The Harris County Sheriff's Office Financial Crimes Unit has charged three individuals with fraudulent use of identifying information and now needs your help in tracking down two of them.
Facing felony charges are Vanessa Bruceta, owner of Vanessa and Associates Transportation Company, Jose Arrebola, and Luis Tornes-Navarro.
According to investigators, the three were using specially altered pick up trucks with several hundred gallon diesel tanks to transport diesel fuel purchased with stolen credit card information. Most of the stolen credit card information was from IBC and USAA credit card users leading investigators to believe it was obtained through an online security breach.
So far investigators have found approximately 75 victims and believe there may be many more.
On September 3, investigators located one of the vehicles used in the scheme and found 53 "cloned" credit cards inside. The vehicle was seized for asset forfeiture to prevent its further use in the criminal enterprise. Suspect Vanessa Bruceta, 33, was arrested.
Investigators need your help in locating Jose Arrebola, 36, and Luis Tornes-Navarro,30. Both have ties to the Cuban community and may have fled the state.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office Financial Crimes Unit reminds you to protect your personal and financial information by never giving your debit card pin number to anyone. Also avoid letting someone walk away with your credit card, such as at a restaurant or business. Make sure your credit card is always in your sight. Beware of "phishing" emails, and if you notice any fraudulent activity on your accounts, contact your banking institution and the appropriate law enforcement agency immediately.
Anyone with information about the suspects' location in this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS or to submit a tip via the iWatchHarrisCounty phone app.

The Trump administration will get behind a criminal justice proposal for the first time when Jared Kushner meets with lawmakers to push for a bill to rehabilitate prisoners through educational programs, vocational training and therapy to reduce recidivism rates.
Be smart: Criminal justice reform has no deadline, most prisoners can't vote and efforts over the past couple of years have always been kicked down the road, despite general bipartisan support. Many criminal justice reform advocates on the Hill and in outside groups credit Kushner for his advocacy on the issue in the White House.

Event Ideas & Design
Your Essential Event Planning Guide
Are you going to throw a party or hold a conference in a few months? If so, then you better plan ahead of time or you'll end up being talked about–in a negative way. Take note that even if you're going for an expensive venue or event decorator, without thorough planning, you will still get an outcome that is not up to scratch.
Now, whether you're an event planner wannabe or you just want to host a special occasion, this guide will help you become a success in this venture.
Related: Top Event Planning Tips For Starters In 2017
Read on and get ready to learn about event management:
Make a checklist
If you miss out even a single element in your party, you will surely disappoint some or most of your guests. A practical solution is to make a comprehensive checklist for the things you need to accomplish for the party, which may include the theme, food, venue, date and time, budget and size. By doing so, you can minimize the risk of forgetting important parts of the event.
Define your needs
Once you have an idea about the components of your celebration, you can now go to the specifications. How many guests do you want to invite and can be accommodated? Which catering service are you going to get? Do you need to get the wisdom of event theming experts?
Set a budget
Any project that you wish to pursue involves money. Holding a certain event isn't an exemption. So make a financial blueprint that includes everything that you'll probably spend on—food, invitations, decorations, venue and other supplies.
Assess all components of the event
For you to be certain that you get top-notch services, speak with the people involved. For the food and beverages, discuss with your caterers regarding the menu; for the location, check the size, features, fees–and negotiate appropriately; for additional fixtures, you can go for an event furniture hire.
Send invitations ahead of time
Your guests will be pleased if you inform them in advance so that that they can prepare for the event, especially if you have a theme or a dress code. For business conferences, you can publicize the affair through posters, radio announcements, and other media.
Evaluate the outcome
After the event, assess how it turned out. Did everyone have a good time? Were the food and beverages enough? By evaluating and comparing the results to your expectations, you will see which areas you need to improve on for you to have a more satisfactory event management the next time.
You may inquire more information from event planners in your locality. You may also contact House Of Jethro Events For your essential event needs…

Even When Feeling Pressure, Nathan Phillips Bravely Kept Singing
Guest Commentary
I met Nathan Phillips, the Omaha elder, who was in the center of the singing and drumming at the Lincoln Memorial, at Standing Rock in 2016. He was right there fighting with us as a warrior fighting to protect our water.
After watching him at Standing Rock, I have a lot of respect for him as a Vietnam-era veteran and warrior, teacher and pipe carrier.
We had the last ceremony there before the Oceti Sakowin Camp was closed down by Dakota Access Pipeline. We were on the frozen Cannonball River with guns pointed at us singing the American Indian Movement Song.
This song was given to Raymond Yellow Thunder who was brutally murdered in the border town of Gordon, Nebraska. He was the grandson of Chief American Horse. The American Indian Movement (AIM) came to ensure those responsible were prosecuted for his death. The song was given to the Yellow Thunder Family in 1972. Because of the circumstances the Northern Cheyenne people gave the song to AIM. It has since been an honor song, a victory song and the AIM anthem of the American Indian people.
This is the same AIM song Nathan Phillips was singing at Lincoln Memorial to defuse the situation between two factions: Black Israelite people and high school students who were in a shouting match. Nathan Phillips'path was blocked and he was surrounded when he began singing the AIM song.
The feeling of being surrounded happened to us at Standing Rock. To me and many other Native people, the "Make America Great Again" red caps were a symbol of oppression, ethnic and cultural genocide, stolen land and stolen waters. Even when feeling pressure, Nathan Phillips bravely kept singing.
The Indigenous Peoples March was planned to hear the voices of our Native American missing and murdered women. No one seemed to listen.
We had the area Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting pond reserved for the Indigenous Peoples March. Those Black Israelite people and high school students disrupted the end of our event. We attempted to end in prayer and singing. Nathan was to sing the AIM Victory Song. He was trying to make his way to the steps to sing and was blocked and surrounded.
The disruption of two groups shouting at each other is not easy to solve. I wonder where was security to prevent interference from dissident disrupting groups, Where was the Lincoln Memorial security?
What has to happen?
It is said that a nation is not finished until the hearts of the women are on the ground. Our women are not finished; we are standing strong. We will work towards the true intention of the Indigenous Peoples March. We will work for change and a time when there are no more missing and murdered Native women, men and children. We will stand behind our men and sing with them and they will be strong too.
It is all about respect, honor and doing what is right.
Beatrice Menase Kwe Jackson (Tsimphean, Nicola Anishinawbe) is Grandmother of the Three Fires Midewewin Lodge.

