Among them was the Pera Palace Hotel that first opened in 1892 to receive passengers arriving from Europe on the deluxe Orient Express train. Reopened two years ago after a four-year renovation, it is now a member of the Jumeirah Hotel Group. The six-floor, 115-room hotel, designed in a mix of Art Nouveau, Oriental and NeoClassical styles, has views of the waters of the Golden Horn. Room decor is in keeping with the hotel's original era. Its historic attractions include the Ataturk Room, which is now a museum room. Notable guests from its historic past include Ernest Hemingway, Greta Garbo, Alfred Hitchcock, Jacqueline Kennedy and Agatha Christie (said to have written "Murder on the Orient Express" there.) Then known as the Pera Palas, it was Istanbul's first building to have an elevator, and - except for royal palaces - was the first building in the city to have electricity. Known for its fine cuisine, its spacious Agatha Restaurant favors French and Italian cooking, but also has some Turkish fare. Afternoon English tea is served daily in the elegant Kubbeli Saloon or in the cozier, small Patisserie de Pera. There is a spa with an indoor swimming pool, hammam (Turkish bath), and Jacuzzi, as well as a fitness center. The Pera Palace is in the increasingly bohemian Beyoglu section of the city, abounding in restaurants, bars and shops. www.jumeirah.com
For the traveler in search of more modern Istanbul accommodations, there is the elegant Park Hyatt Istanbul in the Nisantasi residential and shopping area. Though it occupies a 1922 Art Deco building, the interior is very up-to-date. One of the city's largest hotels, it has 55 standard rooms, five suites, five presidential suites and 25 spa rooms with their own steam rooms. There is also a spa, a fitness center and an outdoor pool with terrace bar The hotel has two restaurants, the Lounge that is open all day and has an a la carte menu, and The Prime, specializing in meats and seafood prepared on a lava-stone grill. www.Istanbul.park.hyatt.com
Across the Bosphorus on the Asian side of the city are two smaller, supremely serene boutique hotels - the Sumahan and the Ajia. The waters of the Bosphorus lap below the terraces of both and private hotel boats ferry guests back and forth to the European side of the city at no charge.
The boutique hotel Ajia, is in a 150-year-old tall, white, former Ottoman mansion at the Bosphorus' edge. Gray and brown and cream are the colors chosen by interior designers for its 10 deluxe rooms and six deluxe suites. Its restaurant offers stunning views of the mosques and minarets of European Istanbul across the Bosphorus. Its intimacy and location combine to make it a honeymooner's paradise. www.ajiahotel.com
From Istanbul, I flew to central Turkey's Cappadocia, a Vermont-sized area of honey-colored "fairy chimneys" - pinnacles of volcanic ash as much as 130 feet high that lost their lava coating centuries ago. Visitors view them on hikes, horseback, or float above them, as I did, in a hot air balloon. I chose Royal Air Balloon (www.royalballoon.com) for my pre-dawn flight.
Later that day, I visited the Byzantine cave churches and monasteries in the Open Air Museum of Goreme, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Decorating the cave walls are 9th-century frescoes and murals recounting Biblical stories and scenes from the lives of saints. Another day, I crawled through the passages of an underground escape city, constructed by Christians in the 6th and 7th centuries when Persian and Arab armies were attempting to drive the Christians away. More than 37 such cities have already been found, and there are expectations that as many as 100 more are still to be discovered.
Another small cave hotel is the five-room Serinn in the once-Greek village of Urgup, with views overlooking the village and the mountains. Owned by an Istanbul native, its rooms were designed by a leading Turkish architect. Guests share the living room and library. Breakfast is served on a terrace overlooking the mountains. For tranquility, Serrin would be hard to beat. www.serrinhouse.com
A homey Urgup getaway, owned by Suha Ersoz, an environmentally conscious former lawyer, is the laid-back Esbelli Evi. www.esbelli.com
The Yunak Evlerli Cave Hotel is also in Urgup and its fifth- and sixth-century caves were occupied by local families until 1978. After moving to modern apartments, they used their old homes for storage and for their animals. But when tourism to Cappadocia started to flourish, entrepreneurs began buying the caves and transforming them. Now six former caves houses make up his stylish hotel of 25 rooms and deluxe family suites. www.yu
Also in Uchisar is one of the newest cave hotel complexes. Argos in Cappadocia is built in a 2,000-year-old former monastery that later became a caravanserai on the Silk Route from China to Constaninople (now Istanbul). It has 42 guest rooms and suites in five different mansions. Antique Turkish rugs and furnishings brighten its accommodations. Suites have their own private pools. The hotel's Seki Restaurant-Lounge is renowned for its stunning views of Pigeon Valley, its local and regional dishes, and its large wine collection. In midsummer, a Jazz program attracts neighborhood young and old, and the hotel's spacious gardens are a sight to behold.
This hotel had its beginnings in 1996 when Gohsin Ilicali, a communication consultant in Istanbul and a real estate developer in Cappadocia, discovered its stunning site and hired an architect to transform nearly 40 abandoned houses into his hotel. Since its opening in 2010, Argos in Cappadocia has been honored as one of the 45 best hotels in the world by Travel & Leisure and has been called one of the world's 10 top honeymoon hotel sites by Gayot. www.argosincappa

Awesome workmanship. Always a pleasure working with this vendor.

