Valuation of fixed and variable rate mortgages: binomial tree versus analytical approximations
The recombining binomial tree approach, which has been initiated by Cox et al. (J Financ Econ 7: 229–263, 1979 ) and extended to arbitrary diffusion models by Nelson and Ramaswamy (Rev Financ Stud 3(3): 393–430, 1990 ) and Hull and White (J Financ Quant Anal 25: 87–100, 1990a ), is applied to the simultaneous evaluation of price and Greeks for the amortized fixed and variable rate mortgage prepayment option. We consider the simplified binomial tree approximation to arbitrary diffusion processes by Costabile and Massabo (J Deriv 17(3): 65–85, 2010 ) and analyze its numerical applicability to the mortgage valuation problem for some Vasicek and CIR-like interest rate models. For fixed rates and binomial trees with about thousand steps, we obtain very good results. For the Vasicek model, we also compare the closed-form analytical approximation of the callable fixed rate mortgage price by Xie (IAENG Int J Appl Math 39(1): 9, 2009 ) with its binomial tree counterpart. With respect to the binomial tree values one observes a systematic underestimation (overestimation) of the callable mortgage price (prepayment option price) analytical approximation. This numerical discrepancy increases at longer maturities and becomes impractical for a valuable estimation of the prepayment option price. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2012

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of primary somatosensory cortex (S1) has been shown to enhance tactile spatial acuity but there is little information as to the underlying neuronal mechanisms. We examined vibrotactile perception on the distal phalanx of the middle finger before, during and after S1 tDCS (anodal, a; cathodal, c; sham, s). The experiments tested our shift-gain hypothesis which predicted that a-tDCS would decrease vibrotactile detection and discrimination thresholds (leftward shift of the stimulus-response function with increased gain/slope) relative to s-tDCS, while c-tDCS would have the opposite effects (relative to s-tDCS). The results showed that weak, a-tDCS (1 mA, 20 min) led to a reduction in both vibrotactile detection and discrimination thresholds to 73 - 76% of baseline during the application of the stimulation in subjects categorized as responders. These effects persisted after the end of a-tDCS, but were absent 30 min later. Most, but not all, subjects showed a decrease in threshold (8/12 for detection; 9/12 for discrimination). Inter-subject variability was explained by a ceiling effect in the discrimination task. Cathodal tDCS had no significant effect on either detection or discrimination threshold. Taken together, our results supported our shift-gain hypothesis for a-tDCS but not c-tDCS.

Revenue seize 53kgs of Khat at Dublin Airport
Revenue officials made a large seizure of the drug Khat at Dublin Airport yesterday.
Officials stopped a 47-year-old man from Italy who had arrived in Dublin on a flight from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia.
After a search of his luggage they found that he was carrying 53kg of Khat, a controlled substance in Ireland.
Khat is a flowering plant native to East Africa and South Western Arabia and it is legal in Ethiopia.
Users chew the leaves to consume it.
It contains a monoamine alkaloid called cathinone, an amphetamine-like stimulant, and Khat is a controlled drug for the purpose of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 and Schedule 1 of the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 1988 in Ireland.
The man was detained by Gardai and investigations into the drugs, valued at €26,000, continue.

Superfund Site: OLD MILL
Superfund Site Profile
The Old Mill site is located in Rock Creek, Ohio. It consists of two parcels of land, the Henfield property (3 acres) and the Kraus property (10 acres). Five dilapidated wooden buildings and four concrete silos were located on the Henfield property, which was once the location of a feed mill and later a potting soil operation. Facility operations contaminated soil and groundwater with hazardous chemicals. The cleanup for the site was completed in September of 1991. Currently the site is being monitored to ensure the remedy is still protective of human health and the environment.

The Evolution Of Fdi In Romania During The Period 1990-2009
FDI is a key factor for economic modernization through changes in production patterns, technology transfer and greater competition pressures. In the latest years, Romania has benefited from important FDI flows, mainly due to the privatization process, but also due to the advantages of cheap labor force and a big internal market. From the beginning of the transition period, Romania went through a rapid opening-up process of its economy, which has resulted, among others, in attracting significant foreign direct investment (FDI). The presence of foreign firms has grown significantly, which is a sign of increasing economic integration. In this paper we shall make an analysis of the FDI evolution in Romania using the data provided by the National Trade Register Office of Romania for the period 1990-2009 and National Institute of Statistics.

love this place!
authentic mexican food is hard to find this place has it!
Fair prices, food is not so great, but overall this is a nice place to hang out with my girls after work.

So...I read the reviews, most of them from a year ago, but it sounded good enough and looked like it had ambiance. OMG...the boast their tequila...I asked for Cuervo Gold..""we're out,"" I asked for Petron, ""we have a house tequila""...are you kidding me, it's a Mexican ""hip"" supposedly restaurant. It's like a bad night club scene with a bunch of 21 year olds drunk in the lobby and their version of a night club. But I didn't get to the food yet, umm, the portions were so small, I never saw tapas served on tea cup saucers before, I think they ran out of dishes...and it was terrible! Like the frozen stuff you make when you're too tired to cook. I just apologized to my bf the whole night since it was my turn to pick the retaurant. CHOOSE ANY OTHER MEXICAN IN MANHATTAN, truly awful!

