Ok for anyone looking for answers here is what was asked and answered during the Live Letter
source - http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/62880
Q1: When is Open Beta and Early Access?
A1: Beta Test phase 4 will run from August 17-19. Those who participated in the Beta Test phase 3 will be able to participate from August 16th. Early access will run from August 24th until the 26th with official service begins on August 27th, but the servers won't go down after Early Access, so you'll be able to play non-stop from August 24th.
Q2: What type of restrictions (including the level cap) will be implemented in phase 4?
A2: First, the level cap for phase 4 will be set to level 20. Therefore, game content will also be restricted to that which can be done within level 20. Please note that the content itself is exactly the same as the retail version of ARR.
Q3: The characters we create in Beta Test phase 4 will carry over to the official release, but will the items, quests, and other data besides our appearance also be carried over?
A3: Yes, everything will be carried over.
Q4: Will a screenshot feature be added to the PlayStation 3 version in Beta Test phase 4?
A4: Yes, we will be implementing this
Q5: Will the arcanist class be available in phase 4?
A5: Yes, it will be available in phase 4!

Q6: Is there anything you would like for us to test specifically in phase 4?
A6: There are two things we would like you to test in phase 4.
First, we are planning to do a stress test on the housing area (mainly to see how the graphics will stress the system). A housing area will be released in the La Noscea area during the stress test so please come check it out!
Second, the PvP system. While the content was referred to as the "Coliseum" up until now, we have changed it and it is now known as the "Wolves' Den." We would like the players to test the basics of the PvP system (i.e. attack ranges, etc.). Therefore, the PvP-specific actions will not be available during the PvP test.
Therefore, you will only be able to use your basic attacks at this time.
However, you must be level 30 to enter the "Wolves' Den." Since the level cap of phase 4 is set to 20, we will need the assistance from our Legacy players to test the system out.
Q7: Will the arcanist's attribute points be shared between summoner and scholar?
A7: No, they will not be shared.
Q8: Are there any plans to implement additional egi?
A8: If we were going to implement additional egi, it would be when we raise the level cap.
Q9: Can you show us some in-game footage of the arcanist, summoner, and scholar?
A9: [In-game footage was shown]
Q10: Just like how arcanist has summoner and scholar with differing roles, I'm sure in the future there will be other classes that have different branching roles. What kind of jobs are you planning to add to classes?
A10: Of course we have plans. It's probably a bit early to talk about this, but we are of course thinking about plans for how to continue development with the expansion we are referring to as 3.0 and other patches.

Q11: Will there be any additional payment methods other than credit card and Square Enix Crysta?
A11: Yes, we are planning to introduce "game time cards" which can be purchased at your nearest electronic store or convenience store. Players will be able to purchase game time for 30 days, 60 days, and also be able to choose from a variety of designs. These designs will be available in other countries as well so please stay tuned!
(Please note that these details may vary from region to region.)
Q12: Are you planning to have a world transfer service?
A12: As this is a game with world barriers, we will be preparing this service so you can move to the same world as old friends as well as new people you meet and become friends with through the Duty Finder. We plan on starting this fee-based service that will allow you to transfer to the world of your choice around 2-3 weeks after launch. Once we have finalized the details we will be sure to let you know.
Q13: When will the smart phone application be released?
A13: We are currently planning to release the application a week after launch. Please note that the application can be used free of charge.
The application will initially be released for iOS and is named "Libra Eorzea." Players will be able to view their character information, stats of items, quests, instanced dungeons, etc.
Also, the application will be linked with the database that will be placed on the Lodestone.
Q14: In the Player Feedback Status List you mentioned "it's thought that players would wait until the last minute to repair gear. Doing this would cause a lot of stress worrying about gear damage while playing content when your gear is nearly broken, so we've made it so that regardless of when you repair your gear the cost does not change." However, this is a strange reason to do this. Please go into more details about the thought process behind this.
A14: As you've said, it shouldn't be a flat rate. Sorry about that. We missed this edit. In Beta Test phase 4, the repair cost will change depending on the amount of durability remaining instead of a flat rate. By the way, when retrying primal battles and such, gear durability will be reduced quite a bit, so we will be easing up on the penalties when the entire party wipes.
Q15: Will we ever be able to transfer item/gil between characters on the same account and World?
A15: We currently have no plans to implement this feature do to various reason such as preventing RMT from abusing the feature.

Q16: What features will we be able to change in the barber shop?
A16: You will be able to change your character's hairstyle, hair color, eye color, face paint, color of the face paint, and beard.
We currently plan to release the barber shop feature in patch 2.1 (initial patch), so please don't stress too much when creating your character!
Q17: When will be able to obtain the new "heat resistant" gear?
A17: The new "heat resistant" gear will be available during one of the seasonal events called the "Moonfire Faire." The seasonal event should be introduced around a week after launch. Please note that the heat resistant gear will be swimsuits!
Q18: Will the primal battles be the same as what they were in 1.0?
A18: There are slight changes (some of the elements are moved around, introduced a variety of visual notifications, etc.) made to the primal battles. Even the 1.0 players will be surprised of the changes. Please stay tuned!
Q19: Please tell us what kind of bosses and mechanics are waiting for us in the Great Labyrinth of Bahamut and the Crystal Tower. Will primal equipment be necessary?
A19: As there are most likely newcomers watching, let me explain simply to start off. The Great Labyrinth of Bahamut will be the hardest content at the start of ARR for a while. It will contain a lot of things such as what happened after the Seventh Umbral event. While I can't really say too much about the mechanics, there will bosses that can only be defeated by performing certain actions and that have different phases. Without having a party that can deal the proper amount of damage, you won't be able to move past certain phases. Additionally, there will be shared damage type of attacks that you will need to have 4 people get hit by, as well as have a certain character act as a channeler for the damage. There will be a lot of different elements present.
The Crystal Tower is content that can be undertaken by a 24 person party. I don't think that difficulty is really that hard, and we've adjusted it so it's something that can be enjoyed by everyone.
Q20: Will we ever be able to send tells from within an instanced area?
A20: While the feature can be implemented, it's currently masked. It's currently masked because we would like to prevent players from harassing each other just because they know they would never party together in the future. We will continue to monitor the situation carefully as we move forward.

