I detailed last week the recent letter to shareholders from Francis Chou who one of the best value investors in North America.
In that letter Francis has provided us with a very interest investment idea. In 2006 he laid out for all see the merits of buying extremely cheap credit default swaps. Oh, if only we had paid closer attention and made 100x our investment like Prem Watsa of Fairfax (FFH) and others did. This time I am paying closer attention.
Here is what Francis wrote:
"One of the more interesting ways to invest in the better capitalized banks is through the stock warrants that were issued to the U.S. Treasury by the banks when they received funds under TARP. The stock warrants give the holder the right to buy the bank's stock at a specific price. When the banks repaid TARP funds to the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. Treasury either sold the stock warrants back to the banks or they auctioned them to the public. So, what is so unique about these stock warrants?
1) They are long dated, with most expiring in 2018 or 2019. This time frame of eight- plus years
allows banks to grow their intrinsic value to a high enough level to have an appreciable impact on the strike price of the stock warrant.
2) The strike price is adjusted downward for any quarterly dividend that exceeds a set price.
Normally, you don't see that in a stock warrant. This is a truly stringent condition. In this case we should give the government credit for extracting a pound of flesh. An example: for Bank of America, class 'A' warrants, the strike price is adjusted downward for any quarterly dividend paid
exceeding one cent a share.
3) Many of the banks have excess capital on their balance sheet. When the economy settles down,
we expect the banks to use this excess capital either for buybacks or a one-time special dividend
that may reduce the strike price on the stock warrants if this provision applies.
4) The concerns over financial reform and its ultimate impact on the earning power of the banks
may be somewhat exaggerated. We believe the banks will most likely be able to pass the majority
of the costs to customers. For an economy to flourish we need sound financial institutions that
can generate reasonable profits.
5) Investing in financial institutions requires a leap of faith. Mind you, this leap of faith is no
greater than those we make on any company's future prospects, its position in the industry and
how well it will do in a future economy. Looking forward, as each year goes by, the quality of
earnings of the banks should be higher, the books should be cleaner, the risks will be lower and
management will be far more risk averse. Too bad we had to go through so much turmoil to get there."
Below, August 13, 2010 prices of some banks stock warrants.

6) Even so, everything is not hunky dory for the banks. Banks face many issues and challenges. I have listed a few here:
a) We still do not fully understand or trust the numbers
b) Financial regulatory reform may reduce earning power
c) New Basel rules may require more capital and reduce profits
d) There may be a double dip recession
e) The unemployment rate may go higher and create more defaults
f) Commercial real estate prices may fall dramatically
g) Banks are still not marking loans in their books properly
h) Residential real estate prices may fall further
i) States and municipalities are in bad shape
Our investing horizon is long-term - eight years or more for these bank warrants. Over that period, we believe the odds are it will work out to be decent investment - more so for the better capitalized banks. We view it as the glass being more than half full rather than being more than half empty."
While it is hard to ignore all of the pessimism in the financial news the past few weeks it is even harder to ignore investors like Chou and Berkowitz who are bullish on the sector.

Hi there! Probably an easy question: I've created a reseller-account for a web-designer but he's missing the "Options"-tab when editing a domain. So he is not able to set up custom apache directives or changes in his php.ini-files. How can I activate this? Best regards
Please be aware that this would allow the reseller to take over every website of any other user or reseller on that server and to get access to all databases of all other websites. For that reason, the tab is only shown to the admin user.

An acoustic neuroma is a tumor that grows on the nerve leading from the brainstem to the ear. This nerve plays a role in hearing and in maintaining your balance. An acoustic neuroma grows slowly. It is a benign tumor, which means it is not cancerous. However, this condition can still cause serious problems.
The exact cause of acoustic neuroma is unknown.
Acoustic neuroma is most common between ages 30-60. Factors that may increase your chance of acoustic neuroma include:
The first symptoms of an acoustic neuroma include:
As the neuroma gradually grows larger, symptoms may include:
If headaches or mental confusion occur, the tumor may be life threatening. Call your doctor right away.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. Your ears will be examined. Tests of your nervous system will also be done.
Images may be taken of your head. This can be done with:
Tests may be done on your ears or eyes. These may include:
Treatment depends on your age, general health, the size and location of the tumor, and its rate of growth. Treatment may include:
If the tumor is very small, its growth may be monitored. Sometimes tumors do not grow any more. This is approach is common among people over age 70.
As the tumor grows and/or hearing becomes impaired, removal of the tumor may be needed. The type of surgery depends on the size and location of the tumor. Complications of surgery may include permanent hearing loss and/or paralysis of facial muscles on the affected side.
Radiation therapy is the use of radiation to kill cells and shrink tumors. Radiation is expected to prevent further growth of the tumor. Radiation may be used when tumors are small and surgery is not possible. This method may preserve hearing. It may be given over several treatments or as one large dose. You may be treated with a procedure called stereotactic radiosurgery. This surgery uses a focused beam of radiation to destroy the tumor tissue.
There are no current guidelines for preventing acoustic neuroma.

