BUCHAREST (Jun. 12)
A special tax ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 lei annually has been imposed upon denaturalized Jews under a decree, made public today, regulating the status of Jews deprived of their citizenship in the revision of Rumanian citizenship lists. No such tax is levied on foreigners residing in Rumania. While other taxes are payable in installments, the tax authorities have demanded that this special levy be paid in full at the time it falls due.
Dr. William Filderman, Rumanian Jewish leader, cited the discriminatory character of the tax in a memorandum to the Government. He said it was being imposed upon many ex-servicemen who had participated in the Wars of Liberation, while former and possibly future enemies of the nation were exempt. He demanded exemption of those producing certificates of impoverishment and deferred payments for others.

Johannesburg to host 3 global summits in 2013
In association with stakeholders, our convention bureau continues with its sustained bidding efforts and there is no doubt that these are bearing fruit, contributing substantial economic benefits to our local industry. - Phelisa Mangcu, Johannesburg Tourism Company acting CEO.
Three influential global summits will be taking place in Johannesburg in 2013, bringing together global leaders, decision makers, activists, innovators and youth leaders to discuss the environment, urbanisation and other pressing global issues.
The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group Mayors Summit takes place in June 2013 and brings together global leaders, activists and innovators from 59 major world cities. C40 is a grouping of cities that seek to implement sustainable policies related to locate climates that will tackle climate change globally. The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group is currently chaired by New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg, and is supported by the Clinton Climate Initiative.
Metropolis (World Association of Major Metropolises) will hold its Board of Directors meeting in Johannesburg in July 2013. The 5-day event will see mayors and decision makers from more than 120 of the world's leading cities converge on Johannesburg to discuss the impact of urbanisation on the world. The meeting coincides with a meeting of the Forum of Metropolitan Mayors.
One Young World is a global forum of youth leaders who come together to debate and create solutions for the world's pressing issues. The 2013 One Young World Summit in Johannesburg is expected to attract more than 1 000 delegates from around the world. Archbishop Desmond Tutu and former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan are among One Young World's patrons. A date for the summit has still to be decided.
Executive mayor of Johannesburg, councillor Mpho Parks Tau, said Johannesburg was selected as the host city for these summits because of its excellent record of success in organising major international events.
'These summits will bring visitors from across the world and showcase the city's opportunities for tourism, trade and investment,' said Tau.
Acting CEO of the Johannesburg Tourism Company, Phelisa Mangcu, is thrilled with Jo'burg's growing list of recent bids won and the summits set to take place over the next few years.
'In association with stakeholders, our convention bureau continues with its sustained bidding efforts and there is no doubt that these are bearing fruit, contributing substantial economic benefits to our local industry,' she said.

Feds want data protected in cyber fraud case
The federal government has some information in the Nick Trombetta case that is so sensitive that it doesn't want the public to know it exists, according to a court document filed Friday.
A federal grand jury on Aug. 23 indicted the founder of the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School and his accountant, Neal Prence, on fraud and tax-evasion conspiracy charges. By law, prosecutors have to let the pair and their attorney see the evidence that will be used against them.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Kaufman filed a complex motion Friday that essentially asks U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti to keep the contents of a second motion secret. The second motion, for a protective order, seeks to keep something else in the case secret.
Kaufman said the double layer of secrecy is warranted because the motion for the protective order "reveals a matter which should not be disclosed publicly" and even the reasons for keeping that matter secret shouldn't be disclosed.
University of Pittsburgh law professor David Harris said protective orders in criminal cases typically seek to shield either witnesses or protect ongoing investigations aimed at other people.
"With these protective orders, it's a guessing game," he said.
It is unusual for the government to want to shield the reason that it's seeking the protective order, Harris said.
The U.S. Attorney's Office declined comment.
Trombetta, 58, of East Liverpool, Ohio, and Prence, 58, of Koppel pleaded not guilty last week and remain free on bond.
U.S. Attorney David Hickton said the pair committed an intricate fraud, mostly with taxpayer money, that used the school that Trombetta founded in 2000 and a string of spinoff companies to pad Trombetta's pocket with nearly $1 million.
Trombetta left the Midland school last year just before agents searched his offices at the school and elsewhere. He used the money for living and entertainment expenses and to buy property, including a condo in Florida, his girlfriend's home in Ohio and an airplane, prosecutors say.
Prence helped Trombetta and leaders of two shell companies prepare false tax returns that hid about $8 million from the Internal Revenue Service over six years, prosecutors say. The leaders of the shell companies have not been charged.
Hickton said the investigation continues.
Prosecutors said employees of PA Cyber and a related nonprofit who did work that earned Trombetta money did not know about the scheme and that PA Cyber did nothing wrong.
When Trombetta and Prence were arraigned last week, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Cessar said a tap on one phone yielded so much evidence that investigators set up a database to track it.
One use of a protective order is to prevent defendants and their lawyers from sharing information the government gathered on other people during an investigation.

