Secretary of State Ritchie encourages voters to register to vote at the Minnesota State Fair
St. Paul, MN—Secretary of State Mark Ritchie has invited Minnesotans who are attending the Minnesota State Fair to stop by the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State's booth in the Education Building to check their voter registration status and register right at the fair.
Voters need to pre-register to vote by Oct. 16 to be on their polling place roster on Election Day.
"Voter pre-registration is important," said Secretary of State Ritchie. "Our office's outreach staff will be at the fair every day helping voters to register and get ready to vote on Nov. 6."
Minnesotans will still be able to register to vote on Election Day, just like they have for over the past 40 years, but pre-registering will save voters time at the polling place and pre-registered voters do not need to bring additional information with them when they go to vote. Voters can find additional registration information at www.mnvotes.org.
Visitors to the Office's state fair booth will be able to check on their voter registration status, register to vote, look up where their polling place is located after redistricting and apply for an absentee ballot. It will also be an opportunity to pick up a pocket edition Blue Book, and Vote in Honor of a Veteran lapel pin, and practice casting a ballot by voting for their favorite Minnesota fair food, pro sports team, state park and best lake.
Back again this year due to popular demand will be "Civics Saturday" on both Saturday, Aug. 25 and Saturday Sept. 1, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. These events will celebrate youth involvement in democracy by introducing students, teachers, and parents to the many civic focused resources, contests, and organizations that are available throughout our state.
The Office outreach staff is also excited to be a part of Military Appreciation Day at the Fair on Tuesday, Aug. 28.
The State Fair Booth for the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State is located in the Education Building at 1372 Cosgrove Street. The booth will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Thursday, August 24 through Monday, Sept. 3. Further information on elections and voter outreach is available at: www.mnvotes.org.
"I encourage eligible Minnesota voters who need to register to vote to do so at the State Fair. It only takes a couple of minutes, and they will be ready to go." said Secretary of State Mark Richie. "Then, I hope to see them turnout at the polls as a part of Democracy's big get-together—Election Day, Nov. 6."

Time series and cross-section parameter stability in the market model: the implications for event studies
This paper investigates the time series and cross-section stability of parameter estimates from the single-index market model, using a UK data set relating to the security prices of parent companies, divesting in the form of a management buyout. A battery of tests of structural stability are undertaken, and we find that instability exists in the vast majority of the fitted models, both in relation to changes in the estimation period, and also to changes in the cross-section sample of firms included in this analysis. The implications of instability for the event study method are clearly illustrated by the construction of recursive cumulative abnormal return series. Our results suggest that when the market model is used within the event study framework, the quantitative results are extremely sensitive to the chosen estimation period and cross-section sample of firms. We suggest that if event studies continue to be pursued in the applied finance literature, it is essential that tests of parameter stability are incorporated into this framework. In addition, 'sensitivity analysis', that is, changes to the estimation period and cross-section sample employed, should also be investigated, and conclusions should be limited to interpreting the patterns of the cumulative abnormal returns.

Bill Nelson, eye on 2012, flips position on earmark ban
Sen. Bill Nelson was one of seven Democrats who voted today in favor of a ban on earmarks, a reversal of his position that not all earmarks are bad and a sign he's prepping for the 2012 re-election campaign.
It was symbolic only; the amendment failed with 56 votes against and 39 in favor. Republican Sen. George LeMieux voted for the ban. (More here)
Asked about the change, Nelson spokesman Dan McLaughlin said, "These are unusual (economic) times. ... Going forward Sen. Nelson will keep looking for ways to cut spending, while also fighting to make sure Florida gets its fair share of federal funding for things like ports, military bases and major projects that bring new jobs."

Shakib Al Hasan performed with bat and ball to hand Bangladesh a comfortable 34 run win over Zimbabwe and ensure a drawn Twenty 20 series in Bulawayo on Sunday.
Bangladesh's victory in the second international levelled the series at 1-1 after Zimbabwe had won the opening match by six runs on Saturday.
Shakib scored 40 runs after Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat in a vital 82-run second wicket partnership with opener Tamim Iqbal, who top scored with 43.
Shakib's 40 runs came in just 28 balls and set the platform for the win, even though Bangladesh did collapse towards the end of the innings and finish on 168 for seven at a rate of 8.4 runs to the over.
He then returned figures of 4-22 as he took vital wickets at key junctures of Zimbabwe's response, which fell well short of the target despite good batting conditions at the Queens Sports Club.
Zimbabwe were always struggling after losing opener Hamilton Masakadza in their second over and with the score on just five. Masakadza had scored a match winning 59 on Saturday.
Vusi Sibanda, with some lusty blows, and captain Brendan Taylor gave the sparse home crowd a glimmer of hope in a 40-run second wicket partnership but after Taylor went with the score on 45, wickets tumbled regularly with Shakib's effort matched by the economy of Abdur Razzak.
Zimbabwe fell well behind in the run chase by the final five overs that the game fizzled out to an inevitable conclusion.
The 1-1 tie in the T20 series followed the same result in the two-test series. But Zimbabwe won the ODI series 2-1.

