JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon conceded a key point when pressed by lawmakers about a proposed ban on proprietary trading at banks: Had the rule been in place, it may have prevented the firm's recent $2 billion loss.
The ban "may very well have stopped parts of what this portfolio morphed into," Dimon said yesterday in testimony to the Senate Banking Committee.
Dimon's comments provided new ammunition to lawmakers and regulators emboldened by JPMorgan's mistakes who argue that a stricter ban on banks using their own money to make trades is needed to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. The ban, part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, was named for Paul Volcker, the former Fed chairman who championed the measure.
"The Volcker rule is the law," Bart Chilton, a Democratic member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, one of five federal regulators working on the details, said in an e-mail. "JPMorgan's recent circumstances certainly should light a fire under regulators to get on with it ASAP."
For the past year, in part because of public tiffs between Dimon and regulators including Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, JPMorgan has become the public face of Wall Street's opposition to the Volcker rule.
While Dimon acknowledged the Volcker rule might have prevented the trades in question, he stopped short of endorsing the measure. Later in the hearing, he said the rule was "unnecessary" because of other changes to the banking system, such as higher capital levels, and warned that a tough ban on proprietary trading could restrict access to credit.
"Think of it as traffic laws," Dimon said. "Some cars should go 65. Some shouldn't. Some streets should be different. Some lights should be bright. Things should be done right. We have the widest, deepest, and best capital markets in the world. It would be a shame to shed that out of anger."
The Dodd-Frank Act requires regulators to make rules that prevent proprietary trading at federally insured financial institutions. Volcker and other proponents argued that banks whose deposits are insured by taxpayers should not be allowed to engage in trading that threatens the stability of the bank and risks a government bailout.
The Fed, along with the CFTC, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Securities and Exchange Commission, have issued proposed versions of the Volcker rule. They haven't yet completed the rule, which is set to take effect July 21.
Dimon highlighted one of the central challenges facing regulators: how to ban proprietary trading without banning hedges. The Dodd-Frank law specifically allows banks to conduct hedging activities.
"It's going to be very hard to make a bright-line distinction between proprietary trading and hedging because you could look at almost anything we do and call it one or the other," Dimon said. "Every loan we make is proprietary. If we lose money, the firm loses money. If we buy Treasury bonds and they lose money, we lose money."
Under questioning from Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama, the top Republican on the committee, Dimon said that hedges aren't just tools to minimize losses. He said they're also designed to make money for the bank.
"Yes, it's supposed to earn revenue," Dimon said, referring to hedging inside JPMorgan's chief investment office unit, where the $2 billion loss originated. "This particular synthetic credit portfolio was intended to earn a lot of revenue if there was a crisis. I consider that a hedge."
Such a strategy can easily backfire on a bank, said Karen Shaw Petrou, a managing partner at Federal Financial Analytics, a Washington research firm.
"Hedging should be boring," she said. "If they make a lot of money, they could also lose a lot of money and they're not hedges. More importantly, if people engaged in the transaction are rewarded for those profits and revenues, then they're not being paid to hedge and by definition anything they do is not hedging."
Dimon said he didn't believe JPMorgan's pay policies "made this problem worse" because "none of these folks were paid on a formula."
The hearing illustrated how the Volcker debate has evolved in Washington. Earlier this year, lawmakers and regulators were focused on provisions ensuring that banks can still conduct market-making activities. Since JPMorgan's loss, focus has shifted to the hedging exemption, said Mark Calabria, an economist and the director of financial studies at the Cato Institute in Washington.
"The hedging part is going to get more attention in Volcker because it's the more substantive part," said Calabria, who is also a former aide to Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee. "We basically know what a market maker is. There's so much more subjectivity about hedging."
Dimon said he was glad to continue the discussion over the Volcker rule as well as other Dodd-Frank regulations with lawmakers from both parties -- and would even make arrangements to do it more often in person in Washington.
"We'll even get apartments down here," Dimon said. The Dodd-Frank law "would have been better had there been more collaboration."

