Why mexico as the release point? Or have we not seen the full scope of this yet, as in... if it is man made and released by man, is there other targets then Mexico, or do they feel Mexico can cover everywhere they want it to be.

I thought that ATS was a website where free-thinking individuals came together to rationally discuss things. After reading the last four pages, every post seems to be getting gradually more outrageous.

Mexican Doctor: Real Figure Is 200 Dead, Situation Out Of Control
BBC News
Saturday, April 25, 2009
Comment: The strain in Mexico is reported as being the same in the U.S. One of two things is true - either the Mexicans are lying about the severity of the crisis, or deaths in the U.S. are being covered up. The fact that this is all unfolding right on the border with Texas is obviously of prime importance because we are based here.
Tune in tonight at 8PM for a special swine flu report with Alex Jones. Listen online for free or watch the TV stream at prison planet.tv.
I work as a resident doctor in one of the biggest hospitals in Mexico City and sadly, the situation is far from "under control". As a doctor, I realise that the media does not report the truth. Authorities distributed vaccines among all the medical personnel with no results, because two of my partners who worked in this hospital (interns) were killed by this new virus in less than six days even though they were vaccinated as all of us were. The official number of deaths is 20, nevertheless, the true number of victims are more than 200. I understand that we must avoid to panic, but telling the truth it might be better now to prevent and avoid more deaths.
Yeny Gregorio Dávila, Mexico City
The situation in Mexico City is really not normal. There is a sense of uncertainty that borders on paranoid behaviour in some cases. At this very moment, Mexican TV is showing how military forces are giving masks to the people in the streets. Moreover the news is sending alarming messages for the audience. Really, the atmosphere in the city is unsettling, a good example: pubs and concerts are being closed or cancelled and people don't haven thorough information. In this city (and country) there is an urgent need for assertive information, no paranoid messages from the government or the Mexican media.
Patricio Barrientos and Aranzazu Nuñez, Mexico City
Massive events have been cancelled at the National Auditorium - Mexico City's largest indoor venue with capacity of 10,000 - which has been closed. Two soccer games have been cancelled at the Olympic Stadium. A sold out game with 70,000 expected attendance will be played behind closed doors. Another game at the famous Azteca Stadium that would draw an attendance of 50,000 will also be played behind closed doors.
Juan Carlos Leon Calderon, Mexico City
It's eerily quiet here in the capital. Lots of people with masks, Facebook communities exchanging gallows humour, everybody waiting to see if schools and universities will stay closed for ten days (as goes the rumour). All masks have been used up, and we are waiting for new supplies.

New Cases of Swine Influenza Confirmed in Kansas, California and Suspected in NYC
Saturday, April 25, 2009
NEW YORK — At least two cases of the human swine influenza have been confirmed in Kansas and one more in California, bringing the U.S. total to 11. At least eight students at a New York City high school probably have swine flu, but health officials said Saturday they don't know whether they have the same strain of the virus that has killed scores of people in Mexico.
A strain of the flu has killed as many as 68 people and sickened more than 1,000 across Mexico. The World Health Organization chief said Saturday the strain has "pandemic potential" and it may be too late to contain a sudden outbreak.
Kansas health officials said Saturday they had confirmed swine flu in a married couple living in the central part of the state after the husband visited Mexico.

The couple were not hospitalized, and the state described their illnesses as mild.
Dr. Jason Eberhart-Phillips, the state health officer, said, "Fortunately, the man and woman understand the gravity of the situation and are very willing to isolate themselves."
The man traveled to Mexico last week for a professional conference and became ill after he returned home. His wife became ill later. Their doctor suspected swine flu, but it wasn't confirmed until flu specimens were flown to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
At least nine swine flu cases also have been reported in California and Texas. The new California case, the seventh there, was a 35-year-old woman who was hospitalized but recovered. The woman, whose illness began in early April, had no known contact with the other cases.
Health officials are worried because people appear to have no immunity to the virus, a combination of bird, swine and human influenzas. Also, the virus presents itself like other swine flus, but none of the U.S. cases appears to involve direct contact with pigs, said Eberhart-Phillips, who called the strain "a completely novel virus."
"It appears to be able to transmit easily between humans," Eberhart-Phillips said. "It's something that could potentially become very big, and we're only seeing, potentially, the very beginning of a widespread outbreak."

In the entree round, the chefs must integrate tiny pasta and a powerful liqueur into their dishes. In the dessert round, when one competitor's plans fall apart, will there be enough time to redirect?

I spent a maudlin Sunday afternoon pushing the lawnmower as my husband was busy inside shooting down aliens on whatever game console he's obsessed with these days. This led to a bit of a self-pity party wondering why no one I live with appears to share my values. Perhaps, I thought, wiping the sweat from my eyes, they simply don't know what my values are (which really, gives them far too much credit, but I guess I was in more of a charitable mood than you would have guessed judging from the hot fumes of irritation visibly rising from my forehead. Or maybe that was just lawnmower exhaust). So I started composing a list. And at the risk of sounding like a nun singing in the Swiss mountaintops, I decided to share the first draft.
I value:
A lawn neatly mown, if not immaculately weeded
A rocking chair on the front porch with home-made seat cushions
Children raised with equal shares of responsibility and affection
Books that are good enough to forge their own path from friend to friend, sister to sister
Rooms that are cleaned regularly, even if my notion of "regularly" is more sporadic than my mother's
Especially genealogy
Fully owned 10-year-old cars that are still reliable
Pets who die of old age after living full and happy lives in your care
Daily trips into the near world for a change of scenery, fresh air, and exercise
Completed quilting projects
Knowing the words to every song that will ever play on my car stereo
Feeling pretty smug about my finances after watching Suze Orman's show
Bees celebrating in my volunteer catnip
Gardens, any garden
Old family photos that are copied, labeled, and distributed to the relatives
Halloween parties
Knowing exactly what I want to do for my children, and what I want my children to do for themselves—at least financially speaking (for the next 20 or so years)
Bosses who know how to give compliments and/or encouragement
Knowing that answering the phone or the front door are options, not obligations
Finding unexpected emails from old friends buried in my "junk" in-box
Living within our means
Knowing where I will be buried
Planning meals that will be prepared at home for minimum cost, maximum nutrition, and which garner universal acclaim in the flavor department (yeah, good luck with that one!)
Dentists who offer up the nitrous without having to be asked
Ed Troyer, still
Check marks on to-do lists
My children's company
Just reading over this list makes me feel happier. And, having started it, I suspect this might be just the beginning.

