Global ratings agency Moody's today cautioned that there could be downward pressure on India's sovereign rating if growth weakens further and high inflation persists.
The ratings agency expects a "slow" recovery in India's economic growth in the second half of 2014 provided the global economy recovers and while domestic inflation and interest rate decline.
"Downward pressure on the rating could develop if the medium-term growth and fiscal outlook weakens further or there is a material decline in foreign exchange reserve coverage of external debt and imports," Moody's Investors Service said in a report.
Also a persistent high inflation affecting growth and government finances could have a downward pressure on the country's rating.
On the other hand, it said, upward pressure on the rating would develop if fiscal metrics and competitiveness indicators improved to levels comparable to its peers.
Moody's has assigned a Baa3 rating (investment grade) to India with a stable outlook.
"The outcome of national elections next year could affect growth, depending on how it impacts sentiment and policies," it added.
The economic growth in the first half of the fiscal stood at 4.6 per cent. The government expects economy to recover in the second half and achieve a growth rate of 5 per cent for the entire fiscal.
Inflation remains a cause of concern as food prices continue to rule high. The retail inflation swelled to 10.09 per cent, while WPI was 7 per cent in October.
India's Baa3 government bond rating, it said, reflects the sovereign credit support derived from a large and diverse economy, high domestic savings, and adequate foreign exchange reserves as well as the challenges posed by large fiscal deficits, recurrent inflation and weak infrastructure.
"The rating agency's report serves as an update to the markets and is not a rating action," it added.
"Moreover, India's investment climate and competitiveness indicators are weaker than those of similarly rated countries," it said while adding there have been policy efforts to induce investment in the last year, their impact may not be evident in the near term.

Seth MacFarlane is Oscars Host!
Written by Katie Marzullo
Hot! Hot! Hot off the press!
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences – AKA the peeps who hand out the Academy Awards – have just officially announced who will be emceeing the 85th Oscars telecast, and the decision might surprise you…
Seth MacFarlane, known more for his television career than films (unless you count Ted, which I'm not so sure the Academy would), has been selected as next year's host. Spaketh telecast producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron: "We are thrilled to have Seth MacFarlane host the Oscars. His performing skills blend perfectly with our ideas for making the show entertaining and fresh."
No doubt they had MacFarlane's recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live" on their minds when making this decision. He certainly has a way with voices and showtunes and whatnot, and he could definitely thrive on a massive platform like the Oscars. There is no doubt that he is a showman.
My only concern here is, he isn't exactly, shall we say, all that politically correct. Anyone who has watched his TV shows knows that he doesn't mind pushing buttons or offending people. Tasteless jabs and taboo subjects are never off-limits. Will the Oscars producers reign him in at all, or will they let him do his thing and risk the consequences? This could be another Ricky Gervais-at-the-Golden-Globes situation if they're not careful.
We'll find out soon enough. The Oscars air on Sunday, February 24, 2013.
What do YOU think of Seth MacFarlane hosting the Academy Awards?

Christie's State of the State Address which he delivered to a Joint Session of the Legislature today: "Hurricane Sandy has drastically changed the whole dynamic of priorities in New Jersey for the upcoming year. Issues such as education, sick pay reform and shared services will remain important, but the governor's address today properly places our recovery effort as the top priority. Addressing the needs of residents, communities and businesses devastated by the superstorm requires a bipartisan approach. Our collective voices need to keep up the pressure on the federal government to deliver on the funding our state desperately needs. "The governor is right on point when he says we can accomplish much more for the people of this state by working together instead of partisan bickering. The road to recovery will take some time, but we are resolved to seeing this through so that everyone who needs help gets it. The entire state has a vested interest in rebuilding and helping the Jersey Shore recover. Its tourism trade and small business community are key parts of New Jersey's economic engine that create jobs and generate revenues for the state. The plan is clear. Now it's up to us to execute it." #### On the Net: http://www.NJAssemblyRepublicans.com NJ Assembly Republicans on Facebook NJ Assembly Republicans on Twitter

