The RWP on UBS's VR indicates that Fitch is likely to upgrade UBS's VR by one notch in the short term. In Fitch's view, while UBS has the relevant track record, risk controls and governance framework to run down sizeable legacy portfolios, the restructuring plan still exposes the bank to considerable execution risks. Fitch expects to resolve the RWP once the restructuring is fully underway and details such as RWA exit costs and the underlying profitability of its remaining IB business can be more comprehensively assessed. Fitch aims to resolve the RWP following the release of UBS's Q412 results.
Once fully implemented, Fitch expects UBS's revised IB to strategy to lead to better quality and less volatile earnings, an improved risk profile and more balanced funding position.
UBS's solid capitalisation is already a key driver of its VR. A sharp reduction in Basel III RWA (around 25% in the year to end-Q312) and other capital strengthening measures lifted UBS's "fully-loaded" Basel III common equity Tier 1 ratio to 9.3% at end-Q312 (from 6.2% at end-Q311) and the bank targets a fully-loaded CET1 ratio of 11.5% at end-2013 and 13.0% at end-2014 which compares well with all peers.
As a result of exiting many balance sheet-intensive IB businesses, notably in fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC), UBS's funded balance sheet will fall by around 30% to CHF600bn by end-2015, improving the bank's leverage ratio and reducing funding needs (and funding costs).
UBS's VR is also supported by positive trends in its operating performance in 9M12.
Adjusted for a CHF3.1bn impairment on goodwill in IB, a CHF863m loss on own credit and minor restructuring charges, UBS reported a pre-tax profit of CHF1.4bn in Q312 with improving or stable underlying profitability in all business divisions.
Both Wealth Management (WM) and Wealth Management Americas (WMA) reported improved pre-tax profits, benefiting from continued sound net new money (NNM) inflows and moderately higher client activity. However, performance indicators for both WM (gross margin) and WMA (pre-tax profit margin) are being negatively affected by the still difficult market and investment environment. In Fitch's view, UBS has potential to improve these indicators once the operating environment improves.
NNM flows in Global Asset Management (GAM) were marginally negative in Q312 but the division's pre-tax profitability benefited from higher performance fees and broadly stable management fees. UBS's Swiss business (Retail & Corporate) continued to perform well with new business volumes picking up and loan impairment charges staying low despite signs of an overheated Swiss real estate market.
IB returned to moderate profitability in Q312 (CHF178m) after a loss in Q212 (CHF178m, negatively affected by processing issues with the Facebook IPO). All IB divisions reported improved (advisory, equities) or stable (FICC) revenue. IB's operating expense base (excluding the goodwill impairment charge) also increased, largely reflecting higher accruals for variable compensation and higher litigation and regulatory charges.
While Fitch expects underlying profitability in Q412 to remain solid in all of UBS's business lines, including its restructured IB, management have given guidance to expect a net loss for Q412 due to a CHF500m restructuring charge (largely in IB), IB revenue loss and a further tightening of UBS's own credit spread.
The Stable Outlook on UBS's Long-term IDR reflects Fitch's view that sovereign support for UBS will continue to be available in the medium term.
UBS's IDRs, Support Rating, SRF and senior debt ratings are sensitive to a change in Fitch's assumptions around the availability of sovereign support for the bank. An upgrade of UBS's IDRs is unlikely given Fitch's expectation of diminishing sovereign support for large, globally operating banks.
Switzerland has made significant progress in implementing specific legislation for the country's two largest banks (UBS and Credit Suisse AG ), which should ultimately facilitate pre-insolvency bank resolution and will eventually lead to a reduction in UBS's SRF. However, this is a gradual and lengthy process and Fitch will take corresponding rating actions when and if deemed appropriate.
As long as the bank's VR remains at 'a-', any downgrade of UBS's Support Rating and SRF would lead to a maximum one-notch downgrade of its Long-term IDR. Should the RWP on the VR result in an upgrade, a downgrade of the SRF would have no impact on the IDRs.
Subordinated debt and other junior and hybrid capital issued by UBS and its affiliates are all notched down from UBS's VR in accordance with Fitch's assessment of each instrument's respective non-performance and relative loss severity risk profiles, which vary considerably. Their ratings are primarily sensitive to any change in the VR of UBS and have been placed on RWP in line with the RWP on UBS's VR.
London-based UBS Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of UBS whose issuer and debt ratings are aligned with UBS's because Fitch views UBS Limited as core to UBS. UBS Limited's contractual counterparties are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed by UBS AG.
UBS Bank USA (UBSB) is a direct subsidiary of UBS Americas Inc., which in turn is wholly owned by UBS. Fitch views UBSB as core to UBS's overall operations; thus its Short-term IDR is equalised with the ultimate parent. Further, while there is no financial support agreement or guarantee from UBS, the '1' Support Rating reflects the extremely high probability that UBS would provide support to UBSB should the need arise. UBS Limited's ratings and UBSB's ratings are sensitive to the same factors that might drive a change in UBS's IDR.
The rating actions are as follows:
Long-term IDR: affirmed at 'A'; Outlook Stable
Short Term IDR: affirmed at 'F1'
Viability Rating: 'a-'; placed on RWP
Support Rating: affirmed at '1'
Support Rating Floor: affirmed at 'A'
Senior unsecured debt: affirmed at 'A'/'F1'
Senior unsecured market linked securities: affirmed at 'Aemr'
Subordinated debt: 'BBB+'; placed on RWP