Bruce Springsteen has just notched his tenth U.S. No. 1 album — knocking off the previously unstoppable juggernaut that is Adele, no less — on the Billboard charts. But with the kickoff for the massive Wrecking Ball world tour just around the corner, there are probably just as many burning questions in the minds of Boss fans, as there are answers.
Some of these were put to rest with Springsteen's amazing two-hour set last week at New York's legendary Apollo Theater, which was also broadcast live over Sirius Satellite Radio. A similar warmup gig is scheduled for later this week at the South By Southwest industry confab in Austin, Texas.
[SOMETHING ELSE! REWIND: 'Wrecking Ball' wasn't a radical shift, so much as a modern testament to Bruce Springsteen's folk, blues, country and especially gospel influences.]
By most accounts, the newly expanded E Street Band sounded as tight as ever at the Apollo. The horn section added an element of sweet soul music to the otherwise downcast lyrical mood of some of Springsteen's new songs. Perhaps most importantly — and in probably the biggest question mark hanging over the room that night — it sounds like young Jake Clemons is going to do just fine, filling those size-twelve shoes that the Big Man left behind.
But just how is this new "E Street Big Band" — a group that includes so many guys onstage, one could really liken it more to a small orchestra — going to translate to audiences, once it moves out of the small theaters, and into the big arenas and stadiums?
Fortunately for us, there are a few precedents for this. The most recent example of Springsteen touring with this large an ensemble, would be the Seeger Sessions tour. In addition to the new band featuring a few carryover guys from that era, the songs on Wrecking Ball also incorporate some of the rawer folk elements from its namesake album. On that tour, the Seeger Sessions Band also created a hell of a joyous racket, even if it was of a slightly different color than the "big noise" the E Street Band is so famous in rattling arena rafters for.
Springsteen has also previously utilized a full horn section working in concert with the E Street Band. The last time he did this was on 1988's Tunnel of Love Express Tour, and the results were pretty spectacular there. On that tour, the more austere tone of the songs from Tunnel — which foretold the real life soap opera of Springsteen's first marriage disintegrating, even as he was shacked up with then backup singer Patti Scialfa out on the road — gave way to concerts that were often more like an old school R&B revue.
Doubt this? Just check out the clip below from the 1988 Tunnel tour in Europe — an uproarious cover of John Lee Hooker's "Boom, Boom," complete with a full compliment of blaring horns.
Perhaps owing to the venue (or "Temple Of Soul," as Bruce himself put it), a lot of the same sweet sounding soul carried over to last week's show at the Apollo, which blended the songs from Wrecking Ball with great R&B covers by everyone from Sam & Dave to Smokey Robinson. Bruce also re-introduced one of the more personal elements from his original performances back in the 1970s with the E Street Band — the place where he really first made his reputation as the greatest live act in rock — that hasn't been seen all that much since then.
[SOMETHING ELSE! INTERVIEW: The E Street Band's Nils Lofgren talks about the devastating loss of Clarence Clemons, and signature career moments with Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Ringo Starr.]
During both "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" and a cover of the Temptations' "The Way You Do The Things You Do," Bruce ventured out into the crowd. Longtime fans will particularly remember that back on the Darkness tour, Bruce would routinely do this almost every night, usually by about the third or fourth song. Here at the Apollo, Bruce takes this "personal approach" to a new level, that at one point had me fearing a little for his safety.
Check out the video below. Starting at right about the 7:00 mark, the way he is seen precariously dangling from the second balcony will remind you more of an old ECW wrestling match, than a rock concert.
Another thing about the upcoming tour that has a lot of Springsteen's more hardcore fans speculating out loud: What are the setlists are going to look like? While I do have some (but not a lot) of sympathy for the way some fans tend to obsess about this, I also have little patience for those who take this obsession to the extreme. I've been waiting to see my own favorite Bruce song, "The Price You Pay," performed live for a second time since the first time I saw him do it on The River tour back in 1980. But remind me sometime to tell you about the music blogger I know, who once wrote a concert review that devoted considerable space to how he turned his back on Springsteen when he had the audacity to perform "Waiting On A Sunny Day."
[SOMETHING ELSE! REWIND: Can't get enough Bruce Springsteen? We're going song by song — every one of them — from throughout the Boss' entire career in our weekly feature 'Sparks Fly on E Street.']
Hey, it's not one of my favorites either. Even so, not cool. At the same time, I have to admit that I much prefer the "anything goes" nature of Springsteen's recent tours for the Magic and Working On A Dream albums, over the more static approach taken on the tour behind The Rising, for example. I only saw two shows on the Magic tour — on back to back nights in Seattle and Portland. But on each night, the setlists were wildly different, and loaded with rarely played songs like "Trapped" and "Lost In The Flood." By contrast, I caught multiple shows for The Rising, in venues ranging from Vancouver B.C. to New Jersey, and the only significant difference with any of them came when he busted out the ultra-rare "Janey Don't You Lose Heart" at Giants Stadium.
Although I suspect that things will change once this tour makes the jump to stadiums — the shows should be longer than two hours, for one thing — Springsteen seemed to be sticking to a pretty strict setlist last week at the Apollo. Despite the aforementioned soul covers, the focus was definitely on Wrecking Ball, much the same way as The Rising shows (at least the ones I saw) honed in on that album. That said, if every show I see this tour (which I expect will be several) starts the same way as this one, you'll hear no further complaints from me.
The funniest thing about this clip, of course, is that none of the songs Bruce name checks in that over-the-top intro — "Dancing In The Dark," "Born To Run" and "Hungry Heart" — were actually played that night. But most likely, I'm just splitting unnecessary hairs here.
Of the more familiar tracks Springsteen did play at the Apollo — stuff like "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," "Badlands" and "Thunder Road" — you have to figure that Jake Clemons is still just getting his feet wet, which would also explain why there weren't as many of the "hits" played as usual. By the time, Jake finally does bust out something like "Jungleland" for example — which I fully expect will happen at some point on this tour — there are going to be a lot of fans in attendance holding their collective breaths.
The ghost of Jake's uncle, Clarence "Big Man" Clemons, still hangs just about that heavy over the Wrecking Ball tour.
It's going to be a bit of a learning curve for Jake, I suspect. In the meantime, if the Apollo show was any indication, Springsteen's audience seems to be warming to him. And the rest of the guys in the horn section have got his back, just in case.
It's Boss Time, baby. See ya' out at the shows this year.