Former Derry player Zemba returns to coach girls basketball team
The Derry girls basketball program hasn't had a winning season since the 2007-08 campaign, which necessitated a change in coaching.
The Trojans will be led by first-year head coach Rich Zemba, who has come back to his alma mater, will help restore the prominence to the Derry girls basketball program.
Zemba, who graduated from Derry in 1986 and was a three-year varsity basketball player for the legendary Harry Miller, openly admits he doesn't have much coaching experience at the varsity level.
"I'm not trying to look back. I know I have a lot of athletes on my team. I have a bunch of players who are two- and three-sport athletes," Zemba said. "I'm just trying to change the attitudes of the girls. I'm not saying anything wrong was going before. But I want to the girls to just have fun out there."
Zemba, who was part of the 1986 state champion volleyball team, has coached the middle school girls team the past two seasons and has been involved with the travel and recreation program in the Derry Area School District for the past six years.
The Trojans, who finished last season 5-17 overall and 2-10 in Section 3-AAA, will be led by senior forward Courtney Meyer, who averaged close to 10 points last season, and junior guard Morgan Roble.
"I think the girls came out to the court and feared to make any mistakes," Zemba said. "There are times they couldn't get the ball over half court last year. I just want them to go out and have some fun playing basketball. It's a team sport."
Zemba expects to see Meyer increase her points per game to the mid-teens Roble to lead the team again with around five assists per game.
Derry (1-1) will not have the services of three crucial starters from a year ago due to graduation. Forward Jess Harshell and guards Stephanie Joe and Cara Krinock will be replaced this season by sophomore forwards Madison DeLuca and Katerina Hamerski and senior Nichole Klapehar.
Klapehar, who also plays soccer, decided to pick up a basketball this season after hearing Zemba was going to be the coach. First off the bench for the Trojans will be Courtney Meyer's twin sister, Kaitlyn, and junior forward Ashley McGraw.
"We are pretty quick team so we would like to get out on the fast break," Zemba said. "(On defense), we are more of a zone-type of team. We didn't do much full-court press in the past, but we need to switch it up."
When it comes to how the Trojans will fare in section play this year, Zemba remains optimistic that his team could surprise and possibly knock off one of the top four teams in Section 3-AAA.
"There are seven teams in our section. Going into the season, I told the team our goal is to finish fourth in the section," Zemba said. "I know it's a rebuilding year, but we have some athleticism on our team.
"We need to somehow or some way knock off one of the top four teams and get in the fourth spot."
Derry has started to get a read on how things might shape up in the section after playing and seeing two other members of Section 3-AAA during the Southmoreland Tournament.
Courtney Meyer led the Trojans with 22 points in a 38-13 win over Southmoreland last Saturday.
The Trojans also got a good test to open their season by facing a talented Elizabeth Forward team last Friday. Derry lost to Elizabeth Forward, 62-13.
They will get an early test in section play when they go on the road to face Uniontown, last year's section champions, on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

When Prime Minister Shinzo Abe travels to Washington this week for a summit with U.S. President Barack Obama, his first job may be to convince the president he's not a rightwing fanatic seeking confrontation in East Asia, but rather a calm partner who can work with the Americans to maintain peace and stability in the region.
Such fears partially stem from his last stint as prime minister.
In March 2007, Abe created an uproar by questioning the extent of the wartime Imperial Japanese Army's involvement in recruiting sex slaves, known euphemistically in Japan as the "comfort women." His comments sparked a war of words between rightwing politicians in Japan and human rights groups in the U.S. and South Korea.
By the time he visited Washington the following month, Abe was under great pressure to revise his statement. Backtracking, he told U.S. lawmakers that he felt sympathy toward the comfort women and that Japan would stand by an official apology it issued in 1993.
But in July 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution calling on Japan to formally apologize and accept historical responsibility for the Imperial army's coercion of young women and girls into sexual slavery.
Hence, Abe's return to power late last year was greeted with alarm by some U.S. media and human rights groups, who point out that he and most of his Cabinet are members of rightwing, nationalist groups espousing agendas that often deny Japan's wartime atrocities.
The rising Sino-Japanese tensions over the Senkaku Islands and the ongoing row between Tokyo and Seoul over the Takeshima islets have only added to their worries about Japan's leadership.
In response, some Washington think tanks and U.S. experts on Japan, concerned about the impact of criticism on the two nations' security treaty, have spent the past few weeks promoting the view that Abe is not a rightwing fanatic seeking confrontation, but rather an experienced politician who is far more careful now than he was in 2007.
Overcoming perceptions, real or imagined, in Washington will be of paramount importance to Abe because of the full summit agenda both leaders face. For Japan, clearly, security issues — especially those concerning China and North Korea, are a priority.
"I think (the upcoming summit) will have a bit different meaning than the usual Japan-U.S summits in terms of urgency and importance," said Fumiaki Kubo, a political science professor at the University of Tokyo.
"While Sino-Japanese relations went sour and the U.S.-China relationship is becoming more tense, I also think the security alliance between Japan and the U.S. is being tested," Kubo said.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a joint news conference with Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida last month, warned China that the U.S. opposed any unilateral action to weaken Japan's control over the Senkakus.
Kubo said Clinton's warning would be stronger if Abe got a more solid statement from Obama.
However, with John Kerry replacing Clinton as secretary of state, Abe will first need to seek clarification on how U.S. policy toward China may shift. With Chuck Hagel's nomination as secretary of defense held up because of Republican opposition, Abe arrives in Washington at a time when Obama's foreign policy team is in transition — which could make it difficult to get a bold statement on China.
Two areas Obama is likely to strongly press Abe on are relocating U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma and Japan's participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, a U.S.-led free-trade framework.
Given strong Okinawan opposition to relocating Futenma within the prefecture, however, no progress is expected on the base issue.
The Obama administration also is aware that Abe faces opposition within his Liberal Democratic Party to the TPP and must proceed slowly.
But the TPP faces problems in the U.S. as well, where a broad coalition of labor unions, automakers, trade groups, local politicians and congressional representatives oppose the accord.
Paul Sracic, professor of political science at Youngstown State University in Ohio and a TPP supporter, said most public criticism comes from U.S. politicians who object to its secrecy. NGOs and congressional leaders have pushed the Obama administration to release the 600-page negotiating text, which is available to hundreds of corporate lobbyists.
"The TPP in general is almost never discussed by the U.S. media," Sracic said. "There are groups like farming organizations and meat producers who are strong advocates for it. But if you did a poll about TPP, I'd be shocked if even a quarter of respondents knew what those three letters stand for."
Sracic added that including Japan in the negotiations could create political problems for Obama and the Democrats.
"Should TPP negotiations expand to include Japan, opposition would be much more pronounced, particularly from Democratic senators from auto-manufacturing states." he said. "If Obama was to submit the TPP, particularly with Japan as a member, to Congress, most of his support would likely come from Republicans."
Summits offer leaders a chance to tackle a broad range of strategic and economically important issues. But they also touch on issues of personal importance to the leaders.
Abe is likely to seek Obama's support for pressuring North Korea to account for Japanese citizens abducted by the hermit nation in the 1970s and '80s.
But he, in turn, might find himself pressed on a different kind of abduction issue — that of children born to an American parent who were taken, often in defiance of U.S. law, by their Japanese parent back to Japan.
Abe plans to tell Obama that Japan will join the Hague Convention on cross-border parental abductions. But left-behind U.S. parents say that promise is now two years old and does nothing to allay their urgent concerns.
On Feb. 13, BACHome, a group of left-behind American fathers, wrote to Abe, seeking his support for short-term measures to allow access to U.S. children taken to Japan by estranged Japanese spouses.
"Our children have been, in most cases, completely cut off from their home country just like the Japanese nationals taken by the North Koreans between 1977 and 1983," the letter said. "We expect immediate action to aid and complete the safe return to the United States all American children abducted to Japan, and that you will work to provide all American children abducted within Japan immediate and unfettered access to their U.S. parent."
Despite the letter, as well as past support from Kerry, who was directly involved with the issue as a U.S. senator, BACHome spokesman Paul Toland is not optimistic the summit will produce a solution without Kerry leaning on Obama.
"Japan has offered no meaningful resolution to the nearly 400 cases abducted from the United States to Japan since 1994, and the U.S. has not imposed any serious consequences on Japan as a result," Toland said. "If Kerry chooses to make this a major issue with Japan, it could make a difference."

