Bernanke offers clues about steps to raise rates
WASHINGTON – At a historic news conference, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke offered clues Wednesday about when and how the Fed would begin raising interest rates.
Bernanke said that as long as the Fed continues to say rates will remain at record lows for "an extended period," rates won't rise until the Fed has met at least twice more. The Fed, which ended a two-day meeting Wednesday, gathers about every six weeks.
The Fed chairman also said any additional steps by the Fed to try to lower unemployment might raise other risks, such as higher inflation. If inflation were to accelerate, it could then reduce employment. That's because the Fed would have to raise rates to slow borrowing and spending and blunt price increases.
In his appearance, Bernanke appeared relaxed with reporters, projecting a calming presence and saying nothing that might rattle investors.
He sketched a picture of an economy that is growing steadily but remains weighed down by a prolonged period of high unemployment. He acknowledged the pain unemployment is causing, noting that around 45 percent of the unemployed have been without a job for six months or longer.
"We know the consequences of that can be very distressing because people who are out of work for a long time, their skills tend to atrophy," Bernanke said.
Stocks rose after Bernanke said he expects the economy to continue growing through next year and 2013. The Dow Jones industrial average, which was up about 50 points when Bernanke began speaking, gained another 50 points half an hour before the market closed.
Bernanke acknowledged that higher gasoline prices are creating a financial hardship for many Americans. But he said the Fed doesn't think gas prices will continue to rise at their recent pace.
The news conference was the first time in the Fed's 98-year history that a chairman has begun holding regular sessions with reporters.
It offered Bernanke a chance to drive a debate about Fed policy. Critics have said the Fed's efforts to boost growth raise the risk of high inflation. Investors are seeking clues about when the Fed will start raising interest rates to help slow price increases.
Bernanke said the first step in tightening interest-rate policy could occur when the Fed stops reinvesting the proceeds of its bond holdings. Bernanke would not be specific about when that might occur. He said it will depend on inflation and economic growth in coming months.
He said that step would be a relatively modest one. But it would constitute the Fed's first tightening because it would allow interest rates to creep up.
The news conference, the first of three scheduled this year, is part of a long-standing Bernanke effort to make the Fed more transparent.

* I understand the fans' dismay over the Mets losing Jose Reyes, but I believe it has more to do with the disarray the team is in more than losing the player itself. Reyes' departure is emblematic to the degree of how far the Mets fell since the 2006 playoffs.
The fact is Reyes makes his living with his legs but hasn't been completely healthy in three seasons, including two stints on the disabled list last year. The Mets' financial situation made it cost prohibitive to bring him back at that price and it wasn't worth the risk. Realistically evaluating things, bringing back Reyes was the wrong play.
If you're frustrated and angry, it should be at the Mets' overall condition and not that a brittle player took the money and ran.
* It is premature to give the Angels a pass into the playoffs. Their rotation might be stronger than Texas with the addition of CJ Wilson, but the Rangers' lineup remains superior and there's always the chance they might add Prince Fielder.
Do you remember when the Yankees added Alex Rodriguez and Randy Johnson? They were supposed to win multiple World Series, but didn't win anything until 2009, and by that time Johnson retired. The Phillies were favorites the past two years. How did that work out? Also, how did it work out for the Miami Heat last year and the Philadelphia Eagles this season? Rarely, do things work out smoothly for Dream Teams.
* Don't you think the Yankees regret the Rodriguez contract? I bet they do. I'd also be willing to bet eventually the Angels and Marlins might regret their wild spending, which never guarantees anything.
* I wouldn't be surprised if St. Louis made a run at Fielder to take the sting out of losing Albeert Pujols. Even so, the money might be better spent on maintaining because the Cardinals are still a good team and don't need an overhaul.
* Regarding Fielder, I found it laughable to read the Cubs don't have the money to spend on Fielder. The Cubs have the resources, but are they willing?
* The Mets believe they bolstered their bullpen, with Sandy Alderson saying they have the seventh through ninth accounted for. Then again, they took from the Toronto Blue Jays, a team with over 20 blown saves last season.

Updated 10:36 p.m.
The commissioner of the Georgia Department of Transportation at 10 p.m. Tuesday updated the weather forecast and asked that the public stay off the roads.
"This is a very dangerous ice storm and we strongly encourage the public to stay off the roads unless it is an extreme emergency, to allow us to do our work" said commissioner Keith Golden.
The press release states that the latest weather predictions call for a catastrophic ice storm that could include "extreme black ice," seven or more inches of snow across North Georgia, freezing rain with up to 1 inch of ice accumulation north and south of the I-20 corridor, and 20-30 mph winds that increase the threat for "widespread downed limbs, trees and power lines."
The Georgia Emergency Management Agency is advising the public to use flashlights for emergency lighting if there is a loss of electric service rather than candles; to use kerosene heaters only in well-ventilated areas; to keep flammable objects away from space heaters; and to remember to disconnect or turn off appliances that were in use when the power went out.
It was in a briefing before noon Tuesday that National Weather Service meteorologists first warned state and local emergency management officials that the sustained, 30-hour winter blast could turn into a "catastrophic event."
"They are saying they went back to the January 2000 event when the region had quarter- to a half-inch of ice, and this event could be worse than that," said Penny Clack, the emergency management coordinator for Barrow County.
"We could have 3-5 inches of combined snow and ice, and we want people to get off the roads," she said.
Winds are expected to be brisk during the storm, increasing the probability of heavy icing on trees and power lines. In the 2000 ice storm, metro Atlanta residents and businesses lost power for days.
Pat Graham, chairman of the Barrow County Board of Commissioners, at 1:18 p.m. Tuesday issued a "Declaration of Local Emergency." Gov. Nathan Deal and President Barack Obama also have issued state and federal declarations.
"This is to let people know how serious of an event this is," Clack said. "And it opens up opportunities for the county to get additional resources from the state if we need to."
Barrow County manager Randall Dowling closed county government offices at 3 p.m. Tuesday and they will remain closed both Wednesday and Thursday.
Barrow County schools also were closed Wednesday, with all school-related activities and meetings canceled or postponed, according to an announcement Tuesday afternoon by school superintendent Wanda Creel.
"As conditions develop, we will determine when it is safe to resume school," she said.
Tuesday's meetings of the school board and BOC have been canceled. The BOC's next meeting is Feb. 25.
Winder's city government announced late Tuesday afternoon that Waste Management will not provide garbage pickup on Wednesday. Customers typically scheduled for Wednesday collections should put out their cans instead on Thursday. And customers who usually have garbage picked up on Thursdays and Fridays should follow their normal routines, though the trucks might be late or not arrive until the following day. Saturday service is anticipated for anyone not reached by Friday.