I went to Las Chicas Locas with 3 of my girlfriends last night. We go out to restaurants in the city all the time. I haven't reviewed any in the past, but now realize I need to if i love/hate one.
WE WERE BEYOND DISAPPOINTED. We ordered guacamole, 8 dishes and 4 pitchers of Sangria. ALL the dishes were TERRIBLE, the guac was extremely mild and none of us had a buzz.
We left completely unsatisfied. The service was ok and the atmosphere was eh, not chelsea cool at all.
Would never go back.

Las Chicas Locas has an awesome happy hour and yummy Mexican food. central location too and lots of new bars have opened nearby so you can make a night of the area!
11/15/2010Provided by Citysearch -
I will never go back. the food was decent enough. BUT we had an 8pm reservation and at 9:30pm the ""maitre'd"" literally asked us to have the dessert and coffee we just ordered at a table in the bar area since he has a 9:30 reservation coming in. We cancelled our order, and were AGHAST that we were not even able to finish the meal at the table. For an overpriced mexican restaurant, I would expect better service and accommodations.
Not much not to like about this spot. Couple of us came in for a drink on a freinds reccomendation and wound up closing the place out. We tried some of the tapas, which was all very good, but the atmosphere, staff and attitude there was really something special. Definitely heading back soon, viva Las Chicas!!
Great spot, came in with a small group for dinner and drinks and had a really good time. Everything we ordered was excellent, and relatively inexpensive. Being a tequila fan, the selection was definitely more than adequate and the bartenders knew their stuff. Easily one of the best margaritas I've had in nyc. Wound up moving to lounge area after dinner and stayed the whole night, staff was great and went out of their way to ensure everyone in our group had a good time.
09/21/2010Provided by Citysearch -
A must!!!! Mexican is one of my favorite cuisines and this is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to in NYC (next to La Esquina).
I highly recommend dining at this swanky yet comfortable restaurant. Everything from the music, service and food was exceptional.
Make sure you try the Cheese Fundido, Guacamole and a Watermelon Margarita.

This has been the rapid-fire presidential primary and caucus schedule that Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton and her strategists thought they wanted--one that benefited the presumptive front-runner. The candidate with the money, the organization, the name recognition.
The goal was to come out of the gates strong the first week in January, carry a deluge of contests a month later on Super Tuesday, and bingo--her delegate count is in the stratosphere, and the nomination is all but wrapped up six months before the party convention in Denver.
But now, with 10 straight losses to well-funded rival Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton is trailing in both delegates and the popular vote, the first drafts of her campaign's obituary are already written, and she finds herself fighting for more time. And with a devastating loss in Wisconsin, where Obama bested her among her once core supporters, and only a dozen days before voters in Texas and Ohio decide whether her on-life-support campaign can rally, Clinton's quest has taken on an air of desperation.
"Ohio is very different than Wisconsin," Clinton pollster Mark Penn said today in a call with reporters, scoffing at the notion that Clinton's Badger State slap-down among women, whites, the middle class, and those without a college education presaged her future in Ohio. She even lost among voters who said their top issue was the economy--the subject of her one of her most consistent messages. But Ohio could be just as difficult for Clinton. The demographics of primary voters who turned out in Ohio and Wisconsin in 2004 were almost identical, except that 14 percent of Ohio voters were African-American compared with 6 percent in Wisconsin. Yesterday, exit polls showed that African-Americans accounted for 8 percent of Democratic primary voters in Wisconsin and, as they have in other states, voted overwhelmingly for Obama.
"We have said consistently that February was going to be a better month for Senator Obama than it was going to be for us," Clinton strategist Howard Wolfson said Wednesday. "What was predicted has come to pass." The campaign says it has two debates and nearly two weeks to make its case. (Wolfson said he has no knowledge of a pro-Clinton 527 political interest group that has formed to raise money and run ads for Clinton in Ohio.) And advisers are keeping their fingers crossed that more intense media scrutiny of Obama leading into the March 4 Ohio and Texas primaries will take a toll on the new front-runner.
But the dings Obama has taken in recent days over his use of parts of speeches given by his friend, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick; his foreign policy inexperience; and his equivocations on an earlier pledge to use public financing if he's the party nominee have so far amounted to only that: dings. He has continued to rise in the polls in both of the crucial primary states--it's now a dead heat in Texas, and Clinton has been on a slide in Ohio, where she's seen her once 20-plus-percentage-point lead dwindle to 9 points in a SurveyUSA poll taken Monday and Tuesday.
So the Clinton strategy? Good debate performances, heavy ad buys, and superdelegates, superdelegates, superdelegates--the party's top elected officials, national committee members, and assorted bigwigs. Neither candidate, her aides predicted, will have enough delegates secured through the primary and caucus system to lock up the nomination, and they will continue their courting of the uncommitted superdelegates.
Clinton is trailing Obama in committed delegates--the Clinton camp says she needs 75 to catch up; Obama's people say it's double that. "It's not a huge number," says Clinton adviser Harold Ickes. "We expect she will close the gap with Mr. Obama substantially by Puerto Rico." Puerto Rico's June 7 contest is the last. It's an ambitious prediction, evenfor a campaign that, according to Wolfson, doesn't believe voters are basing their decisions on momentum.
Obama campaign strategist David Plouffe today said that Clinton would need to win 65 percent of the vote in the big states March 4. "Nice of him to try to set a bar for us," Ickes said, but 65 percent is a "far reach--and there's no expectation we're going to hit that number." But Clinton will have to get to a convincing number in both Ohio and Texas to stay relevant. "No question," says Wolfson of Ohio and Texas, "they are critically, critically important."

