Amazing. Yet another Obama appointee apparently has tax problems. Pardon me, usher, but I think Ive seen this movie before.
This time its White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. It appears that the former congressman found a handy way to save money. Most members of Congress find themselves having to support two households one in their home district, and one in or around DC. Some members, in the past, have ended up sharing apartments or town houses. Emanuel took that one step further: he moved into the home of his colleague, Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), staying there for five years. Rent-free.
To most people, this is imputed income non-financial gifts or compensation that should be reported to the IRS. Emanuel and DeLauro defend their conduct by saying that House ethics rules permit hospitality between colleagues.
Apparently they are not familiar with the old aphorism that guests, like fish, start to smell after three days.
And no, there was no impropriety or hanky-panky going on. Representative DeLauro is happily married to one Stan Greenberg. Mr. Greenberg, by the way, is not a lobbyist. No, hes the next best thing in DC hes a pollster. And, by wild coincidence, Greenbergs polling company (Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research) lists both Emanuel and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (which Emanuel headed) as clients.
Lets see a Democratic representative gets free housing from a pollster who enjoys some very lucrative contracts from both that representative and a very influential group said representative heads up? Why, Id never even suggest some kind of a quid pro quo arrangement.
All through his campaign, Obama and his surrogates touted his great judgment and his commitment to change and transparency. Yet more and more of his nominees keep getting exposed for their ethical lapses, especially in the area of doing their patriotic duty (as Vice President Biden puts it) and paying their fair share of taxes.
There are numerous explanations for this pattern of behavior, but heres a theory thats becoming less laughable: There simply arent enough Democrats who are both competent and honest to fill all the vacancies in Obamas administration
Scum the bunch of them.
Rahmbo, crooked? Say it ain't so.
Guilty! And, just like the old Soviet NKVD, no picture necessary to convict.
bump...and what YOU said!
Honestly, I can't say this is a big deal. The guy is already paying taxes on one house (presumably), he's got to pay more taxes on another? I suppose it would be far less egregious if he wasn't pushing for higher taxes on all of us to support their socialism, but I imagine if I were in his place I might be tempted to do the same.
Please, please, PLEASE - NO PICTURES of Rosa DiLauro.
The only Change Obama has brought to DC is now the corruption is bigger and bolder.

Shauna Daly, professional dirt digger hired as White House councel research director
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel got free housing from House rep (D) Rosa DeLauro for 5 years . DeLauro is married to Stan Greenberg; a pollster (Quinlin Rosner Research) with lucrative contracts from both that representatives.
Maybe Rahm had an affair with DeLauro, and is that ever a disgusting thought.
I think I am going to start sending and IOU to the government.
"The List" ping
... so if a Boy Scout helps an old lady across the street, should she report as income the cost of hiring a guide to preform the same task for her as the Scout provided free of charge?
you got to watch this, remember Obama and McCain supported this behavior, the stupidity of it alll and it's happening again.
Rep. Kanjorski: $550 Billion Disappeared in "Electronic Run On the Banks"
Some Democrat Pigz are morez equals than other pigz....
Taxes are for LITLLE PEOPLE to pay, not important Democrats. HOW DARE YOU even bring up such a thing!!
I shall have to report you to the Thought Police now....
Well, I'm certainly no expert here, just another small business taxpayer. My guess is that the IRS would rule that the value of the housing is income to Emanuel.
I would also imagine that both Emanuel and DeLauro know this.
Hmmm.... Emanuel, a highly placed Representative and chair of the DNC. They have dozens of pollsters to choose from. They use one only, giving that pollster millions of dollars over the years. And that pollster lets you live in his house for free for five years.
OK, I'm sure there would be no problem at your office if you were in charge of selecting, hiring, and firing the PR company you use. And by the way, the person you use also happens to let you live in their house for free for half a decade.
No, there's NO hint of impropriety at all! No hint of financial kickback. None whatsoever...
Rahm's home in Chicago is not on the tax roles either. It is owned by a not for profit "foundation" and he pays rent.
So.... when do "we the people" rise up in revolt?
There is a difference between zionism and judism. Zionist claim judism yet the jews against zionism don't. Look up Rev 2:9 and Rev 3:9 and you will see that there are those that claim they are jews and are not. Money is the sword in this battle and we are being played like a fiddle.
The point is that legislators that live the dual-state life pay for taxes in both states. Granted while in DC some obviously rent and pay taxes through embedded fees the landlord eventually pays out. Yet the reps that buy permanent homes seem to make an investment that they will not be leaving even if booted out of office - they just become lobbyists.
Emmanuel is avoiding any taxes/fees by living with a "bud" and yet he could very well be paying his "bud" half the rent which would seem to be all fine and good and yet Emmanuel doesn't declare such an arrangement. Seems to me he is gaming the system by avoiding any residency costs that others are required to pay while at the same time seeming to be having potential conflicts of interest with the very people he is living with.
By the way I agree that this shouldn't be an issue as far as the residency requirement goes but the fact is it is the law and so Emmanuel should not be able to flaunt it.
Can you imagine the spawn that union would produce? We could have a new horror movie: Rosa's Baby.
5 years at $1400 a month is $84,000 in untaxed income. That's a big deal to the tune of around $18,000 in taxes he owes.
That's just a rough estimate.
I think I also read somewhere that the house Rahm lives in in his home district is owned by a charitable corporation, The Rahm and (Mrs.?) Emmanuel Foundation. So, no property taxes, either.
However, the free use of lodging from an employer is excluded from gross income under Section 119 if the lodging is for the employer's convenience and the employee is required to accept the lodging as a condition of emplpyment.
It would not be a gift if the free rent were payment for something. For example, if a person said, if you overhaul my car, you can have free rent for six months, the fair market value of the free rent would be included in gross income under Section 61(a) as payment for the overhaul services rendered.
That is a long list. It would be great to add links to these.
I am eventually going to attempt to do that. I am hoping to have a website up with the list and links. It will become much to long to post at FR.
I wonder if he pays market value?
-Or, for example if it were payment for say... millions of dollars worth of polling business by... oh maybe... the Democratic party, ACORN, and a certain candidate running for national office.
Nachum: This list is great! Where did you get it ?Good job! Gill
I began to compile the list on the first days in office. There was so much of this during Klinton, that I wanted to keep a running tab on the new president from day one.
No, there is no monetary value to crossing the street.
You missed the cost of hiring someone for mobilty assistance.
Thanks Nachum! This is mind blowing and only three weeks!! Please keep it up, maybe America will wake up before it is too late. Gill
I agree. This is no different than Daschle getting a car and driver to use. Rahm is getting a house to use.
We need to be careful about this "imputed income".
There was some talk in Congress (clearly a pro-union thug idea) that if you did labor in your own home, it was "imputed income" because you wouldn't be paying for that labor to be done by someone else. Yes, the twisted mind of a liberal.

