The Pattern of Financing Industrialization in China: Understanding Sources of Fixed Investment
This paper explains a puzzling feature of China's industrial financing, i.e., an extremely low share of domestic loans and an unusually high share of 'self-raised funds and others' in a developing country. After an overview of historical patterns of financial industrialization in other countries, it looks into the details of sources of industrial finance in China and suggests some explanations on the country's unique pattern of financing industrialization based on data available. It also discusses implications to the future of China's industrial financing.

An Ode to the North Shore
By Magicseaweed on
Why we will miss the North Shore in a heartfelt 2 1/2 rocking minutes. In a few weeks the NPAC will start to think about winding down, so get over there whilst the glitzy new tour heads to Australia. You can thank us later.
On the bell John John Florence swoops in to steal the limelight, as is his want, and it's worth the wait. Prior to that his sibling Nathan Florence, Conner and Parker Coffin, Nils Schweizer, Hank Gaskell, Wiggolly Dantas and Sean Moody entertain.

Sometimes figures of speech related to numbers have a way of working themselves out over time. Two Ohio State sources confirmed to the Columbus Dispatch Wednesday that the lingering hypothetical (emphasis on hypothetical) .03% of doubt in the back of anyone's reasonable minds can all but be put to rest:
Two well-placed sources at Ohio State University confirmed for The Dispatch this morning that Urban Meyer will be announced next week as the next head football coach of the Buckeyes.
But the sources also said final terms for a deal – such as length of contract and financial remuneration – have not been decided, despite recent reports to the contrary. Also, the sources said that though interim head coach Luke Fickell has not been in the loop, he will be taken care of when or if Meyer accepts the job. In what capacity, the sources weren't sure.
If the Columbus paper isn't good enough for you, just give it time; a press conference sometime next week should placate even the most cynical Doubting Thomas(es) amongst us.

eBook Community Anobii Sold for £1
Anobii is one of those names that you might never have heard of unless you were one of their 600 thousand members or (like me) obsessed with following ebook news.
It was launched in 2006 as an ebook community, but it took a sharp turn in focus in 2010 when it was bought up by a trio of publishers (Penguin, Random House, HarperCollins) and a retailer (HMV) with the goal of making it into a social ebookstore, a move that doesn't appear to have worked out as well as they'd hoped.
Just to put this into perspective, 2010 was the year that Copia launched as a social ebookstore. They didn't have much success either, and as a result Copia has since pivoted to selling their ebookstore platform to retailers (instead of Copia selling ebooks to customers).
The seller (HMV) in this story also used to own Waterstones. It looks to me like HMV had planned to tie Anobii into Waterstones as an ebookstore. That plan fell through when HMV sold off Waterstones last year, and it pretty much became an impossibility once Waterstones announced plans to sell the Kindle in stores.
But for Sainsbury's this is still looks to be good news. It gives the chain an established, albeit small, presence in the market. Clearly Sainsbury's wanted to sell ebooks, and while they did have other options (Copia, Blio, txtr), buying Anobii generated both a lot of media attention and it also gained Sainsbury an ebookstore with social features as well as a higher degree of control. Copia could provide the former, but I suspect that Sainsbury's wanted the latter as well.
Curiously enough, HMV is described as having owned just under half of Anobii, and yet Sainsbury's now owns nearly 2/3. When you combine that with the sale price (one pound sterling), it makes me wonder if Anobii is a money pit, and that Sainsbury gained a controlling interest in exchange for promising to cover the costs out of their own pocket.

Birth Control - Men Answer A26439
Welcome to ehealthforum,
If she has got her usual periods (expected normal periods) after the unprotected intercourse, then chances of pregnancy can be ruled out. If you wanted to opt for emergency contraception, you should have taken it within 24-48 hours of unprotected intercourse to be able to prevent pregnancy effectively. Wait and watch for her next periods (few women can continue to have period like bleeding or decidual bleeding at the expected period time during first few months of pregnancy). Look out for development of any other new symptoms. The chances of pregnancy cannot be ruled out completely if she has had late ovulation. If pregnancy gets ruled out, and if you intend to remain sexually active, you should consider using suitable regular birth control measures. If she is taking birth control pills, she should be regular with its use to continue having protection. Visit her doctor/gynecologist for further evaluation and assistance.
Take care.

Yeah, it's a serious lethal makeup weapon.
Because highlighter is just about the best product you can have in your kit, we've decided to name it a beauty essential. No, we have no real authority to give highlighter such a title but we're starting a new trend here, people! And in case you don't believe us, we're giving you four solid reasons you should pick some up at the nearest beauty counter.
Did we mention it's the reason Kim K looks so good?
1. To Get Rid of Dark Circles
Ehem, the effect is called contouring.
2. To Make Your Lips Bigger
Even just a dusting of subtle glitter to the center of your lips can add a touch of brightness that will plump up your pout!
"TIP TUESDAY: Sorry for the unnecessary up close shot BUT I had to share today my newest and favorite find. It's Maskcara Cosmetics "Pink Grapefruit" blush. I've been on the lookout for YEARS on the perfect blush that creates a pretty pink color with a natural blushing shade. The best part is it's a cream so it blends effortlessly into your skin to create an even more natural look!" @marisarosemph 😍😍😍 Pink Grapefruit is perfection on you!