Hello, everyone. I was an atheist until at the age of 27 I began to study the Bible in order to debunk it. I learned quickly that the Bible was grossly misrepresented by apostate Christendom's adoption of pagan teachings such as the immortal soul from Socrates, the trinity from Plato, the cross from Constantine, hell from Dante and Milton, Easter from Astarte, Christmas from the winter solstice celebrations, and most recently the Rapture from Darby.
Though I have never and will never be a part of organized religion, my beliefs are not entirely dissimilar to that of The Jehovah's Witnesses, due to the removal of the aforementioned pagan influence. I have studied briefly the history of the major world religions, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shintoism and Taoism and have published sacred and non-sacred texts from each of these online: The Dhammapada, Four Noble Truths, Paradise Lost, Divine Comedy, Analects Of Confucius, Bhagavad Gita, Qur'an, Pirqe Aboth, Nihongi, Kojiki, Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu.
Having been an atheist most of my life and given that nearly everyone I know is atheist, I think I understand and respect where most of you are coming from. I don't believe in "converting" anyone to anything, but I do think the atheist tends to be mislead when it comes to the Bible. Not that that matters much, except for that I do enjoy, given the opportunity, to correct them in thoughtful and polite discussion and debate.
I hope we can have some interesting conversations.

PLEASE say you're not serious, Reg - you can't own a Canadian?!! When did THAT happen? EVERYone wants to own a Canadian, they're so easy to housebreak!
(Except for that contentious Spoonheim woman --)
And they have good cannabis-
Reg seriously, last I checked god had not revised the laws, it's gonna be tricky here. You may just have to be a soldier for god
@David Henson - I am absolutely certain that no matter what you or anyone else may introduce to me, as long as I use the Bible I'm on the right side - just from this statement, you don't want interesting, knowledgeable discourse, you just want to 'believe' no matter what is brought to your attention.
Christians must say they believe a bible, (there are so many, with men interpreting and changing words and rules to suit), no matter what a discussion might produce - atheists are a threat to their beliefs, as they don't want to think how much time they have wasted on any particular brand of myth they have attached themselves to, whereas atheists question everything, with an open mind, analyse what is feasible, what could be feasible, and what is absolute tripe. Atheists shake your cage, and you just don't like it, as in your heart, you know, that the conclusions you have come to is all, not just tripe, but evil tripe. So, you haven't come here to discuss, it is just another example of you kidding yourself, and wanting just to 'believe', no matter what.
@x - Yep, that is exactly what it is - all made up stories, with a lot of scare mongering thrown in, @David - tut, tut, David, why are you getting so angry - because you don't know really basic stuff like firmament, or followed history to see where all these stories started from, added to, pilfered from - all very basic stuff, really. Are you embarrassed because you are showing your ignorance, and hence, getting angry. Are you getting angry because you are starting to realize the particular book you are following was made up by uneducated, superstitious, testosterone driven, knucklegrazing morons - is that why you are getting so angry?
Very sad, to see a christian realizing he has wasted his life.
When you say David that you are not part of, nor will you ever be part of an organised religion you, like the JW's, are missing something important. How do you think the modern Bible spread around the world? It came to you from organised religion. It was edited and translated and whatever version you studied or have decided is the correct one has come to you through organised religion. So while you can claim that you are not part of one you really are.
If you claimed that Marx's "Communist Manifesto" was the source of absolute truth and must be followed and that people that did not agree with you were holding "nonsensical" beliefs by being capitalists then you would be a communist. Just because you don't attend the rallies does not make you any different to the ones that do. You are all waiting for the same revolution. You would be no different to the rest of them. You would not be a "special" communist.
You were an Atheist for 27 years? By your own definition you actually spent that time aware that you held a nonsensical denial in the existence of god? Sorry I don't believe you.
When you studied Islam why did you discover to make you reject it? I assume growing up in the Bible belt surrounded by Atheists may have had something to do with it?
Greetings and Welcome!
This may have already been asked, as I am at work and don't have time to read all of the posts on this thread. If it has, I am sorry, you can just cite the answer you already gave.... But I am just curious: If you were an atheist for 27 years, what was it that convinced you to become a believer? Was it one particular thing or did all of it suddenly make sense to you one day?
As a former Christian, then Pagan, and now atheist, I have studied many religions and found them all to be lacking. Even if you remove all the other influences from the Bible (pagan, etc), you are still left with nothing but a bunch of archaic rules that don't make any sense in today's world (Not eating shellfish? No wearing of mixed fiber fabrics? Just to name a few...), and a bunch of unbelievable, logic-defying stories. What about it makes any sense to you? I am not saying any of this to be malicious, I am honestly curious!
I guess unless he has taken a brief hiatus
That is being too ambitious on your part, expecting him to answer questions, I doubt maybe a little preaching laced with insults
So farewell then, David Henson
Adding threads and posts and then some
Was he kidnapped, killed or captured?
No, the silly sod's been Raptured
And he who is a bubble,
Is Ruptured.

Prescription drugs retained their potency for as long as 40 years after expiration date, an analysis of 14 different compounds showed.
Overall 12 (86%) of the compounds tested at concentrations at least 90% of the labeled amount. Three compounds had concentrations that exceeded labeled amounts, and in two cases laboratory tests showed the compounds had less than 90% of the labeled concentration.
The findings add to existing evidence that prescription drugs retain their potency long after the expiration date, according to a research letter published online in Archives of Internal Medicine.
"The most important implication of our study involves the potential cost savings resulting from lengthier product expiration dating," Lee Cantrell, PharmD, of the California Poison Control System in San Diego, and co-authors wrote. "Each dollar spent on SLEP [the Shelf-Life Extension Program] to demonstrate longer-than-labeled drug stability results in $13 to $94 saved on reacquisition costs.
"Given that Americans currently spend more than $300 billion annually on prescription medications, extending drug expiration dates could yield enormous healthcare expenditure savings."
The potency of expired medications has been a source of debate for some time. A drug's potency has not necessarily declined below levels established by law because an expiration date constitutes assurance only that labeled potency will remain stable at least until that date, the authors noted in their background information.
Situations might arise in which use of expired drugs warrants consideration, such as lack of a viable alternative or financial issues, they continued. Several studies have demonstrated that a wide variety of medications retain potency for years after the labeled expiration date. To examine the issue more closely, Cantrell and co-authors characterized the potency of several long-expired prescription medications.
The study involved eight medications comprising 15 different active ingredients, all in original, unopened containers. The medications were methaqualone, codeine, meprobamate, amphetamine, pentobarbital, secobarbital, and hydrocodone.
In addition to the primary ingredient, one or more of the eight medications included butalbital, aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine, phenobarbital, homatropine, chlorpheniramine, acetaminophen, and caffeine.
Ultimately, the authors evaluated medications representing 14 drug compounds. For each of the eight medications, the authors dissolved the contents of tablets/capsules, sonicated in methanol, reconstituted in analysis buffer, and analyzed with liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Homatropine was the only drug not included in testing.
Of the 14 compounds analyzed, 12 retained the generally recognized minimum acceptable potency of 90% of labeled amount. The only two that did not meet the 90% minimum standard were aspirin (200 mg labeled, 2.28 mg by analysis; 226.8 mg labeled, 1.53 by analysis) and amphetamine (5.0 mg labeled, 2.2 mg by analysis; 15.0 mg labeled, 8.1 mg by analysis).
Additionally, phenacetin concentrations were less than 90% of labeled in one of two medications that contained it.
The 12 compounds that retained potency were a minimum 336 months beyond the expiration date, including eight that were at least 480 months beyond the expiration.
"This study provides additional evidence that many prescription pharmaceuticals retain their full potency beyond their manufacturer-ascribed expiration dates," the authors concluded. "Given the potential cost-savings, we suggest that current practices of drug expiration dating be reconsidered."
The authors had no relevant disclosures.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- While the board of directors at Best Buy (BBY) digest (and likely blow off) my latest report about its ineptitude, Amazon.com (AMZN) keeps chugging along to $300.As I write -- just prior to the market close -- it's toying with the $260 level. To think that, according to a former employee, Best Buy's former management actually said, No partnerships with Amazon. No Exceptions, should not only shock the hell out of you, it ought to send your creativity juices spewing uncontrollably through your nose. But, enough about Best Buy. Talking about what Amazon's doing, not so indirectly, speaks to what -- here comes a generic news scribe identifier -- the electronics retailer doesn't have going for it. Even though awful water pressure at my hotel made my hairdo look like it drowned in an oil slick, I think I made a good point in this video I shot with TheStreet's Chris Ciaccia and James Rogers: Even relative to Apple ( AAPL), a company Wall Street's sizable gaggle of hack analysts has all wrong, there's less uncertainty in Amazon's long-term story. That's why the shares continue to do so well. Through all of the noise -- and it is noise because AMZN bears come few and far between, this is a strong stock floated by a strong company. And for a reason. At Apple, you have a dominant franchise, but -- and this is a big but -- to keep the momentum going, you need more than iPhone 5S or 6, an iPad mini with Retina Display or the next iteration of the full-size iPad. Unless it's 110% revolutionary, MacBook "refreshes" will only cut it for so long. And, while cute, redesigns on iPod Touches raise very few eyebrows. Apple needs iTV or whatever the next big thing in its pipeline is. Bullish or bearish, you have to admit to an incredible amount of certainty around this. But, not just uncertainty . . . again, it's pretty much a necessity that Apple come through or else the long-term caution I express could prove prudent. Look at it like this -- if you're staring at a portfolio full of gainers in December 2012 that includes AAPL and AMZN, it's not crazy to make the decision to sell AAPL first over tax-related concerns. Putting away hot sports opinions and crystal balls -- just looking at things as they are today -- AMZN is the better long-term play. We know what Amazon's opportunity is. It knows what its opportunity is. And it very clearly has a spending plan laid out to seize this massive opportunity. Nothing has changed that approach for about 13 years. There's no transition. No state of flux. It's just Amazon being Amazon and a trusty Jeff Bezos being a trusty Jeff Bezos. Remember -- suspend emotion (I am as angry as the next guy about what's happening to AAPL near-term) and consider what we know today. We're not sure what Apple's opportunity is beyond the current products and we're not sure at all how they plan on maximizing it. If Apple actually had real competition, the stock might have fallen harder and not bounced back. While I think both companies crush the holiday quarter, I would be slightly more comfortable putting my cash in the stock with price-to-earnings ratio of 3,000, not the company we all can agree analysts continue to give the shaft. View the P/E as a measure of confidence in a company's ability to grow and grow exponentially for considerably longer than the foreseeable future.

