Part V—Immunity of WitnessesEdit
- Chapter 601: Immunity of Witnesses
This statute covers a specific way to satisfy the Fifth Amendment (right to silence as a form of protection against self-incrimination) to the Constitution, but still force witnesses to testify. Basically, if a witness—whether in a federal court such as a United States District Court or in testimony before a Congressional subcommittee—refuses to answer questions and pleads the 5th, the presiding officer can use the provisions of Title 18 Chapter 601 to forcibly compel the witness to answer the questions. Since this would violate the 5th amendment rights of the witness, the statute requires that the presiding officer must mandatorily preserve those rights, by guaranteeing the witness immunity from prosecution for anything they might truthfully say under such compulsion. (The witness is being compelled to answer the questions truthfully—if they lie, they can be tried in court for perjury, but as long as they tell the truth, they are immune from being personally prosecuted for anything they might say—which is the reverse of the usual situation, where anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.)
Actually giving a particular witness guaranteed immunity as a means to compelling their testimony is somewhat involved; the details of how it is done vary depending on the particular branch of government hearing the testimony. If the witness is testifying before an agency (includes Army/Navy/AirForce/VA/DOD/HomeSec/StateDept, FCC/FTC, DOT/NTSB, DOE/NRC/COP/DeptOfTheInterior, SEC/CFTC/FedBoard/FDIC, NLRB/LaborDept/CommerceDept/AgDept, DOJ/Treasury, and many others), the presiding officer for the agency needs approval from the federal Attorney General before they can grant a witness immunity and compel testimony. In court cases, the federal district attorney (for the particular federal district court which has jurisdiction in the case) needs approval from either the federal attorney general directly or from a specific set of the federal attorney general's underlings. In the case of testimony before congress, the body hearing the testimony must vote on whether or not to give immunity as a means to compel testimony, before getting a federal district court to issue to compulsion order; for a subcommittee, two-thirds of the full membership must vote affirmative, whereas for testimony before an entire house of congress a simple majority of members present voting affirmative is acceptable. Although congress must notify the federal attorney general 10 days in advance of submitting their request for compulsion to the federal district court, the AG cannot veto the order (but they can at their option instruct the federal district court to delay issuing the compulsion order for a period up to 20 days total).

Linda Caron 1944 - 2013 MANCHESTER, CT - Today, February 22, 2013, Linda C. (Goodrich) Caron, 68, was called by her loving husband to join him in his loving arms in heaven while surrounded by the care and comfort of her loving family. Linda passed peacefully with support and knowledge that now was the time for her to reunite with her loving husband, David K. Caron, who predeceased her a short time ago after 47 years of marriage. Linda was born December 3, 1944 in Springfield, MA to the late Lyndon and Mildred Goodrich. Linda met the love of her life, David, and married him June 12, 1965. Linda had a variety of jobs ranging from working at Mass Mutual to being a Girl Scout leader. Her hardest and most rewarding job was being a mother and a homemaker. Linda leaves behind her two daughters, Davida Caron of West Springfield, MA and Veronica Stager and her fiancee Nii Genego of Manchester, CT. Linda showed her daughters and everyone else that knew her how to be strong minded, determined, and most of all to be able to laugh when needed. She found strength in her family and amazed all with her determination to fight her Multiple Sclerosis for 30 years. Linda also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren who always enjoyed her corniness and loved the rides she used to give them on her scooter, Chad, Craig, and Elana of West Springfield, MA and Cyril, Timothy, Braylon, Jerimayha, Alex, Somanya, and Abigail of Manchester, CT. She also leaves behind her sisters Irma (Dummy) Lelievre of Chicopee, MA and Beverly and Gary Huffman of Waverly, IL and a brother, Wayne and Theresa Goodrich of Ledyard, CT. She also leaves her in-laws Elizabeth and Joseph Bolduc of Chester, MA and Clifford Caron of Brimfield, MA and many nephews and nieces. She will be dearly missed by her closest friends Carol, Kathy, and Frank. A wake in celebration of her life will be held Monday, February 25th from 6 to 8 PM at the Robert E. Cusack Funeral Home, 94 Main Street, Westfield, MA. The family is requesting that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. Pease and Gay Funeral Service of Northampton has been entrusted with her arrangements.

OK, this is quick and easy to understand. Last Friday, Apple computer sold 3 million iPad3's, That's worth a lot of samoleans, like maybe $1.8 billion dollars... that's big bucks. They also last week announced they'll start buying back some of their stock, and begin to pay quarterly dividends to their stockholders, for the first time in the company's history. These actions will reassure some shareholders, that they're worth the investment. They own a hoard of cash approaching $90 billion stashed away here and there around the world. Their stock has grown more than five-fold since 2009.
But back to all of those iPads... There was a brief time just before the iPad3 hit last Friday, that refurbished units of the earlier model were on sale, for a mere $150 bucks (or less) off. Hmmm... I'd like one, but don't want to pay that much, how about a used one? Well, it turns out Apple is offering something like $260.00 as a trade in toward a new iPad3. Guess what that does? It sets the bottom price in the used market. Who would sell you their old iPad for $200 bucks when Apple will give them $260?
Imagine a company so rich they can control the used market for their "obsolete" products. This makes me uneasy.

