Philippines orders arrest of Arroyo on plunder charges

MANILA (Reuters) - A Philippine court said it has ordered the arrest of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on plunder charges, meaning a likely return to detention after she posted bail in July following about seven months of confinement.

The court has yet to serve the arrest warrant, issued late on Wednesday, to Arroyo and 10 other former state officials over allegations of misuse of state lottery funds as it was still clarifying how to proceed with the multiple arrests.

The 65-year-old Arroyo, who was president from 2001 to 2010, is unlikely to escape detention this time around as the charge under the Plunder Law is a non-bailable offence. Plunder carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

She ended about seven months of detention at an army hospital in July after posting bail on lesser election fraud charges.

Arroyo's lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, said her office was still assessing the situation.

Arroyo also faces allegations of graft over an aborted $329 million national broadband deal with China's ZTE Corp. in 2007. She denies all charges and posted bail on both cases. She has filed her candidacy this week for a second term as congresswoman in next May's mid-term elections.

President Benigno Aquino's pursuit of charges against Arroyo and the Philippines' success in kicking out her allies -- the ombudsman and the Supreme Court chief justice -- all within a span of about a year have been cheered by investors as clear signs that the government is serious in its anti-graft agenda.

In its September resolution, the Ombudsman's office alleged that Arroyo and her co-accused unlawfully acquired and accumulated public funds amounting to 366 million pesos ($8.8 million) by diverting lottery funds for personal gain.

Arroyo, who suffers from a spine condition, was stopped last year by government agents at Manila's main international airport as she was on her way to board a plane for overseas treatment.

Another former Philippine President Joseph Estrada was pursued by the Arroyo administration under the Plunder Law. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison, but was pardoned a short time later.

Vanguard switches to lower-cost fund benchmarks

BOSTON (AP) ? Vanguard Group is trying to bolster its appeal to cost-conscious investors by reducing a key expense of investing in low-cost index mutual funds: fees paid to firms that license benchmarks covering segments of the stock market that the funds track.

The nation's largest fund company said on Tuesday that it has negotiated lower-cost index licensing deals that will result in 22 of its index funds switching to new benchmarks, and adjusting the stocks they invest in accordingly.

The move is expected to eventually lead to fee reductions for investors in Vanguard funds holding more than half a trillion dollars, or more than a quarter of the $1.95 trillion that the company manages in U.S. mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

The new licensing deals "will enable us to deliver significant value to our index fund and ETF shareholders and lower expense ratios over time," said Gus Sauter, chief investment officer with Vanguard, a privately held company based in Valley Forge, Pa.

It's premature to discuss when specific funds will cut their expense ratios as a result of the agreements, or how large the cuts will be, Vanguard spokesman John Woerth said.

Index funds seek to match rather than beat the market by investing in a basket of stocks or bonds. Fees are typically low because investors aren't paying managers to pick investments. Index fund managers are supposed to ensure that the fund's holdings are essentially the same as the market index that the fund pays licensing fees to track, while making adjustments when particular stocks are removed or added to the index.

Index licensing fees have represented a growing portion of the expenses that investors pay to own index funds and ETFs, Sauter said.

The 22 out of more than 170 of Vanguard's U.S. funds affected by Tuesday's announcement currently use benchmarks licensed from the firm MSCI. They range from the MSCI US Broad Market Index, a diversified index of U.S. stocks, to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, covering stocks of fast-growing countries such as China and Brazil.

As a result of new licensing deals, 16 Vanguard funds investing primarily in U.S. stocks will track newly developed benchmarks from the University of Chicago's Center for Research in Security Prices. Another six funds investing in foreign stocks are moving from MSCI indexes to benchmarks from FTSE Group.

Sauter said the indexes that Vanguard will use "are well-constructed, offer comprehensive coverage of their respective markets, and meet Vanguard's 'best practice' standards for market benchmarks."

