial lessons and floater jobs. This wasn't real work, but the work itself was interesting. She wanted to know more, to really put her skills to the test.
Finally, she contacted her mentor during their next training session, and requested to continue her training from HQ.

ZURICH, Switzerland For Tyson Gay, the best things come in threes.
"I did not get the world record, but winning gold was my other goal this season," Gay said after teaming with Darvis Patton, Wallace Spearmon and Leroy Dixon to give the United States a win in the 400-meter relay on Friday at the Weltklasse Golden League meet.
Running the third leg, Gay accelerated around the curve to make up ground on Christopher Williams of Jamaica, allowing Dixon to finish in 38.40 seconds. Jamaica was second, 0.42 seconds back.
Gay, who last week swept the 100 and 200 world titles and added a 400 relay gold to join Carl Lewis and Maurice Greece as the only men to complete the feat at a single championship, said he is tired, sore and looking forward to some down time in his native Kentucky.
He said he hasn't decided about the rest of the season, which includes the Golden League's final meets in Brussels, Belgium, and Berlin. With the 2008 Olympics in Beijing a year away, the sprinter said he's not taking any risks.
"I'm not 100 percent sure what I'm going to do," said the 25-year-old, who pulled out hours ahead of the 100 race in Zurich on Friday night, citing fatigue and sore hamstrings. "I hope my body will get better and I will still have some races this season."
For Sanya Richards, the meet Friday evening in Switzerland provided a measure of consolation after she missed out on a gold at the world championships in Osaka, Japan.
Richards kept alive a shot at sharing in the million-dollar Golden League Jackpot by posting a world-best time of 49.36, nearly 1 1/2 seconds faster than anyone else.
"It was mentally tough for me tonight but I was ready to pull out a great victory. It was my world championships today," said Richards, last year's World Female Athlete of the Year.
The 22-year-old failed to qualify for the 400 at worlds after finishing only fourth at the U.S. trials when she came down with a rare immune system disorder.
Newly crowned world champion Christine Ohuruogu of Britain was fourth, 1.96 off the winning pace.
Richards' teammate Michelle Perry's hopes of a share of the money ended when she finished third in the women's 100 hurdles. But Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva - who defended her world championship title at Osaka - won to remain the only other athlete still in the chase.
The jackpot is split among athletes who win their selected event in all six Golden League meets.
Despite her costly disappointment, Perry hugged Swedish winner Susanna Kallur, who finished 12.66. World bronze medalist Delloreen Ennis-London of Jamaica was second in 12.68. Perry finished third with the same time.
Francis Obikwelu of Portugal won a depleted 100 race in 10.17, ahead of Britain's Marlon Devonish, who finished in 10.20. Jaysuma Saidy Ndure of Norway was third in 10.20.
The evening began with French athletes sweeping the first two major races after Osaka, where France failed to win a single event. Two-time European champion Mehdi Baala won the 1,500 immediately before Christine Arron triumphed in the women's 100.
"It was hard for me after Osaka," said Baala, who was disqualified in the semifinals in Osaka. "I came home and everybody was telling me 'You are the best.' So it was very important for me to win today."
American Alan Webb, the world leader this season, fared little better than he did at the worlds, fading in the last 200 meters and finishing seventh in 3:39.69. In Japan, Webb led most of the way but also fizzled on the home stretch and ended up eighth.
Arron - who finished a disappointing sixth last week - led from start to finish, winning in 11.17. Torri Edwards was runner-up in 11.22, with Carmelita Jeter third in 11.24. Lauryn Williams, the 2005 world champion who lost a photo finish to Jamaica's Veronica Campbell in Osaka, placed seventh, 0.07 seconds off the winning pace.
"It was for me a small revenge after Osaka," Arron said.
Xavier Carter - who failed to qualify for Osaka because of a right leg injury she got in June at the U.S. championships - won the 200 in 19.92, beating world silver medalist Usain Bolt, who finished in 20.19.
Bernard Lagat - the first man to sweep the 1,500 and 5,000 at a single world championships - won a tactically perfect race in the 3,000.
Lagat took the lead going into the final lap, before letting Edwin Soi pass him with about 250 meters to go. But the 32-year-old Lagat surged past the Kenyan on the home stretch to win comfortably in a repeat of his victories at the worlds.