Q21: Will we be able to fight the primal "Good King Moggle Mog XII" in ARR?
A21: "Good King Moggle Mog XII" will be introduced in patch 2.1. Oh, on a side note, we plan to implement "extreme" versions of all the primals!
Q22: We've already seen chocobos and magitek armor mounts, but will you be adding even more?
A22: [Video introduces the unicorn mount.]
Q23: You previously mentioned that you might restrict the number of times we are able to roll a NEED on loot. Have you decided if any restrictions will be in place?
A23: After discussing the matter internally, we have decided not to implement any restrictions on the looting system.
Q24: The starting stats are different for each race, but will these variations only be marginal when reaching level 50 or will differences arise?
A24: It will be marginal.
Q25: When will the job-specific armor for the companions be implemented?
A25: They will be available at launch.

Q26: If you make it possible to transfer items between characters on the same account, and you can transfer relics or other Unique/Untradable items, would it be possible to equip them on the character you transfer the items to?
A26: No, if it's for the above stated items, you wouldn't be able to equip them unless they were acquired on that character.
Q27: Can you show us any images of the furniture that we can place within our houses?
A27: [Artwork shown]
Q28: I've heard that there is going to be a darklight armor for white mages. Is this true?
A28: Yes, it is true!
Q29: What's the status of the marriage system?
A29: We'd like to implement this as soon as possible in a way you can invite a lot of people.
Q30: Is there any new information on the "rare weapon apperance" system?
A30: After discussing the matter internally, we came to a conclusion that we are not ready to implement the system because of the various unique-looking weapons we have in the game. The basic idea behind the system is that players will be able to change the appearance of their weapon to something unique. It's strictly a visual thing and it won't have any impact on the stats.

Q31: In addition to primal battles, will you also be implementing hard-mode for instanced dungeons?
A31: Yes, we will.
Q32: There are a number of primal battles in ARR, but will there be a Morbol's Wrath kind of primal battle?
A32: Well, we've implemented a high level morbol FATE, so please try and find it!
Q33: Show us the Ul'dah and Gridania housing areas!
A33: We should be able to show you next Letter from the Producer LIVE.
Q34: Are there any surprise announcements you are hiding and planning to mention right before launch?
A34: I'm pretty sure we said quite a lot today...
Q35: Will the Free Company housing be in the area of the Grand Company we belong to?
A35: There are no real restrictions on this, so you can build your house in the location of your choice.

Q36: What's the status of the treasure map idea?
A36: Being able to play this content is not very far away. We are planning on fleshing out the system for a beastmen tribe related to treasure maps.
Q37: Will housing areas be implemented in Coerthas and Ishgard in the future?
A37: After implementing the housing area in the initial three regions, we will add housing areas to other regions if we receive enough requests!
Q38: Will you be able to have your minions run loose in your house or set them up as furniture?
A38: I think it would be possible, so I will let the lead know.
Q39: When we change our grand company, we are unable to equip any of our previous grand company gear. Could you let us convert our previous gear into seals?
A39: We would like our players to choose their grand company based on their play styles. This also means that we assume players may go back to their original grand company at some point. Therefore, we currently have no plans to implement a trade-in feature.
Q40: When randomly choosing content through the Duty Finder you said that the rewards will become significantly better, but exactly what kind of rewards get better?
A40: The percentage of tokens you can obtain will increase. We've decided to implement this once we add a bit more level 50 dungeons.

Paul, Hornets rebound from off-game with decisive divisional winDec 27, 2008 - 5:11 AM NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- Coming off arguably their weakest showing of the season on Christmas Day, the New Orleans Hornets recovered in strong fashion on Friday night.
Chris Paul put up another stellar showing with 26 points and 10 assists as the Hornets edged the Houston Rockets, 88-79, in a crucial Southwest Division clash.
"They are a good basketball team and have been playing good," Hornets forward David West said. "We knew we had our hands full with Yao and McGrady. We came out with good effort on the defensive end. We were able to make some key plays down the stretch to win."
New Orleans managed just 68 points in Thursday's blowout loss to the Orlando Magic, looking uncharacteristically lifeless for the duration. But Friday was a different story, as the Hornets got it done on the strength of a stifling defensive effort that limited the Rockets to just 38 percent shooting (26-of-68).
"(Thursday's loss) was just embarrassing," Paul said. "I don't know if it was a wake-up call, (but) we just knew that we needed to come back and bring a better effort. This has been kind of a roller coaster thing for us, and it needs to be a constant."
That said, Houston's staunch defense was nearly equal to the task. Neither team led by more than seven until the final seconds - and no lead was ever safe. Late in the fourth quarter, Tracy McGrady pulled the Rockets to within three with a pair of free throws with about two minutes remaining.
But the Hornets worked the clock and began to finish the Rockets off with a pair of clutch jumpers.
"I think we left (our offense) back in Houston," McGrady said. "We had some great looks, even down the stretch. The offense just wasn't there for us. Defensively, I thought we were pretty solid. We just couldn't make any shots."
Paul found fellow All-Star David West for a short jumper to push the lead to five. One possession later, the All-NBA point guard took it himself, burying a 20-footer to make it an 83-76 ballgame with less than a minute left.
"We were right there. It was a grind-out game. It was there for us," Rockets forward Shane Battier said. "We just didn't make enough plays. They got some big shots and key offensive boards. If you want to win this tough game you either have to make those plays or eliminate them."
McGrady knocked down three foul shots on the other end, but it was too late for the Rockets, who have now dropped two straight.
West finished with 23 points for the Hornets, while Tyson Chandler added 14 and 12 boards.
"We came out with a lot of energy tonight," Scott said. "It still boggles my mind that we can come out like we did yesterday turn right back around and play another very good basketball team and come out with that type of energy."
Yao Ming led Houston with 19 points and 12 boards, while McGrady - who has been battling a sore knee that has sidelined him off and on this season - was held to 11 on 2-of-11 shooting.
"I'm not 100 percent," McGrady said. "I'm gutting it out, playing through this knee surgery. I'm doing what I can. Some nights I feel like I can't do anything at all. Tonight I felt pretty good."