Apple Controls the Entire Life Cycle of the iPad?
1 comment:
I don't know if you remember the time when Whitton got all excited about stocks and started investing via Sharebuilder (now ING). It allowed wee little folk like us to invest whatever amount of money we had and buy shares or portions of shares accordingly. I bought a handful of shares of Apple back then, in roughly '02. Imagine my surprise when I logged in ten years later and found that the shares had gone from the $60 I bought in for to something like $350. I invested on a whim and it's certainly had its rewards, but even I'm uncomfortable with the Machiavellian way the company's apparently run.

These pictures are a tad…mature, but they don't make me actively *angry.* It's sort of early Brooke Shields-y. She's a lovely child. What a gorgeous face. She reminds me of Daveigh Chase from Big Love.
I'm far more disturbed about the fucking TIGER PELT in that first shot. I'd say that I hope it's a fake, but this is Vogue, and Anna Wintour doesn't let anything cruelty-free appear on her pages. Cunt.
Anyway, I wouldn't let my underage daughter be in the modeling industry at all, period. No way. Nuh uh.
ReplyCancelShe's a beautiful little girl, and although I don't see these pictures as particularly suggestive, I do think they are rather mature for a 10 year old.
ReplyCancelWould I let my daughter – no. Largely because I wouldn't want my daughter in that industry. However, I don't find these pictures particularly scandalous or suggestive. Overly mature, like Ida said, but I don't think they are even as scandalous as the Calvin Klein Brooke Shields ads.
ReplyCancelShe was all over the news yesterday for some shots of her topless on a bed with a boy, among other shots. People were divided – taken by themselves they look innocent enough, but they also heavily play on the fact that most ads are sexually suggestive.
ReplyCancelNo. Never. I just keep thinking about what the photographer told her to do to get that look in the first pic. To her, what does this look say?
10 years old is 4th grade…. that is way too young to model. The world that she is being exposed to…scary.
ReplyCancelbeing the mother of a 9 year old daughter (who has the looks to be a model), i say no. i agree these really aren't all that suggestive, but there are so many perverts who feed off this kind of stuff. my main job is to protect my children from those kinds of things, and allowing her to pose for something like this would be like throwing her under the bus.
ReplyCancelShe is a beautiful girl and she will have an appropriate time, place and age to stun all men that come her way. Until then she should be the little girl that she is.
Meanwhile why do we have to resort to younger and younger models. Didn't Helen Mirren just get some award for having a great body? Lets celebrate that instead! She rocks ;>
ReplyCancelThe photos aren't suggestive. But as many have pointed out, they're very mature for a child that probably still has baby teeth.
Such a pretty girl–but couldn't her parents wait until she was 16/17 to let her model? Then she would be old enough to have some say as to what's happening with her career.
ReplyCancelThe way mothers allow their children to look and pose on Toddlers and Tiaras enrages me way more than this.
ReplyCancelOh that's right, Jezebel had an article on this, apparently her ads are attracting a lot of controversy.
I don't know if there are other pictures in the set that are more suggestive, but these ones aren't that bad. She's wearing entirely too much makeup for a little girl though. I understand they have to put a bit of powder on everyone, but a full face on a 10-year old is a little overkill…*L*
ReplyCancelThis was in French Vogue many moons ago, Anna Wintour has nothing to do with it. I refuse to read American Vogue because of Wintour.
Anyway, the pictures are definitely not something I would want my child to be known for publicly. I think the concept was children playing dress-up, the execution is too dark. Kids should be kids.
I think that Toddlers and Tiaras is more disturbing and sexualizing in my opinion.
ReplyCancelif i had a daughter, and she was in the industry, these pics would't necessarily upset me. any sort of suggestive/naked shots, absolutely not. she'd be out of the business.
ReplyCancelI think these are way too mature. Let's sex-up the 10 yr old!!
Of course Tom Ford doesn't see a problem, he's a perv.
ReplyCancelI think this little girl is beautiful. I don't particularly agree with the bottom picture with all the lipstick – seems too old. The first picture she looks like a natural beauty.
ReplyCancelI would like every pageant for children banned too. In my country they would never ever even be considered, thanks god! I rather see this once in a while and have them labeled as child abuse.
ReplyCancelI'm with Ida, reminds me of Brooke Shields years ago. It's not that bad, IMO.
ReplyCancelThese two pictures aren't that bad, but I would worry about what other pictures came out of this particular shoot. They do come across as mature, but the feel of these two pictures IMO is more dress-up than grown-up.
That said, if my daughter had the opportunity to do a fashion shoot for French Vogue, and she really wanted to do it, and I was able to supervise and make sure there wasn't anything inappropriate happening on set, I probably would allow it. I just wouldn't want her to make a career out of it at this age.
ReplyCancelEr, no. It doesn't come off as a little girl playing dress up at all. 14/15 or older, yeah. 10 year old? No way.
