Measuring Efficiency externalities from Trade and Alternative Forms of Foreign Investment
The literature has concentrated on evaluating technological spillovers from trade and inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI). Little effort has been directed towards identifying efficiency externalities arising from international linkages. We evaluate these for a sample of 20 OECD countries between 1982 and 2000 using a stochastic frontier approach. The analysis includes trade, inflows and outflows of FDI, foreign portfolio investment (FPI), and other foreign investment (OFI), and a measure of the absorptive capacities of host economies. We find trade and all foreign investment inflows to lead to increased efficiency. Outflows of FDI are found to exacerbate inefficiency.

Staron Design Award winner 2011 - Concept category
The winner of the Edition 1, Staron Design Awards - Concept Category is Wilma van Boxtel of Deseos Design. The Concept Category is for entries that have not been realised, but are a design idea or concept.
Wilma designed a concept of a seamless long dining table made entirely of Staron® Solid Surfaces. The surface is made in one seamless piece of Staron® from the tabletop and is thermoformed to continue down to all four legs.
The edges of the table continue and form into beautiful soft curves on each side. The clean lines of this piece is perfect for the seamless, non porous and durable attributes of Staron®.
"Staron® was selected because of the rounded shapes that are almost impossible in other materials, as well as its durability and easy maintenance", says Wilma about why she designed this concept for Staron®.
The simple beauty of this dining table combines beautifully with any chair design or design style. Congratulations to Wilma van Boxtel and Deseos Design for this elegant and outstanding design.

|The Great One
|Ben 10 Universe
|Average Height
|Sapience Level
The Great One was a giant, tick-like alien that traveled from world to world, sucking the energy from the planets it landed on to feed itself. This process poisoned and eventually made the worlds it visited implode, although how this process works is not well understood. Its shell is nearly impenetrable and its feeding process brings the ground to life as an extra defense, making it very difficult to attack. On top of that, it is followed by a group of worshipers that want to make sure that it completes its task. The Great One was destroyed from the inside by Ben as Cannonbolt. The Great One is responsible for the complete destruction of Cannonbolt's home planet about a week before it tried to destroy Earth, a somewhat ironic accomplishment considering its death at the hands of a member of the same species (albeit a spliced version).

Cameos, in-jokes, re-used animation and other trivia from The Good Dinosaur.
- Peter Sohn has indicated that the Pizza Planet Truck appears twice in the film.[1] Only one appearance is currently known:

An ounce of gold has jumped from $348 (£205) to $403 since January 1 - a rise of 15%.
Figures such as these no doubt spurred the World Gold Council last week to launch an offshoot company, Gold Bullion Securities, whose shares will be traded on the London Stock Exchange.
The shares will be backed by gold bars held in an HSBC vault in London and so represent a way to link your money directly to the price of gold without needing a vault of your own.
But the case for gold holds a number of lessons for investors.
First, there is the simple argument that buying an asset after a steep rise is generally not the best investment advice.
Second, there is an important lesson in economics and the international nature of markets.
That steep rise in the gold price is in dollars, the international standard currency for trading the metal. But the dollar has been falling sharply all year. Measured in sterling, gold has risen by a much more modest 7%
The fact is that much of the apparent rise in the value of gold is actually a reflection of the sharp plunge in the value of the dollar. This might even be good for the American economy and its exporters, but that's another story.
For investors, that 7% gain in the price of gold compares rather poorly with the near-15% rise in the FTSE 100 so far this year, including dividends, and the remarkable 18% jump in the FTSE All-Share index.
On the Continent, the surge in the value of gold evaporates completely. The euro has risen in value against the dollar even more than the pound, making the euro price of gold almost unchanged over the past year.
German investors would have done better buying the Dax - their equivalent of the Footsie - which has risen 21%, while French investors would have made 10% buying their national stock market index, the CAC 40.
The point is that when investing in internationally traded commodities, currency prices can be more important than anything else. All that glisters is not gold - it could just be sparks from the US dollar going up in smoke.
Pensions to bank on
RADICAL thinking has been in short supply as companies seek to tackle their pension problems. But now banking group CSFB is proposing to link the contributions it makes to staff pension schemes to the returns it earns in the business.
Adapting the model used by many American firms, CSFB says it will increase its contributions to the pension scheme if it achieves a return on equity of 11% or more.
The bank is prepared to guarantee that it will contribute a minimum of 7.5% of salary for employees aged up to 39. This will rise to 10% for those in their forties and to 12.5% for staff over 50.
It is also offering a top-up bonus, so for every percentage point of return on equity gained above 11%, it will pump an extra 0.5% into the fund. This performance-linked contribution will increase up to a maximum return of 25%.
By linking pension contributions to its earnings, CSFB has gone some of the way towards solving the question of affordability in the future. And the guarantee of a minimum payment into the fund means employees know that even in tough times the bank will not drop its contribution below a certain level.
Though it might seem brutally market-driven, offering employees the prospect of their pension fund increasing as their company's performance improves could also make them work harder.
For other corporations wrestling with imploding pension schemes, it at least offers a new dimension for them to consider.
Women winners
MANY congratulations to the finalists and winners of the everywoman.co.uk awards, sponsored by Financial Mail and NatWest.
The awards recognise the success of women entrepreneurs, who now account for about 30% of all business start-ups.
But as Nigel Griffiths, Minister for Small Business, pointed out at last week's presentation ceremony, Britain still has some way to go. Last year more than half of all the new companies in America were set up by women.