text: The furnace in your home provides a valuable service to all who live in the house. Obviously, the furnace keeps you warm in the winter, helps keep the pipes from freezing, and allows everyone to get a good night's sleep in January without having to crawl under the covers in a full set of winter clothes, mittens, and heavy socks. In the summertime, the furnace (or, more specifically, the circulating fan and blower motor inside the furnace) helps keep the air in the house cool and inviting. Yes, the days before we had heating and cooling systems in the house were unpleasant indeed. But, as mentioned earlier, the furnace performs a number of services. One of the often-overlooked services is in filtering the air we breathe in the home. And the quality of the air is directly related to how often you change your furnace filter.

Yesterday, in Market News, American Companies announced a record breaking $201.3 billion in stock buyback and cash takeovers during May.
The top 3 companies heading the buyback are led by Apple (AAPL), making up nearly half of the the total in tax returns at $100 billion, and promising to use all of it to purchase its own stock, although they never expressly stated when this buyback would occur. They were followed by, second in line, Micron Technology (MU) at $10 billion and Qualcomm (QCOM) at $8.8 billion.
The announcement of the buyback frenzy in May follows a trend that began in the first quarter of 2018, in which U.S. companies compensated by the reform purchased $178 billion in buybacks. This was an all time record high, beating the previous record of $172 billion in 2007, directly prior to the Great Recession.
Its very possible that total buybacks and dividends this year could top $1 trillion for the first time in history.
These company buybacks are a direct result of the US corporate tax cut law, which reduced the business tax rate from 35% to 21%. This law also includes giving companies a break on taxes owed when returning foreign earnings.
So how are these businesses spending the money they are receiving from these tax cuts? Well the answer depends upon the business. While some companies are buying back stocks to reduce the quantity of their outstanding shares, while boosting the prices of their stock. Other leading companies, like Verizon, are donating sums of $400 million to support middle school STEM programs, that aim to reach 5 million students with free technology resources by 2020. While companies like Walmart, Home Depot, Aflac, SunTrust, Wells Fargo and numerous other businesses, are using them to either raise wages, contribute to their employees 401 (K) plans or giving their employees a one time bonus.
Some critics of the tax reform bill believe all the companies should be using this extra wealth to create jobs and boost wages, rather then just using the money on stock buybacks.
However, the companies involved in the buybacks have been completely unfaltering in their defense of the decision, seeing it as a natural function of capital markets, and proper implementation of their capital.
Goldman Sachs is also in support capital spending, referencing companies like Kohl's and Intel that have watched their stocks skyrocket since the 2016 election.
The chairman of the business round table Dimon, brought up the point that people may use the money returned to them by their employers to purchase homes or fund their own venture capital firms, resulting in positive contributions to U.S. economic growth.
"I don't understand how anyone can say that's a bad thing. That is coming from people who are basically ignorant." stated Dimon. (CNN Money – New York) "Tax Cut fuels record $200 billion stock buyback bonanza"

While 2017 brought farmers the highest corn yields on record—176.6 bu. per acre—it didn't bring the increased revenue for which producers hoped. Instead, total crop revenue for the country was $194 billion, 9% lower than the census five years earlier and lower than livestock revenue.
"We are pleased to deliver Census of Agriculture Results to America, and especially to the farmers and ranchers who participated," said U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue. "We can all use the Census to tell the tremendous story of U.S. agriculture and how it is changing."
The 2017 census showed corn second to cattle and calves in commodity earnings, coming in at $51.2 billion. Iowa took top honors for production. Soybeans came in forth in commodity value at $40.3 billion, with Illinois taking top spot in production.
Farmers spent $83.2 billion on cash rent, chemicals, fertilizer and seed alone in 2017. On-farm income dropped 2% from 2012 to $43,053.
Acres harvested: 2012 vs. 2017
- Corn
- 2012-87,413,045
- 2017-84,738,562

*User slider bars to toggle back and forth from 2012 to 2017 acres
Globally the country as a whole ranked No. 1 in grains, oilseeds, dry beans and dry peas; No. 10 in cotton and cottonseed; and No. 9 in other crops and hay production. Grains, oilseeds, dry beans and dry peas accounted for 27.4% of the country's total sales—dominating other categories.

Eating soup in summertime doesn't sound appetizing but the cashew milk substitution made it very light and the basil topping made it refreshing. It's definitely not your traditional mushroom soup so that's why I'm calling it "Summer Mushroom Soup". Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
Very special thank you to Gruger Market for the mushrooms!
For the Soup
1/2 yellow cooking onion, minced
7-8 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups king oyster mushrooms, chopped
2 tbsp organic, virgin coconut oil
2 cups unsweetened cashew milk
2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 yellow cooking onion, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup king oyster mushrooms, peeled (see photo below)
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tbsp freshly chopped basil
For the soup: In a medium sauce pan, sauté onions, garlic and mushrooms in coconut oil on low for 10 minutes or until soft and then add salt. Add cashew milk and stock and bring to a low simmer. Transfer soup to blender and blend on a low setting for 30 seconds.
For the topping:
In a medium fry pan, bring to a medium high heat and add coconut oil. Fry onions, garlic and peeled mushrooms until crispy.
Top with fresh basil and serve.

