Ex-Jefferies Managing Director Litvak Gets Two-Year Sentence
Ex-Jefferies & Co. Managing Director Jesse Litvak, deemed an �elite� fraudster by prosecutors for being the only person convicted of fraud over a $20 billion government bailout program, was sentenced to two years in prison for lying to customers about mortgage-backed securities.
Defense lawyers successfully argued that their client deserved less than the maximum 10-year sentence, or the nine years sought by the government, by saying his fraud was less insidious than a typical Ponzi scheme or �boiler room.� Litvak�s lawyers had asked for a maximum 14-month sentence.
Litvak, 39, was found guilty of securities fraud and making false statements, as well as fraud connected to the U.S. Treasury Department�s Troubled Asset Relief Program. His March conviction was the first tied to the Public-Private Investment Program, an initiative that used TARP funds to spur investments in mortgage-backed securities after the 2008 financial crisis.
U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in New Haven, Connecticut said at an earlier hearing that Litvak �exploited the opacity of the RMBS market to his victims� detriment.� Today, she fined him $1.75 million�less than half what prosecutors sought -- in addition to the sentence.
�You lied,� Hall told Litvak today. �Maybe that�s what people do every day on Wall Street. That doesn�t make it legal. If anyone on Wall Street thinks it�s OK to lie, if any message gets out from this trial, I hope that message gets out.�
Litvak has 90 days to surrender to authorities.
In January, Jefferies agreed to pay $25 million to settle U.S. probes of suspected abuses in the trading of mortgage-backed securities. Other banks, including New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co., received requests for information about mortgage-bond trading after Litvak�s arrest, people familiar with the matter have said.
Mortgage-bond traders at Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc and New York-based JPMorgan were placed on leave after those inquiries. Prosecutors and regulators have said they are continuing to investigate traders at New York- based Jefferies, owned by Leucadia National Corp.
Litvak was arrested in January 2013 on charges of defrauding investors of $2 million by misrepresenting how much sellers were asking for the securities, or what customers would pay, and keeping the difference for Jefferies.
Prosecutors had asked Hall to send Litvak to prison for nine years and have him pay a $5 million fine, saying he �perpetrated a multiyear, multivictim, multimillion-dollar securities fraud scheme.�
Defense lawyers sought a sentence of no more than 14 months, saying his actions didn�t affect customer investment decisions, or their returns. They cited more than 100 supportive letters from family, friends, ex-colleagues and customers. Litvak still faces a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit.
At a July 23�hearing, Litvak�s attorney, Patrick Smith, argued that his client�s case is different from many fraud cases, such as Ponzi schemes and boiler rooms, which are intended to take investor money and leave them with nothing.
�It�s very different from a scheme that�s intended to bilk somebody out of their money,� Smith said. The bonds that Litvak sold were �tremendous performers,� and Litvak�s lies didn�t have the same impact as other schemes have on their victims.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Francis responded that Litvak perpetrated his fraud on at least 55 occasions over a period of almost three years, and each time lied to a victim who trusted him.
�Every single time he told a lie he had a price attached to it and he got to name a price,� Francis said. �He decided �This is how much I want to rip off a particular victim.�� Litvak�s conduct was predatory because he took advantage of his customers, Francis said.
�Litvak had superior information to his customers and he capitalized on that,� the prosecutor said. He added that the impact of Litvak�s fraud goes beyond his particular case, as it has an effect on the transparency and honesty of markets.
�He is in an elite class of fraudster,� Francis said.
The Litvak case raised questions about just how much trickery is allowed in trading as witnesses at his trial testified that his tactics were common.
The practice of bond dealers showing clients different prices for the same securities on electronic trading platforms has drawn scrutiny from the SEC, which expressed concern that smaller investors are being penalized, a person familiar with the inquiry has said.
SEC Chair Mary Jo White has said that her agency wants retail bond investors to have the same access to privately negotiated bond prices as big institutions, allowing them to make better decisions about how much to pay for the securities.
While Jefferies cooperated once the scheme was discovered, Litvak wasn�t the only employee who lied to his customers, the government said.
According to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records, the investment firm faced pressure from prosecutors to dismiss one of Litvak�s supervisors, co-head of fixed income William Jennings, while they were investigating suspected trading abuses.
Jennings was �permitted to resign� on Jan. 27 after Jefferies learned that the U.S. Attorney�s Office in Connecticut wouldn�t settle with the company while he was still employed, according to Finra records. The investment bank reached a pact with prosecutors the next day. Jennings hasn�t been charged with wrongdoing.
David Zornow, a lawyer for Jennings at Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom LLP, previously declined to comment on his client and didn�t immediately respond to an email after regular business hours yesterday seeking comment on Litvak�s sentencing.

