Asiana says Boeing 777 flight delayed in Bangkok due to engine problem
SEOUL, Sept 5

SEOUL, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Asiana Airlines grounded a Boeing 777 plane in Bangkok two days ago because of engine problems, a spokeswoman for the South Korean carrier said on Thursday.
"The 777 jetliner bound for Incheon, South Korea, had problems with an engine starter and went through maintenance before leaving the next day," spokeswoman Lee Hyo-min said. She gave no other details.
The plane was originally scheduled to leave an airport in the Thai capital just before midnight on Tuesday. It took off about 10 hours later, she said..
One of Asiana's Boeing 777 planes crash-landed at San Francisco's airport in July, killing three and injuring more than 180. The cause of the accident is being investigated by U.S. and Korean aviation authorities.

Congratulations to the Walker family! This is a very difficult change to make. A family must be dedicated, courageous, willing to change everything (and everyone from their "old habits and haunts"), survive relapse, and know they and their child(ren) deserve better in life to succeed in Parent Drug Court. There are GREAT people in social services and good programs to help people who want to change. Judge Niemeier is a dedicated public servant. Toy Widmer is a champion of people and a Saint. CASA is there for the kids, always. The state of Indiana and a family-friendly, child-first Governor would help Evansville's families in crisis by increasing the funding to the County to oversee/staff up the Parent Drug Court. Cutting funding, spending money on jail housing instead of drug courts (Judge Trockman's is successful) and lengthy wardships for removed children, ultimately affects us all. It takes a village, Evansville. Our future depends on the health and well-being of the children in our "village" (and State and country) for they will be our next President, Nobel Prize winner, scientist, teacher, drug addict, child abuser or dysfunctional parent that keeps the cycle going. To the Grandmother who took care of the girls while the parents got their priorities in order, YOU are a necessary and valuable part of our village. Thank you!

City of Sydney Cultural & Creative Sector Forum Report by Louise Anderson
Big Fag Press Associate Partner Louise Kate Anderson writes:
I just thought I'd do a quick post on this. Last Wednesday I attended the City of Sydney's Cultural and Creative Sector Forum representing the Big Fag Press. I thought it was a really interesting couple of hours, and I was inspired to know how invested the council is in listening to the thoughts and ideas of people who work in creative fields, in order to see how best to help them be able to use the city as a canvas for their creative endeavours.
Furthermore, it couldn't have been a better place for networking – my table had a guy who works for the City of Sydney outdoor event management, a woman from ArtsHub, a woman from the Red Room Company, a guy who works in the youth music industry, one of the founders of the College of Event Management, and a woman from Waverley Council.
At the beginning I wasn't really sure I would have anything to contribute, but the discussion led to many things I had ideas about. Our table came up with a few collective agreements. One was that Sydney is very much a lively place in terms of art and culture. "Top down" events like Vivid Sydney, the Biennale, Chinese New Year and the NYE fireworks are very successful. We also agreed on the fact that the government does a lot to support smaller initiatives, but that maybe these efforts could be slightly better directed.
In terms of "grassroots" initiatives, there was much talk on making it more accessible to individual young artists or smaller collectives wanting to just get out there and express creativity. I spoke of how, last year with my Ivory Tower posters, there was just no place to go out and put them. The dedicated City of Sydney poles for posters just get covered by advertising, and anywhere else they got ripped down. It would be so great if there was just spaces around for spontaneous public art. Places where you don't need to be a verified "emerging creative" to use. The Guerilla Photography project on Elizabeth St by Fairfax photographers was something that was brought up – but nobody really knows if doing something like that is okay. Is it considered defacing public property? If Clover Moore hadn't particularly liked those photographs installed in that place, would they have received fines for doing it?
Another thing I brought up was along the same lines – to me, at least when I'm walking around the streets instagramming things, it's the oddities, the interesting graffiti, the chic little cafes, and the funny coloured walls that get my attention. I like things that are different, and provide an alternate to a cookie cutter town of gloria jeans, lowes and perfectly arranged front gardens. A point was brought up about spaces being unused at certain times – there are many places that, for example, are in use Monday to Friday 9-5pm, but completely useless at other times. So here is where my idea comes through – why can't artists be the ones to decorate the city – to make the boring interesting. Why can't we designate it a business carpark by day and a pop-up art gallery by night? Why does a wall have to be a brick wall – getting a company building wall graffitied by local artists could attract valid attention to your business.
And thus brings up another point. About legal, OH&S, and regulatory council hoops to jump through. I remember when I was doing my Open House project in Foley St in 2010, we had a lot of forms to fill out and information to gather, like making sure people had their RSA's and everything. I know it's a lot to do with people's safety, which definitely should be put above all else. But getting through all that bureaucracy is a major hurdle for an artist or a small collective wanting to set up a guerilla pop-up gallery.
Much of our other discussion was about live music venues and making sure under drinking age teenagers also have access to entertainment, which I think is equally important.
Many of the other tables came up with similar points about reducing the "red tape" for artists and giving more opportunities to "grassroots" programs. Overall I found the forum had a very positive outcome, especially if some of these ideas are taken on by the City of Sydney. They could even have a direct impact on ARI's like the Big Fag Press, like Runway, like Firstdraft. Very exciting!