Emily Bronte Quotes About AngelsQuotes about: Angels
She bounded before me, and returned to my side, and was off again like a young greyhound; and, at first, I found plenty of entertaiment in listening to the larks singing far and near; and enjoying the sweet, warm sunshine; and watching her, my pet, and my delight, with her golden ringlets flying loose behind, and her bright cheek, as soft and pure in its bloom, as a wild rose, and her eyes radiant with cloudless pleasure. She was a happy creautre, and an angel in those those days. It is a pity she could not stay content.
However , it's over, and I'll take no revenge on his folly – I can afford to suffer anything, hereafter! Should the meanest thing alive slap me on the cheek, I'd not only turn the other, but I'd ask pardon for provoking it – and, as proof, I'll go make my peace with Edgar instantly – Good night – I'm an angel!

Coming Soon: A Solar Furnace!
Guess what?!? We were chosen to have a solar air heater installed on our house as a demonstration project sponsored by the Southern Indiana Renewable Energy Network (SIREN)! Solar air heaters (also known as solar furnaces) are essentially big black boxes that heat up in the sun. They are filled with air channels so that air flows through the panel, heats up from the sunlight, and then the hot air goes into the house (generally with the help of a small solar fan). Solar air heating is a form of solar energy that's actually more efficient than solar electricity (photovoltaic panels) but doesn't get as much publicity. SIREN is excited to promote the technology and also hoping to launch a pilot project installing these systems on low-income houses.
Our solar furnace will come from the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance (RREAL), a company in Minnesota that makes them and also does a lot of work making renewable energy more accessible through training, education, installations, and a unique assistance program. They partner with agencies that serve the low-income community to install these systems for minimal cost as a way to make low-income families more self-reliant. Pretty cool stuff! SIREN hopes to bring a similar program down to our neck of the woods and is looking for an agency to partner with, hopefully the South Central Community Action Program (SCCAP), which is a local group working on weatherization and energy assistance for low-income families (among many other great assistance programs). Will and I are going through the application process so we can work together to try out the system, show it off to anyone interested, and further weatherize our home.
Want to see the system? We'll be posting lots of pictures on our blog when the installation happens and we'll also be opening our home up for a few tours. One will be as part of the Simply Living Fair coming up September 25-26. We're giving a talk on home energy reduction as part of the Saturday workshops and then our house will be featured as part of the Solar Energy Tour on Sunday. It should be lots of fun! (Disclaimer: I am chairing the organizing committee for the fair so OF COURSE I think it will be lots of fun.)
Hopefully we'll get accepted into the SCCAP program and they will help us do some insulating and caulking later this fall to further increase the energy efficiency of our home. I'm also still contemplating putting a greenhouse on our front porch to help improve heat gain through our south-facing bay windows but I'm not ready to make any promises. Regardless, we are looking forward to lowering our carbon footprint this winter while enjoying free hot air from the sun!

