Capitol View Commentary: April 30, 2010
By Pat Nolan, Senior Vice-President, DVL Public Relations & Advertising
April 30, 2010
Whether it's the Metro Courthouse, the State House on Capitol Hill in Nashville, or the U.S. Capitol in Washington, it's been all about the money lately. Let us count some of the ways…..
For the third time in three years, Mayor Karl Dean has recommended a new operating budget for the city with no property tax increase. That, in and of itself, is not a big surprise. He's been hinting in that direction for months.
What is a surprise is how the Mayor plans to avoid another year of cut backs, layoffs and service reductions. He proposes to restructure some of the city's existing capital debt and use the money ($60 million in each of the next two years) to keep the city in the black with only fairly minimal cuts (about 1% to 3% across the board, although a few agencies could still get cut up to 5%).
The bottom line will be a city budget that is about $18 million dollars smaller than it is this year (which is very unusual). However, this proposal from the Mayor must have looked like manna from heaven or the answer to a prayer to Metro Council members when heard what the Mayor had to say during his annual "State of Metro" address. Whereas before there had been talk of cuts up to 7.5% to individual city department budgets, now the Mayor is talking about restoring longevity pay to Metro workers and giving them a one-time 2% bonus, along with unveiling a new capital plan that will fund projects across the city (new roads, schools, community centers, sidewalks) that Council members just love to see get started a little over a year before they run for re-election. The employee pay improvements are also likely good news for the Mayor who has struggled to stay on the good side of the Metro employee unions.
What happens in two years after re-election? No one is predicting, but by that time (2012) Metro will have gone seven years without a property tax hike. Maybe by that time the economy and the public might be more accommodating about an increase, or maybe not. And what if the amount needed for tax hike then is so great, voters might have to approve it in a referendum. Or is that charter provision even legal?
For now, the Mayor says more taxes for the next two years are a bad idea, especially when restructuring the city's debt can help keep Metro in the black. The Mayor says in these unprecedented times of the Great Recession, we need to find a third way (between tax increases and budget cuts) to make things work. The bond rating agencies willing (and apparently they were prepped to expect this while Metro sold its convention center bonds), that seems exactly what the Mayor and the Council are ready to do (although I hear the Fitch rating agency may not be even asked for an opinion this time after their negative take on the convention center bonds). The other rating agencies Standard & Poors and Moodys are expected to be more positive (and the state's controller's office also gets a chance to weigh in on the matter) although no can say for sure until the opinions area issued. This restructuring idea may also take more explaining to the public because a division of Goldman Sachs is handling this matter. While this is not the same part of Goldman Sachs that's in such hot water on Wall Street and in Washington right now, there still may be some concerns and questions to be asked.
There is one area of budget concern that remains for some Council members. While the Mayor is again fully funding the budget request of Metro Schools (including an extra $25 million), he did not include another $11 million the School Board cut that resulted in layoffs at the Central Office, privatizing janitorial duties and cutting back hours of bus drivers. While some Council members want to try and help, the Mayor says he didn't fund because the school system didn't ask for it, and besides, Metro can only give the School Board a lump sum to spend each year. It is totally up to the Board on how they spend it. That's probably where the full Council will leave it as well.
Mayor Dean and three Metro Council leaders (Ronnie Steine, Jerry Maynard and Emily Evans) are my guests on INSIDE POLITICS this weekend. We will further delve into all the matters outlined above. It is a very interesting discussion.
This week INSIDE POLITICS returns to the main channel, WTVF-TV, Channel 5, with our show airing at 6:30 p.m. Friday (April 30) as well as 5:00 a.m. Sunday morning (May 2).
We are also on at our usual times on NEWSCHANNEL5 PLUS, Comcast and Charter Channels 250 and Channel 5's over-the-air digital 5.2 channel. That's at 7:00 p.m. Friday (April 30), Saturday (May 1) at 5:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. as well as Sunday (May 2) at 5:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
Watch us!
Let's move now to money and the state.
All this past week, everyone was getting set for big budget battle between Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey and Governor Phil Bredesen over how to make up an $80 to $100 million budget gap the state has.
No new taxes says Ramsey. That includes the Governor's proposal to take the sales tax cap off big ticket luxury items. The Lt. Governor says bad idea, that the cap really helps protect small businesses making purchases like back hoes and, besides he says, it is small businesses who create the most jobs and we need those right now.
When he was on INSIDE POLITICS last week, Ramsey indicated he was sure he and Senate Republicans would have their own plan about what to cut to make the state budget balance and he was sure he had the votes. But does he? The days have gone by and there is no GOP plan. Republican Senate and House leaders say they are waiting to get an official proposal from the Governor about what to do. Maybe, but that wasn't stopping the Lt. Governor (in his second TV ad in his quest to be the GOP candidate for Governor) to tell voters that the state government could easily function without a third of its 22 current departments. Of course, Lt. Governor failed to mention in his TV spot just which departments he would eliminate. But it is clear that Governor Bredesen's request that Ramsey act more like a Lt. Governor and less like a candidate for governor has fallen on deaf ears. In fact, Ramsey seems to be making Governor Bredesen and his previous proposals one of the main issues in the race.
But what will the Republicans propose? No one knows and there are reports it could be as long as the week after next before they have a plan ready to present. In fact right now, we know about what the Republicans say they won't cut to balance the budget than what they will. That includes (after some confusion in the GOP leadership ranks) leaving Pre-K untouched as well as no cuts in state salaries.
Watch this space. Something's got to be decided soon. And the stakes keep getting higher for Lt. Governor Ramsey. He has to come out a winner (no taxes) in this budget fight or undermine the whole theme of his gubernatorial campaign. Some Republicans in the State Senate are so hyper about taxes they won't even vote for them if those being taxed ask for and support the extra levy. That's apparently why Ramsey and two State Senators running for Congress (Diane Black & Jim Tracy) both red-lighted their votes on the new hospital tax which operators support in order to avoid more TennCare cuts.
As for Governor Bredesen, he seems willing to work out a compromise, once everyone puts their card (proposals) on the table. Meantime, he is enjoying achieving a major goal before he leaves office, having Tennessee's bond rating returned to the highest level. In the years before he took office, Tennessee's credit status slipped and the Governor has wanted to make it right ever since he came on board in 2003. And while some of the bond rating upgrade was for technical reasons, the Governor (and the General Assembly) can take some justifiable pride in getting this part of Tennessee's fiscal house back in good order.
