Rhetorica's White Office Makeover
If white offices are your thing, Rhetorica's got something tasty to jump start your Friday evening commute. Designed by the folks at What We Do in Copenhagen, this white office features the visual aesthetic of small scale architecture with hip interiors inspired by communication tech.
From What We Do:
"The new office space was located in an old backyard workshop building with nice old-fashioned window-panes and raw visible plumbing and electric connections. The office had one big room with big blank walls that just invited us to come up with some unique wall-decorations.
Everything, including the floor and ceiling, had already been painted white so we quickly decided to keep as much as possible in white. We wanted to make a conversation corner so we painted some old-fashioned frames and filled them with 3D objects relating to communication and rhetorics. As a nice customized detail we cut out the company logo in a rug. Another detail from the conversation corner is the specially designed book-lamp made from old books and a lamp from IKEA - everything painted white ofcourse!
On the 1st floor of the office there was a room with a big wall and a small skylight window. For this wall we designed a series of flat icons - including the godess of Rhetorics who was ofcourse hanging closest to the skylight window. The flat icons stood out from the wall thanks to the skylight.
For lamps we decided to go along with the 'incandescent lightbulp clusters' trend (as designed by Muuto) just in a more CO2 neutral solution with energy-saving lightbulps instead of the beautiful but energy consuming tungsten bulps. The complex electric wiring for the lamp clusters mixed very well with the visible plumbing and electric wires in the rest of the room."
Our favorite part, however, is the attention to detail. From the little punches of green to the perfectly wall-framed tech, everything immediate jumps out at you - even the cleverly designed flat icons near the stairway area and the lamp clusters with exposed wiring - that makes for a creative space that looks to be a joy to work in.

Where did they find those great icons on the wall? I would love something similar in my home office.
Hello BeeMart, I'm glad you like the wall icons. We actually made them ourselves by drawing them in Adobe Illustrator and then had them cut out in mdf woodboard and finally we had them painted white.
Please let us know we can help you make something similar -perhaps customized after your wishes...

How can a second heart attack be prevented?
- Take aspirin and beta blockers (propranolol, metoprolol, atenolol) that have been shown to reduce the chances of a second heart attack and improve survival.
- Stop smoking cigarettes.
- Reduce excess weight and exercise regularly.
- Control blood pressure and diabetes.
- Follow a diet that is low in cholesterol (less than 200 mg daily) and saturated fat (less than 7% of total calories). For more, please see the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) Daily Food Guide, Eating Heart Healthy.
- Reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. Reduction of LDL cholesterol to a value below 80 mg/dl, particularly with the statin group of medications, has been demonstrated to prevent further heart attacks. Patients with low HDL (less than 35 mg/dl) are encouraged to exercise regularly and to take medications to increase HDL. For more in-depth information about cholesterol, LDL, and HDL, please see the Cholesterol article.
- Take ACE inhibitors that aid the healing process and improve long-term survival in selected patients, particularly those with major damage to heart muscle.
- Take a daily multivitamin that has 400 to 800 micrograms of folic acid. This helps to reduce homocysteine levels in the blood that may aggravate atherosclerosis.
- Eat a diet rich in omega-3-fatty acids by eating more fish or take fish oil supplements. (See the fish oil article). High intake of omega-3-fatty acids decreases the risk of sudden death from heart attacks.
- Undergo further testing. In the months following a heart attack, further cardiac stress testing, with or without nuclear or echocardiographic imaging, may be prescribed to determine if additional therapy will be necessary to prevent future heart attacks. In addition, special testing may be required to evaluate the risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias. All such testing should be discussed with the doctor.

