Deregulation is the real (underlying) reason / cause behind the US oil spill by British Petroleum (BP) in 2010 off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. Deregulation coupled with lax government oversight (lackies appointed by Dick Cheney at the helm) lead to the omission of key safety features and protocols, a free pass for drilling licenses, emphasis on profit over safety, and absolutely NO PLAN for containment of blowouts.
For example, George W Bush and Dick Cheney helped block a 2002/03 Bill that would have required the use of acoustic switches to activate the blowout preventer (BOP). When the rig blew up, they had to MANUALLY activate the switch by sending robotic submersibles. This was all but impossible since the rig was in flames and the priority was putting it out and saving lives; this was easily foreseen.
In addition, BP did not want to lose an oil well (by activating the BOP); this would have cost them future profit in addition to the costs for exploration and preparation of the well. Eventually the rig collapsed and sank to the ocean floor. Because the rig was STILL ATTACHED to the well head / BOP, it bent or damaged the BOP making it unusable. Again, this is something that could have been foreseen; i.e. the need to activate the BOP immediately in the case of catastrophic rig failure, to avoid potential damage to the BOP. Profit wins over safety; BP must avoid activating the BOP at all costs.
An acoustic switch would have allowed them to IMMEDIATELY stop the well head (activate the BOP) as soon as the explosion happened. The BOP would not have been at risk for failure (due to rig collapsing); but, the lack of a remote switch and need to save the well (for profit and avoidance of loss) meant that they delayed trying to activate it. By that time the damage to the BOP had been done.
Lastly, all of the post-blowout efforts have been focused on SAVING the well; i.e. it was only after more than a month before BP attempted the TOPKILL method, which would have sealed the well. Attempts before that were about slowing the flow of oil or collecting it. Why did BP not try the TOPKILL method right away?

The process started with a photograph, which developed into light sketches, and ultimately the finished piece of work. Though I used only one tone of charcoal, the blending techniques achieved the tonal differences. I paid exceptional attention to the detail of this girl's eyes, in order to express timidity through the shine of her pupils. Contrasting balances appear in the rough strokes of the door against the child's smooth face, and the pale tone of her skin surrounding the darkness of her eyes.

Sabir Ali was expelled from JD (U) on Monday for praising BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's work.
An upset Ali who was denied a nomination to the Rajya Sabha had accused the JD-U of treating him unfairly because he was a Muslim.
He had also said that smaller parties were trying to cheat Muslims in the name of secularism.

The new provincial budget has good news for first-time homebuyers. The Property Transfer Tax (PTT) exemption limits were raised so more homes qualify. Now, homes up to $475,000 are fully exempt and homes up to $500,000 are partially exempt. The previous limits were $425,000 and $450,000, respectively.
The PTT is charged by the BC Government on home sales upon completion (the day you legally own the home). It's calculated as 1% on the first $200,000 of home value and 2% on the balance. A qualifying first-time homebuyer will happily save $7500 on a $475,000 home.