Scott Porter: Tells us what you are doing this off-season. Where are you working out and what other stuff do you have going on prior to the draft?
Jason Ford: I am working in Tampa, Florida with Josh Cooper at Cooper speed skills. I am working hard on my speed and other drills to get me ready for my pro day. I played in the NFLPA All-Star game where I had a good experience. I was the leading rusher in the game. I felt I did very well there in front of an audience and I think I really helped myself out.
Scott Porter: What do you feel are your greatest strengths?
Jason Ford: I feel my greatest strengths are my vision and my ability to block. I am good at catching the ball out of the backfield.
Scott Porter: What will you be focusing on this off-season to make yourself a better player at the next level?
Jason Ford: I am really focusing on my speed and acceleration to the hole. I feel I will pick on an offense fast but I would like to learn as much terminology as I can to prepare myself for that part.
Scott Porter: Who has been your biggest influence throughout your career?
Jason Ford: Shonn Greene has been a big influence to me because of our style of play being so similar. He picks up blocks well and can do a lot of things for a big back that I feel I bring to the table. Off the field my mother is a big influence. She is a hard worker and has always taught me what hard work does and what it takes to be a hard worker.
Scott Porter: What do you feel are your greatest accomplishments?
Jason Ford: I feel some of my greatest accomplishments are being 2nd all time in touchdowns at Illinois and being in the top 15 in career rushing yards. As a Freshmen I aimed for goals such as that and I accomplished a lot of what I came here to do in my mind.
Scott Porter: Is there a player in the NFL that you watch and see similar traits in you?
Jason Ford: Shonn Greene is the first that comes to mind. I also see similar traits in Michael Tuner and Frank Gore. I know I am not on that level yet, but I like to take their games and pick up on things. They have good size and are powerful backs like myself. They do a lot of little things well such as picking up blitzes. The stuff that doesn't show up in the stats.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Jason Ford: Get on a team and take advantage of an opportunity. I want to make an impact on special teams and fullback or running back whatever a team decides to do with me and then I will go from there.
Scott Porter: What hobbies do you have off the field?
Jason Ford: I like to play computer games and listen to music. I like watching old college football games also.
Scott Porter: What type of person and player is an NFL team getting in Jason Ford?
Jason Ford: They are getting a leader who is a hard worker and determined. I am very hungry and want to work hard to play in this league for a very long time.

About SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM WWW.SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM is a service designed to help bonafide shareholders of publicly traded US companies fight short selling. SqueezeTrigger.com has built a proprietary database that uses Threshold list feeds and short sale time and sale data from NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE to generate detailed and useful information to combat the short selling problem. For the first time, actual trade by trade data is available to the public that shows the attempted size, actual size, price and average value of short sales in stocks that have been shorted. This information is valuable in determining the precise point at which short sellers go out-of-the-money and start losing on their short trades.
SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM has built a massive database that collects, analyzes and publishes a proprietary SqueezeTrigger for each stock that has been shorted. The SqueezeTrigger database of nearly 2.5 billion short sale transactions goes back to January 1, 2005 and calculates the exact price at which the Total Short Interest is short in each stock. This data was never before available prior to January 1, 2005 because the Self Regulatory Organizations (primary exchanges) guarded it aggressively. After the SEC passed Regulation SHO, exchanges were forced to allow data processors like SqueezeTrigger.com to access the data.
The SqueezeTrigger database collects individual short trade data on over 7,000 NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ stocks and general short trade data on nearly 8,000 OTCBB and PINKSHEET stocks. Each month the database grows by approximately 50,000,000 short sale transactions and provides investors with the knowledge necessary to time when to buy and sell stocks with outstanding short positions. By tracking the size and price of each montha'a"s short transactions, SQUEEZETRIGGER.COM provides institutions, traders, analysts, journalists and individual investors the exact price point where short sellers start losing money and a short squeeze can begin.

