Rajaratnam Wiretaps to Be Played at Ex-Galleon Deputy's Trial
Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge fund manager convicted of insider trading, will be heard again on recorded wiretaps in the trial of his former deputy, Zvi Goffer, the judge overseeing the case said.
Rajaratnam, who didn't testify in his trial, was convicted of 14 criminal counts last week by jurors who heard him talking in dozens of wiretapped conversations with employees and alleged co-conspirators. U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan said recordings of Rajaratnam will be played in the case of Goffer and two others whose trial began yesterday with jury selection.
"Mr. Rajaratnam is going to be a factor in this trial," Sullivan told lawyers in a hearing yesterday before the start of jury selection in the same Manhattan courthouse where Rajaratnam was convicted of directing the biggest illegal stock-tipping ring since the 1980s. "He's going to be mentioned or in fact heard on these tapes."
Goffer, 34, who left Galleon to work at Schottenfeld Group LLC and then founded his own firm, Incremental Capital LLC, is on trial along with his brother, Emanuel Goffer, 32, and Michael Kimelman, 40, both ex-traders at Incremental. Their trial begins a second round of cases growing out of a nationwide insider-trading investigation.
Referred to by some of his alleged accomplices as "Octopussy," Zvi Goffer was at the center of the insider-trading scheme, one of three overlapping rings tied to Galleon, according to prosecutors. The reference to the 1983 James Bond movie was due to Goffer's many sources of information, prosecutors have said.
Sullivan told lawyers he expects jury selection to be completed today, with opening statements to follow.
45 Possible Jurors
Yesterday, the judge questioned 45 potential jurors, seeking to identify biases that would prevent them from serving on the jury. He told them the trial may take as long as six weeks.
"Have any of you seen, heard, or read news reports about the trial of Raj Rajaratnam," Sullivan asked, one of the 68 items on a questionnaire he read to the panel.
Sullivan and lawyers in the case questioned many of the people, including 11 who said they'd heard news of the Rajaratnam case, individually, in a jury room away from the rest of the panel. Sullivan permitted reporters to attend the questioning. In the Rajaratnam trial, U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell barred reporters when individual members of the jury pool were being questioned.
Rajaratnam Wiretaps
Panel members who said they knew of the Rajaratnam case were told that Zvi Goffer was a former employee and that the trial would include the recorded conversations of Rajaratnam with Goffer and others.
In one wiretap, Kimelman "says some very derogatory things about risk managers," ridiculing them as the enemy, his lawyer, Michael Sommer, told Sullivan, arguing to bar a Credit Suisse Group AG risk manager from the panel. Sullivan declined to exclude the Credit Suisse executive.
The Goffer brothers and Kimelman are charged with conspiracy and securities fraud. They face as long as 20 years in prison if convicted of fraud. Emanuel Goffer last week lost a bid for a two-week postponement of the trial because of what he called "inflammatory" publicity from Rajaratnam's May 11 conviction.
"There's an appeals issue even before Zvi Goffer crosses the courthouse threshold, presuming he is convicted," said Anthony Sabino, a professor at the Tobin School of Business at St. John's University in New York.
"The defendant can claim the publicity in the aftermath of the Rajaratnam guilty verdict harmed his chances for a fair trial," Sabino said. "How can you find an unbiased group of people who aren't tainted by what's in the news?"
Ropes & Gray
Prosecutors allege that Zvi Goffer paid tens of thousands of dollars to two Ropes & Gray LLP attorneys for information on transactions the law firm was handling.
The government says Goffer's sources passed tips on acquisitions of companies including 3Com Corp., Axcan Pharma Inc., Kronos Inc. and Hilton Hotels Corp.
The scheme netted at least $20 million in profit, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleged when it filed a related civil lawsuit. All three men denied wrongdoing.
Their arrest in November 2009, just weeks after Rajaratnam was detained on insider-trading charges, came in a second wave of cases brought by the FBI and Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. Fourteen people were charged originally in Goffer's alleged ring. Ten pleaded guilty. One, Deep Shah, is a fugitive.
William Barzee, a lawyer for Zvi Goffer, and Michael Ross, a lawyer for Emanuel Goffer, didn't reply to voice-mail messages seeking comment. Kimelman's lawyer, Sommer, declined to comment.
Cooperating Witnesses
As they did with Rajaratnam, prosecutors will call cooperating witnesses who allegedly participated in the scheme. One is Brien Santarlas, a former Ropes & Gray lawyer who pleaded guilty in 2009 to passing tips about transactions, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Fish told the judge.
The Goffer trial, like that of Rajaratnam, will feature conversations secretly recorded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Fish said at a May 10 hearing that he expects to play at least 60 recordings, some lasting more 30 minutes.
Prosecutors have said Goffer and his co-conspirators spoke in code with one another and tried to hide their trades. Excerpts of wiretaps in court records show the men sometimes used colorful terms.
In one call, Goffer and a co-defendant discussed whether one of their sources of inside information was a "rat," according to a government summary of the wiretaps.
'So Paranoid'
"We have become so paranoid for no reason," Goffer said. In another call, he cautioned lawyer Jason Goldfarb, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy and securities fraud on April 21, about getting caught.
"Someone's going to jail, going directly to jail, so don't let it be you, OK?" Goffer said, adding, "That's a ticket to the big house."
In another call, Goffer said he was pleased that others were also trading on the same stock, because it would help him evade detection by regulators and prosecutors.
"All right then, you know what?" Goffer said, according to the FBI summary. "All it does is give me more cover. God Bless America,"
FBI agents followed Goffer and his co-defendants for months as they traded information at New York street corners and gyms, according to court records.
Sabino said such talk will make it difficult for Goffer's defense lawyers to argue he relied on analyst reports instead of secret tips, as Rajaratnam's lawyers did at his trial.
'Sopranos' Dialogue
"These guys are allegedly better educated than a mob defendant, but their conversations sound a lot like 'Sopranos' dialogue," Sabino said, referring to the television show.
"This is blunt conversation where you have one defendant asking if a guy is a rat," he said. "Any juror who watches a lot of TV will know that they sound more like gangsters committing crimes than real traders."
The case is U.S. v. Goffer, 10-cr-00056, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