David Cameron will aim to visit every flood-hit area around the country "to try to learn lessons" after speaking to residents in one of the country's most flooded towns.
The prime minister defended the government's handling of the crisis and hit back at criticism that he was visiting places such as Upton-upon-Severn in Worcestershire, where the army was deployed after the town was cut in two by flood waters, only after the damage had been done.
Earlier, he described the floods as a tragedy while unveiling £10m of support for flood-hit businesses to help them keep trading.
Cameron said it was not fair to suggest the government was on the back foot over its handling of unprecedented national flooding, adding that the Cobra emergency committee had been meeting since water levels started rising before Christmas.
"I don't really think that's fair at all," he said of criticism. "When the bad weather and flooding started before Christmas in Norfolk, we had Cobra – the emergency committee – meet then.
"Then it met again after Christmas to talk about the problems in Kent and Somerset.
"I visited Norfolk and I've been up in Blackpool, here now in the West Midlands, and in the West Country.
"I'll try to get to every part of the country that's been affected so that we can learn all the lessons.
"But here in Worcestershire we can recognise that the flood investment that went in after 2007 has made a real difference, with hundreds of properties protected."
He added that government spending on flood defences had been increased to £2.4bn in the current four-year period - a rise of £200m over the previous spending period under the Labour government.
Cameron praised the impact of the defences, including those in Upton, where a £4.5m barrier and road protection scheme built after floods devastated the town in 2007 has successfully protected 64 homes and businesses from being inundated during the recent winter storms.
On Sunday, the defence secretary, Philip Hammond, defended the government's "proper response" to the storms but he also conceded the military could have been brought in sooner.
He said the Royal Engineers would now be sent in for fast-track inspections of flood defences damaged by the flooding, tidal surges and gales of up to 100mph that have battered the UK and left large areas of the south-west and the Thames valley under water.
Many communities in the worst-hit areas remain on high alert, with rivers and flood plains still swollen with water, and more bad weather is forecast.
Hammond added that about 3,000 troops had been deployed to assist flood-hit communities, with another 5,000 on standby.
Among those soldiers are B company of 1st Battalion The Royal Irish Regiment, who have been using high-axle troop carriers to run residents in Upton across the river since Saturday morning.
Cameron met members of the unit and praised what the locals affectionately call the "Upton Express".
Addressing the troops, he said: "I've been hearing about your fantastic bus service – it's very popular, I gather. I'm glad you're here."
Upton has the unenviable record of being one of the most flooded towns in England and has been inundated more than half a dozen times in the past 11 years and almost 80 times since 1970.

Funny isn't exactly the word that comes to mind when one thinks of cease-and-desist letters, but Netflix's legal team managed to write a pretty good one to shut down an unauthorized "Stranger Things"-themed pop-up bar in Chicago.
Called "The Upside Down," the pop-up opened in Logan Square on Aug. 18 for a six-week run. It was created by the team that runs Emporium, an arcade-slash-bar in the square. With "Stranger Things"-inspired drinks and decor, the pop-up paid homage to the hit series and quickly attracted the notice of fans. Seeing the project's success, the Emporium team was interested in extending its run, according to DNAinfo.

— Eating Beagles (@EatingBeagles) August 26, 2017
Netflix, however, also caught wind of the bar, and the company's legal team quickly put an end to that idea. Although the letter liberally sprinkled in funny "Stranger Things" references, the message was clear: The pop-up should not be extended.
The body of the letter, via DNAinfo, appears below.
My walkie talkie is busted so I had to write this note instead. I heard you launched a Stranger Things pop-up bar at your Logan Square location. Look, I don't want you to think I'm a total wastoid, and I love how much you guys love the show. (Just wait until you see Season 2!) But unless I'm living in the Upside Down, I don't think we did a deal with you for this pop-up. You're obviously creative types, so I'm sure you can appreciate that it's important for us to have a say in how our fans encounter the worlds we build.
We're not going to go full Dr. Brenner on you, but we ask that you please (1) not extend the pop-up beyond its 6 week run ending in September, and (2) reach out to us for permission if you plan to do something like this again. Let me know as soon as possible that you agree to these requests.
We love our fans more than anything, but you should know that the demogorgon is not always as forgiving. So please don't make us call your mom.
At least it was fun while it lasted. Maybe they'll work with Netflix in the future and bring back The Upside Down as an authorized pop-up. In the meantime, we have the "Stranger Things" Season 2 premiere on Oct. 27 to look forward to.

