China Stocks Fall Most in 4 Years as CSI 300 Enters Bear Market
By Weiyi Lim - Jun 24, 2013 12:37 AM
Chinas stocks fell the most in four years, as the CSI 300 Index entered a bear market after the central bank signaled it will maintain efforts to curb speculative lending and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said a cash squeeze is hurting growth.
China Minsheng Banking Corp.(600016) and Ping An Bank Co. plunged 10 percent, while a gauge of financial companies tumbled 7.6 percent for the biggest loss among industry groups after the Peoples Bank of China said theres a reasonable amount of liquidity in the financial system and urged banks to control risks from credit expansion. China Vanke Co. led declines for developers with an 8.8 percent slump. Jiangxi Copper Co. slid the most since 2010 as Goldman Sachs and China International Capital Corp. cut their 2013 China economic growth forecasts.

Chinas Stocks Extend Three-Week Slump as Financial Shares Fall
The Shanghai Composite Index (SHCOMP) declined 5.3 percent to 1,963.24 at the close, the biggest loss since Aug. 31, 2009, while the CSI 300 dropped 6.3 percent to 2,171.21, sliding 22 percent from this years closing high of 2,775.84 on Feb. 6. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which entered a bear market earlier this month after falling 20 percent from a recent peak, lost 3.3 percent.
What the market is fearing is the government and the PBOC want to really continue with the reforms and a lot of the smaller companies, smaller banks may not survive, said Daphne Roth, Singapore-based head of Asia equity research at ABN Amro Private Bank, which oversees about $207 billion.What is good for the economy in the longer term may not be good for the market in the shorter term.
Banks Plunge
The nations equities have slumped after entering a bull market in February, with losses accelerating this month after preliminary manufacturing data showed a contraction and on concern surging money-market rates will deepen the slowdown. The Shanghai Composite has fallen 19 percent since Feb. 6.

A measure of financial stocks in the CSI 300 including banks and developers dropped 7.6 percent, the most among 10 industry groups, as the central bank signaled no relief for a cash squeeze that risks exacerbating an economic slowdown. Minsheng Banking slid 0.94 yuan percent to 8.51 yuan, while Ping An Bank dropped 1.13 yuan to 10.15 yuan.
At present, the overall liquidity in Chinas banking system is at a reasonable level, but due to many changing factors in the financial markets and also because of the mid-year point, the requirements for commercial banks in liquidity management have become higher, the Peoples Bank of China said in a statement dated June 17 and published on its website today in Beijing.
While money-market rates fell for a second day from all-time highs, the overnight repurchase rate of 6.47 percent was more than double this years average of 3.09 percent, according to a fixing compiled by the National Interbank Funding Center.
Goldman, CICC
Non-performing loans at small, mid-sized Chinese banks will probably rise as weaker borrowers find refinancing conditions more challenging, Moodys Investors Service said in a report.
Property stocks slid 7.4 percent, the most among five industry groups on the Shanghai Composite. China Vanke, the biggest developer, fell 8.8 percent to 9.03 yuan, while rival Poly Real Estate Group Co. plunged 10 percent to 9.53 yuan.

The credit crunch has worried investors, said Jack Gong, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Orient Finance Holdings (HK) Ltd.If the central bank really tightens credit, especially development loans, it will hurt those developers who recently actively acquired land.
Goldman Sachs cut its 2013 economic growth forecast to 7.4 percent from 7.8 percent, Li Cui, a senior economist at the bank, wrote in a note, citing the tighter financial conditions. CICC lowered its growth estimate to 7.4 percent from 7.7 percent.

The Nurburgring is a favourite testing ground for many manufacturers, and there's always a publicity fight between carmakers as to who has made the fastest sportscar or sedan lap around what they call, the "Green Hell" which is regarded as so dangerous that open-wheel racing hasn't taken place there for decades.
Setting a time of 7 minutes and 56.234 seconds, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Cupe Electric Drive is the first production electric vehicle to lap the famous track in under 8 minutes.
Mercedes says the record-taking car is identical to the series production version, which will launch later this month. The all-wheel-drive electric SLS is the most powerful AMG high-performance car, with four electric motors developing a total output of 552kW (750 horespower) and 1000Nm for all four wheels.
The car accelerates from 0 to 100kmh in 3.9 seconds and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 250kmh.
Unlike a petrol engine, the build- up of torque is instantaneous with electric motors - maximum torque is effectively available from standstill.
The spontaneous torque build- up and immense power delivery without any interruption in traction is combined with completely vibration-free motor running characteristics.
It's also very, very quiet as the video on YouTube of the lap shows.
The record time of the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive has been certified, two weeks after the first overall win for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 in the Nurburgring 24 Hours.