ReplyCancelUmmm….am I the only one that sees sexuality in the top pic? She's reclining on a tiger skin rug, her back is arched in a way that pushes her rear end up, red fingernails, red dress with shoulder exposed, pouty lips, arched eyebrows, upswept hair. This is not the typical pose of a 10 year old. I could say she was just playing around if it weren't for that look on her face. If she were smiling, maybe….
To me, the top pic is over the line. It could be interpreted in a sexual way and when you are talking about a 10 year old, that's not acceptable.
ReplyCancelAnyone OK with their daughter doing this just wants a meal ticket. The other images were extremely suggestive and creepy. One them, she's topless on the beach with just her hair and some shell necklaces covering her… girl's not even old enough to have anything to cover up!
It's creepy as hell and they've just given some pedophiles some great fapping material. Ick.
ReplyCancelWHY?? Why pose a child in an adult fashion? That child has more make-up on then I wear in a week.(I am not allowed to wear it to work.)
It has a high creep factor. I haven't even seen the other pics but it reminded me of Brooke and Pretty Baby.
ReplyCancelno. children are beautiful as they are. makeup and all that seems…to dirty it (to me). and i don't want my girls thinking that they aren't "pretty enough" and they need makeup, hair fussing, etc.
ReplyCancelI feel really sad that mothers enter children into beauty pageants at the age of two and spray tan them, make them up to resemble mini Delta Burkes and teach them how to dance like they are teenagers at summer camp. I feel even sadder that a parent allowed a photographer to tart up her 10 year old and become the epitome of what is next in fashion magazines, and have other 10 year olds lining up to do the same. Children are only children for a very short time. Let them be kids and save the pageants and the fashion modeling until they are at least 16.
ReplyCancelBrooke Shields was 14 or so when she did "Pretty Baby". This KID is 10. Years. Old. 10 year olds should be climbing trees, not being made up to look like 40 year olds.
ReplyCancelNo way. @Voice o' Reason "Meanwhile why do we have to resort to younger and younger models." Exactly. This is a magazine for adults. Sexualization and exploitation of children makes me sick.
ReplyCancel@rocketqueen. Maybe if Father's attempted to parent their children as well we wouldn't be having this discussion.
ReplyCancelWhat could this possibly be SELLING? That's the motivation for advertising, except when the company is just going for sensationalism for the sake of the free publicity it garners.
I think it's awful. It's exploitative and absolutely sexual. There were more pictures. One has her in a top open to the waist.
ReplyCancelReminds me of a few photo spreads that I recall from around 1977 to maybe 1979? Brooke Shields was in them .. there was another girl named Lisa something .. she was prettier than Brooke, imho. But .. I guess it was kinda salacious then .. and I guess it kinda is now, as well.
I will say it is ironic given the timing of that worldwide child porn bust a few days ago. Perhaps Tom might wanna keep that in mind the next time he has a spiffy idea like this.
ReplyCancelNot any worse than the pageant queens. Maybe better – this is just a shoot and not a life (I hope). I have a ten year old beautiful daughter (not just my opinion) and it is hard keeping her away from these 'things'. Done it so far, but ????? I get more calls…and try to not let her know.
ReplyCancelITA with people who say that T&T is way worse. I have no idea what I would do with my own child, but this doesn't seem half as bad as some of the things that happen on that show. The pictures are beautiful, and I think they are fitting with that theme. I havent seen any of the other pictures though.
ReplyCancelNo I wouldn't. Honestly, this disturbs me and saddens me more than angers me. It's almost like dangling your kid in front of the pedophiles and all the porcine men out there. Let's not sexualize prepubescents. She's a beautiful girl without being slathered in makeup, jewels, having her shirt pulled off the shoulder, posing on a tiger skin like a sacrificial lamb. WTF? I think of what happened to Jon Benet Ramsey when I see this kind of thing.
It's bad enough we objectify and sexualize adolescents in our culture. Women are still struggling with this crap.
ReplyCancelNo. She is a beautiful little girl. But no, never.
How many creeps are having wet little pedophile dreams over this little girl.
Shame on everyone involved for going the pageant make-up routine in a high end glamour magazine. Especially for doing it on a child so young.
ReplyCancelThe pictures are clearly meant for pedophiles. My daughter would be an intelligent feminist and would herself never commit to such an audacity as these disgusting photos suggest. They are clearly intended for the "male gaze" and are giving license to child rape. Boo on French Vogue.
ReplyCancelPretty fucked up how it's okay to sexualize young girls (HELLO child molesters!!). If young boys got pimped out like this, it would be AN OUTRAGE and a PERVERSION!
ReplyCancelWarren Jeffs must be loving this! Nobody said prostitot yet?!?!?!?!
ReplyCancelwhy are people suddenly talking about this? this magazine came out last DECEMBER.
PS this is VOGUE PARIS. anna wintour had nothing to do with it. sheesh….. what people pretend to know for the purpose of forming absolutely useless opinions…..
ReplyCanceler.. nobody mentioned Anna Wintour in relation to this. In fact, the original post as well as comments say that it was the French Vogue and that Tom Ford was the editor.