Big Fag Press Emerging Artists Residency – Laura's Studio Notes
I should begin by confessing that I am a novice printmaker, my only firsthand experience being crude linocuts and one attempt at etching back in high school. In many ways my current practice could be seen as the antithesis to printmaking, using video, performance and installation to avoid a finished work. Yet there is something in the methodology of printing that resonates with me; perhaps it is the re-mediation of an image into multiples or the construction of a work through layers.
working sketch
A print can imply the history of its own making if you know how to read it; colour variation though halftone, spatial depth by overlap, movement by misaligned registration. In most cases a correct image does all these things and erases evidence of itself in the final product. This may sound fairly obvious to someone fluent in design and picture making but to me it is a perplexing sequential process for which I'm missing the instructions. Which perhaps suggests why I am drawn to disciplined compositional work like Joseph Albers' Homage to the Square series.

Residency Programme Launch BBQ
Join us at Big Fag Press for a BBQ on Sat February 2nd – to celebrate the conclusion of our Emerging Artists Residency Programme.
Artists Laura Hindmarsh (Tas) and Pat Grant (NSW) will be on hand showing what they've made in the Big Fag workshop over the last few weeks.
Pat and Laura have set up shop in the very sexy (and triangular!) First Draft Depot Project Space, and will be installing their work for a special "one-afternoon-only" public event.
If you're a friend of the Big Fag, come down and join us for a shandy and a BBQ. (STOP PRESS! – the BBQ will now also include vegie sausages!).
If you've never been to the Big Fag Press, now's a great time to come along and see what we're all about.
We'll have the machine rolling so you can smell the ink and dream about one day making your own print with us!

Big Fag Press Emerging Artists Residency Programme
Announcing our first project for 2013:
the Big Fag Press Emerging Artists Residency Programme.
For three weeks in January 2013, Big Fag Press will host two emerging artists in its Woolloomooloo workshops. In fact, they both showed up this morning all starry eyed and excited about starting a new project from scratch!
Who are they? Laura Hindmarsh (from Hobart) and Pat Grant (from Wollongong).
Laura is known for her video and performance work; Pat is an accomplished comic book maker. Both are committed to interdisciplinary practice, collaboration and experimentation, which makes them ideal for our residency programme.
The idea is to provide an opportunity to artists who would not normally be able to afford such a luxurious period of time playing around on our machine. It also means that we at the Big Fag extend ourselves, trying out ways of working that are outside of our normal methods.
In Sydney, Pat and Laura be accommodated by Artspace's residential studios in Woolloomooloo (10 minutes walk from Big Fag Press). Artspace has been a terrific supporter of Big Fag, ever since we moved to Woolloomooloo a few years ago.
Pat and Laura will work intensively with Big Fag Press personnel. The advantage of having two simultaneous artists in residence is that their projects can cross-pollinate as they evolve. They may, if they choose, even collaborate with each other!
At the end of the residency period, we'll host an informal launch at the First Draft Depot, so you can see what Laura and Pat have come up with. (The launch will probably take place on the afternoon of February 3rd – we'll update here shortly). Many thanks to First Draft Gallery for supporting this whole programme!
Meantime – if you'd like to pop down between now and the beginning of February, please get in touch – we'll put on the kettle for ya!

