Iran to approve bill to halt oil exports to Europe - Iran privatizes oil production
Iran's parliament is expected to approve a bill on Sunday, Jan 29, requiring the government to immediately halt oil export to Europe, in response to the EU embargo.
"The draft law to be debated in Iran's parliament stipulates for halting oil export to the European Union as early as next week," Fars News Agency quoted Vice-Chairman of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Ibrahimi as saying.
"On Sunday, the parliament will have to approve a 'double emergency' bill calling for a halt in the export of Iranian oil to Europe starting next week," Ibrahimi said.
Also, member of the Parliament's Energy Commission Moayed Hosseini Sadr said that "if the deputies arrive at the conclusion that the Iranian oil exports to Europe must be halted, the parliament will not delay a moment (in passing the bill)".
"If Iran's oil exports to Europe, which is about 18 percent (of Iran's total oil exports) come to a halt, the Europeans will surely be taken by surprise, and will understand the power of Iran and will realize that the Islamic establishment will not succumb to the Europeans' policies," he said.
Meantime, Iran's OPEC governor Mohammad Ali Khatibi told the Iranian labors news agency that the country might choose to raise the issue at the next meeting of the oil cartel.
January 28, 2012 - 11:15 AMT
Mr Mohsen Khojastemehr the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting said that just 7 out of 142 subsidiaries of the ministry have been excluded from the privatization process.
Previously, Mr Ahmad Qalebani MD of the National Iranian Oil Company said that the company plans to privatize the work of production and exploitation from the country's oil and gas fields.
Mr Qalebani said that the country's Fifth Five Year Development Plan (2010-2015) has authorized the NIOC to hand over the exploitation of oil and gas fields to the private sector. The NIOC will keep controlling and monitoring the production process.
In August 2011, Mr Alireza Zeighami MD of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company said that Iran intended to privatize seven of its oil refineries by the end of the Iranian calendar year.
Mr Zeighami said that Isfahan, Bandar Abbas, Tabriz, Shiraz, Kermanshah, Lavan, and Tehran oil refineries will be transferred to the private sector but the ownership of Abadan and Arak oil refineries will remain in government control.

Faith's Checkbook - November 3
November 3
In God's Time
"For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry" (Habakkuk 2:3).
Mercy may seem slow, but it is sure. The LORD in unfailing wisdom has appointed a time for the outgoings of His gracious power, and God's time is the best time. We are in a hurry; the vision of the blessings excites our desire and hastens our longings; but the LORD will keep His appointments. He never is before His time; He never is behind. God's word is here spoken of as a living thing which will speak and will come. It is never a dead letter, as we are tempted to fear when we have long watched for its fulfillment. The living word is on the way from the living God, and though it may seem to linger, it is not in reality doing so. God's train is not behind time. It is only a matter of patience, and we shall soon see for ourselves the faithfulness of the LORD. No promise of His shall fail; "it will not lie." No promise of His will be lost in silence; "it shall speak." What comfort it will speak to the believing ear! No promise of His shall need to be renewed like a bill which could not be paid on the day in which it fell due-"it will not tarry." Come, my soul, canst thou not wait for thy God? Rest in Him and be still in unutterable peacefulness.

NEW YORK (AP) — Manhattan shoppers hit the stores along famed 34th Street a bit harder this Black Friday.
The 34th Street Partnership says about 4 percent more shopping bags were tallied leaving stores in Herald Square Friday: 51,165 bags this year versus 49,044 bags last year.
But the news wasn't good for everyone: Macy's saw fewer bags leaving its flagship store this year. The Manhattan Mall, which includes a variety of stores, had more bags. Items are counted by 34th Street Partnership staff members equipped with hand-held counters stationed at exits of stores.
About 42 percent of the 1,800 shoppers polled on the street say they're spending more this year.
The stretch of shops is one of the world's busiest shopping districts. Among the stores include large department stores and smaller specialty shops.

Forever destined to be known as the series that inspired Chris Carter to create The X-Files, this little-seen one-season wonder from the mid '70s sees investigative reporter Carl Kolchak encountering everything from werewolves and vampires to rampaging robots and Jack the Ripper. Viewed more than 30 years on, Kolchak's exploits have, incredibly, lost none of their original appeal: the show is still awe-inspiringly frightening, thrilling and funny, while the recently deceased Darren McGavin remains terrifically watchable, as his irresistible Kolchak tenaciously bumbles through a (doomed) quest to prove the existence of supernatural and otherworldly forces at play on Earth - and don't be put off by the lame 2005 remake starring Stuart Townsend; this Night Stalker is a shining star of fantasy TV.
BEST BIT Kolchak whistles the start of the show's theme tune and happily sits at his typewriter at the beginning of the title sequence. Cue mean and moody music and creepy time-lapse photography. Genius.