In January 2001, something terrible happened in my neighborhood. I can guarantee you heard about it. A 33-year-old woman, just coming back to her apartment with groceries, was brutally – and fatally – mauled by her neighbor's two dogs.
I never met Diane Whipple, but what happened to her could have happened to me. Literally.
As a dog "parent", and someone who spends much of my time out and about in San Francisco with my trusty furball sidekick, the idea that a dog could do such a thing horrified me.
What horrified me more was learning that I had actually encountered these animals, and had things gone differently, I could have suffered a similar fate.

Zito's Fast Falcon a threat in Travers
That's what Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito is doing when looking at
Throw out the Jim Dandy.
That's what Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito is doing when looking at Fast Falcon, who was unwilling in the slop covering that weekend of the traditional prep race for Saturday's Grade I $1 million Travers. Since then, Fast Falcon has looked like he has returned to form.
That form won him a 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight race at Pimlico on May 11, then placed him second in the Easy Goer and Grade II Dwyer at Belmont, both times behind Teeth of the Dog.
"[Jockey] Junior Alvarado, who seems to be riding extremely well here, said, 'Nick, whatever you do, please put the horse in.' He worked very well for him," Zito said. "He loved the way he worked. He rode him in the Easy Goer, where he finished second to Teeth of the Dog. Then Rosie [Napravnik] came back and he rode extremely well in the Dwyer. And then the last race was mud, and Rosie said he didn't like the slop at all."
Fast Falcon's closing style that brought him within a neck of winning the Dwyer was lacking in the muck, and he faded to seventh, 83⁄4 lengths behind winner Alpha.
"He wasn't the same horse," Zito said. "He didn't handle well at all. It was a funny track that weekend. It was rough. So, we're going to give it another whirl."
Napravnik rode Fast Falcon in his last two starts, but Alvarado will be up for the Travers.
Alvarado has 18 wins at the meet, along with 19 seconds and 20 thirds from 137 starts, winning at a 13 percent clip. He has claimed five stakes races, including the Grade II Honorable Miss aboard C C's Pal and the Grade I Prioress aboard Emma's Encore. He is 5-for-13 in stakes races (38 percent), and has been in the money in seven of them (48 percent).
The decision whether to run Fast Falcon in the Travers was tabled until his most recent work, when he breezed five furlongs in 1:00.54 Friday, fifth fastest of 13 at that distance over the main track. When Alvarado came back with good news for Zito, he had a chat with owner Richard Pell.
"We talked about it, and now we're in," Zito said. "He was excited. Of course, God forbid, [if] it rains, I don't think he wants to run."
Fast Falcon was born to run this kind of race. He has never gone 11⁄4 miles, but has been running well through dirt routes all year, if the sloppy Jim Dandy is disregarded. Even then, he was in position through the first six furlongs, trailing the leader by three lengths at that point.
He was unraced as a juvenile, but has been on a steady schedule since beginning his career in March. He was far off in his debut over six furlongs, then was sixth by four lengths in a turf try at a mile at Gulfstream Park. Zito then moved him back to the dirt for his Pimlico score.
His sire won the Jim Dandy and was third in the 1997 Travers, going on to win the Whitney and the Saratoga Breeders' Cup Handicap here in 1998 before winning the Classic as a 4-year-old.
"I like our chances, I like that the horse is bred to go long," Zito said. "He's by Awesome Again. Awesome Again won the Breeders' Cup Classic [in 1998 at Churchill Downs], so that's good. It's a good sign. And the horse is doing very well, and why not?"

Stan Mikita does not like Blues fans
My dad was born and raised in St. Louis. He was a kid when the Blues came into existence and fell in love with Red Berenson. He remembers when the Blackhawks were put into the same division as the Blues, and, in particular, he remembers hating Stan Mikita.
It's been over 40 years, and yesterday my father and I were walking down a street in Tampa (the Westchase area for anyone interested). My dad stopped mid-sentence to turn around and stare at an old man getting out of a car. It was Stan Mikita and his wife about to meet friends for dinner.
My dad rushed over and Mikita asked if we were Lightning fans. My dad explained that he was a Blues fan. Immediately, Mikita's face turned to disgust and he told my dad to bend over while making a kicking motion. Mikita gave me the same treatment before shaking both of our hands. In short, he's a pretty awesome guy, and his wife is really friendly.
TL;DR: Shook Stan Mikita's hand after being threatened by him.

