Inspector General, Volcker Rule, Piracy, EU: Compliance
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Inspector General H. David Kotz is leaving the agency after four years to join a private investigative firm.
Kotz, who joined the agency in 2007, oversaw a range of investigations, including a probe of the SEC's failure to catch Bernard Madoff's multibillion dollar fraud and a review of the agency's supervision of Bear Stearns Cos. He will stay through the end of January before becoming a managing director at Gryphon Strategies in Washington, the SEC said yesterday.
The resignation followed criticism of Kotz by current and former agency officials who claimed some of his probes were overly aggressive and lacked evidence of wrongdoing. Kotz also came under scrutiny for giving an extensive interview to the host of a paid radio show who posted it on a website and used it in marketing financial services.
"I am tremendously proud of the accomplishments of my office and the agency over the past four years," Kotz said in a statement yesterday. "While I will miss doing this important work, I am gratified knowing that nearly every aspect of the SEC has been significantly improved in the four years since I was named Inspector General."
In a statement yesterday, SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said Kotz "has served the agency with great distinction" during his four-year tenure.
"His work helped us to identify areas where we needed to improve the way we operate, bolster our resources, and upgrade our technology," she said.

U.S. Regulators to Defend Volcker Rule Ban on Proprietary Trades
U.S. House Republicans will press federal regulators on the merits of a proposal to ban banks from trading for their own account, as one regulator acknowledged the rule could put banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. at a competitive disadvantage.
Acting Comptroller of the Currency John Walsh acknowledged that banks without U.S. operations could benefit from the rule, saying that foreign jurisdictions "have not adopted restrictions resembling those in the Volcker rule."
"U.S. banks competing with these foreign banks will operate at a competitive disadvantage," Walsh said in testimony prepared for today's House Financial Services Committee hearing in response to a question from the panel's Republican members.
Regulators have been on the defensive since the Federal Reserve and three other agencies released the first draft of the rule in October. Lawmakers, the largest banks and financial firms and international regulators have criticized the 298-page proposal as too complex and potentially damaging for financial markets.
The proposed rule, named for former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, would ban banks from proprietary trading while allowing them to continue short-term trades for hedging or market-making. It also would limit banks' investments in private-equity and hedge funds. Required by the Dodd-Frank Act, the rule must be in place by July 21.
Lawmakers included the rule in the law to cut down on the type of trading that may put banks with access to U.S. deposit insurance or the Fed discount window at risk. Financial firms, in comment letters to regulators and in public statements, have voiced concerns that the rule may restrict market liquidity, specifically in corporate bonds.

Google Plans Home Page Protest Against U.S. Piracy Measures
Google Inc. is placing a link on its home page today protesting anti-piracy measures in the U.S. Congress, joining other Internet companies demonstrating against the Hollywood-backed legislation.
Google, owner of the world's most popular search engine, and Facebook Inc. are among companies opposing House and Senate bills they say they will hurt the growth of the U.S. technology industry. Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia where users contribute entries, said it will shut the English version of its website for 24 hours today to protest the measures.
"We oppose these bills because there are smart, targeted ways to shut down foreign rogue websites without asking American companies to censor the Internet," Samantha Smith, a Google spokeswoman, said in an e-mail yesterday.
The Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the Protect IP Act in the Senate are backed by the movie and music industries as a means to crack down on the sale of counterfeit goods by non-U.S. websites. Hollywood studios want lawmakers to ensure that Internet companies such as Google share responsibility for curbing the distribution of pirated material.
A legislative push led by the Washington-based Motion Picture Association of America and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's largest business-lobbying group, has run into a backlash from Web companies that say the bills would saddle them with new liabilities and technology mandates.
Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, called the decision to shut the website an "extraordinary" action in response to the proposed laws, which "endanger free speech both in the United States and abroad, and set a frightening precedent of Internet censorship for the world."
The so-called blackout day to protest anti-piracy legislation is "abuse of power given the freedoms these companies enjoy in the marketplace today," Christopher Dodd, chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.

FDIC Proposes Rules for Self-Administered Bank Stress Tests
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation proposed regulations that would require banks with assets in excess of $10 billion to conduct self-administered stress tests each year.
Under the proposal, the FDIC by mid-November each year would provide banks with three economic scenarios for the future. By Jan. 5, banks would send the FDIC a report on how the institution would cope with the scenarios. The reports would be published 90 days after that.
The rule closely tracks one proposed by the Federal Reserve last year that outlines how Fed examiners will administer stress tests to institutions with assets of more than $50 billion.
"Both the FDIC and the institutions being tested will benefit from the forward-looking results that the stress tests will provide," acting FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg said. "The results will assist in ensuring an institution's financial stability by helping to determine whether it has sufficient capital levels to withstand a period of economic stress."
Richard Cordray, the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, voted for the proposal on stress tests in his first appearance on the FDIC board.
"Not only will they help protect consumer depositors but the system as a whole," Cordray said at the meeting.
The FDIC will be taking public comments on the proposal for 60 days.
EU Tells Clinton It Won't Abandon Carbon Limits for Airlines
The European Union won't abandon its curbs on carbon dioxide discharges by international airlines and sees the program as an incentive toward a global solution, the bloc's executive told U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The 27-nation EU is ready to discuss the exemption of incoming flights from the U.S. from its emissions trading system should the world's largest economy introduce "equivalent measures" to cut pollution by the aviation industry, according to a letter sent by the bloc's transport and climate commissioners to Clinton.
The European law will also be reviewed and amended when countries worldwide reach an agreement to limit greenhouse gas discharges from airlines, the EU said in the letter seen by Bloomberg News.
The inclusion of airlines in the EU cap-and-trade program as of this year has sparked opposition from countries including the U.S., China and Russia, which said Europe should let the United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization decide on greenhouse-gas limits for the industry. Clinton told the EU in a letter last month that the U.S. will be compelled to take appropriate action unless the bloc abandons its plan.
"We see the inclusion of aviation in the EU ETS as an important contribution to, and a catalyst, towards global action, rather than an obstacle," according to the EU response to Clinton dated Jan. 16. "We believe there's now a growing recognition of the need to move forwards in ICAO to develop a global solution and we hope that the U.S. shares our view that we must seize this opportunity."