|hope college > academic departments > art & art history
Current Exhibition:
Stephen Milanowksi
About the Exhibition :
The exhibition is the third and final in this year's inaugural "Breaking Artistic Barriers Series" focusing on disegno. "Disegno," or "design" in its original, 16th-century definition, refers to the creative idea in the mind of the artist. The goal of the series is to explore the principle of disegno through a contemporary, 21st-century lens. Over the course of the academic year, the exhibitions and programming at The De Pree Gallery have been devoted to exploring how "design" in its broad, modern usage—that is, in denoting the graphic and industrial arts—can co-exist with the so-called "fine arts" and aid one another in the unique expression of self.
Milanowski works with a hand-held, large-format camera, 4x5 film holders and a separate, high-powered flash attached to his waist, and takes portraits of everyday people. He has said of his work, "I have the idea that everyday life is not very common after all—that there are new things to be discovered in the commonplace and in the everyman. So, I love to make these portraits amidst public events and public settings: parades, fairs, conventions, competitions of all sorts—really any large-scale gathering of Americans."
His photographs are part of the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The National Gallery of Art, The Houston Museum of Fine Arts, The High Museum of Art and The Polaroid Collection, among numerous other public collections. MoMA has purchased his work in CELEBRATIONS and ANIMALS; his work was also included in MoMA's recent survey of late 20th-century photography in the newly reinstalled Edward Steichen galleries. He worked with Bob Tarte to produce the book "Duplicity," a monograph of Milanowski's portraits.
For more information, please contact the De Pree Gallery Office at (616) 395-7500. Regular Gallery hours for the Academic Year are Monday - Saturday 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.; and Sunday 1:00 until 5:00 p.m. The De Pree Art Center and Gallery is located at the corner of 12th Street and Columbia Avenue. Gallery hours may be reduced during breaks and holidays. The gallery is handicapped accessible.
Admission is free.

See Kate Hudson's Fabulous Bikini Body — She's Had Two Kids?! (VIDEO)
The sun is out. The beach is calling. You know what that means? It's bikini season!
Leading the charge toward the perfect tan is Kate Hudson. Girlfriend's been at the front of the bikini-wearing pack for going on two decades and we think she looks better every year! Maybe she's just got good genes to thank — her mom is Goldie Hawn, after all — or perhaps she has a really, really good personal trainer. Either way, Kate's abs are out of sight.
Watch the video above to see the mother of two and her fiancé, Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy, living the life on the Spanish island of Ibiza (so nice to see you two together!).
Carrying snorkel gear, Kate wears a white bikini top that perfectly sets off her tropical glow and a blue mini-skirt that shows those washboard abs we mentioned as well as the rest of Kate's fit bod.
The two headed out on the water on a yacht (like you do) with Kate showing off her booty in the process. Honestly, if we didn't know Kate was a mother of two — to son Ryder by ex-husband Chris Robinson and son Bingham with Matthew — we wouldn't believe she's had kids! Just look at that tight tummy!
Doing crunches as you read this article to try and catch up with Kate? Take a break and let us know what you think of these vacation snapshots!

Actor Ashutosh Rana, who is rarely seen on screen these days, says his only criterion for choosing a film is to see how different it is from his previous roles.
"Whenever I find variety and where I do not have to repeat anything... if I find such a character, then I don't ask 'Who are you and how big are you'. If you have a challenging character (to offer), then I am yours and you are mine," the 48 year old said here Wednesday at the mahurat shot of his new film "Soda".
Ashutosh recalled the varied characters he has essayed in his entire career.
"Like there was this film 'Kismet Love Paisa Dilli', my character was very different. 'Ata, Pata, Lapata' is different, the character in Ram Gopal Varma's 'Ab Tak Chappan 2' is very different, in this film ('Soda'), it is also different," Ashutosh said.
"So if you look at my entire career, if there is Gokul Pandit from 'Dushman', then there is also a Lajja Shankar of 'Sangharsh' and Yogen Singh of 'LOC: Kargil' and also a Kishen Yadav of 'Chot' and there is also 'Shabnam Mausi'," he added.
Directed by Vinod Kumar Singh, "Soda" also stars Om Puri.

A Pollocksville man is accused of using a stolen car to ram into a business, making off with four stolen guns over the weekend. And lawmen say it's not the first time the man has used a stolen vehicle to bust his way into a business.
Jacob Riggs is facing multiple charges in two counties, including felony breaking and entering, felony larceny of firearms, felony possession of stolen firearms, felony larceny of a motor vehicle, flee to elude arrest, reckless driving and resisting officers.
Carteret County deputies say Riggs stole the vehicle in Jones County, and then used it to ram into the front door of the Croatan Trading Post on Highway 58. Inside they say Riggs stole three antique rifles and a handgun. Deputies say damage to the building is estimated at $4,000.
Jones County deputies spotted the vehicle and chased it until it ran into a ditch on Catfish Lake Road. The stolen guns were found inside, while Riggs was arrested later Saturday morning.
Deputies say Riggs was out on bond for doing the same thing in Onslow County back in July with another stolen vehicle.