The Belgian is one of the most coveted players in Italy but the Rossoblu have denied reports that the midfielder is bound for the Olimpico during the January transfer window
Cagliari sporting director Nicola Salerno has rubbished rumours that the club have agreed to sell Radja Nainggolan to Roma.
The Belgium international is widely expected to leave the Sant'Elia during the January transfer window and has been reportedly attracting interest from traditional Serie A heavyweights Juventus, Inter and AC Milan.
It has been reported that Roma have also entered the race after a meeting between Cagliari president Massimo Cellino and Roma director of football Walter Sabatini but Salerno insists that it was nothing more than a chance encounter.
"There is no agreement," the Rossoblu official told ASRomaRadio.it. "Cellino and Sabatini have spoken with one another in general terms and I can tell you that they met at the airport by accident. This story was born of that.
"But there is nothing concrete in relation to Nainggolan. We have not started any negotiations with Rome. I do not know to what extent the Giallorossi are interested in the player.
"We are not in a position to give an answer [to that question]. We have started several negotiations and within 10-15 days we will be able to give you a definitive answer.
"It can't even been said that we will give him away. For the moment, there is nothing concrete; I can assure you of that 100 percent."

On August 19, 2015, the US Securities and Exchange Commission announced that Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (CGMI) agreed to pay a $15 million penalty in connection with settling charges for failing to enforce policies and procedures to prevent and detect securities transactions that could involve the misuse of material, nonpublic information. Additionally, CGMI agreed that they had failed to implement policies and procedures to prevent and detect principal transactions conducted by an affiliate.
According to the SEC's order, CGMI violated Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requiring brokers and dealers to establish, maintain and enforce policies and procedures to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information. The SEC's order also found that CGMI violated Section 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-(7) requiring registered investment advisers to adopt and implement written policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Advisers Act and its rules. In additional to paying the penalty, CGMI has agreed to hire a consultant to review and recommend improvements to the firm's trade surveillance and advisory account order handling and routing.

The spiaggine The spiaggine is an open styled car, intended primarily for use in summer months, often at tourist resorts. It is distinguished from other types of cars by the fact it has no doors, no roof, has a removable awning in place of the roof.. The interiors are made of water-resistant materials. The birth of "spiaggina" type vehicles was immediately after the war by the initiative of some Italian coachbuilders who transformed mass production utility cars in order to make them suitable to the needs of wealthy clients, to suit their needs during the holiday period at seaside resorts. The changes were made by request of the buyer varied and generally included the removal of the roof and replacing it with a tarp awning made of cotton, the installation of cloth or wicker seats and elimination of side and rear seats for better access. The name "spiaggine" comes from one of the first cars of this type, the Savio spiaggine of 1958, built from a base Fiat 500 and designed by Mario Boano. This car, although it was built in only two copies, became famous around the world for being photographed with its owners, Gianni Agnelli and Aristotle Onassis. What probably contributed to the emergence of the term "spiaggine", the reference to the folding chair used in Italy at beach-side resort, since at the time of their presentation journalists likened this type of car to "beach furniture". Since the second half of the 1950's, several models of spiaggine were built in small series from the main Italian coachbuilders until the early nineties, including the body Moretti Turin that after the success of the 127 and 126 midimaxi created the only spiaggine wheel drive : the Moretti Panda Rock, produced up to December 1989. With the final closure of all builders who worked and altered production Fiat chassis, the term "spiaggine" fell by the wayside because of the safety rules and regulations in Europe. But these cars are always admired by many fans and make record quotes from records in all auctions worldwide. old Fiat 500 Jolly Ghia The Ghia 500 Jolly is a spiaggine built by Ghia bodywork, 1957-1974. Made on the mechanics of the Fiat 500 and later on the basis Autobianchi Giardiniera, was among the first projects of Sergio Sartorelli, just come to the technical direction of the Ghia, after the departure of Giovanni Savonuzzi. The car was very expensive and was a cult object, scope and bought by many VIP's like Aristotle Onassis, Yul Brynner, Enrico Berlinguer and Silvio Berlusconi, to be put on their yachts or for 'use as a "golf cart" as well as a way to get around their estates. Among the most famous owners also the artist and Ligurian painter Mario Berrino. They were sold in the United States between 1958 and 1966 and in Italy and Europe until 1974. The vehicles included protections on the sides and the windshield, as cover had simply an awning of protection for the sun (instead of a more classical hood) resting on a body of chrome pipes, the doors were totally absent and replaced by simple chains. The colors were available: pink, coral, white, pale yellow and sky blue. The mechanics had been the original Fiat with the classic air-cooled twin.