Report: White Sox frontrunners to acquire Red Sox Youkilis
The Chicago White Sox appear to be the frontrunners in getting a deal done to acquire infielder Kevin Youkilis from the Boston Red Sox, sources told ESPN.com.
The Red Sox have also had discussions with the Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, Cleveland Indians and Los Angeles Dodgers about trading Youkilis.
Arizona is reportedly out of the running but Atlanta has scouted Youkilis more than once recently.
Boston manager Bobby Valentine said he talked with Youkilis Friday about decreasing his playing time. Youkilis is batting just .174 (8 for 46) with no home runs and 10 strikeouts in June.
"He doesn't necessarily totally agree with it and doesn't wake up in the morning and hope that's the case, but I think the professional person that Kevin is, he understands it," Valentine said. "Yes, I think he's fine."
Youkilis was out of the starting lineup for two straight games for the first time since coming off the disabled list May 22. Rookie third baseman Will Middlebrooks has recently been getting the bulk of playing time in place of Youkilis.
Valentine said he is "riding the hot hand," but that philosophy could change day to day.
Middlebrooks has 31 RBI in just 38 games since being promoted from the minors, the most by a Red Sox player in that span since Walt Dropo in 1949-50.
With a banged-up outfield, Valentine was able to play Middlebrooks at third base, Youkilis at first and move Adrian Gonzalez from first to right field. But outfielder Cody Ross has returned from the disabled list and Daniel Nava and Ryan Kalish are contributing, so Gonzalez (a three-time Gold Glove winner) is back at first base.
Outfielder Carl Crawford and Jacoby Ellsbury are also expected to return from the DL soon. Valentine prefers to keep Gonzalez at first base with a healthy outfield, meaning the manager has to decide each day between Youkilis and Middlebrooks.

X-Ring Newsletter
Technical Newsletter From Your Ballistic TechniciansVolume 7, Issue 4
| Anybody that has reloaded for a period of time has probably run across some of the problems associated with an expander ball. Some of the headaches that can be traced back to the expander ball are excessive case stretch, uneven case necks due to one side of the case neck being thicker than the other resulting in more drag on that side causing necks to be .002 or .003 thousandths of an inch higher on one side than the other, and the case shoulder being pulled back up slightly when a rough expander ball is being pulled back thru the neck.
The easiest cure for this is to take the entire decapping rod assembly out of the sizing die and chuck it up in an electric drill. Next, take
|some 150 grit sand paper and polish it for a few minutes. Follow this up with few minutes of polishing with 220 grit paper and finish with 00 steel wool. This leaves a glass-like finish on the expander ball that will glide thru case necks without the ill effects as before. Recently I ran a test with 250 Savage Ackley brass-- some with even case necks and some with necks that were .003" higher on one side than the other. Even though the group still measured .750" there were two distinct groups, the uneven necks going into a bug hole in the 5 o'clock position and the even necks producing another bug hole at 11 o'clock. Yes you can do a lot with an expander ball.
|Within their caliber and for their weight our toughest varmint and hunting rifle bullets are hollow points. By "toughest" we mean that Sierra hollow point GameKing rifle bullets expand less and penetrate more than their lead and plastic tip counterparts, the Spitzers. That is the opposite of pistol bullets. It is also the opposite of what everyone except those who use them would think of our hollow point GameKing rifle bullets. Still, it is true of each Sierra hollow point from the little .224 40 grain HP through the 165 grain 30 caliber HPBT.
|While our flat base hollow points are tough varmint bullets that can put down coyotes, our hollow point boat tails (except for the 55 gr. .224 bullet) are excellent medium and big game bullets capable of antelope, deer, black bear, moose, and elk. These hollow points were designed with hard cores and heavy jackets to not only eliminate tip deformation, but also to withstand the higher impact velocities often incurred at the closer ranges. As with books, bullets cannot be judged from its title or a look
|at the outside. The next time you are in the market for a bullet that will penetrate better than a similar weight Spitzer or plastic tip look for a Sierra hollow point hunting bullet. Their accuracy is often only second to our MatchKing target bullets, the world's standard. As always, we welcome your comments and questions concerning the specific use of our bullets. We never tire of your stories and photos. Often we feel like we were there with you. In a way we were.
Doug Koenig has been one of the most successful handgun shooters in the United States. He has won the Bianchi Cup 4 times, The Masters 8 times, Steel Challenge twice, 4 Sportsman Team Challenges, European Bianchi Cup, World Action Pistol Championship, World IPSC match, and top finishes in many other matches. We have been getting several calls from shooters wondering what guns and loads Doug used. I gave Doug a call in Texas as he was practicing for the 2000 Sportsman Team Challenge with another great shooter, David Tubb.
Here are some of the guns and loads he uses.
Bianchi Cup - 38 Super in a 6" Springfield or Colt Single Stack (1911) with 4.7 grains of Winchester Super Lite and a Sierra 115 grain JHP #8110 bullet and Starline cases. Velocity is about 1120 fps.
Steel Challenge - Same as Bianchi Cup, only a 5" barrel and a velocity of 1040 fps. The Masters - Same as Bianchi Cup only 5.7 grains of Winchester Super Lite for a velocity of 1220 fps. For the long range gun in the Masters, he uses an XP100 in 6.5 BR and a Sierra 120 gr. HPBT MatchKing #1725 with 27.5 grains of AA2015.
IPSC - Caspian in a 9mm Super Comp Starline case with 6.8 grains of Viht. N340 powder and a Sierra 125 grain JHP #8125 or 7.5 grains of Viht. N340 and the #8110 115 grain JHP Sierra bullet.
Doug uses moly-coated bullets, which lowers pressures, so if you try to duplicate his loads, reduce your loads slightly and work back up. Also, Super Lite has been discontinued, so unless you have a good supply of it, you may not want to get too attached to it.
| You talk, we listen!! You said you needed a lighter, high ballistic coefficient .338 Caliber bullet that has greater compatibility with today's' reloading components. You said you needed a bullet that would give higher muzzle and down range velocities, great wind bucking abilities with extreme accuracy potential necessary for the next step in long range target competition. You said you needed one that will give high velocities and reasonable pressures using today's' reloading components.
We listened, and Sierra has designed a long-range match bullet with an 11-caliber secant ogive with a minimum meplat diameter. This new Hollow Point Boat Tail MatchKing has a 9&#deg; boattail angle with a .500" bearing surface length. We combined this optimum bullet shape with a jacket and core design that has the tightest quality control specifications in the industry. The result is a streamlined 250 grain match bullet capable of being driven 3000 fps and faster from standard twist barrels with the same world-class accuracy as Sierra's 300 grain .338 caliber bullet. If you shoot the .338, this is your bullet for long-range competition whether it is a .338 Win Mag, a .338 Lapua Mag, or any of the other larger .338's. If you're not winning, chances are you're not shooting Sierra. This new bullet is available in boxes of 50 bullets (#2650) and 500 bullets (#2650C) and will be introduced in January 2001.