In the past several years, legal commentators have consistently written about the increasing emphasis on cross-border regulatory enforcement, and the global crackdown on insider trading in particular. However, it is rare to see the extradition of insider traders, so the December 22, 2012 arrest of Australian national Trent Martin in Hong Kong pursuant to a request from the United States should be noted.
The 33-year-old financial analyst allegedly learned of inside information concerning IBM's acquisition of a publicly traded Chicago-based software company, SPSS, Inc., in 2009 from a New Zealand corporate lawyer, identified as "Attorney-1" in the indictment. Attorney-1 and Martin were close friends, sharing many common experiences as single male expatriate professionals in New York City from the same region and of about the same age. They had a longstanding history of sharing confidences, and Attorney-1 revealed the inside information over brunch one day while describing personal and professional stresses related to his work on the transaction. Attorney-1 expected that Martin would not share the information or use it to trade.
Of course this story of friendship quickly turns to one of greed, and Martin goes on to buy SPSS common stock based on the information, and shares the tip with his roommate Thomas Conradt, a stock broker, who also shares the information with a colleague, David Weishaus. Conradt and Weishaus go on to tip two additional colleagues.
The SEC began investigating SPSS trading in fall 2010, and found that the five individuals had altogether profited by more than US$1 million from the inside information. In November 2010, Martin returned to Australia, and in September 2011, relocated to Hong Kong. Conradt and Weishaus were arrested by the FBI in Colorado and Maryland, respectively, on November 29, 2012.
On January 4, 2012, Martin appeared in Hong Kong's Eastern Magistrates Court, where he did not challenge the extradition order and signed the required consent. Martin has been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and one count of securities fraud. The conspiracy charge carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000, or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense. The securities fraud charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of $5 million. Both are quite heavy consequences considering that Martin's trades yielded him less than US$8,000 profit.
Martin's is just the second successful extradition of an individual accused of insider trading in more than 10 years. The last such extradition took place in 2002 of an Israeli citizen, Michael Akva, who jumped bail and fled to Israel in September 2000 to escape prosecution. Akva was indicted by a Manhattan federal grand jury in 2000 of one count of conspiracy to commit insider trading and 12 counts of insider trading, for conduct that profited him around $140,000.
In related news, Albert K. Hu, an American citizen who was extradited from Hong Kong in 2009 (despite a failed attempt to challenge the order) to face allegations that he cheated investors of at least $6.5 million in a hedge fund fraud scheme, was sentenced to 12 years in prison January 14, 2013.
The bottom line is that global regulatory enforcement trends are on the rise – especially with respect to insider trading.

Part of the crop is used to make raisin juice (a minimum of 70 percent natural fruit soluble solids) and raisin paste (made from 100 percent raisins), which are added to a variety of foods, including dairy, confectionery and bakery items. The production and manufacturing of California Raisins for consumption is a fascinating process. Understanding all the aspects of raisins, the products made from them, benefits of their use, and the differences as they are manufactured – all that information resides in the technical brochure. StorageTemperatureCalifornia Raisins may be stored at room temperature without noticeable loss of color or flavor for a few months. Raisins should be stored away from grain products such as wheat flour and corn meal. If the storage room temperature and relative humidity are high, refrigerated storage may be adopted for short periods of time. Relative HumidityThe optimal relative humidity for storage of raisins is in the 45-55% range. Raisins then neither gain nor lose moisture. Controlling the relative humidity is particularly critical if the storage temperature is not optimal. Lower temperatures slow the moisture transfer rate from the air to the raisins. Poly-bags and proper packaging help to protect raisins in high humidity conditions. Purchasing Specifics
California Raisin Storage & Handling Tips
Quality AssuranceThe Finest From CaliforniaIt's August in the San Joaquin Valley. Another bountiful season is coming to a close. Trucks are taking loads of raisins from the farmers' yards to the packing plants – a mark of the season's end. Before raisins are unloaded from their bins, government inspectors take long prods to gather samples from the middle of each box. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) standards must be met to ensure that each box is free of imperfections. Next, raisins are processed, which means they go through a series of conveyor belts and drums to remove remaining stems, chaff or lightweight fruit. The raisins also are sent through a vacuum air stream to catch any other undesirable materials. Finally, they're size-graded and thoroughly washed in pure water. In preparation for packaging, the raisins are moved through a laser sorter. The sorter's light beams, along with a computer, see if anything besides raisins is passing through the stream. If material other than a raisin is present, the computer sends a burst of air to knock it out of the stream of raisins and down a trough. California raisins are inspected under the most rigid standards. Quality control technicians inspect the raisins by hand throughout the packing process, thus assuring that California raisins are the cleanest, highest quality in the world. After final inspections, raisins are automatically weighed and packed in a variety of convenient sizes. California raisins are then shipped around North America and the world for consumers to enjoy.