The Macintosh IIsi has a case fan mouted on inside back of the computer case.
The fan recieves power from two contacts on the logic board and has no connector.
In all of the years that I have worked on this machine, I have found no good way to remove the fan.
The best way to start, is to push in here on the side of the fan.
Being careful not to exert too much force, try to push in, and wiggle the fan outward as such. (2nd Photo)
You can now lift the fan all the way out, and remove it.
The Fan Power Contacts on the Logic Board:
There is no need to pull out the fan. Just take a knife and you can squeeze the tab in step 7

Join us as a group of performers tell the true story of Greendale from its early days in the 1930s. In this dramatic presentation, you will discover Greendale from "Pioneers" in their own words. Hear why there was always a tavern in our town, why no basements in the originals, and more about that movie theater in the heart of Greendale. This program is available for your group.

- Coffee Bean Acrylic Pen Blank
Do you like the smell of fresh ground coffee? Well if you make your pens with one of these blanks, you will be able to enjoy the aroma as you turn. Made from real coffee beans encased in cream coloured acrylic, these blanks offer a unique choice for the discerning pen turner. At 125 x 19 x 19mm many different pen types can be produced from this blank. N.B. You may find that stabilising the blank with thin cyanoacrylate adhesive as it is reduced in diameter will help to achieve a good finish.

coffeethe coffee bean blanks are a waste of money, if they hadn't been the price that they are it may have been ok, but there not. I started turning mine 1st one out of two bought, lovely smell; then I started to lose the coffee beans while turning, I finished up with one with no beans down one side the other with uneven beans. I don't think i'll be buying anymore.

My Shed Smells Like Starbucks!I purchased my first coffee bean blank last week and today I turned it into a pen.

Coffee blank chip outIv'e turned several pens, both slim-line and european styles. After the first attempt, which i had the same success as Janet Frehley but the next try turned out more successful. I have found that the tooling must be very sharp and make very fine cuts to reduce chip out of beans.

The LPGA Tour heads to historic St. Andrews this week for the Ricoh Women's British Open. Each week, a panel of experts will offer up their picks from four groups of players, based on Golf Channel's fantasy game, Fantasy Challenge. We will also keep track of their scores and standings. The panel includes: senior writers Rex Hoggard, Randall Mell and Jason Sobel; contributors John Hawkins and Win McMurry; editorial director Jay Coffin; 'Morning Drive' host Gary Williams and staff writer Ryan Lavner. They are joined by former 'Saturday Night Live' star Norm Macdonald, who will serve as a celebrity guest.
Rex Hoggard
Group 1: Inbee Park: Because there is not a better place to make a historical statement then St. Andrews and of all the things the world No. 1 does well it is her lag putting that makes her an easy favorite this week.
Group 2: In-Kyung Kim: She finished second at the LPGA's last major (U.S. Women's Open) and has the game and demeanor for a Grand Slam test.
Group 3: Sakura Yokomine: A regular on the LPGA of Japan she has climbed to 46th in the Rolex World Ranking and may surprise some this week in Scotland.
Group 4: Laura Davies: Veteran hasn't played her best golf this season, but she still bombs the ball (she's 20th on tour in driving distance) and the Englishwoman qualifies as a sentimental favorite.
Jason Sobel
Group 1: Inbee Park: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me three times … and that's why I'm in last place in this thing.
Group 2: Catriona Matthew: Buoyed by the home crowd, expect another big week for the Scotland native.
Group 3: Jodi Ewart Shadoff: Seems to play her best golf when the winning score is closer to par, which should be the case this week.
Group 4: Juli Inkster: Experience means everything at St. Andrews and Inkster comes to the Old Course armed with plenty of it.