Barely Dead (2006): Full Video

Barely Dead, the saga of modern rollerblading. A film by Doug Urquhart, written by Justin Eisinger.
Jon Julio is probably the most respected man on rollerblades. And this interview from six years ago for Barely Dead shows exactly why.
Covering a range of topics from picking team riders, the pros/cons of contests, the importance of fashion sense in blading and much more, this 30 minutes is a very real and very candid look at a blader who has shaped rollerblading as we all know it.
We think you'll find it as interesting a statement on blading's past and present (and future) as we do.
In 2006, many of rollerblading's most influential individuals were interviewed for the documentary Barely Dead. Six years later, these interviews provide intriguing commentary on the growth and progression of rollerblading and blade culture.
While fashions may have changed and companies have come and gone, the words spoken by these blading leaders capture the many complex nuances of rollerblading life. Watch for some rollerblading history from the recent past that we all experienced together.

In 1995, just four years after rollerblading became the fastest growing participation sport in human history, the first X-Games made its way into households across America. While millions of people were already familiar with the idea of inline skating as a recreational activity, the X-Games was the first time most viewers ever saw a side of the sport known then as aggressive inline skating.
For any young sport, getting so much exposure was a triumph – seen at the time as testimony to the sports' longevity; a sign of widespread public acceptance. But what no one seemed to expect was public backlash from the recently united action sports community that nearly erased the sports' mainstream marketability.
More than ten years later, a young sport that many wrote off as unoriginal has discovered the truth behind its origins and progressed to levels of unfathomable athleticism. Traits once viewed as weaknesses have evolved into strengths, and while the world slept, rollerblading — and those who live to do it — built a formidable international network of the dedicated and industrious nature.
BARELY DEAD is a film about an underground culture that has grown beyond ethnic, economic and social boundaries- a culture brought together by a shared love for rollerblading. And why that culture is going to be the next great anti-establishment movement for the 21st century.
The Barely Dead Dvd is at the Duplicators, check more photos of the packaging here.

Garett posted some quotes of Grimcity :
Also, fuck any and everyone that uses the term "Action Sports", means it, and attempts to classify skateboarding in that group. Fuck them with a fire hydrant (note: that wasn't explicitly done in this video, but everyone that uses the term "action sports" lumps skateboarding into that category)..
From the clip, Quote:
"We've done all the fine tuning, now it's time to build a culture around it a little bit…"PUKE, PISS, BUKKAKE. For fuck's sake, if someone wants to rollerskate down a 50 stair handrail, that's fine… way to go, neato… but "build a culture" around it? Eat a lumpy diseased infested dick. Anything "built" around it will be artificial… "culture" is something that manifests itself naturally… culture just happens. Any and every "culture" you try to make will be complete and utter bullshit.
Joe: "Hey Bob, what are you working on today?"
Bob: "I'm trying to invent a culture for rollerblading."
Joe: "Sounds swell! Hey, I have a buddy that sells Amway for a living… whattaya say you help to include Amway into this new fangled rollerblade culture? He really could use the money."
Bob" "Fuck yeah we'll include that in this new culture… ooohhh, we have to include Grape Nuts too. From now on, Grape Nuts is part of blader culture!"I will give props out to Arlo Eisenberg (featured in the vid linked in this thread)… he was a part of one of the best interviews ever in Big brother (aka "Worst Issue Ever," the one with Josh Kasper doing a Benihana over a bunch of really fat chicks covered in blood)… he knows he's a kook, he pretty much says it. He knows (and says repeatedly) that rollerblading in its current form is a rip off of skateboarding. Now, I don't vibe him for wanting to play on his skates, but I give him props for being up front and honest about what he does… for that, he gets free beer. It's not even the act of rollerblading that gets to me (unless I'm waiting for one to crawl out of a bowl), it's this whole fake as culture/steez thing that so many of them want to portray.
I am a bigot on the matter. I was riding a board before their sport-thing was ever really a sport-thing. They don't have roots, they don't have history. To that end, I understand… it's new, so fine… everything has a beginning. Beyond that, don't proactively try to establish some sort of mythos around it. If it's destined to have a culture, it will. Any intentioanl "world" created around it is false, and amounts to nothing more than a day time soap opera.
Having said that, nothing about this video reminds me of skateboarding in the 80's. In the 80's, skateboarding had already been well established for nearly 30 years… it had its roots in surfing, and always identified itself as such (especially in the west coast). Skateboarding never denied where it came from, nor did it make shit up to make itself legit. If anything, skateboarding (and skateboarders as a whole) have prided themselves on the fact that it wasn't/isn't legit, even while megacorporations repeatedly try to sell it to the masses.
Be-Mag posted the 2nd trailer of the upcoming Barely Dead Dvd:
We are proud to present the 2nd trailer for the highly anticipated Barely Dead project by Doug Urquhart. Post what you are expecting of this project and spread the word about this trailer, since this dvd is gonna be a must have.
RW : Barely Dead is one of the most anticipated videos that I have heard about in my 8 or so years of Rollerblading. Does the fact that so many kids are expecting so much out of this video put any pressure on you to produce a great product?
DOUG : It explains why the film has not yet been released, seriously! Here is some of the latest: Justin Eisinger and I have been taking our time perfecting the ultimate script. I'm working on upconverting all the archived material (ex. Hoax I & 2, Mad Beef master Beta's) to DVCPRO HD via a TeraNex. I have to fit into open time slots at a local studio (Crawford.com) after hours to use the Tera so I have to be patience at times. My Sony HDV camera is in So Cal right now as Carl Sturgess, Justin E, & Wes Driver help re-shoot interviews with Brian Shima and Jon Elliott. Matt Andrews is brewing up motion graphics Perfection is key. We are not rushing anything on this project but it is coming very soon. I promise!