Coordination schemes for distributed boundary coverage with a swarm of miniature robots: synthesis, analysis and experimental validation
We provide a comparison of a series of original coordination mechanisms for the distributed boundary coverage problem with a swarm of miniature robots. Our analysis is based on real robot experimentation and models at different levels of abstraction. Distributed boundary coverage is an instance of the distributed coverage problem and has applications such as inspection of structures, de-mining, cleaning, and painting. Coverage is a particularly good example for the benefits of a multi-robot approach due to the potential for parallel task execution and additional robustness out of redundancy. The constraints imposed by a potential application, the autonomous inspection of a jet turbine engine, were our motivation for the algorithms considered in this thesis. Thus, there is particular emphasis on how algorithms perform under the influence of sensor and actuator noise, limited computational and communication capabilities, as well as on the policies about how to cope with such problems. The algorithms developed in this dissertation can be classified into reactive and deliberative algorithms, as well as non-collaborative and collaborative algorithms. The performance of these algorithms ranges from very low to very high, corresponding to highly redundant coverage to near-optimal partitioning of the environments, respectively. At the same time, requirements and assumptions on the robotic platform and the environment (from no communication to global communication, and from no localization to global localization) are incrementally raised. All the algorithms are robust to sensor and actuator noise and gracefully decay to the performance of a randomized algorithm as a function of an increased noise level and/or additional hardware constraints. Although the deliberative algorithms are fully deterministic, the actual performance is probabilistic due to inevitable sensor and actuator noise. For this reason, probabilistic models are used for predicting time to complete coverage and take into account sensor and actuator noise calibrated by using real hardware. For reactive systems with limited memory, the performance is captured using a compact representation based on rate equations that track the expected number of robots in a certain state. As the number of states explode for the deliberative algorithms that require a substantial use of memory, this approach becomes less tractable with the amount of deliberation performed, and we use Discrete Event System (DES) simulation in these cases. Our contribution to the domain of multi-robot systems is three-fold. First, we provide a methodology for system identification and optimal control of a robot swarm using probabilistic models. Second, we develop a series of algorithms for distributed coverage by a team of miniature robots that gracefully decay from a near-optimal performance to the performance of a randomized approach under the influence of sensor and actuator noise. Third, we design an implement a miniature inspection platform based on the miniature robot Alice with ZigBee ready communication capabilities and color vision on a foot-print smaller than 2 × 2 × 3 cm3.

As Trip Advisor members I'm sure you know of the Regal Cinema bonus card package which rewards regular theater goers with great discounts and freebies. Use your card on a Monday and you get a candy discount. I used to call Tuesday 'Free Popcorn Tuesday' as when the program started that's exactly what it was. The bag has shrunk twice in size and the price went to $1 and then to the current $2 which is still a bargain since it retails for $6-$8. But wait, Each time you purchase a movie ticket you get 1 point for each dollar you spend along with 1 point for each dollar you spend at the concessions (ergo 2 points for your $2 Tuesday popcorn). Every time your car registers 40 points a bonus is generated. The first time you get all free popcorn, the second time you get an all free small soda, and the third time you get a free movie ticket, and it continues to rotate back to the popcorn. This program is so much better than the constantly changing AMC program. Now back to the theater review. This place has 16 screens all with stadium seating and one of them with IMAX. They keep it clean and friendly and they show not only the current rage movies but also show some of the better low budget movies. For example I recently saw 'Way Way Back' which I rate one of the best movies I've seen this year and when I talk to my friends most of them haven't even heard of it. If there is one thing bad that I could say about this place it is that the ushers don't walk the aisles. I like to sit in the next to last row on the end seat. I am farsighted so I try to get as far from the screen as I can. I don't sit in the last row as the seats in that row do not recline. I sit in the end seat as with these new longer 2 hour plus movies my old legs tend to cramp up and I stretch them in the aisle. It is a sad commentary on society and their addiction to hand held devices but they absolutely cannot turn them off during a movie no matter how many times they are asked. Add to this the fact that the idiots that like to kick the back of your seat almost always sit in the last row. I have complained about this to management but they have apparently surrendered to the fact that they can do nothing about it. I don't hold this against this theater as this happens in every theater I ever go to. I do drive 11 extra miles to get to this theater as the Regal Theater in Westminster does not have stadium seating.

Grey Ghost ~ extinct or still a mystery
Jun 26
The South Island Kokako (distinguishable by it's yellow instead of blue wattles) was classified as extinct a few years ago, but there have been unconfirmed sightings in the misty South Island forests……
I tried to reign in my palette for this one (tough for me!), and added a bit of smoky white acrylic over the tree silhouettes. I'll be working on a North Island Kokako pair very soon.
The Kokako makes one of the most beautiful calls, in my opinion.