Awesome workmanship. Always a pleasure working with this vendor.
Beading...Its my habit!
I started in the jewelry business by taking a job in fine jewelry during college. I loved retail fine jewelry sales, and continued in that field until the birth of my son.
Once my son was born, I continued to do pearl and bead repair work for local jewelers and began to create my own designs as well. I started selling locally, and on Etsy, in August 2011.
Currently, I have 2 stores on Etsy. PearlsPlusLLC is my main store. It features finished pearl and gemstone jewelry for all occasions. CUSupplyStore is my alternate store. It started as just a place to list my overstock, but has now grown to a full service pearl, gemstone, and findings supply store.
I do a lot of custom work and am always happy to discuss any design. I am also happy to do large orders, such as bridal parties.
My favorite techniques are stringing with knots on silk and wire wrapping.
My best selling items include heirloom style baby bracelets and wire wrapped rings.

Please note: Many of the gemstones/pearls used in my work have been dyed, bleached or heat treated. These are permanent processes used to beautify the stones.
Pearl Jewelry Care:
With proper care, your pearls will stay beautiful for years!
Pearls strung on silk will require restringing, usually every 1-10 years depending on care and frequency of wear.
-do wear your pearls! the oils in your skin prevent the pearls from getting dehydrated
-don't get perfume, hairspray, or makeup on your pearls...it can damage both the pearls and the silk thread they are on. Make sure to remove pearl jewelry before sleeping and showering, and don't put it back on until after you are dressed and ready.
-do not get the pearl jewelry submerged in water (ie: the shower, pool, etc) it can make the silk thread breakdown
-do wipe pearls gently with a soft cloth periodically
-don't use any jewelry cleaner on your pearls, unless specifically designated for pearls
-don't store pearls with other jewelry...they can be scratched. Instead, store them in their own container
-don't hang your pearls...this causes the silk to stretch prematurely
Please note: I DO REPAIR(RESTRING) pearls at my discretion. Please contact me for more information

Walnut Creek Watershed Coalition
Formed in 2012, the Walnut Creek Watershed Coalition (WCWC) is dedicated to partnering
with local governments, businesses, non-governmental organizations and individuals to promote and encourage sustainable management of the Walnut Creek Watershed. This grassroots organization began with people gathering for a creek clean-up and has expanded to include a broad range of projects, intent upon protecting and improving Walnut Creek's water quality and fostering a sense of ownership and stewardship among those who live, work, and play within this watershed.
The primary focus of the Coalition is promoting an awareness of our place in the watershed. Having residents become aware that this waterway is named Walnut Creek or North Walnut Creek, and is in the Walnut Creek Watershed is a key early step. To that end, the WCWC partnered with the City of Windsor Heights to install watershed signs at the Walnut Creek Bridge on 73rd street and the North Walnut Creek Bridge on College Avenue. Signs are also going up next to the creeks along the Windsor Heights Trails and in Colby Park. Through raising this awareness, hopefully people will think how their actions impact the creek, and they'll be encouraged to make their impact a positive one.
The WCWC has also begun a rain barrel program to reduce run-off into Walnut Creek. Through a partnership with the City of Windsor Heights to start, the WCWC hopes to expand this program to other communities and schools in the Walnut Creek Watershed. The intent of the Windsor Heights rain barrel program to not only provide a rain barrel to residents who wish to have one, but to allow residents to take an active role in reducing storm water runoff. The WCWC has provided rain barrels to the City of Windsor Heights at no cost, with the proceeds used to maintain the program in perpetuity. Stormwater runoff is a serious issue, as is water conservation. Through purchasing a rain barrel (or two) a resident can make a positive impact right in their very own backyard.
The WCWC will continue to support other local groups and municipalities, working together to promote sustainability and education from a watershed approach.

Looking for fun and free educational and entertainment opportunities for your children? Good news, you can find all of that with a visit to your local library.
Most locations offer free concerts or story times for younger kids, like Saturday Story Times available at the Charles County Public Library. Not only are these events cost effective, they are also influential in getting kids interested and excited about reading at an early age.
There's always something for teens and tweens too! Game night and a cooking workshop are just two events coming up at Prince Frederick's Calvert Library.
Most events are usually held at the same time on a regular basis, which can grant moms and dads the ability to arrange a carpool; saving some busy parents another valuable resource – time.