Compliance Action
Hedge Fund Employees Said to Be in Custody in Insider Probe
Two hedge-fund employees are in custody in the U.S. probe of insider trading that has already snagged Galleon Group LLC co-founder Raj Rajaratnam, and about 50 others, according to a person familiar with the matter.
One person was arrested in Boston today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and another in New York, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the arrests haven't been made public. Two more people will also surrender to authorities later today, the person said.
Securities fraud charges stemming from the probe will be announced today by the office of Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, the person said. Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman for the office, declined to comment on the arrests.
Bharara's office has charged at least 56 people with insider-trading and more than 50 have pleaded guilty or been convicted after trial since 2009. They included Rajaratnam, who was convicted in May and is serving 11 years in prison.
Last month, another person familiar with the matter said employees of Neuberger Berman Group LLC, Level Global Investors LP and Diamondback Capital Management LLC could be facing criminal charges as part of the probe.
The identities of the people arrested or expected to surrender today haven't been publicly disclosed.
Steve Bruce, a spokesman for Stamford, Connecticut-based Diamondback, declined to comment on the probe when it was reported by the Wall Street Journal. Rich Chimberg, an outside spokesman for Neuberger Berman, said at the time of last month's report that the firm was unaware of any probe involving an employee identified by the newspaper as an analyst for the firm.
Level Global told clients last February that it was shutting, eight years after David Ganek and Anthony Chiasson founded the hedge fund, because of the U.S. probe. They said at the time that Level Global wasn't a target of the investigation nor had it been alleged to have engaged in any misconduct.
RBS Insurance Units Fined $3.3 Million for Altering Forms
Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc was fined 2.17 million pounds ($3.3 million) after its insurance units, which the bank is planning to sell, altered complaint forms before showing them to the U.K.'s finance regulator.
Managers at Direct Line Insurance Plc and Churchill Insurance Co. failed to prevent employees from changing 27 of 50 closed customer-complaint forms before they were sent to the Financial Services Authority, which had requested them, the regulator said in a statement today.
"This is a serious breach," said Tracey McDermott, the FSA's acting head of enforcement. "The firms failed to give clear instructions resulting in staff making inappropriate alterations, with one individual even forging the signatures of colleagues. The firms' management did not know what changes had been made or when."
RBS, the U.K.'s biggest home and motor insurer, has been given until the end of this year to sell its insurance business by the European Union in return for receiving a 45.5 billion-pound government bailout in 2008 and 2009. The division, which is planning an initial public offering, reported a profit last year after posting a loss in 2010 because of surging personal injury claims.
U.K. Insurance Ltd., the general insurance underwriter of RBS Insurance that owns Direct Line and Churchill, cooperated with the FSA and received the regulator's standard 30 percent discount for settling early.
"We very much regret the findings of the FSA investigation," RBS Insurance Chief Executive Officer Paul Geddes said in a statement. "Since becoming aware of this issue well over a year ago, we have taken action to address these issues and to ensure we avoid such breaches in the future."
Russian Father-Son Team Accused of Online Fraud by U.S.
Federal prosecutors charged a Russian father and son from Moscow with taking part in a scheme to gain illegal computer access to U.S. bank accounts through bogus e-commerce websites.
Vladimir Zdorovenin and his son, Kirill, were named in an indictment unsealed yesterday in federal court in Manhattan that alleges they and unknown others controlled U.S.-registered companies. The two men also operated a business that bought and sold securities.
The defendants took unauthorized charges on customers' credit cards, prosecutors said. They also got credit-card numbers by either buying them from unidentified people who had obtained them illegally or by so-called malware the defendants surreptitiously installed on victims' computers, the U.S. alleged.
"Mr. Zdorovenin's egregious behavior illustrated the true colors of the cyber underground, as he and his son allegedly defrauded consumers of hundreds of thousands of dollars," Janice K. Fedarcyk, the head of the FBI's New York office, said in a statement. "This should serve as a stark reminder to anyone who believes he can commit cyber crime and hide behind the safety and anonymity of a Russian IP address; you are not beyond the reach of the FBI."
Vladimir Zdorovenin was arrested last March in Zurich and arrived in New York Monday following his extradition by Swiss authorities, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara's office said in a statement.
At his arraignment yesterday before U.S. Magistrate Judge Gabriel Gorenstein, Vladimir Zdorovenin pleaded not guilty to the charges through his lawyer, Sabrina Shroff. She declined to comment on the case after court. Assistant U.S. Attorney James Pastore, who is prosecuting the case, said U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe scheduled a Jan. 19 conference in the case.
The case is U.S. v. Zdorovenin, 07-cr-00440, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
Rubin Pleads Guilty to Moving Illegal Online Poker Payments
Ira Rubin, who was accused of helping process billions of dollars in payments for illegal online gambling businesses, pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges.
Rubin, 53, was accused of illegally processing payments for PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker, the leading online poker sites doing business with U.S. customers. Facing nine criminal counts, he admitted yesterday to three charges of conspiracy in Manhattan federal court.
According to a plea agreement with prosecutors, Rubin faces a prison term of 18 to 24 months under non-binding federal sentencing guidelines.
Prosecutors allege that after the U.S. enacted a law in 2006 barring banks from processing payments to offshore gambling websites, PokerStars, Full Tilt and Absolute worked around the ban to continue operating in the U.S.
The government claims Rubin worked from Costa Rica, where he lived since fleeing to avoid a U.S. arrest warrant in 2008, helping offshore poker companies move "billions of dollars in illegal gambling proceeds" disguised as payments to phony Internet merchants. The shell companies Rubin created included a fake golf store and electronics business, prosecutors said.
Rubin's criminal record dates to the 1970s, according to prosecutors, and includes at least 24 different crimes.
The case is U.S. v. Rubin, 10-CR-336, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
Deutsche Boerse-NYSE Veto Said to Be Backed By National Agencies
National regulators in the European Union backed plans by the region's top antitrust official to block the merger of Deutsche Boerse AG and NYSE Euronext, according to a person with knowledge of yesterday's vote.
Representatives of national competition agencies supported the European Commission's proposed merger ban, said the person who couldn't be identified because the vote is private. The commission isn't obliged to follow the advice of the officials from the 27-nation bloc.
EU regulators have told the two companies that they plan to veto the deal to create the world's largest exchange because it would monopolize derivatives trading in the region, according to two people on Dec. 31. The EU's Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said the Brussels-based authority will decide on the deal on Feb. 1. Companies can appeal a merger ban at the EU courts.
Reuters earlier reported the result of the yesterday's vote among national watchdogs.
Olympus Clears KPMG in Fraud, Faults Internal Auditors