Quezon City, Feb. 25, 2003 -- Kris Aquino's objected to Robin Padilla's comment that an onscreen kiss is different from a kiss filled with love because "pwede mo nang gawin lahat," a remark he had to explain during the press conference for their movie "You And Me Against the World."
"Hindi natin ginawa lahat, promise," Kris complained.
But Robin explained that he meant otherwise, citing that a personal kiss meant being relaxed with unrestricted movements by his lips to the person he was kissing.
Robin Padilla had to feed 60 needy people every after a kissing scene he did in the movie. Having three kissing scenes in the film meant feeding a total of 180 people, as required by his religion.
Kris' admitted that it was easy to do their kissing scenes because "pareho kaming magaling humalik and may pinagdaanan naman kami."
(Editor's note: Kris and Robin had a controversial relationship 12 years ago which almost resulted in an elopement. The affair ended only after a crying President Cory Aquino greeted the young actress on her birthday by videotape during a live guesting on Inday Badiday's TV show.)
"You and Me Against the World" is about Paolo Guerrero (Robin Padilla), a former criminal trying to live a peaceful life in Mindanao, who gets entangled again in the web of crime when he came back to Manila.
The movie also stars Ramil Rodriguez, Jackie Aquino, MJ Maranan, Ricardo Cepeda, Rommel Padilla and newcomer Elizabeth Burton.
"You and Me Against the World" is directed by Joe Carreon. (By Crispina Martinez-Belen, Bulletin)

This past year we have been told that my son has Asperger's as well. He too is six. After a year of struggles, he still seems to have up and down days in school. My son now has a TSS worker full time, and a BHS (be3havioral specialist). As someone stated above, My son too is very intelligent in some areas, but lacks in others.
The past two years, my son loved to tantrum at home. His yells and screams were so bad, one neighbor threatened to call CYS. For a simple time out.
This is all new to me as well. There is a lot of support and help around, as I am beginning to learn.

Every dad wants to be the cool dad.
...and a few times a week I get to be one.
Taking her to school in the morning might as well be Christmas day Monday through Friday.
I'll enjoy it until she is older and then nothing I can do will be cool, no matter what. :lol: :(
I am so incredibly jealous!!!!! She's going to always think you're cool, I'll bet.
Naw- that darling child transforms into a teenager- sort of like zombies. But the cool factor DOES return- with your grandkids! :cool:
Seriously, enjoy the daylights out of your kids- they get big so fast it is amazing. In 2 months I am going on a field trip (as chaperone) with one of my granddaughters. It seems like last month I did the same thing with her mother. And your munchkin is a cutie!

Women, wealth and finance.(19th century Italy)
The paper provides some new evidence on the economic role and position of women in nineteenth century Italy, especially pointing out their financial resources and choices. In 1865, the introduction of a new civil code in the Italian Kingdom corroborated women's dependence from men. Wives needed their husband's authorization both to handle autonomously their own property and entering in trade. Women on the whole were hindered to practise liberal professions and they had no free access to secondary schools. However, as equitable inheritance was stated and sons and daughters had acquired -more or less- the same rights on their parents' property, women's proprietorship was not occasional nor trifling at the time. The share of wealth detained by women is the first question the paper focus on. Then attention turns to the financial assets held by women: inferences on their investment behaviour are drawn and compared with that of men. Some considerations on women's function in the credit market finally follow. The research is based on fiscal sources, estate and income tax returns. More precisely, all the papers recorded at the Registar Office of Milan in the period 1862-1900 have been taken into account and a data base including personal information and gross amount of the estate has been built. Besides, a list of taxpayers published by the Ministry of Finance in 1872 has been considered and analysed. The figures resulting from the elaboration of the available information show, on one hand, the expected high degree of gender inequality, on the other hand, the significant weight of female wealth. On the whole the value of women's property is re-evaluated and the significance of women financial activity is , also with regard to Italy, assessed.