INDIA: PepsiCo, LT Foods in co-packing deal for Kurkure
By Michelle Russell | 16 August 2012
Dehli-based LT Foods is known for its Daawat Basmati rice brand
Global snacks giant PepsiCo has asked Indian firm LT Foods to co-pack its Kurkure rice snack brand for the local market.
The deal with Dehli-based LT Foods, known for its Daawat Basmati rice brand, will create "new avenues" for both companies, PepsiCo said.
"India foods business has been a growth driver for PepsiCo globally recording consistent high double-digit growth rates over the past few years," said Praveen Someshwar, CEO of PepsiCo Foods India. "Our flagship snack brands, Lay's and Kurkure are lovemarks and have now become Mega Brands with sales of more than Rs. 1000 crore each. To build on this opportunity in a growing market, we are looking at greater support from our business partners who have been playing a critical role in our business operations."
Someshwar said he believes an opportunity for direct and indirect employment will be created through the partnership in Haryana.
It is understood a new facility has been opened as part of the deal, under Daawat Foods, a majority-owned subsidiary of LT Foods. According to reports, the plant is located at Kamaspur, Haryana on the outskirts of Delhi.
PepsiCo would not comment further on details of the partnership agreement or on the opening of a facility.

Howard steps up his game in Lakers victory
LOS ANGELES – With Shaquille O'Neal's shadow literally cast over the court from his front-row seat at Staples Center, it was an opportunity for Dwight Howard to stand up and show greater stature as a Laker than he has so far.
Howard didn't have his prettiest game ever, but he put forth just the kind of effort for which his teammates and Lakers coaches have been hoping.
It was enough to get the Lakers a valuable 91-85 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night — helping make up for Kobe Bryant's four-point, eight-turnover output.
Howard tested the limits of his sore shoulder, creaky back and decreased confidence and wound up with 19 points, 18 rebounds and two blocks. Howard's defense was the key to everything for the Lakers.
He was huffing and puffing in the final minutes because he was going so hard on a consistent basis, including setting firmer screens and moving faster on pick-and-roll plays with Steve Nash — which Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said would continue to be tried because it logically should be "the staple of what we do."
Nash missed an open Howard once, but a minute later got it to him for a wide-open dunk and an 85-77 Lakers lead with 3:41 left.
Howard showed up without the headband he'd been wearing almost all season with the Lakers. (Howard wasn't allowed to wear one per Orlando Magic team policy.)
Metta World Peace (17 points) and Antawn Jamison (19) helped start the fourth quarter well while Howard rested, and the Lakers improved to 25-28.
O'Neal, meanwhile, had former rival Bryant laughing and yelling out to O'Neal by faux-kissing the guy next to him. O'Neal also left the court in the fourth quarter with actor Will Ferrell, dressed as a Staples Center security officer, pretending to have handcuffed him.

FBI charges man with child sex trafficking
A Clackamas County man charged with child sex trafficking appeared in court on Tuesday.
Dwayne Jamal Hubbard, 23, was indicted on charges of sex trafficking of a child, coercion and enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity on May 15 in federal court.
Hubbard faces a 10-year minimum sentence for each count, with a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Tigard Police and the FBI conducted the investigation and believe the sex trafficking took place between January and March.
'These arrests are the result of the excellent police work by the local law enforcement officers in Tigard who worked in conjunction with FBI agents,' said U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall. 'This teamwork is essential to protecting the children in this community from this dangerous trade.'
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Leah K. Bolstad.

1966- When the Coast Guard Station at Belle Isle, Michigan, received a report of a cabin cruiser afire at a boat dock, patrol boats were dispatched to the scene by radio. Within minutes, they were alongside the burning vessel, spraying water on the fire. The entire cabin cruiser was in flames, since its gas tanks had already blown up. The patrol boats, to minimize the damage to nearby facilities, towed the burning craft out of the marina. When notified that a woman was still on board, two Coast Guardsmen boarded the flaming cruiser and checked the cabin, only to find no one. As it turned out, the woman had already jumped overboard and made her way to shore safely. The fire was eventually brought under control, but not before the expenditure of many gallons of foam.

