Someone Please Call Off This 'Search'
Tuesday, March 6, 2007
It's unlikely that the six oversexed, underdressed pop tarts in the all-girl band the Pussycat Dolls need another member.
Really, how many young women does it take to sing, bop and gyrate to such hit songs as "Hot Stuff," "Buttons" and the ubiquitous "Don't Cha" (as in "Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?)"
But when you're the CW network, and you're chasing that elusive young male demographic, you can always help add a wing to the 'Cat house.
From such motives comes "The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll" (debuting tonight), in which 18 nubile contestants shimmy and shake body parts in hopes of joining the pop/burlesque/merchandising machine that is the Dolls.
Although the show offers plenty of eye candy, the opening episode is a painful bore as the women -- ranging in age from late teens to 27 -- converge in Los Angeles to cohabit, bond and test their moves. (The field is immediately cut to nine tonight, and one contestant will be eliminated each subsequent week.)
The band was created by Robin Antin, who serves as the series's mother hen, as well as a judge. Through a suspiciously tight face, she scolds, she encourages -- smiling a too-perfect smile. (The other judges include Ron Fair, chairman of Geffen Records, and singer Lil' Kim, whom we don't see until the second episode.) Halfway through tonight's show, the wannabes get to meet the real Dolls backstage at an L.A. concert. Lead singer Nicole Scherzinger later attends the audition to judge the first round.
As for the cute contestants, their reasons for trying out vary. Brittany, 20, of Virginia Beach, tells us earnestly that the band is "all about female empowerment and I am all about female empowerment."
Female empowerment, evidently, means dancing around in your sequined skivvies and uttering lyrics such as: "Baby, can't you see? How these clothes are fittin' on me? . . . I'm tellin' you to loosen up my buttons, babe."
Melissa, 24, from Auburn Hills, Mich., gives a simpler explanation: "When I first saw the Pussycat Dolls, I was like, 'Damn, these girls are fly.' "
The series follows the trite-and-true reality-show formula, from cattiness to high emotions (the first tears come about 11 minutes into the show) to plenty of sob stories about the contestants. (The teenage mom! The disapproving parents! The hard times spent living out of a car!)
Just when we get used to the crying and the sniping and the attempts at harmonizing, we get a Sudden Plot Twist: The contestants all contract a virus, and we endure rather nasty close-ups of their suffering. Girls Gone Queasy.
It seems unfair to make the women go through the audition while ill, but Antin, still smiling, insists that it's part of the game. "Being sick is not an excuse," she says. "When the Pussycat Dolls are sick, they get onstage and play."
One ailing contestant, Chelsea, 20, of Cooper City, Fla., speaks for all of us when she says at show's end: "I started to cry and I also wanted to throw up."
The Pussycat Dolls Present: Searching for the Next Doll (one hour) premieres tonight at 9 on Channel 50.

Crompion's new LLT Clarifier reduces the juice turbidity at the retention time of 30 minutes or lower. These results have been validated by industrial trials where the LLT was run side by side with alternative clarifier designs.
Most of the old clarifiers still in use today have a retention span in the range of one to two hours. Some of the new "best technology" clarifiers range between 30-45 minutes. Commercial tests have demonstrated that the LLT design outperformed the conventional designs in terms of turbidity levels.
Shorter residence time results in less sucrose destruction and color formation. With residence time at below 30 minutes, it is estimated that the money saved on sugar loss from a traditional clarifier could pay for the LLT Clarifier in just over a year. Because of the shorter residence time, heat losses are also reduced, which results in energy savings.
Additional long-term savings can be gained by building your new LLT clarifier out of our high-performing, cost-efficient Cromgard® Stainless Steel. For LLT Clarifier pricing or more information, contact us at 225-343-4219 and ask for a member of our technical services team.
Alternative Applications: Applicable to more than just the sugar industry, alternative application include anywhere solid separation is critical such as Water Treatment, Pulp & Paper, Petro Chemical, Mining and more.

Search For the Battleship Bismarck Trailer (1989)
16 March 1989
Sink the Bismarck!'' was the cry as British forces searched the Atlantic for the German navy's most powerful vessel. The pursuit ended on May 27, 1941, in a battle that plunged the Bismarck into waters nearly three miles deep, taking with it more than 2,000 lives. Almost half a century later, explorer and scientist Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the sunken Titanic, searched the Atlantic for the infamous Bismarck. On June 8, 1989, he located the sunken ship, 600 miles off the coast of France. National Geographic looks back at the first, and last, mission of the Bismarck and talks with survivors of the notorious World War II battle. Then, in its climatic chapter, the story reveals exclusive footage of this remarkable undersea exploration.