The 16 U.S. funds hold a total $367 billion, including the $197 billion Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund, which will now track the CRSP U.S. Total Stock Market Index. The Vanguard foreign stock funds switching to FTSE indexes hold about $170 billion, including the $67 billion Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund.

The switch to new indexes will involve small changes in the stocks that the funds own. For example, Vanguard Emerging Markets Index will no longer own South Korean stocks, because the fund's new index ? the FTSE Emerging Markets Index ? classifies that country among the world's developed markets. The index the fund had been using previously, MSCI Emerging Markets, classifies South Korea as an emerging market.

The index transitions at each fund will be staggered over coming months. They affect all share classes for the 22 funds, including shares available to average investors, as well as those geared toward institutional investors, such as companies offering 401(k) plans.

No index changes are planned for other Vanguard U.S. stock index funds tracking benchmarks from Russell and Standard & Poor's.

Vanguard's announcement may in part be a response to recent moves by a smaller fund industry rival, Charles Schwab Corp., to cut fees at some of its index funds to levels below those charged by comparable Vanguard funds, said Daniel Wiener, an editor of an independent newsletter on Vanguard's mutual funds. For example, Schwab last month cut fees at its 15 ETFs.

"Indexing, particularly through ETFs, is going to get cheaper and cheaper, and Vanguard is not going to let someone else, be it Schwab, iShares or any of its other competitors, take the mantle of 'lowest-cost' from its shoulders, said Wiener, who also runs who runs Adviser Investments, a manager of more than $2 billion for individual investors.

BlackRock Inc.'s iShares unit, the industry leader in ETFs based on ETF assets managed, issued a statement in response to Vanguard's move indicating that iShares would "deepen" its existing index-licensing relationship with MSCI.

"MSCI is the gold standard of global and international equity indexes - the near-universal choice of professional investors," said Mark Wiedman, global head of the iShares ETFs.

MLB completes 8-year deal with Fox, Turner Sports

NEW YORK (AP) ? Major League Baseball agreed with Fox and Turner Sports on eight-year contracts that will run through 2021 and keep the World Series on Fox.

The amount baseball receives from the two networks will double to an average of about $800 million annually, with Fox's share averaging about $500 million.

"Both networks are passionate about baseball and are committed to covering, promoting and growing the sport, and I want to thank them for their continued support," Commissioner Bud Selig said Tuesday.

Fox also will retain rights to the All-Star game and a league championship series every year, and adds coverage of two division series starting in 2014. Fox broadcast the World Series in 1996 and 1998, and has had exclusive rights in 2000.

TBS will retain the rights to air one league championship series, two division series and one wild-card game.

MLB Network will continue to have the right to two games from one division series in the new eight-year deal.

Fox and TBS will alternate between showing the American League and National League playoffs from year to year. MLB Network's two division series game will come from Fox's games.

ESPN and MLB in August announced a new deal covering 2014-21 that will increase ESPN's average yearly payment from about $360 million to approximately $700 million.

Fox, which broadcasts a Saturday regular-season game each week under its current deal, will double regular-season game rights from 26 to 52 under the new contract. Twelve of those will be exclusively shown on Fox, but the deal gives the network the right to air as many as 40 games on another nationally distributed Fox channel.

"We are continuing to evaluate the possibility of a national sports channel," Randy Freer, co-president of Fox Sports Media Group, said during a conference call. He added that no announcement on such a network was imminent.

Speculation has been that Fox will rebrand its Speed Network into a ESPN-style, all-sports network, and having major league baseball games to show on it would help greatly with distribution to cable and satellite providers.

Under the new deals, TBS will also have the rights to air 13 regular-season Sunday games. However, it will gain more telecasts that will be broadcast simultaneously with the local club TV feed within a market and increased digital rights.

Turner had carried all four division series from 2007 through last year but gave up two division series games to the MLB Network under a deal running through 2013. That was part of a financial agreement that gave it rights to the two wild-card round games this year.

ESPN gains a wild-card game starting in 2014. It also had televised 26 Sunday games each season.