Olympus Corp., the Japanese camera maker that hid $1.7 billion in losses, faulted five internal auditors for the fraud and said KPMG Azsa LLC and Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC weren't responsible.
A panel the company set up to investigate the fraud determined that five internal auditors are culpable for 8.4 billion yen ($109 million) in costs related to the cover-up of losses, Olympus said yesterday in a statement. The company filed a lawsuit in Tokyo District Court against the internal auditors seeking a combined 1 billion yen in damages, Olympus said in a separate statement yesterday.
President Shuichi Takayama is scheduled to disclose what else the company will do in response to the panel's findings, Tokyo-based Olympus said. The company, also the world's biggest maker of endoscopes, last week sued 19 current and former executives including Takayama over their roles in concealing losses in a scandal that has led to a drop of about $4 billion in Olympus's market value.
The panel's probe found Minoru Ota, a former internal auditor at Olympus who headed its accounting unit until 2001, responsible for 3.7 billion yen of fees and other costs related to the cover-up, the largest amount among the five people, Olympus said in the statement.
The other four auditors, Tadao Imai, Makoto Shimada, Yasuo Nakamura and Katsuo Komatsu, didn't fulfill their duties and were responsible for the remaining 4.7 billion yen of cover-up expenses, the company said.
Dart's Fund May Get Top Court Review on Argentine Judgment
Two funds, one controlled by billionaire Kenneth Dart, may get a U.S. Supreme Court hearing in their legal fight to collect at least $2 billion owed by the government of Argentina.
The justices yesterday asked the Obama administration for advice on an appeal by Dart's EM Ltd. and NML Capital Ltd., an affiliate of the New York-based hedge fund Elliott Associates LP, in a multi-pronged dispute stemming from Argentina's 2001 default on $95 billion of bonds.
The funds, which refused to exchange their securities in a 2005 Argentine debt swap, are seeking to enforce $2 billion in judgments they have won in U.S. court cases.
In the case acted on yesterday, EM and NML are trying to seize $100 million in Argentine central bank assets being held at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York. A federal appeals court said that money is shielded under the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
Argentina believes the U.S. will support its position, said an official at the country's central bank who declined to be identified because he isn't authorized to speak publicly.
Dart is president of Mason, Michigan-based Dart Container Corp., the world's largest maker of foam cups. He gave up his U.S. citizenship in the 1990s to avoid taxes and moved to the Cayman Islands.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor didn't take part in yesterday's order. She was involved in the litigation over Argentina's bonds as an appeals court judge.
The case is EM Ltd. v. Republic of Argentina, 11-604.
TD Bank Aided Rothstein Fraud, Investors' Lawyer Tells Jury
TD Bank helped Scott Rothstein, the convicted Florida attorney, keep his $1.2 billion Ponzi scheme afloat by assuring victims their money was safe while Rothstein depleted the accounts, a lawyer for investors told a jury.
David Mandel, an attorney for Coquina Investments, in closing arguments yesterday after a trial in Miami, pointed to letters in which bank Vice President Frank Spinosa said Rothstein's account was locked and the money in it could be disbursed only to Corpus Christi, Texas-based Coquina.
Coquina Investments' Rothstein lawsuit is the first such case against the bank to go to trial. Attorneys representing other investors have been watching it closely.
"This case is very significant," said William Scherer, an attorney representing a group that lost $180 million. "This is the canary in the coal mine for our case."
Scherer is also suing TD Bank, a unit of Toronto-Dominion Bank, claiming it had a direct role in the fraud.
Mandel asked for $32 million in compensatory damages and $140 million in punitive damages.
Holly R. Skolnick, a lawyer for TD Bank, said Coquina must have realized that investments earning almost 50 percent in a few months were too good to be legitimate.
Rothstein told victims of his fraud that they were buying stakes in sexual and employment discrimination settlements that his law firm, Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler PA, was handling. The settlements were fictional.
Skolnick disputed the idea that Coquina relied on the letter Spinosa wrote, noting that it said Rothstein still controlled the account.
"This letter took on a new meaning, became the hook after Ponzi scheme exploded when they were looking for somebody with deep pockets to sue," she said.
Rothstein pleaded guilty to five counts of wire fraud, conspiracy and racketeering and was sentenced to 50 years in prison in 2010.
The scheme collapsed in October 2009 and Rothstein briefly fled to Morocco before returning to the United States to turn himself in. He is cooperating with authorities and attorneys as they sue alleged enablers of the fraud.
The case is Coquina Investments v. Rothstein, 0:10-cv-60786, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida (Miami).
Credit Suisse Judge Tosses Claims Bank Misled on AOL Stock
Credit Suisse First Boston and four of its former executives, including technology investment banker Frank Quattrone, won dismissal of a lawsuit alleging they deceived investors into buying AOL Time Warner stock.
U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton in Boston threw out both of the claims in the class-action complaint against the bank and the executives after finding that a study by the plaintiffs' expert witness was flawed, according to a Jan. 13 ruling. The case was set to go to trial in March.
The case was brought by individuals and a pension fund that bought stock in AOL Time Warner Inc. from the time of its merger in January 2001 until a disclosure in July 2002 of an investigation of its accounting practices. They claimed that 35 research reports issued by the Credit Suisse Group AG unit over that period recommended buying the stock and set unattainable financial projections even as the analysts knew the company couldn't reach those results.
The failure by the expert witness, Scott Hakala, to "isolate the effect of defendants' alleged fraud from other industry- and company-specific news reported on event days confounds his event study and renders it unreliable," Gorton said in his ruling.
The case is In re: Credit Suisse-AOL Securities Litigation, 02-12146, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston).
Amazon.com Sued by Customer Over Hackers' Theft of Zappos Data
Amazon.com Inc. was accused in a lawsuit by a customer of its Zappos.com unit of violating federal consumer credit laws by failing to protect her personal information after the company said hackers stole account numbers and other data.
Theresa Stevens, a resident of Beaumont, Texas, said that as a result of the breach, she and other Zappos customers are more likely to receive e-mails from spoof websites and unknowingly give away personal information to hackers, according to her complaint filed Jan. 16 in federal court in Louisville, Kentucky. The customers will also incur expenses for credit monitoring and suffer emotional distress and loss of privacy, according to the complaint.
Stevens seeks to represent 24 million Zappos customers whose personal information was compromised, according to the complaint. She received an e-mail from the online shoe retailer Jan. 16 saying her information was stolen as part of a data breach. Hackers gained access to Zappos.com's internal network through unprotected computer servers located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, according to the complaint.
Stevens seeks unspecified damages and a court order requiring Amazon.com to pay for credit monitoring and identity theft insurance. Drew Herdener, a spokesman for Seattle-based Amazon, didn't immediately return a voice-mail message seeking comment yesterday about the lawsuit.
The case is Stevens v. Amazon.com, 12-cv-00032, U.S. District Court, Western District of Kentucky (Louisville).