Dehydrated Potato Flakes
Potato Snacks
Processing Additives and Functions
How They're Made
Potato flakes are dehydrated mashed potatoes made by applying cooked, mashed potatoes to the surface of a single-drum drier fitted with applicator rolls, drying the deposited layer of potato solids rapidly to the desired moisture. The dried sheet of product is broken up then ground to a specific density as required by the customer. The largest size of flake Oregon Potato Company produces is a 5/8" milled product. The smallest is a course ground flour.
Two types of potato flake processes may be employed. One process employs a precook, cool and steam cook prior to drum drying. This process along with additives produces an end product that is suitable for reconstitution into mashed potatoes. Stickiness is minimal when reconstituted, providing a mealy product. When finely ground, this product produces a moderately sticky product when reconstituted.
The other process employs only steam cook prior to drying and is generally ground into flour. The uses for this type of product, which has higher stickiness, differ from the previously described product. This product is mainly used in the manufacture of pellets or die cut sheet snacks.
In summary, uses vary with product characteristics.
Processing Additives & Functions
Mono & diglycerides:
Ties up free starch to reduce stickiness and to provide release from the drum dryers.
This is a required additive.
Sodium bisulfite-To inhibit browning: color control
Sodium and pyrophosphate-to inhibit greying: color control
Citric acid-process aid for emulsions stability.
BHA, BHT-to inhibit oxidation:for preserving flavor
Color, spice and vitamins-added as required by the customer
All additives are optional except mono & diglycerides.
Potato Snacks
Potato snacks may be made from many potato sources - fresh, dry flakes, dry granules, and dry crushed as well as flour from crushed, and potato flour and potato starch. Most snacks utilize combinations of potato ingredients as well as other ingredients.
With potato flakes and ground flake, the greatest use is for fabricated chips. The chips are usually die cut from a sheeted dough prior to frying. Frying is in a free floating state if shape is not a factor, or in a fixed position if uniform shape is desired.
Formulas for these products are usually proprietary for each company. However, most will employ use of ground potato flakes, potato starch and an emulsifier (usually a monoglyceride). The dough must have a somewhat elastic characteristic and the correct moisture content to allow it to be sheeted thin prior to cutting without crumbling or falling apart. Small amounts of maltodextrin can be used to aid in dough and chip consistency.
Some companies in Europe and Asia use flakes or ground flakes as a base for pellets that, when fried, will expand to a very crispy light snack. That technology is a little more extensive since it usually requires cooking, extruding, cutting and drying to below 9% moisture to produce an intermediate product that can either be stored or fried to produce the final end product.

DoCoMo readies for Ł5bn offering
Japan's largest mobile phone operator NTT DoCoMo is to go ahead with plans to sell up to 800bn yen ($6.8bn; Ł4.6bn) worth of new shares.
The share sale is intended to raise funds for worldwide investments, including a 16% stake in AT&T Wireless of the United States.
It will be Japan's biggest offering of new shares by a listed company.
But it comes at a difficult time for telecoms firms, which have seen their share prices eroded in recent months over concerns ranging from expensive network licences, high debts and slowing revenues to safety issues and the general gloom overshadowing the technology sector.
Orange competition
DoCoMo will additionally be competing for investor interest with France Telecom, which earlier this week began marketing shares in its Orange wireless division.
Many of the world's other big mobile outfits will be watching the progress of the sales closely.
Carriers including Deutsche Telekom, KPN of the Netherlands, British Telecom and the US' Verizon, BellSouth and SBC are all aiming to venture into equity markets this year.
DoCoMo's need to tap the market stems partly from a $9.8bn investment in AT&T Wireless, announced in November.
The company also needs substantial funds to develop third-generation mobile phone services. It hopes to be the world's first operator of such a service, with a launch date in May.
Credit rating protected
Analysts said DoCoMo was financing its expansion through a share issue rather than just bank loans out of a desire to protect its credit rating, which might have been at risk if debts mounted any more.
Earlier this month, the carrier clinched a 1,200bn yen loan deal with five Japanese banks.
The share sale is DoCoMo's first since its flotation by parent company Nippon Telegraph & Telephone in 1998.
Amounting to about a 4.6% stake, it will dilute NTT's share of the company to 64% from 67%.
Some 400,000 shares have been allocated for sale in Japan and overseas, with a further 60,000 available for investors based outside Japan if demand is sufficient.
Shares hit 16-month low
DoCoMo shares have slumped more than 30% since early December, dragging the Tokyo stockmarket's benchmark Nikkei 225 index down by about 10%.
On Friday, DoCoMo climbed 1.03% to 1.97m yen, up from a 16-month low reached the day before.
Japan had 58 million mobile phone users in 2000, up 20% from the previous year.
DoCoMo said it had 34.2 million subscribers as of end-December, of which 17.6 million used its "i-mode" internet-enabled phones.
Some 26.8 million people or 46% of the total market had internet-enabled phones - a penetration level well in advance of US and European markets.