Why proper nutrition is so vital in fighting infection
ScienceDaily (Aug. 30, 2010) — Richard Lamb and his post doctoral fellow Virginie Mieulet, in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, may be able to explain why proper nutrition is so vital in fighting infection.
They have discovered an amino acid, called arginine, is required to let the body know that it's being attacked by an infection.
It is still early in their work but this discovery could have implications for the millions of people in third world countries that do not get enough food and consequently become ill with infection.
It may also be the mechanism involved in chronic inflammation, like arthritis because if you have too much arginine it may cause the body to be in a constant state of thinking it is being attacked.
In a healthy person, macrophages are the first cells to arrive at the site of infection. They eat the infected cells and present a molecule that is recognized by the immune system on the surface of the infected cell which attracts more immune fighting cells to the area. According to Lamb it is known that arginine is essential for the function of macrophages but until now no one realized that arginine has a much bigger role.
In their most recent work, Lamb and Mieulet presented arginine to a laboratory model. These models were better able to fight infection even if they were malnourished.
"This is a major work," said Lamb. "If this holds true in humans it shows that one aspect of nutrition that is critical is the level of amino acids."
The study, which is published in the August 17 edition of journal Science Signaling, has taken the research group from the University of Alberta three years.

Is saying negative things about a gender only justified when there is a biased question?
Like if there is a biased question supporting women, the answers will counter it out by saying negative things about women. (and vice versa too) That is the only time he/she gets agreed too right?
Does a white person want to seek out an different race person of the opposite sex because the that person...?
will submit to the white person and do whatever he/she says? (Like they seek out and Asian from the opposite sex because their own race will not give in to their superiority crud)? Does he/she think that the opposite sex from their own race should be grateful they are not being punished in Islam? But he/she should not think about being grateful him/herself?

Jonathan Lethem's 'The Fortress of Solitude' is about two kids in Brooklyn who are given a magic ring by a wino. I know in this day and age you can't go two steps without some drunk on the street throwing a magic ring at you, but back then it was very rare.
Dylan Ebdus and Mingus Rude are best friends who spray paint a hobo's filthy cape while he's lying in the gutter, then discover he's the flying kind of hobo after he bequeaths his fantastical ring to Dylan in a hospital room. (As opposed to the regular kind of hobo, who never bequeath anyone anything you'd want to put on your hand.)
Dylan uses the ring to try and get to third base with a hot girl he meets on Summer vacation, Mingus fights a little crime then shelves the ring in favor of getting high. The last time a magic ring got used this little for heroics Bilbo Baggins was using one to skip out on a party.
If I had a magic ring that granted me the ability of flight, I'd wear it on my toe like a hippie lady- or in a thick pair of work gloves. Anything to hide this amazing miracle ring so nobody could steal it. Then again, if I ever take to the skies in carpenter's gloves or a lovely flowing dress i sewed myself, I guess you'll know my secret.
Break-dancing Muggings Funk Music Brownstones Punk Rock Cocaine Turntables Gangs!
Dylan's father is a reclusive artist who gets famous with nerds for painting pulp science fiction book covers, but he doesn't go in for that hogwash- he's fixated on his life's work: painting individual cells in a full length movie. Mingus' father is a reclusive soul singer who hangs out all day in a bathrobe doing coke with the occasional visit from Bootsy Collins.
'The Fortress of Solitude' is kind of like the story of Superboy if Superboy grew up as the only white boy in a not quite gentrified borough of Brooklyn in the 70's, and he had a cool black best friend that he traded his powers with. I bet if that had been the case Superboy would have had brown and orange tights and a yellow cape. Maybe a disco ball or a turntable instead of the big 'S'.
More like Superfly! What UP!

TECHNOLOGIES & TECHNIQUES STANDARD VIEWING CONDITIONS Much of FIRST 4.0 embraces and incorporates as many inter- nationally accepted standards as is possible and practical. A new topic in the design section is Standardized Viewing Conditions. Even if everything else is done properly in the color reproduction workflow, what may seem like a small thing can throw a major wrench in the works-case in point is viewing conditions. Another cold hard fact is that the illumination, or lighting, under which you view something/anything impacts the way you perceive color. It's one ofUthe big three" (sample, detector or receiver, and illumination) necessary to perceive or measure color. Not only do you have the situation where the color of the lighting affects the perceived color of the proof or printed piece, for example, but there's also the issue of metamerism. While there are different types of metamerism, the one we're usually most concerned with is when two samples match under one light source (or viewing condition) but don't under another. How many times have you heard of cases where there's a disagreement on whether the proof matches the printed piece only to find out that the complaining party is viewing them under different conditions than the other? In addition to the light source, or illumination, having a con- trolled environment is important. Items and colors in the pe- ripheral can impact human color perception, so it's best to utilize a viewing booth and be sure that there is nothing hanging or placed in the booth that can be seen peripherally. ANSI 2.30 - 1989 defines the viewing conditions that FIRST 4.0 recommends. It should also be noted that, for best agreement between color measurement and visual assessment, the light source in the view- ing booth and the illuminant chosen in the spectrophotometer should match. For example, CGATS.S - 1993 recommends DSO as the standard illuminant. So, the bulbs in the viewing booth should be DSO as should the illuminant selected in the spectro- photometer. When all parties in the color reproduction process use the same lighting and viewing conditions, it removes one source of potential discrepancy should there be a concern over the quality of the color match. PROCESS CONTROL TEST ELEMENTS In order for the printer to control the printing process, certain process control test elements must be included somewhere on the form. This has typically not been of concern for the designer, but two things have changed this situation: 1. CPCs are better understanding and realizing the need to have these elements on the pressrun for the printer to mea- sure and control the process. 2. Space is oftentimes limited thereby forcing the issue of in- cluding the control patches into the I-up design be it in a minor flap, a glue zone, the waste matrix area, etc. The other dynamic is that by only placing the test elements in the scrap areas of the form (if there is even space), the printer may either not get enough information about how the job is printing or get information not representative of the print perf or- mance of the design. This makes it difficult to adjust and control the pressrun to achieve target color. By incorporating the test ele- ments into the design somehow, they are much more indicative of what's going on in the saleable product. That is built-in con- fidence. More and more we are seeing these funny little squares and circles on bags and cartons. This is no longer a no-no in the eyes of the CPC; they understand the value of them. Typically it is best to include the following process control test elements for each color: . Solid Patches. These allow the printer to measure and moni- tor solid ink density (SID) and/or color of the solids for spot, or custom, colors. . Halftone Patches. These allow for monitoring and control- ling dot area/dot gain, also known globally as tone repro- duction. At least one patch should be incorporated (more if space allows). The printer should be involved in which tint patches are included. . Overprint Patches. When printing process color (CMYK), it is critical that the overprint primaries (red, green, and blue) print consistently and repeatedly. . Gray Balance Patches. These are made up of cyan, magenta, and yellow which in combination produce a neutral gray (as determined from a prior fingerprinting run). Gray balance is useful in determining quickly if something has changed, but one or more of the other patches (above) are needed to diag- nose the change. Often, a black tint of the same lightness is placed next to this patch as a visual reference of neutrality. . Registration Marks. These could be for print-to-print align- ment of the separations or for print-to-cut applications. Good communication between the designer, CPC, prepress provider, and printer should exist so that the needs of all are un- derstood and communicated as best as possible up front. Further, it can be determined where and how the test elements should best be incorporated. USPS INTElliGENT MAil BAR CODE New to FIRST 4.0 is the inclusion of the United States Postal Service Intelligent Mail Bar Code (CB4), which is used in high- speed mail applications. It comes from the USPS-B-3200C speci- fication and defines parameters such as horizontal dimension, vertical dimension, quiet zone, vertical and horizontal position- ing, content information, and font specifications. These are just some of the changes and additions made to the design section of FIRST 4.0. With each version comes new ap- proaches and updated information. The core mission of FIRST has not changed, and the better we all understand the entire pro- cess, the better we can all contribute in our specific areas toward stellar printing and packaging that meets or exceeds the expecta- tions of the customer while doing so in an efficient manner for all the stakeholders so that flexography continues to thrive, grow, and continuously improve. .