'L'incoronazione di Dario', composed in 1717, is the Vivaldi Edition's 16th opera and its 53rd release. It marks the halfway point in a bold enterprise launched by Naive in 2000: the recording of the 450 works in Vivaldi's personal library. In the footsteps of the Mozart and Bach revivals 30 years ago, this is the most ambitious recording project of the century.
'L'incoronazione di Dario' must be considered one of Vivaldi's most successful operas. Immediately opening with exceptional arias, it moves at a rapid pace, holding the listener's attention throughout. Recitatives are interspersed with arioso interludes and there no less than eight 'big' numbers sure to join the ranks of 'Vivaldi's best opera arias'. The excellent cast acts out this drama with conviction: Anders Dahlin's sings Dario, with impeccable intonation and stunning coloratura passages; Sara Mingardo, as Statira, brings great depth and beauty, most especially in her Act 2 solo Cantata accompanied only by viola da gamba. Delphine Galou sings with an impressive natural ability and passion and two of her arias in particular are sure to remain benchmarks: 'D'un bel viso' and 'Ferri, ceppi, sangue, morte'; Roberta Mameli, Riccardo Novaro, Sophia Soloviy and Lucia Cirillo are all excellent and each of them has at least one star aria.
Ottavio Dantone's conducting is marked by his ability to bring out the many subtilties in this music and by his profound understanding of recitativos which he is able to bring fully to life as theatre.
Live recording, a co-production with Deutschland Radio
"... Dantone directs his stalwart period-instrument group with sensitivity and propulsiveness, allowing the singers opportunities for da capo embellishment ..."

I have the distinct pleasure of being born in the English Avenue community. The opportunity to work with Atlanta Harm Reduction Coalition on their 15th Anniversary gave me insight into the many ways that they are assisting that community in helping people to find housing and get health assistance that most persons are not aware of. The most impressive thing about this organization was the PEOPLE which work and operate this center. They are warm, friendly people who relate extremely well with members of this community. My most memorable moment was when they had a 70 year old female who had some health issues and was homeless. They worked diligently to find her a place to live and also to contact and get her health resources which she really needed. Ms. Gaines put everything else to the side to give this lady her full attention. By the way she had a very heavy case load, but this elderly lady went to the top of the list. I also attend church in the English Avenue community and several church members volunteer with Atlanta Harm Reduction because of the very positive things that they are making happen. I look forward to working with them in the future and offer volunteer services whenever they call. I have sent several persons who live in that area to them for assistance.

This video was created for the Human Resource Department at BinLaden Group to demonstrate their new Employee Management System. We've added all the software's functionality, but with a futuristic touch to it. It took a lot of hard hours of VFX works to be completed as to the tight schedule.
We had to begin with pre-planning each shot and it's technicalities and create a detailed technical shot list. In addition to VFX Supervision on set during the shoot.
Overall, we had over 34 VFX shots on this project. That included a series of treatments, including stabalizing, camera tracking, cleaning, rotoscoping, matte painting, motion graphics and color correction.
The team at Bin Laden Group were extremely happy with the shoot and results, that they requested a Behind the Scenes video for them to play during an internal meeting, for fun :)

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Both of Alabama's Republican U.S. senators have now come out against Judge Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Sen. Richard Shelby says he can't support her because of concerns about her willingness to properly uphold fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Shelby's decision came after Sen. Jeff Sessions voted against Sotomayor in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
Sotomayor's nomination is now headed to the Senate.

