The year 2009 proved to be one of considerable challenges for Peru. The global recession had a marked impact on the country's economy, which was heavily based on the export of mineral and agricultural products. The economy slowed significantly during the final quarter of 2008 and the first half of 2009 as foreign demand for these commodities slumped. In an effort to counter the effects of the slowdown, the administration of Pres. Alan García worked to implement a financial stimulus package of up to $13.2 billion. The central bank also slashed its benchmark lending rate during the year to a record-low 1.25%. These measures—along with the expectation that export demand would recover—led most analysts to conclude that Peru had weathered the financial crisis better than many other countries in Latin America and had positioned itself for a relatively rapid economic rebound.
In addition to the economy, much attention in Peru was focused on the numerous protests that occurred, many of them related to the issues of land use and indigenous rights. The most notable of these was an indigenous uprising in the Peruvian Amazon region near Bagua Grande, some 1,400 km (850 mi) north of Lima. During the first week of June, members of indigenous groups opposed to two recently enacted laws allowing the country's rainforest to be opened to exploration and development blockaded highways and became involved in deadly clashes with police. The fighting claimed the lives of at least 24 protesters and 10 policemen. The political fallout from the violence was considerable. García was forced to admit that his government should have carried on consultations with the indigenous groups before promulgating the laws. Yehude Simon, who had been appointed prime minister in October 2008, resigned his post, as did several other members of García's cabinet, and on June 18 Congress rescinded the laws that had sparked the uprising.
Protests were also staged by the local populations in other parts of the Peruvian Amazon and in the Andean highlands, where many complained of government indifference regarding the destructive environmental impact of mining, logging, and other activities on these areas. In recent years local inhabitants had increasingly turned to strikes and demonstrations as a way to force their concerns to be heard. Issues they demanded the government address included deforestation that was ruining tribal hunting grounds, numerous oil spills that had contaminated rivers and water supplies, and widespread pollution that had been caused by smelting operations, especially in the highland region near the city of La Oroya.
On February 1 a free-trade agreement between Peru and the U.S. came into force. The two countries had signed the agreement in 2006, and García had pushed vigorously for its implementation. In addition to its pact with the U.S., Peru was also pursuing free-trade agreements with several other countries.
In April former president Alberto Fujimori, who had been extradited to Peru in 2007 to face a series of trials on charges ranging from corruption to human rights abuses, was found guilty of having authorized military death squads that carried out killings and kidnappings during his years in office (1990–2000). Fujimori was sentenced to 25 years in prison. In September he pleaded guilty to the remaining bribery and wiretapping charges against him and received an additional six years in prison. Many observers noted that by pleading guilty Fujimori avoided a trial in which some 60 witnesses—including many former government officials—were expected to testify against him and that the testimony could have proved politically damaging to his daughter, Keiko Fujimori, in Peru's upcoming 2011 presidential election. Keiko Fujimori, a member of Congress since 2006, had already declared herself a candidate and had stated publicly that she intended to pardon her father if she won the election.

'Despicable Me' Producer Developing 'Angry Birds' Movie for 2016
by Ethan Anderton
December 11, 2012
It's been over two years since we heard any news about Rovio Entertainment bringing their best-selling mobile game Angry Birds to the big screen, but if you thought that meant that project was dead, think again. A press release from Rovio has just announced that Despicable Me producer John Cohen will produce the adaptation of the game which sees a group of birds with various skills fighting an evil army of green pigs who have stolen their eggs. In addition, David Maisel, who was once the Chairman of Marvel Studios and producer of Iron Man, will executive produce this wholly unnecessary video game adaptation.
Don't get me wrong, Angry Birds was a fun game, and even the most recent Star Wars iteration is pretty entertaining. But when Angry Birds shirts, toys and more started showing up in Wal-Mart and all over the world, that's when I knew things had gotten out of hand. Yes, there's a bit of a story in the game, but do we really need to turn that into a 3D computer animated feature film looking to hit theaters in 2016? It just seems like overkill. Here's some standard publicity fluff from Cohen
"I'm so excited and honored to be working on this film with Mikael, David, and Rovio's incredibly talented game developers and artists. From both an entertainment and strategic perspective, Rovio is at the forefront of game innovation and is trailblazing terrific new ways for Angry Birds fans to interact with these characters. I've personally spent countless hours playing the Angry Birds games over the last few years, which I can now happily justify as research for the movie."
Perhaps he should have spent that time coming up with a more original idea for an animated film instead. In fact, Cohen has worked on disappointing animated films like the Ice Age franchise, Horton Hears a Who and Alvin and the Chipmunks, so it doesn't leave much hope for this to be all that great. Of course, the brand name will be enough to get parents to take their kids to theaters, and that's all Rovio Entertainment really cares about. As always, I would love to be proven wrong and have this turn into some kind of magical animated film, but right now, I'm more than a little skeptical. What do you think?

Caution needed.
Depending on where you live, those credit cards may still be showing on your credit report as a negative and may stillbe eligible for collection activity.
Since you said you are on social Security AND food stamps, I'd suggest the only card you might get is a secured card and it could be the only one you might be able to qualify for. But, getting food stamps is a clear indication that a credit card might not be a good idea. I'm on disability and do have to watch the funds carefully. You might want to think this idea over, okay?

text: Is there a certain body part of potential partners that can be a the make or break on whether you are attracted or not? I ask this because the wife Bunny has a big one. Smiles and teeth. If you dont have good teeth and a smile she just cant find attraction. It is one of the first things she looks for when we look at profiles. We pass so many by if she cant see a good smile. It is so important to her that once we had a couple that things went great online and we set up a meet. Once she saw his teeth in person all sexual intrest left her. So we are curious if there are others who have similar quirks, as Bunny calls it.

HOLLAND, Mich. -- A Michigan high school basketball team has won a state district championship a week after one of its star players collapsed on the court and died.
Fennville High erased a 10-point deficit to beat Covert High 51-48 Friday night for a Class C district title. The win improved the Blackhawks' record to a perfect 23-0.
Fennville won all three of its state tournament games after junior Wes Leonard collapsed shortly after scoring the winning basket in the team's regular season finale last week. Doctors say he died of a heart-related issue.
Fennville's Reid Sexton made two free throws to put the team up by three with 16.5 seconds left, and a desperation 3-point shot by Covert's Michael Smith missed with six seconds remaining.