Name: Evan Rutckyj
Position: Pitcher
DOB: January 31, 1992
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 215
Bats: Right
Throws: Left
"He's a big lefty [and] he's not been pitching forever," Yankees scouting director Damon Oppenheimer told PinstripesPlus.com on draft day. "He's a big physical, good looking kid.
"He's a tough guy, he's real projectable. Obviously we value him more than a 16th round pick. I just think the signability got in the way of him going higher."
Despite being so new to pitching, Rutckyj, a former outfielder who has just two years of experience on the mound, has shown some plus stuff at times even though he didn't get much of a chance to prove it in official games since he signed right at the August 15h deadline.
"I thought Instructs went alright," said Rutckyj, who pitched in just one inning during the regular season. "I adjusted my mechanics a little bit and then when I went to the Dominican [Instructs] they felt a little bit better."
The bulk of his professional experience thus far has been limited to two Instructional League camps this offseason and the Yankees have already begun to work on refining his raw talent.
Getting him to keep his hands still in his delivery, keeping his lead shoulder turned more to the first base side, and working on the grip with his slider were just a few of things they've been working on to improve his command and start tapping his rather high talent ceiling.
"I think that could happen," he said. "They have a lot of faith in me and I believe I can accomplish what they think I can do.
"I'm raw to pitching but I've played baseball my whole life so I know the game. I have confidence in myself and I know I can make the Majors."
GCL Yankees
Repertoire. Fastball, Curveball, Changeup.
Fastball. Despite popping some 87's over the last year, Rutckyj has a power arm for a left-hander. He sat mostly in the 90-94 mph range with his four-seamer during Instructs and he does have a solid two-seamer that gets sink and fade to it already. He uses his four-seamer to get ahead in counts and then goes to the two-seamer a lot of times for the punch out. It remains to be seen if he'll be allowed to keep the two-seamer for now or have to shelve it until later.
Other Pitches. Rutckyj had a pretty good slider in high school, but it has been an inconsistent pitch for him in the early going. It has plus potential but often times the speed on it will vary anywhere from 78-84 mph, the break will sometimes be more slurvy than a slider, and his location of it is hit or miss. Like his slider, his changeup is also very inconsistent, a common trait for most young hurlers. He showed better command of it by the end of Instructs and it too has above average to plus potential, but it's still a work in progress.
Pitching. Rutckyj is one of the fiercest competitors around, period! His approach is to go right after batters but right now his mechanics haven't allowed him to throw the amount of strikes he would like to throw. He is very big and strong too, which should allow him to pitch deep into games, and he's very athletic. Physically he has all the traits of a top pitching prospect, including a big league arm, but he lacks the experience and mechanical consistencies needed. He is very talented, but also very raw.
Projection. He is so new to pitching that it is really tough to nail down a projected role at this point. His slider would need some refinement to find his way into a bullpen, but Rutckyj's natural build and big league arm give him the ceiling of a middle of the rotation type starter already despite his lack of experience, and he is also raw enough that a lot will have to fall into place for that projection to be realized.
ETA. N/A. Rutckyj has his eyes set on breaking Spring Training with a long-season league team next year, but it seems more likely that he'll get a full season in the short-season leagues, most likely in the Gulf Coast League, so he can work on his mechanics.

Jennifer Aniston: Ravishing in Red! (PHOTOS)
Jennifer Aniston was looking positively stunning while she promoted her fragrance Lolavie at Sephora in the Big Apple on Thursday evening.Wow!
Showing a little bit of skin, Jen put her killer stems on display as she smiled and posed for the cameras. The 42-year-old actress' hair was also rocking a bit of a wave in addition to wearing the sexy, peek-a-boo red dress.
We wonder if she knows about the reunion that took place on Wednesday night?
Jen's BFF Courteney Cox and Brad Pitt were both seen leaving Hollywood eatery Beso late on Wednesday night. While it's not really known if they were dining together, it seems to be too much of a coincidence, no?
Regardless, Jen looks seriously stunning! Check out all the sexy photos in the gallery!

