Oh, one thing maybe. After defeating an undead sorcerer and subsequently burning his body. I made it so that he inhaled the ashes.

Case in point... Backstory. Young adventuring group has only been together for a few weeks escorting a priest to an outpost far removed from civilization. On the way there the were attacked by creatures (akin to goblins/kobolds) who had a group of attackers who liked to throw clay pots at them with varying effects. Some were filled with a glue type substance, some with a greekfire type substance used in concession of each other for maximum affect, some had an agent that disoriented those affected by the blast.

Should You Itemize When Preparing Your Tax Return?
Though everyone groans about having to pay taxes, the government is nice enough not to tax U.S. citizens on the full amount of their earnings.
There are two big buckets of deductions the government provides: The first are called above the line, and the second are called below the line. (The "line" these deductions refer to is a literal line on your 1040 form for the Adjusted Gross Income.)
Below the Line Deductions
Below the line deductions come in two types: One is called the standard deduction, and the second is called itemized deductions.
The Standard Deduction
The standard deduction is an amount of income that the government will not tax any taxpayer on. Most people take the standard deduction on their returns, which is worth anywhere from $5,950 to $11,900, and opt out of the whole process of itemizing.
It's as simple as saying, "I'm a single person (or married filing singly, or married filing jointly), and yes, I would like the standard deduction." For some people, this is just fine. After all, that's a lot of money, and taking just the standard deduction makes your taxes simpler and faster. What's not to like?
(Check out the following chart to find out what the standard deduction is for your filing status.)
|If Your Filing Status Is. . .
|Your Standard Deduction Is:
|Single or Married filing separately
|Married filing jointly or Qualifying widow(er) with dependent
|Head of household
Itemized Deductions
Itemizing your deductions means listing out each deduction you qualify for. People do this when the sum of all their deductions is greater than the standard amount. Some things people might itemize include medical expenses, large charitable donations and mortgage interest payments.
But How Do You Know Which One is Right for You?
At stake in this decision are savings in terms of money and time. For some people, taking the time to itemize could save them hundreds or thousands of dollars in taxes. On the other hand, people who don't take the time to itemize could miss out on tax savings.
The most recent study in 1998 by the General Accounting Office estimated that 2.2 million people overpaid their taxes because they chose not to itemize. It seems many wrongly take the standard deduction because it's easier; people forgot to keep records during the year or assume they don't have any deductions.
Then again, there are the people who decide to itemize even though it's not worth it. They just made their lives needlessly more complicated (and expensive, if they relied on an accountant to do this for them) for no real financial benefit.

Deep Muscle Arm Piercing
ello, my name is David and I live in Sweden. If you don't know anything about Sweden then all you need to know it that it is a small beautiful and cold country.
Well, the thing I want to tell you (and the members of BME) is what happend to me two years ago.
I went out for a walk in one of Stockholms many nice parks where I got mugged. I didn't't have any money so probably this robber got pissed of and as he left he shot me in the back. Or not exactly in the back but from behind, in my left arm.
I am a goldsmith and I have always been interested in piercing and tattooing, I got (or rather made) my first needle-tattoo at the age of 11 and my first piercing was a "home made" 3mm thick 24K gold ring through my penis tree years later (I still have it).
How, do you wonder, does this go together and how does it conserne the members of BME? Well already the next day, in the hospital I got the idea to put a gold rod through the "piercing" in my left arm. The wound is approximately 10cm long, and goes through the biceps. It begins on the inside of the arm and exits approximately 5cm up, on the front of my arm, in level with my nipples. For those who know something about guns (I do) I can say that it was probably a 22. at point blank so the hole was small and rather straight.
I got out of hospital the next day, and after all the calling around and saying I was ok (I was-they gave me morphine) I was ready to try a little experiment. It wasn't an easy decision, but I figured, the bullet had already passed through, so what harm could I do? I selected a 3mm stainless steel rod, rounded one end and polished it (I spent 2 houres doing it, due to my condition) I slowly and in a state of almost religious exaltation, pushed the rod through. It was something of an anticlimax. I didn't feel a thing, except for a slight stretching of the skin when the tip exited. It should hurt some!
I pulled the rod out and immediately I had to put on some bandages. the table I was working by was soaking wet with blood.
Later on that day I rang my father who is a doctor and talked to him about many things but when we were to hang up I decided to ask him what he had to say about my "idea". He was not thrilled about it. He told me of infection and he told me that it might stop the heling and he also told me something that I hadn't thought of before, namely that I might get a strange look or two from doctors, polices and other official people that might want to see my wound.
I did think about what he had told me...for etleast ten seconds, then I started to design the jewellery I wanted. after lots of thinking and drawing I decided to use a simple rod with screw-on ball (lots of dirty word there), attleast for starters.
I waited with the permanent placement for a few days so that the doctors would be done white me and the nurses would let me put on the bandages my self. I made the necessary measurements and manufactured the piece of 3mm 14karat gold, soldered the screw and ball on and 24k gold-plated both parts. I polished it werry carefully to avoid scratches that bacteria could "root" in.
At this time the morphine had stopped working and my arm was pretty damned sore so I figured that I would feel more this time. I did. A lot more. The hole had shrunk surprisingly, but I got it through.
It was not at all easy to screw on the boll securely, I only had one hand. Ever tried to screw a nut on a bolt that just keeps turning? Well, when I was done white that and had rubbed off the blood I carefully tried to bend the arm. I could do it, but not without trouble, it felt sort of stiff and very uncomfortable. I figured that it could be due to swelling of the muscle and that it would get better white time.
I looked in the mirror and it looked good! I could feel the boll on the inside of the arm, buy it was'nt disturbing. I have always liked heavy jewellery, piercing as well as "regular" and I could feel the extra weight in my arm, so all in all the happiness was near perfect.. as long as I didn't bend my arm.
I rolled on the bandages and started taking care of some other business.
Two days later my arm started to turn red, hot and swollen. I had got an infection in spite of all my rigorous precautions. To make a long and sad story short and sad, I removed the "stick" and called my dad who gave me a powerful antibiotic, told me that he had told me so but that he understood anyway.
Now all I have got is a nasty scar( or two to be exact ) but I am planing to make a tattoo of some sort around at least the upper scar, to mark this important event in my life.
I have been thinking of maybe having someone pierce the hole again but I doubt that I have the guts.
Finally, I apologise for my poor english, but it is'nt "my" language.