Meeting in the middle
May 28, 2001
,This is the tale of two annual meetings.
It was crisp, no nonsense but even-handed throughout the entire proceeding. Then came the time for shareholders' questions and comments. In years past, this part of the meeting was consumed by vitriol, sniping and emotional aggression against management from a large contingent of Sears retirees whose benefits had been adjusted downward in 1997. The total savings to Sears, management explained, would be $60 million a year over a 10-year period.
And so the line in the sand was drawn. And it continued over a number of years, with retirees offering cut-up Sears credit cards as the emotional symbol of their despair.
This year's meeting under Lacy's aegis seemed to offer an olive branch to the retirees. But the mood of the meeting was, if not a love fest, an event of conciliation, with the retirees offering kudos to Lacy.
Fast forward to Plano, TX, where the J. C. Penney Co. annual meeting took place in its headquarters, rather than a remote distribution center in Lenexa, KS, the site of last year's meeting, ostensibly to show shareholders the state-of-the-art facility. But in reality, it was designed to ensure as few shareholders as possible showed up.
But show up they did.
And the emotion at last year's meeting ran at high tide, with sobbing retirees chastising management, evoking the memory and principles of founder James Cash Penney and accusing management of violating these principles.
And management just let the venom spew forth, without a word of empathy.
Earlier this month, Penney's new ceo Allen Questrom, a veteran of high profile retailing extravaganzas, led the meeting.
Within moments of the question period, Questrom quickly recognized the emotional plus of letting the positives and negatives be heard. And the first one was the most voluble adversary from 2000. Soon he was countered by a number of pluses, some mid-grounders and an overall plus of Questrom's non-structured response to each and everyone. After an hour, the audience had a feel-good mood about it.
What a difference a year makes!!!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
is their a way to dynamically change the size of a flash movie? On top of that, can you make it "move", my changing left and top property in your stylesheet?
I noticed that the object tag has a nasty hardcoded height= and width= property. Can you use percentages for that? Or better yet, leave them out and use a style sheet instead? I have been searching all over, and all my searches lead to a talk about using tables to stretch the movie, but im really looking for a more elegant way of doing so.
If you *could* change the size and move your flash movie around, you could so some pretty interesting things I imagine.
Thanks for any help guys. I usually hang out in the CSS forums, but you might see a little more of me in here from now on too :)
for instance, lets just say you can not control the width/height/left/top of a flash movie from css.
well, there is the "setAttribute" javascript function,
which allows you to change the exact attribute writtin in the tag.
So I have 2 things to try, once i get a sample flash movie (im at work so it will be a few hours).
one is this <object id="flashMovie" width="300px" height="300px">blahblabah</object>
and then to do a
document.getElementById("flashMovie").style.width = "400px", and see what that does.
If that doesn't do anything, then I will give
document.getElementById("flashMovie").setAttribute("width","400px")a try
Im hopeful I can work that somehow. Just have to test it in a little bit.
I dont believe this is a problem in a non-local situation (client-server).
but say you have your html file and flash movie on your harddrive.
Well, Mozilla takes just a wee bit of time to load the movie, even though its local. But it also doesn't responsd to "PercentLoaded()", which is a problem. Commanding the movie using javascript-to-flash scripting fails (cuz the object in the DOM model isn't there yet, or something like that).
So, before you try to control the flash movie, do a setTimeout before your first function (like StopMovie, or GotoFrame, or whatever you are trying to do).
But, I dont *think* this is an issue in a normal situation: just when you are testing on a local machine...
Back to messing with controlling the width/height and position of the flash movie on the fly :)

Arsenal will be without striker Olivier Giroud for Tuesday's League Cup quarterfinal against League Two (fourth tier) Bradford City but manager Arsene Wenger still plans to field an experienced side.
The Gunners, who have not won at former Premier League club Bradford for 90 years, travel to Valley Parade off the back of a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
"The only new player who is not available is Olivier Giroud," Wenger said in a club preview.
"He got a kick on his back on Saturday. He has not recovered and he will be out," the Frenchman said of his team selection which could include German striker Lukas Podolski back in the starting line up.
"We will have an experienced squad at Bradford. We have a good recovery time ahead of the (Premier League) game at Reading on Monday. So we can use the players we want to use."
Fullback Bacary Sagna is likely to miss the match and forward Theo Walcott, who scored a hat-trick against Reading in the previous round, remains unavailable.
Bradford, who beat Premier League Wigan Athletic in a penalty shootout to reach their first League Cup quarter-final in 24-years, last played Arsenal in 2001 before a spectacular fall from grace saw them topple out of the top flight into the lower tiers of English football.
But Wenger, trying to guide Arsenal to their first piece of major silverware since the 2005 FA Cup, is taking no chances against a team who are likely to make life difficult with another Premier League scalp on offer.
"We know in England, you need to be ready when you go into a cup game of this intensity. Of course we want to take our chance and go through to the semi-final," Wenger said.
"We have watched them on video... They are a force in their league, they are a team who play very good football, very efficient as well.
"We know some players, we will study them more today. We take them very seriously, they are very efficient on set pieces, so we will have to be very strong on that.
"The atmosphere is similar to what we know when they were in the Premier League. The two strikers are very dangerous. it is a team who is very compact and very direct as well."

Must read for new Zendesk customers
By Arnaud
from Belgium
Comments about oreilly Practical Zendesk Administration:
The title says it all: don't expect an advanced jQuery tutorial to explain you how to hack the Zendesk front end. But expect all the information that you need as a new Zendesk customer who wants to be up and running in no time.Stafford explains in details the philosophy behind Zendesk (the reason why this product should be chosen over its competitors) and then covers in depth the complete configuration from A to Z. We had two new hires recently and I wanted them to be admins to some of our Zendesk. In one week they were up and running, compiling reports or creating advanced automations.For 20$ it's the cheapest and most complete training you could have!