KILLEEN (June 28, 2013)—Leonard Mike Penley, a previously convicted child sex offender, was arrested Thursday on a new indecency with a child by contact charge.
Bell County Justice of the Peace Garland Potvin set Penley's bond at $75,000, but Penley did not appear on the Bell County Jail log on Friday morning.
Penley, 54, was arrested after a 14-year-old girl reported she had been inappropriately touched by a man on June 5 while she was swimming at a private pool at a Killeen home.
An arrest affidavit showed two teenage girls were swimming in a pool at a home in the 2800 block of Cheaney Drive when a man touched one of the through her swimming suit.
One day later the girl reported to police investigators a man touched her breasts and genitals.
Penley was indicted and convicted in 2012 on a similar charge and was placed on probation.
Court documents presented in the first case indicated the girl had been given alcohol and pills.
She also reported Penley had been molesting her over a period of years.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
The last years my AdSense-Income increased about the same amount as the traffic: So 10x more traffic means about 10x more AdSense. In fact, the raise of AdSense was more, because more shops are ordering adds before christmas so the CPC raises as well.
This year I have the usually increase in traffic, but my AdSense-income WENT DOWN. Compared to other times of the year that means: 10x traffic, 0.8x AdSense.
Okay, you can blame it on the financial crisis, because other channels in advertising went down as well of course. But while other publishers like newspapers got decreasing orders of adds, Google is announcing an increasing profit after another.
Still Google is not telling us how many of a CPC is given to you when offering AdSense on your page. I was wondering if this is not a solid percentage of the CPC but Google is "opitmizing" that percentage to get more and more profit.
Don't get me wrong: AdSense is a great and easy way to get mony from your website. I just cannot explain the numbers in this year, big companys are still advertising with AdSense on my page, the approx. CPC giving in AdWords is as expected. I'm used to some fluctuations in internet-business due to variable causes, but getting less then 1/10 AdSense of what used to be without any visible reason is very frightening.
And everyone of them will be seeing something different "adsense" ..and you have no way to tell what they see ..
A huge amount of the increased traffic ( your ) visitors ..may very well be opted in by default ..(
I don't think this whole "personalized search" thing is anywhere near that point.
If it were, we could all create boring sites about green rocks and sit back while Google delivered ads on appropriate topics for each individual visitor.
I think contextually based ads are still alive and well.
I agree, the business model is not exactly professional, since you dont even know what your cut is and you do not have (almost) any control over ads displayed. This program is mostly suited to smaller websites and Google knows that so they can take advantage of the little guy.
Just keep working on your site and one day you will also be able to escape the Google slavery.
Merry Christmas!
They can charge somebody $10 a click and not pay you anything.
This is far from being correct. As a publisher you have a revenue sharing agreement with Google. Calculations indicate the share is close to 60%.
If they can't continue to grow through increased ad sales, then they can easily cut expenses and publishers are the easiest target.
Disagree, Google wants to extend its reach, and that means attracting more publishers. Google is highly profitable for two reasons:
Their content network offers advertisers higher quality than other networks. Google works hard to maintain the integrity of this network.
Google pays more than other networks because they want premium publishers. If they started to cut back on revenue sharing, they can increase profits in the short term, but lose market share in the long term. Google is too smart to play that game.
I've seen this same issue myself, whereby my traffic increased and my eCPM went down. What I found was that the new traffic stream had a lower CTR and it was also going to pages that traditionally paid less. Also, if the quality of the traffic is low, then this should be expected.
Their content network offers advertisers higher quality than other networks.
Also, if the quality of the traffic is low, then this should be expected.
That might be true, but why aren't they just stating the conditions like "you get 60% of the CPC if you use adsense" or even become contractual on a state share?
Do you advertise how much money you make on each sale or broadcast your margins to competitors?
cangoou - I looked at some of your other recent posts. Back in September you asked:
Is there a way to see if you got an (O)OOP?
Back in June you observed:
It seems a lot of people (me including) are suffering a kind of "my domain is gone but only for some keywords"-thing.
Back in May, you wondered:
I got some top10-sites that dropped to 50+ as well a week ago, but are now coming back to 20-30. How long is it since your site has been dropping?
Maybe this is the reason you're having trouble?
Do you advertise how much money you make on each sale or broadcast your margins to competitors?
Don't get me wrong: As I said I like AdSense, it's easy, it fits to your site, but this year is just strange and I'm still trying to find an explanation for it.
Maybe this is the reason you're having trouble?
And it's not only me: I know some other big sites (with traffic I can only dream off) suffering the same problems not knowing what had happened. But nobody is complaining because they fully depend on AdSense.
Ideally I would like to know what the cpc is for each advertiser on my site. This way you can block the lowest paying ads. Google states that the system shows the best performing ads yielding the highest ecpm, but it would be nice to have the ability to run your own tests by blocking certain advertisers. Perhaps this is why they don't allow publishers this freedom. Google wants to be the only one making those decisions. Perhaps they fear that with this type of freedom everyone will begin blocking every 2 cent advertiser out there.
In my opinion, if you think that Google are not honest... leave. Otherwise, shut up and accept what you get.
Say you don't think your boss is honest, but you need the job. Should you shut up and accept what you get?

