Investors cagey on bonds as they await rate cap decision

Treasury Building in Nairobi
Treasury Building in Nairobi. FILE PHOTO | NMG

Appetite for this month’s 10-year Treasury bond is likely to remain muted as investors wait for the Finance Bill to pass through Parliament to give clarity on the interest rate direction, analysts say.

The Bill proposes repeal of the interest rate cap, whose removal could trigger a rise in interest rates on government securities if banks start to shift towards private sector lending. The bond seeks to raise Sh40 billion for budgetary support with its sale due to close this week..

“Our initial expectation is for the paper to record moderate subscription with room for the apex bank to come back into the market to seek more funds through a tap sale,” said analysts at Kingdom Securities in a note to investors.

The Central Bank of Kenya has been keen on taming aggressive bidders to try and keep the rate low.

Analysts expect the weighted accepted rate for the bond to fall between 12.50 per cent and 12.80 per cent. This is the second bond issuance in the current financial year.

The Jets Got Clobbered Last Night, And Now Everyone Is Panicking Again

Mark Sanchez

OK, so maybe the Jets didn’t get clobbered, but they got worked pretty good by the Patriots at home last night.And now everyone is freaking out that the Jets won’t make the playoffs.

Here’s why that’s premature:

They did exactly what they had to do on a brutal three-game stretch. The Jets just went 2-1 against San Diego, Buffalo, and New England. Yeah, last night’s loss leaves them on the outside of the playoff race looking in. But getting two wins out of those three games was huge.

The schedule really opens up now. The Jets next four games are Denver, Buffalo, Washington, Kansas City. NY should go at least 3-1 in that stretch.

Buffalo stinks all of a sudden. The Bills have fallen off considerably since their hot start. Everyone thought two of the Patriots, Jets, and Bills would make the playoffs. Now it appears the Bills have lost their mojo, so that eliminates one contender.

The stats say they’re better than we think. They topped Football Outsiders’ complex but ultimately reliable DVOA rankings last week despite a 5-3 record. The stats like them because they are consistent, albeit not spectacular, in all three phases of the game.

Mark Sanchez made a few bone-headed plays last night, and the Jets o-line make the Patriots pass rush look better than it has all year.

But at 5-4 with a bunch of winnable games coming up, it’s not time to panic yet.

The NFL was locked out this summer. The NBA is still locked out and their season is in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Major League Baseball announced their new Collective Bargaining Agreement before most people even knew the two sides were negotiating.

The new deal will impact the sport in a number of ways. Here is the quick summary:

  • The deal is for five years.
  • Each league will now have two Wild Card teams that will meet in a one-game playoff for the right to play against one of the division winners. This may not begin until 2013.
  • More instant replay including fair/foul calls, and whether a player caught or trapped a ball.
  • Players will be subjected to blood-testing for Human Growth Hormone.
  • Stricter limits on how teams spend revenue-sharing dividends, and stricter requirements on how the spending is reported to the league office.
  • Teams must now have a payroll 25% higher than the revenue-sharing they are receiving. No more pocketing the revenue-sharing dollars.
  • Teams in the 15 largest markets will not be allowed to receive revenue-sharing money.
  • Players are now required to attend the All-Star game unless injured.
  • Teams can add a player to the roster for double-headers. Also, baseball may bring back scheduled double-headers to shorten the season.
  • Draft pick compensation for free agents has essentially been eliminated (starting next winter) except for the most elite players. This will improve free agency, but could mean fewer trades.
  • Teams will now have a limit on how much money they can give to draft picks or face a steep tax, and possibly lose draft picks.
  • Teams will also be limited in how much they are allowed to spend on international free agents, who are still not subject to the draft.

Eric Barker is the author of "Barking Up The Wrong Tree." In this video, Barker explains how you can find your soul mate using math. The following is a transcript of the video.

In terms of finding your soul mate, there's actually an algorithm developed by mathematicians that can be used to help you do this.

How it works is basically you take the number people that you think you could go on dates with in your lifetime and so, let's say 100. And mathematicians say take the square root that number, so that would be 10, and then you go on dates with those 10 people and afterward you tell them all, "No thanks." But you remember out of those 10 which one was the best person that you met?

Then keep going on more dates and the minute you find someone who is better than that best person out of the 10, that person is the closest thing mathematically to finding your soul mate.

What's interesting is, this is kind of cold, and clinical, and distant. Most people don't want to use something like this to romantically find their soulmate. But what's interesting is we can also look at research from arranged marriages and find that we can learn a lesson there as well. In that love marriages usually start off much happier than arranged marriage, but however after a few years, arranged marriages actually their happiness quotient exceeds the love marriages.

The one take away we can learn is that with arranged marriages people realize they need to make it work. They're basically handcuffed to another person and they put the effort into it. As opposed to with love marriages people usually feel there's some outside force that's going to bring them happiness and that's kind of dangerous to leave things to fate.

So we can learn a lot from math, from arranged marriages, in terms of relationships, in terms of how we can apply these things and realize that sometimes it takes a little bit more than just romance. Sometimes a little bit of math and a little bit of effort can help.

If you tried to tell the world what's on your mind, you'd very likely get this message:

Bill Ackman

Billionaire activist-investor Bill Ackman has no shortage of critics, and it's not hard to see why.

When he goes after a new target, Ackman can be vicious, with over-the-top presentations and personal attacks. With his most famous short position — Herbalife — he has promised investors a smoking gun more than once, only to come up short.

A guy like that ought to, then, be wary of giving his enemies ammunition.

The latest attack on the Pershing Square manager is self-inflicted and the product of poor disclosure. Some people are making it out to be an effort to mask Ackman's performance in September.

Here's the issue. Last week, Pershing Square Holdings, the publicly traded part of Ackman's hedge fund, made a change to the way it reports its numbers.