Sofia Vergara in a Swimsuit in Greece | Pictures
Sofia Vergara Mixes It Up in Greece
Sofia Vergara Mixes It Up in Greece
Sofia Vergara put her fit frame on display when she hit the beach in Mykonos, Greece, yesterday. Last week, she was joined on the beach by her fiancé, Nick Loeb, and her son, Manolo, who was the subject of a somewhat controversial interview she recently gave to Harper's Bazaar. She told the magazine that she likes to spend her money on her Hermès Birkin collection and joked that she tells her son that if she doesn't have enough money for his college tuition one month, he should hawk her handbags. The quote drew criticism online because some people felt that Sofia was advocating poor spending habits. However, the hubbub didn't appear to affect the Modern Family star, who has been tweeting about her mixture of "work and pleasure" in Greece.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A woman charged with killing a man driving past her house after she came home and found her home burglarized pleaded not guilty Monday to second-degree murder.
Karla Davis, 36, had just returned to her home on Ancona Drive North just after 9 p.m. Feb. 21 with her daughter and boyfriend when she discovered her house had been broken into.
Police said Ian Klinedinst, 22, was in a vehicle with his 2-year-old daughter and friend. He was being followed by his girlfriend, her friend and two other children in another vehicle. Both vehicles drove by Davis' home on the way to a well-known place for socializing at the end of Earline Circle North.
The first car weaved around Davis' car, and as the other car occupied by Klinedinst (pictured) and his 2-year-old passed, Davis fired a shot, hitting Klinedinst's face.
The driver of the other vehicle fired a shot back at Davis' car, but missed. Police said he would not be charged.
Davis went back to her house, packed a bag and went to a hotel. The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office found her and arrested her.
Police said Davis claimed the shooting was in self-defense, but witness accounts and physical evidence refute that claim.
Davis was booked into the Duval County Jail on a murder charge.

Windows RT finally becomes commercially available today in the form of the Microsoft Surface tablet. It dispenses with several "essential" Microsoft technologies, such as domain joins, while adding "dangerous" technologies such as cross-device syncing and cloud storage. Funny: When Apple and Google debuted devices with the same issues, IT tried to bar the door. But because Windows RT comes from Microsoft, the stated fears suddenly don't apply. Just as suddenly, tablets are no longer toys because Microsoft sells its own.
There's a word to describe these IT people: hypocrites.
The hypocrisy extends further, of course. At the recent CITEworld Forum, the audience of IT pros was asked a series of questions about their companies' mobile deployments. Fewer than a quarter required user devices to have passwords -- so much for all the security objections you keep reading about, given that capability is free and built into Exchange. About a third said employees were allowed to bring in their own devices, but more than half of the IT pros admitted that they brought in their own personal devices, in a clear double standard.
Maybe Windows Phone 8 will be a good tool for both users and IT, and maybe Windows RT and Windows 8 can be made acceptable. But IT fanboys have already made up their minds, ironically following the same behavior they sneeringly ascribe to users when they choose something they like instead of what IT wants.
The true IT pros will assess Microsoft's new mobile tools as they become actually available, in the same way they would assess those from Apple, the Android community, or Research in Motion. They'll put aside their own biases and try to support what the users want and need, to the extent that they can do so rationally and cost-effectively -- regardless of the brand names involved.
Now that Windows 8 is finally released, the first Windows RT and Windows 8 tablets are shipping, and the first Windows Phone 8 devices appear to be on the immediate horizon, IT has its chance to come clean about its pervasive Microsoft fanboyism and show it can instead be a fair judge of technology, no matter the source. Only then will users believe IT's concerns and take them into consideration.
Otherwise, it'll become the battle of the fanboys -- a battle IT is destined to lose and in fact is already losing.

RESIDENTS had a chance to challenge police and crime commissioner Martyn Underhill over the performance of the police force at a public meeting tonight.
A community engagement forum held in Boscombe began by debating the "unacceptable" delays facing callers using the 101 non-emergency phone number.
One resident claimed he had given up after waiting 55 minutes for the number to be answered, while another said she had waited 23 minutes.
Superintendent Jared Parkin – who said he had not heard of waiting times reaching 55 minutes – said there had been a 27.5 per cent increase in non-emergency calls over the same period last year.
Mr Underhill told the meeting: "It's frustrating for people. I understand that. "We are working hard to try and resolve it.
"We must have a 101 service that works, otherwise people won't have confidence in their police force."
Supt Parkin said the force was saving £1.3million by merging two control rooms into one based at Winfrith – a big enough saving to pay for at least 25 more police officers in Bournemouth.
Mr Underhill said the extra officers would make a difference.
He added: "We're achieving that by merging two control rooms but we're getting a lot of pain in doing it and the pain is we're not getting your phones answered."
At the meeting, residents also raised their concerns about prostitution, the state of housing in Boscombe and the number of drug rehabilitation centres.

Mini We day at H.D. Stafford on Friday
H.D. Stafford Middle school is holding a Mini We Day on Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.
The day will include activities and a penny drive to support Free the Children — which is the We movement's charity.
The Mini We Day is held to inspire students to be the "change they wish to see" and to end apathy.
The idea was inspired by the hugely popular We Day held every year for thousands of B.C. students at Rogers Arena. This year Magic Johnson spoke to students and was joined by several famous musicians. We Day was created by brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger who, as youths, started a global movement to inspire kids into action.