Captain and ClarkTo get the most out of a meal in India, order a thali plate. These dishes are served on a steel tray with multiple compartments, each holding a different food. Depending on the region, thalis can come with rice, dal, vegetables, curry, yogurt, some form of protein and a small side of pickle or chutney. Arvind Balaraman Getty Images/iStockphotoIf a filling thali plate sounds like too much food, ask for the region's traditional curry. Captain and ClarkWhile the ubiquitous crepe can be found on every corner in France, it's the sweet and decadent delights in the patisseries that are the crown jewels. If you're looking for the perfect pastry to go with your morning coffee and cigarette, grab a freshly baked pain au chocolat. Captain and ClarkLadurée in Paris is hailed for its colorful assortment of macarons. There, one can snack on the beautifully layered mille-feuilles, masterpieces in their own right. Sabino Parente, Getty Images/iStockphotoIf you make it to an authentic Hawaiian luau, kalua pig is almost guaranteed to be served. The term "kalua" literally means to cook in an underground oven, and that's exactly how the pork is prepared. James Agnew, Getty Images/iStockphotoAfter cooking for over seven hours, the pig is removed, the meat shredded and then served with rice, cabbage and poi. This ono dish will have you coming back for more. Captain and ClarkKorean BBQ offers diners an interactive and appetizing experience. With grills strategically built into the center of the table, Korean barbecue restaurants hand over your side dishes and raw meat, and let you handle the rest. Captain and ClarkIf you find yourself hungry in Hungary, look no further than a hearty bowl of goulash. This traditional soup or stew is made of meat, noodles and vegetables and is seasoned with paprika and a variety of other spices. Captain and ClarkWhile it's delicious at all times of the year, it is particularly satisfying in the cold winter months. Captain and ClarkMeat lovers will fulfill their carnivorous desires in the various schnitzels -- boneless, tenderized meat that's coated in bread crumb batter and fried. Captain and ClarkStelze, crispy pork knuckle, is an unconventional snack that leaves one craving it long after the last bite. Captain and ClarkTo savor a local favorite that will blow your mind, head to the distinguished Demel bakery in Vienna for its acclaimed apfelstrudel. This apple strudel is a monument in its own right and is best served with creamy vanilla custard and a cup of coffee. Captain and ClarkThailand is known for its flavorful -- albeit, spicy -- dishes. Get a taste of the country by sampling pad thai, a stir-fried noodle dish that is most commonly sold as casual street food. This meal is both filling and delicious. Captain and ClarkCliche as it may sound, pizza and pasta in Italy is just better. Don't underestimate the food of the country -- it's popular for a reason. Skip the chicken parmigiana and pasta alfredo, and order spaghetti carbonara. Bestzmile, Getty Images/iStockphotoThere's something magical about eating true Italian food in the land of its origin. One can't go wrong with ordering a traditionally made pizza marghertia. Captain and ClarkSynonymous with England, fish and chips is a staple in most English pubs. With over 11,000 "chippie" shops throughout the UK and Ireland, you would be hard pressed to miss this traditional meal. Shaiith, Getty Images/iStockphotoPaired wonderfully with whatever brew is on tap, battered fish and deep-fried french fries will give you a taste of the UK. Captain and ClarkOriginating in Quebec, poutine is composed of a pile of french fries that's smothered in gravy and topped with a generous amount of cheese curds. If you truly want to spoil your taste buds, try a plate garnished with added toppings like bacon, lobster or even truffles. Captain and ClarkLike this topic?