Earlier this month, rapper Kanye West described his latest release as "a gospel album with a lot of cursing."
The phrase exemplifies the sense of confusion and apparent contradiction surrounding The Life of Pablo—which came out February 14, after lots of hype and speculation. Christians also wondered about what was to come from the famous husband of Kim Kardashian (and foil to Taylor Swift): How much gospel will be in this "gospel album"? Who exactly is Pablo?
For starters, it isn't a typical album in any sense. Following its digital release, it has yet to be transferred to a physical format (no CDs, no vinyl). The Life of Pablo is not, and may not ever be, available for purchase. So while we're told the album exists, it requires a certain amount of faith to experience.
It is not available on iTunes, Amazon, or Spotify. No man cometh unto The Life of Pablo except through Tidal—the online music-streaming site run by Kanye's figurative "big brother" Jay-Z offers the only legal way to listen to the project.
During the final months of production, the album went through a spiritual journey of its own, rumored to originally be titled So Help Me God, then SWISH, later confirmed as Waves, and finally The Life of Pablo.
It's the latest entry on a lengthy timeline illustrating Kanye's use of Christian themes and imagery in his work. Occasionally such efforts have been viewed by believers as an earnest search for truth. The song "Jesus Walks" from his debut album was nominated for a 2004 Stellar Gospel Music Award.
And just as often, Kanye's ideas are seen as outright blasphemy. That Stellar Award nod was later rescinded after the threat of protests about vulgar language contained within the song and the rest of The College Dropout. He also caught hell for his "I Am a God" track from 2013's Yeezus album. The title was initially explained as a reference to Psalm 82:6 ("I said, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you'") and later noted as being as bold and indefensible as it appeared.
But many Christians who proclaim the scandalous grace of the Gospels seem to be willing to extend an olive branch to even the most outrageous offenders. For some, The Life of Pablo qualifies. It has an intriguing, possibly religious title. It includes contributions from notable Christian artists. The artist's ever-bubbling Twitter stream bursts with tweets that confess sins while affirming his need for forgiveness and redemption.
It also carries an "Explicit Lyrics" label, a braggart's swagger, and feeds the fears of those concerned about the mixed messages it will send less mature and discerning listeners. So how should followers of Jesus approach The Life of Pablo and the artist behind it?
This Is a God Dream
The easiest entry point for believers will be the first track on the album. "Ultralight Beam" is more or less the public prayers of its authors and performers. It begins with an audio recording from a viral video sensation known as Natalie the Great. In the first 30 seconds of TLOP, four-year-old Natalie is heard praying to Jesus and against Satan.
The song then moves into Kanye's verses asking God to deliver us serenity, peace, and loving while embracing the spirit of the prayer. Next, a choir sings psalm-like cries to Jehovah in the midst of doubt and depression:
I'm tryna keep my faith
But I'm looking for more
Somewhere I can feel safe
And end my holy war
I'm tryna keep my faith

Yesterday was Day 1 of the 25th PhotoPlus Expo, held at Jacob Javits Convention Center here in New York. Self billed as "the most important event in photography," PhotoPlus doesn't generally offer much in the way of big product announcements. But I love going every year just to see all the new toys in person, to hobnob with a whole range of photo-geeks (I'm an enthusiastic and probably lifelong amateur), and to take in some really fine photography that various companies and organizations exhibit there.
After the jump, check out some of the really cool and really odd things I came across while wandering around with PC Magazine's camera analyst PJ Jacobowitz (the better pictures were taken by him!).
Olympus showed off a prototype of its Micro Four Thirds camera: It's promised to have the quality and versatility of a DSLR in a point-and-shoot-size body. Imagine an SLR you could carry in a pocket! (Where do you carry the lenses? Scroll down to Shootsac.) Look for it sometime in 2009.
Craig Strong, president and cofounder of LensBaby and its "selective focus" lenses, demoed the company's newest lens for us: the Composer, which features easily swappable optics; each gives you different effects, essentially four lenses in one. Preorder one for $270; optics are extra.
PJ took my picture with a camera and a Composer lens, with the double-glass optics.
Joby, which came out a few years ago with the innovative GorillaPod bendable tripods, has a new one: The GorillaPod Focus can handle cameras up to 11 pounds. It's $139.95 direct from Joby's Web site.
Canon featured ongoing talks and slideshows all day by professional shooters. This is nature photographer George Lepp.
Who has the biggest lens?
Plug one of DataColor's Spyder devices into a USB port, load its software, and drape it over your screen, and it'll calibrate and adjust the color on your monitor. Prices range from $70 to $240.
ScanDigital's Anderson Schoenrock: The company digitizes visual media, including photos, slides, and film. They also do color correction, correct orientation, remove artifacts, and fix red-eye, and in most cases can turn your order around in under a week.
Jessica Claire, photographer and designer of Shootsacs–which are carrying cases for camera lenses that are designed for women. That is, they're comfortable to carry, retrieving lenses from within the bag is easy, and the cover flaps are interchangeable. Jessica told me they'll have laptop bags in a couple of months, too.
The obligatory cameras-underwater display; this one courtesy of Pentax.
The idea of combining personal photos with jewelry? Mostly that kind of thing is on the tacky side–but not Kimbra's products. They're really attractive and elegant. I would not hesitate to give these for holiday gifts (or getting a little something, either!).