Salmon and king prawn lasagne(this dish is suitable for pesco-vegetarians)
This dish is simple, tasty and filling. It is also quite versatile. Most ingredients can be substituted: fresh for frozen; frozen or dried for fresh; salmon and or king prawns for other fish, and/or Quorn.
Make the Béchamel sauce. Stir in a quarter of a jar of mustard & dill flavoured sauce, and 2-3 g dried dill. Allow to cool slightly.
Take an oven-proof dish and scatter with a layer of watercress (we used still-frozen peas for the lasagne used in all the images), using approximately one quarter of the pack.
Then, layer the watercress with a quarter of the Béchamel sauce.
Add a layer of pasta.
Add the diced, uncooked salmon fillets to a third of the remaining sauce and spread evenly as the next layer.
The dried dill, used to further flavour the Béchamel sauce was bought from Tiger Stores, and this huge pack was only £1.00.
Add another layer of pasta.
Add the king prawns (which are pre-cooked and have been defrosted) to half of the remaining sauce and spread evenly as the next layer.
The final layer should be pasta, then the remaining Béchamel sauce. Sprinkle grated cheese on the top.
Place in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 4/180° for 20-25 minutes, until the top of the lasagne is golden brown and the filling is bubbling on the sides of the dish.
Serve with the remaining watercress, chips and/or a side salad, and a lovely and well-chilled white wine.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder that results from an increase in the pressure of the Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) that cushions and protectsthe brain and spinal cord. The CSF is constantly produced in the brain and reabsorbed back into the bloodstream at a fairly constant rate. This allows the fluid pressure around the brain to remain constant.
The cause is usually not known. A common explanation for increased pressure is a problem with the reabsorption of this fluid back into the body, which causes the pressure to increase. Sometimes the cause is determined and is referred to as "secondary" intracranial hypertension.
The majority of cases of IIH are adult obese females. Other risk factors include use of certain medications (oral contraceptives, steroids, vitamin A, Isotretinoin, lithium, growth hormone, nitrofurantoin, phenytoin, sulfa drugs, minocycline, Tamoxifen, naladixic acid, thyroid replacement, tetracycline, and some chemotherapeutic drugs).
Medical conditions associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension include blockage of the brain's venous drainage (dural sinus thrombosis), renal disease, head injuries, Lyme disease, lupus, acute sinusitis, measles, blood clotting disorders, anemia and malnutrition.
Yes, and can generally be divided into two groups. The first group includes prepubescent children and tends to be "secondary" which affects males and females equally. The second group, post pubescent teenagers, tends to fit the adult stereotype.
If idiopathic intracranial hypertension is suspected, an ophthalmologist usually examines the optic nerve for swelling (papilledema) and the visual field (if possible) for defects.
If MRI is unremarkable, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is performed to determine the pressure as well as content of the CSF. High pressure of CSF is indicative of IIH.
The ophthalmologist monitors vision and the papilledema. Weight loss for the obese is recommended. The mainstay of treatment is medication to lower the CSF pressure, which decreases papilledema. The four groups of medications include carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, steroids, migraine medication, and diuretics.
Less commonly surgery of the spinal cord (shunting) or the optic nerve (fenestration of optic nerve sheath) are utilized to lower pressure.
The most important thing anyone can do to improve this condition is lose weight if they are obese. Ask your doctor about local resources and clinics designed to assist you in your weight loss.
As many as 10 percent of the people with pseudotumor cerebri experience progressively worsening vision and may eventually become blind. Even if symptoms have resolved, a recurrence can occur months or even years later. It is important to have regular follow-up eye examinations.

The option of a "super-peak" ticket is still regarded as a viable option and transport campaigners believe it will be included in the latest instalment of the Government's fare review which is due to be published in the Spring.
Rail passengers, returning to work this week, have already been hit with an average 4.2 per cent rise in the cost of their season tickets.
Overcrowding during the rush hour remains a major problem, despite investment in new carriages and according to figures recently published by the Department for Transport the busiest trains can carry 50 per cent more passengers than their capacity.
One option floated in Whitehall – known as "peak spreading" – would see even higher fares charged during the busiest part of the rush hour, while fares on slightly earlier and later trains would be cut.
The prospect of even higher fare rises for passengers who have faced 10 years of above inflation fare increases would be difficult to sell politically.
Suggestions of a seven per cent premium, proposed in a DfT rail value for money study, have already been ruled out by the DfT as being "unaffordable for many commuters".
But more modest increases, which would take longer to have an impact, are possible with the carrot of cheaper fares at other times being considered as an incentive to encourage people to vary their working day.
The Olympics saw commuters alter their starting and finishing time thus avoiding the feared transport chaos which many thought the Games would bring.
Flexible ticketing is already being included as a requirement in the latest round of rail franchises and it could be used to introduce the more sophisticated fare structure needed to smooth passenger flows.
Calculations by the Campaign for Better Transport suggest that a three per cent premium, for example, would add £83.40 to the cost of an annual season ticket from Woking to London on top of the £2,896 from January.
For commuters coming into the capital from Sevenoaks, this would add £89.40, bringing the cost of an annual season ticket up to £3,201.40.
"It's extraordinary that the Government is still even thinking of doing this. Super peak pricing would hit already hard-pressed commuters in their pockets, and the Government's own analysis shows that it wouldn't do anything about overcrowding," said Stephen Joseph, the Campaign's chief executive.
"We want the Government's fares review to make the fares system simpler and more affordable, not even more complex."
Earlier this week Norman Baker, the rail minister, defended the latest fare rises saying it was "only right" that passengers paid more for the biggest rail investment programme since the 19th century.
But Sustrans, an environmental transport charity, warned that continued above inflation rail fare rises was forcing people into car ownership, which they could not afford.

Broadcasters Group Sues FCC Over Crackdown on 'Sidecar Agreements'
National Association of Broadcasters Files Second Lawsuit This Month Against Agency
Television broadcasters are stepping up their resistance to the Federal Communications Commission's crackdown on so-called sidecar agreements that let one station run portions of another in the same market.
On Friday, the National Association of Broadcasters filed its second lawsuit this month against the FCC in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. This time the trade group wants to overturn a March FCC order that restricted "joint sales agreements," which allow one station to sell advertising for another....