TRAFFORD dominated their final away game of the season for long spells but were guilty of missing chances and fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat.
The visitors started brightly with some neat possession football on a difficult surface and in the 11th minute Scott Barlow headed weakly at goalkeeper Lee Dovey from close range.
Joe Shaw then pulled the ball across the face of the goal with Barlow just failing to connect before Bamber Bridge took the lead on the half hour mark with their first attempt on goal.
George Bowyer cut in from the right and cracked in a low stinging drive that was superbly saved by Andy Robertson. Cruelly, the ball fell kindly to Andy Bell who fired in the rebound via the right knee of Farrell Kilbane.
Trafford were undaunted by this setback and pinned the home side back into their own half.
Joe Shaw saw his free kick pushed to safety by Dovey, volleyed wide and was then denied a penalty after appearing to be tripped.
Scott Barlow then shot agonisingly wide of the post and on the stroke of half time Danny Shannon turned neatly in the box and fired a low drive that cannoned back into play off the upright.
The second half was a big disappointment with both teams repeatedly giving the ball away and there was a distinct lack of goalmouth action.
Joe Shaw brightened things up slightly for the visitors with a thunderous drive from 30 yards that flew just over whilst at the other end Danny Mahoney almost made it two when he headed a right wing corner against the post.
Scott Barlow saw his snapshot held by Dovey but the best chance of the second period fell to Andy Bell when he broke completely clear of the Trafford defence in the 82nd minute but lacked composure and Andy Robertson forced him to fire wide.
Mahoney blasted in a shot from 20 yards that was well held by Robertson but the game came to a close with Trafford lacking the creative spark that was needed to break down the well drilled home defence.
Trafford will be hoping to end the season on a high on Saturday when they entertain local rivals Radcliffe Borough at Shawe View in an Evo Stik League Division One North encounter kicking off at 3pm.

Because many cases could be prosecuted in either federal courts or military commissions, that protocol sets forth a number of factors, including the nature of the offence, the location in which the offence occurred, the identity of the victims, and the manner in which the case was investigated.
HOLDER: All of these things must be considered.
In consultation, again, with the secretary of defence, I have looked at all of the relevant factors and made case-by-case decisions for each detainee.
It is important that we be able to use every forum possible to hold terrorists accountable for their actions. Just as a sustained campaign against terrorism requires a combination of intelligence, law enforcement and military operations, so must our legal efforts to bring terrorists to justice involve both federal courts and reformed military commissions.
I want to thank the members of Congress, including Senators Lindsey Graham, Carl Levin and John McCain, who worked so hard to strengthen our national security by helping us pass legislation to reform the military commission system.
We will continue to draw on the Pentagon support as we bring cases against the alleged 9/11 conspirators in federal court. The Justice Department has a long and a successful history of prosecuting terrorists for their crimes against our nation, particularly in New York. Although these cases can often be complex and challenging, federal prosecutors have successfully met these challenges and have convicted a number of terrorists who are now serving lengthy sentences in our prisons.
And although the security issues presented by terrorism cases should never be minimized, our marshals, our court security officers and our prison officials have extensive experience and training dealing with dangerous defendants, and I am quite confident that they can meet the security challenges posed by this case.
These detainees will not be transferred to the United States for prosecution until all legal requirements are satisfied, including those in recent legislation requiring a 45-day notice and report to the Congress.
I have already spoken this morning to Governor Paterson and to Mayor Bloomberg and am committed to working closely with them to ensure that all security and related concerns are properly addressed. I have every confidence that we can safely hold these trials in New York, as we have so many previous terrorist trials.
HOLDER: For the many Americans who lost friends and relatives in the attacks of September the 11th, 2001, and on the USS Cole nothing can bring back those loved ones. But they deserve the opportunity to see the alleged plotters of those attacks held accountable in open court, an opportunity that has too long been delayed.
Today's announcement marks a significant step forward in our efforts to close Guantanamo and to bring to justice those individuals who have conspired to attack our nation and our interests abroad.
For over 200 years, our nation has relied on a faithful adherence to the rule of law to bring criminals to justice and provide accountability to victims. Once again, we will ask our legal system in two venues to rise to that challenge. I am confident that it will answer the call with fairness and with justice.
QUESTION: Mr. Attorney General, what do you say to those who say you have a $400 million facility down in Cuba that has been secured; why couldn't the terrorists be prosecuted there?
HOLDER: Well, we look at -- as I said, the protocol that we worked out with the Department of Defence and on an individualized basis made the determination that we can, I think, be most successful in bringing the cases involving the 9/11 detainees in federal court in New York.
QUESTION: How much of a factor for you was it that in the case of the five 9/11 detainees you're returning them basically to the scene of the crime?
HOLDER: Well, that is something that typically happens in the criminal law. The cases are typically tried in the place where the offence occurred, and so that was one of the factors.
There are a number of other factors that went into making that determination, including the nature of the people who were the victims: largely civilians in New York.
In addition to that, this is a matter that, as I said, happened in this country as opposed to overseas, which is different from what we might do with regard to those who are going to be tried in the military commissions.Report Typo/Error

The Lost Pirate (aka Cap'n Hand) was a RuneScape random event. He would mistake the player for one of his shipmates and talk to the player. If the player ignored him, he would attack the player with a crossbow. He would usually hit 3 or 4 hitpoints of damage on the player and would shoot to the death. If a player tried to talk to him whilst he was in the process of attacking that player, he would stop attacking them and they would receive the reward from him.
After the random event update on 25 February 2009 he was retired and now resides in Port Sarim Jail with several other ex-random event characters. If talked to, he will mention that he shouldn't be in jail as he gave away as much booty as he stole, this is a reference to his past services as a random event.
- Cap'n Hand's name is a parody of the villain of Peter Pan known as "Captain Hook", referring to the hook he used in place of his hand after losing it to a crocodile. It could also possibly be a reference to Israel Hands, a real life pirate and character in Treasure Island, or The Captain's Hand an episode of Battlestar Galactica. More likely it is just a pun on the phrase "cap in hand", referring to beggars.
- Despite being in jail, Captain Hand still wields his crossbow.
- Cap'n Hand is one of the few characters in RuneScape which break the fourth wall. (He tells the player to come back soon after speaking to them in Jail, claiming that the pirate he is jailed with is not very talkative "On account of having no "Talk-To" option")
- Despite the fact that he seemed to wield a hunter crossbow, he used the Karil's crossbow attack animation.
In September 2007, Cap'n Hand's appearance was modified in the Achievement Diary - Varrock update.