07 Sahara Soft Top
I just bought a used 07 model year Sahara in nice mechanical and cosmetic condition/shape. Auto trans with 30,000 miles and a soft top. I am hoping someone can help me with a problem and maybe answer a question I have also. The problem I'm experiencing is the top leaks at both the driver and passenger doors where the door frame, windshield frame and soft top all come togethor whenever it rains. Water drips down the driver and passenger door's interior (passenger side is worse) and the passenger seat gets pretty soaked as does the carpet. Nothing is torn, excessively worn or damaged and everything is tight as far as I can tell. Although the soft top frabric does seem to be too taught at that location and some of the top's seam threading is pulled out from the fabric. This problem might tie into or be connected to my question: excessive noise/wind while driving. It seems like the top is not sealed/seated correctly at the windshield frame on the driver's side. The two metal clamps that lock the soft top to the windshield frame are secure but I can almost pull down on the soft top's front bar at those latches and quiet it down a little more. I used to own a TJ years ago and am basing what I believe to be excessive wind noise from the relative quiet I had from the TJ's soft top while driving. I'm pretty sure the 07's soft top is OEM Mopar not an aftermarket. Is this leaking and wind noise an inherant problem with the JK's? I honestly think it is quieter driving with the top down than when it is up and fastened! Any help, ideas, suggestions would be very much appreciated. Outside of the two leaks and wind noise, I really like this year and model Jeep a lot. Thanks, Bill |
Yes, excessive wind noise is a common problem as are the leaks above the door handles. There are TSB's (tech service bulletins) for both problems but good luck with the leaks...Jeep can't seem to fix them (in most cases) they simply "throw" possible fixes at the problem without even attempting to find the root cause (which falls back to the header).
The wind noise can be fixed by swapping the plastic one with a metal one which fixed my wind noise...took them 4 hours to do this with no charge under warranty. Leaks are another thing altogether. I have had better luck with camper tape in a few spots, slowing the leaks to a tolerable level...there are many posts on this and other forums about these problems...good luck! |
Well I went to the local dealer and found out I am out of warranty by five months so they will not perform the wind noise TSB free of charge. It entails switching out the plastic piece like mowbizz stated above. So it will cost me about $275 for the parts to do it myself. Don't mind paying for the parts if it quiets the noise down. Anyone else familiar with this fix, how hard to do myself?
Really though...no rocket science involved...just give her a try!! |
My soft top came in a box. Nothin' and I mean nothin' was assembled. There were something like 20 screws holding the header together. Now, it wasn't that complicated, just time consuming. If it comes with adequate instructions and I can't imagine it being that difficult to follow, it should be a cakewalk changing the header out. Good luck.
Hi. Did not want to start a new thread on this.
I have the exact same car it seems like... 2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara w/ soft top & half-doors. I get a ridiculous amount of water when it rains even moderately, coming in from the top front of each door where it meets the door surround/drip rails. I tried tightening down the door surrounds which may be having an effect but they loosen. There also seems to possibly be a tiny bit of rubber missing from each half door upper in the top front corner, though I am not sure if this is just a design oddity. (the half inch rubber flap looks like it should be rounded at the corners) I think the jeep is just out of warranty and I guess the previous owner never bothered to take care of it under warranty. This is my first Jeep so it is possible I am doing something wrong when I put the top back up. What is my best plan of action for solving this? The used car dealership where I bought it said they'd try to figure it out and take care of it for me, but since they're not specialists or anything I don't think it will make much difference. I am considering purchasing new door surrounds or new half-door uppers but I don't want to waste the money if I don't need to. I am going nuts dealing with this and am rapidly going from being in love with this car to hating it. At least on days that it rains. I don't even wanna think what I would be in for when Chicago winter hits. |
I would look to make sure that the gaskets at least mate up an are compressed in the area of leakage. If not, you could try adding layers of thin rubber like the dealers do to solve issues. If the rubber parts seem to mate up nicely, try coating the rubber surfaces with silicone lubricant. Careful not to use silicone sealant, that would be a mistake. I had a jeep early 08 model year that Chrysler bought back because of leaks. If my current one starts leaking, and it is out of warranty, that is the course that I will be trying. This was explained to me by a guy that never brought his back to the dealer to solve his leaks, he just took care of it himself and he had success.