The role of album art is a challenging one: to capture, in graphic terms, the essence of the music the record contains. Not only does compelling artwork sell albums, but also the very best adds depth to a record. The latter is an aspiration of local artist Daniel Peterson. Although his photography is exhibited by Elizabeth Leach Gallery, he has also collaborated on album art for The Planet The, the Blow, Plants, and 31Knots. Most recently, he shot covers for Panther's debut Secret Lawns (Fryk Beat) and YACHT's I Believe in You. Your Magic Is Real (Marriage Records). While the YACHT cover features a relatively straightforward shot of a white-gloved Jona Bechtolt wielding a wand as smoke rises, it is a metaphor for all the studio wizardry in Bechtolt's schizoid production. The Secret Lawns cover is even better. Peterson layered ghostly images of Charlie Salas-Humara (AKA Panther) striking angular poses as pieces of hay descend around him. With the new YACHT album due out next Tuesday, I talked to Peterson by email about these recent shoots.
MERCURY: How did you get involved with Charlie and Jona for those shoots?
PETERSON: They are friends of mine who I have worked with on creative projects in the past.
Were they your ideas or were they collaboratively conceptualized?
The YACHT record was all Jona and Jan Lankisch's ideas that I photographed. The Panther record was more of a collaboration with E*Rock. We rode bikes to Charlie's house, unannounced, on the windiest night of last year and threw hay from his neighbor's front lawn at him.
Do you enjoy working on album art?
I like working on record covers. It's a fun challenge trying to balance my aesthetic with the musicians' music and ideas. For the next one I have lined up, I am planning on doing all of the artwork myself and I think it will mostly be drawings.
Do you have any favorite album covers?
The other night I saw the record cover of Sun Bear's self-titled album and I liked it a lot. It was a huge bear standing in front of a glowing sun with hundreds of people inside of it. The drawing and collage work were incredibly detailed. But I don't think I have any favorite record covers. I don't think I have a favorite anything.

text: Well, first, there's no additional risk of crashes. The code won't ever *crash*, it will merely throw an exception, which can be caught by the standard exception handling computations. If your application requires high availability, you should be catching exceptions anyway, since they can arise from circumstances outside of the author's control. Second, GHC's IsString feature is not enabled by default. It requires the OverloadedStrings language extension to be enabled, which requires either an explicit pragma or a command-line flag. There is no risk in merely defining the instance, because users must opt in to use it. Third, the IsString instance is largely for convenience. It allows something like this code: --------------------------------------------------------------- name = case parseClark "{urn:foo}bar" of Just (ns, ln) -> Name ln ns Nothing Nothing -> error "string literal is incorrect" --------------------------------------------------------------- to be shortened to simply: --------------------------------------------------------------- name = "{urn:foo}bar" --------------------------------------------------------------- String literals are inherently untyped. There is no way to verify at compile-time that they are correct. IMO, it's better for the code to fail obviously (by throwing an exception) than quietly (by accepting the bad Name and doing something with it). Thus, I disagree that IsString instances should be total -- IMO, they should always throw an exception on invalid input, else it becomes difficult to notice typos without extensive testing. If you are truly concerned about your developers introducting errors via incorrect string literals, I have three suggestions: 1) Use the Name constructor explicitly. That's what it's for. You can guarantee that the contents of the various fields are exactly as you want them. 2) If you don't care about the prefix, you can write a simple constructor function: --------------------------------------------------------------- name :: String -> String -> Name name ns ln = Name (Data.Text.pack ln) (Just (Data.Text.pack ns)) Nothing --------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Since the exception is *always* thrown when the literal is invalid, even simple tests of the new functionality will discover the problem. You could even require the names themselves be tested, though that might be overkill.

2000 Honda Odyssey (8 Reviews)
I love my 2000 Honda odyssey. It has 292,754 miles and still running. Only have one issue and it's with the dash lights staying on followed by total loss of power. Hoping it's just the alternator. My odyssey has been a life saver and for it being 16 years old with high mileage and only having this one issue IM SOLD ON THE HONDA ODYSSEY!! My family wont own any other mini van.
I bought 2000 Odyssey brand new and I am totally satisfied. Got oil changes every 3-5 thousand miles and transmission oil changes every 15000 thousand miles on an average. I think the book suggests every 30000 miles. I was worried about transmissions going bad and so I got frequent transmission oils changed. Transmission is just fine even at 147000 miles. I have not change the Timing belt yet and book suggests I do at 105000. I know I am taking a risk and I will get it done soon and shopping around.
In electrical system, the LED lights behind the clock, and other places blew out. Very hard to replace so I just got used to without having them.
I always put Sams club gas. So the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter light came on which is no big deal, I think.
I used my odyssey for long trips, as a work horse truck hauling sofas, and once I hauled load of granite stones and I know that was foolish of me. AC is fine and I have not filled any freon.
Other than that tires, brakes, and regular maintenance. Hoping to get at least 200000, TouchWood.
It is not just a van but a light truck.