After a somewhat stormy debate in the Senate over his confirmation, former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) was sworn in Wednesday morning at the Pentagon and took over as secretary of defense.
Hagel took the oath of office in a private ceremony. His wife, Lilibet, held the Bible on which Hagel placed his hand. The oath was administered by Pentagon Director of Administration and Management Michael L. Rhodes.
The new Pentagon chief is due to address military and civilian personnel at 10:30 a.m. ET. We'll monitor his remarks and update with any news.
Hagel replaces Leon Panetta, who is among several cabinet members who decided to retire at the start of President Obama's second term.
Update at 11:20 a.m. ET. Hagel's Message:
"Newly minted Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is vowing to continue to build strong relations around world and engage with allies," The Associated Press reports. And it adds that "Hagel is telling the Pentagon workforce that he is committed to ensuring that the troops and department civilians are treated fairly and equally."

ORNL helps develop next-generation LEDs
Nanotechnology may unlock the secret for creating highly efficient next-generation LED lighting systems, and exploring its potential is the aim of several projects centered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Seen everywhere today, from traffic signals, taillights and cell phone displays to stadium JumboTrons, light-emitting diodes fluoresce as electrical current passes through them. The most developed LED technology is based on crystals, typically made from indium gallium nitride.

Joseph Perkins: Time may be right for immigration deal
There are 1 comment on the The Wave story from Jan 6, 2013, titled Joseph Perkins: Time may be right for immigration deal. In it, The Wave reports that:
Refugio Villalobos Perez headed north from Mexico in 1955 to take advantage of the Bracero Program, instituted by the U.S. government to supply America's farm patch with inexpensive, hardworking Mexican labor.

"It would create a path to U.S. citizenship for the nation's estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants. They would have to have a job, learn English, commit no crimes, and take their place at the back of the line for naturalization (a process that can take as many as 10 years), behind legal immigrants."
This is how our genius leaders see to fix a "broken" immigration problem?
First of all, what planet are they living on when they say, "They would have to have a job..." Americans want that as well!!! What about focusing on producing jobs for Americans" REAL jobs where you can work one and support yourself rather than three and barely make ends meet?!!!
They are doing this for OVER 11 million people!!! The whole point is to solve the problem, but the last amnesty of 2-3 million produced more!!!! Granting amnesty of any kind is like throwing gasoline on a fire, it only increases the flames!!!!

While the implications of climate change for biodiversity have been widely recognised, the insidious effect of invasive alien species (IAS) on global biodiversity stays under the radar. Last Friday was the United Nations' International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) and the International Convention on Biological Diversity sees IAS as "one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, and to the ecological and economic well-being of society and the planet". "Increasing globalisation has led to greater movement of new species around the world, and native species killed or stressed by global change will all too often be replaced by these weeds and feral animals," says CSIRO Biodiversity Research Director, Dr Mark Lonsdale.

Now here's a frightening thought! Brain chemicals such as endorphins, and drugs, such as marijuana and heroin are known to have significant effects on sperm and eggs, altering the patterns of genes that are active in them. In an article published in the latest issue of the journal Bioscience Hypotheses, Dr Alberto Halabe Bucay of Research Center Halabe and Darwich, Mexico, suggested that the hormones and chemicals resulting from happiness, depression and other mental states can affect our eggs and sperm, resulting in lasting changes in our children at the time of their conception. Bucay suggests that a wide range of chemicals that our brain generates when we are in different moods could affect 'germ cells' (eggs and sperm), the cells that ultimately produce the next generation. Such natural chemicals could affect the way that specific genes are expressed in the germ cells, and hence how a child develops.Read More
May 15, 2009 The Achilles tendon, which attaches the calf muscle to the heel, is the body's strongest tendon. The tendon may rupture on sudden tensing of the muscle, something that affects middle-aged men in particular, typically when playing badminton or tennis. The two ends of a ruptured Achilles tendon are often stitched together before the leg is put in plaster, in order to reduce the risk of the tendon rupturing again. However, a thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, now suggests that surgery may be unnecessary. Patients who do not undergo surgery have just as good a chance of recovery.Read More

Lion Music
Review: Craig Hartranft, 12.07.2009
It's the time for the final releases from Lion Music in 2009 and, as expected, one of those releases is an instrumental guitar project. This time around it's The Absolute from Serbian born guitar virtuoso Borislav Mitic; his first album since his 1999 self-titled work on Shrapnel Records. Mr. Mitic's believes The Absolute to be his best work to date with his goal being to deliver a technical shredding display over a heavy metal foundation. Mitic has succeeded on both points. Mitic's fret expertise is unquestionable on The Absolute. With rhythms, riffs, and exquisite fingerboard play, Mitic brings some stirring arrangements not the least of which include The Absolute, Hidden, The Prize of Eternity. As for the heavy metal foundation, there's nothing here that smacks of progressive or fusion or simple melodic hard rock, for that matter. It's all epic shredding guitar metal. Ultimately, however and what makes The Absolute one of the better shred guitar albums of 2009 is Mitic's deft blend of fret fire and lightning. Next to Joe Stump's most recent Virtuostic Vendetta, Borislav's The Absolute is in my top three of best traditional shred guitar albums of 2009. Dig it.