Sweat with Your Sweetie for Valentine's Day
Written on February 13, 2014 at 9:13 am , by Samantha Shelton
Let's be real for a minute, guys: dinner and a movie for Valentine's Day is not fun. The restaurants are going to be jam-packed, and well, you've probably seen all the good movies already. Instead, grab your special someone for one of these hot-and-sweaty adventures (you never know where it may lead after you get back home). And we won't have any qualms with you digging into that box of chocolates post-workout, either. After all, you earned it!
Ride with Your Crush at Cyc
NYC-ers, if you're already set on plans for the 14th, head to Cyc Fitness for their 7:30pm "Crush Ride" on February 13th. They'll be playing cupid for you and your crush with a themed playlist, special Valentine's treats and a sweaty kissing booth in case you two really hit it off while pumping your legs (and heart). But they can't do all the work – you'll need to purchase two bikes, and email firstname.lastname@example.com with your crush's name and address. Cyc takes it from there, shooting your hottie an invite and reserving side-by-side bikes. ($25 per class, cyfitness.com)
Reach New Heights at Brooklyn Boulders
Climb to new heights – in the gym and in your relationship – with BKB's "It Takes Two" bouldering competition. Two teammates are required to enter the February 15th competition, and you'll each work together to master routes of all levels. So gear up and see how well you two really work together ($20 per person, brooklynboulders.com). But if you're not quite ready for a competition, sign up for the "Learn the Ropes" course for a special price, and score some sweet gifts both of you can enjoy. ($99, brooklynboulders.com)
Smile While you Sweat with SoulCycle
At all Soul locations, ride on February 14th with your SOULmate for a major party-on-a-bike calorie burn, and document the memory with the SOUL kiss cam. Can't make it to class that day? For the entire month of February, bring a date to select classes – free! These classes don't come cheap, giving you reason enough to drag your partner along or muster the guts to finally ask that cutie you've been eyeing on a date. (price and schedule varies; soul-cycle.com)

▾ Film: "Neal Kinsey's Hands-on Agronomy"
• This fascinating video details Neal Kinsey's most important lessons. He teaches a sophisticated, easy-to-live-with system of fertility management that focuses on balance, not merely quantity of fertility elements. It works in a variety of soils and crops, both conventional and organic. In sharp contrast to the current methods only using N-P-K and pH and viewing soil only as a physical support media for plants, the basis of all his teachings are to feed the soil, and let the soil feed the plant. The Albrecht system of soils is covered, along with how to properly test your soil and interpret the results. The video teach you the major principles of Kinsey's system that will take the viewer a long way down the road to improving the productivity of their soil. A discussion will follow the film.

Columbia, SC, to exile its homeless
The city plans to forcibly segregate them in the same year it celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement.
What's the quickest, easiest -- if least effective -- way to deal with your downtown's unsightly problem of homelessness? Making it somebody else's problem.
Because the city government in Columbia, S.C., apparently cribs its planning for homeless outreach from old episodes of "South Park," it has decided to get its big push broom out of the garage and just sweep the homeless out of the city center.
The Columbia City Council unanimously approved the plan, creating special police patrols that would enforce "quality of life" laws involving loitering, public urination and other crimes not necessarily restricted to the homeless population. Those officers would then offer the homeless a choice: Go to jail for their homelessness or be shuffled to a 240-bed, 24-hour shelter on the outskirts of town, which they wouldn't be allowed to easily leave.
That second option isn't jail, mind you, because the homeless are being confined with the help of a local charitable organization. It's charitable incarceration, you see. The homeless can leave, but they need to set up an appointment and be shuttled by a van.
And just in case any of the offending homeless get any ideas about doing something crazy like, oh, walking into town, officials plan to post an officer -- we can only assume it won't be Brian Dennehy -- on the road leading to downtown just to make sure they don't walk back and go all John Rambo on the place.
But, hey, it's cool: That 240-bed shelter should totally hold the 1,518 homeless people currently living in the Columbia area. Besides, the city is partnering with a charity. Surely they'll be able to make this exile of the homeless work, right?
Michael Stoops, director of community organizing at the National Coalition for the Homeless, told ThinkProgress, the plan is the "most comprehensive anti-homeless measure" he had ever seen proposed "in any city in the last 30 years." He added: "Using one massive shelter on the outskirts to house all a city's homeless is something that has never worked anywhere in the country."
But there has to be a first time for everything. Maybe this policy doesn't do anything to make the homeless less homeless. Maybe it doesn't peek into bigger issues like South Carolina's 8.1% unemployment rate or Columbia's 7.9% rate -- each higher than the national average. Maybe it doesn't factor in a state foreclosure rate that ranks among the nation's Top 10 and far outstrips the national average.
But a city marking the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement can't get into trouble for segregating a whole portion of the population from the rest of the city just because it doesn't like the way it looks, can it? Well, there is that whole "equal treatment under the law" business that applies whether someone is shaking a change cup outside of a Starbucks or not.
"The underlying design is that they want the homeless not to be visible in downtown Columbia," Susan Dunn, South Carolina ACLU's legal director said. "You can shuttle them somewhere or you can go to jail. That's, in fact, an abuse of power."
Good luck with that, Columbia.
The homeless of our society are still citizens. I bet you any amount of money no teenager sat back and thought, "you know, my goal in life is be homeless someday." It's just something that happened on their life's journey. Is it often caused by alcoholism, drug addiction, or mental health issues? Of course! Still, it is much better to have compassion for them and show some love than hate them.
About 15 years ago I watched a really drunk homeless man keep falling down and he was hurting himself. As I continued walking down the street I was mumbling to myself, "what a stupid idiot." Then I saw an elderly couple approach the man and ask if he was alright. They asked if there was anything they could do to help him. I was truly ashamed of my condescending attitude.

