A band that makes parents go the other direction
Teens love One Direction.
Beküldő: Fieldhockey90315 2014. december 31.
A gay, horrible-sounding band straight from the U.K., and the worst thing to come out of Great Britain yet. The fangirls of this band are usually also obsessed with Five Seconds of Summer, a gay Australian band, as they can`t seem to see the difference between them. These fangirls often have strange fantasies of them and aforesaid bands in fanfictions, and can`t stop thinking of them. Often annoy people who live in the real world and are the absolute definition of annoying for guys who wish they had the power to destroy those bands and their fangirls with slow, painful deaths.
Le Random Fangirl: "Umg I luv one direction and five seconds of summer they so hawt"
Me: "I`m about to pimp-slap you. Get real for god's sake."

one direction suck big time
Beküldő: AmazingLlamaisnotonfire 2015. augusztus 2.
One Direction (1D) is a group of "men" that have questionable sexual orientation. The fanbase of 1D consists of rabid females that males question their intelligence. The infection called "One Direction Infection" is as of now incurable, but any person who has it should be promptly put into solitary confinement until signs of a normal human-being to be regained. 1D, like 5 Seconds of Summer, sells over priced merchandise to the little school girls that "love" them.
Guy: "One Direction! More like One More Goddamn Boyband Fag Group!"
Girl: "I'll beat the living shit out of you for saying those words!"
Guy: "You can't be cured you little cunt!"

One direction are a english boy band created in the 10th series of X-factor. Yes, they are hot, and yes, they have semi-decent singing voices. But it's the fans that make them so easy to hate. They are not 'the best band ever'.. they are barely even a band. They are just puppets to be honest, and i fail to understand why they are so famous.
A: Have you heard of one direction? I loveee harry omg they are the best band ever better then the beatles omg

Did you ever hear that under eye creases show an allergic (prone to allergies that is) person?
I have heard this also. I think they are called dennie's lines. My son has them and does have allergies (we just can't figure them out). I'm curious to know if they are often specific to a particular allergy or not.
I have heard of these it is a type of eczema (atopic dermatitis). My son had eczema and his dr said that it is a sure sign that you will have some kind of allergy. Google is your best friend!
the eye creases I mean are not eczema, just a crease or two.
The creases are not eczema but they can be a marker for allergies and are an indicator of atopic dermatitis - eczema.
My son has significant creases under his eye and has had them since always but does not have eczema at this point but he's also never had wheat or dairy which are my triggers.

TripAdvisor Reviews City Crash Pad Serviced Apartments Leeds
Travel Blogs from Leeds
... butterflies, bees and birds were plentiful and varied. Some of the butterflies insisted on landing on the path in front of us so we had to try to avoid standing on them; they must have had a death wish! One small tortoiseshell butterfly led us along the path for a good while, seeming to land for us to catch up before leading us on again.
One of the plans for the day was to treat ourselves to fish and chips on the sea front, so on our return ...
Yorkshire water to Yorkshire tea
... park near the bridge. The clouds had rolled over by this time but the walk was at a very pleasant temperature. The walk was great with the main sound being the river as it fell over rocks and waterfalls.
We followed the river Wharfe and the Yorkshire Dales Way into Grassington and then on to Green Wood about a mile up river. We then cut onto the road and followed this back into Grassington and ...
The big trip
... on South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. - not the most original trip but perfect for what we want. Cheap bit of fun to help stick to a tight budget. Lots of culture, followed by good sun and easy living. On the 30th August the count down stops. We head out to Bangkok with a stop over in Dubai. I'll be using this blog to keep in touch, put up pictures and keep track of all the experiences...... Well that's the plan anyway. Wish us luck. I'll be in touch ...
Day 3
... namely Brighton Pier and the White Cliffs of Dover (the latter of which we probably won't even be able to see until the morning), we decide to zig-zag north, taking in all the Neolithic stuff, and then make a break for the God's Own County. Stu sets the optimistic target of Thirsk for the evening. I think that might be a bit far, but we shall see.
OK, so first target is the Osmington White Horse. No, we've not heard of it either, but Osmington is just 20 miles ...
Liam and Leeds
... over and during the Norman conquest it sustained large damage which is still present. It has large walls encasing the city center and vehicles have limited use inside the walls. I thanked the driver, checked in and laid all my wet clothes out to dry before having an early night.
Goal: Partake in conversation with Liams friends
Status: Small talk doable, anything more I didn't have the nerdiness to uphold