I saw this blog from Jeffrey Yao on investing in your career, and thought it would be a great editorial. It echoes a lot of what I've written in the past, you can't know everything, but you have to keep doing it.
I like his advice, and while I'm not sure in which order I'd invest in those things (likely an "it depends" scenario), I do think that he has three important ways to look at your learning.
I also wouldn't recommend, or have anyone blogging, that they are learning or doing something so they have more free time. If you are making more time for work, then you should be moving your investment into areas that will help you company.

Matt Shipp feels the stress all over. As the new owner of a restaurant along the oil-stained Alabama coast, he doesn't know if his business will survive the summer. At home, his 10-year-old daughter, Kamila, worries her family — who came to Orange Beach from Mobile eight months ago — might have to move again.
"We uprooted our lives, changed schools, which is stressful enough," says Shipp, 42, who opened Shipp's Harbour Grill in October. "Now we're questioning whether we're going to survive."
Shipp is far from alone.
"The psychological impact is tremendous. I see it bearing down on people every single day," said Joey Ward, another restaurant owner and a lifelong resident of the Alabama coast.
Much has been said about the environmental, medical and financial impact of the BP oil spill. Now residents and experts say the spill also is exacting a serious emotional toll on people who live — and make their living — by the gulf. Even people who haven't seen the first drop of oil stain their shores are feeling the strain.
History shows that living through large-scale disasters can lead to dangerously high stress, anxiety and depression, along with increases in substance abuse and domestic violence.
J. Steven Picou, a sociology professor at the University of South Alabama, saw all those consequences in the months and years after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off the coast of Alaska, which he has studied extensively.
"We documented those characteristics for as long as 20 years after the spill," said Picou, who plans another research trip to Alaska next year. "They don't go away."
• • •
Picou, who also lives in Orange Beach, sees many similarities in how people are reacting to the BP disaster and what he observed in Alaska.
"People are angry, distracted, worried. They're having a hard time coming to grips with the reality of the situation," he said. "We're seeing the first indicators of the mental health impacts here."
In Alaska, Picou documented spill-related depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, along with alcohol and drug abuse, especially in people who lived in towns closest to the spill and most directly tied to the fishing industry.
Picou noted that four years after the spill, the former mayor of the small fishing town Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The agencies are tracking symptoms that could be related to breathing, swallowing or touching the oil, which can include headache, nausea, vomiting and skin problems, as well as respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
But Picou and others say officials should also be paying close attention to symptoms of psychological problems. They say health officials should be reaching out to gulf residents, because many of them either may not recognize they need help or might be reluctant to seek it.
One issue: Women are generally more willing to seek medical and psychological help. As a result, Patrick Marsh, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of South Florida, said women are more likely to be diagnosed with stress and anxiety disorders and get appropriate treatment. But men are more likely to turn to drinking, drugs and even violence.
"The worse the disaster,'' he said, "the worse the symptoms tend to be."

Maybe you live far from the spill, don't know anyone who's near it and have no reason to worry about your financial future.
But if the spill has you so distressed you cannot hold back your tears and rage, you are not alone.
Michelle Simoneaux sees it a lot in the people who come to the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary in Indian Shores. There are no oily birds to clean in Pinellas County, but people are turning up anyway.
"People are coming in and sitting down on our couch and crying," said Simoneaux, the sanctuary's spokeswoman. "People are coming in furious, asking why we're not doing more. . . . Of course, people are furious at BP."
Two or three people are staffing the sanctuary these days, just to listen to those who need to vent. "We're counseling," she said. "They stay and they talk for an hour. This has been very time-consuming for us."
Larry Mastry, a lifelong fisherman who co-owns Mastry's Bait and Tackle in St. Petersburg, said the uncertainty of the spill — how much worse will it get? will the oil come here? — is causing enormous stress among local anglers, including him.
"It's almost like an approaching hurricane," he said. "It's that same feeling."