Posted on 03/25/2007 7:55:15 PM PDT by Ultra Sonic 007

Let's debate.
Global warming ping.
ping to e-mail to a certain lib at a later time!
Recommend watching the video.
Oh dear! Someone's funding must be in jeopardy.
People ask "is it clear that human activity is directly responsible for climate change?" The context for answering this question must be another question: to what extent can the climate change all by itself?
The answer to the alternative question is: "a very great deal." Modern human beings appeared some time after about 50,000 years ago, and even then, anthropologists tell us that their numbers were very small until about 4000 years ago. Nonetheless, taking a cautious view, one might only examine climate change prior to 100,000 years ago.
Inferences about climate change before instruments and written records is the province primarily of geologists and geochemists. Their message is a very clear one: Earth has undergone enormous variations in climate state with changes taking place over times ranging from decades to millennia and longer.
Among the most extreme changes are the glacial-interglacial cycles in which, with the continents in their modern configuration dating back several million years, enormous ice caps waxed and waned over the Northern Hemisphere. Thus the UK, as well as all of western Europe, was under several kilometres of ice for thousands of years, interspersed with long intervals of a more benign climate such as that we have today.
These switches have taken place at intervals of between about 80,000 and 120,000 years for the last million years. Prior to that time, they appear to have occurred intermittently at about 40,000 year intervals. Even more dramatic changes took place in the deep past. It has been argued that during the Neogene period (about 24 to 1.8 million years ago), that the entire Earth froze over. Alternatively, over most of Earth's history, there were apparently no glaciers at all.
The glaciations are only the most dramatic of the inferred natural variability of the system.
Another problem concerns the counter-intuitive (for most people) behaviour of the consequences of random fluctuations in systems that have any kind of memory. As an example, consider the situation considered long ago by K. Hasselmann. The ocean is to be regarded as simply a completely passive reservoir of water with an initial temperature, T0. As such, its only physics we care about is its ability to store heat for very long periods (out to thousands of years in some instances).
Now we heat and cool the ocean over some small region using the atmosphere. To determine whether the ocean is to be heated and cooled on any given day, we simply flip a coin: if it's heads, we heat the ocean. If it's tails, we cool it by a like amount. Because we assume we have a true coin, the long-time average temperature of the ocean is the starting temperature, T0. Hasselmann pointed out, however, that the actual time history of temperature in this model ocean is very different from being near T0! Almost all the time, it is rather far from T0; in fact, the probability of its being T0 tends rapidly towards zero.
Most of the time, the ocean is either warm or cold compared to T0 and tends to stay that way for extended periods (we cannot predict whether it will be warm or cold, or the time interval over which it will stay warm or cold, but we can confidently predict the statistics of its departures from T0.
A consequence of this type of behaviour (and which a reader can easily check by having a small computer do the coin-tossing many times) is that systems with a memory of the past history of forcing can have very strange, unintuitive, behaviour that violates "common sense." The behaviour here can be understood by noting that if one tosses a true coin 2 million times, the probability of exactly 1 million heads and 1 million tails is very small. Instead, one expects a finite surplus of one or the other corresponding to excess heating or cooling.
We know that it is capable of remarkable changes without human intervention.
So now we come to the modern climate problem. We know that it is capable of remarkable changes without human intervention. We also know that it has elements with very long memory times (the ocean, the ice caps, and some land processes including the biota). There is the possibility of solar fluctuations about which we know very little. The instrumental record only goes back about 300 years (being very generous) and global coverage is only really available following World War II. In many cases, we have no direct evidence for the spatial structures of natural variations and so find it almost impossible to compare observed changes with those known not influenced by human activities.
Many scientists therefore rely upon numerical models of the climate system to calculate (1) the nature of natural variability with no human interference, and compare it to (2) the variability seen when human effects are included. This approach is a very sensible one, but the ability to test (calibrate) the models, which can be extraordinarily complex, for realism in both categories (1) and (2) is limited by the same observational data base already describe. At bottom, it is very difficult to determine the realism by which the models deal with either (1) or (2)
Thus at bottom, it is very difficult to separate human induced change from natural change, certainly not with the confidence we all seek. In these circumstances, it is essential to remember that the inability to prove human-induced change is not the same thing as a demonstration of its absence. It is probably true that most scientists would assign a very high probability that human-induced change is already strongly present in the climate system, while at the same time agreeing that clear-cut proof is not now available and may not be available for a long-time to come, if ever. Public policy has to be made on the basis of probabilities, not firm proof.
The deceptive methods of the left are very sophisticated...and the would rather attack any opposition.
"The film repeatedly gave the impression that mainstream science argues that CO2 is the sole driver of rising temperatures in the Earth's climate system. But this is not the case.".........
But followed much later in the article by:
"Following the films broadcast, Professor Martin Rees, president of the Royal Society - the government-sponsored academy of sciences for the United Kingdom - has said that many factors contribute to global warming but it is clear that emissions of "greenhouse gases," particularly CO2, are to blame for most of the current temperature rise.".....
Sounds to me like the film was right - and least with repsect to the folks pounding the table with the CO2 show.
Still lying ain't they? More bullshitery! Dreaimg dollar $ign$!
With un involvement, it's pretty clear what this is, the socialist redistribution of wealth without the bloodletting.
Let's talk about the polar bears.
Everyone knows the climate was much warmer during the Medieval Climate Optimum. Viking colonies in Greenland, grape vines in England, etc.
Polar bears exist, therefore they survived much warmer temperatures than we are experiencing now.
I don't want to hear about pretty white polar bears one more time, regarding this.
So we're once again back to an understanding that the Ice Ages ended because cavemen wouldn't swtich to biodiesel to power their SUVs.
What we now have is an out-and-out propaganda piece, in which there is not even a gesture toward balance
As opposed to, um...An Inconvenient Truth?
I have. I liked it.
I just want to see if any facts were inaccurate. It does our side no good (no matter how loony Gore is) to present inaccurate information.
Seems his major criticism is:
Graphs and statistics can be distorted.
The sun's flunctuation and orbital variations don't affect the earth's temperature.
Whatever your results, it's human's fault.
If you receive money from a biased source, like Greenpeace, Sierra Club. WWF or the UN, your results can't be trusted.
Science is mostly a shouting match based on politics.
Thank you. I really want to see this.
Be well.
This guy even quotes wikipedia. Good grief!!
"... the scientific consensus ..."
In science, you can either prove it or you cannot. I don't know how many scientists have signed up with Algore's theory .. but I think it was around 700 or so.
However, there are 17,000 scientists who have signed an ANTI-GLOBAL WARMING document.
So .. THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS - AND PLEASE STOP PEOPLE WHEN THEY TELL YOU THAT.
If you get flak, you're over the target.
That's all this is.
Notice most of it is "attack the messengers", not the science. If you can't refute it, obfuscate.
The same principle, however, does not apply when making decisions about war and peace. Then only absolute and final proof can justify a decision to invade another country.
Of course such proof can never be obtained until after an invasion.
I just changed channels and Falwell is talking about how false global warming is. He does not believe in it.
Polar bears make beautiful posters to gain sympathy for the cause. But whatever happened to baby seals, spotted owls, the adorable dolphins, and those reindeer critters in Alaska?
In other words, CO2 adds to some mysterious warming trend.
Man these people are loons.
The "reindeer critters in Alaska" love the warmth of the pipeline, and birth their babies around it. I can only guess they'd thrive in warmer temperatures.
If nothing else, like the polar bears, their very presence proves they survived a much warmer time.
Notice most of it is "attack the messengers", not the science. If you can't refute it, obfuscate.
Sort of like a trail lawyer: If the facts aren't on your side argue the law. If the law isn't on your side argue the facts. If neither are on your side, pound on the table.
Oh gosh darn! That's the first thing to look for! Good catch. These guys think the msm is right wing.
In other words, CO2 adds to some mysterious warming trend.
Man these people are loons.
What they fail to explain is that "positive feedback" (aka "feed forward" loops) have the interesting characteristic that they culminate in some climatic event. An example is orgasm. What, I wonder, does he propose as the culminating event to this feed forward scenario?
Follow the (public tax dollars for "grants" and "studies") money.
Dude that is funny has hell.
No, it doesn't. Science may not be consensus, but at least we would need consensus on the probabilities, and we don't have it.
Why should we cripple and bankrupt ourselves over this hyped-up and misrepresented "calamity" when we almost totally ignore another possible global threat?
I'd like to see us spend a fraction of what Al Gore and his neo-Luddites would have us waste, on a system of detecting and dealing with the threat of large asteroids impacting Earth.
The probabilities involved in such a scenario are a lot easier to calculate, and the amelioration far less expensive for the desired results.
Al Gore has politicized "global warming" and attempted to turn the scientific community against itself. He has become the little boy who cried, "Wolf!"
The environmental movement cries wolf. Al Gore joined the chorus.
"Okay, so, the preachers made a mistake. They got one prediction wrong; they're human. So what. Unfortunately, it's not just one prediction. It's a whole slew of them. We are running out of oil. We are running out of all natural resources. Paul Ehrlich: 60 million Americans will die of starvation in the 1980s. Forty thousand species become extinct every year. Half of all species on the planet will be extinct by 2000. And on and on and on.
"With so many past failures, you might think that environmental predictions would become more cautious. But not if it's a religion. Remember, the nut on the sidewalk carrying the placard that predicts the end of the world doesn't quit when the world doesn't end on the day he expects. He just changes his placard, sets a new doomsday date, and goes back to walking the streets. One of the defining features of religion is that your beliefs are not troubled by facts, because they have nothing to do with facts." -- "Environmentalism as Religion" Michael Crichton