Re: Should I apply for an auto loan yet? NFCU
I don't need a car right now, but my current car (we only have one) is having mechanical problems to the point where I can see within the next 6 months it will need to be replaced. I own it outright and it is worth around $8,000. My reason for posting is to see if I would get a favorable loan through NFCU with the open collections so I can avoid the maintenance issues, or if I would benefit from paying the collections. Basically, if a higher down payment but old open collections or a lower down payment and paid collections (not deleted) would offer a better chance of getting a loan.

Video: Serving Up Success in Nicaragua
May 20, 2013
Fernando Roa has realized his dream of opening a quesillo restaurant thanks to Idea Tu Empresa, a TechnoServe program that used business plan competitions to help entrepreneurs transform good ideas into thriving businesses.
In Nagarote, Nicaragua, a local restaurateur is putting a modern spin on his town's signature dish, the quesillo. Fernando Roa, 41, began developing the idea for Quesillos Gourmet Mi Finca in 2007 when he entered a TechnoServe business plan competition, Idea Tu Empresa. After winning $10,000 in seed funding and ongoing support from TechnoServe, Fernando was well on his way to transforming his concept into a thriving business.
Over the next several months, Fernando worked with TechnoServe advisors to refine his business plan and gear up for the launch of Quesillos Gourmet Mi Finca in 2008. Since then, Quesillos Gourmet has seen great success: sales have quintupled and staff has tripled in size to meet demand. "Many note that we are a growing company, but we are solid because of the business plan that we formulated with TechnoServe," Fernando says.