'Brick': Early Evidence of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Badassdom on Netflix
Child stardom is a bizarre phenomenon. It's not so much that the prominence of child actors is surprising, but the wild downward trajectory their careers tend to take post-pubescence is overwhelming. It's not guaranteed, but it happens on far more occasions than it doesn't. Sometimes we get Jodie Fosters, other times we're saddled with Edward Furlongs. One child actor who proved insusceptible to this curse is Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
The young actor first crept into the public eye on the late 90s sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun. He played Tommy Solomon, a member of a troupe of aliens disguised as humans and sent to our planet to investigate and report on Earthling behaviors. Though he starred in the hit rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You during the show's run, post 3rd Rock, the fame track seemed rather stalled. JGL experienced a new resurgence after appearing in Christopher Nolan's Inception, a gig that would later land him a part in one of the most anticipated films of this year: The Dark Knight Rises. That coupled with his open collaborative for artists, HitRecord, and parts in upcoming films Premium Rush and Looper have elevated JGL to major mainstream success.
But make no mistake, it was not Christopher Nolan who made a badass front man of this long-haired sprat. Long before Nolan came knocking, before G.I. Joe and 500 Days of Summer, JGL starred in an independent film called Brick from writer/director Rian Johnson. Given that Johnson also wrote and directed Looper, due out later this year, this year represents the poignant close of a full circle for the actor. Brick is now available on Netflix's Watch Instantly service and proves that JGL was always talented beyond his years.
Of all the contemporary films that have esteemed themselves neo noir, Brick is among the most genuine recreations of the genre. The film is seeped in noir. It breathes thick cigarette smoke and bleeds gunpowder. All the essential elements are alive and well. We have the hardnosed detective with the troubled past chasing down leads in a case involving murder, lies, and conspiracy. He beats information out of sketchy characters and encounters dangerous molls in red all while exchanging refrains of musically pulp dialogue to the sounds of a foreboding jazz score. Oh, and it's set in a modern day high school.
Sure, it's a great film, but how specifically does it prove Joseph Gordon-Levitt's preexisting badassitude? As the protagonist, JGL is not just the vessel by which the audience travels through the story, but he is also the conceptual standard-bearer of the film. He is the single-minded detective who spends a majority of the movie far more determined and in better control of his emotions than any high school student is wont to be. Nefarious, but beautiful women, throw themselves at him, but he shrugs them off, giving them the brush because they can't be trusted. Gordon-Levitt's resolve and commitment to this role is remarkably steely.
What's really phenomenal about his performance, and would so adeptly serve future characters he would play, is that he is absolutely fearless. He bows to no foe, no matter their size or standing on the high school hierarchy. His fight with the football player has similarly unfavorable odds as did Batman's battle with Bane in The Dark Knight Rises, but JGL proves triumphant. In fact, one of the spectators is coincidentally wearing a hoodie with the word BANE across the front. At one point, he even plays chicken with a speeding car just in the hopes of obtaining information from the driver…he is on foot the whole time.
Brick also showcases Joseph Gordon-Levitt's natural charisma. True, he is aided somewhat by the jazzy dialogue, but his understanding of the weight and measure of each line is evident in his performance. He's a magnetic spark that ends up moving through each scene like an electric current. And if you thought all his charisma in Inception was a byproduct of his ability to wear a vest, note his same command of each cinematic beat in Brick without the aid of so much as a decent haircut. When his character is allowed to break, to find that emotional catharsis, JGL dives in and delivers these moments with such power.
Don't be a sap — take a powder from whatever shady deeds you've got afoot and heel it to your Netflix queue to eyeball this cherry flick.

United Nations Notification: For the Hutu and the Tutsi
By: Ariana Evans, Zoe Van Den Bosch, and Tarilyn
(Picture of the Tutsi clan above)
From April 7th to July 1994 the Rwanda Genocide occurred, lasting around 100 days. This genocide took place in Rwanda, Africa. The genocide was set in motion by the death of the Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana, who was a Hutu, when the plane he was inside of was shot down by a missile leaving no survivors and no evidence of who fired the missile on April 6th, 1994. The presidents death was used as an excuse by the Government-allied forces of the Hutu to begin their premeditated genocide against the Tutsi clan. Not to mention that there was already high tension between the two ethnic groups. The main clans involved in the war were the Hutu and the Tutsi, but, you cannot forget the third clan of Rwanda; the Twa clan. The Twa clan, mostly forgotten, were killed by the Hutu for either being Tutsi sympathizers or for simply not being able to recognize the difference of the two clan members. But, not all of the Twa were Tutsi sympathizers, some chose to stand with the Hutu and attacked the Tutsi alongside them. Sadly,during this genocide the Hutu Governmental forces did not try to fight the Tutsi all by themselves; they would send out radio signals to citizens calling on them to murder their neighbors if they were Tutsi. The uprising and civil war finally ended when the RPF, who were the Tutsi rebel group, defeated the Hutu and reclaimed their government for their own.
Ariana: Why do people have to be so ignorant, Just because people are different doesn't mean they're bad.
Zoe: The one thought that kept coming back to me while researching this genocide was "How could someone be so cruel, harsh, and just plain monstrous?". All I read was about horrible slaughters and conniving evil groups in power attacking the minority.
Ariana: I know right? Where is the sense of humanity in these stories. I feel like these people have a psychological screw lose in their brains to just be this blinded by hatred. The worse part about it is that there are still people like this out there just waiting for the opportunity.
Tarilyn: I agree with Ariana. There has to be a loose psychological screw in order for anyone to think that this should happen. This has happened quite a few times, but what is it solving? People shouldn't have the right to commit mass murder just because a person is different from them.
(Hutu Clan)
(Rwanda genocide)
Why would you support a mass slaughter when there is really no reason to? Instead of continuing a mass slaughter you should try and work out your problems.... Not use your citizens and governmental forces to your advantage.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a virus spread through sexual contact. HPV is so common; almost everyone will be infected with the virus at some point in their lives. HPV can be passed even when an infected person has no signs or symptoms.
In most cases, HPV goes away on its own and people infected with the virus never knew they had it. However, when HPV does not go away, it can cause health problems such as genital warts and cancer. Cancer often takes years to develop after a person is infected with HPV. The best way to prevent the most common types of HPV is to receive the 3-dose series of HPV vaccine. HPV vaccine is CANCER PREVENTION!