Cement imported from Cuba will not attract the 15 per cent increase in price announced by the Caribbean Cement Company Limited a few weeks ago. The decision was taken at a meeting yesterday between Phillip Paulwell, the minister of industry, technology, energy and commerce, and the Caribbean Cement Company.
"Under the new arrangement, cement imported from Cuba by the Government of Jamaica and distributed by the Caribbean Cement Company Limited will not be subject to the recently announced 15 per cent price increase per bag," the ministry said in a statement yesterday. "In addition, future cement imports from Cuba, subject to any variation in shipping costs, will not attract the increased price."
The ministry also said that Paulwell is talking with the Cuban authorities to package 40,000 tonnes of the bulk cement earmarked for shipment to Jamaica. "This bagged cement will serve to ensure the availability of increased supplies of cement to the medium and smaller consumers of the product," the ministry said.

Moms and Dads Flunk a Parenting Test
By ERIC NAGOURNEY
Many new parents wonder if they know what they're doing. A new study suggests there may be grounds for these worries.
A national survey by Zero to Three, a nonprofit clearinghouse for information about child development, has found what it calls serious gaps in many people's basic knowledge of raising children.
The group paints a portrait of parents and prospective parents who have unrealistic expectations of what children can do, and of how best to help them meet their potential. Many do not realize, for example, that the average child is unable to share a toy until at least age 2; most said they thought a 15-month-old could.
And 44 percent of those questioned believed incorrectly, in Zero-to-Three's view, that picking up a 3-month-old every time he cried would spoil him.
About 60 percent of parents still spank, even though they concede the punishment is ineffective.
Others seemed unaware of how tuned in infants are to their surroundings, including conflict and adults' emotional problems. "They are taking it all in," said Dr. Kyle D.Pruett, a Yale professor and the president of Zero to Three. "They're like sponges."
The survey, conducted this year, involved 3,000 adults, 1,066 of whom were parents of children up to age 6. It was commissioned by Civitas, a nonprofit group that tries to help people raising children, and it was paid for by a toy company.
One finding stood out, Dr. Pruett said. "The people who have the least amount of appropriate information and the greatest confusion are those who plan to be parents," he said.

A parliamentarian for over four decades, Vajpayee was elected to the Lok Sabha (the lower house of India's Parliament) nine times, and twice to the Rajya Sabha (upper house). He also served as the Member of Parliament for Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, until 2009, when he retired from active politics due to health concerns. Vajpayee was one amongst the founder members of erstwhile Bharatiya Jana Sangh, which he had also headed. He was also the Minister of External Affairs in the cabinet of Morarji Desai. When Janata government collapsed, Vajpayee restarted the Jana Sangh as the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1980.

The VH1 biopic of platinum-selling girl group TLC is taking shape.
Rapper and VMA stage crasher Lil Mama, Keke Palmer and actress-singer Drew Sidora ("The Game") are set to portray the groundbreaking R&B/hip-hop/pop trio known for its brazen anthems and fiery interpersonal drama.
"I would sing 'No Scrubs' over and over again to the point my parents would have to tell me to stop, but I never did, I had my little hairbrush as my mic and nobody could tell me I wasn't the fourth member of TLC," Palmer said in a statement announcing her casting.
Lil Mama, the rambunctious voice behind "Lip Gloss" and judge of MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew," will take on the role of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who died in a car crash in Honduras in 2002. Palmer ("Akeela & the Bee") is tapped to portray Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas, and Sidora will play Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins.

Angelina Jolie and MTV Team Up on Africa Documentary
MTV News documented a recent trip to Kenya by Angelina Jolie, in her continued efforts to bring attention to extreme poverty in the region.
The Diary of Angelina Jolie & Dr Jeffrey Sachs in Africa, which airs Sept. 14, is a 30-minute special following the actress and United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan's deputy on a visit to Kenyan village Sauri, where Sach's U.N. Millennium Project team is working to end hunger and
In introducing the program, Jolie says, "If my kid was hungry or asked me
for food, to not have anything to give my children for dinner, I cannot imagine
how horrible that feeling would be as a parent. We are in Sauri to see how
the challenges that have plagued Africa for so long can be met."
The documentary shows Jolie and Sachs meeting villagers and observing how their
lives have been affected by the lack of clean water, malnutrition and poor
health care. The special also shows efforts that have been made to address these
Jolie, a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, adds, "I'm certain the stories
in this special will inspire viewers the same way these experiences have
inspired me, and I'm hopeful that increased awareness of the issues in Africa
will bring about a new wave of progress and activism among young people

