Videos by AAP national teams
Video: a highly adaptable medium to conveying diverse messages on adaptation
AAP national teams are putting the powerful medium of video to work to raise awareness and deepen understanding of climate adaptation.
Video offers a unique opportunity to combine moving images, still photographs, narration, interviews, graphics and text to convey information in an engaging and compelling way. And contemporary video technologies and online viewing platforms make video production and sharing much easier.
The following sampling of AAP videos shows the high adaptability of the medium itself to conveying different messages to different audiences.
AAP Rwanda
Climate Change: Mitigation and adaptation activities
This video examines how climate change will affect agriculture in Rwanda and how the series of pilot projects in which the AAP is participating will help prepare responses to these impacts. These adaptation initiatives are being undertaken by the AAP together with the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), the Rwanda Agriculture Board (RAB) and the Least Developed Countries Fund in 10 districts across the country that are experiencing lower or higher rainfall than usual, soil erosion and increased soil acidity.
The video opens with footage of officials from REMA and the RAB visiting the districts and drawing up plans with residents and local leaders for locally appropriate mitigation and adaptation measures.
It goes on to discuss the findings from a 2007 national report that identified likely effects of climate change on Rwanda and the adverse effect these would have on the country's agricultural sector. The report recommended a series of adaptation activities involving water management, early warning mechanisms and increased production of resilient crops, which form the basis of the 10 AAP interventions.
Dr Rose Mukankomeje, Director General of REMA, discusses how the intervention locations were selected and what the AAP and LDCF does at each. John Gapusi, a researcher at REMA, is also interviewed about the activities.
A farmer from Gatsibo District, Peter Muyambi, is interviewed about the problems his district is facing and the possible solutions to these.
The last section of the video then looks directly at the activities being undertaken in the 10 districts.
AAP Kenya
Securing the Future: Setting the Scene for a Low Carbon Resilient Future
This video, produced by the AAP with the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, shows local communities benefiting from adaptation initiatives that give them access to carbon credits and reduce their living costs. It highlights a series of initiatives being implemented by the Government of Kenya to help rural communities adapt to climate change. Different sections of the video look at:
- The REDD+ project in Taita Taveta, where locals are being assisted with sustainable production techniques and being taught how they can profit through carbon credits from protecting the environment.
- The Mikoko Project operating in coastal areas. The project rejuvenates mangrove ecosystems, which protect against climate change impacts and provide a source of carbon credits.
- The Ewangan CBO lighting project in the Ngong Hills, which provides residents and businesses with energy.
- The Nyongara Biogas Plant, which converts solid waste from the Nyongara abattoir into biogas to run the facility's generator, reducing waste pollution in the area.
- The Kenya National Domestic Biogas Programme, which installs biogas units in farms.
- The Mutunguru Hydro dam project in Meru, which provides electricity for the local community, which is not connected to the national grid.
- A project to grow the Prosopis plant in Baringo, where reclaimed lands have reduced desertification and generated a charcoal industry.
- Maarifa Centresin various locations, which provide adaptation information resources to local communities.
Kenyans' Innovative Response to Climate Change
This second video recently produced by AAP Kenya looks at adaptation projects that the government and local communities are undertaking to combat the effects of climate change. These include the Imarisha Naivasha Programme, an effort to restore Lake Naivasha's water level by planting water-retaining papyrus around it, and the Kerosene Free Programme, a five-year project to replace kerosene lamps and candles with LED solar lamps.
The video also looks at various adaptation strategies for communities such as early warning systems, water harvesting and storage, drought resistant and early maturing crops, well-suited animal breeding and crop insurance schemes. It goes on to show how Mzee Sato, a resident of Nyamira, uses animal waste to power his house with biogas and how Pauline Langalat, who comes from the semi-arid region of Turkana East, harvests the water that she uses for farming.
AAP Ghana
Towards Mainstreaming Climate Change and Disaster Risk into Ghana's Development Policies and Plans
This video, produced by AAP Ghana, uses a range of visuals including animations, photos and maps along with sound effects and voiceovers to convey information.
The video explains climate change and its effects. It then explains the aims of the AAP and outlines its targeted outputs. It goes on to describe five flood-related pilot projects and concludes with an explanation of how mainstreaming climate change is an effective way to confront the range of issues it exacerbates.
AAP national teams are encouraged to forward any videos they produce to The Baobab Coalition Journal so we can share them with colleagues across the AAP community.

