Lindsay Lohan had no idea she was so deeply in the hole to Uncle Sam ... because she THOUGHT she had accountants to take care of that crap for her ... sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ.
TMZ broke the story ... the I.R.S. hit Lohan with a big, fat tax lien, claiming she failed to fork over $93k in federal income taxes from 2009.
Now, sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ she was completely unaware of the problem. We're told Lindsay actually cleaned house recently and replaced most of her business team.
Our sources say Lindsay believes the debt was most likely lost in the shuffle, but the issue will be handled immediately.
Lohan SHOULD have the cash to get herself in the clear -- after all, she just hauled in close to a million bucks to get naked for Playboy.
Umm tax debt does not get lost in the shuffle. You sign your taxes when you submit them. You put your name on the tax forms you have to file.
Your accountant knows the income and it is YOUR obligation to follow up with your money and those who work for you and to know your finances and know if your taxes were paid in or not.
Lohan's always love to find someone to blame or be a scapegoat for their bad choices and irresponsible behavior.
Own what you do and do not do. The IRS would not have filed a lien if you did not owe on your taxes, therefore you had to of known that you did not pay in or pay your own taxes. No matter who you hire to handle your money, you still need to be responsible and oversee that they are managing it properly and honestly.
Had the IRS filed the lien earlier they could have put a claim/lien on her Playboy check. That would have covered her debt.
Maybe Lindsey should not be vacationing over sees for weeks at a time or shopping for new Birkin bags and designer shoes, jewlery, furs, or hmmmm
MAYBE the IRS needs to take her new car away.
No excuses.....when it comes to others handling your finances you must still be on top of it. Your namen the dotted line....your responsibility.....period.
With all the rip-off accountants and financial advisors in California - I'd keep track of my OWN money if I was rich and famous. Remember what Nick Cages accountants did to his fortune. Bunch of thieving bas*ards. If you care about your cash, keep your own eyes on it and dont let someone else handle your money.
The State of CA brings it to your attention long before the Feds do...so this probably the usual addict behavior...denial, avoidance, procrastination & blame others
You know dam well Lou Taylors just been settin back waiting for Lohan Inc to points it dirty finger at her.....LOL
Don't worry she's ready for them....but tell me this Lohan Inc what's ya going do when they audit 2010 and 2011 hope you havn't lost them in in the shuffle. Cause they start dingging into those your cooked..
Me.. Obsessed ..hell I see your name as much as anybodys ...So that would be Mr Pot call Mrs Kettle Black ...
Don't think Lohan Inc is going like me much today...."Fun ..Fun ..Fun ...the they cme and take the Keyboard (car keys" away "
a salute to the Beach Boys...
Great photo of a beautiful girl! Her accountants really let her down on this one and TMZ needs to leave her alone! Love you, Lindsay!
For the last time--she did NOT get $1 million from Playboy, nor did her issue "sell out."
That's all spin, agreed to by Playboy and her publicists.
If she made $1 million, her taxes would be MUCH higher.
Then she will go to the judge on her court date, weeping and wailing. Right, it will be paid off, her friends better put a lock-down on their stuff.
Taxes? We don't need no stinkin taxes...........
What did Lohan Inc do to radar online....they are avoiding Lindsay's Spins like the plague.......Lohan Inc must have stiff them on a payment............
Wheres everybody ? Ive been up since 6:00 and already made it though one whole genealogy report for a client ..just got to sent it off..man I'm on fire this morning...to bad I'll probably crash and burn by 1:00 pm ...but the bright side it its nap time for baby's and granny's ...LOL
Love the way TMZ gets on story and strings it out into 2 or 3 timed releases for better hits..smart man Harvey Levin ..nasty but smart.......!
What idiots are paying her enough to woe so much in taxes?
Lindsay doesn't think, she has people to do that for her. Pshaw.

The new 1190 is radically different from the 990 it replaces. The whole package of chassis, electronic suspension and rider aids makes this 150bhp, 230kg bike seriously capable with more rider-friendly characteristics than any previous KTM Adventure. It can also be ridden faster than I ever thought possible – in this respect it's more like a Ducati Multistrada, but with ...

In isolation I like the new Monster, which has character, looks good and is modern but still very much a Monster. The new liquid-cooled engine is much better than the old bike's. There's loads of mid-range and low-down grunt, and it sounds fantastic for a standard bike. The handling on the S model is excellent, just as happy on road ...