The following standards are for authors creating content for approval to be published on Hampshire County Council websites. It ensures the quality and accessibility of content on the web.
There are additional standards for editors, developers and contractors.
If you have any questions about the standards or how they apply to your pages please contact the Corporate Web Team.
All web standards are mandatory. Your page will be rejected for publication if you do not follow these standards.
Web addresses must be short and meaningful to the visitor
Web addresses must remain static to prevent broken links and retain ranking in search engines
Web addresses must be in lower case, contain no spaces or punctuation
Web addresses should be short, meaningful and memorable. This makes it easier to print the URL, read it out over the telephone and use in radio and media advertising.
When naming web pages you must use lower case with no punctuation or spaces. Underscores should not be used as this can cause confusion when links are underlined (on web pages, in emails and other electronic documents).
The name must be meaningful, so use real names rather than abbreviations or code. It should also be unambiguous when spoken and easy to type. This will make your web page address (URL) more memorable and easier to direct people to.
URLs (web addresses) must remain stable so they remain reliable to link to, feature well in search engines and are memorable to the user. Changing the names of established web pages is discouraged and may be refused.
Redirecting URL's is possible, please contact your web manager to arrange this if required.
Web pages that appear in print must not be the format www3.hants.gov.uk. Please contact the ·Corporate Web Team for information on setting up a redirect.
Use customer language. Think about what words people might use to find your page.
Do not use Council specific phrases, jargon, abbreviations or acronyms.
Try reading out your URL to someone – see if they can tell what the page is about from the URL alone.
You can make your web address easier to read by using hyphens, try not to overuse these.
Simple, clear URL's
When printing, advertising, promoting your URL please use top level pages rather and ensure these are up to date with the information you need to be found.
Every page must have a unique page title.
Page titles must be meaningful to the customer.
Page titles must be short preferably less than 70 characters long.
Page titles are an important navigation aid and are there to help get your content found by letting users know what can be found on the page.
The page title appears in several places:
in the bar at the top of your browser
in the results listings of search engines
in a browser's history list of recently visited web pages
in a browser's bookmarks/favourite list
In many of these locations, long titles will be cut short for example:
Google only displays the first 64 characters of a title
using your browser's history to return to a page that you looked at earlier can be difficult if you can't see the full title
A good title that clearly conveys what a page is about will improve the page's placing in search engine results
Using the same title for different pages causes problems when looking for pages in search results, history lists and bookmarking/favourites menus
This standard is mandatory for usability and accessibility reasons.
Use customer language. Think about what words people might use to find your page. Include these in your title.
Do not use Council specific phrases, jargon, abbreviations or acronyms.
Try reading your title to someone – see if they can tell what the page is about from the title alone.
Do not use 'Welcome to Mypage/Homepage'.
If you need to shorten a long title:
decide which words are essential to describe the content of the page. Try rephrasing the title to include just these words.
consider whether you could split the title and have part of the it as the first heading on the page.
Bad examples of page titles:
Adoption home
Sir George Staunton Country Park Joint Committee Meetings, minutes, agenda and report for the 21 march 2013
How to improve the bad ones.
Adoption - adopt a child in Hampshire
Eclipse - Gosport and Fareham rapid bus service
Search Hampshire's Museums Collections
Staunton Country Park Joint Committee - March 21 2013
Good examples of page titles:
Hampshire school holidays and school term dates
Hampshire school admissions - apply online
Find my nearest waste recycling centre in Hampshire
Contact Hampshire County Council
All content must be structured using Heading styles.
The first heading on a page must be Heading 1.
All sub titles must then use heading styles in sequence
Make headings short and clear
All customers use headings to navigate web pages,headings elements should convey document structure Use informative headings so that users can scan a page quickly for information rather than reading it in detail.
Visually-impaired users who use assistive technologies (eg screen readers) rely on heading tags to navigate through web pages. It's important that headings are used in the correct way and that headings are not created by styling text to look like headings.Avoid slang, jargon and specialised meanings of familiar words. Use customer language, words that are commonly used.
There are 4 levels of headings, they appear on the page:
Content must been written in Plain English (clear, concise, active, personal, avoid jargon)
Large blocks of bold or upper case text must not be used.
Italic or underlined text must not be used.
Spelling and grammar must be correct.
Content must be accurate. It must not be out of date.
Scrolling or moving text must not be used.
Content should be able to be read and understood by an average 14 year old.
You must explain acronyms when you use them
Plain English should always be used. Editors and authors should ensure that text is short simple sentences and that they write it with their intended audience in mind and avoid jargon. Hantsweb is intended to be used by everyone, overseas visitors will benefit from simple language as this is easier to understand.
Sentences should generally be no more than 15 – 20 words.
Paragraphs should generally be no more than 3 - 4 sentences.
Avoid jargon and unnecessarily complicated words
Use active sentences and personal terms (I, we, you etc).
Write your web pages from a user perspective and take advantage of working in a different kind of media to a printed page. Do not simply reproduce hardcopy leaflets that may contain inappropriate expressions such as 'see page 2 of this leaflet for further information' or 'see overleaf…'
Scanning printed text for publication on the web using optical character readers is a straightforward process and increasingly common. However, you should review the text carefully after scanning for conversion errors (for example 'b' and 'd' reversal) and to strip out inappropriate 'Text'.
Some web sites cause a pop up window (often used for adverts) to appear or create hyperlinks that cause a new browser window to be opened when a specific hyperlink is accessed. This is not permitted. When creating hyperlinks to other web pages - either within Hantsweb, Hantsnet or on an external web site - the hyperlink must never open a new browser window. This breaks the functionality of the back button, confuses visitors and can be especially troublesome for screen readers.
In the web page content (main body) links must use the standard corporate default settings for colour and appearance. If using a sidebar as part of web page navigation you may provide more dynamic links. These links must be recognisable as links and readable before using them e.g. before you place your mouse on them. They must work if scripting is switched off. The style and format must be consistent throughout your collection.
Users tend to scan web pages so use link text that is clear, easy to read, relevant and concise.
Using raw URLs or 'click here' or 'more' as link text, or any similar words or phrases (here, read more, further details, etc) is one of the most common examples of bad practice. A user should click on a link because that is where they want to go, not to find out where it goes.
A good piece of link text is one that is meaningful when taken out of context. For example
Example A
Example B
When people read a webpage they will instinctively scan for the links in the page. Example B makes it very easy to identify quickly where the links will take you. Example A forces you to read the entire sentence before you know where you are going.
Screen readers have the ability to present the page simply as a series of links, so that the navigation is read separately from the content of the page. If text links on your page use phrases such as 'click here', 'full story' and 'read more' they tell the user nothing about the content behind.
Within a page the same text must never be used for links to different pages.
Email mailto links should be formatted as follows: email@example.com. This ensures that if users do not have their email software configured with their browser they have the opportunity to cut and paste the address into another package. Also, when a page is printed, the email address will appear in full.
Search engines pay a lot of attention to links. The text on links tells users and search engines very useful information about the linked to URL and also provides information about the scope and nature of
the website through building a picture of related information.
The same link text cannot be used for different link destinations. For example - Contact us can only go to one destination. In Hantsweb's example to the corporate contact us page. On your site you cannot use contact us for your team's page as this has already be used on the page. You can instead use contacts or contact the team.
A broken link is when the site you are pointing to either changes address or no longer exists. Links have to be kept up to date and must be reviewed regularly. Also, be aware, if you are deleting a page, that there may be many links pointing to your web page. Please let your web manager know if you are removing a web page.
Caution - A link from a Hantsweb page to a Hantsnet page will show a log in screen to the HPA page and all external visitors to Hantsweb will be unable to access these pages.
You must always use alternative text on all images. Alternative text enables visitors who are not able to view the graphics (they might have graphics turned off, they might be using a text only browser or they could be using a screen reader) to make sense of the information it is providing. It is important to make the alternative text sensible and descriptive.
Do not use text as graphics. Use of a graphic containing text may be appropriate where you're reproducing a logo, such as the County Council's official logo. Using graphics for page or section headings is bad practice breaks accessibility standards.
Images as links must also be provided with a text alternative - images must never be the sole means of linking/navigation.
Graphs and charts can be produced in graphic format but this information must also be provided in text.
Clip art is not permitted in Hantsweb - any use of clip art will be removed from your page. Clip art, such as that found in Microsoft Word or available from many web sites, can look unprofessional and is often not relevant.
Specially commissioned professional/high quality collections of graphics and art work are permitted.
Animated graphics should not be used. In extreme cases there may be exceptions to this, please contact the Corporate Webmaster with your requirements.
All images to be displayed on a web page must be saved as JPG or GIF format as appropriate, as they are the most common supported formats.
Large graphics will cause pages to download very slowly. The total size of a single graphic embedded within a web page must not exceed 50KB.
It is essential that a graphic is resized using appropriate tools and not 'squashed' by changing its display attributes (height/width) in the HTML code.
If you have to use a large graphic (over 50KB) then you must link to it from your web page using a reduced version known as a thumbnail.
Please also see the standards specifically about images of people.
All forms must conform with data protection laws. To ensure your form meets the requirements all forms must be approved by the Information Compliance Team before going live.
Every form must include a privacy statement. This lets the user know what will happen to any personal information they supply. A corporate privacy statement has been produced that informs the user that information given will not be passed to any third parties. If this statement fits your requirements then you are welcome to link it.
If your form has differing requirements that are not covered within our privacy statement you should create your own statement. For example if the information is passed onto any third parties, even within Hampshire County Council or information is to be kept on a database the user must be made aware of this and what happens to the information. If there is sensitive information to be entered in the form and it is not in a secure environment, for example monetary details when applying for grants etc., let the user know.
Before the form and privacy statement go live please contact the Information Compliance Team.
Do not rely only on colour or an asterisk (*) to indicate required fields as this means little to screen readers and magnifiers. You can use colour or asterisks to indicate required fields, however they must be in addition to text. For example,
Enter your name * (Required):
The recommended method is to request only required information - ask yourself why you are requesting information that is not required - in this case the text 'optional' could be inserted in front of the fields that are not required eg
Enter your address (Optional).
Some forms may use scripts/programs - the forms must work on unsupported scripts browsers.
You must inform the user where the form is being sent so the user has somewhere to address any queries. A team name or job title must be used instead of naming an individual.
Document downloads of information can only be provided when they are supplementing information provided in an HTML format. Downloaded information must not be the only source that visitors to Hantsweb and Hantsnet pages can view. This will ensure the maximum amount of visitors have access to the information provided.
Where documents are to be made available to download they should be provided in
Using these formats ensures that the maximum amount of people have access to the information provided. The file format and file size must be specified in the link text.
3MB is maximum document size of any type that can be uploaded in the Content Management System. For advice on uploading larger files, please contact the Web Services Team
All files must be Anti-Virus scanned before being uploaded to Hantsweb or Hantsnet pages. If the file is stored on the I: or F: drive in Hantsnet prior to being uploaded it will have been scanned.