The Eiffel tower was very nearly demolished in 1909. It was saved by its use as a telecommunication tower. The Eiffel tower is now one of the most famous buildings in the world and welcomes 5.5 millions visitors each year. Probably the most shot triangle in the world, right?

Hmph. This has been in beta for a while, and there's not a lot apparently new here. There's been a crime mapping website for quite a while, in fact (http://www.met.police.uk/crimefigures/ for at least two years, although with practically zero publicity).
What's new:
a) the publicity
b) it aggregates three kinds of common crime (burglary, robbery and vehicle crime) into a kind of uber-crime group. I've no idea why.
c) it goes down to sub-ward level instead of ward
d) apart from not separating out the crimes it does include, it doesn't include a large number of high-profile crimes, including homicide, rape, sexual offences, gun crime, racist and homophobic crime which the older site includes at borough level, and which completely gives the game away about murder in London being specific to particular areas. Even at ward level the older site has far better coverage, for instance it tells me that violence against the person is marginally more round my way.
e) it uses snazzy Web 2.0 mappy stuff.
What's the same:
a) the stats are virtually meaningless in many cases, and what meaning there is in them requires at least a nodding acquaintance with statistics.
b) crime is nevertheless still going down, according to them.
In fact, the game is given away a bit, since the older site is linked as 'Detailed Crime Figures' off the new one.
All in all, it's a Fisher-Price presentation of data that were already publicly available and which a half-decent Perl or Python hacker could have conjured into something equivalent for rather less than £210k. Still, it's pretty, and tells me I apparently live in a no-crime area. The only way is up.

I had this wonderful shot of the Eiffel Tower by night. It was brilliant. So good that I didn't have to make any adjustment. Then, someone told me that the light display of the tower is copyrighted and you cannot sell photos of it... So, to comply with the law, here it is, but censored.

The company logo should look professional (for investors), but convey a sense of fun at the same time (since its products will be aimed at kids, beginning with 10-year olds).
Please review the attached sketch for the Bobber Interactive logo. It is a fishing metaphor and I envision a black silhouette of a Dad and son sitting far in the background on a dock or fishing boat, just having cast a line into the foreground where you see a classic red and white Bobber just having splashed down into the water. The Bobber itself could contain the "B" in "Bobber". We see the ripples beginning to cascade outward. This should help set the direction for what it looks like. It will be on a Splash page for the company website, as well as needs to be appropriate (i.e., simple) for a business card, stationary, etc. See attached sketch for an example.

Not a good result for SKC
Kolarov's goal was pure class
I heard BR was looking at him...We definately need wingers thats for sure.
This was a thread bare squad...taking by Ghana to the Far East...Nonetheless I expected better. Good job by the Japanese...
Lol no Neuer???
Nobody said anything about the kit helping the team perform better. Plus if anyone knew anything about LFC they know that the midfield and foward positions are ...
I like it. I was worried warrior wouldnt take hold of the mantle well enough, but they have done well imo.