Who does the project work with
The project is being implemented by a consortium of four NGOs – Democracy Watch (DW), Prip Trust (Prip), Steps towards Development (Steps) and Khan Foundation (KF). The NGOs are well established within Bangladesh's social and political context and already active in capacity development and advocacy works. The project maintains close collaboration with government agencies such as Local Government Division (LGD), National Institute of Local Government (NILG) and Ministry of Women and Children Affairs (MoWCA).
The direct beneficiaries of the project are Elected Women Representatives (EWR) and potential elected representatives (P-EWR). EWR comprise women MPs (65), Upazila Vice- Chairs (507), Mayors, Councillors of municipalities and city corporations (around 1500) and Union Parishad members (around 14000). Male Elected Representatives, as secondary target group, will also be directly or indirectly involved in the project.
What does the project do
The project endeavours to build confidence, knowledge and capcity of the elected women represenatives, encourage and facilitate networks of mutual support so that the elected women represenatives can fulfil their obligations made to their electorate and contribute to making local government system more responsive, especially to the needs of women. The project is implemented by a consortium of four NGOs, each organisation has its own pool of partner organisations and volunteer networks, with emphasis on different geographic areas of Bangladesh.
Although the project essentially focuses on women's political empowerment, particularly on the role played by elected women representatives, the overall goal of this project is to contribute to increased access to information and enhanced, responsive and prompt local services for rural and urban poor (especially women).
The interventions under this project includes technical training, widening and deepening of EWR networks to build the skills and confidence of EWRs and reinforce the principles of represenation and accoutability. It advocates in favour of some strucutural changes in order to promote gender sensitive service provision at local level. The project works to establish a continuing mechanisms to provide information, technical and advisory support to the elected representatives.
How does the project work
In order to avoid duplication and substitution, the capacity building approach under this project focuses on adding value to what already exists in terms of EWR capacity. The project develops innovative tools and materials to assist EWRs, particularly seeks to enable wider use of computer, internet and mobile phone technologies. The project pursues a transformative capacity building approach focusing on the need of EWRs and women activists/ NGOs in order to put their knowledge into practice and on changing attitudes and behaviour of elected representatives at local government level.
The partner NGOs intend to jointly establish a KCE (Knowledge, Communication and Education) Hub, a Help-line and a Mentor Network to be responsive to the needs of EWRs. The programme will work in 40 of the 64 districts of Bangladesh in the first phase and each NGO will coordinate activities in 10 districts.
Expected outcomes
The project is expected to achieve the following three outcomes:
· Elected women represenatives (EWR) will be confident and capable to assume their leadership role which includes aspects such as ensuring accoutnability to their constituencies.
· Provisions (legal framework including ordinances and directives), political commitment and public opinion will be more conducive for inclusion and participation of EWR (and potential EWR) and for promoting gender sensitive service provision at community level.
· Information, technical and advisory support for Elected Women Representatives (EWR) will be used and valued.
Budget and duration
SDC's contribution to the project stands at around CHF 3'500'000 for the 4 year duration (12/2011- 11/2015).

Marriage and Family Therapy Programs
Request information from schools offering MFT degree programs
The field of marriage and family therapy has been steadily growing since it's informal introduction in the 1940's. However, marriage and family therapy has gained increasing traction over the last two decades as many more Americans are able to relate to MFTs' no-nonsense, practical approach toward addressing mental illnesses and individual, couple and family issues.
Over 98 percent of clients of marriage and family therapists report therapy services as good or excellent - (American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy)
Marriage and family therapy programs, both online and campus-based, are providing students with a fundamental, conceptual knowledge of family system dynamics, mental illnesses, chemical dependency, and issues associated with aging. In addition, Marriage and family therapy degree programs equip students with a comprehensive toolbox of therapy methodolgies to quickly address and treat any and all of the previously listed issues.

German Undergraduates Researching around the World
"It opened my eyes that my subject has more in it than you can see in the university," says Miriam Strake. The biology student had just completed her third semester of study in biosciences at the University of Heidelberg when she got the chance through the "RISE worldwide" program to work as a research assistant in China. The RISE worldwide program, run by the German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst – DAAD) , is built on the belief that international teamwork is at the heart of good research, and that this principle is best instilled early on in research careers. In 2011, its first year, RISE worldwide supported 247 research internships at universities and research institutes in 22 countries, sending students to work as research assistants abroad for up to three months.
RISE worldwide – What It Is, How It Works
Underpinning the program is an online database of registered internship offers from accredited universities and non-profit research institutions. Professors, research staff, and PhD students around the world post offers in the hope of finding a qualified and fully funded German student to support their research efforts. Students register online and undergo an eligibility check. If approved, each student can apply for up to 3 projects, with final selection based on academic merit and the host organisation's assessment of the application. The internships last for up to 12 weeks and take place during the summer break.
The RISE worldwide program is part of a suite of RISE programs run by the DAAD. The original program, simply called RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering), was launched in North America. In operation since 2006, it gives undergrads from American and Canadian universities the chance to do summer research projects in Germany under the supervision of a mentor at a university. Today, it is open to students from the UK as well. In the meantime, "RISE professional" has also launched, which places students in professional internships at German companies during the summer.
Bringing Research to Life
Miriam Strake spent three months at the Institute of Desert Meteorology in Urumqi, located in the remote western Chinese province of Xinxiang. She worked on a team researching desert ecology and long-term climate change by analysing tree rings, requiring teamwork between biologists and geologists. This kind of interdisciplinary research environment was something Strake had never experienced before: "Geography people working with biology people… I had never thought of that. If you are studying biology, it is more physics, chemistry, biochemistry. This was a totally new area for me."
Working on bone mechanics in a university medical engineering laboratory in Brisbane, Australia, brought engineering to life for student Markus Mehnert, an undergraduate student from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg: "I realized that a lot of the theoretical things I have learned at university are really useful for doing research. When you sit in university lectures, you sometimes can't believe that all the stuff you hear is actually useful."
The opportunity to work closely with top researchers was a highlight for Johannes King, a bachelor's student in physics from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, who joined the particle physics lab at McGill University in Montreal, Canada: "In Germany, I usually have lectures with 150-200 people so I don't know any professors personally. In Canada, I talked to my supervising professor 3 or 4 times a week." Furthermore, working as part of an international team analysing data from the ATLAS experiment, part of CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, has been great for his resume. He is set on a research career and is now considering a master's degree in particle physics as his next step.
A Cultural Experience
Proximity to and support from senior staff was another benefit for Strake. "From the moment I arrived in China I had people who would be there for me 24 hours a day if there was a problem. The vice director of the institute took me to a lot of workshops and official meetings. There was a lot of support from all the people at the laboratory. I made some really good friends in China," says Strake. Markus Mehnert received similar attention: "My supervisor really helped me and took care of me in the first days and weeks, making it easy to settle in."
RISE is as much a cultural as an academic experience. Mehnert found that as an outsider in Brisbane, he got to know other international students in a way that would not have been possible at his home university. In Canada, King was struck by how much more approachable people are in North America. For Strake, the Chinese culture was completely different to any she had experienced. She also managed to improve her fledgling Chinese, and returned to Germany enthused about both research possibilities and the country she had gotten to know: "China has a lot to offer that we have no idea about," she says.
In early 2012, the RISE worldwide program will select participants for its next cohort of talented, young, internationally mobile researchers. The students who have benefited from the opportunity so far are have no doubts that it has shaped their outlook and prospects. They have found the program to be very organised, and the application process straightforward. Scholarships are generous, and cover most of the travel and accommodation costs, though students have to organize their own visa and flight. As Strake says: "You get so much help and support. If you have a question the answer comes through promptly. I'd recommend the RISE program to anyone."