Central business districts used to be quiet, almost desolate places on weekends. After clocking off on Friday afternoon, few workers would return until Monday.
Apartment living in Australia's inner-city areas has grown strongly in recent years, mirroring trends in the big international metro centres. Canny developers are finding ways to attract and accommodate these new city dwellers and appeal to the owner-occupier market. Open spaces, common areas with gyms and pools, car-share schemes and even in-house yoga teachers are featuring in the new wave of inner-city apartment projects. Upper-end developments are proving to be strong sellers in a difficult market.
The typical inner-city dweller is often a young professional. But as baby boomers begin to retire, empty-nesters are selling the family home and want to live somewhere more central in an easy-to-maintain apartment.
John Carfi of Mirvac says buyer behaviour has shifted and more families are seeking to live in cities, changing the design of apartments.
"The once-defined markets are now much broader and we have to design for these diverse groups,'' he says. "Even the family unit is no longer 'mum, dad and two kids'."
Mirvac has tacked this with product variety. For example, Harold Park in Glebe, Sydney, includes terraces and apartments.
"The scale of Harold Park allows us to provide enough choice to cater for this diversity, in particular the terrace product, but we still find ourselves having to refine and redesign to meet the market."
Melbourne developer Michael L. Yates and Co. is targeting the affluent end of the apartment market with units in South Yarra's Forrest Hill precinct. His Yarra House project has been designed by Bird de la Coeur Architects with interiors by Hassell.
The building has only five units per level, with a pool, gym, library and business facilities. Michael Yates says owner-occupiers are targeted to buy three-bedroom units over 140 square metres.
"There's been a lack of confidence in the property market for the last six months or so, and we've seen that in apartments too, but we've started to see some growth and expect more of an uplift," says Yates.
Yates and Co. is also one of a growing number of developers that are including car-share schemes within projects for residents who do not have a car, or one-car couples.
In Adelaide, the South Australian government and City of Greater Adelaide are trying to encourage city living through planning controls and stamp duty concessions for CBD apartments.
James Young, the Colliers International chief executive for South Australia, says there has been a lift in apartment sales over the past two months, to a mix of owner-occupiers and investors.
"There isn't a lot of room for capital growth, but there can be good rental returns for investors,'' he says.
Developers have been snapping up opportunities on old brownfield sites, where office and light-industrial buildings once stood. Some former office blocks have also been converted to apartments.
Melbourne's former Telecom building was vacant for about 20 years before Chinese-backed developer Hengi paid $46 million cash for it. Work has begun to convert the building into 555 high-end apartments, which have attracted interest because the building is in the city's legal district and close to the big financial firms.
This year in Sydney, the launch weekend for The Quay in Chinatown kicked off with a queue outside the display village from 7am. CBRE Residential Projects says 35 apartments sold each hour in the morning, and by the end of the weekend, 200 of the 270 apartments were sold.

Drinking and driving: The rules are the same for cars and boats
If you drink and you drive a boat, you lose! That's just part of the message the Department of Natural Resources wants to get out. As the weather warms up and dries out, boating and fun on the water is picking up. But, there are a few rules to live by to insure safe fun for everyone.
Kelly Taylor and his family are doing a little wake surfing on Geist Reservoir. It's riding a surf board on the waves created by the wake of the boat.
It's fun the whole family has been anxious to have. But, this summer's below average weather has put a damper on things.
"Last year was fantastic. We were out everyday. This year, a lot of rain. As soon as you get out, it rains and you have to go right back in," said Taylor.
But, the weather is looking up meaning boat traffic is picking up and Conservation Officer Bill Doss is watching closely.
"Unfortunately, a lot of our drownings happen when there is a life jacket there ready for them and they just choose not to wear it," said Officer Doss.
Carrie-Officer Doss says while IN State Law only requires life vests to be on the boat, the DNR encourages boaters to wear them! The sun and wind can deplete and dehydrate people quickly.
"You add alcohol or drugs to that and it just compounds those effects and you get a lot of impairment we see when dealing drunk drivers on the water," said Officer Doss.
And speaking of drunk drivers, the legal limit is .08, the same as driving a car. And if you get busted you'll not only lose your boating license, but also your driver's license.
"You should, it's the same thing as driving a car," said Taylor.
Suggested Links
"The trend is that it's such a social environment with drinking and boating. Folks want to get out after a long week of work and get out and relax and we know that and want to make sure folks are using better judgement and finding a sober driver," said Officer Doss.
So, whether you're driving your own boat, riding along with friends or renting a boat, the rules are the same.
Officer Doss says the number of drownings out on local lakes and waterways is down compared to last year because the amount of traffic has been low. But, he expects the numbers could rise as the weather warms up. But, he hopes people will heed the reminders and put safety first.

Slotomania is a typical casino type slot machine game. This latest version of the game was released on 1st August 2016. It is a replica of the gambling game played in the slot machines of Las Vegas. Therefore, the game, Slotomania is not intended for the players below the age of twenty one. The game is said to have more than 14 million fans worldwide. A famous game developing company named "Playtika" has developed the game. So what the game is all about? The game is all about matching the digits in the different slot of the slot machine. The machine will rapidly choose digits and the player's luck will be decided. The player can make in app purchases (though the purchases are expensive to some extent). Winning or losing is entirely dependable on players' luck as in real gambling tables.
A player opens the game with a bonus of ten thousand coins. After 3 hours he gets additional free coins, and the free coins will be delivered to the player's fund in every 3 hours! The game has more than 140 different types of slot machines to give the player different kinds of experience. So the game is making you more and more greedy. The player can win casino bonus, mega bonus, lotto bonus etc. In addition to it a piggy bank will be given. Why a piggy bank? The piggy bank piles up your coins and when you break the piggy bank you will get special slot bonus.
Other than this you can win various prizes. Prizes like Vegas Slot Machine Jackpot, Mega Wheel free Spin can be earned. This is certainly not the end of the list! You will be given scope to collect Lotto cards too. And the collection of lotto cards will bring you exciting prizes. The game is full of surprises and gifts and a hidden slight risk factor. You are not in verge of losing your money up until you are playing with the free coins.
But when you are playing with the help of the hack tools you would never have to worry about the free coins. The Slotomania coins hack tools are free coin generators that work with discretion and never can be traced. The coder of the hack tools have created it to work on the sly so that your gaming account will never come to the verge of being banned. The tools work well on iPhone, iPads, Android phones and laptops. Each of your individual game wins increases your chances to win the game. The hack tools are easy to use, you do not even have to download it for using and the tools can be used online. The process of accessing the tools is also very fast and simple.