DPReview smartphone reviews are written with the needs of photographers in mind. We focus on camera features, performance, and image quality.
The Apple iPhone, in its various iterations, is one of the most important devices of the past few years. Smartphones existed before the iPhone, and would exist without it, but the iPhone's innovative touch-screen interface and 'tile' operating system forever changed the way in which we think about phones, and indeed mobile technology as a whole. The iPhone 4, however, was the first iPhone graced with a camera that didn't completely suck. A built-in flash and 5MP resolution, as well as touch-to-focus and one-shot HDR functionality made it far more useful as a photographic tool than previous generations.
A little over a year later, in 2011, Apple released the iPhone 4S with upgraded camera specs all around, and the new iPhone 5, Apple's latest model (actually the sixth iPhone, but anyway...) brings a larger screen, faster processor and redesigned camera compared to its predecessor. The pixel count is unchanged though, at 8MP. On paper, the iPhone 5's camera offers very similar specifications to that of the iPhone 4S, but according to Apple, the new model should give superior results.
Click here to read our guide to iOS - Apple's mobile operating system
Key Photographic/Video Specifications
- 8MP back-lit CMOS sensor
- Five-element ~33mm (equivalent) F2.4 lens
- ISO 50-1000 (up to 3200 by pixel-binning)
- 4 inch, 326ppi LCD display
- Panorama Mode (up to ~28MP)
- HDR Mode
- Touch-to-focus and touch-to-AF/AE-lock
- Face recognition for up to 10 faces
- Hardware and on-screen shutter controls
- 1080p video mode with option to record 2MP stills during recording
Design & Operation
At this point, five years after the launch of the original version, the iPhone's design is somewhat iconic. Much imitated in the past couple of years (hello Samsung Galaxy S..), Apple hasn't meddled too much with the basic recipe since 2007. From the front, in fact, the only thing that sets the iPhone 5 apart from its predecessors is the extra vertical screen resolution.
The Camera app in iOS 6, like previous versions of the operating system, is pretty basic, but has the advantage of being uncluttered, easy to use and generally very responsive.
By default, autofocus is acquired from the centre of the image, but tapping on the screen allows you to freely move the AF point around the scene you want to capture. As well as focus, this also acts as a metering lock so long as you hold the camera relatively still. If you want to maintain the focus and exposure while still being able to recompose your shot, AE/AF lock is initiated by holding your finger in one area on the screen.
One of the things that made the original iPhone so revolutionary was its relative lack of external controls compared to other Internet-capable phones at the time. A power/lock switch, a 'home' button' and a volume control were the only physical control points. The iPhone 5 has only one more button than the original iPhone, and that's only because Apple made the old volume rocker switch into separate + and - buttons in the iPhone 4 (and subsequent models).
The iPhone 5's flash serves as a red-eye reduction lamp when a face is detected in the scene but disappointingly, it cannot be set to function as an AF-assist lamp. When the flash is turned on, the LED shines for a moment automatically to reduce red-eye, but in our testing, it doesn't help much when it comes to acheiving accurate focus in poor light.
With iOS 5, and now iOS 6 as well, you can launch directly into the camera app from the lock screen by pressing the home button once, and then swiping upwards on a camera icon on the lock screen. This doesn't completely activate the phone though - just the camera app. To do anything other than take pictures and view the ones you just took (the rest of your camera roll is locked off) you'll need to go through the normal swipe to unlock and - if you have set one - the password verification process.
As well as flash, an HDR mode is also available for shooting tricky scenes, which combines two separate exposures automatically, in-camera. This can be turned on and off from the 'options' button in the camera app, from where you can also opt to display 3x3 grid lines on the screeen to aid composition, and switch the camera to Panorama mode.

A niche portal that ensures ethics in the hiring process
CommentsA Bangalore based company has developed a portal to authenticate communication between employers and prospective employees
Kanchana Dwarkanath, TimesJobs.com Bureau
If you are faced with absconding freshers (infant mortality) within a month of joining, or faced with high attrition of your mid-level employees, contact this portal which ensures ethics in the hiring process.
Bangalore based Trusted Technology Solutions has taken the initiative to bring about collaboration amongst employers and candidates while taking up job offers.
Trusted Technology Solutions has developed an e-notarizing portal to authenticate communication between employers and employees/ job seekers, to streamline the processes and bring in more transparency and accountability.
The portal acts like a "black box" wherein the employers roll out job offers through the system and seek acceptance of the offers made. The secure portal ensures complete confidentiality of both the job seeker and the employer.
The system is designed to generate only one certificate of acceptance at any point of time for a job seeker. The architecture of the portal ensures that it does not violate any fundamental rights of any job seeker or an employer. There are "No Shows" flagged for building the track record of the job seeker.
The portal has also analytics built in, to monitor "Credibility Index" and "Ethics Score" of the job seekers. It cannot be used as a substitute for job portals as it does not capture any skill and competency details of the candidates.
This platform is provided to corporates as a service. Companies share the platform with other layers in the segment who hire from the same talent pool. A similar model is currently being used in other sectors. These include CIBIL (Credit Information Bureau India Ltd), SHCIL (Stock Holding Corporation of India) and NSDL to name a few. While these bodies cater to the various facets of financial transactions, like e-stamping, for individuals as well as corporates, the above portal focuses primarily on the employment contracts and relationships between employers and employees.
The solution also provides a platform to make an honest appraisal of employment practices enabling companies to celebrate their successes and make improvements wherever required, for employers; acts as an evaluator to check that the potential work partner shares similar values and work practices for suppliers and as a forum to honestly express employee views anonymously to the employer to encourage improvements in the processes.