News, Vision & Voice for the Advisory Community
Detours through the sunburned land of Oz
December 1, 2010 — 4:58 AM UTC by Timothy Welsh, Guest Columnist
The 2010 FPA Australia conference is my third trip down under and each time it gets better and better as I learn the best places to go, things to do and places to visit. With apologies to the great travel writers, I humbly attempt to capture the experience and encourage you to "go there, man!" This statement is borrowed from Bill Bryson, author of the excellent Australian travelogue, 'In A Sunburned Country,' and highly recommended reading.
My solo journey begins late on a dark, dreary and rainy Friday night around 11:30 p.m. at SFO's international terminal. As I gaze out onto the bleary tarmac from the airport lounge, sipping a pre-flight cabernet, I realize I'm in the midst of a San Francisco "film noir" moment.
I approach the United counter, brimming with confidence that my frequent flyer 1K status will entitle me to a coveted upgrade for the 14 hour flight.
Sorry: business class has "checked in full."
Checked in full
But, no worries, mate. I settle in for the long flight with a loaded iPad and multiple sleeping medications. I am entertained for the first half of the flight and sleep fitfully for the second half and wake into a somewhat normal state as we land into the southern hemisphere.
Arriving into Sydney on a stunning Sunday morning (you lose a day en route west), I once again am pleasantly reminded of the friendliness, openness and welcoming attitude of Australian. "How are you going today?" is the frequent greeting.
Sydney is known for its stunning skyline, opera house and location on an enclosed bay, very similar to San Francisco. Surrounded by tall buildings and a view that makes your eyes water, I go for a long jog down to the Circular Quay to see the ferry boats traffic to the suburbs and to the famous Manly and Bondi beaches. Continuing my run on to the steps of the famous opera house, I sprint up "Rocky" style to take in an ocean and city view unsurpassed on the globe.
I finish my run through the equally famous Hyde Park, a vast open area with thousands of rare and unique plants, trees, bushes and Aussie citizens soaking up the warm sun.
After a full Aussie breakfast, I travel on foot to the shopping districts, charged with the mission of picking up authentic Australian UGG boots for my daughter, Rugby gear for my son and several pounds of Australian chocolates for clients. Unfortunately, this is where we feel the impact of Bernanke's money policy, as everything is incredibly expensive and the strong Aussie dollar hammers the tiny US dollar. I observe signs in the many banks offering savings yields of 7% and they seem so bizarrely out of place when compared to the 1% returns we see in the United States.
I stop into the many pubs to check into the local scene and find that each one is a veritable casino, full of slot machines and scores of televisions broadcasting live horse races, dog races, cricket, golf, tennis matches, US college football – basically any sport you can think of that you can wager on anywhere in the world. This is truly a sporting and gambler's paradise!
That evening I take in a superb dinner on the waterfront, enjoying a Tandoori chicken dish and Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, prepared by an Aboriginal chef. Can there be more culinary influences in one place? As the sun sets and the temperature moves from comfortable to sublime, I start searching real estate listings and help wanted ads on the Blackberry.
The next morning I have to start earning my keep. We host several workshops on document management for my client Laserfiche, with our local solutions provider Lanier. There is nothing better than having "feet on the street" locally and the blokes from Lanier introduce us to a very engaged group of financial advisors.
Who needs lifestyle when you have tech integration
Clearly technology has not made its way into the local businesses as we "wow" the attendees with the most basic of advisor technology to get rid of the paper. Note to the rest of the advisor technology industry – this is a very green field for technology sales down under and the depth of efficiencies and integrations we have are simply not here!
Tuesday brings another beautiful day in downtown Sydney. I am again quite impressed with the work-balance lifestyle in Australia, as it seems that all of the coffee shops and cafés are full in the mornings, the pubs and restaurants are packed during lunch and no one is working after 5 p.m.
Another, and probably even more pleasant, aspect of the financial district (at least from this guy's point of view) are the "Sheilas." A local, affectionate term for the women of Australia, these gals dress up to the nines, with some of the most exotic shoes that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Despite the laid-back culture, Aussie women's fashion does not take a step back, and the number of beautiful women strolling the streets of Sydney is a sight to behold.
Given the time and day differences between the United States and Australia, Monday night Football actually occurs at lunch on Tuesday. I step into "The Republic," a four-story pub in downtown Sydney that is actually showing the Denver Broncos-San Diego Chargers game live on ESPN2, right next to coverage of the dog and horse races, Cricket and tennis matches, all of which you can place a bet on at the bar. I wager Aussie $2 on a dog named Ralphie's Paradise and simply enjoy the spectacle as the dogs run all over the place, tripping each other, and my pup comes in last place.
After a couple of days in Sydney, it's off to the Gold Coast on an easy one-hour flight to Coolangatta airport, near Surfer's Paradise. The Gold Coast is a 33-mile long strip of the most beautiful beaches, featuring tourist traps, casinos, a jungle two miles west and some incredible architecture that frames a stunning skyline. infused with an Asian influence, the Gold Coast hums with activity, particularly this time of year as the "schoolies," congregate. Schoolies are the Aussie term for the thousands of 18-year-old graduates who gather for their version of Spring Break to drink, dance and make us all long for those carefree days. With a drinking age of 18 in Australia, the scene is wild and out of control, but fortunately (unfortunately?) many miles to the north from where the FPA conference will be held.
Wednesday is the FPA Golf day, and I have the good fortune to be in an excellent group of financial planners who become fast friends. Greg, a planner from South Australia, lectures me on the finer points of Australian beer as I consume what I thought was a local favorite brew, VB. "Victoria's Bitter is the crap, mate. No one likes anything from Victoria." He also provides interesting background for the financial crisis with Australia's version of sub-prime loans, "Ninja loans killed the banks – no income, no job or assets – and Storm Financial put a wicked black eye on the industry."
My other golfing partner, Anne, the wife of a prominent planner and founder of a dealer-group, keeps us in check with her humor and approach to life. "My husband's business is for sale, but he bloody won't sell it to a bank!" reflecting the hostility that many financial planners have for the big banks in Australia that control most of the larger dealer-groups and were the cause of much of Australia's financial problems. We finish in the middle of the pack at 2 under par in an "Ambrose" tournament (same as a Scramble). Despite the middling finish, we have a great time on the Royal Pines golf course – all now fast friends for life, which is what golf foursomes are all about. The Australians are truly the most friendly, warm and enjoyable people I have ever met.
That evening the FPA conference gets under way with a cocktail reception and those events are chronicled here separately.
Saturday, the final day of the trip, brings a bright and early wake-up call to catch a plane to Sydney for the 13-hour flight back home to San Francisco. This time I catch a break and the upgrade goes through. Business class provides a welcome sanctuary for the journey home and I actually land on Saturday morning into SFO before I had left in Sydney.
Due to the time change, you actually get a day back on the eastern way over the Pacific. My spectacular view of San Francisco as the plane brings me safely back from Oz reminds me: There's no place like home.
Elizabeth's note: It's nice to find another fan of Bill Bryson right here at RIABiz. My recommendation for those whose tastes run more to fiction: Tim Winton's Dirt Music, a magnificent book that's partly about the landscape of Australia itself.

TORONTO, April 23 (UPI) -- People willing to meet their partner's needs above their own may keep the sexual spark alive in long-term relationships, Canadian and British researchers say.
Amy Muise, a post-doctoral fellow of the University of Toronto, and colleagues at the University of Cambridge in England and the University of Guelph in Canada said in a 21-day daily experience study of 44 long-term couples, individuals higher in sexual communal strength engaged in daily sexual interactions for approach goals, and in turn, reported high levels of daily sexual desire.
"Communal relationships" refers to giving to a partner based on need without the expectation of direct reciprocation, where exchange relationships involve giving with the expectation that similar benefits will be returned or tit-for-tat.
"Sexual communal strength is communal motivation in the specific domain of sexuality -- so a motivation to meet a partner's needs without the expectation of direct reciprocation," Muise told United Press International.
Sexual communal strength also buffered against declines in sexual desire over a four-month period of time. These associations held after controlling for general communal strength, relationship satisfaction, sexual frequency, age and whether or not the couples had children, the study said.
In other words, those who put the needs of their partner ahead of their own and put the relationship ahead of their own needs, ended up having higher intimacy and more desire for sex.
The findings are scheduled to be published in the May issue of Social Psychological and Personality Science.