THE WEDDING; Father Knows Best
By Jacques Pepin;
Published: January 26, 1992
MY WIFE AND I MET IN THE MID-60'S ON A SKI slope in the Catskills. I was a chef in Manhattan during the week, but on winter weekends I worked as a ski instructor at Hunter Mountain. Gloria, already a good skier and a member of the ski patrol, arranged for a private lesson -- not, as I found out later, to improve her skiing but to meet me.
Always the dedicated teacher, I followed her down the hill, beating on the backs of her legs with my ski poles and calling out: "Bend your knees! Look down the hill!" At the end of the lesson, I left her standing on the hill with instructions to "just go out and practice and learn what I've taught you!" Luckily, she signed up for a second lesson, and we exchanged phone numbers afterward.
Most of my skiing friends were fellow chefs from New York, and when we weren't on the slopes, we spent our time together either cooking or getting ready to cook: hunting for game in the winter; fishing, picking wild mushrooms and gathering wild cress in the summer. It was a new world for Gloria.
The summer after we met, I took her to Craig Claiborne's home in East Hampton, L.I., and we danced in the dining room while consuming a bottle of Champagne. That evening, it was decided that Gloria and I should get married right there. In September, we did and had our reception on the beautiful grounds of Craig's Long Island home. The ceremony was performed near the swimming pool, which Craig had filled with multicolored zinnias, Gloria's favorite flower.
The home wedding has since become a tradition among our friends, and our 24-year-old daughter, Claudine, who grew up on stories and pictures of our wedding day, insists that she, too, must be married at home. Although she has no immediate plans to wed, we have discussed the type of food she will have at her reception. Just as my chef friends helped prepare Gloria's and my favorite dishes for reception guests, I plan to cook what I know my daughter likes to eat. The food will be a gift of love, and it should reflect our family's tastes while still appealing to everyone.
There are many advantages to the home reception: Not only is the event more personal, but the quality and variety of the food can far surpass that of ordinary catered wedding reception fare. And it is much less costly.
There are, certainly, some sizable expenditures. I want to cook for my daughter's reception, but I don't want to deal with setting up the dining-room service and cleaning up. We'll hire waiters, bartenders and a clean-up staff to assist with the serving and clearing, which should be minimal, since most of the meal will be served buffet-style. (The food will be prepared ahead and served either cold, at room temperature or lukewarm.) Ideally, Claudine's will be a summer wedding, and we'll have the reception outside, renting a tent in case the weather holds any surprises.
The wedding feast will begin with a spicy rum punch, served as a welcoming drink. Following this, guests can order drinks from an open bar while snacking on crudites, olives, saucisson, ham, cheese and fruits.
As a first course, I will serve marinated mushrooms and salmon gravlax, both of which could be made a week ahead. On the morning of the wedding, the gravlax will be sliced and arranged on individual plates; later, it will be waiting on the tables as guests sit down. Each table will be set with a basket of fresh bread and bottles of red and white wine.
A large seafood and pasta salad -- partly prepared a day ahead, then finished on the wedding day -- always pleases. On the wedding morning, I will slow-cook a large beef roast encrusted with herbs and spices and serve it lukewarm, thinly sliced.
On the morning of the wedding, with the help of friends, I will also grill some chicken thighs that have been marinated overnight. These will be garnished with a few of Claudine's favorite vegetables, perhaps artichoke bottoms and spinach.
Rather than a traditional wedding cake, my daughter has requested a croquembouche, a pyramid of small choux-pastry puffs filled with cream and glazed with caramel. This is best left to a professional pastry chef. With the croquembouche, I will serve a large fresh-fruit compote of prune plums and peaches cooked together in red wine and flavored with mint.
To serve 80 people -- the number of guests I plan on -- the gravlax recipe should be made three times, and the pasta, roast beef and fruit compote should each be made twice. SPICY RUM PUNCH The syrup: 2 oranges 2 lemons 4 cups granulated sugar 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons anise seeds 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 teaspoon black peppercorns 2 tablespoons coriander seeds 20 bay leaves 1/2 cup vanilla extract 8 cups water The punch: 2 quarts syrup (above) 2 liters white rum 2 12-ounce cans frozen orange concentrate 2 12-ounce cans frozen grapefruit concentrate 2 quarts cranberry juice.
1. For the syrup, remove the skin from the oranges and lemons with a vegetable peeler and place the peelings in a large saucepan. Extract the juice from the oranges and lemons and add it to the saucepan with the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and boil gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Strain through a fine strainer and cool. You should have 2 quarts.
2. For the punch, combine the punch ingredients in a large container and mix well. Transfer to gallon jugs, cover and refrigerate until serving time.
3. For each serving, place 1/2 cup ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass and pour 1/3 cup of the punch over the ice. Stir well and serve.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I then contacted another advisor who stated that it was possible to cash in this fund which i now have done. The answers given by my current independent advisors was a total miss truth. do i have a case against them.
The fund was only small 55,000 uk pound but i had to pay a second advisor to arrange this for me. When i contacted Montpellier about the transfer being possible they never returned my emails. However i do have an email from them stating that it was not possible until i was 55 years of age and then only 25% as lump sum.
Generally, your financial advisor owes you a duty to amoung other things answer questions truthfully and accuratelly. In some states in the U.S., he or she may owe you a fiduciary duty. If your damages result from your reliance on your advisors negligent or intentinally inacurate information about your investments, as they appear to have in this case, you may have a case against them for negligence amoung other claims. Most attorneys in this area will take cases such as this on contingency if the damage amount is at or near $100,000.00. It does not sound like your damages are in that area, thank goodness. If the damage amount is small, you may want to hire an atty. hourly or attempt to mediate a settlement youreself with your advisor. Your claim may be subject to mandatory arbitration as well, depending upon your agreement.