[edit reason] fixed formatting [/edit]
Say you don't think your boss is honest, but you need the job. Should you shut up and accept what you get?
I work for nobody but myself. So I am my own boss.
Job ? what's that ? Not had one of them in years. Got out of the rat race ages ago.
But to answer your question... When I worked, I looked at what the job was, what it paid, and location. If it didn't tick all three boxes, I didn't apply for the job. Simple as that.
And just like any job, there is a contract in place. You agreed to those terms when you sign up. If you do not agree to those terms, you didn't get the job.
Pretty simple.
Same with Adsense... you agreed with those terms. If you no longer agree with those, then you know what you can do, yes ?
If Google gives you a better CPM than you can get elsewhere, sue them. It Google does not, then switch.
There are reasons why you might get higher traffic and lower CPMs. You might find clues looking at how people got there: even if it is mostly search engine traffic, look at what they searched for. Less commercial terms perhaps?
It's a bit more complex than that. You don't have much choice on today's web, you don't get to choose your job much. Google is a monopoly in web search traffic and nobody can live without it. Even if you don't depend on google, their traffic is valuable and nobody gives it up.
AdSense has a contract, yes. Is it fair? Is it ethical? Can we verify Google's information? Those are valid questions, IMHO he should not "shut up", because those are questions that benefit all webmasters. Transparency is never a bad thing.
IMHO he should not "shut up", because those are questions that benefit all webmasters. Transparency is never a bad thing.
The "shut up" comment was not aimed at anyone in particular. Like I said, either leave if you do not like the agreement, or you (the public) shut up and accept it. There's no point whining on about it.
The fewer impression we assign to adSense the higher eCPM we see. Every time we assign more traffic to adSense, the eCPM goes down.
You're describing something in simple economics known as supply and demand.
If your advertisers have limited budgets and there's a small supply of ad space available the cost of that ad space goes up, therefore the highest bidders are winning the sale.
When your supply of ad space radically increases, like 10x, then there's room for the smaller bidders to get into the game as well.
Keep in mind, your competitors traffic also probably just increased 10x if it's a seasonal thing and if they use adsense as well you're really dealing with a massive increase in ad space with possibly no additional ad budgets.
If the traffic isn't estimated to result in ROI for advertisers then smart pricing kicks in.
Not to mention the fact that the source of all that traffic can also invoke smart pricing depending on where it comes from and whether it typically results in sales.
This is what analytics are for, so you can compare what's happening with your site at 10x vs the rest of the year and get a better understanding of what that traffic means.
Drilling down into the data you should be able to identify which sources pay the best and then you have a full year to work on SEM in order to increase your traffic from the highest paying sources.
Understanding how all these variables impact your site makes it much easier to maintain a stable level of income year after year.
Otherwise, it's much easier to blame Google for "stealing" your money.
Ohter advertising-forms (like pay per view or pay per sale) tell you exactly what you get for 1000 views or a sale of 100$.
If they're so much better, why don't you use them?
My guess is they pay squat.

The Ads Preferences manager:
(Frankly I didn't know this existed and I'm a publisher)
By the way, bashing someone who is reporting a very statistically significant change seems like a waste of time to me.
He saw a big change, this could mean Google has a problem that is significant. I've been with Adsense since 2003, and Adsense has had many, many technical and conceptual problems. This post may indicate yet another.
So anyway here's the hypothesis.
Google has introduced interest based ads. What might be a problem with this?
Hmmm. Employees who work all day doing their employer's bidding, and also occasionally shopping for their personal needs at the work place. Purchasing agents do the shopping for work place needs. What ads will the employees see all day long? Work related! The conversion rate for the interest based ads will be awful! The employee will not see ads that are interesting to him for his Christmas shopping!
And not very many people shop at work (Ha).
So maybe "interest based advertising" which is on by default for all Adsense publishers is not a very good idea in a significant number of cases.
Makes me think about turning if off!
I've seen this same issue myself, whereby my traffic increased and my eCPM went down. What I found was that the new traffic stream had a lower CTR and it was also going to pages that traditionally paid less. Also, if the quality of the traffic is low, then this should be expected.
I agree with BillyS and it must be that people are simply too angry with whats happening to sit down and research the problem. Theres always a fix to your problem and if you take time to research and solve it then your laughing. You got this far didn't you?
So maybe "interest based advertising" which is on by default for all Adsense publishers is not a very good idea in a significant number of cases.
Makes me think about turning if off!
They're going to still see ads based on their past activities while they are looking at pages on your site. So, if the kids share the home computer and have been searching for the Widget Doll Collection, chances are Dad will be seeing ads based on those searches while he's searching your landscape and garden site.
At least, that's my understanding, and I asked in another thread and several respected posters verified that was correct.
If people aren't clicking on ads on a site, it could very well be the ads being shown are no longer relevant for the particular individual using the computer at that particular time. Seems to be a pretty serious flaw in the theory to me.
Google changes their contract very often.
For the uninformed, outside of the USA, backed up by 30+ years of personal business experience.
It's a USA phenomenon. They [USA] have always made up the rules as they have gone along.
Lot's of folks here will not like that, but it is "TRUE"
Need's to be said from time to time as a reminder. So newcomers know the game plan. As I said earlier:
"Backed up by 30+ years of personal business experience".