Detailed Description:
1) Induction Arm A: 4 cycles of R-ACVBP, 2 weeks interval. After the 3rd cycle, if PET 2+ (fixing), collection of peripheral blood stem cell progenitors will be organized at the time of hematological recovery under support with G-CSF.
The consolidation treatment will depend on results of PET evaluation after cycle 2 (PET2) and cycle 4 (PET4).
Consolidation 1A (in case of PET 2- PET 4 -):
- High-dose Methotrexate with folinic acid rescue; 2 cycles spaced out 14 days.
- Rituximab-Ifosfamide-Etoposide : 4 cycles spaced out 14 days
- Cytarabine sub-cutaneous, during 4 days; 2 cycles spaced out 14 days.
Consolidation 2 A (in case of PET 2+ PET4 -):
- 2 cycles high-dose Methotrexate with folinic acid rescue
- High dose with Z- BEAM conditioning regimen followed by autologous transplant.
- Salvage(in case of PET 4 +):
The patient will be treated with a salvage regimen, after a biopsy of the residual mass whenever possible.
2) Induction arm B: 4 cycles of R-CHOP, 2 weeks interval. After the 3rd cycle, if PET 2+ (fixing), collection of peripheral blood stem cell progenitors will be organized at the time of hematological recovery under support with G-CSF.
The consolidation treatment will depend on results of PET evaluation after cycle 2 (PET2) and cycle 4 (PET4).
Consolidation 1B(in case of PET 2- PET 4 -):
4 additional cycles of R-CHOP, 2-weeks interval
Consolidation 2 B(in case of PET 2+ PET 4 -):

Spice Mama Geri Halliwell and her 4 1/2-year-old daughter Bluebell Madonna were spotted out for an after school stroll in London yesterday (January 20). Check out those earmuffs!
The single mom is embarking on a new business venture, designing her own line of beach wear. She strips down to model the "Geri by Next" swimsuits in a new ad campaign.
"It's for real women of all shapes and sizes. Everything is mix and match, so you can choose the exact shapes and styles that suit you," Geri says. "This is a collection that makes you look good and feel fabulous."View Slideshow »»

Grew up in Texas. Away for 40 years. Spent almost 30 of those years in Los Angeles. Finally.....Back again.
Semi retired. I still like to work. I do travel now and then for business and pleasure. I work from my home office by referral only and make my own schedule.
Most mornings you can find me at the Y trying to get in shape. Seems to be a great way to start the day. Afternoons and evenings doing whatever I do. Weekends are for friends, live music, movies and anything else that sounds like fun.
You can find me at a live music venue, reading, fishing, going to a flea market or a movie. I like to take a trip with the top down on a pleasant day.
I want to get more fun out of life and I'm working on that. Please note that my idea of fun does not include weeks of e mails and phone calls. If we want to meet let's meet.
Reasonably well read and educated. Fond of just about anything that interests me and expands my horizons. I like to listen to Asleep at the Wheel as often as Elvis, Mozart or Miles Davis.
I Like to keep up with current affairs and will discuss almost anything. I'll take either side of free will versus determinism.
Not handsome. Not bad enough to send people screaming into the night. I really DO smile sometimes!
I am constantly amazed and amused by life's absurdities, coincidences, contradictions, passions and beauty. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Definitely not dead from the neck down . I want a woman who is interested in and capable of life's passions.
I'm in Cedar Park which is just north of Austin.
Those pictures are recent but don't reflect the 30 pounds I've lost the recently at the gym. I apologize for the selfies. When I'm with friends I'm usually the one taking the pictures.
If you have pictures they should be recent also.
If you don't bet you can't win.
Movies" Prometheus, Indiana Jones series, Lost in Translation, Ground Hog Day and Lincoln.
Shows" Big Bang Theory, Revolution, Defiance,Crossbones.
Music: Jazz, Classical, Folk, country.
Food: Bar B Q (This is Texas, after all!) Sushi, Chinese, Japanese, Thai and of course any kind of fish.

Opening the Black Box on Bank Efficiency in China: Does Economic Freedom Matter?
The paper provides, for the first time, empirical evidence on the impact of economic freedom on bank efficiency in a developing economy. We employ the Data Envelopment Analysis method to compute the efficiency of the Chinese banking sector during 2000--2008. The empirical findings indicate that the inefficiency of the Chinese banking sector stems largely from scale rather than pure technical. By examining different dimensions of economic freedom, we find that not all are equally regressive on bank efficiency. We find that the impact of business freedom to be positive, implying that higher (lower) freedom for entrepreneurs to start businesses increases (reduces) bank efficiency. Similarly, monetary freedom is positively related to bank efficiency levels, indicating the importance of a stable and reliable monetary policy to business environment. On the other hand, the impact of financial freedom is negative, implying that higher (lower) financial freedom reduces (increases) the efficiency of banks operating in the Chinese banking sector.

Many tennis players including Serena Williams love the jolt of espresso during tennis match. Nespresso makes it very easy. I am often asked, "Does Nespresso make Good Espresso?"

Style: 36985810 Color Code:
Super luxe vintage-inspired dropwaist mini dress featuring a sequin and beaded caged top and a crinkly swingy skirt. Slip included, with adjustable straps.
Free People
This one screams "a keeper"
I got the dress in the blackberry color. The actual thing is definitely more red than in the pictures and the color in general is more saturated and vibrant. It fits wonderfully and the style is impeccable. Cannot wait to wear it out!!
Bautiful dress
This dress id very pretty and very sexy. It is unique in its style, i've never seen anything like this before. It actually looks much better in person than in the pics. I ordered it in black. the dress has both sexy, vintage and classic look. The straps of the slip are adjustable which is good. The shell is gentle and beautiful, I dont think I'll need any jewelery with this dress. The only thing that might be a problem is the fit. It runs large, the skirt is just above my knees. Is has kind of a t-shirt dress fit, but it still looks amazing.
Beautiful details, fit may be tricky
This is a gorgeous dress. When I saw it in person, I freaked out by how much it just STANDS OUT. I have an hourglass shape, so anything that doesn't cinch at the waist or can be cinched makes me look boxy and bigger than I actually am. For that reason, it was not a flattering fit on me. However, if you are a huge fan of less shapely dresses (which I am, but cannot be with my body type), then this dress is a unique gem that you should not pass up at all. It is sooooooo vintage and I really wish it worked for me. Now it does fit pretty true to size to a teensy bit on the larger size. The bust has enough give so that even if you are larger busted, you won't have any problem with this dress. Beautiful item.