April 18, 2013
By Oliver Patton
A coalition of U.S. and Canadian trucking interests are close to releasing a best-practices manual for fatigue management.
The North American Fatigue Management Program should be posted on the web early next month, according to several sources.
The program will offer guidelines and training materials for commercial carriers to use in implementing a fatigue management program, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said in an email.
It will include information on recognizing fatigue, on screening and treatment for sleep disorders, and on driver health and wellness, the agency said.
On the website, the program will be broken down into 10 modules in both PowerPoint and interactive audio, said Roger Clarke, a Canadian safety expert who has been working on the fatigue program for years.
"We have also completed an implementation manual for carriers and a Return on Investment calculator that will provide carriers with guidance on how to implement this program and some assistance in determining the cost/benefit of doing so," Clarke said in an email.
Clarke, a management consultant who formerly was executive director of Vehicle Safety and Carrier Services for Alberta, said he expects the website to launch by mid-June.
Participating in the years-long effort to develop the program are FMCSA, Transport Canada, various Canadian transportation safety groups including the Canadian Trucking Alliance, and the American Transportation Research Institute.
In earlier remarks, Clarke said that pilot tests of the program, which included volunteer drivers from Challenger Motor Freight, Con-Way Express and J.B. Hunt, showed that the program can improve drivers' awareness of good sleep practices, reduce fatigue and reduce the incidence of near-accidents, he said.
Truck safety experts say fatigue management can help improve safety, and a number of U.S. fleets have incorporated fatigue management principles into their daily operations.
FMCSA views fatigue management as a potentially valuable supplement to hours-of-service rules, but some trucking companies believe it should be one of a portfolio of safety tools that eventually could provide an alternative way to comply with safety requirements.
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

CeramTec North America Corp. (CTNA) has confirmed that its significant realignment and restructuring during the last nine months has resulted in increased sales and profitability. "I am very pleased to report that CTNA's consolidated figures are achieving our aggressive budget for both sales and EBT (profits) in the first quarter of 2003," said Walt Dollman, president and chief executive officer. "This strength is welcome news for the company as the economy has been generally mediocre in many of the markets served by our products." Dollman attributes CTNA's first quarter sales and profit increase to several factors, including the company's continuing "progress through change" program. "Our company initiated substantial changes in North American operations over the past year that included restructuring our labor force, strengthening and realigning our sales offerings, consolidating facilities, increasing investment, and enhancing responsiveness," Dollman said. "I am pleased with the improving state of business and in the growing progressive synergy throughout CeramTec North America."

