Chief Justice of Sri Lanka summons two cases mentioned in impeachment motion against her
Mon, Nov 12, 2012, 10:15 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Nov 12 (CP) Colombo- The embattled Chief Justice of Sri Lanka Dr. Shirani Bandaranayake has informed the Registrar of Supreme Court to table today before her two cases mentioned in the impeachment motion against her.
The Chief Justice has informed this to the court registrar on November 08th, sources say. The motive behind the Chief Justice's move is not disclosed.
The fundamental rights application cases bearing Nos. 262/2009 and 191/2009 are listed in the Daily Court List of the Supreme Court for Monday under a special "To be Mentioned" category before a three-judge bench consisting of the Chief Justice, and justices N.G. Amaratunga and K. Sripavan,
The two fundamental rights cases, 262/2009 and 191/2009, have been filed in the Supreme Court against Ceylinco Sri Ram Capital Management and Golden Key Credit Card Company respectively.
The first count of the impeachment motion filed in the parliament pertains to the two cases where a questionable purchase of house from Ceylinco Housing and Property and City Housing and Real Estate Company Limited and Ceylinco Condominium Limited and is currently known as Trillium Residencies has been made by the Chief Justice on behalf of her sister.
The full text of the charge related to the petitions
"Whereas by purchasing, in the names of two individuals, i.e. Renuka Niranjali Bandaranayake and Kapila Ranjan Karunaratne using special power of attorney licence bearing No. 823 of Public Notary K.B. Aroshi Perera that was given by Renuka Niranjali Bandaranayake and Kapila Ranjan Karunaratne residing at No. 127, Ejina Street, Mount Hawthorn, Western Australia, 6016, Australia, the house bearing No. 2C/F2/P4 and assessment No. 153/1-2/4 from the housing scheme located at No. 153, Elvitigala Mawatha, Colombo 08 belonging to the company that was known as Ceylinco Housing and Property Company and City Housing and Real Estate Company Limited and Ceylinco Condominium Limited and is currently known as Trillium Residencies which is referred in the list of property in the case of fundamental rights application No. 262/2009, having removed another bench of the Supreme Court which was hearing the fundamental rights application cases bearing Nos. 262/2009, 191/2009 and 317/2009 filed respectively in the Supreme Court against Ceylinco Sri Ram Capital Management, Golden Key Credit Card Company and Finance and Guarantee Company Limited belonging to the Ceylinco Group of Companies and taking up further hearing of the aforesaid cases under her court and serving as the presiding judge of the benches hearing the said cases;"

In a coded self-assembly, a simple code is written in the molecule, which self-assembles the molecules into a fractal like structure, which acts as a seed for the next step. As the molecule turns into a complex seed, the code transforms into another form and several seeds self-assemble into another structure, which acts as a seed for the next step. Until now, this technology was considered as a prerogative of nature. Here, a dendritic network is used to write a basic code by synthetically attaching 32 molecular rotors and doping two controller molecules in its cavity. The code live, which is an energy transmission path in the molecule, is imaged. When the energy transmission path or code is triggered, a series of products generate one after another spontaneously. Two examples are: i) dendritic seed (5–6 nm)paired nanowire (≈12 nm)nanowire (≈200 nm)microwire (500 nm)wire like rod (1–2 μm)jellyrectangular sheet (5 μm). ii) dendritic seednano-sphere (20 nm)micro-sphere (500 nm)large balls(1 μm)oval shape rod (5–10 μm)Y, L or T shaped rod assembly. The energy level interactions are tracked using spectroscopy how exactly a directed energy transfer code generates multi-step synthesis from nano to the visible scale.

I like to explore vast expanses of terrain on foot. Specifically mountainous regions, on 2 week long unicorn hunting trips. I usually snag about 2 or 3 and sell the horns on eBay. I only hunt with a bow. I don't believe in using guns for hunting. That is too easy, although I am an avid fan of firearms. As you can see my income is substantial. This is achieved solely by the selling of the horns. I took one to Antique's Roadshow and it was appraised at $4,000. Marry me and you will become rich beyond your wildest dreams. I might even capture one of the unicorns alive with it's horn intact and give it to you as a token of my love.