I Feel A Flutter
The Vr4.5 is a strong vibrator that offers a lovely fluttering sensation on the clit. It's super powerful and rumbly - almost too much for me at times. That's saying something! On the downside it doesn't fit my anatomy just right and I can't apply my much loved pressure with it. I also really wish Jopen would ramp up their packaging, but that's just me being weird.Published:
Flutter sensation in clit arm, Very powerful, Rumbly vibrations in shaft, Improved silicone
Won't fit all anatomies, Lackluster packaging, Cannot apply pressure
I wasn't sure if the flutter effect of the Vr4.5 would be to my liking as my preference tends to be for pressure. The power of the Vr4.5 won me over. There's a few things that caused some issues, so my official rating would be a 4.5 on this one, but I'll round up on it rather than down because I think it's good enough to do so.

The design concept of the Puzzle Table was inspired by sliding puzzles. Apparently, designer Hsien Chang came up with the idea so that users have better access to what's in their desk (all you have to do is move the dividers on the desk). The grids can be designated to store different items according to the users' needs of storage and usage. As someone who works on a open desk without any shelves I love the idea of having sorting space on my desktop.

Norwich midfielder Andrew Surman does not want the positive start to the season to be wasted by similar performances as the 3-0 defeat at Sunderland.
"All of the good work we've done is going to count for nothing if we don't stay up at the end of the season."
Despite having the greater share of possession against Martin O'Neill's side, the Canaries carried little threat in the final third of the pitch.
"We've never really underestimated the task that we've got. We never take where we are for granted," said the 25-year-old.
"We've got to try to put it behind us and look forward to Saturday and the rest of the season as well and try and make sure it doesn't happen again.
"There's still 15 games of the season left. Sometimes games like this happen. It's very disappointing but you've got to move on.
"The way we have played this season we've set a standard and we didn't really get anywhere near that."
"We've only got 29 points and we need perhaps another 10 to stay up," Surman told BBC Radio Norfolk.

Even after his death, comedian George Carlin remains one of the most well-loved and respected comedians of all time. While preparing for his 12th HBO special, he spoke with stand-up comic and Daytime Emmy Award-winning writer and producer of The Rosie O'Donnell Show Judy Gold about his life and career. Carlin displays his usual irreverent and sharp intelligence as he talks about hypocrisy and the power people inadvertently assign to words, explaining his famous "Seven Dirty Words" routine in detail. Carlin also reminisces about the start of his career and how his trouble with the IRS forced him to work harder on his shows and improve his writing.

"Carlin is always fun"
Love these candid interviews. He was always so open about his career, life and fears. Great listen!
I have MS and LD and make spelling and grammar mistakes, please forgive the handicap.
"A nice interview with George Carlin"
I enjoyed listening to George Carlin answer question about his stand up and ablums humor, his tours etc, It was a good history on Carlin told by Carlin.
I felt like Gold controled too much of the interview no letting Carlin give really long answers to stories in his life.
Too short, I really wanted more, wanted more of his comedy. Or at least more of his history, I felt I got very little of any of those thing.
Yes and NO, I enjoyed listening George Carlin answer the question, but it was a little to little and I was left wanting more.
It didn't really satify all my question about George Carlin, I have heard better interviews of him before which have made me jaded.
"Insightful Interview - No big laughs"
He's always great. You'll learn a ,lot .Fine sound quality. These sometimes don't sound clear, but this does.
"George Was Amazing"
If I could edit out Judy Gold and just listen to George Carlin, I would listen to this again.Ms. Gold's interview style was overbearing and interrupting. I was fascinated with his early education in a Catholic parochial school. Who knew there were schools ahead of their time in the 40's?
George Carlin
Judy brought nothing to the experience. Although she did have a few good questions.
It's not easy being a comedian.
"Carlin Overcomes..."
Terrific stuff from the much-missed Carlin. Erudite, funny and to the point. Don't miss this, despite the inadequacies of the interviewer.
How do people pick these things? A comic interviewing another (much more accomplished) comic just does't work. Rote questions, no follow-ups to provocative answers, over-laughing...what I wouldn't give to have somebody like Brian Lamb from C-SPAN's excellent Q&A program have taken a crack at the great George.
"Laugh out comedy"
Great audio to listen to for long or short trip. Very orginal and laugh your heart out.
"Couldn't finish it"
For some reason I was expecting humor not autobiography. Maybe it was my mood but I simply couldn't finish this. Too boring.

New E34 540i Owner - What is this part?
1 Attachment(s)
Hi, just purchased a 95 E34 540i. Overall it needs work but I look forward to fixing it up.
This forum has been a wealth of information. However, I can't seem to find what the heck is this? Your input is much appreciated. I am using a pic from the web but I am missing this part. Any clue what it is called so I can buy it off ebay? |
Go here and look at item #5 "cover" on the diagram. It's the switch panel for the sunroof.
http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...70&hg=51&fg=40 |
Thanks....now just gotta find one.
Much appreciated |
When you find the part # just copy and paste it to ecstuning.com, ebmwparts.com, or imbmwparts.com
Thanks! That was very helpful. Just placed my order.
What the fuzzy dice???
I'm just messin. But seriously... Some of those covers are hard to find brand new since some of the colors have gone NLA. You may have to resort to a junkyard, just letting you know. |
I just bought one from the local yard.
$3.00, with the switch. Try Ecology, they will have a bunch of E34's. I call it "Mechanics Univ." Not sure how it goes? The JY is the best place to practice, then you have it wired when you work on your car. Aloha! T Welcome to the club |