Pershing Square used to report weekly returns and net asset values, meaning the value of an entity's assets minus its liabilities, based on calculations as of close of business every Tuesday. You can see historical reports here.

Last week, however, those numbers came in based on close of business on Wednesday, September 30, instead of Tuesday, September 29. They showed a 12.6% year-to-date loss. Then, on October 2, Pershing Square Holdings released a statement officially announcing the changes to its NAV reporting policies.

One of those changes, according to the statement, was that the company would only report results once on a week that included the end of the month — rather than on the Tuesday and again on the last day of the month.

The reason for that tweak, according to the release, is to prevent investors from using the periodic reporting to front-run, or determine portfolio changes in advance of official disclosures.

The statement also noted that weekly and monthly reporting would now be provided on a one-business-day lag instead of two business days.

Valeant losses

Pershing didn't give a reason for waiting to make the announcement until after it had made the changes to its reporting.

But the criticism that has emerged is that the change seems awfully convenient. It saved Pershing from reporting a loss September 29 that was even bigger than the 12.6% loss it reported the next day.

By Australia-based fund manager John Hempton's calculation, Pershing's year-to-date return September 29 would've been closer to -16.6%. Hempton owns shares of Herbalife, the company Ackman has called a pyramid scheme and against which the New York-based manager has a massive short position.

Another blogger and prolific Herbalife bull made similar calculations about Pershing's returns here.

The dramatic difference over a single day is that Pershing's stake in drugmaker Valeant plummeted in September, especially Monday and Tuesday, but rebounded around 12% Wednesday.

Valeant plummeted in September, including on September 28 and 29.
Yahoo! Finance

Hempton suggests that Pershing Square made the change to mask the month-end changes to its performance, saying that such a move "opens Bill Ackman up for allegations of deception — allegations that Bill should neutralize immediately by reporting the interim data point as originally planned."

Another way to look at this is that the worst thing that Pershing Square did was fumble the way it explained the changes. It wasn't until after it had already reported September's numbers that the fund explained what it was doing.

This is an error for sure — the fund is publicly traded and that means changes ought to be outlined before they are rolled out. But it's only a problem if Pershing Square repeats this kind of thing over and over.

There are other reasons not to read too much into the change: Pershing Square's portfolio consists of publicly traded companies, so its day-to-day performance can mostly be tracked. This is how we can guess that it recovered a chunk of losses on the last day of the month.

And nobody's claiming that the numbers Pershing Square reported September 30 are inaccurate.

The European Food Safety Authority's decision to announce that prunes are not a laxative is causing some controversy.

Last February, experts from the EFSA argued in a paper (available here in pdf):

"The Panel concludes that the evidence provided is insufficient to establish a cause and effect relationship between the consumption of dried plums of 'prune' cultivars (Prunus domestica L.) and maintenance of normal bowel function."

Now — in a typically bizarre fashion that only an MEP could produce — that decision has been challenged. British MEP Sir Graham Watson, a Liberal Democrat, called out the decision in Strasbourg (via The Telegraph):

"I have asked the Commission if it is satisfied with the criteria and the methodology used for testing such claims because I know that prunes contain two substances sorbitol and dihydrophenylisatin, which have laxative effects, But most of our constituents do not require a scientific test."

"I have also invited the Commissioner responsible for health and consumer policy, John Dalli, to a prune eating contest to see for himself."

While the means may be a little crude, Sir Graham may have a point. The panel in charge of this food-claims related work has apparently rejected 95 percent of claims, including one that water could prevent dehydration.

It's not easy to pick a university, but if you want to get into finance, reputation and tradition trumps everything., which crowdsources data on pay, compared the salaries of graduates going into finance for analysts and associates from different universities and produced a ranking.

They found the average salary for these titles across all universities is £62,000 for graduates from UK and Irish universities.

But those from prestigious universities earned a lot more.

Alice Leguay from said: "Counterintuitively, the top universities for finance are not necessarily the ones with a reputation for being business-focussed, but Oxbridge and other well-known Russell Group institutions. It seems UK recruiters are less concerned about vocational course content, giving more weight to a university's reputation and prestige.

Here's the ranking.

Tony Ehrenreich. Picture: THE TIMES

The South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) has ordered Cosatu's former Western Cape leader Tony Ehrenreich to apologise in writing for offensive comments he made on social media.

He was found to have committed hate speech and must apologise to the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) within one month. The written statement must also affirm his commitment to constitutional values.

The commission ruling relates to a social media post published in August 2014. It found that the post advocated unfair discrimination against the SAJBD.

"The commission is of the view that the post in question can be reasonably construed to demonstrate a clear intention to promote hatred of the members of the [SAJBD]‚ as is prohibited by Section 10 of the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act. Here, the commission found that the [social media post] amounted to hate speech‚" the commission ruled.

Another statement by Ehrenreich‚ objected to by another party‚ was found not to amount to hate speech.

This Adorable Martin O'Malley Video Had The Musician Himself Serenading A Supporter — VIDEO

Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley is using his musical talents to garner support for his 2016 presidential campaign. O'Malley's campaign hosted a contest for voters who donated at least $25 by the end of the last fundraising quarter, and one lucky supporter won an adorable video from the candidate. The contest promised a personalized song from the former governor, and the video shows him sitting on a desk in a campaign office, playing the guitar and singing about his appreciation for the financial contribution.

The lucky winner was Kathryn Touloumis, a Chicago-based O'Malley fan. In the video, O'Malley sang: "The quarter's finally over. We've got more gas in our tank. I can't tell you my excitement, because it's you I have to thank. It may seem like it's just money, but to me it's so much more — it keeps my staff door knocking in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina, and more." While the beginning of the song could be for anyone, it got more personalized for Touloumis toward the end. O'Malley sang: "Thank you Kathryn for lending me your hand. Thank you Kathryn for spreading our message of new leadership across the land of the free and the home of the brave."