Married to Moliére
Moliére's obsessive Arnolphe may not be as icily contemptuous as Nabokov's Humbert Humbert, but he shares the latter's self-blindness and casual cruelty. At the same time, Moliére makes this lecherous schemer so pitifully foolish that his nasty machinations leave us less scandalized than helplessly amused. Arnolphe thinks keeping his young wife-to-be, Agnés, uneducated and sequestered will preserve her charms for him alone, an isolation drill that both Ralph Reed and the holy men of Qum might endorse today. But Agnés proves definitively that native wit and decency can triumph against the most pathological of educations. Rousseau may not have had much time for Moliére, but this time they're on the same page.
An elegantly bare set lends Pearl Theatre Company's production an admirably unpretentious style. And this School for Wives is pitched decidedly to the groundlings. More faith in the audience to catch the play's drift with less mugging would be appreciated, especially given Earle Edgerton's fluidly lucid translation. Hana Moon still seems to be searching for a cohesive take on her Agnés, but Dan Daily's cheerfully obtuse Arnolphe keeps this wickedly precise, profoundly moral classic vibrant.

The numbers tell it: Screen violence still popular
Screen violence remains a big hit with the public, despite calls for the entertainment industry to tone it down in the aftermath of the mass shootings at Aurora, Colo., Newtown, Conn, and elsewhere in the U.S. during the last 12 months. See for yourself. Here are the top 10 most popular titles at the movies, on TV and in video games during that period, with the violent films in caps:
(so far this year as of July 7)
1. "IRON MAN 3," Disney, $406.4 million: Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America "for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence throughout."
2. "MAN OF STEEL," Warner Bros., $271.2 million: Rated PG-13 "for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, action and destruction."
3. "FAST & FURIOUS 6," Universal, $235.4 million: Rated PG-13 "for intense sequences of violence and action and mayhem throughout."
4. "Oz the Great and Powerful," Disney, $234.8 million: Rated PG.
5. "STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS," Paramount, $223.1 million: Rated PG-13 "for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence."

10. "Despicable Me 2," Universal, $142.1 million: Rated PG.
(the 2012-2013 season, according to Nielsen)
1."Sunday Night Football," NBC, 20.93 million viewers. Bone-crunching violence, but it's all part of the game.
2."NCIS," CBS, 18.51 million. Judged unsuitable for children by the Parents Television Council for its violence. Separate episodes this season featured discoveries of a severed head and severed finger.
3."The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 15.57 million. Judged unsuitable for children, but for sexual innuendo and not violence.
4."NCIS: LOS ANGELES," CBS, 15.08 million. Judged unsuitable for children because of violence. Gunplay, a cyanide poisoning and discovery of bodies were all part of the mix.
5."Dancing With the Stars," ABC, 13.94 million.
6."PERSON OF INTEREST," CBS, 13.41 million. Judged unsuitable for children. A suicide, plutonium poisoning and the shooting of a hitman were all part of the show this year. The discovery of 32 human teeth in a furnace was a tip-off that a serial killer was on the loose.

Social Security Reform:
Information on Using a Voluntary Approach to Individual Accounts