Exclusive: Goldman to debut on Twitter - EU leaders to Greece: Please stay ... but - Bain strategy risky for Obama - Dems push equal pay bill
( email@example.com; Twitter: @morningmoneyben)
EXCLUSIVE: GOLDMAN TO DEBUT ON TWITTER - Goldman Sachs, an investment bank long known for its secretive ways and general distaste for public engagement, is about to make a big leap into social media with an official Twitter account. The Goldman Tweets should start flowing by this morning's annual shareholders' meeting. The handle? Don't expect @vampiresquid. The straight-forward @goldmansachs is somewhat more likely. And also don't look for a constant stream of data on CEO Lloyd Blankfein's breakfast choices or President Gary Cohn's daily commute. Instead, expect buttoned down reports on some of Goldman's activities. Hey, even squid need to tread water before they can swim.
Story Continued Below
FIRST LOOK: THE NEVER ENDING EURO CRISIS - Bloomberg's Businesweek cover is a big black circle on a light orange background. "For Euro Crisis Relief" it reads above the circle: "BANG HEAD HERE." Certainly feels like that most days (see below). "As the world economy braces for a possible Greek exit from the euro system, Bloomberg Businessweek dedicates ten pages of the May 28-June 3 issue to an examination of the roots of Europe's debt crisis and the reckoning to come. The cover package includes: Who Lost the Euro?, The Drachma Might Leave Greece (A Lot) Worse Off, Opening Pandora's Bank Vault, and Athens: Fear, Loathing and Plenty of Parking." Image: http://bit.ly/KEkvsW
EU LEADERS TO GREECE: PLEASE STAY ... BUT - Reuters Claire Davenport and Luke Baker in Brussels: "European Union leaders, advised by senior officials to prepare contingency plans in case Greece decides to quit the single currency, urged the country to stay the course on austerity and complete the reforms demanded under its bailout program. After nearly six hours of talks held during an informal dinner, leaders said they were committed to Greece remaining in the euro zone, but it had to stick to its side of the bargain too ...
"'We want Greece to stay in the euro, but we insist that Greece sticks to commitments that it has agreed to,' German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters after a Wednesday evening summit ... dragged long into the night. Three officials told Reuters the instruction to have plans in place for a Greek exit was agreed on Monday during a teleconference of the Eurogroup Working Group (EWG) - experts who work for euro zone finance ministers" http://reut.rs/JWVnjj

WHO IS NEXT AT TREASURY? - NYT's Catherine Rampell rounds up the latest blog chatter on the successor to Tim Geithner, whether in an Obama II or Romney administration: "On the Democratic side, possibilities include Laurence D. Fink of BlackRock ... Erskine Bowles ... Daniel K. Tarullo, a member of the Fed ... and Roger C. Altman, the investment banker. For the Republicans, the front-runners include Robert B. Zoellick, the head of the World Bank; John B. Taylor, the Stanford economist; Glenn Hubbard, the head of Columbia Business School and a Mitt Romney adviser; and Kevin Warsh, a former member of the Fed ... From the Democratic list, though, one prominent name seems missing: Jacob J. Lew, the White House chief of staff. For one, the White House has tended to promote from within, and Mr. Lew is a trusted aide to Mr. Obama ... Rob Portman seems a possibility for a Republican administration ..
WHAT ABOUT WOMEN? - More from Rampell: "Update: Some — well, several — interlocutors have pointed out that we had no women on our list, and that several make formidable candidates. On the Republican side, possible contenders include Carly Fiorina, the former head of Hewlett-Packard, and Meg Whitman, its current chief executive. For the Democrats, first is Lael Brainard, the Treasury under secretary for international affairs ... Another possible candidate is Laura D'Andrea Tyson, the Berkeley economist (and an occasional contributor to this blog). Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, is also mentioned as a dark-horse guess." http://nyti.ms/KAaDy7