At Silverstone this morning Jean-Eric Vergne (Carlin) obviously meant business as proved by him taking pole position for Race 1 and Race 3 after a seriously exciting session, where the last man to cross the line was pretty much guaranteed to end up on pole. The series leader timed it to perfection to pip Lucas Foresti (Carlin) to the top position for one race and Adriano Buzaid (Carlin) in the other. 3rd for Race 1 is Rupert Svendsen-Cook (Carlin) while James Calado (Carlin) starts 3rd in Race 3. Menasheh Idafar (T-Sport) claimed both National Class poles, while the Invitation Class went the way of Mu?oz.
The session was initially declared wet and everyone duly filed out on wet weather rubber, presumably with the intention of banging in a banker lap before hopefully changing to slicks and then playing last man over the line. It was no surprise at all when Vergne promptly set the fastest lap pretty much straight out of the box, the Frenchman now so close to clinching the championship that he can almost taste it. He wasn't about to have it all his own way mind. Calado and Oli Webb (Fortec Motorsport), while not the only challengers still in the running, are the only two with a realistic chance of stopping him, and even that is distant and rapidly vanishing. However, that didn't mean either of them has given up. Calado in fact leapt into the lead early on while Daisuke Nakajima (R?ikk?nen Robertson Racing) was 2nd though not for long. Meanwhile Idafar was leading the National Class while Fantin was ahead in the Invitation Class, presumably because he has more experience of the circuit. The order was changing rapidly now and the next to show his hand was Svendsen-Cook, though he couldn't quite dislodge Calado from the top slot.
In trouble, meanwhile, was Alex Brundle (T-Sport) who managed to go off in testing yesterday, and Cunha who didn't manage more than a lap on Friday after being attacked by Nakajima. Felipe Nasr (R?ikk?nen Robertson Racing) meanwhile, leap-frogged to 2nd. The times were still quite low with Calado still leading but the rain had now stopped completely so it was to be expected that things would get a lot faster quite rapidly from now on. As if in response, Calado promptly went faster and Svendsen-Cook was looking quick too.
They were all pushed down by William Buller (Hitech Racing) who hit pole, but still no one was ready to change to slicks. Carlos Huertas (R?ikk?nen Robertson Racing) was next to pole, pushing Buller back, along with his team-mate Daniel McKenzie (Fortec Motorsport). It didn't take Calado long to come back at them but it still wasn't over. Webb - with a new haircut - again leapt up the order, this time from 10th to pole but then Buller edged ahead again. The two of them both then lost out to McKenzie just before Calado came back again. Just to further spice matters up Idafar shot up to 8th overall, while Vergne was now only 13th. Meanwhile Mu?oz had now taken over the Invitation Class slot just as the drift into the pits for slicks began. Buller was first in for a change but that was enough to trigger a rush and at the halfway stage it was McKenzie on pole while the pit lane rush began in earnest. With 15 minutes still to run McKenzie was at the top, with Calado, Buller, Webb, Huertas, Foresti, Svendsen-Cook, Gabriel Dias (Hitech Racing), Nakajima and Hywel Lloyd (C F Racing with Manor Motorsport) rounding out the top 10. Buzaid was 11th just ahead of Nasr, Idafar, Jazeman Jaafar (Carlin), Brundle, Vergne, Mu?oz, Max Snegirev (Fortec Motorsport), James Cole (T-Sport) and Jay Bridger (Litespeed F3). Sistos was 21st, from Adderley Fong (Sino Vision Racing), Cunha and Fantin.
When Vergne finally pitted to change tyres he was back in an apparently distant 16th, and while he was doing that Webb was already out and scrubbing in the slicks, certainly enough to let him go 2nd anyway. Meanwhile Brundle's woes continued, the youngster trundling slowly into the pits, the car covered in mud and sounding really horrible. When he stopped and the team set about cleaning up the mess, gravel scattered everywhere. Clearly he is still struggling to come to terms with F3 with the season now almost over.
Dias, meanwhile, moved up to 4th but the other front runners were still warming up their tyres. Vergne had now dropped down to 20th so he had a great deal of work to do and there were now only 12 and a half minutes left. You had to wonder if they might have miscalculated at Carlin or whether this was some clever ploy on the part of Trevor Carlin and his team. With Webb one of the late callers at the pits pretty much everyone was now ready to go for those fast times. The Carlin team emerged as a pack but soon separated out. That allowed Calado to go 2nd on his first flying lap on slicks, which was good but not as good as Jev managed, Vergne flying round to snatch provisional pole. In the National Class Idafar improved his time too but dropped back in the overall order. It wasn't enough of a slide to threaten his class lead though.
Meanwhile, Buller came back to the pits to get another set of slicks and scrub them in for the race. However, this would prove to be a costly move as Hitech idiotically pulled the car into the garage to complete the work. They'd already done that when bolting on his first set of slicks, and had been told not to as it's in direct contravention of the regulations which clearly state "During qualifying Practice Sessions any work must be carried out on the pit apron only. Any cars returning to their garages or paddock areas must have permission from the Series Technical Delegate." Despite the fact that the Series Technical Delegate was standing nearby they didn't seem to consider it necessary to ask or to take note of having already been given a talking to. It would turn out to be an expensive piece of silliness but more of that later.
There was still a session to finish, and the times were now tumbling rapidly with Foresti leaping up to 5th while Nasr improved to 8th and Svendsen-Cook going 2nd. Fantin had now gone fastest in the Invitation Class, though he wasn't close to what the serious front runners were doing, especially with Vergne going ever faster. What followed next should probably have caused a slow down in the session as Jaafar had gone missing after setting the fastest overall times in the first two sectors and causing an outbreak of yellow flags in the third sector. Despite that Buzaid improved to 2nd, while Calado came rocketing round to set a pole time that was 2.878 seconds faster than anything so far achieved in the session. No doubt if challenged about it and the yellow flags, they would all have claimed the "drying track" defence in conjunction with the fact that the screen was not displaying the usual message about flags. It certainly didn't seem to be slowing any of them down, with Foresti now in 2nd and Nasr 3rd. A few seconds later and it all changed yet again with Svendsen-Cook climbing to 3rd and Idafar now up to 5th overall. Vergne, however, was having none of it and was back to pole and looking strong. He still hadn't quite sorted it though as was proved by Calado again going faster. In fact it was proving hard to keep track though among the more significant changes Webb was soon 5th and Nakajima 4th. They were then split by Fantin proving that all that testing was worth the effort. A further improvement saw Svendsen-Cook back in 5th but he was another with no answer to Vergne, the series leader again back ahead, this time by 1.261 seconds. The track was now drying so rapidly that it was obvious that the times would still continue to fall and so they did. Buzaid grabbed 2nd but then Calado came round again to reclaim the place, only 0.062 seconds behind Vergne now. Webb, meanwhile, slipped into 4th, thus spoiling the Carlin party. He promptly got edged out by Nasr, while Svendsen-Cook was 8th. Another effort from Buller saw him go 3rd and with just under 2 minutes or two laps left it was now going down to the wire. Brundle put in a sudden and somewhat unexpected improvement to haul himself into 8th place, while Bridger managed to squeeze a little more from the Litespeed car to end up just outside the top 10 in 11th only to be pushed back down when McKenzie improved to 10th. There was a brief lull and then with the chequered flag being readied it all went nuts again. Lloyd clambered to 12th while Foresti shot up to 2nd and Svendsen-Cook put in a last ditch attempt to claim 3rd. Webb was looking good as was Calado but there may wasn't much time left. The flag came out and everyone waited with bated breath for the last improvements. And so it proved. Calado pushed hard for provisional pole while Webb came round on his final flying lap to nab 2nd. Meanwhile it seemed that Buller was under investigation.
McKenzie hauled it back to 10th from a distant 17th and Buller shot to pole but then Vergne appeared heading for the flag having timed his run to perfection. The Frenchman had almost no one behind him apart from Buzaid (who would end up 3rd) and Brundle whose final effort put him 8th. And so Vergne again stamped his authority on qualifying in definitive fashion, leading home Buller, Buzaid, Calado, Webb, Svendsen-Cook, Foresti, Brundle, Dias and Nakajima. McKenzie was 11th from National Class pole man Idafar, Mu?oz, Bridger, Nasr, Fantin, Huertas, Lloyd, Cole and Snegirev. 21st was Fong, from Sistos, Jaafar and Cunha. Afterwards, however, Buller would have his fastest lap time disallowed and the Hitech team were fined ?500 for contravening Rule 2.4 and pulling the car into the garage to change the tyres. Whatever possessed them, it was a costly action.
The Invitation Class was back in action again, with Pietro Fantin (Hitech Racing) and Carlos Mu?oz (Mucke Motorsport) both opting to run on the Grand Prix circuit this weekend. In addition, the International Class had an extra competitor in the shape of Yann Cunha (C F Racing with Manor Motorsport) and the National Class is now large enough to produce a full podium with Juan Carlos Sistos (Team West-Tec) also joining in for the first time.
Weather: Damp, drying.