The Big Fag Press Emerging Artist Residency Programme is supported by the Australia Council for the Arts' grant for Artist Run Initiatives.

While the work is VERY worthwhile, someone should do the math on the per $$ amount for each search team…this enterprise has way too much money for their true needs. Between too much staff, too many offices and waste all over the place it is shameful.
Search dog group uncovers surprise $1.5 million donation
July 23, 2013
Misty Volaski, email@example.com
The Ojai-based National Disaster Search Dog Foundation got a big boost in its fundraising efforts this month with a $1.5-million donation from the Wendy P. McCaw Foundation.
"It was a bit of a surprise," said NDSDF founder Wilma Melville."They have funded us before, but we didn't specifically go to them this time (to ask for funding). So that's why this was such a nice surprise."
The donation bumped NDSDF's current fundraising total to more than $15.6 million — a big step closer to its goal of $18.5 million. The funds are being used to construct a massive, one-of-a-kind training facility — a place, according to a recent NDSDF press release, "where rescued dogs are trained to become rescuers, and where America's search teams will get the advanced training they need for the most challenging disaster deployments."
With the latest funds, the foundation will be able to complete construction on several buildings and areas within its 127-acre property in Santa Paula's Wheeler Canyon: the Disaster Training Zone, Disaster Dome, Handlers Lodge, Welcome Center, infrastructure and roads.
Melville is specially excited about the Disaster Dome. "It's one of our most important buildings," she said. It will be an environmentally-controlled building and look a lot like a Hollywood movie set, complete with moveable props that can be set up in countless configurations so dogs in training will always have a new challenge.
But the best part of the dome, Melville said, is that it can be completely blacked out, and the weather controlled, so that teams can simulate climates and times of day. "We can have the 'moon' go into any phase we want," she said, "and we can set the temperature, have a breeze, change the humidity. We can make it rain and we can make snow flurries. And we can set the props however we want too."
Being able to simulate so many different search environments will allow the dogs — and just as importantly, the handlers — will be ready for any type of deployment. Even in the middle of the summertime in Southern California, teams will be able to experience searching for survivors in, for example, the cold darkness of Japan at night after an earthquake. They can also simulate the high humidity and heat of Haiti, or the very wet situations following a hurricane or mudslide.
Past and current search teams have trained wherever they could — construction sites, rubble piles, dumps, firefighter training facilities and even Universal Studios. "But there are few places we can hide survivors (for the dogs to search out)," Melville said. "And we can only bury them a few inches down. That's just not good enough; that's not reality. At this place, we can have them at 15 feet deep … that is reality."
NDSDF will breaking ground this summer on the Canine Pavilion, which will have kennels for up to 40 dogs, as well as classrooms for handler training and ongoing education, staff offices, lodging for dog caregivers, and a veterinary area. The on-site kennels will allow for lots more training time, said Melville. "Right now, the dogs are boarded in a private kennel in Santa Paula," she said. But even though it's only about 10 minutes away from the training center, it still shaves of about an hour of every day. The training center kennels will also mean "less stress on them without the daily trips, and there will be fewer dogs around them in the kennels."
Two other training areas have recently been completed on the property, and are already being used by handlers and search dogs in training. The Wendy P. McCaw Foundation Training Grounds, an 11,200 square-foot area that is shaded so that teams can train all day long in comfort, and the Newman's Own Foundation Search Team Showgrounds feature 15,300 square feet of room for team demonstrations.
The training center, which Melville says is laid out like a campus and "Is like a little city," is slated for completion in fall 2014, although that depends on funds raised.
"These disasters, they don't go away," Melville said. "Natural disasters and accidents are always going to happen."
NDSDF teams have trained 144 canine-firefighter search teams and responded to 96 disasters, including the Oklahoma City Bombing, World Trade Center attack, Hurricane Katrina, La Conchita mudslides, L.A. train derailments, the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan, and most recently the tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma.
Melville said, "In light of our June deployment to the deadly Moore, Okla. tornado, we are humbled and honored by the support of so many donors who believe in our mission of service to our local community, and communities throughout the nation. (We) can now forge ahead to complete the construction phase of the National Training Center and bring new disaster preparedness resources to the country."