I second this request!
Also seconded. Thanks Kelsey.
I'm guessing this still isn't available, right? Any plans? This thread is from 2010 so it's been some while (he says, quietly hoping).
Hi Jim,
Did a quick test by echoing text through PHP, and nothing renders in the morsel. I made a note of this feature request, though
Thanks Nicolas - you did the same as me by the look of it. Am actually struggling to see where I can use Template Morsels for the site I just bought it for. Nearly all of my code includes at least a bit of php here and there…
Maybe look into making some of that PHP code into a plugin? There are a few blog posts on the net discussing this approach. Also, there might already be a third-party add-on that can replace your PHP code. The EE forums might also have ideas and suggestions in some cases. It really depends on your PHP code I guess, though
Thanks Nicolas. If the worst comes to the worst I can always use Template Morsels on another site instead
Just going to pop in here for a moment as this is on our list of feature requests we are evaluating for the next release. You can still put PHP into an Embedded template that is then inside the Template Morsel. Also, we are putting in a new {exp:template_morsels:escape} tag, which will allow escaped content in the morsel that can then be processed by the Template parser. PHP on Output would work in this case.

7 Bizarrely Embarrassing Toddler Habits
They're not called the "terrible twos" and "threenagers" for nothing. Toddlerhood is filled with bizarre and sometimes downright creepy behavior. There are the usual tantrums and hitting, but what do you do when your toddler's habits REALLY cross the line?

Toddler humping motions are a completely unsexual gesture that's natural as they learn how to maneuver their body. Gently steer them towards a more engaging activity and do your best not to react with any clear signs of anger, confusion or amusement. The last thing you want is for your toddler to think that humping things is a valid way of gaining attention.

Ripping Clothes off
For many children, yanking clothes off is a sign that they're ready to potty train. For others, it can be simple discomfort or boredom. Fostering language development can minimize some of these issues by allowing them to express the reasoning behind their disrobing.

Feeling Themselves
This is another normal part of figuring out their body. Experts say toddlers should have free reign in their own room, but parents should discourage this sort of activity in public right off the bat to discourage it from becoming a habit.

Loudly Announcing When They've Pooped
Toddlers are filled with a strange, bold excitement about their bodily functions. Perhaps it's the fact that they've created something. It's best to encourage them to use their inside voice when celebrating. Refrain from scolding them, as you don't want them to associate bathroom habits with negative feelings.

"Hey Mom, I've discovered another orifice!" Nothing's quite as embarrassing as the moment your child jams her finger up her nose in front of your boss or in-laws. Address the issue briefly and directly, explaining that it isn't healthy for them to put their fingers in their nose. Then get them to wash their hands and start a different activity.