Nick Young was willing to veto his no-trade clause and accept a deal to only two teams, with the Los Angeles Clippers being one of them. So when the Washington Wizards shipped him to one his hometown teams at the trade deadline, Young, a former standout at Southern California, could only describe it as "a dream come true."
"We was losing and it was a tough situation," Young said. "We kind of felt it in the air something was going to happen. To be here in the atmosphere of winning is a different feeling. I have to adjust fast. Washington wasn't going to be in the playoffs. I had to cancel some plans going into the offseason."
The Clippers (25-18) have the fourth-best record in a wide-open Western Conference, but have enough talent in all-stars Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to give Young his first taste of the postseason since his first season with the Wizards.
"My rookie year, it was a crazy atmosphere," Young said. "Even though I didn't get a chance to play that much, just being there, seeing it, I always wanted that feeling. I always wanted to play in something like that. The opportunity is here and I just have to take advantage."
Since the Wizards lost in six games to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2008, Young was a part of teams that went 77-210 and had developed into a nightly punch line on ESPN, with a seemingly endless blooper reel. Young had a few moments this month, with him losing the ball over the stanchion in a win over the Los Angeles Lakers, dribbling himself dizzy and falling in San Antonio and having another layup attempt turned into a turnover when Dallas guard Rodrigue Beaubois stole the ball from him while in the air.
"It was tough because every other night, it was 'Not top 10.' We was the laughing stock," Young said. "It was frustrating. It can cause tension between players and everything. We needed a new look. This was great."
Back home, Young won't have the challenges most newly traded players have of trying to find his way around town. But he will have to adjust to calling Staples Center home. "It's different. I am usually just coming here as a visitor. One game and I'm out. I've got to adjust to knowing that I am not leaving right now after this."
Young was the Wizards' leading scorer last season and the second-leading scorer this season and already knows what his role will be for the Clippers. They have struggled for an answer at shooting guard since Chauncey Billups went down with a ruptured Achilles' tendon last month. Young will likely battle and eventually replace former Wizard Randy Foye as Paul's backcourt mate.
"Somebody that can take the pressure off Chris Paul and Blake. With me knocking down shots, the lane will open up," said Young, who averaged 16.6 points for the Wizards.
Young also believes being on the Clippers will give him a chance to change his reputation and dispel some notions about his game. "I don't get so much credit for my defense. I am an offensive threat, but I can play 'D' with the best of them," he said.
Young was filled with angst in New Orleans on Thursday, as he felt a move was going to be made, but wasn't certain that Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld was going to trade him to a place where he actually wanted to go.
"Going to shootaround, I didn't know whether to take my pregame nap or pack my stuff up and get ready to go. It was a crazy atmosphere. I knew something was going to happen, but I didn't really think this was happening," Young said. "It is a great feeling. Coming back to family, playing for a great team, a contender, you can't wish for much better than that."

Web tier: servlets, JSP, Web frameworks: HELP: newbie with a simple JSF app layout question
HELP: newbie with a simple JSF app layout question (1 messages)
Hi, I have a (hopefully) simple question. I'm building an application with JSF. I have some basic "hello world" form and data table examples going. Now I'm ready to start building the web app. The web app's page is a standard layout like this: [header] [menu] [content] [footer] In the JSP world, I would do something like have a header.jsp and a menu.jsp and I would either: (a) have a single dynamically generated page that uses to include header.jsp and menu.jsp and dynamically fills in the content appropriately. or; (b) have separate pages for each part of the web app; say, listusers.jsp, createuser.jsp, edituser.jsp, and I would explicitly the header.jsp and menu.jsp in each individual file. My question is, what is the best approach to building such an application layout in JSF? Any help is greatly appreciated, legp

I am really very sorry. I dint get what you are trying to say =((!!
When we encounter an opening symbol why we push the corresponding closing symbol??
Printable View
How about this??Code:
while ( input != 13 )
if input is '(' or '{' or '[' or ')' or '}' or ']'
if input is '(' or '{' or '['
push it into the stack.
else if input is ')' or '}' or ']'
if stack is empty
report error.
pop cell from stack
if cell "matches input"
we are ok.
else if cell dont "matches input" or stack is empty
report error.
if the stack is not empty
report error.
Very good.
A couple of possible issues to be aware of, though:
1) The stopping condition should be on the null-terminator (0, the end of the string), not a newline (13).
2) The condition 'if cell "matches input"' would be incorrect, considering that if the input, for instance, is a closing bracket, then the cell should be an opening bracket. This is actually why it was suggested to push the 'closing' symbol, as it would make the checking logic a little simpler.
3) It's probably necessary to implement an 'is_empty' member function, or similar.
Everything else looks pretty close to being correct. Try to implement it in code now, and see what you come up with.

Charlie Webster's Challenge Day 3: a fire alarm, virus and car crash can't stop Charlie making it to Merseyside
Plus, don't miss your chance to win a signed Sky Bet Football League shirt!
By Charlie Webster - @CharlieCW
Last Updated: 28/01/14 4:31pm
From Sunday, January 26 to Saturday, February 1, she will be running a total of 250 miles and visiting 40 football clubs across England to help raise funds for Women's Aid and encourage football clubs, players and fans to unite in the fight against domestic violence.
She will be sending us a blog direct from her extraordinary challenge each day: Day 1 | Day 2
Day 3 - Bury, Bolton, Wigan, Oyster Martyrs, Canada FC, Everton, Liverpool
You couldn't make it up!
I'd just dropped off to sleep last night after my treatment when I was suddenly awakened at 1.10am by a fire alarm at my hotel. I was really confused and it took me about five minutes to realise it wasn't my 6am wake-up call.
Thankfully, it turned out to be a false alarm but it was quite funny to see everyone rushing down the corridors in their pyjamas - with me trying to catch up in my strawberry onesie!
It's been a day of surprises, to be honest.
If you caught the blog yesterday you'll know that I've been feeling sick, struggling to eat and finding it really hard to stay hydrated.
Well, today has been very similar - up to a point. It was a real effort just to make it to Bury so it was great to get a warm reception from the supporters there, not to mention some more donations.
I was joined on my opening leg to Bolton by a policewoman who had some real stories to tell about examples of domestic abuse she has come across in her work, and that reminded me why I'm putting myself through this.
I made it to the Reebok Stadium and I was feeling dizzy so a doctor checked me out and it turns out that I've had a virus since Friday or Saturday. I remember dripping with sweat before the Challenge began but I put it down to nerves; apparently it's a gastro-virus, which explains a lot!
On the plus side, I should be over it shortly. I only wish I could say the same about my strained knee tendon, which I'll now have to carry for the rest of the Challenge. There's nothing that can be done about it now because it needs the one thing I can't give it, which is rest.
I'm now running with ice packs on my knee to try and manage the pain and with a bit of luck I'll be able to have ice baths at Everton and Liverpool, because they are a big help.
Music is really helping me through the tough times. I was dragging my legs along the Bolton Road when YMCA came on - followed by Take That and Robbie - and suddenly I was dancing along.
My support crew is travelling in a convoy of four cars, one of which is a brand new car that I got for Christmas.
One of the crew had driven off to get some supplies when unfortunately it was involved in a little accident and sustained some damage.
Everyone is okay and, to be honest, material possessions are the last thing on my mind when I'm so focussed on my goal but, as I said, you couldn't make it up!
Please, please, please keep showing your support - it's helping me massively!