Boy, I done warned you
I don't give a fuck, I do what I wan' do
Better listen up close nigga, don't trip
Your heat's in the car, mine's in this bitch
[Verse 1]
I pull up clean, manners of a gentleman
Trigger man, etiquette, one felony away from a predicate
That Patron's my medicine, them stones glowing
Like they owned by Edison, I am on my better than
Everybody tip, walk up in the club make
Everybody strip, everybody get...the fuck down
This a brrp, stick up
But I don't want no money, I want your...liquor
I'm a homicidal maniac, I know
Clip full of hollows, models, swallow, gobble
Smoke mad lala, stretch you out
So bad, you'll be able to kiss your own ass, bye-bye
[Verse 2]
What the fuck do you mean
That I can't fuck bitch? Fuck this, I've been dope, flashy
But I don't mean my money, I mean I'm nude under a trench coat
I put the wreck in reckless, the 'sult in insult
When you fuck bitches, they be like, "Uh!"
When I fuck bitches, they be like, "Ahhhh!"
I'm a fucking rapist, atheist, say yes, say no
KO, ayo, I'm a piranha, my pen is in the condom
And you are the vagina, your flow is and ah, kinda
So you can blow my anaconda
Treacherous methods, respect my grammar (?)
Oh, I made you look
Insane sixteens and crazy hooks
I will fuck up, prostitute raw for I fall
Follow me like I'm Allahu Akbar (Rock star!)
[Bridge: Mr. Porter]
You wanna see where the stars is at?
We over here, where the bottles at?
You want a problem, I'm all for that
Cause you won't make it to the car for that
You are now dealing with the biggest criminal in the world
Welcome to Gotham City, it's a Dark Knight
[Verse 3]
What the fuck do you mean, that I ain't in shape? Go bag Nelly
I go and get me a fat bitch, we gon' slap bellies
I keep a box of rubbers, cock, I got ya covered
That's right, I talk to my cock often like, "Cock, they love ya"
Ha-ha, I walk the block with a oven but not your mother's
I'm talking 'bout the other, by the way, your mother
I'm terrific, I'm the president, I'm Obama-rific
Make up my own words, I'm the shitidic