Halle Berry Goes Big; Chloë Moretz Keeps It Minimal; And More…
Halle Berry has gone curly. The newly engaged Oscar winner cashed in her signature pixie for a full head of brunette ringlets, which she showed off at dinner with fiancé Olivier Martinez last night. [Daily Mail]
Despite a habit of wearing Miu Miu and Chanel on the red carpet, 15-year-old actress Chloë Moretz tries to keep it casual with her makeup. "I don't wear a lot," she says. "Just a little bit of concealer, Neutrogena Cover Stick in number 2, and I wear Chanel powder in Pêche Tendre and I do just a little Neutrogena blush palette. I'm very minimalist." [Allure]
The stakes are high in any beauty pageant, but they've been elevated in the Miss Liberia contest—so much so that the country's politicians have now gotten involved to try to clear up a mishap in which the wrong contestant was announced as the winner. The government has seized the crown and demanded a "situational report" on the fiasco. [Guardian]
Speaking of beauty pageantry, longstanding Miss Universe coach Inés Ligron has just put out a beauty tip DVD series that offers advice like this: "Look good in airports and planes because you never know who you will run into. If you have no time to put on makeup [on the plane], make sure to wear sunglasses. Then put on makeup at the lounge. Wear nice clothes always, sleep on the plane, and drink water." Easier said than done on a ten-hour transcontinental jaunt—with layover—but we'll keep it in mind. [WSJ]

In 1982, sixteen-year-old Marina Nemat was arrested on false charges by Iranian Revolutionary Guards and tortured in Tehrans notorious Evin prison. At a time when most teenaged girls are choosing their prom dresses, Nemat was having her feet beaten by men with cables and listening to gunshots as her friends were being executed. She was condemned to die, but survived because one of the guards, whose family was well-connected to the Khomeini regime, pleaded for her life. But the price Ali exacted was high: Nemat, a fervent Christian, would have to convert to Islam and marry him.
Soon Nemat found herself being welcomed lovingly into the family of her husband and captor. She learned that Ali was not the monster his actions suggested; that although he was an interrogator in an evil regime, he was also a beloved son and brother who truly believed his unwilling wife would come to love him.
Marina Nemats nightmare ended when members of a rival political faction assassinated Ali. She was returned to prison but, ironically, it was Alis family who eventually secured her release. She rejoined her own family but was further traumatized by their reluctance to acknowledge her ordeal. She found solace with the young man who had waited for her; they married and emigrated to Canada.
An extraordinary tale of faith and survival, Prisoner of Tehran is a testament to the power of love in the face of evil and injustice.

Mechanical Toys (a History)
Amer Collectible Producing Toy Cos.
That being said, there are still avid collectors of toy airplanes and a small bit of history on the manufacturers. If a vehicle ever existing its a given that American toy makers created a miniature toy of it in cast-iron -- airplanes were no exception. Most of these were made prior to World War II. However, a few toy airplanes and even dirigibles appeared in the 1920s.
A Few Historical Specifics
Although they were made for a relatively short period, toy airplanes, dirigibles, helicopters, rockets, and spaceships exist in profusion today. Most planes were designed as pull toys, but some, especially lithographed tinplate models, were powered by spring-driven motors.
Many toy airplanes date from the 1920s. Cast iron and lithographed tinplate were the preferred materials for planes prior to World War II, but since then white metal has also been used. Another common type produced between the 1920s and World War II was the large sheet-steel plane. Those examples by Keystone and Glendon Wheel were more than 24" long and so sturdy that a child could actually ride on them.
The Most Collectible of Toy Airplanes
The "airship carousel" with planes are among the most popular of all 20th-century toys, and thousands of examples have been produced. However, the early tinplate ones, which were either hand-painted or lithographed, are hard to find since few survived the battering children gave them. Few collectors will be lucky enough to find these on the market today, especially in working condition. If you do locate one it will likely be well worth the money to have it repaired (by an antique professional only... please) and put back into good mechanical working condition.
More References
GasolineAlleyAntiques has some wonderful listing of antique toy airplanes, many of which are for sale by individual collectors -- definitely a place to visit in you search. eBay stores abound, but we are always a bit shy to recommend online auctions. If you do chose to go the online auction route in a search for collectible toy planes, please be careful and find some expert guidance to assist in your search. Collect Air Vintage Airplane Toys has some great pictures of old toy airplanes and a tiny bit of information on each, but nothing for sale.