Welcome to newest addition to Oh Kee Pah: the Weekly Wrap-Up with me, Tela! I'm a live music journalist from New York City and, obviously, a huge Phish phan. Phish's music and fans have inspired me to stick to my passions and do what I love, so here I am, writing about Phish. Since the boys couldn't possibly tour year round (though I give them serious props for trying), I've been lucky enough to find other bands and musicians that I want to see and support. As a fan of the Grateful Dead, I love hearing Phil and Bobby and Furthur give it their all and pull out some wild reinventions of my favorite Dead songs. And, lucky for us all, we have Umphrey's McGee to give a little taste of something different, while still maintaining the jammy, rock 'n' roll feel of the music we love.
So this weekly column is going to be a summary of news from those guys, while sometimes including peripheral but relevant updates and announcements. I hope that we cover everything you think is important, or may have missed, from the past week and as we settle into our new home on OKP, feel free to tell me how this column's doing, or what I could be doing better for you, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Until then, the news!
Last week, some folks were overjoyed at that major hold on our credit cards from Ticketmaster, but others got the dreaded "We regret to inform you..." notification from Phish Tickets that had us pulling together ISO posts for different message boards. Hopefully the devastation was met by success during the online sale, but according to Hidden Track's open poll, the large majority of us were sorely let down and will be scouring PT, cashortade.org and craigslist through Christmas.
Not only did some fans get a nice treat last week, but Phish manager Coran Capshaw was honored with the Humanitarian Award from Billboard. The benefit for Vermont being just one example, the Red Light Management founder has organized several events with all of his artists to raise awareness and money for victims, usually of weather, but also for social programs and education. With his artist roster ranging from Phish and DMB to Tim McGraw, Alicia Keys, and Switchfoot, everyone has participated in Capshaw's humanitarian efforts and, as humble a man as he seems to be, he will be honored at the awards ceremony November 10th.
Speaking of treats, Phish is releasing three shows from the middle of their legendary Fall 1997 tour in December as a seven CD box set. The killer renditions of our favorite classics will be immortalized on the recordings from November 21 & 22, Hampton Collesium and the 23rd in Winston-Salem, VA. Featuring debuts of the time like "Ghost," "Dog Stole Things," and "Piper," this box set recalls the peak performances at historic venues that fans have been begging archivists for.
Still want more? Why not pick up Mr. Miner's Phish Thoughts Anthology as a gift? If you're feeling for some Phish philosophy, Miner offers his personal insight into sets, songs, runs, tours, types of jamming, and more. He does not hesitate to delve into every aspect of Phishdom and for the hardcore fan, his wisdom is fascinating, whether or not his opinion aligns with yours. Buy it online or in person, at Mr. Miner's Book Signing and After-Party on 10.29.2011. He'll be set up very close to MSG at The Irish Times (31st btwn 7th and 8th Aves) before the show, between 4 and 6, to hang and sign the book, then again for the after party that starts when the band ends and goes until 3am. Both of these events are free.
The Grateful Dead are also pumping out some new recordings. Archivist Dave Lemiuex will be releasing a follow-up series to his successor's Dick's Pick's in February 2012. The quarterly release Dave's Pick's will be reflective of the original in his quest to find high quality and renowned shows and sets from fan-loved tours, but will continue to push the sound above and beyond by using the best 2-track recordings available. Like the intermediary series Road Trips, which came to a close at the end of October, each Dave's Pick's limited edition release (only 12,000 copies of each) will be numbered and come with informative booklets detailing the high-quality recording. The first installment will be from a most coveted part of the Spring '77 tour- May 25th, 1977 at the Mosque in Richmond, VA.
And bringing it back to the New Year, UM will be celebrating its 14th birthday with special shows in New York City January 20th and 21st at Best Buy Theater. Tickets for the show go on sale Novemeber 4th at noon.
Moving into 2012, the West Coast has a special Trey treat to look forward to: the debut of his first musical. We really shouldn't say his first, considering the "musicals" he wrote with his mom as a kid, and the "Gamehendge" saga, which is only missing actors and a stage. But it is his first time composing for theater, his first time being part of a large-scale stage production, and his first time working with the talented duo of Amanda Green and Doug Wright. The trio have been testing their new songs and Ernie's been learning more about song writing every day. What impact might this have on his future songwriting? Read the Rolling Stone interview for an in depth conversation about the coming debut of Hands on a Hardbody in La Jolla, Calif., April 27th, 2012.
That's it for this week, more to come next week on the Weekly Wrap-Up!

I'm an artist at heart that has not had time to paint in many years. Long ago I had a 35mm film camera that I loved. I entered the digital age a few years ago intending to take photos of subjects that I wanted to paint at a later date. The hobby has surpassed my desire to paint. I hope you enjoy my efforts as much as I enjoy everyone else's images. I think I learn as much from my fellow photographers here on WU as I do on my own.