Single Sign On, rostering, and access to digital resources through integrations such as Thin Common Cartridge are not just IT areas of concern. These are core areas that have instructional impact when they are not implemented consistently with standards. That is why I am happy so many publishers have worked with IMS Global on the plug and play edtech revolution.
Many higher education institutions or K-12 school districts may be one of the largest employers in their region, but as pointed out by in this prescient paper on the future of educational information technology even the largest institutions lack sufficient resources to invest adequately in instructional technology innovation. The bottom line is that collaboration among institutions is required to address the daunting challenge of creating the future of teaching and learning and the required supporting technologies.
What type of collaboration will advance innovation while reducing unnecessary costs?
Education needs a to leverage the power of a common architecture built on open, community-governed standards that allow an institution to quickly and easily customize their EdTech environment, thus creating an EdTech ecosystem that enables and supports creativity. Such a platform would reduce investment on repetitive integrations, lower barriers to entry and focus investment on educational innovation.
This cannot be a single platform provided by one company or evolved by a single institution or supplier, due to the required diversity and inclusion of education. As described in the breakthrough article, A New Architecture for Learning, this architecture must be achieved via an educational community (institutional and supplier) collaboration and based on open standards. No one contributor owns, but all contribute.
The IMS Global community is leading the definition, development, adoption and evolution of this architecture and resulting business ecosystem for the purpose of advancing educational innovation.

The Squash Venue of the Year award recognises the outstanding work of a team of volunteers/leaders/coaches/paid staff who have developed effective squash structures, coaching, playing and competition programmes to recruit and retain players at their squash facility (leisure centre, club, university, school).
In order to achieve such an award, the club had to provide evidence against a number of criteria:
- How they engage and recruit players
- How they have got more people playing and staying in squash
- Community engagement and how they have grown the sport within their facility
- Workforce involved in developing and implementing squash programmes
- Effective squash structures
- Coaching, playing and competition programmes delivered
- Number of junior and adult members
- Innovative practice
They also had to complete a 30 minute telephone interview with the England Squash Participation Manager.
Upon receiving the award, Andy Bright, Chairman of Brackley Squash Club, said:
"As a small club, it's a totally amazing feeling to win Squash Venue of the Year; it's something we never expected. We were happy to be in the top 3, but to actually win the award is unbelievable."
"This is part of our five year plan. We're currently 2 years into the plan and the next 3 years will see us building participation, looking towards additional funding and generally having a much greater involvement with England Squash. The ultimate aim is to be a part of a 'sports hub' facility in 2020, which is the next phase for sport in the Brackley region."
With squash participation continuing to grow across the county, Alex Le Guével, Sports Development Officer (NGB's) for Northamptonshire Sport, is keen to use the club's unprecedented success to raise awareness of a sport which often gets overlooked:
"The hard work of Andy Bright and his dedicated team of volunteers is an example for all sports clubs across the county to follow. I'm incredibly proud of their latest achievement and very much look forward to supporting them in the next phase of their five year plan."
"With six junior coaching programmes running across Northamptonshire every week, the inaugural Workplace Challenge Squash Competition on the horizon and a 'Month of Squash' Campaign being planned for April, there's never been a better time to pick up your racket and get involved!"

Last week, I tried out blogging by tweet, so here I go again! This time, I talked about Writer's Restraint starting at 5 PM CST on June 30, 2014.
Reading is something all writers have to aspire to. The more writers read, the more they'll understand about how the publishing game has worked in the past, what structures work, what plots do nothing. Reading gives writers the audience perspective, something that's of great importance when starting or editing any project.
For someone with as varied tastes as myself, it's not easy picking out what to read. Unlike many people, I'll stop reading a book if it doesn't appeal to me or if I'm just not in the mood. A great example of this is Mike Carey's Felix Castor books; every time I try to read The Devil You Know, I find myself in the wrong mood and unable to get out of the first chapter. That doesn't mean I won't read it, that just means I've been trying to read it at the wrong times. Continue reading
In the past few days, I've been forced to wait longer, much longer than I would like to get my copy of Jim Butcher's Ghost Story, a Dresden Files novel I pre-ordered and paid for at the beginning of June. Usually, the book would have come out at the beginning of April, as most Dresden Files books do. This one didn't because Butcher wanted to take some time to make the book good and really worthwhile.
Of course, in the business of selling books, that just makes a lot of readers wonder what's taking so long. So I ask, why can't writers write fast enough?
Earlier, I was asked by one of my writing buddies to explain my thoughts on short story writing compared to novel writing and how it got me to write a novel. Here's part of my reply, the part where I explain just how I was able to come up with the story that eventually became Mind & Machine.
Twice a year, I stock up on books. I tell myself that I'm getting everything that I'm going to read for the next six months, but something, a Brandon Sanderson or Jim Butcher book for example, always comes up. A lot of what I try to do is find things to read that will not only prove interesting, but also will help me become a better writer. Continue reading
This is probably a primer for another post. I'll let you decide.
I've read a great many books in my life. You might think that they would be fantasy or science fiction, but, with one exception, this was not the case until I hit college. Before then, I read Stephen King and John Grisham. King and Grisham, Grisham and King. Before them were a handful of other works, between them came school reading and The Hobbit. Continue reading