Essential Tax Aspects of Hedge Fund Investments
The investing
universe for high-net-worth individuals has recently
expanded to include such alternative investments as hedge

Walking the Walk:
Adding Action to Advocacy
For years, U.S. law has allowed American multinational
corporations to employ tax inversion strategies in order
to reduce their corporate tax rate. You probably know how
it works: the U.S. corporation merges with a foreign one
in a country with a more favorable corporate tax rate, incorporates
there, and voilà—a smaller tax bill and the
same benefits the company enjoyed as a U.S. corporation.
of Investments in Equities versus Treasuries
investors often lack an understanding of investment risks.
As a result, many take either insufficient or excessive
risk, rather than the reasonable investment risk likely
to help them reach their financial goals. From a long-term
perspective, ultraconservative investing with insufficient
risk has proven to be a mistake. While history is no guarantee,
investors can adopt better investment tactics if they have
a strong understanding of basic investing tenets.

"Best Irish bars and alot of government too"
The Financial District's name says it all. It is truly the center of Boston. Most all the major banking and fund companies have offices in this downtown area but they share it with major shopping venues and large complexes converted or built as residences. Some of Boston's oldest structures, like Faneuil Hall are located there. Plans are afoot for a 27 acre greenway space which will connect the area to other neighborhoods and allow for more tourism in the area. And all this happens right on Boston Harbor. Do note that some of the best Irish bars in Boston are found in the Financial District!

5 Stocks Set to Soar on Bullish Earnings
Family Dollar Stores
Another earnings short-squeeze prospect is self-service retail discount store operator Family Dollar Stores (FDO), which is set to release numbers on Thursday before the market open. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Family Dollar Stores to report revenue of $2.77 billion on earnings of 90 cents per share.
>>5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Family Dollar Stores stands at 4.9%. That means that out of the 85.77 million shares in the tradable float, 4.25 million shares are sold short by the bears. If this company can deliver the earnings news the bulls are looking for, then shares of FDO could easily rip higher post-earnings as the bears rush to cover some of their bets.From a technical perspective, FDO is currently trending below its 50-day and is 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has been downtrending badly for the last four months, with shares moving lower from its high of $71.11 to its recent low of $57.28 a share. During that downtrend, shares of FDO have been making mostly lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, shares of FDO have now moved into oversold territory, since its current relative strength index reading is 30. Oversold can always get more oversold, but it's also an area where a stock can rebound sharply higher from. If you're bullish on FDO, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $59.53 a share and then once it takes out its 50-day moving average of $61.65 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 2.17 million shares. If that breakout hits, then FDO will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at its 200-day moving average of $66.37 a share to around $67.50 to $68 a share. I would simply avoid FDO or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout and then takes out its 52-week low of $57.28 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then FDO will set up to enter new 52-week-low territory, which is bearish technical price action. Some possible downside targets off that move are $53 to $50 a share, or even $47 a share.

On Sept. 17, the Arab Spring becomes the new American Fall, with 20,000 revolutionaries in a tent city. Plus "solidarity" occupations in major financial centers worldwide, all ready for a long siege, vowing not to leave till they get their "one simple demand." […]
Their allies have names like "CultureJammers," "USDayofRage.org," "People of the NYC General Assembly," "TaketheSquare.net," and recently they were joined by the noted civil disobedience anarchists, "Anonymous" and many others worldwide. This movement reminds us of the historic rag-tag armies General Washington commanded from 13 Colonies for the first American Revolution. […]
Warning: Ignore this rebellion at your peril. Reading their materials reveals a deeply frustrated, angry, fed up army of revolutionaries. Like their "Arab Spring" brothers,
The new American revolutionaries are no longer interested in talk. They want action.

Time is becoming crucial. Please do this.
Have we all just given up? What are we waiting for? Forget about the 20% who support the Tea Party — we are the other 80%! This decline will only end when we demand it. And not through an online petition or a tweet. We are going to have to turn the TV and the computer and the video games off and get out in the streets (like they've done in Wisconsin). Some of you need to run for local office next year. We need to demand that the Democrats either get a spine and stop taking corporate money — or step aside.