I saw that but i thought he said he wouldn't draft either Glennon or Dysert. If i have to hear that the Jets have no interest in Zac Dysert, hearing that they also have no interest in mike Glennon would make everything alright with me.
Printable View
Citadel, South Alabama, Connecticut aren't exactly world beaters either. You can always say that the easy games are where a prospect "padded", but most schedules have hard and easy games mixed in. Glennon played enough trash games to have his overall stats be lower than Bray. He played South Carolina and Georgia pretty damn tough.
Outside of Geno - I haven't seen 1 QB I'd spend anything other than a 5th rounder on.
I'd give Nassib, Manuel and Barkley 4th round like grades, and pass on them all. The Brays, Glennons, Jones, etc are worth late flyer if our situation was like it was in 2012, but we're on the precipice of going after a big name franchise kind of guy in 2014, so it's near pointless IMO.
...we're always talking about "surround your QB with talent" "stock up your Defense with depth".... well THIS is the year to do that, so whomever we do go with in 2014, will be set up to succeed, not flounder.
I guess my thinking is in the 5th round and later there isn't much to lose in taking a guy like Bray or whoever really. Maybe you get SUPER lucky and the guy ends up somehow being your franchise QB. REALLY slim odds. Now if he isn't you hopefully have ammo (via a Revis trade) to either be in the spot to get a Bridgewater type QB or trade up to be in position. Best case scenario tho, you hit the jackpot and have your franchise QB for the 2014 draft via that flier pick in this draft and you can go ahead and really really beef up the rest of the team. High upside in my mind, and very little cost/risk.
Get extra picks - trade them for picks next year - and stay far far far away from the mediocre QBs in this draft class.
I wouldn't be surprised if no QB in this class has any success as a starting QB in their careers.
If Glennon is still on the board at #39, then why the hell not?
Kid has the biggest upside of any QB in the draft IMO.
I personally have no idea why some are so high on guys like Nassib and Bray but dog Glennon every chance they get.
Glennon has all the physical tools that you look for and by all accounts is a hardworking kid who loves football.
One of the things I love most about him is that he doesn't get shook. Like...at all. If he throws a bad pick you don't see him hanging his head or walking around with a helpless puppy dog look on his face. He inmediately puts it behind him and moves on.
What are the real knocks on him? Footwork and accuracy?
95% of QB prospects have these exact same deficiencies when coming out of college.
I'm more than willing to take a gamble on the kid.
Why not? Here is why not, the players on my draft sheet from 35 to 47
DeAndre Hopkins
Matt Elam
Zach Ertz
Alex Okafor
Cornellius Carradine
Arthur Brown
Robert Woods
Justin Hunter
Sam Mongomery
Eric Reed
Sylvester Williams
Jonahthan Jenkins
Larry Warford
Let's by pass a series of safeties, olbs, NT's, olineman and WR's who could be good starters for years to reach for a flawed QB. and you can put the name of any QB in this draft instead of Glennon other than Geno Smith who will be gone and I'd say the same thing.
I guess I'd be ok if they took him but I don't see much there right now. He needs a ton of work and I don't see a winner in him. I see a big arm and no brains.
I agree with you; especially about the safety position. However, there is one name I would like to add - Barrett Jones. The guy is a stud. I don't think people give him enough love. This guy reminds me of Joe Klecko - tough, leader, can play all along your (O) line at a high level. A guy like this is worth his weight in gold.
The list on my sheet is an average of a variety of web site rankings they are not my own rankings. Barrett Jones I think has actually slipped on the sheet from where he was. He is now at 53. There are two schools of thought on Jones. 1) He is a great versatile high character guy that has played 3 oline spots at a high level in his career thus desirable and 2) He is a high character guy but the fact that he has played 3 positions means he is not great at any one spot.
Supposedly his lisfranc (sp?) injury will have him starting the season on the PUP, and this is causing him to drop further than usual. Apparently he might even be available in the 4th round. I'd definitely take him in that range, huge steal in my opinion.
I'd pass on Glennon.
We had our immobile statue when we stupidlypassed on Dan Marino

Professor Explains Nuances of Entertainment Litigation
Thursday, April 3, 2008
Aired 4/19/09
Tom Fudge : Entertainment lawyers may love show business. But to them the emphasis is on the business, not the show. And the key to making the business work is striking the deal, getting the talent to sign on the dotted line.
In the past, show business contracts have been famously exploitive of talent. The best example may be the way early black pioneers of rock and roll were paid peanuts for what became huge hits. Today, actors and musicians are more likely to profit from their creativity. Yet, reality television and entertainment phenomena like the movie Borat are bringing the show biz contract into new territory.
- Kevin J. Greene , associate professor of law at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, and an expert in entertainment and contract law. His clients have included film director Spike Lee and the rap group Public Enemy.

The wrong avenue for right-of-abode protests
However justified their case may be, four fathers of abode seekers allowed a burning sense of injustice to get the better of them when they climbed onto the roof of a footbridge and threatened to jump last week. Rush-hour traffic in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay was disrupted as police and firemen tried to talk them down. The chief executive and the security minister were quick to condemn the stunt, with the latter, Ambrose Lee Siu-kwong, rightly describing it as irresponsible.
The four were among about 60 abode seekers' parents who exercised their right to hold a peaceful protest. But the extreme actions of a few did nothing for a cause that already faces an uphill battle against the law and a public fuelled by suspicion of mainlanders.
That is regrettable. Few who read the stories of three of the parents, which we publish today, could fail to feel sympathy for their plight. No matter how desperate it is, the last thing they need is negative publicity, however. Apart from the political obstacles on both sides of the border, such incidents call to mind the horrific arson attack during a demonstration in Immigration Tower in 2000 that resulted in the deaths of an abode seeker and an immigration officer.
The four were arrested for obstructing public order. A fifth man was held for allegedly assaulting police. Given the inconvenience caused to the public, it was to be expected that Mr Lee would respond to the protest by saying it would not affect enforcement of the law on the right of abode and there would be no amnesty.
However, the government is to be commended for keeping the lines of communication open, showing it is not unwilling to talk or to try to apply the law with compassion. Immigration and security officials met abode seekers and their supporters yesterday. They will talk to the parents at another meeting tomorrow. It is in meetings such as these, rather than on the streets, and through patient argument and persuasion that the protesters are most likely to find a measure of satisfaction in the short term.
The injustice they seek to have remedied has behind it the force of a law they cannot challenge. They won their day in court seven years ago with a ruling that mainland-born children of Hong Kong residents were entitled to right of abode here, only to see it overturned when the government sought a reinterpretation of the Basic Law from Beijing. As a result, the right of abode is now confined to children born after one of their parents gained permanent residency in Hong Kong.
Events since then have thrown doubt on the government's claim that the court ruling would have resulted in more than 1.6 million mainlanders flooding in, causing huge increases in welfare spending and unemployment, the loss of vast areas of land to new housing estates and intolerable pressure on the health and education services. Four years later, little more than half the immigrants eligible under the law as it stood after the reinterpretation had opted to exercise their right, suggesting the number of potential migrants wanting to live in Hong Kong has fallen far short of expectations. The number of mainlanders settling here under the one-way-permit scheme, and particularly the number exercising their right of abode, also fell short of the official forecast.
The government's claims pandered to the worst prejudices towards mainlanders. It has taken the mainland's continuing growth and development to bring home the reality that integration is the key to our city's future success.
Mr Lee has said the government will press on with discussions with mainland authorities about using some of the permits issued under the existing quota system to allow abode seekers to come to Hong Kong. It would be sensible to exploit this avenue for rolling back injustice. It is more likely to lead somewhere than protests that test the boundaries of the law and alienate the public.

