U.S. securities regulators charged a Wells Fargo investment banker and nine others with fraud on Wednesday in connection with their alleged role in an insider-trading ring that earned more than $11 million by trading on tips about impending mergers.
The Securities and Exchange Commission said that John Femenia, 30, misused his position at a unit of Wells Fargo to obtain material, non-public information about four different mergers involving clients.
The SEC said Femenia then tipped his friend, Shawn Hegedus, a registered broker-dealer. The SEC says the two then tipped other friends, resulting in a "massive, serial insider-trading ring" that spread across five states.
The SEC said it has already obtained a court order to freeze the defendants' assets.
"Here you have an investment banker who clearly knew better that inside information can't form the basis of trading decisions," said William Hicks, associate director for enforcement in the SEC's Atlanta Regional Office.
"Instead, he basically started a phone tree of nonpublic information to enrich friends and others."
According to the SEC's complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Femenia is still employed in the Wells Fargo New York office with the Industrials Investment Banking Group. Previously, he worked in the North Carolina office.
A spokeswoman for Wells Fargo said the bank had just learned about the allegations against Femenia on Tuesday and immediately placed him on leave, adding that the bank was "assisting and fully cooperating with the SEC and other agencies.
"Wells Fargo has detailed policies and training programs on the handling of confidential information, and we have a zero-tolerance policy for the misuse of such information," the spokeswoman said.
Hegedus, 31, was previously employed by brokerages John Thomas Financial, and more recently, Gradient Securities LLC, until April 2012.
Attempts to reach Femenia and Hegedus were unsuccessful, and the SEC said there is no known defense counsel at this time.
The other defendants named in the SEC's civil complaint include friends of Femenia and Hegedus, as well as the father of one of Femenia's friends, who live in states ranging from California to Florida and South Carolina.
Two companies with ties to Hegedus and his girlfriend were also named as defendants in the SEC's lawsuit.
The SEC said Femenia was able to profit from stock and options trades in companies that were being acquired, and that "at least one trader provided a portion of his profits to Femenia in exchange for the information," according to an SEC press release.

Sony Debuts Enhanced LCD Business Projectors at InfoComm
Sony Debuts Enhanced LCD Business Projectors at InfoComm
Jun 15, 2006 8:00 AM
Sony has unveiled an array of LCD business projectors designed for use in several markets, including education, healthcare, government, and houses of worship.
Sony's family of business projectors incorporates a variety of features, such as low fan noise so presentations can be easily heard, low power consumption, high brightness, and multiple input connections.
The projectors use a three-LCD panel system to produce natural and bright images. The images reproduced are gentle on the eyes without causing color break-up, also known as the "rainbow effect." Three-LCD technology's full light processing allows for high light efficiency but also true expression of intermediate colors so users can enjoy lifelike reproduction of dark and shadow sections.
"Our LCD projector lineup starts with entry-level models and portable units for road warriors and elevates to higher-end installed models with rich networking capabilities," says John Kaloukian, director of marketing for Sony Electronics' professional display group. "We have a range of projectors to fit every need, and within that range, we also have a diverse combination of features."

The one thing I would recommend is using Perlick faucets. Seems the cheaper ones tend to stick. Well worth the extra couple bucks. I bought this, http://www.williamsbrewing.com/PERLICK-FORWARD-SEAL-FAUCET-WITH-SHANK-P1476.aspx. All I had to do was drill hole in door for the shank, then remove the picnic tap from the hose, and clap hose to nipple. Done and done. I also got another temp controller for my kegerator. http://titaniumbrewing.com/?p=207
Heres the rig:
Very nice! Looks just like my Sanyo 4912. Coming close on getting rid of the cobra taps and doing as you've done.
Too many things to do, not enough time...