Now let's turn to those who would be the next governor, where money always plays a big role. Congressman and GOP candidate Zach Wamp has sent out an e-mail asking for money "to help Zach stay on TV," telling supporters how donations of a certain size can buy "an ad on the TONIGHT SHOW in Memphis or…. even on American Idol in Nashville" as well as other TV shows and day-parts.
After complaining last week that the campaign of Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam was engaging in "push-polling," Wamp is also turning up the heat on his opponents in another way. Joining with Democratic candidate Mike McWherter (along I am sure they didn't really coordinate their efforts) both candidates wound up releasing their 2009 federal income tax returns, using the occasion to also criticize their opponents (Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam and Lt. Governor Ramsey) for not making full disclosures. Good try, but so far, I've seen no indication that Haslam or Ramsey plan to change their minds.
Finally, in the area of endorsements, former Democratic candidate Kim McMillan has endorsed McWherter, who is the lone major Democrat remaining in the primary field, while Lt. Governor Ramsey has followed behind Wamp and gone to Memphis to try and woo former GOP candidate and Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons to his side. Gibbons has given no indication just who he will support, although several of his key campaign aides have recently joined Wamp. The McMillan endorsement will likely help McWherter to some extent, at least to show that more "liberal" wing of the state Democratic Party is showing signs of uniting behind the party's gubernatorial candidate for the fall campaign.
For a while U.S. Senate Democrats seemed to be following the perfect definition for political insanity: Keep doing the same thing you've always done in the same way (try to pass major legislation without any GOP support) while still expecting to get a different result.
But this time on imposing new rules on Wall Street, it seems to have worked. Three times Republicans defeated efforts to start debate on the reform bill, but then they relented. Why? Was it because the deep seated anger in this country for the role Wall Street played in bringing on the Great Recession was so strong they had to give in and take their chances to amend the bill on the floor of Senate? Was it the latest Wall Street scandal involving Goldman Sachs, a controversy so hot members of both parties were denouncing the firm during recent Capitol Hill hearings? Or was it the prospect of having to spend the night in the Capitol on cots because the Senate Democratic leadership was planning an all-nighter to get Republicans to give it up?
Whatever it was, it worked, although it may be a few weeks yet before a final bill passes the Senate (with more filibuster efforts possible on some amendments). Then, don't forget the legislation has to be reconciled with what the House of Representatives has already passed.
The apparent end to the financial reform impasse also opens the door for Congress to consider still more massive, broad-ranging legislation on issues such as immigration, campaign finance reform and energy. Already Democrats are making proposals on these matters and finding no Republican support (sound familiar?).
And there are fights being waged over which issues will come to the floor first. I'd say given the recent immigration bill that passed in Arizona (and the controversy it is causing) that will be next up. But the increasing concern over the recent massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico could attract Congressional attention as well with the slogan of the day going now from "drill, baby, drill" to "clean up the spill, baby, the spill." This Gulf of Mexico eco-disaster once again raises the issue of why the government always seems to respond so slowly and poorly to a major crisis (remember Katrina) in that part of the country.
Meanwhile, for Congress, there appears to be no rest for the weary, not even from the threat of all night floor sessions and sleeping on a cot. J
I heard several weeks ago from a very good source that Metro Police Chief Ronal Serpas was being wooed back to New Orleans to be the Chief there. At the time, his office said there was nothing to it. Obviously, that's changed and Serpas all but has his bags packed if the job offer comes (he is now one of three finalists for the post).
There is no question that in his six years here, Chief Serpas has done a lot to improve the police department and lower the crime rate in our community. He is very popular with most of the public, perhaps most so than any chief since the days of "Hang 'Em High" Joe Casey. But some within his department and within the local business and political community have just never warmed to him.
Who will take his place? It's Mayor Dean's call and when I asked him about it on INSIDE POLITICS, he covered all his bases. He (like Chief Serpas) praised the current leadership team in the Police Department saying there were several who could step up and serve in the top job. But the Mayor added he does not want to rule out looking outside to see what candidates are there (much as his predecessor Bill Purcell always did in selecting Metro department heads).
Yes, there is an election Tuesday (May 4), even though from the turnout for early voting in most of the counties around here you could hardly tell it.
Nevertheless, the candidates for the two hotly contests offices here in Nashville (Juvenile & Criminal Court Clerks) are quite busy raising and loaning money to themselves for last minute TV ads (incumbent Vic Lineweaver & court clerk David Smith in the Juvenile race) along with sending out direct mail pieces (Karen Johnson in that same race). In the Criminal Court Clerk's race, it appears only incumbent David Torrence has had the money for some TV, while challenger Metro Councilman Michael Craddock has relied more on direct mail and robo-calls to voters.
Whether it will get anybody to vote on Tuesday remains to be seen.
If you want to know the results, join us on OPEN LINE on NEWSCHANNEL5 PLUS on Tuesday evening from 7-8 p.m. Channel 5 will be out at the polls gathering and phoning in the votes to our studios, so we should get a pretty good idea pretty early how the races are going. Then join me the following morning on MORNING LINE on NEWSCHANNEL5 PLUS from 8-9 a.m. to get the final vote numbers and some analysis about what happened. and what lies ahead with Metro Councilman Eric Crafton who is likely to be the GOP candidate for Juvenile Court Clerk in August, after winning a very rare Republican local primary in this county.
You see, there's always something interesting to watch in every election. We will also be monitoring the contested races in both Sumner and Williamson Counties.
After weeks of trying to finding some kind of compromise legislation about guns in bars and restaurants, the Tennessee State Senate seems to have given up. The upper chamber has passed legislation that simply says state gun permits owners are allowed to take their weapons into any establishment (bar or restaurant) that sells alcohol.
The only prohibition would be signs placed by the restaurant and/or bar owners that specifically prohibit firearms in their establishments. Lawmakers even took pains in the bill they passed to outline what the signs need to say and look like. They also strengthened penalties for both gun permit holders and for bar and restaurant owners who allow those with firearms to drink. Fair enough, but I guess that means only designated drivers packing heat are in the clear. Who else goes to a bar with a gun but doesn't drink? I fear enforcement of this bill, if it becomes law, won't be easy to do.
It is not clear what the House will do about this measure, but those who want the right to bear arms wherever alcohol is served (even if they can't drink) seem intent on having something back on the law books before this session of the General Assembly ends.