Hopes are high for Marco Mattiacci, the new CEO of Ferrari of North America Inc., to raise US sales. Mattiacci took on the position on Jan. 1, replacing Maurizio Parlato, who unfortunately was let go after seven years as North American chief.
Volume fell 14% in 2009 to 1,467. Dealers said that cars were no longer delivered to dealer stocks and that cars will only be built once customers sign the contracts.
Dealers also pointed out that the arrival of the new California coupe, which was supposed to go on sale in early 2009, was delayed and only arrived in midsummer.
As a result, it missed a portion of the prime selling season. While the 458 Italia received much praise at the Frankfurt auto show last September, deliveries have only just started.
This vehicle replaces the 430, which US dealers consider as their top seller. Ferrari experienced more woes. Ferrari's global revenues dropped by more than 7% last year to 1.78 billion euros ($2.43 billion).
A total of 182 Ferrari employees left last year, leaving only 2,835. Mattiacci had said in an interview that he is confident in the brand's heritage and product lineup.
He seeks to continue Ferrari's marketing campaign, which he says is based on exclusivity. Mattiacci said that Ferrari will benefit from its two new models. The North American market is something that Mattiacci knows much about. He served as head of marketing until 2006 when he became CEO of Ferrari Asia Pacific.

A CIO Insight analysis of government data reveals that payrolls among the nation's producers of computer hardware, software and services didn't keep up with overall job growth over the past five years.
The Fine Print
Jobs within these businesses aren't all technical; they include administrative, marketing, sales and support positions. But the bulk of the jobs in each sector are technical.
Because large IT companies could employ workers in several sectors, their employment could be scattered among different categories, based on individual worksites. For example, IBM employees designing, manufacturing and selling eServers would be grouped within the Computer and Peripheral Manufacturers category, while those employed by the unit that creates and supports WebSphere middleware would be placed within the Software Publishers group.

In this astonishing, untold account of heroism and history, two American Merchant Mariners board a burning and sinking ship in the Mediterranean change the course of World War II. In 1942, the small Mediterranean island of Malta was the most heavily bombed place on earth. Its submarine and air attacks on Axis supply convoys were all that kept Rommel from marching across North Africa to take the oil in Iran and Iraq for Hitler. But Malta was out of fuel, down to its final days. Operation Pedestal was Malta's last hope, a giant convoy with more that 50 warships escorting 13 freighters and one life-or-death tanker, the SS Ohio, carrying 103,000 barrels of oil from Texas. It was bombed, torpedoed, and abandoned.
Two American Merchant Mariners, Frederick Larsen and Francis Dales, whose own freighters had sunk in towering flames along with eight others, boarded the Ohio. They repaired the guns and fought the Axis dive-bombers for two days as the sinking tanker was towed by destroyers. Malta was saved, Rommel was turned back, and the Allies started to turn the tide of war.
At All Costs is a gripping story reported in grand historic fashion. It is a tale of unimaginable personal courage and indomitable determination.
Exploding torpedoes, diving German bombers, and ships' holds full of aviation fuel waiting to explode couldn't offer better suspense and action to lovers of thrillers. Informative flashbacks and detailed descriptions of characters will keep listeners glued to every word when the action wanes. Michael Prichard's ability with dry wit matches the author's style. You can sense his smile as he describes the fiery British General Montgomery. Prichard uses a repertoire of voices for the characters, adding a wonderful richness to the story he tells. Although his foreign accents sound a little corny, they add to the entertainment and help listeners keep track of which side of WWII the speaker belongs to. Anyone who thinks history is a dry subject hasn't heard this audiobook.

