Mexico, and the fall-out from the sudden devaluation of its currency in December, dominated the regular winter meeting of the G7 finance ministers and central bank governors in Toronto.
Angered that they had not been sufficiently consulted over the IMF's $17.8bn contribution to the deal and concerned that it been handed to Mexico without the normal conditions, six states, including Britain, took the highly unusual step of abstaining in the IMF vote on it last Tuesday.
The talks represented an awkward debut on the international circuit for the new US Treasury Secretary, Robert Rubin, who was forced to defuse a row that had erupted last week between Washington and several European capitals over the handling of a $50bn rescue package for Mexico.
While acknowledging that his colleagues had cause for complaint, Mr Rubin said the US had little choice but to move quickly to prevent further loss of market confidence. "There simply wasn't the time to do the consultations that we, as much as anyone else, would have like to do," he said, adding: "To the extent that there was ill-will, I think it is now eliminated".
Paul Martin, the Canadian Finance Minister and chairman of the meeting, stressed afterwards that there had been "unanimous and unequivocal" support among ministers for the rescue package.
The road to agreement on institutional reform looks still more fraught, however. Although modernisation of the 50-year-old IMF and its sister body, the World Bank, has for some time been down for discussion at this year's G7 summit, to be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, it is now certain to take centre stage in the light of the Mexican debacle.
Britain is likely to work between now and the June summit to forestall efforts to force through any kind of radical reform agenda. A senior UK Treasury official commented drily: "I hope that Halifax doesn't produce a diktat or a fait accompli or anythinglike that."
Especially contentious would be any proposal for an additional supply of funding for the IMF, something the fund's managing director, Michel Camdessus, hinted at publicly last week. Ironically, in practice the US administration may find it more difficultthan anyone to produce new funding, given the new Republican majority on Capitol Hill and its protectionist sentiment.
Although he gave no specifics, Mr Rubin made clear his desire to see an extensive overhaul of the IMF to equip it to respond more aptly to a new environment of vast and rapidly moving capital flows. "We live in a world that has changed enormously even inthe last five years", he said. "The mission and capability of the IMF need to be commensurate with the world we live in."
A similar stance was adopted by the French Finance Minister, Edmond Alphondery arguing that the IMF should be able to mobilise short-term funds more easily. "I would like the IMF to have a kind of facility to make it respond more quickly to situations like Mexico," he said, apparently picking up on an IMF proposal for a new "rapid-response" unit.
But the Chancellor, Kenneth Clarke, said: "There is no case for a new fund" within the IMF. Instead, he suggested, the IMF should consider how it could pay closer attention to developments in economies like Mexico.
The ministers also warned Russia to maintain its market reforms. Fears were expressed by several delegations that instability in Moscow and the ripple effects from the war in Chechnya could distract authorities from their economic reform efforts and directly undermine the economy. "We have to send a clear sign to Russia to intensify its reform efforts", the German Finance Minister, Theo Waigel commented.
Implying a common protest over the Chechnya war, Mr Waigel added the G7 countries had all agreed before Toronto not to invite Russia to attend. Until this weekend, Russian attendance at G7 ministerial meetings had become almost routine.

Mountain Khakis Teton Twill Pant
Your Search For The Perfect Pair Of Khakis Ends Here
Mountain Khakis Teton Twill Pant
Your Search For The Perfect Pair Of Khakis Ends Here
Khaki pants. Just about every guy owns a pair. Practically every company makes a pair. So why these? It's simple: Mountain Khakis took a hard look at what everyone else isn't doing well, went back to the drawing board, and set out to just make theirs better. It's paid off. Teton Twills have become the choice of office dwellers, sportsmen, and hardcore outdoor enthusiasts alike—the world over. It starts with the fabric: a sturdy 8.5-oz. pure cotton twill that's not so heavy it'll stand up on its own; not so light that it'll flap in the breeze. Nothing was overlooked in the construction. The seams are triple stitched and bar tacked. (They'll be no worries about compromising situations or split-open bottoms.) There's a diamond-shaped action gusset sewn right in. What's that? To put it simply, it's there so you can move the way you want to move and the pants will be coming along for the ride. The overall fit is relaxed so you're always comfortable, the pocket openings are shaped so you can easily get your hands, and pocketknife, in and out, and the heel cuffs are reinforced with mud flaps for added strength and fray prevention. (Hey, mud flaps work on trucks, don't they? Well, they work even better on pants.) And finally, an antiqued metal button holds them securely closed so you won't inadvertently reveal the grosgrain waistband, unless you want to. Looking to get into a new pair of khakis? Look no further.