Alchemist Theatre Receives Cease-And-Desist Letter for Taking Liberties with Mamet's OLEANNA
TUTS and their controversial changes to HANDS ON A HARDBODY isn't the only production in the news this week in trouble for violating its licensing agreement.
Milwaukee's Alchemist Theatre was forced to cancel its production of David Mamet's Oleanna after only one performance. According to the Journal Sentinel, the theatre received a cease-and-desist letter from Mamet's representatives telling them to stop the production because they cast a male actor in the play's lead female role.
David Mamet's Oleanna is a gripping account of a power struggle between a male university professor and one of his female students. This incendiary play is regarded as one of the most provocative dramas of our time, dividing audiences into heated debate by compelling them to side with either character. In Alchemist's production of Oleanna, Ben Parman played Carol, while David Sapiro played John.
Click here to read the full article.
Erica Case and Aaron Kopec, owners of Alchemist Theatre, stated, "We excitedly brought this story to the stage because even though it was written years ago, the unfortunate story that it tells is still relevant today. We auditioned for this show looking for the best talent, not looking for a gender. When Ben Parman auditioned we saw the reality that this relationship, which is more about power, is not gender-specific but gender-neutral. We stayed true to each of David Mamet's powerful words and did not change the character of Carol but allowed the reality of gender and relationship fluidity to add to the impact of the story. We are so very proud of the result, of both Ben and David Sapiro's talent, and Erin Eggers' direction."
Alchemist openned Oleanna this past Thursday and recieved the cease-and-desist letter the following day as the reviews started coming in. Mamet and his representatives have long had a history of being very protective over his plays.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Six Shooter Southwestern Turkey Burger
The challenge was to make a healthy burger out of lean ground turkey breast that is juicy and flavorful. The results speak for themselves.
Sweet Corn Relish
1 ear yellow sweet corn
1 tablespoon melted butter
1-tablespoon corn oil
2 roma tomatoes chopped
½ tablespoon chopped jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro leaves
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1-tablespoon fresh lime juice
1-tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Cilantro Pesto Spread
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1 garlic clove
6 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1-cup sour cream
2-½ lbs. Ground turkey breast
6 chopped chipotle peppers
3 tablespoons adobo (comes in same can as chipotle peppers)
1/3-cup fresh chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon Salt
1-tablespoon fresh ground pepper
1-teaspoon ground cumin
1 medium yellow onion grated
1-tablespoon fresh chopped garlic
2 eggs
6 slices of jalapeno jack cheese cut thick
6 whole wheat Kaiser rolls
Vegetable oil to lubricate the grate of the grill
To make sweet corn relish heat grill to 450 degrees, and melt butter. Combine melted butter with 1 tablespoon of corn oil and brush the ear of sweet corn on all sides with the mixture. Place corn on grill for 20 minutes rotating ¼ of a turn every 5 minutes. Remove corn from grill and let rest for 10 minutes. After resting cut corn off of cob and place in bowl with 2 roma tomatoes chopped, ½ tablespoon chopped jalapeno pepper, 2 tablespoons chopped red onion, ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro leaves, ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, 1-tablespoon fresh lime juice, 1-tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and mix together well. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until you are ready to put sandwich together To make cilantro pesto spread place cilantro, garlic salt and pepper in food processor begin pulsing, while pulsing drizzle in olive oil. Once olive oil is fully incorporated stop food processor, scrape the sides then add 1 cup of sour cream and pulse together. Move to a bowl and place in refrigerator until you are ready to put sandwich together. To make burgers combine in a bowl 2 ½ lbs. Ground turkey breast, 6 chopped chipotle peppers, 3 tablespoons adobo, 1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon Salt, 1 tablespoon fresh ground pepper, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 medium yellow onion grated, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped garlic and 2 eggs. Mix ingredients together and form six patties equal in size. Place small thumbprint in top and bottom of each burger to prevent burgers from swelling up. To cook burgers preheat gas grill to 450 degrees then brush grill rack with oil to prevent burgers from sticking and place burgers on grill, cook for 6 minutes and then turn burgers to other side and cook for 4 more minutes at 450 degrees. Now place one slice of jalapeno jack cheese on top of each burger and cook for 2 more minutes. Take burgers off grill and put aside on a plate to rest for 10 minutes. While burgers are resting place Kaisers on grill face down for 60 seconds to toast. Take buns off grill. To build the burgers take both sides of the Kaiser and evenly spread about a ½ tablespoon of the cilantro pesto spread on each half of the Kaiser. Place a burger on the bottom half of each kaiser; place a heaping tablespoon of the sweet corn relish on top of each burger. Place the tops of the kaisers on the burger, slice the sandwiches in half and enjoy.
This burger is the perfect way to end a hot summer day. If you want to make it even healthier use low fat or fat free sour cream for the cilantro pesto spread and use just the egg whites and not the yolks in the burger.

The size of the deficit. The amount by which the economy will contract this year. The boost to growth from tax and spending measures. Much remains unknown about Alistair Darling's budget today. But one thing is certain: the speech will bear little resemblance to that delivered by Gordon Brown just over two years ago.
Britain's longest-serving chancellor since Gladstone delivered his 11th and valedictory budget on the spring equinox in March 2007. Strains had started to appear in the US housing market, with activity softening and prices starting to sag. Yet in the UK, life was good and Brown saw more than green shoots: he saw an economic blooming as a result of his prudent tilling. Property was hot, the City was buoyant and the mania for private equity was in full swing. The seizure in the markets caused by the realisation that banks were awash with worthless sub-prime mortgage debt was four months away.
It did not appear to cross the chancellor's mind that the period of uninterrupted growth Britain had experienced since leaving the Exchange Rate Mechanism 15 years earlier was about to come to a shuddering halt. The speech boasted of how well the economy had performed under Labour, how it was leaving the developed world standing, and how the public finances were, in contrast to their mismanagement under the Conservatives, in tip-top shape.
"I can report the British economy is today growing faster than all the other G7 economies - growth stronger this year than the euro area, stronger than Japan and stronger even than America," Brown trumpeted. "And that after 10 years of sustained growth, Britain's growth will continue into its 59th quarter ... and then into its 60th and 61st quarter and beyond."
The Greeks had a word for it: hubris. It means overweening pride or arrogance, and it was evident throughout the speech, to the teasing coda in which he announced that the abolition of the 10p tax rate - a slow timebomb that exploded a year later - meant he could afford to cut the basic rate of income tax to 20p, its lowest in 75 years.
Indeed, the entire speech could be summed up in one eleven-word sentence: "And we will never return to the old boom and bust."
Brown's excuse today is that the economy has been knocked off course by a global catastrophe that nobody could have predicted two years ago. Even so, those 11 words will be rammed back down the prime minister's throat by the Tories today when Darling is forced to announce the economy will suffer its biggest contraction this year since 1945.
As will his predictions for inflation, growth, investment and jobs. "Our forecast and the consensus of independent forecasts agree that looking ahead to 2008 and 2009, inflation will also be on target. Since 1997, inflation has averaged 1.5%, half that of the previous decade ... It is Britain's best inflation performance for a century." Inflation, as measured by the consumer prices index, peaked at 5% last year, three percentage points above the government's 2% target. Today consumer price inflation that includes housing costs averages 0.6% in the eurozone; in the UK it is 2.9%.
As with inflation, so with growth. Brown predicted the economy would expand by between 2.5% and 3% in 2008. As the economy slowed in response to the credit crunch, it expanded by 0.7%. He forecast that GDP would increase by another 2.5% to 3% this year as well. Darling will forecast a contraction of at least 3%.
Brown also said the UK would meet both the government's fiscal rules. The first is that government borrowing and current spending should be matched by tax revenues. The second is the sustainable investment rule: to keep national debt below 40% of GDP. "Just as our monetary discipline is the foundation of our economic strength, our fiscal discipline is the foundation of the strength of Britain's finances."
Darling made it clear in last November's pre-budget report that both rules would be spectacularly broken as a result of the recession and the measures announced to put a floor under the economy. Brown had said there would be a surplus on the current budget in the 2009-10 financial year of £6bn, increasing to £9bn in 2010-11 and £13bn in 2011-12. The revised figures last November were for deficits of £78bn, £73bn and £54bn. Today's figures will be worse. Probably a lot worse.