Many proposals have been offered to restructure the U.S. Social Security system to include individual retirement savings accounts. However, some key proposals would make participation in the accounts voluntary rather than mandatory. While any individual account plan can offer a variety of choices regarding contributions, investments, and withdrawals, the choice of whether or not to participate is fundamental to a voluntary approach. That choice could have significant effects on individual retirement incomes and on the costs to the government as well. GAO was asked to report on the implications of using a voluntary approach to individual accounts. Accordingly, GAO's reporting on (1) how voluntary plans can affect individuals, (2) how they could affect the total costs of the retirement system, and (3) the role of educational efforts relating to the participation decision. Throughout this report, GAO focuses on the issues that pertain specifically to a voluntary approach as distinct from a mandatory approach. GAO studied three countries that have enacted voluntary individual account plans--the Czech Republic, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
If policymakers decide to restructure Social Security to include individual accounts, making participation voluntary has significant implications for designing and administering the plan. While offering the choice to participate may be desirable, doing so substantially increases the complexity of an individual account plan and potentially its total costs. A variety of voluntary plan design features have potentially significant effects on individuals and total system costs. The design features of voluntary individual account plans can affect whether individuals participate in the accounts and what retirement incomes they will receive. For example, some voluntary plans, such as those in the three countries we studied--the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, and Germany, offer people the ability to opt in and opt out of the account periodically. Individuals may consider the extent of such flexibility in deciding whether to participate in the accounts. Also, voluntary plans generally offer incentives to participate, while mandatory plans do not need them. In addition to increasing participation, incentives generally add to the value of the accounts and, therefore, ultimately to the retirement income the accounts will provide. The three countries we studied offered incentives such as government contributions and tax advantages. Voluntary individual account plans can also affect the total system costs to the government, providers, employers, or participants, depending on design. In some cases, offering choice involves additional administrative, incentive, and educational costs related to individuals' participation decisions. In particular, tracking individuals' participation decisions would require administrative processes that do not arise in mandatory plans. All three countries we studied used a centralized government authority to track participation and handle account contributions. Moreover, the uncertainty of participation rates in turn creates uncertainty for a variety of costs associated with individual account plans. For example, in the United Kingdom, participation in the individual accounts was much greater than expected, which resulted in unexpectedly high incentive costs. In addition, costs would arise from the need to educate individuals to help them make informed decisions about participating in voluntary accounts. Significant education efforts may help individuals make informed participation decisions. Individuals face complex participation decisions in addition to the contribution, investment, and withdrawal decisions they might face in a mandatory plan. To make informed participation decisions, individuals need to understand the effects on their government retirement, disability, and survivor benefits and on their retirement income as a whole.

Article: The Benefits of High School Career and Technical Education (CTE) for Youth With Learning Disabilities[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2), this study examines the career and technical education (CTE) course taking of high school students with learning disabilities (LD) in the context of the national movement toward higher standards for determining whether students leave high school "college and career ready." Descriptive analyses document the extent of general education CTE course taking overall by students with LD and their engagement in a concentrated program of occupationally specific general education CTE, a level of course taking early research has linked to improved post-high school employment outcomes. Propensity score modeling was used to determine whether either type of CTE course taking is related to higher odds of full-time employment after high school and whether results differ with the length of time youth were out of high school. Results show no benefits of CTE course taking overall, but demonstrate a significant positive effect for participating in a concentration of occupationally specific CTE in the first 2 post-high school years; effects are nonsignificant for later years. The implications for high school programming and transition planning for students with LD are discussed. © Hammill Institute on Disabilities 2015.Journal of Learning Disabilities 03/2015; DOI:10.1177/0022219415574774