It seems like the same old story for the Frisco Wakeland girls soccer team.
Wakeland enters the 4A state playoffs a favorite to bring gold medals back to soccer-crazy Frisco, just as it did last season.
But Wakeland head coach Meagan Wilson sees this season much differently than the team's 2011 drive to the state championship.
"They're night and day different seasons," Wilson said. "It's kind of crazy if you compare the two different teams. They are 180 degrees different from each other. I'm very proud of this team for coming out and creating their own identity."
Wakeland rolls into the playoffs undefeated at 19-0-4, as opposed to last season's club that entered postseason play with two losses.
But Wison has a much younger team to manage this go-around, with a much larger number of freshmen contributing than last year's squad.
Wilson should have seven seniors returning from last year's state title team to ride through another playoff run, but three have been hurt for the majority of the season, including last year's championship game MVP Katey Carmichael. Carmichael was just released to play again right before the playoffs begin, which will add one of the area's top forwards back into the mix.
"We're getting her back right at the right time," Wilson said.
Wakeland will have one of the toughest roads back to the state tournament, coming out of a stacked area of Region II.
First on the docket is Little Elm at 5:30 p.m. on Friday at Frisco Lone Star. If Wakeland advances, they could face Richardson J.J. Pearce in the area round and then either McKinney North or Highland Park in the sectional round.
"It's going to be unbelievably hard this year," Wilson said. "To be honest, it's a shame because you have potentially four or five teams coming out of that one bracket that should probably be in the state tournament, and unfortunately we're all going to eliminate each other."
On the boys side, West Mesquite has hopes it can carry momentum from winning District 15-4A for the first time in school history into the playoffs for a run like they made in 2009.
"I'm hearing some really good things about this squad," Frisco Wakeland head coach Rusty Oglesby said. "This is West Mesquite's year to come out of that district."
However, it's the area round matchup -- West Mesquite's first game after a bye -- that has coach Alex Figert most concerned.
"I'm not overlooking either Rockwall or Molina," Figert said. "Both of them scare the dog out of me. I'm unhappy with our draw. I did not like our draw whatsoever, but it's playoff time and every team in the playoffs are going to scare you."
If West Mesquite can make it past that area round match between the winner of Rockwall and Dallas Molina, it could be on course to top the 2009 playoff trip that went three rounds, without fear of facing one of the Frisco schools or McKinney until the regional quarterfinal round.
The Frisco schools battled it out throughout district play, with only eight points separating the district champion, Frisco Heritage, from the fourth and final seed, Wakeland, and Oglesby said those in the soccer circles in Frisco expect one of the four Frisco teams to use the playoff-like experience they faced through district play to advance to the state tournament.
"We think that there's going to be a Frisco school, we hope, in that regional tournament," Oglesby said. "I think any of the four teams from our district can make it to that regional tournament if we take care of business in these first rounds."
Wakeland opens its postseason against district champion McKinney at 7:15 p.m. on Friday at Plano's Clark Stadium.

There's not a real ending. If there was one, we wouldn't have spoiled it, but the way Lost stops abruptly is profoundly disappointing.

When it comes to essential oils and home remedies, I'm a beginner. I need some step-by-step tutorials, recipes and safety information to help me feel good about moving forward.
Some of my friends are essential oils and home remedy experts, while others want to get serious and learn more advanced information.
Regardless of where you're at, I'm so excited to introduce you to something created just for us, to equip us with more confidence, skills and know-how as we use herbs and essential oils in our own home.
It's called the Herbs & Essential Oils Super Bundle.
What is the Herbs & Essential Oils Bundle?
It's a collection of 20 eCourses, eBooks and printables that bring together science-backed, time-honored remedies and information, in one comprehensive package, at a price that's too good to miss.
With these resources at our fingertips, we'll be able to:
- Separate fact from fiction as we choose quality herbs and essential oils.
- Confidently prepare salves, syrups, tinctures, and teas.
- Properly dilute oils for topical use.
- Learn blending principals for aromatic use.
- Incorporate essential oils into easy and effective herbal remedies.
- Know which herbs are safe for pregnancy, babies and children.
- Use printables to organize your essential oils for safety and ease of use.
- Create beauty products, herbal baths, and even gifts for friends and family.
How much does it cost?
You can get this entire herbs and essential oils library, worth over $400, for less than $30. That's 92% off what it would cost to buy everything individually!
(Not to mention, it's the price of one doctor or hospital copay, or filling a prescription or two.)
With the bundle, you'll also receive a special coupon for 50% off bulk herbs and essential oils! Redeemable at Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary, a full-service apothecary and clinic offering small batch hand-made herbal products to enhance your health and wellbeing.
Limited Time Availability
The bundle is available for just 6 days, from now until Monday, June 27th, 2016 at 11:59pm EST. That's why the Ultimate Bundles team can offer so much, because they only have permission to sell it for such a short period of time.

