<p>The story is based on the lives of 12th grade students at the DeNobly High School and their adventures, their fears and hopes, their relationships and interactions. Besides that the story also focuses on issues pertinent for the younger generation such as dating, careers, health, exams, causes in a light-hearted manner and many social activities.</p>
<p>The first season of the series more focused on the stars where they were in school flitting through life with joys and sorrows of life as students. But the second season focuses on students lives on campus. Each episode of the series takes you through the year spent by an exciting bunch of teenagers - a year during which they fall in love, and suffer heart-breaks, have problems with their teachers and parents, experience pressures at exam time and so on. Their trials and tribulations are captured poignantly and with rare sensitivity.</p>
<p>The way the teenagers live their lives definetly reminds one thier school and college days,the fun and excitement and the way they helped each other through their problems and how they had thier crushes on teachers. Every character here was a special one and that is what was very good about this show as like others it did not revolve around two or three characters. Here each and every character was given importance.</p>
<p>The first season released in 1996 that showed us about the school life was an instant hit and in no time became a cult show loved by most of the youth and yonger generation then.As a result to this a second season was released in 1999 which showed us about the college life although it did not really live up to its expectations specially after the first season and it was stopped early with no more seasons to it.</p>
<p>There have been quite a few television series after this which has foccused on the younger generation but this one definetly has been one the best.<a href="http://shishircyb.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/hiphiphurray.jpg"></a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>America?</strong></p>
<p>Since the financial cricis startet in America many have been talking about wether one of the concequences of this cricis will be that America will loose its position in the world as the supreme financial superpower. One of these people is the German foreign minister, who criticises the leaders of the US for having lead a disaterous financial politic.<!--more read more about who the next superior economy will be here--></p>
<p><strong>Eastern Europe?</strong></p>
<p>There is no question that Eastern Europe also will be fleurting with the idea of having a great deal of influence on the world economy. As this part of the world is getting out of the ruins of the communist regime that terrored this area for decades, I am quite sure that it will be an important player. However I doubt that it will be the new supreme financial superpower.</p>
<p><strong>Asia</strong></p>
<p>This is on<strong> </strong>the other hand where I would put my money if betting about this question. Questions believe that China in 17 years will have an economy comparable to the present in the US. In Asia in general the countries have been leading very cautious financial politics after the financial cricis in that part of the world i the 80'ties.</p>

<p>Hace ya algunos años solía pasar los sábados por la tarde en este pueblo, Pollensa. En realidad iba a casa de mi cuñado, de profesión pintor y exprofesor de instituto. Siempre sentí en este pueblo una energía muy especial, algo así como de libertad y creatividad, de hecho tienen su residencia muchos pintores de la isla.<br />
Paseo por la plaza y me siento a tomar un té con Pep Vila, el director del hotel Ca'l Lloro. Me habla del pueblo y de como a pesar del transcurso del tiempo hay cosas que permanecen sin demasiados cambios.<br />
Si pasaís por Pollensa no dejeís de entrar en esta fantástico lugar, pollensa, puede ser vuestro lugar de hospedaje, y Ca'l Lloro, vuestro hotel.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Berikut ini adalah trick2 simple untuk mempercepat windows. efektifitas trik2 ini mungkin berbeda2, tip2 berikut mungkin bisa membuat komputer anda tidak stabil. maka. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Juga jangan lupa lakukan backup registry sebelum tweaking.<br />
Quote:<br />
Cara Back up registry<br />
start&#62;run&#62;regedit&#62;file&#62;export<br />
kasih nama backup .reg anda klik ok<br />
done </p>
<p>1. Mendisable Service Windows yg tidak diperlukan.<br />
Karena windows ditujukan untuk berbagai user dan tugas, maka windows membuat service yg sebenarnya tidak tidak terlalu diperlukan. Service2 berikut ini seringkali memakan resouce yg tidak sedikit, dengan mendisable (me-non-aktif-kan) maka komputer kita bisa mendapatkan sedikit boost karenanya.<br />
Quote:<br />
* Alerter<br />
* Clipbook<br />
* Computer Browser<br />
* Distributed Link Tracking Client<br />
* Fast User Switching<br />
* Help and Support - (Jika anda mengunakan windows help, maka langkah ini diskip aja)<br />
* Human Interface Access Devices<br />
* Indexing Service<br />
* IPSEC Services<br />
* Messenger<br />
* Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing<br />
* Portable Media Serial Number<br />
* Remote Desktop Help Session Manager<br />
* Remote Procedure Call Locator<br />
* Remote Registry<br />
* Remote Registry Service<br />
* Secondary Logon<br />
* Routing &#38; Remote Access<br />
* Server<br />
* Telnet<br />
* TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper<br />
* Upload Manager<br />
* Universal Plug and Play Device Host<br />
* Wireless Zero Configuration -(Jangan didisable jika anda mengunakan Wireless)<br />
* Workstation </p>
<p>Cara mendisable service diatas:</p>
<p>1. Klik start&#62;Run&#62;ketik "services.msc"<br />
2. Dobel klik service yg hendak diubah<br />
3. Ubah startup type menjadi 'Disable"</p>
<p>2. Matikan System restore<br />
System restore bisa bermanfaat jika komputer bermasalah, akan tetapi semua restore point yg disimpan bisa memakan ruangan yg cukup besar di harddisk. System restore membebani karena selalu memonitor sistem, dengan mendisable system restore maka sebagian resorce bisa dialokasikan untuk hal yg lain.</p>