Martin O'Malley on YouTube

According to her LinkedIn, Touloumis works in intellectual property law for the Duane Morris LLP law firm in Chicago. She studied at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and then at the University of California, San Diego.

O'Malley's video for Touloumis shows a laid-back, artistic side of him that voters don't always see. Why can't all presidential campaign videos be this cute? I bet more Americans would pay attention to elections if more politicians were this adorable, as opposed to the typical stuffy white men in suits who have overrun Washington.

Martin O'Malley on YouTube

O'Malley has used his musical skills throughout his campaign, first making a video of himself strumming "Hail to the Chief" on a guitar to tease his presidential bid announcement. Since then, he's played songs for voters on the campaign trail, and is now singing his appreciation for financial contributions to O'Malley 2016.

O'Malley doesn't just play the guitar, either — he also plays the banjo and is the frontman of a Celtic rock band, O'Malley's March, which he first formed in 1988. According to the band's Facebook page, O'Malley is the lead vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and tin whistler. The page says: "Raised on the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, educated by the Jesuits and Wolfe Tones, emboldened by Shane MacGowan, seasoned by Christy Moore. Martin has played a narrow range of music his entire life: Irish." Before starting O'Malley's March, the politician has performed solo since 1985, when he was 22.

How Much Are Milk Makeup's Lip Metals? Here’s What They Will Cost You

It's that special time of year again where all beauty lovers are on the search for the perfect holiday lippie. Thankfully, Milk Makeup has created two metallic shades that are unlike anything you've seen before. They combined one of the best trends of the year with a classic to make sure you end the year on a gorgeous note. How much are Milk Makeup Lip Metals, you ask? They're pricier than your average lippies but worth every single penny.

Milk Makeup has had a big year in makeup. They're created some completely unique products that the world has never seen before, and the brand is ending on the same note. To round out the year, they created a new lip formula to stay on the sparkly trend — Lip Metals. The new formula comes in two gorgeous rosy shades that could easily be worn any time, any season, but just happen to be perfect for the upcoming holidays.

Each of the colors, Buffy and Slayer, cost $28 each. That's a bit more expensive than the other lip products in the range, but considering how gorgeous these colors are, it makes perfect sense. The dusty rose and berry shades both come in a sleek, metal package and give off the most subtle and sophisticated shine. This is anything but your average metallic.

How stunning are those colors! According to the site, the Lip Metals has a foil-like finish that's a no-budge formula. Don't think that it's drying though. It's infused with lotus oil, and mineral complex to keep lips hydrated and feeling comfortable.

Lip Metal, $28,

Just like the formula, the packaging is trend-forward as well. Instead of a liquid lipstick tube, it's a twist up. The application is a brush, so you just paint it on your lips as well. Milk Makeup is known for being creative for their products and packaging, so it comes as no surprise that they did things a bit differently.

Nothing that they've posted says that these shades are limited edition, so you should have ample time to add them to your collection. Fingers crossed that they come out with even more shades as well, because these are absolutely gorgeous.

Clint Eastwood's Son Scott Eastwood Wants to Be a Man's Man, Not a 'Kid Actor'

In his ongoing effort to step out of his father Clint Eastwood's overwhelmingly gigantic shadow, Scott Eastwood has been taking all of the seriously serious roles he can get in Hollywood — and, apparently, it's all apart of his master plan. In a new interview for his spread in Town & Country (the MAN issue, of course), Scott explained exactly what type of Hollywood career he wants, and tried his hardest to convince us all that having the last name "Eastwood" did not help him at all:

On working hard despite his famous family:

People assumed that I would have everything handed to me, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I was on my own just doing the grind.

On what type of actor he wants to be:

I want to be a man’s man—not a kid actor or a glitzy pop star but a no-bullshit leading man.

On some advice his dad gave him, which kind of explains a lot about that disastrous Obama/chair speech at the Republican National Convention:

As a director and an actor, my dad’s motto is ‘Tell the truth.’ The only way of doing that is having life experiences and being a storyteller.

Got that, everyone? Scott Eastwood worked just as hard as everyone else to get his IMDb profile, and he is a MAN'S MAN so that's why we never saw him on his stepmother's reality show, Eastwood and Company. Srs bsns.

If you do your due diligence and investigate a few Florida cities, you'll find that they are all different. In fact, they are fundamentally different from one another.  The first and most obvious distinction is between the east and west coasts of Florida.  The vibes of the two halves are entirely two different things.  I guess it starts with the difference between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.  The Atlantic is rough and choppy on most days and the Gulf is usually serene.  You'll find an occasional surfer on the east coast but there are rarely waves on the west. The sand is snow-white on the west coast and tan on the east.  The beaches are often big and broad on the west coast and skinny on the east.  Because the east coast had its growth spurt earlier than the west, the towns seem old and a little grungy.  I guess you're starting to see why I chose the west coast when I moved here.

Besides the differences between the east and west halves, each town is unique even if they seem similar initially.  Tampa and Clearwater are urban and busy.  Of course Miami is a world city with all that comes with it.  Daytona is almost a time machine back to the 70s. Then you get to Naples and Marco Island.  After exploring every little nook of Florida,  we finally arrived here and were blown away. Palm trees swaying in the gentle wind, the best restaurants and shopping centers, the nicest people  - Southwest Florida is like no other place in the world.  Most people that live in this wonderful spot have arrived here after their own personal searches for the best place in Florida to live.

Don't take our word for it.  Plan a visit to Marco Island and see for yourself.  You can't get in your car or on your bike without crossing a picturesque bridge.  Crime? What crime?  There is literally no end to the fun activities from which to choose.  The island suits couch potatoes just fine too.  Lounging around your pool overlooking a canal is not a bad way to pass the time.

A Marco Island condo may be just what you need.  Give us a call to explore the great options that await you.