Track teams earn 1st place honorsJan. 23, 2001
By AMETHYST HENSLEY
Sports Writer
Baylor's No. 9 men's and No. 22 women's track programs are off to a hot start after Saturday's Sooner Indoor Classic in Norman, Okla.
The Bears took home six first place finishes and wrapped up the weekend with experience for the rest of the season.
Weather conditions have hindered the team from getting any extensive practice, so the meet provided a good opportunity for an early test of ability.
'It has been a real challenge, more so than in any other year, just because we've only had a couple of days in the past two weeks where we could do any kind of skill work,' head Coach Clyde Hart said on the Baylor athletic Web site.
The Bears did not appear to be rusty as they sped past the competition in the men's 600 yards event, dominating the heat with representatives as four of the top six finishers. The Bears finished in a 1-2-3 string with Floyd Thompson in front at 1:11.92, followed by Damian Davis and Ryan Kedley on his heels. Michael Smith placed sixth with a time of 1:14.07.
In the men's 400, Zsolt Szeglet captured first place with a time of 48.45 seconds. Bayano Kamani took third while Joel Martin and Robert Quiroga placed sixth and eight.
Barrett Hall blistered the field in the men's 800 meters with a time of 1:56.24, and Baylor's relay team maintained the first place mentality with a time of 3:16.23 in the 4x440 yard relay, a full second ahead of the Texas Christian University team.
'I haven't been displeased with anybody out there,' Hart said. 'They've worked hard. Bayano Kamani has worked hard; Floyd Thompson has worked hard. Damian Davis probably is further along than he has been. So we've got some things going.'
The women's team also matched the men in getting a first place spot in the 4x440 relay, edging TCU by two tenths of a second with 3:51.25 finish.
Tiffany Wise was the highest women's individual finisher with a 600 yards second place finish in 1:25.42 seconds. Also in the 600, Lanie Millar finished third and Udi Deja Opusunju took fourth.
Baylor will travel south next weekend for the University of Houston's Southwest Indoor Classic.

Upper Deck announced on Tuesday that it has signed future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux to an autograph deal for 2010.
Maddux's last certified autographed cards were found in Upper Deck's 2008 Masterpieces set — his lone signed cards that year.
During his career, Maddux has signed for 621 different certified autograph cards.
"Greg Maddux hasn't signed a trading card in nearly three years and his collecting base is still rock solid – meaning demand for his signed cards has only increased during that time period," said Gabriel Garcia, Upper Deck's baseball brand manage, in a release. "In addition to being able to offer an array of new Greg Maddux autographed cards, Upper Deck will also be producing some amazing memorabilia cards including a sought-after assortment of premium patch cards."
Upper Deck has signed several high-profile players to autograph deals for 2010 with New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada announced on Monday to go along with fellow Yanks Mariano Rivera and Andy Pettitte as well as former Yankee Jose Canseco.

Today, former governor and U.S. Senate candidate Tim Kaine shared his strategies to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare programs with Northern Virginia seniors at the Stacy C. Sherwood Community Center in Fairfax. Throughout the morning forum, Kaine contrasted his proposed reforms, which would reduce costs and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, with the partial privatization proposals and increase in retirement age supported by George Allen.
"We can be open to adjustments to strengthen the program, but Social Security is not contributing to the deficit and is not on the verge of insolvency as some might claim," said Kaine. "I will be a senator that will always fight to protect and preserve Social Security and will oppose risky schemes to privatize it."
Kaine also shared his strategies to reduce costs in Medicare without compromising quality of services and possible adjustments that can be made to strengthen Social Security. He laid out his preferred reforms, including an adjustment of the payroll tax cap to keep Social Security solvent and a fix to allow Medicare to negotiate for cheaper prescription drug prices, saving money for seniors and the government. Kaine also pointed to Allen's previous vote as senator to divert Social Security dollars into private accounts, a measure that would have devastated savings during the recent stock market crash.
"During our debate this week, I pointed out that my opponent had been pro-privatization in the Senate and he didn't contest that," said Kaine. "I pointed out that privatization would have been a risky and catastrophic move and he didn't contest that. I will fight to make sure we don't do risky things but instead fight to protect the program."
On the campaign trail, George Allen has praised Congressman Paul Ryan's budget plan that would force more than one million Virginia seniors onto health care vouchers when they retire instead of the benefits guaranteed by traditional Medicare. Studies show this approach could increase seniors' health care costs by nearly $6,000.
"There are two strategies on the table for dealing with Medicare costs," said Kaine. "Do we shift costs onto seniors' shoulders or do we save costs? I'm all for the savings strategy. My opponent has praised the Ryan budget approach which controls the growth of Medicare in the federal budget by pushing costs onto seniors' shoulders. That makes the federal budget document look better but it's not the right way to do it."

Thanks for getting back Bill. It is at least nice to know someone cares. Unfortunately, as I said above, I turned off all the components including programme control, firewall, viruscan etc.. It did not work until I uninstalled the whole suite.
The toolbox is a piece of software that shows items such as how much ink is left in the ink cartridges, how much ink the printer is using per page and does other functions such as clean printheads, calibrate printheads etc.. The printer has worked without the toolbox but then one of the processes of the toolbox takes up 100% of the CPU and I have to kill it manually. Before someone says it, I did grant that process permission in programme control together with all other processes that even had the smallest chance of having something to do with the printer and it still didn't work.
I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but I am really annoid that I pay money for software like toolbox which doesn't seem to be compatiable with any Security Suite.