Wand, Knife and Silence
Moon/Wanda: Welcome back everyone! This is admittedly an interlude thanks to both writer's block and ill health, and I do apologize for the shortness of it, but in my defense I wrote most of it as I was recovering from a bad day on a school trip. As you might have noticed, I've also changed my pen name. Mostly to encompass all my current greatest interests - Wanda Maximoff, Ginny Weasely, and Legolas Greenleaf in the name of Marvel Comics, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Yes, I am that big of a nerd. Sue me. I, Wanda Ginny Greenleaf, do not own Harry Potter.
Chapter 10 Interlude: Death At the School
Pansy Parkinson was an angry girl.
She stalked through the halls throwing venomous looks at the few remaining werewolf bodies. She was alone late at night, and since Filch was still recovering from his encounters with the werewolves earlier that day the dungeon halls were deserted except for Aurors posted at every entranceway. There was no way in and out of the school.
The mangy beasts had failed. She had put all her time and energy into weakening the wards, letting the doors swing open just enough for them to get in so they could rid the school of the muggleborn filth and they screwed it all up.
Pansy had wanted revenge on the mudbloods ever since her father had been thrown in that horrid prison for daring to claim the respect and honor that should be inherit for any pureblood. He had stood by the one who would have made all that possible, the Dark Lord, who would sweep in and save the magical world from the things that festered in its wounds and gnawed at its foundations. The most powerful wizard ever to live.
And yet on that whim of those two blood traitor bitches, Weasley and Greengrass, her noble father had been thrown in prison, a martyr to the cause. Pansy hated the two girls for it. She'd always hated them from the first year, Greengrass's family outmatched hers money wise and Weasley had better grades. Both of them had thwarted a number of her earlier attempts to get rid of the filth in the school and her patience for the pair of them was running low. And that Granger bitch...oooh, Pansy couldn't wait to exact bloody vengeance on that mudblood for what she did during fifth year.
The proverbial last straw for Pansy was when Greengrasses little brat of a sister corrupted her Draco, brainwashing him into believing that the Dark Lord would lead them to ruin. The little whore just blinked those pretty green eyes at him and suddenly he was following her everywhere. Pansy had finally seized her chance when the packs came into the forests outside the school, she could get rid of the little parasite that was poisoning her Draco and she could get revenge on Greengrass through her little sister. The blonde bitch doted on her pathetic sister, she wouldn't be so accommodating after the little girl was savaged by a werewolf, ruined and worth nothing.
And yet...and yet...both of them had survived! All of them had! Worse then that, Astoria Greengrass had let Draco take the fall for her and he was the one carrying that horrid curse.
Pansy paced angrily. The whole attack had not gone as well as it was supposed to. She and Alecto Carrow had been counting on that old goat Dumbledore going by his usual 'stunners only' party line, and by the end the amount of casualties would have alienated many of the old fool's supporters, those who still clung to the idea that the old man was actually capable of saving them from their intended master.
Unfortunately the woman from Verona had other ideas, and the students had ended up fighting back regardless of the Headmaster's wishes. So not only did many potential victims survive, it gave the students and other Light aligned wizards another rallying point.
Pansy's sabotage had only succeeded in taking ten lives and injuring twenty six more while leaving only three truly moon touched. Which was pathetic she thought angrily, as Hogwarts was home to five hundred students.
Those beasts were truly worthless after all. The tame one Dumbledore had hired for a pet was more dangerous then Fenrir's vaunted pack. The most dangerous werewolf in existence, he had called himself so many times. Scourge of the aurors. You'd think that he would have been able to take on a group of motley seventh years!
The Slytherin continued her pacing, teeth grinding together. She needed something far more concrete to show for her efforts before she spoke through a proxy to the Dark Lord again. Fenrir was considered a huge asset to the Dark Lord's forces, loosing him would not be taken lightly. Not when Voldemort was finally beginning to mobilize to take this wretched country by storm.
The monsters he had recruited were rising in number, but the most savage of werewolves wasn't someone they could just replace. And if it fell on her shoulders...
Pansy gritted her teeth. Nott and Bulstrode should have made sure that her targets walked into the main pack! Those two Clan wizards wouldn't be anything without her taking pity on them when they lost their family fortunes to the raids carried out by the Weasley Patriarch and that cockroach Amelia Bones. Hadn't she promised them a share in money and glory if they put their backs into this venture? And yet they had failed their task.
"I might as well have asked for Crabbe and Goyle to do something about it," Pansy muttered under her breath, stalking back and forth, nails digging into her skin. "They would have proven just as useful, and I would have at least known that they had no brains to begin with!"
"That's not fair," A sulky voice sounded from the doorway.
Pansy paused in her irate stalking to turn towards it, glaring. Bulstrode had dared show her face after her failure this morning. Millicent walked out into the hallway, glancing uneasily over her shoulder to make sure the stationed Aurors were close enough to hear their conversation.
The girl had a huge frame, big boned and as mean as her slanted eyes suggested. It was a clear sign of imbreeding that some pureblood families turned towards in order to keep their purity, going back probably two generations. Millicent was considered a disappointment by her parents; her father was always drunk and her mother was a shrill harpy who could only remember the times when the family was great. She was more adept at using her fists then her spells, so her grades were some of the weakest in Slytherin.
She had ambition, however, despite her family having fallen on hard times thanks to gambling a few generations earlier, so when Pansy swooped in and said that she would restore the girl's family to greatness along with her own.
Millicent had been acting as Pansy's personal guard ever since, and she had taken over Crabbe and Goyle from Draco after the blonde Slytherin had become taken over by Light sided ideals.
You'd think that would install a bit of loyalty into the thug, Pansy thought furiously.
"What the hell happened?" She demanded.
"Those monsters couldn't tell the difference between me and the ones they were supposed to be eating. Besides, Greengrass and Weasley were with the Zabini boys through most of the night."
"Theo almost got himself killed trying to bait them into taking different passages, and that was just to set the smallest on Filch. Anything more then that and we would have been found out. What was I supposed to do?" Millicent responded with a growl.
"I-don't-want-your-excuses!" Pansy ground out, stalking across the room until she was nose to nose with the thug of a seventh year. "You know that the Our Dark Lord will tolerate them even less then I do!"
"We only did as we were told," Millicent snapped. "You said that you were going to take down the defences but apparently it didn't occur to the oh so smart Parkinson heiress that dating seventh years might be strolling the halls before the werewolves could descend on the ballroom?"
"That didn't matter!" Pansy snapped. "The point of this venture was to kill as many mudbloods and supporters of the old man as we could!"
"Oh, is this your psycho grudge against Daphne and Ginny again?" Millicent enquired sarcastically. "They're just two kids. Fish in a pond."
"If you believe that your a bigger idiot then you look," Pansy said sneeringly. "Greengrass and Weasley are some of the most prolific of Light supporters in our generation! All you had to do was make sure they walked into the main pack, even if you had to use your own flesh as bait! How could you screw that up!"
"My body?" Millicent snapped, glaring. "You're expecting me to stick my neck out and get turned into a 'mangy beast' as you love calling them? Oh, you were welcomed to that bit yourself if you wanted it done so badly!"
"How dare you!" Pansy growled out. "May I remind you that I'm the one who took you from a nobody and gave you a chance at greatness? My charity is what brought you out of the gutter you were stuck in, mine and my fathers! You OWE me!"
"Oh, grow up Parkinson! Haven't you noticed? None of your little schemes within the school have very much to show at this point. You've been outwitted by a Gryffindor and a couple of foreigners. Besides, you just give orders and then cower behind the nearest pureblood. You didn't even do any of the heavy lifting," Millicent growled right back, "Theo and I did. You only opened the door, nothing more. You never even left the safety of the ballroom!"
Pansy's nostrils flared, and she was tempted to go for her wand. It was a mark of how low she'd had to sink that she had to do dealings with thugs like Bulstrode, but until she had more even footing and better acclaim she'd be stuck with them.
Internally she fought to focus on the problem. "You might not have noticed, but what we achieved is significantly smaller then what we meant to in the first place! You want to meet our lord face to face for the first time as a failure?"
Millicent grimaced as she considered the ramifications of that.
Pansy would have to deliver to him one of those meddling little brats, someone with a close connection to Dumbledore. There was still a media chaos around Hogwarts, so most of the teachers would be busy talking to reporters. "Hm. Bulstrode, where's the Weaslette sleeping?"
Ginny had fallen asleep in the Slytherin dorm next to Daphne. The two friends had opted to stick together after the savage attack to better comfort each other, and a silent show of support. None of the other girls in the dorm had complained about it, which was a welcomed change of pace considering the usual dynamic between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Ginny was on a bed of her own, wearing a nightgown that left her neck exposed. Daphne was sleeping not too far off close to her sister, who'd clearly been crying for some time before she finally went to sleep.
Millicent walked towards the room and stopped at the doorway. It had been difficult, sneaking the sleeping draught into the drinks that had been served that evening. Most Slytherin girls had been trained to keep an eye out for those kinds of things. However, after the ordeal most of them would have been too tired to do any checks and had taken the bait easily, without even realizing it.
So Parkinson was good for something, Millicent mused. This might not be as difficult had she had been expecting. Dumbledore really didn't care about his students, if this was the standards of safety after an attack. Imagine that.
Millicent was so wrapped up in her intended kill, who she was walking towards slowly and quietly, that she didn't realize someone was behind her until he spoke. "You're supposed to be an assassin? You breathe so loudly I could hear you coming a mile away."
Millicent spun around, but it was too late. A cold hardness was pressed against her neck, and she found her arms pinned to her sides and staring straight into the twin eyes of an angry Harry and Blaise Zabini. Blaise was the one holding the knife, blue eyes narrowed into slits of barely suppressed anger.
"Not a sound," Harry croned with a crooked smirk, right before pulling his fist back and smashing it into Millicent's face. The world went dark.
Harry wasn't angry. He'd gone past angry a long time ago.
They had found the moles, and it couldn't have been better timed. Blaise had run for the dorms the moment he realized that there had been sleeping draught in the drinks passed around, correctly guessing the intended targets out of long practice and an admitted sense of protection.