Game is fun enough, but they really need to get their act together technically. Servers were also slammed when I logged in earlier, had queues to get in, etc. They had better put more resources online before the FEs start back up next weekend, or they are going to lose a lot of new F2P players that are turned off by this...
It's happening because they increased the population caps to keep the new players from being shut out by login queues. They're working on stability fixes and further increases. It's a balancing act; there were queues this afternoon, despite the fact the game currently has a higher player cap than it's ever had in its history.
There were also plenty of people in the office working today on those fixes. If this was easy everybody'd be doing it.

I have always used shimano chains but my new Cannondale came with a Sram. I have already broken this chain twice. I have never before broke a chain in all these years. Yes my shimano's were 7 speed and are fatter and heavier than the 9 speed sram but do I really need to baby these chains or is it I had a bad one?
I just bought a 9 speed shimano so we'll see, but I was just curious if sram chains suck?

Bruce Jessen
John Bruce Jessen (born July 28, 1949)[1] is a psychologist, Air Force retiree, and former Mormon bishop who, with James Elmer Mitchell, created a controversial interrogation program to be used on CIA detainees. The United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence classified some techniques used in the program as torture, as reported in its report on CIA torture.[2] In that report, he was mentioned under the pseudonym "Hammond Dunbar". His company, Mitchell Jessen and Associates earned US$81 million for its work.[3]
He finished a PhD in Divinity from Utah State University. A United States Air Force retiree, Jessen and James Mitchell were hired in 2002 by the Central Intelligence Agency to design an enhanced interrogation techniques program.[4][5] The objectives of the program were not just to obtain intelligence, but to also break down detainees in order to get them to be compliant and submissive to authority.[6]
In 2005, Jessen and Mitchell formed a company called Mitchell Jessen and Associates, with offices in Spokane and Virginia.[7]
On October 15, 2012, Jessen was sustained as bishop of the Spokane 6th Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[8] He resigned as bishop one week later.[9]
Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture[edit]
On December 9, 2014 the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released a report confirming the use of torture and SERE tactics in interrogations.[10] The contractors that developed the "enhanced interrogation techniques" received US$81 million for their services, out of an original contract worth more than US$180 million. NBC News identified the contractors, who were referred to in the report via pseudonyms, as Mitchell, Jessen & Associates from Spokane, Washington, which was run by two psychologists, John "Bruce" Jessen and James Mitchell. The report states that the contractor "developed the list of enhanced interrogation techniques and personally conducted interrogations of some of the CIA's most significant detainees using those techniques. The contractors also evaluated whether the detainees' psychological state allowed for continued use of the techniques, even for some detainees they themselves were interrogating or had interrogated." Mitchell, Jessen & Associates developed a "menu" of 20 enhanced techniques including waterboarding, sleep deprivation and stress positions. The CIA acting general counsel, described in his book Company Man, that the enhanced techniques were "sadistic and terrifying."[11]

NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Microdesk, a leading provider of business and technology consulting services to help firms successfully plan, design, build and operate land and buildings, today unveiled its annual list of the top five architecture, engineering and construction industry predictions for 2013 at Autodesk University. Following a year in which the U.S. saw its long-neglected infrastructure system come to the forefront of national attention with natural disasters such as Hurricane Isaac and Superstorm Sandy, Microdesk predicts that in 2013 there will be a strong focus on implementing sustainable, forward-thinking solutions to rebuild the nation's crumbling roads and bridges.
The top five trends Microdesk predicts that AECO companies should prepare for in the New Year include:
- Rebuilding America: Post-Sandy, technology provides tangible solutions for improvement.
From levee breaches in New Orleans to the flooding of mass transit systems in New York City, it is clear U.S. infrastructure is weak. Rather than putting a band-aid over the problem, the AECO industry must find a new approach to rebuilding that focuses on innovation and technology, and on being proactive not reactive. The tools are available, and in 2013 more firms will turn to visualization and collaborative design processes to strengthen the nation's vital infrastructure systems.
- Regulatory Compliance: Governments envisioning broader uses of BIM will prompt further adoption in the AECO industry.
Despite widespread availability of technology solutions, many firms still rely on old-fashioned design and building processes. To repair this broken, siloed workflow, in 2013 the industry will see greater requirements for BIM as more government agencies develop BIM-based workflows that add efficiencies to design review and regulatory compliance. This influence will trickle down to the rest of the industry and inspire broader adoption at every level.
- The "I" in BIM:
Big Data has been a hot topic in technology for several years, but in 2013, its influence will further infiltrate the AECO industry. BIM will make its way into field operation through purpose-built applications that allow designers and contractors to make informed decisions instantly and manage building data with the end uses of that information in mind. This will allow them to go beyond traditional project delivery by providing accurate, interconnected models that enable more efficient facility operations and maintenance.
- Mobile and the AECO Industry: The use of mobile devices in design, construction and facilities management will become commonplace in 2013.
In 2013, the use of mobile will become an industry standard – so much so that Microdesk believes this will be the last year mobile takes a spot in its predictions. Recent acquisitions by AEC software companies of social and mobile sharing technologies, including Socialcam and Qontext, further point toward this trend. In fact, the use of next-generation technologies will become "table stakes" in 2013 for any firm looking to enable collaboration, design and communication in the field.
- Collaborative Design in the Cloud: A focus on cloud technologies will facilitate improved workflows.
In 2013, the AECO industry will continue to leverage the cloud to make business more flexible and collaborative. Further adoption of cloud technologies that better enable the sharing and integration of data in the design and construction process will result in more efficient buildings, more streamlined construction processes and less waste.
"With several new advances in technology and processes on the horizon, the AECO industry is in a unique position to truly impact how we approach rebuilding our nation's infrastructure," said Michael DeLacey, president of Microdesk. "By continuing to leverage the technologies available - and embracing new technologies - the industry will set new precedents for what's possible in the design and building of roads, bridges, buildings and America's mass transit systems in 2013."
Microdesk's consulting team includes architects, engineers, surveyors, GIS analysts, facility and asset managers, IT experts and software developers. They advise some of the nation's largest architecture, engineering and construction companies, and owners, enabling them to gather valuable insight into how technological innovation has helped AECO firms both succeed in an increasingly competitive market and lay the foundation towards building a stronger infrastructure system in America.
Microdesk is a design technology consultancy that combines the leading software tools from Autodesk, Oracle, Google, Adobe and ESRI, with the latest methods, including Building Information Modeling and Virtual Design & Construction, to provide business and technology consulting services to help firms successfully plan, design, build and operate land and buildings. Microdesk is a member of the Autodesk and ESRI Developer Networks, a leading Autodesk and Oracle Primavera partner, and operates Autodesk and Google Authorized Training Centers. Microdesk has 12 offices nationwide, located in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Chicago and Washington, DC.

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it.

WebRTC enabled this contact center provider to eliminate antiquated telephony and desktop phone infrastructure with a pure web-based solution, allowing them to expand beyond brick-and-mortar confines to a home-based agent model. It also ensured scalability and better service for customers, including MUY! Companies, one of the country's largest franchise restaurant companies with 232 Pizza Hut locations. This is one example of WebRTC adoption today, but the potential is limitless when powered by IoT.

Every cloud vendor is trying to make it very difficult to move out once a customer has chosen their cloud. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Naveen Nimmu, CEO of Clouber, Inc., will advocate that making the inter-cloud migration as simple as changing airlines would help the entire industry to quickly adopt the cloud without worrying about any lock-in fears. In fact by having standard APIs for IaaS would help PaaS expl...

Organizations already struggle with the simple collection of data resulting from the proliferation of IoT, lacking the right infrastructure to manage it. They can't only rely on the cloud to collect and utilize this data because many applications still require dedicated infrastructure for security, redundancy, performance, etc. In his session at 17th Cloud Expo, Emil Sayegh, CEO of Codero Hosting, will discuss how in order to resolve the inherent issues, companies need to combine dedicated and cloud solutions through hybrid hosting – a sustainable solution for the data required to manage I...