Social Network For Security Executives: Help Make Right Cyber Security Decisions
One is not exactly channeling Nostradamus to predict that ransomware attacks will hit Industrial Control Systems (ICS). The importance of a reliable, high integrity backup and ability to recover in an acceptable timeframe is the same for ICS and enterprise network ransomware attacks. The difference is the average high value ICS is lacking in automated, consistent backup with off network storage. There is a false sense of comfort from the redundancy in the system, and we still see manual backups on USB drives with all of the issues related to this heavily human action based approach.
Backup should be much easier in ICS because of the minimal changes in many installations. A quarterly or monthly backup of everything but historical data is often sufficient. Whatever an asset owner does for backup and has for Recovery Time Objectives (RTO), it is the confidence in the ability to recover that is key. ICS ransomware is a great tabletop incident response exercise that might have the asset owner revisiting recovery requirements.
Here are four more interesting predictions where Ransomware in ICS may be different:

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
An album that I never actually purchased. At the time of its release, I was of mixed feelings. On the one hand, I didn't like the idea of David Gilmour calling his group Pink Floyd when it no longer had Roger Waters in it. On the other hand, I like Gilmour's music from a composition standpoint; I also like his voice and his guitar playing. The first time I saw the video for "Learning to Fly" I stood still in quiet mesmerization for the whole thing. "Terminal Frost" is a cool instrumental, and another saxophone song.
David Gilmour also always gets extra points from me because he helped Kate Bush get started way back when.
I made this copy tape from a CD that belonged to my house-mate (for a short time during the late 80s) who goes by the nom de internet of Babel and who has a blog called The Absurd Good News Network. I'm pretty sure that's who I copied it from, anyway.
Not the best Pink Floyd album, in my opinion, but probably the best from the post-Floyd David Gilmour Band. There are a couple of points that still bother me, for example, I cringe every time I hear that line "the hand of fate seemed to fit just like a glove" from "One Slip." It makes me wonder if Gilmour was taking lyric-writing lessons from Greg Lake. And when I heard someone on the radio refer to Gilmour a few months ago as "the voice of Pink Floyd" I had to just grit my teeth.
Pink Floyd's influence (that is, the Waters-era PF) is felt not only in rock music, it has floated across multiple genres. Just try listening to Kitaro playing the guitar and see if you can't hear some Pink Floyd in there.
But I know that using the Pink Floyd name was good marketing; as a shameless capitalist myself I can't really hold it against him. Unless you're harder-core than I am and you really hold a grudge against Gilmour from the fallout of the Gilmour/Waters feud, it's worth adding to your collection.
I never bothered following them after this. The old albums are still worth listening to again and again, and I doubt if Gilmour will ever come up with anything on his own that can compare with them.

Whenever I move out of the house, I am always filled with a sense of dread. I wonder why I am so repulsed by the places we make for ourselves today. It has nothing to do with poverty, disease, or malnutrition. The dread is related, to the places of ordinary life, the buildings of the city - the house, the school, the landmark. If there is a professed spatial, humanist or aesthetic purpose to architecture it is difficult to experience it in reality. On paper architecture is that wonderful making of spaces, that sculptural massing brought together in light, that imaginative wondering of the creative spirit. But the buildings around, are nothing but dreary masses of broken and smudged plaster - flagging in spirit, depressing, unsightly, blemished. The shops and offices and markets are like parasitic growths, spreading along the ground, smudging the sight line, slowly sucking the life around them, turning the city into a rotting concrete carcass. And leaving you with nothing. No remembrance of landmark, no encounter with history, no cause for celebration.
When the sights and sounds of the place are overwhelmed, when the pitch reached a severity of personal affrontry, there was little to do but retreat. The city was a wasted place, and architecture was a threat palpable in physical terms. It reached out through the clutter of people and buildings and signs, and promised a daily dose of hostility, conflict and chaos. At the end of a work day, I felt I had enough. I was seething with my own reactions of hostility. It was then that I would seek the quieter comforts of the drawing board, to undo the architecture I had just seen, to remake it in drawing.

Sela's set for Wimbledon challenge
Dudi Sela says he's looking forward to taking part at this year's Wimbledon Championships, though admits he's going to SW19 without great expectations.
Speaking to Jewish News ahead of this year's tournament, which begins on Monday, the 30-year-old, who will be Israel's only singles player at the tournament, said: "It's good to be playing there, I'm looking forward to it. Grass isn't one of my favourite surfaces and how far I can go depends a lot on the draw. We'll see who I get and take it from there."
Taking part in competitions at both Ilkey and Nottingham over the past week to get used to the grass surface, the latter of which saw him knocked out of the second round on Tuesday, he said: "Preparations have been ok. I practiced on the hard courts in Israel before coming over here with the aim to play a few matches. I wasn't expecting too much, just to get some matches."

Sela was though the only Israeli player to automatically qualify for the main draw – with Shahar Peer, Julia Glushko and Amir Weintraub all being knocked out in the qualifying rounds – and he's accused Israeli tennis officials of failing to produce players capable of reaching Grand Slam tournaments. He said: "The system is not good in Israel, it hasn't been for a while and that's why there are so few Israeli players reaching Grand Slam tournaments. Things are at least beginning to change now and I'm hoping we'll see that in the years to come. There are some players who are coming through, doing well in Challenger events, and there are some who I think can make it into the top 300 world rankings. From there it's up to them, it depends how they cope with it, both physically and mentally, but hopefully within the next five years, we'll see more Israeli players reaching major tournaments."
Sela will though be joined at Wimbledon by one other Israeli after Yoni Erlich – in the men's doubles alongside German Philipp Petzschner, won their two qualifying round matches to to seal their place in the main draw.
And with Sela's next competitive action being his opening round match, he plans to get in plenty of practice on the Wimbledon courts between now and then, together with taking in some of London's sights. A fan of the capital – he came over with his wife in December – he said: "I love London, there's always so much to see here and I'll be doing just that in between practicing for next week."