Billionaire Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA won the first of two scheduled America's Cup races on Saturday, chipping away at Emirates Team New Zealand's extensive lead after the Kiwis nearly capsized their yacht.
New Zealand began the eighth match in the Cup finals with a lead over Oracle, but in a maneuver during an upward leg skipper Dean Barker temporarily lost control when the boat's 135-foot-tall wing sail got stuck. The AC72 catamaran teetered on one hull for several seconds before dropping back in the water.
That gave Oracle a chance to get out in front and it went on to win the race by 52 seconds, just its second victory in the 17-match series in San Francisco Bay.
Aggressive tactics and solidly executed maneuvers have helped the Kiwis dominate racing since the final series of races for the 162-year old trophy began last week. Barring a catastrophic misstep by New Zealand, which its near-capsize easily could have become, experts say Oracle has little chance of catching up.
The Kiwis, backed by the New Zealand government, have scored six victories against Oracle and need only three more to win.
One more race is scheduled for Saturday with another two on tap for Sunday. If Oracle does not turn things around, the Cup could be headed to New Zealand by the end of Sunday.
Ellison's Oracle, slapped with a jury-imposed two-race penalty, has won only two race and still needs to win another nine to keep the Cup, which the yachting world refers to as the Auld Mug.
Since the teams began races a week ago, Oracle has suffered against New Zealand on upwind legs, where it has repeatedly forfeited early leads. The Kiwis have maneuvered Oracle into disadvantaged positions near race-course boundaries and forced Skipper Jimmy Spithill to perform extra maneuvers as the huge catamarans zigzagged across the bay.
Oracle on Thursday replaced tactician John Kostecki with British sailing superstar Ben Ainslie, but that change failed to turn the tide of the team's floundering Cup defense.
"It doesn't mean it can't be turned around, but it would take some sort of brilliant swordsmanship on the part of Oracle, some flash of fire from the heavens," said Kimball Livingston, a competitive sailor and writer at blueplanettimes.com.
Oracle started the regatta two points behind because of an unprecedented jury-imposed punishment for illegally modifying the team's smaller, prototype boats sailed in warm-up races.
Though Oracle flies the American flag, substituting Ainslie for Kostecki left only one U.S. sailor on the team, trimmer Rome Kirby. All but two of the Kiwi sailors hail from New Zealand.
The international jury that punished Oracle in the biggest cheating scandal in Cup history also expelled Kostecki's brother-in-law, first-choice Oracle wing trimmer Dirk de Ridder for making illegal boat alterations.
When Ellison's team won the America's Cup in 2010, it gained the right to set the rules and chose windy San Francisco Bay for this year's competition.
Oracle also came up with the AC72 yachts, which can hydrofoil across the waves at 50 miles per hour. In May it became tragically clear how dangerous the twin-hulled yachts were, when a sailor was killed in the capsize of the AC72 sailed by Artemis Racing.
The Kiwis first won the America's Cup in 1995 and successfully defended it in 2000 before losing the trophy three years later to Swiss biotechnology billionaire Ernesto Bertarelli's Alinghi in a disastrous campaign that left the team in shambles.

A Sylacauga High School principal has a lot of explaining to do after one of her students who is now fighting for his life, attempted to warn her a group of pro-Black Lives Matter students issued a series of threats to him. Even after showing the high school principal the threats by his fellow students the principal stated she was unable to do anything about it.
"My son took it to the principal at Sylacauga High School and I commend him for that. He showed her the threats that were being made to him, but she told him there was nothing she could do. I'm appalled," Allen told WBRC, adding, "They have a job to do it at school and they failed to do it."
"I want to see them handcuffed. I want to see them put in jail," Allen said, referring to her son's assault as a "race issue" and "hate crime."
WBRC News's Jamise Price spoke with the parents of the 17 yr old who is still in critical condition after the assault.
"I don't wish any harm on anyone's child. I would like for them to have to look at my child right now," she added. "I don't want any other mother to have to go through what I went through these past few days."
"Instead of us planning for his 18th birthday, we're here. Why? Because he made a statement that he backs the blue? I'm still trying to understand how someone, no matter the color of their skin, can do this to another human being," said Allen.
Police have not yet issued a statement if this will be considered a hate crime or not, however they have stated they are investigating racially motivated reasons for the assault.
Over the weekend, Johnson says they interviewed roughly 20 people, including witnesses, family members and persons of interest.
Allen said her son's skull is broken in three places.
"Apparently he was hit with something that is possibly to be the butt of the pistol. He has stitches and he has real bad bruising on his shoulder. There's a lot of wounds on the back of his head from being hit as well," Allen described.

The Morocco international was surplus to requirements at the Eredivisie champions, and will now continue his career in Serie A
The Serie A side were keen to bolster their attacking options ahead of the 2012-13 campaign, and new head coach Vincenzo Montella has now received the new striker he was looking for.
El Hamdaoui was close to joining La Viola in the January transfer window, but the move fell through for financial reasons.
The 27-year-old started his professional career with Excelsior and also played for Tottenham, Derby County, Willem II and AZ before joining Ajax in the summer of 2010.
The Morocco international failed to make an impact at the Amsterdam giants, though, after falling out with head coach Frank de Boer. He last featured in an official game for Ajax on April 24, 2011.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends which could subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 3 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
National Retail PropertiesDividend Yield: 4.60% National Retail Properties (NYSE: NNN) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.60%. National Retail Properties, Inc. is a publicly owned equity real estate investment trust. The firm acquires, owns, manages, and develops retail properties in the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 31.97. The average volume for National Retail Properties has been 1,164,100 shares per day over the past 30 days. National Retail Properties has a market cap of $4.6 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are up 22% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings rates National Retail Properties as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its growth in earnings per share, compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, expanding profit margins and increase in stock price during the past year. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- NATIONAL RETAIL PROPERTIES has improved earnings per share by 15.4% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, NATIONAL RETAIL PROPERTIES increased its bottom line by earning $1.06 versus $1.03 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.12 versus $1.06).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry. The net income increased by 21.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $37.49 million to $45.57 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 10.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 9.3%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for NATIONAL RETAIL PROPERTIES is rather high; currently it is at 61.22%. Regardless of NNN's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, NNN's net profit margin of 43.11% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- The stock price has risen over the past year, but, despite its earnings growth and some other positive factors, it has underperformed the S&P 500 so far. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.