WebRTC is about the data channel as much as about video and audio conferencing. However, basically all commercial WebRTC applications have been built with a focus on audio and video. The handling of "data" has been limited to text chat and file download – all other data sharing seems to end with screensharing. What is holding back a more intensive use of peer-to-peer data? In her session at @ThingsExpo, Dr Silvia Pfeiffer, WebRTC Applications Team Lead at National ICT Australia, will look at different existing uses of peer-to-peer data sharing and how it can become useful in a live session to...

Eagle Rock provides happiness for children, checkbooks
Published: Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 10:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 10:41 p.m.
They sit silently now, just waiting for the Christmas magic to come. Table after table after table crammed full of lightly loved dolls, cars, trucks, action figures, games, stuffed animals and other toys fill the gym and an adjoining classroom at Coosa Valley Baptist Church on Alabama Highway 77 in Rainbow City.
Beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday, the Eagle Rock Christmas Toy Bonanza will allow parents to pick from the thousands of toys available to make their children happy on Christmas Day and their pocketbooks perhaps even happier.
A box of toys that can be filled to overflowing can be purchased for $5. And there is no limit to the boxes of toys that can be purchased.
The sale will last until 2 p.m.
This is the second year Eagle Rock Ranch, through donations to its two thrift stores, has had the toy sale at Christmas. Belinda Hiti, a house mother at the ranch, said it is a way to promote the ranch and raise funds, but more importantly it helps the community by allowing some children to have Christmas who otherwise might not.
Eagle Rock is a group home for at-risk boys who would have problems with a traditional foster home or ranch.
Hiti said toys at the sale are high-quality, lightly loved toys.
The stores began saving toys donated to them in January. Volunteers have gone through them, discarding those that are damaged or not in good enough condition to include in the sale.
Howard Kohser, a volunteer along with his wife Gail and other members of Faith Lutheran Church in Clay, are helping with the sale. The volunteers have spent the week organizing the toys for Saturdays sale.
Kohser estimated they have about twice as many toys as last year. Most would be suitable for children 12 and younger, but he said there are some toys for teenagers.
Every boy and girl theres something in here for them, he said.
Small toys were packaged into plastic bags, and there is a small plastic swimming pool full of toys for infants.
Kohser said there probably are a thousand stuffed animals that remain to be unpacked and displayed.
A few of the toys are brand new, in boxes, and Kohser said most of the toys available will pass the grandparent test he would be willing to give them to his grandchildren or great-grandchildren.
He said parents who attended last years sale said they would not have been able to have Christmas for their children without it.
Volunteers were busy dressing dolls Thursday afternoon, some with clothes that were made from scraps of cloth.
Sharon Towery of Faith Lutheran was working on dolls Thursday. She said volunteers had gone through 450 rubber bands putting hair up on dolls to make them look nicer.
I think to some of the kids its going to mean Christmas, its going to make their Christmas, Towery said.
These are nice dolls, she said, adding that children would not feel second rate to receive them.
Towery said she is participating to make Christmas for children who otherwise might not have nice presents.
Kohser looked at a box of Spiderman toys and predicted they would be among the first things to go, since they were popular last year.
An assortment of games was stacked against the wall. Several tables were full of books, from works for infants to Harry Potter.
Last year, the event raised $800 for the ranch. Kohser said some toys were given away.
Gail Kohser said Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will match the money raised.