This past summer I visited the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington. This small, open-air memorial made me feel solemn and again thankful for the 1.5 million US men and women who served there during the three-year war.
I fully sympathized with the message inlaid on the granite wall: Freedom Is Not Free. Even though I was born in 1956, three years after the Korean War ended, my childhood shared the agony derived from the 35-year Japanese colonization and the later Korean War.
We were poor and not very civilized. Many Korean people wore white clothes mainly because of tradition and the lack of modern dyeing technology. We heard of a lot of dreadful stories about civilians being killed by North Korean soldiers, pro-North Korea regime groups, or sometimes even by South Koreans themselves.
But I have never heard that American soldiers killed any South Korean civilians.
Therefore the Associated Press Sept. 29 report on allegations that American troops killed hundreds of South Korean refugees in white under a railroad bridge near No Gun Ri shocked and embarrassed me. The report is convincing and seems to be true.
At that time, one month after the Korean War broke out, the hastily dispatched American troops were forced to retreat and the front line was just a few miles away. They might not have known that people in white in Korea were usually anguished and innocent civilians.
The American soldiers might have considered them threatening and troublemaking in an extremely tense and panic-filled war front. But they were mostly the old, women, and children.
The US always tries to avert or minimize civilian casualties and collateral damage in wars, as shown in the Gulf War and the recent Kosovo conflict. Former FBI director and Korean War veteran William Sessions said, "The American soldiers went not for conquest and not for gain, but only to protect the anguished and the innocent."
South Koreans believe that and appreciate it. However, this contrary and disturbing story should not be ignored or forgotten.
The No Gun Ri incident should be investigated and the truth should be recorded in Korean War history as a valuable historical lesson not to be repeated.
The victims should be consoled and commemorated. At last, on Sept. 30, Defense Secretary William Cohen ordered a new and thorough review of the incident. We welcome it.
I don't think the incident, even if it proves to be true, would lessen the well-deserved honor and respect given to the US veterans who sacrificed themselves for South Korea.
But the truth about No Gun Ri will enhance the integrity of the Korean War Veterans Memorial and American justice. The final report should be presented in conjunction with the special events commemorating the 50th anniversary of the start of the Korean War next June.

From Gilmer, Texas, USA:
Since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes less than a year ago, my husband has lost interest in having sex. He is not impotent, but he is just not as interested, and his interest in becoming less and less. I don't know if this lack of interest is because of his diabetes or if it is in his mind and he blames the diabetes. Please help!
The first thing that comes to mind is that your husband is depressed. After all, he recently found out he has diabetes and has probably been asked to make many changes in his lifestyle. I strongly recommend that your husband be screened for depression and, if necessary, receive prompt treatment. Depression is more common in people with diabetes but, with the proper treatment, your husband can learn to enjoy life again and his sexual desire will most likely return.
[Editor's comment: Lack of interest might also be related to other health problems, or to medications (for other conditions, not for diabetes). Be sure that he (or you) mention this issue to his physician. WWQ]

NORWALK, Conn. -- Trey Canevari, a Norwalk resident and senior at King School in Stamford, surpassed 1,000 career points and concluded his basketball career as one of the top scorers in school history.
Canevari eclipsed the 1,000-point milestone with a 15-point effort in a 66-41 win over Forman. He concluded his career with 1,022 points after the Vikings fell to Greens Farms Academy of Westport, 74-43, in the Fairchester Athletic Association quarterfinals.
Canevari will play basketball at Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania. He is three-sport captain at King, where he also played football and will be on the school's baseball team this spring.
Only eight other basketball players have surpassed 1,000 career points at King. Norwalk's Drew Sawyer was the last to accomplish the feat. He graduated in 2012.