Men brought to tears experiencing the pain of giving birth
Hey, I am all for gender equality, but this is something that I might be too scared to try. A hospital in Jinan, China recently set up a childbirth simulation to give several male volunteers the feeling of what it's like giving birth.
The simulation station was called the "Pain Experience Camp," and part of the purpose of the experiment was to show men what women have to go through during pregnancy and give them a greater appreciation of the nine-month process.
The camp worked by connecting machines to men's abs and sending their stomachs electric shocks. The pain from the camp was so bad that some men were literally crying. The best part of the whole thing was that many of the men's wives got to witness them go through the pain and probably laughed the whole time.

Some Paid Advertising Advice To Assist You Showcase Wisely
Pay per click advertising (PPC) is a great method to consider your sales and gains to the following level. We discovered clicky by browsing Yahoo. People use PPC everyday appearing to boost their sales and sign up. The trouble is, most individuals who sign up believes it is a cake walk. Most people who sign up disregard advice that others have provided them, and as an alternative... they would like to come up with their particular techniques - techniques that ultimately make them broke.
You don't want to wind up down this path. Should you want to make ppc marketing work, you have to follow along with the tried and tested principles which have been laid out for you. I would like to give you a few strategies that have worked on the major PPC advertising platforms (Google AdWords, and Bing Advertising) for me.
1) Start off having a low bid
Instead (to avert the heartache of squandering money)... start-off using a low-bid. You want to discover what is the maximum amount of cash you can spend before you break-even. After you've determined the response to that particular puzzle, you may currently possess the solution to what's the max that you can pay... whenever somebody clicks on your own advertisement.
Sometimes you may have to increase your prices to make the numbers work. Occasionally raising costs is not unnecessary. But before you know your mathematics in your business... To discover more, consider glancing at: website. To research more, you may take a view at: commercial soscomplete. don't increase anything. You probably won't know exactly what you're doing - because the math in your promotion does not make any sense. Here's another tip for PPC:
There's not anything more frustrating than marketing a $10 product, and your initial bid is at $2. That method for for every 5 clicks you get, you will be charged $10. There is goes your sales... out the window. In case you require to get additional resources about success, there are heaps of online libraries you should think about investigating. If you're doing math this way and playing the game in this manner, then your conversion rates will need to be SUPER amazingly great.
2) do not blow the bank
Look I realize that you want to be rich and wealthy and and so forth, but you can't invest your money ALL into promotion. Remember, you have a life to live, and possibly other individuals who you need to take care of in your family. So until you reach the stage where you are making 6-figures per year, put your-self on a monthly price range.
An instance of this would be to make a commitment to invest just $1,000 a month for web advertising. That way if you have a job, a family, and children (and a spouse naturally)... it is possible to take the work cash that you simply made, and commit just a portion of it into marketing. Then you will have enough money left to supply for your loved ones.
Makes perception? Well it should, but you must figure out what that percent is likely to be in your company. Other folks's percentage will vary from your's - because they're going to make more, or make less than that which you are now making. Therefore make that the top priority.
All the best with using PPC ad in your internet business..

(Bloomberg) -- New York's top banking regulator is joining the U.S. Justice Department in investigating whether Credit Suisse Group helped U.S. clients evade taxes, a person with knowledge of the matter said.
Benjamin Lawsky, superintendent of New Yorks Department of Financial Services, sent a demand for documents last month to Credit Suisse, the second-biggest Swiss bank, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the probe is confidential. Credit Suisse fell as much as 2.9 % in Swiss trading.
Lawskys civil probe is examining whether Credit Suisse helped clients evade New York taxes, the person said. Lawsky also petitioned a U.S. Senate panel for evidence underlying a Feb. 25 report saying the bank helped 22,000 Americans hide as much as $10 billion in assets from U.S. tax authorities, the person said.
The Senate approved a resolution March 25 to authorize the production of records by the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. That resolution came in response to Lawskys petition, the person said.
Lawsky, a state regulator, has the power to revoke Credit Suisses license to operate in New York. He employed that threat two years ago against Standard Chartered Plc as part of his investigation into whether the London-based bank had violated U.S. laws regarding wire transfers on behalf of Iranian clients.
Marc Dosch, a spokesman for Zurich-based Credit Suisse, declined to comment on the probe. Credit Suisse shares fell 83 centimes to 28.62 Swiss francs in trading today in Zurich.
Caitlin Ferrell, a spokeswoman for Lawskys office, declined to comment today on the probe, which was first reported by the New York Times.
The Lawsky probe comes amid a three-year Justice Department investigation into how the bank helped Americans cheat the Internal Revenue Service. Credit Suisse is the largest of 14 Swiss banks facing Justice Department criminal probes after Switzerlands biggest lender, UBS AG, paid $780 million in 2009 to resolve its tax case.
Chief Executive Officer Brady Dougan apologized to the Senate panel on Feb. 26, saying a small group of Swiss-based bankers appear to have broken U.S. law and fooled top managers.
Credit Suisse said April 3 that it increased reserves to 720 million francs ($811 million) to resolve the U.S. case. The bank also agreed Feb. 21 to pay $197 million to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for providing cross-border securities services to thousands of Americans without registering to conduct the business.
For Credit Suisse, this will be very annoying, said Christopher Wheeler, a London-based analyst with Mediobanca SpA who rates the bank outperform. Having looked like they were close to dealing with this issue following the additional provisions it took last week, now it is back in the spotlight.
The subcommittees conclusion that Credit Suisse hid about $10 billion from the IRS is more than twice as much as claimed by the Justice Department in a 2011 indictment of seven of its bankers. Dougan disputed the reports finding, saying the number was closer to $7 billion.
This was a very small business from our point of view, less than 1 % of the global profitability of the global bank, Dougan said at the hearing.
He said bankers worked with outside intermediaries to help U.S. clients set up offshore shell entities with money deposited at Credit Suisse in the names of the entities rather than the clients. Such conduct, Dougan said, was egregious.
The subcommittee criticized Credit Suisse for failing to discipline any senior executives. Of 1,800Credit Suisse employees who helped Americans open 22,000 accounts, only 10 were disciplined and none was fired, according to the report.
The bank helped clients cheat the IRS by opening accounts under false names and shell corporations, avoiding the mail when delivering account statements and servicing clients in the two countries. One client was given an account statement hidden in a Sports Illustrated magazine, according to the report.
Credit Suisse bankers wooed wealthy American clients at bank-sponsored events such as an annual Swiss Ball in New York or golf tournaments in Florida and Nassau, Bahamas, according to the report. Almost 10,000 U.S. clients visited a branch office at Zurich airport given the code name SIOA5.
One client with a $2.6 million account recalled his annual meeting with a Credit Suisse banker. When he arrived, the client took an elevator with no buttons that was controlled remotely. He met the banker in a nondescript, white meeting room. After each meeting, the client directed the bank to destroy account statements, according to the report.
On March 12, a former banker at a Credit Suisse unit pleaded guilty to helping American clients evade taxes, implicating his superiors. Andreas Bachmann, a Swiss citizen, pleaded guilty in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, where he and six other Credit Suisse bankers were indicted in 2011 on a charge that they helped U.S. clients hide $4 billion in assets.
Bachmann, who is cooperating with prosecutors, said superiors at his unit condoned violations of U.S. law, as well as a 2001 agreement that Credit Suisse reached with the IRS to withhold and pay taxes on U.S. client accounts. Bachmann said he once complained to the chief executive officer of his subsidiary about the accords restrictions on activities in the U.S.
The executive, who wasnt identified, instructed him with words to the following effect: Mr. Bachmann: You know what we expect of you -- dont get caught, according to a 13-page statement of facts that he admitted with his plea.