NASA Finds Sun-Climate Connection in Old Nile Records
NASA Finds Sun-Climate Connection in Old Nile Records
Long-term climate records are a key to understanding how Earth's climate changed in the past and how it may change in the future. Direct measurements of light energy emitted by the sun, taken by satellites and other modern scientific techniques, suggest variations in the sun's activity influence Earth's long-term climate. However, there were no measured climate records of this type until the relatively recent scientific past.
Scientists have traditionally relied upon indirect data gathering methods to study climate in the Earth's past, such as drilling ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica. Such samples of accumulated snow and ice drilled from deep within ice sheets or glaciers contain trapped air bubbles whose composition can provide a picture of past climate conditions. Now, however, a group of NASA and university scientists has found a convincing link between long-term solar and climate variability in a unique and unexpected source: directly measured ancient water level records of the Nile, Earth's longest river.
Alexander Ruzmaikin and Joan Feynman of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., together with Dr. Yuk Yung of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif., have analyzed Egyptian records of annual Nile water levels collected between 622 and 1470 A.D. at Rawdah Island in Cairo. These records were then compared to another well-documented human record from the same time period: observations of the number of auroras reported per decade in the Northern Hemisphere. Auroras are bright glows in the night sky that happen when mass is rapidly ejected from the sun's corona, or following solar flares. They are an excellent means of tracking variations in the sun's activity.
Feynman said that while ancient Nile and auroral records are generally "spotty," that was not the case for the particular 850-year period they studied.
"Since the time of the pharaohs, the water levels of the Nile were accurately measured, since they were critically important for agriculture and the preservation of temples in Egypt," she said. "These records are highly accurate and were obtained directly, making them a rare and unique resource for climatologists to peer back in time."
A similarly accurate record exists for auroral activity during the same time period in northern Europe and the Far East. People there routinely and carefully observed and recorded auroral activity, because auroras were believed to portend future disasters, such as droughts and the deaths of kings.
"A great deal of modern scientific effort has gone into collecting these ancient auroral records, inter-comparing them and evaluating their accuracy," Ruzmaikin said. "They have been successfully used by aurora experts around the world to study longer time scale variations."
The researchers found some clear links between the sun's activity and climate variations. The Nile water levels and aurora records had two somewhat regularly occurring variations in common - one with a period of about 88 years and the second with a period of about 200 years.
The researchers said the findings have climate implications that extend far beyond the Nile River basin.
"Our results characterize not just a small region of the upper Nile, but a much more extended part of Africa," said Ruzmaikin. "The Nile River provides drainage for approximately 10 percent of the African continent. Its two main sources - Lake Tana in Ethiopia and Lake Victoria in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya - are in equatorial Africa. Since Africa's climate is interrelated to climate variability in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, these findings help us better understand climate change on a global basis."
So what causes these cyclical links between solar variability and the Nile? The authors suggest that variations in the sun's ultraviolet energy cause adjustments in a climate pattern called the Northern Annular Mode, which affects climate in the atmosphere of the Northern Hemisphere during the winter. At sea level, this mode becomes the North Atlantic Oscillation, a large-scale seesaw in atmospheric mass that affects how air circulates over the Atlantic Ocean. During periods of high solar activity, the North Atlantic Oscillation's influence extends to the Indian Ocean. These adjustments may affect the distribution of air temperatures, which subsequently influence air circulation and rainfall at the Nile River's sources in eastern equatorial Africa. When solar activity is high, conditions are drier, and when it is low, conditions are wetter.
Study findings were recently published in the Journal of Geophysical Research.

Without knowing more details of how Durkin may have manipulated the data plotted in his graph, it is difficult to comment on the presentation. What we can say is that Durkins "four decades of cooling", implying a relentless temperature drop over 40 years, is not an accurate description of the trend over this period.
Now who's being deceptive? (again) If they are now saying this wasn't true, then what did these global warming alarmists base all their "global cooling" cries in the 70's on? Surely they don't think we have forgotten all the cries of imminent doom and gloom, and how we needed to take immediate action to stop "global cooling".
That's the problem with lying. Eventually a liar forgets the lies he's told previously and ends up contradicting himself.
""The Day after Tomorrow"
I LOVE that movie! Of course I love whole earth disaster movies as a whole anyway!
There is value in having the ability to make people believe in nonsense.
I thought I saw reports that temperatures on other planets are also rising.
Wouldn't this indicate that the warming is a broader phenomenon than the "human-caused" hypothesis?
The fact that this article cavalierly dismisses the idea that the sun may be the driving force in Earth's warming would seem to conflict with this more generally observed extra-planetary warming.
If it was a 'feedback effect', then warming would continue AFTER the CO2 peaked.
It doesn't.
Therefore, his claim that the reason CO2 lags Warming because of a 'feedback effect' is completely false.
We get to decide; after all the stakes are too high...
Blah blah blah...
Same ol' same ol'.
Thanks for Crichton link. I read his book but hadn't seen this.
Doesn't matter how many moonbat links they provide, they never address fundamental "scientific" questions, like why for tens of thousands of years does CO2 increases always lag temperature rises, by significant amounts of time?
Actually, most scientists do not.
That sneaky phrase, "would assign a very high probability" is thoroughly false.
So that the rest of your paragraph is non-sensical.
But thank you for sharing your opinion.
This fiction has been challenged since at least 1995, when the following protest By one of the scientists in the then current IPCC report,
"In the early 1990s Lindzen was asked to contribute to the IPCC's 1995 report. At the time, he held (and still does) that untangling human influences from the natural variation of the global climate is next to impossible. When the report's summary came out, he was dismayed to read its conclusion: "The balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate."
"That struck me as bizarre," he says. "Because without saying how much the effect was, the statement had no meaning. If it was discernible and very small, for instance, it would be no problem."
Environmentalist Bill McKibbon referred to this phrase in an article in The Atlantic in May 1998: "The panel's 2,000 scientists, from every corner of the globe, summed up their findings in this dry but historic bit of understatement."
In an angry letter, Lindzen wrote that the full report "takes great pains to point out that the statement has no implications for the magnitude of the effect, is dependent on the [dubious] assumption that natural variability obtained from [computer] models is the same as that in nature, and, even with these caveats, is largely a subjective matter."
Please provide the link to the anti gore scientist...I wish to put it on my mail list...Gorebots will never care, but we must get the word out...
They already shut down the expansion of nuclear power, limited oil exploration in the US, and locked up the biggest coal reserves in a national monument.

Q. The finished part of our basement needs updating -- the walls are dingy and the carpet is worn and smells faintly of cat urine in a couple spots (they had cats). We want to paint the walls/ceiling and replace the carpet.
The walls aren't painted but are covered by textured plaster. There are a few plaster patches where we had electrical work done, and the plastering doesn't match. Can we paint over textured plaster? Will the patch jobs look funny then? Or, should we get someone to come in to re-plaster?