Thorne Research Niacinamide helps support connective tissue and joints.
The B vitamin niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is one form of vitamin B3. It acts as an antioxidant, inhibiting free radical formation, and has been shown to promote pancreatic beta-cell regeneration. Niacinamide has been found to stimulate GABA (an inhibitory neurotransmitter) receptors without binding to the receptor sites, thus creating a sedative-like effect. High amounts of niacinamide have been documented as being beneficial in protecting joint cartilage cells. Niacinamide has also been used in support of several dermatological conditions.

California earthquake, 6.7 Richter, with Big Bear Lake at the epicenter. It was the first of two in the same general southern California area that together caused close to $100 million in damages.
In Yucaipa, 43 miles down the mountainside, Lois Rodden described the quake; "After the first quake (Landers), my son went back to bed but I went to my desk. Knowing there would be aftershocks, I left the front door open; the weather was mild. There were a few little tremors but nothing much until the second quake struck with a strong, rocking jolt. I got up to go to the front door but halfway across the room, was thrown to my hands and knees. I crawled to the front door and looking out, could see my Buick in the driveway bouncing back and forth from its front to back, and my poor cat tearing across the yard one way and another in abject terror. The aftershocks continued for weeks, thousands of them, some as big as 4. and 5. After a while we would just pause, holding nervous attention for a moment or two to see whether we would have to climb under the table or not. (My cat was not so blasé; she hid in my closet for at least three days.)"

Although part of HP, the Indigo division appears to function very much a state within a state, and to be incredibly active internationally. With just 4000 customers (owning around 6000 presses) HP Indigo is everywhere a market leader in narrow web digital, but still a small cog in the HP machine.
The main purpose of the June 2013 event was to introduce, explain and promote the company's "Next Generation Breakthrough" with its HP Indigo 10000, 20000 and (soon) 30000 series digital presses, aimed at the label and packaging sectors. In terms of total pages printed, labels and packaging together account for 20% of HP Indigo's business, Bar-Shany told his audience. In terms of sales dollars the percentage is certainly a good deal higher. HP Indigo's marketing manager François Martin, also present on the platform, pointed out that although these presses are new and different, they are based on "the sum of our twenty years' experience in digital printing."
The new range uses Esko front end and color matching technology, can be fitted with inline priming and post-coating units, and is equipped with a special unit to prevent curling of the substrate during the printing process. Various finishing lines are compatible, including AB Graphics' Digicon. Use of Indigo's "Enhanced Productivity Mode" (EPM) using just three colors, with no black, saves time, ink and clicks, and is said to give high color saturation on dark areas, while still offering a very broad color gamut. For pre- and post-press technologies HP Indigo benefits, directly and indirectly, from the cluster of other high-tech companies in Israel, including Highcon and AVT. The HP Indigo 10000, launched in March, has already been sold and installed in 30 locations, including eight in China, according to Bar-Shany. A further twenty units are on order.
The HP 20000 now being beta-tested is a roll-to-roll, 30" web press designed to run PS labels, shrink labels and flexible packaging, on substrates from 10 up to 250 microns. It is available with options up to seven colors including opaque white.
The HP30000 uses the same basic print engine as the other two models of the range, which is saving development time. However the 30000 is a sheet-fed press and is able to print on substrates up to 600 microns at speeds up to 4600 sheets per hour. "This is the press that will bring the digital revolution to the folding carton market," says Bar-Shany, who invited his listeners to come see the 20000 and 30000 in action at Labelexpo 2013 in Brussels.
The thinking behind the strategy
In a small group Q&A session, Bar Shany explained why HP Indigo is now keen on penetrating the packaging field. "Around two-thirds of label jobs can be run economically on our digital label presses," he said. "For packaging, the figure is closer to 5%, but of course the packaging market is much larger, and it's expanding, unlike commercial printing. Global cartonboard production is increasing in all the major regions of the world, even in Europe; worldwide the increase 2009-2012 is 28%, which is impressive given the state of most countries' economies over those years. We are confident that with packaging, as already happened with labels, our digital technology will help create new market opportunities. One of our strategic goals is to promote digital printing to the brand owners, so they will realize the potential for short-run packaging for promotions, test-markets and specialty SKUs. With this in mind we plan to bring major brand owners to our booth at Labelexpo to get the message across. This does not mean we will be encouraging brand owners to install digital presses themselves, anyway, few of them want to, but just to be aware of all the varied possibilities, when discussing with their package and label suppliers." Asked about future projects, Bar-Shany said, "Our immediate aim is to make the first 100 buyers of our new press series very happy and successful. We also hope that the users' association Dscoop or something similar to it, will catch on with package printers." Bar–Shany also mentioned further improvements to white ink, and to finishing equipment, as development projects. Indigo does not plan any big investments over the next few years, he said, except for completing its ink production plant in Singapore. He was questioned (by L&NW, not that it matters) on the risk to Indigo of some new digital print technology bursting onto the scene, possibly even emanating from a competing Israeli company. "Of course we are aware of the possibility," replied Bar-Shany, "But any such competing technology will need massive investment, billions of dollars in development, and that's before you start talking about the marketing, sales and technical support structures."
Will it all work out for Indigo? The new press series has considerable synergy with Indigo's sister company and neighbor Scitex which is planning to expand further its inroads into digital inkjet production of corrugated packaging and displays.
On the downside, as Bar-Shany admits, most label converters will probably stay with just that specialty, although a significant minority is already using the ws6600 and other Indigo presses to develop flexible packaging and carton production. Given the level of investment in the new generation of Indigo presses, customers are likely to be major, established label or package printers, rather than mom-and-pop set-ups. Are big package printing groups on the lookout for ways to get into the short-run business that too many brand owners are not looking for, not knowing that it exists? Well, if we suppose that the package print sector is today where the label sector was ten yours ago, the answer could well be yes.
And on this, it looks as if HP Indigo will take yes for an answer.