If displays of opulence are your thing, you might want to take a peek at Vanity's Fair's just-published photos of tech billionaire Sean Parker's elaborate medieval wedding. Highlights include flaxen-haired fairy-princess bride Alexandra Lemas, a nine-foot-tall wedding cake, Tolkeinsian costumes and Olivia Munn holding a bunny.
Other notable guests included Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, Gavin Newsom, MTV founder Bob Pittman, Emma Watson and California Attorney General Kamala Harris. Mark Zuckerberg didn't make it, although he was invited and said he regrets his absence.
"The Facebook Effect" author David Kirkpatrick wrote the accompanying account of the lavish "performance-art project," as Parker called it, that unfolded in the enchanted redwood forest of Big Sur, a breathless description of the who's-who-in-Hollywood guest list and decadent visual elements of the multimillion dollar affair (which, if you'll remember, stirred up a fair bit of controversy not long ago, starting with California Coastal Act permit violations).

Demi Moore might play the mother of two adorable (and fake) children in "The Joneses," but she's heading for the parental big time in her next role -- that of Miley Cyrus' screen mother.
Moore, 48, will start shooting "LOL" with Cyrus, 18, in July in a remake of the French film by the same name.
Speaking at "The Joneses" press day, Moore says her own children "definitely admire" Cyrus. And after their first face-to-face last week, Moore admitted she is becoming a fan, too.
"She's going to do an amazing job," said Moore. "She's extremely talented."
And there will be no need for extra parenting off the set, Moore added, because "(Miley) comes from a really solid family."

There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of the market's upward movement, but never take your eye off the downside
CHICAGO — Whenever there is an extended rally in the stock market, blazing lights go on in the heads of Main Street investors, signalling that it is time to join the party.
As the S&P 500 reached a five-year peak at the end of last week, on top of a 13% gain for the index last year, enthusiasm for stocks approached fever pitch. More than $55 billion in new cash flooded in to stock mutual and exchange-traded funds in January, according to TrimTabs Investment Research. That is the biggest monthly inflow on record, beating the previous record set in February 2000.
What to make of this exuberance? Investors are seeing a clearer horizon after the "fiscal cliff" came and went without hurting the market. Pending home sales took a dip in December, but were up nearly 7% for the year, according to the National Association of Realtors. Corporate earnings also look relatively strong, with earnings growth of 2.5% expected in the fourth quarter of last year, reports Factset Research. A renewed prospect of personal wealth is piggybacking this positive news.
But it may not last.
Main Street apparently has not received the message that more troubles for the U.S. economy and federal budget may lie ahead and derail the stock rally. While U.S. economic activity is generally rebounding, the economy actually contracted in December as government spending dipped, the Federal Reserve reported on Wednesday. It could recede even more if the planned sequester budget cuts go through.
That is why investing in the stock market should be less of an on-off switch and more of a dimmer. You can gradually ease in, making sure you are getting in the right way. It is all too easy to set yourself up for a fall again.
How do you temper risk while ensuring that you are not missing a rally? Stop looking at past returns and look at volatility instead. I like portfolios that spread out the risk, yet you always have to consider where your risk is concentrated. If you are a growth-oriented investor and have decades until retirement, then most of your risk is in stocks.
Income-oriented investors near or in retirement should be laser-focused on inflation, which hurts bond prices. When eyeing a greater portion of stocks, consider what it will do to your overall portfolio.
You can experiment with any number of portfolio planners online – every mutual fund company has them – that will show you expected ranges of returns and losses. But you may have to dig through the "risk" tabs on sites like Morningstar or Yahoo Finance to find volatility information – expressed as standard deviations, which generally cover a three-, five- and 10-year period, if available. I prefer the five-year measure because it includes the 2008 meltdown.
Standard deviation numbers are not perfect gauges of risk, but they give you some idea on how much prices can vary. They are pretty simple to read: The higher they are, the riskier the asset in terms of how much the price can fluctuate. Generally, a benchmark like the S&P 500 index ranges from 15 to 19 over the past half decade. Broad-based bond index funds are almost always under 5.
Here is a template portfolio of five funds to hold, originally suggested by David Swensen of Yale University with a minor alternation (I have dropped an overlapping non-U.S. stock fund):
- Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF, 19.74 (standard deviation)
- Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF, 29.41
- Vanguard REIT Index ETF, 32.71
- iShares Core Total US Bond Market ETF, 3.62
- iShares Barclays TIPs, 7.32
Notice how low the volatility is for the bond funds, which are five-year measures through 2012. That should be your fail-safe in creating a portfolio. You can weight more toward the iShares funds if you are concerned about preserving capital: 40% in AGG, 20% in TIP and the rest divided among the stock funds. Disclosure: I hold AGG, VNQ and VTI in my portfolios.
Moderate-risk investors can flip the allocation to put 20% in each of the stock funds and the remainder in bonds. Aggressive investors can put 70 to 80% in stocks, although this would clearly be the riskiest portfolio mix and one most likely to lose the greatest amount of money in a downturn.
Those who are extra-cautious or especially concerned about inflation should consider adding to the mix the SPDR Gold Trust , which tracks spot gold prices, at 10% of the portfolio. You would reduce the holdings in one or both of the bond funds to make way for the gold ETF.
At the very least, take a close look at the risk concentration you set up. Historical volatility is highest for stocks of real estate investment trusts – represented by the Vanguard REIT Index – and emerging markets. So in the event of a broad sell-off, these two funds may take the biggest hits.
There is nothing wrong with taking advantage of the market's upward movement, but never take your eye off the downside. When the lights go off, you will still need to find your way home.