Most Helpful Girl
Do you want to stay alone for the rest of your life? This is a major problem for men. In the past men had the luxury of women being dependant on them so women would easily settle for less. These times have changed, luckily for us women. So yes, women now do demand more also on the physical part.. logically right.
First of all.. You have to really look at yourself critically. You're friends are probably right. I can see your face and part of your body. If you want to continue being so critical of women you need to look at yourself the same. Start going to the gym and bulk up if you want someone that is way out of your league. Dude.. GET REAL! What do you really have to offer a better loooking guy can't offer? What makes you stand out? Why should they spend their attention on you if they can get it from someone else who is more attractive?
I hope this is not perceived as mean, but some boys need a reality check. Everyone is attracted to beautiful people, but you need to start learning to see the beauty in less attractive people. You think 'less attractive women' are not attracted to beautiful men? They are, but they are realists! They know he's out of their league so they focus their attention to the ones that are in their league.00|00|0
So essentially I'm not cute or attractive at all and a pretty girl can do way better than me? What's ugly about my face?
I don't think you're ugly, I hate that word. There's nothing wrong with your face. You're just not my type, but that's okay.. not everybody will be attracted to you. I'm not everybody's type either, big deal. I don't know what girls you're chasing after but if even your friends tell you to lower standards.. that says a lot about the difference in leagues ;) If you're friends tell you that, listen to them and really reconsider how you view women. What type of girls are you attracted to? What league are you aiming for? Give an example than we can assess if it's maybe you're approach needing help in stead of what your friends say (aiming to high).