Agency, strategic entrepreneurship and the performance of private equity backed buyouts
Agency theory has focused on buyouts as a governance and control device to increase profitability, organizational efficiency and limited attention to growth. A strategic entrepreneurship view of buyouts incorporates upside incentives for value creation associated with growth as well as efficiency gains. In this paper, we develop the complementarity between agency theory and strategic entrepreneurship perspectives to examine the performance implications for different types of buyouts. Further, we study how the involvement of private equity firms is related to the performance of the post-buyout firm. These issues are examined for a sample of 238 private equity backed buyouts in the UK between 1993 and 2003. Implications for theory and practice are suggested.

Stuart Whitman Net Worth: Stuart Whitman is an American actor who has a net worth of $5 million. Making a name for himself as an actor in the western genre, he is arguably most famous for portraying Jim Crown in the 1967 TV series, "Cimarron Strip". He also acted in several other famous series such as the "Aerial Epic" and the "Bang-Bang". In "Aerial Epic" he played the role of a romantic aviator, a role that made a new trend in the United States in the mid-1960s. Whitman, who was at the beginning of his career at the time, became famous overnight. In 1961, he came to be nominated for an Oscar for "The Mark". Once the contract with the "Cimarron Strip" series ended, Stuart entered the circuit of cameos. He acted in "Gallery of Terror", "San Francisco Urgent", "The New Centurions", "Cannon", "SWAT", "Fantasy Island", "High", "Sketch", "Sure Shot", "Double Charge", "Murder" and "Walker", "Texas Ranger". Between 1988 and 1992, he played the role of the father of Clark Kent in the series "Superboy". His most recent work dates from 2000, with the Telefilm "The Man in the Chair" being the most rewarding one. He has been married two times. His first wife was Patricia LaLonde, whom he left in 1966. He married Caroline Boubis in 1966 and got a divorce in 1974. He has four children and his son Tony worked with him in several projects, including "Felicity" and "Medium". He also collaborated with the 20th Fox Century as they hired him for various projects like "When World Collide", "All American", "Ten North Frederick" and many more.

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
This large 2-story home is on a beautiful and tranquil tidal creek located in a quiet and serene neighborhood near Darien on the Georgia coast. It is convenient to I-95, Savannah, Brunswick, St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Jekyll Island, and Jacksonville, FL and is surrounded by majestic oaks draped with Spanish moss. The house has large windows and doors allowing beautiful views of the river and marshes. There is a screened porch and large deck overlooking the river from the main level and a large deck and lanai overlooking the river downstairs.
The Kitchen has Jenn-Air and Bosch appliances and overlooks the dining area and a large family room with fireplace. The Master Suite, which is almost as large as the kitchen, dining, and family area, has a king Select Comfort (sleep number) bed, sitting area, fireplace, mini-office, and spacious bathroom with large soaking tub and private shower and toilet. The other bedrooms are large with private vanities and beautiful views of the outdoors. Open the casement windows to enjoy the coastal breezes or take advantage of ceiling fans in every room.
There are 2 single person kayaks, 1 double kayak, and a canoe that can be enjoyed during your stay. There are also paddles for the canoe and kayaks, life jackets, and adult and kids bicycles in the 2-car garage. The biking is relaxed and beautiful while winding through the live oaks and wildlife that cover the peninsula. There is also great bird-watching with a nature trail that allows you access to rare and exotic wildlife.
There is a marina with a lift and boat ramp only minutes away where you can put your boat in the water and purchase bait. Bring your boat, tie it to the dock, and enjoy it for fishing, water skiing, tubing, and access to the nearby islands. But please note, no personal water craft (PWCs) are allowed and idle speed (no wake) is required near docks and boats.
If your goal is to find quiet and spacious relaxation, you'll find that here. And if you're looking for activities that connect you with the outdoors and renew your spirit, it's here and within your reach. Either way, the tranquility and variety of Coastal Georgia is only a click and a phone call away.

We love the relaxing atmosphere of our home and the appeal of the Darien area. We also enjoy bringing the kids down with their friends to fish, swim, ride bikes, and canoe.
Our favorite places to go and eat are B&J's in Darien, which have the best fried shrimp around, and Willie's Weenie Wagon in Brunswick for their fish sandwich, fries, and sweet tea.
Cindy Irwin/Owner/Agent-Licensed Realtor in state of Georgia for Solid Source Realty.
Cindy Irwin purchased this house in 2007
Jeff is from this area and in 1989 we were married in the old Presbyterian Church in Darien. This was my Mother's home and is where we had our wedding reception. We wanted to keep the home in our family to be able to enjoy the beauty and fun of this community and area. We also wanted our children to experience this special part of Georgia.