Rising sea a threat to riverside homes
WATER will swamp homes and businesses from Haberfield to Homebush as rising sea levels inundate the Parramatta River foreshore over the next century, a new analysis shows.
The findings are critical as valuable river frontage becomes increasingly urbanised and former industrial sites are redeveloped into housing.
Even under a limited sea level rise of 0.4 metres, predicted by 2050, the area of riverside land submerged every year would increase by 450 per cent on current levels.
Once the sea level rises to 0.9 metres, which is forecast by the end of the century, residential land in the lower estuary, which covers suburbs including Haberfield, Rodd Point and Drummoyne, could be inundated annually.
More homes at Haberfield and Drummoyne and residential land at Canada Bay and Meadowbank could be engulfed every 100 years, on average.
Water would also threaten industrial land at Homebush Bay, Homebush, Rydalmere and Rosehill, golf courses at Five Dock and Concord, roads at Chiswick, open space at Lilyfield and parks in other suburbs.
The report by consultants Cardno, presented to Parramatta Council late last month, is believed to be the first such coastal hazard assessment of the Parramatta River estuary.
It is based on United Nations sea level forecasts previously used by councils to map hazard areas. Those benchmarks were dumped by the O'Farrell government in September, prompting criticism that the new policy would confuse councils trying to manage climate change effects.
The report shows 1180 lots are at risk of inundation once a year. This would jump to 2270 lots under a 0.9-metre sea level rise.
As well as damaging land and buildings, inundation could affect the estuarine ecology, disrupt the stormwater network and cause economic loss and "human injury or stress", the report said.
It could also render parks and open space unviable for public use and restrict emergency vehicle access.
The findings are part of a broader draft plan to guide future management of the estuary, which recommended restriction of new foreshore developments in areas at risk of inundation, stormwater network upgrades and a more co-ordinated strategic planning approach.
Eight councils and at least eight government agencies have responsibility for the river, complicating efforts to manage climate change impacts.
The report showed significant inundation could occur at Wentworth Point, near Homebush Bay, part of which is zoned for homes.
A spokesman for the Planning Department said it considered sea level rise when assessing approved residential development, including building setback and the location of basements and ground floors.
The analysis also revealed inundation would be likely on residential land at Rhodes. A spokeswoman for Canada Bay Council said the images depicted the land before remediation was complete, and it was now "well above the sea level".
The Sydney Coastal Councils Group chief executive, Geoff Withycombe, said funding for councils to assess hazards posed by sea level rise was inadequate.
"As land becomes more and more scarce we are increasingly pushing development into hazardous areas, and that's a real concern," he said.
More sophisticated flooding and inundation maps would give councils "more evidence and justification to restrict development" and ensure appropriate dwellings were built on vulnerable land, he said.
A former chairman of the Coastal Council of NSW and member of the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, Bruce Thom, said theParramatta River was less vulnerable to sea level rise than other NSW waterways with larger catchments and more low-lying land.

KENT, Ohio (AP) Randal Holt scored 17 points and hit five treys to become Kent State's career 3-point leader as the Golden Flashes defeated Eastern Michigan 77-62 Saturday night, snapping a four-game losing streak.
Holt's fifth 3-pointer, No. 211, came with 11:34 remaining, pushing him ahead of Trevor Huffman (1998-2002) on Kent State's all-time list. He shot 5 of 10 for the game.
The Golden Flashes (12-10, 3-5 Mid-American Conference) made 37.5 percent from long range (9 of 24) against the Eagles' 2-3 zone, including 41.7 percent (5 of 12) in the second half.
Leading 32-26 at halftime, Kent State opened the second half with a 10-0 run, capped by back-to-back 3s by Holt, and eventually led by as many as 21.
Chris Evans added 15 points and Darren Goodson finished with 12 for the Golden Flashes.
Derek Thompson came off of the bench to score 17 points for Eastern Michigan (10-11, 3-4).