Sometimes you will hear students argue about whose Sensei is the senior. This is something that only students would do, because their Sensei know who the senior is.
Students tend to argue about such matters because they think that the higher their Sensei is, the higher they too are. This, of course, is ridiculous.
I am the senior in my dojo (naturally). However, of my different Karate Sensei, I was not their senior student (not even close). But I have continued to practice when most of the other students have stopped, and have been determined enough to form and maintain a dojo. That is what it takes.
Did my Karate Sensei have other students who were senior to me? Certainly. Do those students continue to practice and teach? Generally not.
Let me ask you this question. Who is more senior, a junior student of Kentsu Yabu or the senior student of Chosin Chibana? Both Yabu and Chibana were students of Anko Itosu. Yabu was clearly the senior in age and in Itosu's group of students. I'm sure that Chibana Sensei would recognizae Yabu as his senior.
However, Chibana Sensei taught much longer and produced many more students. In that sense, Chibana was a far more successful teacher.
So whose student would be senior -- a junior student of Yabu or a senior student of Chibana?
I hope that you get the point. This is only something a student would argue or worry about. In fact, a good student would not -- a good student would simply train hard and respect all his seniors. I am not elevated by my Sensei's status. If anything, I get ahead by hard work and practice.
I respect my Sensei. I respect other Sensei. But that alone will not improve my skill.
I will say this. I feel extremely fortunate to have two fine Sensei of Shorin-Ryu (and a senior friend who coaches me like my own Sensei). When I move, I feel happy. I have the luxury of their experience and refinement -- and their exceptional ability to teach it. On my own, I could not have learned to move the way that I do now (that is an understatement -- on my own I moved like a brick!). But that is not an issue of seniority. They are not skilled because of seniority, but because of their own hard work and insight.
Seniority, rank, and titles are usually very poor measures of skill.

Who Is The Senior?

I always like skimming the local news when a tournament stops in a town. You never know how a journalist will cover a sport that probably doesn't get much general interest outside of the Grand Slams. It usually ends up as a mix of human interest stories, celebrity profiles, and the wire feeds.
In Pam Springs it's a little different, since the Pacific Life Open is pretty much considered a fifth slam (they expect 300,000 people to cross through the gates this year) and tennis is an integral part of the desert lifestyle.
So I'm a little disappointed that this Q&A with tournament director Steve Simon in The Desert Sun wasn't more insightful or engaging. Perhaps he didn't want to rock the boat; it wasn't that long ago that the tournament was in danger of closing up shop in Indian Wells.
At the very least, this article reminds the readers about the changes the Sony Ericsson WTA tour plan to make under their "Roadmap to 2009."

As you might have heard, the earth is slowly running out of resources. If we continue to strip the planet of oil, trees, and whatever else we can burn for energy, there's a good chance that the human race won't survive. Of course, we could always look to other planets when ours has been used up. Future generations could cruise through the furthest reaches of the galaxy, taking resources from other celestial bodies. This is the setup in Dead Space, the upcoming survival-horror game from the folks at Electronic Arts. Naturally, given that it's a horror game and not a resource-management sim, something goes terribly wrong with the aforementioned plan, and it's not long before the stuff hits the fan.
Dead Space takes place on the Nishimura, a massive ship that actually cracks planets into small pieces, then strips said pieces of every available resource. Apparently the Nishimura cracked the wrong planet at some point, because the game begins sometime after the corporation that owns the ship has lost contact with the crew. Assuming that it's just a communications malfunction, the company sends out a repairman to investigate. However, when Isaac Clarke reaches the ship, it quickly becomes obvious that there's more going on than just a broken transmitter. While we haven't played the game from the beginning, we have to assume that the dead bodies and blood all over the walls were a sure sign that something wasn't right.
Our demo began late in the game, sometime in the seventh chapter. Isaac was told that he needed to plant a transmitter on a meteor in order to send out a distress signal, but it wouldn't be an easy job. In order to get to where he needed to be, he had to turn on the gravity in one of the rooms that processed the chunks of planet that were collected by the Nishimura. This was told to Isaac by his female partner back on Earth, who gives him his objectives as he makes his way around the massive ship. In order to turn on the gravity, he had to clear the room of the large boulders that were floating around.
Isaac was able to do this using the telekinesis power that was included in his spiffy armor. Using the left trigger to aim Isaac's weapon, a simple press of the B button grabbed the nearest floating boulder and pulled it toward us. Hitting the right trigger (which usually fires Isaac's weapon) launched the boulder into a nearby gravity beam, at which point it was pulled into a massive furnace. Apparently this also informed some of the nearby aliens (Necromorphs) that we were up to something, as they were attacking us just a few moments later.
If you've seen videos of Dead Space, you might already know that the game's combat is all about "strategic dismemberment." If you're going to survive on the Nishimura, you're going to have to take your enemies apart one limb at a time. We had our first chance to check out one of the new weapons, a badass little gun called The Ripper. This weapon fires small sawblades that are held in place (while spinning) with a beam. You can then move the beam around to basically saw multiple limbs and enemies into bite-sized chunks.
We also took a few minutes to browse one of the upgrade stores that you'll find throughout the ship. You'll be able to sell the extra ammo or items you find on your travels, spending the money on upgrades for your suit that will increase the amount of armor or allow you to carry more stuff. If you have too many things to carry but don't want to hock them, there's also a safe that will allow you to store them for later. We'll be interested to see if this is a simple inventory system or if there are some RPG elements mixed in. Even if there aren't, we're looking forward to spending some time in the darkness later this year.