ABSTRACT: To better understand the nature of impairment resulting from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for students in a post-secondary education (PSE) setting, the authors analyzed the symptoms and associated impairment of 135 students with a diagnosis of ADHD who were recruited via Student Disability Services in Canadian post-secondary institutions. The authors (a) developed a novel semistructured telephone interview based on the 6-item Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Screener-Telephone Interview With Probes (ASRS-TIPS) to elicit students' descriptions of their behavior for each symptom they endorsed, (b) administered standardized tests of executive functioning (EF) and academic fluency, and (c) obtained self-reports of grade point averages (GPAs), EF, cognitive failures, psychopathology, distress, and resilience. Qualitative analysis of the ASRS-TIPS revealed significant impairment relating to symptoms of ADHD in the PSE setting. Students reported clinically significant symptoms of ADHD, psychological distress, and impairment in EF (67%, severe range) and cognitive failure (62%, atypical range) in everyday life. By contrast, their GPAs and standardized scores of EF and academic fluency were in the average range. Standardized scores and GPAs did not capture the impairment that participants experienced in their PSE settings. The ASRS-TIPS may provide a useful tool to help document how these students' symptoms impair functioning in the PSE setting. © Hammill Institute on Disabilities 2015.Journal of Learning Disabilities 03/2015; DOI:10.1177/0022219415576523
Article: Examining Postsecondary Education Predictors and Participation for Students With Learning Disabilities[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Given the history of poor postschool outcomes for students with disabilities, researchers repeatedly sought to demonstrate the links between predictor variables and postschool outcomes for students with disabilities. This secondary data analysis used the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 to examine the relationship between postsecondary education-related transition services and postsecondary education participation for students with learning disabilities. Logistic regression analyses indicated receiving core content area instruction in the general education classroom was positively related to postsecondary education participation. Frequency distributions indicated students with learning disabilities attended 2-year college at higher rates than other postsecondary education programs. The results suggest educators should consider inclusion in general education classroom for core content area instruction for students with learning disabilities with postsecondary education goals to the extent permitted by their least restrictive environment. © Hammill Institute on Disabilities 2015.Journal of Learning Disabilities 02/2015; DOI:10.1177/0022219415572894
Article: Accommodation Decision Making for Postsecondary Students With Learning Disabilities: Individually Tailored or One Size Fits All?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Clinicians uniformly recommend accommodations for college students with learning disabilities; however, we know very little about which accommodations they select and the validity of their recommendations. We examined the assessment documentation of a large sample of community college students receiving academic accommodations for learning disabilities to determine (a) which accommodations their clinicians recommended and (b) whether clinicians' recommendations were supported by objective data gathered during the assessment process. In addition to test and instructional accommodations, many clinicians recommended that students with learning disabilities should have different educational expectations, standards, and methods of evaluation (i.e., grading) than their nondisabled classmates. Many of their recommendations for accommodations were not supported by objective evidence from students' history, diagnosis, test data, and current functioning. Furthermore, clinicians often recommended accommodations that were not specific to the student's diagnosis or area of disability. Our findings highlight the need for individually selected accommodations matched to students' needs and academic contexts.Journal of Learning Disabilities 11/2014; DOI:10.1177/0022219414559648
Article: Examining Associations Among ADHD, Homework Behavior, and Reading Comprehension: A Twin Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previous literature has indicated an important association between reading comprehension and both attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and homework habits. This investigation sought to extend previous knowledge by providing information about how ADHD and homework behavior (i.e., completing homework regularly) may jointly influence reading comprehension. Using a genetically sensitive design, this study examined the genetic and environmental influences on and between ADHD, homework behavior and reading comprehension. Participants for this study included 691 twin pairs (351 monozygotic, 340 same-sex dizygotic) from the Florida Twin Project on Behavior and Environment (FTP-BE) and 2647 twin pairs (865 monozygotic, 1782 dizygotic) from the larger Florida Twin Project on Reading (FTP-R) in Grades 3 through 7. Three separate models, each representing a different definition of ADHD (full ADHD, inattention only, and hyperactivity/impulsivity only), showed similar patterns of results; therefore, results of the full ADHD model are discussed. Overlapping genetic influences were found between ADHD, homework behavior, and reading comprehension, but no shared environmental influences among all three. However, shared environmental influences overlapped between homework behavior and reading comprehension. Although the sources of this environmental overlap are unknown, these results have implications for improving homework practices and their subsequent influence on literacy skills through homework environments.Journal of Learning Disabilities 10/2014; DOI:10.1177/0022219414555715
Article: Examining the Relationships of Component Reading Skills to Reading Comprehension in Struggling Adult Readers: A Meta-Analysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The current study employed a meta-analytic approach to investigate the relative importance of component reading skills to reading comprehension in struggling adult readers. A total of 10 component skills were consistently identified across 16 independent studies and 2,707 participants. Random effects models generated 76 predictor-reading comprehension effect sizes among the 10 constructs. The results indicated that six of the component skills exhibited strong relationships with reading comprehension (average rs ≥ .50): morphological awareness, language comprehension, fluency, oral vocabulary knowledge, real word decoding, and working memory. Three of the component skills yielded moderate relationships with reading comprehension (average rs ≥ .30 and < .50): pseudoword decoding, orthographic knowledge, and phonological awareness. Rapid automatized naming (RAN) was the only component skill that was weakly related to reading comprehension (r = .15). Morphological awareness was a significantly stronger correlate of reading comprehension than phonological awareness and RAN. This study provides the first attempt at a systematic synthesis of the recent research investigating the reading skills of adults with low literacy skills, a historically understudied population. Directions for future research, the relation of our results to the children's literature, and the implications for researchers and adult basic education programs are discussed.Journal of Learning Disabilities 10/2014; DOI:10.1177/0022219414555415