ESPN gained additional rights to highlights and digital content in its deal plus more flexibility to show games involving popular teams.

Low cost flying arrives in luxury loving Japan

NARITA, Japan (AP) ? Japan has a reputation for loving expensive things like overpriced real estate, gourmet melons and luxury brands. But the nation is finally discovering the joy of flying cheap, with the arrival this year of three low-cost carriers.

The takeoff of AirAsia Japan, Peach Aviation and Jetstar Japan could change lifestyles. No longer will air travel be mostly confined to business trips and fancy once-in-a-lifetime vacations to places such as Hawaii.

Flying is suddenly growing more casual, including for weekend dining, visits with friends, even day trips. Ticket prices are plunging by about half, to 16,000 yen ($200) trips to the southwestern resort island of Okinawa or a 5,000 yen ($60) hop to Seoul.

The airlines are not only out to woo Japanese away from regular leisure activities such as spending money at Disneyland or watching a movie. They are also out to convince the notoriously workaholic Japanese not to work so hard.

They may revitalize Japan's 3 trillion yen ($38 billion) aviation market ? already the world's third largest, comprising about 5.5 percent of global traffic and 11 percent of industry revenues ? that critics say is untapped for its tremendous potential.

Helping to drive the change is the expansion of two Tokyo airports, Haneda and Narita, which has opened up more landing slots for airlines.

Twenty-two-year-old graduate student Chie Kodama recently used Jetstar for an urban planning research trip to Okinawa, and was surprised at how the planes were "normal," like any other airline's.

"And it is so cheap you forgive any shortcomings," she said.

As with other low-cost carriers around the world, flyers get charged for meals and extra luggage. Efficiency is critical and so the airlines use online advertising and reservations, fit more seats into each jet, and take off quickly after landing.

Booking early is a must for the best deals, and refunds and schedule changes aren't allowed. The gates are typically at the farthest end of airports. Flights are sometimes delayed. The wait feels longer because LCC users have to check in extra early.

Masato Yamaguchi, 22, said his friends had to run like mad when their AirAsia flight back to Tokyo from Okinawa was delayed, and they barely had time to catch the last bus.

As he noted: What would be the point of having to pay hundreds of dollars for a cab home, if they had endured the cramped space of a low cost carrier to pinch pennies?

"There was no way to cross your legs," Yamaguchi grumbled. "You wouldn't want to use it if you're going someplace far away."

Still, the carriers are doing well so far.

During the nation's Obon holidays in August, domestic flights at Peach were 94 percent filled, those at AirAsia were at 91 percent and at Jetstar, 89 percent. The companies are hoping to do as well for the year-end and New Year's holidays.

"It's not that the meals on standard fares were ever free. The charge was just part of the ticket price," Kazuyuki Iwakata, president of AirAsia Japan, told The Associated Press. "With us, people pay only for what they need."

As a marketing ploy, AirAsia Japan, which started operations in August, offered tickets for just 5 yen (5 cents) to the first 10,000 people. They quickly sold out.

During the go-go "bubble years" of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Japanese were especially seen as finicky consumers who delighted in 3,000 yen ($30) cups of fancy coffee and snatched up 500,000 yen ($5,000) designer bags.

Such spending has lost some of its glamor as Japanese become less status-conscious, perhaps poorer and look for discounts. Such shifts in consumer tastes is underlined in the popularity, for instance, of Fast Retailing Co.'s no-nonsense Uniqlo clothing chain, which is also opening shops in the U.S.

Geoffrey Tudor, analyst with Japan Aviation Management Research, said low-cost carriers are introducing the fun of flying to young people and retirees. They are also popular with families who live apart to juggle work assignments and children's education needs ? a practice so widespread a special phrase has been coined to describe it, "tanshin funin."

Jetstar Japan Chief Executive Miyuki Suzuki said a tenth of those who use her carrier are first-time fliers.