Donald Cerrone had thoughtsabout retiring as he was preparing to face Evan Dunham at UFC 167. Had he not won the fight, "Cowboy" said he was ready to hang up the gloves, mainly because he lost the fire that once drove his passion to fight.
Recently, however, Cerrone said he's ready to come back with an all new focus. The drive to fight is back, he said, and this time he plans on being more responsible with his finances.
"What really happened is I spent all my money and now I'm broke," Cerrone told Majority Draw Radio. "Now I only got one choice, and that's to fight.
"It's hard to have money in the bank and want something and then not get it. I just (expletive) buy it. I have no idea what saving money is. It has nothing to do with wanting to go broke. I wish I had millions in the bank; I'd never go broke. Let's get that belt and get millions in the bank."
The downslope, as Cerrone referred to it, began around the time he lost his UFC 141 fight against Nate Diaz. Since then, the Jackson's MMA standout said he began to taper off in his training, being present physically, but lacking the mental focus that he had in years prior.
The problem, Cerrone revealed, was that he reached a comfort zone and remained there for an extended period of time.
"What happened was I got real comfortable financially, and just kind of let off everything — my training, I lost my fire," he said. "I was training, going through the motions."
Even as he collected a notable win over K.J. Noons at UFC 160 last May, Cerrone said he was missing something.
"I was fighting, but didn't have that inner kill in me," he said.
Now Cerrone wants back in the cage, and desires those millions of dollars that he said comes with a championship belt. His next fight is at UFC on Fox 10 on Jan. 25, then he targets UFC 171, the pay-per-view card in Dallas headlined by Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler.
Beyond his next opponent, Adriano Martins, the most willing competitor to fight the 155-pound Cerrone is Cole Miller, a featherweight that earned the Submission of the Night award at UFC Fight Night 35 earlier this week. Miller has long desired a match with Cerrone because of some personal differences, and he called out Cowboy just moments after his win in Duluth, Ga., asking him to drop to 145 pounds for the fight to happen.
More MMA
"I'm gonna send Mike Dolce over to you and you can put the bill on me," Miller said in his post-fight interview this past Wednesday. "He's probably gonna tell you the same thing I'm gonna tell you: Lay off them cheeseburgers and Twinkies, homie."
Unfortunately for Miller, the timing for the two to meet in Dallas might not work after all, as Miller broke his hand in the UFC Fight Night 35 win.
But if both heal and recover well enough, Miller can get what he wants on a later card, and Cerrone can grab yet another payday in an effort to stay thoroughly active in 2014.
"We're going for six this year, brother," Cerrone said, referencing how many fights he plans on in 2014. "I like money."

lol… his 10 acre Ranch def needs an inground pool
Definition of Man Child
I listened to entire interview on Majority Draw Radio and one of the interviewers did a follow up on Cerrone and said all his stuff is paid in full. He doesn't have money in his bank account. I think they said being cash poor.
I think his situation is sad. The Cowboy needs to save some money and or get help. He says in the interview going home and just reading a book after training is boring but what is the alternative. Keep fighting because your broke all the time because you can't stop help yourself.
Damn, Sorry to feel bad for a guy who makes more in a night than I do in a year.
The UFC may need to look into financial planning with these fighters like the NFL does but I mean to just spend all your money and not think twice really?
Send your donations to BrokebackCowboy.com lol
F him. Stupid people make their own beds and don't want to sleep in them. He could always get a part time at Mickey D's!
If he thinks "making millions" will somehow change things, he's got a rude awakening. He'll just want bigger, more expensive toys to play with. He needs to grow-up and curb his impulses.
Plenty of millionaires go broke all the f'n time.
Hell he could make millions n millions if they ever do a midget movie of walker Texas ranger!!!!!
Your an idiot. He is 4 inches taller than Chick Norris.
Guys like Velasquez fight to feed their family not buy crap. They do not get lazy because the fridge has to be full again next week they have no option but to become champions.
cant feel bad for this guy. the single worst reputation fighter in MMA. his real side is disgusting. he once fired a manager because he didnt bring back enough girls after the fight for "cowboy" to have sex with. cerrone was also well known to have passed one of his prior girlfriends around to his friends at his ranch. he used to date a very well known female fighter and told her that if she didnt bang leonard garcia that she had to move her stuff out of his house and never speak to him again. granted, the girl had problems of her own, but to be that way? he is a disgusting arrogant person.
Classic athlete who will be bankrupt
Just go get a construction job and move on. Or how about a college degree? amazing how dumb these guys are.
yeah give up your passion and live an oh so enjoyable 9-5 life.
bunch of fair weather fans here.
cowboy brings it 90% of the time and it's not like he's losing to scrubs.

Cast: Connie Chan Po-chu, Leung Sing-po, Chiang Kuang-chao
1959 / B&W / D Beta / Cantonese / 98min
Before she became the young princess of Hong Kong cinema, Connie Chan Po-chu starred in this boisterous comedy as a young boy scout under an unemployed seaman posing as his scout master twin brother (both played by Leung Sing-po). Even though this hilarious comedy of mistaken identities produced by MP & GI boasts Leung as its star, it is Connie's mischievous boy scout prankster who steals the spotlight. Even at her young age, Connie is surprisingly adept at playing a character of the opposite sex, even taking on romantic scenes with Leung Sing-po's daughter Leung Po-chu!