Former state BJP chief Rahul Sinha and actor Rupa Ganguly of teleserial 'Mahabharat' fame figure among 194 candidates whose names were announced by the party on Thursday for the West Bengal assembly polls.
The announcement was made following a meeting of the party's Central Election Committee (CEC) attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, among others.
The Party, however, did not announce its candidates for Kerala due to 'some pending issues'.

- Delhi polls: BJP declares list of 62 candidates
- Yeddyurappa among 52 Bharatiya Janata Party candidates for Lok Sabha polls
- Varanasi seat may delay BJP's list for UP
Union Minister and CEC Secretary J P Nadda said the party has given representation to "all sections" of society in list. He said young candidates have been preferred and 26 women figured among the candidates announced so far.
With Thursday's announcement, BJP has declared its candidates for 246 seats in the 294-member state assembly.
Sinha will contest from Jorasanko seat in Kolkata, while Ganguly, who is the party's state women's wing chief, will try her luck from Howrah North.
Former state party youth wing president Amitava Roy will be in the fray from Barrackpore and actor Suman Banerjee from English Bazar, Nadda said.
About the list of candidates for Kerala, he said, the CEC has approved nominees for several seats but it will released after completion of certain formalities.
Sources said the state BJP leadership had released a list of candidates for 22 seats a few days ago, making the task a "little difficult" for the central leadership. It is not clear if all the names announced by the state unit will find favour with the Party's central leadership.
Kerala BJP chief Kummanam Rajasekharan told a press conference that his party's prospect in the state, where it currently has no MLA, is "bright" as people are fed up with the ruling Congress-led UDF and its main challenger is the CPI(M)-led LDF.
He also referred to the recent incidents of violent attacks on party workers allegedly by CPI(M) activists, and accused the ruling Congress of protecting the accused.
Former Kerala BJP President V Muraleedharan claimed BJP had stitched together a "formidable alliance" that includes Ezhava outfit Bharat Dharma Jana Sena, and it will do well in the polls.
Kerala goes to the polls on May 16, while West Bengal will have elections in six phases between April 4 and May 5.

The midfielder, who has yet to score for his new club, joined from Dinamo Zagreb in January and is confident they will enjoy a bright future despite a poor recent run of results
The 18-year-old midfielder has been as frustrated as any by the club's recent downturn in fortunes, with a run of four defeats in five matches putting their hopes of European qualification at risk.
But Kovacic is confident Andrea Stramaccioni's side can finish the season on a high and then build a squad which can again be competitive at the highest level in the near future.
|Inter Milan are 6/1 with Coral to beat Napoli on Sunday
"We have not done well in the last few games. We need to win our last four because the season is not over yet. We can play well and I hope we show that."
Javier Zanetti's Achilles injury has dominated Inter headlines this week and doubts have been raised over whether the Argentine's star-studded career could be ended by it.
Kovavic said: "First and foremost, Javier is a lovely human being. Then, he is a great captain. I'm very happy to have got to know him, and sad about the injury he's suffered. But I know he'll be fit and back among us soon.
"I know it's a bad injury, but I hope he's back soon and we'll be waiting for him."
Despite the team's struggles, Kovacic's personal performances since joining the club have seen him praised and the midfielder said he has been enjoying himself with Inter.
"I would like to say a big thank you to all of the fans. I am very happy to be here at this club," he said.

Rustenburg - A 23-year-old man has been arrested in Boikhutso near Lichtenburg for murder, North West police said on Sunday.
The man allegedly beat up another man who fell on a bottle which pierced his neck, said Colonel Sabata Mokgwabone.
"It is alleged that the fight started after the victim and the suspect, who are reported to be friends, got involved in an argument," he said.
The man died in hospital.
The incident occurred on Saturday and the suspect was arrested on the same day.
He was expected to appear in the Lichtenburg Magistrate's Court on Monday, said Mokgwabone. - Sapa

Most people could "stand to lose a few," whether they're above their ideal weight or just carrying too many puppies. Shed pounds with this Groupon.
$79 for a Four-Week Weight-Loss Program (Up to $200 Value)
This Groupon is only valid for the weight-loss program's initial visit, which includes a physician consultation to record bodily metrics and set goals, and any subsequent visits that are required during that four-week period. The program also includes up to four B-12 shots. Prescription appetite suppressants from the clinic's in-house pharmacy may be recommended after consultation. Throughout the four weeks, the staff offers in-person, phone, and email support. To monitor progress, evaluate results, and receive additional appetite suppressants, customers can purchase follow-up visits for an additional charge ($150/visit).
Ameri-Cal Weight Clinic
Dr. Ronald T. Weiland doesn't "believe in fad diets," as he notes on his website. Rather, he trusts in simple mathematics: fewer ingested calories plus more burned calories equals weight loss. At Ameri-Cal Weight Clinic, he and his staff put this equation into practice during comprehensive weight-loss programs that rely on healthful foods, aerobic exercise, and prescribed appetite suppressants. This mix of support, services, and tools is readily available at eight clinic locations throughout the Bay Area and one that only appears on leap years.

Power restored to 50,000 Sydney homes
Power has been restored to about 50,000 homes and businesses in southern Sydney.
A fault at the Kirawee substation this morning cut power to the area for about two hours, wiping out traffic lights across the Sutherland Shire.
The blackout forced most shops at the Westfield Miranda shopping centre to close.
Energy Australia spokesman Anthony O'Brien says crews haven't been able to found out why the equipment failed.
"We have to do a full investigation but these sorts of faults can occur from time to time on the electricity network," he said.
"The network is designed to cope with these sorts of issues so you can keep supply flowing as quickly and as safely as possible when a fault does occur."

