Debt Crises Not Only Blame For Equity Market Woes
European equity markets have taken a battering over the past month.
Even so, it's hard to argue they offer compelling value, especially across the euro zone's periphery.
Although the latest bout of Europe's sovereign debt crisis tends to be blamed for the European equity market's woes, it's not at all clear this is the case. Rather, it seems trans-Atlantic trends remain Europe's primary drivers, as has been the case so often during recent years.
Nor is the U.S. market dropping because of slowing global growth; instead, it seems likely it is responding to the end of the Federal Reserve's latest round of quantitative easing, according to Stephen Lewis, an economist at Monument Securities. The equity market, he argues, is behaving in much the same way as it did when the Fed's first round of quantitative easing finished in March 2010. Equities kept rising for about three weeks after the end of the Fed's asset purchases—around the time it takes recipients of the Fed's money to reallocate their investments—and then started to tank. During that time, equities ignored increasingly glum economic news, only reacting when the flow of funds dried up.
This is relevant for Europe. If European equity markets are largely being driven by U.S. events, it's hard to argue that they've fully incorporated Europe's specific economic risks.
For example, German equity valuations are at a seemingly big discount of 24% to U.S. valuations. Except that Germany has, for whatever reason, historically traded at a discount of around 21%, according to Capital Economics, a consultancy.
Even banking, the sector that ought to be the most sensitive to Europe's debt problems, isn't doing any worse in Europe than it is in the U.S. In dollar terms, European financials are down 12.5% the year to date, compared with a 10% drop in S&P 500 financials by Wednesday's close.
Nor is there an enormous amount of valuation dispersal within Europe.
Despite some of the dramatic relative market movements recently—the DJ Stoxx 600 is down 12% on the start of the year, with Italy down 19% and Spain just 12% —valuations on price-earnings multiples are relatively tightly bound. The Italian market is trading on roughly nine times expected 2011 earnings, Spain is on 10 times and Germany is at the European average of 10.7 times, according to BoA Merrill.
What's more, most of these divergences are related to a difference in sectoral composition between the national markets. Some countries have particularly high weightings in some sectors – Spain and Italy in financials and utilities, Germany in industrials and autos–and low in others–Germany in oil, for instance. That financials have performed poorly and industrials relatively well lately explains a substantial amount of the performance differential between Europe's individual equity markets.
The net effect is that so far this year, the Portuguese and Irish markets have outperformed France and Italy, according to Standard & Poor's data.
But investors are starting to notice country effects again, even if they're not being fully priced in.
During the 1990s, there were considerable differences in equity ratings between European countries. But those largely disappeared with the introduction of the euro in 1999, in much the same way that spreads between sovereign bonds across the single-currency region converged on Germany's low rates.
"For the last 10 or 15 years, the [investment] approach in Europe has been to look at pan-European sectors. But the last two years have changed these assumptions quite dramatically," says Patrik Schöwitz, European equity strategist at BoA Merrill.
Investors are once again factoring in individual country effects. Although high-quality companies in peripheral euro-zone countries get borrowing terms of which their governments could only dream, they still pay higher yields than firms in similar industries in northern Europe. In part that's because investors worry hard-up countries will increasingly tap their domestic businesses in order to raise funds.
For instance, telecoms have performed particularly badly this year because investors see them as quasi-national firms.
And where sectors are particularly sensitive to domestic economic trends, like consumer goods, they've underperformed across the peripheral economies.
But these effects are still relatively modest. As the economic landscape continues to diverge across Europe, equities in peripheral countries are likely to do particularly badly.
That's not to say the core will do particularly well.
German nonfinancial shares are trading at around 17 times their 10-year average earnings—a valuation method that tries to reduce the impact of earnings cycles—according to data from Capital Economics. The long-run average for German shares is just over 16 times, though this is probably skewed by tech-bubble valuations that took the German market to peak valuations of nearly 40 times adjusted earnings in early 2000 and the fact that the data series for Germany only starts in the 1970s.
If Germany followed the same longer-run trends as the U.S.—for which data go back to the 19th century—its average historic adjusted price-earnings ratio would probably be closer to 12 times. And this suggests peripheral European equities could yet have a long way to fall.