UBS reports 2006 result of CHF 12,257 million and fourth quarter result of CHF 3,407 million
Full-year 2006 - Net profit attributable to UBS shareholders of CHF 12,257 million, with CHF 11,491 million from continuing operations and CHF 766 million from discontinued operations - Financial businesses' attributable profit from continuing operations at a record CHF 11,249 million, up 19% from 2005 - Total UBS net new money at a record CHF 151.7 billion, with CHF 113.3 billion from wealth management businesses worldwide Fourth quarter 2006 - Fourth quarter attributable profit from continuing operations of CHF 3,145 million, up 19% from the same period a year earlier, with financial businesses contributing CHF 3,055 million, up 18% year-on-year - Total UBS net new money a strong CHF 25.5 billion, with CHF 21.7 billion inflow from wealth management businesses worldwide - Fourth quarter diluted EPS from continuing operations of CHF 1.54, up 20% from a year earlier. Cost/income ratio of 70.6%, down 0.3% from fourth quarter 2005 Dividend, share buyback - Proposed dividend payout of CHF 2.20 a share, up from CHF 1.60 a year earlier (adjusted for last year's 2-for-1 split and excluding the one-time par value repayment for the sale of Private Banks & GAM) - New three-year second line repurchase program with a maximum limit of 10% of shares issued, representing approximately CHF 16 billion at current share price level
Zurich/Basel, 13 February 2007 - UBS reports net profit attributable to shareholders of CHF 12,257 million in 2006. Continuing operations contributed CHF 11,491 million and discontinued operations CHF 766 million.
Financial businesses' attributable profit from continuing operations was a record CHF 11,249 million in 2006, up 19% from the same period a year earlier.
"We are pleased to report that 2006 was another record year for UBS. The performance of our financial businesses improved for the fourth consecutive year. Even more importantly, we took a number of strategic steps to expand and develop our business in line with our growth ambitions," said Peter Wuffli, Chief Executive Officer.
UBS realized four significant acquisitions in 2006, three of which have already been completed. They will close important competitive gaps and help accelerate growth, particularly with regard to Banco Pactual in Latin America. The results of all businesses improved notably in 2006 from a year earlier. Net new money from clients totaled CHF 151.7 billion, with CHF 113.3 billion contributed by the wealth management businesses, which experienced strong client flows all around the world, and particularly in Asia and Europe. As a result of the strong inflows and rising markets, invested assets nearly reached the CHF 3 trillion mark. Recurring fees, including asset-based revenues and income from private client lending businesses, were up significantly compared with 2005. Brokerage fees rose as well, reflecting the vigorous levels of financial market trading activity from institutional and private clients.
UBS's Investment Bank further expanded its share of M&A and equity capital markets, with particular success in large cap deals, emerging markets and technology. As a result, corporate finance and underwriting fees rose 25%. The strategic expansion of UBS's business, both by acquisition and through organic development, requires more people, infrastructure and investment, and although income rose 19%, costs were up 18%.
"We are acutely aware of the importance of concentrating extra resources in areas that generate or support increased revenues, and making sure that we do not allow any part of our business to develop inefficient habits," said Clive Standish, Chief Financial Officer.
Some of the increase in expenses came from two previously announced provisions; the settlement agreement with Sumitomo Corporation and the sublease of unused office space in New Jersey. Higher personnel costs, however, were the major contributor to increased expenses as, at the end of 2006, UBS employed 78,140 people, 8,571 more than a year earlier. Over 2,000 of the increase was from acquisitions completed during the year. UBS continued to hire client-facing personnel and functional specialists for its businesses all around the world. As a consequence, occupancy costs rose. Expenses for IT outsourcing, telecommunication and travel were up in conjunction with higher activity levels, business volume and revenue. Professional fees rose for strategic initiatives.
Fourth quarter results
In fourth quarter 2006, net profit attributable to UBS shareholders from continuing operations in the financial businesses was CHF 3,055 million, an 18% rise from the same period a year earlier.
As in the first two quarters of 2006, profits from continuing operations in the financial businesses exceeded CHF 3 billion.
In the quarter, income again expanded on the continued strong levels of asset-based revenues in the wealth and asset management businesses, reflecting sustained inflows of assets from clients and strengthening financial markets. Bond and equity underwriting fees grew. Trading revenues rose compared with both fourth quarter 2005 and third quarter 2006. The equities business benefited from increased commissions in the cash business, particularly in emerging markets, and overall revenues in fixed income, rates and currencies grew 11% compared with fourth quarter 2005.
The fourth quarter included one month of revenues from Pactual in Brazil. Its operations are being integrated into each of the business groups following the closing of the acquisition on 1 December. The business has been renamed UBS Pactual, and it is now the cornerstone of UBS's expanding Latin American presence. The acquisition of ABN AMRO's global futures and options business closed on 30 September. With its integration, fee revenues from exchange traded derivatives in fourth quarter 2006 have already doubled from a year earlier. Also in fourth quarter, UBS's new alternative investment management business, Dillon Read Capital Management (DRCM), launched its first outside investor fund, and began to contribute to the asset management business' revenues.
Dividend and new three year share buyback program
The dividend proposal for 2006 is an expression of the confidence UBS has in its future performance. The Board of Directors will propose that it raise the payout to CHF 2.20 a share in order to match the strong 2006 result. Subject to shareholder approval, this is a 16% increase from the total payout last year, which included a par value repayment of CHF 0.30 a share. It is also 38% higher than last year's regular dividend of CHF 1.60 a share.
In March 2007, UBS's seventh consecutive annual share buyback program will end. This will be succeeded by a new three-year second-line repurchase program with a maximum limit of 10% of shares issued. At the current share price, this would represent a maximum total of approximately CHF 16 billion. As in all past programs, the shares bought in this program will be canceled as and when approved by the Annual General Meeting (AGM). This underlines UBS's long-term approach to managing capital. The three-year period is an extended commitment showing its continued disciplined approach to shareholder returns. It also gives it the flexibility to deploy capital for its first priority - the growth of its business. UBS will both make further add-on acquisitions if appropriate opportunities arise and keep investing in the organic growth of its business.
UBS combines global scale and focus on growth in a unique way. Its businesses occupy strong market positions in those segments of the financial industry that are expected to grow significantly faster than the economy as a whole over the long term. In the short term, as the economic cycle matures, investors might become more sensitive to any disappointing political or economic developments, so UBS's top-class risk control remains paramount. However, for UBS, 2007 has started on a positive note, with a strong deal pipeline and continued investor confidence and activity. With a global presence that is balanced across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific, the building blocks of its growth strategy are firmly in place.
"Last year we made a highly concentrated number of acquisitions while investing heavily in organic growth. In 2007, our focus will be on integrating our new areas of activity and we expect to start seeing the benefits from them materializing for our clients and shareholders," said Peter Wuffli.
Performance against targets
UBS focuses on four key performance indicators, designed to ensure the delivery of continuously improving returns to shareholders. All are calculated based on results from continuing operations. The first two, return on equity and diluted earnings per share, are based on the results of the entire firm. The cost/income ratio and net new money indicators are limited to the financial businesses. On this basis, performance indicators in fourth quarter 2006 show:
return on equity for full-year 2006 at 26.4%, down from 27.6% a year earlier, but well above UBS's target of a 20% minimum over the cycle. The decrease relates to the higher average equity base driven by strong retained earnings, only partially offset by higher attributable net profit.
diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of CHF 1.54, up 20% or CHF 0.26 from CHF 1.28 in the same quarter a year earlier, reflecting the increase in net profit and a 1% reduction in the average number of shares outstanding as a result of further share buybacks.
an overall cost/income ratio of the financial businesses of 69.7% in 2006, its lowest level ever for a full year and a quarterly cost/income ratio in the financial businesses of 70.6%, slightly improved from 70.9% in the same quarter last year. Income increased on higher revenues from trading activities and net fee and commission income. Costs rose, mainly on higher personnel expenses and increased general and administrative expenses related to the expansion of UBS's business and investments in support of further growth. In 2006, UBS added over 8,500 employees in areas where it sees long-term strategic opportunities. Of the total increase, over 2,000 were from the acquisitions of Pactual, the ABN AMRO global futures and options business, and Piper Jaffray.