While the Google Play Store is lovely and convenient, it does have some major flaws in the system and the main one that people dislike it Google knowing everything about you. Personally, I don't have any issue with Google advertisements being targeted to my needs; I see a reason for that and frankly I prefer them being for me compared to just random. However, a developer that goes by the name of Jackpf has developed a new tool called APK Downloader, and it means that you can install applications without needing Google Play Services. Normally it is these services that are the requirements to get the apps available on Google Play.
Everybody knows there are other places that host app, but sometimes developers put restrictions on where they want their apps distributed. With this Downloader nearly all the same apps that you would normally find at Play Store only participants are now available without the Google's services at all. Quite a remarkable achievement for somebody who only has a few posts over at XDA Developers.
How useful is this idea? Like I already mentioned, for me it's bogus because I have no issue with knowing me or my data and I certainly don't mind them using that information to advertise. I have come to love the banner advertisement at the worst of times. Nonetheless, I want ads that better suit me. I'm sure there are people with the same thoughts as me and I'm sure there are others who share the same options to the developer who came up with the APK. From an ideas point alone the new tool looks fantastic as long as it remains above-board and doesn't turn into something that the Mountain View company take offense to.
The new app is available coincidentally from the Play Store here and is ready to download right away. With it you can use the framework ID along with a Google account to activate the software.

Did Mendel fake is data?. Do a quick internet search and can you find opinions that support or reject this point of view. Does it matter? Should it matter?. Does the data fit?.

78 to 22 fit?? 85 to 15?
A way to state expected outcome
Example 1: Hybrid parents will produce a 3:1 genotypic ration (predicted values based on punnett square analysis)
Example 2: Flipping a coin should land on heads 50% of the time.
**Chi-square is used to REJECT a hypothesis not to PROVE it.
If this coin is fair…then we would expect the chi-square analysis to show us the results are due only to chance and not due to some other hypothesis.
Let's look how coin data either:
Rejects a hypothesis that a coin is fair or
Suggests that the hypothesis that a coin is fair is likely.
2 = (55 - 50)2 / 50 + (45 - 502 / 50
= (5)2 /50 + (-5)2 / 100
= 25 / 50 + 25 / 50
= 0.50 + 0.50
= 1.0
Question: Is this corn the result of the following dihybrid cross:
PpSs X PpSs
-First do the Punnett Square
-Find the expected outcomes
-Compare actual to expected by doing chi square. Share your results with a nearby group.
Introduction: How does the dihybrid cross show Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment? Identify the traits you will be looking at in the corn.
Hypothesis: What do you expect from crossing two heterozygotes—may show a Punnett Square.
Methods: How did you count a random sample of the corn? What does each kernel on the corn represent?
-Chi-square analysis for your data.
-Chi-square analysis for another group's data.