"We aim to grow the piece of the pie," she told reporters recently. "People can travel more for less and have many more experiences."

Jetstar Japan is a third owned by Australia's Qantas Airways Ltd., and a third owned by Japan Airlines Co., which is making a soaring comeback, thanks to a 350 billion yen ($4.5 billion) government bailout from bankruptcy two years ago and generous tax breaks that continue for several years. Mitsubishi Corp. and Century Tokyo Leasing Corp. are its other shareholders with 16.7 percent each.

AirAsia Japan is 49 percent owned by AirAsia, a Malaysian low-cost carrier founded in 1993, whose motto is "Now everyone can fly," and 51 percent by All Nippon Airways Co., or ANA, JAL's rival.

ANA is also a 38.7 percent investor in Peach, a joint venture with Hong Kong investment group, First Eastern Aviation Holdings. Peach offers flights out of Kansai International Airport in Osaka, central Japan.

AirAsia Japan offers flights out of Narita, the Tokyo airport, to Sapporo, Fukuoka and Okinawa in Japan, and plans to start them to Seoul and Pusan in South Korea later this year. Flights to the Philippines and Guam are in the works as well.

While expanding Haneda has given a boost to the airline travel market, officials say more needs to be done. Landing fees at Japanese airports are among the highest in the world, endangering Tokyo's role as an Asian hub.

Tony Tyler, director and chief executive of the International Air Transport Association, said all carriers need to bring costs down if they hope to survive, but was upbeat about Japanese LCCs.

"In many parts of the world, the low-fare sector has tapped into demand from new market sectors. So they have grown the market, rather than cannibalized it," he said.

Also sold on low-cost carriers was Hirotaka Yamamoto, 22, who goes to college in Tokyo but hails from the northernmost island of Hokkaido. He surprised his parents over the summer by going home, thanks to the 24,000 yen ($300) round-trip fare on Jetstar, less than half of what he paid in the past.

"They were surprised to see me and so happy," he said. "I hope the tickets keep getting even cheaper."

The internet will save retailers in 2013 - Small Business Can

The date has been set ? our hero of the hour; the internet, will save retailers in 2013.

You heard it here first.

As you struggle with a myriad of emotions ? shock, disbelief, curiosity and finally acceptance, I?ll explain the reasons why.

Backstory

Over the last 24 months businesses have been radically adjusting their retail outlets to counteract the changes in the economy. During the good times, less emphasis was placed on price, but since 2008, retailers of all sizes have been evaluating how they can stay profitable AND cut costs.

After trying and failing with the usual techniques since the ?blip? (we?ll just call it a blip, as it sounds better), the threat of liquidation has forced businesses to look at options that they never truly considered.

Enter the internet

In the same 24 months, we have been approached by a number of retailers who are,? either looking to move their business online for the first time, or feel that there is more opportunity online and that they have little understanding of how to make their existing online shop work.

In both cases, we?ve had success.

Why ? because people are online?everywhere

Everyone is online. And online more. The internet is publicly open and accessible anywhere ? to John down the road and Shelia in Australia.
According to ?State of the Net?? (Amas.ie) 43% of people in Ireland purchased an item online in the past 12 months . Almost 50% of Irish households own a smartphone and? 36% shop using a smartphone or tablet.? That means more sales, more often. Anytime.

That means that even while you sleep, sales can be taken when you?re asleep. 50 items can be purchased that you can arrange to be sent directly from source, warehouse or the shop.

Why ? Online is where your customers are

Social media, blogging, apps and video are the ?stickies? of the online world. That means that people love to engage and spend more time online in one session.

It also means that we?re interacting more online, asking for advice and help, sharing information, engaging with businesses and looking at their website via various channels.

Why ? because trading online is more cost effective

The cost of setting up and managing an online shop can be as cheap as ?250, although I would recommend paying for a good quality website with integrated content management system which will cost in the region of ?4000 and a yearly website domain and hosting cost of ?100 ? ?500 (this price will depend on whether you need dedicated or shared hosting).
Comparatively, the cost is less after the website launches. It costs nothing (but time) to maintain and publication of updates is instant.