Work in Progress[edit]
This is a work in progress. I will clean this up and add details as time permits, and the spirit moves me.
Early Life (1961-1980)[edit]
Born June 17, 1961, in New York City, New York, as George Anthony Hecht, Jr., the son of George A. Hecht (July 27, 1900- November 24, 2000) of New York City, and Elaine (June 10, 1927 - February 28, 1983) of Jersey City, New Jersey. His Mother had been a social worker for Monmouth County while residing in Sea Bright, New Jersey until her death at Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank. His Father was a bookseller, retiring in 1975 as President of Doubleday & Company where he had worked since graduating Columbia University.
Both parents were members of the Roman Catholic Church, and he was first baptized Catholic, but within a month re-baptized in the Episcopal Church in the United States of America and was raised as "High" Episcopalan.
Until his parents divorced in 1964, the family lived in the Greenwich Village/Washington Square Park area, afterwards he lived in several areas, but primarily Rumson, Sea Bright, and the Upper East Side of Manhattan until September 1972 when he began to attend boarding school.
Known as "Tony" since childhood, he attended Rumson Country Day School (http://www.rcds.org/) for Kindergarten through Fourth grade, and then St. Paul's School, a college preparatory boarding school in Garden City, New York, graduating summa cum laude June 1980. St. Paul's School was part of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, and used the "First Form" to "Sixth Form" nomenclature, as has been used in the private school education in England.
College and beyond (1980-1987)[edit]
He attended The American University in Northwest Washington, DC as an undergraduate student from September 1980 - June 1983, in the School of International Service. His academic major was International relations, with duel minors in Political science and American History.
During this time in Washington, he was a Congressional intern for Representative James J. Howard, (D-NJ), as well as the College Democrats, and the Democratic National Committee.
After battling alcoholism, then a job as Night Manager at the Holiday Inn of West Long Branch, New Jersey, he went to work for T & D Software, Inc. (d.b.a. The Program Store) in Eatontown, New Jersey. After several years, and being the product of the Peter Principle, he gave two weeks notice and enlisted in the United States Navy in September 1987.
Early Military Life (1987-1991)[edit]
After recruit training in Orlando, Florida and advanced training, called A School, in Dam Neck, Virginia, he began his service in Naval intelligence with his first tour was on USS Independence (CV-62) from 1988-1991.
He joined the Independence during the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in April 1988. Later, set sail 15 August from Norfolk, the ship transited the tip of South America and arrived at her new homeport of NAS North Island, part of Naval Station San Diego, California, 8 October, 1988.
In June 1990, Independence began her first WESTPAC since 1965. While near Diego Garcia "Indy" was sent to deter Iraqi aggression and what would later be called Operation Desert Shield. Arriving on station in the Gulf of Oman on August 5, 1990, Independence was later the first carrier to enter the Persian Gulf since 1974. The ship remained on station for more than 90 days and permanently reestablished a U.S. naval presence in the region. She returned to San Diego on December 20, 1990.
Independence changed homeports again on September 11, 1991—this time to Yokosuka, Japan, becoming the Navy's only permanently forward-deployed aircraft carrier. While in Japan, he re-enlisted for four more years in the Navy on the Japanese battleship Mikasa. In October 1991, he finished his tour and PCS'ed off Independence as an Intelligence Specialist Second Class, a Non-commissioned officer.
First Shore Duty (1991-1994)[edit]
In November 1991, Tony checks into the USAF's 548th Reconnaissance Technical Group (548th RTG) at Hickam Air Force Base; which in 1992 became part of the Joint Intelligence Center Pacific (JICPAC). JICPAC provided direct intelligence support for all military forces assigned to the Commander, United States Pacific Command (CDRUSPACOM). After three years of duty in Hawaii, he left to go back to sea in November 1994 as an Intelligence Specialist First Class.
For more information, see also:
While there, he lived in Ewa Beach for the first year then moved to Aiea where he lived until November 1994.
Back to Sea (1994-1997)[edit]
In 1994, Tony reported as the first Assistant Intelligence Officer (N2A) to the staff of COMPHIBRON SEVEN (CPR-7), with deployments on the USS New Orleans (LPH-11) and the USS Boxer (LHD-4).
June of 1995 saw New Orleans underway for WESTPAC operations. She was present to support the Marine raid on the Al Hamra Facility on October 24, 1995. She returned to San Diego on December 22, 1995.
Boxer deployed to the Western Pacific 24 March 1997 to 24 September 1997, along with Ogden (LPD-5) and Fort Fisher (LSD-40), and visited many foreign ports of call.
Tony finished his second sea tour and departed for shore duty in November 1997.
Shore duty in Alameda (1997-2000)[edit]
In November 1997 Tony reported to the Joint Interagency Task Force West (JIATF West), working maritime drug interdiction at Coast Guard Island in Alameda, California. While living in San Leandro, he took night classes at University of California, Berkeley.
For more information, see also:
Once more to Sea (2000-2004)[edit]
After shore duty in Alameda, in November 2000 he reported to the staff of Commander, Cruiser-Destroyer Group One (COMCRUDESGRU ONE), and completed two deployments on the USS Constellation (CV-64).
Constellation's 20th deployment began on 16 March 2001. She entered the Persian Gulf on 30 April and immediately commenced operations in support of Operation Southern Watch (OSW). She ceased OSW operations on 4 August, having conducted multiple air strikes in response to Iraqi violations of the no-fly zone. On 11 September Connie had just departed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, with dependents on board for the traditional Tiger Cruise on the final leg to San Diego, when word was received of the terrorist attacks on New York and the Pentagon. Despite discussions about turning the battle group around, the carrier was allowed to complete her regularly scheduled deployment. Connie arrived in San Diego on 15 September 2001.
Following an abbreviated turnaround cycle, Constellation prepared for her final deployment and the opportunity to fight in the global war on terrorism. She departed in October 2002 and was soon supporting Operation Enduring Freedom; on 17 December she entered the Persian Gulf to begin OSW missions. On 19 March 2003, with two carriers in the eastern Mediterranean and three in the gulf, Operation Iraqi Freedom commenced. Connie was designated a night carrier and remained on station throughout the major ground combat phase. She launched more than 1,500 sorties and CVW-2 aircraft delivered over 1.7 million pounds (770,000 kg) of ordnance.
During this tour, he maintained an apartment in Hillcrest, a neighborhood in San Diego.
Shore duty in Washington (2004-2008)[edit]
After completing over 36 months assigned to CCDG-1, he departed for the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) in the Washington, DC suburb of Suitland, and his final tour of service in the US Navy, checking in to ONI in July 2004. He is presently the Fleet Support Advocate on the staff of Commander, Office of Naval Intelligence.
For more information, see also:
He is living in an apartment adjacent to The Catholic University of America in the neighborhood of Brookland in the Northeast quadrant of Washington, D.C..