Château Cheval Blanc, 2010

Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France

Château Cheval Blanc, 2010

Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, France

  • Bottle
  • Case of 6
  • Case of 12

Grape Varietes: Cabernet Franc 54%, Merlot 46% Wine Style: Right Bank Bordeaux Winemaker: Pierre Lurton and Kees Van Leeuwen Optimum Drinking: 2017-2040 Reviewer Rating: 100 Reviewer: Robert Parker Code: 102894
Estate Notes

Château Cheval Blanc 2010 was rated a perfect 100 points by Robert Parker and was purchased in its original wooden cases. A great wine from a great vintage.

Cheval Blanc is one of only two Saint-Émilion châteaux to be classified as 1er Grand Cru Classé (A) –  Saint-Émilion’s highest appellation.

2010 was another great Bordeaux vintage, following on from the sensational 2009 vintage, and it may well end up the equal of (if not surpassing) both 2005 and 2009 – with so many wines showing a perfect balance of fruit, tannins, acidity and alcohol. It was a different vintage to 2009, and 2010 Bordeaux generally warrant greater ageing.

"The 2010 is one of the most impressive two-year-old Cheval Blancs I have tasted in 34 years in this profession. The final blend of 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot has the tell-tale berry/floral nose with subtle hints of menthol, blueberry, raspberry and flowers in addition to some forest floor and a delicate touch of lead pencil shavings. The wine exhibits more structure and density than it did from barrel, and it was already remarkable then. The foresty/floral notes seem to linger and linger in this surprisingly full-bodied, powerful Cheval Blanc, yet it possesses a very healthy pH that should ensure enormous longevity. Dense purple in color, and a bigger, richer wine than usual, this is one Cheval Blanc that will probably need a decade of cellaring. I like the description from the estate’s administrator, Pierre Lurton, who said it tasted like “liquid cashmere,” a perfect expression, despite the wine’s structure and intensity. This is another 50-year wine from this amazingly structured, rich vintage." Robert Parker

Care for HIV-Infected Now a Family Concern

Sothea remembers her panic three years ago when her daughter and newborn granddaughter tested positive for HIV.

The 60-year-old woman feared she would contract HIV from her 25-year-old daughter, Pheary, and the new baby.

But an explanation by a doctor at Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospital on HIV transmission gave her the courage to become the primary caregiver for Pheary and the newborn—preparing food, washing clothes and boiling water for traditional medicines.

AIDS activists say Sothea’s willingness to nurse her HIV-infected family is an example that more Cambodians should follow. They are working on a new initiative to ensure that other AIDS-stricken Cambodians will not be shunned by family members afraid of contracting HIV, the virus that leads to AIDS.

The Ministry of Health is due to hold an inauguration ceremony today for a 12-month AIDS home-care program. Worker training started in February and home-care referrals are set to begin in May.

If the program is successful, Cambodians with AIDS will die properly cared for by family instead of on the streets or abandoned in hospital beds.

The World Health Organization-funded program, being carried out by seven local NGOs and the Ministry of Health, seeks to teach families to accept and nurse their own HIV-infected family members, said Henrietta Wells, the program coordinator.

The first hurdle will be to convince people that human skin is a thick barrier that prevents transmission of HIV through touching, breathing the same air or kissing, Wells says.

HIV, she explains, is essentially exchange of internal bodily fluids, which excludes saliva.

The program covers 40 caseworkers who are being trained in home care. A referral system will link Phnom Penh’s hospitals, health centers, community leaders, wats and NGOs.

Caseworkers will meet sick patients, then seek permission from families to provide training in HIV safety and basic health care. The home care includes keeping the patient clean and clothed, free of infection and well-fed with nutritional meals.

Workers will visit about four homes a day. Follow-up visits will include psychological counseling for the family.

According to Wells, people with HIV can live a normal life for up to seven years. After AIDS is diagnosed, their life span is typically between a few months and two years.

She added that health workers detected the Cambodia’s first known case of HIV in 1991. Some 120,000 people now are infected with the virus.

Activists say the AIDS epidemic isn’t grave yet. But there are signs that deadly AIDS-related diseases are mounting.

Father Jim Noonan, co-country representative of the Catholic NGO Maryknoll, which runs a health center in Phnom Penh’s Dangkao district, said that of the 110 HIV sufferers in contact with the center in the last six months, more than 40 have died.

As AIDS-related illnesses rise, he and others warn, the public health sector will be ill-equipped to respond.

Dr Veng Thai, director of the city’s health department, said underpaid and uninspired public health workers refuse to look after the AIDS patients occupying 400 of Phnom Penh’s 2,500 hospital beds.

According to one activist who routinely visits AIDS patients in hospitals, the workers there either fear contracting AIDS or feel that the work involved in cleaning and feeding an AIDS patient is beneath them.

If AIDS patients don’t have family to care for them in hospitals, they are abandoned, left unfed and unwashed by hospital staff.

In terminal cases, hospital staff ask the families to take the patients home to die because the workers disdain taking corpses the wats for cremation, Veng Thai said.

Veng Thai said while it is easier to care for an AIDS patient in a hospital, it is far more expensive. He said families are capable of providing decent care to AIDS patients, but simply do not know how.

“The country is struggling to have a health care system and then the new epidemic of AIDS is poured onto this system,” said Noonan. “We’ve all got to do something. If you rely on just a few people, it’s overwhelming.”

“You can’t make this terrible thing go away,” Noonan added. “We’re going to be very limited in what we can do [in the home]. But this is a very meaningful way for family members to really feel that we’re with them.”

Sothea has been receiving help in home care from NGO workers at Maryknoll after Pheary sought out the organization’s health center in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey district.

While she says caring for Pheary and her granddaughter occupies her “24 hours a day,” Sothea works hard at caring for them to “encourage her daughter’s heart.”

At night, the girl often cries. Pheary feels sick, too, but has good days when she feels well enough to go to the market to sell bean sprouts.