Soccer Drives Soumah's Ambitions in U.S.
Oct. 21, 2013
A few minutes after practice at Cal State Fullerton, Amara Soumah catches his breath on a nearby bench. The junior transfer forward looks down at his cleats. Even after running them into the ground for a month, the shoes looked brand new: navy with a big yellow Nike swoosh stretching across the side. "We didn't have these back home," he says, untying his laces. Soumah was born in Conakry, Guinea, in West Africa. Soccer became his anchor in the face of rampant violence, poverty and war.

Reviews for Spicy Touchdown Chili
Average Rating
"I made half the recipe to try it out and was pleased with the results, however, the heat level was a bit too much. I didn't have cumin in my spice cabinet, so that was eliminated. The recipe called for 1/8 cup of chili powder (1/4 cup for whole recipe), but I only used one tablespoon and I also eliminated the cayenne pepper. It was definitely a spicy chili even with those adjustments and my family was blowing their nose at the end of the meal! The flavor was great and I will make this again, however, I will cut back even further on the chili powder and jalapenos."
"This is excellent! Makes a ton. I froze a couple freezer bags full. Really good flavor with the beer and bacon."
"Made this because of good reviews and ease of preparation. I've made it twice now, love it and don't even like beer. Friends and family gave it awesome reviews! Super easy to make. When I first tasted it, I thought it wasn't too hot but the heat kind of sneaks up on you. You get a pleasant heat then it fades away. Not enough to make you sweat but it definitely let's you know it's there. At least that's how it worked with me. I did add an extra 1/2 pound of beef because I had it and left out the bacon because I didn't. Still great! This recipe pretty much filled my 6 quart crock pot. It's all good. Froze leftovers in single servings to take for lunch. My friend wants me to make sure I make enough for his lunch, too! I'll be making this for our next chili cook off! BOOMER!!!!!!!"
"I made this today and declare it a winner. I cooked it in my Instant Pot on the slow cooker mode. We loved it. You can adjust the heat by the amount of jalapenos, cayenne pepper, and hot or mild Rotel tomatoes you add. Use the mild Rotel and less peppers for a milder dish. I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. Wonderful flavor. I highly recommend it.Volunteer Field Editor."
"It was very good.. definitely could taste the beer. I wasn't sure I was crazy about that, but my husband thought it was great."
"We really liked this recipe which I made exactly as stated, but next time I think I will add a couple of more cans of beans. Great amount of meat for high protein which was what I was looking for, but with more beans even more protein!"
"I made this exactly to the recipe. (Except the store was out of Jimmy Dean sausage, so I used Tennessee Pride or something.) The only thing I added was some crackers when I served it. At first I thought that it was just another chili recipe, pretty much like most others. However, the more I ate the more I decided that it was perfectly seasoned, had just the right amount of heat, and was pretty simple to make. I'm giving it 5 stars. It's going in my recipe box."
"What kind of Beer did you use?"
"Very good. Even my son who doesn't like chili asks me to make it. I usually have 2 crockpots going because a single batch is never enough!"
"This was a very good chili. I liked the spice and the ease of assembly."
"I am blown away by how great this chili is! I do not like anything that is very spicy, however, my daughter and husband do, so I made this recipe for them and ended up eating even more than they did! I thought my old recipe was the best, but all three of us voted to make nothing but Spicy Touchdown chili! The only change I did was to use Italian Sweet sausage instead of the sausage called for, and I put one small can of spicy spaghetti sauce into it as it didn't appear to have enough liquid. However, when it had cooked for awhile, I could see that it would have been fine without the extra sauce."