This is an elective for students in the postgraduate IT degrees. It is expected to be taken early in the degree if (and only if) their undergraduate education and subsequent experience have not covered this vital aspect, namely working in groups under a defined process to deliver a software development project. Remark: the Sydney University undergraduate degrees in IT and in SE all cover this material, especially through the unit COMP3615 or INFO3600 and INFO3402; however, not all institutions guarantee this sort of experience for IT graduates. This unit will scaffold such students to do well in future group development projects, in their coursework or in industry, by providing fundamental knowledge of Software Engineering processes and practices. Much of the student's effort will be directed towards a carefully managed small-group project to deliver a software system to meet a client's needs; they will be working with a client who may be external, or who may be a member of the teaching staff role-playing as an external client. A member of the teaching staff (separate from anyone who is acting as client) will take the role of manager for the group, checking progress and providing feedback frequently. By the end of the unit, the students will understand the processes and practices used in group projects that develop software, and they will be able to follow these processes and practices, so that they can contribute effectively in a small group that is developing software to meet clients needs.
Lectures, Laboratories, Project Work - own time
Through semester assessment (50%) and Final Exam (50%)
Assumed knowledge
Skill as an individual programmer (as expected from any IT graduate, who could be admitted to GCertIT, GDipIT or MIT degree)
Semester 1

This week will be a long flashback. First up is Part 3 of my Boys' 1st Christmases. This week it is Aiden's 1st Christmas 2005. It's also my best friend Dianna's birthday today so I have a little flashback for her too! (she may kill me for that)
This picture is from December 2005 and it's Aidens' Baptism Day. I always love this picture because it looks like he's practicing his karate moves. Hi-ya!
The boys got to see Santa and one of his reindeer at the local Gamemasters.
Christmas Morning 2005. Honestly, this is one of the best Christmases in my memory. We had a sweet new baby boy and a 4 and 6 year old that were still awed by the magic of Christmas. It was perfect. I also had a 2 year old nephew and a nephew that was only 4 days younger than Aiden so there were lots of little ones. (Don't you love how daddy is holding Aiden's head?)
Rumpled Morning Daddy holding his three boys. This is back when the boys were completely enamored by Aiden. They worshipped him, always wanted to "help" with him, hold him, play with him, etc. I notice that isn't the case anymore. He just drives them crazy, gets into their things, and wants to follow them everywhere.
The five grandkids and our attempt to get a good photo.
I can't make fun of your age because I'm older, and you just keep getting more beautiful so I'll just leave it at that~ Love ya girl!
Very early 90's on one of my solo trips to FL to visit. Remember the days of bodysuits?? Obviously a petite person designed those....they didn't fit us tall folk too well!
And last but not least, one of my all time favorite pictures of us....I have this framed in my bedroom. This is from sometime in 1975. This is how it all started............

Many members of our community have expressed a desire to learn more about systemic racism, and to investigate ways to become part of the solution. In February, we brought in three young leaders from the Peace and Justice Center in Burlington to facilitate an initial discussion. While they helped to open this important conversation, many of those who attended expressed a desire for further understanding, with time to delve into the issues more thoughtfully.
On June 17th and 24th, we will be offering just such an opportunity, guided by Wrenn Compere and hosted by the Village Meeting House. We invite you to join us in unpacking a social concern that touches each and every one of us. We will meet from 6:30 until 8:00 pm. Everyone is welcome.

Before you go and also obtain your preliminary used auto, there are particular queries you have to be prepared to ask. See to it that prior to you purchase, you have all the details you must ensure you do not wind up with a lemon or a car you are just not pleased with. Below are a couple of factors you will definitely intend to ensure to learn prior to buying a used auto:
Know your price variety. To determine the rate range for your new lorry, you have to remember to factor in certificate plates, registration for the car, tax commitments and also insurance policy coverage prices. A large amount of these expenses varies relying on the age and also kind of lorry you drive. Another indicate think of is that if you go out along with have a look at cars that are not within your collection budget plan, you will definitely make the cars you could pay for light in contrast. Also, to get the cars and truck you want, you could sacrifice top quality in addition to wind up with an auto that does not run virtually in addition to one that was within your fixed cost variety.
Take a look at a minimum of 10 numerous cars that drop within your rate range before choosing. Take a buddy or relative that is knowledgeable worrying cars to look at them and also test drive each cars and truck. They will absolutely find things that might or else be lost out on by you or an automobile acquiring beginner. Test drives your leading 3 once again. Ensure you ask any sort of as well as all questions you might have concerning the lorry, regardless of how silly they could show up. Inquiring about the amount of previous owners there were, if it has actually been in any kind of kind of incidents and also what the damages was, have any kind of huge parts been changed or rebuilder, has actually any person smoked in the vehicle, or anything else you need to know is a fair questions.
Do your study. Just recognizing the value of the car you are interested in is inadequate. Still look into heaven publication well worth; nonetheless also uncover normal upkeep difficulties with cars that are that make, layout and also year. Have a look at the used cars on the automobile you are considering buying to earn sure it was properly maintained in addition to not in any type of sort of major mishaps.

Why Metal Roofing Might Be Right For You
It's always good to do your research before buying something. Sometimes that can be time-consuming, though. It's nice when the information is already put together. Metal roofs offer a host of benefits to accommodate many needs. Here's a basic overview of the perks when installing metal roofing:
Durable with long life-span:
This is the greatest allure of metal roofs; when installed properly they can outlive the building they're put on. They repel water, stand strong against high winds, and easily shed off built-up snow. These roofs are naturally resistant to fire, insects, mildew, and rot. Generally, they will come with long warranties.
They're definitely not the lightest roof material, but compared to tile and concrete tile they're not heavy at all. Generally, metal roofs will come in at about 50-100 pounds per square.
Easy installation:
Nobody likes to wait; with metal roofs you won't have to for long. If there's an emergency and you need a new roof fast, metal roofs are the perfect choice.
Metal roofing material is one of the few types that receives a Class A fire rating, the highest possible. The only time a metal roof won't have this rating is when it's installed on top of another type of roof, but even still it will increase the previous rating.
These encompass the basic benefits to installing a metal roof. Here at DK Haney Roofing, we have expert-level roofers trained and ready for metal roof installation and a host of other services. For more information, please give us a call at (866) 379-4846.