“It takes my mind away from thoughts of having HIV,” said Pheary, who husband passed the virus on to her.

He died in 1996.

Pheary says she knows that the traditional medicines she takes every day won’t cure her and that the neighbors do not visit anymore because they are afraid of HIV.

“I want to talk to them, but I don’t understand why they don’t want to come see me anymore,” she lamented.

She fears that her daughter will see her die and she fears that Sothea will become sick and be unable to care for them.

“I don’t want to die before my daughter because then who will be her mother?” Pheary asks.

Hyundai Elantra Earns Cool Points With Parents AND Teens

2017 Hyundai Elantra

Shopping for a new car for your teen driver? The Hyundai Elantra may just fit the bill! In fact, the 2017 model was recently named to U.S. News and World Report’s “Best New Cars for Teens” list, further highlighting the sedan’s family-friendly qualities, among other awesome features.

In order to qualify for the “Best New Cars for Teens” list, a vehicle must demonstrate excellent reliability and safety scores and be rated highly by top automotive critics. The availability of driver-assistance tech is also a requirement. Boasting several awards, including an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating, and offered with a full suite of advanced safety features, it’s no surprise that the Elantra was able to secure a place on this prestigious list.

“At Hyundai we pride ourselves on providing our customers with ‘better’ and the Elantra does just that with advanced safety technologies as well as Blue Link, which features technologies that allow parents to monitor their new drivers,” says Scott Margason, director, Hyundai Motor America. “We are happy to have secured a spot on this list by the reputable U.S. News & World Report by delivering the best combination of reliability, crash protection, and accident avoidance features.”

The best-selling compact car can be had with Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Change Assist, Lane Keep Assist, Smart Cruise Control and Blind Spot Detection with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, all of which are sure to give parents peace of mind when their kids are out on the road. Blue Link, which is available on 2017 models and standard on 2018 models, also gives parents extra confidence, allowing them to monitor where the vehicle is and set limits on its speed and hours of use.

However, the Elantra isn’t just popular with parents. Stylish, tech-savvy and fun-to-drive, the best-selling compact car has plenty to offer young drivers. Standard on the Elantra SE Value Edition, the car is outfitted with a sunroof, keyless ignition/entry, LED daytime running lights, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 7-inch touchscreen.

To learn more about our lineup of Elantra models, stop by our dealership on Camelback Road today!

Sorrell: WPP delivering 'less bureaucratic, more creative' teams in response to advertiser demand

WPP is reacting to top marketers' calls for their agencies to change by delivering more agile and creatively-driven agency structures, Sir Martin Sorrell has told the ad industry.

Sorrell: spoke via video-link from New York
Sorrell: spoke via video-link from New York

Speaking at Advertising Week Europe today, Sorrell acknowledged the wishes expressed by the likes of Procter & Gamble chief marketing officer Marc Pritchard and his Unilever counterpart Keith Weed.

"What Marc Pritchard and Keith Weed are signalling, and other advertisers have signalled, is that we have to be more responsive, more agile, less bureaucratic, less layered, more principle-driven, in the sense of driven by creative principle," Sorrell said, by satellite link from New York.

"One of the things we pointed out to Marc in our discussions with him … there were two things. First it was pointed out that about 50% of what we do is "creative" and the objective was to move that to 75%. So 75% of the time we spend should be around the creative product of our craft rather than being strategic, account management, or whatever it happens to be.

"The other thing was, we pointed out, that often what we had what was termed, I think by the Americans, a 'buddy system'. The client has x number of people, the agency feels obligated to field x number of people in response. Not having to match the structure was increasingly important."

The resulting development can be seen as WPP’s response to the rise in popularity of zero-based budgeting among clients, Sorrell suggested.

"I would just point out that we have in those parts of our operation put together what we call a ZBB agency response, which is much less bureaucratic, much less layered, much more creatively-driven, much more principle-driven in terms of the people who are running it, much more agile, much more responsive. And the results, even in financial terms, quite apart from effectiveness and efficiency, even in finanical terms are as good or better than our traditional models."

Sorrell was interviewed by CNN Money Europe editor Nina dos Santos, who asked him whether it was possible he could be succeeded by a woman.

"Not likely, but possible," Sorrell replied cagily, ever reluctant to let details slip of the group’s succession plans.

In contrast, Sorrell rated the chances of seeing further consolidation in the marketing services industry as "highly likely", especially if led, as seems likely, by further consolidation among media owners. But WPP’s acquisition focus would continue to be on small companies in fast-growth markets and in fields including data, technology and content, he added.

Dos Santos also asked, in light of further revelations about Cambridge Analytica, whether Sorrell had revised his opinion on whether Google and Facebook should be regulated.

"At the end of the day I would be in favour of self-regulation rather than forced regulation. To be fair to Google and Facebook, Google are in the process of hiring 10,000 people to moderate and follow content. Facebook I think are hiring 20,000 people," he said.

Sorrell's appearance today follows WPP stock-price tumble earlier this month in response to underwhelming financials and its decision to cut its long-term earnings growth target. At the time Sorrell said "the traditional creative business is where the pressure is" and it is "less" on the media agencies, while admitting embarassment over WPP's missed revenue targets in 2017.

Overall Rating

Stayed at this park to be in the area for a nearby wedding. The weather was rainy which made the roads very muddy. This is not an easy place to get to from the north or the west. Coming from the south on M-24 you will end up on dirt roads (or in our case "mud" roads).

The site we had offered 30/50 amp with water on a concrete pad. The pad was not level.

The park has a lake and bike trails.

An excellent site. Don\'t be put off by the size. It is huge, but its very clean and the facilities are out of this world. It\'s like a five star complex.
The only downside is that it takes ages to check in and out

David White, on this campsite in May 2018

Travelling party: Couple

Visited in a camper van with my wife. We don’t normally like large sites but this site didn’t give a large site impression. Excellent showers and no issue with hot water unlike some recent sites we have been on.
Site is 14k into zardar but easily parked in town when we drive in as we have a dog.
Nice sandy beach on the site and very friendly.