FCCLA students attend Legislative Shadow Day in St. Paul
Cindi Koll, WDC FCCLA Advisor
Wadena-Deer Creek Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) members Shania Lannes, Hope Norenberg and Angela Torkkola applied and were accepted to be a part of the Minnesota FCCLA Legislative Shadow Day at the Capitol last week. FCCLA adviser Cindi Koll accompanied the students.
Twenty FCCLA members from throughout the state participated in the event.
The members took part in training with state FCCLA staff in the morning, and then spent four hours shadowing a Minnesota state senator or representative.
Lannes shadowed Sen. Tom Saxhaug, DFL-Grand Rapids, Norenberg shadowed Sen. Chuck Wiger, DFL-Maplewood, and Torkkola shadowed Sen. Melisa Franzen, DFL-Edina.
The girls found the experience to be informative, as the event fell during a busy time for the legislators.
"I loved shadowing Melisa Franzen. I got to attend committee meetings with her. She was very interested in the FCCLA Financial Fitness project," Torkkola said.
Lannes and Norenberg also enjoyed the opportunity.
"It was really interesting. I got to go to the Domestic Violence Rally at the Capitol. I also got to listen to bills being read and voted on," Norenberg said.

Two Las Vegas headline entertainers with breakthrough film projects are about to hit big and make history.
First is Sir Elton John's Caesars Palace resident headliner show "The Million Dollar Piano" filmed at the Colosseum. In March, there will be two unprecedented showcase screenings (March 18 and 26) at theaters around the world. In the U.S. alone, 700 movie theaters will show his concert.
Elton performs "Tiny Dancer," "Rocket Man," "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting," "I'm Still Standing," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," "Philadelphia Freedom" and "Your Song." A behind-the-scenes segment of his 1973 "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," which will be re-released on March 25, has been added to the Caesars Palace footage.
"It's unlike anything I have done before, a complete mix, a showcase of all my music, accompanied by spectacular scenery and beautiful video images," said Elton through a spokesman.
During his 50-year career, the Rocket Man who grew up at the same time in the same area as me 20 miles outside London has performed more than 3,000 concerts and sold more than 250 million records, including 35 gold and 25 platinum and the biggest-selling single of all time. He was knighted a Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.
TIESTO BIRTHDAY VIDEO: Tiesto, the lead resident DJ at Hakkasan in MGM Grand celebrated his 45th birthday there, as I reported. However, I didn't know until now that while here, one of the world's top DJs also filmed a music video for his new single "Red Lights."
It has been released, and, as you can see before it hits cable TV music programs, Tiesto and MGM get some nice exposure with the project. It's believed that this is a first for a DJ who has now branched from not only mixing music but also into making movie production videos, too.
FORGIVING SINS: As President's Day weekend winds down, there are a lot of tourists leaving town reflecting on their "The Hangover" antics they re-created deliberately or by accident. Adult freedom in Sin City often results in visitors' creating their own outrageous "What Happens Here" moments.
Former Mayor Oscar Goodman wants travelers who've sated their adventurous appetites and sexy splurges with whatever bad behavior they've committed to depart with guilt-free consciences. So he's spending today at McCarran International Airport issuing "Presidential Pardons" for all the sexy, sassy and sizzling shenanigans. We really are the Most Thoughtful City on Earth!
MENU WINNER: Our "Top Chef" New Orleans cheftestant Shirley Chung came so close to winning the most recent Season 11 Bravo show. Judge Emeril Lagasse was so impressed with her winning dish of Texas redfish and Asian sauces that he put it on the menu all month long at his New Orleans restaurants. It's proved such a giant hit that he's now added it to the menus of his three restaurants here in the Venetian, Palazzo and MGM Grand.
Meantime, Shirley is away on a chef's tour in South Korea and continuing onto other Asian food spots before returning here to finalize negotiations for her first chef/owner restaurant. She told me that some of the "Top Chef" dishes and the new Asian trip highlights will be re-created there.
WARM WELCOME: Eighty thousand fashion-industry folks start arriving today for their annual MAGIC trade show, the largest fashion trade event in North America, and our nightclubs have planned a plethora of parties. We'll start the listings Tuesday, but with designers, manufacturers, buyers and sellers on hand for the twice-a-year market week, expect to see lots of new collections and fashion trends.
To see what the world will be wearing in everything from shoes to sportswear, textiles to ties and leather to lace, check out the displays — so large the 80-year marketplace spills to Las Vegas Convention Center and Mandalay Bay Convention Center. House of Blues at Mandalay Bay headliner Carlos Santana will show his new lines, and there's urban street wear known simply as Tupac + Biggie.
VALENTINE'S WEDDING: Irish pop star Kian Egan, who was a member of the hit British groups Westlife and IOYOU, oversaw the wedding of a couple, known only as Del and Donna, at Bellagio Fountains on Valentine's Day. The ceremony was shown live via satellite on British television. A licensed official made the ceremony legal as Kian sang Valentine's greetings.
Luxor headliners Jabbawockeez screen their new short art and culture film "Regenerate" at their theater before their 10 p.m. performance of "Prism."
Not one but Ten Tenors lift the roof of Smith Center in a music extravaganza.
"Rock of Ages" at the Venetian star Mark Shunock hosts his "Mondays Dark" at Vinyl in the Hard Rock Hotel featuring the music of Queen with guests Savannah Smith, Jaime Lynch, Anthony Cools, Murray Sawchuck and cast members of "Rock of Ages," "Jersey Boys" and "Million Dollar Quartet" to benefit St. Therese Center/HIV Outreach.
John DiCrosta and Marc Patrick headline at Brad Garrett's Comedy Club in MGM Grand through Sunday.
Jimmie "J.J." Walker and Paul Bond headline at Riviera Country Club through Sunday.
DJ Chuckie hosts the official Young & Reckless fashion party at Marquee in the Cosmopolitan.
DJ Diplo is at XS, which just celebrated its fifth-anniversary weekend, at Steve Wynn's Encore.