The Vault: Hunter S. Thompson, Part V
Since the 1960s, Hunter S. Thompson made his bones by writing about Fear and Loathing when it comes to politics, motorcycle gangs, guns and Las Vegas. So it's really not fair that he was also a top-rate, mad-dog sports columnist, even in the twilight of his fevered career. Here is a sampling from ESPN.com's Page 2 Vault:
This essay on the dynastic fortunes of the Oakland Raiders on the eve of their Super Bowl against the Bucs almost has the feel of what an HST-produced "30 For 30" special on Raider Nation might look like. Working title: "Straight Outta Gonzo."
"The Last Super Bowl" (Jan. 20, 2003)
"How many draft picks did the Raiders get for Jon Gruden?" I wondered aloud. "Many," said a voice from behind me. "They also got enough money to pay off many signing bonuses. Al Davis will rule forever."
Which may be true. The Raiders dynasty is already a fact, whether they win or lose on Sunday, and the dynasty is moving in full harvest mode. Stand back. Prepare to salute and pay tribute ... That is how Davis and his people are seeing it, anyway, and I think I agree with them. This is a serious football team, folks.
Maybe someday the Washington Redskins will do something on the field that would make sports writers praise owner Daniel Snyder's leadership. But given the team's geographic proximity to the D.C. power structure, Thompson imagines a man who is operating the team as a means to a larger end.
"Stadium Living in the New Age" (Oct. 2, 2001)
The Redskins owner has been called many things -- from a treacherous greedhead to a savage jackass -- but he is rarely called a fool. Snyder is a high-rolling businessman in Washington D.C., the crossroads of power and politics in a nation of dangerously frustrated warriors who love football and hunger for personal Security. It is a nervous climate for businessmen: They crave a solution -- and Daniel M. Snyder thinks he has one. All he needs now is a proper market for it.
That is where the Redskins come in. The team itself is a loss leader, a pawn in Snyder's larger scheme -- which is to lure confused rubes into his futuristic football stadium and sell them highly secure space, where they can relax and be entertained in peace and personal comfort for as long as they feel afraid.
Can Hunter watch the Yankees-Diamondbacks World Series in peace with his friends in his Colorado compound? The answer is no.
"The Yankees are Dead; Long Live the Yankees" (Nov. 6, 2001)
That evil warpo from up the road appeared at my door on Sunday night and asked if he could watch Game 7 of the World Series with us. He said he wanted to bet big money on the New York Yankees, because he felt so sorry for them. "They are incredibly brave men," he said "But there is no dishonor in losing to better and braver men."
Whoops, I thought, welcome to the night train. This is the same suspicious pervert I've been watching 24 hours a day for the past month with nothing to show for it -- why is he suddenly knocking on my door and begging to gamble on baseball?
Thompson has offered many a cautionary tale about how his sports gambling can go awry. But when pulling a "Scared Straight" on his readers, there's no better mark to lecture about than Ol' Saint Nick.
"Gambling Fever" (Dec. 25, 2000)
If Santa Claus had a gambling habit, he would have been dead a long time ago. There are a lot of Criminal Psychos between here & the North Pole, and they would show no mercy on a goofy old man who gets loaded one night a year and drives around through strange neighborhoods with a truckload of jewelry & furs & gold Rolexes. What if the Hell's Angels got their hands on him? They would set him on fire & stuff him head-first down a smoking chimney. Which is not much different from how Professional gamblers treat their victims at Xmas time, which also happens to be the end of the football season & the start of Playoff frenzy that will build & grow & throb like a Shark's heart for 33 more days until Super Bowl Sunday.
Yes sir, this is Harvest time for Bookies, and Fleecing time for Rubes. When a gambler looks down on a hotel lobby crowded with whooping football Fans, he sees a flock of bleating Sheep -- dumb beasts, ready for fleecing & slaughtering. It makes him crazy with hunger. He throws back his head & howls like a Jackal in heat.

Talk:Italian aircraft carrier Cavour
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
The Cavour number is "550", not "552", see [1], [2]. By the way the italian navy not use the "C" prefix: Giuseppe Garibaldi (C 551) is Giuseppe Garibaldi (551), see [3]. --Il palazzo 17:42, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- Photographs on Italian Navy official website http://www.marina.difesa.it/programmi/portaerei.htm. --Il palazzo 14:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't have time to go into this in depth at the moment, but the quoted sources in the article do not appear to meet Wikipedia';s reliable sources policy, in particular the first two appear to be self-published web sites without any indication of their authorship. - Nick Thorne talk 02:01, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
Cavour home port[edit]
The article states that Cavour was never moved to Taranto because that port is too shallow, however Google Earth currently (Nov 2013)shows both Garibaldi and Cavour exactly there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 19:25, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Many years ago, someone added CVS to this article, which is a retired US Hull code for Antisubmarine Aircraft Carrier. (Does the Italian Navy use obsolete American hull codes? Don't they use pennant numbers?) Anyway, in 2008, CVS was changed to CVH, by an IP user who is longer around. CVH was not linked to anything, there was no edit summary, no apparent consensus for the addition, and no apparent source to support it. From what I understand, CVH isn't even a real code. Further to this, in 2010, CVH was added to another part of the article, again by a IP user who is no longer around. Again, there was no edit summary, no consensus, no reference... but this time, CVH was linked to a disambiguation page, where it seems CVH was simply added as WP:OR, buy another IP user who is from the same IP range as the 2010 one... and of course, this one disappeared around the same time as well. In short, while it has managed to stay below the radar for quite awhile, CVH does not belong in this article.
@BilCat:, I'm hoping we can work together on this. Yes, it's a relatively minor issue, but as they say... "baby steps". You reverted my edit for the reason that it was "unexplained". I'm hoping that, now that I have provided an explanation, you will see clear to reverting my edits back into place. Thanks - theWOLFchild 10:23, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
- note: (to anyone) - it appears that this issue will be addressed here. Please comment on that thread, instead of on this page. - theWOLFchild 14:27, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
- update: still see page noted above - theWOLFchild 15:16, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Ladders damage cars on Interstate 89April 28,2013Vehicles damaged
by ladders on I-89
SHARON — Extension ladders that somehow ended up in the middle of the Interstate 89 northbound lane Friday afternoon damaged two vehicles but caused no injuries, according to Vermont State Police.
Police were called to a section of the divided highway near mile marker 15 just before 5:30 p.m. after two vehicles struck the ladders.
Police didn't say how the items came to be in the roadway, but indicated it may have been unintentional.
While the damage to the two cars was minimal, police said reminded motorists that failing to properly secure items while driving on public highways could result in a ticket and fine of up to $1,191.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Social media is continually evolving, and thereby can be little tricky to decipher. Most brands claim to have understood this nature of social media; however the big elephant in the room is, when it comes to generating revenue- they only satisfy themselves with few "Likes" and odd "Shares".The role of a Social Media Manager is one of the most important and crucial one for the business's strong online and social presence.