It is not just a van but a light truck.
From the day we bought this car in 2002 the doors didn't work right. To this day the doors stutter and fail to close half the time. The clock light never worked, either. The car seems to have lots of very expensive to fix flaws. Very unhappy with the van.
This car is the workhorse vehicle for the family. It's hauled kids, dogs, camping gear and pulled a U-Haul trailer from Oregon to Texas. We acquired our 2000 Odyssey in 2002 used with 35,000 miles. All in all it has been a great vehicle for us. The car is now 10 years old and we have driven it from Oregon to Texas and back 3 times now. Most of the repairs have been minimal and for things that have worn out due to age. The only thing that failed us was the transmission at about 98,000. We found out there was a class action lawsuit filed against Honda becuase the transmissions were failing in our model year betweem 96,000 and 102,000 miles. Sure enough, the transmission started to fail and we were lucky to have it happen in right in the middle of the 96K to 102K miles. Our Honda dealer in Beaverton, Oregon replaced the transmission at no cost except for the labor. I had to write a letter to Honda in order to be reimbursed for the labor portion of the repair. Last summer (2009) on our migration back to Oregon from Texas, we lost the air conditioning and the engine started to over heat in 90+ deg. weather. We made it to Colorado Springs with the heater running full on to keep the engine from overheating. The local Honda Dealership in Colorado Springs replaced the thermostat and talked me into a rear break job at the same time (we were actually due for brakes). We made it to Portland, Oregon, but the engine started to overheat again. The Honda Dealer in Beaverton, Oregon replaced the radiator and we were good to go. However, both repairs combined was about $1,200 (ouch!) For the most part our 2000 Odyssey has been a great car for us. We typically hold on to our cars for awhile. I have owned 2 other Hondas before this one, a 1992 Civic (which I sold in 2002 for half its original value) and a 1980 Accord hatchback. The only other quirky thing the Odyssey does is that the automatic sliding rear doors tend to be sluggish in extreme temperatures--usually under 30 deg. or over 80 deg. F.
Similar to Kathy, have owned this car since it was new. It has been a great van, a significant improvement from the Dodge Caravan it replaced, and is very comfortable on long trips. (especially those > 2 hours). A lot of flexibility: seven people can be seated comfortably OR the middle two bucket seats can be removed (would probably save some MPG if not using regularly) to carry (for instance) equipment, the third "magic" seat is heavy yet sturdy and folds into the back so the entire van behind the front bucket seats is flat...a 4'x8' could fit there. MPG between 18-25, nothing in its size is close, and horsepower is plentiful @ ~ 200! The salesperson recommended using premium gas every fifth fill-up or so...the manual says the van gets another 10 HP when you do. Oil filter is standard Honda (the same one fits my 1985 Accord). The only annoyances are minor: the tray in-between the front seats can sometimes be cumbersome to fold and unfold and the A/C is used to clear the characteristically-common (for Hondas) fogging up with inclement weather (with icy weather, it fogs and gets icy on the inside of the front window). I've never had automatic lights, so I don't miss having those. Overall, it's a comfortable touring vehicle and has a tight turning radius for its size.
The 2000 Odyssey rattles a lot in the front end. I have it checked everytime I get the oil changed and they can't find anything causing it. It drives me nuts.
I love the way it drives, my doors stick, the A/C is a little weak. I loke how much stuff I can cram into it for a trip!

Do Long‐Term Shareholders Benefit From Corporate Acquisitions?
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): TIM LOUGHRAN, ANAND M. VIJH
- Published: Apr 18, 2012
- Pages: 1765-1790
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1997.tb02741.x
Using 947 acquisitions during 1970–1989, this article finds a relationship between the postacquisition returns and the mode of acquisition and form of payment. During a five‐year period following the acquisition, on average, firms that complete stock mergers earn significantly negative excess returns of −25.0 percent whereas firms that complete cash tender offers earn significantly positive excess returns of 61.7 percent. Over the combined preacquisition and postacquisition period, target shareholders who hold on to the acquirer stock received as payment in stock mergers do not earn significantly positive excess returns. In the top quartile of target to acquirer size ratio, they earn negative excess returns.


text: i use a 1hbh but felt like hitting with 2 hands today and found out that can do it fairly effectively. Is it a bad idea to pull out the 2hbh in a match to junk my opponent? (the ball has a completely different trajectory depending on which one i use) or would it detract from the effectiveness of my go-to 1hbh? just curious if anybody else switches between the two depending on the circumstance. Thanks all.

To determine the angle of minimum deviation of a prism using a deviation graph.
Glass prism, drawing board, drawing pins, sheets of paper, cello tape, protractor and a pencil.
On increasing the value of the angle of incidence i, the angle of deviation ẟ first decreases to a minimum value and then increases.
1. Fix a sheet of paper on the drawing board with cello tape.
2. Place the glass prism and draw its boundary ABC.
3. Remove the prism from its place..
4. Mark a point O as shown in the figure and draw the normal NON' through O.
5. Draw a line XO such that the angle of incidence XON is 40 degrees.
6. Place the glass prism back to its original position.
7. Fix two pins along the line XO.
8. Looking through the other side AC of the prism, fix two more pins such that these two pins and the images of the previous two pins seem to be in a straight line.
9. Remove the pins and the prism and draw the refracted and the emergent rays OY and YZ.
10. Produce the incident ray forward and the emergant ray backward to get the angle of deviation ẟ.
11. Take four more observations with different values of angles of incidence each time.
12. Plot a graph between angle of incidence on the x- axis and the angle of deviation on the y – axis.
13. Determine the angle of minimum deviation from the graph.
1. The prism must be correctly placed on the out line for all the observations.
2. Pins must be vertical.
3. While viewing through the other end of the prism, the feet of the pins must be adjusted to form a straight line and not the heads.
The angle of minimum deviation is found to be ____

Comments about Amaco Lead-Free Dipping Glaze:
I love this glaze! I have a huge volume of Christmas orders to prepare and this dipping glaze is perfect for me. I am using the white and it is soft, clean and crisp. I only have to dip one time and the final product is absolutely beautiful!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Seriously, its mostly water. It was SO thin that dipping enough to get a decent coat only soaked the piece and still was not enough to actually work. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE WATER! Buy a reg. brushing glaze and add your own water to thin. I bought this to use in my art class, and was really disappointed, I poured off 1/4 the water in the bottle trying to get it to thicken a bit. I have 30 years experience in ceramics. I would say your best deal would be to buy powdered glaze and mix your own water in.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My friend, brother and I have been planning a trip to Europe in the spring. We are planning to visit Paris and would like to go a nice restaurant that serves French dishes (i.e. Duck Comfit, Coq au Vine etc).
We were informed that the French like their meat and vegetarian dishes are rare when going to a restaurant that serves traditional fare to tourists. My question is: Does any one know of a restaurant that serves traditional cuisine but offers some vegetarian options. We do not want to leave her out of this experience because this is her trip too!