Gail later competed for the Knockouts Championship against Maria Kanellis:
And that's the week in a nutshell! Thoughts:
The big news from yesterday surrounded the release of Tough Enough winner Sara Lee. Sara Lee was the female winner of last year's competition, with current NXT star Mandy Rose as the runner up. Despite being known for her inability to stop smiling, Sara Lee surprisingly turned heel when she debuted for NXT in January; stating that she was done playing nice and wanted to win matches. She didn't compete much during her time in NXT, though I and many others were waiting for her to be promoted. The news of Sara Lee's release also came with some good news: she is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Wesley Blake.
What made Bound For Glory epic was the Hall of Fame induction for Gail Kim, which featured former KOs Christy Hemme, Taryn Terrell, and Awesome Kong returning to TNA for that evening to induct Gail. Taryn and Kong were Gail's two greatest rivals in TNA, while Christy began her decade long TNA run as a competitor before transitioning into a ring announcer. Christy even served as a ring announcer during the KO Title contest between Gail and Maria.
Happy birthday to former WWE Women's Champion Candice Michelle, who turned 38 this past Friday! Candice's WWE career began as part of the Diva Search in 2004, and within a year, she became a villainess in her first angle as part of the Vince's Devils trio with Torrie Wilson and Victoria. Candice was pushed as an improving wrestler in 2007, leading to her Women's Championship victory. After losing the title to Beth Phoenix, Candice fractured her clavicle during a title rematch, and had been plagued with injuries up to her release in 2009. Candice appeared on WWE Network's Table For 3 in 2016 with Molly Holly and Michelle McCool; an appearance she filmed in Dallas during WrestleMania Weekend. I would love to see Candice back in wrestling just once, especially in her role as a seductive villainess.
I have to post this screen capture of Reby Sky at Bound For Glory last night. Before taking her place alongside the Hardys, Reby performed a version of the Hardys current theme on a piano in front of the crowd in attendance, an absolutely epic moment. This came after Reby's first singles match on the main Impact Wrestling program, so it was a terrific week for the First Lady of the Hardy brand. Though she is a babyface once again, Reby still has the look of a villainess, especially with her darker look in recent weeks. I hope to see Reby compete more often, maybe pursue the Knockouts Championship. It would also be epic if Reby returns to Shine Wrestling or Queens of Combat, preferably as a villainess.
A new week begins tonight, with Charlotte and Sasha Banks competing for the Knockouts Championship! As for the Knockouts, it's the fallout from BFG!

"When I came here, we didn't have an operating room," says Dr. Christophe Milien, OB-GYN and director of LasCahobas Health Center in Central Haiti. In the above video, he describes a pivotal moment in his work -- having a patient suffering from birthing complications bleed to death during transport to a medical facility with a functinal operating room.
"Seconds matter, minutes matter," adds Dr. David Walton, PIH's Senior Advisor for Health and Medical Infrastructure. Thanks to Milien's efforts, LasCahobas now has the capacity to perform life-saving surgeries, including cesarean sections. As word spread throughout the community of the new services, more and more women have come to deliver their children at the facility --from 18 deliveries a month in 2008 to 110-120 a month this year.
However, this program -- which employs one midwife, one nurse, and one anesthesiologis one OBGYN -- is struggling to keep up with the demand. The new state-of-the-art Mireablais Hospital, scheduled to open next year, will help serve this community and others in central Haiti.

Caligula of the Stars
Though he was later accused of every crime and sexual perversion in the galaxy, Hope Hubris began as an innocent. Because he defended his older sister against the violent lusts of a wealthy scion, Hope and his peasant family were forced to flee Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter. Pursued by the bloodthirsty scions across the airless desert, they barely escaped with their lives. The illegal space bubble was overcrowded with refugees, all hoping to reach Jupiter for asylum.
But the space travelers had not reckoned on the terrible threat of high space - the pirates, barbaric men who rape, rob, and murder, with no thought but to satisfy their bestial appetites. It will take all Hope's ingenuity to survive, but the atrocities he witnesses will never die. There is only one way he can be rid of them.... Revenge.

"Great Story"
The story is great and well written but the narrator is weak. Still worth listening to.
"A Greek Tragedy and coming of age kind of book"
This is always been one of my favorite books.
I've always found it inspirational for some reason.
"i love piers anthony but..."
not his best work by far. Mr Anthony is a superb story teller see the adept series and incarnation series but this was far below the bar set by these works. Authors often ask readers to take leaps of faith to make the story work but i could not make the leap of rape being acceptable, expected and enjoyed. i also felt that his use of rape simply overwhelmed the plot. i could not get through this no matter how hard i tried