Transport yourself to the opulent and excessive Roman Empire at Caesars Palace. But the ever-changing Caesars Palace is far from ancient. The hotel and casino is constantly raising the bar for what visitors can expect in a Vegas resort experience.
Caesars Palace features 3,348 rooms and suites in five towers, including the new luxury boutique Nobu Hotel and Restaurant, which opened Feb. 4, 2013, in the totally remodeled Centurian Tower. Caesars features 129,000 square feet of gaming space, including the Strip's largest poker room and a 250-seat sports book. Other amenities include about two dozen restaurants, a four-level shopping mall, four pools, a spa, Pure and Poetry nightclubs and Pussycat Dolls.
Dining options include restaurants from world-renown chefs Guy Savoy, Wolfgang Puck, Bobby Flay, Gordon Ramsay and, on Feb. 4, 2013, Nobu Matsuhisa.
You never know what characters you'll run into at Caesars with regular performers like Jerry Seinfeld, Bette Midler, Elton John and maybe even the emperor himself.
MGM Grand, a AAA Four Diamond resort, offers 5,044 rooms and suites.
MGM Grand features KÀ by Cirque du Soleil; Brad Garrett's Comedy Club; and world-class entertainment at the Grand Garden Arena and Hollywood Theatre.
The resort offers signature restaurants by celebrity chefs including Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak, Emeril Lagasse's New Orleans Fish House, Wolfgang Puck's Bar & Grill and Michelin three star and Forbes Five Star restaurant, Joël Robuchon.
As part of its ongoing "Grand Renovation," MGM Grand has remodeled all rooms and suites in its main tower and is adding several new experiences to its lineup including Hakkasan Las Vegas Restaurant and Nightclub, a new upscale dining/nightlife concept (coming in April 2013).
MGM Grand also features a state-of-the-art, non-smoking conference center, the Grand Spa, Cristophe Salon, "CSI: The Experience" and an inviting pool complex featuring the tantalizing daylife of Wet Republic.
Upscale accommodations include The Mansion, an exclusive hotel within the hotel; the luxurious two-story SKYLOFTS at MGM Grand; and The Signature at MGM Grand, a luxury all-suite, non-gaming hotel located adjacent to the main resort.

Andrew Bailey likely out for the season
The Red Sox have placed righthanded reliever Andrew Bailey on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder injury and he is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
"Doing my job recently has been satisfying," Bailey said. "Now to have this. … It's incredibly frustrating."
Bailey was injured last Friday on a pitch when he struck out Jed Lowie. He stayed in the game and struck out Yoenis Cespedes on five pitches.
"It didn't feel good," Bailey said. "The damage was done on that one pitch. The game's a funny game. You throw one pitch and now you've got a decision to make."
Bailey has a labrum tear, a tear in his capsule and a strained subscapularis tendon. One of the Red Sox physicians, Dr. Peter Asnis, made the diagnosis on Monday. Mets team doctor David Altchek confirmed it on Wednesday, as did Yankees team doctor Chris Ahmad on Thursday.
Bailey said he is "gathering information" about his options. The decision comes down to whether to have surgery or try a course of rest and rehabilitation.
"The only way to fix this is surgery, 100 percent fix it. This isn't going to heal on it's own," he said. "We're just trying to gather information about how close I can get it to be stable without injuring it further."
If Bailey decides on rehab, which seems unlikely, there is only a small chance he could return this season.
Bailey is the third late-inning reliever the Red Sox have lost for the season due to injury. Closer Joel Hanrahan had Tommy John elbow surgery in May and will miss 9-12 months.
Lefthander Andrew Miller, a valuable set-up man, tore a ligament in his left foot on July 6 and had surgery on Monday. He will not return until spring training in 2014.
"This is a tough time for us," manager John Farrell said. "But we have to overcome it."
If — or more likely when — Bailey has surgery, he would miss at least one full year.
"It's tough, tough for him more than anything," general manager Ben Cherington said. "Obviously we were counting on him to be a big part of our bullpen."
The Red Sox called up righthander Jose De La Torre from Triple A Pawtucket to replace Bailey on the roster. But Cherington is sure to seek external solutions for late-inning relief.
The Red Sox acquired lefthander Matt Thornton from the White Sox on July 12 to replace Miller. Now, with the non-waiver trade deadline approaching on July 31, Cherington is seeking more help.
"As I said when Miller went down, when a guy goes down you have to replace him somehow," the GM said.
The Sox will evaluate some of their prospects to see whether they offer immediate help. De La Torre and Drake Britton are on the roster now. Brandon Workman, who is in line to start on Tuesday, was initially called up to work in relief and could return to that role.
"We have a number of guys we believe in and this creates opportunity and maybe their time comes a little sooner than we thought," Cherington said.
But Cherington acknowledged that the team being in first place changes the dynamic of roster building.
"The players and the staff have done a terrific job of putting us in this position, giving us a chance. In the front office we have an obligation to try and help if we can. We'll try and do that in a way that makes us better but doesn't alter our long-term course," he said.
"We set out before this year to accomplish something on the way to something long-term, and that's what we're still going to try to do. But we're in it and so we have to react to that and what's going on today. We'll do that; we'll work as hard as we possibly can to find solutions for this team."
For Bailey, the injury is the latest in what has been a series of setbacks. The 29-year-old pitched a full season for Oakland in 2009. In the four seasons since, he has been on the disabled list six times with injuries to his elbow, rib cage, forearm, thumb and right bicep.
Over two seasons with the Red Sox, Bailey has pitched in 49 games. He had a 3.77 ERA in 30 appearances this season.
Doctors told Bailey that he injured his shoulder releasing the pitch to Lowrie. But he believes the issues has been building all season.
Bailey is arbitration eligible for one final season and remains under team control for 2014. But the Red Sox are likely to non-tender Bailey rather than offer him arbitration and pay him a salary close to the $4.1 million is making this season.