A Vegetarian in Paris

Many (not al but many) French restauranteurs think a vegetarian does eat fish or seafood. So some places that say they are vegetarian friendly are not. But there are LOTS of ethnic restaurants that specialize in vegetarian dishes. Asian, North African, etc.
Or of course there are salads

Whoever informed you was misinformed- no problem at all finding vegetarian dishes in Paris restaurants. We have traveled with vegetarians several times in the last few years and never had a problem. If she is pescetarian the choices are even broader, but everywhere we ate had some things suitable for vegetarians, even if it was as simple as a green salad and pasta with butter and garlic or cheese sauce. Pizza is another option, and for lunch on the go or picnics there are always sandwiches that will suit (e.g., caprese.) For a treat that all will enjoy, visit the Marché des Enfants Rouges on rue de Bretagne in the 3rd, and in the back row find the stall where Alain makes a <<cornet>> which is a sort of wrap filled with luscious organic vegetables and fresh goat cheese.

Here are a bunch of vegetarian places you could all go to:
3 rue Danielle Casanova
75001 Paris
Tel: 01 42 61 17 67
With its stainless steel bar and furniture recalling Charles Eames, this sleek canteen welcomes a mixed crowd of fashionistas and office workers for a lunch of veggie burgers and fresh carrot-ginger juice.
La Passerelle
13 rue Saint Hubert
75011 Paris
Tel: 01 43 57 04 82
This former coffee machine factory has a bar-restaurant decorated with comby couches, a library, a fair trade shop. The food is so-so.
Le Potager du Marais
22 Rue Rambuteau
75003 Paris
Tel: 01 44 54 00 31
Average €20
Little bistro, laid-back atmosphere. Blackboard menu features the market's freshest ingredients; we enjoyed the avocado with seaweed and herring with beautifully cooked potatoes, then the hearty vegetable lasagne. Rich chocolate mousee.

75007 Paris
Tel: 01 45 41 47 33
Metro: Varenne
Monday - Friday 12:30 pm - 2 pm, 7:30 pm - 10 pm
Alain Passard abandoned meat in favour of a new haute cuisine based almost exclusively on vegetables and seafood. On the basis of a recent lunch, the movement will surely be influential. Sea urchins with nasturtium flowers, a delicate vegetable couscous and a brilliant dish of lobster sauteed in mustard with a garnish of Roscoff red onions. Brilliant stuff.
Restaurant Halku
63 rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud
75011 Paris
Tel: 01 56 98 11 67
Metro: Parmentier
Monday - Friday, noon - 2:30 pm 7 pm - 1030 pm. Saturday 7 - 10.30 pm Avg: FRF110.
Macrobiotic foods and spices in surprisingly harmonious ways. Pates marines (noodles with seaweed and toasted sesame seeds) and the coconut-scented tofu soup are meals in themselves. The chef works in an open kitchen and music creates a relaxed atmosphere.

Tel: 01 43 26 88 80
Metro: Cardinale-Lemoine
Tuesday - Sunday noon - 2.30 pm. 7 - 10:30 pm. Avg FRF130.
This homely and buzzing resto is proof that veggie food can go beyond the bland offerings of overcooked pulses, etc. dairy, egg and sugar-free and 100% organic. Spinach veloute and assietes complete with tofu, tempura or fish.
La Ferme
57 Rue Saint Roch
75001 Paris
Tel: 01 40 20 12 12
Neo-rustic atmosphere is happily tongue-in-cheek and the smoothies, salads and sandwiches are so tempting you'd want to eat them even if they weren't good for you - grilled eggplant, sun-dried tomato and pesto ciabata are delicious.

Hi M,
If your friend is a vegetarian she should have no trouble at all finding dishes without meat, fowl or fish.
If she is Vegan, that could be a problem at some places.
IME, salads have always been available. Pastas are ubiquitous.
Enjoy your visit.

Just about every normal restaurant has some vegetarian dishes. This is the 21st century, even in Paris.
Ira is right to say that a vegan would have more difficulty.

I must be Gluten Free. Will this be a major problem or must I always carry GF bread and/or pasta? (will the restaurants cook the GF pasta for me if I bring my own). Will most of the
delicious French sauces have flour?

I cannot imagine any restaurant in the world cooking pasta that you bring to them. Is this common where you live?

Here is a link to a recent thread on the subject of gluten free:

I've been going to Paris about every year for decades and some of these statements don't ring true to me. For example, that every restaurant will have a vegetarian dish. Not in my experience, unless you are talking about a side dish and are calling seafood a vegetarian dish. Which it isn't. Yes, of course you may find a salad that is vegetarian (many are not, actually, they have lardons in them or something), but I think a lot of restaurants will not allow you to eat a salad as a main dish. Not "nice restaurants" in any case, of course, at a cafe you can do anything you want. And at lunch you could, but not at dinner.
So I think some research will be in order to find some main dish that is vegetarian in a nice French cuisine restaurant for dinner. In the places I go, the main dishes are meat or seafood.

Safest not to ask in a "non-upscale" restaurant in Paris either.

You could try Firmin Le Barbier. The last time that I ate there they had a delicious vegetarian main course of risotto and grilled vegetables. They serve "modern" (my server's word) French food.

I wouldn't ask anyone, anywhere, in any restaurant, to cook something I brought in with me..can't imagine doing that. Sounds medieval to me, like the days when folks brought their own dough to the communal oven for baking.
At any rate, vegetarian and gluten-free are concepts that the French have grasped for as long as everyone else. And by law they have to post their menus outside the establishment, so you know what you're getting into.

For vegetarian options, go to www.happycow.net.
There are, according to that site, several places in the Marais area and near the Latin quarter that are all-veg or veg-friendly.
Report Abuse
StCirq's comment is extremely pertinent -- since every restaurant in France posts its menu outside, there is really no problem at all to find a place serving appropriate dishes.
There is absolutely no need to come to the city with a specific list of restaurants, some of which might be closed or totally inconvenient. There are restaurants EVERYWHERE and you have to be pretty unlucky to stumble across the bad places.