Barbre 1. Allen Barbre, Packers RT: You hate to pick on a first-time starter. And it's almost unfair that we judge Barbre after a highly visible debut against a pass-rushing specialist in a contract year. But Barbre is lucky to have kept his starting job after getting torched Sunday night by Chicago defensive end Adewale Ogunleye. Barbre looked too slow to handle a speed rush and didn't seem strong enough to fight off the bull rush. Bad combination, and the Packers are fortunate his outing didn't result in a significant injury to quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Cutler 2. Jay Cutler, Bears QB: In some ways, the Bears have seen this before. Cutler looked like so many Chicago quarterbacks that have come before him -- whose collective performances resulted in the need to acquire him from Denver in the first place. It's one thing to be aggressive and take chances. It's another to wildly force the ball into coverage. Four interceptions, and a few other near-misses, doomed Cutler in his debut at Lambeau Field. But think of it this way: He's got nowhere to go but up in Sunday's home opener at Soldier Field.
Smith 3. Kevin Smith, Lions RB: Detroit is counting on consistent production from its running game to serve as a crutch for rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford. Smith is the likeliest candidate to provide it, but he finished with 20 yards on 15 carries Sunday at New Orleans. The running game is a combination of backs and line play, so we can't solely blame Smith. But it's his name next to those numbers, and the Lions won't go far this season if their leading rusher is averaging 1.3 yards per carry.
Ogunleye Rising
1. Adewale Ogunleye, Bears DE: At the start of a contract year, Ogunleye reminded us how good he once was -- and perhaps can still be. He exploded for two sacks and unofficially hit Rodgers five other times Sunday night. Ogunleye has been one of the biggest supporters of new defensive line coach Rod Marinelli, and the coaching guru paved the way for him to have a breakout opening game.
Peterson 2. Adrian Peterson, Vikings RB: He managed 40 yards on his first 14 carries and 140 on his final nine Sunday at Cleveland. That's the kind of explosion you can expect from Peterson at any time during the NFL season. His energy in the third quarter sparked a 24-point surge to bring the Vikings back from a 13-10 halftime deficit. It's hard to be surprised with anything Peterson does, but his 64-yard touchdown run -- in which he broke five tackles -- might have been the best of his career.
Rodgers 3. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay QB: In the year of Air and Space in the NFC North, Rodgers had the best performance of a division quarterback. (Of course it's all relative, considering Brett Favre's quiet debut for Minnesota and a combined seven interceptions from Cutler and Stafford.) The Bears' pass rush seemed to get to him early on, and his accuracy suffered. But Rodgers produced a 158.3 passer rating in the fourth quarter, and when it counted most, drilled a perfect 50-yard pass to receiver Greg Jennings for the game-winning touchdown.

Can you get the epic trait for all types of arceus?
I know that most of you dont know much about the epic trait, but if anyone can tell me this i will be very grateful. i want to know this because i want a normal type epic arceus, but if i got a different type, i wouldnt want to throw it away, so is there any possibility of this?
Answer from: DIElga
An epic arceus of any type is awesome, and you shouldnt throw away an arceus, let alone an epic one. but anyway, try to get anither epic arceus, or ask someone you know who has at least two epics in the game. in my opinion you might get another epic arceus of a different type, although its still considered the same pokemon.
Answer from: supershadow775
Thanks, thats good enough for me. and i wasnt going to throw away an epic arceus, i said it would be a waste to throw it away.
Answer from: WXP XPX
Not possible to get another epic it would be epic if you could

Interestingly, a new twist on an alternative revenue generator has emerged: the democratized digital tip jar. Sites like Wikipedia have employed an online tip jar for years in the form of regular requests for donations from its users via PayPal, credit/debit cards, and other payment methods. But now a major player in the digital donations space-Flattr-is partnering with AdBlock Plus to offer Flattr Plus, a browser extension/app that enables users to remove online ads from sites they visit while also contributing a monthly payment in an amount they choose that will be distributed proportionally to publishers of the sites they surf.