Hotel Reviews
"Beat Expectations"
This hotel really took care of us. We arrived early (6AM) on an overnight bus from Phnom Penh. It was my whole family (2 adults, 3 kids) so we booked 2 rooms. They allowed us to check in early (wonderful). They were helpful with travel and other arrangements. The rooms were great. Housekeeping gave us some extra bottled water. The gym was very good. The restaurant was a little crowded and some of the guests were a little abrupt/aggressive but I don't think the hotel can do much about that. It is a melting pot of diverse cultures, and some of them are a bit overwhelming. The pool was nice and relaxing after long hot days seeing the ruins. I would definitely recommend and I thought this was a great value. I would definitely stayMore ⇓
"Amazing pool - excellent rooms"
One of the best and more relaxing pools i have ever been. After we explored the angkor wat temple we relaxed by the pool and have a few cocktails. The night club of the hotel was an alternative choice of pub street. The breakfast can be rated with 10 out of 10.
"Lovely facilities"
Originally offered Rm 104 on ground floor by the pool. Asked to move upstairs as there was little privacy on ground floor with the sunbathers sitting outside the patio doors.
Went to Rm 306 which was lovely. Nice balcony to sit on overlooking the beautiful swimming and sunbathing area with its waterfalls and salt water pool. Yes it is a bit Las Vegas but we loved it. Had a nice swim in the morning - plenty of towels available and a bar service.
Room had all the usual facilities including a nice walk in shower as well as a bath. Electrical sockets included UK, European and USA fittings. Only slight drawback - the room was quite a long way from the lift but good exercise!
Nice restaurant near to the pool. Service
"Nice hotel"
We enjoyed a relaxing time in this hotel .The pool is lovely abit like a Las Vegas hotel and the staff are very helpful.Our room was very quiet even though it was on a road we heard nothing.The wifi is intermittent which was a pain but apart from that it was a great stay here.
"Overwhelmed by the upgrade and a big thankyou to all the st
We a group of 4 booked 2 rooms at the 18th march staying for two days were extremely surprised to get 2 linked president suites thanks to lady Kimsour.we wish her and her family the very best of everything.i love the balconies which are spacious compared to many other hotels.breakfast has quite a variety.lobby is huge compared to others and i like its openess atmosphere.pest control good,at least for me it was.i didnt get a mosquito bite throughout my 2 night stay.location is well spot can do a walk to Pub St in about 10 to 15 minutes.things need some improvement will be the wifi.signal was at times not too stable.all in all,i love what Sokha gave us and we enjoyed every moment here .

Netflix more popular than iPad 3: Google Zeitgeist 2012 results
The 2012 Google Zeitgeist list has been published, once again showing the most searched for people, events and objects in the UK for the past year.
Two major sporting events topped the list, although the Olympics was, unexpectedly, pipped to the post by Euro 2012 - the European football tournament held in Poland and Ukraine. Sporting heroes failed to make the top ten overall, but Andy Murray was the most popular in his category, having won Olympic gold, been beaten in the Wimbledon final, and finally winning his first Grand Slam tennis title at the US Open.
The late Whitney Houston was the most searched-for person this year, while Bing's most popular celeb of 2012, Tulisa, was beaten into the top ten by her X-Factor co-judge, Take That member Gary Barlow.
However, in tech terms, the most interesting result is that Netflix - ranked sixth - was the subject of more searches than Apple's iPad 3. Of course, the iPad 3 only had about six months in the spotlight, but we're sure the movie streaming service will be thrilled.
Oh, and Gangnam Style reached the top ten, naturally, and was the number one searched-for song as well as hitting number one in the singles chart.
Interestingly, the top trending TV show was kids' programme Mike the Knight, which beat Game of Thrones, Homeland, The Only Way is Essex, the lot. We're quite fond of that fact.
The top ten Trending Searches 2012:
1. Euro 2012
2. Olympic tickets
3. Whitney Houston
4. Kate Middleton
5. April Jones
6. Netflix
7. Natwest online
8. iPad 3
9. Gary Barlow
10. Gangnam Style

Samsung Display sets up patent firm to milk exclusive screen tech
Samsung's display division has quietly set up a patent company in the US, Intellectual Keystone Technology (IKT), already responsible for buying up former Seiko Epson patents believed to be around LCD and OLED tech. IKT is entirely owned by Samsung Display, and was described by a company spokesperson to The Korea Times as an attempt to "strengthen" its intellectual property base. It cost around $25m to launch the Washington D.C. based company, Samsung Display confirmed.