Kyle Boller gave the St. Louis Rams one frightening moment along with a little bit of relief.
Boller played better Thursday night in his second game filling in for Marc Bulger, completing a flurry of short passes during a 24-21 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The one problem: He didn't duck.
Boller got his helmet knocked off on a hit by linebacker Keith Rivers at the end of an 8-yard scramble, waiting too long to start his slide. Unfazed, Boller got to his feet, found his helmet and completed his next two passes, including a 3-yard shovel pass to running back Samkon Gado for a touchdown.
His too-late slide couldn't help but terrify the Rams, who lost Bulger to a broken pinkie finger on his passing hand before the last game and couldn't afford another quarterback setback. Bulger is hoping to be ready for the season opener Sept. 13 at Seattle.
Boller struggled as his replacement last week in a 20-13 loss to the Falcons, but seemed much more comfortable against the Bengals. He completed 14 of 20 for 96 yards, heading for the bench after the opening series of the third quarter.
Both teams were missing their starting quarterbacks, turning the game into a preview of how it might be if their injuries linger. The Bengals were reminded that they really need Carson Palmer back for their opener against Denver.
J.T. O'Sullivan was sacked three times, lost a fumble and had two passes batted away at the line. His best moment was an improvised underhand pass to running back Brian Leonard that went for 25 yards and set up a touchdown. O'Sullivan was 7 of 13 for 94 yards while playing into the third quarter.
With Palmer sidelined the last two games by a sprained left ankle, the offense has moved the ball in spurts but failed to get many points because of penalties and mistakes. O'Sullivan's fumble at the Cincinnati 20-yard line set up the Rams' second touchdown.
Running back Bernard Scott, a sixth-round draft pick from Abilene Christian, had a fumble that safety James Butler returned 73 yards for a touchdown. Butler also intercepted one of Jordan Palmer's passes in the third quarter and returned it 68 yards before the third-string quarterback tackled him.
The Bengals have lost five fumbles and thrown three interceptions in three preseason games.
"Obviously, you can't have turnovers like we had," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "That was still our Achilles' heel in the first half, as it has been for too much of this preseason. We can't allow that to continue."
Quan Cosby, an undrafted receiver from Texas, returned the Rams' first punt 49 yards for a touchdown, breaking through the front line of defenders into the clear. He ran past punter Donnie Jones to get to the end zone.
Jones also had a punt returned 44 yards by Tom Nelson in the third quarter.
NOTES: Rams K Josh Brown was wide left on a 50-yard field goal try at the end of the first half and wide again on a 51-yard attempt with 3:10 left in the game. ... Bengals S Chinedum Ndukwe suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter. ... Chris Henry caught a 54-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Palmer in the fourth quarter, beating rookie CB Bradley Fletcher down the left sideline. Henry has all three of the Bengals' touchdown catches in the preseason.

text: Bolt is RE and four digits. The bore has distinct rifling but is dark. I'm hoping it will clean up a little with some shooting. The front band/bayo lug has a six pointed star on the left side i think this may be a german made part that has been put on it at some time. The guy I bought it from said he had owned it since the 60's so I assume it is an interarms import from what I 've read as it is not import marked. I got him down to $125 from $150. Did I get a good deal? I have read that it is thought that the domestic made Mausers were not issued to colonial forces and this one being made a couple of years late insures it was not in Cuba or the Phillipines but it is still a relatively early made rifle still in original configuration. I will try to post some pics if I can find a digital camera. Any info /help/ history on this much appreciated. I'm curious if it is uncommon to find one of these early ones and if the mismatched bolt will cause significant value issues? I don't care (don't plan on parting with it) but would just like the facts as I truly have a fondness for old Mausers!

Linux performance basics
I want to write about Cassandra performance tuning, but first I need to cover some basics: how to use vmstat, iostat, and top to understand what part of your system is the bottleneck -- not just for Cassandra but for any system.
You will typically run vmstat with "vmstat sampling-period", e.g., "vmstat 5." The output looks like this:
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu----
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa
20 0 195540 32772 6952 576752 0 0 11 12 38 43 1 0 99 0
22 2 195536 35988 6680 575132 6 0 2952 14 959 16375 72 21 4 3
The first line is your total system average since boot; typically this will not be very useful, since you are interested in what is causing problems NOW. Then you will get one line per sample period; most of the output is self explanatory. The reason to start with vmstat is the "swap" section: si and so are swap in (memory read from disk) and swap out (memory written to disk).