As I am looking over pictures of refugee Assyrians and their children it truly truly continues to break my heart. Don't be naïve winter is here! It is going to snow soon and it has already rained an unusual amount of cold rain and the "refugee" camps are flooding in the North of Iraq! How are the Assyrian people going to survive in these camps? It is really sad to know we have roofs over our heads but hundreds of thousands of Assyrians do not have roofs over their heads in Iraq! They barely have enough blankets. Why is this happening to our people again and again? Why are we always prey to other nations and the disasters which have taken place in the region? Why are we not strong enough to be able to help ourselves when we must do so and to solve our problems as a nation?
I have realized and learned in the past years that life is not fair. There are innocent Assyrian children sleeping on cardboard boxes and lighting a fire outside in the cold in the North of Iraq. There are babies with no diapers and children with no school. Where is Divinity in these terribly sad situations? Where is justice? Where are the humanitarian people of the world? Where are the humanitarian organizations of the world?
I want to ask anyone and everyone who can help all the children and the Assyrian people to please do so. Christmas is coming. Let us give hope and happiness to Assyrian people living in refugee camps in the North of Iraq. I pray that this terrible situation the Assyrians are facing in Iraq will be resolved peacefully very soon and that the Assyrians will not live in refugee camps in their own ancestral homeland anymore, rather they will go back to their villages, towns, and all places which belong to them and in which they have continuously lived for thousands of years.
Please, whoever you are and wherever you are from, support a safe haven for Assyrian Christians in the North of Iraq! Have a heart. These are innocent people! They are parents with hopes for the future of their children. They are children who just want to play and get an education and be happy.
Please, help as much as you can. If you are affluent, help with bread and if you are influential help by spreading the message of the suffering Assyrians in the political world. At least help by making people aware. Even if you just have an internet connection help to spread the message on social media that the Assyrians are suffering in refugee camps in Iraq and that if they do not get help the situation is going to get much worse and many innocent people are going to die.
This Assyrian nation whose roots are in ancient history is becoming extinct. Honestly there is more awareness and projects about animal rights in the world compared to rights of Assyrians! The Assyrian nation which was born in Assyria in the cradle of civilization thousands of years ago and took its first steps with the help of God has been forgotten.
Iraq is an interesting country. It is rich in resources and history. Everyone wants a piece of Iraq! When considering this greed one could ask, "Is this the end of the world?" Surely yes because Iraq the place where humanity built its first civilizations it seems has become hated by the world and a nightmare for the Assyrians and so many other minorities.
Please in the coming days, weeks, ad months don't forget about the Assyrians and their children. Winter is here and it is harsh and cold and the refugee camps in the North of Iraq are a very lonely and miserable place to be for anyone.... Help the Assyrian survive...