EUROPE AGREES ON ... NOTHING - FT's Peter Spiegel and Hugh Carnegy in Brussels: "European leaders put off any decisions on shoring up the region's banks at a late-night summit on Wednesday despite rising concerns that instability in Greece was undermining confidence in the eurozone's financial sector. Instead, the heads of the EU's main institutions were given the task of drawing up proposals for closer fiscal co-ordination in time for another summit next month, including plans that could include a path towards a Europe-wide deposit guarantee scheme and, in the longer term, commonly-backed eurozone bonds. ...
Support appeared to be building for deposit guarantees commonly backed by all 17 eurozone members, which some officials believe are needed to prevent bank runs that could follow a Greek exit from the euro. François Hollande, the new French president attending his first EU summit, said he backed his Italian counterpart, Mario Monti, who has proposed such a plan. Enda Kenny, the Irish prime minister, said there was also 'strong support' for using the eurozone's new €500bn rescue fund to inject capital directly into teetering banks, a proposal opposed by Germany but considered by many as essential for helping cash-strapped sovereigns shore up their financial sectors" http://on.ft.com/KgdvmN
HERE WE GO AGAIN - NYT's Nicholas Kulish and Paul Geitner on pg. A1: "With Greece's membership in the euro zone teetering, fears of bank insolvency rising and Europe's leaders bickering about what to do, the euro crisis is once again intensifying and threatening to undermine fragile growth globally. At a summit meeting ... regional leaders failed to signal any significant new steps to stimulate the sputtering regional economy ... Yet, the urgency for a solution to the region's debt crisis, now in its third year, may never have been greater.
"With international economic monitors warning that the Continent could slide back into recession, Spain has watched its borrowing costs climb to unsustainable levels, as concerns rise about the country's weakened banking sector. Fears continue to grow that it will be difficult to avoid a messy divorce between Greece and the euro zone, with still unpredictable consequences for markets and other struggling European economies, including Spain and Italy"" http://nyti.ms/LG6Mqa
POLITICS BLAST: NO ANCESTRY IMPACT FOR WARREN - POLITICO's David Catanese: "Elizabeth Warren is largely unscathed by the weeks-long controversy surrounding her ancestry, according to a new Suffolk University poll ... The survey shows the Massachusetts Democrat trailing GOP Sen. Scott Brown by a single percentage point, with Brown netting 48 percent to Warren's 47 percent. The result marks a measurable shift toward Warren since the last Suffolk poll in February, which had Brown up 9 points, 49 percent to 40 percent. ... Warren has been ensnared in a round of unflattering stories questioning the credibility of her claim that she is 1/32 Cherokee. ... A plurality of those polled — 49 percent — believe Warren is telling the truth about being part Native American ... More than two-thirds of voters — 69 percent — said Warren's Native American heritage listing is not a significant story, with just 27 percent saying it is." http://bit.ly/Jel4Ib
THOUGHT BUBBLE 1: CHESAPEAKE AS NEW ENRON - Reuters' BreakingViews' Christopher Swann and Robert Cyrann: "Chesapeake Energy ... seems to have missed some of the lessons of Enron's demise. There have been no allegations of fraud. But the U.S. gas firm's vast trading operation, fondness for complicated holdings and relationships, and corporate generosity are among the traits that, in hindsight, should have invited greater scrutiny of Enron's edifice. ... Chesapeake, a self-described 'bold" competitor in a sector close to Enron's, has seemingly failed to avoid some of the defunct energy giant's well documented flaws ... 'The company is impossible to fully understand,' says Phil Weiss, an analyst who covers Chesapeake at Argus Research. 'It's what I can't see that worries me.'" http://bit.ly/JeiYrS
THOUGHT BUBBLE 2: MARK ZUCKERBERG HATES YOU - ReutersBV's Rob Cox: "Facebook has reminded investors of a simple lesson: Avoid companies whose bosses don't care about you. From the get-go, Mark Zuckerberg, the social network's not very sociable founder, made clear he had little interest in welcoming public shareholders. That indifference set a tone for his executives, venture capitalists and bankers that arguably contributed to the glaring flaws in Facebook's initial public offering ... [T]he combination of a stock already trading well below its offer price, annoyed retail investors - many of them Facebook users - and regulatory probes constitutes a botched deal. And that's without mentioning trading glitches, which were presumably beyond the company's control ... Zuckerberg has failed an early test as the CEO of a public company" http://bit.ly/KMOwds
PRE-IPO WHISPERS NOT UNCOMMON - WJS's Gina Chon, Jenny Strasburg and Anupreeta Das on pg. A1: "It is one of Wall Street's best-kept secrets: Securities firms are allowed to selectively confer with favored large investing clients about crucial information as they prepare IPOs. Wall Street firms ... say they give certain information to big clients because the clients pay for this type of data. It is typical in an IPO for analysts or sales staff to give certain information to clients, they added. But that usually doesn't apply to small investors. At any other time, such 'selective disclosure' violates federal securities law ... Securities law prevents analysts at banks that underwrite large IPOs from issuing research reports to the public until 40 days after the shares begin trading. Some securities lawyers urge that new rules be put in place to prevent this uneven information flow" http://on.wsj.com/JTw57P
FB TO NYSE? - CNBC's Jesse Bergman and Kayla Tausche: "Is Facebook looking to make a change? In the wake of a series of embarrassing technical glitches that marred Facebook's first day of trading on the Nasdaq, the social networking giant is now open to moving its listing to rival exchange [NYSE] ... according to two people familiar ... While these people say that multiple NYSE officials have reached out to Facebook regarding such a move, the NYSE maintains that 'no discussions' have taken place, nor would those discussions 'be appropriate at this time.' Facebook remains open to engage in these discussions, according to people familiar with the matter." http://bit.ly/KgeWkX
BANKS CASH IN SUPPORTING STOCK - WSJ's Gina Chon, Aaron Lucchetti and Ryan Dezember: "Morgan Stanley and other underwriters have made a profit of about $100 million stabilizing Facebook stock ... people familiar with the matter said. As the lead underwriter ... Morgan Stanley would receive the largest chunk of those profits ...The bank would receive the money on top of millions of dollars in IPO fees, the people added. These gains are expected to be offset somewhat by losses associated with reimbursing clients who lost money because of technology snafus at the Nasdaq ...
"It's not unusual for underwriters to see some gains from stabilizing new stock offerings, but the amounts in Facebook have garnered attention. ... Morgan Stanley was the stabilization agent for Facebook's IPO, meaning the bank was in charge of an overallotment of about 63 million shares that can be used to help support Facebook's share price. IPO underwriters are typically allowed to oversell an IPO by 15%. In Facebook's case, this meant that underwriters bought from the company the offering's 421,233,615 shares, but sold into the market 484,418,657 shares" http://on.wsj.com/JTwCXg
BAIN STRATEGY RISKY FOR OBAMA - NYT's Nicholas Confessore on pg. A1: "Debates over how much to blame — and regulate — Wall Street have stoked tensions between Democrats and the financial industry ever since Mr. Obama took office ... But now Mr. Obama is leveraging his bully pulpit and advertising dollars to argue that Mr. Romney's career as a successful financial executive exhibited values that are not those of a good president ... At stake are not only a political and policy relationship Democrats have nurtured over decades with the financial services industry, but the millions of dollars in campaign cash that have come with it.
"Already this year, securities and investment firms have given Republicans 57 percent of their donations, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, the party's highest share since the center began tabulating campaign money. Mr. Obama has raised millions of dollars on Wall Street, but far less than he did four years ago" http://nyti.ms/JEVtYk
BOOK CORNER: BAROFSKY TOME HITS JULY 24 - Per release: " With the estimated $3 billion loss at JPMorgan Chase rekindling the debate about financial industry regulation, and with the government's handling of the economic recovery the decisive issue in the fall elections, Free Press announced today a forthcoming book by Neil Barofsky, who served both the Bush and Obama administrations as the watchdog of [TARP] ... BAILOUT: An Inside Account of How Washington Abandoned Main Street While Rescuing Wall Street will be published on July 24, 2012."
DEMS PUSH EQUAL PAY BILL - POLITICO's Scott Wong: "Sick of the fights over contraception and Planned Parenthood? Get ready for a new front in what Democrats call the GOP's 'war on women.' Five female Democratic senators pressed for legislation Wednesday aimed at closing the wage gap between men and women. The Paycheck Fairness Act would bring up to date the Equal Pay Act, which was signed into law ... nearly 50 years ago. Democrats cited statistics showing that women today are still paid 77 cents for every dollar earned by men, or $10,784 less a year on average. ... But Republicans say such legislation is unnecessary since the landmark Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act is already on the books ... Democrats counter that the Paycheck Fairness bill is much stronger than the Ledbetter Act." http://bit.ly/KrgkCt
DEMS HOLD LINE ON SEQUESTER - POLITICO's David Rogers: "In an interview with POLITICO, [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid said he was open to a compromise that would salvage about four-fifths of the Bush-era tax cuts. But absent some concession on revenues, the $110 billion in spending cuts ordered by the debt agreement last August would go into effect. 'I am not going to back off the sequestration,' Reid said. 'That's the law we passed. We did it because it wouldn't make things easy for us. It made it so we would have to do something. And if we didn't, these cuts would kick in. To now see the Republicans scrambling to do away with the cuts to defense, I will not accept that,' Reid said. 'My people — in the state of Nevada and I think the country — have had enough of whacking all the programs. We've cut them to a bare bone, and defense is going to have to bear their share of the burden." http://bit.ly/Jz6MrE
FEAR AND GREED ON WALL STREET - Per release: "Today, CNNMoney launches the Fear & Greed Index, a new proprietary tool that tracks how emotion is driving the stock market on a daily basis. The Fear and Greed Index goes live alongside CNNMoney's new investing section, which will offer in-depth financial analysis and commentary from a combination of CNNMoney and FORTUNE reporters including Dan Primack, Paul La Monica and Stephen Gandel." http://cnnmon.ie/KrdBJ4
NEW BANKING EXHIBIT - Per release: "Capital of Capital: New York City Banks and the Creation of a Global Economy, a new exhibition opening at the Museum of the City of New York on May 22, 2012, charts the rise of the city's banks from early sources of credit for local merchants to institutions that transformed New York City into a global financial center. The exhibition features historic documents and artifacts including 19th-century examples of bank-issued money, a 1922 predecessor to the ATM, and artifacts related to the 2008 fiscal crisis ... The exhibition was made possible by a generous grant from Citi, which is funding the exhibit as part of its commemoration of its 200th anniversary year."
GOLDMAN TARGETS GREEN INVESTMENTS - Reuters' Lauren Tara LaCapra: "Goldman Sachs ... plans to channel investments totaling $40 billion over the next decade into renewable energy projects ... Goldman executives said this week that demand for alternative energy sources will grow with global energy demand, and as big manufacturing countries, including China and Brazil, set more aggressive targets for reducing emissions. The bank plans to finance deals with clients' money and, to a lesser extent, its own funds. Goldman ... plans to announce the new target at its annual meeting on Thursday ... Analysts and experts said Goldman may also be looking to score public relations points for a relatively small investment. The bank has been on a charm offensive in recent months, after a former employee wrote a scathing opinion piece in the New York Times in March accusing Goldman of ripping off clients regularly."
HAPPY GRADUATION, BANKERS - Per Consumer Bankers Association release: "The CBA/BAI Graduate School of Retail Bank Management (GSRBM) congratulates each member of the Class of 2012 and is proud to announce the 2012 honors students as well as this year's top student, the recipient of the Tem Wooldridge Award ...