The Illinois State Senate recently passed HB 4075, a bill that will hurt consumers and limit transportation options across the state. The bill protects taxi special interests working to stifle competition and protect their monopoly. HB 4075 damages consumer choice, safety, economic development, and the ability of municipalities to regulate transportation services in a way that meets their residents' needs.
This bill will soon reach the Governor's desk, and you should let him know that you support ridesharing and oppose HB 4075 by signing the petition to the right. Help ensure uberX has a permanent home in Illinois.
The provisions in HB 4075 that threaten Illinois consumers are:
- Caps on flexible supply: restricting drivers ability to get on the road means fewer cars when you need them. That means more stranded people, more DUIs, and less service to underserved communities that need rides the most.
- Full-time red tape for part-time drivers: ridesharing creates thousands of jobs for people in need of cash to pay their bills. This bill destroys jobs by requiring even part-time drivers who occasionally work more to get a professional chauffeurs license.
- Higher costs: applying old insurance models to rideshare drivers that already have nearly 3X the level of insurance as taxis is a maneuver by taxi companies intended to drive costs up for consumers, and protect the taxi monopoly that costs us all dearly.
I am writing to ask you to veto HB 4075.
Ridesharing lowers prices and provides better service for consumers. It creates thousands of new jobs for drivers, helping drive economic growth in Illinois.
I use uberX often because it is safe, reliable and affordable. Ridesharing is also creating new jobs and giving all types of individuals – veterans, teachers, retirees – a new source of income.
Protecting taxi monopolies that drive up costs for consumers and stifle our economy is not what you were elected to do.
Ridesharing has been embraced by cities throughout the world and is here to stay.
You face an important decision. On the one hand is a monopoly fiercely fighting and lying to shield itself from competition and innovation. On the other hand are hundreds of thousands of Illinois residents who are using and benefiting from a ridesharing technology they love.
I urge you to make the right choice for the people of Illinois - Veto HB 4075.

Carve has published HONEST FICTION online since 2000 and hosts the annual Raymond Carver Short Story Contest. Print and digital quarterly issues feature poetry, nonfiction, interviews, illustrations, and more. While formally based in Dallas, Texas, the staff and volunteers who help the magazine thrive are from all over the world.
Carve is a member of CLMP and attends the annual AWP conference.
Carve seeks to publish outstanding literature and to promote the writers we publish, helping both new, emerging, and established authors reach a wider literary audience. This is achieved through sharing their stories across a variety of publication mediums: online, print, e-readers, and more.
In addition, we take special pride in our editorial process. While we cannot send a unique response to every submission, we certainly try. We offer notes and critiques on stories that we feel are nearly aligned with our vision while noting that ultimately selections are subjective and varied.
The magazine is named in honor of Raymond Carver, short story artist and master of the "minimalist" form, though his later works espoused a longer, more detailed style. We admire this dyad, as we strive to publish fiction that is both concise and generous.
Above all, Carve, like its namesake, is honest fiction.

"My fiancée actually picked this design for our save the dates! I wasn't sold on it at first, but it was his favorite, and after we personalized it and made it look exactly how we wanted it to, I started to love it. Once they arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality and how cute they turned out! I'm definitely glad we chose this design, and that we were able to do some things to make it our own. We will absolutely be returning to personalize and purchase formal invitations!"
"The design was so easy and fun to create. It allowed me to upload the image I wanted and fit it to the design. Lots of cute design options and color schemes. Arrived in time and look great!"
"This card was above and beyond my expectations. The print, the paper quality, the customer service was superb! We added a personalized photo and saying. It was a little long for the example, but I worked with an amazing customer service representative named McKensie. She was awesome and without her these save the dates would not have been so wonderful and personalized to our wedding."
"This Save the Date turned out great! The photo quality was awesome, and Wedding Card Divas had my order to me 4 days before my expected delivery date!"
"We just received our cards yesterday. We wanted something simple, elegant, and functional--these fit the criteria! Love, love, love them and can't wait to send them out to friends and family. We chose the coral color and it's a pretty true coral. The paper quality is great as well."

All this time, we've been selling our Legislature short. It's myopic to accuse that body —the Republican-ruled House of Representatives in particular — of being ideologically driven simply because it voted to refuse federal funds to expand Medicaid and ease the way for the introduction of the Affordable Care Act.
It first appeared that our GOP state reps were so worried about passing legislation that might burnish Barack Obama's image, they would rather let the free money go to other states. Besides, Florida already has a robust network of emergency rooms to handle the uninsured — and as we all know, the money to operate them comes from some secret source we don't care about.
We were so wrong. It has recently come to light that the House's motives were much more humanitarian. They blocked Obamacare not because it would help the uninsured, but because it would hurt them. There's no way that potential premiums under the ACA could ever match the $8.34-per-month for individual, $30-per-month for family rates that our representatives themselves are paying for their comprehensive state-provided health care plans.
When you look at it this way, it's easy to see why the $100 or more per month that a lesser mortal might have to pay after purchasing insurance from the health care exchange might appear extortionate. It's to spare the uninsured citizens of Florida this kind of highway robbery that the House stepped in to block it. In fact, Gov. Scott should be thanked, not vilified, for attempting to keep the ACA navigators out of local state health department clinics, where they would have free rein to work their wiles. That some Democrat-controlled counties are defying him on this point just shows you to what lengths Obama supporters are willing to go to foist their socialistic schemes on an unsuspecting public.
I realize that the legislature's moves smack of the dreaded nanny state. After all, there's a thin line between protecting the populace from the depredations of affordable health care and, say, making texting while driving a primary offense. But this is way too serious to ignore.
While our legislators don't credit us with the intelligence to make our own health care choices, they do hold us in enough esteem to ask us to pay the lion's share of their own health plan.
It's only right. After all, we're their employer.