A 17 year study of 25,000 men between 1989 to 2005 showed a precipitous drop in sperm count. Drawing samples from fertility clinics (aren't you glad you aren't that intern?) the percentage of sperm within semen dropped by 1.9% per year and by 33% over that period. The 73.6 million sperm per millilitre of semen in 1989 seems positively luxurious compared to the average of 49.9 million/ml in 2005. Sperm levels have likely fallen more since the study, seeing as the decline was progressive over the 17 years.
This is, in case you were wondering, a serious health issue. Declining sperm rates correlate with an increase in testicular cancer. Sperm rates would have to fall to 33% of 2005 levels to reach infertility levels, but if sperm rates keep falling at the same rates, that will happen in ten years.
Again: it's possible that in ten years, the average male will be medically infertile.
The cause of the disappearing sperm has yet to be determined, but scientists are scrambling to figure it out. For those concerned, general health advice (eat well, get exercise, avoid chemicals) is often given as advice to maintain a healthy sperm count. Also, wear loose underwear.

Tag Tuesday.
I painted my tag with paint and when dry embossed it with my Big Shot. Applied silver ink to the raised surface. Stamped and heat embossed snowman, coloured in details with gel pens. I used 2 brads for the eyes.

- $1,000.00 is about 9-10 hours of labor less a bit for a gasket and perhaps a
couple shims... Think about it. The tank comes off, cam chain
tensioner loosened, cams removed though the frame main downtube is in the way,
it can be done. The $100+ Triumph tool was a pain in the behind so I checked
clearances on rear wheel stand, wrote all clearances down then did it again to
be sure and as it needed nothing I carefully aligned cam sprockets and replaced
cams, chain and cover, tank etc and off I went.
That was at about 8000 miles. Haven't done it since but I guess I should. The
gasket was easily reused. I'd suggest BikeBandit for parts over that dealer you
Again. This is a job best not undertaken by the faint of heart but it clearly is
better than spending a grand on a shop.
Mine, locally, charged me >$450.00 to do valve adjustment and oil/ filter change
on a Daytona a few years ago... No parts on the bill but oil & filter. No gasket
or shims leading to me wondering if they actually checked the valves???
They test road my TBS after a minor service early on picking up a nail in a
newish rear tire and had the balls to charge ME $350.00 for the tire and
install. At least they asked me what I wanted to do as I stared at the flat.
"You want us to change that out for you?" Like I had a choice. Ride to another
shop on a flat??? bank me.
Is it any wonder I don't patronize their facility???

Sweet & Sour Meatballs
Recipe by Canadian Pixie
This dish is great as an appetizer, or add some red and green peppers and serve over rice and you have a meal. This recipe has been used in my family since I was a kid--not too sure where it came from aside from my mom. It also works very well in a crock pot if you have several hours to let the sauce sit and thicken.
Top Review by EBacon
I just made this tonight for me and my girlfriend, and it was nothing short of absolutely awesome. Made the meatballs from scratch and followed the recipe to the letter, except I added the two optional ingredients, green peppers and rosemary, and I also added crushed red pepper. The meatballs had plenty of zip & zing and the sauce was to die for--we will definitely be having this again, thanks so much for sharing!