Apartment Investment & Management Co. AIV – commonly known as Aimco – is slated to report second-quarter 2017 results on Jul 27, after the market closes. While its funds from operations ("FFO") per share are expected to grow year over year, revenues might see a decline.
Last quarter, this residential real estate investment trust ("REIT") delivered an in-line performance. Results reflected conventional same-store property net operating (NOI) growth, higher contribution from development, redevelopment and acquisition activities, along with higher renewals rate from expiring lease rates. However, the positive was partially offset by the loss of income from apartment sales in 2016.
However, Aimco has a mixed earnings surprise history. Over the trailing four quarters, the company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in one occasion, reported in-line numbers in two and missed the mark in another. Overall, Aimco delivered an average positive surprise of 0.43%. This is depicted in the chart below:
Apartment Investment and Management Company Price and EPS Surprise
Apartment Investment and Management Company Price and EPS Surprise | Apartment Investment and Management Company Quote
In addition, year to date, shares of Aimco have underperformed the industry. While the company's shares fell 2.7%, the industry gained 5.1% over this period.
Factors to Influence Q2 Results
Aimco has a solid portfolio diversified both in terms of geography and high priced units. The company has been revamping its portfolio through property sales and re-investing the proceeds in select apartment homes with higher rents, superior margins and higher-than-expected growth. This is likely to enhance the quality and expected growth rate of its portfolio in the quarter to be reported.
Also, the company is well on track to strengthen its balance sheet and liquidity position, as well as improve its leverage. Aimco is aimed at boosting its financial flexibility by increasing the pool of unencumbered apartment assets.
However, there is a slowdown in rent growth of Aimco in certain locations due to competition from new supply. In fact, in many markets new lease rent increases have either slowed or turned negative. As such, in the second quarter, this new supply is expected to put pressure on new lease pricing, particularly at the high price point units.
Moreover, even though it is a strategic fit on part of the company to sell non-core assets and buy property in higher-growth in-fill areas, the dilutive impact on earnings from such asset dispositions cannot be bypassed.
For second-quarter 2017, Aimco projects pro forma FFO per share in the band of 56–60 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is currently pegged at 60 cents. This estimate remained unchanged over the past 60 days, reflecting lack of any solid catalyst.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Aimco will likely beat estimates this season. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive
Zacks ESP: The Earnings ESP, which represents the percentage difference between the Most Accurate estimate of 59 cents and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 60 cents, is -1.67%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they're reported with our
Zacks Rank: Aimco's Zacks Rank #2 increases the predictive power of ESP. However, we also need to have a positive ESP to be confident of an earnings beat.
Stocks That Warrant a Look
Here are a few stocks in the REIT sector that you may want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to report a positive surprise this time around:
Liberty Property Trust
Regency Centers Corp.
CyrusOne Inc
Note: All EPS numbers presented in this write up represent funds from operations (FFO) per share. FFO, a widely used metric to gauge the performance of REITs, is obtained after adding depreciation and amortization and other non-cash expenses to net income.

A while back, I shared with you a sneaky peek of the new Cocoa Brown products. Since then I attended the official launch of the three new products and today I am sharing my thoughts on the new Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze.
|*Image from www.cocoabrown.ie*
Gentle Bronze is a gradual self tan that moisturises your skin and allows you to build up your colour from a light tan to a nice bronze colour.
Now, I will put my hands up and admit I have never ever been a fan of gradual tans. I love the idea of them and have tried low end and high end ones.I always found they had the typical fake tan smell and found them very streaky.With this experience, I have to admit I was a little dubious when I heard Cocoa Brown were launching one. I really wanted to like it as I'm a huge fan of the brand and Marissa.
On opening the tube, I was faced with a milky brown lotion, a lot paler than the 1 hour tan and a different consistency but I expected that.
I applied Gentle Bronze in minutes and wasn't left waiting ages for it to dry. I applied it before bed and woke up with a very light glow. I like a darkish tan but I liked the effect. That evening I applied another layer and left it over night. The result was a lovely bronze colour. No orange in sight but then I knew that wouldn't be an issue.
Here's a colour guide going from no tan to after two applications.
I really like Gentle Bronze. I think it's a great introduction to anyone who is a little afraid of the idea of fake tan and it is also great for just before you head on holidays to build up a little colour. Myself and the hubby are planning a June holiday and without a doubt, Gentle Bronze will be getting used before I go away and getting packed in my luggage.
Have you tried Gentle Bronze or any of the new arrivals yet? Next on my list to try is Lovely Legs
Gentle Bronze has an RRP of €5.99 and is available from your local stockist