A state lawmaker wants Ohioans to be able to partake of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes.
Rep. Bob Hagan of Youngs- town, D-58th, introduced legislation this week with hopes of following Colorado and Washington as pot-friendly states.
House Bill 153 would allow medical marijuana use, with qualifying users required to register with the state and obtain physician certifications.
Hagan also is offering a joint resolution that would place general marijuana use before voters. It would allow adults "to legally purchase, cultivate and use cannabis recreationally," according to a press release.
"With billions upon billions spent on the war on drugs with little progress to show for it, it is time for more-sensible drug policy in this country," Hagan said in a released statement. "The new revenue the state receives from a marijuana tax could go a long way in restoring cuts to public education and our local governments. Such a significant question should be answered through a constitutional amendment on the ballot. This issue deserves a 'Yes' or 'No' vote by the people."
Neither proposal is expected to get much traction in the Republican-controlled Legislature.
"We have an extremely conservative general assembly right now," said Ronald V. Gerberry of Austintown, D-59th.
Gerberry said he's open to discussing medicinal marijuana use, but he has not committed to supporting it. He said marijuana has certain benefits for sick individuals, but getting House Bill 153 passed would be a challenge.
"This is the most conservative Legislature I have served with in the past 25 years, and based upon that, it would make passage very difficult," said Gerberry.
Medical purposes - YES, recreation purposes - NO. Do we want the younger generation watching their role models sitting around "smoking dope and jumping rope ? " Not a good idea.
The younger generation already sees adults drink alcohol. How is weed any different?
Do you really want someone working beside you that is "high" and their job depends on your safety? (sure the same can be said about alcohol but at least you can smell that on their breath). I can somewaht agree on the medicinal portion of the bill BUT there are prescrition meds for most that.
Why not leagalize PROSTITUTION -it's been leagal in Nevada for years. The State can make tax money from that also
What else can the State tax so it can make money?? Watch what you wish for!!!
Little early in the game to say what the benefits of tax revenues will bring. Reports are that now when having to pay taxes on their products profits are nose diving and select producers are claiming completion is lowering price points to where not the so called cash crop it once was. But take heed to reports that many jobs are going unfilled due to inability to pass drug screens. I personally don't want train, plane or motor operators using drugs on their day off because they paid taxes.
Fracking bad for your health. Smokin dope good for your health. I guess that about sums up Bobby's government legislation.
Conservatives are the most hypocritical people in the world and you're all showing it here. You say you want government out of your lives but then want to regulate what chemicals a person can put in their body or what two consenting adults can do with each others bodies. You either want government out of your lives or you don't. Pick a side and leave the rest of us alone.
When you look at all of the money and man power wasted to prosecute people for simple possession of marijuana and realize that the situation does not change, it's time to decriminalize possession.
Conservatives have never wanted government out of our lives. They only want their form of government in everyones life...
You are absolutely right!
"Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong."
– Terence McKenna
"If the words 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on." Terrance McKenna
Toy cannon,
WTF are you talking about? Unless you have an intelligent idea, you should probably keep quiet and not let your stupid show.
Misterlee is right! Alcohol, although legal, IS where most teens get their start with drugs that alter. Alcohol is a drug but look all the ads for alcohol. Also, as a cancer survivor, I can honestly tell you that Rx marijuana would have been a blessing during my chemotherapy treatments. The day after every treatment I was given an injection of Neulasta to boost my white blood cell count. The effects of it began the next day... Extreme joint pain, muscle aches. The breast cancer rate in our area is one of the highest in the nation not to mention all the other types that seem to be increasing in our area. I go back to my oncologist on 6/13... would anyone like to go with me to see the huge waiting room filled with patients?
"Psssst. If you vote for me, I'll get you some weed."
Ginger.....best of luck. It's a shame that so many cancer treatment centers are closing in this country due to resent legislation. Priorities.
So Bobbie Hagan is now in favor of legalizing recreational Marijuana use- What a Surprise?
The whole "medical marijuana" scam was just a "Trojan Horse" to make pot smoking acceptable to the mainstream. A typical left-wing trick. And what about lung damage caused by pot smoking- how is inhaling pot smoke any different from inhaling tobacco smoke- the lungs were designed to inhale oxygen, not smoke. Why give legal sanction to another practice injurious to health- we have enough already.
Republicans, stick to your guns and tell Bobbie and his tie-died sixties left over cronies to take a hike. If you don't it may be time to shop for a third party.
I'm actually for this. Hagan gets something right for once. The War on Drugs has been a massive failure and has led to nothing more than overcrowded prisons with nonviolent offenders as we continue releasing legitimate criminals of violent crimes out earlier and earlier.
For: Youngs......republican
A comment like yours coming from a self-declared Republican is a perfect illustration of why main-stream Republicans can't be relied upon to support Conservative Values- you sound like a Liberal Democrat to me in disguise pretending to be a Republican.(They're called "RINOS"- Republican in Name Only- and they're a lot of them around: Mitt Romney, John McCain, etc., the people who consistently lose elections for the Republican Party).
What we desperately need in this country is a Third Party as ardently committed to traditional values as the Dems are committed to overturning traditional values and replacing them with their own perverted belief system. At least the Dems- to give them credit- believe in something, however wrong-headed- the Republicans only seem to believe in being "nice" and "getting along" ("crossing the aisle" as loser John McCain likes to say).
A third Conservative Party would nicely balance the lefto Democrats. The Republicans could play the role of middle-ground Independents- The wishy-washy Swing Vote which would suit them very well.
P.S. Legalizing marijuana is a bad idea- no matter how much lefto pot heads like Bobbie Hagan and his aging flower kids would like to see it happen. For one thing, as I said in my post: you're encouraging people to inhale smoke and that's not very healthy- is it? Were trying desperately to deal with the health disaster caused by millions of people inhaling tobacco smoke- why do we want to encourage millions of people to inhale marijuana smoke. Does that make sense?
Also, why not keep the distinction between "medicinal" and "recreational" marijuana alive. Granted pot may have some medical benefits but that doesn't mean it should be approved for everyday casual use. Opium has medical uses, too, and no one (I could be wrong here!) says it should be available over the counter.
The baby boomer generation DESTROYED DESTROYED DESTROYED The United States of America!
Just say YES!
Yes to recreational and medical marijuana.
The milestone for denying marijuana was smashed and stepped upon by the free spirited bay boomer generation of "Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll". This baby boomer generation DESTROYED DESTROYED DESTROYED The United States of America.
The baby boomers gave us a country of the entitlement mentality, the drug culture, excess, laziness, "I'm getting mine - you get yours", and on and on.
The baby boomers legalized drugs decades ago, but the decent and moral and tax paying fear of god folk have tried to save this country legally and now it has come to this- a yes or no vote.
I say vote yes.
AND if marijuana IS a gateway drug onto heroine and crack, well, just imagine how many souls with a sense of entitlement minds will go to waste- all offspring of the baby boomers. Hey it's what THEY wanted anyway.
So lets vote yes to marijuana and vote no to EVERY entitlement for the baby boomer generation- social security, health care, medicare/medicaid, pensions/retirement, etc..
The baby boomers either smoked up our country or spent their savings, spent it all in Vegas and Disney World and now they want U.S. TAXPAYERS to bail THEM out?!
See. The baby boomers continue to ruin this country. First with drugs and now economically.
What will you baby boomers do to ruin our country next?
you might want to learn a little before you spout off. The end of prohibition of the healthful herb is comming to an end, 19 states have voted for MedMJ,and two states are outright legalizing, this was all done by a vote of the people,but I guess you figure it is some kind of commie left wing plot,Mmmm okey.And you are wrong about smoking cannabis,google Dr. Donald Tashkin,UCLA Cannabis and smoking research.
So basicly you are ignorant of the facts,scared about some imagined left wing plot,and a strong Republican,would have never guessed.