Harry glanced around the room. No one had stirred. "They obviously have a leak, and they don't post aurors at the dorm doors?" He said in disgust. "The sooner Bones gets elected, the better. At this point I'd quite happily kill all the competition to ensure it."
Blaise turned Millicent over with his foot. "Inbred. Thug. There's no way she's doing this alone, someone's giving her direction. She's hardly likely to be the only one either. Harry? Check her memory."
Harry nodded briskly and knelt down next to Millicent's head. He put his wand against the seventh year's temple and began muttering under his breath. The spell he was using was technically illegal in every country except Norway, but Harry had been adept at mental magic ever since he was a child. His spells left virtually no trace on their victim, and always got him the information he needed.
Harry walked through Millicent's most recent memories, and his lip curled when he saw her talking to Pansy Parkinson and mentioning Theodore Nott. He heard all about the intended attack and that Pansy was getting help from higher moles.
That was meant for Daphne and Ginny, he thought with a hot spike of anger, along with any muggleborn they could snap up. That bitch is going down.
"Parkinson and Nott," he said as he moved back into the waking world. Blaise's eyes hardened, he had suspected that from the beginning as well. "And someone else is helping them, Bulstrode doesn't know who it is but there's no way that Parkinson doesn't."
"Then we'll get her." Blaise said coldly and shortly. "I'll be the one to make her talk, alright? You go and get Nott. He might be on his guard."
"As if that would make a difference," Harry responded dryly. "And after we've drained them for information?"
"Azkaban isn't worth the bricks it's built on," Blaise said contemptuously. "No, we'll show them the same mercy we showed their seniors. They're memebers of that group through and through, even if they have no mark."
Harry nodded and left the room, wand in hand. Blaise levitated Millicent and cast a heavy disillusionment charm over himself before heading in the direction of Parkinson's dorm.
Pansy screamed when she opened her eyes and saw herself hanging out of the Astronomy Tower window, thousands of feet above the ground. A moment later, she fell straight forward onto her face on the cold stone floor.
"Who helped you break the Hogwarts alarms?" The voice was cold and accented. Sure enough, Pansy twisted her head up slightly (her arms and legs were frozen in what could only be a bodybind curse) and saw the elder Zabini, Blaise, standing over her with a wand and a knife in hand. His entire face was expressionless except for his eyes, which were burning murderously.
"What are you talking about?" Pansy rasped, hoping she sounded innocent and confused enough for him, though in her heart she knew it wouldn't work, "Let me down you brute-"
Blaise clenched his fist and Pansy gasped in pain as the invisible cords binding her tightened to a constricting and painful degree. Her vision darkened for a minute, and she thought that he was going to strangle her when abruptly the bindings loosened again and she was left gasping on the floors.
"You might be able to play these words games with the old man running this castle, but they're not going to work on me."
There was a soft click on the ground, and the black-clad boy knelt close to her face. The dark leather was dragonhide, and the blade in his hand was painted black to keep it from reflecting the moonlight. "You have no wand and no one is going to hear you if you try screaming like a coward," He informed her icily.
Pansy tried making another noise, and then she felt a heavy hand grab none to gently a fistful of her hair and pull her head up by it, leaving her to stare into eyes like coal furnaces, burning just as hotly.
"So let me make one thing clear. You can tell me on your own free will who helped you, or I could force the truth out of you." Blaise informed her, his tone still holding that even icy cantor. It was his eyes that were promising violence, and pain the likes of which she, a pampered pureblood scion, would not be familiar with. "You won't like how I'll go about the second one."
"I know nothing!" Pansy insisted, squirming as she tried to reach for her wand.
Blaise smiled coldly and said, "I admit I was rather hoping you'd say that." He took out his wand and pressed it against Pansy's temple. The girl screamed as a feeling like a rock striking her skull rushed through her body, her mind scrambled and her vision going grey and then spiralling into multicolors. She could feel information being torn away from her, the knowledge she had sworn that she would not leak, and when it finally ended she collapsed on her face on the floor.
Blaise tapped one foot against the floor, humming as he considered what he had seen. Why is no one coming? Pansy thought desperately, Someone must be hearing or seeing what's going on up here! Why is no one coming to my aide?
"So, Peter Pettigrew seeks to regain his master's approval by wreaking havoc within Hogwarts," Blaise said. Pansy flinched violently. "He managed to get his master's body back, but his cowardice made him little use to the monster...he's seen as weak, the very thing that drove him to work for Voldemort in the first place. So he turns his attention the jewel that Voldemort has wanted to capture for a long time. Hogwarts itself. Hm, the weak and cowardly monsters are among the most disgusting. This doesn't surprise me at all."
Blaise's eyes fell upon her, cold and emotionless and that of a Dementor, no longer the face of a teenaged boy but that of a practised killer. "And you wish to elevate yourself in his eyes by letting him slaughter your classmates."
Pansy's throat was dry as a desert, and she found that her tongue was sticking to the roof of her mouth. So she couldn't deny it. Maybe there was another way out of this. Assassins often answered to pay. Perhaps she could convince him to change targets that way.
Blaise grabbed her by the throat and walked over to the window. Pansy kicked helplessly at him, and a second later she felt a shrieking wind whip through her hair.
"I could point out that your venture was useless anyway...Bellatrix Lestrange already serves as Riddle's bedwarmer, and she would rather kill you then share her place. I would have liked to see that... unfortunately, I'm not going to risk you threatening my brother and someone who means something dear to me by waiting for her to realize this."
His eyes flashed. "Have you wondered why they didn't identify the ones who did the Ministry killings?" He asked casually.
Pansy choked in terror, not just because she was being held by the throat. Blaise leaned in and smirked coldly at her. "Because we didn't use magic."
With that, Blaise bodily flung her out the window of the tower.
With Harry
Harry kicked Theodore Nott to the ground just in time to see Pansy leave the tower window. He watched, one heel on Nott's back, as the body fell down, down, down...and finally hit the ground with a distant cracking noise.
Harry made a clicking noise in his mouth. "That probably isn't very fair to Filch, if he's the one to clean tomorrow...I might just give him a pay raise. Having to scrape junior death eater off the walkways must be unpleasant."
"Monster..." Nott groaned out, trying to stand up.
Harry put more force on his heel, causing Nott to cough violently as he struggled to breathe. "Pot, this is kettle. You're black. A bit hypocritical, honestly, because you're a shade of black darker then my own."
"I killed to get the mark, yes. What about you? You've killed, more in number then me judging by who your mother is. What's the difference?" Nott wheezed out, glaring up at him.
"Oh, good question. Not many are this smart. Let me think..." Harry said disdainfully, green eyes widening in mocking surprise. He twisted his heel on Nott's back as he pretended to deeply contemplate the question. "Ah, I've got it. You kill for pleasure and for sport. It's my job to step in and take out trash like you, by the leave of your enemies, when legal means simply don't cut it."
He drew his knife and said, "Don't join in a war if you don't expect the chance of becoming a casualty. But you didn't consider that, did you? You figured the monster who's helm you kiss is invincible."
With that, Harry leaned down and cut open Nott's throat. The blood soaked the grass, pouring out of the wound as for thirty seconds Nott writhed and struggled against the inevitable. After a minute, he finally gave up and lay still, his eyes still wide and staring.
Harry chuckled to himself and stepped off the body, saying "Think you can play the 'not so different' card? Like I've never heard that one before." He took a few steps to the right, turned and pointed one of the wand at the body. "Incendio."
A burst of fire consumed the corpse, leaving nothing behind but a puddle of blood and ashes. Harry turned and walked away without another word. Fire was extremely useful to assassins. Just in case you had to use magic, you could eliminate the body completely.
He stopped by the unconscious Millicent Bulstrode and looked down at his hand. He was holding her wand, which he had used to mock duel Nott for just the right amount of time. With careful concentration, he added the memory of another spell to the wand itself. It was a simple spell that most wizards learned in their first year, but with enough power it could lift a teenager's body high up into the air.
Blaise appeared next to him just as he finished and put the wand in Millicent's hand. Harry gave his brother a cocky smirk and said, "Ready for this bit?"
Blaise rolled his eyes. "You ask me this every time we do a frame up. I'm your older brother Harry. What do you think?"
Harry gave him a completely unapologetic smile and knelt next to Bulstrode's head. Blaise knelt on the other side and as one they began to work a spell that few people would have known, False Mind. It took a good deal of concentration and care, but done properly it mimicked memories that the person in question was trying to hide from others. It wouldn't take their mother or one of the interrogators long to reach them, and it left no traces.
Once they were done, Blaise said, "Harry, make yourself scarce. I'm going to report these unfortunate deaths, and it might be suspicious if you're here."
"It's the whole 'suspicious fourth champion thing, isn't it?'" Harry grumbled. "Fine. I'll go back and check on the di Angelos."
"And talk to mother as soon as you you have the chance. We were right, it was Pettigrew who got the werewolves into the castle."
Harry's eyes narrowed into slits at the mention of the man who betrayed his birth parents. Blaise knew that more then anything, his younger brother wanted to find, and kill, the person who had betrayed Lily and James Potter to their deaths. As much as Harry did love him, Samantha, and their grandparents, Blaise could remember nights where he lay awake, crying for the parents he had never met, or screaming from the age old nightmare of the green light killing the mother who refused to step aside and save her own life.
Samantha had told Harry everything she could about the pair of them, but it wasn't the same as knowing them. Blaise knew, with a somewhat heavy heart, that Harry would never know true peace until he could confront the evil that killed his original parents.
Blaise, who loved Harry as his stubborn and wild younger brother, had made a vow to himself that when he did confront that evil, they would be standing together.
"Did she know where he is?" Harry asked quietly.
"No," Blaise replied regretfully. "I looked, but she had never been allowed that deeply into Voldemort's council. But I may know where we can start looking."
"Great," Harry said without a trace of emotion. "I'll be waiting."
"I know," Blaise responded. Together, the boys left the sight and walked back towards Hogwarts.
End Chapter
I wanted to remind everyone that for whatever else Harry and Blaise are, they're still assassins and therefore morally grey. I felt I was drifting away from this, but they are the center of the story and the next few chapters will be centric to them. Ginny and Daphne do have their roles but they're secondary to these two.