Doyle has another good young prospect
Mac's Return and Jamie Codd in full flow at Lingstown
(Healy Racing Photos)
On Sunday last, with her trainer's hat on, Doyle sent out her father Fred's newcomer, Mac's Return for the Royal Marine Hotel Maiden Race for 5-y-o geldings. Jamie Codd (treble on the day with Bothair Clei and Balynaclash Warrior) got the leg-up on the Flemensfirth gelding.
Mac's Return's main market rival, Here I Am departed at the third last.
However, Mac's Return was always moving like a good horse and he had the measure of The Orange Rogue and High Web from before the last, going on to beat that pair by eight lengths and twelve lengths.
Ms Doyle explained afterwards: "He was bought at the Derby Sale. Ferdy (Murphy, father of Doyle's partner Barry) had Mac's Supreme (a half-brother to the winning dam, Dark Mist) and of course he won a Kerry National.
"This fella was fairly good value and I told Jamie he'd win here. I'm delighted I've put him on a winner. He was more than happy with him saying that he's uncomplicated and professional.
"They went a good gallop and that suited him. It would be nice if he was sold to stay in the yard but we'll have to see." (EM)

Offset High Pump Prices With These 2 Energy Picks
Bill is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
When it comes to commodity companies and producers of basic materials, investors should follow pain. These companies can't compete on price, so investors should seek out suffering and buy companies at low price multiples. Sometimes refineries will be the sweet spot in the value chain, and sometimes the oil and gas trusts and drillers will be the best performers. It is really impossible to predict, so investors should go for cheap stocks instead.
Refining Pays Off
During their operations during 2012, Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX), the two largest U.S. energy producers, resisted the trendy strategy of divesting refineries to focus on oil drilling. In hindsight, hanging on to those refineries did quite well for them.
Even as investors and analysts strongly suggested selling some of the refineries, earnings from crude processing have more than made up for lower returns from oil and natural gas exploration during the last quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter net income climbed to a five-year high of nearly $10 billion for Exxon, while Chevron got over $7 billion. Exxon also posted its second-highest yearly profit in history last year, only surpassed by its all-time high back in 2008.
During a presentation in New York last march, Exxon presented what they call the "Integrated model," a scheme that joins refineries, chemical plants and oil production. This model enables it to add incremental value to all of its operations and capture the "highest value of each molecule." Bryn Mawr Trust CIO Ernie Cecilia stated, "Even though refining has long been seen by some as a drag on earnings, it has now been vindicated. We like integration."
On the other hand, Chevron's refining unit processed more than 1 million barrels of crude at its plants around the world during the last quarter of 2012. This made it return to a profit of $925 million after posting a $61 million loss during the same period of last year.
On average, U.S. refinery margins increased 46% during the fourth quarter, partly as rising domestic oil production lowered the crude's prices. With increasing supplies of oil from US shale formations, not only the oil giants are reaping the benefits. Valero also posted a 20-fold rise in fourth-quarter net income, while Marathon Petroleum, the refinery divested by Marathon Oil in June 2011, posted a quarterly profit of $755 million after a loss of $75 million just a year earlier.
Consumers Able to Cut Back on Gasoline
It should also be noted that the idea that we will always consume increasing amounts of refined oil products is just not true. There is risk to betting on oil.
Gasoline consumption in the U.S. slid to its lowest level since July 2004 when MasterCard started tracking sales. MasterCard's SpendingPulse reported gasoline sales at 7.82 million barrels per day for the week ending Jan. 4, lower by 3.5% compared to 8.1 million barrels per day sold for the prior period. The decline followed a similar decrease of 9.5% for the week ending Dec. 28. Demand in 2012 was lower 3.6% compared to 2011. It has been declining weekly since March 18, 2011. The information is based on data gathered from credit-card swipes, cash purchases and check payments at around 140,000 gasoline stations across the U.S. and assembled by the company's consulting arm, MasterCard Advisors.
Finding Cheap Oil and Gas Stocks
Consider the following price multiples:
Based on price-to-earnings multiples and price-to-sales multiples, Chevron and Exxon Mobil are very attractive. None of them is significantly financed by long term debt, and their low valuation multiples compensate investors for the risks a commodity market.
Oil companies are price takers. Fortunately, value investors can see that there are two names with strong balance sheets that are cheap enough to compel them to jump into a commodity market.

What if every full-time employee volunteered one week of every year?
I have for years now felt that just 1 week of our time per year could evoke huge change, not only our countries landscape and start to heal us BUT how about opening our eyes to see the wonderful reward one would feel by making that the norm a part of our year/years?! AND what if the government gave a nice tax advantage to the companies that particied in such a concept....

Mar 21 2013: I once had three months to donate as volunteer time. I tried three different organizations and I found none of them was capable or willing to use anything close to the talents I have. I am a highly technical IT professional. I am an accomplished technical writer. I am a specialist in analyzing an improving office processes. I predict that it would be a rare non-profit that would make meaningful use of this one week of free labor. The experience is likely to be more negative than positive for most participants.
Apr 1 2013: Greetings Li, Perhaps you should create something yourself that lets you use your talents. I think that would be wonderful. I am on the board of a local ballet company that could use some good web design, but it is hard to get someone who can put in the time that is needed to do it right. Look and you will find a way to use your talents. Good luck to you.