nVidia had a lot to say this year during their press conference which was one of the longer ones we've ever attended. Along with their announcement of Tegra 4, which is now official, and Project Shield, there portable Android gaming system, and showcasing some of the upcoming Tegra 4 games like Dead Trigger 2. Also announced was nVidia's GRID, their answer to improving cloud gaming.
nVidia's GRID looks to improve cloud gaming by allowing developers to not have to worry about porting their games, modifying them to fit on different screens properly. Instead, nVidia's GRID will render all of the game, especially the 3D visuals, through the cloud from the GRID servers. These servers, which look like rather cool rack style servers, are stuffed with GPUs to handle the rendering of all the 3D visuals required to make any game look good via the cloud with extremely little latency.
This solutions also offers up the ability to have access anytime to a library of gaming titles and saved games in the cloud. You'll be able to play or continue games from any device, anywhere. On top of that, there is no new hardware, no complicated setup, no game discs, no digital downloads, no game installations, no game patches. All that is required is that the GRID client be installed on the devices you want to play games on.
For those of you hardware fanatics out there, each server will house 24 GPUs using Nvidia's Kepler architecture and these are not the usual GPUs found in their video cards that you can buy off the shelf. These GPUs are designed specifically for the GRID. Each one also has circuitry supporting hardware virtualization thanks to Nvidia's VGX Hypervisor software which acts as a virtual machine for both CPU and GPUs. Keeping on with that, there are load-balancing algorithms let VGX Hypervisor allocate parts of a physical GPU or CPU which, after all the gibberish really means that one GPU can handle several users smoothly and efficiently.
In a single rack of these servers, which contains 20 GRID units, there will be 240 GPUs which pumps out 200 teraflops worth of operations which equals about 700 Xbox360s according to nVidia. Apparently other companies believe this is a great solution as well as six partners have already signed up to host these racks to provide this service to anyone interested in playing games this way.
Agawi, G-cluster, PlayCast, ubitus, CyberCloud and CloudUnion, all located in different countries around the world including here in the US (Agawi) have all signed on to host this cloud gaming service. On top of that, nVidia plans to sell the GRID servers to anyone who wants to serve up 3D gaming (or content in general) from the cloud. Just to clarify, this will work on Android devices, PCs, Project Shield and any other connected device that is compatible.