I'm sorry if the answer is obvious for you guys, but why don't we all (including buildings, road, people, the ground) collapse to the center of the earth because of gravity? Is it because we have velocity, just like the earth not falling to the sun (or electrons not falling to the protons)? But that analogy doesn't sound right because those involve wide empty space.
While there is some truth to all the answers presented, I think there is something important that has been missed.
It is not just electromagnetism, it really is a quantum mechanical effect. The Pauli exclusion principle for the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ electrons says that two electrons with the same spin state cannot occupy the quantum orbital state. So when two atoms are pushed together by, for example, gravity, is therefore essentially a quantum mechanical effect that prevents the electrons from occupying the same space that results in a distortion of the quantum mechanical wavefunction. The energy it takes to create this distortion is what then results in the electromagnetic repulsion.
As @Vineet and others say, there are only 4 forces in nature and only gravity and electromagnetism have a long range. So it has to be the stronger electromagnetic force that opposes gravity, but it is the quantum mechanical Pauli exclusion principle that causes the distortion of the wavefunction that results in the electromagnetic force.
Well, if you run over a sufficiently deep hole, you WILL fall to center. So why don't you fall to the center anyway? Because there already is something thats blocks the space - namely "the earth". As most of it is either heavier than you are (so switching places would need energy to lift the it up) or at least is solid and sticks together, it's on you to stay on the outside of the ball. If the matter below you is light and doesn't "stick together" tough, you will fall as deep as possible to the center (i.e., until you hit something that again is solid and/or heavier than you are). In case of a hole this lighter material is air, in case of, for example, the ocean it is water. In both cases you "fall" to the ground, that is, towards the center of the earth.
So why does matter block us at all, why can't we go through walls or fall THROUGH the ground to the center of the earth? The answer is: elektromagnetic forces between the atoms of the matter. They prevent the atoms from colliding.
A simple framework of the fundamental forces suggests the following explanation
The second of your guesses is the correct one. The reason we do not fall to the center of the Earth is the same reason you don't fall to the floor when you sit down in a chair; the electrons in your body repel the electrons in the chair.
More specifically, there is an electron cloud around each atomic nucleus. When two atoms get close to each other, the repulsion between their respective clouds keeps them apart. Meanwhile, the attraction between the cloud and the nucleus keeps each individual atom together.
From this view, the explanation superficially makes sense.
As pointed out in the comments below, this explanation is not the one given by modern quantum theory. According to quantum mechanics, particles with half-integer spins follow the Pauli exclusion principle and cannot occupy the same quantum states simultaneously. Because electrons, protons, and neutrons are all fermions, they are excluded from occupying the same states and it is this that prevents you from falling through the chair. To figure out why the Pauli exclusion principle holds, it is necessary to get deeply into quantum mechanics and solid state physics. I am not an expert in either so I'll leave that up to those more capable than myself.
It should be noted that the correction to my original answer is not a trivial one. It isn't just the framework of the two views that changes, the predictions made by them also change. A fantastic example of the difference can be seen in superconductivity. In this phenomenon, electrons join together to form Cooper pairs. These pairs of fermions are bosons and so do not obey the exclusion principle. As a consequence, they can travel through superconducting material (made up of electrons and protons) without resistance despite the Coulombic attraction and repulsion.
Because the electromagnetic force, the force that keeps atoms together is much much much much more stronger then the gravitational force. So the only thing that the gravitational force can do given the mass of the earth (G = mg) is bring the atoms closer, but as we go down to the atom, the electromagnetic force overcomes the gravitational force and keeps everything as it is
To add to the previous answers, note that the universe has four major forces. Of these, gravity and electromagnetism dominate the macroscopic level. Between these two forces, electromagnetic forces are orders of magnitude stronger than gravitational forces, mainly because of the small value of the Gravitational constant $G$. So, when you sit on a chair, there are two forces playing tug of war, the gravitational force of the earth pulling you towards center, and the electromagnetic forces between the electrons in you and the chair which keeps you apart (one is attractive and other is repulsive).
Gravity is acting upon every object on the earth, and it is pulling everything towards its center. But everything does not collapse to its center because the surface on which the object stands provides the reaction force upward (away from the center) and balances the weight of the object. If it can't balance the weight of the object, then certainly the object sinks towards the center of the earth due to the force of gravity.
I think the electromagnetic force plays an important rule,which prevent you falling into the centre of earth..