Friday, June 14, 2013 – Slip Sliding Along
Slip Sliding Along
by Sinclair Noe
You will recall that in the final week of May, I told you we had hit the sell signal for the "Sell in May" strategy. You're welcome. Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.
For the week, the Dow fell 1.2 percent, the S&P 500 lost 1 percent, and the Nasdaq slid 1.3 percent. All three US stock indexes ended Friday's session with their third week of losses out of the past four.
Oil struck a nine-month high. Oil has been trading in a tight range between $90 and $97 for more than a month, and it was just a matter of time till it made some sort of move; it was a breakout. This appears to be a war premium, what with concerns about US intervention in Syria. Syria is not a key oil supplier, but the region is.
The University of Michigan and Thomson Reuters's consumer-sentiment index fell to a preliminary June reading of 82.7 from a final May reading of 84.5. Aside from its interest as an economic indicator, the sentiment data grabbed headlines this week with reports that Thomson Reuters gives data to select subscribers early. People are gloomy. We didn't need a early indicator from Rueters for that. The sentiment report is another nail in the coffin of the Federal Reserve tapering quantitative easing in the near term
The International Monetary Fund has issued its annual economic check-up and forecast for the US. the IMF forecast economic growth would be a sluggish 1.9 percent this year. The IMF estimates growth would be as much as 1.75 percentage points higher if not for a rush to cut the government's budget deficit.
The IMF cut its outlook for economic growth in 2014 to 2.7 percent, below its 3 percent forecast published in April. The Fund said in April it still assumed the deep government spending cuts would be repealed, but it had now dropped that assumption.
Now, they are merely urging the repeal of government spending cuts. The IMF report said: The deficit reduction in 2013 has been excessively rapid and ill-designed. These cuts should be replaced with a back-loaded mix of entitlement savings and new revenues. The IMF warned cuts to education, science and infrastructure spending could reduce potential growth. They also suggest the Federal Reserve should put off tapering, but they should try to figure out some sort of exit from QE for later down the road.
Next week the Federal Reserve FOMC will meet to figure out monetary policy. We'll parse the statement for any tell-tale whatever. While the Federal Reserve's QE to infinity and beyond has not been successful, or at least not as successful as hoped, it would be very bad indeed if the Fed were to seriously talk about taking it away. Just talking about hiking rates is almost like hiking rates, and higher rates will be a damper on economic growth and might even have a few other undesirable consequences.
Anyone remotely attentive to interest rates has probably refinanced, maybe more than once. Refi's are not a strong source of stimulus, but they do add money in consumers' pockets. So, we could expect a slight hit to consumer spending.
Further, rate increases would have an unpleasant repercussion on the Euro-zone. Government bonds have recently taken a hit around the world, now that investors are preparing for the possible end of central banks' boundless economic stimulus. And those bonds of the weakest euro-zone countries have shown some of the biggest drops. Greek, Spanish, and Italian bonds have all jumped in the past few weeks. The spread, or the amount of additional yield investors demand, above that paid by benchmark Germany, has also risen over the past month or so.
The Japanese stock market plunged 6.4 percent Thursday. The sell-off, part of a 21 percent fall over the past three weeks, was only the most visible sign of the growing volatility in global stock, bond, and currency markets, rooted in fears that any letup in asset purchases by the Fed could trigger a global financial collapse. Fears that the Fed would draw down its quantitative easing program has also caused emerging market currencies to plunge in value. Over the past three months, the Brazilian real has fallen 8 percent against the dollar, the Indian rupee has fallen 6.8 percent, and the Australian dollar has fallen 7.7 percent.
Yesterday, the World Bank cut its growth estimate for the Chinese economy in 2013 to 7.7 percent, down from 8.4 percent, and warned of the potential for a "sharp" slowdown of the Chinese economy. The report noted the "possibility that high investment rates prove unsustainable, provoking a disorderly unwinding and sharp economic slowdown."
Earlier this month, HSBC said that its index of manufacturing activity in China fell to 49.2 in May, the lowest level in eight months, and significantly lower than the reading of 50 that indicates the point between contraction and expansion.
And then, any scaling back or tapering off of bond and mortgage purchases would have to find alternate buyers in the bond market. They don't exist. The banks won't step in. The FDIC has already warned that higher rates would have serious consequences for US banks; the FDIC was so alarmed they begged banks to start scrutinizing their balance sheets in readiness for the day. Low rates have caused a margin squeeze for banks; they can usually pull out a little bigger profit margin when rates are higher, but the low rates have also pushed many banks to do what typical investors do – chase yield to boost earnings; and that could potentially create big losses if rates rise quickly. If you'd like an example, just refer back in 1994 when Greenspan hiked rates without so much as a "thank you, please".
If the Fed really wants to see a bond bubble pop; they can just keep talking about taper. And the stock market in the US has been floating on QE gases. US stocks have more than doubled since their low point in early 2009. Yet since 2010, the US economy has created an average of only 162,000 jobs per month, lower even than the 166,000 average monthly growth rate of the US working-age population.
The only thing sustaining the dizzying rise in stock values, amid a disastrous real economic situation, is the vast infusion of cash into financial markets by central banks, coupled with global austerity programs that have drastically slashed wages and swelled corporate profits.
Last month, Gillian Tett wrote in the Financial Times, "While the flood of central bank liquidity is enabling the system to absorb small shocks, it is also masking a host of internal contradictions and fragilities that could surface if a shock hits. Or… precisely because central banks are trying to pursue stability at all costs, the potential for a future violent instability is rising apace; 'tail risk,' as statisticians say, is growing."
Put more plainly, Tett is warning that even as the vast expansion of credit by central banks has partially masked the deepening economic contradictions in the global financial system, it has paved the way for a financial collapse on or exceeding the scale of the 2008 crash.
Maybe the Fed should have spent more time talking about the need for more fiscal stimulus and arguing against deficit scare mongering.
Also, next week, the G-8 is meeting in Northern Ireland, a little place known as Potemkin Village. They will discuss tax evasion. Part of the difficulty with addressing tax evasion is that so much of it is legal, and what isn't legal is subject to revisions by big corporations with powerful lobbyists. Take for example the big companies aligned the the Campaign to Fix the Debt. They're trying to get the politicians to fix the debt, or at least to lower their tax debt, through something known as a territorial tax system, which basically involves switching to a system of paying US taxes only on what they earn domestically. Multinationals are now taxed on profits wherever they're made; at least in theory. A switch to a territorial tax system would save companies like GE and Microsoft and Merck, somewhere in the neighborhood of $173 billion.
Fix the Debt was co-founded by former Clinton White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles and former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson. The idea is to stabilize and cut the debt, in part through comprehensive tax reform, or apparently to give big tax breaks to big corporations. If you can figure out how this would reduce the debt, let me know.