<p>1. Buka Control Panel<br />
2. Klik Performance and Maintenance<br />
3. Klik System<br />
4. Klik System Restore tab<br />
5. Klik 'Turn off System Restore on All Drives'<br />
6. Klik 'Ok'</p>
<p>3. Defrag Pagefile<br />
Keeping your pagefile defragmented can provide a major performance boost. One of the best ways of doing this is to creat a separate partition on your hard drive just for your page file, so that it doesn't get impacted by normal disk usage. Another way of keeping your pagefile defragmented is to run PageDefrag. This cool little app can be used to defrag your pagefile, and can also be set to defrag the pagefile everytime your PC starts. To install:</p>
<p>1. Download and Run PageDefrag,<br />
2. kasih centang pada "Defrag at next Reboot",<br />
3. Klik OK<br />
4. Reboot</p>
<p>4. Mempercepat akses Folder - dengan mendisable Last Access Update.</p>
<p>Jika anda memiliki banyak folder dan subdirectories, maka akses ke Direktory2 Windows XP terasa sangat berat dan seringkali cuman membuang waktu. Dengan mengupdate time stamp di registry, yaitu last access update untuk semua sub directory. Proceed with caution: Langkah berikut bukan untuk N00bie  </p>
<p>1. Start&#62;Run&#62;regedit<br />
2. "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\FileSystem"<br />
3. Klik kanan di bagian yg kan (cari area yg kosong), lalu pilih 'DWORD Value'<br />
4. Bikin DWORD Value dengan nama 'NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate'<br />
5. Klik kanan pada value baru terus pilih 'Modify'<br />
6. Ubah data menjadi '1'<br />
7. Klik 'OK'</p>
<p>5. Me-non-aktifkan Microsoft System Sounds<br />
Secara default MS sound systems membuat komputer berbunyi/bersuara ketika booting awal, shutdown, error, dll. Skenario suara windows jelas2 membuat komputer lebih lambat (terutama dalam waktu shutdown dan booting awal), untuk me-non-aktifkan silahkan ikuti langkah berikut:<br />
1. Buka Control Panel<br />
2. Klik Sounds and Audio Devices<br />
3. Klik tab Sounds<br />
4. Pilih "No Sounds" dari Sound Scheme<br />
5. Klik "No"<br />
7. Klik "Apply"<br />
8. Klik "OK"</p>
<p>6. Mempercepat waktu Boot<br />
Fitur yg lumayan asik dari Windows XP adalah kemampuan untuk mendefrag ketika ada dalam proses booting. Boot Defrag pada prinsip menata file2 yg relevan dengan booting secara berurutan. Secara default fitur ini telah diaktifkan pada beberapa Build Windows, tapi beberapa build windows tidak, ada baiknya kalo kita cross check terhadap fiotur yg satu ini.<br />
1. Start Menu&#62;Run<br />
2. Regedit<br />
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction<br />
4. Cari "Enable" dibagian kanan regedit<br />
5. Klik "Modify"<br />
6. Pilih "Y to enable"<br />
7. Reboot</p>
<p>Tambahan:<br />
Bootvis juga bisa dicoba, untuk memangkas waktu boot dengan manufer yg manis.</p>
<p>7. Mempercepat Performa Swapfile<br />
Jika anda memiliki ram lebih besar dari 256MB bisa dibilang tweaking yg ini akan membuat sistem anda berjalan lebih cepat. Tweaking ini pada dasarnya PC kita mengunakan setiap byte dari memori fisik yg terpasang di komputer kita, SEBELUM mengunakan swap file.<br />
1. Start&#62;Run<br />
2. "msconfig.exe"&#62;ok<br />
3. Klik tab System.ini<br />
4. Klik tanda plus pada tab 386enh<br />
5. Klik kotak new kemudian ketik "ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1"<br />
6. Klik OK<br />
7. Restart</p>
<p>8. Mempercepat Loading Windows Menu<br />
Tweak ini adalah tweaking fav saya, karena akan komputer kita terasa lebih cepat. Tweaking ini membuang waktu delay ketika kita mengklik menu dan windows XP menampakkan Menu.<br />
1. Start&#62;Run<br />
2. Regedit&#62;Ok<br />
3. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\"<br />
4. Pilih/Sorot "MenuShowDelay"<br />
5. Klik kanan dan pilih "Modify'<br />
6. Ketik angka "100"<br />
Angka 50-150 adalah kisaran yg baik, bisa disesuaikan dengan Mood anda  </p>
<p>9. Mempercepat Loading Program.<br />
Tweaking ini bisa berjalan untuk sebagian besar program. Jika program tidak mau loading seperti yg diharapkan, silahkan aja dikembalikan ke setting semula.<br />
1. Klik kanan pada icon/shortcut yg berkaitan dengan program.<br />
2. properties<br />
3. Pada kotak 'target', tambahkan ' /prefetch:1' diakhir kalimat.<br />
4. Klik "Ok"<br />
gampang kan, Program akan loading lebih cepat.</p>
<p>10. Mempercepat Shutdown Windows XP.<br />
Tweaking ini mengurangi waktu tunggu secara otomatis ketika windows sudah menerima instruksi untuk shutdown.<br />
1. Start&#62;Run<br />
2. 'Regedit'&#62;OK<br />
3. 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\'<br />
4. Sorot 'WaitToKillAppTimeout'<br />
5. Klik kanan dan pilih modify<br />
6. Ubah value menjadi '1000'<br />
7. Klik 'OK'<br />
8. Sorot 'HungAppTimeout'<br />
9. Klik kanan dan pilih modify<br />
10. Ubah value menjadi '1000'<br />
11. Klik 'OK'<br />
12. 'HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop' sorot WaitToKillAppTimeout'<br />
13. Klik kanan dan pilih modify<br />
15. Ubah value ke '1000'<br />
16. Klik 'OK'<br />
17. 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\' sorot 'WaitToKillServiceTimeout'<br />
19. Klik kanan dan pilih modify<br />
20. Ubah value menjadi '1000'<br />
21. Klik 'OK'</p>
<p>EDIT: 21 Mei 2006<br />
Quote:<br />
Tip2 berikut ini berkaitan dengan bagaimana Windows "dibebaskan" dari beban2 yg mengakibatkan sistem jadi lambat dan kurang responsif</p>
<p>Membersihkan Prefetch File untuk meningkatkan Performa Windows.<br />
Fitur ini cukup efisien dalam meningkatkan agresifitas windows tapi tidak perlu mengutak-utik registry. Yg diperlukan adalah mendelete isi directory/folder prefetch. Prefetch adalah directory yg berisi link2 yg kadaluarsa. Link2 yg semakin menumpuk bisa memperlambat komputer anda secara signifikan. Directory prefetch ada di c:windows/prefetch, membersihkan prefetch 2-3 minggu sekali cukuplah untuk pemakaian standar.</p>
<p>Mendisable Prefetch untuk Sistem dengan memory yg kecil (256MB kebawah)<br />
Jika sistem anda cuman 128MB. Windows prefetch akan melumpuhkan sistem anda karena prefetch berusaha nge-load, link2 lama dengan tujuan mempercepat komputer, tapi prefetch itu spt pedang mata dua, karena terlalu banyak yg di load justru komputer bukannya tambah cepat, tapi malahan jadi lambat. Karena sebagian besar memori idle disedot untuk hal.</p>