The UN Special Committee on Decolonization is meeting this week at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The Committee - known as C-24- consists of representatives of 29 countries and addresses the situation of 17 dependent territories, including Gibraltar and the Malvinas/Falklands Islands, two matters of importance to Spain and Argentina, respectively.
We fail to counteract the seductive narrative of violent extremism because we do not engage it on its own terms. We talk above it and around it, but not straight at it. Reducing our values to war cries in the mouths of statesmen is an ineffective way to bring those among us who might be seduced back into the fold.
Last week marked the 100th birthday of Jack Parsons, a founder of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Aerojet-Rocketdyne and the inventor of the solid fuel that put man on the moon. In a display of pure serendipity this week, his widow Cameron, will be honored with the first-ever retrospective of her art at MOCA Pacific Design Center.
Needless to say, we've put the events of August 1814 far behind us. So much so, in fact, that when the British prime minister, David Cameron, visited the White House two years ago, he and President Obama, fresh from watching a March Madness basketball game together, traded wisecracks about the burning.

Cloud Atlas
In one word...breathtaking
It is rated R, so view at your own risk.
Finally got around to Iron Man 3. It was great! I wish they never changed War Machine though, since that's my favorite suit. All the suits coming together towards the end was great.

I have claimed the Almighty Charizard.
Watched Planet of the Apes (1968) and my God this movie is brilliant. I know a lot of people think the movies from the 60's and 70's are cheesy (and let's be honest, some of the things and effects in even this movie are groan-inducing) but you should put that aside for this one. It is truly an avant gard film, one I can't recommend enough.

Saw a street car named desire with some friends. It's pretty old now but still I thought it was really good
The Great Gatsby yesterday. It wasn't nearly as bad as I had anticipated it to be upon reading the reviews and seeing (and despising) Lurhmann's 'Romeo + Juliet'.
Running for the thrill of it
A Night at the Roxbury. So good.
Fast and the Furious 6
I watched it in a special advanced screening (at least here in my country). Overall, good movie, great acting and good effects but again, not the best I've seen but good enough.

Star Trek Into Darkness. I enjoyed it a lot. I'd put it equal to the first. Cumberbatch did a great job!

Flying swords of dragon gate
Last watched was Skyfall.
I like the series as a whole and I figured that I wanted to watch the latest James Bond film.
Saw Argo the other day. You could cut the tension of the last ten minutes of the film with a knife. And some scenes are pretty damn funny. Definitely recommend.
I saw Frost. This one was not really good
Alien Vs Predator
pretty good, ive never seen any of the silken or predator movies but this one didn't require seeing them and I found that to be a plus.

Bridget Jones' Diary: The Edge of Reason
My god, why do I like this film so much? What the hell is wrong with me?
Was that really it? Will wondered. Was that what they were all doing, looking for someone less different? Was that what he was doing? Rachel was dynamic and thoughtful and focused and caring and different in more ways than he could count, but the whole point of Rachel, as far as Will was concerned, was that she wasn't him. There was a flaw in Katrina's logic, then. This thing about looking for someone less different ... It only really worked, he realised, if you were convinced that being you wasn't so bad in the first place.

Socialite Hits Up 1,310 of Her Closest E-mail Friends for Charity Donation
Memo to socialite Emma Snowdon-Jones: next time you send a mass e-mail to over one thousand of New York's media and social luminaries, try the blind-carbon-copy function! That way, one of those 1,310 people won't embarrass you by forwarding it to websites like this one (awkward!) Ms. Snowdon-Jones sent the e-mail for donations to charity:water—for her birthday—and an explosion ensued. It reads like a very stressful cocktail party! A cornucopia of names hand-picked from the mayhem:Nightlife and Bungalow 8 queen Amy Sacco, Andrew Kennedy, Ronson mom Ann Dexter-Jones, former Dalton teacher and Schooled author Anisha Lakhani, professional gossip Ben Widdicombe, Bronson Van Wyck (the expressway was named after his family), Caroline Rowley, Charles Rockefeller, Charlotte Ronson, Danielle Vreeland, NYLON magazine's Dani Stahl, David Gruning, socialblogger David Patrick Columbia, Social Life magazine's Devorah Rose, New York magazine's Emily Nussbaum, socialite Fabiola Beracasa, someone named "Hannah Chadwick Tippy Tart," Mens Vogue's dandy Hud Morgan, soccer player Aaron Chandler, clothing designer Izzy Gold, Lauren Bush, Misshape's Leigh Lezark, model-actress Natasha Henstridge, rock-and-roll photographer Mick Rock, attorney Petra Von Ziegesar, society photographer Patrick McMullan, a bunch of Soho House people, and socialite Olivia Palermo (she once told Page Six magazine she wants to be a "brand" when she grows up.) God, I need a drink. Update! From charity:water:
"Emma has now raised more than $8,000 for water wells in Africa. She's helped more than 1,000 people get clean and safe drinking water and has been a tireless supporter of the cause. It just kills us to see her crucified because we gave her bad information. We take full responsibility for the mistake, she used our online Spread the Word widget and was given incorrect information by a volunteer that it would NOT reveal her friend's addresses (she asked). It is entirely our fault. we feel awful and apologize sincerely to all her contacts."