Article: The Effects of Schema-Based Instruction on the Proportional Thinking of Students With Mathematics Difficulties With and Without Reading Difficulties[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study examined the effect of schema-based instruction (SBI) on the proportional problem-solving performance of students with mathematics difficulties only (MD) and students with mathematics and reading difficulties (MDRD). Specifically, we examined the responsiveness of 260 seventh grade students identified as MD or MDRD to a 6-week treatment (SBI) on measures of proportional problem solving. Results indicated that students in the SBI condition significantly outperformed students in the control condition on a measure of proportional problem solving administered at posttest (g = 0.40) and again 6 weeks later (g = 0.42). The interaction between treatment group and students' difficulty status was not significant, which indicates that SBI was equally effective for both students with MD and those with MDRD. Further analyses revealed that SBI was particularly effective at improving students' performance on items related to percentages. Finally, students with MD significantly outperformed students with MDRD on all measures of proportional problem solving. These findings suggest that interventions designed to include effective instructional features (e.g., SBI) promote student understanding of mathematical ideas.Journal of Learning Disabilities 10/2014; DOI:10.1177/0022219414554228
Article: Prevalence and Profile of Phonological and Surface Subgroups in College Students With a History of Reading Disability[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of the present study was to identify and characterize surface and phonological subgroups of readers among college students with a prior diagnosis of developmental reading disability (RD). Using a speeded naming task derived from Castles and Coltheart's subtyping study, we identified subgroups of readers from among college students with RD and then compared them on a number of component reading tasks. Most of our adults with RD showed a discrepancy in lexical versus sublexical reading skills. The majority of classified individuals were in the phonological dyslexia group, and this group's performance was worse than that of other groups on a range of reading-related tasks. Specifically, being relatively less skilled at reading nonwords compared to irregular words was associated with deficits in both sublexical and lexical tasks, and with unique deficits compared to the surface dyslexia group not only in an independent measure of phonological coding but also in spelling, rapid automatized naming, and speeded oral reading. The surface dyslexia group was small, and the pattern of results for these readers was not consistent with the predicted profile of a specific deficit in lexical and automatized reading processes. Our surface group did not show reduced skill in lexical mechanisms specifically, nor any unique deficit compared to the phonological group. These results seem more supportive of models of reading that place phonological processing impairments at the core of RD, with all other impairments being clearly subsidiary.Journal of Learning Disabilities 10/2014; DOI:10.1177/0022219414554007
Article: The Influence of Spelling Ability on Vocabulary Choices When Writing for Children With Dyslexia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Spelling is a prerequisite to expressing vocabulary in writing. Research has shown that children with dyslexia are hesitant spellers when composing. This study aimed to determine whether the hesitant spelling of children with dyslexia, evidenced by frequent pausing, affects vocabulary choices when writing. A total of 31 children with dyslexia, mean age 9 years, were compared to typically developing groups of children: the first matched by age, the second by spelling ability. Oral vocabulary was measured and children completed a written and verbal compositional task. Lexical diversity comparisons were made across written and verbal compositions to highlight the constraint of having to select and spell words. A digital writing tablet recorded the writing. Children with dyslexia and the spelling-ability group made a high proportion of spelling errors and within-word pauses, and had a lower lexical diversity within their written compositions compared to their verbal compositions. The age-matched peers demonstrated the opposite pattern. Spelling ability and pausing predicted 53% of the variance in written lexical diversity of children with dyslexia, demonstrating the link between spelling and vocabulary when writing. Oral language skills had no effect. Lexical diversity correlated with written and verbal text quality for all groups. Practical implications are discussed and related to writing models.Journal of Learning Disabilities 09/2014; DOI:10.1177/0022219414552018
Article: Forced-Attention Dichotic Listening With University Students With Dyslexia: Search for a Core Deficit[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Rapidly changing environments in day-to-day activities, enriched with stimuli competing for attention, require a cognitive control mechanism to select relevant stimuli, ignore irrelevant stimuli, and shift attention between alternative features of the environment. Such attentional orchestration is essential to the acquisition of reading skills. In the present forced attention dichotic listening study, adults with moderate and severe dyslexia and nondisabled adults were tested on their ability to switch attention between ears for immediate recall. Blocks of pairs of consonant-vowel syllables were counterbalanced into left-ear first or right-ear first ordered conditions. Significant order effects showed that only those with severe dyslexia were poorer in switching attention to the left ear, whereas both groups with dyslexia were poorer switching attention to the right ear. Shifting left appears to be a normative function of reading level, whereas inferior ability to disengage attending to the left ear to report from the right ear qualifies as a dysfunctional facet of dyslexia with etiological significance. No support was found for the traditional proposition that dyslexia may be associated with atypical left hemisphere lateralization. Combining these results with previous dichotic and neuroimaging research implicates a dysfunctional frontostriatal cognitive control network in dyslexia. With due caution, the results suggest that a neurobiological feature of dyslexia may be a lack of control in downwardly modulating excessive left inferior frontal cortex activations. The results are consistent with impoverished connectedness between left anterior and posterior language areas and, pending future confirmation of these findings, suggest the need for a reconceptualization of remedial programming.Journal of Learning Disabilities 08/2014; DOI:10.1177/0022219414547222