There are two different types of Target math, our name for the unusual ways that stores calculate bulk and sale prices. One type is when a "sale" price is higher than a product's regular price, which is not the normal definition of the word "sale." The other is when a bulk package of an item costs more per item than just buying it individually. Now we've discovered a new form: random numbers pulled in from nowhere. [More]
More Examples Of Target Math: They Never Said It Was "On Sale"
Campbell's Soup Insists They Really Do Know How Percentages Work
What is going on in this photo? These are two identical cans of soup, except for what it says on the banner at the top of the label. Only one says that it's 30% bigger than the standard 10.75 ounce size, and the other says that it's 40% bigger. Both cans are the same size, so how can both cans be true? [More]
When Life Makes Too Much Sense, Just Apply Target Math
Here is how buying in bulk is supposed to work: you go to the store. You buy a multi-pack of an item, so the retailer makes more money from your shopping trip. In turn, the retailer charges you less for the multi-pack than you normally would have paid. That's how this works…except when stores apply Target Math. [More]
Target Learns To Round Up, Or Is Maybe Just Confused
This fan at Target has a regular price of $15.99, but was advertised in the chain's circular as $16. "Apparently they are proud to advertise a $0.01 price hike," writes tipster Bob. Is that it? Or has Target started to round prices up in order to make them more logical? [More]
Target: You Must Pick One Discount With Your Wii U. Only One
Silly Justin: he thought that because Target advertised two different promotions for the Wii U he bought, he would get to take advantage of both of them. Nope. He learned that he could have $25 off or $10 off, but not both. [More]
USPS Is Not Encouraging You To Buy Christmas Stamps In June
Maybe it was a terrible mixup or an employee prank. We'll probably never know why a poster advertising Christmas stamps suddenly appeared in the window at reader Chris's local post office in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, but we're kind of relieved to know that it was not part of a massive Christmas Creep marketing push. [More]
Walmart Weather Radio Pricing Less Awful Than It Appears
Reader N. was shopping in the weather station section at Walmart when he noticed something odd. Hanging on the same rack were two different variations on the same weather radio. You could buy the radio for $29.88, or buy the radio with a little carabiner flashlight included for $49.94. Wait, what? [More]
Spend $5 Extra To Get $5 Gift Card At Target
Target is a successful retailer, which is impressive considering the company's collective poor grasp of math. Reader Mireille was shopping for diapers there and spotted an interesting deal on diapers. If customers bought two boxes and paid $2.50 above the listed price on the shelf tag for each, they would get a $5 gift card. Wait, what? [More]
Target Promotion: $2 Gift Card When You Buy 5 Or $5 When You Buy 2
It's not that we want to make fun of Target and their shelf tags stuffed with fuzzy math. We can't help it. If only Target would try applying some logic to the signs it posts in its stores, we would stop posting those signs here on the site. [More]
Apply For A Quicken Loans FHA Mortgage: No FHA Products Allowed
The Federal Housing Administration insures mortgages, which makes it easier and more affordable for people to buy homes. That's good. Quicken Loans happens to be an FHA lender, which is also good. What's kind of confusing, though, is how the web page where you start your FHA loan application explicitly exempts FHA loans. Sort of. [More]