Mississippi law requires school districts to offer kindergarten, but nothing requires children to attend.
A bill that has passed the Senate and awaits House consideration would strengthen attendance laws.
The bill still would not require all five-year-olds to register for kindergarten. But it says that those who do register must attend class, just as children are required to do starting in first grade.
Sen. Terry Burton of Newton said Monday that the intent is to make sure children are ready to learn when they start first grade.
Kindergarten was one of the main sticking points during battles over Mississippi's Education Reform Act of 1982.
Those who wanted to require kindergarten said it would help children set a foundation for learning. Those who opposed it said the state should not interfere with parents' decisions on how to raise their children.
The compromise that year was to require districts to offer kindergarten but not require children to attend.

Rousing the Spirits of Business to Create More Jobs
Optimistic forecasters say the U.S. economy is likely to grow at a bit better than a 3.5% annual pace over the next 12 months, but even they say that will leave unemployment at a still-high 9% or so a year from now. The moderately pessimistic, whose ranks are growing daily, foresee growth a full percentage point or more slower. The seriously pessimistic are talking "double dip."
A new Wall Street Journal survey finds that nearly half of 46 private forecasters queried said the U.S. won't return to 5.5% unemployment until 2015 or later.
The surest way to bring the unemployment rate down faster is for the U.S. economy to grow more rapidly. On that score, a scan of the economic landscape is discouraging.
Consumer spending? That seems unlikely to propel the economy to 4% or better growth if wage increases are scarce and Americans remain shell-shocked by the collapse in housing prices and the ups and downs of 401(k) retirement accounts. Housing? It may rebound in percentage terms, but from a very low level. Exports? The rising U.S. dollar and sluggishness in Europe don't bode well.
Government? The oomph from federal fiscal stimulus is fading, and Congress isn't interested in administering another dose. State and local governments, meanwhile, are cutting spending and raising taxes.
It's an extraordinary moment: With nearly five jobless workers for every job opening, their home states cutting staff and services and the outlook darkening, Congress—clearly noting public antipathy to government spending—has decided to talk about, not act on, reducing the budget deficit and go home for the summer. Federal Reserve officials are at least contemplating contingency plans, though Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke appears disinclined to do anything soon, given divergent views among his colleagues.
Which leaves business.
Business investment accounts for only 10% of gross domestic product, but moves up and down significantly with executives' outlook for the economy, the availability of credit and what John Maynard Keynes, the 20th-century economic giant, famously labeled "animal spirits," now known by the more clinical term "confidence." One thing—perhaps the only thing—that could quicken the pace of economic growth would be for businesses to turn optimistic and invest and hire.
That's why talk of big business being ticked off at President Barack Obama, and being somewhere between confused and outraged about tax, health, energy, environment and trade policy is more than just gossip. A lot of business executives seem to be at a tipping point. If they're feeling good and the economy is perking up, more will pursue new investment or hiring. If they're depressed by talk of double dip, fiscal austerity and beating up on business—whatever the merits of the specifics—they won't.
Other than attempts at smoothing executives' ruffled feathers with photo ops and task forces, what might government do to spur investment and hiring? The president, for good reason, is focused on vexing long-run problems like energy, climate change, immigration and education. But none of those are likely to produce more jobs and business investment in 2011.
The fundamental problem is clear. After a borrowing binge, the U.S., particularly consumers and financial firms, are trying to reduce their debts. The question is how fast to let that happen. The cold-turkey approach, a rapid deleveraging, means a very weak economy. Government policy has been aimed at slowing the pace of deleveraging by increasing government borrowing to offset shrinking private borrowing. Now that is no longer politically feasible.
"At a time when many people are trying to cut back in their personal lives, it is difficult to persuade the public that driving up the deficit is a good idea—even though it actually is a good idea, especially if combined with a clearer plan for long-term consolidation," Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius wrote recently.
If more deficit-widening stimulus is a non-starter, then what? Look for more politically palatable alternatives to gain favor if the economy deteriorates. The weaker the economy, for instance, the more likely Congress will be to renew the Bush tax cuts for a year despite the deficit talk, to avoid the braking effect of letting taxes rise in 2011.
There's talk in Washington about a federal highway and surface transportation bill, the one form of spending about which some deficit-phobes are enthusiastic. Or perhaps a public-private infrastructure fund of some sort that would leverage taxpayer money and draw some cash out of corporate coffers, and might help beleaguered state governments at the same time. Or, with BP replacing Goldman Sachs as the corporate villain of the month, perhaps there will be a move to raise taxes on oil companies (which might become a stealth gasoline tax) and use that money to cut other taxes to encourage hiring or business investment—a "deficit-neutral" way to spur growth.
Or perhaps there will be quiet talks with bank regulators about not moving too rapidly to implement new rules for banks being negotiated at Basel. Or perhaps there will be talk—never advertised, of course—of the administration backing away from tightening some regulations that, though popular with Democratic voters, may be more economically costly than proponents admit.
The moment for watchful waiting is passing.