<p>Cara mendisable Prefetch<br />
1. start&#62;run&#62;regedit<br />
2. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher];<br />
3. Dobel klik isi 0 untuk menDisable.<br />
4. reboot.</p>
<p>Booting lebih cepat dengan mengurangi beban Font.<br />
Setiap kali windows booting selalu melakukan loading font2 yg terdaftar di windows. Jika anda bukan desainer grafik, tentu saja ngggak semua font itu digunakan. Saran saya adalah memindahkan font2 di folder lain.<br />
1. Bikin foler baru<br />
2. Masuk ke "Fonts" di Control Panel.<br />
3. Sorot group font yg akan di pindah.<br />
4. Pindahkan ke folder yg baru, atau untuk mudahnya klik kanan lalu pindahkan ke My Documents.<br />
5. Reboot, jika anda membutuhkan font yg telah dipindahkan tadi, caranya copy dan paste ke directory font yg lama. </p>
<p>Mempercepat dengan mensetting ulang Prefetcher.<br />
Fitur ini cukup unik di Windows XP, dan jika dilakukan dengan benar hasilnya terasa sangat jozzzz, yg hendak kita lakukan adalah mensetting ulang folder cache yg ada di windows kita.<br />
1. start&#62;run&#62;regedit<br />
2. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher]<br />
3. ada 3 pilihan yaitu 0-Disable, 1-App launch prefetch, 2-Boot Prefetch, 3-Both ("3" adalah yg direkomendasikan).<br />
4. reboot.<br />
Setting ulang ini akan mengurangi waktu booting dan waktu yg diperlukan untuk loading program.</p>
<p>Tweaking memory.<br />
Nggak cuman overclock di BIOS yg bisa mempercepat laju komputer  , tapi tweaking ini nggak boleh dilewatkan. Tweaking ini disarankan bagi mereka yg memiliki kapasitas memory sebesar 512MB keatas.<br />
1. start&#62;run&#62;regedit<br />
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management<br />
1.DisablePagingExecutive -dobel klik masukan desimal 1 -<br />
point ini mengaakibatkan windows XP menyimpan data di memory, ketimbang mengakses page file di harddisk.<br />
2.LargeSystemCache -dobel klik masukan desimal 1- - tweak ini<br />
mengijinkan kernel windows jalan di memory, bener2 jozz gandhoz dan mak nyozzz kalo dilakukan dengan bener.  so be careful. </p>

Keeping your pagefile defragmented can provide a major performance boost. One of the best ways of doing this is to creat a separate partition on your hard drive just for your page file, so that it doesn’t get impacted by normal disk usage. Another way of keeping your pagefile defragmented is to run PageDefrag. This cool little app can be used to defrag your pagefile, and can also be set to defrag the pagefile everytime your PC starts. To install:<br />
1. Download and Run PageDefrag,<br />
2. kasih centang pada “Defrag at next Reboot”,<br />
3. Klik OK<br />
4. Reboot<br />
Mempercepat akses Folder - dengan mendisable Last Access Update.<br />
Jika anda memiliki banyak folder dan subdirectories, maka akses ke Direktory2 Windows XP terasa sangat berat dan seringkali cuman membuang waktu. Dengan mengupdate time stamp di registry, yaitu last access update untuk semua sub directory. Proceed with caution: Langkah berikut bukan untuk N00bie<br />
1. Start&#62;Run&#62;regedit<br />
2. “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\FileSystem”<br />
3. Klik kanan di bagian yg kan (cari area yg kosong), lalu pilih ‘DWORD Value’<br />
4. Bikin DWORD Value dengan nama ‘NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate’<br />
5. Klik kanan pada value baru terus pilih ‘Modify’<br />
6. Ubah data menjadi ‘1′<br />
7. Klik ‘OK’<br />
Me-non-aktifkan Microsoft System Sounds<br />
Secara default MS sound systems membuat komputer berbunyi/bersuara ketika booting awal, shutdown, error, dll. Skenario suara windows jelas2 membuat komputer lebih lambat (terutama dalam waktu shutdown dan booting awal), untuk me-non-aktifkan silahkan ikuti langkah berikut:<br />
1. Buka Control Panel<br />
2. Klik Sounds and Audio Devices<br />
3. Klik tab Sounds<br />
4. Pilih “No Sounds” dari Sound Scheme<br />
5. Klik “No”<br />
7. Klik “Apply”<br />
8. Klik “OK”<br />
Mempercepat waktu Boot<br />
Fitur yg lumayan asik dari Windows XP adalah kemampuan untuk mendefrag ketika ada dalam proses booting. Boot Defrag pada prinsip menata file2 yg relevan dengan booting secara berurutan. Secara default fitur ini telah diaktifkan pada beberapa Build Windows, tapi beberapa build windows tidak, ada baiknya kalo kita cross check terhadap fiotur yg satu ini.<br />
1. Start Menu&#62;Run<br />
2. Regedit<br />
3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOpt imizeFunction<br />
4. Cari “Enable” dibagian kanan regedit<br />
5. Klik “Modify”<br />
6. Pilih “Y to enable”<br />
7. Reboot<br />
Tambahan:<br />
Bootvis juga bisa dicoba, untuk memangkas waktu boot dengan manufer yg manis.<br />
Mempercepat Performa Swapfile<br />
Jika anda memiliki ram lebih besar dari 256MB bisa dibilang tweaking yg ini akan membuat sistem anda berjalan lebih cepat. Tweaking ini pada dasarnya PC kita mengunakan setiap byte dari memori fisik yg terpasang di komputer kita, SEBELUM mengunakan swap file.<br />
1. Start&#62;Run<br />
2. “msconfig.exe”&#62;ok<br />
3. Klik tab System.ini<br />
4. Klik tanda plus pada tab 386enh<br />
5. Klik kotak new kemudian ketik “ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1″<br />
6. Klik OK<br />
7. Restart<br />
Mempercepat Loading Windows Menu<br />
Tweak ini adalah tweaking fav saya, karena akan komputer kita terasa lebih cepat. Tweaking ini membuang waktu delay ketika kita mengklik menu dan windows XP menampakkan Menu.<br />
1. Start&#62;Run<br />
2. Regedit&#62;Ok<br />
3. “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\”<br />
4. Pilih/Sorot “MenuShowDelay”<br />
5. Klik kanan dan pilih “Modify’<br />
6. Ketik angka “100″<br />
Angka 50-150 adalah kisaran yg baik, bisa disesuaikan dengan Mood anda<br />
Mempercepat Shutdown Windows XP.<br />
Tweaking ini mengurangi waktu tunggu secara otomatis ketika windows sudah menerima instruksi untuk shutdown.<br />
1. Start&#62;Run<br />
2. ‘Regedit’&#62;OK<br />
3. ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\’<br />
4. Sorot ‘WaitToKillAppTimeout’<br />
5. Klik kanan dan pilih modify<br />
6. Ubah value menjadi ‘1000′<br />
7. Klik ‘OK’<br />
8. Sorot ‘HungAppTimeout’<br />