When is it the right time to sell your home and buy another one so you can make the most money?
Many people are asking this. Well, let's go over some numbers. Say you have a $200,000 home to sell right now in the Salt Lake Valley. We would have to go over statistics for your specific home and neighborhood but for an example we will just go with a safe number. Right now the odds of selling your home in your neighborhood is 25%. What about the odds of selling a home in a neighborhood where there are $400,000 homes? The odds will drop to about 2%. As you can see there is more demand in the neighborhood currently where you are selling and less demand in the area that you want to buy. This means two things. You are selling high....and buying low.
SHOULD I WAIT? What are the costs of waiting?
Lets look at the cost of waiting. Yes, last year you probably could have made more money selling your home. Are you fixated on that number from last year? It could cost you more money if you wait to achieve that number. So you can sell your home now for 200k...but last year you say you could have received 225k? So you want to wait till you can get 225k? Lets look at that. Going from 200k to 225k is a 12.5% appreciation level. The home you want to buy now is 300k? The difference in price right now is 100k. Let's see what the difference would be if your home went up to 225k. Lets timex 300k by the 12.5% appreciation level and we get: $337,500. Now the difference is $112,500 instead of $100,000. You just lost $12,500 by waiting for a good market to buy a home.
If its a softer market and you are under or close to the median price range, the bets are you will be able to score on selling your home and moving up. Recently I just saw homes that were selling for 900k 2 years ago sell for $620k today. Waiting for your home to appreciate $100,000 cant make the type of money that you could make if you are willing to sell your home for what you can get and find a great deal. There's always an opportunity to make money....if you know how to find it.

Mood of the Market
Mood of the Market
Tara-Nicholle Nelson
Inman News
To quote the Scripture -- and The Byrds: "for everything there is a season." And it seems that we might now be living in the season of the glitch, especially when it comes to the world of real estate and mortgage.
Last week, the Obama administration released some numbers reflecting the outcomes for homeowners who have sought loan modifications under the Making Home Affordable set of programs.
According to the Treasury Department, about 340,000 homeowners have been granted loan modifications under the program and are paying their modified mortgage payments on time. Sounds great, huh?
Well, yes, until you hear that 155,000 borrowers dropped out of the program -- just in the last month! That makes a cumulative total of 436,000 borrowers who have dropped out of the program since its inception in March 2009.
Long story short -- that means more people have left the program than those who have managed to receive permanent, successful modifications under it.
The banks often argue that the problem is missing income documentation, etc., but anyone who has ever attempted to submit one of these applications for themselves or for a client knows that many, many times, complete packages are submitted and resubmitted ad nauseum because the bank claims never to have received such and such piece of paper.
There is virtually no system of accountability set up under which a borrower can document what was submitted, and often the buck stops with no one -- there's no one person or there is an endlessly changing lineup of people on the bank's end who are responsible for a given file.
Other borrowers say they did actually make on-time payments under their initial trial modifications, and the bank lost the payment!
But this is just the beginning of the big-time glitches that are throwing massive monkey wrenches into Americans' best efforts to manage their weightiest financial and physical asset these days.
Last week, the National Association of Realtors also had a data release, announcing that despite the tax-credit driven influx of buyers into the market in April, closed deals were actually down 2.2 percent in May, compared to April! What's to blame? Glitches, of course.
Super-long short sales, clunky REO (bank-owned property) sales with hard-to-corral asset managers (who must sign on the dotted line for the deal to close) and even "regular" deals with glitchful appraisals are stretching the escrow period out from the traditional 30 days to 45, 60 or sometimes many more moons.
These lender-side glitches are having such a massive impact that, even though Congress provided for a 60-day transaction length between the April 30 contract deadline for the tax credit and the June 30 closing deadline, according to NAR, 180,000 transactions that met the contract deadline will fail to close in time to qualify for the credit.
There has been a congressional effort to extend the closing deadline, though the outcome is uncertain.
But wait -- there's more! Rumor has it that many a transaction to buy a home along the Gulf Coast has fallen out of escrow due to the oil spill.
On top of that, the National Flood Insurance Program is about $19 billion in debt -- largely from the effects of having to repeatedly rebuild homes destroyed or damaged by floods in a short period of time.
About 1 percent of properties insured by the program account for 38 percent of all claims! (Not surprisingly, these properties are also concentrated along the Gulf Coast, in areas hit by the double-whammy of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.)