7 Tips to Boost Employee Engagement with Performance Management
Sep 24, 2013
Smart manufacturers would never operate in a place where the supply chain was uncertain. That's simply good business sense. Yet many companies operate without a sufficient supply of their most critical resource: high-quality workers.� Disinterested, disengaged employees who view their jobs as a distasteful necessity put the health of the company at risk. Smart companies, on the other hand, know that a solid foundation of engaged employees is the single best starting point for building and growing a business. Unfortunately for many manufacturers, employee engagement is low today. Gallup's 2012 Employee Engagement Index found that less than one in four manufacturing employees are engaged. Building employee engagement, a management trend that crosses all industries today, involves motivating people in a way that ensures the employees have a vested interest in helping the business attain its organizational goals. It means de-emphasizing the traditional "cascade structure" in which strategy is created at the top and expected to trickle down. Research confirms the success of the engaged employee model. The Gallup analysis found that highly engaged manufacturing employees can boost productivity by an average of 19 percent and safety by 62 percent compared to poorly engaged employees. High engagement was strongly correlated with employee retention, drastically reducing turnover, and 27 percent less absenteeism. A study conducted by Development Dimensions International (DDI) of a Fortune 100 manufacturing company found that quality errors (as measured by external and internal parts per million) stood at 5,658 for low-engagement groups of employees and only 52 for high-engagement groups. Thomas McCoy, director of the Employee Engagement Institute (EEI), told IMT that a solid engagement system is essentially a powerful leadership development process. "A good engagement system will develop focus, understanding, commitment and accountability on the part of all employees," said McCoy. At the crux of most successful employee engagement programs is an effective performance evaluation system, often software-based, which builds this understanding and accountability into a worker's individual goals. While most companies engage in some kind of performance evaluation, companies with the most highly engaged employees have some best practices in common. 1. Make it about career development. Rather than focusing on past performance, align the evaluation more closely to the employee's career development and future. While previous performance shouldn't be ignored, if employees feel that the evaluations are a real tool to help them advance or earn raises, they will be better motivated. It's simply a human trait to be more motivated when there's "something in it for me." 2. Build real goals. The corporate world suffers from an overabundance of meaningless PR language. Employee evaluations aren't the place for it. Avoid nebulous directives like "be more efficient." Set actual goals using direct language and be sure employees understand them. Ask employees if they have any specific goals of their own, such as learning a new skill or achieving a certain certification, and make them part of the evaluation. 3. Set metrics. As the old saying goes, if you can't measure it, you can't manage it, so manufacturing employee evaluations should measure concrete goals such as safety, productivity, error reduction, machinery maintenance, and resource use. 4. Customization. Many performance evaluation solutions are built with sales teams in mind. Ensure that any solution that will be used in a manufacturing setting is customizable for industry-specific goals such as safety practices, process efficiency, certification, and equipment knowledge. 5. Make it easy to use and intuitive. Many enterprise solutions suffer from an overabundance of features and a level of complexity that lead to low adoption rates. While training may be necessary to some extent, using a system that is intuitive and visual -- point-and-click is ideal -- will ensure managers use it. 6. Evaluate managers on employee engagement. Some managers will be more effective than others at building an engaged workforce. Use this as a criterion in managers' own performance evaluations. Managers who can't boost the engagement of employees may not be right for the organization. 7. Do it regularly. The traditional performance evaluation model is an annual one. This leaves room for surprises: employees confident of a good review become resentful when issues they were unaware of are sprung on them. Problems raised annually may be too entrenched to fix. By evaluating quarterly or even monthly, employees and managers can align their expectations more closely, surprises are eliminated and goals are more likely to be reached. Louis Posthauer, vice president of sales for performance management solutions provider Bullseye Evaluation, emphasizes this latter point strongly. "Frequent communication drives better performance, understanding, reaching goals and ROI impact," he told IMT. "It's not rocket science, but most companies don't do it. It follows the same idea as a simple parenting concept: talk to your kids every day, not at the end of the month when their allowance is due." This is not to say managers should treat employees like children. In fact, the opposite is true when it comes to employee engagement. The EEI's McCoy notes that organizations that have the most engaged employees share one great overriding characteristic. "They treat employees like business partners," said McCoy.

Chinese New Year 2012
December 4, 2011 by staff
Chinese New Year 2012, Strong retail sales in the US and Europe are raising prospects of an inventory replenishment drive to buoy orders and give the carriers something to look forward to in the New Year.
The ancient Mayans predicted the world would end in 2012 and as far as the container shipping industry is concerned, they may be right. With the US and European economies doing their best to commit suicide, the 2012 outlook is the exact opposite of "fantastic!".
For that matter, 2011 is not going to finish on a high either, and the world's liner industry will want to forget 2011 as fast as it erased 2009 from memory.
Profitability has long been forgotten and the carriers are in severe cost-cutting mode, idling capacity and increasing slack season service withdrawals. Malaysian shipping line MISC even pulled out of the container shipping business altogether after losing almost a billion dollars in four years.
But wait. Black Friday in the US proved that consumers are ready to spend; they just want "doorstopper" prices. A record US$52 billion sent tills ringing off counters.
European consumers are also expected to reach for their wallets this December as hopes rise that their dismal bunch of leaders can find a way out of the deep debt hole.
As we said before in this blog, surely the unexpected consumer demand will deplete inventories that have been kept tightly controlled all year. If there is nothing on the shelves and the warehouses are bare, the retailers will need to get their orders in.
Traditionally there is a surge in air and ocean freight exports from Asia before China shuts down for the Lunar New Year holidays. The problem is that Chinese New Year will be early in 2012, the week of January 23, and orders need to be placed soon if they are to me produced in time. The one positive is that China doesn't bother with Christmas and the western New Year holidays.
Interestingly, a forwarder told us that while shipments had not come to a halt, his customers had been slashing volumes. With such small margins, the forwarder is predicting hard times next year and believed the smaller volumes will become the norm as retailers remain cautious and consumers watch their discretionary spending.