There is a deep hole right below the dock where the fishing is often tremendous! In fact, it's common for folks to travel some distance by boat to fish here. In addition, porpoise feed here on most low tides and manatees are sometimes seen during the summer.
We spent 22 days on this wonderful property. The fishing was great and we brought home lots of Red Drum. Loved the peace and quite of the neighborhood and the neighbors were very nice. It is a dog friendly community. Cindy was so nice to deal with and if there was a problem she took care of it right away. The chair lift was a life saver and we loved the porch. We will rent again!
Our family has stayed in many great VRBO properties but this was our best and favorite experience. The attention to detail and provisions of all kinds made us feel welcome and comfortable. In addition to bikes, kayaks and other amenities, the owners provided excellent information about local restaurants and interesting places to visit in the area. The screened in porch afforded beautiful views of the marsh - we watched a fascinating roseate spoonbill fly over one morning. We came home with delicious sea trout caught right off the dock. This a special coastal retreat and we definitely plan to return!
Once again my family stayed at this lovely home! And once again we had a fabulous time!! I can't say enough great things about the owners (how they go out of their way to make sure you enjoy yourself), to the location (great for visiting other coastal GA locations), to home itself (beautiful scenery and great fishing spots). We plan to return!!
This is a fabulous house that is nicely decorated and well furnished.... could not ask for more! We enjoyed our day on the marsh in the kayaks, and loved sitting on the screen porch watching it rain! Perfect place for that quiet get-a-way that we all need! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place!
Cindy definitely goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome! Beautifully decorated with extra's to make you feel comfortable and special. We loved all the sports available. Nice neighbors and nice walking areas. Family loved this rental the best. Perfect for quiet,relaxing vacation. Town has very nice people too!
This was our second visit and even better this time since we had an entire week to kick back and relax. My husband and I vacation by renting through VRBO, no hotels or B&Bs, and we find that not all VRBOs are this nicely appointed. The house is immaculately clean and comfortable. In the kitchen you'll enjoy full sets of unbroken and unchipped dishes, glasses, wineglasses, pots, pans and bakeware. The sheets and towels are soft. She has tons of "goodies" in the jar in case you've forgotten shampoo, soap or conditioner. The house is near to the end of a long, narrow island so it's incredibly quiet and peaceful. No through traffic or boat noise because it's "no wake" and the fishermen are respectful. We don't fish but we were entertained at high tide by the folks who anchored at the fishing hole on the river; they were catching redfish. There are walking paths under the ancient Oaks and a Nature Trail to enjoy. The neighbor's Black Lab did not wake us nor bother us or our 10-pound dog. Perhaps it was just "one-of-those things" for the previous reviewer...? This home is so delightful and the neighborhood so lovely that we'll make this an annual destination.
Fishing and Crabbing from dock. Wildlife viewing includes Dolphin and Manatee in the river. Bikes and Helmets, Canoe and Kayaks (2 singles and 1 tandem) with Paddles and Life Jackets are on site. Great Restaurants and Outlet Mall nearby.

Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have major questions that need to be addressed
The way people perceive football clubs and their fortunes is primarily down to results. Win games and everything in the garden is rosy; lose them and it's easy to see problems in any direction you look.
At the moment Arsenal are in a situation where the garden looks far from rosy, and if there was a single word to describe what's going on, you might plump for "uncertainty."
There's the issue of Arsene Wenger and his future. His contract expires in June. The club have offered a two-year extension,...

proclaiming Jesus Christ at university
We are a fellowship which stands for Jesus.
The aims of our fellowship can be summarised in this short statement…
Evangelical Students (ES) is a community of Christian students who seek to GROW in God's Word and be TRAINed together to REACH the campus and the world for Christ.
In practice, it is our prayer that students in ES would increasingly grow…
* to know God better through disciplined Bible reading
* to be dependent upon God in faithful prayer
* in our love for Christ, and reflect His love for others
* a mature and assured faith, exhibiting fruit of the Spirit
* in gospel unity as the body of Christ on campus
* to seek the kingdom of God above all
We grow in our love and knowledge of God together as we study God's Word, in small groups, Bible Talks and on camps.
…being trained to…
* personally understand and interpret the Bible
* live faithful and prayerful lives, persevering to the end
* share the gospel, and lead others to know Christ
* joyfully and sacrificially serve others in the cause of Christ
We want to train disciples of Christ in the skills and character to serve him wherever we are – at uni, and for the rest of our lives.
…in order to reach others by…
* boldly and creatively proclaiming Jesus as Lord, in the context of public events and personal relationships
* supporting other gospel ministries here and abroad
* raising up future gospel workers from within our fellowship
We invite you to join us in this mission on campus, and to grow in confidence as you share your faith.