Common misuses: common expressions
As Such
One of these misused expressions is "as such". This phrase is seldom used correctly these days, and its incorrect use often renders the sentence laughable. Some people misuse the phrase completely because they have mistaken its meaning, thinking it means "therefore", which is just plain silly.
In order to make sense, "as such", a pronominal phrase, must refer back to a noun in the previous sentence or clause. It cannot be used to refer to a verb.
Consider this: "I've worked in the hospitality industry for some years now. As such, I've learnt a lot about cleaning equipment." The speaker obviously intends "as such" to refer to "worked" which is the verb in the previous sentence, but grammatically, "as such" can only refer to a noun. You could say, however, "I've been a hotel room attendant for some years now. As such...etc".
Partake of/partake in/take part
Another word whose misuse is becoming widespread is "partake". It really means "to take a share" and has traditionally been used to refer to the sharing of food, as in "We partook of a delicious seafood banquet last night". However, it has long been used in a figurative sense, as in "partaking in each other's joys", which carries the implication of sharing. The difference between the two usages lies in the accompanying pronoun, in or of. If we partake of, we each take a share of something – I eat my share of the food, you eat yours. If we partake in, we share mutually – your joys are also mine, my joys are also yours. Can you see the subtle difference between the two?
But the main problem is that some people are now using "partake" where they should use "take part", as in "We partook in a football match yesterday", which to my mind ruins a nice, rather subtle little expression. However, language is constantly changing and I don't think I can do anything to stop this particular change!
Two more misuses can only be seen in writing, as both ways of using them sound the same in speech. I'm talking about "all together" vs "altogether" and "on to" vs "onto". Let's look at the second phrase first.
Onto/on to
The word "onto" is quite new. It used to be considered altogether incorrect when I was a child. However, it is now considered quite OK to say "I put the plate onto the shelf", and there's nothing wrong with that. Where the word gets misused is in sentences such as "He went onto say how pleased he was with the new house" or even "The plane flew onto London"! In cases such as these, where something is definitely not being superimposed on something else, we should leave the two words separate.
Altogether/all together
I hope I haven't got you altogether confused because I'll now go on to "all together". When we do something as a group we do it all together, as in "We left the party all together".
The word "altogether" is another matter altogether.
If you were to write the sample sentence as "We left the party altogether" it would mean that you left the party absolutely, utterly and completely, never to return. You might apply that to a political party, but not the social gathering sort of party, which you might have left early because you were tired, not because you were in high dudgeon over something, although I suppose that's also possible!
I plan to do a few more of these posts, so if you have any words or phrases that you're not sure how to use, let me know and I'll try to incorporate them.

Dunno about your part of the world Satima, but on this side of the puddle there are many misuses of words and or phrases. One of my bêtes noirs is could've or should've which is frequently interpreted and often written as 'could of, should of' people having no idea it is a shortened form of could have or should have. When I see it in a book it really tees me off.

Yup, they happen here, too. Another odd one is "I got then off of my mother" and others of like ilk.
We now have a generation of people teaching English who have never learnt grammar. Not good. - Sunday, April 10, 2011

Oh yes, off of is used here too. One song which used to be a favourite is frequently sung "can't take my eyes off of you" grrrr. There are lots more which I can't call to mind right now. Oh I know, it likely will happen is another phrase. Of course like is a very over used word here, kids can't speak a sentence without using like half a dozen times. We asked a friend's daughter to try saying things without the word for a while, she was no longer able to converse.