Activist stirs the county pot
Food carts are only beginning of issues for local developer
What started with some food carts on Southeast 82nd Avenue has become a knockdown, drag-out political divide at the county level.
What started with Richard Langdon regularly criticizing county commissioners at each Thursday's regular meeting has ballooned into dozens of similar three-minute speeches from other citizens in the weeks leading up to the election.
Langdon, a Portland resident, and his partners own a little less than $10 million in real estate in urban unincorporated Clackamas County. He also owns acreage in Happy Valley, but his beef is with the county even there because of its influence on road planning.
About four months ago it became clear to Langdon that the county wasn't going to directly answer his questions about its lack of a countywide food cart code. He felt that it was reasonable for elected officials to address his concerns and those of any citizen with a grievance.
'It was through my experience over the last year with mobile foods carts that I came to the conclusion that the commissioners aren't being held accountable,' Langdon said. 'The problem is that it's escalated way beyond that so that these freedom of speech issues are an outgrowth of the county's dragging its heels on the food cart code.'
The straw broke last week when the county's legal counsel told citizens that Commissioner Ann Lininger's advocacy of an urban renewal measure was scrubbed from public meeting transcripts at the advice of the secretary of state's office. Elected officials may personally advocate election issues at any time, but Oregon statutes prohibit a public employee from advocating a political position during working hours, including, as determined in this case, the rebroadcast of political advocacy materials on the county's public access channel.
'To say that 'we can't put it in because a staff person can't put it in' is stretching the limits of censorship,' Langdon said. 'It would make much more sense for staff member to continue to do what he or she already does rather than spend extra time and money redacting the tapes.'
Disappointed with the county's measure out-fundraising its competition 10 to 1, Langdon recently donated $1,000 to the citizen's initiative for a countywide vote on urban renewal districts.
Langdon declined to predict the election's outcome, but said he was hopeful.

text: GE Gets Into Hybrid Game With Giant Mining TruckBen Wojdyla6/18/08 10:40amFiled to: Alternative FuelsGeGE HybridGE Hybrid Mining truckGeneral ElectricGeneral Electric Hybrid TruckGeneral Electric Mining TruckHybridsMining TruckOpen Pit Mining TruckElectricElectric Cars42EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Even though this news is almost two months old, it's interesting to see GE bringing good things to life, namely giant mining trucks which improve upon the previously standard diesel-electric powertrain — especially in light of Friday's news of Chrysler tying up with Thomas Edison's conglomerate. These Goliaths of the open pits have been using monster generators to power equally massive in-wheel electric motors for years, but GE is now testing a system which puts a battery between the generator and the motors, creating a true hybrid rather than just a monstrously torquey one. The new system integrates a 447 kW-capable, sodium-based battery from the GE locomotive division in place of the dissipative resistor system which previously was used to dump the heat of braking. Instead of wasting all that energy, the battery stores it up and uses it to get the mini-mountain moving again later. The truly brilliant thing about this program? GE is getting government bucks from the US Department of Energy to do it! [GE Research via Edmunds]Reply42 repliesLeave a reply