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com prediction: Ken Whisenhunt out in Arizona
The Arizona Cardinals will wrap up their season Sunday in San Francisco.
Come Monday, Ken Whisenhunt's tenure as the team's head coach may end, too.
Barring an upset against the 49ers the Cardinals will finish the season with a 5-11 record -- their second such mark in the last three seasons -- with many believing the only coach to lead the franchise to the Super Bowl will be out of work.
Included in that group is NFL.com's Adam Schein, who wrote a piece about what is known as "Black Monday".
Whisenhunt is a very good coach. If Arizona had held on to beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII, there would be a Ken Whisenhunt statue outside of the Cardinals' stadium. Personally, I wouldn't fire Whisenhunt.
But this season has been an embarrassment. The quarterback situation is between sad and laughable, and Whisenhunt hasn't handled it well. The no-show against the Seattle Seahawks was alarming. They are wasting Larry Fitzgerald and a talented defense.
The educated guess: Whisenhunt is let go, and defensive coordinator Ray Horton takes over as head coach.
The common theme from most "experts" is that Whisenhunt is a good coach who has done a poor job the last few years. His first three years in the desert led to 27 wins and two playoff appearences, while his last three have seen the team win just 18 games. In all, Whisenhunt has a 45-50 mark with the Cardinals.

The Ottawa Senators have agreed to terms with defenceman Jared Cowen on a four-year contract.
Cowen began the 2012-13 season with the Binghamton Senators, recording three assists in three games. He underwent surgery in November to repair a torn labrum in his left hip, sidelining him until April when he made his NHL season debut against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The 22-year-old Cowen played seven regular-season NHL games last season, scoring one goal. He also played in each of Ottawa's 10 playoff games against the Montreal Canadiens and Pittsburgh Penguins, recording three assists and 21 penalty minutes.
Cowen was the Senators' first-round pick (ninth overall) in the 2009 NHL draft.
He played in all 82 games of his rookie season with the Senators in 2011-12, scoring five goals and adding 12 assists.

SC10: Take advantage of Education, Diversity, and Volunteer Programs
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Thought you couldn't afford SuperComputing 2010? Rethink it! In addition to job fairs and networking opportunities, SC10 announced that it will have education, diversity, and volunteer programs at the November 13-19 event in New Orleans. The announcement says, "In keeping with the theme for this year's conference, 'The Future of Discovery,' SC10 is now offering opportunities to students, faculty, and emerging leaders from groups traditionally underrepresented in computing to discover the international conference for high-performance computing, networking, storage and analysis."
Read more from the announcement to find out how you can take advantage of free conference registration, housing, meals and help with travel expenses:
The following programs are now accepting applications:
The Broader Engagement Program offers students, faculty and professionals from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in high-performance computing (HPC) an introduction to SC through networking and technical sessions. Sessions immediately preceding the conference provide an introduction to and professional development in HPC and computational science. Community building activities include the mentor/protégé program, which matches Broader Engagement and Student Volunteer protégés with self-identified mentors attending SC. Applications for participation grants in Broader Engagement are due Aug. 16. Details are available at: http://sc10.supercomputing.org/?pg=broadeng.html. For more information, email: email@example.com.
The Education Program introduces HPC and computational tools, resources and methods to undergraduate faculty and pre-college educators. During a four-day intensive workshop, educators are shown ways they can integrate HPC and computational techniques into their classrooms and research programs. Participants are immersed in HPC, networking, storage and analysis. Special events scheduled for SC10 include a teacher's day, and support for high school field trips. Limited travel support is available; those not receiving travel support may participate by paying a separate registration fee. Travel support applications are due July 31; details are available at: http://sc10.supercomputing.org/?pg=edprog.html. For more information, email: email@example.com.
The Student Volunteer Program offers undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in HPC the opportunity to help with the management and operation of the conference. In exchange, student volunteers receive free conference registration, housing (for out-of-town volunteers), and most meals. Limited support for such travel expenses as airfare is available for students from groups traditionally underrepresented in HPC, such as Native Americans, African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Hawaiians, Alaskan Natives, Pacific Islanders, women, and the physically challenged. Applications are due July 31. Details are available at: http://sc10.supercomputing.org/?pg=studvol.html. For more information, email: email@example.com.
Job Fair: As a part of the Broader Engagement Program, the SC10 Student Job Fair will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17. Last year, more than 100 students participated in the SC09 Student Job fair in which more than 30 representatives from government and industry, research labs, academic institutions, recruiting agencies and private industry met with students to discuss research opportunities, temporary and permanent employment opportunities, co-ops and internships. SC10 welcomes a broad spectrum of student attendees, including the SC Communities: SC Education Program, the SC Broader Engagement Program, and SC Student Volunteers Program.
Participating organizations and institutions will have access to students in computer science, information systems, scientific computing and high performance computing related fields. The registration fee for exhibitors is US$50. Contributing donors to SC Communities are entitled to complimentary registration in the Job Fair; for information about contributing to SC Communities, see http://sc10.supercomputing.org/images/CommunitiesExhibitors.pdf.
Organizations planning to participate in the SC10 Student Job Fair are asked to confirm and supply the name of the organization's representative(s) by Aug. 31. See http://sc10.supercomputing.org/?pg=jobfair.html. For more information email@example.com or 408-927-1403.
SC10 has this year established additional funds specifically to support individuals from Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) in the southeast region of the U.S. who would like to participate in the Broader Engagement and Education programs. This is part of an effort to increase overall participation in SC10 and SC Communities. When applying for support for the Broader Engagement and Education programs, as indicated above, applicants need to identify themselves within the application as from an MSI in the southeast region. Consult the SC10 Website http://sc10.supercomputing.org/ for updates.