I am a big fan of natural food and natural beauty products. After learning that 60 percent of what you put on your skin is absorbed into the body I got more into natural beauty products. Face masks can improve your skin condition and complexion by increasing blood circulation, neutralizing the skin, stimulating, and eliminating the toxins, trapping moisture on the skin, and closing the pores. This home made face mask is wonderful because it is so fresh and is very quick to make.
The Benefits Of Honey And Yogurt
Yogurt contains lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid and that helps exfoliate and smooth the skin. For this mask, make sure to use plain, thick yogurt with active cultures for the ultimate beauty benefits. If the yogurt is too runny, strain the mixture. Honey is a great natural skin moisturizer, keeps skin soft and fights infections and acne.
By combining them together in the kitchen, you have a great natural face mask you can even eat!

Jan 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Midwestern regional bank Flagstar
Bancorp Inc said it will sell a substantial portion of
its Northeast-based commercial loan portfolio to CIT Group Inc
for about $780 million as it looks to focus on its
community banking operations.
CIT's U.S. commercial bank subsidiary will acquire $1.26
billion in commercial loan commitments of which $785 million is
currently outstanding, Flagstar said in a statement.
It expects to sell majority of the assets during the first
quarter of 2013.
The purchased assets consist of asset-based, commercial real
estate and equipment finance loans and leases, CIT Group, led by
former Merrill Lynch Chief Executive John Thain, said in a
separate statement.
The Troy, Michigan-based Flagstar, which is currently
fending off a lawsuit by bond insurer Assured Guaranty Ltd
over mortgage backed securities, expects the sale to be
capital accretive.
"This transaction is another step in renewing Flagstar's
focus on our community banking operation in Michigan and our
national mortgage business," Flagstar Chief Executive Michael
Tierney said in a statement.
Shares in CIT closed at $39.04 on Wednesday on the New York
Stock Exchange, while those of Flagstar Bancorp closed at

text: In a fascinating article, Collin Smith, graduate student at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center in China, explains why China has been building a large amount of new coal-fired capacity the past two years, despite its climate commitments and drive for renewable energy. He also explains why this capacity does not necessarily translate into more coal power production: the power plants are and will be heavily underutilised. There is a danger though that the … [Read more...]

What would happen if Wen family members sued the New York Times in the US?
More notes on the continuing saga of the Wen family fortune, which I've blogged about here and here. Lawyers retained by undisclosed members of the Wen family issued a statement denying parts of the story and containing a veiled threat of a lawsuit at the end. (The Want China Times reports that the lawyers have since stated they are acting on behalf of Wen's son, Wen Yunsong (Winston Wen).)
What would happen if Wen or his family members tried to sue in the US? Here's an analysis by my colleague, Jonathan Turley, an expert in these matters. Best line: "The Chinese government regularly responds to such corruption stories with executions but they are viewed as little more than a lethal form of public relations." One caveat: his analysis states that the Wen family has already retained US lawyers, which to the best of my knowledge is not accurate, but I think we can forgive him this slight misreading of the NYT story because he wrote his post in the middle of trying to drive from New Orleans to Washington in a hurricane. It doesn't affect the analysis.
What would the legal analysis be if the Wen family sued in China? Stay tuned - I hope to have something on that shortly. Of course, the political analysis is pretty easy - it's unimaginable that they would lose if they went so far as to bring suit. This does not mean it would be wise for them to do so, however - there would be costs.