9. Klik kanan dan pilih modify<br />
10. Ubah value menjadi ‘1000′<br />
11. Klik ‘OK’<br />
12. ‘HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop’ sorot WaitToKillAppTimeout’<br />
13. Klik kanan dan pilih modify<br />
15. Ubah value ke ‘1000′<br />
16. Klik ‘OK’<br />
17. ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\’ sorot ‘WaitToKillServiceTimeout’<br />
19. Klik kanan dan pilih modify<br />
20. Ubah value menjadi ‘1000′<br />
21. Klik ‘OK’<br />
Mengosongkan prefetch<br />
caranya buka kotak dialog RUN, kemudian ketik 'prefetch' (tanpa single quote), dan enter. Hapus semua file yg tampil. Prefetch berguna untuk menyimpan sisa shortcut2 dari aplikasi yang telah dibuka (ekstensi .pf).<br />
Mengosongkann temporary<br />
Caranya buka kotak dialog RUN, kemudian ketik '%temp%' (tanpa single quote), dan enter. Hapus semua file yg tampil. Temp berfungsi untuk menyimpan file2 temporary dari aplikasi yang telah kita gunakan.</p>

Déjame que te diga primero que esos ojos pueden volver loco a cualquiera]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="date-header">sábado, agosto 23, 2008</h2>
<div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template"><a name="6885823741098895331"></a></p>
<div class="post-body entry-content"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H6-aP-DXIf4/SLAoCYtZ0sI/AAAAAAAAAAs/s39ZR-Da4Co/s1600-h/los+ojos+de+marta+5.jpg"><img style="float:left;cursor:hand;margin:0 10px 10px 0;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_H6-aP-DXIf4/SLAoCYtZ0sI/AAAAAAAAAAs/s39ZR-Da4Co/s320/los+ojos+de+marta+5.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></p>
<div>Déjame que te diga primero que esos ojos pueden volver loco a cualquiera, aunque creo que en el fondo lo sabes. Y pensaba que podrías echarme un cable con aquello de mantener la apariencia cuando te has quedado tocado, y hundido. Porque como bien debes saber a estas alturas, a cualquiera de mi tipo lo que más le importa, es lo que menos importa, la apariencia.</p>
<p>Y en esto andaba yo pensando cuando recibí tu carta esta mañana, si quiera sin entender muy bien lo que decías en el encabezamiento. Es lo que tiene aquello de estar aturdido. Me la tragué por los ojos, a la par que me inyectaba el café que me estaba tomando, ya que debía volver corriendo al trabajo.</p>
<p>Y esta noche al regresar al pasillo, oscuro e infinito, donde comenzó nuestro viaje he comprendido el objetivo de la misiva que estaba desnuda y tiritando, la pobre. Y me acordé de repente que tuvieron que pasar algunos años desde entonces, para comprender que no era a mí a quien odiabas tanto.</p>
<p>Cómo aquellas veces que nos hemos vuelto a ver, en las esquinas de nuestra vida, se han quedado fijadas al camino como recodos agradables e infinitos, como si nunca te hubieses vuelto a ir. Pero a mi me gusta verte en el monte, conmigo, y con quien tú quieras.</p>
<p>Muchas gracias, Marta, por haberme hecho volver y por querer quedarme.</p>
<p>Yo también, te reconocería en cualquier esquina.</p>
<p>Besos,</p>
<p>Yo</p>
<p>Pd.: ¿Y de verdad sigues creyendo que la lógica lo explica todo, después de pensar que mi amiga vegetariana, que dice que ella la carne solo la chupa, iba por el monte lamiendo vacas?</p></div>

<description><![CDATA[O rádio é meu companheiro de todos os dias na volta, quase sempre caótica, pra casa, quando enfre]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">O rádio é meu companheiro de todos os dias na volta, quase sempre caótica, pra casa, quando enfrento 42km de trânsito, muitos deles na Marginal do Rio Pinheiros, que percorro desde a saída da Castelo Branco até o seu final, no cruzamento com a Av. Interlagos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">É fato que em época de eleições, eu o deixo desligado. Mas ele está lá esperando para me trazer o que a partir de hoje será mais do que um alento em meio ao caos de São Paulo. Será minha fonte de conteúdo para o blog: a música!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quantas vezes não me peguei tentando entender o que algumas composições tinham a dizer? Quantas vezes não cante beeeem alto e cheia de sentimento aquela estrofe que parecia doer tanto em quem cantava, ou parecia ainda uma explosão de felicidade? E mais. Quantas vezes me peguei pensando em como tal fato (relatado na música) tinha coerência ou não, era real ou não, havia um personagem ou não? Tantas músicas já me serviram de tema para longas (no mínimo 1h30, que é o tempo que levo para chegar em casa) reflexões.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Enfim. O <span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>Vitrola na Caixola</strong> </span>é o espaço que eu dedicarei para "verbalizar" tudo isso.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Peço licença aos compositores e cantores para então usar os seus produtos como matéria prima dos meus saudáveis devaneios.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ada satu cerita tentang perjalanan mudik dari salah seorang sepupuku. Sebetulnya kejadian ini berlangsung setahun yang lalu, namun pada saat mudik lebaran saya jadi ingat ceritanya.</p>
<p>Saat itu sepupu saya akan mudik ke Pekalongan dengan menggunakan kereta api kelas bisnis, yaitu Fajar Utama jurusan Jakarta-Semarang. Kereta super penuh, persis seperti yang kita lihat di televisi, bahkan sampai ada yang menutup lobang toilet dengan kardus untuk bisa sekedar duduk. Alhamdulillah saudara saya dapat tempat duduk, yang kalo di kereta posisinya dua bangku yang muat 2 orang saling berhadapan, jadi ada 4 orang. Di tengah yang buat jalan sudah penuh sesak orang yang duduk maupun berdiri.</p>
<p>Saat sudah sampai di Cirebon, saudara saya terbangun karena mencium bau yang sangat menyengat dan sangat tidak enak, yaitu bau (mohon maaf) kotoran manusia. Dan ternyata.......Naudzubillah orang yang duduk di sebelah saudara saya ternyata lagi buang hajat dan sudah selesai, sedang dibungkus dalam kantong plastik. Saudara saya marah-marah dan memaki orang tersebut. Orang tersebut hanya bisa mengucapkan maaf...Saudara saya sangat heran ...kok bisa dia melakukan hal tersebut. Memang di kursi tersebut semua laki-laki dan masih kerabat si "biang kerok" tadi, tapi orang yang berdiri khan sangat banyak.... Sejak kejadian tersebut saudara saya lebih memilih mudik menggunakan sepeda motor. Pembaca ada yang pernah mengalami hal yang sama, atau bahkan lebih fatal ??</p>