Rock Band Frontman Lays Into Washington Lobbyist Father
News that obscure band Silver Jews has split up may not mean much to most, but frontman David Berman used the moment to launch an outspoken attack on his father.
The man in question is Washington lawyer/lobbyist Richard Berman (pictured), who is known for his work on behalf of various business interests.
That's something Berman Jr. isn't so happy about, according to the tirade he posted on a Silver Jews messageboard and reported by the likes of Billboard.
Son gives it to father with both barrels, describing him as "a despicable man," "an exploiter," and "a scoundrel," among other things.
He suggested that his reason for splitting the band was because he feels a need to counter-balance the work of the elder Berman.
"This winter I decided that the SJs were too small of a force to ever come close to undoing a millionth of all the harm he has caused," David Berman wrote.
His views on his father seem to mirror those of groups like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which even has a site devoted to the subject.
The two men have apparently been estranged for a while.
Richard Berman was not immediately available for comment.

I constantly need to be validated.
My daughter will be 10 in July which means in a few short years my life is going to start to suck.
I've written her a song to welcome her to womanhood. It's called "A Period Isn't Just the End of a Sentence, It's the Beginning of the End of Your Life".
Holy fuck. Just drove through the ghetto in LA. We wound up on Slauson on the way out. (White people, that's a Dr. Dre reference.)
This is about cheeseburgers, not gang violence and blunts and Huntington Park. Fatburger is now the official reason I am moving to LA. I'm going to say it's for my comedy "career" but it's going to be for Fatburger.
Make sure to pick the 10pm pulldown.
(I am working solely from my phone until further notice, that's why the link is a mobile link, fools.)
I'm going to talk about college and feminism. Some white people shit.
Love, Mimi
So, apparently there's this book out there called Shit My Kid Ruined.
If I wrote that book I would have called Chapter 1 "My Life". The book would probably only be one chapter.
No, but really. This book Shit My Kid Ruined is pictures of homes being destroyed because of children. I hate kids that aren't biologically related to me. Remember that when you send me an Evite to your baby shower.

I crave my morning coffee the night before. I adore all things Italy and can't wait to get back there. My favorite moments include read alouds with a lap full of boys (when I wrote that they still fit in my lap!), our Saturday mornings at the Farmer's Market, sleeping in on weekends because I've stayed up to read "just one more chapter…", road trips, fresh babies in my studio, summer, tag team cooking with my husband in our kitchen, and curling up with my kindle.
This is my blog. I've been blogging since July 2005.
I'm a full-time photographer and a business owner… and I live in Iowa. (My 17-year-old self is cackling right now.) I'm also, and most notably, married (to my business partner! I know, right?) and a mom of 3 boys. Yep. Three.
I consider my time with my boys and husband the very best time of all, and love them fiercely. I adore this age and stage… I often wish I could slow down time and savor each moment of their young selves.
Awwww, I remember when they still let me dress them like this. So cute.
This blog started out as a journal of my boys' days, and has morphed, grown and changed over the years as our family has grown and changed.
You can email me at: darcy @ my3boybarians.com {remove spaces!} You can read an April 2011 interview here: Life with Kaishon (Thanks, Becky!).
Follow me on twitter.
Keep up with me on Facebook.
Please visit my business site and see my work, if you'd like. My husband and I have a business we named His & Hers. Clever little things, aren't we?
Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you're here.

Italian Authorities 'Raid' Apple HQ After $1.4bn Tax Fraud AllegationsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 11/13/2013 12:30 -0400
Milan prosecutors ordered the seizure of a substantial batch of computer and telephone equipment from Apple's Italian HQ as part of an investigation into allegations of a one billion euro tax fraud. As L'Espresso reports, the allegations surround false representation of accounting records (EUR206mm in 2010 and EUR853mm in 2011) which were recorded by the Irish entity 'Apple Sales International' but, Italian authorities suggest were services rendered for business carried out in Italy. Beyond this investigation, it seems the growing tax divergences (and loopholes) that we have previously discussed (such as the Double Irish) are becoming a key focus for an increasingly cash-strapped European periphery (among others).