Steve Lawson - new-age, post-rock, ambient-jazz, solo-bass... thus reads the strapline on his website. It's a little tricky to pin down what he does, given that, as those hyphenated descriptions begin to tell us, he's a solo bassist who spends a lot of his time making very unbasslike noises. He's an ambient experimenter who likes pop tunes too much to go strictly soundscape, but is way too atmospheric to sit comfortably in the 'instrumental rock' category. His electronica leanings produce some amazing hi-tech sounds, but he resolutely avoids programmed beats, making the eventual hybrid of jazz, electronica, ambient, new age and 'new acoustic' influences infuriatingly hard to pigeonhole.
It may be a deeply uncommercial move to be so diffuse, but Steve's entire career has been an ongoing experiment at making the music that means something to him, and then using the internet to make that available to like-minded listeners. 10 albums into his career, there's a definite 'Steve Lawson' sound to just about everything he plays on. Playful yet melancholic, possessed of a naive melodic quality whilst flirting extensively with dissonance and darker timbres to create this soundtrack to the inside of his head.
This 'music first, marketing later' approach has lead to him being greatly in demand as a writer, thinker and consultant on the present and possible future of the music industries, splitting his teaching time between University and College lectures on looping, improvising and bass techniques and further lecture tours on the sustainability of making the music you love. He also occasionally writes biographies about himself in the third person.
With the decade-long success of his own on-going project to keep making the music that matters to him, the future looks just fine - 2010 will feature a number of new releases, a host of house concerts, and a flurry of online activity aimed at inviting more people into the music. Enjoy the ride.

It seems as if the investment industry is hell bent on selling investors pipe dreams of equity-like returns with no downside. In the mutual fund marketplace, buzz words include "alternative," "market-neutral" and other terms hitherto associated only with hedge funds. Investment newsletters and consulting services are touting so-called "protection" using options and other derivatives-based strategies. Yet others rely on techniques involving stop-loss orders to limit the amount one can lose on a trade. And while there is a rationale behind all these strategies, fundamentals tend to get lost in the endless swirl of marketing gimmicks.
The ever-resourceful purveyors of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds have recently launched a plethora of investment products with the promise of, you guessed it, high returns with low volatility. But a closer look under the hood reveals more inherent risk than you might assume at first glance. For instance, long/short funds, among the best known of these new products, use derivatives, short positions and leverage to optimize performance. They may have a place in your portfolio, but they also commonly come with high investment minimums, limited liquidity (relative to ordinary mutual funds) and steep fees that can take a serious bite out of your returns.
Faced with the often-bewildering array of investment products and strategies, perhaps the safest, least costly and expensive way to minimize risk is to apply prudence and good old-fashioned research in fashioning a conservative, value-based approach to the selection of stocks and bonds selling at a discount to their intrinsic worth. In other words, getting back to basics. Note, however, that in these uncertain times conservative does not preclude limited diversification into asset classes with low correlation to stocks and bonds, including precious metals, commodities and emerging markets.
For those with little time or inclination to fuss with research, the solution is to outsource the task to a mutual fund with a proven track record of effective, value-driven investing.
Mutual funds have several advantages for retail investors, but a key one is that it imposes an investment discipline (or at least the fund managers discipline, which is apt to be superior to yours) that deters chasing performance or trying to time the markets.
Studies have repeatedly shown that one of the most common ways investors shortchange themselves is by buying at the top and selling at the bottom. Using mutual funds helps to avoid this pitfall and also helps to take emotion out of the process. Besides that, investing is not about trying to capture short-term gains; it is about strategically building wealth over time. And if you can do it with a minimum of volatility, youll come out ahead.
The solution is to stay in the game but doing so by using mutual funds with an appropriately cautious investment style, whether its an equity fund, asset allocation fund or balanced fund.
This brings to mind a conversation I had with financial reporter regarding two international mutual funds. One was the Third Avenue International Value Fund (TAVIX) and the other was the Artio International Equity Fund (JIEIX). The reporter was disappointed with the relative underperformance of TAVIX over the previous three years and had decided to invest in JIEIX instead. He knew TAVIX was a core holding of ours and wanted to know if we were of the same mindset. In our opinion, TAVIX was a better investment if you took a closer look at fund allocations.
While JIEIX had an overall higher total return during the market upturn of 2004 to 2007, TAVIX was able to achieve a similar (but slightly lower) return while holding approximately 35% cash over that time. We were comfortable knowing that TAVIX was able to produce relatively high internal rates of return on their investments even as the hefty cash position acted like a cushion should the market turn south, which it eventually did. Since then, TAVIX has more than made up for that underperformance, reflecting the severity of the downturn in 2008.
One of the advantages of balanced and asset allocation funds is that they will move from stocks to bonds, or vice versa, in response to shifts in the markets. These realignments in allocations can go a long way in reducing portfolio risk and volatility. It also enhances returns because over 90% of average total returns are attributable to asset allocation, with individual securities selection and market timing accounting for the rest. In investment parlance, this is one way to achieve higher alpha (outperformance) with lower better beta (volatility).
An unscientific example using these mutual funds from our three categories and with equal weightings produces some nice historic results:
Conservative Equity Funds:
Fairholme Fund (FAIRX)
First Eagle Global (SGIIX)
Third Avenue International Value (TAVIX)
Asset Allocation
Ivy Asset Strategy (WASAX)
Leuthhold Core Investment (LCORX)
Blackrock Global Allocation (MALOX)
Balanced Funds
FPA Crescent (FPACX)
Oakmark Equity and Income (OAKBX)
The result? A portfolio with 25% less volatility than the stock market with almost double the return since 2003. A traditional portfolio with 60% stocks and 40% bonds invested in a passively managed fashion would have returned approximately the same as an equity-only portfolio, but with 35% less volatility. All this is essential because, as studies have demonstrated, volatility tends to undermine returns over time and asset allocation is the key to limiting volatility.
This type of portfolio can be adjusted to conform to each investors tolerance for risk in an easy fashion by adding a diversified bond fund to dampen risk, or additional equity funds to potentially increase returns. Either way, a combination of conservative equity funds, asset allocation funds and balanced funds should serve as the core of most portfolios.