This shooting in Newtown, Ct., is a huge tragedy. I can�t even imagine the pain and suffering that they are going through. Losing a child must be the most painful loss that there is. And I think the media is overdoing it. They need to quit showing the same thing over and over, and exploiting these kids by putting their pictures on TV. Don�t they care how this must be affecting the families? And quit sticking a microphone in their faces and asking them how they feel. Leave them alone and let them have time to grieve. They need time alone with their family. One woman remarked, �Where was God?� I�ll tell you where God was. Thanks to those idiots in D.C., he was kicked out of the schools and all public places. When God was allowed in our schools, you could hear the children laughing and singing, now you hear gun shots and screaming.
And now, they are yelling for gun control. There are plenty of laws on the books, if the judges and DAs would just enforce them instead of plea bargaining with the criminals and putting them back on the streets. They want to take guns away from law abiding citizens, but the criminals will still have theirs. If they don�t have enough, then Obama and Holder will have another �fast and furious� gun give away like they did for the Mexican drug cartel.
What happened to the law �3 strikes and its prison�? You see criminals go to court 6-10 times for the same thing, drugs, B&E, robbery and yet they are still walking the streets. And don�t tell me the prisons are full. That�s no excuse. Give them a sleeping bag and a pillow and let them sleep on the floor. Then take them out every day and let them clean the streets and roadways. As long as they keep getting by with these crimes, they are just going to get worse.

Remix challenge 'Nova Zembla' becomes a Top 40 hit
The first Dutch 3D movie, 'Nova Zembla', now also has its first Top 40 hit! During an interview on Radio 538, the director of the movie, Reinout Oerlemans, challenged Armin to remix the official soundtrack of the historic drama. Armin gladly took the challenge and released it on iTunes at the end of December 2011. In the meantime, the remix has grown so popular that it took the highest new entry (#6) in the Dutch Top 100 and became 'hit of the week' in the Dutch Top 40 (#26).
The epic 'Nova Zembla' soundtrack, produced and composed by the trio Chrisnanne Wiegel, Melcher Meirmans and Merlijn Snitker, perfectly fitted the style of the Dutch DJ and producer. Armin managed to turn the angelic vocals, orchestral intermezzo and melody into a danceable trance version. An official music video for the remix is in the making!
The full proceeds of the remix will go to Polar Bears International, an international organization that helps protect the polar bears.
The remix is available on iTunes here!

Nex faulty?
Hi - I just got a new NEX-5 on Friday and have had very little chance to play with it as I was away this weekend.
However, I suspect it may be faulty. The camera works perfectly, but the control wheel makes a loud clacking noise every now and again as you spin it around. Something like 2 "clacks" per revolution.
I am not talking about the normal click per 20 degree turn, nor the click when you depress north, south east or west. This "clack" seems to be quite random and much louder.
Does anyone elses do this? As I say the camera works fine, but the noise is a llittle disconcerting - the clack doesn't correspond to anything having been selected.
Also, I am concerned that in a few months it may stop working because of some mechanical failure, and then I will be looking at a lengthy repair.
Is it a send it back job? Or do they all sound like this?