Evangelical Students (formerly known as Evangelical Union) is an affiliate member of the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (AFES) which has around 60 affiliate groups on 50 university campuses across Australia. The AFES was a founding member of the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) which now has a presence in over 150 countries.
We are blessed to have both students and staff serving us at Evangelical Students. Our Student Executive serves us by helping to organise the club within the University, make decisions and organise events. Our staff help us by serving in discipleship, training, decision making and bible teaching. Together, they serve to help ES to GROW and TRAIN students in their faith, so that they can REACH the campus and the world for Christ.

In this opinion, the Court of Chancery denied in substantial part motions to dismiss claims arising out of a since-abandoned restructuring transaction between Morgans Hotel Group Co. and its largest investor, Yucaipa Companies, LLC. Drawing the facts solely from the allegations of the complaint and giving the plaintiff the benefit of all reasonable inferences, the Court held that plaintiff OTK Associates, LLC, which had recently prevailed in a proxy contest electing its own slate of directors to the Morgans board, had stated viable claims for declaratory relief and damages.
Morgans Hotel Group Co. ("Morgans" or the "Company") is a Delaware corporation that owns and operates boutique hotels, including the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach and The Light Group, which develops and operates venues in Las Vegas. The complaint alleged, and the Court accepted as true for purposes of the pending motions, that affiliates of Yucaipa Companies, LLC exercised "effective control" over Morgans through ownership of debt and equity, as well as contractual rights and board representation. Yucaipa is controlled by Ronald Burkle.
In late 2011, Morgans began considering a restructuring of Yucaipa's investment and formed a special committee to consider a potential transaction. By February 2012, negotiations had reached an impasse, and Morgans began to consider alternative transactions, including a rights offering not involving Yucaipa and the sale of the Delano Hotel. After learning of this development in June 2012, allegedly from a member of the special committee, Yucaipa objected, threatened litigation, and proposed a transaction in which Yucaipa would acquire the Delano Hotel, The Light Group, and the Delano brand in exchange for Yucaipa's holdings in Morgans. In August 2012, Yucaipa amended its proposal by offering to backstop a $100 million rights offering at a 26% premium to the Company's then-current stock price. The complaint alleged that Yucaipa's financial advisor believed that few stockholders would be likely to participate in a premium-priced rights offering, and that Yucaipa would emerge with 35% of the Company's common stock. In September 2012, the special committee recommended that Morgans move forward with the Yucaipa proposal.
In February 2013, Morgans announced that it would hold its annual meeting on May 15 and that the record date for the meeting would be March 22. On March 15, OTK Associates, LLC ("OTK"), which owned 13.9% of the Company's common stock, announced that it intended to nominate a competing slate of directors. On March 19, Jason Kalisman, a member of the special committee and OTK's designee on the Morgans board of directors, told the other special committee members that he did not believe the directors could support the Yucaipa transaction in compliance with their fiduciary duties, and asked to be informed immediately whether formal approval of the transaction was imminent. The complaint alleged that, during the ensuing weeks, Yucaipa and Morgans prepared to sign the final transaction documents and that Kalisman was not advised of these developments, despite his requests.
On Friday, March 29, the board and special committee received notice of, and materials for, meetings of the special committee and the board of directors scheduled for the following day (the Saturday before Easter Sunday) to consider approval of the Yucaipa transaction. Kalisman attended the special committee and board meetings the following day, but objected to both on the ground that he was not provided sufficient notice or time to review the written materials relating to the proposed transaction.
At the March 30 special committee meeting, the special committee voted to form a subcommittee consisting of all the special committee members other than Kalisman. The subcommittee met immediately thereafter and voted unanimously to recommend the Yucaipa transaction, which was thereafter approved by the board. The board also voted to postpone the annual meeting from May 15 to July 10 and reset the record date from March 22 to May 29, which would allow stockholders who acquired stock in the $100 million Yucaipa-backed rights offering to vote those shares at the annual meeting. The board also voted to exempt Yucaipa from Section 203 of the DGCL and to approve an amendment to the Company's stockholder rights plan that would permit Yucaipa to acquire up to 32% of the Company's common stock. Other stockholders, including OTK, remained subject to Section 203 and to the rights plan's 15% ownership threshold. Because OTK already owned 13.9% of the Company's stock, it would not be able to fully participate in the rights offering.