text: Dr. Jennifer McKay with Avera McKennan says the reason this study is so important is because the rates of smoking and obesity are moving in opposite directions. Smoking rates have declined by 20% while obesity rates have increased by 48%. This study is important because it not only addresses mortality but also looks at quality of life adjusted mortality. If this trend continues, all of the health improvements we've seen in the past 30 years because of smoking cessation will be eclipsed by complications related to obesity.

Albany fire officials believe an electrical problem may be to blame for a blaze at a business that happened late Monday night.
Firefighters were called to Bills Super Vitamins at 1111 North Slappey Boulevard about 11:40 p.m. The first unit to arrive discovered heavy smoke coming from the building.
Crews then made forced entry and found flames coming from around a display in the back of the business.
"Worst thing about it is that they have a lot of smoke damage and flame damage to the entire building at this time," said Battalion Chief Keith Ambrose. " But you know, nobody was hurt or anything."
Fire officials say it is too early to tell how much damage was caused in dollar amount.
Fire trucks blocked the southbound lanes of Slappey as firefighters battled the blaze. They were able to contain the fire in about 20 minutes.

With a package of executive orders on gun control going into effect from the national level, at the direction of President Obama, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant says any new federal gun control measures are not welcome in Mississippi.
"This is a dangerous path that we're starting down," said Bryant.
Bryant sent a letter to top lawmakers asking that legislation be passed to make any order deemed unconstitutional be illegal to enforce in Mississippi.
"What we're doing now is saying we're standing against the federal government taking away our civil liberties," said Bryant.
Bryant says some efforts from the president infringe on the second amendment right to keep and bear arms, such as a proposed ban on military-style assault weapons and limiting the number of rounds in ammunition magazines.
"We need to send a clear message to the federal government that we're not going to continue to enforce what we believe to be unconstitutional laws because it's simply an executive order," said Bryant.
Not all lawmakers are onboard with Bryant's push.
"I think it's very unthought-out, very knee-jerk," said Rep. Steve Holland, a democrat from Plantersville.
Holland says the President has a right to examine gun control issues and feels there's room for compromise.
"We can't do anything greater or less than the federal government allows us to do so it really much to do about nothing," said Holland.
That's not stopping legislation from happening. Bills reflecting the push from Bryant are being drafted in both chambers. Representative Mark Formby, a republican from Picayune, plans on submitting legislation in the house.
"I just believe that the second amendment has been one of those areas that has been stepped on, encroached upon, sometimes vaguely and some times specifically," said Formby.
"As executives across this nation, we're not happy with this type of thing and we will resist it through all legal means," said Bryant.
Bryant does support some of the efforts from the President such as a comprehensive back ground check on all gun sales. The deadline to submit bills in the house and senate is Monday.