AST 1533 - The Battle Against the Gu Clan
Qing Shui didn't regard Gu Yelong who was charging towards him as a threat. Though Qing Shui might have had his attention in the younger generations of warriors and that Gu Yelong might have been one of the outstanding warriors among the generations in the Gu Clan, he was only considered a decent one. There was still a huge gap between him and Qing Shui or Qin Qing.
Qing Shui was standing still while Gu Yelong held his long sword in his hand. Somehow, Qing Shui kept feeling that Gu Yelong was holding the sword just to show off.
Taichi Cloud Hands!
Qing Shui didn't move, yet he managed to avoid Gu Yelong's sword. He immediately extended his hand and grabbed Gu Yelong's neck. The longsword dropped out of his hand and down the arena, making a loud and clear noise.
It only took one move and Qing Shui had already managed to choke the opponent. He held him up in mid-air as Gu Yelong was struggling. Everyone could tell that if Qing Shui had wanted it, he could have killed him with ease.
Before this, Gu Yelong was really embarrassed already. And now, with just one move, he was being raised up in the air like a struggling chicken by a man younger than him. The humiliation which he received was more than enough to kill him.
"Answer me. Why do you want to dig your own grave so badly? Is it because you think that I am weak enough to bully? Why would the Gu Clan have a useless brat like you..."
Qing Shui's voice was very loud and clear. Any smart person would know at whom his words were directed at. The faces of a lot of people from the Gu Clan looked totally red. News about Gu Yelong was passed around very quickly.
Gu Yelong was well-known in Qin King City for being a playboy. How could he possibly endure it when people found out that a playboy like him couldn't perform the most basic sexual intercourse? The entire Gu Clan had completely lost its face.
"Assistant, he lost."
Following that voice, Qing Shui saw a man standing at a spot not far away from him. Qing Shui didn't bother looking at the man and said, "Why were you being so loud? That scared me and almost made me pinch him to death."
Qing Shui's words revealed how much he despised their Clan. Pinched to death… Gu Clan… Only small things like ants would be pinched to death. Everyone was able to figure out that Qing Shui was describing the Gu Clan as trash.
"You… You… He already lost, let me fight on his behalf!" Another man looked really furious. However, he sounded calm by the time he finished his sentence.
At this moment, Qing Shui lifted up his head and moved his sight towards the man. At the same time, he tossed Gu Yelong out of the arena.
The man looked middle-aged. He had a well-structured face. The only problem was that his nose and eyes seemed a bit sharp, making his entire face look a bit gloomy and fierce. Usually, people with this look weren't easy to work with.
"Don't come out and humiliate yourself. You are not strong enough to face me." Qing Shui claimed slowly.
Indeed, the man was incapable. However, the fact that Qing Shui said it out loud while adding his confidence made the man feel as if he was already admitting defeat before he even started fighting. This was what people would call dominance.
"You lost." Qing Shui repeated once again.
The man moved his brows. After that, a silvery white long spear appeared in his hand. The tip of the spear was sharp and thin. It was giving out blue light. The first impression people would have from seeing it was that it contained poison.
Indeed, it contained poison. Qing Shui didn't express any emotions from seeing the opponent's poisonous weapon. However, deep down, he had already made up his mind that his opponent was done for.
Qing Shui would never go easy on the people who intended to kill him. He took out the Golden Battle Halberd. He didn't feel like dragging on the fight because he wanted to crush the Gu Clan's faith from the battles.
Silver Spear Soul Annihilation!
It was a silvery white long spear. Even during daytime, the blue colored tip could still be seen as being really bright. It was just like a smaller version of a sun, so eye-piercing. It charged its way towards Qing Shui very fiercely.
Qing Shui casually swung his Golden Battle Halberd.
On the fifth strike, the man was run through. The man's silver spear immediately broke in half. While the opponent was still frozen in shock, Qing Shui shot the Golden Battle Halberd towards his chest.
The man spurted out fresh blood and dropped down. Qing Shui had his limits. The man wouldn't be able to live for more than three days. In Qing Shui's view, he must never be soft with evil people.
Now, the Gu Clan was incensed. Usually, this kind of challenges would last for a long time. The reason being that the warriors who represented their clan at the beginning would usually be the weak ones. This was a kind of culture and also a way of testing their opponents.
However, on Qin King Manor's side, Qing Shui went up right away. Though he might be young, his strength wasn't something which could be compared to those from his generation. Thus, they skipped through the entire process and it would seem just as if they had already entered the final stage of the challenge.
It appeared that no one was able to believe what they just saw. The Gu Clan was still testing Qing Shui. As of now, they felt that it was an embarrassment to send out the experts from their clan. The reason being that Qing Shui was a young man and that he had good relationships only with the juniors from Qin King Manor.
Just like this, after Qing Shui battled for almost ten rounds, the Gu Clan finally realized the mistake they had made. Indeed, this young man couldn't be compared to normal juniors. This time, one of the elders was sent out to the arena.
"I heard that Qing Shui is Miss Qin Qing's fiance."
"Fairy Qin's heart has also been moved. Before this, I used to think that she would stay single her whole life. I never thought for someone to be able to match up to her in this world.
"That trash, Gu Yelong. To think that he is still thinking of going after Fairy Qin… He used to always be so arrogant… Who would have expected him to be a person who couldn't even get erect. Compared to him, I feel that even a beggar would live a happier life than him."
"Young man, you are indeed a bold one."
The person who went up the arena this time was an old man. There wasn't even one wrinkle on his face. Both of his eyes looked very lively. However, his brows were already snow white in color. They were hanging all the way down to his shoulders.
"Old man, what do you mean by that?" Qing Shui asked even though he knew full well what the old man was referring to. He knew for sure that the old man was very old.
"Young man, you won't be able to handle the consequences once you go over the line with the things you do. You are too young, you have no sense of propriety." The old man calmly looked at Qing Shui. Deep down, he actually really admired this young man. The only unfortunate thing was that he was an enemy of the Gu Clan.
Qing Shui shook his head, "Does the Gu Clan have it then? At times, when a person accuses another of being stupid, they are usually unaware that they, themselves, are the stupid ones."
The old man looked at Qing Shui with a serious expression, "Since you are so confident with yourself, I shall teach you just how big the gap is between you and me."
"I will wait for you!" Qing Shui smiled and said.
Heavy Mountain Fist!
At the moment when the old man finished speaking, he thrust out his fist towards Qing Shui.
At the instant the old man's figure moved, the aura in the surroundings gathered up together at a really fast speed. They swiftly condensed and formed an enormous mountain figure on the old man's fist.
The huge fist afterimage smashed its way towards Qing Shui. Now, Qing Shui finally understood why the old man was so confident. He was strong enough to do so.
Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines!
Qing Shui immediately shot out the Bloodthirsty Demonic Vines to block the enormous fist.
Qing Shui may not know if the opponent's Heavy Mountain Fist belonged to the earth element. He still wanted to give it a try.
After a loud explosion, the old man disappeared. He lifted up his fist and this time, his entire fist color turned gold as he thrust it towards Qing Shui.
Qing Shui brightened up his eyes. To think that it was the combination of the earth and metal elements. Basically, this technique was no longer under the influence of the other five elements. However, it was able to counter against the rest of them.
Nine Continents Mountain!
Qing Shui summoned the Nine Continents Mountain. After that, he swung his hand and unleashed the Art of Pursuing.
The old man who felt his speed reduced was stunned. But very quickly, he calmed down. Naturally, for this young man to be so arrogant, he definitely had his own sure-kill move. Techniques which could reduce an opponent's speed were indeed very fearsome. Speed meant everything. Without it, a warrior would simply be helpless. If a warrior failed to hurt his opponent, it would be useless no matter how much power his attack contained.
Qing Shui smiled and released his move.
Emperor's Qi!
He managed to reduce the opponent's overall strength by 20%. As for his speed, it got reduced by 40%, which was very fatal. Originally, Qing Shui never expected to do it so fast. By now, he had managed to reduce almost half of the speed of his opponent. The winner had already been decided.
Qing Shui had tons of sure-kill techniques at his disposal. Hence, he wanted to fight this battle slowly. He wanted to let Gu Clan realize how stupid it was for them to organize this challenge.
As this happened, the old man was stunned. If it was the things from before, he was still able to accept a 20% reduction in speed. He thought that this would be Qing Shui's strongest sure-kill technique. But now, his overall ability dropped down by 20% as well. Furthermore, it stacked with the previous 20% drop in his speed as well.
20% of strength and 40% of speed…
Qing Shui swung his Golden Battle Halberd while unleashing his Nine Palace Steps to make his way towards the old man.
This time, the old man had finally come to realize how it felt to be suppressed to the point he couldn't even retaliate. It's not that he wasn't strong enough, it's just that he was unable to get a grasp on where his opponent was. He was not used to the sudden drop in speed. Against the Golden Battle Halberd, he got pierced twice. Luckily, he managed to avoid the fatal areas. Though his speed was greatly reduced, he was still able to withstand the attacks.
By now, the old man's speed was once again reduced by another 20%. This phenomenon immediately made him felt like surrendering. But he decided not to do so because he felt that he couldn't afford to lose face in front of this man. Despite all that, he couldn't even unleash his Sure-kill Heavenly Technique.
The old man got careless and was struck in his shoulder. Though his shoulder wasn't penetrated, he had still been injured and spurted out fresh blood. The old man used his momentum and retreated quickly.
Naturally, Qing Shui wouldn't let his opponent go so easily. He immediately followed after him like a shadow.
Golden Earth Primordial Dragon Explosion!
The old man thrust out both of his fists. The yellow colored earth energy started gathering up from the surroundings like a solid substance. It was gathering up towards Qing Shui.
This ability was a lot more fearsome than those boiling metal water. As soon as Qing Shui spotted it, he already realized that his movement had been slowed down. He was already in the center of these energies. It felt just like when an ordinary person dropped down into a swamp, unable to move even a single step.
The torments brought upon by these energies were still something which Qing Shui could withstand. However, he was aware that the old man would still have more moves up his sleeves. By the time he figured it out, it would most likely be too late. Qing Shui
was left with no choice but to temporarily enter the realm.
By now, no one from the outside was able to see what was going on.
Ever since reaching its eighth grade, Qing Shui was able to enter and exit the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal within a very short time span. Though it might not be instantaneous, it took him only a few blinks to enter the realm.
Very quickly, Qing Shui saw the energies from before gathering together to form a huge sphere. The golden yellow and earthen yellow colors were twisting around each other and giving out water-like lusters. They were spinning constantly, condensing with each other and solidifying into a sphere.
It was a huge explosion, triggered with the golden spheres at the center. The five elements disappeared. The sun, moon, and stars appeared like the pictures on the television screen from his previous incarnation. But very quickly, the place quieted down again.
At the moment when the entire area quieted down, another person appeared around the area.
Qing Shui!
Qing Shui was standing there in perfect shape. Prior to this, when Qing Shui was engulfed by the exploding spheres, almost everyone thought that Qing Shui would have been done for.
Qin Qing was right below the arena. For a few times, she felt the urge to charge forward. However, rules were rules, and she mustn't break them. Furthermore, it's was already useless for him to forfeit the match now. At that instant, the only thing in her thought was for him to be alive. So long as he lived, she was willing to agree to any of his requests.
At the instant when the explosion occurred, she felt as if her heart had broken into pieces. Though she might know that Qing Shui was really strong, the Golden Earth Old Demon opposite him was also not someone to be taken lightly of with his fearsome strength.
At the moment when she saw Qing Shui standing there in perfect shape, both her eyes teared up. Suddenly, she came to the realization about how much the man meant in her heart. She even began to think that if Qing Shui died, she would feel as if her heart had died as well.