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
We3 moments continue!
Okay, so the doctor in charge of We3 (the cybernetic trio of assassins made up by a dog, a cat and a rabbit) is distressed that there are going to be "de-commissioned" (euphemism for killed), so, well, she takes action, which writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely depict via security cameras…
Brilliant sequence, especially that double-page spread, which would be "the" moment here.
This may be the moment of the series for me…I've never enjoyed Quitely's art as much as I did in these few pages. The compression and release going from the security cam view to the double page spread is absolutely joyous.
To be honest, the recreation here doesn't do it justice…
I'm gonna have to read this again…
The web really doesn't do this sequence justice. I entreat everyone reading this to go and check out the print collection.
Okay, I know I said the other day I couldn't read this but I think I'm actually going to work up the balls and look this up for purchase at my shop.
The more and more I see of this, the concept is increasingly far too intriguing for me to ignore and just spoil on the web for myself even if Morrison is going to end up ripping my heart strings off.
i would also go with how the security guard is watching the codes activating the we3 being saved and not figuring out all hades is about to break lose
Ok, possibly I am really stupid but I don't get it?
Yeah, the first half of the security camera sequence is a bit unclear.
The doctor in charge of the animals did not do the actual the "click on SAVE". Had she done so, it would have locked down the restraints.
As a result, the animals was able to take off when they saw the needles.
If only every comic book DC published could be up to the standard of We3.
Fucking awesome. Hell, if HALF the comics DC published were up to half the standard of WE3, we'd be in a goddamn golden age.
The worst thing about this comic is it has an ending. You can't make anymore We3.
I'd rather have one very good and very finite story than a longer story that is more likely to have boring or lousy parts. One of the miraculous things about We3 is that there's no wasted page or panel I can recall– everything about it is tight and immediate.
Gotta love the doctors sense of morals. Can't let 3 cute animals be killed, but never mind all the humans who might've been killed. Oh well, they were experimenting on animals, so they probably deserved it…
Uhm… to treat animals as unconscious beings with no phenomenal or intellectual sense and therefore deserving of treatment no better than expendable objects (in spite of the overwhelming evidence in this case to the contrary) is morally vacuous.
So is placing animals above human life. Not going to apologize for that.
In context, the conflict in this scene is the doctor realizing that she had granted We3 sentience in the course of increasing their intelligence, making them more self-aware than ordinary animals and essentially human-like. Her superiors still expected her to treat them as if they were ordinary animals, even though she knows (perhaps better than anyone) that We3 are now self-aware individuals. I read her actions as essentially being motivated by a desire to recognize and respect We3's new sentience.
Hmm, I wonder if anyone would've attributed the doctor's actions to mere sympathy for "cuteness" if she had been written as a male character?
Thanks lynxara. And sadly, I don't think they would have.

Here's a solution for those atheists who don't like the statement--exercise your freedom not to read it. It's going to be in one spot only, and not like it's stenciled all over the walls, floors, and bathroom stalls so that you're forced to see it and have your sensibilities offended. You also have the freedom to move to atheist countries like China or Russia, too, if you just simply can't stand to see 'God' anywhere in the public sphere.
From MST3K's spoof of "Hercules Unchained"--heard as Roman medic soldiers carry off an unconscious Greek Hercules on a 1950's Army green canvas stretcher: "Hi, we're IX-I-I. Did somebody dial IX-I-I?"

If I disable the plugin, problem gone. I deleted and reinstalled the plugin. Enabled...same issue.

Hi Community,
got an issue with my wordpress. Setting is "Publish immediately" and everytime I try to publish a post or page by clicking Publish button nothing will be published.
As soon as I change the publishing date one moth or so prior, then it'll be published immediately.
What setting causes this problem? I'd like my costumer not editing the publishing date and time. Instead I want them to use the Publish button only. That's it. They shouldn't work with this prior-date-setting work around.
Any ideas?

My boyfriend and I took a trip to St. Louis for a concert and found a Groupon for this tour a week before we left. We didn't have much time to spend in the city, so this was a perfect way to pack a lot in to our short stay. The tour guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He loves his job, and it shows! It made me wish we were staying longer to check out more of the places we saw. We'll just have to come back again!

Howard Palmer has cochlear implants as a result of profound hearing loss in both ears.
Mandy and Jaime Palmer, Howard's parents, discovered his hearing loss when he failed the newborn hearing screening in his left ear. The Palmers were referred to the Callier Center, where Howard receives a continuum of care including audiology services through the Cochlear Implant Program, speech-language therapy, and deaf education in the Callier Child Development Program.
Howard has made progress in all areas of development. He is able to communicate better with his teachers and his peers, and he is able to express his emotions appropriately.
"I don't know that there is a better place for us and for Howard than Callier. It was the best decision we ever made." — Jaime Palmer, Howard's father

A funny thing happened on the way to the printer
A very annoying and prominent error appears in Dave Eggers's audience review in this week's printed issue. You will find it at the end of the second paragraph. What's missing is half of the last sentence of the second paragraph, and then the entire third paragraph. It's a short paragraph, but it's necessary.
This is my fault. I'm the editor who signs off on this page. But in case you're curious, here's what happened: somewhere in the process of getting the page ready to go to the printer, a chunk of text was highlighted, and then someone — who knows — typed the letter z. As the page went off to be committed to history, no one saw this (and at least six eyes looked).
This is especially embarrassing because Eggers is a great writer who's never written for The Stranger before, and we are thrilled to have him in this issue. Check out the correct piece here. It's a great piece. It made another one of the editors here almost cry.