AUBURN — There's a lot Jonathan Jones needs to improve on.
The Auburn cornerback has been a regular contributor on special teams, but lacks game experience in the secondary.
Deficient skills haven't kept Jones off the field — far from it, according to his coaches — it's been a rash of injuries. In his two seasons on the Plains, Jones has sat more games due to injury (five) than he has starts (three).
"I just pray for good health," Auburn cornerbacks coach Melvin Smith said. "Jonathan has not been healthy. He's had some bad luck, but he hasn't missed a practice. He did a really good job for me this spring, I was impressed, and he's having a really good fall camp."
With starting field corner Jonathon Mincy suspended for at least the start of the season opener with Arkansas, Jones is set to return to the starting lineup for the first time since late in the 2012 season.
The coaching staff is confident in the 5-foot-10, 182-pound junior to deliver on the promise he shows on the practice field.
"We look at JJ as a starter," defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson said. "That being said, I don't think he's a 75-play guy. He has excellent cover skills, great third down player; we'll be very comfortable if he starts."
Jones had just 11 tackles in an injury-plagued 2013 season.
He missed the first four games of last season due to a broken ankle suffered when he slipped on some steps.
"Just going down the steps, had my cleats on," Jones said, "and it just happened."
He returned for the Ole Miss game, made a key special teams play, and got hurt again, though not seriously.
Jones played on defense in the second half of the season, then the injury bug got him again in the BCS National Championship game. He pulled his hamstring during Kermit Whitfield's kickoff return touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The cliché of worrying about what you can control applies to Jones like it does all of his teammates, but part of Smith's message for him this offseason also focused on his wellbeing.
"First he wanted me to stay healthy," Jones said. "After that, it was keep focusing on the little things that make you a batter corner: finishing, finishing on plays when you're near the ball, finishing on the ball when it's in the air."
Smith has been very high on Jones for the last year, lauding his skills and comparing the Carrollton, Georgia native to the far more experienced Mincy.
"He has great speed. He's really polished," Smith said. "I've been on him about his technique. I want him to bend more sometimes in man coverage. … I love Jonathan. He's athletic, he can run. He's smart, he understands what I want, he knows what I want. I foresee some special stuff for him."
Everything is predicated on the big if — can Jones stay healthy to live up to the praise he receives? Auburn will know on Aug. 30.
"I see Jonathan as a starter, as an SEC winner," Smith said. "I see him in the same light that I see Mincy. … The only thing is JJ's got to do it in a game."

Call (888) 651-9785
Thomas and his driver were prompt and professional. We especially enjoyed hearing from Thomas about the history of Lithuania and how the monuments of the city reflect aspects of that history. We also got excellent recommendations about how to spend our time for the remainder of our stay in Vilnius. The restaurant suggestions were well appreciated, too. I would recommend this short 2 hrs. tour either as a beginning to a longer stay in Vilnius, or as a summary of important places and ideas in the city.
I had a great time!
Our tour guide Tomas was very informative and knowledgeable of Vilnius. A very good mix of old town and outside the city center. Definitely a thumbs up for us!
I took the Vilnius City Sightseeing Tour with my parents. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour gives you a good overview of the city with a few stops to explore up close and personal. I highly recommend taking the tour.
Theexperience was only positive. From the time that the bus picked us up on time at the hotel right through the whole experience. We had a travel guide called Helena and she was magnificant. Full of energy and very knowledgable even on broader topics besides only Vilnius. Truly a solid introduction of Vilnius at a very reasonable price.
Manfred M Australia
Julija our guide was very enthusiastic and informative about Vilnius and all places we visited. She was pleased to answer any questions and made it a fun day.
We highly recommend her as a guide
Great tour. As i went in Winter, was lucky enough to have a private tour. The guide did a great job and was very knowledgeable. We squeezed in all the key sites around Vilnius, with others left for you to visit at your leisure after the tour. I actually found the length of the tour very good - Vilnius isnt a big city, so its nice to get a taster of things and then be left to your own devices and explore. Highly recommended.
Excellent guide! Beautiful city!
I was fortunate enough to be the only person on this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating and the tour gave me an excellent insight into the history of Vilnius and Lithuania.
We loved Vilnius, a beautiful city. Our guide, Anna, answered all our questions and more. We will return to Lithuania.
Great guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Thanks!
Elena B. Israel
We loved Vilnius City Sightseeing Tour, our guide even half an hour after the scheduled time to tell and show us the city and did not want to leave
Gualberto A Argentina
all ok
Same tour guide as our Trakai Castle tour and it was amazing!
very good
Jennifer M Spain
The guide was excellent, interesting and amusing. It was a good mixture of bus and walking.
D. B United Kingdom
The sightseeing trip was worth every penny. Vilnius is a beautiful city and very interesting indeed. Unfortunately we only had a few days in Vilnius. We had the good fortune to be the only couple with the guide on the sightseeing trip, hence we did not miss out on anything and could fire as many questions as possible. The guide enlightened us about the history of Lithuania. Not to be missed - absolutely loved it!
Cathy H Ireland
Our guide was very informative and gave us a good account of her life in Vilnius during the Russian occupation. We were the only 2 people on the tour, probably because it was off season...therefore, we got personalised treatment! We did the tour on our first morning which was great as we really had our bearings after it.
Delwyn N Australia
Worth doing very informative.
Our tour guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable, especially for being his first tour
Tour start was a little late as we were the only 2 on it on ten minutes earlier was doable. We saw the sights as advertised and Anna was an engaging tour guide. It took less time than advertised but there was no traffic on a Saturday and since we were only ones on the tour the loading and unloading was quicker. I would have liked to hear more about the history of the city in the last 100 years especially the soviet years.
The guide, even though she spoke limited English, was very good. I had not realized the tour would be a walking tour, but it worked out well, and we went to the major attractions. The tour gave me a good idea of where everything was located.
Excellent tour guide. Very informative. Would definitely recommend this tour for those who want to get to know Vilnius!
Gerhard M Germany
good organisation, just in time. Good guide with precise knowlidge of history and locations.
Juan H Ireland
Very informative and comprehensive tour, prompt pick up and seamless efficiency