An interview with Davis Guggenheim, director of "He Named Me Malala."
Is there anyone better than John Malkovich at barely containing his temper? He gravitates toward characters who do not suffer fools lightly, and that would include the Great Buck Howard, who once was Johnny Carson's favorite guest. Buck was dropped from Johnny's guest list and now tours the provinces, taking his magic act from small stages to smaller ones, but he still has his dignity.
"I love this town!" he shouts with outstretched arms in Akron, and Akron still loves him. He is famous for his "signature effect," in which his evening's fee is given to an audience member, and he uses his psychic powers to find it. He has never failed, and no one has ever discovered how he does it. Buck was named "The Great" by Carson and still maintains a facade of Greatness, even in front of Troy (Colin Hanks, Tom's son), his newly hired road manager. Malkovich invests him with self-importance and yet slyly suggests it's not all an act; you believe at some level Buck really does love that town, and also when he says, as he always does, "I love you people!"
"The Great Buck Howard" is told from Troy's point of view. His father (Tom Hanks) fervently wants him to enter law school, but he wants to test show biz, and this is his first contact with any degree of fame. He never penetrates the Great Buck Howard's facade (and never do we), but he sure does learn a lot about show biz, some of it intimately from Valerie (Emily Blunt), a new PR person hired for Buck's spectacular new illusion in Cincinnati. Troy learns to carry bags, open doors, deal with local reps and supply mineral water, not distilled ("I'm not an iron," Buck crisply tells Troy's eventual replacement).
We see Buck as Troy does, as an impenetrable mystery. Buck is far from forgotten (he guests on shows hosted by Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, Jon Stewart and Martha Stewart, all playing themselves). He can still fill a room, even if it's a smaller room. His manager, Gil (Ricky Jay, who always seems to know the inside odds), even gets him a Las Vegas booking. What happens there, and how it happens, is perceptive about show biz and even more perceptive about Buck and his "signature effect."
Well, how does he find the person in the room holding the money -- every time? Rumors are common that he uses a hidden spotter, whispering into a mike hidden in his ear. When Troy tells him this, Buck invites two doctors onstage to peer into his ears, then turns his back to the room and covers his head with a black cloth. Does he still find the money?
If he does, it can't because of psychic powers, can it? I firmly believe such illusions are never the result of psychic powers, but I am fascinated by them, anyway. The wisdom of this film, directed and written by Sean McGinly, is to never say. Troy practically lives with the man and doesn't have a clue. He's asked if Buck is gay, and he replies truthfully, "I don't know. I've never seen him with anybody." Colin Hanks is affecting as a man young enough and naive enough to be fascinated by whatever it is Buck represents. Emily Blunt is sweetly kind to him. No one else could have played Buck better than Malkovich. I love this guy.
I've read one review of this film that complains we never meet the real Buck Howard. Of course we don't. There may be no real Buck Howard. But the film is funny and perceptive in the way it shows the humiliations for a man with Buck's tender vanity: The ladies singing onstage. The many who have no idea who he is. Being bumped off the news by Jerry Springer. Being bumped off Jay Leno for Tom Arnold. Distilled water.
Incidentally: McGinly's screenplay is based on his observations as road manager for the Amazing Kreskin, to whom the film is dedicated.

When Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Michael Capuano insisted this had been the case "from day one," the Treasury Secretary reminded him that prior to 2008 there was no explicit government backstop for Fannie and Freddie. Indeed, many denied there was even an implicit backstop. Mr. Capuano shot back, incredulously: "Who denied that?"
As it turns out, one of the most prominent denials came from another Democratic member of the Massachusetts congressional delegation who also sat on the financial services panel. Read More »
Some Fannie and Freddie shareholders said they viewed Monday's court decision involving AIG as generally encouraging given what they see as the government's less defensible approach with the mortgage-finance giants than with AIG. Read More »
The U.S. government launched a new line of attack on Friday in its legal battle with investors in the mortgage giants. It asked the U.S. Court of Federal Claims to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Fairholme Funds on the grounds that the latter purchased its shares after the government had arranged in 2012 to sweep essentially all of Fannie's and Freddie's profits.