Providence Resources notes recent press commentary regarding litigation between Providence and Transocean Drilling UK Limited, a subsidiary of Transocean Ltd.
Providence can confirm that a Judgment was handed down by the Hon. Mr Justice Popplewell on Friday, 19 December, 2014 in the Commercial Court in London. The case related to certain cost claims made by Transocean against Providence regarding the use of the semi-submersible drilling unit, the Arctic III, in 2011/12 on Providence's Barryroe oilfield, offshore Ireland.
The total claim, which was made by Transocean in 2012, amounted to approximately $19 million. Providence, in defence of its position, counter claimed against Transocean.

Boston Neighborhood Transforms Church into Housing
It seems every week we hear about some Catholic Archdiocese selling its churches or schools. But what happens to those properties? WBUR's Monica Brady-Myerov revisits the neighborhood of Jamaica Plain which purchased Blessed Sacrament Church. The local community development corporation is now building a four-story co-housing complex inside the ten-story church.
"Taking a church and turning it into housing is a bit of a challenge," says Brian Goldson, of New Atlantic Development, the firm that is overseeing construction. "You ask the church what it wants to be and it tells you it wants to be a church, not a bunch of condos."
In addition to co-housing, below-market-rate condos are for sale in what used to be the church rectory. The convent will house formerly homeless people. Former parishoner Demaris Pimental supports a mix of housing. "It's not good to have only low-income (housing)," Pimental tells WBUR. "It's good to have a little bit of market value. And keeping that balance is a challenge for our neighborhood because gentrification will change that unique taste of diversity that Jamaica Plain has."