Second phase of low-cost TB drug trials soon
By Express News Service | Published: 26th November 2012 11:48 AM |
Last Updated: 26th November 2012 11:48 AM | A+A A- |
"Tuberculosis kills 1.7 million people every year in India. The medicines used to treat TB have remained the same from the last 50 years," said Samir K Brahmachari, director general, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
He delivered the 25th foundation day lecture of CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology(CCMB)at the CSIR-Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) here on Sunday.
His lecture, 'open source drug discovery on innovative model for affordable health care for all' threw light on the open source drug discovery (OSDD) programme initiated almost four years ago to combat the spread of TB in India by developing low-cost drugs. "This programme has people from different countries collaborating their efforts so that rapid developments can be made. Most likely we will begin the next phase of trials in the coming few months," mentioned Bhrahmachari.
Speaking at a press conference after the lecture, the founder director of the Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) said a proposal to provide Rs 600 crore for the next phase of the project was made to the government. "In the first phase, Rs 50 crore was provided under the 11th five year plan," he said. The project aimed to eradicate TB cases in the country by 2022.
Asked why drugs for TB were not developed, he said, "TB is a poor man's disease and multinational corporations are not willing to come forward to invest. India did make low-cost drugs. But there is still a need for better solutions."
"Cancer treatment costs a patient up to Rs 2,80,000 a month. However, the cost of drugs for HIV patients has come down drastically due to sustained efforts," said Brahmachari.

Score: Nationals 6, Marlins (ss) 5
Recap: Danny Espinosa hit two homers, including a walk-off shot to the opposite field in the bottom of the ninth. Rafael Soriano served up a solo shot in the seventh, Ross Detwiler allowed three runs in the eighth and Michael Gonzalez blew a save in the ninth but the Nats picked up the win.
Need to know: Doug Fister worked 3 2/3 strong innings in his first appearance in 20 days, and most importantly, he came out saying that he felt no abnormal discomfort in his arm. Fister might be on the way to putting his elbow inflammation behind him.
On deck: Sunday, at vs. Mets at Port St. Lucie, 1:10 p.m.
VIERA, Fla. - Pitching in a big league spring training game for the first time in 20 days, Doug Fister sure didn't look too rusty. In fact, he was so sharp that he went deeper into the game than his manager expected.
In his first Grapefruit League appearance since being shut down due to inflammation in his right elbow, Fister went 3 2/3 innings today against a split-squad Marlins lineup, allowing two hits with four strikeouts and a hit-batter.
Scheduled to go three frames or around 45 pitches, Fister completed the three innings in 40 pitches, so he was sent out for the start of the fourth. He got a groundout and then struck out Marcell Ozuna looking at a fastball, and manager Matt Williams came out to get him.
He finished having thrown 47 pitches, 32 for strikes.
Fister looked, well, like we would expect him to look, even given the long absence due to the elbow issue.
He located his sinker down in the zone, and got a 6-4-3 double play ball, as well as three more groundouts. He showed off some sharp off-speed pitches, getting Jeff Mathis swinging at a curveball to end the second inning and notching another swinging strikeout of Juan Diaz on what looked like a changeup in the third.
We've yet to speak to Fister, so there's no way of knowing at this point how he felt physically. But he sure didn't look like he was dealing with any more elbow discomfort on the mound. And the fact that he was allowed to work into the fourth is a pretty good indication that he felt strong.
Williams said that he didn't care at all about Fister's results today, he just wanted him to get his innings in and feel good health-wise.
As I said, we don't know yet how he feels, but the results sure were impressive.
He'll have one more spring training start, likely Thursday against the Mets, and then the Nats will need to decide how to slot him into their regular season rotation.
The Nationals have a 1-0 lead going to the bottom of the fourth, after Jayson Werth brought in a run in the third on what was scored an E-9 with an RBI.
Marlins right fielder Reed Johnson dropped Werth's sinking liner, allowing Denard Span to trot home from third.
Wilson Ramos (single), Adam LaRoche (slap double) and Ian Desmond (single) join Span (single) in the hit column for the Nats so far.
Update: It's now a 4-4 game after eight, as back-to-back homers by Adam LaRoche and Danny Espinosa in the seventh were washed out by a sub-par eighth inning by Ross Detwiler.
LaRoche's homer flew out to the opposite field, while Espinosa's bomb - his first of spring - went out just to the right of the batter's eye in center.
Bryce Harper's double in the fourth was his second extra-base hit of spring. This homer from Espinosa was his third extra-base knock.
Chris Young followed Fister with 2 1/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts, but Rafael Soriano allowed a run on an Ozuna bomb of a homer in the seventh, and then Detwiler served up three runs in the eighth.
Detwiler, making his second relief appearance since being told he'll start the season in the bullpen, gave up two walks and two hits (one of them a bunt single, the other a two-run double off the bat of Donovan Solano). On the Solano double, Harper tried to throw out Jake Marisnick at the plate from 310 feet away, and he airmailed three cut-off men in the process.
That allowed Solano to move up to third on the throw, and he then came in on a sacrifice fly. You can bet Williams won't be happy with that.

Forced by her family into an engagement with a man she can never abide, Antigone Preston knows only a scandal will save her from a loveless marriage. But knocking a man down to the ballroom floor with her fists brings dangerous consequences. She may have ruined her reputation, but now she's endangered her heart…
The son of an earl and a career navy man, Captain William Jellicoe has no interest in the frivolities of London—and even less in the institution of marriage. But there's something steering him toward Antigone. He has never met anyone as brazen and unconventional as…himself. But will he risk it all for a woman who still has the breath of scandal hot on her lips?
Chapter Thirteen
Will had meant to be up early. He had meant to spend the quiet hours of the early morning working, writing the letters necessary to bolster his chances of securing the preferments for being reassigned to a ship. And to casually be available if Preston had decided to accept his brother's invitation to hunt. Yet, despite his best intentions, he made another unfortunately late start of it. The night had seen him staring at the ceiling wide awake at two o'clock in the morning, and dead asleep through the breakfast hour.
But at least this night, he had had the vision of the deliciously kissable Preston to ponder instead of the ghosts of lost shipmates who habitually haunted his waking dreams.
When Will finally awoke to find the morning half gone, he splashed the sleep from his face, and wandered through the seemingly empty house until he found James hard at work in the estate office.

Former England international Alan Shearer says the heat and humidity in Manaus, where England will play their group games in the World Cup in Brazil, will be tough for the players.
He tipped the team to reach the quarter-finals of the tournament but doubted they could win it. The former Newcastle striker thinks low expectations can improve the results.
He said, ''It's the first time in a long time the expectations for us aren't huge, which is a change, that might help us''.