Bizav sales disparity shows big jets holding, small jets struggling
By Richard Aboulafia
VP, Teal Group
Business aircraft deliveries fell along with corporate profits in 2009. Despite a historical correlation between profits and bizav market health, that connection seems to be broken for now.
So the corporate profits picture looks great, both in aggregate and for the one segment of the economy that matters most to business aircraft demand. Since aircraft delivery rate changes typically trail corporate profits changes by 12–24 months, the good news is that, in theory, we might see a production increase as early as mid-2011.
The bad news is that this time there are serious complications to this rosy corporate profits outlook. The first complication is that these corporate profits do not resemble the broader economy. Unemployment is still quite high. The economies of the developed world—especially the US and Europe—are only growing at an anemic pace.
The IMF is projecting Eurozone growth this year of around 1%. In the US, GDP growth in 2Q2010 fell to a mere 1.6% at an annualized pace. In September, the US Federal Reserve pointed to "widespread signs of deceleration" in the US economy. But most of all, key equities markets have not recovered in line with corporate profits.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell from an all-time high of 14,093 on Oct 12, 2007 to a low of 6626 on Mar 6, 2009. It then rebounded, but stalled out at the current level. It has spent all of this year trading in a 10,000–11,000 band with no signs of sustainable growth. Equities analysts have turned quite pessimistic.
According to Bloomberg, fewer than 29% of stock ratings are now "buys"—the lowest level since 1997. As of Aug 2010, a record 71% of ratings were "holds." Like corporate profits, the DJIA can be used as a leading indicator of business jet deliveries. And the DJIA has much in common with that most important indicator of bizjet market health—used jet availability numbers.
The DJIA, like the broader economy, closely resembles an old-fashioned square root sign. There was a sharp upfront drop, followed by a recovery, creating a mini-V. But this V then turned right, creating a flatline plateau. Both the DJIA and those used jet availability numbers took a turn for the worse, made a rapid partial recovery, and are now a long way from a full recovery, let alone renewed growth.
As for corporate profits, while their recovery has vastly outpaced the DJIA recovery, that might not be an indicator of the economy's sustainable health. Instead, companies are making money because they have slashed costs. This means mass layoffs and countless plant closings.
The modest increase in consumer and business demand over the past year has benefited increasingly lean and very productive companies. Meanwhile, the corporations generating these profits are reluctant to spend on anything. Like those equity analysts, they have turned quite pessimistic and are clearly concerned about a double-dip recession, prolonged sluggish growth, or anything that would threaten their ability to access lines of credit.
Unable to voice concern about a double-dip (since no CEO wants to help cause a downturn), they are blaming the Obama administration (rightly or wrongly) for being anti-business —all the while generating record profits. Investment in business jets is an extremely low priority. In conclusion, corporate profits are something of an anomaly, given the broader economic uncertainties.
Therefore, Teal Group believes there are ample reasons to be conservative and forecast a flat 2011, with no deliveries uptick until 2012. There is a chance that corporate profits will prove to be paramount. But it's more likely that the economy needs another year to recover, and that businesses need another year to feel confident enough before making major investments, such as business aircraft.
This is a three year downturn. Of course, the economic indicators discussed above are all US-based. Yet this is now a global industry, with deliveries outside the US now constituting over half the market (compared with over 70% just 10 years ago). This change is having a profound influence on the character of the market in terms of segment growth (and shrinkage) trends.
Continued bifurcation?
Teal Group does not see a recovery of any kind until 2012, and the market will not return to its 2008 peak until 2016.
Historically, the business jet market could be split in half by value. The top half consists of jets costing $25 million and more (in 2010 dollars)—the bottom half consists of jets costing less than $25 million. As the chart below indicates, these 2 halves have risen and fallen in tandem, more or less. Over the past 20 years, in aggregate, both halves stayed roughly equal in size.
Yet this market downturn has seen a major change in the relationship between these 2 segments. Deliveries in the bottom half of the market declined in 2009 by a remarkable 42.8% by value. This excludes very light jets (VLJs).
This represents the worst decline of any aerospace market in the present downturn. It was worse than the decline suffered by the majority of world economic markets. Yet deliveries in the top half of the business jet market actually stayed almost constant, falling by a mere 4.1% by value.
In fact, Dassault, the one company that plays exclusively in the top half of the jet market, was the only manufacturer to increase output in 2009 relative to 2008. The most obvious explanation for this bifurcation lies with the greater economic sensitivity of the customers involved.
The bottom half of the market is generally more dependent on small and midsized businesses that are more sensitive to an economic downturn. The bottom half also depends more heavily on mature markets such as North America and Europe. The faster-growth economies in Asia and the Middle East have held up better, and customers there have a preference for higher-end products.
Also, high-end jets generally have better exposure to the government market, which tends to be much less cyclical. Since bottom-half jets depend on a customer base that is more economically sensitive and more typically North American or European, it's also safe to say that they depend more heavily on third-party finance.
These bottom-half market customers are much less likely to pay for jets with cash and are also less likely to have access to robust credit lines. They are also less likely to be based in emerging markets with relatively strong government-backed financial institutions. The credit collapse is the biggest difference between this downturn and previous downturns, and therefore is the best explanation for the unique bifurcation the market is seeing today.

Glenn Dale, Md. • The winding path that leads to the Prince George's County Trap and Skeet Center is appropriately called Good Luck Road.
As in, good luck in your efforts to blast those orange clay discs out of the sky.
It's also an aptly named road for politicians, who traverse this stretch often with donors on their way to fundraisers at the shotgun range.
While the debate rages over gun control in the wake of several mass shootings, there are several members of Congress who are big-time gun-rights advocates, and it shows. They not only support and shoot guns, they tie them into their political cash-raising.
In the last six years, members of Congress or political action committees have held 39 fundraisers at the Prince George's County range, and that's in addition to dozens of laser-shooting events held at the National Rifle Association's offices near the Capitol and scores more in their home districts.
"The reason is there's a lot of sportsmen. A lot of them are interested in politics like a lot of other people," says Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, who hasn't held a gun range fundraiser, but plans to. "Some people like to golf, some people like to shoot, so you try to do fundraisers with events people are interested in."
Stewart's Utah colleague, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, invited donors to the Prince George's County range, asking for a $1,500 donation from a PAC and $750 for each individual. He did the same in October 2009.
"That is a beautiful facility," Chaffetz says. "It's different than a traditional breakfast at Charlie Palmer," referencing a steakhouse chain that is a frequent fundraiser spot.
Both Democrats and Republicans have trekked the short distance outside Washington, D.C., to shoot at clay pigeons, though most events come down on the GOP side.
And in Utah, where target practice is more of a sport, such fundraisers are common place.
Ex-Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff held annual skeet-shooting events to raise cash. Former Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt held several successful fundraisers at $10,000 a pop that he dubbed "Cast-and-Blast," where donors could fly fish and shoot.