Just remembered another thing which drives me up the wall, a picture is hung a person is hanged. If you mention transitive and intransitive verbs to people, you would just get blank stares. My mother used to go nuts about salty, its not salty its salt. That soup was very salt. Of course as Winston said "up with which I shall not put".
- Monday, April 11, 2011

I love that song, too, apart from the "off of"!
Of course, language changes and we have to live with it. These days,if we used "salt" as an adjective (apart from the common phrase "salt water") people would think we were ignorant or daft or both. And ending sentences with prepositions is no longer considered wicked, so Mr Churchill would not have to twist his words today.
I'm planning on putting up a post on transitive and intransitive verbs one of these days! - Monday, April 11, 2011

What really irritates me is misuse of the word "reform" in the newspapers. When I was growing up, it meant "to make it better" - a law against sending kids down into the mines or one wiping out slavery is a reform. Closing down schools is not an education reform. Even more irritating is reading, as I have, about "draconian reforms". You'd think journalists would know better.
For the record, I teach grammar and spelling. So does every other teacher I know. But what can you do when a student has grown up on text messages and, before that, chat rooms, where it's perfectly legitimate to spell "and" & (I got a story in slush recently that did this) and "Thanks" "thanx" or even "thx" because it costs extra to use too many characters? They forget. They don't mean it, but they forget and hand in work with spelling taken from their mobile phones. - Tuesday, April 12, 2011
- Satima Flavell said...
You must be really up against it, Sue. It's good that the system is including grammar in the curriculum again, but a whole generation of teachers went through school without learning any, so how can they teach it properly? I daresay there are some new teachers who also feel it's OK to use l33t and txt spelling because they've grown up with them, too.
Misused words:-( I guess we have to live with them and accept that this is the way words change in meaning. One that bugs me is the use of "convince" when the correct word would be "persuade". The difference between them is another of those subtleties that the language seems to be losing. - Tuesday, April 12, 2011

I need to apologize here. I haven't posted about this for quite sometime. It's probably because I've been putting Mirripple on the backburner and crazy me has been CO projects for other last minute, birthday gifts. I don't know why I do that to myself.
So unfortunately, this is the only progression I have on this baby blanket for my niece who is already 9 months:
I Jane Richmond Magic Knotted more Sienna (brown) to the last end and finished DC the first and second rows. Then I dug out whatever Seafoam I had left. When I had ordered more yarn, Knit Picks was out of stock of Seafoam in Comfy Worsted! I messaged them just now to inquire.
Andi's KAL/CAL for this theme of Getitdone2013 will be ending by the 30th. Obviously I'm way behind. I think I will continue to post about this blanket under this meme until its done. I had one more baby project I had planned to knit under this but will maybe switch back to WIP Wednesday/FO Friday for it.
Before I sign off here, I wanted to flash part of my outfit yesterday:
Can any of you guess why? ^^
These two Pins here and here are my inspiration to do more of this.
Okie; fightin' a bit of a bug here. Have a night here and there where I can't fall back to zzz and Princess Jellybean still having a bug, not to mention a skeeter/moxie used my face as hors d' oeuvres early this morn, isn't helping me much of late. Made some chicken noodle and will relax as we have a big outing this weekend. TTYL.

DailyDirt: Space Shuttle Discovery For Sale, $28.8M OBO, Shipping Included
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Discovery's final mission was extended a bit, giving it a total time of 365 days in space. During that non-continuous year in space, Discovery traveled about 148 million miles -- more than the distance between the Earth and the Sun (but done in a relatively tight circle). [url]
- The final resting place for Discovery will be announced on April 12th -- the 30th anniversary of the first shuttle flight. There are over 20 museums that have applied to get one of the last three shuttles after they've been decommissioned. [url]
- The manager of the space station national laboratory makes an analogy that the end of the shuttle program for ISS means that they'll be using "pickup trucks" instead of an 18-wheeler to send equipment to the ISS. Ford or Chevy? [url]
- A pretty big pickup truck, aka an unmanned Delta 4-Heavy rocket, launched from California in January, setting a record for the largest rocket to blast off from the West Coast. It took off from a launch pad that was originally designed for the space shuttles, but no shuttles ever launched from California. [url]