Strom Thurmond, Foe of Integration, Dies at 100
Published: June 27, 2003
(Page 3 of 4)
Backed by Gov. James F. Byrnes, a former United States Supreme Court justice and former secretary of state, Mr. Thurmond made bossism the issue and won the election as a write-in candidate. He got 143,444 votes to Mr. Brown's 82,525. But, as he had promised, he resigned in 1956 to open the primary for anyone to oppose him. No one did, and he returned that fall to the Senate, where he remained until this year.
Once in Washington, he attacked the Supreme Court decision requiring that segregation in public schools end. In 1956, with Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, he proposed a Southern manifesto, which, after various drafts, argued that the Supreme Court justices, "with no legal basis for their action, undertook to exercise their naked judicial power and substituted their personal and political ideas for the established law of the land." Nineteen of the 22 Southern senators signed — those who did not were Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas and Albert Gore and Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. The manifesto gave major encouragement for Southern delay and defiance of the court's verdict to end segregation.
In 1957, after widespread efforts by the White Citizens Council to purge blacks from Southern voting rolls, the United States attorney general, Herbert Brownell, pushed for civil rights legislation. He drew up a bill to create a civil rights commission and a civil rights division in the Justice Department and outlaw efforts to bar people from voting in federal elections. The bill's most important section would allow the attorney general to file suits to halt discrimination in voting, education and elsewhere.
Senator Russell said the bill would lead to "concentration camps" and the use of the military to "destroy the system of separation of the races in the Southern states at the point of a bayonet." But behind the scenes he worked with Senator Johnson to weaken the bill but allow it to be passed, fearing that all-out Southern opposition would turn the nation firmly against the South and foreclose Mr. Johnson's hope for the White House.
Although the fight was obviously over, Mr. Thurmond staged a one-man filibuster. He had taken steam baths to dehydrate himself so he would not have to yield the floor to go to the restroom. At 8:54 p.m. on Aug. 28, 1957, he started talking, and he did not stop until 9:12 p.m. the next day. Two hours later, the Senate passed the first civil rights bill since 1875. Other Southerners were furious at Mr. Thurmond for grandstanding, and Mr. Russell accused him of "self-aggrandizement."
Mr. Thurmond was no less committed in his condemnation of Communism and suggested, in 1962, that Communists had infiltrated the government. He called them "silent socialists" and once said: "I don't know of any right-wing extremists, as I define them, bringing harm to the government. Left-wingers have."
His support of the right was much in evidence in 1962, when he was an active participant in a special subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Committee, which held hearings on accusations that the Kennedy Administration had "muzzled" officers of the armed forces and prevented them from teaching their soldiers about the menace of Communism.
He continued to connect Communism and civil rights, calling the Freedom Riders of 1961, who sought integrated bus travel, "red pawns and publicity seekers."
Five days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963, Lyndon Johnson went to the Congress as his successor, saying that "no memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor President Kennedy's memory than the earliest possible passage of the civil rights bill for which he fought so long." The next summer Mr. Johnson, breaking a filibuster, won passage of the legislation, which prohibited discrimination in public accommodations, employment and the use of federal money. He succeeded despite the opposition of the Southerners and a handful of Republicans, including Senator Goldwater of Arizona.
After the Republicans nominated Mr. Goldwater to oppose President Johnson in the 1964 election, Mr. Thurmond switched parties and endorsed him. Mr. Thurmond condemned the Democratic Party for "leading the evolution of our country to a socialistic dictatorship," for having "forsaken the people to become the party of minority groups, power-hungry union leaders, political bosses and big businessmen looking for government contracts and favors," for invading "the private lives of the people" and for supporting "judicial tyranny."
"The party of our fathers is dead," he said.
Mr. Thurmond helped Mr. Goldwater carry the four states he himself had won in 1948. But Mr. Goldwater won only two others in the Johnson landslide.
In 1968, Mr. Thurmond, then 66 and a widower for eight years, married for the second time. His bride, Nancy Moore, a former Miss South Carolina, was 22. That marriage effectively ended in 1991 when Ms. Moore announced that she wanted "some measure of independence." They separated.
Although Mr. Thurmond had been criticized for marrying a woman much younger than he, the marriage produced four children. The oldest, Nancy Moore Thurmond, was killed by a drunken driver in 1993, a month before her graduation from college and weeks before her entry into the Miss South Carolina pageant, where she had hoped to follow in her mother's footsteps.

On July 21, 2015, in response to exceptional drought conditions, the Santa Barbara City Council voted unanimously to reactivate the Charles E. Meyer Desalination Facility. The facility will use state-of-the-art technology and design practices to reduce electrical demand and environmental impacts, while providing a critical water supply for the City.
The facility will begin supplying water in October 2016 with a production of nearly 3 million gallons per day. This is equivalent to 3,125 acre-feet of water annually or about 30% of the City's demand. At additional expense, the City has the option to expand the facility, up to the permitted capacity of 10,000 acre-feet of water annually, if drought conditions continue and additional water is needed.
The capital costs to reactivate the facility (at a capacity of 3,125 acre-feet per year) are estimated at $55 million financed over 20 years with a low 1.6% interest rate loan, which equates to $3.2 million per year in debt service. Annual operating costs are estimated to be about $4.1 million at full production and about $1.4 million in non-operation or standby mode. The facility could be put in standby mode during rainy periods to reduce operating costs.
City Council awarded IDE Americas, Inc. a design/build/operate contract to re-commission the desalination plant. The design includes a screened ocean intake structure equipped with openings of 1 mm, diluted and diffused brine discharge, and high-efficiency pumps and motors to reduce the plant's overall electrical power demands.
A lot has changed in desalination technology since the facility was built in 1991.
The reactivated facility…
Will use 40% less energy than the original design, greatly reducing its electricity demand and carbon footprint, by using high-efficiency pumps, motors and improved filter technology.
Will use ocean intake pipes equipped with wedge wire screens recognized by the State Water Resources Control Board as a best available technology for screened open ocean intakes. The screens will be made of durable copper-nickel alloy and will have 1 millimeter openings to minimize marine life entrainment and impingement.
In the face of a challenging water supply crisis in the late 1980's, the City of Santa Barbara (City) constructed a seawater desalination facility as an emergency supply. The production capacity of the facility was 7,500 acre feet per year (AFY) with the potential for expansion up to 10,000 AFY. The neighboring water districts of Montecito and Goleta contracted for entitlements of 1,250 AFY and 3,069 AFY, respectively, during the five year contract period. The City had entitlement to 3,181 AFY. All sharing of costs for construction was based on these entitlements.
After the plant was constructed, it was operated between March and June of 1992. Due to abundant rainfall in the 1991-1992 winter and subsequent winters, the City's drought condition was relieved and the desalination plant was placed into a standby mode. The $34 million total construction cost was paid off during the initial 5-year contract period by the City, Goleta Water District, and Montecito Water District, with a City share of approximately $14.5 million. However, the Goleta and Montecito Water Districts did not elect to extend or renew their interest in the facility after the initial five year contract period.
On June 4, 1991, City voters elected to make desalination a permanent part of the City's water supply portfolio. With the approval of the Long Term Water Supply Program on July 5, 1994 (LTWSP1994) the City added the desalination facility to its permanent sources of water. An Environmental Impact Report on the LTWSP1994 was certified on May 24, 1994. On October 15, 1996, the California Coastal Commission issued a Coastal Development Permit to the City for permanent desalination facilities up to a maximum capacity of 10,000. The permit provided for intermittent and base load operation. Due to sufficient freshwater supplies since 1991, the facility remained in long-term standby mode for reactivation when water supply demand cannot be met using all other available supplies including extraordinary water conservation.