<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">HA NOI — Massive sell-offs deepened share prices yesterday amid continuing uncertainty on world financial markets.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The VN-Index dropped down 18.43 points or 4.08 per cent to close at 433.71. Liquidity remained low, as trading volume increased slightly to 13.95 million shares for a total value of nearly VND490 billion (US$29.7 million).</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Massive sales were seen for almost all codes, causing 147 codes to lose value on the HCM City Stock Exchange. The majority of stocks hit the floor, including major stocks such as Binh Dinh Minerals (BMC), Saigon Securities Inc (SSI) and the Corporation for Financing and Promoting Technology (FPT).</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Only 10 codes were gainers and seven remained unchanged.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Sacombank (STB) was the most active for the day with 2.5 million shared traded, followed by Phu My Fertilisers (DPM) with about 841,000 shares and Hoa Phat Group with 705,000 units.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Foreign investors yesterday bought 1.78 million shares and unloaded 1.5 million units, with a net purchase value of VND6.64 billion ($402,000).</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The Ha Noi Securities Trading Centre HASTC-Index slid 8.64 points or 5.68 per cent to end at 143.38. About 8.27 million shares changed hands with a total revenue of more than VND274 billion ($16.6 million).</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) showed the most action on the northern bourse with orders for nearly 1 million shares. ACB was followed by Kim Long Securities (KLS) and Petroleum Technical Services Corp (PVS) with about 770,000 shares traded each.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said late last week that the US financial crisis had not had a direct impact on the domestic economy, but that it had indirectly influenced finance, currency, commerce, services and foreign investment.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The global recession would lower the indirect investment flow into the local exchange as disbursement of international institutions might become sluggish, said Chairman of the State Securities Commission Vu Bang.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"The advantage is that the domestic economy has experienced difficulties for the past months, and the Government’s measures have now taken effect," Bang said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"Improving macro-level factors such as inflation, trade deficit, foreign direct investment, foreign currency reserves and declining world oil prices will help us be more active in managing the economy in the coming months," he said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Bang added that the stock market had adjusted downwards sharply, so it would stay steady amid global fluctuation.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Analysts at EuroCapital Securities said from mid-October, the market would see a strong division of shares as companies released their third quarter business results.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The Prime Minister has asked the State Bank of Viet Nam to closely monitor activities of commercial banks in high-risk sectors, look into the bad debt situation, and finalise regulations on debt selling and purchasing in a move to ensure the stability and safety of the banking system. —</p>

<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">HA NOI — Domestic businesses would need to study the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), slated to be signed by Viet Nam and Japan by the end of the year, said the Minister of Industry and Trade, Vu Huy Hoang.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">In order to fully utilise the agreement for exporters benefit, local firms needed to understand Japanese import regulations, he said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The Ministry of Industry and Trade in co-operation with other industries would introduce the provisions of the agreement in order to raise awareness among firms on regulations and help discover opportunities, he said, adding that the EPA, which had received agreement in principle by the two sides, would create opportunities for exporters to better penetrate the Japanese market, especially for agro, forestry and fishery enterprises.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">If the EPA was signed, he said, at least 86 per cent of farm and forestry products and 97 per cent of industrial products exported to Japan would enjoy preferential taxes.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">In negotiations, the Japanese side asked Viet Nam to further open its market for Japanese industrial products. In return, Japan will open its market to Vietnamese apparel, seafood and farm produce.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Hoang said the two sides still had to discuss concrete tax rates, but the import tax rates would not be lower than the rates Viet Nam set in agreements with China and South Korea.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Phan The Rue, former Deputy Minister of Trade, suggested local firms take the initiative in tapping business opportunities in Japan, in the hope of promoting exports.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Vietnamese businesses, especially small – and medium-sized enterprises, should focus on ensuring the quality of products and establishing stable business relations to foster exports to Japan, said trade counsellor of the Viet Nam Embassy in Japan Vu Van Chung.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">He said that opportunities were waiting Vietnamese goods as they made up a modest 0.9 per cent of Japan’s total imports in recent years.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Japan is now Viet Nam’s third largest trade partner. The two countries expect to record US$15 billion in two-way trade this year, two years ahead of the target agreed upon by the two countries’ leaders.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Experts expected that trade turnover between the two countries would surge strongly after the agreement was signed. —</p>