Kerouac, that's just not true. It is not easy being a vegetarian in Paris. I stumbled around for an hour today, between the 5th and 6th arrondissements, looking for a suitable restaurant. I finally found a place, which had decent ravioli (I forget the name...a student place on the corner of Rue St Guillaume and Rue de Grenelle, near Sciences Po).
Eating salad gets old quickly. Of course there are restaurants all over Paris, and I'm sure plenty of them have vegetarian options. But not necessarily where you are when you get hungry.

imelda, get the Happy Cow app for your phone. It lists veg and veg-friendly places all over the world. I never plan a trip without it. I had no problem finding places to eat in Paris.

SEZ proliferation in India: are the objectives being realized?
This paper analyzes if the industrial policy framework of the Indian Government with regard to the proliferation of SEZs has satisfied its aims and objectives. The analysis however, shows otherwise. The empirical results show that the policy of the Indian Government has been lopsided, wherein the concentration of SEZs has increased in States which face lower levels of unemployment and a comparably high level of FDI inflow. Further, the concentration of the SEZs has been restricted majorly to the IT industry resulting in rigidity in the export mix. Policy implications hint towards a diversification of the SEZ industry portfolio and in increasing the size and therefore, the economic impact of these zones.

Norwich 3 Newcastle United 2: Norwich show Newcastle the value of teamwork
Newcastle United's net spend on players in the last two transfer windows is about £70m; Norwich City's, even with a newly promoted squad that needed strengthening, is £12.5m. Whether or not Martin Olsson had scored a winning goal in the 93rd minute on Saturday, it would not require the Norfolk club's chairman Ed Balls to tell which of the two relegation strugglers has achieved the better value.
Alex Neil, the man who spent Norwich's money so wisely, was sensible enough to point out amid the euphoria engulfing Carrow Road, complimentary yellow-and-green clappers and all, that "there's a lot of football to play".
Next up are Crystal Palace, now within their sights, and then Sunderland, who will follow their north-eastern neighbours to Carrow Road on Saturday week for another critical fixture.
"Since I've been here we've been used to playing big games," Neil said. "Even this season, to keep us in the league, every game is massive for us. We showed that we can handle that."
Whether Newcastle can, with their more expensive and supposedly bigger players remains open to doubt. Six points in arrears with a game in hand is not an irretrievable position, even after a ninth successive away defeat in all competitions since winning – with typical perversity – at Tottenham in December. Now they have lost seven games out of eight, glimpses of better organisation under Rafa Benitez need to be translated into points.
Giving a more disciplined Aleksandar Mitrovic his head and a starting place would surely help. He won almost every header after coming on for the last half-hour, putting one of them past John Ruddy for the first equaliser and grabbing the ball to beat him with a penalty for the second one.
"They're all in it together," Neil said of his team. Are Newcastle?
Norwich (4-4-1-1): Ruddy 6; Wisdom 7, Bennett 7, Klose 8, Olsson 7; Jarvis 7(Redmond, 75), O'Neil 7, Howson 7, Brady 7; Naismith 8 (Hoolahan, 80); Mbokani 8 (Jerome, 85).
Newcastle (4-2-3-1): Darlow 7; Janmaat 6, Mbemba 4, Taylor 6, Anita 4 (Mitrovic, 61); Shelvey 7, Tiote 5 (Perez, 46); Townsend 6, Wijnaldum 5, Sissoko 5; Cisse 6.
Man of the match: Klose.
Match rating: 8/10

The Pulse today starts with a riddle: Why would good fortune for FedEx also be good for one of its arch-competitors, the U.S. Postal Service?
FedEx said today it expects a record holiday shipping season with a forecast that shipments will be up 12 percent. According to the company, "Retail inventory such as apparel, personal consumer electronics and luxury goods as well as books and other items from large Internet retailers will account for a large portion of FedEx holiday volumes"
If FedEx is right, that means the economy is stronger than many had predicted coming out of the summer which is good news for the 18,000 people it says it'll hire to handle packages during the holidays.
As for the Post Office's connection here? While FedEx folks deliver lots of packages, it turns out FedEx also pays the post office to do the final delivery of quite a few parcels.
FedEx said it expects to move more than 17 million shipments on December 12, which would make the day its busiest ever.
News that FedEx--and by extension the US Postal Service-- could have a decent holiday season makes the Pulse beat faster.

Sorkin, Simpson: Politics is theater
DENVER — A Hollywood writer, a former senator, and a TV anchor all seemed to agree Wednesday that politics has moved from authenticity to theater — to the point that now only a talented actor can be president.
"The most comfortable I've ever seen Mitt Romney is on the 47 percent video," said Aaron Sorkin, writer and creator of "The West Wing" and "The Newsroom. "I would say he has to be that comfortable."
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Sorkin: Moderators 'can't be bulldozed')
Countered ex-Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson about the debate here: "Tonight you will see something that looks like Fred Astaire on steroids. They will be dancing up and down, and we won't learn anything."
Simpson, Sorkin, NBC's Chuck Todd and Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, appeared on an entertaining panel here hosted by Harvard's Shorenstein Center.
Shorenstein director Alex Jones valiantly tried to stay on topic — politics as theater — as the opininated group veered everywhere.
Sorkin and Simpson stole the show with their rapid-fire humor. "I hate to have my picture take," said Sorkin. "When someone points a camera at me, I don't know what to do with my face. When people are on stage and feel they are being judged, they forgot how their arms and legs move. That's Mitt Romney."
All also agreed that the candidates will be so rehearsed tonight that it's unlikely the public will learn anything new. Jamieson said she would urge Barack Obama and Mitt Romney not to try so hard to define the other guy, but to define themselves.
"Thousands of middle-school classrooms will have mock debates more sophisticated than what we're going to watch tonight," Sorkin quipped.