On April 1, 2013, Kalisman, in his capacity as a director, filed a derivative complaint in the Court of Chancery seeking a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. The Court granted OTK's motion to intervene on April 4. On April 9, Morgans announced that it had voluntarily rescheduled the rights offering to close after the record date for the annual meeting, mooting Kalisman's TRO application. On May 14, the Court entered a preliminary injunction enjoining Morgans from implementing any of the board resolutions passed on March 30, which prohibited consummation of the Yucaipa transaction until the full committee and board considered the matter at properly noticed meetings and also had the effect of restoring the annual meeting date to May 15 with a record date of March 22. The May 15 meeting was convened and adjourned to June 14.
On May 16, Yucaipa informed the Morgans board that, in light of the Court's May 14 decision, there was not yet an agreed-upon transaction and that Yucaipa was imposing a new condition to the deal: that the Company offer to allow OTK the option to join Yucaipa in backing the rights offering, but limit OTK to 32% of the Company's common stock. Thereafter, neither the special committee nor the board met to consider and approve the Yucaipa transaction, and at the June 14 annual meeting, the Company's stockholders elected OTK's full slate of directors.
On June 27, Yucaipa filed suit in New York against Morgans seeking monetary damages, including a $9 million break-up fee, for breach of the Yucaipa transaction agreements. On July 9, OTK filed an amended complaint in the Court of Chancery asserting nine counts. Counts I – VIII sought declarations that the Yucaipa transaction was the product of breaches of fiduciary duty and violated the Company's bylaws and the special committee charter. Count IX sought a declaration that the Yucaipa transaction agreements are invalid and unenforceable.
The defendants moved to dismiss Counts I – VIII as moot on the grounds that the Yucaipa transaction had been abandoned. The Court denied this motion, finding that Counts I - VIII were not moot because the defendants could potentially be liable for damages, including fees and expenses incurred by Morgans in connection with the since-abandoned Yucaipa transaction.
The Yucaipa-affiliated defendants also moved to dismiss Count IX, which asserted a derivative claim on behalf of Morgans, on the grounds that the plaintiff was required but failed to make pre-suit demand on the Morgans board. The plaintiff argued that demand on the board would have been futile and was therefore excused. The question of demand excusal turned on the identity of the operative Morgans board for purposes of evaluating whether demand would have been futile. The Court held that if the claims in Count IX were sufficiently related to the facts alleged in the original Kalisman complaint, then the operative board would be the board in place at the time the original Kalisman complaint was filed, and demand would be excused as futile. If, however, the claims in Count IX were based on new facts not raised in the first complaint, then the operative board would be the newly-elected board in place at the time OTK filed the amended complaint, and demand would not be excused. The Court found that one of the two grounds for relief in Count IX—that the transaction agreements were unenforceable as a result of fiduciary duty breaches—was sufficiently related to the facts of the original complaint. The other ground—that Yucaipa had repudiated the transaction agreements following the Court's May 14 preliminary injunction—was based on facts that occurred after the first complaint was filed. Because the amended complaint failed to raise a reasonable doubt that the newly-elected board could have properly exercised independent and disinterested business judgment in responding to a demand, the Court granted the motion to dismiss Count IX as to the latter ground only.
The Yucaipa defendants also moved to dismiss or stay Count IX in light of a provision in one of the transaction agreements between Yucaipa and Morgans selecting courts in New York as the exclusive forum for disputes arising out of or relating to that agreement. The Court denied the motion to dismiss or stay on this ground, finding that the fiduciary duty-based challenge to the Yucaipa transaction was governed by Delaware law and did not arise out of or relate to the agreement that contained the choice of forum provision. The Court also declined to stay Count IX in favor of the action Yucaipa had filed in New York, finding that (i) the Delaware action was first-filed because it relates back to the original Kalisman complaint and (ii) litigation in Delaware would not impose an "overwhelming hardship" on defendants, as would be required to upset plaintiff's choice of forum where a Delaware action is first-filed.
Finally, the Court declined to dismiss the claims against two of the individual defendants on the grounds that they would be exculpated from monetary damages arising out of any breach of fiduciary duty they may have committed by reason of a Section 102(b)(7) exculpatory provision in the Company's certificate of incorporation. The Court found that the complaint adequately challenged the disinterestedness and independence of a majority of the board and special committee and rebutted the presumptions of the business judgment rule, making entire fairness the operative standard of review. With respect to Michael Malone, who was a member of the special committee, the Court noted that the complaint included allegations that Malone misled Kalisman regarding the status of the Yucaipa transaction, and found that the complaint supported a pleadings-stage inference that he was acting for a reason other than the best interest of Morgans and its stockholders. The Court likewise found that the allegations of the complaint supported a pleadings-stage inference that Jeffrey Gault, a board member who was alleged to have substantial ties to Ronald Burkle and Yucaipa, breached his duty of loyalty. The Court therefore concluded that it was possible that both Malone and Gault could be found after trial to have committed breaches of fiduciary duty for which exculpation under the Company's Section 102(b)(7) provision was not available.