Comcast Profit Tops Estimates on Subscriber Additions
Alex ShermanComcast Corp., the largest U.S. cable provider, rose the most in more than three years after reporting profit that topped estimates amid subscriber gains and NBCUniversal advertising sales.
The shares rose 5.5 percent to $45.08 at the close in New York, the biggest one-day gain since April 2010. The shares have gained 21 percent for the year.
Comcast gained 187,000 broadband subscribers and lost 159,000 TV customers in a seasonally weak quarter for cable operators as college students disconnect service for the summer vacation. The performance in the categories marked Comcast's best second-quarter results since 2008.
"Cable subscriber metrics exceeded our estimates in all three services," Bryan Kraft, an analyst at Evercore Partners Inc. in New York, said in a note to clients. He has the equivalent of a buy rating on the shares.
Net income in the three months through June climbed 29 percent to $1.73 billion, or 65 cents a share, from $1.35 billion, or 50 cents, a year earlier, the company said today in a statement. The average analyst estimate was for net income of $1.69 billion, or 63 cents a share, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
This was the seventh consecutive quarter Comcast beat the average net income estimate from analysts compiled by Bloomberg and the biggest earnings day share gain since May 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
NBC Gains
Sales rose 7 percent to $16.3 billion, surpassing the average analyst estimate of $16 billion. NBCUniversal revenue rose 8.9 percent to $6 billion, and the division's operating cash flow jumped 21 percent to $1.19 billion. NBCUniversal comprises the NBC broadcast network, cable networks including CNBC, USA and Bravo, Universal Pictures and theme parks.
The broadcast network's advertising revenue gained 13 percent to $1.27 billion, helped by the popularity of "The Voice" reality show. NBC had a "good year" in terms of ratings, Steve Burke, NBCUniversal chief executive officer, said during a conference call today.
"We made up relative performance versus our other competitors," Brian Roberts, Comcast's CEO, said during the call. NBC competes for ad dollars with Walt Disney Co.'s ABC, CBS Corp.'s CBS and 21st Century Fox Inc.'s Fox among broadcast networks.
NBC reached $2.1 billion in advertising commitments for the coming TV season starting in September, according to a person with knowledge of the contracts.
Bull Case
"The bull case for Comcast is the upside of NBCUniversal," Jaison Blair, an analyst at Telsey Advisory Group in New York, said in an interview. "If Comcast can improve the broadcast programming, the syndication revenues begin to come."
Revenue from NBC's cable networks grew 7.7 percent to $2.41 billion and broadcast television sales jumped 12 percent to $1.73 billion. Comcast acquired the remainder of NBCUniversal from General Electric Co. for $16.7 billion in March.
The Universal Pictures studio's sales improved 13 percent to $1.39 billion. Theme park sales rose 1.3 percent to $546 million.
The Philadelphia-based company also added 161,000 telephone customers as it continues to market its triple-play offering of TV, phone and Internet.
The company said today it repurchased $500 million of its stock in the last quarter. Comcast may examine international acquisition opportunities, without taking on a lot of debt, Chief Financial Officer Michael Angelakis said during the conference call. Comcast is content with the size of its cable operations in the U.S., he said.
"We have about $4.5 billion of our roughly $65 billion revenue base in international, so we're a bit underweight," Angelakis said, in reference to sales outside the U.S. from NBC's entertainment businesses. "We really want to spend time internationally."

Interfaith Social Action Day
I am familiar with the phrase "Sara Beth plans, and God/nature/Murphy's Law laughs." (I'm paraphrasing.)
January 28th was one such day.
I live and work in Atlanta during the school year. For months (MONTHS!) I'd been planning an Interfaith Social Action & Social Justice day, with Marist & Davis colleagues, for my 8th graders at the Davis Academy and our friends in the 8th grade at Marist School, a Catholic school just a few minutes away.
I hit roadblocks in planning. Locations, dates, times, school start times, Atlanta traffic concerns (Haha! Foreshadowing!) But then it came together, groups of 50 students each were scheduled to volunteer at the Atlanta Community Food Bank, MedShare, and Books for Africa. They were to be tasked with sorting and packing tons, literally tons, of: food for Atlanta's hungry; books sorted into class sets for Africa schoolchildren; perfectly usable medical supplies, saved from landfills, and repackaged to be sent around the developing world. 120 kids were scheduled to participate in VolunteerStock at Davis, making turkey sandwiches for donation in midtown Atlanta, decorating a Prayer Canvas for the Boston Marathon, and making cards for Atlanta's sick, elderly, and those who visit our local food pantries.
In the afternoon, everyone would meet at the MLK Center in Downtown Atlanta for lunch and a program that included the extraordinary speaker Stephon Ferguson.
The night before the program, we heard that we may have to cancel the second half of the program because of a snow storm. I stayed up late, calling and emailing faculty, staff, volunteer locations, and speakers. The plan for the morning? The show must go on! The afternoon? We will play it by ear.
The morning went off without a hitch. Then we said bye to Marist, hugged, and set up for our afternoon at Davis. Beautiful. I could stop there, the blog post would be done, everyone would smile and know that 220 students and many dedicated faculty and volunteer chaperone adults did good all around Atlanta.