The circumstances leading to the error were as follows: having happily run a WP blog from my home server (a Mac) for 6 months, I now want to split it (so big has it become) into two separate installations, one for each main topic. I backed up the database, did a clean install of WP 2.04 in a sub-folder of the root directory, created a new (empty) MySQL database (using CocoaMySQL-SBG), edited name and user in wp-config.php, ran wp-admin/install.php, logged in and checked it--everything looked fine--and then logged out again. I then imported the backed-up database into the new MySQL database and logged back in. (My intent had then been to delete from each of the two installations the posts belonging to the other.) It's on logging back in, however, that I get the error message: "Your database is out-of-date. Please upgrade". Despite much fiddling, I can't get the new installation to reset the paths in the database (I'd figured that changing the URI in Options > General would update the paths in the old DB? but it seems not to, with the "upgrade" link pointing to the URI for the original installation) Any ideas? Thanks!

A NATION CHALLENGED: THE RESPONSE; F.B.I. Did Not Test Letters to NBC Or Immediately Notify City Hall
By JENNIFER STEINHAUER and JIM DWYER
Published: October 13, 2001
Although the F.B.I. was notified on Sept. 25 about suspicious letters sent to NBC, neither the letters, nor the powder residue inside them were tested until nearly two weeks later, and then only because a private doctor notified city public health officials about a troubling skin condition in the news assistant who had handled the mail, officials acknowledged yesterday.
In fact, the F.B.I. laboratory neither performed nor sought any tests on the powder or the skin samples taken from the employee, identified as Erin M. O'Connor, a 38-year-old assistant to Tom Brokaw.
''That, unfortunately, did not take place,'' said Barry W. Mawn, assistant director in charge of the F.B.I.'s New York office.
He also said the agents had intended to interview Ms. O'Connor soon after they learned of the case, but did not, for reasons he did not explain.
F.B.I. officials said investigators picked up the envelopes on Sept. 26, the day after NBC security officials called the agency. New York City officials were not informed of the preliminary inquiry until days later.
Indeed if the Health Department had not been alerted to the case by a private doctor, it might well have hibernated in the F.B.I. files.
Mr. Mawn said yesterday that the agency had to investigate dozens of threats, scares and false alarms, and that is how this case was initially treated. Since Sept. 11, when the two planes slammed into the World Trade Center, city and federal law enforcement officials have received hundreds of reports of menace and foul play ranging from bomb threats to chemical attack scares.
The discovery of a case of apparently deliberate anthrax poisoning in the heart of New York City is just the latest in a string of terrifying events that have challenged the law enforcement and health care infrastructure in the last month. It pushed health care officials to nail down a pathogen that most of them had no experience with.
And it once again tested the fragile relationship that has always existed between the New York City Police Department and the F.B.I., agencies that are forced to work in tandem on unprecedented and constantly evolving crimes.
''Information sharing between the F.B.I. and the N.Y.P.D. has always been poor,'' said one person who has worked closely with both agencies. ''There is often a lack of willingness on the F.B.I.'s part to share information, although it is getting better. As they move forward, clearly the F.B.I. is going to have to be more forthcoming.''
In this case, Mr. Mawn said, the gravity of the situation was not fully appreciated by the federal authorities until recently.
On Sept. 25., Ms. O'Connor handled a letter postmarked from St. Petersburg, Fla., filled with white powder, according to law enforcement officials. She also handled a second letter containing a sandy substance. Network officials, immediately suspicious, called the F.B.I., which picked up the letters the next day.
Then, the agency began to prepare a cover letter for its own laboratory indicating that the substances needed to be tested, but the letter was never completed and the evidence was never sent from the F.B.I.'s office in New York to its laboratory, said Joseph Valiquette, an F.B.I. spokesman.
He added that some delays happened because investigators were unable to interview Ms. O'Connor to supplement the cover letter. ''We wanted to send a complete package to the laboratory,'' said Mr. Valiquette. So none of it was sent. Mr. Valiquette said he did not know why the F.B.I. could not speak with Ms. O'Connor, who works in Rockefeller Plaza and lives in the metropolitan area.
On Sept. 28, Ms. O'Connor developed a strange sore on her chest. Nervous, she went to see Dr. Richard Fried, a Manhattan infectious disease specialist, said Dr. Annetta Kimball, the doctor covering for Dr. Fried, who could not be reached last night.
Armed with the description of the rash -- which she described as central scarring surrounded by a lot of swelling -- the doctor likely consulted his textbooks to nail down what was going on. Dr. Kimball said that Dr. Fried suspected that his patient had been exposed to anthrax, and immediately prescribed Cipro.
''There is a good chance he had never seen anthrax before,'' said Dr. Kimball. ''This is New York City, not an agricultural area.'' He also took cultures from a wound Ms. O'Connor developed, but those swabs were negative for anthrax, she said.
At some point, officials and Dr. Kimball said, the patient visited a dermatologist.
One of those doctors notified the city's Health Department on Oct. 6 of a possible case of anthrax. The city has among the most sophisticated epidemiologists and public health labs in the country.
Mr. Valiquette said that the F.B.I. learned from the city's Health Department that ''this was an issue.'' The substance eventually made its way to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, which went to unusual lengths to identify it. There was little powder to work with, and a power failure in the lab halted the work for nearly a day, said Dr. James M. Hughes of the C.D.C.
''None of this ever did go to the F.B.I. lab,'' he said.