"I've made different chile recipes over the years but my family said this one was the best. I was a bit concerned that it would be too spicy as some of the sausage I used was hot Italian so I used a bit less cayenne, switched one can of the tomatoes with chile for plain diced tomatoes and added about a cup of tomato sauce and a small can of tomato paste. Next time I think I'll use a bit more bacon to make sure that taste comes through but this will be our go to recipe for chile going forward."
"I love this chili so much! It is sooo good and the flavors all mix so well together and the spice that it has, oh it is wonderful!!"
"Made this for Super Bowl party and It's a big hit! This will be my go to chili recipe from now on."
"chili was good and had just the right amount of spice. I think next time I would do a little less beer. I felt like I kept getting a scent of beer the whole time. But it was still overall delicious"
"I have made this several times. It is my new go to chili. I love the spicy flavor. I will be making it for my super bowl party! All of my friends really enjoy it too."
"This recipe is awesome! I cooked it for 5 hours and followed the recipe exactly. I did add more bacon though. The chili definitely has a kick, but not too bad to where your mouth is on fire. I will make this again for sure!"
"I left out the cayenne pepper bc so many reviews said it was "too hot". Other than that, I made the recipe exactly as shown. Best chili I have ever had in my life!!! However, the chili could have been spicier. I would reccomend either making this recipe with the cayenne or using hot diced tomatoes with green chiles rather than the mild if cayenne seems like it would be too spicy for you."
"Chris: I have been making what I claimed to be the best chili ever for 45 years. I was wrong! This is the best ever in my opinion. Modified it just a little with 2nd can of tomatoes and only 3 cans of beans. Sautéed onions and garlic (4 cloves) and then cooked with the ground beef. Added 1t of crushed red chipotle for just a hint of smokiness. Bacon really adds a nice subtle touch. My new favorite chili recipe. Thank you...a fan of yours from Joliet, IL."
"This was great! My kids do not usually like chili at all, and they gobbled this up. I do have to agree with previous reviews that it would have been REALLY spicy if you made it according to the directions. I made a few changes because I could tell it would be too spicy for the kids before I made it. I left out the pickled jalapenos and I cut the cayenne down to 1/2 teaspoon. I think next time I might use Italian sausage instead of regular pork sausage, and then leave the cayenne out completely. I also thought there was a LOT of beans, so I'd leave out one can of the pinto beans. We added cheddar cheese, sour cream, and saltine crackers, and it was perfect! We will definitely be having this again."
"I'm sorry I have to say this, but this chili was just too 'hot' and way too 'spicy' for our taste. We like 'heat' and 'spice', but this chili had just too much of it. My husband said all you could taste was the 'heat' in the chili, and nothing else. When adding the ingredients to the crock, I also added an extra 14-1/2 ounce can of diced tomatoes with basil, oregano, and onions, even after I had added the 4 cans of beans, as there really wasn't much liquid in this chili. I cooked the chili for 4-1/2 hours on low, but if you want your chili heated through abit more, I would turn the setting on 'high' after 4 hours of cooking time, and finish cooking on 'high' for the remaining 30 minutes. While eating my chili, I had to add lots of shredded cheddar cheese, as well as lots of sour cream, to cut down on the heat. Afterwards, I ended up adding 2 (15 ounce) cans of tomato sauce, to help cut back on the heat, and to make sure it had the texture I prefered. Sorry I wasn't able to give this chili a better review, but I don't think I'll be making this again."
"Best chili recipe ever! It makes a ton!"