Berlusconi: "My Children Feel Like Jewish Families In Germany Under Hitler's Regime"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/06/2013 13:11 -0400
Ah Silvio, never change or, if possible, resign: the comedic world of Italian politics will never be the same without you. The latest soundbite by the billionaire with a penchant for easy, underage women comes by way of an interview conducted by Italian television journalist Bruno Vespa for his latest book, and summarized by Reuters. To wit: "Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi said his children feel persecuted just as Jewish families did in Nazi Germany because he is being hounded by the country's magistrates who want to eliminate him politically."

Following last week's last two day panic buying driven not by data (since in the US it has been delayed until late October and November, and elsewhere in the world it is just getting worse) but by the catalyst that the US isn't going to default (yes, that's all that is needed to push the S&P to all time highs) and just hopes that the tapering - that horrifying prospect of the Fed reducing its monthly monetization by $15 billion from $85 to $70 billion in line with the decline in the US deficit - will be delayed until March or June 2014 because, you see, the Fed isn't sure how the economy is doing, it makes no sense to even comment on the market. Squeezes, momentum ignitions, rumors about what Messers Bernanke and Yellen had for breakfast, Goldman's 2015 S&P forecast of 2100: that's the lunacy that passes for market moving factors. News, and reality, have long since been put in the dust. Just keep an eye on flashing read headlines, and try to buy (remember: anyone caught selling by the NSA is guaranteed a lifetime of annual IRS audits) ahead of the algos. That's what Bernanke's centrally-planned "market" has devolved to.

Berlusconi Expelled, Senate Panel DecidesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/04/2013 10:47 -0400
The long-delayed vote has finally come:
- Italy Senate Panel Recommends Berlusconi Expulsion
- Italy Senate panel head Stefano speaks in Rome.
- Panel decision follows Berlusconi's definitive conviction for tax fraud in August; the former premier has always denied any wrongdoing
So unless Sylvio has some other card up his sleeve, it may be a final goodbye for Italy's legendary ex-leader.

Berlusconi Flips, Says Will Support Italy's GovernmentSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/02/2013 08:01 -0400
Moments ago, Italy's most popular politician flip-flopped on his threats from the past weekend to take down Italy's government, and after realizing he does not have enough support even in his own party to push for early elections and a vote of no confidence for prime minister Letta, Berlusconi announced his party will vote to support the government of the current Premier, a major turnabout that signals he was defeated in his efforts to bring down the government.

On The First Day Of Shutdown, The Futures Were... GiddySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/01/2013 07:01 -0400
If there is one day the Fed's trading desk actually did want futures lower, if only for purely optical purposes and to at least suggest that the government, and not the Fed, is still in charge of the US, it is the day when the US government - for the first time in 17 years - has shut down. They certainly did not want the S&P to be up nearly 0.5% mere hours after Congress and the presidency confirmed to the world that in a world in which "the Chairman gets to work", a functioning government is completely irrelevant. Yet this is precisely what is going on. What is making matters worse is that on the other side of the world, Japan also finally announced the well-telegraphed sales tax increase to8%, offset by a JPY5 trillion yen "stimulus" which however Japan said, much to the Chagrin of Mrs. Watanabe and a 100 pip overnight plunge in the USDJPY, would be funded not with more new bond issuance (and thus without new "wealth effect" generating monetization). It is unclear just how it will be funded but since increasingly more global fiscal and monetary policy is based on science fiction we know better than to ask.

As Deutsche Bank notes below in the brief but complete summary of where we go next, the various scenarios that are possible, and market reactions, the actions represent the acceleration of an end to a very fragile environment. It seems, in Italy, Sentaors resign first - and ask questions later...

Berlusconi Has Last Laugh As Italy Scrambles To Contain Fallout From Government CollapseSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/29/2013 12:19 -0400
Following yesterday's unexpected (if not shocking) news that ministers from Berlusconi's PDL have resigned en masse in order to push for new elections, leading to the latest Italian government crisis (in a long and distinguished series), Italy's premier Letta and president Napolitano are scrambling to preserve some stability, and not only they but moments ago Ansa reported that the management and supervisory boards of Italian megabank Intesa are set to meet at 6 pm, as not even the most optimistic see an easy way out of the political dead end Italy has found itself in now.

Berlusconi Address Over His Expulsion Vote And Bernanke Press Conference To CoincideSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/18/2013 10:15 -0400
Today, the Italian Senate will vote at 8:30 PM whether to formally expel the 76-year old former prime minister, Sylvio Berlusconi. Concurrently, the winner of three of the six Italian elections in the past 20 days will launch a delayed nationwide address on his political future. The contents of said address are unclear however, as Reuters reports, "political sources and local media said he would not use the address to torpedo the fragile left-right governing coalition of centre-left Prime Minister Enrico Letta - at least for now - despite weeks of threats to do so." Furthermore, as WSJ adds, citing a column in daily newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano, Marco Travaglio noted that Mr. Berlusconi came in third in the February vote but managed to pick the head of state, the prime minister and the government program. "Given all that, it would be crazy to trigger a crisis," observed Mr. Travaglio, a longtime critic of Mr. Berlusconi. That said, and as is well-known, the media magnate is highly unpredictable and in the past has made several versions of video announcements so he can choose one only at the last minute. However, no matter the content, what is most curious is that the vote, the Berlusconi expulsion vote and nationwide address, as well as the Bernanke press conference, which is also due at 2:30pm Eastern, will all coincide.