HCC Veterans scholarships
In an effort to contribute to the Houston workforce and support Houston-area military veterans, Houston Community College (HCC) partners with the Texans for the Scholarships for Service program. HCC awards scholarships to veterans who are enrolled in HCC to help further their education and lead them on a path to making a difference in Houston. In 2014, 17 scholarships were awarded to veterans and in 2015, 11 scholarships were awarded. The recipients are honored at an awards dinner inside the Verizon West Club at NRG Stadium that includes Texans players and HCC officials to formally receive their scholarships.
Impact a Hero 5k Run
The Impact a Hero organization raises funds to provide emotional and financial support for severely wounded and disabled War on Terror veterans and their families. The Texans were proud to sponsor the Kids Area at the run where children received autographs from Texans Cheerleaders and TORO and played on inflatables. In 2015, Texans Defensive Coordinator Romeo Crennel and linebackers coach Mike Vrabel served as honorary chairs, greeting the Heroes and their families and handing out awards to top finishers and fundraisers. The Impact A Hero weekend raised more than $300,000 for veterans and their families.
Stars & Strikes
During Salute to Service Week presented by FMC Technologies, the Texans hold the annual Stars & Strikes Bowling event for 100 military members and their families from the USO, Wounded Warrior Project, and Lone Star Veterans Association. Texans players, Cheerleaders, Texans Ambassadors and Lady Texans join in as everyone enjoys an evening of bowling together.
Military BBQ
In 2015, during Salute to Service Week presented by FMC Technologies, the Texans hosted a barbecue at NRG Stadium for 200 troops and veterans in the Verizon West Club. Guests enjoyed lunch cooked by Texans tailgate teams with food donated by H-E-B which was served by the Lady Texans. After lunch, they were given the rare opportunity to tour NRG Stadium and take pictures on the field followed by a private Texans practice where they got to meet the team.
Salute to Service game presented by Bud Light
Each season, the Texans host the Salute to Service game which honors members of our military. In 2014, the Texans hosted more than 300 service members at the annual game. Members of all five branches of the military held the Texas and U.S. flags during pre-game ceremonies, former Navy Seal and "Lone Survivor" Marcus Luttrell led the team out of the tunnel as the Homefield Advantage Captain, and President George H.W. Bush was honored as the Coin Toss Captain. The U.S. Army Chorus sang the National Anthem while "Challenger," the free-flying American bald eagle, soared through the air. During halftime, TORO repelled with members of the military from the roof of the stadium to the field.
Operation FINALLY HOME
During the Texans Home for the Holidays game, U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 Kevin Bone, who retired the day before following 28 years of service, received a special holiday surprise: Bone and his wife Carolina were selected to receive a custom-built, mortgage-free home courtesy of Operation FINALLY HOME, the Texans, and FMC Technologies. The announcement was made by 2010 Top 10 CNN Hero of the Year, Dan Wallrath, during a surprise on-field presentation.
TACT Teams
Several players sponsor season-ticket packages through the TACT (Texans All Community Team) program that honor groups consisting of military families and veterans, including the USO and Impact A Hero. Players made several trips throughout 2014 to visit with service men & women and their families.
Military Outreach Trip
In 2014, the Houston Texans participated in an outreach tour at Fort Sam Houston and Fort Hood in Texas to show their appreciation for the men and women of the military. Defensive end Tim Jamison, former Texans defensive end N.D. Kalu, Houston Texans Cheerleaders, and TORO interacted with soldiers at the bases and signed autographs at each stop.

Despite an accumulation of replicable findings, robust constructs, even a "soft technology" for bridging the gap between theory and practice, we are still largely in the situation of the distance between social problems of, let us say, conflict or inequality and the ability of social science to provide credible, reliable and usable solutions. At the same time, the initial paradigms, suffering from hyperrationalism, have given way to more transactional ones, and have been shaken by the tenets of postmodernism. Shaken, but not undone, as "middle-level" constructs emerge, ones that appear to link the research community with a variety of professional communities in more meaningful and durable ways.

I have a spreadsheet with sensitive data. How might I block a certain column from others users viewing it?
There is no way to securely block viewers or editors from getting viewing access to a range of cells. I.E. anyone having access to a spreadsheet could create a copy, this will make the copy creator the owner of it.
One alternative is to use two spreadsheets, one for sensitive data and another for non-sensitive data each of them with the proper access permissions.

I work at Airbnb doing iOS, and I love it.
I love cohesive design: showing that you care enough to design something amazing from the bottom up is a requirement to really get my attention.
I love little details: I probably sweat the details in everything I do—a true strength and weakness—more than anyone I've ever met.
I don't settle when it comes to The User Experience: users, at the end of the day, are the only ones who matter, so if I'm not unwavering in my determination to create the ultimate User Experience, then I'm not doing my job.
Other than that, I enjoy studying Japanese and whistling like a pro to my favorite songs. I also play Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U competitively.