Why ? because digital advancements have made it easy to shop online

Simply put, technology has made it easy to shop online. Various e-commerce platforms and numerous plugins and add-ons provide an assortment of options for retailers.

You will notice that products have centre stage, with sharing buttons and reviews the norm. User accounts save time on re-ordering and email sign ups help retailers stay in touch with customers.

There are plenty of reasons to hop online or start using a clear-cut strategy to increase performance.

A website is always the best place to start as it works as your hub for online activity. Here you can display your products and advertise.

A digital strategy will then help formulate a plan based on your key objectives. So, the platforms you list your business, the time spent on each, how you use them, your content strategy, how you monitoring customer behaviour and purchasing patterns ? these can all be scoped out and set up to keep your online shop on track.

Ways To Make Camping Fun For Everyone | Content for Reprint

Camping is a great activity and can be done with those around you that you love. Yet, many never try it because it sounds so hard to do. As long as you have the information you need ahead of time, camping is very easy. Continue reading this article for some excellent camping tips that will make you an seasoned camper quickly.

Remember that everything you bring will get dirty on your trip. Being prepared for the inevitable is the best way to avoid unneeded stress. Have fun in nature and don't be afraid to get dirty! You can get back to normal after returning home.

Make sure you know how to use a compass and map before you go camping. You can get lost in the woods even if you have been to the area before. You will be able to avoid possible tragedy when you learn how to use both of these life saving items.

After your trip, be certain you leave the campsite cleaner than it was when you found it. You will want to bring trash bags for cleaning up all refuse. Do not leave food there, either. A golden rule for departing a campsite: leave only your footprints behind.

Safety procedures should be acknowledged when you're out camping. Keep away from animals, both large and small. Even small animals in the wild can be dangerous. This should not have to be said, but never feed any bears you see.

Never assume that you will find enough wood to burn, because rain can change that in an instant. Bringing your own small supply of wood and keeping it dry is a wise decision.

Learn how to use a map or a compass before going camping. Even if you know what your campsite is like, you may still get lost because a lot of areas look similar around where you are. You can prevent disaster by knowing how to use these lifesaving items.

Never assume that you will find enough wood to burn, because rain can change that in an instant. It's important that you bring extra wood with you that you can keep in a dry area.

If you have any type of medical issue, no matter how minor, you should always discuss camping with a medical professional beforehand. He or she can tell you about important things you may not have thought about for your trip that can affect your health in a harmful way. Maybe only one small thing needs to be done that won't interfere but will make your camping trip less dangerous for you.

Have you just bought your first tent and want to begin camping? It's vital to learn all that you can before you leave about your tent. You should know what you need and how to do it before you actually have to do it. This will also help you be able to accomplish the task quickly and efficiently once you arrive at your campsite, even if it is near dark.

Find the softest, flattest ground possible to set up your tent. If you pick out a sloped or a rocky spot it can make sleeping and hanging out in the tent very uncomfortable. Also, put a tarp down on your site to repel water in the best fashion.

Buy yourself some camping pillows for your trip. The typical pillows will become sticky in hot and humid climates. The will also pull moisture from the air and mildew will form quickly. Pillows specifically designed for camping will not draw in wetness like regular pillows will.

For a cheap and disposable tarp to place under your tent, save an old shower curtain! You can also use it as a way to control run-off as you are washing or cooking. Instead of getting rid of an old shower curtain, use it for your next camping trip.

Improper food packing leads to food poisoning in many campers each year. Food poisoning can happen when food is spoiled, which is something you risk when you take food not properly preserved, vacuum sealed or canned. Make sure you keep all perishable food on ice, but keep the drain open!

Now that you've reached the end of this article, you are ready to do some planning. Camping is not intended to be an intense event, but there is a bit of know-how required to make it stress free. Use the information shared here and have a great trip!