Conflict of Interest
As defined in the University of Delaware's Policies and Procedures Manual, "a potential conflict of interest occurs when there is a divergence between an individual's private interests and his or her professional obligations such that an independent observer might reasonably question whether the individual's professional judgment, commitment, actions, or decisions could be influenced by considerations of personal gain, financial or otherwise. A conflict of interest depends on the situation, and should be evaluated on a case by case basis."
Involvement of faculty or professional staff with appropriate commercial enterprises is an important part of the transfer of knowledge and it is encouraged by the University to enhance both teaching and research programs. Association of faculty and professional staff with commercial enterprises should be such that it benefits all the parties involved including the University. All employees are expected to conduct their professional and personal duties with maximum integrity, and to avoid association with any activities that could diminish the effectiveness of their commitment to the University. It is the responsibility and obligation of faculty and professional staff to disclose all significant financial and commitment interests that may affect, or appear as if they could affect, their professional responsibilities.
Please read Policy 6-11 for more details >>
Additional information on UD's COI disclosure and management procedures can be found in the UD COI training module.
The conflict of interest disclosure form is now available as a UD Web routing form. Please click on the link below, and login using your UD NetID and password. Look for "Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form" under the tab "Blanks".
UD's policy on Conflict of Interest (COI) stems from the regulations and guidelines published by Federal funding agencies. Further details on reporting requirements specific to PHS-funded research can be found in the Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) tutorial provided by NIH.
The following examples are for guidance in the identification of potential conflicts of interest under the policy. The list does not cover all possible conflicts and is intended to be illustrative only.
Activities excluded from disclosure:
- Seminars, lectures, teaching engagements, or income from service on advisory committees or review panels sponsored by a federal, state, or local government agency, an institution of higher education, an academic teaching hospital, a medical center, or a research institute that is affiliated with an institution of higher education.
- Royalties, inventions, discoveries and patents under University Policy Number 6-6, and/or University Policy Number 6-7.
- Income from investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and retirement accounts, as long as the Investigator does not directly control the investment decisions made in these vehicles
Potential conflicts of interest that need to be disclosed:
- Any lease, sale, rent, or trade of real property to the University by the employee.
- Holding of a substantial financial interest in or participating in the profits of any organization that deals, or seeks to deal, with the University.
- Holding an appointment in or serving on the governing board of any organization that deals, or seeks to deal, with the University.
- Situations where students are directed into research areas or other activities from which the employee intends to realize personal financial gain. A conflict may arise if students are directed to areas of lesser scientific or scholarly merit to enhance the potential for monetary gain or if the financial potential exists only for the employee.
- Situations where the employee is asked to advise or serve an organization doing business in the general area of the employee's University responsibility or which is related to the field. • Situations where an employee is offered a position on a scientific or administrative board of an organization that has ties with the University.
- Situations where an employee is offered research support from an organization in which the employee serves as a director, member of an advisory board or as a consultant, or in which the employee holds a significant equity interest.
- Situations in which the employee is involved in independent business ventures as owner, operator or major investor, particularly if the entity is doing business with the University.

No prizes for guessing the fans' favourite at this race. Pictures of Ferrari star Fernando Alonso adorn most billboards around the city and the blue colours of Asturias, his home region, are all over the grandstands. The crowd's second favourite driver?

Earnings Preview: Analysts upbeat on JP Morgan into results
JP Morgan (JPM) is expected to report Q1 earnings before the market open on Friday, April 13, with a conference call scheduled for 8:30 am ET. The consensus estimate is $1.18 for EPS and $24.68B for revenue, according to First Call. In a note to investors on April 10, FBR Capital said that it expects JP Morgan to report strong Q1 results. The firm, which raised its target on JP Morgan to $50 from $46, expects the bank's results to be boosted by its exposure to mortgage banking and capital markets. Moreover, the firm expects all of the large banks to benefit from either an improving political environment or an economic rebound, and it maintains an Outperform rating on JP Morgan. Also upbeat on JP Morgan was Raymond James, which raised its target on the stock to $52 from $47 on March 26. The firm raised its Q1 EPS estimate for the bank by 14c to $1.15, citing an improved outlook for JP Morgan's investment bank and mortgage banking operations. Raymond James also expects the bank's Q1 results to get a boost from continued commercial loan growth and credit quality improvements and maintained its Strong Buy rating. Additionally, Citigroup and Bank of America Merrill Lynch raised their price targets on JP Morgan shares in late March. In an annual letter to shareholders released on April 4, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank's losses from its mortgage operations "are increasingly less severe." These losses, which are primarily responsible for the difference between what the bank is earnings and its profit potential of $23B-$24B, should last "a while longer," wrote Dimon, adding that the bank expects its earnings to increase over time.

Bank of America upgraded to Buy from Neutral at UBS
UBS upgraded its rating on shares of Bank of America (BAC) to Buy saying the company's deposit profile will benefit from rising interest rates. UBS believes the bank will be under less pressure than peers to pass on rate increases to deposit holders, driving higher long-term earnings power from higher rates. The firm raised its price target for shares to $20 from $16.80. UBS coupled its upgrade of Bank of America with a downgrade of JPMorgan (JPM) to Neutral.

Judge says JPMorgan must face class action suit over $10B MBS case, Reuters says
A federal judge ruled that JPMorgan must face an investor led class action lawsuit that claims the bank misled investors about the safety of $10B of mortgage-backed securities, or MBS, it sold before the financial crisis, Reuters reports. Judge Paul Oetken certified a class action for JPMorgan's liability, but not for damages, saying it was unclear how investors could value the certificates they bought. Judge Oetken said the plaintiffs could attempt to certify a class on damages.

Webster Financial to acquire HSA business from JPMorgan
Webster Financial (WBS), the holding company for Webster Bank, N.A., said that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire the health savings account, or HSA, business from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a subsidiary of JPMorgan Chase (JPM). Under the agreement, approximately 700,000 accounts, including an estimated $1.3B in deposits and $175M in investments, will migrate from JPMorgan Chase Bank to HSA Bank, a division of Webster Bank, over a transitional period. In the near term, Webster will use approximately 60% of the deposits to pay down short-term borrowings with the remaining funds invested in securities. Transaction consideration will be all cash; the purchase price was not disclosed. Webster expects the transaction to be modestly accretive to earnings per share and return on equity in the first year following closing. The transaction is expected to improve Webster's loan-to-deposit ratio to approximately 80% from 87% pro forma at June 30. The company estimates the transaction will have tangible book value dilution of approximately 3%. JPMorgan Chase has advised Webster that the transaction is not expected to have a material impact on JPMorgan Chase's earnings.

Visa to undertake assessment of stake in Monitise
Visa (V) and Monitise entered into an alliance agreement in 2009. At the same time, Visa began investing in Monitise. Given the maturation of Monitise as a company, Visa is considering its options with respect to the investment and has engaged J.P. Morgan Securities (JPM) to assist. Visa will also be lessening its dependence on external mobile development resources. In 2009, in conjunction with its commercial partnership, Visa invested in Monitise as a 14.4% owner of the company in order to provide capital support to a leader in the evolution of the mobile payments sector. Over time, Visa�s holdings have been reduced to its current 5.5% stake in the company. This reduction in ownership and associated influence is consistent with Visa�s investment practice to seed emerging players and, over time, taper that influence as the partner company grows. Under their agreement, Monitise will provide Visa with mobile platform development services through 2016. As both Visa and the payments industry evolve at a rapid pace, Visa intends to continue increasing its investment in its own in-house capabilities and, as a result, reducing its use of external resources.