Stopwatch Class
The .NET API Reference documentation has a new home. Visit the .NET API Browser on docs.microsoft.com to see the new experience.
Provides a set of methods and properties that you can use to accurately measure elapsed time.
To browse the .NET Framework source code for this type, see the Reference Source.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
Initializes a new instance of the Stopwatch class.
Gets the total elapsed time measured by the current instance.
Gets the total elapsed time measured by the current instance, in milliseconds.
Gets the total elapsed time measured by the current instance, in timer ticks.
Gets a value indicating whether the Stopwatch timer is running.
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.)
Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
Gets the current number of ticks in the timer mechanism.
Stops time interval measurement and resets the elapsed time to zero.
Stops time interval measurement, resets the elapsed time to zero, and starts measuring elapsed time.
Starts, or resumes, measuring elapsed time for an interval.
Initializes a new Stopwatch instance, sets the elapsed time property to zero, and starts measuring elapsed time.
Stops measuring elapsed time for an interval.
Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
Gets the frequency of the timer as the number of ticks per second. This field is read-only.
Indicates whether the timer is based on a high-resolution performance counter. This field is read-only.
To view the .NET Framework source code for this type, see the Reference Source. You can browse through the source code online, download the reference for offline viewing, and step through the sources (including patches and updates) during debugging; see instructions.
A Stopwatch instance can measure elapsed time for one interval, or the total of elapsed time across multiple intervals. In a typical Stopwatch scenario, you call the Start method, then eventually call the Stop method, and then you check elapsed time using the Elapsed property.
A Stopwatch instance is either running or stopped; use IsRunning to determine the current state of a Stopwatch. Use Start to begin measuring elapsed time; use Stop to stop measuring elapsed time. Query the elapsed time value through the properties Elapsed, ElapsedMilliseconds, or ElapsedTicks. You can query the elapsed time properties while the instance is running or stopped. The elapsed time properties steadily increase while the Stopwatch is running; they remain constant when the instance is stopped.
By default, the elapsed time value of a Stopwatch instance equals the total of all measured time intervals. Each call to Start begins counting at the cumulative elapsed time; each call to Stop ends the current interval measurement and freezes the cumulative elapsed time value. Use the Reset method to clear the cumulative elapsed time in an existing Stopwatch instance.
The Stopwatch measures elapsed time by counting timer ticks in the underlying timer mechanism. If the installed hardware and operating system support a high-resolution performance counter, then the Stopwatch class uses that counter to measure elapsed time. Otherwise, the Stopwatch class uses the system timer to measure elapsed time. Use the Frequency and IsHighResolution fields to determine the precision and resolution of the Stopwatch timing implementation.
The Stopwatch class assists the manipulation of timing-related performance counters within managed code. Specifically, the Frequency field and GetTimestamp method can be used in place of the unmanaged Win32 APIs QueryPerformanceFrequency and QueryPerformanceCounter.
On a multiprocessor computer, it does not matter which processor the thread runs on. However, because of bugs in the BIOS or the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), you can get different timing results on different processors. To specify processor affinity for a thread, use the ProcessThread.ProcessorAffinity method.
The following example demonstrates how to use the Stopwatch class to determine the execution time for an application.
using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Threading; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Stopwatch stopWatch = new Stopwatch(); stopWatch.Start(); Thread.Sleep(10000); stopWatch.Stop(); // Get the elapsed time as a TimeSpan value. TimeSpan ts = stopWatch.Elapsed; // Format and display the TimeSpan value. string elapsedTime = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}.{3:00}", ts.Hours, ts.Minutes, ts.Seconds, ts.Milliseconds / 10); Console.WriteLine("RunTime " + elapsedTime); } }

Buying a Luxury Home in Booming Istanbul
Luxury-home buyers are pouring into Istanbul from the Middle East and Europe, attracted by the city's rising yet comparatively affordable prices.
For centuries the skyline of Istanbul has been dominated by the domes of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Today these religious landmarks are being joined by high-rise shrines dedicated to luxury living.
This rapidly growing, transcontinental city, which covers more than 2,000 square miles and straddles the border of Europe and Asia, is having something of a moment. Buyers are pouring in from the Middle East and Europe, attracted by rising yet comparatively affordable prices, and by Turkey's relative stability compared with...

I am delighted to say this is the last of the Nestle Treasures range, which was kindly provided to me by *IShop4YouII*. If you have been reading the site over the last week or so you would have seen my reviews of the other 'Dark' & 'Caramel' variants. Well today's 'Cappuccino' bar came billed as 'milk chocolate with a creamy filling with crunchy cocoa bits' ... the marketing guys at Nestle sure played up the coffee aspect of this bar didn't they!?
As per the other variants this came in a 85.0g size - I must admit I ate less than half ... I think we know where this is all going. I thought the presentation again was pretty decent, with the dual layered paper and foil wrappers ensuring the chocolate was kept in a reasonably nice looking manner. Curiously the smell of the bar lacked any sort of coffee element, though that's not to say the aroma was poor it actually had a relatively sound sweet, chocolaty smell.
So where did this one go wrong!? Maybe it would be easier to start off where it went right ... ... ... ok done!! From the outset both the taste and textures to the bar were poor. Placing the chocolate in my mouth for the first time I was met the same waxy melting chocolate that I came across with the rest of the range. Sitting in the middle of the blocks were small flavourless pieces of what were supposedly chips of cocoa beans. Unfortunately the only contribution they made to the product was a rough feel to the chocolate, which combined with the meagre coffee taste made them actually come across as coffee granules. As I have just mentioned the coffee taste was weak to say the least ... in fact the bar was pretty flavourless on the whole, with only a poor sweet, offish soured milk taste being substantiated upon the full melt of the chocolate.
Overall you can probably tell that this was my least favourite out of the range. In regards to its flavours, textures and subsequent sustenance it was poor in almost every sense. The cappuccino element was near enough non-existent, though the flavourless cocoa beans certainly made for a truly horrible coffee granule like experience. It seems these are pretty rare chocolate bars to come across; to be honest If you ever do come across this range I would make a sharpish dash in the other direction ... the whole lot are best left alone completely.
4.1 out of 10
*** EU & UK Readers Attention*** Ever been been browsing Chocolate Mission or any other Candy Site and felt frustrated not being able to get hold of an American bar/item!??? .... well feel frustrated no more!!! 'I SHOP 4 YOU II'!! is a great service that provides a unique "one stop shop" international shopping experience!!! Visit the Ebay shop - if they dont have the item you want instock simply give them a message - there is no harm in asking. This service comes with a Chocolate Mission Seal of Approval!! It is a genuinely great, fast and friendly service... Just say you came from Chocolate Mission.