Skip to comments.Powell on Meet Press
Posted on 10/19/2008 6:15:39 AM PDT by GoMonster
click here to read article
According to a lot of people around here yesterday, Powell's opinion DID matter. Link
What a difference a day makes.
Powell was always a man of the media, and he always will be. He is in the DC cocktail party hall of fame.
As I predicted yesterday, they will build this up and drag it on for longer than they did the "Tim Russert Media Extravaganza".
Honestly, although the media will have vapors about this, the average person will say, "Well, he's black, so that's why he's supporting Obama."
Maybe George Bush should endorse 0bama too.
0bama would best carry on Bush's Big Government legacy.
The media will play it up but it will just make foreign policy be back in the news where McCain lays out Obama.
At least this election has opened my eyes to a lot of phonies in our party - I think we can see why the GOP has been on it's death bed for the last 20 years - these people have been in charge! It's time to either do the merciful thing & put an end to the republican party - or start a whole new party from scratch. A party of true conservatives, the American party.
Powell just proved once again what a disloyal, dishonest, and opportunist he really is.
Nice to see him finally showing the rest of the world what his true colors are.
Still, Powell is a true American success story and probably a decent man.
About the only thing to say about Powell now is not to trash him, but to point out that it appears that racial solidarity is more important to him than policy. Other than that, honor his service, however effective or ineffective it may have been.
This has been the most racially polarizing election in our lifetimes, and it's all because that's how the Democrats and Obambi want it.
I didn't think that he was on "Meet The Press" to to have tea with Tom Brokaw.
Media will explode the story.
But Powell was moving leftwards for a long time and no surprise here.
I can't believe it.
Powell plays right into the communists hands. I suppose my taxes should go up so that Powells grandkids get more handouts.
"Yes its based on race. Whats next..Condi..?"
If she weren't part of the current Republican administration, I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut she'd be endorsing The Black One.
Since it's all about race, I think we should not refer to him as The One, and use his full title, The Black One.
This announcement was coming.
Now we all have no doubts where he really stood.
What an embarrassment he is.
Good riddance.
Gee, and just yesterday Obambi said there'd "be a place for Powell in [his] Administration"..
But, nah. This COULDN'T POSSIBLY have anything to do with Powell wanting to be a BMOC in an Obambi Administration, COULD IT?
Did he happen to say WHY he's supporting Obama? (not that we don't know...I'm just wondering what he said for public consumption).
"Hes trolling for a job...Milicrat...."
Exactly. Wonder what position he was promised.
Perhaps. Personally, once the leader of the nation is black, it isn't clear to me why there is any need for affirmative action, preferences, and set-asides. If O wins, he becomes "The Man" in the sense it was used in the 60s. There is no longer a limit to what a black person can accomplish other than his own initiative.
Of course, it won't play that way. Too many votes too easily bought.
Watching this you could see that he was just going after every Republican . He didn't even make a good case for Obama. He also blamed McCain for things that McCain had nothing to do with. It won't hurt McCain.
I thought Powell would stay neutral. I agree with another poster - he's trying to burnish his still declining legacy. But I didn't think he would be quite this
un-american/condoning socialist. A true friend of the ragheads.
...all about skin color with these people?
Sad to say, but I think you are right.
So who's the bigot?
God help America.
I knew he would do this. I predicted it on a thread here yesterday.
Have you all forgotten that Powell is treacherous? He knowingly allowed Scooter Libby stand trial on the Plame matter when he knew all along that it was his aide Armitage who initiated the so called leak.
A snake is a snake is a snake.
Exactly. He's a pissed off, old, x-Bush cabinet member.
Well, so much for any hope I and others had that General Powell would be consistant with his earlier support of McCain and do the right thing.
The important aspect of this isn't that Powell has endorsed a fellow Black. It's that he's now hitched his wagon, and his credibility, to Barack Obama. If Obama is elected and bad things happen because Obama ISN'T ready, ISN'T experienced, doesn't have the competence to effectively be President, etc ... Powell's stature and credibility will be diminished.
He cares not for his country just his race.
Let's start a drive to ban the use of "African-American" except in the case of dual citizenship.
If he was a good black man Id vote for him too. Unfortunately he's a Communist.
I think most whites will see it for what it is: Identity politics. Race trumping values.
Personally, I think this is a nothingburger for Obama. And maybe a shoring up of the (white) base for McCain. As two can play this game.
Another RINO....Maybe he wants a cabinet seat
Maybe the talk of a McCain endorsement was planted to mislead people.