LONDON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - For all the speculation in the past week about a "tapering" of ECB asset purchases, trade in money markets suggests some investors are betting on the central bank pursuing its bond buying spree by removing its self-imposed floor.
Talk that the European Central Bank will lift the ban on buying bonds yielding less than its deposit rate appears to be gaining ground, prompting benchmark euro zone two-year bond yields to fall far below money market interest rates.
As this graphic tmsnrt.rs/2dL8rQQ shows, the gap between two-year German government bond yields, the euro zone benchmark, and equivalent Eonia rates is at its widest in around four years.
Eonia is a weighted average of overnight lending between the most active credit institutions in the euro zone's money market.
"Removal of the depo floor entails the ECB buying across the curve (2 to 31 years) instead of just buying bonds above the depo rate," said Uffe Kalmar Hansen, a senior analyst at Nordea.
"Buying across the curve will therefore also impact two-year bonds where yields would be expected to fall. I wouldn't expect much movement in Eonia as it is tied to the depo rate. This would therefore result in spread widening," he said.
Given that markets are not anticipating the ECB will cut interest rates much further, analysts have been puzzled at the recent fall in short-dated bond yields and say speculation about tweaks to the ECB asset purchases help explain the move.
ABN AMRO estimates that removing the depo floor will free up 600 billion euros of German bonds for purchase. It expects the ECB to take this step and announce an extension of the 1.7 trillion euro programme by six months in December.
"The market is starting to price in the floor removal more. This is why bonds are outperforming money market rates like Eonia," said Kim Liu, senior fixed income strategist at ABN AMRO.

I resolve never to make New Year's Resolutions.
That doesn't mean that I drift from one year to the next without trying to improve a few things. But I make goals instead of resolutions.
Resolutions tend to be negative: lose weight, quit smoking, etc, while goals are positive. Every year I put my goals down in a different way. Sometimes I write them down on a legal pad. Last year I made a document in OmniOutliner. This year I'm making an Excel spreadsheet.
Categories reside in the far left column, while months run along the top. My goal spreadsheet encompasses both business goals and personal goals because I am just one person with a limited number of hours in any day. I cannot over-plan in one area without potentially destroying any chance of completing items in another area.
I have also left most of the grid blank. I've dropped in items for January and February, but only added a handful of things in March-December. Why? Because life has a funny way of turning our plans upside down.
Work-wise, if I get positive feedback on one or two critical items, then that will change my priorities for the months to follow.
Personal-wise, we are planning to buy a new house this year. Whatever month that actually occurs, I guarantee that all crafty and many worky things will have to be postponed or abandoned altogether for a period of three weeks+ while we paint the new house, pack the old, move the old, and do those last-minute fixes on the old house before we put it on the market. So will that be May? June? July? Dunno.
I won't bore you with my work goals, but here are my personal goals for January.
- Finish one serviceman's sock
- Finish left front of V-neck cardigan
- Reach arms of bi-color cable
- Complete 1st chart of shawl
- Complete Sea feral purse
- Practice spiral crochet on waste yarn
- Finish shield quilt
Bobbin lace
- Finish domino frame
- Complete Aventuras en la Ciudad
- Watch/listen to 2 language podcasts every day
In other news, my eagle-eyed spouse sent me a to a NY Times article that credits The Yarn Harlot for adding a new word to the English language.
Knitters Rule!
Happy New Year!

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
THIS IS NOT ME. I did, however, make the costume she is wearing! You can read more about it under Personal Thoughts. :D
I made the bulk of this outfit, with assistance from Cepia/Paula on jewelry and accessories! The leotard consists of 2 layers of swimsuit lining and one top layer of spandex. Skirt is a circle hand-stitched into pleats, and the collar was designed by the filmmakers to fall down to her lower back and form a small cape. The gold "V" is pleather trim stitched into a three-dimensional piece. The skirt, bows, collar, and accessories are completely detachable from the leotard and held on by handsewn snaps. The chest bow is actually the same one from my own Sailor Moon costume. I put a ton of hard work into this costume to make it as solid as a rock (it will be used in various stunts), which goes to say that it's by far the best fuku I've made yet! Yay!
- Personal Thoughts:
- Some good friends of mine are currently hard at work on an independent Sailor Moon film and asked me to make the main costume for their lovely star, Avery Danielle! I was thrilled to be a part of it, and super proud of how awesome she looks! If you're curious, you can check out all their progress at their Facebook page! :D

Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor, dies at 87
(FOX News) - Elie Wiesel, who documented his experience of the Holocaust in the best-selling memoir "Night" and went on to become an influential author and Nobel Peace Prize winner, died Saturday at the age of 87.
Wiesel's death was first reported by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and confirmed on Twitter by Israel's Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem.
Born in Romania in 1928, Wiesel wrote extensively about his experiences in the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Buna during World War II. "Night", first published in English in 1960, would go on to be translated into 30 languages and sell six million copies in the United States alone.
In all, Wiesel wrote 57 books and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.