Shutdown Suspense, Stubborn Retirement Backlog, Details on the Inauguration Day Holiday and More
- By GovExec Staff
- December 7, 2016
- Leave a comment
Uncertainty continues to be a theme for feds as Congress races against a Friday deadline to avoid a government shutdown. Negotiators unveiled a continuing resolution Tuesday evening that would keep government open through April 28. Unfortunately for feds, however, the measure contains some controversial provisions, including a waiver allowing Gen. James Mattis to serve as Defense Department secretary despite retiring from the military relatively recently (in 2013).
The House is expected to vote on the CR Thursday, and the Senate is expected to follow suit on Friday, which is the deadline for avoiding a shutdown. If a senator moves to filibuster the measure, the clock will expire and the government will close.
The good news is that if Congress does approve the CR over objections from Democrats, who weren't happy with the process for arriving at the stopgap spending measure, then lawmakers have cleared one of the final hurdles for civilian federal employees' pay raise, set by President Obama at 1.6 percent. Congress can interfere with Obama's plan at any point before the new year, but the annual spending bill typically provides the best opportunity to do so and Congress did not include any language to that...
Details on 2017 Locality Pay, a Surprise With the Military Raise, and More
- By GovExec Staff
- November 30, 2016
- Leave a comment
Federal employees are facing a lot of uncertainty during the presidential transition. But this week brought clarity to several shorter-term pay issues.
On Tuesday the Obama administration released details on locality pay rates for 2017. California's Bay Area and the Washington, D.C., region will receive the biggest locality pay boosts next year. Bay Area feds will see their locality rate increase 1.32 percentage points from 35.75 percent in 2016 to 37.07 percent of their base salary for 2017. Those in the D.C. area will receive a 1.26 percent bump in 2017, from 24.78 percent of their base salary this year to 26.04 percent for next year.
The "rest of the U.S." rate will increase next year to 14.74 percent from 14.35 percent in 2016. Click here for the full list of 2017 locality pay rates. The new rates will go into effect in the first pay period of the new year.
Locality pay is just one piece of the civilian raise. President Obama in August officially recommended an overall 1.6 percent pay boost in 2017 for civilian federal employees, composed of a 1 percent base increase and...
Overtime Pay, Bonuses, Firefighter Benefits and More
- By GovExec Staff
- November 23, 2016
- Leave a comment
The Office of Personnel Management on Monday issued a final rule that would extend health care benefits to part-time federal firefighters. The rule affects thousands of emergency personnel brought on to handle wildfires every year.
President Obama directed the change in 2012.
Agencies will be able to give employees slightly larger bonuses in 2017 after a six-year freeze on performance awards, according to new guidance from the Obama administration. GovExec's Kellie Lunney has the story here.
Feds eligible for overtime might have noted that on Monday, OPM proposed revisions to regulations associated with the Fair Labor Standards Act to clarify coverage under the law and to ensure that intended overtime protections are fully implemented. Those changes look increasingly unlikely, however, as the Trump administration seeks to roll back many regulations from the Obama era.
House Republicans are currently in the process of making lists of regulations that fall within their time frame and could potentially be repealed early next year. One of the major ones they're eyeing is Obama's overtime rule that requires companies to pay time-and-a-half to employees who make under roughly $47,000. The rule is set to go into effect...
2017 Holidays, Pay and Benefits During Transitions, and More
- By GovExec Staff
- November 16, 2016
- Leave a comment
Amid all the fallout from the divisive presidential campaigns, there is at least one thing lawmakers seem able to agree on: the Secret Service agents who worked overtime to protect the candidates deserve to be fully compensated. Right now, some agents are owed as much as $30,000 to $40,000 in overtime pay they could not collect because that income would have pushed them over a statutory cap that limits their annual salary to that of a General Schedule-15, step 10 employee.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday approved a bill (H.R. 6302) that would provide agents with temporary relief from this pay cap for 2016, freeing up $22 million to allow "almost everyone" at the agency to receive their full pay retroactively, according to sponsor Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah.
Meanwhile, the committee is looking at longer term solutions to the problem. The panel held a hearing Tuesday examining how short-staffing contributed to the need for overtime, and Democrats said they would introduce a bill to automatically lift the pay cap every four years during presidential elections.
Secret Service agents are likely not the only federal employees who are tired after the election. With a...
Pay and Benefits Under Trump, Best Cities for Vets, and More
- By Kellie Lunney
- November 9, 2016
- Leave a comment
It's too soon to tell what effect the 2016 presidential and congressional elections will have on federal pay and benefits. But based on what we've heard and seen from President-Elect Donald Trump and many Republican lawmakers so far, we could be in for some changes.
Trump himself hasn't specifically mentioned any pay or benefits proposals affecting federal employees, but he has talked about a governmentwide hiring freeze and shrinking the workforce through attrition. (Though he also has expressed support for beefing up personnel at the Homeland Security Department.) Vice President-Elect Mike Pence has consistently supported limiting the size of the federal workforce and moving government employees to a pay-for-performance system.
And there's been no shortage of congressional proposals over the past several years that have targeted federal workers' pay, bonuses, pensions and job security. Some of them – including increasing the amount new federal employees contribute to their retirement annuity and making it easier to fire career senior executives at the Veterans Affairs Department – have become law. We could see similar ideas emerge, and succeed, more frequently in a Republican-controlled government. We'll be watching and reporting on it all in the months and years to come...

Our Hair Care Serum combines nourishing actives for the hair and our Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF).
We started with powerful active ingredients that can help promote hair growth in both men and women. Actives like Saw Palmetto and Grape Seed Proanthocyanidins were added to help with poor scalp micro-circulation, follicle atrophy caused by dihydrotestosterone, and follicle aging. Then full nutrition was provided to compensate for loss of nutrients to the scalp brought about by poor blood irrigation. Finally, our Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), also known as FGF-7, heparin-binding growth factor-7 (HBGF-7), and a member of the fibroblast growth factor family, completes the serum. KGF has been found to stimulate hair growth.*

Husky Softball Opens NSIC season
It was a tough start to the conference season for the St. Cloud State softball team as they were swept by Minnesota-Duluth and took 1 of 2 games from Bemidji State. Wednesday in Duluth saw the Huskies falter defensively as they lost game one 6-2 and game two 9-6. Husky freshman sensation Ally Koski continued to swing a hot bat as she belted her team leading 7th home run of the year in game two against the Bulldogs.
The Huskies traveled northwest from Duluth to Bemidji still looking for their first conference win and got it against the Beavers in dramatic fashion. SCSU second baseman Jackie Dooley provided the offensive spark in the 5-2 11 inning win as she went 3 for 4 from the plate with 3 runs batted in . The Beavers were able to get the split in game two, shutting out the Huskies 2-0.
SCSU is now 14-12 overall and 1-3 in the NSIC. The Huskies will head down to Mankato to take on the Mavericks in a conference doubleheader on April 7th. First pitch is at 2 p.m.