The Bableys, on this campsite in June 2017

Travelling party: Couple

The camp complex is huge and entirely enclosed by a perimeter fence, with a checkpoint about a kilometre from Reception. There is only one way in and out, via the checkpoint, which doesn't encourage exploration unless you're mobile (car, bicycle). The historic town of Nin is close enough to cycle to, which we did, and there's a daily bus from the campsite to Zadar at 10:00, which returns at 18:15. The set up here is pretty self sufficient with shops, several restaurants, a takeaway and plenty of activities, some of which incur additional costs, such as the inflatable waterpark on the beach. The newly renovated pool opened whilst we were here in early June but the kids area was still being worked on. We didn't use the pool as it was so busy and chose to walk along the beach a little way for a quiet spot. Pitches are good, mostly spacious and the majority with some shade. The sanitary facilities are excellent and the free wifi is good. The site seems well run and is probably best enjoyed by those looking for an all inclusive type of experience, or as a base for a few days, to explore the area with your own transport. Be aware that it does get very busy here, even early in the season.

Steve Baker, on this campsite in May 2017

Thanks heavens we didn't have to stay here. This is a huge holiday village and there was an incredible amount of building work going on. We took one look and fled.

T Price, on this campsite in September 2016

Travelling party: Seniors

This campsite is absolutely huge in scale, but actually very well planned and managed. Good sized pitches with some shade from tall pines and screening from scrubby bushes. The facilities are plentiful and of a very high standard indeed. Extraordinary choice of restaurants on site plus a decent supermarket. Good Wifi all over the site, although only one device per unit could log on at a time. A good comfortable place for weary travellers like us to stay for a couple of days to recuperate and visit Zadar (lovely city, not to be missed - make sure you experience the Sea Organ), but would also be a great place for young families wanting bucket and spade type holidays. Our only gripe, a minor one, was that not enough staff were on reception at busy times so long queues built up when checking in, paying, buying washing machine tokens, etc. Otherwise, it is difficult to fault this campsite.

James Thomas james Richard, on this campsite in June 2015

Travelling party: Couple

We stayed here for 5 days in june,the staff were friendly although the reception could do with being bigger and more staffed as its always busy.We were 2 rows from the beach on a large fully serviced pitch .There is some noise on this camp but its a holiday camp so expect it ....not to bad.
bus connection to Zadar at site,also if you do not wish to leave the site it has everything you could want.
Would recommend especially for families. ..lots of money has been spent on this huge site and they are improving it all the time.....we stayed in a motorhome but cabins are further away from beach.

Barsar, on this campsite in May 2015

Travelling party: Seniors

This is a huge site with over a 1000 pitches, lots of statics and apartments. We were there in the second half of May when the site was reasonably quiet. Once again it is one of the sites that is very popular with the German and Dutch. We were one of two English caravans.
The pitches are mainly on the large side big enough for a large caravan, awning and a couple of cars. Most seem to have their own water and drainage and there is a decent amount of shade provided by trees.
It is possible to feel overwhelmed on arrival as the site is more like a village than a campsite with about 6 restaurants and coffee bars, supermarket, bakery, souvenir shops and a wine shop but you soon get acclimatise. There is a large swimming pool and a huge sandy beach. Seems extremely well suited for children and although it is only May the animation team are here and keen to involve you in their various games. I am not sure I would like to be here in high season as I suspect it gets extremely lively and noisy in the evening. If you like that sort of thing you will love it here. We very much enjoyed the site during its quiet period. Whilst we were there was a reasonable amount of building work going, seeming to involve installing new mobile homes, a new toilet block and annual maintenance. I am sure this will all be complete by the end of June.
Happy to recommend.

Daphne Scott, on this campsite in September 2014

Travelling party: Couple

This campsite is excellent, the pitch we were on was flat, large and fully serviced, with a good level of shade. The toilets and showers are the best we have seen on a campsite and always clean. The cubicles were all good sizes with plenty of hangers and places to put your clothes etc and plenty of hot water.

The shops on site were well stocked with reasonable prices and the food in the restaurants was of a very good standard. We especially loved the ice cream!

The swimming pools were very good, having pools suitable for both children and adults and there were plenty of other sporting facilities. In addition there is a nice beach area with the water being clean and shallow enough to be safe for young children.

We found the staff helpful and informative about our location and surroundings.

We would certainly return to this campsite.

Andrew Osborn, on this campsite in June 2014

Travelling party: Couple

This is a very large site with every conceivable facility.
With 1500 pitches which when we visited in mid June was almost full.
Sanitary facilities in the block nearest to our pitch were exceptional, almost hotel standard.
Travelling as a couple, we soon decided this site was not for us as we found it too busy. However, this wasn't the sites fault but rather our choice of site. If you are travelling as a family or want facilities and an action packed holiday, this would be the place for you.

4 Sleepless nights thanks to bad management of this site who open the Disco for 'special groups' of revellers at 02:00AM and allow it to continue till 05:30 AM.

To be honest we were glad to see the back of this overpriced and overrated campsite that spoilt our vacation.

Japanese banks announce merger plan

July 1, 2009

, TOKYO, Jul 1 – Japanese lenders Shinsei and Aozora, which have been hit hard by the global financial crisis, announced on Wednesday a planned merger that would create the nation\’s sixth biggest commercial bank.

The two companies said in a joint statement that they had agreed to a merger of equals that is expected to take effect by October 2010.

They said that Norito Ikeda, a former banking executive who is now an advisor to management consultants A.T. Kearney K.K., would become president and chief executive of the combined group.

"The merger is expected to create an independent financial institution and a platform that will deliver long-term, stable and sustainable earnings, providing value to all stakeholders," the statement said.