Tag Team Options Trade: KLIC
Jill Malandrino and Skip Rashcke of Options Profits team up to give you the fundamental and technical case for a trade in Kulicke & Soffa (KLIC), as well as the options strategy.
Jill: One of my key themes for 2013 has been the better-than-expected capex spend and how the tech space will benefit from that, particularly semiconductors and equipment manufacturers. Kulicke & Soffa (KLIC) is a global leader in the design and manufacturing of semiconductor assembly equipment, operating in two industries, equipment and expendable Tools.
Kulicke & Soffa operates in a very cyclical industry based on the capacity requirements and capital expenditure decisions of the semiconductor manufacturers. These decisions are mainly driven by two factors: 1) semiconductor demand; and 2) replacement orders. After a slight decrease in semiconductor demand in 2012 due to a weak global economy, growth is expected to resume in 2013 driven by mobile devices.
There is very low competition in the space, and the duopoly industry structure is working well as both companies are growing and profitable. KLIC is not a part of a capital-intensive business but rather a research-and-development-led industry. The company's property, plant and equipment, capex and depreciation are extremely low, while boasting high margins during cycle booms. KLIC also boasts a cash-rich balance sheet and has no debt. Besides using cash to make acquisitions, there has also been speculation around share buybacks.
After a 15% drop in share price after the first-quarter 2013 results and lower-than-expected second-quarter forecast, now appears to be a good time to enter a long position to take advantage of growth in the second half of 2013 and the next several years (not to mention it's been holding the 200-day moving average since December). Let's turn it over to Skip for his take.
Skip: As Jill menitoned. KLIC makes the equipment and tools used to make semiconductors, and that can create a challenge and an opportunity for management. Due to excellent management, KLIC has no debt and net cash of $6.58 per share, according to the numbers for KLIC found on Yahoo! Finance, and it trades at a forward P/E ratio of just 7x. The stock has a rather smallish float of only 74 million shares. That fact alone will add to any stock's volatility, as a small float invites chaos in both price directions.
Technically, KLIC's chart shows that it has traded between $8 and $13 for the past two years. Less than two months ago, KLIC attempted to break out over $13, but it then ran into sellers as management guided analysts' revenue numbers lower as per the next quarter.
KLIC options vols are trading in the low 30s which is a very fair offered level, given the 1.44 current beta for KLIC. The options are liquid, and their bid/ask markets tight so as to offer good options execution.
The trade tactic I like now for KLIC is the synthetic call expiring in October. That synthetic position (long stock and long a married put) is trading around $1.10. This tactic controls risk 100% yet is open-ended (not hedged) as per the upside potential for the underlying stock. Thus, the synthetic call acts exactly as does the October 11 call does in all respects.
Trades: Buy 300 KLIC shares for $11.00 and buy to open 3 KLIC October 11 puts for $1.10.
The total risk for the trade is $1.10 per synthetic call. As always, we will monitor the trade on this site in the comments section below.

Volunteers at Operation Christmas Child's depot in Melksham heard first-hand just how important their work this year could be.
The team, working to pack and load this week's supply of shoeboxes, was joined by 25-year-old Elena Alice Nihut, who told how she received a shoebox as a child growing up in post-revolution Romania.
She said: "I was seven when I received my first shoebox. It was a really, really cold winter, with lots of snow, and it was my last day at school before the winter holidays.
"I had lost my gloves and I was really upset, because my mum wouldn't let me go outside to play with all the other children.
"We were given the boxes from our church and I was amazed to see there were new gloves in the box."
After receiving gift boxes from the UK as a child, Miss Nihut continued to work with her church in Craiova, south Romania, to distribute boxes to needy children.
After training as a nurse, she came to the UK last year and now works in a care home in Sutton Veny, near Warminster.
She still helps with the annual Samaritan's Purse appeal, giving up her time to help load the boxes at the Bowerhill depot.
She said: "For a child, it's more than they can imagine. I always remember the joy I had and the look on the faces of the children when we give them the boxes. It made me want to come here and help.
"To most people, it's just a small box for them, but it makes the whole Christmas for a child."
Shoeboxes can still be donated, with the final shipment due off today. Wrapped boxes can be handed in at the Wiltshire Times office in Duke Street, Trowbridge, or at other drop-off points across west Wiltshire.

Here is a fine example of the dangers of politicians writing seemingly innocuous op-eds for newspapers.
Ahead of a trip to Dublin in 2006, George Osborne used an article in The Times to pay homage to the Irish boom. The opening paragraph about Ireland's "shining example" to economic policymakers is a classic:
A generation ago, the very idea that a British politician would go to Ireland to see how to run an economy would have been laughable. The Irish Republic was seen as Britain's poor and troubled country cousin, a rural backwater on the edge of Europe. Today things are different. Ireland stands as a shining example of the art of the possible in long-term economic policymaking, and that is why I am in Dublin: to listen and to learn.
The conclusion is almost as cringeworthy:
The new global economy poses real long-term challenges to Britain, but also real opportunities for us to prosper and succeed. In Ireland they understand this.
They have freed their markets, developed the skills of their workforce, encouraged enterprise and innovation and created a dynamic economy. They have much to teach us, if only we are willing to learn.
To be fair to Osborne, many of his arguments are still valid even after the crash.
A well educated workforce, top notch R&D investment, and competitive tax rates to encourage investment are all as important now as they were during the boom years.
But there is not a word of caution about potential imbalanaces in the economy. No mention of the racy property market, reckless lending, or his views on the dangers to Ireland from having joined the Euro. Read more