Money Laundering Exposed As A Key Component Of The Housing Bubble's "All Cash" BidSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/10/2013 18:02 -0400
In August 2012, when isolating one of the various reasons for the latest housing bubble, we suggested that a primary catalyst for the price surge in the ultra-luxury housing segment and the seemingly endless supply of "all cash" buyers (standing at an unprecedented 60% of all buyers lately as reported by Goldman) is a very simple one: crime. Or rather, the use of US real estate as a means to launder illegal offshore-procured money. We also identified the one key permissive feature which allowed this: the National Association of Realtors' exemption from Anti-Money Laundering provisions. In other words, all a foreign oligarch - who may or may not have used chemical weapons in their past: all depends on how recently they took their picture with the Secretary of State - had to do to buy a $47 million Florida house, was to get the actual cash to the US. Well good thing there are private jets whose cargo is never checked. It appears that a year later this too hypothesis has been proven. Earlier today the Post reported that "U.S. authorities announced Tuesday that they are seeking forfeiture of pricey Manhattan real estate linked to a fraud they say was uncovered by a whistleblowing Russian lawyer before he died behind bars. A civil forfeiture complaint filed against the assets of a Cyprus-based real estate corporation and other holding companies alleges that some of the proceeds from the $230 million tax fraud in Russia were laundered through the purchase of four luxury condominiums located in a Wall Street doorman building and two commercial spaces in prime locations in midtown and Chelsea."

Will Berlusconi Be Responsible For Another European Crisis?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/08/2013 17:57 -0400
Sylvio Berlusconi is no stranger to being a catalyst for European crisis: in November 2011 it was his unwillingness to leave the PM post (and be replaced with a Goldman technocrat), that precipitated a bond crisis accented by the ECB's unwillingness to interject and buy Italian bonds until the career politician had left. Tomorrow, an Italian Senate committee is due to begin hearing arguments on whether to eject ex-PM Berlusconi from Parliament and on. The special Senate Elections and Immunities Committee will have its first hearing on Berlusconi's expulsion from the Parliament and six-year ban on 9 September. It seems now less likely that a vote will already take place on 9 September. The decision of the commission will be followed by a vote of the whole Senate. According to Deutsche Bank, the duration of the process is unclear. Indeed, it could be lengthened by several months if the commission (or the parliament) asks for a ruling of the Constitutional Court. However, a worst case scenario could see the government fail, early elections being called, and a repeat of this February's political circus all over again, only this time with even less political capital, if such a thing ever existed in Italy.

Guest Post: The Three Types of AusteritySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/04/2013 17:08 -0400
Reading the financial press, one gets the impression there are only two sides to the austerity debate: pro-austerity and anti-austerity. In reality, we have three forms of austerity. There is the Keynesian-Krugman-Robert Reich form which promotes more government spending and higher taxes. There is the Angela Merkel form of less government spending and higher taxes, and there is the Austrian form of less spending and lower taxes. Of the three forms of austerity, only the third increases the size of the private sector relative to the public sector, frees up resources for private investment, and has actual evidence of success in boosting growth.

Which version of WordPress does the App work with?
The App works with WordPress.com and self-installed WordPress 2.9.2 or higher.
I get an "We could not find the XML-RPC endpoint of your blog" error but I have XML-RPC enabled, what do I do?
1. Ensure that you've typed in the URL correctly.
2. If it's correct, make sure XML-RPC services are enabled on the blog.
3. Verify that xmlrpc.php is functioning properly. Locate your RSD meta tag by viewing-source on your blog. It will look similar to this:
<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://example.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />
Next, follow the link,
http://example.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd, and make sure it resolved to an XML file. Locate the WordPress API item:
http://example.com/xmlrpc.php. And lastly, load that apiLink value into your browser. If everything is setup correctly, you should see this message: "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only."
4. Go to the W3C Markup Validator and type in the URL of your WordPress site. If you get a response such as "… one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as UTF-8″ that is most likely what is causing the app to have trouble with your site.
5. Try with the default theme and with no active plug-in.
(Trying it with the default theme and plugins disabled will help pin down where the problem is. If everything works then you go back and enable your theme and then try it again. If everything still works then you go back and activate each plugin one at a time until you find the one that is causing the breakage.)
6. Turn on the 'debug mode' within the 'App Settings' screen, and try to add your blog again. Then check the log file, instructions here.
I get a "Malformed blog response" error message. what do I do?
1. A common issue that can cause errors with the App is invalid characters. The easiest way to check is to go to the W3C Markup Validator and type in the URL of your WordPress site. If you get a response such as "… one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as UTF-8″ that is most likely what is causing the app to have trouble with your site.
2. You can also try with the default theme and with no active plug-in.
(Trying it with the default theme and plugins disabled will help pin down where the problem is. If everything works then you go back and enable your theme and then try it again. If everything still works then you go back and activate each plugin one at a time until you find the one that is causing the breakage.)
3. If that doesn't help, you can turn on the 'debug mode' within the 'App Settings' screen, and try to refresh your blog again. Then check the log file, instructions here.
I'm receiving the following error: "File system out of resources". How do I fix that?
Please set the app cache folder to the SD card by following the steps below:
– On your BlackBerry go to "Options > Advanced Options > Applications" (on newer devices go to Options->Applications). Scroll through the list, highlight and select "WordPress". Next, click on the app, and choose Edit Permissions and ensure they are set to "Allow".
– Reboot the phone by removing and reinserting the battery.
– Start the app again
– Click "App Settings"
– Set the "Cache Files Location" option to "SD Card", then save the changes. (You will need few MB of free space on the SD card).
How do I download the latest version of the app?
The App will periodically check to see if you have the latest version. To check manually, point your browser to http://blackberry.wordpress.org/download/. If we've announced a new beta but the download screen shows an old version, try clearing your BlackBerry's browser cache first.
I click on the WordPress icon and nothing happens, how do I fix that?