The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man (Hardcover)
Awesome Man can shoot positronic rays out of his eyeballs, fly as straight asan arrow, and hug mutant Jell-O Even villains like Professor Von Evil and the Flaming Eyeball are no match for this caped crusader.
But Awesome Man also has a secret. . . . Can you guess what it is?
The first picture book from Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon perfectly captures the fantasy life of young superhero fans.
Praise For…
"The depiction of a showdown between Awesome Man and his nemesis—the Flaming Eyeball—is priceless. Readers may notice that there's a moral peeking out from Awesome Man's cape, but they'll still grab this story in their 'ginormous Awesome Power Grip' and not let go."
-School Library Journal (starred review)
"Young caped crusaders and Chabon's adult fans alike will grin at this self-consciously witty portrait."
-Publishers Weekly
"Awesome indeed."
-Kirkus Reviews
"It's a wonderful celebration of tough-guy fantasies and down-to-earth boyness, perfectly matched with the retro stylings of animated film artist and comic book illustrator Parker."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"Chabon's first-person narrative is that of a boy-zealous, goofy, and antisister-and the story reads like the play-by-play antics of an action figure in a kid's game."
-ALA Booklist
Praise for SUMMERLAND: "Chabon hits a high-flying home run."
-Publishers Weekly
Praise for SUMMERLAND: "Packed with magic, adventure, myth, and America's favorite pastime, this book will enchant its audience.
-School Library Journal
Praise for THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY: "The depth of Chabon's thought, his sharp language, his inventiveness and his ambition make this a novel of towering achievement."
-New York Times Book Review