Imagine if someone offered you these choices: (a) receive income today with the risk of having to pay it back in the future or (b) give up that income now in exchange for not having to pay that amount later.
The second option is clearly inferior, surrendering the time value of the income. Yet that is the approach Walter Isaac and Bob Kerrey propose in a recent paper on the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conservatorship. Read More »
A staff report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York issued Tuesday pointedly disputes both points. In it, researchers for the New York Fed wrote: "Should these figures be interpreted to mean that the Treasury, and therefore taxpayers, have been 'repaid' by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and that the two firms should now pay dividends to their regular shareholders again? The answer is no." Read More »
Mr. Parrott says this generated an after-tax profit of $8 billion for Fannie in 2013 and $9 billion in 2014; at Freddie it was $3 billion for 2013 and $4 billion in 2014. As Mr. Parrott admits, those numbers likely overstate core profits because he hasn't taken out administrative costs and other expenses. Read More »
Lawsuits against banks for mortgage missteps are a dime a dozen, but ones that actually go to trial are a rare bird.
It took nearly four years, but this morning Nomura Holdings Inc. and the regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will face off in a trial that could either reveal the wisdom or the miscalculation of more than a dozen other banks that settled related cases over the last couple years. Read More »
So much for the pipe dream of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac being recapitalized and released from government control. Read More »
Although most of the opinion's 20-pages are devoted to showing why the D.C. decision bars Continental Western from litigating the Iowa case, the key passage in Tuesday's decision is contained in a footnote on the penultimate page. That's where Judge Pratt declares that he agrees with the legal reasoning of the D.C. court and says he would have ruled the same way:
"The Court notes that even if it were to reach the merits of Continental Western's claims, including the allegedly new claims, it would agree with the well-reasoned opinion of the very able Judge Lamberth in Perry Capital that the case must be dismissed," Judge Pratt wrote. Read More »

Does Favre have a future in New York?
Now that we've put that other national story behind us yesterday, it's time to turn our attention to the other big national story before us: Will Brett Favre retire?
Steve Serby of the New York Post says the first order of business for Rex Ryan, the new coach of the New York Jets, is to cut Favre loose.
Gary Myers of the New York Daily News is of a similar mind. He says "for much of the season, the Jets were getting Joe Montana with the Chiefs, but ended with Namath on the Rams."
Finally, Bob Glauber of Newsday says that if Ryan thinks Favre is the answer, "he's nuts."

The best place to find a list of all thirty stocks included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is the "Historical Components List" published on the official DJIA website. This fascinating list, which shows every change in the index since its creation in 1884, is updated every time as stock is added or deleted.
The DJIA, considered by many to be the gold standard of market indicators, is comprised of some of the largest and most well-known companies in the United States. Due to the diversity of stocks in the index, many economists consider the DJIA to be a strong indicator of the overall strength of the U.S. economy, not just the investments market.
Unlike the market-weighted S&P 500 index, probably the second-most watched indicator, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is a price-weighted index. Thus, the DJIA is calculated theoretically by totaling the prices of one share of each component stock and dividing by thirty. However, the current divisor now equals a fraction of 1% due to years of adjustments for stock splits, mergers and the like. The price-weighted method arguably gives a more accurate representation of the movement of the overall market because it is not influenced by the number of shares each company has outstanding.