Easy Gluten-Free Pizza Dough
Pizza tops the list of foods people miss the most when they go gluten free. And why not? Who doesn't want to sink their teeth into a chewy crust topped with favorite fixings? This gluten-free, allergy-friendly pizza crust recipe is guaranteed to become a regular in your home.
2� cups gluten-free high-protein flour blend
����of choice
� cup millet flour
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons chopped dry or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, optional
5 teaspoons instant active dry yeast
1⅓ cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1. Preheat oven to 450� F. If using a pizza stone, place it on the lowest rack before preheating the oven. Do this 30 to 60 minutes ahead so the stone is very hot. If you're not using a stone, it's not necessary to preheat the oven for an extended period of time.
2. In the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the high-protein blend, millet flour, xanthan gum, salt and rosemary, if used. Blend well. Add the yeast and blend.
3. In a small bowl, combine water, oil, honey and vinegar. Add to dry ingredients.
4. Beat at medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes or until the dough thickens.
5. Scoop half the dough onto a lightly oiled sheet of parchment paper. Cover with a sheet of lightly oiled plastic wrap. Use fingertips and palm to lightly press the dough into a 12-inch circle, creating a rim of dough around the edge.
6. Drizzle 2 teaspoons olive oil over the surface. Top with tomato sauce, if desired, and other topping of choice.
7. Slide pizza (with parchment paper) onto pizza paddle and transfer to preheated stone, sliding pizza and parchment off the paddle and onto the stone. If using a baking sheet, slide pizza and parchment onto a baking sheet and set it on the lowest rack of preheated oven. Bake 20 to 24 minutes. When done, the bottom of the pizza will be brown. (While first pizza is baking, repeat with remaining dough and topping ingredients.)
8. Slide pizza paddle under the parchment and slide the pizzas out of the oven. (Don't worry if the paper tears a little.) Sprinkle pizzas with fresh rosemary, if desired, and serve warm.

Resolving Differences
"We have only been married a short time, and things are going pretty well between us, but something that concerns me is that we don't really solve problems. One of us raises an issue, we talk about it a little, and then we let it drop. What worries me is that eventually, when we have a real problem we can't avoid, we won't know how to deal with it. Are there any strategies for a couple like us to use?"

Forgiveness: Healing the Hurts in Marriage
When we come to marriage we each bring our histories – healed or broken, reflected upon or repressed – to our life together. Our vocation is to help each other become fully human. This means finding a way to share hurts, to risk allowing the other person to know us so intimately that we are willing to open up old wounds and allow God to heal them through each other. Marriage at its best creates a safe space where healing and forgiveness can take place.
"Hope for Troubled Marriages"
A little pamphlet offers big help for troubled marriages. A recent News Note, published by The Christophers, offers seven principles for couples to practice in the face of tough times. The principles help couples to communicate well, fight fair, and learn to forgive.