Kellan Lutz Earns $200K for a Bulgarian Dog Shelter
Here's a feel-good, heartwarming story that ups actor Kellan Lutz (who, BTW, is not dating our girl Miley Cyrus) to husband material. He helped earn $200,000 for a local dog shelter while filming in Bulgaria.
Upon seeing abandoned pooches wandering the streets of Sofia, where there are no regulations in place about how locals are to care for their pets, animal lover Lutz knew he had to do something.
So he drafted the cast and crew of his film 'The Legend of Hercules' to help his efforts to aid the canines while they shot the film in the country last year. We lurve that he sprang into action.
Lutz said, "There [are] no laws [in Bulgaria] against what you do with your pets so a lot of people get dogs and… there's strays everywhere and it breaks my heart how un-taken care of they are and there's this amazing organization that would rescue the dogs."
The dog shelter he spoke of is a no-kill facility and the cast did its part to support it.
Lutz said, "They hold 500 dogs in this small facility and they don't euthanize. So Renny [Harlin, director] and Gaia [Weiss, co-star] and all of the cast from 'Hercules,' we decided to help out and we'd go there on our off days and walk the dogs. We even named one Hercules, and someone in Dublin, I believe, bought Hercules from them. We also raised over $200,000 for this place."
Nice work, Lutz and co.

Two Kenworth T660 Tractors with ISX12 G Engines for Texas
FedEx Freight has taken delivery of two Kenworth T660 tractors, liquefied natural gas-fueled. The trucks, believed to be the first LNG vehicles for FedEx in North America, have pre-production ISX12 G natural gas engines – the new, 400-horsepower over-the-road powerplant from Cummins Westport, Inc. The ISX12 G will be available for regular sale in limited numbers in 2013.
The LNG-fueled T660s were shown to investors and lenders at FedEx headquarters in Memphis on October 9.
"We have been looking forward to the limited beta release of the new Cummins 12L gas-only engine and we are proud to be among the first to receive these new tractors," FedEx Freight safety, fleet maintenance and facility VP John Smith said there. "This is the first engine powerful enough to meet most of our needs that is gas-only," Smith said. "In other words, it does not require diesel or diesel after-treatment to operate.
Dallas Has the Infrastructure
"During our testing phase, the LNG tractors will be 'slipseated' so they are actually used in two road schedules per day, logging nearly 1,000 miles per day," Smith said. "This will allow us to quickly and thoroughly test the new engines and to determine if they perform adequately in our duty cycle.
"Natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel, which provides an environmental benefit through lower greenhouse gas emissions. We're excited about the potential, and are committed to thoroughly evaluating the technology to determine if it's a good fit for our fleet."
The two new Kenworth tractors are to be formally unveiled – at which time they will enter trial service – at a media event in Dallas on November 1. The Dallas area, says a FedEx spokesman, "has the infrastructure in place that will support our refueling needs."

did you install Cios 36, 37, and 249?
Hi All!
I have a strange problem. Tried to google this but could not find anything related, or at least I didnt understand.
I can install WADs and playing games as a channel on my wii without no problem. When I burn DVDs and try to run them with Wii Gator it keeps saying NO DVD error. I also tried loading the disc by using GeckoOS, still same error.
I used Veribatim DVD-R s and CloneDVD software for burning ISOs.
I was first on 3.4E and downgraded to 3.2E by following these steps:
Using the "Homebrew Channel", opened "WAD Manager 3" and installed "IOS16-64-v257-prod.wad".
Then using the "Homebrew Channel", opened "Custom WM" and installed the "cios_fix.wad". Using the "Homebrew Channel", opened "IOS Downgrader" and finished installation. Using the "Homebrew Channel" again, opened "Install Shop IOS51" and patched the fix.
After all these steps I can run WAD Manager3 as a channel and install WADs without any problem.
I also used "AnyRegion Changer" to downgrade 3.2 later. When I check my settings on Wii, it is 3.2E now.
But no DVDs yet..What could be the answer for this problem? Any ideas?
did you install Cios 36, 37, and 249?
No, I didnt install.. These are all what I did so far. Should I install those too?
The tutorial I referred does not mention anything about these installations?
Cios 36 is needed to run gamma and many other homebrew apps
Cios 249 helps it
and Cios 37 is more or less 3.3
Thanks commander
I will install those versions and try again..
I will also update the tutorial that I followed as soon as I ended up with a result.
I just wanted to make sure that I will install these files below.
1- CIOS36_rev5-64-v1042.wad
2- cIOS_249-rev6_rr.wad
3- cIOS37_rev3-Installer.dol
For installation of CIOS37; some says IOS37-64-v2070.wad needs to be placed on the root of SD. Do i need to do this?
Thank you for your help and time.
yes it goes in the root
Hi again,
Thanks for the tips, but could not succeeded..Followed instructions available on Instructables - Make, How To, and DIY later on. It just worked, thank you for your help.

Lebanon planning 20-year eurobond issue
The Lebanese government is planning to sell a 20-year sovereign eurobond, its longest ever, in a deal that will gauge the degree of international investment community's appetite for Lebanese risk.
The government's plans were revealed August 21, when the finance ministry announced that it had selected investment banks Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (MSDW) to co-lead the issue. Ministry officials suggested the issue would likely occur in September, reported Lebanon's Daily Star.
Bankers and officials have yet to comment on the size of the issue, which will be denominated in U.S. dollars and placed mostly with U.S. and European institutions. This will mark Lebanon's third eurobond issue thus far in 2000. Parliament has mandated the issuance of up to $1.5 billion worth of new foreign debt for the current year.
In late June, Lebanon issued $500 million of five-year debt to roll over a maturing $400-million eurobond. It later marketed an additional $250 million from a 10-year eurobond that initially was issued in September 1999.
The planned eurobond issue fits into the government's strategy of replacing costly, short-term domestic debt with less costly, longer-term foreign borrowing. Finance Minister Georges Corm has repeatedly promised to increase the proportion of public debt that Lebanon finances externally to 35 percent, from its present rate of 25 percent. Twelve months ago, the government was paying interest of over 16 percent to holders of two-year T-bills—then longest-dated form of domestic debt. In comparison, it could issue five-year dollar Eurobonds at a rate of merely 8.625 percent.
This interest rate gap has, however, narrowed significantly over the past year. The average yield on two-year T-bills fell almost two percentage points last autumn to its current level of 14.14 percent, while Lebanon paid a 10.25 percent coupon on last September's 10-year U.S. dollar Eurobond. Moreover, political uncertainty in the country's south might scare away potential investors, thus adding an extra premium to Lebanese debt.
The main buyers of the 20-year issue would likely be institutional investors in the United States and European pension funds, which will demand a higher risk premium than local Lebanese banks. The interest premium will likely be set close to the present 5.7 percent yield on US 30-year T-Bills.
It should be noted that ratings agency Standard & Poor's has threatened to downgrade Lebanon ranking by the end of the year.
CSFB and Morgan Stanley both have previous experience in the Lebanese bond market. They were joint lead managers of a $400 million, 10-year eurobond last September, of which roughly one-third was placed with US institutions. – (Albawaba – MEBG).