Tesco Hires M&S Finance Chief Stewart to Bolster Clarke Team
Tesco Plc recruited Marks & Spencer Group Plc Chief Financial Officer Alan Stewart as the U.K.'s biggest supermarket owner taps the country's largest clothing retailer to shore up its executive team.
Stewart, 54, will join after contractual obligations with Marks & Spencer have been met, Cheshunt, England-based Tesco said today in a statement. He will replace Laurie McIlwee, whose departure was announced in April amid reports of differences over strategy with Chief Executive Officer Philip Clarke.
Tesco is seeking to strengthen its leadership after the departure of six directors since Clarke took over as CEO in March 2011. The loss of Stewart is a blow for Marks & Spencer CEO Marc Bolland, who this week reported a 12th straight quarterly decline in non-food sales.
Stewart "is well-liked by the investor community and he was good at finding areas of cost cutting at M&S," said Jamie Merriman, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein in London who has known the executive for three years. "He is not really known for setting strategic direction though."
The new CFO has the depth of experience to "play a leading role in the transformation of Tesco," CEO Clarke said. Stewart's previous roles include running U.K. operations for Thomas Cook Group Plc, a tourism and travel company, and serving as CFO at companies including WH Smith Plc, a retailer of books and newspapers.
Share Performance
Stewart, a Scot who grew up in South Africa, is joining a retailer that's under increasing pressure from investors impatient with Clarke's inability to turn the business around as shoppers defect to discounters and more upscale stores, including Marks & Spencer. Tesco shares have dropped about 30 percent since Clarke took the helm three years ago and are close to a 10-year low.
"Alan Stewart was one of the likely targeted hires from the retail sector," though the company was probably looking to hire a CFO from an international consumer goods company, John Kershaw, an analyst at Exane BNP Paribas in London, said in an e-mailed note. "M&S sort of qualifies but we were expecting someone from Unilever or the like."
Clarke pleaded for more time from shareholders at the annual general meeting on June 27, saying the company is undergoing its "most radical" changes in years.
Lower Prices
He has maintained that it's impossible to beat the discounters on price and that success hinges on refreshing large stores and retraining staff. Even so, he announced in February that the retailer would invest at least 200 million pounds ($342 million) a year to lower prices on essential food items such as milk, eggs and produce.
Marks & Spencer's food business, which concentrates on upscale own-brand ready meals and fresh produce, has outperformed its clothing range. Same-store sales at the food unit advanced 1.7 percent in the first quarter, the company said July 8.
Stewart's recruitment is "a solid appointment for Tesco but an unhelpful disruption for M&S," said Richard Marwood, who helps oversee about $700 billion in assets at Axa Investment Managers in London, including Tesco and Marks & Spencer stock.
Tesco shares rose as much as 0.9 percent and were up 0.4 percent at 280.55 pence at 2:31 p.m. in London. Marks & Spencer fell 0.1 percent to 417.40 pence.
Stewart will receive a basic annual salary of 750,000 pounds and standard benefits, Tesco said. That's 30 percent more than the 579,000 pounds in basic pay he earned at M&S. He will be granted replacement share awards worth 1.74 million pounds in lieu of deferred M&S awards that he will forfeit, the grocer said.

Pamps is a great resort in southern Bulgaria, surrounded by the Rudope mountains. Lovely pine forests surround the resort and give it a wonderful atmosphere. The resort itself is purpose built and so is not full of ald world charm, but has some good hotels - by Bulgarian standards that is. Accomadation is improving all the time with many new hotels being built alonngside the older Soviet-era ones so all the accomodation is modern. The food is wholesome and simple - it is perfectly edible but may be an acquired taste - I love it! Out on the mountains many 'mahernas' will serve you grilled food and pizza. Night life is well catered for with 'Daks', and 'BJs' being the big attractions in the main centre. A short walk out of town are some traditional Bulgarian restaruants which have a great atmosphere and are worth a visit.
The ski-school is well organised, and large. English is spoken by all the instructors who take English groups - I have been to Pamps 3 times and my skiing has improved each time.
If you visit Pamps, try and get a flight through to Plovdiv. This will give you a transfer time of less than 2 hours - not the 4 hours from Sofia.
So - now the downside. In a word - SNOW!! Pamps claims to be the sunniest ski resort in Europe and as it so far south (only 30km from Greece!) its winters CAN be a bit mild. In 2005, we had 2m of snow, 2006 about 50cm and last year about 15cm! Now, if you are a beginner, this doesn't pose a problems as the resorts' green & blue runs are usually quite reliably covered. But it does limit the number of runs that skiers and snowboarders can use and so you end up with big bottle necks on the main runs. As an advanced intemediate I lost out in 2009 as we couldn't ski a full red run as they turned to grass and rock half way down!
The snow does get better late Feb and early March, that really is the time to book Pamps. Otherwise, try Bansko - its main ski area is a full 2,000m higher up than Pamps!

"Ölüdeniz" Top 5 Page for this destination Fethiye Things to Do Tip by Aurorae
Fethiye Things to Do: 124 reviews and 262 photos
Ölüdeniz is the most beautiful beach I have ever been to - especially the "nose" of the Blue Lagoon. The sea is crystal clear, warm, beach is sandy next to the promenade, and pebbles by the sea (ideal!), and in the lagoon there are tiny, miniature pebbles, almost a sand, very beautiful and pleasant to walk on. There are thick pine forests and plenty of lush vegetation in entire area, and the cololur of the water is deep blue, turquoise or diamond in the shallow waters. A real paradise!
This is Ölüdeniz from the air, I took it from a paragliding flight. :)

I have a JDO query which filters on two properties of a "Person" entity, lets call them "age" and "height". I wish to order the results by the Persons "score". However, due to the restrictions App Engine imposes I firstly have to order by age or height. So I currently have
query.setOrdering("age desc, score asc");
I am really not interested in the results being ordered by age, I just have to include that for the query to work (as I have filtered on age), I really just need the results ordered by score.
Is there a way to get the results ordered by score and effectively ignore the age ordering?