- New Menu is Awesomemgp1981VIPDined on 7/28/2014I tried the new menu and the shrimp creole was out of this world. The lunch prices have gone up quite a bit but portions haven't. I think that is the only negative. I had a new waiter and he was not as good as my usuals. Also, I didn't see the manager interacting with the customers as in previous visits.Special Features:
- Excellent timemgp1981VIPDined on 7/22/2014Great food and atmosphere. The meat pie appetizer was wow! The special baked ziti made my tummy happy and only cost 9.99!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great First Tastejpmiller08Dined on 7/18/2014We tried Le Creole during Baton Rouge restaurant week and were highly satisfied. The waitstaff was extremely attentive and kept the meal moving nicely without making us ever feel rushed. Four our appetizers we had the apple-wood smoked tomato soup and the handmade meat pies and both were very good. We both ordered a steak and mashed potatoes for dinner and both were cooked to specification. Once again this was an apple-wood smoked item and the smoke flavor was at times overwhelming but that is more a personal taste and wasn't a food preparation issue. We ordered the bread pudding and flour less brownie sundae for dessert and both were good but nothing spectacular.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Dinner spotThebeavDined on 7/17/2014Great ambiance, a litter understaffed the evening we went but overall very good. I would highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- DeliciousMadmcDined on 7/16/2014We ate in the bar area as we find it much quieter. We have been to Le Creole many times. We went for restaurant week and selected from the special menu. The selections were varied and delicious. The drinks were just right, the appetizers/entries and desserts were delicious and the service was very good. It is my understanding they will be revising their menu which we are excited to see and will returning to see what changes they will be adding. Not to insult those families with children but we do not go to dinner to be around tables with noisy children. We want to have a quiet environment in which we can enjoy our meal and have a nice conversation. We were definitely able to have both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/16/2014The only things that I ordered that was good was the appetizer and the dessert. My steak was a terrible cut of meat very stringy and touch. I found it very disappointing that our server Tyrone found it necessary at the end of the meal to tell us that gratuity is 20% and that he did not add that on to the bill. This offended me, as I always leave 20% gratuity for dinner and did not need to be told what to leave.Special Features:

- Great Food, Atmosphere and Service!lswilkerson2002Dined on 6/28/2014Went to Le Creole for a celebratory dinner for several family members who had recent major career promotions. We were joyfully greeted immediately as we came in and were seated within a minute or two of our arrival. Michael, our server, did a great job, as he had been called in from a sister restaurant and admittedly not totally familiar with the menu/food, chefs and service computer, but he worked his tail off! The food was excellent, and I was able to find something to stay within my dietary needs. I would come back again, for sure. Would l love to try the brunch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Le CreoleKaysywaysyDined on 6/24/2014My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary at Le Creole. Everyone, from the hostess to the waiter to the bus boys, made us feel special. We were especially happy to see that Tommy Mansour is now employed there...he is definitely an asset to any business! Our meal was superb and we were surprised by a delicious complimentary dessert for our special day. The entire evening was delightful and we will certainly return, as well as recommend it to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing service!DateNightFoodieDined on 6/22/2014Went here for my husbands 25th birthday for brunch and it was an awesome experience! Service was wonderful, our server greeted my husband and shook his hand to wish him happy birthday. They brought out an awesome piece of cake with a candle. We had bottomless mimosas, the crap cake appetizer, the filet and eggs, and the chicken and waffles! Everything was great! Can't wait to come back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Five StarsSODmomDined on 6/21/2014It has been a very long time since I went to a restaurant and gotten the quality food and service as at Le Creole.

- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014Overall disappointing. Went there for Father's Day. It was very crowded. Waiter kept saying the kitchen was backed up. The steak was not cooked properly and had to be sent back.Special Features:
- Wonderful treatLuvyummyDined on 6/15/2014I took my husband to Le Creole for Father's Day. We had a delightful time.....the food was very good, the noise level was good and the piano was a nice touch but I must say that the service made our day. Our waiter was attentive and professional without being overbearing and had a charming personality. We will certainly ask for him for future visits. We always enjoy Le Creole's menu and chef. Everyone there is doing a great job.Special Features:
- GREATOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/14/2014I love this restaurant. The food is interesting and always delicious. The waitstaff is attentive without being overbearing. The piano is the perfect touch. There's also plenty of dishes that would be great to order at the bar with drinks...particularly the lobster wontons and both flatbreads.Special Features:
- New servers need better trainingmgp1981VIPDined on 6/12/2014I was not happy with the new server and he didn't know much about menu or kitchen. New servers should be trained better. Also the restaurant had no ranch dressing. Very strange. Otherwise good experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Experience!!LoveLouisianaDined on 6/10/2014Le Creole's is a gem of a place that was perfect for a business lunch. The service was outstanding, and the food was incredible. We never felt rushed, but we were always attended to. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want great Louisiana cuisine and service. It certainly is the tops in both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- 1st time to LeCreole & going back!LuvGudFudDined on 6/6/2014My husband and I finally decided to treat ourselves to a dinner out on Friday evening at LeCreole for the first time. We were not aware of the level of fine dining that LeCreole presents so we were a bit under-dressed, but the door was opened for us by the manager with a warm greeting. The staff all exhibited the same warm and friendly (and professional) attitude that we received by the manager. All of the staff's attire was impeccable & very professional, as well as the restaurant. Live music was playing in the other room but was not overpowering our experience so we could still talk. Then the food arrived. I definitely want to go back to get the flat bread again, and my husband loved the turtle soup. Our main entrees were amazing! Go!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Saving a Graph in FIG-File Format
Saving to a Different Format — Exporting Figures
Note To save a figure in a format that is compatible with MATLAB® versions prior to 7, refer to Plot Objects and Backward Compatibility for more information.
The MATLAB FIG-file is a binary format to which you can save figures so that they can be opened in subsequent MATLAB sessions. The whole figure, including graphs, graph data, annotations, data tips, menus and other uicontrols, is saved. (The only exception is highlighting created by data brushing.) These files have a .fig filename extension.
To save a graph in a figure file,
Select Save from the figure window File menu or click the Save button on the toolbar. If this is the first time you are saving the file, the Save As dialog box appears.
Make sure that the Save as type is MATLAB Figure (*.fig) on the drop-down menu.
The graph is saved as a figure file (.fig), which is a binary file format used to store figures.
You can also use the saveas command.
Use the hgsave command to create backward compatible FIG-files.
If you want to save the figure in a format that can be used by another application, see Saving to a Different Format — Exporting Figures.
To open a figure file, perform these steps:
Select Open from the File menu or click the Open button on the toolbar.
Select the figure file you want to open and click OK.
The figure file appears in a new figure window.
You can also use the open command.
To save a figure in a format that can be used by another application, such as the standard graphics file formats TIFF or EPS, perform these steps:
Select Export Setup from the File menu. This dialog provides options you can specify for the output file, such as the figure size, fonts, line size and style, and output format.
Select Export from the Export Setup dialog. A standard Save As dialog appears.
Select the graphic format from the list of formats in the Save as type drop-down menu. This selects the format of the exported file and adds the standard filename extension given to files of that type.
Enter the name you want to give the file, less the extension.
Note: Whenever you specify a format for saving a figure with the Save As menu item , that file format is used again the next time you save that figure or a new one. If you do not want to save in the previously-used format, use Save As and be sure to set the Save as type drop-down menu to the kind of file you want to write. However, saving a figure with the saveas function and a format does not change the Save as type setting in the GUI.
On Microsoft® systems, you can also copy a figure to the clipboard and then paste it into another application:
Select Copy Options from the Edit menu. The Copying Options page of the Preferences dialog box appears.
Complete the fields on the Copying Options page and click OK.
Select Copy Figure from the Edit menu.
The figure is copied to the Windows® clipboard. You can then paste the figure from the Windows clipboard into a file in another application.
Before printing a figure,
Select Print Preview from the File menu to set printing options, including plot size and position, and paper size and orientation.
The Print Preview dialog box opens.
Make changes in the dialog box. Changes you can make are arranged by tabs on the left-hand pane. If you want the printed output to match the annotated plot you see on the screen exactly,
On the Layout tab, click Auto (Actual Size, Centered).
On the Advanced tab, click Keep screen limits and ticks.
For information about other options for print preview, click the Help button in the dialog box.
To print a figure, select Print from the figure window File menu and complete the Print dialog box that appears.
You can also use the print command.
You can generate a MATLAB file from a graph, which you can then use to reproduce the graph. This feature is particularly useful for capturing modifications you make using the plot tools.
Select Generate Code from the File menu.
The generated code displays in the MATLAB Editor.
Generated files do not store the data necessary to recreate the graph, so you must supply the data arguments. The data arguments do not need to be identical to the original data. Comments at the beginning of the file state the type of data expected.
For example, the following statements illustrate a case where three input vectors are required.
function createplot(X1, Y1, Y2)
% X1: vector of x data
% Y1: vector of y data
% Y2: vector of y data

When Louise Benson began her ministry to the poor in 1964, she started with two critical ideas. She firmly believed that everyone shared responsibility in working to overcome the injustice of poverty in our society and that we will have sufficient resources in our community to make this happen. 47 years later, these fundamental concepts of hard work, justice, and shared responsibility still frame the critical work of Sacred Heart Community Service.
We are honored to present Sacred Heart Community Service's Strategic Plan for 2010-2013. This roadmap is the culmination of a three-year process of reflection, analysis, dialogue and decision-making with board, staff, volunteers, and partners.

A few months ago, Alain Bell and his family moved into this house on Cleburne right across from Coach Muhammed's place.
"He kept to himself. I could tell you he loved his kids. He did all the work and let the kids sit around. That's the picture we painted and that's the man I knew." said Muhammed.
But it turns out he didn't know him well at all. He didn't know that in 1984, Bell was charged with robbery with a deadly weapon. He didn't know that He was sentenced to 45 years in prison for aggravated sexual assault. He served 15 years and was released in 2000. He didn't know Bell was a registered sex offender.
Even if they had known, there was no way to have known that he would allegedly lie in wait with a shotgun for his ex-wife's husband. That he would gun down David Stoneham without saying a word as he arrived at home. Stoneham was a Houston fire inspector since 1999 and with the Fire department since 1980. Stoneham's 17 year old daughter was just a few feet away at the time of the shooting.
The reason Bell had moved into the house on Cleburne is because the bank had foreclosed on his house in Alief. Neighbors there say he was quiet but odd. Tyrell Gaines played basketball with Bell's son and says he was a mystery to his family too.
"He was like. He's rarely here. I was like, what do you think he's doing? and he was like, I don't know. We don't really talk about," said Gaines.
Gaines says he knew about him being a registered sex offender, but never pictured him as an alleged killer.
"I would've never thought he'd do something like that."

What celebrity has your favorite hairstyle?
Get to the Point: Dissect the style, and pick what elements you can achieve with that person's hair.
Part of being a celebrity is having great hair, and part of being a great stylist is being able to translate celebrity hair to that of the everyday great woman. As it can often be difficult for a client to accurately describe what she is looking for in a great color and cut, ask her to share who in Hollywood has the best hair, and what specifically she loves about it. Hopefully, if your client has an adorable blonde pixie cut mirroring Michelle Williams or Carey Mulligan, she won't start raving about how gorgeous Kim K's dark flowing locks are. However, if your client has flowing locks and starts talking about Carey's pixie, you will clearly know which direction you and your adventurous client may be headed.
Do you have any pictures that inspired you?
Get to the Point: a picture speaks a thousand words.
Just like a bob, this saying never goes out of style; it is simply modified to speak to the current generation. In order to assist in your client and you having the same vision about her hair, using pictures is a great way to identify the exact shade of red your client is dreaming about, or exactly what kind of layering she desires as she continues to grow her hair out. If you can create an opportunity to connect with your client on the phone prior to her first visit, ask her to bring in a couple pictures. If not, have a couple of hair magazines ready for her when she arrives in order to not consume too much time.
Just like first dates, first time consultations are impossible to predict, but by being prepared with these questions, in addition to other useful tips My Best Friend's Hair provides (including an iPad app to help consultations), successful consultations can lead to long lasting, healthy, and happy hair relationships.
Danielle McDowell is the co-founder of MyBestFriendsHair.com, a site that connects clients with products, stylists and salons.