After the heart jarring ending of Poisonous Flames, you probably want to know what happens to all the characters.
That is why life invented sequels.
Dan takes Alyssa to the healers, and we meet the all famous Charisma Timms's brother!
Jared is back! And so is Agnes, and they will be up to their old tricks ; ).
Will Dylan find love in this one?
The world may never know if you don't read. =)

ahah lol :)
Chapter Two; Killer in the Crowd
Alyssa's POV
I felt my breathing speed up. The last thing I remembered was Jared's face; his disgusting, putrid, yet poisonously charming face. I couldn't think of anything else, though I wished I could. When my eyes fluttered open, I saw a hut filled with people, but I couldn't concentrate on any specific faces.
"Dan," I croaked, remembering he was there too. He couldn't be dead. He just couldn't.
My fever was worsening, but my senses were keener. I felt bodies shifting away, and someone moving toward me. I heard someone kneeling next to my bedside. Then, I recognized Dan's angelic touch against my cheekbones. It felt cold and soft, unlike Jared's rough and cup-like palms. It felt good, to feel the real Dan next to me again.
"Alyssa," He said finally, his voice was calm, though I felt his hands shaking against my body. I saw him clearly, his beautiful face, and his eyes.
"Marissa, please get her some cold water." A woman with black hair ordered a more slender girl with auburn hair. The girl with auburn hair nodded, and almost instantly handed me a glass of water.
"Give her some space; you're only making her fever worse!" The girl I now knew as Marissa said, and everyone except Dan backed up a few steps. "I'm Marissa, I'm a healer, and I only want to help you. Drink up; it will help your fever." She half smiled, and touched my forehead.
"Alright, thanks Christian, Edward, but I think we can take over from here. I'm sure Hazel and the children would like to know that Alyssa's going to be okay." Melissa said, and Edward got up from the chair. Then a muscular man who I hadn't known was standing behind me left as well, but he gave me a second glance before doing so.
He seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember who he reminded me of. I decided to shrug it off. We'd meet again soon anyway.
"Okay Alyssa, this is Ada, and the two girls next to her are Daphne and Lily." Marissa said soothingly. Ada crossed her arms, but Daphne and Lily each waved. Marissa bit her lip.
"Ada, Daniel, why don't you go inform the Forctis that Alyssa's okay." Marissa said. Ada left quickly.
Dan hesitated. "She'll be fine." Marissa assured him, he nodded. Dan came over and kissed my forehead, and then he followed Ada.
Marissa left the room to go get some supplies. So now I only had the company of Lily and Daphne. Neither of them had spoken to me.
"Are you guys not allowed to speak?" I asked as kindly as I could.
"No, we can." Daphne smiled.
"Marissa and Ada are in charge, so we just follow orders usually." Lily shrugged.
"Don't you ever question that system?" My brow furrowed.
"Rule number one, don't question the system." Daphne frowned.
"So, Alyssa, how does Jared look?" Lily quickly changed the subject.
"As good as any forty year old killer does." I laughed, Daphne did too.
"You have a good sense of humor." Daphne smiled, and I almost felt the three of us bond.
The all of the healers, besides Ada, had left to speak to the Forctis about my recovery. Dan went back to the Academy doing hell knows what. So I was left with Ada. She was flipping the pages in her book, pretending to read. She looked up at me.
"You do realize you're a demon hunter." Ada glanced at the pages and looked up again.
"No, I didn't." I said sarcastically. She ignored it.
"You and Dan aren't allowed to be in love." She spoke coldly.
"But my father and Charisma were?" I asked.
"Yes. But do you notice young Charisma is no longer with us? Neither is your father, last time I checked that is." Ada raised a brow.
"Yeah, but they weren't the savior and the demon hunter." I answered.
"Never the less, Daniel is a member of the Overworld, and you are a member of the Underworld. Those paths aren't meant to cross for anything more than protection. Daniel may protect you, but I protect him as a healer, and I don't want him to end up dead like Charisma. Not to mention, Edward wouldn't want you dead like James." Ada said.
"Your point?" I asked, raising a brow.
"The Forctis is still debating on it, but we are deciding whether or not Daniel can see you romantically. Just to inform you, Edward and I voted against it." She spoke bitterly.
"But our love life isn't your decision to make, it's ours!" I nearly shouted.
"Don't strain your voice dear, it isn't worth it. We have to take you and Daniel to the Underworld to make the final decision anyway." Ada shrugged.
"I've never been to the Underworld." I said.
"You were born there." She replied. I nodded.
I saw Dan coming in, and he looked distressed. "Ready to go?" He asked, and we teleported to the Underworld.
Okay, so we're setting up for the "trials" about Alyssa and Dan's love.
I can inform you that one character from the first book may surprise you in the next chapter ;).
This isn't the last of the Overworld =)
So, Ada's a creep, right? XD. I'm starting to prefer Jared.
Jared does return in the next chapter.
So be prepared.
Leave your comments, predictions, and questions!
Oh boy. I have a bad feeling about the trails. They should be free and love each other and not judged of who they are. You can't help who you love and so exited to see bad boy Jared back :)
I agree =)
But most of the Overworld doesn't ;)
yeah true :) and well boo them :( lol
Things are getting really interesting once again! The theme of forbidden love... I do hope Alyssa and Dan are allowed or will find a way to be together! But I am sure before that happens a lot of issues will have to be resolved first! Will you still have chapters describing past events, or is this story strictly going to take place in the present? It might be interesting to see how past events shaped people's thoughts and feelings in the present!
PS: I like Christian's character banner and the title of the chapter! Isn't it a line from one of the songs on the Eclipse soundtrack? And who or what is it referring to?
Haha, MANY issues =).
I will, I think I'll have to go into the past to explain more about Christian.
PS: Thanks so much. Ooh, you're good! It's in the bridge of Heavy in your Arms by Florence and the Machine. Well, it's referring to the fact that someone in the crowd caused the trials about Alyssa and Dan, and they are the "killer in the crowd". Maybe I said too much ^-^?
I love that song, its from the eclipse soundtrack I think
Mhm! It is a great song, I love that band in general. They also did Breath of Life for Snow White & the Huntsman.
I want to see that movie lol
It was pretty good, but kinda overrated. :/
how come?