This is a great luxury nail salon. Their prices are reasonable, especially for the level of service they provide. This is a great place to take the girls for an inexpensive gel mani. You will feel adequately pampered her.

Wonderful place with not only great customer service but amazing attention to detail. The staff know well what they should do in specific service and they always do a great job. Never walked out disappointed!
I don 19t like artificial nail...by kroatiaki on 04/23/2011
I don't like artificial nails, but my best friend does. She always goes to the nail salon in Truckee and every time she comes back with the most extraordinary designs. The ladies there paint your nails skillfully and they also decorate them with glitter, flowers and beautiful drawings. I sometimes go with her to keep her company and catch up when she gets her nails done. Although conversation can be difficult because of the language, the ladies are very nice to talk to. I once had a pedicure done and it was great! I stepped out the door with beautifully painted toe nails. Also a plus, you pay far less than most nail salons in the area!

University of Arizona Moving Transgender Studies Forward With Program Expansion
September 6, 2013 by Guest contributor
Post submitted by Adam Bradley, HRC Communications Intern
The University of Arizona last week announced plans to hire four tenure-track professors in transgender studies within the next two years, making the school's Institute for LGBT Studies a leading resource on transgender scholarship.
In the same hiring call, the university stated its intention to establish a Center for Critical Studies of the Body and a graduate program in transgender studies. UA already houses the groundbreaking Transgender Studies Quarterly (TSQ), forthcoming in 2014.
Institute director Susan Stryker, a leading transgender scholar and co-author of The Transgender Studies Reader, expressed excitement over the moves.
"Right now my colleagues and I are in the blue sky and white board stage. We're in uncharted territory," Stryker told the Huffington Post. "I really hope this is just the start of a trend. I hope that what we are able to do at UA will show other universities that this is a viable field."
It is clear that media and pundits still struggle to treat the transgender community with the dignity and respect they deserve—exemplified by their treatment of Pvt. Chelsea E. Manning. Earlier this week, HRC joined over 40 organizations calling for journalists and officials to respect the basic human dignity of transgender individuals by referring to them by their chosen names and personal pronouns.
With these moves, UA has the opportunity to positively impact that discourse and contribute to the growing field of transgender scholarship in an unprecedented way.