Before you choose the best email marketing software for your needs, I think that first you need to resolve whether you should purchase a desktop based software or a remotely hosted software solution.
Desktop Based software – Issues
For a desktop based software (like SendBlaster), you will pay a one time fee and download the product and then use your own email server to send emails. The software will help you manage sending a lot of emails but you still have to figure out which company will let you use their servers to send bulk emails. A lot of ISPs will not allow you to send bulk emails through their servers and similar is the case with a lot of ESPs (Email Service Providers).
Not Enough Features
Even if you are able to find a company that lets you send a lot of emails and you are able to use a desktop based software, you may eventually run into problems and sometimes you won't even know that a problem exists. For example, most of your emails may end up going to the spam folders or may even bounce back. Also, you will not be able to find several features that are offered by an online hosted solution, for example: responsive templates, inbox preview, time travel, stock images, online email archives etc.
Let the Experts Handle the Homework
If you are serious about email marketing, we recommend that you go for a company that offers remotely hosted email marketing software solution, for example Benchmark Email, Aweber, Getresponse etc. Such companies actually specialize in sending bulk emails and they do a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure that your emails get delivered. These are also known as autoresponders, although that's just one of the features that they offer. Here are some of the things that they do, which you will find hard to do with a desktop based software:
- Using static IP addresses
- Building reputation of the IP addresses and their domain names
- Ensuring their IPs and domain names do not become part of "blacklists"
- Keeping an eye on the delivery rates and troubleshooting deliverability issues
- Participating in feedback loop programs offered by most of the Email Service Providers
- Automatically handling bounce-backs
- Automatically handling subscriptions and un-subscriptions
Is It Really Worth Your Time?
These are just some of the major things that they do, which you may have a hard time doing yourself. Even if you are tech-savvy and can handle a lot of stuff yourself, you may end up spending a lot of time using a desktop based software. And it is quite possible that 50% of your emails may not even reach the inboxes of your subscribers, resulting in a loss of efforts, time and revenue. We will discuss each of these features more in our upcoming articles.
We think that a serious email marketer should let the experts do the email deliveries and take advantage of the companies that specialize in email marketing. We have done a comprehensive comparison of the major online email marketing software companies that you can refer to, and choose the best email marketing software for you need.
4 Responses to "Desktop or an Online Based Software Solution?"
I bet, online hosted versions have better list management and delivery rates.
I am definitely with you on that one because I have seen that web-based email marketing softwares tend to use shared IP pool maybe to increase deliverability rates. We found Email It – http://www.emailit.co to be a great solution for our company. They price their packages low while achieve high deliverability rates. Their software is less clutter than most I have seen and very friendly staff.
Genuinely when someone doesn't know then its up to
other people that they will assist, so here it takes place.
I appreciate, cause I found exactly what I used
to be taking a look for. You have ended my four day
lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a nice day.

Although customer-oriented advice is the undisputed objective, two-thirds of bank customers complain that they still do not get offered the kind of products or services that are really appropriate for them. Even when advisors have their hearts in the right place, concepts fail to be well implemented and goals are not achieved.
What Advisors Typically Do Wrong
The underlying rationale for certain concepts is often not even properly understood by the advisors/sellers themselves. The level of education and skill of advisors is highly variable, and some are simply unable to get a grip on what they sell.
Another problem is that only those clients who visit the bank, and are clearly willing to invest a bit of time as well as money, get a relatively good explanation of what they have right now or could have from the bank. Yet many clients who lack the time or motivation to bother with their investments, and particularly to see the advisor personally, are not looked after well. (Learn tips to find a good advisor for your needs in Advice For Finding The Best Advisor.)
Advisors are nervous to call people up, and indeed, some do not welcome the input. All this means that a large group of clients is under-served and undersold, constituting a considerable loss of business and revenue for the bank. In other words, the familiar customers are those who make their presence felt physically, by being particularly big investors or unpleasant customers.
While Know Your Client (KYC) is at the heart and soul of the investment business, the reality is that many customers are not known and even if they are, this knowledge is not always converted into the right portfolios.
Then there is the really tough paradox that, despite the rhetoric on client-oriented advice, the reality is that the pressure is still there to achieve sales goals for certain specific products. Investment banking is a lost cause if sellers are frantically trying to push what brings in the most money, regardless of its suitability or the real chances of it yielding an acceptable rate of return over the given time horizon.
These problems have their roots in an overriding and sole objective of making money in the short run. Such objectives convert inevitably into a self-seeking investment process, revolving around the firm rather than the customer. The process needs to be mutually beneficial in a kind of sensible compromise. (If it isn't working out, here are some tips on how to say goodbye in How To Break Up With Your Bank.)
How Do We Get this Right?
The objective of the seller cannot be the ruthless profit maximization that jeopardizes the interests of clients. Such an approach may bring in money in the short term, but over time, can only result in dissatisfaction, and angry and disloyal customers who will vote with their feet. Accordingly, goal-setting processes must seriously and sincerely be based on the notion of a profitable long-term partnership between buyer and seller.
Advisors will then be relieved of pressure to sell what brings in the most in the short run. Over time, satisfied customers will stay with the bank and this will pay off in both loyalty and revenue. The right philosophy must come from the top, from the start. Fear of control and of not achieving ambitious and ruthless sales targets has to be eradicated.
Once this fundamentally correct orientation is in place, advisors need to invest time in their clients, so that they will invest their money with the bank, and be satisfied both with the process and the results, now and in the future,right into retirement. (Get what you need out of your bank. Read Bag The Best Bank Account.)
Emails and phone calls need to be used efficiently and productively to establish ongoing communication. The classic fear of phoning must be overcome, and can be, once clients realize that this is about truly helping them, and not about pushing money-spinners down their throats. Training is needed on how to write such emails and how to start, develop and conclude the phone calls.
Personal visits are also essential, depending on the clients, their portfolios and personal preferences for such meetings. There is simply no substitute for a personal meeting. In no other format do people really give matters their full attention, and the face-to-face approach allows a three-dimensional relationship to develop. Additionally, the ability to assess the other party meaningfully, including his or her emotions, fears and hopes, and level of knowledge and understanding, is optimal in a real meeting.
Only in person is the body language of the other party evident. People's facial expressions, they way they sit, stand, talk, use silence and so on, all play a role in effective and honest communication. Even people who are unfamiliar with the world of body language do pick up vital clues and cues from personal interaction. Useful as emails and phone calls are, they are no substitute for personal meetings and never will be. (For more, check out Keeping Clients Through Good And Bad.)
The Bottom Line
The advisory process between bankers or brokers and their clients remains a source of mutual dissatisfaction and lost opportunities, not to mention lost money. Far too many customers are neither properly known nor well served and this has to change.
The essence of resolving the problem is to get rid of the notorious sell-at-all-cost mentality from the top right now, and to ensure that advisors develop productive and viable processes and relationships with their clients. Naturally, the selling still has to occur, but this needs to be within a symbiotic, mutually beneficial process entailing open and honest communication. If the attitude is to get the money now and worry about the consequences later, the investment industry will go from one crisis to another with an ever-deteriorating reputation.