Just like the Dems who are not responsible for their vote on the Iraq war, he is no longer responsible because he was lied to by the Bush Admin, too. Its just not his fault.
He thinks that this now totally redeems himself in everyone's eyes.
"....but it would seem race has played a crucial role in this."....
Yes. It seems that, to a large, LARGE portion of American blacks, that IS all that matters. While it, unfortunately, doesn't surprise me, it greatly disappoints me. Even some of the few blacks who thought of themselves as 'conservative' are finding that the color of the candidate's skin is more important than the content of their policy and character.
I'm not surprised that Powell has endorsed Barry. I've felt for a LONG time that his reputation was greatly overrated.
Powell, an affirmative action benefactor, is a wus. Remember Gulf War One, when we were kicking Iraq @$$, Powell got cold feet and counciled Bush 1 to stop the operation. We could have won quick and easy at the time, but we let Hussein off the hook. Powell is supporting Obama for one reason...blackness. This is akin to a Black South African takeover and Obama is planting the seeds for revoultion.
Brace yourself, you're going to be called a troll.???
Any negativity about President Bush is frowned upon at FR.
Brokaw is pointing out Powell's contradictions and inconsistencies with Obama's platform. Obama was vehemently opposed to the premise of the war, while Powell was one of the biggest cheerleaders. Powell is a hollow man who got to the top in a Bush 41 Administration as a yes man. He even tried to deflect charges of racism by saying it took this long to decide - which is a joke. He's been advising the Obama campaign all along - he made his choice based on race from the git-go.
THAT black one!
"He is in the DC cocktail party hall of fame."
Great line!
Agreed. This is TWICE! Powell was instrumental stopping the beatdown of Sadaam's forces in '91, causing us to have to go back. He was a big part of making the case for the need to go back, and now wants us to retreat again. He just cannot seem to get enough of seeing the U.S. military take casualties only to retreat.
A traitor indeed.
suppose McCain's campaign was birthed in the living room of Timothy McVeigh?
America wouldn't care?
Powell - is a - fool.
In Nazi Germany - Hitler had many such fools on "his side".
So I guess now, If pelosi and bambi try to prosecute Bush for the Iraq war, they'll have to prosecute Powell too, after all, he;s the one they say lied his face off at the UN, it seems they have a problem here.
McCain should be saying right now, well Obama thinks the Iraq war was a mistake and is now taking advice from the man who led the charge at the UN and did most of the legwork, now thats a problem for Obama.
The Affirmative Action General just endorsed the Affirmative Action Candidate....
Colin's "All Hail Big Brother" moment. He will be a witness for the prosecution in the upcoming "World Socialists v. Bush, Cheney, and Rove" show trial...
Was'nt Powell one of these street interviews Howard Stern did with people in Harlem?
Ever wonder why the MSM NEVER refers to Obama as half-white only African-American?
This election IS about race now. They have made it so. It's okay to be a black racist so it must now be okay to be a white racist. Good. Let's all vote for McCain because he's white.
Stormin Nomran should come out for McCain. He did a lot of campaigning for GW.
Overall, I think Americans are more fond of him and Tommy Franks.
With different time frames, 20, 30...50 years, I've heard this same lament here at FR since we first became aware of rev. Wright. The naivete of people as to what the state of race relations were really like before Obama is astounding. Folks who thought, or think, that Wright et al are an anomaly had (have) their heads where the sun don't shine!
I was just thinking yesterday about that. I wouldn't be surprised if Bush did endorse him - or at least tell us he would make a good president. But wouldn't that just make a liberal's head EXPLODE? I would love to see them trying to justify that in their heads! LOL!
So Powell finally makes a mistake.

An Installation by Amos Gitaï
Amos Gitaï began his career thirty years ago and is recognized today as one of the great film directors of our time.
He was a student in Architecture, following in the footsteps of his father (an architect of the Bauhaus), when the Kippur war broke out, suddenly interrupting his studies. He began filming with a small super 8 camera, during his expeditions in helicopter, and has since then never stopped working with film.
Gitaï's films explore the history of the Middle East, and his biography, through recurrent themes of identity, exile, utopia, memory and history. He engages us in a reflection on the past and present, on the necessity of transmission and on the role of art.
Continuing in this line of thought Gitaï proposes a vast installation set in the basement of the Palais de Tokyo, titled: Traces. A visual and audio walk of exceptional density, featuring scenes from several of his films, including the latest film he is currently working on: A lullaby to my father.
Traces is conceived as an emotional and intimate experience within a collective history, and was previously shown at Evento in Bordeaux. "I am happy to exhibit at the Palais de Tokyo, as it represents an authoritarian architecture, and during the German occupation it was here that the Nazi's stored the works of art and treasures spoliated from the Jews".