In a response letter to the publication, Zdeblick wrote that The Spine Journal's criticisms were "Inappropriate and irresponsible."
"Although interesting, a single publication in the medical literature does not constitute a 'truth," Zdeblick wrote.
Referring to Carragee's overseas stint in the military, he described his "18-month" hiatus as impacting his style as a surgeon. "I am concerned not only with the validity of the conclusions drawn but also with the tone of the commentary chosen to accompany the article," Zdeblick added.
Carragee and his colleagues responded to Zdeblick in a letter, writing that the physician made "unwarranted personal and professional attacks."
''The old saying is 'follow the money' and in this case, there is plenty to follow," Carragee and his co-authors wrote. Carragee wrote that Zdeblick had a "$23 million financial relationship" with Medtronic that has been the "subject of a publicly documented investigation by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA)." Zdeblick also receives "millions of royalty dollars" from a tapered fusion device product sold separate from the Infuse Bone Graft, but must be used together with the product, they wrote.
"If a guy has done good work and discovered great things and gets royalties for it, he should get paid for whatever the market bears," Carragee says. "The question is: should he be writing the basic seminal paper on it as well. Or maybe he should be writing a white paper for the company."
"I think we have to separate advertising copy from scientific articles," he adds. "If you want to write advertising copy, plenty of people will have a section for it."
Carragee criticized the lack of proper procedures in documenting disclosures and other areas that could reveal potential conflicts of interest. The Spine Journal also is changing its disclosure requirements for its top staff, he says.
The journal has taken steps to restructure its editorial process ensuring divestiture and disclosure of potential conflicts.
"If we want people to be transparent, we ought to be transparent," he says.

In a session that has been painfully boring so far (yet which should pick up with CPI, jobless claims, industrial production and the NY Empire Fed on deck, as well as Wal-Mart earnings which will no doubt reflect the continuing disappointing retail plight) perhaps the only notable news was that Japan - the nation that brought you "Fukushima is contained" - was caught in yet another lie. Recall that the upside catalyst (and source of Yen weakness) two days ago was what we classified then as "paradoxical news" that Japan would cut corporate taxes in a move that somehow would offset the upcoming consumption tax hike. Turns out that, as our gut sense indicated, this was merely yet another BS trial balloon out of Japan, which admitted overnight that the entire report was a lie.

David Stockman: Hedge Funds, Prime Brokers, And The Whirligig of Wall Street FinanceSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/08/2013 19:41 -0400
As David Stockman, Reagan's infamous Budget Director, writes in his bestseller, The Great Deformation: The Corruption Of Capitalism In America – "the last thing hedge funds do is hedge." The hedge fund complex is "not so much a conventional industry as it is a giant moveable trade": Wall Street trading desks frequently morph into independent hedge fund partnerships, and senior hedge funds often sire "cubs" and then sons of cubs. The protean ability of this arrangement to spawn, fund, and replicate successful momentum trades cannot be overstated, and has "generated trillions of permanent momentum-chasing capital." Ultimately, he warns, "apologists for the Fed's evisceration of the capital markets could not see... they had unleashed the financial furies in the violent momentum trading modus operandi of the hedge fund casino."

With spot gold prices down 28% year-to-date, it appears John Paulson's Gold Fund has managed to create some epic high-beta losses. In a letter to investors, Paulson explains his fund fell 23% in June, is down 65% in 2013; but do not fear - as he concludes time and time again, the gold fund will "produce outsized returns in the long-run".

Are We On The Verge Of Witnessing The Death Of The Paper Gold Scam?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/09/2013 17:25 -0400
The legal claims on physical gold far exceed the amount of physical gold that the banks actually have by a very, very wide margin. And right now the bankers are scared out of their wits because their warehouses are being drained of physical gold at a frightening rate. So what happens when their physical gold is gone but they still have lots and lots of people with legal claims to gold? When that moment arrives, it will represent the end of the paper gold scam. Many believe that the recent takedown of the price of paper gold was a desperate attempt by the bankers to put off that day of reckoning, but it appears to have greatly backfired on them. Instead of cooling off demand for precious metals, it has unleashed a massive "gold rush" all over the globe. This is creating havoc in the financial community, and at least one major international bank has already declared that it will only be settling those accounts in cash from now on. The paper gold scam is starting to unravel, and by the time this is all over it is going to be a complete and total nightmare for global financial markets. For years it has been widely known that the promises that banks have made regarding their gold far exceed their actual ability to deliver, but we have never reached a moment of such crisis before.