Desperate women looking for miraculous weight loss pills or online tablets could be in for a rude shock because of the dangers they could be exposing themselves to. Most diet pills currently in the market claim to contain herbal stimulants and appetite suppressants that have been shown to contribute to serious medical conditions like heart attacks and bladder problems. Whereas they can be effective for weight loss, the majority of diet pills are not backed up by clinical research and may contain ingredients that can pose dangers to your health. Despite the risks associated with the use of diet pills, people, particularly women in the United States and other parts of the world continue using diet pills to lose weight quickly.
What Are Diet Pills?
Diet pills refer to any product that is taken orally to provide nutrients, minerals, vitamins and other ingredients that are contained in your ordinary meals. Whereas not all diet pills are meant for weight loss, they can work to supplement nutritional replacements for people who don't get an adequate supply of particular ingredients in their daily meals. Common ingredients in diet pills also include amino acids, organ products, herbs or enzymes.
Health Risks Linked With Diet Pills
Some of the ingredients found in many diet pills for quick weight loss have been linked to a number of health problems and side effects. These include:
- Increased blood pressure and heart rate
- Dependence
- Liver injury
- Urinating difficulties
- Blurred vision
- Chest pain
- Breathing difficulties
- Withdrawal symptoms after long-term use
- Mental problems including depression, anxiety, nervousness, insomnia and restlessness
- Digestion problems like fecal urgency, flatulence, loose stool, gas and constipation
- Nausea, dry mouth and altered taste
- Fatigue, dizziness, impaired concentration
Herbal Diet Pills Not Safe For Women
Most people think that 'herbal' means safe. Most people though, especially women, are noting after realizing their weight loss goals quickly using herbal products they deem safe and natural. Though the results can be seen within a short time, several weight loss products have been banned in the U.S. and some European countries due to their natural ingredients linked to fatal diseases and conditions. For instance, before 2012, most natural diet pills contained orange extract or synephrine – a stimulant that works like ephedra, which has been banned in the United States due to its links with many deaths. Other studies have found that diet pills containing a combination of bitter orange extract and caffeine triggers increased blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. Yohimbine is another natural ingredient that have been banned in many countries due to its side effects and links with conditions like high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, migraines, seizures and kidney failure.
Diet Pills Undercover Marketing
Banning of these herbal/natural ingredients has not done very little to curtail manufacturers from producing diet pills for weight loss using them. A quick online search will prove how it is easy to find diet pills being sold in the United States and other countries, yet they contain the banned ingredients. Also, some companies are exploiting legal loopholes by selling diet pills using clever wording, or through third party online sites, making it harder to find the real producer. This has prompted health experts across the world to join hands in urging people not to use diet pills bought online without consulting their healthcare providers.
Caution for Women Using Diet Pills
Just like with any non-prescription medication, you should avoid using diet pills for quick weight loss if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication for treating an underlying medical condition. If you feel it worth trying, check with your doctor first to see if there can be better alternative approaches to help you lose weight quickly.
Hollie Powell Story with Diet Pills
Narrating her story to a U.K. magazine The Mirror, Powell was only 19 years old with a size of 18 and only wanted to get slim as fast as she could. She tried various diets without success. She came across her two friends who had lost weight with the help of a diet pill. She took them over the holiday and came back to two sizes slimmer. In less than six months, Powell had managed to lose 4 stones and was now size 12. However, Powell's rapid weight loss came at a greater cost. She started experiencing kidney problems and painful bladder that lasted for five years, which doctors claimed could have resulted due to her long-term use of the diet pill that is now banned. Although she was delighted at her dramatic weight loss, Powell also suffered infrequent headaches and racing heart at night. Recently, Hollie had to undergo surgery to remove her bladder using anti-inflammatory drugs in order to ease the discomfort. Though her operation was successful, the chances are that Powell could have permanently damaged her bladder.
Women should not use diet pills to lose weight quickly without doctor's supervision. There are no quick-fixes to weight loss that don't pose major health risks. The best way to lose weight is through healthy diet and regular exercise. Or else you can see top rated diet pills with doctor's consultation. Other than the two, the rest usually come at a greater prize or health complications. Talk to your doctor first if you are a woman or man intending to lose weight quickly.

A masterpice for Jazz-Music!
The casing of the CX-12 "Jazz", constructed on the basis of the tried and tested CX-12, has a great "new look" which doesn't just have optical appeal. The new mouthpiece has been specially milled according to modern ergonomic principles so that the radius at the front is slightly smaller. This enables the player to enclose the channel openings more closely and fits perfectly to the form of the lips. The fast response and slightly higher reed offsets give a dynamic and powerful sound with plenty of drive. The new casing is also fully compatible with previous CX-12 models.
With the CX-12 "Jazz", Hohner has succeeded in creating an instrument which is the ideal link between chromatics for the traditional player and the Mellow Tone and Hard Bopper models from our popular "Toots Thielemans" series, specially designed for jazz.

Citing 'Economic Pressure', Wal-Mart Sales Up 8.8% in Q2, Comps Just 1.9%
BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. here said this morning that net sales were up 8.8 percent for the quarter ended July 31, 2007, while income from operations was $3.11 billion, an increase of 4.1 percent from $2.98 billion in the previous second quarter.
BENTONVILLE, Ark. -- Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. here said this morning that net sales were up 8.8 percent for the quarter ended July 31, 2007, while income from operations was $3.11 billion, an increase of 4.1 percent from $2.98 billion in the previous second quarter.
Management was clearly not satisfied with the results, and Lee Scott, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. president and c.e.o., vowed to hold firm to Wal-Mart's position as the low-price leader.
"Although some people will report that Wal-Mart has had record sales and earnings, our underlying operating performance this quarter is not what we expect of ourselves, and not what our shareholders expect of us," said Scott. "For the remainder of this year, our management team is focused on inventory improvements, delivering quality products at low prices, and store execution at the highest standards."
Scott pointed out that consumers continue to be pinched by the economy.
"Many customers around the world continue to be under economic pressure and they expect Wal-Mart to be their advocate," Scott said. "We will continue to be the undisputed price leader, from Asda in the United Kingdom, to every market in the United States."
Earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.76, up from $0.72 per share in the same prior year quarter. Earnings per share from continuing operations for the second quarter were affected by three items that provided a net benefit of $171 million after tax, or $.04 per share, the company said. Accruals for general liability and workers' compensation claims were reduced by $196 million after tax. The retailer also recognized $41 million in after tax gains from the sale of certain real estate properties. These benefits were offset by charges of $66 million after tax for legal and other contingencies.
Sales in the Wal-Mart Stores segment were $59.013 billion, up 6.5 percent in the quarter, and up 6.1 percent to $114.450 billion for the latest six months reported. For the Sam's Club segment, quarterly sales were $11.377 billion, up 8.6 percent, while half-year sales hit 21.7 billion, a gain of 7.2 percent.
Comparable store sales, with and without fuel sales, for the quarter were up 1.2 percent, compared to 1.5 percent in the year ago period for Wal-Mart Stores. For Sam's, comps were up 5.9 percent versus a gain of 2.6 percent without fuel; and up 6.5 percent compared to 3.6 percent for the year ago with fuel sales.
For total U.S. operations, comps were up 1.9 percent, versus 1.7 percent without fuel; and 2.0 percent versus 1.8 percent with fuel.