Pulling Pants Down to Pee in Public
Potty-training toddlers are so proud when they start getting the hang of it, they want to share their newfound skills with the world! Redirect them to the nearest restroom each time this happens, and they'll eventually get the memo.
Photo Credit: Morguefile
Toddlers often resort to head-banging out of frustration. Minimize these outbursts by talking them through their emotions when you see a problem developing. Give your child alternate ways to express himself by teaching him "mad faces" and "sad faces" so they he express himself more easily.
Green is Gross! And Other Toddler Food RulesIf toddlers could provide parents with a handbook of food preferences, here are the major notes that would be included.view gallery

|What is an SR-22?
An SR-22 is a rider to an insurance policy in which the insurance company guarantees that you will keep insurance in effect for a certain period of time. In order to get your license back after having certain suspensions or revocations or to keep from getting your license suspended you may have to file the SR-22. When you purchase liability insurance, the insurance agent can provide the SR-22 form. When the insurance policy with the SR-22 rider is purchased, the form is filed with the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles.
The form is not an insurance policy. The form is a guarantee by the insurance company that you will keep the insurance in effect for a certain period. If you don't keep the SR-22 current, the insurance company will notify the Motor Vehicle Division. Once the Motor Vehicle Division has been notified that the SR-22 is no longer in effect, but is still required, Motor Vehicle will suspend your license for that reason alone.
If you deicde to change insurance companies, you need to get a new SR-22 filed before the old one goes out of effect.
|How do I request a letter of clearance?
To request a letter of clearance, you will need to send in a written request. You will need to include your full name, date of birth, a mailing address, and a check or money order in the amount of $2.20 ($2.70 for a certified copy). A complete legible signature is required on the request.

|What is the difference between a Suspension, Revocation, Cancellation &/or Denial of my driving privilege?
Revocation: A mandatory restraint action on a valid driver's license or driving privilege. A revoked license is invalid and cannot be re-issued. After reinstatement of your driving privilege you must re-test (both written and drive) to be issued a new license.
Suspension: A temporary withdrawal of the driving privilege. A suspension is a restraint action but does not void the driver's license. A valid license may be re-issued upon reinstatement. A license that has expired, must be renewed upon reinstatement. Point suspensions require a written test at renewal.
Denial: A restraint action when no valid license exists at the time of restraint.
Cancellation/Denial: Actions to void a Colorado license and deny the driving privilege. Reinstatement is required and passing of a written and a road test is mandatory.
Cancellation: This action will void a valid Colorado license. A cancellation, by itself, is not a restraint action and does NOT require reinstatement if complied with in a timely manner. Another license/permit may be issued, unless the reason for cancellation is still outstanding.
|Why does the state require me to take alcohol classes when the court doesn't?
There are circumstances where the court may not order you to take alcohol classes but the state will as a requirement for reinstatement. Colorado statutes require these classes for certain types of revocations.
For more information on alcohol classes: Level I and Level II courses brochure .
|Why do I have to take a re-exam when my license does not expire for several more years?
There are several reasons that the State may require you to come in and take a re-examination. When you have two accidents on your record within three years of each other, we will ask you to take a re-examination. You may also be asked to take a re-examination if a family member or doctor feels, for medical reasons, you should take a re-examination. A law enforcement officer may also file an incident report requesting that you take a re-examination.
|How do I request a re-examination for a family member?
The department can request a driver to take a re-examination based on written information received from a doctor, a law enforcement agency, a court, or an immediate family member.
|Can the request for re-exam be kept confidential?
The request cannot be kept confidential. The driver has the right to know why he/she is being required to take a re-examination. The driver can upon proof of identification and a $2.20 fee be provided a copy of the written information used by our office to request the re-examination.
|What if the family member in question has medical issues?
If the driver has medical issues the family member should contact the driver's doctor and have the doctor provide a written request for the re-examination.
|Can re-examinations be extended if I can't take my re-examination?
Re-examinations cannot be extended unless requested by a doctor. The doctor must provide, on letterhead, the reason for the extension and the length of the extension. If the extension time period is to be longer than two weeks from the original time request then the restraint will go into effect. When the driver is able to take and pass the re-examination on the first attempt, the action will be rescinded.
|How is the driver notified that he/she needs to take a re-examination?
The driver is notified by mail that he/she has twenty days from the date of the correspondence to take a re-examination. The letter informs the driver to contact the nearest full service driver's license office .
|What is an NRVC?
NRVC stands for Non-Resident Violator Compact which means the state of Colorado and most of the states in the United States belong to a compact. If you receive a ticket in a state that is not your state of residency and you fail to pay the fine, the state where you received the ticket will notify your home state. Your home state will suspend your driver's license until the ticket has been paid.
|How do I clear an NRVC suspension?
To clear an NRVC suspension you will need to pay the fine for the ticket to the court. Once the fine is paid, and you have received a receipt back from the court, you will need to forward the receipt to this office with a completed Application for Reinstatement (DR 2870) and pay a $95.00 reinstatement fee.
If you choose to reinstate and use Express Mail to expedite the process, you must use Express Mail from the U.S. Post Office. No FedEx, UPs, etc., will be accepted at this PO Box. Sending to any other address listed could slow down the processing of your reinstatement.