Corner. Stone.
Bergen sure is a pretty city from up here...
Chocolate mousse
The view was magnificant
The answer can't be found in the bottom of a bottle... unless that bottle is made of strawberry flavoured jelly and foam
'Exteme weather event Berit' had been battering the west coast of Norway for a few days
The 'indicator waterfall' above my house told me it would be wet underfoot up on the hills
It was cosy inside...
Up through the forests and out of the wind
Paramo weather
Up on the summit and into the teeth of 'Berit'
First day on skis, Winter 2011/2012. Mjøfjell still resisting the total grip of winter, the streams are still open and the trails try and find a way around.
Lunch spot at what looks like could be a nice place to visit in the summer with the packraft.
Heading back to the train
Odd suiting up with goodies from his Goruck 1 for a snowy circuit of Vidden
Reluctant sun
Rime plastered firs
First break, pulling out near 'The Gauntlet', which, I was told, was in a very good mood that day.
Not a lot lives on the small, weather battered, rocky islands dotting Norway's west coast. I wouldn't want to rely on this vegetation to make and fire and shelter...
Rock pool with the North Sea as a backdrop.
Contemplating the slightly more lumpy water outside the shelter of the islands. Make no mistake, the weather was as calm as the this part of the world gets but the swell of the open sea combined with wave refraction soon had me out of my depth
The volcanic rock striations fold and swirl continuously under your feet.
Mark returning to the kayaks before we headed out into the sea to 'practice' capsizing and rescue techniques...
Hot and sweaty work on the way up to Fossdal.
The groomed trails running over the top with Byrkefjellet and his posse glaring from across the valley
Bright sunlight brands my shadow into the snow. Skiing conditions were not ideal. The wind-packed snow was rock hard and icy with just a few millimetre thick dusting of loose snow on top affording minimal grip.
These reflected self-portraits are becoming my signature. This might even be the second time I've used this particular Thermos to this effect.
The hills above Furedalen Alpin resort
In the resort the snow was wet and slushy. On the hills it transformed into chopped ice dusted with sugar snow. Worst. Snow. Ever.
Moi. And my FT3.
15 fathoms, counting. First strokes in the Alpacka Denali Llama.
It was one of those days. Persistant, unending, continuous drizzly rain.
Houston, we have ignition. Light up the afterburners and get the tea on.
Rain, fog, drizzle, mist
My figurehead was a 65L Sea-to-Summit Big River dry bag
The doldrums.
Rain and paddle splash on the skirt
The water may have been calm but the deck still had a job to do, keeping me warm and dry in the chilling rain.
The captain's name was Lugger
By Christ he was a bugger
He wasn't fit to shovel shit
From one ship to another
Great idea for paddling. Neoprene and velcro cuff. Stops cold water running down your sleeve. Brrr.
The good ship Venus. Or Gwendolyn.
"Troll!" (those who have seen the movie should know how this is pronounced)
I'll take the offspring of the boat on the left with the boat on the right...
Banned. Wagon.
Cattle grid
Gulfjellet stands guard at the end of the valley
The view from behind the bow pack
Saturday night camp.
Paddle for the shelter support and flipping the Llama for a comfy bed.
Boils water faster than, well... a jet.
Cake and coffee for brekkie
Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Clamcleats 'Y' peg. My favourite (MSR Groundhog is identical if you prefer your stakes anodised red)
Here lichen. There DuoMid.
Organised chaos in the morning
Early morning bushwhackery.
Ducking and diving. With only a few kilometres between lakes I chose to strap the packraft to my pack without removing the cockpit.
21st century bed-roll.
Next time.
Nice view down there too.
The last thing this year's trout will see.
She lies on her port side, fathoms deep.
I left my paddle somewhere. Back along the portage, I wished for brightly coloured blades.
Chicken-shit is the better part of valour.
Robinson Crusoe lunch break
We were both carrying our shelter on our backs.
Cold but sunny on Gåssandvatnet. Light rays played on the rock while foxes and 'keep out' signs festooned the bank.
Wrapped up. Merino, Boreas, fleece hoody and Ozo topped off with a spray skirt and PFD.
Babbling brook, dusting of snow, filtered sunshine, mossy carpet underfoot. Best. Trail. Ever.
Spring is here! No, wait, no, there's snow. Now Spring is here! No, wait. Oh, for fucks sake, there is snow again!
The dream trail through Øvereidsdalen.
No doubt about it, no one else can live in this tiny house in the middle of the woods but an axe murderer.
Dream trail couldn't last forever. Time for the bushwhackery.
Whacking the bush brought me out here. On this precipitous outcrop of rock I had to inflate my packraft and paddle off to the far side of Krokvatnet.
And you shall know us by the trail of our bubbles...
I was going to do the ol' throw-the-paddle-over-the-obstacle-and-catch-it trick here but didn't want to tempt fate and have to paddle home by hand...
Steindalsselva. This is how my balls felt.
Out of the sun the world was still locked in ice
What's going to pop out of these then? Tiny green face-hugger aliens?!
Dam cold. Sitting on the dam end in the shade, with a cheeky little breeze that tore at my clothing layers more than this scene lets on. Steindalvatnet.
Dry another day?
Checking the map for tomorrow's proposed sea trials along Samnagerfjorden. I blew my boat up at the little triangle on the left of my grubby fingernail and aborted with mild panic at the triangle on the right of my fingernail...
Pine fresh. Nature doesn't need air freshener. It does, however, need a heater...
Yeah, it never really got above this. At least it was sunny. It could be raining, or snowing. Imagine if that happened...
I've had the wallpaper in the bedroom done.
Next years popsicle flavour. Moss.
After the Samnangerfjorden fiasco I ran back up into the hills. Lunch by the always delightful Sandelvi
Sandelvi burbling its way towards Samnangerfjorden
Sveningen's shapely rear end from Vestredalen
Proposed camp up at Litla Brekkevatnet was cancelled due to snow on the pitch
I instead chose to camp down in Brekkedalen, you know, because there was no snow down there...
Guess who decided to come and find me.
It didn't snow for too long. Instead it decided to rain.
Looks pretty? Its raining.
Looking across to the western mountains from Grønetua. Winter in retreat.
A warming fire on a cold evening
Evening hail shower. Time to retreat inside the SL3
Overnight snow, morning mist and the calm before the storm

Down time?
Morning chores. The kids were up and working in the barn by 07.30 every morning. Milking goats and grooming horses were just some of the chores they were expected to do.
Room inspections took on a life of their own. With points for cleanliness and artistic endeavor, even the tassels on the rug were carefully straightened by hand!
Taking 50+ goats and 24 kids from the park and up to the summer farm was a blast. I'm not sure who was leading who.
The weather was epic (as the kids say these days)
The wold enclosure was less than 20 metres from my bedroom. When they started howling late in the evening, a shudder crept up my spine. Magical sound.
The kids really bonded with the goats, learning to distinguish them by their markings rather than their ear tags.