Former Gov. Richard "Dick" Thornburgh, 81, is "resting comfortably" at UPMC Presbyterian, according to a statement released today by his family.
Stephanie Stanley, manager of media relations for UPMC, would not confirm reports that Mr. Thornburgh had suffered a mild stroke Saturday at his summer home in Ligonier. She said she was told by Mr. Thornburgh's family to release the following statement:
"Mr. Thornburgh is resting comfortably and receiving excellent care at UPMC Presbyterian. He is awake, alert, and looking forward to a full recovery."
The former Pittsburgh resident has served as governor of Pennsylvania, U.S. attorney general under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and under-secretary general of the United Nations.
He was elected governor in 1978 and was re-elected in 1982. Shortly after taking office, his brief tenure was challenged by the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979. He served from 1988 to 1991 as U.S. attorney general. He was under-secretary-general of the United Nations from 1992 to 1993.
In 2006, Mr. Thornburgh received a "Lifetime Achievement Award" from The American Lawyer magazine for "important contributions to public life while building an outstanding private practice."
Mr. Thornburgh obtained an engineering degree from Yale University and a law degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law where he served as an editor of the Law Review. He is a trustee emeritus of the University of Pittsburgh.
According to his biography, "Where the Evidence Leads," published by the University of Pittsburgh Press in 2003 and 2010, Mr. Thornburgh was born July 16, 1932. He is married to Ginny Judson Thornburgh, a former schoolteacher from New York, who holds degrees from Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released proposed rules designed to create a single, streamlined application process for several government health insurance programs. The application process is being developed in preparation for the Health Exchange Programs that begin on January 1, 2014, under the Affordable Care Act.
The proposed rules summarize changes to existing enrollment, eligibility, notice, and appeal provisions of the Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and similar insurance programs. They also seek to correct various inconsistencies in eligibility and enrollment provisions among the programs.
Published in the Federal Register on January 22, 2013, the regulations are intended to ease the burden on consumers who are eligible for these "insurance affordability programs" and coordinate the appeal process.
The proposed regulations outline the development of:
In a related development, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released for comment a draft form of the individual and SHOP application forms on January 28.
As the federal health care reform effort gained steam, Ballard Spahr attorneys established the Health Care Reform Initiative to monitor and analyze legislative developments. With federal health care reform now a reality, our attorneys are assisting health care entities and employers in understanding the relevant changes and planning for the future. They also have launched the Health Care Reform Dashboard, an online resource center for news and analysis on developments under the Affordable Care Act.

For millennia, fresh olive oil has been a necessity - for food, medicine, beauty, and religion. Today's researchers continue to confirm the remarkable, life-giving properties of true extra-virgin, and 'extra-virgin Italian' has become the highest standard of quality. But what if this symbol of purity has become deeply corrupt? Starting with an explosive article in The New Yorker, Tom Mueller has become the world's expert on olive oil and olive oil fraud - a story of globalization, deception, and crime from ancient times to the present, and a powerful indictment of today's lax protections against fake and even toxic food products in the United States. Extra Virginity is an inspiring account of the people who are defending the extraordinary oils that truly deserve the name 'extra-virgin.'