It would be very easy, in this age, for a Persian artist to want to make a statement with her music, as she watches the U.S. media and government slowly condition Americans to hate Iran and everything it stands for. On her debut album No Ceiling, however, Haale Gafori avoids any sort of political posturing or musical activism, allowing her listeners to concentrate on the sweeping, majestic nature of her music and the self-seeking, spiritual words she offers to go with that music. In general, Haale's music is a bit like Tori Amos using her belting voice over Middle-East-influenced rock 'n' roll, all rolling guitars and toned percussion, and the uniform feel of the album makes it easy to listen to for the duration of its ten tracks. Apart from the general feel of her music, however, there is a slight stylistic gap between the songs she sings in English and those that she sings in Persian. Specifically, the Persian songs have more of a build to them, in that the tension of those tracks seems to construct itself in layers, an appealingly sexual dance of hold and release that gives those songs a weight lacking in Haale's English-language offerings. Perhaps it's the inspiration for those tracks, pulled largely from Sufi poetry; perhaps it's simply a matter of knowing that the music needs to communicate the message to an audience that might not understand it. Regardless, Haale helpfully includes translations in the liner notes, and while they might not immediately stick out like the Persian tracks, the English songs are nothing to sneeze at, either. Regardless of all of this, what No Ceiling makes most obvious is that, as a singer-songwriter, Haale has far more maturity and skill than anyone releasing their first full-length has a right to.

New Delhi, Aug 9: Wanting the country to be "Congress-free", new BJP chief Amit Shah today said Congress culture needs to be replaced by that of his party whose foremost priority is to win the upcoming assembly elections in four states with big majority.
"For long Congress 'vichar' (thought) has been pre-dominant in the country's politics. Now it is time to ensure that our 'vichar' (thought) has an imprint on nation's politics," said Shah, the architect of saffron victory in crucial Uttar Pradesh with 73 out of 80 seats in the Lok Sabha polls.
Addressing the party's day-long National Council meeting here that ratified his appointment as BJP president, Shah also targeted leaders of other parties, including Nitish Kumar of JD(U) and Akhilesh Yadav of Samajwadi Party and said it was necessary that the party should capture power in these two states as well.
In a pep talk to his party cadres, he said BJP should strive to form governments even in states like Andhra Pradesh for which the party cadres should expand the BJP's reach throughout the country. "The country is yet to be rid of Congress. The cadres should keep this in mind…. Assembly elections are coming in four states of Jammu and Kashmir, Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
"We need to ensure that we get absolute majority in all these states. This is our foremost priority. But our long-term objective is to provide good governance to the entire country," he told the conclave attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior leaders like L K Advani, M M Joshi and outgoing party chief Rajnath Singh.
He underlined that the party would not be in government for long unless its reach is expanded and exhorted all the ministers to work for implementation of the party manifesto. Expressing happiness over the fact that Congress was not able to open its accounts in 14 seats in the general elections, he said the party even lost the right to get the status of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha.

Cameron Says He'll Send Daughter to State-Run School
Kitty DonaldsonPrime Minister David Cameron, once a pupil at Britain's most famous fee-paying school for boys, said he will send his eldest daughter Nancy to a state-run high school, citing improvements in London's educational record.
The premier, who was educated at Eton College, which counts Prince William, second in line to the throne and 18 other British prime ministers among its alumni, is under political pressure not to appear elitist as he cuts public services to tackle the nation's budget deficit.
"In London there's a real improvement taking place," Cameron was cited as telling The House magazine, which is distributed to lawmakers. "There's a big culture change in our schools and that's taking place in London."
Nancy, now age 9, will switch to high school when she's 11. Last summer she made headlines when Cameron revealed he mistakenly left her in a pub by herself when he and his wife Samantha left in separate cars, each assuming she was with the other.
"There was no finger-wagging afterwards and Nancy has promised not to brief against me -- she actually used that term, she is learning fast," Cameron was quoted as telling the Mail on Sunday tabloid on June 23.
In class-conscious Britain, the decision whether to send children to a fee-paying school is politically charged. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair was criticized by some lawmakers when he was in office for sending his three eldest children to a state-funded school that selected applicants for entry.
'Posh Boys'
One of Cameron's own lawmakers, Nadine Dorries, called Cameron and Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, who was also privately educated, "arrogant posh boys who don't know the price of milk."
"The House" magazine also cited the prime minister as saying he will consider looking at what welfare payments migrants from other EU countries should be entitled to.
"It's worth looking at the current rules and regulations, what other countries do, what could we do," Cameron said. "We should just be generally impatient and enthusiastic for getting the relationship right, and there may be some things you can do under existing rules that that other countries do we could have a proper good look at."
Cameron also promised to promote more women in government. He ruled out the leader of the U.K. Independence Party appearing in televised debates in the run-up to the 2015 elections and revealed his talents for home improvement, putting together Ikea furniture in a "very successful" fashion and pulling down a shed.

"Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank." - Acts 9:7-9
A dazed Paul is laid up after being knocked from his horse to the ground. But he's laid up only for a while. It won't be long before he hits the ground again—this time, running. He's going to find out, once he can see and starts taking nourishment, why the early Christian church called itself "The Way." Life in Jesus is not a stationary affair.
Pretty soon it'll be hard to keep track of him, whether on land or sea; harder still to keep up with him as he knocks other people off their horses and off their courses, announcing a Messiah who himself threw everything off balance.
He'll be called a fanatic by some folks in later generations, and there's a reason or two for that; but mostly he was just restless. Charged up, you might say. Hit out of the blue by a bolt from heaven, as another writer put it, "forever after he had the jitters for Christ."
It'd be tough on everyone if our churches were filled only with people who share Paul's agitated temperament! We need some quiet, calm ones to keep the ship steady in the water. But we'll surely be sunk if there's no one who's been struck with the urgent compulsion to be up and running; if this whole religion and church thing is just a really interesting idea to be considered at arm's length from overstuffed chairs; if our journey of faith starts and ends with studying the map, and we never set foot on The Way.
Give us a holy restlessness, O God of mission. Make us eager to be on the Way with Jesus, impelled by love, alive with joy, and bent on mercy.

Video: Bombers' father tells son to surrender, threatens US
posted at 10:31 am on April 19, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
Earlier today, I said that we should cut the father of the two bombing suspects some slack for calling his younger son– now on the run from police — "a true angel." On the other hand, the apple does not fall far from the tree, apparently:
The father of suspected Boston Marathon bomber called on his son today to give up peacefully, but warned the U.S. that if his son is killed "all hell will break loose."
Anzor Tsarnaev spoke to ABC News from his home in the Russian city of Makhachkala as Boston police carried out an intense dragnet for his son Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. ….
The elder Tsarnaev insisted that his sons were innocent, but said he would appeal to his son to "surrender peacefully""Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you. Come home to Russia," the dad said.
The father warned, however, "If they killed him, then all hell would break loose."
Maybe he missed this earlier in the week, but hell broke loose on Monday. His sons may or may not have conducted the bombing, but they certainly seem to have engaged in a firefight with police. If Dzhokar isn't inclined to surrender, that's too bad.
Perhaps the Russian police might be interested in that threat, too.

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
Urologists diagnose and treat problems involving the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Unlike most other medical subspecialists, urologists provide care throughout the life cycle — from newborns to elderly. Because of the broad range of clinical problems they encounter, urologists have a familiarity with many other medical fields — such as internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, geriatrics and oncology — in addition to surgical training.
The expertise of the Urology Department at Mayo Clinic Rochester covers the spectrum of clinical urology. Our physicians are leaders in clinical research that enhances our capability to offer the most advanced treatments available.
We are currently working on developing novel therapies for treatment of advanced urologic cancers. Our vast clinical experience and ongoing research into minimally invasive procedures are reflected in our low complication rates and improved outcomes.
One area of special expertise is laparoscopic surgery — a minimally invasive surgery that results in shorter hospital stays, less discomfort and bleeding and a shorter recovery period. Laparoscopy is not performed in all urology departments because it is a relatively new technique which requires special training and experience.