Enjoy Fishing? Try Walleye Fishing
Fishing season is just about in full swing in New York State. Bass fishing opens in June. But if you like fishing for Walleye you will be happy to know that we have one of the best fishing spots for them right in our own back yard. That spot is Oneida Lake, so if you are in the Utica Rome area you do not have to travel too far. The Walleye must be at least fifteen inches long or you will have to throw them back in the water. The limit is five per day. Walleye are lots of fun to fish for and will put up a pretty good fight. Enjoy!

On Thursday, June 14, I had an experience in your community that I will never forget for more reasons than one. We were traveling from Jacksonville to our home in Brooksville when my husband suddenly became very ill and nearly lost his life.
It happened in the food court of one of your outlet malls on Interstate 95 and Highway 16. Strangers came to our assistance with extraordinary concern. First of all, I want to thank the couple who so willingly stayed by my husband's side while I summoned the life squad. Others who had had CPR training came forward offering their assistance. I appreciate the police officer's efforts to save him until the paramedics arrived. Words cannot express the high regard I have for those paramedics who worked so speedily and adamantly to save his life. At this point, I started to feel somewhat relieved, knowing that he was in the hands of professional caregivers. As my husband was being rushed away to the hospital, I continued to feel the warmth of the people around me. The security guard was most helpful, a shop manager sent me off with a big hug, and a shopper gave me the wonderful assurance that throughout this whole episode, she was praying for both of us.
We were met with the same caring spirit upon our arrival at Flagler hospital. I was very impressed with their efforts to meet the specific needs of both of us. My husband was under the wonderful care of Dr. Ross and his staff in ER, and I immediately had nurses, volunteers, the chaplain, Rev. Pennill, CCU Director, Mrs. Smith, and many, many other wonderful caregivers providing assistance in so many ways. We both especially want to thank Dr. Saikaly, Dr. Mai, and Dr. Huang for their wonderful care as well as SICU nurses Ariana, Mary, and Charleen, and fourth floor nurses Donna and Mike.
I'm happy to report that we are home now and my husband is doing well. We hope that we will never find ourselves in these same circumstances; but if that should be our fate, we would hope it would happen in St. Augustine, FL, area.
May God bless all of you!

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- Allied countries should not gather economic intelligence about each other in the guise of security, former U.S. President Bill Clinton says.
Interviewed during a visit to Rio de Janeiro, Clinton said nations should be open about security and their intelligence-gathering needs, the Brazilian newspaper O Globo reported Monday.
Alluding to documents leaked by Edward Snowden that revealed U.S. intelligence agencies had monitored communications by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and state-owned oil company Petroblas, Clinton said such information should not be collected "under the guise of security."
"This should only occur when there is an agreement on transparency," he said. There also should be "a clear, serious and open discussion" about why governments collect "big data" and how it can be used to prevent terrorist attacks.
"What we should do is explain to people what is the traceability of information, saying what the policy is," he added.
While all countries will need to address their privacy protocols, Clinton touted the benefits of access to technology, particularly for the poor.
He cited a study that found for every 10 percent increase in the use of mobile technology in poorer African countries, the country's Gross Domestic Product rose 0.6 percent.
The former president was in Brazil for a meeting of his Clinton Global Initiative Foundation, the first time his non-profit organization had met in Latin America.

Noticed a pool of water in my water heater "safety spill pan", it's 12 yrs old so I figure I'm due for a new one. Not leaking real bad right now so not an immediate fix required. As a family of 4 we go through quite a bit of hot water. I've been reading about the instant water heaters that are supposed to be more efficient than the 50gal standard tank model we have now.
1: Are the Tankless models that much more efficient than standard gas water heaters? Is the payback time reasonable?
2: Are they much more difficult to install than standard water heaters? From reading online it looks like a 3/4" gas line upgrade and replacing the flue with a 5" model would be required.
3: Which brand/type offers the best bang for the $$$? Are the condensing models worth the extra cost?
Views: 270
Bob, we have a gas tankless water heater, and although we have been mostly satisfied with it, I would only recommend one for three reasons: 1) space savings, 2) need for lots of hot water (i.e. large bathtub), and 3) rarely use hot water (i.e. vacation house). I don't think they are more efficient than regular gas tank heaters, unless you take standby loss into account, and with 4 people you probably don't have that much standby time. You probably need a 3/4" gas line and you may have to install a new flue. The main drawback we've experienced is the cold water slug you get every time you turn it off and on, such as when washing and rinsing dishes. You are switching a machine on and off, not just opening a tap. It takes a couple of seconds for the unit to fire, then a couple more for it to get up to temperature, so you are purging more cold water to get hot.
The real benefit for us has been the small size. I put ours in the attic and freed up a bunch of space in the pantry where the old tank used to be. Having endless hot water is good when people take showers one after another. Our unit has a remote with temperature options, so I can turn it up to 167 degrees and fill a pot for cooking pasta, which is much quicker than heating it on the cooktop. Some people like to wash whites or bedclothes in hot water.
But... unless you need to get that tank out of the house, I would stick with it and just get a new one.
If you do get one, I would go with a condensing unit, so you can use plastic flue. The 75% models use stainless flue that costs too much.
The price difference between a conventional 50 gallon and a tankless water heater is less than I thought. $500 buys a tank type, $600 buys a Takagi 19,000 to 140,000 BTU power vented tankless model. When did tank type water heaters go through the roof in price? last time I bought one in 2003 (different house) they were under $200. Tankless at that time was $800 or so, I didn't even consider them.
I've considered the reventing costs, but my existing tank water heater needs to be revented anyways because it shares a flue with an induced draft furnace (don't know how it passed inspection 1st time around). The category 3 venting (very expensive, but won't need much of it) and upsizing the gas line are my major cost considerations. Fortunately the water heater is only about 15' from the gas distribution unit and both are easy to access. Currently the house uses "yellow hose" flex type gas lines
Takagi recommends an indoor installation in climates with potential freezing conditions, not sure if a closet between the garage and house qualifies. Space in unconditioned, connected to attic, furnace shares the space with current water heater. I could put the unit in the laundry room, but I'm not crazy about having combustion appliances in conditioned space even if they are power vented. Moving the WH into the laundry room would put it next to the pex manifold therefore reducing piping looses.
We do have a HUGE jetted tub and the current 50gal runs out just about the time the tub fills up. We don't use it often, but like it to be hot when we want to use it. I could turn it up to get more water out of it, but with small children in the home I want the water heater set low as possible. The precision outlet temperature is a nice feature of a tankless model, provided it's accurate. Our current tank water heater can vary from 100 to 120 depending on the last time it cycled.
Just found out ONG (our local gas co) is offering a $250 rebate on tankless water heaters, but they must be installed by a licensed contractor. Perhaps it's time to call some plumbers and see how much install costs..