Radio storyteller | 26 Nov 2012
I feel that radio needs to have agents to break out of its Bollywood content. I don't understand why humour on radio is so cheesy and so tacky. There is a lot of scope for wise content. Radio needs to become brave in terms of content. Why can't we have radio plays, radio humour, radio comedy, etc? If original and honest content is created it will definitely work, there is no doubt about it.
Q. From journalism to lyrics writing, you have done it all. What inspired you to get into the art of storytelling?
Narrating stories has always been at my heart. There should be some amount of story telling in any form of communication you do and that has been my effort in everything, whether it is writing books, lyrics or journalism. To be able to say a story well and coherently is very important and that's what I have always attempted to do. 'Yaadon Ka Idiotbox' happened suddenly when Tarun offered me a show on Big FM.
As long as you write the story well, people might be forced to share it or read it. Thus, be it 'Dil Mera Muft ka' from 'Agent Vinod' or any of my stories, sincerity in story telling has always been a dimension for me. Voice was never something that I used professionally in my entire career so far. I have always been a writer and writers are mostly backstage, so when 'Yaadon Ka Idiotbox' happened last year, it opened up a new world for me. It was great learning for my self and understanding for audience. I had never written a short story in my entire life, I had never been before a mike at a radio station, so it's a new journey and I am learning, innovating and re-inventing as I go ahead and audiences like it.
Q. Music being the key rider on radio, do you think there is a market for this kind of content on air?
When my storytelling show commenced last year, some of my friends who are in other radio stations were not sure about the format of the show. Radio is a finicky medium, people do not tune in to radio at a particular time, however, the show defied all those perceptions about radio audiences and now people do tune at 9PM to listen to the stories.
In a friendly match between radio and television, we can say that radio won. We have been able to draw audience, we can create appointment listening, only thing we require is innovative content. The problem with radio today is that it is extremely Bollywoodised, everything starts and ends on Bollywood in India, which is very sad for radio. So when 'Yaadon ka Idiotbox' started at primetime, it broke the clutter and we tried to maintain the level of content to ensure that the stories were good. I really feel that the success of the show was not really about me, but about how the country is changing and how are families changing and not being able to spend time with each other.
For instance, storytelling has been a part of this country for generations and at one point it stopped, India became too busy to tell stories or give stories because things changed. Television started channels, shopping malls arrived, a lot of civilisation took place, and people's working hours increased, which took a toll on the personal time of citizens. Non-Bollywood content can not only survive, but also thrive and progress and radio.
Because we became lazy and stopped creating new content, we started blaming it on the audience, saying that they want only Bollywood content.
Q. In the past there have been on air versions of shows such as 'Ramayana' and 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', which did not click with the audience. However, according to ratings, 'Yaadon ka Idiotbox' has evoked a strong response? What, according to you, has clicked with the audience?
I cannot say much about adaptations of television content because it is depending on another medium for content. What clicks with 'Yaadon ka Idiotbox' is that it offers new stories, so it is not the content you have heard before on any other medium which is presented in a new way. The concept is based on an imaginary city called 'Yaadsheher' and I created this concept because Big FM is airing this show in 35 cities which are as diverse as Srinagar, Guwahati, Kota, Allahabad and Kanpur. Thus, we need to create a unique concept which everybody can relate to. That became the strength of 'Yaadon ka Idiotbox', that everybody can relate to it because they can see their lives in this content.
Sadly, content on television has very little with which people can connect to. In our content there is a lot of honesty and sincerity and everybody can connect to it no matter what their age is. Secondly, the themes are also very universal and that's what works for the show.
Q. Owing to the show's unique format, what were the challenges that you faced?
I think my advantage was that I have no former experience of radio and thus, when I came on board I had no baggage of radio conventions. For me, content was the most important thing and I was able to concentrate on it. It was very brave and audacious on the part of Big FM to start the show at prime time because there were a lot of challenges since we were breaking some of the major radio rules. For instance, normally RJ links go on for maximum one and a half minute and my segments go on for four minutes which is too long for a normal show. As the show got popular the number of advertisements increased. However, it became a problem later because audience had to wait for too long to listen to the next segment because of the ads. Thus, Big FM went ad free during the main story telling hour bunching the ad on opposite ends of the hour. The show faced a number of challenges, however, we sailed through most of them and now have a good show.
Q. Please elaborate on how is the content for Yaadon ka Idiotbox' generated? Do you author all the stories?
Like I said, I have never done radio before and thus I had no idea about the amount of hard work that would be required. However, when I started writing every story it became the most challenging creative assignment of my life. Every story used to be 2,800 words, which I would write everyday and then record it and package it. To create a new story, new characters, new emotions and a new ending everyday is difficult. I loved it and enjoyed it, but I realised that if the show has to go on I can continue to write stories everyday. So I set up an informal entity at home called the Monday Mandali (because we all used to meet every Monday). It is basically a bunch of young writers, most of whom I am happy to say had never written a short story in their entire lives. They were identified on the basis of their blogs, conversation with them, etc. So there are almost 15 writers now, most of who are in Mumbai. I train them and they author the stories, thus it is kind of a modern Gurukul. One person reads the story and everybody in the room has to give views on that, which is then revised if required and then goes on air. Also every writer is given credit. So, the Mandali writes and I also write whenever I can and that's working quite well.
Q. Radio listeners have evolved over the years? Do you think there is a need of change required in terms of the content broadcasted on radio?
I feel that radio needs to have agents to break out of its Bollywood content. I don't understand why humour on radio is so cheesy and so tacky. It does not need to be like this. There is a lot of scope for wise content. Radio needs to become brave in terms of content. Why can't we have radio plays, radio humour, radio comedy, etc? If original and honest content is created it will definitely work, there is no doubt about it.
Q. As an RJ do you feel commercial pressure? Do you think RJs these days manage to keep their content objective in spite of the increasing commercial pressure?
I am a radio storyteller and not an RJ. Work of an RJ is very difficult; I might not be able to do it. RJing is a completely different craft. Since I am not Big FM's employee, I do not get any commercial pressure from them, in the sense there is no pressure to do certain things in a certain way. Since 'Yaadon ka Idiotbox' is an outside entity on radio, it has an independent structure and thus I have never seen any commercial pressure in my show.
There are product integrations and there are things that have to be promoted on air and thus that element is there for sure. The art of an RJ is effortlessly weaving that element in their content and I admire the way RJs now do it.
Q. How do you see yourself growing from here? Would you like to take radio story telling up as a profession?
Fortunately, I am privileged enough to lead different lives in one day. I would love to run a radio station in future where I would air content of my choice and the content I feel audience will like. I someday want to air original rooted content, keeping in mind the audiences and not numerical value of the content. So on radio that is what I would like to do.
My idea is to just keep doing stuff creatively and try new stuff. If you have the capability of creating new and original content there is no shortage of platforms and that's going to be my way forward.