Scroll through the list, highlight and select "WordPress for BlackBerry". Next, click on the app, and choose Edit Permissions and ensure they are set to "Allow".
Once you do this, you must reboot the phone by removing and reinserting the battery.
I downloaded WordPress for BlackBerry via RIM AppWorld and now I can't find the WordPress for BlackBerry icon anywhere, I have to run it from AppWorld. How do I get it back?
This is a bug in RIM AppWorld. Go to AppWorld and uninstall WordPress for BlackBerry. Then follow the steps below, then re-install WordPress for BlackBerry from AppWorld.
(1) Open App World
(2) Go to My World
(3a) For keyboard-based BB's — Hold down the ALT key and press "RST"
(3b) For Storm — Hold the num-lock ("!?123″) button so it locks and then hit "34("
(4) Give it some time, but if your BB locks after issuing the cache clear, perform a battery pull reboot.
7. I'm receiving the following error: "The folder XXXXXX/ is corrupted…." . How do I fix that?
Follow the steps below:
(1) Close the app
(2) Open the Media application on the BlackBerry
(3) Press the Menu button and choose Explore
(4) Navigate to folder //store/home/user/wordpress/ (or to //SDCard/BlackBerry/wordpress/)
(5) Select the folder XXXXXX/
(6) Press the Menu button and choose Delete
(7) Restart the app and add your blog again
I'm receiving the following error: "File System Full Error". How do I fix that?
This problem can happen if there is not enough free space in the Device Memory for WordPress for BlackBerry to function properly. To fix this, you may need to increase the amount of Device Memory used for file storage.
First, check the available Device Memory by following these steps:
1) Open the Media application on the BlackBerry.
2) Press the Menu button and choose Explore.
3) Highlight Device Memory, then press the Menu button and select Properties.
4) In the dialog that appears, check the percentage of used device memory (under the small pie chart).
If the used device memory is close to 100%, WordPress for BlackBerry may not have enough for its temp files.
You can try increasing the Device Memory Limit to solve this problem:
1) Open the Media application on the BlackBerry.
2) Press the Menu key and choose Options.
3) Select the current Device Memory Limit setting and choose a larger size.
4) Press the Back button and Save the changes.
After increasing the Device Memory Limit, you should see a lower percentage of used memory if you go back to check the Device Memory Properties.
If the Device Memory Limit is already set to the maximum size but you still get the error when trying to use WordPress for BlackBerry, you will need to clear up some memory. You can remove extra languages installed on the device, or move your pictures, music, and/or other files to an external media card. We recommend having at least a couple hundred KB free on the Device Memory. Please visit the following support page on RIM's website for further information about maximizing free space on your BlackBerry smartphone: How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone.

– Insert this URL http://INSERT-THE-NAME-OF-YOUR-BLOG.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php (only one http:// at the beginning, No WWW).

1. On your BlackBerry, go to "Options > Advanced Options > Applications". Scroll through the list and highlight and select "WordPress for BlackBerry". Next, Click on the app, and choose Edit Permissions and ensure they are set to "Allow".
2. Reboot the phone by removing and reinserting the battery.

My Host Blocks XML-RPC Access! How do I fix that?
I receive the following error: "The application WordPress has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy." How do I fix that?
This issue is related to your phone's IT policy setting, not to WordPress for BlackBerry app. Make sure that permissions are set correctly. On your BlackBerry, go to "Options > Advanced Options > Applications". Scroll through the list and highlight and select "WordPress for BlackBerry?". Next, click on the app, and choose Edit Permissions and ensure they are set to "Allow". If you receive same error again, you can try to do the following: Go to Options-> Security options-> Firewall-> Edit default permissions-> expand all options and make them all as Allow. Then go to Options-> Security options-> General setting-> IT policy name-> press the trackball and select Verify Security software. If that doesn't help and you are on a BES connection, contact your IT department and ask them to allow "Split Pipe Policy". You may also want to refer to this BlackBerry.com knowledge base artice.
I keep getting asked to trust a server certificate, how do I get around this?
1) When the prompt occurs, click on View Certificate.
2) Confirm the certificate name *.wordpress.com
3) Click OK then choose Trust Certificate.
4) If prompted enter the smartphone keystore password.
Note: If the keystore password has been enabled on the smartphone, trusting the new certificate will require this password. The keystore password could be the same as the smartphone password, but also could be something different.
If this doesn't help, go to options > security > andvanced security > certificates.
Scroll down till you find "*.worpress.com" and it should have a red X next to it. Highlight and use the BB key to trust it.