Recruitment Events
Every year UCL Careers Service organises a number of events for graduate employers to meet and speak with UCL students. We enjoy working with a variety of SMEs, multi-national corporates and FTSE100 companies from the public, private, commercial and not-for-profit sectors and we encourage any employer to have a look at the events we offer to see if we can help you with your recruitment needs.
UCL Careers Fairs
Exhibiting at an industry specific UCL Careers Fair will raise the profile of your organisation amongst hundreds of our most motivated students actively researching graduate and undergraduate opportunities in your sector.
What exhibitors at our Fairs have told us:
"Really impressed with the calibre of candidates. Students were well prepared & professional. Great turn out from all year groups and degree subjects. Success!" Allen & Overy LLP
"Well run, lots of students and friendly staff!" Capgemini
"Great as always!" TfL
"It was a really great experience & the directions & the pre-fair information were excellent so we were very well informed. The support on the day was also very good. All in all a fantastically run event!" VMware
More information about careers fairs for 2014
Employer Presentations
A presentation is an effective way for an organisation with a strong "brand" as a recruiter to meet interested UCL students and graduates and encourage them to apply.
We can host and promote a campus presentation for you, or promote an event at your own premises or other venue. If you are not looking for a formal presentation we offer other campus events such as 1:1 drop-ins with individual students and graduates, interviewing facilities or promotional stands where you can distribute literature or chat to interested students.
If your organisation is new to recruiting at UCL, or you are at all worried about how well you are known as a recruiter, we recommend taking part in one of our Fairs or Themed Weeks instead, where you are guaranteed to meet a large number of students.
For more information about presenting your organisation to UCL students take a look at our flyer.
Please contact Pat Molloy on 020 7866 3622, or email@example.com.
Themed Career Weeks
For sectors not covered by our range of Careers Fairs we hold a range of Themed Career Weeks which include skills workshops, presentations, panel discussions and career forums. These bespoke events are an ideal way of promoting both your sector and your organisation. Areas covered include:
- Academia
- Arts
- Charities and NGOs
- Environment
- International Careers
- Media
- Museums and Cultural Heritage
- Science
To find out more about these individual events please email email@example.com or call 020 7866 3622
PhD Employer Forums
PhD Employer Forums are events specifically targeted to inform UCL research students about different sectors outside of academia. These events are an ideal way of promoting not only your sector but also your organisation as students will be wanting to know about the different roles within the sector, opportunities that are currently available and the best routes in for progression. As an employer you can get involved by participating as a speaker or coming along to the networking session after a panel discussion.
To find out more about these individual events
please email Vivienne Watson or call 020 7866 3628.
UCL PhD Fairs
Our PhD Fairs are mini careers fairs which give you the chance to engage specifically with UCL research students wanting to find out more about graduate/research opportunities in your sector.
For each PhD Fair, we take great care to target publicity to the relevant academic departments although any student with an interest in the sector is welcome to attend.
Exhibiting at a UCL PhD Fair will raise the
profile of your organisation amongst our most motivated research students
who are actively pursuing careers in your sector.
There will also be opportunities to engage in one-to-one discussions with individual students if you feel that they may be of interest to your organisation.
To find out more about these individual events please email Vivienne Watson or call 020 7866 3628.

- What are experimental statistics?
- How should users interpret such series?
- Why the increasing number of experimental series?
- When are statistics experimental?
- How do experimental statistics arise?
- Why publish experimental statistics?
- When do experimental statistics become non-experimental?
- What is the policy on dissemination of experimental statistics?
What are experimental statistics?These are statistics that are in the testing phase and are not fully developed.
How should users interpret such series?It is important that users clearly understand the status of these series and the cautions that apply (which will vary for each statistic). The particular limitations of each series is explained in the information that accompanies it.
Why the increasing number of experimental series?There is a greater emphasis within ONS on consulting users during methodological reviews and the development stage of methodological changes. In particular there is a strong desire to make experimental series available during a development period, to assist in the quality assurance process, and to help familiarise potential users with any changes. There have also been various initiatives to increase the scope of economic statistics, particularly within the service sector.
When are statistics experimental?Defining what is experimental and non-experimental is largely a matter of statistical judgement, but typically experimental series arise when:
- they are being produced part way through a well defined development programme - whether these statistics are new or changed versions of existing statistics
- statistics are new but still subject to testing in terms of their volatility and ability to meet customer needs;
- the statistics do not yet meet the rigorous quality standards of National Statistics, or
- a rich variety of new measures is available from a new set of statistics, with components that have considerable immediate value to users. These users are aware of the statistics' theoretical quality and can make use before ONS has completed all operational testing. The testing is designed to fully validate the measures to the standard expected of National Statistics.
How do experimental statistics arise?The experimental nature of such statistics may reflect:
- new methods which are being tested and are still subject to modification
- partial coverage (eg; of industries) at that stage of the development programme, or
- potential modification in the light of user feedback, in terms of usefulness and credibility versus other sources.
Why publish experimental statistics?The aims of their publication include:
- Consultation: ONS would like to get informed feedback from potential users
- Acclimatisation: where the experimental series are alternative versions of the format of existing series, ONS may wish to help users become accustomed to new presentations
- Use: experimental series can provide very useful information for users as long as their nature is well explained and understood.
When do experimental statistics become non-experimental?This will be a matter of statistical judgement, but typically will take into account factors such as:
- When it is judged that statistical methods have settled down
- When coverage reaches a good level
- When user feedback indicates that these statistics are useful and credible
- When the defined development phase has ended
- When it is judged that the statistics meet the rigorous quality standards of National Statistics.
What is the policy on dissemination of experimental statistics?ONS' policy on dissemination of experimental statistics is being developed, but currently states that:
Experimental series will be introduced by an article on the NS Website and in the appropriate "Trends" publication, to explain their concepts and construction etc.
Experimental series will then be updated on the NS Website. They will be accessible via a dedicated area of the Latest Releases section. This will ensure that the status of the series is clear. Articles and/or tables can be made available for downloading.
Whilst updates for experimental series will be disseminated via the Website, the information may also appear in paper publications, such as the next edition of the appropriate "Trends" publication. It is important that in all cases these statistics are clearly marked as experimental.