Users report a kinder, gentler NEXUS experience
Policies may not have changed, but practices at the border may be signs of a softer touch in the administration of the NEXUS trusted traveler program.
CBP public information officer Tom Schreiber said there had been no substantive change in policy: the decision to grant or restore NEXUS privileges rests with the enrollment center in Williston, Vermont, which has been processing all NEXUS applications since an online enrollment system went into operation in August 2007.
There is no formal appeal process if membership is denied or revoke but information published on the CBP website encourages those who wish to contest a denial or revocation to make an appointment at a local enrollment center to speak with a supervisor or appeal in writing to their trusted traveler ombudsman in Vermont.
Shreiber said in the last two months the vacant ombudsman position was filled by Linda Longway, which may have streamlined how appeals are handled. Longway declined to comment and referred questions to Ted Wu at the CBP Boston Field Office. He was unavailable.
Specifically in the case or NEXUS revocations, Schreiber said, the first avenue of appeal was the officer who decides to take a card from a program member. "In making that decision it was actually an exercise of discretion based upon guidelines and policy," he said.
The officer could issue a verbal warning if he felt the violation was not serious enough to take the card, Schreiber said, citing as an example a parent whose child had forgotten their lunch in the back seat. NEXUS has been described in the past as a zero-tolerance program, which has drawn criticism as too rigid for the program to thrive for average users.
Meeting with an enrollment supervisor to explain the circumstances of a violation was the next step once a card had been revoked, Schreiber said.
"Further information will be processed according to local procedures," he said.
A recommendation will then be forwarded to the enrollment center in Vermont.
Written requests can also be sent to Longway, at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 300 Interstate Corporate Center Suite 303, Williston, VT 05495, Attention: CBP Ombudsman.

The internet flared up today about Marietta's popular Tasty China finally setting a date on the opening of their new restaurant with Chef Peter Chang. I spoke with Tasty China's manager Emily who confirmed the following:
- As rumored, the second location will indeed be located in the old Olive's restaurant space off 6450 Powers Ferry Road in Sandy Springs. It will be called "Peter Chang's" after the meandering-but-now-settling-down chef who has a way with Sichuan-style Chinese cooking. Tasty China will continue to stay open for business.
- On Saturday, December 18, they will host their grand opening party in the new location which will feature Sichuan cuisine prepared by Chef Chang. The restaurant is only open for the event on December 18 and will be open for regular business on the next day, Sunday, December 19. See details below.
Peter Chang's Grand Opening Party, 6 p.m. Saturday, December 18, 6450 Powers Ferry Road, Sandy Springs, 770-419-9849, $25 per person at the door (tax and gratuity not included) or $20 per person/$35 per couple if you register before December 15. Otherwise, regularly open for business starting Sunday, December 19, 11 a.m.-10 p.m Mondays-Sundays (according to the manager, these hours are tentative and are subject to change)
Tasty China, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays, 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays, 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Sundays.585 Franklin Road S.E., Suite B-3, Marietta, 770-419-9849, $.