This may seem like a newbie question so forgive me because I know nothing about code. This is my site http://www.bryMphotography.com and I'm using the Display theme. I was wondering how I could change the text color from orange to something else like red. also, if you look at the links they are underlined in orange and I'd also like those to be another color like red.
Hope you can help!
There are a couple of CSS edits you need to make, add this to the end of /css/style1.css:
#infotext h2 strong, .wrapper a:hover { color: #FF0000; }
.wrapper a, #main #sidebar .textwidget a { border-bottom:1px solid #FF0000; }
thanks that worked out great!

Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Washington
Part of my property sold without my knowledge
I bought a property 5 years ago consisting of 2 tracts, deeds duly recorded. Local real estate agent just sold one of them to a 3rd party without my knowledge or consent. No attorney for 300 miles will represent me because buyer is son of long-time local bigwig, they cite conflict of interest. Must I simply allow these people to steal my land because I don't have equal political clout in my county?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Part of my property sold without my knowledge
If they sold the property wihtout your consent and knowledge the title company should have picked up the difference in name between the seller and the actual owner. I would welcome an opportunity to review the documents transmitting title and provide a more complete analysis. Feel free to contact me.

For Dustin Reeser, 35, and Spencer Stout, 32, their romance started at a Home Depot in Salt Lake City, Utah. After meeting the night before at a party hosted by Spencer, the two walked the aisles of the big box hardware store so that Dustin could impress his new admirer with his wood. (Dustin, a designer, wanted to show Spencer the materials he used to build a table in his Los Angeles home.) While the date ended with Dustin headed back to L.A., the romance had been sparked.
"We've been seeing each other pretty much ever since," Spencer said. Eventually, Dustin moved to Salt Lake City to be closer to his boyfriend.
Two years later, their relationship came full circle when Spencer decided to throw a flash mob proposal for Dustin.
"I wanted to do something really fun and special," Spencer said. Thanks to the encouragement of his friends, Spencer began planning what would become a viral sensation on YouTube.
SLIDESHOW: See Exclusive Ceremony Photos
Three months later, on August 30, 2013, Dustin was guided down the lumber aisle of Home Depot where he would be surprised with a mob of friends and family members dancing to Betty Who's "Somebody Loves You."
"If I am good to you, will you be good to me?" read a sign Spencer held as he walked out to greet his future husband. The lyric from Who's song was hardly a question, as it was clear Dustin was going to say yes.
Eleven million views later, Dustin and Spencer's engagement turned Who into a star and the couple into a media sensation. The attention also resulted in something truly unexpected: A call from a casting agent who asked if they wanted to get married on TV.
On Sunday, January 26, in front of 28 million people, Dustin and Spencer got married at 2014 Grammy Awards. The magical TV moment was greeted with adoration and celebration. "Congratulations," said Beyoncé as she looked Spencer directly in the eyes.
While the couple's big moment happened on stage with Queen Latifah officiating, Dustin and Spencer still wanted to have an intimate ring ceremony.
Back in Utah, where gay marriage became legal in December of last year, the two exchanged pipe cut titanium rings on February 1 in front of their closest friends and family. Despite coming from two families of devout Mormons, nearly everyone was in attendance to celebrate the love and mutual respect for Dustin and Spencer.
While Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Mary Lambert, and Madonna sang the soundtrack on the Grammy stage, it was Betty Who who provided the fitting touch at the ceremony. The singer, accompanied by her boyfriend on guitar, sang an acoustic version of "Somebody Loves You" as two mothers walked their sons down the aisle.
"Betty was virtually there with us when it all started and was there with us in person as a part of the culmination of it all," Spencer said. "It was just so freakin' cool!"

"The Best Way to Combat Christianity is...From Within"
So says the Sexy Atheist, who thinks I know something about doing this:
I believe that the best way to combat Christianity is with Christianity. John Loftus at Debunking Christianity can deconstruct Christianity from within. I do love Dawkins and Hitchens, but I think that the future, the part that will further the secular cause and put religion on the shelf with myths and books by Joseph Campbell is to destroy it from within. LinkThanks for the encouragement! I'm doing my best.

Memorial Day is typically the time for a getaway, BBQ's or parties on the beach. But it's also a great opportunity to hit the pause button.
It's amazing what you can accomplish with that one extra day. I'm thrilled to finally have the chance to be still and catch up on life, on the blog world and on the need to simply sit with my own thoughts for more than one second!
What are you up to this long weekend luvies? Whatever you do, I hope it's both fun and rejuvenating!
Till next week,
*Mrs. E