<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Despite a significant annual growth of 15-20 per cent over the past years, the domestic printing and packaging sectors still experienced several challenges including dependence on imported raw materials, a lack of professionalism and a lack of skilled labourers, said chairman of Viet Nam Packaging Association Nguyen Ngoc Sang.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The chairman also emphasised the need to foster co-operation with foreign firms, especially from Denmark as a move to help local firms enhance their professionalism as well as expand production.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Pham Van Bac, deputy head of the construction ministry’s Department for Construction Materials Management described the event as a good chance for Danish businesses to introduce the latest environmentally-friendly technology into the local building material production, printing and packaging sectors.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Through the event, he said, Danish firms could also study specific demands of the Vietnamese market to discover business opportunities.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Viet Nam was presented as a promising investment destination for Danish enterprises who wished to invest in building materials production due to the country’s soaring demand for construction materials, he said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The country needs 100 million tonnes of cement, 400 million sq.m of tiles and 200 million sq.m of construction glass by 2020, pursuant to a plan to develop the building materials sector, approved by the Prime Minister.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The sector must be developed into a key industry, both sustainable and environmentally-friendly, according to the plan, which also says all economic entities are encouraged to produce and trade building materials.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">During their trip in Viet Nam, Danish businesses will also meet with Vietnamese partners in HCM City and several localities to seek opportunities to set up joint ventures.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Established in 1997, the B2B programme aims to contribute to socio-economic development in Viet Nam by improving the competitiveness of Vietnamese enterprises and support the establishment of business partnerships between the two countries. To date, the programme has given 170 million DKK (US$30 million) and has assisted in the establishment of approximately 100 start-up projects and 110 long-term partnerships. —</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">HA NOI — The Viet Nam Association of Securities Business (VASB) reports that 70 to 80 per cent of the total 98 securities companies are cutting back operations, reducing the labour force and limiting their activities.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The association attributed the difficulties to poor management and the recent boom of securities companies. High inflation also had an impact, said Nguyen Thanh Ky, general secretary of the VASB.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Ky said that to help securities companies overcome impediments and continue to develop, support from authorised agencies and policy-makers was essential.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">VASB requested that the National Assembly and Government temporarily delay levying personal income tax on investors in order to create a stable mid-and-long-term capital mobilisation channel to attract more domestic and foreign investors.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Ky said the number of domestic companies was high compared to other countries and territories in the region, with Thailand at 41, Malaysia 37 and Taiwan 31.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">To improve the operation of the securities industry, the Government would need to limit the establishment of new securities companies while strengthening the quality of existing ones, he said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">In response to proposals from the VASB, the chairman of the State Securities Commission (SSC), Tran Thanh Tan, said that authorised agencies had been enhancing inspections on liquidity and risks for securities companies and would further supervise the operation of securities companies.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Tan said stock market transparency must be increased through specific policies and laws.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Authorised agencies needed to conduct their forecasts and warnings in a timely manner and strictly supervise information and transactions released by securities companies, he added.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The Government should also reconsider allowing investors, businesses and individuals to open multiple securities accounts. However, inspection and control should be used to make investor transactions more flexible and help stabilise the market, Tan said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Nguyen Viet Trung, of ACB Securities, said the Government should research and establish a stock market without a trading band.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The current trading band opens the market to fraudulent activities and counteracts the standard rules of international investors .</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Annulling the trading band would make investors more careful, which would gradually bring the stock market back to its real value, said Trung. —</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Tutti ne parlano, moltissimi ci giocano, il premio è allettante e allora mi sono detto...E ALLORA PROVIAMOCI!!<br />
Così sono entrato in una ricevitoria e ho giocato al Superenalotto!<br />