UBS's net new money in full-year 2006 was at a record CHF 151.7 billion, driven by higher inflows in the international wealth management business (up CHF 26.6 billion) and from institutional clients in the asset management business (up CHF 8.5 billion). This, however, was partially offset by lower inflows from wholesale intermediary clients (down CHF 20.8 billion) and the US wealth management business (down CHF 11.2 billion). Net new money in fourth quarter 2006 was CHF 25.5 billion, down from a record fourth quarter of CHF 31.1 billion a year earlier. The wealth management units recorded inflows of CHF 21.7 billion this quarter, up from CHF 19.7 billion in fourth quarter 2005. Inflows in the international and Swiss wealth management business rose by CHF 5.8 billion to CHF 19.0 billion, mainly driven by inflows from Asia and the Americas. Net new money in European wealth management was CHF 1.8 billion in fourth quarter 2006, down from CHF 3.7 billion in fourth quarter 2005, as higher asset gathering in Italy and France was more than offset by smaller inflows in other European countries. Inflows into the domestic wealth management business in the US were CHF 2.7 billion in fourth quarter, down from CHF 6.5 billion a year earlier and 3.4 billion in third quarter. Although the result was lower, the inflow of net new money compared favorably with peers in terms of the growth rate relative to the asset base. The asset management business saw inflows fall to CHF 5.5 billion, down from CHF 10.9 billion a year earlier. Institutional clients reported CHF 5.2 billion in new inflows, mainly driven by contributions from alternative and quantitative and fixed income investments, partly offset by outflows in some equity capabilities. The wholesale intermediary business saw an inflow of CHF 0.3 billion, down from inflows of CHF 6.6 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, mainly due to outflows in equities and fixed income.
Invested assets
Invested assets, benefiting from rising financial markets, totaled CHF 2,989 billion on 31 December 2006, up 4% from 30 September 2006.
Results from the Financial Businesses
Global Wealth Management & Business Banking
Full-year 2006 pre-tax profit for the International and Swiss wealth management businesses, at a record CHF 5,203 million, rose 25% compared with 2005. Pre-tax profit was CHF 1,418 million in fourth quarter 2006, up 16% from third quarter 2006. Total operating income, at CHF 2,813 million in fourth quarter 2006, increased 8% from third quarter 2006. Recurring income rose, benefiting from the higher asset base and increased collateralized lending. Non-recurring income improved on higher client activity levels.
Operating expenses were CHF 1,395 million in fourth quarter 2006, up 1% from third quarter 2006. Personnel expenses eased CHF 6 million to CHF 755 million in fourth quarter 2006 from third quarter 2006 after the final fixing of bonus accruals in fourth quarter, which more than offset the increase in staff. General and administrative expenses were CHF 240 million, up CHF 16 million from third quarter on higher travel and entertainment expenses in support of continued business expansion.
In full-year 2006, pre-tax profit for the US wealth management business was CHF 582 million compared with CHF 312 million in 2005. In US dollar terms, performance in 2006 was up 86% from 2005. Because this business is almost entirely conducted in US dollars, comparisons of results with prior periods are affected by the movements of the US dollar against the Swiss franc. Performance in 2006 benefited from record levels of recurring income, and lower litigation provisions.
In fourth quarter 2006, pre-tax profit was CHF 174 million, up from CHF 43 million in third quarter. Total operating income in fourth quarter 2006 was CHF 1,582 million. In US dollar terms, operating income was 13% higher than in third quarter. This reflected a record level of recurring income driven by higher asset levels in managed account offerings.
Full-year pre-tax profit in Business Banking Switzerland was a record CHF 2,356 million in 2006, 8% above the result achieved in 2005. This was mainly due to income growth.
In fourth quarter 2006, pre-tax profit was CHF 597 million. Net interest income, which increased CHF 37 million to CHF 857 million in fourth quarter 2006, partly reflected increased private client mortgage volumes. Non-interest income fell to CHF 407 million in fourth quarter 2006 from CHF 434 million a quarter earlier due to a decrease in fee and trading income.
Over the course of 2006, the unit transferred CHF 8.2 billion in client assets to the international and Swiss wealth management business, as a result of the development of client relationships.
Global Asset Management
Full-year 2006 pre-tax profit was CHF 1,392 million, up from CHF 1,057 million a year earlier. Compared with 2005, the increase reflects higher management fees in all businesses and alternative and quantitative investments' performance fees.
Pre-tax profit in fourth quarter 2006 was CHF 400 million, an increase of 41% compared with third quarter 2006. The improvement reflected strong performance fees in alternative and quantitative investments and higher management fees across the business as financial markets rose. In addition, DRCM recorded performance-based revenues from its first outside investor fund launched in November 2006. Incentive-based compensation rose with increased revenues. General and administrative expenses were up, in particular due to the investments made for the global portfolio management platform.
Investment Bank
Pre-tax profit was a record CHF 5,943 million in 2006, and up 15% from 2005. This result was driven by strong revenues in equities, investment banking and fixed income, rates and currencies.
In fourth quarter 2006, all businesses posted a solid result, with pre-tax profit at CHF 1,356 million, almost flat from the same period last year. Total operating income in fourth quarter 2006 was CHF 5,602 million, up 22% from fourth quarter 2005.
The equities business reported revenues of CHF 2,545 million in fourth quarter 2006, up 33% from the same period in 2005. Overall, cash equity revenues were higher, with the quarter benefiting from positive market conditions generating strong revenues in emerging markets. Equity capital markets and exchange-traded derivatives revenues each more than doubled, the latter boosted by the impact of the acquisition of ABN AMRO's global futures and options business.
Fixed income, rates and currencies revenues were CHF 2,018 million in fourth quarter 2006, up 11% from the same quarter a year ago. Revenues in the rates business increased, with particular strength in derivatives and mortgage-backed securities. Compared with last year, the credit businesses delivered a very strong result with significant revenue increases in investment grade and all emerging market trading regions as well as in primary and syndicated finance due to increased levels of market activity. The business activities managed by DRCM on behalf of the Investment Bank recorded a decline in revenues in fourth quarter compared with the same period a year earlier on weaker trading performance. Foreign exchange and cash and collateral trading revenues for the quarter were lower than a year earlier. While the Investment Bank incurred losses in precious metals derivatives trading, base metals positively affected results as it continued to grow the business.
Investment banking revenues, at an all time record of CHF 1,015 million in fourth quarter 2006, were up 19% from fourth quarter 2005, with increases in all regions. The debt and equity capital markets groups reported considerable gains over the prior year. The leveraged finance franchise continued to grow, demonstrating strengthened commitment to this part of the business. Revenues from the advisory business also increased compared with the same period last year, as clients took advantage of strategic opportunities.
Total operating expenses in fourth quarter 2006 were CHF 4,246 million, up 32% on the same period last year. Personnel expenses were CHF 2,818 million, up 22% from a year earlier, reflecting higher accruals for cash bonuses, in line with higher revenues as well as increases in salaries driven by higher staff levels. Share-based compensation in fourth quarter was up 23% from the same period a year earlier as a result of higher deferred compensation in 2006, and the increased fair value of options granted in 2006 - driven by the rise in UBS's share price.
General and administrative expenses increased by 48% to CHF 996 million in fourth quarter 2006. IT and other outsourcing costs as well as professional fees rose, driven by higher project spending in support of future business growth in fixed income, prime brokerage and emerging markets. Administration and occupancy expenses and, to a lesser extent, travel and entertainment costs increased. The rise in expenses was also due to higher legal provisions.
Market risk for the Investment Bank, measured by the average Value at Risk or VaR (10-day, 99% confidence, 5 years of historical data), decreased to CHF 391 million in fourth quarter 2006 from CHF 453 million in third quarter. The lower average reflected a reduction in risk at the end of the previous quarter which was maintained for the first two months of this quarter. From 1 December 2006, VaR limits were increased for the Investment Bank to CHF 775 million from CHF 650 million, and for UBS to CHF 850 million from CHF 750 million. These increases reflect the integration of Pactual and expected business growth in 2007.