1. What is board certification?
Certification by the American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis (ABAPsa) is a voluntary process and the last step in post-doctoral professional credentialing. Its purpose is to assure competency in the practice of psychoanalysis. ABAPsa certification is granted to psychologist-psychoanalysts who successfully complete three stages of a rigorous peer review process: Credentials review and vetting; submission of a practice sample and/or its equivalent to assess breadth of knowledge; and an oral examination by peer reviewers typically held at the Division 39 Spring meeting.
2. What are the requirements for a psychoanalyst to become ABPP certified?
For details, click here: ABAPsa Requirements.
3. Is ABAPsa board certification anything like board certification in medicine?
ABAPsa is similar to board certification in medicine insofar as it applies exclusively to those who have completed both doctoral as well as psychoanalytic training (or its equivalent) and is conferred by an independent certification body. Principally, board certification represents acknowledgment by one's professional peers of competency to practice the specialty of psychoanalysis as documented by a thorough examination of one's knowledge and abilities. In psychology, the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) is the umbrella board for 14 specialty boards, including ABAPsa. The ABAPsa specialty board certification includes training requirements, credentials review, practice sample evaluation, and oral examination.
4. How is ABAPsa structured?
ABAPsa is a merged board and academy, one of the fourteen specialty member boards of the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). Started by APA in 1947, ABPP is the oldest and most well-recognized board-certifying body in psychology. ABAPsa's Board is responsible for conducting examinations to determine the qualifications of individuals who apply for certification in psychoanalysis. The review process and examinations evaluate a candidate's ability to demonstrate competence across core foundational and functional domains expected of all psychologist-psychoanalyst specialists.
6. What is the relationship between ABAPsa and ABPP?
The American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis is a membership organization comprised solely of psychologist-psychoanalysts who have successfully completed ABAPsa certification. It is overseen by the ABPP Board of Trustees.
7. How many ABAPsa board certified psychologists are there?
As of January 1, 2016, there were 131 board certified Psychoanalysts in 48 states and the District of Columbia, and Canada.
8. Is ABAPsa certification geared primarily to psychoanalysts holding academic positions?
No. The ABAPsa credential review and examination procedures are based on competence alone. It is the mission of the ABAPsa to have all competent, practicing psychoanalysts pass board examination. Moreover, exceptions can be made for individuals with nontraditional training backgrounds, as ABAPsa recognizes there may be more than one viable path to competence.
9. Is there support available for candidates who have questions about negotiating the application/examination process?
Peer support and opportunities for mentorship are available. Generally speaking, every effort is made to support the candidate through the process, and procedures are in place for resubmission of materials/re-examination in cases where the candidate experience difficulty.
10. What benefit is there to certification through APAPsa?
Board certification through ABAPsa assures the public and the profession that the specialist has successfully completed the education, training, and experience requirements of the specialty including an examination designed to assess the competencies necessary to provide psychoanalytic services of the highest quality. It is a recognition of competency by one's peers validated by an independent examining body. Consumers of psychoanalytic services can be assured that the individual with ABAPsa certification has stood for and passed a rigorous examination of their skills and knowledge. Independent verification of competency is especially important in an increasingly competitive marketplace for mental health services.

11. Do any governmental bodies or institutions recognize ABPP?
Yes. ABPP and all its specialty boards are recognized in 40 states as evidence for transferability of license. The Veteran's Administration recognizes only ABPP and its specialty boards as grounds for a salary increase to staff psychologists.
12. Do you have a "Senior Option" for late-career psychoanalysts, making it easier to get certified?
Yes. Moreover, reasonable flexibility is incorporated into the credential review, taking into account historical training milieus as well as regional availability of training opportunities.

From: Selected Treats,
Just before the Easter break, Wahanda were lucky enough to be invited to sunny south London for the opening of French organic beauty brand Melvita's second UK store.
In line with the company's environmental philosophy, the Putney branch has been crafted entirely from natural, renewable, PEFC-certified European wood, finished with Eco-label, low emission paint and decked out with a sky mural ceiling and 'living wall' (covered in air-purifying plants). Both inside and out, the shiny new store looks unlike any other beauty boutique on the highstreet and is packed full of the entire Melvita range of over 300 natural based products.
After the ribbon had been cut and the store officially opened by a slightly flustered Janey Lee Grace (Radio 2 personality, organic and natural health expert and author) who got caught up in traffic, we checked out the extensive range of lotions, washes and nutritional aids on offer.
Featuring everything from honey-based supplements to a new range of mineral filter-based suncare, every Melvita product has been dermatologically tested and certified by environmental body ECOCERT. Using their own Covent Garden based bees to produce many of the organic honey-derived ingredients (Melvita itself is an amalgamation of the Latin for 'honey' and 'life'), each formula not only smells lovely and helps you look great without causing chemical irritation, but is good for the environment too.
We particularly liked the creamy, peach scented sun cream, the wide range of restorative oils and the easily absorbed, multipurpose Universal Cream, which kept our hands soft for hours afterwards!
If you'd like to find out more and would like to experience the range for yourself, check out our blog covering some of the history of the brand, visit Melvita's Putney or Covent Garden stores (where you can take a look at their rooptop glass hive enclosure) or head to uk.melvita.com

Nathan Beaulieu won't be taking a vacation during the NHL's Olympic break.
The Canadiens announced on Sunday morning that the defenceman has been assigned to the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs. In 16 games with the Canadiens this season the 21-year-old has two assists, eight penalty minutes and is plus-5. In 32 games with Hamilton, he has four goals, 10 assists , 21 penalty minutes and is minus-4. Beaulieu was selected by the Canadiens in the first round (17th overall) of the 2011 NHL entry draft.
The Bulldogs visit the Toronto Marlies Sunday at 3 p.m. The game will be televised on RS360.
The Canadiens headed into the Olympic break on a high note, beating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 Saturday night for their third straight victory. The Habs sit in third place in the Atlantic Division with 70 points, one behind the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Toronto Maple Leafs also have 70 points, but have played one more game. Montreal and Toronto are six points clear of fifth-place Detroit.
Canadiens fans – and Team USA – got a scare Saturday night when Max Pacioretty crashed into the goalpost and had to be helped from the ice.
"I had trouble catching my breath," Pacioretty told reporters after the game. "It's a play I make often. I went in a little awkwardly and I dinged my arm and my hip, but I feel good now.
"I was very worried at first," he added. "It was tough to breathe and I was having back spasms, but I had X-rays and there was nothing broken. I had some treatments while the game was going on and I feel better, I was in a lot of pain but I could tell t was more muscular. I don't feel that bad right now and I have a couple of days before we start playing in Sochi."
Carey Price and P.K. Subban, who will be part of Team Canada in Sochi, will fly to Russia on Sunday. Team Canada plays its first game at noon Thursday ET against Norway. Team USA plays Slovakia at 7:30 a.m. Thursday.