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Santa Clara University women's volleyball team swept the University of Portland by a 3-0 score Saturday night in the Chiles Center on the UP campus. With the win the Broncos improve to 11-5 overall and 2-0 in West Coast Conference play, while the Pilots fall to 10-6 overall and 0-2 in league action.
Senior setter Kelli Sousa guided the Bronco offense to a .388 hitting percentage as three SCU players registered double-digit kills on the night off of 47 assists from Sousa. Redshirt sophomore Toni Muratore posted a team-high 14 kills on the evening, followed by Becky Potter and Cassie Perret's 11 kills. Potter registered a match-high nine digs on the evening while Perret posted a career-high three block solos in the victory.
The match took only 89 minutes as the Broncos limited the Pilot offense to a .204 hitting percentage and 42 kills in the match. Sara Vercruyssen led the way for Portland with her 15 kills while her eight digs were tied for the team lead on the evening with Laura Pappas.
Santa Clara increases its all-time record against Portland to 29-7 with the win, having defeated the Pilots the last 17 times the two schools have met.
SCU returns to the court next week for a pair of matches, the first being a midweek contest against No. 9 California. That match will be played at 7 p.m. in Berkeley, Calif. The Broncos' second match will be a Saturday night affair against No. 19 San Diego in the Leavey Center. That WCC match is slated for a 7 p.m. first serve and will the first of a three-game homestand for the Broncos.

Ensure optimum cabin air quality and minimise cabin air related operational disruptions with the right Cabin Air Filtration solution for your aircraft.
The recirculated air on-board aircraft, which accounts for approximately 50% of the air supply, can contain high concentrations of dust, skin flakes, viruses, and other microorganisms whilst common occurrences like coughing and sneezing, combined with ultra-low humidity can promote the spread of bacteria and viruses.
The remaining 50% of the cabin air is provided by the engine bleed air. This air can contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that create unpleasant odours and in some cases, become harmful. Odors, although not harmful, can also be created in the cabin and contribute to an unpleasant overall cabin environment.
Maximise cabin air quality, reduce costly delays or cancellations and avoid maintenance burdens associated with these types of contaminants by choosing the Pall Advanced Cabin Air Filters (A-CAF).
Our commercial airline filtration solutions ensure cabin air quality and maintain high operational efficiency.

We are history makers. We are thought leaders. We are engineers. For over 70 years we have been delivering the highest possible value, service and standards, to help our global customers meet the most demanding performance, reliability and maintenance requirements in a wide variety of challenging situations and environments.
Pioneers, defining issues and designing solutions for a safer and protected future, Pall Aerospace has participated in virtually every aerospace program that requires fluid clarification and we have taken a leadership role in the development of products and specifications to resolve complex system contamination control problems.
In the 1980's, we worked closely with Airbus to design and manufacture the first cabin air filters for the A300-600/A310 aircraft. When the first cabin air recirculation systems were designed, the primary function of the non-HEPA cabin air filters was to protect the fans and downstream ducting from contamination.
In the 1990's, we used our medical filtration experience to introduce the first hospital-grade HEPA filters for the Boeing and Airbus fleet. The primary function evolved to also provide passengers and crew protection from airborne contamination by ensuring the removal of bacteria and viruses, from the recirculated air.
We did not stop there. Our scientists, application engineers and design engineers continued to research and develop the latest technologies to remove particulate contamination, as well as odors and Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs), from the aircraft cabin environment and in the years 2000s, Pall Aerospace brought to market the next generation of cabin air filters, A-CAF Advanced Cabin Air Filters.
We will continue to evolve with the industry needs to deliver world-class expertise, proven technical innovation and develop safe, market leading and environmentally responsible products.

New Homes in Colorado Springs. Vantage Homes, an award winning home builder, has building homes in Colorado Springss premier neighborhoods since 1983.
Be the first YellowBot user to add photos or videos of Vantage Homes Corporation
Buyer Beware and get every conversation and promise in writing! The house quality is average, but no matter what they tell you or how many times they tell you something will be in the house, get it in writing or it probably will not happen AND when you try to remind then after they do not do what was agreed to, they will offer to do it at 10 times the original cost. Terrible customer service.
Buy from builder at your own risk and dont believe a thing they tell you unless it is in writing and signed by Vantage. A Resale purchase would be better. The homes are of decent quality, but not only will they nickel and dime you to death, when you build with Vantage there are so many promises made that are not kept unless you constantly battle with them and when you bring the oversights up...
Vantage Homes Corp is located at 5170 Mark Dabling Blvd in Colorado Springs and has been in the business of Single-family Housing Construction since 2010.
Vantage Homes Corporation can be found at Corporate Dr 6215. The following is offered: Home Builders. The entry is present with us since Sep 9, 2010 and was last updated on Nov 14, 2013. In Colorado Springs there are 25 other Home Builders. An overview can be found here.