Actress Liv Tyler is teaming up her Spacehog frontman ex Royston Langdon and pal Sean Lennon to stage a rooftop concert in New York on Wednesday evening to raise cash for charity.
Langdon and his bandmates and Lennon will perform at the pay-per-view webcast to benefit the David Lynch Foundation's First Responders Initiative.
The rocker and Tyler, who are devotees of the foundation's Transcendental Meditation techniques, will perform an original song, titled "You Can't Go Home Again" as part of the show.
Langdon says, "We are beyond thrilled to be performing a benefit for the great David Lynch's Foundation and the First Responders Initiative. I thank the very special performers Liv Tyler, Sean Lennon, Charlotte Kemp Muhl and of course the members of Spacehog. We all share a belief in peace and transformation and share our performance with our fans on behalf of these incredibly brave men and women."
Filmmaker and meditation guru David Lynch, whose charity will pick up proceeds from the rooftop gig, adds, "I'm so happy that Royston, Spacehog, Sean, Charlotte, and Liv are beaming their sounds to your computer! It's such a beautiful thing to share the power of music."

Societe Generale, France's No. 2 listed bank, is exploring the sale of its Asia private banking arm, people familiar with the matter told Reuters, seeking to exit a market where small managers are getting hit by rising costs and competition.
The Singapore-based division could fetch around $600 million, the people familiar said, though the actual sale price has yet to be determined and may exceed that figure. The sources declined to be identified as the discussions are confidential.
A Paris-based spokeswoman for SocGen declined comment.
SocGen is the third major global financial institution to seek to sell its Asian wealth arm in the last five years, as the region's surging tide of millionaires and billionaires have posed a challenge to smaller private banks, which lack the asset base to compete with large global players and local upstarts.
According to the 2013 Capgemini/RBC Wealth Report, Asia Pacific is expected to be the region with the world's biggest population of high net worth individuals by next year. Asia's high net worth individuals – a term used to describe people with more than $1 million of investable assets – hold $12 trillion in assets, just shy of North America's total.
While Asia is among the fastest growing regions in the world for individual wealth, its millionaires and billionaires tend to offer small chunks of their riches to many wealth managers, rather than picking one to preserve over time.
That goes counter to the pattern in the U.S. and Europe where private bank clients tend to hand over their money to the managers for the long haul. Private bankers in Asia often remark that because the money they receive is usually first or second generation wealth, they act more like brokers than private bankers – an arrangement that can be costly.
Standard Chartered Bank plc, Singapore's United Overseas Bank Ltd and DBS Group Holding Ltd are among the companies that may express interest in the business, according to the people familiar with the matter.
All three banks declined to comment.
Although SocGen does not break out country details for the private bank, the Asia business may account for around 10 billion euros to 12 billion euros of assets under management, according to Jean-Pierre Lambert, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods.
The potential sale of its Asian private bank would be the next step in a series of initiatives the French bank has taken to cut costs and boost profits.
The French bank is restructuring its asset-gathering operations after recently combining them with its corporate and investment bank under Didier Valet.
SocGen earlier this year sold its Japan private bank to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp for an undisclosed sum.
Bank of America Corp last year sold its Asia and other non-U.S. private banking business to Julius Baer for 860 million Swiss franc ($911 million). ING Groep offloaded its Asian private bank to Singapore's Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp in late 2009 for $1.5 billion.
One factor leading to private bank consolidation in Asia is competition. Barclays said in a research note on Monday that 15 private banks have opened in Asia since 2009, bringing the total to 45. Another is the growing separation between the big and smaller players in the field.
The world's top 5 private banks have around 50 percent of assets under management in the industry, according to consulting firm Scorpio Partnership, showing how the industry is consolidated around a few top players.
UBS and Citigroup for example, both manage over $200 billion each in Asia-Pacific.
In Asia, the fastest growth is in the lower-to middle end of the wealth management market rather than so-called ultra high net worth individuals, whose numbers contracted in China last year thanks to the economic slowdown according to the Wealth-X and UBS World Ultra Wealth Report.
That trend serves the bigger banks with the scale to serve the mass affluent high net worth, rather than the ultra-rich high end of the market targeted by more niche firms.
OCBC paid a net multiple of 5.8 percent for ING's Asian private bank, which was managing $16 billion when the deal was announced in late 2009, allowing the Singapore lender to triple its private banking assets.
The sale of SocGen's private bank in Asia, one of only a few managing more than $10 billion, is expected to attract suitors ranging from global lenders to major regional banks in Asia, people familiar with the matter said.