First make sure your family has an escape route planned, then figure out a spot where everyone can meet should you get separated. Secondly, have an out-of-state contact that everyone can call and "check-in" should you get separated and can't get to the meeting point.
Vaught also suggests signing up for "Code Red" alerts on your cell phone and email so you can know when a disaster is on the way.
Tune into the FOX 31 News at 10:00 PM for more tips on how to stay safe during a disaster.

Public invited to Aberdeens Mandela memorial
The citizens of Aberdeen are being invited to remember Nelson Mandela at a special memorial service on Sunday 25 May at the Kirk of St Nicholas Uniting, Union Street.
Aberdeen Lord Provost George Adam hopes that people of all faiths will join him at the celebration of the life of the former President of South Africa, who died on 05 December 2013.
The inter-faith service will begin at 11am with a call to worship by Rev Stephen Taylor, minister of the Kirk. This will be followed by readings from Hebrew and Christian scriptures and an address by Aberdeen City Councillor Barney Crockett, a former Chief Executive of GREC (Grampian Racial Equality Council) and Tommy Campbell, regional industrial organiser with UNITE trade union, who was heavily involved in the Aberdeen anti-apartheid movement.
Elected members, people from Aberdeen's African community and representatives from the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University will attend and there will also be musical performances from pupils of Aberdeen City Music School and piper Calum Brown of Cults Academy.
The Lord Provost said: "Nelson Mandela is a name which will be remembered for generations. He was a true global icon whose legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of those who fight for freedom, equality and justice across the world. Aberdeen has a great history of support and compassion for people of nations who do not enjoy the same rights and freedoms that we do. This service will celebrate a life which should be an inspiration to us all."
The service is due to finish at 12.30pm approximately.
On 29 November 1984, Nelson Mandela was admitted as a Free Burgess and Guild Brother of the City and Royal Burgh of Aberdeen at a ceremony in the Cowdray Hall. The South African government would not allow Mandela and his wife Winnie to travel to Scotland to accept the awards in person and, as a consequence, the Burgess Diplomas were accepted by Solly Smith on behalf of Nelson Mandela and by Mrs Adelaide Tambo on behalf of Winnie Mandela.
The Freedom of the City of Aberdeen was awarded, "in recognition of the protracted persecution which he has endured and the example which he has set the whole world in his fight for freedom in opposing the evil of apartheid in his native land of South Africa".
At the ceremony, Lord Provost Henry E Rae said: "The people of the City of Aberdeen, through their City Council, are today conferring their highest and most prestigious award the Freedom of the City to an outstanding leader of the oppressed people of South Africa, Nelson and his wife, Winifred Nomzamo, a no less dedicated fighter for freedom, and leader in her own right".
A copy of the Proceedings was sent to Nelson and Winnie Mandela on 30 January 1985. A reply was received from Ismail Ayob and Associates of Johannesburg, acting on behalf of Mr and Mrs Nelson Mandela in which deep appreciation was expressed to Aberdeen and the fact that the Mandelas were overwhelmed by the support from the city.
Nelson Mandela was able to attend a joint ceremony in the City Chambers, Glasgow on 09 October 1993, where he received a freedom casket and scroll from the people of Aberdeen.

Gomez struck four times, alongside a brace by Arjen Robben and a further strike by Thomas Muller to quickly wipe out the visitors' 1-0 first-leg advantage and send the Bavarian giants into the quarter-finals, on the back of the biggest-ever margin of victory in a Champions League knockout clash.
Bayern came flying out of the gates, and needed only 11 minutes to bring the tie level on aggregate. Robben had already seen two chances go begging in the opening exchanges, but made no mistake at the third time of asking, latching on to Muller's deflected shot to finish from close range.
The hosts stormed down the field immediately after the restart, but Yann Sommer was on hand to twice deny Gomez, first blocking his cheeky close range backheel, then getting down well to parry his shot at the near post.
The Basel keeper's heroics in the first-leg had kept his side in the tie and it was proving to be the same story again, as he was called into action once more to deny Muller from a corner with a diving save just after 20 minutes.
However, Bayern were given a scare five minutes before half time after a rare attack by the visitors saw Alexander Frei volley a long cross by namesake Fabian just over from close range.
It proved to be nothing more than an aberration, and the home side doubled their advantage a few minutes later when Ribery's ball from the right was volleyed home with precision by Muller at the near post.
There was still time before the break for Bayern to add a third, after Holger Badstuber's cutback from Toni Kroos' free-kick fell right into Gomez's path a yard or two from goal.
If Basel were hoping to make a recovery in the second half, their hopes were quickly dashed five minutes after the restart by Gomez, who showed superb athleticism to sidefoot Franck Ribery's cross home on the volley.
Gomez completed his hat-trick on the hour mark after another brilliant piece of play on the left flank by Ribery, whose jinking run past Markus Steinhofer and teasing cross left the German striker with a simple header from inside the six yard area.
The Ribery-Gomez combination came up trumps once again in the 67th minute, the former again beating Steinhofer with ease before cutting back towards the latter, who finished into the top corner with aplomb.
Robben got the seventh nine minutes before the end, picking up substitute Bastian Schweinsteiger's pass to round Sommer and complete a perfect evening for Bayern at the Allianz Arena.
After this performance, the Bavarian giants head into the last eight on a high and look a daunting prospect for any side in the quarter-final draw, which takes place on March 16.

Is one seat in the U.S. Senate this important to Democrats and Republicans? So essential that the president will set terrorists free to aid his party's candidate and Republicans will ignore vital needs to improve their candidate's chances?
That's the question reasonable Americans must be asking themselves in the wake of the Puerto Rican clemency brouhaha.
Was it Hillary Clinton's still unofficial Senate bid in New York that prompted President Clinton to offer freedom to 16 Puerto Ricans convicted of being part of bombings and other acts of terrorism that killed six people and maimed scores of others?
Is it an attempt to embarrass the president and cripple his wife's chances to win that is motivating Republicans to demand White House documents and call for an investigation of the president's actions?
It depends on who you ask. Democrats will say the president acted out of compassion. Republicans will say they are looking for justice.
Meanwhile, the American people grow more cynical about politics, turn their backs on the voting booth and concede the control of their government to lobbyists, special interest groups and those with the kind of money necessary to buy influence.
Whatever his motives, President Clinton was wrong to offer clemency to 16 members of the FALN, a leftist group that from 1974 to 1983 launched 130 bomb attacks on U.S. civilian and military targets in a deadly campaign to establish a separate Puerto Rican nation.
Setting these terrorists free -- some of whom still refuse to renounce the use of violence to achieve their goal of independence, an objective supported by only 4 percent of Puerto Ricans -- sends the unmistakable message that America is soft on terrorism, leaving all of us more vulnerable to future attacks.
Worse yet, rightly or wrongly, other radical political activists are likely to believe that if they have a bloc of sympathetic voters to use as a bargaining chip, they can commit murder and mayhem and get away with it.
Several leaders in law enforcement have criticized the president's decision, and even the man Hillary Clinton supposedly wants to replace, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, said the clemency move was a mistake.
But as wrong or stupid or politically motivated as he may have been, Clinton was within his legal rights as president to grant clemency to the Puerto Rican nationalists.
Given that fact, the motives of Republican leaders in calling for investigations are suspect. The president's political opponents have every right to question his judgment and criticize his decision. But beyond an initial round of reactions, pursuing the issue further smacks of the kind of crass politics the Republicans attribute to the president.
By setting convicted terrorists free, Clinton made a grievous error that may come back to haunt us. He deserves to be roasted by his critics.
But our leaders in Washington have other important business to attend to, and squandering time, money and energy in an attempt to discredit Hillary Clinton is not in the best interest of the American people.
Not only does it divert attention from genuine needs, it nurtures the cynicism a growing number of voters harbor toward politicians and government.
Americans are fed up with this nonsense. The political shenanigans of our leaders are an insult to the intelligence of people who see right though their transparent charades.
This country desperately needs leaders of character and conviction. As the 2000 presidential race moves into high gear in the coming months, the candidate who demonstrates those qualities will attract the kind of support needed to win the White House.