In passato per curiosità quando in tv mostravano i numeri estratti non ho mai trovato una combinazione dei "miei" numeri (date di nascita, eventi particolari della mia vita) che fosse stata vincente...però ieri mi son detto: "non sono mai usciti perchè tu non li hai mai giocati!! oggi li giochi e vinci sicuro!"<br />
Ieri sera l'amara delusione...quei numeri non sono usciti...nemmeno uno...nemmeno ci si è andati vicini...<br />
Sarebbe stato bello vincere al primo tentativo, chissà magari ci riproverò per la prossima...magarì cambierò numeri...però se poi escono gli altri si consumerebbe la tragedia!<br />
Magari domattina mi do all'interpretazione dei sogni che farò, e vedrò di estrapolare qualcosa...ma sempre senza dimenticare i MIEI numeri, che so non mi deluderanno!!</h3>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">HA NOI — Domestic stock indices fell further yesterday as the global financial crisis worsened.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Large sell-offs compared to limited purchases pushed the VN-Index down another 19.47 points or 4.49 per cent to close at 414.24. Trading volume was around 10 million shares, worth VND355 billion (US$21.5 million).</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The southern bourse saw up to 153 losers on the day, with most of them plumbing new depths. Only six codes gained, while five stayed unchanged.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">World stock indices tumbled prior to domestic trading amid continuing economic uncertainty by on average 7 per cent in Europe and 4-5 per cent on Asian exchanges, which further frustrated domestic investor sentiment.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The most active stocks were Sacombank (STB), which received orders for 1.65 million shares and Phu My Fertilisers (DPM), with 1.54 million share orders</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">PetroVietnam Drilling and Well Services (PVD), Hoa Phat Group (HPG) and Vinamilk (VNM) were the next "heavily" traded stocks with 300,000-350,000 units changing hands.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Overseas clients were net buyers, acquiring 2.1 million shares and selling 1.66 million. The net purchase value rose to VND16 billion ($970,000) from Monday’s VND6.64 billion ($402,000).</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The northern market meanwhile saw 135 winners and nine losers.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The Ha Noi Securities Trading Centre’s HASTC Index closed 8.4 points or 5.86 per cent lower at 134.98. Trading volume reached 7 million shares with a total turnover of VND211.3 billion ($12.8 million).</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Vinaconex Corp (VCG) led the market in terms of trading volume with more than 1 million shares traded, followed by Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) with 790,000 shares and Petroleum Technical Services Corp (PVS) with 680,000 shares changing hands.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Ken Tai Chee Ming, senior securities analyst at Kim Eng Corporation, said global markets had slumped over the last few months, a trend he saw continuing until the end of next year.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The forecast was based on the seriousness of the current crisis and the average duration of crises in the past, he said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The Government said the global recession had barely touched the domestic economy. However, indirectly there had been a dampening in the finance, currency, commerce, services and foreign investment markets.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"The globally disadvantageous environment will not avert the flow of foreign capital into the domestic market, but it’s likely that the capital influx will become sluggish, with more careful investor consideration," said Ken Tai.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">He said the local exchange would have to compete with neighbouring countries’ markets due to the depreciation of shares globally.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Chairman of the State Securities Commission Vu Bang said market regulators were intensifying control on securities companies’ activities to ensure liquidity and to limit market risks.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"Companies in general, and listed firms in particular, need to fortify their risk management, restructure and provide timely information to the public," Bang said. "Business activities are a decisive factor in influencing market moves."</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Bang said late last week that the Ministry of Finance had submitted anti-crisis proposals to the Government for consideration. —</p>

<description><![CDATA[HA NOI — A new draft regulation by the State Bank of Viet Nam intends to impose stricter measures ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">HA NOI — A new draft regulation by the State Bank of Viet Nam intends to impose stricter measures on the formation of commercial joint-stock banks in a move to ensure the effectiveness and stability of the local banking system.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">New banks must have charter capital of VND3 trillion (US$180.72 million), while existing joint-stock banks must show they have at least VND1 trillion in charter capital by the end of this year, according to Le Xuan Nghia, director of banking strategy development for the State Bank of Viet Nam.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"The message is clear. That is, to limit weak banks from joining the local market amid increasing concerns about the spreading global-economic turmoil," Vo Tri Thanh, director of the Department for Trade Policy and International Economic Integration Studies under the Central Institute for Economic Management (CIEM), told <I>Viet Nam News</I> yesterday.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">A new bank must have at least 100 shareholders, as at present. However, now each institutional founding shareholder must provide equity of at least VND500 billion ($30.12 million).