Fundraiser under way for family who lost home in fireBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | April 09,2013
CLARENDON — An outpouring of support by community members has led to a fundraising effort to help a Clarendon family of six who lost their home in a fire Monday afternoon.
Jennifer Byrne and Karen Steever quickly started to gather their resources after learning that Linda Lebel Hampton, sister Deb, brother-in-law Stephen and their three children lost all their possessions in a house fire.
By Tuesday morning, they set up an post office box so that monetary donations and gifts cards could be sent to the family. They also opened up an account at Merchants Bank that will receive direct donations.
The pair also created a page on Facebook to provide a series of updates on how the family is doing as well as specifications on what they are hoping to collect.
For household goods, the family needs three twin beds and bedding, a bed for the parents, a couch, dinning table and chairs, dishes, glasses and other assorted household items.
For clothes they are looking for sizes 7/8 for girls, 10/12 for girls, 10/12 for boys, women size 12 for pants and large size for women and for men, 42 by 34 long pant, XL shirts and chef pants too.
The house – a trailer with a second-story attachment – burned to the ground Monday afternoon after a 6-way electrical plug caught on fire.
Donations can be sent to Lebel/White Family Fund, P.O. Box 24, North Clarendon, VT 05759. Small items and clothing can be dropped off between 6-7 p.m. tomorrow at Clarendon Elementary School Chair Banquet.MORE IN This Just In

Alamoudi spoke to a radical islamic crowd announcing ""I have been labeled by the media in New York as being a supporter of Hamas. Any supporters of Hamas here? (cheers) Hear that, Bill Clinton? We are all supporters of Hamas ... I wish they added that I am also a supporter of Hezbollah" (source). He is also named as a defendent in the lawsuit on behalf of 9/11 victims (source).

(source - The Atlanta Journal Constitution, 8/3/02)
DONOR: Awad Nihad
AMMOUNT: $500 on September 11, 2001
DETAILS: Nihad is a director of the radical islamic group Council of American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. CAIR has a lengthy history of voicing political viewpoints in defense of terrorist organizations, making complaints against the convictions of terrorists, setting up defense funds for various islamic radicals who have been convicted of crimes, and even criticizing a California billboard that was critical of Osama Bin Laden prior to the 9/11 attacks.
DONOR: Helal Omeira
AMMOUNT: $200 on October 25, 2001
DETAILS: Omeira is the Executive Director of Northern California's CAIR chapter. See above for info on CAIR
Several dozen other donors with links to radical Islamic groups such as CAIR and Alamoudi's American Muslim Federation appear on her finance reports located here. Among them are several persons whose offices have been searched by the FBI in the wake of 9/11 and in anti-terrorism probes.
DONOR: Abdurahman Alamoudi
AMMOUNT: $1000 on 10/7/96, $500 on 9/5/99, $500 on 6/18/99 ($1000 out of $2000 total returned on 2/8/02)

DETAILS: Hyland is an anti-Israel activist based out of Texas. In a June 23, 1995 editorial for the Daily Texan Hyland wrote "The U.S. government labels Hizbollah and Islamic Jihad as terrorist organizations, but they are really freedom fighters defending their rights in Lebanon and Palestine." Other published writings by Hyland blame Israel for the Palestinian terrorists and liken the Israeli government to Hitler's Germany. Hyland is also a close personal friend of convicted American Taliban John Walker Lindh. He met Lindh during a study abroad program at the Yemen Language Center in 1998 (source).
DONOR: Ishan "Sammy" Elashi
AMMOUNT: $500 on April 24, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)
DETAILS: Elashi, a radical Islamic activist based out of Richardson, TX, is the owner of Tetrabal Corporation and an affiliate of his family-owned Infocom Corporation, both of which have been shut down by the government from export charges after shipping computer equipment to known terrorist states. Elashi himself was arrested in February as a result of government terrorism investigations. He was indicted on 39 federal counts in April stemming from illegal shipments of electronics, computer hardware, and communications equipments to locations in Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and other locations throughout the Middle East. A number of the shipments occured after an export ban was imposed upon his company during the investigation. The charges included money laundering and the illegal exports he made to known terrorist states. Elashi pled guilty to the charges on June 17, 2002 and faces sentencing this September with a 50 year maximum penalty plus over $1 million in fines. His conviction is listed on the web site of the United States Department of Justice and the United States Commerce Department's Bureau of Export Administration, the agency that enforces export laws pertaining to national security and anti-terrorism matters. Press releases detailing Elashi's guilty plea in anti-terrorism export charges may be found by clicking on the links to both agencies.
Ishan Elashi's business dealings also extend to Infocom Corporation, in which he is an affiliate and his brother Ghassan Elashi is the principle. Infocom, a former web service provider for almost exclusively Islamic sites ranging from Al Jazeera television to the Holy Land Foundation, was raided last September under an investigation by the government's North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force (source). Infocom's assets were frozen after it recieved a $250,000 money transfer from Elashi's cousin Nadia Marzook, the wife of Hamas Political Bureau leader Mousa Abu Marzook. Marzook, who is based in Syria, is listed in the leadership section of the Hamas' website at this link. Among the Elashi family members who own Infocom are affiliates of the Islamic Association for Palestine (which was founded by Marzook). Other affiliations of the Elashi's and many other Democrat donors include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. The Elashis are also the main officials of the Richardson, TX based Holy Land Foundation - another group that had its assets frozen in a post 9/11 probe. President Bush announced the order against the HLF, which was recently sustained in court, stating the charges against it: "The Holy Land Foundation is registered with the IRS as a tax-exempt charity based in Richardson...Money raised by the Holy Land Foundation is used by Hamas to support schools and indoctrinate children to grow up into suicide bombers." The Holy Land Foundation was also formerly represented by lobbyist John Bryant. Bryant is a former Democrat Congressman from the Dallas area and a supporter and friend of Kirk.
DONOR: Majida M. Salem
AMMOUNT: $100 on April 25, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)
DETAILS: According to a news report, "The address Salem provided in making his donation [to Kirk] has been linked by federal authorities" to Ghassan Elashi. (source)
DONOR: Mohammed Suleman
AMMOUNT: $50 on May 1, 1995 to Kirk's Dallas mayoral campaign (source)
DETAILS: Suleman is on the board of the Dallas chapter of radical islamic group CAIR. After September 11, Suleman gave support for former Holy Land Foundation employee Ghassan Dahduli following his deportion only weeks after September 11th for terrorist ties (source). Dahduli was a close personal friend of Osama Bin Laden's personal secretary, Wadi Al Hage, who was convicted for the 1998 embassy bombings in Africa. Papers belonging to Al Hage mentioned Dahduli and business activities with the Holy Land Foundation.
SUPPORTER: Ghulam Warriach
EVENT: Hosted a dinner in Kirk's honor (source)
DETAILS: Warriach, also a CAIR board member, hosted an August 1995 dinner in honor of then Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk and former Democrat Congressman John Bryant, a vocal congressional opponent of Israel.
POSITION: Democrat Senator from New York
DONOR: Abdurahman Alamoudi
AMMOUNT: $1000 on May 25, 2000 (returned on October 25, 2000 amidst intense criticism during her Senate campaign)