A co-founder of internet giant You Tube is sharing his
Dunedin experience with the world.
The video-sharing website was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve
Chen, and Jawed Karim, and later sold to Google for $US1.65
billion ($NZ1.91 billion) in November 2006.
Mr Hurley and Mr Chen have since set up the company AVOS,
which has offices in California, Beijing and Dunedin.
''At AVOS we are building a common technology platform to
help developers create fun and beautiful apps faster than
ever,'' the website notes.
Mr Hurley, who did not respond to a request for an interview,
posted pictures of himself in Dunedin last week.
On the social media site Twitter he tweeted pictures of the
AVOS Princes St location, ''Chilling at the New Zealand
office!'' and of the Dunedin Railway Station, ''Train to
The internet mogul also tweeted to his 541,000 followers
pictures of Baldwin St, and two pictures from Moeraki,
including one of himself on a Moeraki boulder.
The holiday snaps are in esteemed company, with recent
pictures shared by Mr Hurley including a lunch date at the
White House, at an Oscars after party, and with basketball
star Michael Jordan.

Spirituality can be interpreted in a way that renders one a "doormat," as though spirituality calls for having no preferences or boundaries of one's own. But even awakened people draw boundaries, and take action to benefit the ecological whole.
Silence is the language of God ~ Rumi
Silence is the language of God. A conversation on a quote by Rumi.
What if you fell in love with love itself?
I fell in love with love itself, and pursued it like a lover, always keeping it on my mind. Bursts of ecstasy and bliss resulted and then they spontaneously took over and pursued me…
The True Source of Love
VIDEO: Cindy addresses the limitation of love relationships, soulmates, the true source of love, the reality/unreality of the world via separation, who you think you are, three powers you were born with, fear of a future interview, the suffering of imagination, the happiness lie, suffering after someone's death, the nature of thought, fear being unnecessary, daily death of the thinking mind.
Dear Self, the spiritual version of "Dear Abby"
VIDEO: You are seeking answers to why you feel, act, and react the way you do, or maybe you are even questioning who you are. When the student is ready, the teacher appears (to appear).
Suicide, Love, Joy, and God
Cindy highlights how happenstance happiness, or object happiness, is temporary, while inner joy, peace, and love never sway, no matter what goes on in life. In this way, it is eternal and Divine. But the radio host asks… "Is the joy you speak about self-centred? Listen to her answer now.
What is Your "Why"?
Today I saw a mother bird, desperate to feed her babies, attempting repeatedly to get to them.
Would she die of exhaustion trying to feed her babies, who would then die of starvation? Watch the video.
Until you are free, you need a "why" stronger than your attachment to free yourself.
Mother bird had a pretty big "why." Several of them.
If she had a mind, on the 22nd try she may have thought, "I can't get in," believed it, and gave up. Whether or not birds have any sort of thought, we don't know, but if she did, she certainly did not believe it.
I Want the Relationship to Continue
I Want the Relationship to Continue
[27:28] Participant discovers love never came from another, and how not to dump himself. All relationship is truly with yourself, and need not end.
Transcription coming.
I Wanted Honesty and Unconditional Love
"I think that…I'm unsure of what their actions actually were…and more…concerned with where my mind was going with the situation…not necessarily…I didn't know if they were being dishonest or not I just know how I felt at the time, or what I was thinking at the time." That is a big thing to realize because we never actually suffer as a direct result of what somebody does or says, we suffer about our beliefs about what they did or said. I really suggest you download the book because it talks a lot about mind reads. Mind reads are claiming to know what someone else's intentions (or state) were. If you love this person, and if you what to have true open honesty and pure love with them, then when you notice a mind read, a bade feeling mind read, in your mind–its coming from you don't forget, its not coming from them–ok?
What if you didn't need someone to be happy?
Would you make better choices in a partner?
How much more free and loving could you then be in a relationship?
Some people are so shocked by the idea of not needing someone that they ask, "But, then what would a relationship be for?"
Such a response reveals how deeply their conditioning goes.
Both my generation and the current generation have been raised in a "romantic era" that is more accurately called an "attachment era." The majority of our movies and music proclaim a love that needs the other, and that idea is portrayed as a good, romantic thing. Perhaps it comes from the fear of losing someone and therefore needing them to be your "only one" and "forever."