Countries » Italy
Italy (Italian: Italia) is a large country in Southern Europe. Together with Greece, it is acknowledged as the birthplace of Western culture. Not surprisingly, it is also home to the greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world. High art and monuments are to be found everywhere around the country. It is also famous worldwide for its delicious cuisine, its trendy fashions, luxury sports cars and motorcycles, diverse regional cultures and dialects, as well as for its many beautiful coasts, alpine lakes and mountains (the Alps and Apennines). No wonder it is often nicknamed Il Bel Paese (The Beautiful Country).
Two independent mini-states are surrounded entirely by Italy: San Marino and Vatican City. While technically not part of the European Union, both of these states are also part of the Schengen Region and the European Monetary Union, (EMU). Apart from different police uniforms, there is no evident transition from these states and Italy's territory, and the currency is the same. Italian is also the lingua-franca in both city-states.

Copenhagen – Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp should think carefully before leaving the club to take the England job if it is offered to him, former Denmark and Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has told Reuters.
With Redknapp's Tottenham side looking like qualifying for the Champions League, his name has been strongly linked to the job of England manager almost since the moment Fabio Capello resigned in early February.
Schmeichel, however, said he felt Redknapp had more to achieve at the north London club.
"If I was him, having done all that at Tottenham, I would ask myself – 'why would I leave this? This hasn't even peaked yet,'" Schmeichel told Reuters at a media event at the Carlsberg brewery in Copenhagen ahead of Euro 2012.
"Harry is a great manager, he's proved that on many occasions, small clubs with no money, he's got them to perform at the highest level.
"He's now got a little bit of money and what he's done with Spurs is amazing, but if they (England) want an Englishman, what are the options?"
Having played in England for Manchester United, Manchester City and Aston Villa, the former goalkeeper is also well aware of the difficulties faced by the England manager.
"Not only are you dealing with the players, whose mentality has changed enormously over the last five years, but also dealing with the press," he added.
"I don't think you get a fair deal."
Schmeichel laughed off suggestions that he might throw his own hat into the ring for the job.
"Absolutely not! I got asked yesterday if I have coaching or manager ambitions, and I don't.
" I don't think it's worth it. Obviously the guys that are in those jobs now believe it is, but I don't think it's worth the hassle. And it is hassle."
Still revered in his home country for his part in the Danish side that won the European championships in 1992, Schmeichel has predicted either Holland or Germany would win the Euro 2012 tournament.
"I went through all the fixtures this morning, and I challenge anyone to do the same and come up with a different result," he said.
"They are the strongest two teams in the competition."
Schmeichel, who also acts as a global ambassador for the Danish brewing giant that is a sponsor of the Euro 2012 tournament, said he was also keen to put an end to the myth that many of the 1992 Danish side were on holiday when they received the news they would replace Yugoslavia at the tournament.
"The only truth in that is that we had switched off," he said. "We'd finished our seasons for our clubs, the Danish season was actually still going on, but the players that played abroad had switched off.
"We were reporting for training every day but it was very casual. Then there was one day when we had two training sessions, we were in the middle of lunch when the word came that we were in.
"But it's a great story and I'm sorry to have killed it!" – Reuters

Apple knows how much money they can make with the app store so I wouldn't be surprised if they let it cut into their margins a bit.
11. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Meh. Apple is basically breaking even on the App store. They are going to squeeze the suppliers on the pricing. You may also see some increase in price to the consumer. I doubt that a $50 increase would kill many sales for Apple.
2. M0nkeyBr (Posts: 77; Member since: 13 Jul 2011)
But i might as well just get the ipad 2 im fine with everything on that one
3. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
seems like the exact same thing that you already have+ a slightly better screen. wooptiedoo.. wheres the ibots screaming that this will be the best thing ever..lol.
13. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Not here yet. But I can provide you with their priceless feedback:
"taco50: another bunch of android fanboys. You guys suck so much. It is known that apple is the best because they pay me regularly to say that, and in return I get to suck TCs i****. I feel like a lucky individual because I reported my whole family to Apple as "android fanboys" because I heard them talking about such crimes like freedom of choice and such"
"The_Miz: lol remixfa you such so much, all you android fanboys, iPhone 5 will have 5000GHz processor cause Apple always makes great experiences and oh my god I need to buy me some more cocaine. It's the best Apple product they ever make. It even got retina display on it. Just like the iPad 3 will which will sell 600,000,000,000,000,000lol units."
"gemini530: lolz look at tem android fanboys all around Apple articles. I praise Apple because resistance is futile. I praise Apple because resistance is futile. I praise Apple because resistance is futile. Oh and because they patented my wallet and they own my cash now. That's an in-app purchase. The best one there is"
- Hope I did a good job. ;-)

remixfa -- do you even understand English?? How can it "seem like the exact same thing," when it's lighter, thinner, faster, etc, The iPad 3 will have iOS 5, new batteries, new processor, etc...
remixfa, can you do us a favor and work on your English or your use of logic or perhaps both before you post again. You are quickly becoming the poster child of how to look stupid on phonearena.com
22. ilia1986 (unregistered)
here's the thing ardent1 - iOS 5 = iOS 4 + minor tweaks.
23. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
There's a few hundred new features for iOS 5. It's more than a minor tweak plus the upgrades with be deltas as opposes to an entire new program. Lots of cool stuff in the promo video.
25. AKm007 (Posts: 108; Member since: 06 Sep 2011)
@ardent1 : yes, thinner and lighter are minor tweaks. how much thinner can a pad get? it will be about 2-3mm less and all you isheep will be screaming for it. Lighter : unless its anything less than 500g, the use of the word lighter as a major factor is bulls**t. And faster : no matter how fast it is, ios5 is still s**t. get me bluetooth file transfers, more freedom within the OS and a nicer company than apple and i will buy it before anybody else.
28. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Few hundred new features.. yet Android has many many many many many more of them. Unique once, not notification shade rip-offs. Ever since 2009.
As I said - iOS 5 = iOS 4 + minor tweaks. Mostly Things-which-are-already-in-Cydia tweaks.
45. darth8ball (Posts: 520; Member since: 02 Aug 2011)
Don't talk about others use of logic if you don't have any yourself.
How can you say iOS 5 has a few hundred (300 or more) when you haven't tried the damn device yet? Apple will not tell anyone anything about their products until release how can you make that statement about the iPad 3 before you try it.
33. Apple Fanboy (unregistered)
lmao you're the biggest idiot ever, who let this guy in?? seriously you're the biggest tool on this site, anyways......you forgot to do my "priceless" feedback
you are retarded, every single update is just the previous plus a few tweaks....idiot, what do you call Ice Cream Sandwich huh? its the same as Gingerbread just with a few added "tweaks" thats what an update is...dumba$$, except iOS 5 doesn't take 2 years to release from the announcement date and then, half of your devices currently being sold can't even use it anyway...useless f@gdroid....