I think he's talking about the current NH Senator Bob Smith unless there's a Bob Smith that's governor or something elsewhere.
Unfortunately the NH senator's GOP primary challenger is himself unacceptable from the campaign cash perspective. It's GOP congressman John Sununu and he's one of a small number of Republicans who regularly recieves campaign cash from the same Islamic radicals as McKinney et al above.
One of Sununu's donors is this Alamoudi fellow who has been giving him checks for several cycles. I think Sununu did return the most recent one from the current cycle in light of the exposure Alamoudi's recieved over McKinney and Hitlery. But there were several others on Sununu's list that matched McKinney's list.
Are you sure they aren't the Cubans? If I were in Smith's shoes that's where I'd be raising money, cause he went down there and fought for them during the Elian Gonzales thing at the same time Sheila Jackson Lee was working for Castro's side.
Democrats want Smith to win his primary for the same reason Republicans want Reno to win hers.
This is becoming a bizzare election year. In Alabama, hundreds of Republicans crossed over and voted for Yusuf Salaam, a Black Muslim, in a statehouse primary (Salaam won, by 138 votes).

Did Bonior win or lose the primary for Gov.?
Oh, my, LL/Voegelin, you almost slipped this one by me. WHAT purge of black Democrats? In the Earl Hilliard-Artur Davis race, both candidates are black. In the Cynthia McKinney-Denise Majette race, both candidates are black. In the first race, Hilliard, the pro-Palestinian, pro-Arab candidate lost to Davis. Of course, that might be because Hilliard ran a lousy campaign & brought in Al Sharpton. In the McKinney-Majette race, the election isn't until Tuesday, with the last available pollling showing Majette slightly ahead. Of course, with McKinney awash in radical Islamic money, and with a visit from Louis Farrakhan for her, who knows how that race is going turn out.
If you can cite any other examples of "purging black Democrats," please do so.

Actually, I think LarryLied/Voegelin has a problem with the Jooos having money in the first place ;).
As for purging: I find it extremely odd that FR has such a problem with purging this antisemite.
He seems to think Americans of any stripe (including Jews) do not have the right to stand up against that sort of mischief.
And it bothers him when the GOP courts Jewish votes. I think The Reform Party is more his style.
I find it even more odd that LL/Voegelin talks about "purging black Democrats" when the opposing candidates in the Hilliard and McKinney races are also black. Is it that Larry is doing the same thing the Hilliard and McKinney camps are doing: that if you aren't pro-Palestinian, pro-Arab, pro-Farrakhan, far-left Congressional Black Caucus-type, you aren't considered to be black?
Now there's a coincidence. Wasn't that insane freak Martin Lindstedt involved with them?
I seem to remember they had a minor flap going with having to throw a few all-too-blatant Nazis overboard ;).
Yeah those types do tend to stink up the room wherever they go. :)
Heh. You may find this post of his on LF somewhat illuminating ;).