Based on some info from Washington City Paper via 285 Foodies: "…after forcing his fans to follow him around the country like jilted lovers, the chef has apparently settled down in Charlottesville, where he's scheduled to open Peter Chang China Grill in January." How many places can he settle down?

I think all these AJC reporters need to get off their butts and do some real journalism and find out what's the real story behind this Chef Peter Chang. Why does he roam so much? How is it he is "settling down in Charlottesville" as well as Atlanta? Somebody said that same story in Tampa? Does he have wives in each city? Is the CIA really after him? Maybe he still works for PF Chang's as well? Then, just how much MSG & salt can one person consume at a meal before they explode?
These are the real questions our "journalist" need to be asking.

After all the hype about Tasty China, I schlepped all the way up there from Buckhead to enjoy this wondrous place, only to be very underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, was "tasty" enough. But certainly not remarkable and definitely not worth the drive. If I lived in the neighborhood, I would go there. But I wouldn't recommend it for those needing to drive more than 10 minutes. Man Chun Hong in Doraville is far, far superior.

Chang is pulling the biggest prank of all time. Hook, line and sinker.
"AJC reporters"
December 10th, 2010
9:30 am
In all seriousness, I echo the requests of the posters above. I have gotten very confused, and I wish someone from the AJC would call this reporter in the DC area and figure out where this information about Peter Chang "settling down" in Charlottesville is coming from and whether or not it is true. This information is very recent (just a week old as of this writing) and very specific. The quote is "the chef has apparently settled down in Charlottesville, where he's scheduled to open Peter Chang China Grill in January." So he is simultaneously opening another restaurant with his name on it over 500 miles away from Atlanta?
Is there more than one "Peter Chang?" Or is the "real" Peter Chang going to be splitting his time between Atlanta and one or two other cities? I am curious because I have eaten at Tasty China a number of times when Peter Chang has supposedly been there but things have been (I'll be kind here) somewhat different from time to time.
Can we figure out whether (i) the real Peter Chang will be here, in Atlanta, cooking at the new Peter Chang restaurant on a nightly basis, or (ii) if this is just some ploy to use his name and the publicity he has gotten in various locations to make a quick buck?

By JIMMY GOLENAP Sports Writer
BOSTON (AP) - Grady Sizemore lined one off the Green Monster to score the game-winning run in the 12th inning and the Boston Red Sox beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 on Tuesday night.
It was the longest game between the two teams since the Red Sox won Game 6 of the 1975 World Series on Carlton Fisk's 12th-inning homer.
Craig Breslow (1-0) pitched one inning of scoreless relief for the win.
Logan Ondrusek (0-2) took the loss. He pitched a scoreless 11th but gave up singles to David Ortiz and Mike Napoli before Sizemore lined one off the left-field Wall. The outfielders did not even bother retrieving it as Ortiz scored easily.

ANN ARBOR (WKZO) -- As health officials continue to screen the patients who received steroid shots from that tainted batch from a New England pharmacy, they continue to find more epidural abscesses, 4 more since Wednesday, bringing the total in the state to 142.
The number that have developed into Fungal Meningitis remains at 67 with 13 deaths in Michigan, but the more severe outcome awaits those who may break those abscesses.
It follows word on Friday that the New England Compounding Center has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with about 10-milion in assets. That won't last long when the lawsuits start.

Kellie Pickler didn't write her new single, "Little Bit Gypsy," but the lyrics are definitely written about her. Kellie's songwriter husband Kyle Jacobs penned the song with two co-writers.
Says Kellie, "He didn't really know what he was signing up for when we got together. I love that it starts off, 'Boy, there's a few things you need to know about me before you let your sweet heart get in too deep.'"
Kellie adds that "Little Bit Gypsy" is fun to sing in concert, too. You can download the song through all digital retailers now or stream it on YouTube .

The Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing to file a civil lawsuit against the $14 billion Connecticut hedge fund run by Steven A. Cohen, a legend in the industry whose business has attracted the government's scrutiny for years.
In a call with investors Wednesday morning, SAC Capital Advisors revealed that it had received a notice from the SEC detailing charges that the government is preparing to file against the firm, according to a person familiar with the call.
It's unclear when the firm received the notice. But the call came about a week after a former SAC portfolio manager — Mathew Martoma — was charged with running the most lucrative insider-trading scheme ever while working with Cohen. In separate cases, federal prosecutors and the SEC accused Martoma of getting secret tips from a neurologist about the results of a clinical trial involving an Alzheimer's drug, enabling his hedge fund and others to make more than $276 million in illegal profits or avoided losses.
Cohen was not accused of wrongdoing in either case, nor was he named in the court filings. Instead, the documents refer to the "hedge fund owner" or "Portfolio Manager A." Cohen is a billionaire with mythical status in the hedge fund world given his firm's consistently stellar performance.
In recent years, at least five people have been accused of insider trading while working for SAC, including Martoma, who worked for an SAC affiliate called CR Intrinsic Investors.
Federal regulators on Wednesday voted to require U.S. companies to disclose what they pay to harvest crude, natural gas and minerals from other countries, delivering a big blow to oil companies that say the mandate will force them to shut down drilling in some areas.
The rule adopted 2-1 by the Securities and Exchange Commission, drew applause from human rights activists and social justice groups that insist the added transparency could discourage corruption in resource-rich countries.
The measure is aimed at preventing graft, exposing bribes and deterring corruption in resource-rich nations where oil and mineral wealth isn't trickling down.
While it may have taken more than four months for him to decide, Judge Frederic Block has finally done what everyone expected him to do: bless the pittance of a settlement between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the two former Bear Stearns hedge fund managers, Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin, whose poor investment decisions cost investors $1.6 billion and proved to be the canary in the coal mine of the financial crisis.
To his credit, Judge Block was not happy about it. Four years after Cioffi and Tannin were sued civilly by the SEC and indicted criminally by the U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York (a jury acquitted the two men in 2009), Judge Block wrote in an opinion that the settlement — in which Cioffi will pay $800,000 and Tannin will pay $250,000 and be enjoined from the securities industry for a short period of time — raises legitimate questions about the tools the SEC has to extract meaningful accountability from Wall Streeters who mess up.
He noted that the proposed settlement is a tiny fraction of what investors lost, although some have recovered a portion of their investments through private litigation and arbitration. The settlement "would amount to less than half a percent of the $1.6 billion in investor losses the defendants allegedly precipitated," Judge Block wrote. "Little wonder that many believe that the SEC is simply not up to the task of enforcing the securities laws."
The SEC filed 735 enforcement actions in 2011, a record for the agency. It collected $928 million in penalties, almost four times the amount it collected in 2008. Rajaratnam is in jail—though he is appealing—and his case has generated scads of leads, which the SEC continues to pursue. On May 21 a fish even larger than Rajaratnam will appear in court: Rajat Gupta, the senior partner of McKinsey. Gupta, a former director on the board of Goldman Sachs (GS), stands accused by the SEC and the Department of Justice of tipping Raj Rajaratnam about the bank's inner workings as the financial markets fell apart in 2008. Gupta has pleaded not guilty.
"From 2006 to 2011, Goldman held weekly huddles sometimes attended by sales personnel in which analysts discussed their top short-term trading ideas and traders discussed their views on the markets," said the SEC in a press release issued earlier this week. "In 2007, Goldman began a program known as the Asymmetric Service Initiative (ASI) in which analysts shared information and trading ideas from the huddles with select clients."
Insider trading – as we have noted before – is the practice of cashing in on information that is not known to the general public. Although it is not illegal in many other countries, the U.S. takes it very seriously and will jail violators and sometimes ban them from trading. Bigger companies – like Goldman Sachs – will typically pay out large sums in order to avoid such punishment.
Washington, D.C., Feb 1, 2012 – The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged four former veteran investment bankers and traders at Credit Suisse Group for engaging in a complex scheme to fraudulently overstate the prices of $3 billion in subprime bonds during the height of the subprime credit crisis.
The SEC alleges that Credit Suisse's former global head of structured credit trading Kareem Serageldin and former head of hedge trading David Higgs along with two mortgage bond traders deliberately ignored specific market information showing a sharp decline in the price of subprime bonds under the control of their group. They instead priced them in a way that allowed Credit Suisse to achieve fictional profits. Serageldin and Higgs periodically directed the traders to change the bond prices in order to hit daily and monthly profit targets, cover up losses in other trading books, and send a message to senior management about their group's profitability. The SEC alleges that the mispricing scheme was driven in part by these investment bankers' desire for lavish year-end bonuses and, in the case of Serageldin, a promotion into the senior-most echelon of Credit Suisse's investment banking unit.