Miss Manda....the scared feral kitten who used her brother has a shield for interacting with anyone for the last year, is finally finding her personality! Marley left Friday for Vermont, which meant Manda needed to find her own way. In a matter of days the scared girl has blossomed! She is forever running, climbing and playing. Manda is a year old, gets along with dogs and other cats. She's a pretty laid back girl who loves nothing more than finding a nice place to curl up and enjoy the sun thru the window. Could you be the one to give her the best birthday present, a home of her own?
Apply at http://adoptacat.goodkarmapetrescue.org if you are interested in meeting or adopting Manda! Adoption fee for kittens is $75 which includes spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, deworming, testing, and other vetting.
GK was started in 2011 by Stacey Chen, who decided that she could best provide for her foster animals by starting a rescue that aims for best care rather than high volume. We intend to stay as small as we need to be to ensure that every one of our foster animals is treated with the same care and respect we show our own furry family.
GK is based in Fort Lauderdale and is supported by wonderful, dedicated foster parents throughout the South Florida area. If you are interested in helping to save lives through volunteering, fostering, or adopting, please get in touch with us!
Our contract allows us to come visit you and your new family member after the adoption to make sure everything is going well and your new pet is happy & healthy.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Good Karma Pet Rescue.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

Baguio (Philippines), Dec. 30 (Reuters): Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo said today she would not contest the next election, a surprise announcement that changes the political landscape before a poll which must be held by 2004.
Arroyo, whose popularity has slumped since she was swept to power in 2001, said she wanted to spare the country fresh political turmoil and focus on reviving the economy.
Some rivals praised the decision as statesmanlike, an economist said it would help defuse tensions that could have spooked the economy but one political commentator said her hand had been forced by those who put her in power in the first place.
I have to make this sacrifice, Arroyo, a 55-year-old economist, told officials in the mountain resort city of Baguio, 200 km north of Manila.
Arroyo, who as vice-president took office in January 2001 after demonstrations toppled Estrada, is grappling with a raging national budget deficit, poor tax collection and perceptions of increased lawlessness.

The Dallas Fed is Refusing to Adopt Transgender Workplace Protections
Less than two weeks after winning the fight to have DART offer domestic partner benefits, Resource Center Dallas is shifting its focus on a new target: the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
The bank, one of dozen independently run regional reserve banks, does not currently include transgender protections in its nondiscrimination policy, which reads like this:
The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas provides equal employment opportunity (EEO) without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, age, genetic information or disability.
In several letters to the bank's senior leadership, Rafael McDonnell, the Resource Center's spokesman and agitator-in-chief, has suggested adding "gender identity" to that list, as have the FRBs in Boston and San Francisco. So far, McDonnell has received a cool response from senior VP Tyrone Gholson, who wrote in an email that "the Bank is committed to equal employment opportunity and will include in its policies any categories protected by law" -- which doesn't include transgender employment protections and won't for the foreseeable future.
"It's baffling," McDonnell told the Dallas Voice last week. "Other branches of the Federal Reserve Bank offer fully inclusive employment protections. Many of the nation's largest commercial banks offer full LGBT employment protections. To be dismissed in an email, without responding to other attempts to contact, makes me wonder how truly committed FRB Dallas is to inclusively."

The Resource Center has gone the public-shaming route before, and it tends to work (see: DART, Parkland, Dallas County, DFW International Airport, ExxonMobil et al).
In other words, the Dallas Fed will eventually buckle and add gender identity to its non-discrimination policy. The question is when.

Robust and Adaptive Algorithms for Online Portfolio Selection
- Authors
- Source
- Legacy
- Disciplines
We present an online approach to portfolio selection. The motivation is within the context of algorithmic trading, which demands fast and recursive updates of portfolio allocations, as new data arrives. In particular, we look at two online algorithms: Robust-Exponentially Weighted Least Squares (R-EWRLS) and a regularized Online minimum Variance algorithm (O-VAR). Our methods use simple ideas from signal processing and statistics, which are sometimes overlooked in the empirical financial literature. The two approaches are evaluated against benchmark allocation techniques using 4 real datasets. Our methods outperform the benchmark allocation techniques in these datasets, in terms of both computational demand and financial performance.

Since going blonde I have found that my hair has not felt or looked has healthy as it did when it was brown, I had been thinking about trying an intensive conditioner or mask but not being very familiar with these products I felt a bit lost.
That was until I read a review by Chelsea from 'Through Chelsea's Eyes' on the Marilyn Hair Treatment from Lush. I've recently fallen back in love with Lush, but I will admit I tend to stay away from the hair stuff when I'm in there as it all just gets a bit too confusing for me what with all those solid shampoos and what not. But it made my day to find out they had something that could sort my locks out.
"Let your blonde have more fun. A pre-wash treatment for blondes who want lighter, brighter hair.
Whether you are bleech blonde or natural you will want to keep brassy, orange tones from building up in your hair.
Use Marilyn regularly yo ensure you stay true blonde, not brassy."
Basically what you need to do is lather this rather gloopy stuff all over dry hair, kind of like when you dye your hair at home, wait 20 minutes then wash it off as you normally would.
I could not believe how silky smooth this stuff left my hair, and it didn't just last until my next wash I could still feel the benefits of the product a few washes later. I can't say it made my hair look any lighter but it sure felt a lot more nourished. I think maybe if you used it from the first wash after having your hair coloured it would probably help keep the tone for a lot longer, I'll be trying this next time I get my hair coloured.
If you're looking for a hair mask that doesn't contain lots of chemicals then you should definitely give this a go, at £8.95 for 225g I would say this was a good value purchase. I will definitely continue to use this product and I thoroughly recommend it to all you blonde bombshells out there. Thanks Chelsea for bringing this to my attention!