d'Amico in Talks to Sell Three More Ships
Product tanker shipping company d'Amico International Shipping (DIS) is in talks to dispose of three more tankers, the company's Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Carlos Balestra di Mottola, said in the shipowner's financial report for the first quarter of the year.
The announcement comes following the disposal of two medium range product tankers to Monaco-based ship management firm Sea World Management for USD 13.5 million each, earlier this year.
"Three further vessels are currently under sale negotiations and their disposal is expected to generate net cash in excess of USD 15 million during the current year," Balestra di Mottola said.
"These deals together with the share capital increase we recently announced will considerably strengthen our balance sheet and provide the required resources for our company to complete its long-term investment plan."
For the first quarter of 2017, the company booked a net profit of USD 1.8 million, down from USD 7.2 million in Q1 of 2016. DIS said that the variance compared to the previous year is almost entirely due to the higher spot rates in the first three months of 2016.
However, d'Amico's EBITDA reached USD 16.5 million, which the company claims is USD 1.7 million higher than the EBITDA achieved in the previous six months.
The positive result was ascribed to an improving product tanker market, which led DIS to increase its daily spot average by over 32% (or USD 3,200/day) at USD 13,363 relative to the average of the second half of last year.
"At the same time, DIS' good level of time-charter coverage (41% at USD 15,908/day), allowed us to achieve quite of a satisfactory total daily TCE average of USD 14,412 in the quarter," Marco Fiori, the company's Chief Executive Officer, noted.
"We maintain our positive outlook on the product tanker market and on its very solid fundamentals," he added, referring to the currently low MR orderbook and expected increase of the world's oil product demand in the next few years, outpacing supply growth.
" In this context, as I have been saying in the past I think our company is very well positioned to benefit from the expected market recovery."
DIS is scheduled to take delivery of six LR1s between Q4'17 and Q4'18, for which the remaining CAPEX amounts to USD 197.3 million.
However, almost 70 percent of the total CAPEX will be financed with a bank debt DIS said it had already secured, totaling in USD 136.5 million.