Vic Mizzy, 93,"Addams Family" & "Green Acres" themes,croaks
Posted: Oct 20, 2009 7:38 am
Vic Mizzy dies at 93; film and TV composer wrote 'Addams Family' theme
He also composed the theme music for the 1965-71 rural comedy 'Green
By Dennis McLellan
6:42 PM PDT, October 19, 2009
Vic Mizzy, a film and television composer best known for writing the
memorable theme songs for the 1960s sit-coms "Green Acres" and "The
Addams Family," has died. He was 93.
Mizzy died of heart failureSaturday at his home in Bel-Air, said Scott
Harper, a friend and fellow composer.
A veteran writer of popular songs such as "There's a Faraway Look in
Your Eye" and "Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes," Mizzy launched his TV career
in 1960 when he was asked to compose music for the dramatic anthology
series "Moment of Fear."
He quickly moved on to score episodes of "Shirley Temple's Storybook"
and "The Richard Boone Show" and to write the themes for "Klondike"
and the Dennis Weaver series "Kentucky Jones."
Then came an offbeat assignment: the 1964-66 TV series based on
Charles Addams' macabre magazine cartoons and starring John Astin as
Gomez Addams and Carolyn Jones as his wife, Morticia.
For his theme song, Mizzy played a harpsichord, which gives the theme
its unique flavor. And because Filmways refused to pay for singers,
Mizzy sang it himself and overdubbed it three times. The song,
memorably punctuated by finger-snapping, begins with: "They're creepy
and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're altogether ooky: the
Addams family."
In the 1996 book "TV's Biggest Hits: The Story of Television Themes
From 'Dragnet' to 'Friends,' " author Jon Burlingame writes that
Mizzy's "musical conception was so specific that he became deeply
involved with the filming of the main-title sequence, which involved
all seven actors snapping their fingers in carefully timed rhythm to
Mizzy's music."
For Mizzy, who owned the publishing rights to "The Addams Family"
theme, it was an easy payday.
"I sat down; I went 'buh-buh-buh-bump [snap-snap], buh-buh-buh-bump,"
he recalled in a 2008 interview on CBS' "Sunday Morning" show. "That's
why I'm living in Bel-Air: Two finger snaps and you live in Bel-Air."
The season after "The Addams Family" made its debut, Mizzy composed
the title song for "Green Acres," the 1965-71 rural comedy starring
Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor.
For "Green Acres," Burlingame observed in his book, Mizzy "again
conceived the title song as intertwined with the visuals" of the
show's opening title sequence and telling the story of wealthy Oliver
and Lisa Douglas moving from New York City to a farm in the country.
Burlingame on Monday described the themes for "The Addams Family" and
"Green Acres" as "two of the best-remembered sitcom themes of all
"Vic was an old-school songwriter who believed in melody and
humability," Burlingame said. "He thought that people ought to be able
to easily remember a theme.
"Vic was one of the wittiest composers I ever met, and he had an
uncanny ability to incorporate his own personal sense of humor into
his music."
Mizzy's use of bass harmonica and fuzz guitar in the music of "Green
Acres," for example, "was somehow perfect for that show's setting, and
it only added to the humor of the situations," Burlingame said.
In the case of "The Addams Family," he said, "you've got the
harpsichord, which lends this antique, sort of macabre quality to the
theme. But then you add the lyrics, which make it funny. So you have
the perfect combination of macabre and amusing. It was just right for
that show's sensibility."
Mizzy's many TV credits include writing the themes for Phyllis
Diller's 1966-67 sitcom "The Pruitts of Southampton" and "The Don
Rickles Show" (1968-69), for which Mizzy also conducted the orchestra.
Among his movie credits as a composer are the Don Knotts comedies "The
Ghost and Mr. Chicken," "The Reluctant Astronaut," "The Shakiest Gun
in the West," "The Love God?" and "How to Frame a Figg."
Born in Brooklyn on Jan. 9, 1916, Mizzy learned to play the piano as a
child. While he was a student at New York University, he and his
friend Irving Taylor began writing songs and sketches for variety
They appeared on radio's "Major Bowes' Original Amateur Hour" and won
an amateur contest on the Fred Allen show. The team's first published
song was "Your Heart Rhymes with Mine."
Mizzy, who served four years in the Navy during World War II, had a
number of hits with Taylor, including "Three Little Sisters" and "Take
It Easy." Under a later partnership with Mann Curtis, Mizzy had hits
such as "My Dreams Are Getting Better All the Time," "The Whole World
Is Singing My Song" and "The Jones Boy."
Mizzy is survived by his daughter Lynn Mizzy Jonas; his brother Sol;
and two grandchildren.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. today at Eden Memorial Park,
11500 Sepulveda Blvd., Mission Hills.