George Warhop to coach Tampa Bay O-line
By Pat Yasinskas
TAMPA, Fla. – The Buccaneers took a big step toward completing their coaching staff Saturday afternoon when they announced George Warhop will coach the offensive line.
Warhop has been an offensive line coach in the NFL since 1996, working for the Rams, Cardinals, Cowboys and 49ers. Warhop spent the past five seasons with Cleveland.
Warhop takes over a unit that underperformed much of last season and may go through some changes this offseason. There is uncertainty about the health of guard
Carl Nicks
, and tackle
Donald Penn
and guard
Davin Joseph
are getting older and carrying big salary-cap numbers.

|IRS Repeats Warning about Phone Scams
IR-2014-81, Aug. 13, 2014
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration continue to hear from taxpayers who have received unsolicited calls from individuals demanding payment while fraudulently claiming to be from the IRS.
Based on the 90,000 complaints that TIGTA has received through its telephone hotline, to date, TIGTA has identified approximately 1,100 victims who have lost an estimated $5 million from these scams.
"There are clear warning signs about these scams, which continue at high levels throughout the nation," said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. "Taxpayers should remember their first contact with the IRS will not be a call from out of the blue, but through official correspondence sent through the mail. A big red flag for these scams are angry, threatening calls from people who say they are from the IRS and urging immediate payment. This is not how we operate. People should hang up immediately and contact TIGTA or the IRS."
Additionally, it is important for taxpayers to know that the IRS:
Potential phone scam victims may be told that they owe money that must be paid immediately to the IRS or they are entitled to big refunds. When unsuccessful the first time, sometimes phone scammers call back trying a new strategy.
Other characteristics of these scams include:
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here's what you should do:
Taxpayers should be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS.
For more information or to report a scam, go to www.irs.gov and type "scam" in the search box.
More information on how to report phishing scams involving the IRS is available on the genuine IRS website, IRS.gov.

Skip to comments.Did anybody notice Hannity's jab?
Posted on 03/02/2012 6:19:30 PM PST by publius321
Did anyone notice Ann Coulter's reaction tonight when Hannity asked her opinion on whether Obama should give back the million dollars donated to his campaign by Bill Maher?
I was surprised because he prefaced the question by saying "You were friends with Maher" - referring to Coulter's old flame.
Did anyone else notice the expression she made after he said that?
It was like he subtly exposed her for the fake she is. How did Ann answer the question? Apparently not wanting to say anything negative about Maher (I wonder what he's got on HER), she changed the subject and said Barack Obama isn't going to be giving ANY money back because he's going to need every bit of it to defend himself against Mitt Romney..."
It was funny because her appearance was teased as being there to talk about Andrew Breitbart. I said to my wife and a guest with us "how long wil it take for her to stick a plug for her beloved Romney?"
We laughed.
About 3 minutes later Ann Coulter was on there shilling. I don't know if Coulter was close with Andrew but if she is - dear God - don't let her speak at his funeral because she has debased herself enough that no Romney pimping is out of bounds in her estimation.
If you did some digging into the social circles she hangs out with in New York City, you would find your answer.
Plan on watching the rerun, you did a great tease. Thanks
Ann who?
As much as Ann(orexic) Coulter has become insufferable, she did manage to point out why Maher says what he does: he's TRYING to get Hannity and others to play his outrageous statements on their highly rated shows to try to salvage his own basement ratings.
Please, don't leave us in suspense, tell us, tell us!
Ann is a closeted Log Cabin republican, IMO. I'm surprised more here haven't figured that out.
Maybe Hannity had himself a little epiphany about the true nature of Coulter, one can only hope.
Ann is a closeted Log Cabin republican, IMO
IMO, you're right.
Anyway Christy's latest flap is his strong objection to NYPD surveillance of mosques.
Is Bill Maher the Guy she's allegedly dating?Every now and then I hear Hannitty questioning Ann Coulter about her guy but she doesn't reveal much and she didn't sound thrilled to be questioned about it.
I wonder,Whats gotten into her?
I wish I knew, but I'm sure it would tell the story.
Ann Coulter, in her book Demonic, goes into some detail about the techniques for inspiring mobs in liberal behavior. According to Coulter there are three main elements to putting an idea in a crowd: affirmation, repetition, and contagion. Coulter also states that the effects take time. Affirmation is the creation of a slogan free of all reasoning and all proof.
For example: Romney is the only candidate that can beat Obama or Romney is the only candidate that has the organization to take this all the way or Newt is unelectable or Cain is unelectable or Palin is unelectable or Newt has too much baggage or, you pick one.
Coulter continues with this is one of the surest means of making an idea enter the mind of crowds. Affirmation only works if it is constantly repeated and so far as possible in the same terms. She goes on to state that the power of repetition is due to the fact that the repeated statement is embedded in the long run in those profound regions of our unconscious selves in which the motives of actions are forged. Short slogans endlessly repeated create a current of opinion allowing the powerful mechanism of contagion to operate. (Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (Dover, 2002) (1895), 69.)
So, my conclusion is that the Republican Establishment, Coulter herself, as well as many of her fellow elitists, are utilizing those same tactics on WE THE PEOPLE! And a great many of WE THE PEOPLE are falling in line.
Coulter is no better than the left she says she despises.
I didn't know she dated Maher, but I do seem to remember hearing she was dating some other liberal years back - Geraldo Rivera, maybe?
So she is a 'slut'?
"Bill Maher - referring to Coulter's old flame."
If it fits.
I saw it. Soon as Hannity mentioned Maher's name, a big smile came on her face.
Very telling.
Closet transvestite?
So well stated!
In February 2010 at CPAC, I was sitting in the audience when Ann Coulter declared the following:
"Chris Christy MUST run for President in 2012, because if Mitt Romney is our nominee Obama will have four more years."
I wonder what Ann got to make her big jump to the Romney camp??
Bill Maher!
Bill Maher!
I can remember when every posting about her had folks wanting pictures. I'm glad that rule has slid by the wayside!
Nothing, absolutely nothing.
I think you probably have that backwards.
Yeah, she and Jerry had a poodle together.
Ann is "all in" on Romney, that's for sure.
She is dead to me.
He could beat Mitt Romney with George Soros' spare pocket change.
She's UN-DEAD to me.
Zombies everywhere.
A lot of people here - - me included - - were fooled for a long time.
We thought Ann was a genuine conservative. She clearly is not. Her enthusiastic support for Mittens-the-Self-Proclaimed-Moderate, exposes her for the fraud she is.
Who hasn't figured out that the chameleon Romney will say anything to pander for votes? I mean, who hasn't figured out that the man has absolutely no core convictions, and no clue about just how frightened real conservatives are over the serious threat Ubama and the rats pose to America?
Obviously, Ann has no clue either.
$$$ or maybe Press Secretary?
Who knows...she is a media wh$re!
I liked her during the Clinton years, but I have lost all respect for her.