Is History an important subject in school? Or should we be focusing on the future?
In a year 3 essay on dinosaurs I once concluded (much to my teachers dismay) on the statement "We should not learn about dinosaurs in school, because they are in the past, and we need to focus on the future." I now see that history is important, but is it important enough to be a main part of classrooms around the world?
Do you think that history should be condensed or eliminated, and replaced by more pressing issues?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 5 2012: It's hard enough to ferret out truth from the histories we are taught by those who have taken the trouble to educate and inform themselves. To leave it to pop culture is to turn the world over to the old saw, "Everybody knows that...," which, of course, is nothing but "mob" history with close kinship to "mob" law. Those things children learn in their youth stay with them their whole lives. If those things are what I like to call reality, the child gets a good start; otherwise, not so much. Ever had an argument with anyone about Israel/Palestine? It's a perfect example of how people either pick and choose their "facts"; how they outright lie; and how they base their arguments on things "Everybody knows that...." The first step in resolving any conflict is for the parties to agree on what the facts are. If that cannot be done, there is never any mutually satisfactory solution and "might makes right" becomes the norm. History should equal facts. If it does not and if humanity never can agree that "Joe said this" or "joe did that" even seconds after Joe says or does something that gets recorded accurately, then humanity will never, ever have peace. So, yes, teaching history matters. Not teaching history is an abdication of responsibility. We must try to understand.

Topic - Returning after an accident
anomm - on 19 Feb 2013
Almost six months ago I was seconding my first ever multi-pitch route. However there was a major rockfall which hit us. Had to be airlifted of and toe amputated as a result. This was obviously a pretty big deal and not what a sixteen year old was expecting in his first ever multipitch!
I'm only just starting to get back into it with indoor climbing and recently setting up top ropes at my local crag. However its made a pretty huge dent in my confidence. I'm going to only do one pitch routes for the foreseeable future and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get back into trad -as to be honest im too scared to at the moment. Now that I know how easily things can go wrong its hard to take the plunge.
There must be some other people that have had problems getting back into it mentally.

ROME -- This year's walk began in Australia early on Sunday morning and continued throughout all 24 time zones to end on the Pacific island of Samoa.
Now in its seventh year, the Walk the World event was sponsored by three of WFP's global private sector partners: express delivery company TNT, consumer goods company Unilever, and nutrition and life-science specialists DSM.
The largest walk took place in Tanzania, where early estimates showed that about 50,000 people turned up to walk in four locations. The largest walk was in Arusha, and was led by Tanzania's Prime Minister, Mizengo Kayanza Peter Pinda. The walk featured dancing and singing by school children, as well as an auction of four cows to raise funds for WFP's school feeding programmes in the country.
Incentive to attend school
WFP is currently providing school meals to over 202,000 school children at 330 schools in food insecure areas in four regions of Tanzania. This programme has proved to be a strong incentive for children to enrol, attend and concentrate in schools.
On the other side of the globe in Denmark, where 1,200 people walked in a handful of locations, walkers in Copenhagen were getting their own taste of Tanzania when celebrity chef Nicolaij Kirk cooked a rice-and-beans dish inspired by the meals WFP distributes to Tanzanian schoolchildren.
"Raised the stakes"
In Zambia, where 1,000 people walked in Lusaka, WFP's Country Director Pablo Recalde said: "Walk the World has raised the stakes for the fight against hunger in Zambia. It's a great example of the government, the private sector and the UN system delivering as one, ready to work together to achieve the goal of a world free from hunger."

Update #2 (AKA HAHAHA 9 hours left and I don't even)
So I've been working hard to get this UI interaction shit to work. I have like less then 9 hours left. Guess what.
Forget about it XD I'm going with the old style of underlining the First letter in the buttons on screen and having the user PRESS that letter on the keyboard. If I do that I can probably finish this thing and finally be happy. It's been a dream of mine to upload a finished game to ludum dare. Seriously.
Anywho, this quick update was brought to you by anger and depression.

It is possible to claim that a designer's creativity is limited by the very programs that are supposed to free their imagination. The motto "form follows software" is indeed a contemporary Whorfian hypothesis that still applies not only to language as a tool but also to computer tools. The reason for that is that there is a finite amount of ideas that a brain can imagine or produce by using a CAD application. If designers don't find the tool/icon that they want, then they are simply stuck. And, conversely, whenever they use a new tool provided for them by programmers, they think that they are now able to do something new and "cool." But are they really doing anything new? Or are they simply replicating a process already conceived by the programmer who provided the tool? Of course, if designers knew the processes, principles, and methods of the program behind the tool, then they would be empowered to always keep expanding their knowledge and scholarship by always devising solutions not tackled by anybody else. By using a conventional program, and always relying on its design possibilities, the designer/architect's work is sooner or later at risk of being imitated, controlled, or manipulated by CAD solutions. By clut- tering the field with imitations of a type of particular software, one runs the risk of being associated not with cutting-edge research but with a mannerism of style.