Wednesday, 30 November 2011
At the beginning of this year (March) I was contacted by Puredistance, who offered me a sample of their more masculine offering, M, to review. After my review I posted a link to it, and went on with life. See here for the original review.
Recently Puredistance contacted me again and asked for permission to have my article published in a book that they are making available as a PDF on their website. I was slightly taken aback, albeit safe in the knowledge that this is a marketing tool of sorts, not down to the sheer brilliance of my writing!
Now, I want to assure you that I am not writing this to brag, but to provide an example of how perfume companies can use the internet, blogs and electronic media to their advantage, but also to the consumer's.
5 comments:
Your blog is very informative. It is like daily newspaper. Added to fav's. :)
women pheromonesMichael, first - why not to brag a little? You did a nice job and it was recognized as such. Second - I agree with you about Puredistance: they seem to have a good understanding of the modern online world.
I have a sample of this perfume but I haven't tried it yet. I will and when I do I'll re-read your review.

Teen weepie The Fault In Our Stars is a disingenuous affair.
In the introductory voice-over, we are promised by its very engaging young heroine Hazel Grace Lancaster (Shailene Woodley) this won't be the typical terminal illness melodrama that "sugar coats" the characters' afflictions and uses schmaltzy music to tweak the heartstrings.
The Fault in Our Stars reviews round-up
It is not a promise the film keeps as it sinks slowly into gooey mawkishness.
The film, already a big success in the US, is adapted from John Green`s bestselling novel about a love affair between two young cancer victims. Hazel and Augustus Waters (Ansel Elgort) meet in a support group and immediately strike up a rapport. Early on, it plays like a contemporary equivalent to one of John Hughes' bratpack films.
It is smartly written, with an engaging line in deadpan irony and fatalism. The young leads are refreshingly unsentimental about their condition and have a sense of rebelliousness and mischief, especially when their parents try to mollycoddle them.
It is only after a trip to Amsterdam and a meeting with Hazel's favourite author Peter van Houten (Willem Dafoe) that the sentimentality really becomes cloying.
A trip to Anne Frank's house marks a nadir as the film slowly turns into the kind of manipulative, lachrymose melodrama that Hazel herself professes to detest.
Josh Boone, 126 minutes, starring: Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Laura Dern, Willem Dafoe