Read The Rules
Attention! Especially the noobs.
Dark Weezing
- June 12, 2005 11:16 PM (GMT)
Since that those of the noob quality can't bother to read the rules, I decided to facilitate you.
Read them.
Learn them.
Maybe even love them.
1: On Posting
Primarily, you may post whatever you want as long as it isn't rude or offensive to anyone. We will not allow any lewd or pornographic items to be posted, and this will be grounds for an immediate and swift banning.
Profanity is to be kept at a strict minimum. There are moderate censorships in place, but I would prefer not to put more than the bare minimum. So, no quoting George Carlin. The man's a genius, but that's not the kind of language we use for a civilized forum.
There will be no double posting. You can delete any accidental double posts. No bumping of topics. Responses with one word responses or only smiley faces will be considered spamming and will be deleted.
2: On Gravedigging
Topics are kept alive for a 30 day period. After the first few days following the 30 day limit, the topic will be in a grace period. If no one responds during these few days, any new responses to this topic will be considered grave-digging and the
topic will be locked.
Sole exceptions are the Titan and JLU episode discussions. As long as it's relevant.
Consistent gravedigging will be grounds for a week long suspension, after which time you will be allowed to return to the forum.
3: On Courtesy
Show courtesy to each member of the forum. Arguments may get heated and that's all well and good, but keep it on a professional and on a dignified level. Anyone participating in a flame war will be issued a suspension.
Respect the moderators and administrators of the forum. They run things and work hard to keep things running.
Don't disrespect the focus of the Board.
No bashing people on basis of their own biases. Anyone who believes Robin belongs with Starfire are welcome, nay, encouraged to post here and maybe get introduced to why we enjoy our own piece of... non-canon... heaven.
No disrespecting anyone for their choice of religion, diet, or way of life.
4: On Banning
For most minor offenses, a suspension will be given. This suspension for a week will give you time to cool off and hopefully approach the circumstances with a cool head. But, you only have two chances. After the second suspension, you will be given one last chance. The third time action is taken, you will be banned from the forum.
5: Trolling.
The principle of spamming profusely (while anonymous) while not showing an iota of constructiveness, deriding and showing comtempt for our primary pairing, or anything else they may not care for, while in their infancy with their time with the board for the most part.
So as such, new members there whose posts are there strictly to deride or not respect our preference and can't say anything constructive, shall be banned. And their posts deleted.
Unfair? Perhaps, but if you hate the pairing, why come and run them down to us? I'm sure there are plenty of forums where they can use your "special" talents, such as it were.
We don't need it. I'm sure you can move on with your lives.
Remember, it's a TV show, you should really just relax.
6: Signature Space: Max picture signature dimensions 500 width X 400 height. Similar to mine but gives you some leeway.
As such.
Violations come on a case by case basis based on two conditions:
One) Tastefulness. Picture signatures with nudity and violence or suggestive worded ones will be removed.
Two) If the picture signature isn't resized or replaced by the time the offender signs on again, the admins will remove the signature. Whether the user wishes to use another sig is up to them.
Therefore if you want to keep a sig/avatar, be tasteful. Deletions will up to 5 without any problems. If persistent past that, then it will enter as a warning or suspension. Depending on case by case basis.
Addition: The first image may not be larger than the 500x400 dimensions as shown above and that other images may not be larger than 150x150.
Also, a limit for a number of images. Three images total for sigs. Any more and it makes for quite the distraction and bunches loading time.
In addition to the "tasteful and no suggestive themes/nudity" rule to the sigs, same rules apply to avatars in that they can be deleted as well.
7: Anti Spamming and Grammar: Especially since some of you are spammers.
First off: a reply can not mean "I like this" or "I agree" or just a smiley face and that's all you have to say. You have to speak something about the discussion at hand. Something of actual relevance. Doesn't matter if positive or negative. If you can't, then don't say anything at all and save us the time from deleting your useless post.
Multiple spamming will result in suspension and a full warning/strike against you.
Grammar/spelling rule:
Grammar will be enforced and cyberspeak is more or less prohibited. You can't get away with idiotic grammar anymore.
8: Spoilers: Are to be kept to yourselves, like your avatars and Sigs as an example. Both images and quotes. Those shall be removed. Unless there is enough of a demand for a spoiler thread of an episode via PM to the staff, then we shall remedy. Some of us would like to wait.
For the record, it's considering a spoiler if the content in question airs before the US does.
Those who would like to post images, post them as links.
9. Double profiles: Such deception is not tolerated nor is insulting to our member's intelligence with tricks.
So as such, the IP address/e-mails of both the pseudo account and the original shall be permanently banned. And if consistent with the deception in the future, the future pseudo accounts shall be banned.
We're honest with you, be honest with us.
Apologies we didn't attend to this sooner. We'll keep adding/amending as we go.
Thank you.

Professor James Fanto Comments on Recent SEC Decisions 3/23/2013 Professor James Fanto, an expert on corporate finance and securities law, commented on decisions that have recently come out from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Professor James Fanto Quoted on Blockage of Ban of Supersized Sugary Drinks 3/18/2013 Professor James Fanto was quoted in an article in Investor's Business Daily focusing on the separation of powers issue in the case of the recent blockage of Mayor Bloomberg's proposed ban on supersized sugary drinks. Professor James Fanto Comments on Potential SEC Chairman Appointments 1/27/2013 Professor James Fanto commented on rumors that Mary Jo White, partner at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, may be appointed as the next chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Professor Fanto, a strong proponent of greater Wall Street reform, argued that White's appointment will only maintain the SEC's current pattern of weak regulations on large corporations.

Professor James Fanto Comments on the Popularity of Compliance Officer Jobs 3/7/2012 Professor James Fanto spoke recently with Corporate Secretary about the rising popularity of compliance officer jobs.