We went in a group of 4 last weekend. Overall, we are satisfied, but it can be better.
The ferry ride from Singapore Tanan Merah Ferry Terminal is about 35mins. After alighting at the terminal, you have to look out for the staff from the resort. Transport is provided to pick u up. We were lucky to be fetched in a car.
The check in time is 3pm sharp, no earlier. We arrived on Friday about 1pm (batam time) , and according to the reception, there is available room, but they need to "check" the room first. So we waited at the reception for more than an 1hr, still no room, then we proceed to have lunch at the restaurant. A little after 3pm, we were told room is ready. So, I suggest that you reach later in the afternoon, to avoid long wait to check in. We were also lucky to have a free upgrade to a spa villa, what a pleasant surprise :)
The villa is huge. The private pool is quite big, about 7.5m in length? Living room is huge and spacious. The master bed room is spacious, bathroom is big. 2nd bed room is comfortable with 2 single bed. All room has TV. The villa is new and clean. We also noticed two doors that are locked on the ground level. The staff said as there were only 4 of us, so there is no need to open the additional 2 rooms. Not sure what is inside.
On the first day, the aircon broke down, it was so noisy that we had to turn it off. The engineer came quickly to fix it. It became much cooler but still noisy. So we called the engineer in again. It was already quite late in the night but we didnt have to wait long for the engineer to come over. Good job here.
The breakfast is Ok. Food is also Ok, not bad. We ordered the in villa BBQ, the staff would bring a BBQ pit to the villa and cook for you. Was an interesting experience, but we just find it a little expensive.
The staff there are nice, friendly and very helpful. We want to thank Yayan for being extremely helpful.
Only thing we do not like is that there is almost nothing to do there, although there is a wii console in the living room. The main pool is quite small. Maybe the resort can add more activities. There is a bus to take you out to Nagoya city every morning at 10am, the resort is quite far away from the city, about 20mins bus ride.
Overall a nice place with helpful, friendly staff.
Another thing that is not related to the resort is that, the ferry is too small. On the way back, the ferry is overloaded. People had to stand in the boat!
And do remember to confirm your return ferry ticket with the reception in advanced!

2008 From WaPo to MoDo
posted by March 3 at 13:13 PMon
Meanwhile, as I was getting all upset (whoops, hysterical!) about Charlotte Allen's idiotic "chicks are dumb" op/ed in the Washington Post, Maureen Dowd has a column this week that literally compares Hillary to Andrea Yates (the mom who murdered her kids) and "Mommie Dearest," calls her campaign "hysterical," and says Clinton "snipped" at a reporter on Nightline"tangled in her own victimhood." Poor lil' MoDo—who will she attack when she doesn't have Hils to kick around anymore? Michele Obama better watch her back.

thank YOU sir.
I love it that most of these "activist" North Dakota farmers profiled in the mainstream media these days (see also:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/21/us/21hemp.html , which I'm sure Dom's linked to in the past) are stauch Republicans just trying to earn a living by cultivating the land. Such radicals! Our cause if full of unlikely allies.
Our cause if full of unlikely allies.
That's usually how you can tell you have a good authentic cause, and not one that has been squeezed into our consciousness by the ruling two-party elite.
Sorry, but the support of ND farmers isn't going to change jack shit.
The drug law enforcement complex, just like the military-industrial complex, depends on the status-quo for a reason to exist. They appeal to irrational fear; that's why absurd ideas, such as industrial hemp turning America into a nation of potheads, get purchase. It's also why the public buys off on unconstitutional actions such as property seizures without a conviction, which puts money directly in the budgets of law enforcement.
Policy makers know that a fast-track to unemployment is to go soft on drugs. They often use ridiculous claims about the dangers of drugs as cover to do nothing (other than jack up mandatory minimum sentences) rather than tackle the very tough issues around drug use in our culture.
Nobody gets elected on the pro dope platform. There's a reason why folks like Norm Stamper start talking about the emperors lack of clothing only AFTER they retire.
Dominic, when are we going to see a statewide follow-up to I-75? Seems like the time is ripe.
I'm sorry, but the whole slant of this article doesn't quite make sense to me. industrial hemp really isn't pot. Sure it has *some* THC, but you'd have to smoke so much of it to get a buzz, you'll wind up with a killer headache before you got to that point.
It seems to me that the current drug laws are being applied too liberally.
While I agree that making pot legal -- the smokable kind -- isn't a bad idea, it really is a completely separate issue. There is no connection between industrial and non-industrial help here, aside from the fact that a law against one is being misapplied to the other.
Oops, I meant:
"There is no connection between industrial and non-industrial HEMP here..."
The slant of this article, Toby, is that there are two ways to legalize hemp. Sue the federal government to make a legal exception for the non-psychoactive variety, which is why I'm cheering on the litigious farmers, or legalize pot first. A people's movement to declare hemp and pot separate is pure semantics and it's lost on the powers that be. They are the same plant--cannabis. Same genus and everything.