A major accomplishment this year as your State Senator was the historic two percent property tax cap Governor Andrew Cuomo and the legislature passed this year.
After 40 years of talking about holding the line on property taxes, legislators from both sides of the aisle worked with the governor to provide taxpayers with some degree of relief from one of the biggest problems facing New York State's economic recovery.
This week, the Senate appointed me to serve on a new bipartisan task force on government efficiency that will help investigate and identify wasteful spending in state government.
As any local official will tell you, cutting waste and holding the line on property taxes is just one part of the solution. The other part is reducing the costly state-imposed regulations and requirements that Albany has spent decades imposing on local and county governments and school districts which have resulted in New Yorkers paying among the highest taxes in the nation.
That's why I helped pass historic mandate reform that repealed over $125 million in unfunded costs to local governments and school districts. It's also why I voted to reject dozens of new mandates that were originally included in the state budget that would have raised costs to school districts and local governments.
I also helped pass a reform that I think will pay off with big dividends to hard pressed Central and Northern New York property taxpayers — the creation of a Legislative and Executive Mandate Relief Council with sweeping powers to repeal or modify the most burdensome mandates that are identified by local governments.
Last week, I appointed nine current and past local government and school district leaders to serve on a special, nine-member, working group to help me identify mandates that should be repealed or reformed. I will bring the group's recommendations to the statewide Council to make sure the unique needs of Oswego, Jefferson and St. Lawrence County are considered by the statewide council.
By bringing together a cross-section of local government leaders from across my Senate district, we can help Albany realize there are real measures we can take to help local governments and school districts reduce their operating costs.
I would like to publicly thank the members of my working group, co-chaired by Town of Clayton Supervisor Justin Taylor and St. Lawrence County Legislator Kevin Acres.
The members include Peter FitzRandolph, the former Finance Committee chair of the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators; Scott Gray, Jefferson County Legislator; William Lynch, Superintendent of Fulton City Schools; Jamie Moesel, Superintendent of South Jefferson Central Schools; Vicki Mullen, Oswego Town Supervisor; Peggy Manchester, Mayor of the Village of Lacona; and Jack Zeh, President of the Heuvelton School Board.
I invite you to offer your ideas to the members of my working group.
By working together, we can find ways to help identify and reform the unfunded mandates that have fueled the unprecedented spending sprees at all levels of government that have cost the Empire State so many businesses, so many jobs, so many families and so many of our most precious resource – our young people.

Geert Wilders, founder of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), told Sky News: "I hope that after the elections in May ... Mr Farage and my party ... can work together because I know one thing: if we really want to be a good advocate of all those millions of voters (who) cast their vote not against Europe but against the European Union, that they would benefit more if we were able to overstep our shadows and work together."
The 50-year-old politician is the subject of a fatwa and death threats from al Qaeda affiliates for his comments on Islam, has already proposed a deal with Ms Le Pen, who runs the Front National, to unite their parties.
Both propose reigning in immigration, leaving the single currency and taking their respective countries out of the EU altogether, while continuing to access the single market.
It is an uncompromising position which appears to have chimed with many voters.
Polls in France and the Netherlands put the parties in either first or second place of those intending to vote in this month's parliamentary elections.
Ms Le Pen and Mr Wilders have also tried to convince other populist, EU critical parties around Europe to join forces including Vlaams Belang in Belgium, Finland's Finns Party and the relatively new Alternative for Germany.
All are expected to make significant gains in this year's elections, although polls across Europe suggest left-leaning pro-EU parties are expected to edge a small majority.
The same surveys suggest a move to the extremes from the centre ground after years of recession and austerity brought about by the global recession and sovereign debt crisis.
Mr Wilders has been mired in controversy again after he asked supporters at a rally in March whether they wanted "more or fewer" Moroccans in the Netherlands.
When the audience started chanting "fewer, fewer," the PVV leader said "we will take care of that".
That remark prompted several people to leave the party and 5,000 complaints to the public prosecutors accusing him of inciting racial hatred.
Mr Wilders said: "I believe that our culture which is based on Christianity and Judaism and humanism is better than the Islamic culture.
"I've nothing against the people but I have a problem with the culture. I'm not afraid of that.
"In the world today, in the Netherlands today, Europe today, you pay a very high price to say that: you get taken to court you get a fatwa, you get called a bigot and a racist. Once again it's not true."
The UKIP leader has said he is "not interested" in the offer of joining forces with Mr Wilders.
Mr Farage already chairs an anti-EU grouping in the European Parliament called the Europe of Freedom and Democracy, and it is clear he sees any association with Mr Wilders or Ms Le Pen as potentially damaging.
But the UKIP leader may face renewed pressure to strike deals with the biggest EU critical parties if he wants to make waves in Brussels and Strasbourg.

The building has not hosted a major-league ball game since Sept. 29, 2004, when the Montreal Expos lost 9-1 to the Florida Marlins in their final game before moving to Washington.
"It will seem strange going to work at Olympic Stadium again," said Doucet, while watching the Blue Jays play the Houston Astros here on Thursday afternoon.