The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce says tackling the cost of government pensions is job one in fixing Nevada's economy. Is the Chamber trying to deflect attention from the need for a broad-based business tax, or is government pension reform in order? Jon talks with Chamber Board Chairman Steve Hill and Police Protective Association Government Affairs Director David Kallas.

With so many industries in flux, many professionals are hiring career coaches to help them navigate the new landscape. But with rates that can easily turn into four figures and time frames of several months or years, it's critical to know what not to look for in a coach.

Pest-infested Routes Climbed in MalawiPosted on: October 27, 2009 Composite sattelite image of Mulanje Massif, Malawi. Jeremy Roop and Joe Forrester recently made two notable ascents on Chambe Face, one of the continent's biggest walls. [Photo] Jesse Allen, NASA Earth Observatory Jeremy Roop and Joe Forrester recently made the first recorded free ascent of the Lower Chambe Face (aka the Eastwood Route, 2,000') and bagged 3,000 feet of new terrain on the Upper Chambe Face, Mt. Mulanje, Malawi. The lower face now goes free at III 5.10d; the new route, Nkhalango Khoswe, is IV 5.10. The team said that Nkhalango Khoswe is Chichewa for "Jungle Rats." A fitting name, perhaps: the route, Forrester said, follows a "spider- and scorpion-filled jungle chimney system to the top." advertisement
More details on the climb will be posted in Alpinist NewsWire when they become available.

Lippy Terry doesn't want any help from the Spurs - Loquacious Dallas guard Jason Terry has promised to personally knock the Spurs out of the playoffs as he repeatedly maintained that the Mavericks were the best team in Texas over the second half of the season. The Mavericks jumped a half game ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers for the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference after notching a 98-91 overtime victory over Houston Monday night. The Spurs are safely tucked into the No. 1 seed in the West with two games remaining. READ MORE
Project Spurs: Spurs news and notes: Real life matters, the tiebreaker, and more - With all the talk of the NBA playoffs, the end of the regular season, and more, checkout the San Antonio Spurs and their mascot, the Coyote, giving a Spurs fan stricken with down syndrome a room makeover -- Spurs style. The Spurs also helped out at a fundraiser for Eddie Moreno, a San Antonio high school basketball player who was paralyzed from the neck down after getting shot in a road-rage incident: "The Spurs Coyote and a few Silver Dancers also made an appearance and posed for photos, and Eddie Moreno T-shirts, buttons and wristbands were sold at a rapid clip. The event turned out to be a full-blown festival that brought a few thousand people together." READ MORE
Adelman wants to continue coaching - Though Rick Adelman says he hasn't had talks with owner Leslie Alexander about coaching the Rockets next season, he did offer his strongest indication yet he'd like to continue in his profession. "I don't think I've lost the desire to coach. I think I still can do it," Adelman said. "This team has been a lot of fun. It's been tough during the season. When you go through it, it's not that easy. When you're working with a group of guys that won't quit and play above and beyond what people expect them to do, it's a lot of fun when you look back on it. READ MORE
Rockets downed by Dallas in OT - The closing stretch against the Mavericks on Monday night was a microcosm of the 2010-11 season for the Rockets, a campaign filled with as many frustrating near misses as inspiring valiant performances. Rockets coach Rick Adelman found a quintet that he liked and locked into that personnel grouping for the final nine-plus minutes of regulation and four-plus minutes into overtime. Legs were weary thus shots were short and defensive rotations slow, but Adelman felt moved by their effort so he rode that group until they had nothing left to give. READ MORE
Mavs move to the No. 2 seed with 98-91 win over Houston - The Dallas Mavericks kept alive their chances of nailing down the Western Conference's No. 2 seed. And it came in dramatic fashion. Jason Terry and Shawn Marion hit buckets that helped the Mavs survive a 98-91 overtime victory over the Houston Rockets on Monday night at the Toyota Center. The baskets by Terry and Marion gave the Mavs a comfortable 94-89 lead with 52.5 seconds left. Terry sealed the game with a pair of free throws with 19.2 seconds left that pushed the Mavs ahead 96-91. READ MORE
Jet says he knew the score, but did he? - With the Dallas Mavericks trailing the Houston Rockets by one point and 1.5 seconds left in the game, Jason Terry stepped up to the free throw line needing to hit two to win it. "With Jet on the line with one second to go," Dirk Nowitzki said, "I'll take that any day." As long as Terry knows the right score. It certainly appears that Terry, an 85.4 percent free throw shooter, thought he only needed one free for the lead. His second attempt bounced high off the rim. The Rockets tried to corral the rebound, but it bounced out of bounds as the buzzer sounded, ending regulation in an 86-86 tie. Only Terry was in the midst of a full sprint the other way. He raised his arms, pumped his fist, smiled big and sure seemed to be celebrating victory No. 56 of the season. He says that wasn't the case. READ MORE
Lewis out for remainder of Rangers road trip - Colby Lewis isn't expected to pitch again for the Rangers during this road trip. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Ron Washington unveiled the news before Monday's game in Detroit. Lewis' wife, Jenny, is pregnant with the couple's second child and is due this week. The original plan was to induce labor Wednesday night after the right-hander started in Detroit earlier in the day, however, Friday's rainout ended those plans. READ MORE
Texas Rangers: Does Hot Start Prove 2011 Team Better Than World Series Team? - After the final out of the fifth game of the World Series last season, it was hard to imagine that the 2011 version of the Texas Rangers could possibly repeat the miraculous run that saw them reach baseball's promised land for the first time in franchise history. Texas figured to be competitive and still the popular pick to win the American League West, but another run through baseball's powerhouse teams in the playoffs seemed unlikely. READ MORE
Myers has been model of consistency for Houston - Brett Myers has been with Houston for a little more than one season, but in that time he has become as consistent a pitcher as you will find in the Majors. The 30-year-old right-hander has picked up where he left off last year, throwing six-plus innings in each of his two starts. Getting through six has become more or less expected since Myers signed with the Astros prior to the 2010 season. He has gone that distance in 34 of his 35 starts with the Astros. Last season, Myers set a club record by lasting six or more innings in his first 32 starts of the season -- becoming one of five pitchers since 1920 to last at least six innings in their first 32 starts of the season. READ MORE
Astros topped by Cubs - Starlin Castro says he doesn't care where he bats in the lineup. On Monday night, he certainly appeared to like the leadoff spot. Castro, Darwin Barney and Marlon Byrd combined for seven hits, five runs and three RBIs and the Chicago Cubs held on for a 5-4 win over the Houston Astros. READ MORE
For Bergeron, AFL answers questions - What should you do with your time if you're an NFL journeyman player, unsure of when your next paycheck will come from an employer that is currently not doing business? One player, who finished last season on the Dallas Cowboys' practice squad, isn't waiting around to learn when the NFL will resume play. No, Troy Bergeron is strapping on his shoulder pads and helmet and playing football for a different league. Bergeron, who re-signed with the Cowboys in January, had his contract voided when the NFL lockout went into effect in March. Knowing he needed to find a source of income, Bergeron joined the Cleveland Gladiators of the Arena Football League. "I'm just trying to make a living," Bergeron recently told The Times-Picayune. "I don't have time for this lockout thing to get settled; I have bills to pay." READ MORE
Houck doesn't mind 'hooking his wagon' to Garrett - Veteran offensive line coach Hudson Houck knows what attracts assistant coaches to certain teams. A piece of advice he received early in his career still rings true 27 years later. "You want to hook your wagon to a guy you think is going to be a winner," Houck said. And Houck believes the Dallas Cowboys will be a winner under Jason Garrett. He has been around Garrett long enough to make that prediction, too. READ MORE
Bradshaw: Concussions have caught up - Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw says he's feeling the effects of numerous concussions sustained during his NFL career. The 62-year-old Shreveport native said Monday he has been having short-term memory loss as well as the loss of hand-eye coordination. He also said he is undergoing rehabilitation for those ailments. "I forgot the numbers. It's pretty staggering," Bradshaw said. "If you play in the NFL and start for 10 years, it's not good. It is not good." READ MORE