Reassurances were given at a public meeting in Mosgiel last
night about the capacity of the upgraded Waipori pump
The Otago Regional Council meeting was held to update
residents about flood protection, drainage schemes and flood
Council manager engineering operations Ramon Strong, before
30 people at the Coronation Hall, said two of the four pumps
at the Waipori pump station were incomplete and inoperable
when 195mm of rain fell in eight days in an ''exceedingly
wet'' June last year.
One farmer said he could not understand pump stations being
''out of action'' in high-risk winter months. In the floods,
he lost 32ha of kale to rot.
Mr Strong said the council had intended to have all pumps
operational in June but ''our contractor was a little bit
Despite that, he said the farmer would have lost about the
same amount of crop if all four pumps had been working,
because the floodwater would have remained on his paddocks
for the same amount of time - 10 to 12 days - rotting his
The farmer said the council needed to be proactive and turn
the pumps on before the forecast rain arrived so the water
table could be lowered and provide ''leeway''. Mr Strong said
the Waipori pump station upgrade had made ''giant strides''
in pumping capacity and could handle a large downpour where
the old pump had failed.
The Waipori pump station upgrade between 2008 and 2013 had an
estimated cost of $1.74 million and an actual cost of more
than $1.945 million.
Mr Strong said submissions on the council's 2014-15 draft
annual plan, which included spending on maintaining and
developing flood and drainage schemes, were open until
Friday, May 2. More ''drop in'' sessions with council staff
were being held at the Mosgiel Library today from 10am to 2pm
and 3pm to 5.30pm.

Coal Industry Front Group Sponsoring CNN Democrats Debate Tonight [1]
Kevin Grandia [2] | November 15, 2007
By Kevin Grandia [2] • Thursday, November 15, 2007 - 12:07
A coal industry front group called the "Americans for Balanced Energy Choices" [3] (ABEC), is one of the lead sponsors for tonight's CNN Democratic presidential debate.
ThinkProgress wonders [4] whether candidates will be grilled on where they stand on the issue of "clean coal" electrical generation - which by all accounts remains the dirtiest form of energy production in the United States.
At least ABEC is honest about who funds them, their website states that, [5] "primary funding for ABEC's outreach efforts come from America's coal-based electricity providers." And a list of their supporters can be found on their site here [6].
But any praise for their attempts at disclosure ends there.
Check out the advertisements currently running on their site, set to "Celebrate" by Kool and the Gang. [7] Nowhere is there mention that these ads are bought and paid for, in large part, by a coalition of the largest coal-fired electricity producers in the United States.
What if Peabody Coal had launched this campaign? No doubt there would not be the luster and the appearance of a citizen's driven coalition that the fine folks at ABEC provide for their "supporters."
Back to the presidential campaign.
Just for fun, here's a breakdown of the amounts of money so far received by the top 3 Democrat candidates from the energy and resource sector, according to Open Secrets: [8]
Hilary Clinton [9] - $574,658
Barack Obama [10] - $489,909
John Edwards [11] - $62,306
And just for fun, here's a breakdown of the amounts of money so far received by the top 3 Republican candidates from the energy and resource sector, according to Open Secrets: [8]
Rudy Giuliani [12] - $819,508
Mitt Romney [13] - $635,133
Fred Thompson [14] - $161,704

SunFlowers arrives on US PlayStation Store next week
SunFlowers, the latest game from Flying Hamster developer The Game Atelier and a strong contender for my portable game of the year award, arrives on the US PlayStation Store on October 9. The Vita offering has players cultivating a garden by sending sunlight through roaming hazards, and most unusually, requires you to turn your console sideways. It's both adorable and compelling, and already available on the European store. There's a trial version which will let you play to level six for free should you somehow be unsure whether this is the best thing ever (what's wrong with you).
Thanks, Joystiq.

Stay tuned!
Hämeenkadun Appro is the biggest student event in Finland. Every year in October the streets of Tampere are crowded with students from all over Finland wearing their "uniforms" (i.e. overalls) and having the time of their lives navigating from one bar to another with friends and thousands of others! It is impossible for the people in Tampere NOT to notice what day it is!
Here are the rules in a nutshell. The main idea is to navigate from bar to another to achieve one of our 5 "academic" degrees. The degrees are achieved by drinking a certain amount of certain beverages and also – this can be done only in certain bars! From the amazing accomplishment the participants get highly wanted overall-badges!
The five degrees in Hämeenkadun Appro are:
- Approbatur: Male participants drink 7, female participants 5.
- Cum Laude: Male participants drink 9, female participants 7.
- Laudatur: Male participants drink 12, female participants 10.
- Doctor: Male participants drink 15, female participants 12. This is the ultimate achievement! (don`t be terrified – it can be done!).
- Emeritus: Emeritus is for highly respected participants who have two Doctor's degrees. The quantities are the same as in Doctor's degree ( 15/12).
These degrees aren't freely to choose from. Instead one must carry out these degrees in a specific order: one must start from the Approbatur and the second possible degree is Cum Laude and so on. This means that one can accomplish the Doctor's degree only after three years of training! Emeritus requires more comprehensive training – one must have two Doctor's degrees in order to pursue the goal of Emeritus-level.
The starting point of the event is in the heart of Tampere – at Keskustori ( the central market). This means that every half an hour hundreds of students dash from the gates to their journey. In the central market the DJ will get the contestants warmed up with the latest beats, so the atmosphere is no doubt going to be great! The whole Tampere is sure to stand still as the students get on their way.
After the start the contestants roam around in central Tampere from bar to another. The contestants are to collect hallmarks to their maps which also indicate the bars that are official competition places in the contest. The map also acts as a ticket to the after parties later in the evening, so don´t lose it.
After collecting the right amount of hallmarks the students finally reach the goal which is also at the central market. Time is though limited – doctor and emeritus candidates have five hours time and others only four.
After completing the degree and receiving the overall-badge it is time for the after party. The rest of the evening you will spend partying wildly with thousands of students from all over Finland. The climax of the evening is the performance of a popular finnish artist or a band.