The Event
The whole program is expected to be officiated by the Vice Minister of Agriculture, The Republic of Indonesia. The first day of conference will focus on the future business and global market of palm oil to prosper people yet sustaining the environment. Furthermore, the concept of clustering and its practices will be discussed to optimize the palm industry and strengthen its competitiveness along with other vegetable oil commodities.
Day 2, the conference will address total plantation management for higher yield yet environmentally sound through best practices in making use of knowledge in planting materials, fertilizers, agrochemicals and other technologies. Recent development in waste management will be deliberated with the view of utilization such as methane capture technologies in integration with energy generation.
Day 3 will be special because of the topic of palm oil sustainability. Progress in the implementation of sustainable palm oil initiatives, both RSPO (Roundtable Sustainable Palm Oil, a voluntary initiative) and ISPO (Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil, a mandatory movement in Indonesia) are still a hot issue for the palm oil community. How these two schemes promote competitiveness of palm oil in global vegetable oil market and to make real contribution to the practice of sustainable agriculture are yet to be seen. The challenges are the improvement of practices on the ground, certification of a large number of companies and smallholders and increase the uptake of certified palm oil. Certification of manufactures is even more challenging.

(Updates with DeLauro comments in 20th paragraph.)
Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Some of the largest U.S. business groups are lining up behind President Barack Obama to pressure Congress to clear the way for a pair of trade deals that could set rules for more than half the world's economy.
The agreements, with 11 Pacific Rim countries and the 28- nation European Union may also help Obama deliver on his promise to double U.S. exports above 2009 levels by the end of the year, an increasingly distant goal.
Standing in his way: almost 200 Democrats and Republicans who say they won't yield to him the "fast track" authority to hammer out agreements without congressional amendments.
"Fast-track authority is an undemocratic seizure of power that usurps our ability to represent the American people," Representative Louise Slaughter, a New York Democrat, said. "There's absolutely no reason why it should be renewed."
In the coming days, Senate Finance Committee leaders Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican, plan to introduce a bill to give Obama fast-track authority. The ensuing debate may produce one of the most contentious discussions of trade policy on Capitol Hill since the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement 20 years ago.
Roundtable, Chamber
The Trade Benefits America Coalition, led by groups including the Business Roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Association of Manufacturers, is backing Obama. The coalition -- whose approximately 160 members include Boeing Co., MetLife Inc., Pfizer Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. -- has ramped up its lobbying campaign in recent months.
The coalition has held hundreds of meetings with federal, state and local officials to counter growing opposition to the administration's agenda. They've run ads in influential papers and started a website to tout what they see as the benefits of trade-promotion authority, or TPA, as fast-track is formally known.

NYK Weekly Report: Blowouts everywhere, still can't rebound, Novak heating up
11/26/12 in NBA | Matthew_Shovlin | 735 respect
I can't give the Knicks anything higher than a "C-" this week, and it's based very much on one game. The silver lining of Friday's game was that I was not in public, so I didn't cause a scene.
So here we are - Blowouts. Watching Knicks/Rockets, I can't remember ever seeing so much talent put in such little effort on the basketball court. Every player looked like they were playing for Grinnell College - "Who cares if they score? We'll just hit a three!" There was no sense of pride. Chandler Parsons nearly scored a career single-game high in the first quarter. The team just repeatedly let Rockets players waltz down the lane and do whatever they wanted. It was all capped off by Carmelo Anthony arguing with an official while Patrick Patterson got an easy dunk right behind his back - the most disappointed I've ever been in Carmelo.
The other two blowouts, however, were in the Knicks' favor. Of course, they were against two very bad teams, and one of them was without its best player. These are games that I'd like to see frequently out of the Knicks, so while I am impressed, it's nothing to phone home about. People are talking about the Knicks as one of the top two contenders in the Eastern Conference. If they want to keep that status, they have to handle bad teams easily.
Another week has gone by, and the Knicks are still experiencing rebounding woes. They were out-rebounded in three of their four games last week, and were a disgraceful -19 in rebounding against the Rockets. 19 year old rookie Andre Drummond dominated the boards on Sunday, hauling in 11 rebounds in only 19 minutes. Marcus Camby played 15 minutes total in last week's four games, so the Knicks looking to the trade market for a rebounding presence in a few months is starting to look like a strong possibility.
Steve Novak looks like he's starting to find his rhythm from behind the arc. Despite the Knicks' early season excellence from three, Novak had only shot over 40% from downtown in two of his first nine games (shot 47.2% last season). After a tough 2-10 night on Tuesday, Novak was given an easy 13 minute game the following night. In the two games since, he's shot 8-14 from downtown, and could really stretch the floor and add firepower for the Knicks if he can return to last season's form.
Other notes: In last week's lone close game, head coach Mike Woodson used only eight players... Rasheed wallace averaged 10.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game off the bench last week... Raymond Felton has (appropriately) been taking less shots, taking 12.5 per game last week compared to 18.5 the week before... Carmelo has been absolutely on fire out of the gate, scoring in the high-teens in three of four first quarters last week - I'd like to see him like that in the fourth quarter, though... Tyson Chandler had one of his best weeks as a Knick, averaging 11.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and shooting an incredible 84.2% from the field... The team shot under 81% from the foul line in only one game all week, and went 28-31 on Sunday... Amar'e Stoudemire is targeting a late-December return, and Woodson wouldn't commit to whether or not he'll be in the starting lineup.
This week's Knicks games: Monday @ BKN, Wednesday @ MIL, Friday vs. WAS, Sunday vs. PHO.