</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Moreover, an institution or enterprise that wants to be part of a new bank must show that it has operated its own business profitably for three consecutive years before applying.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"Such capital regulations are really strict, but good," said Nguyen Thanh Toai, Deputy General Director of Asia Commercial Bank, a leading joint-stock bank. He told the <I>Viet Nam News</I> yesterday that many State-owned economic groups had sufficient equity of VND500 billion, but they had been warned not to invest in the banking sector.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">He said that setting up the core of a banking system cost at least $4 million alone. Those with such low potential had little chance of surviving.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">State Bank expert Nghia said smaller private enterprises had almost no chance of opening a bank with such large registered capital.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Under current regulations, each bank which wants to become a founding shareholder of a new bank must have total assets of VND10 trillion ($625 million), chartered capital of VND1 trillion ($62.5 million), and bad debts of less than 2 per cent.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">No institutional shareholder is allowed to hold more than 20 per cent of registered capital in the bank – and the limit is reduced to 10 per cent for individual shareholders.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">A financial institution that buys a stake as a strategic investor can hold up to 40 per cent of shares and can acquire even more if the Prime Minister rules it to be in the national interest.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Moreover, in the first three years after the establishment of a bank, shareholders cannot transfer their stake. Founding shareholders are only permitted to transfer stakes to outsiders after five years.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Most of the new proposed regulations will be the same as under current regulations.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The draft proposal also spells out a system of supervision of commercial banks and determines benefits for shareholders.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The checks include several in-house supervisory commissions and nine compulsory reports that must be ratified by the management board.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"The main mission of the management board now is to decide credit operations, shareholder meetings and the dividend divide. It often seems that there is little for them to do.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"Thus, under the new draft, the board will (be busy checking reports) and have no time to intervene in the job of the general director of the bank any more," Nghia said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">A new bank seeking a licence from the State Bank must not only meet the financial requirements, but also adopt risk-management measures in accordance with international standards.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Seeking consultants, meeting procedural requirements and obtaining State Bank approvals may take a new bank nearly 12 months, a senior State Bank official said frankly, but he added that the strict regulations were intended to screen the potential of banks and eliminate in advance fly-by-night financial institutions set up for quick profit.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" color="#800000" size="3"><B>Too many?</B></FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Viet Nam’s banking system now includes five State-owned commercial banks, six joint-venture banks, 36 joint-stock commercial banks, 44 branches of foreign banks, 10 financial companies, 13 financial leasing companies and 998 people’s credit funds.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Since May, two new joint-stock banks have opened up – the Lien Viet Bank and Tien Phong Bank.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">Some wonder if the number of banks is too high for a market with a Gross Domestic Product of about $70 billion annually.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">But according to Thanh from the CIEM, the most critical issues lie in supervision and risk management.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">"Placing conditions on opening new banks is in accordance with World Trade Organisation commitments," he said.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">At one period last year, about 25 applications to establish new banks were already on the State Bank’s desk.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">To stop the rush, the State Bank tightened conditions on setting up banks by issuing Decision No 24/2007/QD-NHNN on June 7, 2007. However, two months later, the central bank reported having already received 12 applications from mostly large State-owned corporations and domestic financial institutions.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">At that time, many believed that high profits reported by the banking industry and the attraction of banking shares on the securities market were tempting provincial authorities and major enterprises across the nation to set up new banks.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">However, so far, only two banks (Tien Phong and Lien Viet) have started operation and another, Bao Viet Bank has been approved for a licence.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">In August this year, the State Bank once again announced a temporary pause in licensing new banks while it compiled new criteria for setting up domestic joint-stock commercial banks.</FONT></P><br />
<P align="left"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3">The central bank will receive application to open new banks right after the new draft is finished and ratified by the PM. Given that the draft is still in production, observers believe that few new banks will enter the local market in the next few years, especially during global economic turmoil. —</p>