GlycoVaxyn entered a collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals (GSK) to develop new bacterial vaccines employing GlycoVaxyn's bioconjugation technology. The agreement includes a set of pathogen targets. GSK will have the option to obtain an exclusive license on these targets during the three-year term of the deal and to extend both the term as well as scope of the collaboration. GlycoVaxyn will receive an up-front payment and an equity investment, and the firm is eligible to receive milestone payments and royalties on licensed vaccine candidates.
"GlycoVaxyn's technology is designed to enable or improve the development of anti-bacterial conjugate vaccines by in vivo synthesis of protein-polysaccharide complexes in E. coli, via recombinant DNA technology," said Michael Wacker, co-founder and CSO of GlycoVaxyn. "This technology could potentially broaden the range of anti-bacterial vaccines as we target our vaccine development to previously unattainable bacterial pathogens."
The firms have separately been involved in the bacterial vaccine space for some time. In 2010, GlycoVaxyn and researchers at Harvard Medical School's Brigham and Women's Hospital received $3.4 million in NIH funding to support preclinical development of a biconjugate vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus infections. GSK produces vaccines for several bacterial infections including tetanus and typhoid fever. The firm has an S. aureus vaccine candidate that it purchased from Nabi Biopharmaceuticals in November 2009. Also, earlier this year, FDA approved GlaxoSmithKline's MenHibrix® for preventing meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups C and Y and Hemophilus influenzae type b in children.

Texas Judge Said 14-Year-Old in Rape Case 'Wasn't the Victim She Claimed to Be'
And sentenced the rapist to community service at a rape center.
State District Judge Jeanine Howard of Dallas has removed herself from a controversial rape case after questioning the victim's innocence and sentencing the admitted rapist to community service at a rape crisis center. Yes, really. Howard voluntary recused herself following an interview with the Dallas Morning News last week, in which she said the girl, 14 at the time, "wasn't the victim she claimed to be," and the attacker, then 18, "is not your typical sex offender."
The judge, a Democrat running unopposed for reelection in the fall, cited medical records that showed the girl's past sexual activity and that she'd had a child. There were also texts between the victim and Sir Young, now 20, consenting to sex but not at school; both testified that she said "no" and "stop" before and during the attack in a music practice room on campus.
Howard used her broad powers and reputation for "creative sentencing approaches" to give Young 45 days in jail, five years of probation (including spending every anniversary of the rape in jail for those five years), and 250 hours of community service at the Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center. Unsurprisingly, the center said no thanks and that part of the punishment is being reconsidered. Young faced up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to the rape his lawyer admits happened but cast dismissively as just "two kids messing around at school."
"There are rape cases that deserve life. There are rape cases that deserve 20 years. Every now and then you have one of those that deserve probation. This is one of those and I stand by it," said Howard in the interview that made the case national news. She also insisted, "I will always do the right thing."
The victim, on the other hand, concluded, "It would have been better for me not to say anything."

City fire crews fighting fire in gun shop on Elm StreetBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 19,2013A fire destroyed three-bay garage and reported gun shop on Elm Street in the city early Tuesday morning.
Rutland City Fire Chief Robert Schlachter said when firefighters arrived to the scene around 8 a.m. flames and a lot of smoke could be seen from the wooden garage behind the home. He said the cause of the fire was unknown at the time, but fire investigators with Vermont State Police were called in.
"We wanted to air on the side of caution," the chief said. "We used defensive tactics, meaning we did not go inside of the building."
Schlachter said a vehicle in the garage sustained a lot of damage along with the various items inside.
"Everything in there was pretty well damaged," he added.
He said they found several guns and ammunition in boxes and that none had gone off during the fire, though they took precautions.
"Ammunition in a box, the casing goes one way while the projectile goes the other way," Schlachter said. "It can cause damage, but not it does not go as fast as if shot from a gun."
The fire chief said the fire was contained to the garage, but the owner of the house was evacuated as a precaution.
Donna LaRose, who lives across the street, was alarmed to see the fire in the shed behind King's house a little before 8 a.m.
"I see smoke, flames, shooting out over there," she said. "I came out and screamed, 'somebody call 911!'"
Other neighbors knocked on the door to the Kings to warn them, and multiple fire engines responded to the street and began to set up hoses with precautions taken because of the threat of ammo in the building.
According to Mayor Christopher Louras, who walked down to check on the fire, the precautions were part of a protocol followed by the fire department in these cases.
According to neighbors, King's gun shop has been in business around 40 years; the owner, Gerald King, lives in the house adjacent to the shop, which is housed in a shed to the rear of the house. King is retired, but still does some work on guns.MORE IN This Just In

Recently our local partner Desert2Surf supported by the NT's Roper Gulf Shire, was represented in Woorrangalook (the Koori Surfing Titles) at Urquarts Bluff on Victoria's West Coast. Sixteen year old Peter Farrell, from the remote indigenous community of Beswick, competed in the under 18 section of the competition. Peter won the visitor's category with three great rides. Peter was selected as a worthy candidate for the trip from the Roper Gulf Shire's diversionary youth program in Katherine. Peter had never been to the surf before and competed in the event after just three surfing lessons with Desert2Surf in the days leading up to the competition. A natural, he stood up in his first lesson and went on to carve up the waves with poise and daring.
The surfing lessons provided by this project clearly got Peter across the line in the competition, we hope to involve more youth from remote indigenous communities in the 2012 event.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this project, your donations are helping these indigenous youth to enjoy new experiences whilst growing in confidence.