As I'm sure you know, the true-believer progressives are saying the exact same thing. They are even more alienated from the Democratic Party than conservatives are from the Republican. And that will increase as AIPAC has made it clear it has veto power over which Blacks will be allowed to run in general elections.
In Alabama, hundreds of conservatives crossed over to vote for an African-American Muslim Democrat in a statehouse primary. In Florida, New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith is raising money from Jewish Clinton-Gore supporters.
We live in interesting times.
Actually, you can at any time follow LarryLied in stereo, sort of. One thread here on FR, one thread on LF. The LF thread a little bit more manic, a little cruder, with "hymie" stuff thrown in.
A disgrace to Free Republic.
WASHINGTON -- Several contributors to Rep. Cynthia McKinney's campaign are among the alleged "enablers of terrorism" named in the $1 trillion lawsuit filed this week by families of some Sept. 11 victims.
The suit seeks damages from the "financial sponsors of terror" who "hide behind the facade of legitimacy." Among these alleged terrorist financiers are several individual supporters of McKinney. Among the corporate defendants is a Gainesville poultry firm.
The federal suit was filed Thursday by more than 600 relatives of people who died in the terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania. The amount sought was amended to $1 trillion from an earlier $100 trillion.
"The financial resources and support network of these defendants -- charities, banks and individual financiers -- are what allowed the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to occur," the lawsuit charges.
Among the defendants are:
Mar-Jac Poultry Inc., a Gainesville firm that the lawsuit claims has links to Saudi supporters of Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terrorist network.
Abdurahman Alamoudi, who contributed $2,000 to McKinney's campaign. The lawsuit says Alamoudi has "openly stated his support for Hamas and Hezbollah, both designated terrorist organizations." Alamoudi is secretary of the Success Foundation, which the lawsuit charges is part of the International Islamic Relief Organization, which is "al- Qaida's charity of choice to funnel money and weapons."
Mohamed S. Omeish, who contributed $500 to McKinney's campaign. The suit says Omeish is president of the U.S. branch of the Islamic Relief Organization.
Yaqub Mirza, president of Mar-Jac Investments, who also gave $500 to McKinney's campaign. He is secretary-treasurer of the Muslim World League, an organization named as a defendant in the lawsuit. "The MWL has numerous connections with al-Qaida operatives," the lawsuit alleges.
Jamal Barzinji, a Mar-Jac Investments manager, who gave $500 to McKinney's campaign. Barzinji is president of SAAR Foundation, another organization named as a defendant in the lawsuit. "The SAAR Network financially supports terrorism and its main contributors, the al-Rajhi Family, has a long history of same," the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit said the "co-conspirators, aiders and abettors of the al-Rajhi family" include Mar-Jac Poultry Inc. The al-Rajhi family was included among the Saudi Arabian financiers of bin Laden.
Ahmad Totonji, who contributed $1,000 to McKinney's campaign. The lawsuit lists him among the "co-conspirators, aiders and abettors of the SAAR Network."
The lawsuit defendants who contributed to McKinney's campaign could not be reached Friday and did not respond to telephone messages. Telephone calls on Friday to the McKinney campaign were not returned. The congresswoman faces former DeKalb County State Court Judge Denise Majette in the 4th District Democratic primary Tuesday.
Is it that Larry is doing the same thing the Hilliard and McKinney camps are doing: that if you aren't pro-Palestinian, pro-Arab, pro-Farrakhan, far-left Congressional Black Caucus-type, you aren't considered to be black?
It's always about the Jews....
Actually, to get a good eye-opener on LarryLied, go to LibertyForum and follow the posts of his alter ego, "Voegelin".
For those unfamiliar with "Voegelin", he is LarryLied. That was at first an obvious thing due to more or less identical posts here and on LF. Then, he was so kind as to post his email address on the Voegelin profile. After he was "unmasked" as Voegelin, he removed his mail address from LibertyForum.
However: I have in my archive two profile pages. See, after he put his address on LibertyForum, he put it on FreeRepublic. And the timestamps on the pages here reflects that fact.
Now, I'm gonna give you a graphic example of what "Voegelin" is all about. Hold your nose:

It is tough love Skunkie. What you do to a snotty five year old brat who keeps getting picked on by other kids. You don't coo over him and tell him how unjust it all is. You tell him to stop being an obnoxious brat.
So, according to LarryLied/Voegelin, all this gassing stuff was just "tough love". Skunk is banned here, and has been banned through about 20 incarnations. LarryLied/Voegelin, his pal, is untouchable.
How can we arrange to have the mothership pick up LarryLied too? LOL!!!
Well, even nastier for the fact that the thread wasn't about israel or Jews in the first place, but about an Australian woman raped by some Lebanese immigrants. But as you know, where LarryLied or Skunk gets in, nothing is about anything but Jews.
A sad verdict over LibertyForum: there seems to be a broad consensus there that Skunk is the guy that really gives the place "class". A sad verdict over Free Republic: LarryLied/Voegelin can freely post the stuff that when quoted is enough to get a thread pulled for antisemitic content.
If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
-Louis D. Brandeis (Supreme Court Justice, 1916-1939)
The time has come for Georgia's greatest political embarrassment, Cynthia McKinney, to return to the private sector where she can no longer cast shame on our great state and nation.
McKinney is a loose cannon. Her behavior since taking office, both in and out of the news, shows that she will say and do ANYTHING. She is without peer for making unsupportable claims and bringing dishonor to her constituents.
McKinney's recent political gaffes include ASKING Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin-Talal (after the September 11th tragedy) for his $10 Million check, after New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani rejected the "conditional" contribution.
This unbelievably callous act pales by comparison to her more recent assertions that President Bush did not act to stop September 11th (after the CIA reported a generic rumor of a possible airline hijacking--nothing more and no specifics), because a war on terrorism would be good for President Bush's (and former President George W. Bush's) wealthy military friends.
Outrageous! Scandalous! Senator Zell Miller has even publicly described McKinney's statements as "loony," and "disgraceful," undoubtedly mirroring the private sentiments of a great majority of people across Georgia and across the United States. In light of McKinney's comments and public behavior, it is most interesting to follow the money to discern exactly who is pouring funds into her campaign coffers.
Cynthia must go.
They have a guestbook you can sign. :))
And also very interesting to see who are running all around cyberspace howling maniacal support for her and her "Fruit of Islam" (a seemingly criminal organization) goons.