looks like you and i are in it for the long haul, huh?
i refuse to listen to anymore old wives tales. especially the one that i was told re: if the first baby comes early - the second one will ALWAYS come early too (DD#1 was born 10d before her due date, and here i am, still pregnant w/ DD#2 8d after EDD).
we'll stick it out together :)
are you doing anything to speed things up? i've been drinking Red raspberry leaf tea and walking as much as i can. i'll be getting acupuncture this weekend too.
sex seems very unappealing at the moment - but i may give in eventually ;)
Posted at: October 26th, 2007 02:57 pm (UTC)
Are you still having prodromal labor? mine has stopped completely!!!
Posted at: October 27th, 2007 03:30 am (UTC)
I tried the other day, with sex, a walk and nipple stimulation, but NOTHING! And when I say nothing, I mean it. No BH, no mucus, no anything. I don't even think he's far enough down for me even to be close. I feel pretty much like before I was pregnant, except twice the size.
I'm sure I've gained another 5lbs. Wahhh!
*fingers crossed the acupunture works for you* ;)
Posted at: October 26th, 2007 02:56 pm (UTC)
My daughter was born on a full moon (in 2005) and the nurses all swear it's true, and honestly it was a mad house.
However she was born at 36w3d and here I sit nearly 40 weeks along with baby #2 hoping the moon does it again but am having my doubts, haha
I'm going for a long walk today.
Posted at: October 27th, 2007 03:36 am (UTC)
When I first heard about it a few months ago, I was sceptical. But that didn't stop me from checking if there was going to be one near my due date. So for months I've had 'the 26th' in the back of my mind.
But oh well, maybe I'll have a halloween baby! :)
Posted at: October 27th, 2007 03:40 am (UTC)
Yup, I am still here too. No full moon baby for me this time!
Although I am about to take a very hot bath my hips are starting to ache so bad they feel disfunctional, now I am just hoping once i get in the tub I am able to get back out! haha
For 2 weeks I had prodromal labor and last week I was losing a little of my mucus plug and ALL of that has come to a dead stop.

Credit Suisse
When LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura opens in September 2015 in Ticino, it will be one of the largest cultural centers in Europe. Similar to the KKL in Lucerne, the LAC will host various cultural institutions: "LuganoMusica," "LuganoInScena" and "Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana." LAC creates a top transcultural offering, promoting artistic diversity in Lugano and the entire region. With the outreach program "LAC Edu," LAC seeks to make art, music and theater more accessible to the general public. Credit Suisse and UBS are supporting the new cultural center as the two Main Partners. In doing so, Switzerland's two largest fi nancial institutions are showing their joint commitment to Ticino and cultural diversity in Switzerland. UBS and Credit Suisse's engagement enables a unique endeavor: together these two major banks, deeply rooted in Switzerland support the establishment of an institution with top artistic quality. This will allow them to offer their clients, employees and the general public in Ticino and Switzerland unique cultural experiences.
Credit Suisse commitment – focus «Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana»
The promotion of culture has a long tradition within Credit Suisse. A successful partnership has evolved over time from Credit Suisse's cooperation with "Museo d'Arte Lugano" – the future "Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana" – which began in 1992. The museum's major retrospectives and exhibitions of renowned 20th century artists have become a permanent fi xture of the cultural calendar of the city of Lugano and attract numerous visitors.
"We are particularly happy to continue the long-term collaboration that bonds us with the future "Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana" in the new, modern and functional space at the LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, which we support as a partner. This partnership will allow us to expand our presence in the cultural sector of the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland – in a region where we have nurtured deep roots for over a century and in whose potential we strongly believe. LAC with the "Museo d'Arte della Svizzera Italiana" now joins the group of major institutions that our bank has supported for years such as the Kunsthaus Zürich, the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Kunstmuseum Bern, the Kunstmuseum Winterthur, the Kunsthaus Zug, the Fondation Pierre Gianadda in Martigny, the Fondation de l'Hermitage in Lausanne and the National Gallery in London. Credit Suisse has been the main sponsor of Lugano Estival Jazz for several years running."

Want to rock your Instagram profile picture?
While small and insignificant in the mobile photo stream, it's gained prominence with profile pages on desktop. You'll want to ensure that yours is at its best!
You may have originally connected Instagram with your Facebook account and imported that personal profile picture. If you plan to use Instagram for marketing, consider a more professional look.
I set up my Instagram account in December 2012 and had my Facebook profile pic of me in a Santa hat up for almost a year! When I finally got active on Instagram, I discovered that the Instagram profile photo doesn't change when it's changed on Facebook. If you go with something seasonal, you'll need to update it on Instagram too.
Top 5 Tips to Rock your Instagram Profile Picture
Hint: The tips to rock your Instagram profile photo are the same as any professional profile photo! Here are my profile picture best practices:
1. Show Your Face as Your Profile Picture
Put a personal face on your business – unless you're a known brand, or your business is widely recognized by your logo, use your face as your Profile Photo. People don't "connect" with a logo – they connect with a face. People tend to ignore logos – but are hard-wired to pay attention to faces.
2. Use a Professional Photo
For best results, hire a pro to take some great headshots. If that's not in the budget, get a friend with a good camera, a good eye, and a steady hand. If you want people to take you seriously as a businessperson – DO NOT put up a sloppy "selfie." Make sure your photo is crisp and clear, and you look professional.
3. Show Some Personality
While you DO want to look businesslike, you DON'T want to look staid and unapproachable. Remember that people do business with people they know, like, and trust. The first step to being likeable is to smile. Make eye contact, and show your personality in your pose!
Photo credit: PhotoByBarbara.com
4. Keep It Close
A profile picture mistake I often see is showing too much of the body, which makes the face quite small. In the photo stream, your Instagram profile pic is tiny. Crop to head and a bit of shoulders. It's not about your hair and clothing, it's about your face – that's what will draw people in, and help them recognize you as they see you time and again!
5. Instagram Profile Picture Size
The Instagram profile picture size is a mere 110×110 pixels on desktop. You can upload any size image, and scale and crop as you wish. You do not get an option to add filters, but if you first post the photo to your Instagram stream, you can use a filter at that time. Then choose from Library >> Instagram Photos when changing your profile pic. But #nofilter is probably the way to go.
Bonus Tip: Update your Bio
Your bio will get more exposure with the branded vanity URL on desktop, and the searchability of a web page. Make sure your bio is current, and includes your keywords! Don't forget to include the URL to your email list opt-in.
Updating your Instagram Profile Picture
This can only be done from the mobile app. It's as easy as a few taps:
- Tap your profile picture or name in the feed, or tap the profile icon, bottom right corner.
- Tap Edit Your Profile.
- Tap Edit on your photo (or the blank profile icon).
- Choose to Import from Facebook if you wish the profile pics to match – or use one of the other options.
Check out and follow my Instagram business account here. Then go rock your Instagram profile picture with these tips!