India asks rich nations to give heads up on monetary policy exit
By Arun Kumar, Washington, Oct 12 : A day after the Group of 20 pressed the US to avoid a potentially devastating default, India Saturday asked advanced economies to give a heads up when the time comes for an exit from unconventional monetary policies.
Noting that "global recovery is as yet fragile," Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said, "It needs to be ensured that it is nurtured and put on a sustainable path through appropriate policy actions, both in advanced and emerging market economies."
"Dialogue, cooperation and effective communication, on a multilateral basis, would be important in ensuring this," he told world's financial leaders gathered here for the International Monetary Fund World Bank annual meetings.
"Although the improving economic activity in the US is a good sign," Chidambaram said, "a smooth exit from the unconventional monetary policies poses a major challenge for the policymakers in advanced and emerging economies".
"Given the risks involved in the exit from the unconventional monetary policies, there is a need to communicate clearly to market participants the parameters that will guide the exit," he said.
"Emerging market economies also need to strengthen their domestic fundamentals and be prepared with appropriate policy responses in different scenarios, to meet the challenge arising out of exit from the unconventional monetary policies in advanced economies," he said.
India's warning came amid report that the negotiations between President Barack Obama and Republicans to raise the US debt limit had broke down - just days before the nation reaches its borrowing limit Oct 17 - with the White House rejecting Republican's latest offer.

Last night I saw the movie the Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It was the perfect movie for the end of one year and the beginning of the next—personal growth was a major theme, finding oneself, taking risks. And it was just a little bit cheesy, which is so the new year. (What's up with that, 2014?) I've been thinking a lot about my goals and resolutions for next year—which I'll share in the next couple of weeks—and I felt like I was deciding and refining what I wanted to accomplish and who I wanted to be while watching this movie. Then I cried for the first time in a while when it was over, and I felt really great.

I saw American Hustle last night. It was fantastic, of course, and as always, Jennifer Lawrence totally stole the show. I can't get over what a perfect actress/human she is.

My dad is about the coolest guy in the world. We're a lot alike, awkward, self-deprecating, and a little neurotic. Despite not having a Facebook or a smart phone, my dad also stays very up on pop culture. During Thanksgiving dinner, he mentioned that he was having some shoulder pain and so he decided to X-ray himself. He is a doctor, but isn't a radiologist. Our ensuing conversation:
Me: Did you take the X-ray yourself, or was there a technician?
Dad: There was a tech. I didn't take, like, an X-ray selfie.

I'm thankful for adventure and comfort, cows and road trips—feet up on the dash, with a Mexican Coca Cola—and A-frame cabins. Quiet nights. I'm thankful for vintage dresses and cozy scarves and thrift store finds. I'm thankful for words and love and those big moments where everything feels so overwhelmingly perfect, and the quieter moments in between. Khloe Kardashian. Macklemore. The library. I don't know. Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

I treated myself to dinner at a new vegan Indian restaurant (!!!) tonight. I've been feeling a little moony and sad the last few days, so I figured a special dinner would be just the thing. And it was. I ordered a dosa plate and drank cucumber water and read my book (Rainbow Rowell's Attachments, this week).
I felt pretty happy, sitting there. I looked around the small restaurant, decorated with a tasteful printed wallpaper and vintage Bollywood posters. People smiled at me. A girl Instagrammed a picture of her beet juice-tequila cocktail and then apologized to the room when the flash went off. ("I didn't know the flash was on. Oh my god. I'm deleting it.") It was Portland-perfect.
When I dine alone, I try to avoid tables too close to others, but tonight I settled in at a cozy table right next to a couple. He had a generous, bushy 'stache and an oversized beanie. She wore a topknot and a military-inspired anorak, a nervous grin. I tried to focus on my book, but this conversation was rich. They were hunting for an apartment, no easy feat in the landlords' heaven that is PDX. He was living in a house with several housemates. My rent for this month is, like, $192, he bragged. But the housemates were trying to get out of their lease. She had a "super sweet" studio. They wanted to find a family-friendly, but still hip (of course!) 'hood, since they're expecting.
I like the posters they have up, he said, of like, old Westerns. I managed not to laugh, but just barely.
I'll admit I was a little jealous of them—the owner of the restaurant, a friend, apparently, came to sit with them, and I tried not to stare. How is everything? he asked. Do they want anymore food? I wondered if I should ask for an order of pakoras. A tattooed waitress shuffled over to ask the owner if he wanted any food. (Customers order at the bar.)
The couple explained their rental dilemma to their friend. I'm supposed to sign the lease on this one place tomorrow night, the mom-to-be said. We are, she corrected herself. I wondered when she realized that what were her decisions were now theirs. But we really like this little house in northeast, she went on, so we want to see it first. They couldn't decide if they should risk losing the first apartment. I guess it's not the safest choice, he said. But we're not really doing things the easy way anymore, since we found out about the baby.
Me, a dosa, and two hipster parents-to-be. Ain't life grand?