Put A Bird And A Price Tag On It: Fuzzy Math In The Wild
Usually, retailers lower the price of an item per unit when you buy more of it. For example, a gallon of juice costs much less per unit than a single-serving bottle. When this system falls apart, and it frequently does, we call it "fuzzy math." [More]
Michaels Employee Clarifies Confusing Clearance Sign
Earlier this week, we showed you a picture of a clearance sign from a Michaels store that didn't make a whole lot of sense. The yellow and black sign happily declared "CLEARANCE, 70% off," but the fine print clarified that the clearance didn't apply to clearance items. We get it if a "70% lowest ticketed price" clearance doesn't apply to items on sale, but not to items that are on clearance in the first place. As it turns out, this sign seemed wacky because it is.
Tipster N. is a Michaels employee who stepped forward to defend truth, logic, and the craft mega-chain's pricing policies. It turns out that reader Kim probably should have received 70% off the item, just because that's how Michaels rolls.
Target Hikes Price Ten Cents, Brags About It In Sale Flyer
Maybe the price of these lice kits is just up a bit due to supply and demand. Or maybe there's some other perfectly logical reason why the product was featured in a sale flyer….even though, as George notes, the price has been hiked ten cents. [More]
Comcast Is Very Concerned About Your Cocker Spaniels
David is a little confused. First, because received a Comcast bill for two months of service, even though he already submitted a payment. Second, because some denizen of Kabletown has started turning ordinary customer service e-mails in to Mad Libs. Or spell check has gone horribly awry. Or…actually, we're not quite sure what's going on here. [More]
Hotel Issues Refund, Priceline Keeps All Of The Money
Wynn could use the services of a Priceline negotiator. He booked a stay at a Marriott through Priceline, but due to some confusion, the hotel put the price of the entire stay on his credit card. The hotel promised Wynn a refund of the incorrect charge, and didn't end up charging Priceline for the hotel stay, either. That was incredibly nice of them, but leaves Wynn with a problem: Priceline still charged him, and simply kept all of the money. [More]
In Search Of The Mythical 10% Additional Borders Discount
Do you live near a closing Borders store? Did you receive an e-mail last week promising 10% off in addition to rewards-card discount and liquidation markdowns? Devin did, and he and other customers were frustrated when Borders employees wouldn't give him the discount promised in the e-mail. Except the message didn't promise any additional discount. Or maybe it did. [More]

3-D interconnect techniques in multilayer very large scale integration design, such as stacked layers and various chip-stacking systems, have paved the way for the improvement of integrated circuit density and operation speed. However, these techniques often accompany with impedance discontinuities that induce signal integrity (SI)/power integrity and electromagnetic interference effects. Consequently, SI analysis serves as one of the key guidelines of chip-package-board design in deep submicrometer technology. However, full-wave numerical analysis of 3-D high-speed and high-density interconnects is also considered to be a great challenge. In this paper, a nonconformal domain decomposition method with second-order transmission condition for SI analysis of high-speed interconnects on a multiscale multilayer printed circuit board is presented. The accuracy and robustness of the proposed method are first witnessed by modeling a six-layer two-trace differential pair. Then we study a 14-layer 16-trace interconnect model to demonstrate the efficiency of the method. Eye diagrams of the two models are also presented in the time-domain SI analysis.

Satu (Finnish) is a creative person. Since "satu" is Finnish for "fairy tale" you could expect your daughter to be a brilliant writer if you name her Satu. And what a princess every Satu turns out to be, even though they tend to have some coldness in them. Although a Satu is a very social person, she needs time of her own to disappear in the rabbitholes of fiction. A true escapist, hopeless dreamer. And isn't a Satu just dreamy?

Hi all,
I have a "glossary" page which is basically an alphabet across the top, with letters (each linking to a named anchor) and words (again, each as a named anchor) beneath their appropriate letter.
Now the odd part.
Let's say I have a word "Regulation T" (named anchor is 'regulation-t') just a bog standard anchor - and a bunch of text explaining what Regulation T is, and a URL...just your ordinary common hyperlink...pointing outside the site. (in this case to the Federal Reserve site). The puzzling problem is that the hyperlink isn't clickable! It doesn't go anyplace, doesn't show up in the browser status bar...nothing. It looks like a hyperlink sure enough, but won't launch a new page.
If anyone wants to check out this baffling behavior, it can be seen here: http://www.dogshit.eu/glossary/#regulation-t
Sure would appreciate any suggestions. Flames would be OK too if it would help solve the problem! :D
Regards & TIA,