Morristown, TN (PressExposure) September 06, 2009 -- Author and international public speaker Tee Morris, the creative mind behind All a Twitter, Podcasting for Dummies, and the MOREVI podcast, joins Radio Dentata for a Wednesday line-up of business minded segments.
An accomplished public speaker, writer, and instructor, Tee has been immersed in Social Media since the beginning of podcasting and brings his background to Radio Dentata. "Social Media has the potential of increasing your presence, both from a commercial and from a personal perspective, on the global stage. I travel across the United States and around the world giving talks and workshops on what this user-generated content can do for you and your business. That's what I want to bring to Radio Dentata: creative solutions."
Tee was approached by Radio Dentata to bring his podcast In Your Right Mind, a podcast (of both audio and video) that offers creativity as a viable solution to situations in the workplace. "My podcast covers things from video editing to planning out podcasts to personal health tips, all of these approaches presented as worthwhile investments in upcoming projects and presentations you may face at your day job. I believe that the best solutions for problems involve using not only the left side of your brain, but the creative-right as well, hence the name 'In Your Right Mind'."
With over a decade of consulting behind him, Tee strives to come up with the best solutions for presentation and project execution though clever thinking and implementation of Social Media. With his recent title, All a Twitter, he challenges readers to break the mold of keeping score and the status quo. "People equate 'the power of Twitter' with the numbers in their networks. Have you ever looked at the feeds for people who have these gargantuan followers? Usually they are endless retweets, repeated roll calls on 'Follow Friday' and quotes from other people. My accounts are modest in their numbers because I look for quality in my network. I do not follow everyone who follows me. I block spammers. I review feeds that query me because I will always make a better judgment call than an automated service will."
When asked what kind of "fit" Tee felt In Your Right Mind had within the "adult content" programming at Radio Dentata, he states, "Well, last time I checked, we're all grown-up here and we all have day jobs. I'm just the voice of Social Media. For the saucier stuff, I leave that to Frankie."

After I was able to actually be awake and 'functioning' enough to think about it, and even maybe on a good day, read a paragraph of a book, I suddenly started to ask myself, "Is it my fault that I have CFS?".
Was it really as bad as all I thought it was? Maybe I wasn't that sick after all. Was it all in my head? Why I had been given this 'lesson' as a lot of self-help authors might have us believe? Why or why did this so-called beautiful 'lesson' have to be so damn difficult?
Please listen to this, my love.
This is not your fault.
Having CFS or Fibromyalgia or any other chronic illness is not your fault.
You did not bring it on yourself.
You haven't done anything to deserve this.
This is not part of some plan by a malicious Universe to bring you down.
This is not because you didn't eat enough apples when you were five (or drink enough green juice in your thirties).
This is not because you said that horrible thing to someone, and now you're being punished.
This is not because you're a horrible person, and you need to be punished somehow.
This is not because you're deficient or worthless in some way.
Absolutely not.
Sometimes, things just happen.
Our brain wants to try and figure out this whole thing, so we know what we 'did wrong' and then the brain can make sure we never do that thing again. (Otherwise known as 'survival'.)
You can think yourself into the ground (and you probably will) trying to pin down the one thing you should've done back in the day, but if you could put your finger on it, would it help you?
Sometimes, there is no answer. It just is what it is.
What can rationalise and justify and 'self-help' all we want, but at the end of the day, it is what it is.
It's not your fault, my love.
Please let yourself off the hook once and for all.

Rafinha signs Barca contract
Rafinha Alcantara has signed a contract with Barcelona that will see him remain at the club until the end of the 2013/14 season.
By Francisco Acedo
Last Updated: 21/11/11 6:08pm
Teenage midfielder Rafinha Alcantara has signed a contract with Barcelona that will see him remain at the club until the end of the 2013/14 season.
The Spanish and European champions made the announcement on Monday and explained the terms of the deal with the 18-year-old, who will now leave the junior team for the Barcelona B side.
"Rafael Alcantara do Nascimento, 'Rafinha', signed a contract this morning that will keep him at the club until the 2013/14 season, with a buyout clause of €12million until the 2012/13 campaign rising to €30m the following year," reads a statement on Barcelona's official website.
Rafinha is the brother of Barcelona first-team regular Thiago and made his debut for Pep Guardiola's side in a 1-0 away victory over Hospitalet in the Copa del Rey on 9th November.
The highly-rated attacking midfielder is delighted to have extended his stay with the Catalan giants and has reflected on his appearance for the Blaugrana first team earlier this month.
"It's the kind of thing you can't really believe," he enthused. "It's been my dream since I came here when I was just 13 years old - it really was a dream come true."