Yesterday I was able to solve my missing marriage problem by translating one of these buggers.
At least reading these land records is a lot quicker than reading the 60+ pages of my "land records," AKA Wells Fargo Home Mortgage HUD.
Yay! I have a solid Case Study that I've solved and written a draft for! Now I just need to make it a whole lot better by writing and citing it up, and continuing to search for records and fixing my shabby translation. Sounds like I am going to be doing this for a reallllly long time.
But, hey, it's on my direct ancestral line, for my fourth great grandpa Wenzel Brosch. It feels awesome to put in so much time and effort on my own family research. It's just very meaningful to me.
I do miss client work, though. I think that 8ish month stint I had taking clients taught me two very important things: I can do it, and I really want to do it. It's almost like my end goal. I know, though, that I should become a CG first, and that because my available time to spend on genealogy is currently so limited, I have to prioritize. I choose certification first, business and clients later. I know that it will make me a much, much better researcher to have the experience of successfully passing this test behind me. This is mainly because the creation of this portfolio is the teaching.
To me, becoming BCG certified feels like a rigorous college course (much more rigorous than some of the ones I took, honestly!) in which the entire semester is creating a thing which determines whether you pass or fail. Dude, I would have worked a lot harder in some of my courses if everything I did had bearing on whether or not I passed or failed! I didn't take any difficult pass/fail courses; only super insanely easy ones where your attendance determined whether you passed. So, I don't know with any certainty that this comparison is valid, but I imagine it would be similar to some of those rigorous nursing or pre-med courses, or even board exams, where it is literally all pass/fail.
:::shudder::: I'm so, so, so glad to not be a doctor. I'll stick to dead people.

Wednesday, September 15, 1999 Published at 11:15 GMT 12:15 UK
Business: The Economy
Jobless rate plunges
Unemployment in the UK fell in August to the lowest level since March 1980.
The number of people out of work and claiming benefit fell by 22,300 to 1.2m, or 4.2% of the workforce.
It is the sixth month in a row that the jobless total has dropped. The Office for National Statistics says that unemployment is still on a downward trend.
The broader measure of unemployment, preferred by the government, the ILO rate, also fell to a new low of 5.9% for the three months to July, compared to 6.2% in the previous three months.
The ILO rate includes people who are not eligible for unemployment benefit but are looking for jobs.
Forecasters were surprised by the strength of the labour market.
Union and industry leaders are urging the Bank of England not to use the figures as another reason to raise interest rates.
TUC General Secretary John Monks said: "This is more good news on jobs and pay and no basis for any further increases in interest rates."
Average earnings
Economists and the stock market will be looking closely at the average earnings figures, which could indicate inflationary pressures.
Average earnings rose at an annual rate of 4.6% in July, compared to 4.4% in June. But the government said that the figure in June had been boosted by bonus payments.
Wages and salaries in the booming service sector are rising at around 5% a year, however, compared to only 3.4% for manufacturing.
The statistics on pay are closely watched by the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee and any sharp rise in earnings could herald further hikes in interest rates.
Neil Parker, senior economist at the Royal Bank of Scotland, said inflation fears should not be overplayed.
"You could see this as pointing to inflationary pressure rising and more rate rises, but we don't believe that is necessarily the case ...manufacturing employment fell by 154,000 in the three months to July. The Bank has got to look at that and at manufacturing unit wage costs, which rose by just 0.5%. That does not exactly suggest there is inflationary pressure."
But other economists were more concerned.
"The economy keeps generating loads of jobs, unemployment continues to fall and going forward you have to feel there is going to be upward pressure on earnings growth," said Deutsche Morgan Grenfell economist Ciaran Barr.
More people in work
Meanwhile, the total number of people with jobs has reached a new high.
The number of people in work in the UK rose to a record 27.4m in three months to July, 54,000 higher than the previous three months and almost 300,000 higher than the same period a year earlier.
Employment minister Andrew Smith said: "I strongly welcome the fact that more people than ever before are in jobs, with unemployment down yet again and still more vacancies becoming available.
"This vindicates the government's policies for jobs, the New Deal, and making work pay, and reflects progress in creating the right conditions for employment."

Human needs and utility maximization
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide alternatives to the economic man image of human behavior and incorporate these alternative images which are based on motivational needs into utility analysis. Design/methodology/approach - Empirically derived psychological variables define the individual's personality type in terms of an altruistic or non-altruistic orientation. These variables are incorporated into the individual's utility function, and an analysis is made of utility maximization based on human needs. Findings - Behavioral and motivational characteristics of individuals are relatively constant and are a function of the underlying personality traits of the individuals. Empirical support is offered for these characteristics, they are incorporated into the individual's utility function, and an analysis if performed on the interactions between individuals. Originality/value - This paper not only goes beyond the economic man image of human behavior to analyze altruistic and selfish behavior but also analyzes the utility functions of both potential donors and recipients.

Oil production in the Gulf of Mexico has largely come to a halt as Hurricane Isaac neared oil platforms.
Prices at the pump have already increased as 2 million to 3 million barrels of oil production were lost as a result of the closure.
AAA says it's still too early to tell how long the Gulf's oil production will be delayed.
"Only after Isaac passes through the Gulf will experts be able to asses any damages and determine when oil production can resume," AAA spokeswoman Jessica Brady said. "Whether Gulf oil production resumes today or later this week, motorists are likely to see gas prices increase into the Labor Day holiday."
In the past week, the national average has jumped 4 cents to $3.756. According to AAA's Fuel Gauge Report, Georgia's average sits at $3.72 – up 2 cents from Monday and 7 cents from a week ago.
Gas prices in the Augusta area average $3.53 per gallon according to AAA, Aiken County averages are not provided by AAA, but GasBuddy.com shows most of the county's prices just below $3.50.
Before Isaac loomed, prices were already headed up. Factors such as increased sanctions against Iran and wildfires in California had worked to push prices up since July, when prices were near $3.

Credit unions can make much better use of Project Differentiation
ARLINGTON, Va. - Completing Project Differentiation's "statement of commitment" can help a credit union focus its attention on its service to members and tell the world exactly what it is doing, said Dick Ensweiler. Ensweiler is president of the Texas Credit Union League, chairman of CUNA's Governmental Affairs Committee and is incoming chairman of CUNA. Expanding on his previous comments to a meeting of CUNA governmental and communications specialists, Ensweiler said he was focusing on making sure that every Texas credit union completed a statement of commitment and sent it in. Creating and recording a so-called "statement of commitment" is the fundamental goal of Project Differentiation. He said that now, when the issue of what credit unions do for low-income people is getting a lot of attention, Project Differentiation provides credit unions with a way of "telling their story" to the broader credit union world as well as the world at large. He noted it could be very useful for credit unions which had relatively recently moved to a community charter since it could help them make the transition from being a credit union with a membership focus on employee groups to one which seeks to serve an entire community. Ensweiler also noted that the statement of commitment helps credit unions keep employees reminded of the mission of the organization, as well as help them train new employees who might have come from banks and other financial institutions which didn't have a credit union membership focus. "With the statement of commitment you can sit a new employee down and have them read how this financial institution is different from ones where they might have worked before," he said.