Nigeria's economy faces danger as inequality rises
Despite the growth in the Nigerian economy which is being driven by the non-oil sectors, inequality has continued to rise, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, co-ordinating minister for the economy and minister of finance, said on Monday, adding that if the worrying trend was not reversed, it would portend danger.
According to Okonjo-Iweala, the two main challenges facing the economy are inadequate job creation and rising inequality, as only ten percent of the population enjoy the benefit of economic growth.
"The other aspect that is worrying, is that growth in Nigeria is unequal. Inequality is high and rising. Our GDP coefficient has gone from about 0.38 to where we are today, about 0.48. There is lack of inclusion. We are growing, but the small percent of the population is capturing most of this growth. In Nigeria, it is clear that the top 10 percent of the population is capturing most of the growth there is and the people at the bottom are being left behind."
She added: "We have to create jobs, not just create wealth. If we don't put our minds to this problem, the whole economy may be in danger. Inequality is highly concentrated in certain regions of the economy. And therefore we also need to pay attention to what we do to take care of regional disparity."
She said GDP rebasing, which is currently in progress, could increase gross domestic product (GDP) substantially, but its impact on growth rates was yet uncertain.
The National Bureau of Statistics is seeking to change the calculations of Nigeria's GDP, using a new base year of 2010 to give a better indication of the size and composition of its economy. Nigeria has not done so since 1990, suggesting that the previous GDP framework underestimated economic activity. The rebasing is expected to increase the estimated size of the Nigerian economy by 40 percent, which would boost the economy from about $273 billion to about $382 billion.
Okonjo-Iweala, speaking at a breakfast dialogue with the private sector in Lagos, organised by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), said: "We are growing, but not creating enough jobs. That is a very big challenge. The rate of growth that we have is good, but could be better. We need to grow faster. I think it needs to grow at least 9 to 10 percent to drive job growth the way we want."
She observed that the quality of growth was not as good as desired and stressed the need for better policies and structural reforms to drive inclusive growth.
She said GDP growth is expected at 6.75 percent in 2013, up from 6.61 percent in 2012, adding that it grew in the first quarter (Q1), Q2 and Q3 of 2013 at 6.56 percent, 6.18 percent and 6.81 percent respectively.
She stated that 1.6 million jobs have been created in the past 12 months in all sectors of the economy, largely driven by the private sector. "But this is less than what we should be doing. We should be creating about 2 million jobs in a year because we have a stock of unemployed people that has to be cleared."
She said some of the government schemes like YouWIN, have been highly successful. "We have created 26,000 jobs so far. We are aiming for 80,000 at the minimum."
Commenting on the 2014 budget, the minister said the government would direct the budget to those sectors that will give the most growth in the economy. "And that means that we will tighten but at the same time we will prioritise. So all the infrastructure sectors are top priority for the president and the budget will go towards supporting those sectors.
" We are already channeling a lot of resources into power transmission. We will need $1.9 billion, emergency plan for transmission, and we have raised $1.5 billion already."
"We need to make the power sector work now that it has taken over by the private sector. We need to work with them. The ports, the rail, roads, communication and technology, the structural reforms in each sector have to continue," Okonjo-Iweala said.
She said the structural bottlenecks in the way of the private sector would be addressed so that the economy can expand and create more jobs, adding that there is need to continue to enact supportive policies for sectoral growth.
She said in 2014, government would continue the drive to remove critical bottlenecks, particularly infrastructure bottleneck, improve the business climate, fight corruption, strengthen institutions and put in place policies to increase social safety nets. "We need to redistribute the wealth being created to those at the bottom of the pyramid."
"Agriculture is the biggest safety net the world over. It is three times more important in solving poverty problem than any other sector. In 2014, we expect to continue a very strong drive on agriculture, with supportive policies."
She stated that government would focus reducing borrowing and keeping the economy stable in 2014, which she described as a very challenging one in terms of the elections and possible impact on the economy.
The minister said improved revenue collection is a top priority for government, adding that "75 percent of registered businesses do not pay taxes". "We are not increasing taxes, but we are going to improve collection of taxes."

Essar Global Fund Limited is in talks with two Chinese oil & gas majors for the sale of its Stanlow Refinery and is looking at raising over $3.5 billion in the deal, Economic Times reported citing sources. The deal could be in several phases and will require restructuring of Essar Energy plc. First step is already underway with Essar Energy plc and Essar Oil (UK) Limited heading for a de-listing. Essar Energy plc is expected to sell its Stanlow Refinery to Essar Oil (UK) Limited for $1 billion; post the de-listing process is complete. The restructured Essar Oil (UK) Limited with Stanlow Refinery unit under it is expected to sell 49% stake in the company to the interested buyer.
Essar Global Fund Limited (Essar Group) is planning to sell asset. Sources close to the matter stated that Essar Group is planning to divest Essar Oil (UK) Limited (Stanlow Refinery) and seeking to raise $500 million-$600 million. According to the news report Essar Group declined to comment. Two of the sources said that a formal sale process could be launched related to the delisting of Essar Energy plc from the London Stock Exchange (LSE). The report also mentioned that Essar Energy shares have ceased trading on the LSE, and the formalities of making the company a privately held company wholly owned by Essar Group are set to be completed by July 2014. According to the report, in 2012, Barclays PLC (LSE:BARC) took control of existing crude and refined oil assets at the plant, so it is unclear whether any purchase of the plant would include those assets, which could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It added that Barclays was not available for comment.
Essar Energy plc announced the resignation of Mr. Sattar Hajee Abdoula, Mr. Philip Aiken AM, Mr. Subhas C Lallah, Mr. Steve Lucas, Mr. Simon Murray CBE, Mr. Prashant Ruia and Mr. Ravi Ruia as Directors of the company. Essar Energy also announced the appointment Mr. Yogendra (Robin) Appadoo as a director of the company with immediate effect. Chief Executive Mr. Sushil Maroo continues as a director of the Company.