Cohen & Steers Realty Shares
As InvestorPlace's Chris Johnson noted in a recent post, real estate investment trusts also should benefit nicely from QE3. That industry is highly sensitive to changes in interest rates; and real estate looks on the road to recovery as is.
One fund to look at here is Cohen & Steers Realty Shares (MUTF:CSRSX), which manages $4.9 billion in assets.
The portfolio managers, which include Martin Cohen and Robert Steers, started the fund 21 years ago. The duo have a disciplined focus on finding values, but also make sure their REITs have strong rent potential. Some top holdings include Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG), Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE:VNO) and Public Storage (NYSE:PSA).
Returns have been solid during their tenure, with an average annual gain of 10% in the past 15 years. That performance has earned a four-star Morningstar rating, and comes at a reasonable 0.96% in expenses … though the minimum investment is a sizable $10,000.

A Kroger Marketplace opens today in Athens with a host of offerings not generally available at traditional Kroger stores.
Located on Highway 29 North near its intersection with Hull Road, the 123,000-square-foot grocery titan will offer home fashion, décor and bed and bath items, kitchen and small appliances, and clothing.
The store will also feature a Starbucks, a vitamin shop, a drive-through pharmacy, a floral shop and an expanded cheese shop.
It is also estimated that the new Kroger Marketplace will deliver more than 400 new jobs to the area.
"Kroger has served the Athens area for more than 56 years," Glynn Jenkins, director of communications and public relations for Kroger's 184-store Atlanta Division, said in a news release. "We are incredibly excited to bring this great community a new store that will continue to provide a convenient shopping experience with even more product choices."
A grand opening celebration is scheduled for 10 a.m. today with appearances by Athens Mayor Nancy Denson and former Georgia Bulldog football greats David Greene, D.J. Shockley and Reggie Brown.
In addition, to celebrate the occasion, Kroger will donate $500 to local schools, including Athens Christian, Madison County Middle, Madison County High and Winterville Elementary. Kroger has also partnered with Smithfield Foods to donate more than 25,000 pounds of protein to the Northeast Georgia Food Bank.
A major component for the new Kroger Marketplace will be the inclusion of a Fred Meyer Jewelers store, the first in Georgia to be located in a Kroger. Kroger owns Fred Meyer Jewelers — the country's second-largest jeweler — and in the last decade has placed 67 jewelry stores within Marketplace locations.
"It's tremendous, obviously for us, but we really love the opportunity to develop relationships with customers, and jewelry is all about celebrating life's occasions," Kirsten Darrow, group vice president for marketing, e-commerce and loyalty for Fred Meyer Jewelers, said. "There's a wonderful connection with food and life's occasions; you're having a birthday party, so you can get your gift, your cake, your food, your ice cream, your balloons, and your flowers all at one place."
There are more than 330 Fred Meyers Jewelers across the country, four in Georgia, and Darrow said that by being aligned with Kroger, the full-service jeweler, which will have a 1,300-square-foot presence in Athens, can offer some pretty shiny deals.
"Because we're owned by Kroger and have the opportunity to be inside Marketplace stores, we're able to have reduced expenses, which means we can pass on the savings to the customer," she said. "We're very proud of our extremely competitive pricing that we're able to offer customers. We have the same fine-quality merchandise you would find in a mall – lots of diamonds, watches, gemstone jewelry."
To commemorate the occasion of its grand opening today, the first 100 customers will receive a gift, and through Sept. 2, double fuel points will be awarded on all jewelry purchases.
Celebration activities will continue through Sept. 13 with giveaways and promotions that include fuel discounts, UGA football ticket raffles and free blood pressure and glucose screenings. For more information on the new Kroger Marketplace in Athens, visit www.kroger.com.

Walters found himself out of the starting line-up for the first few months of his Stoke career following his £2.75 million move from Ipswich last summer.
But injuries to the likes of Ricardo Fuller, Jon Carew and Matthew Etherington in recent months have offered the 27-year-old the chance to shine and he has responded by firing 11 goals this season to head the scoring charts with Jones, while he he also played a key role in Stoke's 5-0 demolition of Bolton in last month's FA Cup semi-final.
Jones told thisisstaffordshire.co.uk: "I guess Jon fits the bill for Stoke because he has had to put up with the usual headlines that the team gets.
"We have had all these stories about us being underdogs, boring, not so good and whatever.
"But Jon has shown what he is really all about this season. He works hard, he gets goals and he is a credit to the team.
"We have the sort of club where everyone helps out. Everyone works hard and everyone goes out there and works for each other.
"Jon is no different. He has been amazing."
Jones and Walters have scored eight goals between them in Stoke's last seven games to help them through an injury-hit spell and hope to be on target again against Arsenal on Sunday.

Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today after the U.S. Senate passed a housing bill that reforms regulation of the Government Sponsored Enterprises, modernizes the FHA, helps families avoid foreclosure and establishes an affordable housing trust fund to help low-income families:
"After months of Republican delay, Senate Democrats led passage of a responsible bill to address the worsening foreclosure crisis, which is the root of the broader economic crisis. By helping Americans keep their homes and their home equity, we are restoring stability to the housing market and helping businesses and communities hurt by this crisis not only recover, but also create new jobs. This bill will help prevent another crisis of this magnitude, stop foreclosures before they begin and preserve for future generations the American Dream of home ownership.
"Bush-McCain Republicans have been shamefully slow to act. Each day they stalled, nearly 8,500 new families filing for foreclosure – on top of already accelerating foreclosure filings that were 53 percent higher in June than in the same month the previous year. The time for delay has passed. We look forward to quickly reconciling remaining differences with the House and sending this bill to the President for his signature."