HATEOAS and the PayPal REST Payment API
One of the key features of the PayPal REST API is HATEOAS (Hypertext As The Engine Of Application State).
At its core, HATEAOAS provides a way to interact with the REST Payment API entirely through hyperlinks. With each call that you make to the API, we'll return an array of links that allow you to request more information about a call and to further interact with the API. You no longer need to hard code the logic necessary to use the PayPal REST API.
HATEOAS links are contextual, so you only get the information that is relative to a specific request.
Building Blocks of HATEOAS
Let's take a look at a PayPal payment using the REST API. When you send the initial payment request, you'll get back a response that contains a set of HATEOAS links like this:
There are three components for each link in a HATEOAS links array:
href: URL of the related HATEOAS link you can use for subsequent calls.
rel: Link relation that describes how this link relates to the previous call.
method: The HTTP method required for the related call.
href component
The key component within HATEOAS,
href provides the linkage between the completed call and a future call. Each
href is a fully formed target URL, so you there is no further logic required to access a resource other than the
rel component
rel component provides the relation type for the URL in question.
Here are the possible relation types:
self: Link to get information about the call itself. For example, the
selflink in response to a PayPal account payment provides you with more information about the payment resource itself. Similarly, the
selflink in the response to a refund will provide you with information about the refund that just completed.
parent_payment: Link to get information about the originally created payment resource. All payment related calls (
/payments/) through the PayPal REST payment API, including refunds, authorized payments, and captured payments involve a parent payment resource.
sale: Link to get information about a completed sale.
update: Link to execute and complete user-approved PayPal payments.
authorization: Link to look up the original authorized payment for a captured payment.
reauthorize: Link to reauthorize a previously authorized PayPal payment.
capture: Link to capture authorized but uncaptured payments.
void: Link to void an authorized payment.
refund: Link to refund a completed sale.
delete: Link to delete a credit card from the vault.
method component
method component provides the HTTP methods required to interact with the provided HATEOAS URL.
Here are the possible methods:
POST: Use this method to create or act upon resources, including:
- create payments
- refund payments
- reauthorize payments
- capture authorized payments
- void authorized payments
- store credits cards using the
GET: Use this method to get information about existing resources, including:
- lists of payment resources
- completed payments
- refunds
- authorizations
- captured authorizations
- stored credit cards
DELETE: Use this method to remove a resource. Currently, you can use this method to delete stored credit cards.
REDIRECT: This method is actually not an HTTP method. It instead provides a redirect URL where payers are redirected to approve a PayPal account payment.

Financial liberalization, structural change, and real exchange rate appreciations
The last twenty years have witnessed periods of sustained appreciations of the real exchange rate in emerging economies. The case of Mexico between 1988 and 2002 is representative of several episodes in Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe in which countries opening to capital flows experienced large appreciations accompanied by a significant reallocation of workers towards the non-tradable sector. We account for these facts using a two sector dynamic general equilibrium model of a small open economy with frictions to labor reallocation and two driving forces: (i) A decline in the cost of borrowing in foreign markets, and (ii) differential productivity growth across sectors. These two mechanisms account together for 60% of the decline in the domestic relative price of tradables in Mexico and for a large fraction of the observed reallocation of labor across sectors. The decline in the interest rate faced by Mexico in international markets is quantitatively the most important channel. Our results are robust to the inclusion of terms of trade into the model.

It's quick, convenient, and hassle-free. That makes using a debit card very popular.
According to the latest numbers from Visa and Mastercard there are 520 million debit cards in use today. But those numbers may start to drop.
Bank of America says come January, it will charge its basic checking account customers $5 a month to use their debit cards for any purchases.
Some we talked with say that would be enough to get them to switch banks.
Esther Moon told us, "I would definitely pick a different bank. I know I use my debit card enough that that would keep me from picking that bank."
Amanda Crusch says, "I would definitely stop using it. That's too much. That's kind of unnecessary."
I called around and found most banks don't charge for debit card purchases and have no plans to do so.
Those include: U.S. Bank, ENT, Compass Bank and USAA. Chase and Wells Fargo are testing the idea.
Chase is charging its basic customers in Wisconsin $3 a month and starting in October Wells Fargo will charge a $3 monthly fee for customers in Georgia, Oregon, New Mexico, Nevada, and Washington.
First Bank has the highest fee I found in Colorado. It charges customers $7.50 a year and that annual fee will soon be going up to $10.
The best advice: do as Mark Van Horn.
He says, "I put everything on the credit card, pay my bill in full when I get it and that seems to be the cheapest way to go."
You may not want to consider doing away with your debit card, but that may be your best bet: avoiding fraud issues and pesky fees.
If you have the discipline get a regular credit card and then pay it off every month.
Another option is a secured credit card which comes with fee, but will help you build a credit history while protecting your bank balance at the same time.
Banks are now charging debit card customers because of changes in bank regulations. They're making the cards less profitable.
In fact, some financial institutions use to offer rewards for debit card use. Experts say most are now scaling those back or doing away with them altogether.

This review is from: ASRock FM2A85X Extreme6 FM2 AMD A85X (Hudson D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: ive bought ASRock boards in the past and have been surprised by there ability and power. this was a good addition to my build
Cons: wait..what...cons?... well, i guess i do have a small issue. the DIMM slots should be moved a little out more to fit some big coolers like the xigmatech gaia. im literraly bending my DIMM slot to fit it on the CPU
Other Thoughts: im not sure if ASR knows this or if they planned it this way, but the last two boards i had, i noticed a small, verry interesting feture on the northbridge. the heatsink has a centripetal airflow. i thought this was cool considering the fact that it has a shell over itREAD FULL REVIEW

Pros: hadn't had any problems since i wrote this back in spetember
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: im running a teamspeak server on my computer so as you can imagine my computer never sleeps. i shut it down to do some cleaning so far and that was it. this power supply hasn't quite or failed in the 7 months its been running.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Antec FORMULA 7 Nano Diamond Thermal Compound
Pros: i've been using this in all my builds and never had an issue. idle temps with an A10 are at 27-31c.
Cons: spatula does not work for such a high grade compound. its too weak. now i see why they say not to use it
Other Thoughts: after reading a few reviews on here i nearly lost my jaw. soaking thermal compound in water reduces its structure makeing it less able to conduct heat, thermal compound is made to be a thick past because of the elements in it. liquefying it separates the elements making it more like soup (the heavier particles float). the best method that works with such things is to apply a small pea size and apply your heatsink to the cpu/gpu.READ FULL REVIEW