Deal Fever Is No Rare Disease
Sanofi-Aventis should buy Genzyme. And so should GlaxoSmithKline. And Johnson & Johnson. And AstraZeneca.
Many have argued that the French pharmaceuticals giant ought to snap up the Massachusetts-based biotech and rare disease specialist, a possibility first reported Friday by WSJ. The catch is that the arguments given apply to many of Sanofi's peers, as well.
Indeed, if other companies enter the fray, the winner of a bidding war will not be the company best positioned to wring value out of the acquisition. The bidders will hardly be differentiated there. Instead, the winner will be the company with the most potent combination of desperation for new revenue and financial capacity to pay for it.
Here is a (perhaps partial) list of the justifications pundits have offered for the deal:
- Sanofi faces patent expiries in the near and medium terms, and Genzyme would provide products with robust patent protection and pricing power.
- There are very few biotech assets available of significant size.
- Sanofi, with a net debt/Ebitda ratio well below 1, has the financial flexibility to pay for Genzyme.
- The sum of Genzyme's parts is worth more than the whole — perhaps nearly $80 a share.
- Genzyme is in a slump because of its manufacturing problems, so might be had for a low price.
- Genzyme CEO Henri Termeer could be a willing seller; having activist investor Carl Icahn hanging around the company won't hurt on the willing seller front, either.
- The stars of Genzyme's pipeline, Campath and Mipomersen, could have big upside.
What's conspicuous about the talk surrounding a Sanofi-Genzyme tie-up is that no one has suggested that Sanofi would make a better partner than any other big pharma player.