lets dislike him so much for a phandroid hater
26. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
ardent, you keep attacking me without merrit over n over again. you realize that so far in all of your attacks, you have made ZERO points.
There have been many people that have attacked me over n over again without merrit. Normally its taco and gemini. And they very rarely have points either. What is it with you crazy iSheep.. lol
27. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
oh.. wait.. now i get it.
you graduated Apple's training school for how to annoy those that make superior products.
apple sues samsung for making better products, and you blindly and crazily attack those that make valid arguements on a regular basis because you lack the ability to. i see now.
Want a cookie? :)
32. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
No iSheep eat hay! lol So no cookie for him!
34. Apple Fanboy (unregistered)
HTC is suing Apple, I don't see you talking $hit about that.....oh wait, the Evo 4G sucks anyways and you can't use your 4G in over 75% of the country anyways....but you're right, your product is superior....seems to me like Apple is the superior one that's why you can't take its name out of your mouth :)
38. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
speaking of lack of points... lol
what is with the isheep and this time of year.. they all go extra crazy..
its it a full moon!? lol..
no, i know.. they are going nuts because they are used to a new iDevice earlier in the year and are jonsing for their "minor" upgrade.
40. Apple Fanboy (unregistered)
lol you're an idiot man, I'm telling you, you guys are on Apple's nuts just cuz they sue Samsung, with a valid lawsuit at that, why don't you talk s**t about HTC suing Apple huh? Cuz you're a f@gdroid man, that's why lol
41. Kjayhawk (Posts: 294; Member since: 07 Oct 2010)
This is your argument... Your stupid...But i liked the f@gdroid, clever. A lot of people on this site like android over apple. Your saying hey since you don't like the same OS as me your a f@g... I'm all for that mentallity, but remember you really have no point to your argument. it took iOS like 4 years to fix a broken notification system i mean come on... At least google fixes the major problem every almost every time on an update...
BACK TO THE iPAD. Seriously thinner and lighter that's freaking ridiculous that thing is already supper thin as it is. Will it be quad core? If so the extra 100 bucks would be well spent if you ask me. Personally i thought the iPad 2 was under priced... And for people are bashing on the likely price increase i mean the ipad 2 was 100 less than the xoom (Awesome device) I would pay 100 more for a much a quad core, thinner and lighter iPad... But I don't buy usless s**t like tablet sooo im going to stay away but for the people who do purchase these products and need them its defiantly worth it if you ask me.
42. Apple Fanboy (unregistered)
lol first off, the F@gdroid comment is just a response to your guys' iSheep comment, if you were Sniggly or Superandroidevo, you'd kno that, we always eff around like that, second off...yeah, took em quite a bit, now they made it better than what Android has because they combined bits and pieces for their notification system, now an iPad is really a good toy to have, I love it, sure if they increase the price it'll suck a bit but eff it, quality costs a bit more and honestly the Galaxy Tab, among others, is s**t like you were saying, but F@gdroids will say it's not, just cuz they're Android fanboys, bring me a tablet that flows better than the iPad 2 RIGHT NOW and I will switch over to that, doesnt matter what brand/OS it is as long as it flows that well...there really isnt one out there, I use mine for eBay and online releases of different sorts and trust me, that "dumbed" down browser with that dual core processor is great for that sort of thing, no lagging at all and no crashing at all...just my 2 cents
47. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
hey fanboy..
first off.. register, dont be a punk :)
second off, sniggly generally gets pretty miffed at *** putdowns and calling people f@gs.
3rd, its kind of rude. iSheep goes with Fandroid. Neither are vicious enough to have to take it to the level u want to go to. That's stooping lower than Taco's mama on a saturday night :) Someone has to pay for his iphone.. lol
you prefer "flowing" over functionality.. good for you. some people prefer sizzle.. i prefer steak. I dont mind a lil lack of smoothness if im getting a lot of other things instead.
46. darth8ball (Posts: 520; Member since: 02 Aug 2011)
Does that mean he is gonna start suing you everytime you say something smarter than him?
Or make a point where he has none.
48. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lord i hope not.. thats a lot of lawsuits.. lol
51. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
remizfa -- point out that you come across the as poster child how to look stupid on phonearena.com is just stating the obvious.
You don't need merit to state the obvious. I am not trying to make points, I just pointing out that you have a history of making really, really stupid posts.
54. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
if your post has no point, then its a STUPID post.. especially when you are trying to argue against someone else.
wow dude.
your STILL thumbing up all your own posts.. its sad man.. really sad. :)
58. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2720; Member since: 26 May 2011)
And you could say the exact same thing with any upgraded hardware. Android fans go crazy over the SGSII, but it's a faster CPU and prettier screen. We like what we like, and there will always be incremental upgrades in hardware. So it goes.
4. skymitch89 (Posts: 1366; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
I don't see how they can make the iPad any more thinner. It'll be just the screen if they do.
59. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2720; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I'm sure that's been Steve's vision all along. Nothing but screen. They'll get there some day.

They did - with the Nokia N9, as well as with the 3.x tablets. However, I think that when it comes to game controls - nothing beats physical buttons. No need for huge popping X-Play ones either - just N-Gage style game controls on the phone. 2 - 3 buttons at the button with a D-pad, and 2 - 3 buttons at the top with another keypad.