Dunedin police's district operations manager Inspector
Alastair Dickie is to take up the role of Clutha-Taieri area
response manager.
Insp Dickie will begin in the role on March 31, at the rank
of senior sergeant with responsibility for overseeing
policing in the Clutha-Taieri sub-area.
He will also provide administrative and operational support
to Balclutha, Mosgiel and surrounds.
Southern police district superintendent Andrew Coster said
Insp Dickie appreciated the support police received from the
community and was looking forward to rekindling connections
with former local partner agency contacts and local staff. He
wished Insp Dickie well.
Insp Dickie, who has been in the police for 36 years, the
last seven as an inspector, said he had fond memories of his
early policing years in rural areas.
He viewed his vacated position as an opportunity for a
younger police staff member to develop further in their
career, he said.
He and his family would live on the Taieri and he would
balance his time across his area of responsibility.

This universal expandable tank bag from Touratech is made with adjustable straps that will fit a wide variety of enduro, off-road, and touring motorcycles.
Giant Loop's Diablo Tank Bag Pro™ (4 liters) is a lower profile version of its larger cousin, the Fandango. The Diablo Pro is the perfect tank bag for the dual-sport or adventure rider who wants a bag with a minimalist, slim, trim design.
With your panniers and topcase filled with all the camping necessities, it's also great to have a place for quick-access items like maps, sunglasses, wallets, and cameras. The Touratech Expandable Tank Bag fills this role perfectly, giving you an up-front storage solution for all your personal items, and a good place to display a map while riding.
This universal fit passenger seat bag mounts easily to any motorcycle with a removable passenger seat with it convenient mounting base. nlike a tail-bag, the passenger seat bag mounts closer to the rider, keeping the weight more centered on the motorcycle.
The Giant Loop Fandango Tank Bag PRO represents a major upgrade of Giant Loop's largest, most popular tank bag (8 liters). Expandability, electronics compatibility, and features driven by rider feedback inspire this Adventure Proof state-of-the-art design.
Small tail rack bag for virtually all enduro bikes with a luggage rack. We offer two different bags which perfectly fit the tail rack and are fastened at six points with three straps. The straps are fixed with 2 buckles and can be removed. 055-1201 and 055-1202 are similar but more customers buy the 055-1202 (below) because it is expandable.
The Enduro 2 tail rack bag is same as the 055-1201 except it is expandable from 5 to 8 litres. Has straps to attach to the motorcycle, or ideally to the cargo rack.

Bob Mould: "25 Years of Workbook"
Last June, beloved ex-local icon Bob Mould blasted ear drums at Rock the Garden, mixing in choice selections from his thunderous back catalog with Sugar and Hüsker Dü alongside the equally hard-edged tunes from 2012's solo album, Silver Age. The decibel level will be decidedly lower when Mould takes the stage of the Woman's Club Theatre backed by longtime bassist Jason Narducy. They'll perform highlights from Mould's 1989 solo debut Workbook with selections that "sit nicely alongside the album." A fragile folk-pop affair, the record is undoubtedly Mould's finest as a singer-songwriter, and its combination of lyrical acidity and cello-accented mid-tempo melodicism still sounds as fresh today as it did a quarter century ago. With Paul Metzger.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Are Best Friends, Not Dating?WendyM
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are best friends, according to Bieber, who told Ryan Seacrest in a KIIS-FM radio interview that he and Gomez are not dating.
I'm not sure I believe you, Justin!
Justin Bieber told Ryan Seacrest that he would tell people who see him and Selena Gomez together, "Just tell 'em that she's, like, one of my best friends."
Justin also talks about seeing the movie "No Strings Attached" with Selena Gomez Justin and Selena were captured on video after leaving the movie theater. Were they together on a date?
Bieber commented, "That's what I need right there," referring to the movie plot about friends with benefits.
Next logical conclusion, of course, is that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are friends with benefits?