Phil Falcone's Hedge Funding Days Are OverSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/09/2013 10:56 -0400
Moments ago, embattled hedge fund manager Phil Faclone, whose Harbinger Capital seven years ago was more profitable than Federal Reserve Capital Onshore Fund LP, and where every analyst and trader wanted to work, at least until they decided to work for Paulson 3 years later (oops), just settled with the SEC for the plethora of alleged financial wrongdoing that has troubled him in the past four years, and primarily for misuse of client funds such as using client cash to pay his own taxes, in a move that effectively ends his career in not only the hedge fund worlds, but in finance as well. It is unclear if Falcone's prenup-free marriage is also over as a result: we expect a statement from Lisa's PR group shortly.

Paulson Gold Fund Down 27% In AprilSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 05/07/2013 07:34 -0400
Curious who the biggest casualty of last month's forced precious metal take down is? It may very well be John Paulson, who has systematically been blown out of all his concentrated positions in the past few years, and who, according to Bloomberg, just lost a record 27% in one month in his gold fund, and down 47% so far in 2013. If anything, it may explain the ongoing collapse in GLD holdings as he (among others) is forced to continue liquidating. The good news is that one levered players such as Paulson are finally blown out, there is hope that only far more rational, "non-weak handed" players remain at the table.

Perth Mint Demand Highest Since Lehman Brothers, Refines Coins, Bars During WeekendSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/30/2013 08:36 -0400
Australia's Perth Mint, the largest refinery in Australia and one of the largest in the world, said that demand has jumped to the highest level since the Lehman crisis in 2008. Demand has been robust due to currency devaluation concerns and then the 15% price fall led to a massive surge in demand as store of wealth buyers leapt at the chance to acquire physical bullion at much cheaper prices. This led to the Perth Mint which refines nearly all of the nation's bullion, having to stay open over the weekend to meet orders. There's been strong interest, including from the U.S., with buyers confident that the metal will rebound from the decline, Ron Currie, sales and marketing director, told Bloomberg in a phone interview from Perth. "We haven't seen levels like this since the 2008 global financial crisis," Currie said yesterday. "Compared to March sales, April sales have doubled or tripled," he said. "We worked all weekend to keep the factory running to make more stock and that was only to fill orders," Currie said from the facility founded in 1899. "We're being inundated with people buying products."

John Paulson Loses Over $300 Million On Friday's Gold TumbleSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/13/2013 18:11 -0400
There were many casualties following Friday's 4% gold rout, but none were hurt more than one-time hedge fund idol John Paulson, who according to estimates, lost more than $300 million of his own money in one day. Per Bloomberg: "Paulson has roughly $9.5 billion invested across his hedge funds, of which about 85 percent is invested in gold share classes. Gold dropped 4.1 percent today, shaving about $328 million from his net worth on this bet alone." This is merely the latest insult to what has otherwise been a 3 year-long injury for Paulson and his few remaining investors, whose very inappropriately named Advantage Plus is among the bottom 10 hedge funds for the third year in a row. Yet despite being a one-hit wonder thanks to one lucrative idea (long ABX CDS) generated by one of his former employees (Pelegrini), Paulson still has been lucky enough to somehow amass a $10 billion personal fortune which can have a $300 million downswing in one day, even if it is in an asset class which eventually will go only one way - up. Unless, of course, like so many other fly by night billionaires, Paulson too hasn't somehow managed to lever up all his equity into numerous other downstream ventures, and where a $300 million blow up leads to margin calls and other terminal liquidity outcomes.

Yet as the Japanese monetary authorities declare a holy war against deflation, it would only be fair to draw attention to the colossal opportunity being presented as the antidote to monetary intemperance, namely gold and gold miners. There is a clear mismatch between the prices of gold and silver mining shares and spot prices of gold and silver. But as to why the miners are trading so poorly relative to the physical is unclear to us.