Things did not go exactly according to plan for Real Salt Lake, Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando on Friday night.
Oh, RSL got a much-needed, 2-1 win over New England. And Beckerman and Rimando, who returned to Utah from Brazil on Thursday after a month-and-a-half with the U.S. Men's National Team, surprised a lot of people by starting and playing all 90 minutes.
But that was not the plan.
"We were hoping for, like, a 3-0 win," Beckerman told reporters, with an eye toward being subbed out "around the 60th minute."
"But I told [RSL Coach Jeff Cassar] I'd be ready for 90 minutes if I had to go."
The coach was not expecting his team captain or his No. 1 goalkeeper to be on the field against the Revolution. A day before the pair landed in Salt Lake City, he said the two would "probably not" see action.
"When I was saying that, I was hoping for one thing," Cassar told reporters. "My heart was telling me another thing. My gut was telling me another thing. But once I talked to both of them and was able to hear their voices and feel that they wanted to be [in the game] — not that they had to be — it was a no-brainer."
Rimando told reporters that when he spoke to Cassar on a layover in Atlanta, "His first words to me were, 'There's no pressure at all to play. And my answer to him was, 'I'll let you know when I land.'"
He said he "felt great" when he landed in Salt Lake City on Thursday afternoon and the decision was made on Friday morning to play.
"I think Jeff wanted us to go," Beckerman said. "And we've been gone for a while. We missed the guys. We missed playing in front of our home crowd. That was a big part of it – we wanted to get back out there."
"We pretty much had the same mindset going into this game — we wanted to play, We passed that on to Jeff."
Beckerman started and played every minute of the USMNT's three group-stage games in Brazil before he was inexplicably left out of the lineup in the loss to Belgium.
"I was surprised," he said, "and disappointed that I wasn't able to be out there and help the team. I guess the biggest thing I could do was just try to be a positive part of the team. You can't pout."
Rimando, on the other hand, was the No. 3 goalkeeper and didn't ever get on the field during a game.
"For me, I haven't played a game for a while. I had a different role down there," he said. "I wanted to get back. I was itching to get on the field."
Although both men admitted to some reservations about the quick turn-around.
"It was definitely a first," Beckerman said. "I've never taken an overnight flight on Wednesday, get in Thursday and have a game Friday. I didn't really know how I was feeling."
Except that, maybe, he wanted RSL to get a big lead so he could be subbed off at about the 60th minute.
"That was the plan," Cassar confirmed. "That was definitely the plan."

Dozens still missing after boat sinks in Indonesia
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Rescuers battled strong currents and high waves Saturday while searching for dozens of people missing and feared dead one day after a boat carrying asylum seekers sank off the coast of Indonesia's main island of Java, killing at least 21 people.
The boat capsized and sank in waters off West Java's Sukabumi district after being hit by high waves Friday. Survivors said about 100 people were aboard the vessel.
Twenty-eight people were rescued and taken to the Sukabumi immigration office for identification, Brig. Gen. Tatang Zainudin, the National Search and Rescue Agency's operation chief, said by phone from the scene. Among those rescued were three Lebanese nationals who were found early Saturday after being stranded on an island about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from where the boat sank, Zainudin said.
He said 21 bodies were pulled from the water Friday afternoon, including seven children.
A helicopter and more than a dozen boats were being used Saturday to search for about 35 people believed to be missing, but strong currents and high waves were hampering the operation, Zainudin said.
"We fear those who are still missing were unable to survive," he said.
There were conflicting reports about the exact number of people on the boat due to the lack of a manifest, but some survivors told officials that about 100 asylum seekers from Lebanon, Pakistan and Iraq were believed to be aboard, said a local police chief, Lt. Col. Deddy Kusuma Bakti.
Survivors said the boat was headed for Australia's Christmas Island. Scores of people from war-torn countries use Indonesia as a transit point every year, boarding rickety fishing boats bound for Christmas Island, located 500 kilometers (310 miles) south of Indonesia's capital, Jakarta.
Lebanon's official National News Agency said 17 Lebanese drowned in the incident. Nine members of a single family were among the Lebanese victims, with a woman and her eight children dying and her husband surviving, the agency reported.
The boat capsized and sank after being hit by up to 6-meter (19-foot) waves hours after leaving Sukabumi early Friday, Zainudin said.
Australian Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Scott Morrison said in a statement that authorities had received a call Friday morning saying the boat was believed to be about 25 nautical miles off Indonesia's coast. He said Australian authorities then notified their Indonesian counterparts. Australia also put out an all-ships broadcast, and a merchant ship responded but was unable to locate the boat. A Border Protection Command aircraft also was unable to find the vessel.
"Any loss of life is tragic and this latest incident again reflects the dangers of people smuggling," the statement said.
The incident came ahead of new Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott's first visit to Indonesia next week. He is expected to meet with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Indonesia has said that the Australian navy's plan to intercept and force back Indonesian fishing boats crowded with asylum seekers could breach Indonesian sovereignty.

The owners of a chain of landmark pizza shops on the New Jersey shore have been arrested on federal tax evasion charges that alleged they concealed nearly $1 million from the IRS.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Charles "Chuck" Bangle and his wife Mary Bangle will appear in federal court in Camden at 2 p.m. Thursday to face the charges on the 30-count indictment.
Authorities say they skimmed money from the pizza shops when they worked there from 2007 until they bought them in 2011 and that they also concealed their income.
Charles, 54, and Mary, 53, were arrested Thursday morning at their Somers Point home.
The couple owns the four of the incredibly popular Manco and Manco pizza shops. Three of the locations are on the Ocean City Boardwalk and are sites of ritual meals for visitors and politicians making campaign stops.
The shops had been known as Mack and Manco until they dropped the "Mack" name in 2011 in recognition that the founding families had split long ago.
Both Bangles face one count of conspiracy to evade income taxes, five counts of income tax evasion and one count of making false statements to the IRS, according to federal prosecutors. Charles Bangle also faces 23 counts structuring transactions to avoid reporting.
In a 25-page indictment unsealed Thursday, prosecutors lay out the case against the Bangles.
"Between 2007 and 2011, Charles and Mary Bangle skimmed large sums of cash from the business. Charles Bangle deposited significant amounts of that cash into their personal bank account at TD Bank in amounts less than $10,000, the amount which triggers a Currency Transaction Report from financial institutions to the U.S. Department of Treasury," said prosecutors in a press release.
Prosecutors said that during that time Charles handled day-to-day operations of the business while Mary took care of handling cash and payroll.
"The Bangles then used the money to pay for personal expenditures.