These standard manometers, very rapidly linked on the boom, allow to carry out 6 observations: stability of pressure (P), functioning of working manometer, loss of P between working manometer and boom, equilibrium of the P between boom sections, loss of P within the sections, functioning the compensatory returns.
This specific equipment is composed of several standard manometers with calibrated nozzle. It is rapidly connected on the spray boom in the place of each nozzle (all pressure are analysed simultaneously). It allows to realize 8 observations: stability of pressure (P), functioning of working manometer, loss of P between working manometer and the spray crown, equilibrium of the P between each crown sections and equilibrium left-right, loss of P within...
This equipment makes it possible to check precisely and in an indisputable way operation of the pressure gauge of work (low or high pressure), after its disassembling.

Hip arthroscopic surgery helps diagnose and, in some cases, treat joint problems. It's a minimally invasive surgery that causes very little trauma to the hip joint.
Your surgeon makes only two or three small incisions in the skin and inserts a small camera called an arthroscope. Encased in a flexible tube, the camera gives your surgeon expanded views of this hard-to-access joint.
Your surgeon will examine the condition of the cartilage in the hip joint, a ball-and-socket joint. Cartilage on the head of the femur forms the ball of the joint; the acetabulum — an inwardly curved surface of the pelvis — forms the socket.
Request a referral to a hip specialist.
Issues treated with this surgery include:
- Removal of loose cartilage.
- Removal of bone spurs.
- Repair of the hip joint's labrum, cartilage that helps hold the femur inside the acetabulum socket).

"It works for me" is not a proof that the design is sound. People have expressed that the current design is not good, and point at different things. The previous designs were not better, for several reasons (which I'm not going to repeat again...). Some implementations are obscure, and this is in contradiction with the goal of CM being a repository of maintainable code. Maintainable means that developers can read and understand the code with a reasonable amount of work. I spent numerous hours to clean up the initial port (a direct translation of a Fortran to C converter IIRC) that became the "BOBYQAOptimizer" class.[1] The result was included in 3.0 on the promise that the code would not stay in that state. [And that I made it clear that I could not go on being the only one working on it.] Now people start to file issues. Be they supposed bugs or misundertandings, we cannot help because the code is not sufficiently documented. [Actually, I suspect that it would be less work to reimplement the algorithm from scratch (based on the paper by Powell) than trying to understand the current version...] "BOBYQAOptimizer" is a horrible Java code (e.g. it contains lots of "simili-goto" statements).[2] In a library, the source codes should share coding standards. Consequently, if a code is not following the standard, it should not be part of the library. We simply should not have included it. It is not, and cannot be, maintained; it is just there. You could as well copy/paste it to your personal toolbox. Regards, Gilles [1] Which implies that I'm probably more sorry than you about the current situation.

La Liga Round-Up
By Paul Higham
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Depor travelled to El Santiago Bernabeu looking to draw level with Carlos Queiroz's side, and could have taken the lead when Luque's finish was wrongly ruled out for offside.
Ronaldo put Real ahead on the stroke of half time slotting home from close range after a pinpoint centre from Zinedine Zidane.
Walter Pandiani drew the visitors level just after an hour when he scored with his first touch of the ball after being brought on as a substitute for Diego Trisitan just 15 second ealier.
However, Real skipper Raul popped up with five minutes left to play to grab all three points for Real and restore their two-point lead over Valencia at the head of affairs.
Valencia had earlier moved to the top of La Liga courtesy of a 1-0 win at struggling Real Betis.
Juanito's 17th minute own goal was enough to settle the game for the visitors who inflicted yet another defeat on the Seville side who are now just three points outside of the drop zone.
Osasuna remain in fourth place after a 0-0 draw away at Racing Santander, although the hosts did field four non-EU players for a short period, and the Spanish league may well punish them by handing the match to the visitors.
Mallorca's recent good run came to an end in Malaga as they were on the wrong end of a 3-1 defeat on the Costa Del Sol.
Fernando Sanz gave the hosts the lead after 11 minutes but for Samuel Eto'o to restore parity on the half hour.
The Cameroon striker then missed a penalty ten minutes after half time and he was made to pay for that miss as Duda and Salva Ballesta handed Malaga the three points.
Athletic Bilbao held on to a 2-1 win at home to Sevilla despite being reduced to ten men with five minutes left to play as Asier Del Horno received his second yellow card.
Julio Baptista gave the visitors the perfect start as Sevilla went 1-0 ahead after just a minute, although their joy lasted just five minutes as Ismael Urzaiz drew Bilbao level.
Francisco Yeste put the hosts ahead on 23 minutes and they held on for the win despite the late dismissal.
Albacete gave themselves some breathing space at the foot of the table with a 1-0 win at fellow strugglers Real Zaragoza.
Mikel Aguirre was the hero for the visitors as he scored the only goal of the game after 77 minute to lift Albacete four points from the relegation zone.
Real Murcia grabbed a good point in a goalless draw at Valladolid although they remain in the bottom three of the table.