Professor James Fanto on "Pre-Marketing" on Bloomberg 6/12/2011 Professor James Fanto commented to Bloomberg on the recent "pre-marketing" of Sino-Forest Corp. by Muddy Waters Research to various hedge funds. Although there is speculation that this move was fraudulent, Professor Fanto explains that there is nothing illegal in offering reporting to hedge funds before reporting to the public. "Muddy Waters can profit from this information itself, or allow others to profit from their insights as well," he said. "The only problems emerge when research is in fact based on insider tips. But that doesn't seem to be the case here." Professor James Fanto Quoted in Wall Street Journal on Exchange-Traded Funds 5/6/2011 Professor James Fanto commented on complex and leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in a recent Wall Street Journal article. Although many major brokerage firms sought to limit access to ETFs, nearly anyone with a brokerage account can purchase them. While many experts are calling for more regulation on the high-risk investments, Professor Fanto noted, "In the discount world, it's your own obligation." Professor Fanto Discusses Facebook Lawsuit in LA Times 4/16/2011 Professor James Fanto discussed the most recent chapter of Facebook's many lawsuits with the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday. This year, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss attempted to appeal their $65 million settlement with Mark Zuckerberg, arguing that the social networking giant did not reveal the true worth of the company. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals however has rejected the Winklevoss' claims and maintained the current settlement. Professor James Fanto told the LA Times the case was unlikely to win from the beginning: "When you go in well-represented into a highly contentious situation, it's hard to make the case you were misled." Professor James Fanto Discusses Reopened Facebook Case in LA Times 3/1/2011 Three years after winning $160 million, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are seeking to overturn their settlement from Facebook, alleging the company lied about its true value. While many legal experts say they are likely to lose, the Winklevoss twins may potentially win $600 million for the idea they argue was stolen by Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg. On the possibility of winning the case, Professor James Fanto told the Los Angeles Times, "You always have a shot; it's just a long shot. The courts are very reluctant to reopen settlements in the absence of significant fraud in the context of the settlement." Professor James Fanto Discusses Fiduciary Duty for Brokers on AdvisorOne 3/1/2011 rofessor James Fanto was featured in a webcast on AdvisorOne to discuss the SEC's "Study on Investment Advisers and Broker-Dealers." Hosted by the Center on Financial Services Law at New York Law School and The Committee for the Fiduciary Standard, Professor Fanto spoke on the connection between registered investment advisor oversight and extending the fiduciary standard to brokers. He was joined by securities law experts from FINRA and some of New York's top law firms. Professor James Fanto Participates in Fiduciary Standard Panel 2/1/2011 Professor James Fanto was one of five speakers at New York Law School's Center for Financial Sevices discussion "The SEC Study Regarding Oblications of Brokers, Dealers, and Investment Advisers: What Does It Mean for Investors, Firms, Brokers, and Advisers?" The interactive discussion explored the affects of the SEC's study on extending the fiduciary standard on financial advisors. Fanto was the only professor to speak among a prestigious group of colleagues on a panel hosted by Tara Bernard Siegel, personal finance reporter for The New York Times. Professor James Fanto Discusses Insider-Trading Arrests with Bloomberg 12/22/2010 Three technology company employees were arrested recently for allegedly selling the corporate secrets of Apple, Dell, and Advanced Micro Devices. Lawyers are also looking to prosecute the hedge funds that hired the consultants. Concerning the culpability of the various hedge funds involved, Professor James Fanto spoke to Bloomberg: "Few hedge fund managers have the investment skill to deliver the benefits that they promise. They have to find an edge however they can--in this case through the expert networks." Professor James Fanto Comments on Renewed Facebook Legal Dispute 12/15/2010 Three years after their $68 million settlement with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss now accuse Zuckerberg of securities fraud, alleging that he hid the true value of the company during negotiations. Professor James Fanto, an expert in securities, discussed the issue with E-Commerce Times: "There is almost no possibility of criminal charges here, and the securities fraud claim is probably a reach as well." Professor James Fanto Comments on Countrywide Financial Settlement in The New York Times 10/20/2010 Angelo Mozilo, former CEO of Countrywide Financial, and two of his top lieutenants have settled civil securities fraud charges filed against them by the SEC. The settlement includes over $67 million in penalties and reparations, but does not require Mozilo to admit any fault. However, Professor James Fanto, speaking to The New York Times, explains that the defendant was sufficiently punished. "Mozilo is agreeing to a permanent ban on serving as an officer or director of a public company," he said. "This is a significant punishment and does not look good for his legacy." Professor James Fanto Cited in Wachovia Bank N.A. v. VCG Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd. 4/2/2010 Judge Laura Taylor Swain, District Judge for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York cited Professors James Fanto and Norman Poser's case book, Broker-Dealer Law and Regulation (4 ed. 2009) on March 29, 2010 in her opinion in the case of Wachovia Bank N.A. v. VCG Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd. Professor Fanto Discusses Madoff Fraud in Securities Technology Monitor 5/1/2009 Now that Bernie Madoff has pleaded guilty to defrauding investors of $65 billion, law enforcement agencies are trying to understand how such an enormous Ponzi scheme existed without suspicion for so long. The Securities and Exchange Act includes a section requiring "an itemized daily record of all purchases and sales of securities"—information missing from Madoff's records. Professor James Fanto, an expert of corporate and securities law, spoke to the Securities Technology Monitor about how companies must comply to these rules and the methods of regulation by the SEC.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Japan's exports fell in November from their year-earlier levels, the Finance Ministry reported Wednesday, with the trade deficit widening from the previous month. November exports fell 4.1%, less than the 5.2% drop expected in a Dow Jones Newswires survey of economists and the 5.4% decrease tipped in a Reuters poll. Imports rose 0.8%, meanwhile, sending the trade deficit for the month to 953.4 billion yen ($11.4 billion), widening from October's Y549 billion trade gap. The deficit was the widest since January's record-wide deficit. Shipments to China tumbled 14.5%, continuing their fall amid a territorial dispute between the two nations that has led some Chinese to boycott Japanese goods. Exports to the U.S. rose 5.3%, while those to the European Union dropped 19.9%.

Lynn Kennedy, Martini Score Yale Goals
HANOVER, N.H. – Sophomore goaltender Jaimie Leonoff made 45 saves for the Yale women's ice hockey team, her fifth game this season with 40 or more saves, but it was not enough to deny Dartmouth Tuesday night at Thompson Arena. The Big Green outshot the Bulldogs 49-17 to come away with a 4-2 win. Sophomore forward Lynn Kennedy and freshman defenseman Kate Martini scored Yale's goals.
The game had originally been scheduled for last Saturday, but was postponed due to the blizzard that blanketed the Northeast with snow over the weekend. Yale's game at Harvard last Friday was also postponed, so it wound up being nine days without a game for the Bulldogs since they tied Quinnipiac 2-2 on Feb. 2. But despite the long layoff Yale took the lead 5:40 into the game on Kennedy's goal, her first of the season after missing most of the year due to injury. Freshman forward Hanna Åström and junior defenseman Tara Tomimoto assisted on the play.
Dartmouth (14-7-4, 9-6-3 ECAC Hockey) finished killing off its first penalty of the game as the second period began, then went to work on taking the lead. The Big Green peppered Leonoff with 16 shots for the period, tying the game 54 seconds into the second shortly after Leonoff had denied a short-handed chance. Forward Ailish Forfar's goal made it 1-1, and the score stayed that way through another Yale penalty midway through the period.
Later in the period, shortly after Leonoff had made a nice save on forward Reagan Fischer, the Bulldogs nearly caught Dartmouth in transition. Senior forward Alyssa Zupon's pass found senior forward Danielle Moncion heading towards the far post, but Moncion could not control the puck enough to get a solid shot off.
That missed opportunity proved even more painful when Dartmouth caught Yale in transition 30 seconds later. Defenseman Zoe Brennan's pass led forward Lindsey Allen perfectly as Allen headed into the Yale zone. With a stride on two Yale defenders, Allen was able to backhand one past Leonoff at 15:14 to make it 2-1 Dartmouth.
Big Green goalie Lindsay Holdcroft kicked aside a shot by junior forward Ashley Dunbar in the final minutes of the period, and Dartmouth kept the lead into the second intermission.
Yale (4-18-2, 3-12-2 ECAC Hockey) killed off another penalty early in the third, as the Bulldog penalty kill extended its streak to 23 successful kills. But at 5:37, Big Green forward Camille Dumais ripped one past Leonoff from the left circle to make it 3-1.
The Bulldogs got their second power play of the game with 3:43 left, and pulled Leonoff as well to get six skaters on the ice. That paid dividends when freshman forward Jamie Haddad and Tomimoto set up Martini for a slap shot from the point that beat Dartmouth goalie Lindsay Holdcroft high on her stick side with 3:03 left.
But with 45.6 seconds left and Leonoff still pulled, Dartmouth forward Jessica Gagner found the empty net from the neutral zone to make the final 4-2.
Leonoff finished five saves shy of her season high, 50 saves against Boston College in the Nutmeg Classic championship game Nov. 24.
Yale hosts RPI Friday night at Ingalls Rink.