CITIGROUP is lucky that Muammar el-Qaddafi was killed when he was. The Libyan leader's death diverted attention from a lethal article involving Citigroup that deserved more attention because it helps to explain why many average Americans have expressed support for the Occupy Wall Street movement. The news was that Citigroup had to pay a $285 million fine to settle a case in which, with one hand, Citibank sold a package of toxic mortgage-backed securities to unsuspecting customers — securities that it knew were likely to go bust — and, with the other hand, shorted the same securities — that is, bet millions of dollars that they would go bust.
It doesn't get any more immoral than this. As the Securities and Exchange Commission civil complaint noted, in 2007, Citigroup exercised "significant influence" over choosing $500 million of the $1 billion worth of assets in the deal, and the global bank deliberately chose collateralized debt obligations, or C.D.O.'s, built from mortgage loans almost sure to fail. According to The Wall Street Journal, the S.E.C. complaint quoted one unnamed C.D.O. trader outside Citigroup as describing the portfolio as resembling something your dog leaves on your neighbor's lawn. "The deal became largely worthless within months of its creation," The Journal added. "As a result, about 15 hedge funds, investment managers and other firms that invested in the deal lost hundreds of millions of dollars, while Citigroup made $160 million in fees and trading profits."
The SEC announced Wednesday that Citigroup agreed to pay $285 million to settle charges that it misled (synonyms for that word include deceived; lied to; tricked and defrauded) investors in a mortgage securities deal, telling them it was a good investment when it knew otherwise and was secretly…

That's not just slimy. As the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission found in other instances, that kind of behavior is also illegal.Here are five reasons you should be outraged.[…]
…Apparently, the Perrys know all too well the pain of unemployed Americans, because their own son has lost his job. Not just that, but he was made jobless by the Obama administration's onerous regulations! The conservative nightmare scenario played out right in their own family!
"My son had to resign his job because of federal regulations that Washington has put on us," Mrs. Perry said while campaigning for her husband in South Carolina, after a voter shared the story of losing his job.
She is speaking of Griffin Perry. Griffin Perry, who worked at Deutsche Bank until recently, when he had to quit in order to work on his father's presidential campaign.
"He resigned his job two weeks ago because he can't go out and campaign with his father because of SEC regulations," she continued, referring to the Securities and Exchange Commission. "He has a wife… he's trying to start a business. So I can empathize."
"My son lost his job because of this administration," she said a few minutes later.
She can relate to the downtrodden because Barack Obama forced her son the banker to quit his job in order to help his father run for president. Griffin Perry is the 53 percent.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, trying to encourage employees to report corporate wrong-doing, opened a website today to gather tips as its new bounty program for whistle-blowers officially begins.
The Dodd-Frank Act's new incentive program, which rewards tipsters with as much as 30 percent of penalties collected, has been operating on an interim basis since the law was enacted last year.
Sean McKessy, chief of the SEC's whistle-blower office, said in an interview that tip quality — if not volume — has already improved since last year's enactment. Some recent tips will be eligible for the bounties, he said.
The SEC's Office of Market Intelligence will do most of the "wheat versus chaff work" to filter incoming tips, McKessy said, noting that the SEC whistle-blower office has just seven staffers. "We just don't have the resources to read every single one of them."

Kevin Wicks founded BBCAmerica.com's Anglophenia blog back in 2005 and has been translating British culture for an American audience ever since. While not British himself - he was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri - he once received inordinate hospitality in London for sharing the name of a dead but beloved EastEnders character. His Anglophilia stems from a high school love of Morrissey, whom he calls his "gateway drug" into British culture.