The name of the enlarged bank has not yet been decided but the two lenders said that Shinsei would continue to exist while Aozora would be dissolved.

The banks, both backed by US investment funds, are struggling to find a niche in the face of a weak economy and financial markets as well as growing competition with larger rivals.

Shinsei, which is about one-third owned by US buyout firm JC Flowers & Co, has been hit hard by the global credit crunch and last year said it would sell its Tokyo headquarters for more than one billion dollars.

Aozora, which is roughly half owned by US investment fund Cerberus, has fallen deep into the red because of exposure to failed Wall Street giant Lehman Brothers, troubled auto finance giant GMAC and other bad investments.

The two lenders were bailed out with public money during Japan\’s 1990s banking crisis and later sold to private investors. Both remain part-owned by the Japanese government.

Portugal squeeze through

ZENICA, November 19 – A second-half strike by Raul Meireles was enough to break Bosnian hearts and send 2006 semi-finalists Portugal through to the World Cup finals on Wednesday.RAUL_MEIRELES_The Portuguese, once again without the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, had won a hard-fought first leg 1-0 courtesy of a close-range header by Bruno Alves on Saturday and again had to be on their mettle before Meireles’ effort ensured their place at next summer’s showpiece in South Africa.

Despite enjoying the lion’s share of possession in the opening period on a heavy pitch the Boisnians failed to carve out any clear chances as the Portuguese sat back hoping to catch their hosts on the counter in their European zone play-off second leg.

Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz, whose team limped through the first half of their qualifying programme prior to a late rally, had insisted his team plays better away than at home.

And ten minutes after the restart Meireles ensured there would be no shredded nerves for the visitors as he took a pass from Manchester United star Nani and slipped a low, precise shot past Kenan Hasagic in the Bosnian goal.

"These marathons are only over after the final whistle and I want to thank my players for showing such spirit," said a relieved Queiroz afterwards.

Meireles saluted the team’s attitude.

"Our play and our attitude were the most important things out there. The pitch was cutting up badly and it was not always possible to play well – but we won, we are through and we are happy. We always believed in ourselves," Meireles insisted.

Bosnian dangerman Edin Dzeko, whose goals had been instrumental in taking his country this far, was getting little change out of the Portuguese defence and was chiefly in evidence following the goal for getting himself booked.

Minutes earlier Nani himself had come close to breaking the deadlock at the Bilino Polje Stadium but Hasagic blocked well with his legs.

Zlatan Muslimovic tried valiantly to rouse the Bosnians, who enjoyed a late run to land runners-up spot in Spain’s group, edging out Turkey and Belgium, but his probing runs produced no end product.

Portugal sent Edinho on for Nani with 18 minutes remaining after Meireles had first sent an effort skidding just wide before Vedad Ibisevic appealed in vain for a penalty at the other end after tangling with Paulo Ferreira.

Almost immediately, the hosts then found themselves down to ten men as midfielder Sejad Salihovic was dismissed.

The red card brought fury on the terraces and the match briefly came to a halt with one of the linesmen appearing to have been struck by an object thrown from the crowd.

Veteran coach Miroslav Blazevic, who memorably led neighbouring Croatia to third place in the 1998 finals, urged his men on for a final push, Miralem Pjanic scuffing a final chance, but the Portuguese, who introduced Deco for Simao for the closing 11 minutes, held firm.

Important Information Regarding the Library Renovation

The new Library Learning Commons will be a state-of-the-art learning center where students can engage with each other and support staff and find space for individual or group study.  The transformation of the library into a learning commons will begin with the renovation of the lower floor starting May 16, 2018 and continuing through the Fall.  We are doing our best to keep the library’s resources accessible for the Carroll community during the renovation, and we ask for your patience during this period.

  • Carroll students, faculty, and staff can place requests for books using Saints Search.  The library staff will retrieve the books from storage and place them on the hold shelf at the circulation desk.  Patrons will receive an email when items are ready for pick-up.  We hope to retrieve books once a day, Monday-Friday, allowing us to deliver requested items the next business day (with the exception of weekends).  Only the material downstairs is affected by the construction this summer and fall. You will not need to request DVDs, reference material, or print periodicals.  Please click here to see detailed instructions on how to place a request for a book.
  • The construction company will be placing a door at the base of the stairs to limit noise and dust, but the upper floor is still likely to be noisy and a little dusty.  Air conditioning in the building will be offline for a portion of the summer, but we don’t know the exact time frame.
  • All downstairs areas in the library, including study rooms, will be inaccessible.

Bruce Springsteen, Seth Meyers headline veterans fundraiser

Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart, Jim Gaffigan and Seth Meyers are headlining this year's Stand Up for Heroes fundraiser, which benefits injured veterans and their families.

Jimmy Carr and Eric Church are also on the bill for the Nov. 5 comedy event at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Stand Up for Heroes was first held in 2007. The event produced by the New York Comedy Festival is the brainchild of festival founders Caroline Hirsch, Andrew Fox and ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff, who was nearly killed during a 2006 attack in Iraq while embedded with U.S. troops. He calls the event a chance to "put aside our differences" to "honor those who have and continue to sacrifice so much."

Tickets go on sale Thursday at noon Eastern.

Rec Sports Spotlight: MD Cardinals 12-U master MABA regular season

Rec Spotlight

The Maryland Cardinals 12-under baseball team knows how to win regular season games. Now it has to figure out how to win postseason tournaments.

The Cardinals, a travel team affiliated with Winfield Baseball, crushed the Mid-Atlantic Baseball Association's Piedmont Division this year. They were 23-0 in the regular season.

Unfortunately for the Cardinals, coach Jeff Allen and his assistants Travis Winkles and Dan Trump, their mastery didn’t carry over into the postseason. They lost two of three games and were knocked out of the MABA postseason affair.

Most of the team has been together for three years; in fact all 12 players from 2017 were back this season. The Cardinals were fourth in 2017, and Allen felt they’d do well this time around.