3) From the main BlackBerry screen, select Options -> Media Card. Make sure Media Card Support and Mass Storage Mode Support are both set to On.
4) You can check that your media card is working correctly by going to the Media application. Click the menu button and select Explore. Make sure Media Card is listed there.

hi, i can't seem to upload photos or videos from my blackberry. it times out eventually. what am i doing wrong?
I have installed the app but cannot add my blog. I have tried various things and cannot work out what's wrong. Any ideas? Here's the process I go through:
When asked, I enter my URL (wobblyblock.com), username and password. I have tried both with and without the www.).
I am then told that XMLRPC endpoint cannot be found, so I manually enter the location URL of XMLRPC.php (wobblyblock.com/xmlrpc.php). Again, I have tried with and without the www. first.
I am then told 'a server communication error occurred Malformed blog response'.
I see 'XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.' when I view it in my browser.
I have gone through the w3c validation and it is all correct.
My blog is http://www.wobblyblock.com.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dear Danilo,
Thanks for your advice. Unfortunately it did not seem to work.
The connection settings appear to make no difference: I get exactly the same problem as before.
It says 'connection in progress', asks me to enter the URL for my XMLRPC, says 'connection in progress' again before telling me 'a server communication error occurred Malformed blog response'.
I am using a Blackberry Curve 8900 on Vodafone in the UK.
BB tour. Wow a lot of problems with this app. Maybe need to categorize the forum posts.
I worked through most of my connection issues thru trial and error. One large obstacle remains, an obstacle that, if not corrected, makes this app useful for me.
When I attempt to add my blog it gives me an error message : blog already exists with this name.
Of course I know that, it is my blog, one which I named, which is why I'm attempting to add it.
Can you not add an existing blog? Does this app require you to start a new one? I don't have time or interest in keeping two separate blogs? silly requirement if that is the circumstance here.
Please provide direction?

The light of the community is welcome.
I tried everything. My site is Valid markup and RPC is enabled, however I keep getting the message XML-RPC is disabled. Please help
Please ignore, I deleted the blog and re-entered it with my xml-rpc link and it started working. Thanks

Also doesn't seem to like adding new categories.

I'm trying to install on my phone. My site is built through WordPress – http://www.wearechickago.com. It's installed on my phone fine, but when I go to log in, I get an error that says, 'Not In Directory'. Is that because I have a site and not a blog? Can I use this to access my word press content management system?
I am not able to add my location to my posts because I am getting a message that states that the GPS is timing out. I have tried posting from outside with an unobstructed view. My other GPS assisted apps work without issue on my Storm 9530. If I uncheck add my location it uploads without a problem. Thoughts?

Thanks for the fast reply.
I also wanted to know if your going to change the option how a picture gets added to the post. So that you can add the picture on the spot of your own choice? And not only on the top or bottom. Sometimes I like to add a picture after 3 typed lines.
I would like to know if there's an error after I installed WordPress for Blackberry (which I downloaded from Blackberry Application World with version 1.4.3 automatically). After instalation process was done, I did restarted my handheld (curve 8520 – Gemini). Then appeared on the screen "Error starting wordpress : the module 'WordPress-7′ has verification error". Please inform me what happened there? Thank you very much.
I got a blackberry bold — can someone tell me how to post pictures from the phone? thank you!
can someone tell me how to upload pictures from my blackberry to wordpress? thank you! i got a bb bold.
I updated to the WordPress for Blackberry 1.4.4 as now it does not work.
Every time I try to look at my stats or refresh or do any other action this always appears:
Server communications error occured
Wifi conn: Tunnel Failed
TCP conn: Tunnel Failed
BES conn: Invalid url parameter
I followed your instructions by going to Options-Advanced Options-Applications-Wordpress for Blackberry and allowed all the settings.
Yet it still is not working and the message keeps appearing.

"Do they think about the rural contribution when they look at their food?" Vilsack asked after Monday's gathering. "If they understood it, then rural America would be more politically relevant. ... At what point will it become a wake-up call for the rest of the country?"
Vilsack, whose similar comments in Washington, D.C., on the growing irrelevancy of rural America drew attention last week, said Monday that Congress has yet to pass a farm bill this year for just that reason.
Vilsack said there simply aren't enough people left in Washington who are "concerned about it to get it (the farm bill) done."
That's being worsened by dissuading children from farming because it's too hard, Vilsack said. The industry needs to market itself as one of opportunity, not toil, he said.