Every film composed by Jerry Goldsmith possesses his stamp of lyrical and layered composition. Whether it was the sci-fi adventure "The Planet of the Apes" (1968), the paranormal thriller "Poltergeist" (1982), or the romantic drama "The Russian House" (1990), Goldsmith generated scores that accommodated every film he was a part of.
Inspiration struck collegiate Jerry Goldsmith into becoming a film composer after attending music courses taught by "Ben Hur" (1959) film composer, Miklos Rosza. Goldsmith originally planned to become a concert composer and to think that if Goldsmith had not been inspired, a lot of films and television series would be missing his intense and beautiful scores. In 1962, Goldsmith was working for Revue Studios when he scored his first film, "Freud" (1962). Goldsmith received his first Academy Award nomination for his music. Soon after, with the help of fellow film composer Alfred Newman, Goldsmith was put in charge of scoring his own films. And Goldsmith was not afraid to take risks.
With his most famous score for "Planet of the Apes" (1968), Goldsmith was innovative with the use of many different instruments including horns without their mouthpieces. Goldsmith's musical pieces for "Planet of the Apes" balanced out a rush of orchestral energy with traditional instruments such as the piano with more non-traditional instruments such as the snare drums, stainless steel mixing bowls, and xylophones to create a primitive yet contemporary atmosphere for the sci-fi adventure film. Goldsmith was nominated for Academy Award for his efforts and his score was recognized as #18 in AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores list. Composer Danny Elfman's score for the 2001 remake of "Planet of the Apes" possessed traces of Goldsmith's original score but the new combination did not leave as much of a lasting impression as Goldsmith's work.
For Steven Spielberg's "Poltergeist" (1982), Goldsmith had an interesting interpretation on how to score the film, ". . .The human side of the film is what's important not the hardware. Most people saw it as a ghost story and a horror story. I saw it as a love story and wrote the music with that emotion in mind." Goldsmith's theme for "Poltergeist" combination of the simple stringing of the Japanese instrument called the "koto" and the playful melody voiced by a childrens' chorus, brings out a creepy yet melancholy mood. It comes with no surprise that Goldsmith garnered another Academy Award nomination for his score but would lose to John Williams' score for Spielberg's "E.T" (1982).
In throughout his career, Goldsmith's films scores were recognized for nineteen Academy Awards, only winning one for "The Omen" (1976). He was also nominated for five Grammy's and countless Emmy nominations. However, it is not the accolades which make Goldsmith's scores so wonderful, it is the scores themselves. Goldsmith once said, "If our music survives, which I have no doubt it will, then it will be because it was good." And we have no doubt that Goldsmith's extraordinary work will live on for a very long time, if not forever.

Blogs HNN SWF GO ON ATTACK IN DUBAINov 21, 2007 10:56 am
To reassure nervous Nellies, the IMF suggested the funds practice VOLUNTARY TRANSPARENCY. In other words, the IMF suggested that they let us know what they are doing with their money. In the meantime we have to rely on guesses of experts with less than sterling records.
Not on your life, is their response. It is unfair to ask us such questions and if you do not stop it. We will not invest in your country! Now there! And if this is not scary enough, try adding to it a weak dollar and Western businessmen anxious to sell and you will end up with the following:
He told the Financial Times on Monday that the more sophisticated investors were likely to look beyond bank stocks, buying distressed debt instruments either directly or through hedge funds.
His comments were made as some international bankers have recently been courting investors in the Gulf, a region seeing an unprecedented oil-fueled boom, in hopes of finding new buyers for distressed assets created by the credit turmoil.
But Mr bin Sulaiman also warned that any attempt to suck new Gulf buyers into US markets could be damaged by its attitude towards sovereign wealth funds, which have faced a political backlash driven by concerns over transparency and fears that the government funds could turn their financial power into political leverage.
This backlash, he said, could encourage regional houses to turn their backs on western markets and seek more buying opportunities in Asia, where they face little or no such backlash.
"If you need foreign direct investment, you need to be welcoming, not scaring [investors] off," he said. "Talk about sovereign wealth funds is creating a lot of sensitivity, even for private investors. They are already looking elsewhere to hedge their positions."
The International Monetary Fund has been recommending voluntary transparency from sovereign wealth funds to pre-empt compulsory disclosure that could be imposed by some western states. Mr bin Sulaiman said some of the regional funds made such big investments that disclosures would have an impact on markets and put these groups at a disadvantage.
His comments echo the position of other government-backed investors in the region, who cherish the secrecy of their investments and have balked at suggestions they should become more transparent. The DIFC, which has established itself as a regional financial centre, is also part of the new breed of Gulf investors that have pursued aggressive acquisitions abroad.
DIFC Investment, the centre's investment arm, has acquired stakes in pan-European exchanges company Euronext and in Deutsche Bank. Borse Dubai, a government entity partly owned by DIFC, has tied with the US Nasdaq to acquire OMX, the Nordic exchange, and to buy a stake in the London Stock Exchange.
Mr bin Sulaiman confirmed that Borse Dubai's next move was likely to be an investment into an Asian exchange. "It's only logical," he said. "It's a matter of when rather than whether we will [make an acquisition in Asia]."
Nor are these threats falling on deaf ears. I have recently heard Rush Limbaugh tell his audience that it was his feeling that the reason Dubai bought Airbus instead of Boeing is because they resent the American refusal to let them take over the running of our ports!
The FT/DIFC World Financial Centres Summit taking place in Dubai is certainly worth following. We are in the midst of a complicated GO (American know it as Othello) game whose importance cannot be overstated.

The campaign against Jean-Claude Juncker becoming President of the European Commission continues, with Martin Callanan (who might hope to benefit from another campaign against someone getting a job, namely Andrew Lansley becoming the UK's European Commissioner), telling the Today programme that the former Prime Minister of Luxembourg is the 'business-as-usual candidate' who is not the 'reformer who will institute bold and radical change'. Callanan argues that members of the European People's Party are not bound to support Juncker, because 'less than 10 per cent of the electorate in any of the countries that the EPP are now saying they have the votes from actually knew they were voting for anybody at all, never mind Jean-Claude Juncker'.
David Cameron is certainly keen to show that he's serious at least about making his concerns known, even if he fails to block Juncker's rise. As James said yesterday, his tough stance on this issue is important foreshadowing of the way the Prime Minister could behave in the real renegotiation (which will be much harder if Juncker is at the helm, but Tory MPs fear it will also be less effective if Cameron does appoint Lansley as Commissioner).
His overall case for reform is perhaps helped by a normally pro-EU voice calling today for reform. Tony Blair is speaking now to the CBI about the case for change in Europe, arguing that while Europe is 'absolutely necessary' for our future, the European election results mean EU countries must consider their future together very carefully. What Cameron needs is his credibly tough stance to meet a genuine appetite for change in Europe. He suspects that the latter will be rather quelled if Juncker succeeds in taking the top job.

Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in North Carolina
My dad was killed in a car crash in May. now my grandfather is in charge of all his money. All his items were left to me. I am a minor. One of the things my grandfather is In charge of is paying my phone bill. He has decided to stop paying my bills like he expose to he also tried to auction of all my items that my dad left to me without my knowledge. What I'm basically asking is since he is in charge of paying all my bills does he have to. Also is sueing him for trying to sell my house and all items Inside a good idea.
1 Answer from Attorneys
You have posted some more facts but there is still no reason for your grandfather to be paying your bills. Unless there is some kind of trust set up he does not have this responsibility. Unless you have a written document (a will or trust) which REQUIRES grandfather to pay your bills then he does not have to do so. So the answer to your question of whether the grandfather has to pay your bills is NO unless there is some written document which says otherwise.
You mention that your grandfather is having an auction and that he is trying to sell "your" house. It is not "your" house. As I told you, minors cannot own property and all claims against the estate have to be paid before the heirs to the estate get anything.
Why is there a sale? Does the estate need to raise money? Is there a will or trust? What does it say if so?.
You really really need to talk to your mother or guardian and have them get a lawyer.

FLT3 and KIT mutated pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples are sensitive in vitro to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor SU11657
New treatment strategies to improve the outcome of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are required as 40% of children diagnosed with AML do not survive. Around 30% of pediatric AML patients harbour a mutation in the tyrosine kinases FLT3 (±20%) or KIT (±10%). In this study we investigated whether pediatric AML samples (N= 61) were sensitive to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor SU11657 (similar to the clinically available drug sunitinib) in vitro, and whether sensitivity was related to expression of, and mutations in, FLT3 and KIT. Overall, SU11657 showed only moderate cytotoxicity. A FLT3 mutation was detected in 35% and a KIT mutation in 8% of the samples. FLT3 and KIT mutated samples were significantly more sensitive to SU11657 than WT KIT and FLT3 samples. Samples without KIT or FLT3 mutations, but with a high wild-type (WT) KIT expression were significantly more sensitive to SU11657 than samples with low KIT expression. Further clinical evaluation of SU11657 and sunitinib combined with chemotherapy would be of interest. Inclusion in clinical trials should not be restricted to patients with FLT3 or KIT mutations.

While most bird-lovers would think our feathered friends only need help during the Winter months, the RSPB is urging people to put out food during the Summer too.
While many are currently trying to find food to feed hungry chicks, cool and wet conditions such as those experienced in many parts of the UK recently, have made it very difficult for birds to find their staple insect food and in particular caterpillars.
Richard James, a wildlife advisor at the RSPB said "Birds need to find food for their young brood quickly and don't want to be away from them for too long, so having a supply of seeds, mealworms and suitable kitchen leftovers can really help them out."
And the charity is also asking gardeners to plant insect friendly flowers too, so butterflies, bees and other insects can thrive as well as leaving out tinned dog or cat food, crushed biscuits or specialist hedgehog food for hedgehogs.

It is with a great sense of dismay for me to read that incumbent state Sen. Frank Padavan (R-Bellerose) is far ahead in the polls. My husband and I have been homeowners in Bayside since 1984, having married in Massachusetts last year after 30 years together. It is ironic for me to walk past the — thankfully few — lawn signs on my street supporting him.
The tagline "Nobody Cares Like Frank" should include "unless you are a member of the LGBT community." In keeping with a list of other outdated and out-of-step positions, Padavan is no friend of those of us who share the same pride and interest in keeping our community one of the most livable and desirable in the city yet are denied the rights and privileges that our heterosexual neighbors enjoy.
Tony Avella, on the other hand, has consistently demonstrated his support for the LGBT community and warmly addressed the supporters of Marriage Equality prior to our walk across the Brooklyn Bridge Sept. 26. I encourage more of my less outspoken neighbors — gay, straight or in-between — to do the right thing on Election Day and cast a heartfelt vote to end this bigotry once and for all.
That would truly be a change and a step in the right direction.

Sounds great!
What T stop would I get off at to get there?
-------- Reply ----------
In the cold weather go to Andrew or Fields Corner on the Red Line and take the #17 bus. This connects the two stations via Uphams Corner. Ask the driver to let you off at St Peter's Church on Bowdoin St. The Irie is across the street from St Peter's.
In warm weather you can walk up Adams St. from Fields Corner. It's about a 15-minute walk. St Peters is on the left at the top of the hill.
Ask about the specials at Irie. I love the Salt Cod and akee.
Don't forget to check out the First Parish -the old white wooden church on the hill. Come by the Parish St. entrance and ask for Tord, Mike or Barbara for a quick tour. If I am around and the weather is good, I'll take you up to the tower and let you ring the Dorchester Bell that dates to the 18th century. This was one of the 6 founding churches of Harvard University.