He decided to keep his team in the less competitive Piedmont Division rather than move it up to the Atlantic.

“I kept them down so they could get extra work in different positions. They wouldn’t have gotten that in the higher division,” Allen said.

He, like some other coaches, believes that youngsters shouldn’t get locked into a position too early in their baseball careers. They should have the chance to try various positions to see where they’re best suited. And if they learn to play more than one spot well, all the better.

That versatility gives thedm a better chance to get playing time once they hit high school.

Their regular season, of course, was a great one. They dominated the statistics just as they did the won-lost column and the standings. The Cardinals scored 297 runs, over 70 more than the Lions who scored the second highest number of runs. They allowed only 66 runs, 35 less than the second-most stingy team, the third place Towsontowne T-Birds.

The Cards were rarely tested.

Until their final doubleheader when they beat the T-Birds 3-2 and 4-1 on June 10, the closest anybody ever got to them in the final score was six runs. And only three games were even that close.

They won 13 games by double-digit margins and notched five shutouts.

It starts with pitching, and the Cardinals had, what you might call, “deep depth,” as legendary Orioles manager Earl Weaver used to say.

Nine of the 12 kids pitched at one time or another.

A primary hurler was Parker Allen, who was also third on the team with 36 RBIs. Other key pitchers included ERA leaders Kevin Hyde (1.50) and Jeremy Frattali (2.80), along with strikeout leaders Ryan Von Stein (32), Jake Winkles (25) and Tye Pruitt (22).

The 12 players, most of whom hail from the Sykesville-Eldersburg area, were a versatile lot, and they could play multiple positions well. The pitchers were particularly flexible.

Allen played shortstop as did mound partner Winkles. Spencer Trump, Frattali and Winkles played second base. Pruitt played third as did infielder Andrew Nelson and Charlie Carter who also played the outfield.

When he wasn’t pitching, Hyde caught as did Trump, Nelson and Spencer Tripp. At his two positions,Trump had the team’s best fielding average with a .960. Nelson was second with .940.

Hyde was also a force with the bat, leading the team in homers and RBIs (five and 44); he was third in batting (.526).

Trump’s .537 average led the team.

VanStein played center field and Chase Speiden also was an outfielder. So was Winkles who “played all over the place,” Allen said.

Dominic Marsico played first base and saved a lot of infielders from throwing errors with his glove work.He was also second in average (.529), homers (three), and RBIs (39).

Besides good pitching and hitting, the Cardinals also had some base stealing threats.

Winkles led them with 30 steals, and Carter was second with 21. Neither was caught stealing all year.

The Cardinals also played some tournaments, but tournaments were not their thing for the most part.

They did go 3-1 in June’s Finksburg Summer Bash, losing in the championship game. However they were 0-2 in May’s Walk the Plank 12-U tourney in Olney.

Because of their outstanding record, the league invited the Cardinals play in the Atlantic Division’s more competitive postseason tournament instead of the Piedmont.

Allen gladly accepted, saying, “it was a privilege to be invited to play in the Atlantic Division.”

They started well in the Atlantic’s mid-June 12-under championships.

Allen threw a 2-0, six-inning, three-hit shutout in game one. However the team lost 13-5 in the second game.

The Cards lost the tough third contest 7-6 to Western Howard County, knocking them out of the double-elimination affair.

“That was a game that could have gone either way, but we made too many mistakes,” Allen said.

However, their overall record including tournaments was 27-5.

They batted .422 as a team and scored 392 runs, averaging more than 12 runs per game.

But while he recalled that the kids were down for awhile after the championship tournament, they recovered quickly. They are practicing for an upcoming tournament in Cooperstown that will match them against some of the best teams in the country.

Allen said his team has worked hard to raise money for the trip, and it has held a number of fundraisers.

Next year, they move up to MABA’s 13-under age bracket. And this time they plan to play in the Atlantic, the stronger of the two divisions.

“I think they are ready for it, and they want to move up,” Allen said. “That’s what they want to do, and we’re doing it. … They are a special team.”

Louise Dunn

Football Hong Kong

Originally from Scotland where she coached gymnastics to children, Louise moved to Guernsey, Channel Islands. As a way to improve her own health, strength and ultimately her confidence, she delved into strength training methods, clinical nutrition, fundamentals of healthy movement and began to understand more about the mind-body connection. It became apparent just how essential it was to address the mind AND body in order to thrive as that's where the real strength lies. Louise provides clients with the tools that allow them to take control of their health (mind and body) and incorporate strategies into their daily lives. The key is to work with your body, not against it, push yourself out of your comfort zone and have fun whilst doing so! Seeing people surpass milestones and overcome perceived barriers are what fuels her passion for coaching. By promoting strength, physically, mentally and emotionally, we are empowered to reach our goals. Driven to develop her knowledge as a coach and further build her career, she craved a new environment. Hong Kong, being a city that is so transient, rich in culture and diverse, was where she made her move.

What drives you?

Knowing that everyone has the ability to be healthier and stronger, mentally, physically and emotionally. Helping them to unlock that and thrive in their lives, there is no better feeling!

What's next in training?

A drive towards more practice involving self-awareness, health and the sustainable feel good factor.

What makes you happy?

Spending quality time with my family and friends, a nice meal and lots of laughs!

How do you create balance in your life?

By setting priorities and intentions is what comes first and foremost. Recognising what is important and needed for me to be happy and healthy. Ensuring I have a work-life balance, some self care, time with friends and family and getting outdoors. Self-awareness is key to this, but my friends and I keep each other in check too.

What’s one piece of kit you could not live without?

A foam roller. It’s not only a personal masseuse, getting it to those tight areas, it is also a great tool to use for breathing exercises and relaxation.

What are your goals for the future?

To see the world with family and friends and be part of a world-wide movement through coaching, empowering people to be the best they can be and live a life with abundance!