Think Beyond Retirement AccountsMost people think if they max out their 401(k)s (and get their employers' matching contributions) and contribute to their IRAs on top of that, they've done enough. Doing both is great, but in most cases you'll need to save even more. "We all get hung up on retirement money being only in tax-advantaged retirement accounts, but the reality is we need good old-fashioned savings too, even if it is in something that isn't called a retirement account," says Adam Leone, a certified financial planner at Modera Wealth Management. Leone suggests the time honored strategy of paying yourself first. Just as you never lay a hand on the money that goes into your 401(k), set up a direct deposit into your taxable retirement account to make sure you actually put the money away. Stick with low-cost index funds and ETFs and stocks bought through discount brokerage firms to keep costs low, says Leone.
And keep in mind that taxable retirement savings accounts are a good way to diversify your investments into sectors such as real estate and energy that aren't routinely offered in most employer 401(k) options. Master Limited Partnerships, for instance, can be a great high-yield retirement investment, but they are a lousy retirement account investment because of the tax treatment. "You can use your after-tax retirement savings to truly diversify your nest egg," says Leone.

In 1st ODI witch Pak team beat India by 6 Wickets, Pakistan ODI skipper Misbah-ul-Haq said his team was "lucky" on Sunday to overcome India in the first One-day International and they need to work harder and improve a fair bit to tame the hosts in the second match on Thursday.Fortunes swung in an absorbing opening one-dayer, but it was Pakistan who held their nerve to record a six-wicket win and go one-up in Chennai. Junaid Khan had India reeling with a remarkable spell of swing bowling, MS Dhoni bailed India out with a tenacious, unbeaten century but the target of 228 wasn't enough to test Pakistan. Nasir Jamshed played a composed, yet chancy century, but nevertheless took the responsibility of finishing the job he had started. Younis finally went when Ashwin latched on to a low catch off Ashok Dinda, a decision which was referred to the TV umpire by on-field umpire Billy Bowden. But by that time, the visitors were already in a good position and just needed to bat sensibly to reach the target.
For 2nd ODI both teams are ready for takes on with best swing bowlers for beat and take match points. India and Pakistan teams have best bowlers among world specially Pak team have 2 top ODI bowlers in team with full form.

While most Star readers were enjoying a peaceful Boxing Day, two local teams of intrepid drivers were setting out for a spin - by car to Dakar, Senegal.
The 3000 mile rally is being undertaken in old bangers costing no more than £100 each and will carry on for three weeks to raise cash for various children's charities.
Dave and Karen Dollemore, known as The Dolly Dealers "as Dave is always wheeling and dealing," and their Farnborough friends Matthew and Jaki Adams, aka The Wacky Racers, from Holly Road, are currently bouncing out to adventure in two beaten-up old Ladas, on which they were allowed to spend £15 in "preparations"! Matthew paid just £50 for their vehicle. The amazing adventure is being filmed by Channel Four.
Karen, from Fernhill Road in Cove, did a caravan trip to Northern Spain last year which was 1,600 miles each way, but this time their destination is through France, Spain and Morocco to a place called Dakhla "where the tarmac ends and the fun begins."
They then move on to Mauretania, Senegal and finally Dakar. Four-wheel drive vehicles like the Ladas will drive along the 300 mile beach in Mauretania's national park. Dave and Karen are planning to sleep on the roof of their car, in a tent, to avoid the creepy crawlies that lurk on the ground.
If the vehicles survive the trip they will be handed over to charities in Senegal and Gambia.The adventurers will pass through places like Casablanca and Rabat and aimed to spend new year's eve in Marrakesh.To minimise risk the cars, laden with jerrycans of water and fuel, will travel in convoys of at least ten. Although temperatures may exceed 120 F in some places, Karen says the thing she most dreads is "going to the loo in the desert."
Asked if he was worried about getting lost, Dave Dollemore claimed that as Karen could get to Guildford without a map she would be "a formidable co-driver." None of the teams has ever done anything this adventurous before. "If we had done, do you think we would be going again?" asked Dave.They are hoping to keep Star readers up to date with their progress on a daily basis on this web site: http://rally2002-2003.freehomepage.com/index.html Readers who would like to contribute to their good causes for children can still make their pledges.

I've been playing around with Virtualbox lately (very new to virtualization in general), and created a few VM's. I wanted to experiment with them to see if we could use linux distros to access some intranet websites and web apps at workstations that don't need Windows functions. On these VM's I can't seem to bring up any intranet locations. Any suggestions? I tried it with Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop and Chrome OS.
Dec 17, 2010 at 10:49 UTC
In the VM settings, check the NIC settings - it's probably set to host-based or NAT, you want bridged.

DNS pointed to the local servers rather than 126.96.36.199? Can you hit them via IP?
Dec 17, 2010 at 10:49 UTC
With the default settings in Ubuntu I can ping the server I'm trying to access the intranet site for, but can't bring up the site in Firefox or Chrome.
I can bring up internet sites with DHCP set on the auto eth0 adapter, but when I set a static IP like we normally use they don't come up. I can still ping the server, though.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Can you resolve the names using nslookup? Can you ping the server on which the site runs? Do you have/need a proxy?
Dec 17, 2010 at 10:56 UTC
I changed the VM setting from NAT to bridged and it looks like we're golden. Thanks folks =)
Dec 20, 2010 at 8:35 UTC
Funny it still should have worked in NAT, unless you had security policies in place to prevent it.