PARKING bosses were caught out when an eagle-eyed motorist spotted an out-of-date tax disc on one of their company vehicles.
An M.E.N. reader spotted the car at the junction of South King Street and Cross Street when he went to pay a fine at the nearby offices of Control Plus.
The white Vauxhall Astra was marked with the Control Plus and the council's logo, and displayed a disc which expired at the end of last month.
Wardens - who can issue tickets to people without valid tax discs - walked past in uniform and smoked cigarettes outside their workplace.
The witness, who didn't want to be named, said: "As soon as I saw the car I thought, right, I've got you. I've had a lot of problems with this firm.
"They don't do a proper job of controlling the flow of parking in this city - they're only interested in collecting fines from people."
When the M.E.N. phoned Control Plus to point out it was breaking the law, a spokesman for the company said: "We were advised of the situation earlier today and it has now been rectified."
Anyone caught without a valid tax disc, no matter how recently out of date it may be, could have their vehicle clamped and receive a maximum fine of £1,000. Persistent offenders face having their vehicles impounded and scrapped.
Manchester is the parking ticket capital. Last month it was revealed Control Plus, who have been slammed for working to bonuses and quotas, had their £3m contract renewed - on condition their 80 wardens attended "charm school" to give their image a makeover.
In May, a Control Plus employee reeled off 100 £40 parking tickets in the city centre - even though it was a bank holiday. In June of last year, traffic wardens booked motorists during Jubilee celebrations, even though they had bought tickets at the advertised rate.
In April, one warden tore a ticket from his windscreen after being booked during his lunch break and ordered a trainee to cancel the ticket.
Last January, another cheating traffic boss used his mother's disabled badge and one warden famously slapped a ticket on a bus at a bus stop.

Anti-Male Bias
Thanks to the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, the field of "masculinities studies" has gained newfound exposure. Dr. Paul Nathanson, religious studies researcher at McGill University, uses an extensive appendix of anti-male bias in film, television, and even greeting cards to show that in the past ten years, the pendulum has swung too far - arguing that we now live in an atmosphere that discriminates against men. Dr. Nathanson emphasizes a need to understand a profound problem that our society must face: the increasing inability of boys and men to create a healthy collective identity.