Teacher performance-based pay in Hawaii will cause division - teacher
A teacher in Hawaii is disappointed at new teacher contracts, saying many colleagues she's spoken to believe it will create division among peers.
After two years, an agreement was finally signed last week between teachers and the state, which includes a new performance based pay and annual evaluation system, as well as small pay rises.
Amy Perruso, who teaches at Mililani High School, says the pay rise compensation is tiny compared to the financial losses some teachers have suffered over the past two years.
And says the evaluation system is more likely to end up devaluing those in the profession.
"My fear is that the use of this new evaluation tool will further contribute to the kind of demoralisation of teachers and begin to pit teachers against each other."
Amy Perruso.
The new deal takes effect July 1, in time for the start of the school year.

Anyway, two things to read that I found interesting -- first this article from MDA and later this site which seems to fit within the primal diet approach. I found the discussion on constipation and on gut floral very interesting . Anyway - a bit awkward to discuss even in this format - but maybe it will be helpful.

Until today,
extend was the only way to inject a representer into a model to render or consume representations. Many people criticised this approach as it adds methods to an object which should rather be treated immutuable. Besides that, using
extend seems to affect the performance due to caching invalidation.
song = Song.find(1) song.extend(SongRepresenter).to_json
As a result, people who actually liked the representer idea declined using it because they were worried about
extend. No longer should this keep you from using roar and representable!
Use Decorator Over Extend.
A minor refactoring brought us
class SongRepresenter < Representable::Decorator include Representable::JSON property :title property :track end
Instead of a module, derive a class that exposes the very same DSL that you know from the "old" module representers. BTW, you can also include representer modules into
Decorator classes.
Just pass the represented object into the constructor and let representable do the work. Your models won't get hurt anymore – promised!
Use the
:decorator option where you used
:extend in a nested setup.
class AlbumRepresenter < Representable::Decorator include Representable::JSON collection :songs, decorator: SongRepresenter end
In roar, you might use the
Roar::Decorator base class. Pretty cool: roar-rails already supports decorators.
Speed Is Relative.
Several on-going discussions debate whether heavy usage of
extend slows down your app. I did a quick benchmark myself where I render an
Album instance containing 10,000
Song instances which results in 10,000 calls to
extend when rendering the album.
Album.new(songs: 10000.times.collect { Song.new }). extend(AlbumRepresenter). to_json
I did the same with a
Decorator class.
alb = Album.new(songs: 10000.times.collect { Song.new }) AlbumDecorator.new(alb).to_json
Here are the results. I leave it up to you to judge these metrics.
# time with extend : 0.780000 # time with decorate : 0.600000
It looks as if
Decorator is faster – go figure!
Using Decorator With Hypermedia.
There's a tiny pitfall when using a decorator on a hypermedia-consuming object in roar.
class SongRepresenter < Roar::Decorator include Roar::Representer::JSON::HAL include Roar::Decorator::HypermediaConsumer property :title link(:self) { song_url(self } end
Be sure to include the
Roar::Decorator::HypermediaConsumer module which will propagate parsed links to the represented object by calling it's
link= writer. You have to provide that as well.
class Song attr_accessor :links end
Now, consuming an incoming representation will set links on the client object.
SongRepresenter.new(song).from_json("..hypermedia json") song.links[:self] #=> "http:songs/1"
Go and use decorators and tell us how you like it. Never shall anyone anymore complain about dirty extendings!

What you see before you is a losing Powerball receipt for 5 tickets. I was in high hopes last night that I would be the winner of $400 million dollars. ($223 million if I wanted it in cash at one time, which I did). Then, after the Feds and the state got their cuts, I might have been left with $100 million, give or take a few.
I'm sighing as I type this. I really could have had fun with $100 million bucks… I only buy tickets when the prize gets to $400 million or so. I don't want to get into the habit of gambling. :0)
Even though I lost, I haven't lost hope.
The Publisher's Clearing House has been sending me LOTS of emails telling me how special I am.
Their next drawing for $7,000/week for life is in November sometime.
Maybe if I hold my mouth right…..