Not only is Vanessa Selbst one of the best female players in poker history, she is considered to be one of the best tournament players overall. With more than $5 million in lifetime tournament winnings and the spot in the Top 100 all time money list Selbst proves that female players can also reach high grounds in the male-dominated world of poker.
Vanessa Selbst was born in 1984 in Brooklyn, New York. She is best known for her back-to-back wins at the Northern American Poker Tour Mohegan Sun Main Events in 2010 and 2011. Selbsts also has two WSOP bracelets and five final table finishes to her name. In 2010 she won the prestigious Partouche Poker Tour Main Event taking home € 1,300,000.
Selbst first attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but had soon changed to Yale where she studied Political Science. It was during that time that she started playing poker. Home games were quickly replaced by cash games at the Foxwoods poker room. After warming up at the casino cash games, in 2006 Selbst traveled to Vegas for her first World Series and has been a regular in many of the world's major poker tournaments ever since.
World Series of Poker
She first entered the big stage in 2006 by making a final table appearance at the World Series of Poker $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em event. She finished the tournament in 7th place collecting just over $100,000. She came back to the WSOP tables the very next year and made two more stunning performances reaching two final tables and cashing $150,000 in total.
In 2008 Selbst took her game to another level and played a number of tournaments outside of Vegas, but her biggest score of the year still came in the gambling capital of the world. The 39th annual World Series of Poker marked Selbst's first major poker title as she won the $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha event collecting almost $230,000 in prize money as well as the golden bracelet.
In 2012 she took home her second WSOP bracelet after winning the $2,500 10-Game Mix – Six-Handed event.
Vanessa Selbst's Top 5 WSOP Results
Year | Event | Place | Prize |
2008 | $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha | 1st | $227,933 |
2012 | $2,500 10-Game Mix – Six-Handed | 1st | $244,259 |
2007 | $ 5,000 Heads-Up World Championship | 3rd | $128,968 |
2008 | $ 10,000 Heads-Up World Championship | 3rd | $108,288 |
2012 | $1,500 No Limit Hold'em | 4th | $161,345 |
World Poker Tour
Although she has no WPT titles, Selbst has a number of first-place finishes at the World Poker Tour events and two championship event cashes. In 2008 she finished in first place in two WPT events at the World Poker Finals and L.A. Poker Classic for a total of $140,000 in cash and added a second place finish for $40,000 in the Five Star World Poker Classic.
In 2009 she scored another World Poker Finals win for more than $70,000. In 2011 Selbst came close to her first World Poker Tour Championship title when she took third place at the Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic Main Event for almost $340,000.
Vanessa Selbst's Top 6 WPT Results
Year | Event | Place | Prize |
2008 | World Poker Finals $1,850 No Limit Hold'em | 1st | $115,000 |
2008 | L.A. Poker Classic $1,000 Ladies Championship | 1st | $26,500 |

2011 | Doyle Brunson Five Diamond World Poker Classic $ 10,000 Championship Event | 3rd | $338,351 |
European Poker Tour
Selbst began her EPT run in 2010 with a third place finish at the €3,000 Heads-Up event in EPT Tallinn. That same year she made another deep run at the EPT London £20,000 High Roller Event collecting £145,000 for a fourth place finish.
Vanessa Selbst's Top 5 EPT Results
Year | Event | Place | Prize |
2010 | London £20,000 High Roller Event | 4th | £145,000 |
2010 | Tallinn €3,000 Heads-Up | 4th | €11,400 |
2011 | London £1,000 No-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha | 7th | £4,550 |
2011 | Sanremo €4,600 Main Event | 40th | €4,000 |
2012 | Berlin €5,000 Main Event | 48th | €13,000 |
Other Achievements
Selbst is the only player to score back-to-back Norther American Poker Tour titles. She won her first NAPT title in 2010 by taking down the Mohegan Sun Main Event for $750,000. One year after she came back to defend the title and she did, this time taking home $450,000 in cash.
The 2010 was also the year when Selbst decided to take her game outside the U.S. She cashed in two Aussie Millions events, and then collected the biggest cash prize of her career in Cannes, France after winning the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event for €1,300,000.
In 2010 Selbst signed a contact with PokerStars and became the member of the Team PokerStars Pro. She represents the site in all the major live poker events as well as plays PokerStars online tournaments and cash games under the name V. Selbst.
Did you know?
- Selbst graduated from Yale with a degree in Political Science and from the Yale Law School.
- When she's not playing poker Selbst puts her efforts and intelligence in fighting social injustice.
- Selbst is the only openly gay female poker player.

National Debt Font Family by Harold's Fonts
About: I originally created National Debt for a 1940s-style event when I couldn't find the font I imagined. (Later I discovered the existing font I'd wanted is called Futura Display, Function Display, Gumshoe, etc.) But my version was independently created and now has a distinctive highlighted companion font.

Auto mechanic and wannabe race-car driver Eddie Shannon (Mickey Rooney) allows himself to be led perilously astray in Drive a Crooked Road. Responding to the come-hither looks of sexy Barbara Mathews (Dianne Foster), Eddie is inveigled into participating in a bank heist. Things then go from bad to worse to awful for both Eddie and Barbara, victims of circumstance in a larger-scale scheme masterminded by hoodlums Steve Norris (Kevin McCarthy) and Harold Baker (Jack Kelly).