Acting Your Age
Chased through Six Days, Seven Nights by predictably swarthy, gun-wielding bad guys, Harrison Ford's gruff pilot Quinn admits to feeling "a little bit" scared. His companion, an ostensibly saucy magazine editor played by Anne Heche, refuses to hear him, demanding that he be her "courageous captain." Quinn snorts and retorts, in so many mocking words: "I thought men were supposed to embrace their 'feminine side.'"
An insignificant moment in a silly movie. Yet I keep sorting through the layers of this 1998 movie humor, beginning with the unsubtle conflation of "female" and "fearfulness." Then there's the 30-year age difference between the actors, which emphasizes Ford's air of competence and Heche's ornamental beauty. And the way their interplay echoes that of Ford and Karen Allen in Raiders of the Lost Ark--except that those 1981 characters were nearly equals in age, competence, and beauty. An absence haunts this scene, informs it--the absence of Allen and other actresses her age. Quinn's derision is really addressed to them, to the generation of women who revived and popularized American feminism. Look, his line says, you've been replaced with more pliable babe-age, and all your fierce theory has been reduced to laughable pop-psych babble.
The advance press on Six Days, Seven Nights concerned Heche's inappropriateness for the role due to her lesbian relationship, not her age. I'd call that fuss a mere smoke screen, if it weren't also such a savage bit of veiled intimidation: a warning to young actresses (and young women) to stick with playing pretty foils to $20 million old men and not bond with other women where they might find that their paychecks don't add up to much either. In the 30 years since feminists first waved the stats, the amount a woman earns for every dollar made by a man has risen 10 whopping cents to a reportedly precarious (just wait for the next recession) $.79. No wonder Heche's Robin whimsically defaults on her job to have sex--and, it's implied, babies--with Quinn, who does not choose to so default.
Last week I read a 438-page book titled What Are We Fighting For? Sex, Race, Class, and the Future of Feminism (St. Martin's). Feminist writer and pioneer science-fiction novelist Joanna Russ began work on this tome in 1985, and in many ways it shows its age, and hers. Russ did not envision, for instance, that late capitalism might suck up the '80s feminist notion of empowerment and spit it out as a "saucy" heroine who may knock out criminals but still knocks herself out for her man. She didn't imagine that gay pride could be marketed, sold, and assimilated as an aesthetic, a look, a rainbow-flag coffee cup. She credits conservative backlash efforts for the vacuum that used to be a movement, completely missing the fact that "liberal" popular culture has transformed political activism into a lifestyle product choice. Her analysis doesn't even begin to account for Xena: Warrior Princess.
Precisely because of its datedness, though, Russ's feet-on-the-ground, stubbornly materialist socialism can invigorate like a dip in icy water. She cares less about what people buy--and what political dissent those choices supposedly represent--than whether they can afford to buy anything. She values cultural images of racial interrelationship less than knee-to-knee ill communication. "Deeds, not words," Russ writes, and she means that lots of articles about the New Fathering don't matter a whit when the work week of U.S. female housemakers, with or without outside employment, averages 15 hours more than their husbands'.
To equalize labor worldwide--and account for women's economically invisible "domestic" labor--men would have to increase their workload by a third. Who would willingly do this, Russ queries without sarcasm. Our current state of gender inequality, she claims, is not an ideology that can be combatted with ideas (or with purchased product, I would add). It is an economic system that benefits men. Even the poorest men do not work as long hours as the women who live with them. Especially, writes Russ, if you count the emotional labor of monitoring, supporting, and knitting together men's psyches.
This is another point, however, when What Are We Fighting For? strikes me as mulishly doctrinaire. The night of the last big storm, I attended a wedding. The bride is older and earns more money than the groom. I know, because I have seen them, that this woman and man monitor, support, and knit together each other's psyches. I know, because I have seen them, that they share the work in their home.
What man would willingly do this, Russ asks. What man would, Quinn sneers, so embrace his "feminine side"? The answer, in part: a man raised by a woman, a woman Harrison Ford's age. Deeds, not words.

"Gold Field Mining Town" Goldfield by Azonie
Goldfield Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 23 photos
Goldfield is a replica of an 1890's mining town Tourist activities include an underground mine tour, the only narrow gauge railroad operating in Arizona, the Superstition Mountain Museum and jeep tours of the Superstition Mountains. Many gift and souvenir shops also operate in Goldfield. Open daily. Goldfield is northeast of Apache Junction, about 3 miles from the intersection of AZ Hwy. 88 (The Apache Trail) and Old West Highway
I took my sister here at Christmas time one year and it was PERFECT weather..I wouldn't recommend going after April but if you do then make sure you take plenty of water. After April is when the weather gets really HOT.
When we visited the mining town there was a little snow on the Superstitions Which made it even more picturesque. You probably can't see it from this distance though.
- Pros:Lots of fun for everyone!
- Cons:None that I found
- In a nutshell:Just a fun place to visit all the way around.

Active Directory Administrative Tasks
Updated: December 5, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
As mentioned earlier, Active Directory management can be separated into service and data management.
Data management includes such tasks as creating and managing user and computer accounts, security groups, and application-specific data, all of which are stored in Active Directory. In certain cases, a small subset of tasks might involve the modification of Group Policy settings to affect the configuration state of member computers. Creation of user accounts and modification of group memberships are both examples of data management tasks.
Data management tasks include, but are not limited to, managing the following Active Directory content:
User accounts, which represent the identities of people who use the network.
Computer accounts, which represent the computers that are joined to domains in the Active Directory forest.
Security groups, which are used to aggregate accounts for the purpose of authorizing access to resources.
Application-specific attributes for Active Directory–enabled and –integrated applications, such as Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003.
Service management tasks are tasks that are related to the creation and maintenance of Active Directory configuration data. For example, adding a domain controller to a child domain, associating a new subnet to a site, and extending the Active Directory schema are all Active Directory service management administrative tasks that effect changes to configuration data. A majority of Active Directory configuration data is stored in Active Directory itself. However, certain aspects of Active Directory behavior can or must be configured on a domain controller. The configuration data that is associated with these tasks might be stored in the registry or file system of domain controllers.
Service management includes, but is not limited to, the following administrative tasks:
Adding and removing domain controllers.
Managing and monitoring replication.
Ensuring the proper assignment and configuration of operations master roles.
Performing regular backups of the directory database.
Configuring forest-wide Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) settings.
Managing domain and domain controller security policies.
Configuring directory service parameters, such as setting the functional level of a forest or putting the directory in the special List-Object security mode.
For a comprehensive list of administrative tasks involved in Active Directory service and data management, see Appendix A: Active Directory Administrative Tasks in Best Practices for Delegating Active Directory Administration: Appendices, which accompanies this document. For an overview of the categories of administrative tasks, see Chapter 3: Delegating Service Management and Chapter 4: Delegating Data Management later in this document.