Opponent: Ohio Machine (1-6)
When: Saturday, June 22, 6 p.m.
Where: Sports Authority Field at
Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colo.
Broadcast: CBS Sports (National)
All-time vs. Ohio: 3-0
Matchup: The Outlaws return home to
face the Ohio Machine after defeating the Chesapeake Bayhawks 13-9 in a rematch
of last year's Steinfeld Cup Championship Game. The Outlaws beat the Machine on
the road on May 4. Ohio, which opened the year with six straight losses, is coming off its first win of the season against the
Rochester Rattlers.
History: Since the Machine's
inception in 2012, they have lost all three of their games against the Outlaws.
Last Week: Denver took a two-game
lead atop the MLL standings with a 13-9 win against Chesapeake, the reigning
national champion.
"To come out of there—considering
where we were last time we played them—to come out of there with a win, go on
the road against not just a good team but a team that's battling to maintain
their supremacy we're certainly very pleased to come out of there and have a
win," Outlaws Head Coach Jim Stagnitta said.
In the second professional
lacrosse game of his career, rookie Eric Law led the way for Denver with five
goals, earning him Player of the Game and MLL Cascade Rookie of the Week honors
for the second straight week. The attackman, who graduated from the University
of Denver just hours before making his MLL debut on June 8, connected on all nine shots that he took in his first two games with the Outlaws.
"[University of Denver Head Coach]
Bill Tierney said [Law] is somebody that—and this is before he had his great
senior year—Bill said this is a kid that's going to fit right in with what you
guys do, and you're going to love him," Stagnitta said. "Bill was right on all
accounts, and he's certainly a great kid….he's a really talented all-around
player. He's got a very-well rounded game."
In goal, Denver's Jesse
Schwartzman and Chesapeake's Kip Turner both turned in strong performances,
recording save percentages of 65.4 and 59.4, respectively.
"As well as Law
played, Jesse was the one who stopped the Bayhawks' runs and gave us a chance
to win that game," Stagnitta said.
While the Outlaws
notched their seventh win of the season, the Machine snapped their six-game
losing skid with their first victory of the year against the Rattlers. Joe
Cummings led all scorers with five goals, and Connor Martin completed a hat
When Denver Has the
Ball: The Outlaws lead the MLL in goals scored with 122—32 more than the
second-highest scoring team, the Charlotte Hounds. Denver boasts three of the
league's top-five points leaders. Brendan Mundorf ranks third with 28 points on
the year, Drew Snider sits at fourth with a point total of 26, and Chris
Bocklet rounds out the top five with 25 points. Bocklet is the second-highest
scorer in the MLL with 20 goals this season.
When Ohio Has the
Ball: The Machine sit at the bottom of the league in scoring offense with 56
goals on the year. Their biggest threats on the offensive end of the field are
Steele Stanwick and Cummings, who have recorded 17 and 16 points this season,
When Nobody Has the
Ball: Denver's Anthony Kelly continues to rank second in the league in faceoff percentage.
He has won 114-of-196 attempts for a percentage of 58.2. Ohio, by contrast, is
the MLL's bottom dweller at the X with a faceoff percentage of 42.5. Kelly went
13-of-26 (.500 pct) against the Bayhawks last weekend, while the Machine's Eric
O'Brien won 14-of-27 faceoffs (.519 pct) against the Rattlers.
Battle in Net: Saturday's
matchup will pit two of the league's top goalies against each other. Ohio's
Brian Phipps' goals-against average of 10.33 ranks second in the MLL, and Schwartzman
follows closely behind with a goals-against average of 10.35, good for third in
the league. Both goaltenders are coming off strong performances last weekend.
Phipps stopped 13-of-23 (.565 pct) of Rochester's shots on goal, while
Schwartzman saved 17-of-26 (.654) of Chesapeake's attempts.