Vodafone Prepaid — The Website is misleading while changing the account through online
1 Review
FeFeroz Huqmani on Feb 27, 2011
I have recharged my Vodafone mobile 9581406300 online with a sum of Rs111. As I have taken this connection recently, I didn't have the knowleged of the recharge options. so I went Vodfone website (www.vodafone.in) there Prepaid,There Topups, from the avaialable 'chota' recharge options I have selected the Chota 111 (page 10). I have clicked on the 'View Details' optioon the I saaw the details as
MRP (Rs) 111.0
Recharge/Bonus card Talktime
Talktime (Rs) 98.63
(Equivalent mins) 91.73
Validity (Days) 0
Access Fee (Rs) 2.0
Service Tax 10.3
So thinking that I will get a talktime of 98 rupees, I recharged my mobile number using my savings bank account number. but I didn't got any talktime.so I contacted the customer care people, they said that this is only for Vodafone to Vodafoane 20ps/min( validity 90 days) offer, and for this I wont get any talk time.
But Nothing as such is mentioned in the Vodafone official website. I dont know how an huge MNC like vodafone can misguide its customers via its website.
Request to you to look into this issue and do the needful.

Empirical processes for infinite variance autoregressive models
The paper proposes new procedures for diagnostic checking of fitted models under the assumption of infinite-variance errors which are in the domain of attraction of a stable law. These procedures are functional of residual-based empirical processes. First, the asymptotic distributions of the empirical processes based on residuals are derived. Then two important applications in time series diagnostics are discussed. A goodness-of-fit test is developed using a functional of the empirical process based on residuals. Tests of independence of innovations are also considered. The finite-sample behavior of these tests are studied by simulation and comparison with the classical Portmanteau tests for ARMA models with infinite-variance developed recently by Lin and McLeod (2008) [25] is provided.

Our Religious Education Curriculum
Primary Group (Grades K,1,2)
In Our Hands: A Peace and Social Justice Curriculum.
In this program, children explore peace and fairness through stories, discussions, and activities. Participants learn constructive ways of resolving conflict and promoting peace in their own lives. They learn to see their connections to the larger community, to the natural world, and to the Unitarian Universalist peace and justice heritage.
Elementary Group (Grades 3,4,5)
In Our Hands: A Peace and Social Justice Curriculum
This program provides opportunities for children to explore their own knowledge and feelings about peace and justice. It also helps children learn about various concepts of peace and justice and explore how to promote peace and justice within themselves, in their relationships with others, in their roles as Unitarian Universalists, and as human beings on our earth.
Spring Project (K-Grade 5)
In April and May of 2016, grades K through 5th will join in a special project together.
Junior High Group (Grades 6,7,8)
It Starts With Me
A course for older children (ages 10–13) on community service, this program contains information and a wide range of creative activities that focus on the concept of community and an awareness of oneself as a part of a community; the importance of volunteerism to the local community; and different forms that community service and social activism can take with an emphasis on simple acts of kindness, human rights, and environmental protection.
Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU) (Grades 9-12)
In YRUU, youth and adult advisors work together to build community, develop youth leadership, and engage in worship and social action. Our youth develop ties to our area congregations and wider UU youth movement by attending district YRUU conferences.
YRUU has also elected to be a part of Habitat for Humanity Service Project, which includes fundraising events, planning meetings, and training sessions which culminate in a ten-day out-of-state trip in July of each year. Advisors lead the youth to take greater leadership in their own learning, and to select and discuss topics relevant to Unitarian Universalism and the greater world.
Additionally, topics relevant to healthy adolescent development, decision-making, and relationships are also addressed. Together, these programs give our youth the opportunity to deepen their religious and moral understandings and bring their beliefs and values to bear on the world. As such, youth may become members of UUSG with limited voting privileges.

Hunt won't run for Congress
Published: Monday, August 27, 2007 at 12:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 27, 2007 at 12:19 p.m.
District Attorney Jeff Hunt said today he will not seek the Republican nomination to challenge U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler in the 11th congressional district.
Along with N.C. Sen. Tom Apodaca of Hendersonville, Asheville City Councilman Carl Mumpower and others, Hunt has been talked about as a possible GOP contender to reclaim the seat that Shuler, a Waynesville Democrat, took from U.S. Rep. Charles Taylor of Brevard last year.
For many months, Western North Carolina a Republicans, friends and supporters have been urging me to run for Congress in 2008, Hunt said in a statement. I seriously considered running for this important office earlier this year.
Hunt said recent events that pose challenges within the criminal justice system cemented his decision not to run for Congress. These include a move by certain individuals to reduce penalties and accountability for certain crimes, and the creation of a public defender office.
These have led me to the conclusion that I am most needed and can best serve our people in my capacity as district attorney at this time, he said.
The Brevard resident was elected to a fourth term as district attor
ney in 2006. The judicial district encompasses Henderson, Transylvania and Polk counties.
I will continue our well-established record of fair and tough prosecution of criminal cases in district 29B while meeting these new challenges, he said.
The decision removes one name from the hat for GOP activists who have been searching for a successor to Taylor while trying to get the former congressman to declare his decisions about the 2008 race. Taylor has so far declined to say whether he will run again.