"At the last minute I decided to also screen parts of Lullaby to my father, dedicated to my father -born 100 years ago in Silesia, and who during the 1920's was admitted to the Bauhaus. When the Nazis came to power, the first school they closed down was the Bauhaus. To set an example they put my father on trial in Frankfurt accusing him of treason towards the German People because he had distributed pamphlets. He was beaten and tortured, but he was luckily banished from Germany, or I wouldn't be here to tell the story… Xenophobia continues to exist, and lies in dormant cells, no country is immune to it. My father's character cannot be interpreted by any actor, as he died 40 years ago, and I can hardly remember the colour of his voice. An empty chair represents his presence in the film.
Lullaby to my father is important to me, as I have recently published my mother's correspondence (Gallimard), - a book soon to be come out in Italy with Bompiani".
"When I was 17, I met a French historian who defended field Marshal Petain, affirming his decision to collaborate with the Nazis was an intelligent and efficient choice, as it was impossible to directly oppose the Germans without risking the destruction of France. His opinion shocked me, yet opened my eyes. The tragic destiny of the Jews obviously didn't matter to him. Through the years France has changed its attitude concerning its past crimes inflicted from the Vichy regime.
I see Traces as a sort of collective psychoanalysis. Films are my universe and through them I can captivate people's attention. I agree with author Aharon Appelfeld – who wrote: "with the disappearance of the last direct witness's of the Holocaust, memory can only be transmitted through art, writing cinema, painting…" says Amos Gitaï.

This may generate some arguments, but I'm going to say that any yield above 6% is too risky for retirement income. The market is full of people and information that keep it very efficient in pricing future income streams. The capital needed to purchase safe income drives the yield down by driving up the price. Furthermore, if the income is growing, you'll need even more capital. I'll offer some examples:
- Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO): Yield = 2.7%
- Abbott (NYSE:ABT): Yield = 3.3%
- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ): Yield = 3.9%*
*In the case of JNJ, I'm watching the yield and it's getting to the high end of safe. The news from JNJ has not been that great the last few years. I'm still bullish on JNJ; however, leaning on the words of Ronald Reagan:"Trust but verify."
An investment with a yield of 10% has a very good chance of some volatility. The price could go up as the yield becomes safe, or the yield reduced by a cut in payout. In most cases, a high yield is the result of an increase in risk. Let's be careful in our discussion because price and yield are very related. I know this is elementary, but the price is moving much faster than the payout. With that in mind, let's look at price-driven yields forecasting payout reductions.
Let's consider Knightsbridge Tankers (VLCCF).
Source: Ycharts.com.
Knightsbridge brought back its dividend payments after the 2008/2009 turmoil, with a payment of $0.25 per share in Q1 2009. That dividend was raised over three quarters to settle in at $0.50/share (per quarter) in September 2010.
In the middle of 2011, the fundamentals shifted to put the dividend at risk. It was a combination of the day rates for shipping crude oil, a tight market, and the loss of some long-term contracts. Knightsbridge is a solid shipping company and it is trying to remain profitable. When trading at $25 per share, this company had been paying out an 8% dividend. That is well above what I consider safe. The price began to drop as the market became more convinced that Knightsbridge was not going to be able to maintain the payout level. Once Knightsbridge reached a $15 share price, that put the $2 annual dividend at a yield over 13%. That's very risky. The dividend was cut this quarter to $0.35 per share.
Frontier Communications (NYSE:FTR) is another good example:
Source: Ycharts.com.
The quarterly dividend payment was lowered from $0.25 per quarter to $0.1875 in Q3 2010. The stock rallied almost $2.00 per share on the hope for sustainability of the new dividend. Six months later, Frontier cut the dividend again down to a quarterly payment of $0.10 per share. The yield was forecasting the risk in both cases. Investors looking at the high yield and using it to justify a purchase have seen substantial losses.
In mid-2007, Frontier's yield was 6.3%. By the time the first cut was in place in September 2009, the yield was 13%. While the dividend was held at the new level, the yield dropped to 8.75%. Still, a risky level and the following stock decline drove the yield up to 18.5% before the second dividend cut. I read several articles about using Frontier for a high-yield investment during that time frame, and that turned out to be some poor advice.
A stock can deliver year after year of high yield -- it is possible. But it is the exception for that to happen with stable or rising prices. The market can create conditions where it happens, but it takes work to find those conditions and then to understand them enough to invest. Most often, high yield signals high risk. I deal with retirement income; it has to be stable and dependable. Always do your due diligence and do it twice when you see above 6% annual yield.