Confirming the development, a BCCI source said, "All India Cements employees connected with the BCCI have been taken out of the Board as per the Supreme Court's order." (Agencies) Latest News from Sports News Desk
The notable faces among them are Tamil Nadu Cricket Association secretary and a close aide of Srinivasan, Kashi Viswanathan, who was a member of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and New Area Development sub-committees. He headed the costs department of India Cements for a long time and retired only a couple of years back.
Apart from Vishwanathan, others India Cements employees who have been removed from the BCCI till the Supreme Court's final orders are Indian team's logistics manager M A Satheesh, chief financial officer of Indian Premier League Prasanna Kannan, the joint secretary of TNCA R I Palani who is one of the senior managers of the company and is a member of the BCCI zonal academies committee and and P S Raman, vice-president of TNCA who is also Srinivasan's lawyer and a legal consultant for both TNCA and BCCI.
Interestingly, Satheesh, who was in Bangladesh with the Indian team for the ICC Twenty20 World Cup, was called back on Saturday after the Supreme Court's order.
The Supreme Court, during a hearing into the IPL spot-fixing and related issues on Friday, passed an interim order asking Sunil Gavaskar to take over as BCCI President for IPL affairs and Senior Vice President Shivlal Yadav to take charge of non-IPL matters. It also ordered that employees of India Cements or its associate companies should not be part of the Cricket Board.
The Supreme Court, however, said players and commentators who are on India Cements' payroll can be part of the BCCI. Besides India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is a vice-president in the company, a number of present and former players including Ravichandran Ashwin, Dinesh Karthik, Rahul Dravid and cricketer-turned-commentator L Sivaramakrishnan are employed with India Cements.

Fun, clean course. I only gave it an A- because I can't say it's as good as Mesker, plus it smells like sewage on a couple of tees.

Bigger loans for village homes
Related topics
These houses are now included in the HKMC's 85 per cent mortgage scheme, but experts do not expect a flood of buyers
A relaxation of the lending policy for village houses will help interested buyers enter the market more easily, but banking and property experts do not expect a sharp jump in transaction volume and prices.
They said complicated land ownership and poor control of building quality continued to cloud the sector's outlook.
The Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation (HKMC) last week included village houses in its mortgage insurance programme, which enables buyers to get up to 85 per cent mortgage loans.
The move is seen as a breakthrough as buyers of village houses could previously get loans of only 50 per cent to 70 per cent.
HKMC senior vice-president Kenny Fok Tsz-chun said several banks had approached the corporation over the past few months to ask that the mortgage insurance programme be expanded to cover village houses.
'After consultation with our approved reinsurers, the corporation decided to expand the scope so as to enable high loan-to-value financing to be made available to potential homebuyers interested in acquiring village houses,' he said.
Immediately after the new arrangement was announced, Bank of East Asia and DBS Bank said they had joined the programme.
The Bank of East Asia is offering buyers of village houses mortgages at interest rates as low as 2.25 percentage points below prime. Loan terms are for up to 30 years, the same as for typical apartments in housing estates.
DBS Bank is also offering village homebuyers a rate of 2.25 percentage points below prime. Buyers are also offered another option at 1 percentage point above the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate. Loan tenures are up to 40 years.
Derek Chung Siu-kuen, DBS Bank's head of mortgage and secured loans, said the village house market had been underserved in the past.
The 85 per cent mortgage programme would help buyers of quality village homes get finance more easily, he said.
Ricacorp Properties managing director Ivan Ho said: 'A growing number of local young couples fancy village houses. However, they cannot afford the 30 per cent to 50 per cent down payment.'
The relaxation of the lending policy would help these people to own properties, he said.
The value of village house transactions last year reached $2.58billion on 2,070 deals, compared with $2billion on 1,764 deals transacted during 2004, according to Centaline Property Agency statistics.
Financial lenders said not all village houses would benefit from the new policy.
Centaline Finance director and general manager Hendrick Leung Lee-chung said large-scale village house developments and quality houses would easily secure financing, '[but] marketability is a major concern'.
Mr Lee said the market for village houses was small, and it was difficult for banks to look for new buyers for properties repossessed from borrowers who had failed to repay their loans.
He said some banks remained conservative in lending money in the market due to complicated land ownership issues, especially for small houses owned by indigenous men in the New Territories.
Under the small-house policy, all male villagers in the New Territories who can trace their village roots back to 1898 will be given land to build a three-storey villa of up to 2,100 square feet in total floor space. The policy was initiated in 1972.
But not all village houses are small houses. And anyone can buy public or private land to build houses for resale purposes.
Peggy Tam Lai-king, head of mortgage lending at Hang Seng Bank, said the bank had no interest in aggressively expanding into this market due to its small size. The bank provides 60 per cent mortgages to buyers of village homes.
Mr Chung of DBS Bank said that, although the bank had joined the HKMC's 85 per cent mortgage programme, it would adopt a prudent policy when it came to selecting clients.
'We will only provide mortgages for quality and popular village houses,' he said.

Signed Contract To Buy U.S. Homes Dips Slightly
WASHINGTON (AP) — A measure of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes fell only slightly in February to the second-highest level in nearly three years. The report suggests sales of previously occupied homes will keep rising in the coming months.
The National Association of Realtors says its seasonally adjusted index for pending home sales fell to 104.8 in February. That's down from 105.2 in January, which was the highest reading since April 2010, when a homebuyer's tax credit was boosting sales.
There is generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale. In February, completed sales of previously occupied homes rose to the fastest pace in more than three years. The gains in both signed contracts and completed sales point to a housing recovery that is strengthening.