Rep. Joe Barton (R.-Texas), recently elected chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, will address attendees of the American Cable Association Washington Summit at a Capitol Hill luncheon on May 18.
There is plenty of room for growth in the cable-modem business as Mid-Hudson Cable and ESPN found out during a summer promotion built around ESPN's X Games.
The two companies teamed up for a marketing campaign during which Mid-Hudson more than doubled its run rate for cable-modem subscriptions. The MSO added 223 subscribers during the five-week campaign, a 133% jump compared to normal.
Overall, the campaign gave Mid-Hudson a 7% lift in overall high-speed subscribers.
In a struggling market for interactive-television applications, one company is spearheading an effort to create a standard that literally gets the message across to ITV subscribers.
But will the effort deliver a standards message to the industry, or will it prove to be simply a marketing maneuver?
On the eve of its annual fundraising dinner, The Walter Kaitz Foundation is planning a fundamental shift away from it's current role as the cable industry's top minority job recruiter.
Instead, the foundation will fund organizations that assist minorities in their professional development and help minority-owned vendors find cable customers ŌĆö placing the onus of attracting new, qualified minority executives on MSOs and programmers, Kaitz president Art Torres said last week.
Cable veteran Kevin Kidd has returned to the industry as president of Time Warner Cable's San Antonio, Texas division.
In his new job, Kidd will oversee management of the 53 communities in the San Antionio cluster, which together serve approximately 332,000 subscribers.
Kidd was most recently with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon, Inc., where served as president and CEO.
MCI WorldCom, Compaq Computer Corp. and Dell Computer Corp. have launched major initiatives on the digital-subscriber-line (DSL) front that add both momentum and confusion to the rapidly evolving scenario.
Most dramatically, MCI WorldCom said its UUNet Internet-service subsidiary will be rolling out DSL-services nationally, starting with 400 switching locations by year-end, adding 200 more by March and expanding to more than 1,000 by the end of 1999.
Showtime Networks Inc., Starz Encore Group LLC and Playboy TV Networks confirmed last week that they will not be on the floor of this year's Western Show.
Dropping the booths is a bid to cut costs by the three programmers, who will participate in this year's annual event in Los Angeles but won't have their usual presence among the exhibitors.
News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch is sending a clear message to Washington regulators: Block the merger between EchoStar Communications Corp. and Hughes Electronics Corp., parent of DirecTV Inc.
Murdoch, who failed in his own bid to acquire Hughes, is apparently going all-out inside the Beltway to ensure that arch-rival Charlie Ergen, EchoStar's chairman and CEO, is denied his dream of becoming king of the direct-broadcast satellite industry.
Scientific-Atlanta Inc. extended its winning record in its legal tiff with Gemstar-TV Guide International Inc. over interactive-programming-guide patents, this time gaining another summary-judgment victory from the U.S. District Court for GeorgiaŌĆÖs Northern District.
The court granted S-AŌĆÖs motion for a summary judgment Friday, agreeing that the cable-gear makerŌĆÖs set-top-box design does not infringe on GemstarŌĆÖs patent No. 4,751,578 covering aspects of IPG technology.