China holds key to averting global recession
HONG KONG – China's gross domestic product grew at its slowest pace in more than two years in the fourth quarter, and the worst may be yet to come, as weak exports and government tightening ripple through the world's second-largest economy.
In the final three months of 2011, China's GDP — the total value of goods and services — increased 8.9% from a year earlier. That was a fourth-consecutive quarter of slowing growth and the slowest expansion since the second quarter of 2009, when the economy grew 8.2%, the Chinese government said Tuesday.
For all of 2011, China's economy expanded 9.2%, compared with 10.4% the year before.
Many analysts had forecast a bigger fourth-quarter slowdown. "At this point, it's still growth moderation, not a sharp slowdown," says Sun Junwei, a China economist at HSBC in Beijing, who had expected the economy to grow 8.6% year-over-year in the fourth quarter.
China's economy is slowing much faster when looked at quarter over quarter: The economy expanded 8.2% in the fourth quarter, compared with 9.5% in the third quarter. IHS Global Insight, an economic analysis firm, expects China's GDP growth to fall 1 percentage point more in the first quarter.
Yet the country's economy is growing many times faster than those of developed nations. In September, the International Monetary Fund projected that the U.S. economy expanded 1.5% at an annual rate and the eurozone 1.6% at an annual rate in 2011.
Yet the weakening of one of the world's growth engines could pull down global prices for commodities that have surged because of demand from China, including metals from Australia and soybeans from the United States.
China's slowdown comes as the European debt crisis threatens to pull the global economy into another recession. Friday, Standard & Poor's downgraded nine European nations' credit ratings, warning that the governments of those countries need to do more to resolve the debt crisis. The downgrade could raise the countries' borrowing costs and tarnish their growth prospects.
Kevin Lai, a senior economist at Daiwa Securities in Hong Kong, expects the global economy to avoid a recession. But an escalation of the European debt crisis or a sharp slowdown in the Chinese economy's growth to 7.5% for a few consecutive quarters are among the triggers that could "easily tip the balance" and lead to a global crisis, according to Lai.
The risk is that Europe's problems could suppress Asia's growth and lead to tighter funding conditions or a credit squeeze, says Elena Okorotchenko, a managing director in Asia-Pacific for S&P's Rating Services.
Export growth is slowing in China amid soft demand from its top trading partners, the European Union and the U.S. Zhang Xiaoqiang, the deputy director of China's National Development and Reform Commission, warned this month that exports could be "grim" in the first half of 2012, reported Xinhua, the state's official news agency.
Meanwhile, home prices in China's major cities are falling after the government moved to combat a potential real estate bubble by requiring larger down payments and taking other measures.
A "disruptive correction" in China's real estate market remains one of the major risks to the Chinese economy, wrote Brian Jackson, a senior strategist at the Royal Bank of Canada, in a Tuesday research note.
Yet because inflation remains high, the government won't be able to "step on the gas again to re-accelerate the economy," predicts Li Cui, chief China economist for RBS. "There's a tradeoff between growth and inflation."

The 'What Makes You Beautiful' singers are individually featured in succeeding teaser clips days before the actual video launches on Friday, November 2.
Before eager fans can lay eyes on the complete "Little Things" video, the band One Direction have decided to create more thrills by releasing video teasers that show what people can expect from the new promo. The teaser clips hype up the few days remaining before the video is finally out on Friday, November 2.
The Ed Sheeran-written track from the band's upcoming LP "Take Me Home" is a sweet, acoustic guitar-driven song which presents a new side to the boys' musical talents. The images seen on the teaser clips seem to take on the same relaxed and mature aura that the group is exploring now.
The two teasers released so far have been in black and white, and focused on band members Niall Horan and Zayn Malik while they tinkered with knobs, fooled around, and performed the song inside their recording studio. More teasers featuring the remaining band members Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne are expected to land online before the Friday launch date.
"Little Things" is the follow up single to "Live While We're Young" both from the band's new album "Take Me Home" slated for a November 12 official release.

Old English alecgan "to put down, remit, give up," a Germanic compound (cf. Gothic uslagjan, Old High German irleccan, German erlegen), from a- "down, aside" + lecgan "to lay" (see lay).
Early Middle English pronunciations of -y- and -g- were not always distinct, and the word was confused in Middle English with various senses of Romanic-derived alloy and allege, especially the latter in an obsolete sense of "to lighten," from Latin ad- "to" + levis (see lever).
Amid the overlapping of meanings that thus arose, there was developed a perplexing network of uses of allay and allege, that belong entirely to no one of the original vbs., but combine the senses of two or more of them. [OED]The double -l- is 17c., a mistaken Latinism. Related: Allayed; allaying.