In the last week, I have learned a lot about Houston Texans' fans. While they seem to be a forgotten group, they are passionate about their team, and strongly desire a winner. READ MORE
Brett Hull donates golf winnings to Dallas charity - This past weekend the Dallas-based hockey star, Brett Hull, participated and placed in the 10th Annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational Golf Tournament in Las Vegas. The tournament is recognized as one of celebrity golf's most anticipated events, having raised over $5 million for charities worldwide since 2001. Brett Hull and his golf partner, Jerome Bettis, placed 4th in the tournament, finishing one under par, and took home $10,000 each for the charities of their choice. Hull chose to donate to the Dallas Chapter of Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA). "I chose DIFFA after my wife Darcie introduced me to this incredible organization, and I saw firsthand the tremendous impact they have in Dallas," explained Hull. READ MORE
NOW WHAT? - There might not be enough saliva available to lick the wounds after that "win and you're in" dud the Stars played in St. Paul yesterday. Cripes, a Saint Bernard couldn't sloppily drool enough to sooth the mental scrapes and burns inflicted by the Wild. A game - and the failure to muster up a "we will not be denied" effort - like that one should tell you plenty about your team. You couldn't beat a floundering club full of minor-league call-ups when it meant the most. Ugh! READ MORE

2014 Annual Review & Outlook - Trucking
Despite the economic uncertainty the U.S. has experienced since 2008, domestic intermodal traffic in North America is growing robustly. Overall year-over-year volume growth through August 2013 was a healthy 6.8 percent. Domestic containers continue to see conversion from trailers in rail service — growing 9.7 percent, while trailer volumes shrank 2.9 percent, according to the Intermodal Association of North America, Yusen Logistics estimates and TTX fleet size data.

Chelsea manager fails to convince as a disciplinarian but refutes claims that players are out of control
Police said yesterday that they would be looking into allegations that the England footballer Ashley Cole shot a work-placement student with an air gun at Chelsea's training ground. The defender reportedly fired at Tom Cowan, 21, by accident from just five feet away with a .22 rifle, which he believed was not loaded, at the club's training facility in Cobham, Surrey.
Ricky Ponting yesterday issued what is usually described as a warning about the poverty of England's prospects in the first Test.