Some 300 survivors of sexual abuse and their supporters are meeting this weekend in Chicago for a national conference sponsored by the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP).
The names on the conference schedule are familiar to Catholics who have been following the sex abuse crisis: Barbara Blaine, founder of SNAP; David Clohessy, SNAP's executive director; victims' attorney Jeff Anderson; Justice Anne Burke of Illinois, who served on the bishops' National Review Board; and Father Tom Doyle, one of the few priests to publicly support victims throughout the scandal.
But there are lots of other speakers and panelists whose names you may not recognize. This weekend they will tell their stories of abuse by clergy, nuns, bishops or seminarians--abuse that was followed by the equally or even more painful treatment by church authorities when they reported their abuse or sought justice.
I will be there all weekend and reporting on the "NCR Today" blog.
In tonight's opening talks, Clohessy, Blaine and Doyle said the revelations this past year in Ireland, Germany and Belgium prove that the sex-abuse crisis is not merely "an American problem" caused by a few bad apples, the morally lax 1960s or anti-Catholicism in the media.
"This is not a U.S. or a European crisis," said Blaine, noting that the SNAP office has received calls from victims in Brazil, South Africa, Australia and even Pakistan in the past weeks.
"For 22 years we have focused on 4 percent of the world," Clohessy said, referring to U.S. population. "Now we're focusing on abuse and cover up worldwide."
Following are the reports she filed during the conference:

By CRYSTAL NIX
Published: March 29, 1987
IN the desolate early-morning hours or during the midday rush, in seemingly respectable apartments or in abandoned buildings, the drug trade in Washington Heights flourishes with the dependability of a 24-hour supermarket. And it is at least partly for that reason, the police say, that this pastiche of middle- and working-class neighborhoods in northern Manhattan has turned into the city's murder capital. The 34th Precinct, which includes all of Washington Heights and some of Inwood, reported 72 murders last year, up 50 percent from the year before and more than in any other precinct in the city. The precinct has a population estimated at up to 250,000.
Experts say it is difficult to fully account for fluctuations in murder rates, and opinions differ. A former commander of the precinct noted that the 48 murders in 1985 represented a big drop from the 76 in 1984. In 1984, he said, ''There was just as much cocaine on the streets.'' ''How can you explain that?'' he added. ''It all boils down to one thing,'' said Lieut. James McKenna, the head of the detective unit in the 34th Precinct. ''Money. There are big profits in narcotics, so they take big chances. If we didn't have drugs, our homicides would go way down.''
Most of the murders in recent years have been drug-related. Some are committed by drug dealers seeking to eliminate competition or retaliate against people they believe have swindled them. In addition, police officials and drug experts say that as cocaine - especially crack - has replaced heroin as the drug of choice, the violent, erratic and paranoid behavior that characterizes what is known as cocaine psychosis also has increased.
The total number of reported felonies in the 34th Precinct dropped by 3.8 percent last year, but the precinct's commanding officer, Deputy Inspector John Schneider, calls the decline ''almost statistically insignificant.'' Indeed, it is unclear whether fewer felonies are being committed or whether fewer are being detected or reported.
Officials say the majority of felony victims are honest citizens, but even victims who are up to no good do frequently complain. ''You'd be surprised how many people come in and say, 'I got ripped off trying to buy drugs,' '' said the precinct's executive officer, Capt. Michael Mandel. Before the police began stopping and seizing cars to discourage out-of-towners from buying drugs, about 10 percent to 12 percent of the robbery victims were suburban residents. Now they constitute about 5 to 7 percent, officials say, because the fear of arrest has reduced - though not halted - the commuting crack trade in Washington Heights.
Reported crime peaked nationally and in New York City in 1981 and then declined until 1985. Many criminologists had predicted that the numbers would continue to drop until the early 1990's, because of a decrease in the number of 15-to-24-year-olds, the population group that is statistically most likely to commit crimes. But many experts say now that the trend is being reversed as the number of 15-to-24-year-olds from poor, single-parent homes, with little education or hope of employment, continues to increase.
''The only way a kid has got a good shot is to get out of here,'' said Detective Daniel Moran of the Washington Heights robbery unit. ''And I don't mean out of this city. I mean out of this neighborhood.''
Community residents and police officials agree that some progress is being made. On street corners, in alleys and in front of known ''crack dens'' the police in Washington Heights maintain a visible presence, which they say helps to deter crime. Some officers work in ''Operation Clean Heights,'' aimed at ridding the community of drug dealers. Washington Heights is one of 37 precincts with foot patrols, under the department's Community Patrol Officers Program, known as C-POP.
But residents say they believe the police could be doing more. Elizabeth Wurzburger, executive vice president of the Jewish Community Council, which runs nightly security patrols, said that in particular the police should be ''more aggressive in preventing elements from coming in and out of the community selling drugs.''