Our Top Ten Blog Posts by Readership in 2012
Originally published on August 28, 2012
Donor agency X has had a long history of working in Country A. Since the 1970s, the donor agency adapted its projects to be more participatory and has never looked back. Before starting a new project in the country, a project officer from the donor agency researched into international best practices, organized consultations in the country, and put together an action plan with the indicators to measure results. The project is now ready to be launched.
The donor agency works through a national NGO to organize the first community meeting in village B to start the project. The village is selected because it is close enough to the capital city but far away enough to be considered rural. (It turns out that this village is often selected for pilot projects.) The community is invited to a meeting in one of the village's schools. On the day of the meeting, the room is filled with some familiar faces. The party leader, a local landowner, the school head teacher and even the factory boss are in attendance. The room looks fairly full, the discussion is active for the most part, and promises are made by all to keep the momentum going for the 3-year span of the project.
Perhaps the project officer is pleased with the turnout. Or he may ask himself, "where was the real community? The poorest of the poor? The youth? The women?" He may worry that the meeting did not include those in the community stand to benefit the most from the project. This scenario and the project officer's ensuing dilemma is so common that it is typical fodder for this cynical but extremely funny aid workers blog. In fact, when development workers attempt to include the participation of the community into their projects, expectations of what the project and the community can jointly achieve are usually sky high. But in the long run, do these types of projects lead to empowered communities and less poverty or is it just a downward cycle that leads to a dead-end (until of course another similar project comes along).
The trend of community-level elites usurping control over development projects is a stubborn problem for projects that rely on community participation. Tanzania's community-driven Social Action Fund program (TASAF) required communities to first fill out an application to have access to the program. This initial step immediately drew applicants that were "substantially wealthier and better educated than the national average." Those who were politically well-connected benefitted the most from the program.
But when we investigate how the community feels about the elite that access these programs, the story is not so straightforward. In a case study from West Africa, a European NGO started working with a village association. After a period of working with the association to build its capacity in developing a better reporting standards, internal rules, clear objectives, etc.; the foreign NGO began the second phase of the project and disbursed funds to the association to start small community-driven projects. Despite these efforts, the NGO soon found that the leader of the association was taking large amounts of the money for his personal use. When the NGO withdrew support for the association, other association members defended the leader: 'everybody around him benefited from the project and, if he benefited [much] more than the others, it is understandable because he is the leader'. The leader's ability to gain access to these NGO funds on behalf of the community was much more important than the fact that the leader was cheating the larger community of resources that were meant for everyone.
Another example from India on community-based natural resource management tells an interesting story and provides some hope. A study on a village India found that while there was elite capture in the initial stages of a forestry project, it was eventually suppressed and led to some positive outcomes for the community. It is worth noting that the study spanned a period of 10 years, well-beyond typical project cycles.
In this case, the project heavily invested in creating durable, democratic local institutions from the onset. Forest protection committees, which included 2 members of each household from the village nominated members for the forest management committee. These committees established relationships with local government forestry agencies in order to sustainably manage the forest and allow the community to meet their livelihood needs at the same time. The forest management committee was mandated to have representation of socially marginalized groups and could only serve 3-year terms.
Elite capture and small acts of resistance: In the first three-year term, the elected committee chair was a man from the highest caste in the village and women who were elected to the committee sent their husbands to participate on their behalf. Based on rules created by the committee, the poorest villagers ended up paying an unequal amount of fines to the committee. However, those who were considered members of the lowest class of the community purposefully broke the rules that they deemed to be unfair.
Elite capture at its strongest: In the second three-year term, more people expressed interest in becoming the committee chairperson. The village leader nominated someone from his own political party and many were forced to obligingly support this candidate. Even though 2 of the 15 committee members boycotted this election process, the party-backed chairman was elected anyway. The second chairperson was not as transparent as the first and frequently bent the rules for his own party members. The number of women in the committee increased from two to eight from the first and second terms but their positions were still weak. The members from the lowest castes were not informed of meetings and could not participate regularly. The chair and other higher-caste members dominated decision-making.
Resistance grows and some breakthroughs: In the third term, the village leader again attempted to nominate someone from his party but community members who were not affiliated with his party organized against him and the election process was delayed for 6 months. Eventually, a local NGO mediated a process that led to elections and resulted in women and members of the lower castes to occupy leadership positions.
Many in the community were encouraged by these new shifts in power. But even at this stage and after a hard-won victory, the female chairperson still deferred to her husband as the de facto chairperson. Proving once again that one of the most stubborn problems in development remains in the realm of gender.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 12, 2010) - Sophomore Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) was named to the 2010 John Olerud Two-Way Player Watch List announced The College Baseball Foundation earlier this week.
"This is a tremendous honor for Bo," said head coach Tony Skole, "To be one of the final 25 players remaining for this prestigious award is a tremendous accomplishment. Bo has had an outstanding season thus far and seems to be getting better and better over this last month of the season. There are not many athletes in the country that can do what we ask him to do, and do it at such a high level."
The Olerud Award recognizes a player who makes an impact both on the mound and at the plate. Reeder is one of 25 players nationally to be recognized as he is hitting .368 with nine doubles, three triples, 17 home runs and 54 RBI, while posting a 3-4 record on the mound with a 5.94 ERA and 27 strikeouts.

It left next year's milk output unchanged at a record 204.5 billion pounds. © Catherine Merlo, Dairy Today TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Catherine Merlo Farm Journal's Milk Western and Online Editor Email Lower corn prices and strong international dairy demand are expected to strengthen the outlook for U.S. dairies. U.S. farmers are on track to achieve record-high milk output and corn production over the next year, according to today's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) from USDA. Today's report also projects that dairy product prices will rise, leading to an increase in the averaged All-Milk price to as high as $19.90 per cwt. for 2013, and $20.35 per cwt. for 2014. Those forecasts should improve the Milk-to-Feed-Ratio and "point to more profitability for dairies in the next year," says AgDairy's Robin Schmahl, a Wisconsin-based dairy and commodity trading specialist. "Dairy producers should be in a better position over the next year." USDA lowered projections for 2013 milk production by 300 million pounds from last month's report, to 201.8 billion pounds. It left next year's milk output unchanged at 204.5 billion pounds. The forecasts for both this year and next are record-high numbers. Strong international demand for dairy products and tightening supplies are expected to support increases for nonfat dry milk, butter and cheese prices, the report noted. USDA left the 2013 whey price forecast unchanged at $0.585-$0.605 per pound but raised it slightly for 2014. Higher product prices are also expected to boost the 2013 Class IV forecast to $18.60-$18.90 per cwt., and next year's outlook to $18.45-$19.55. Class III Price Takes a Back Seat Interestingly, says Schmahl, USDA expects the lowest prices in Class III milk, which is used for cheese, compared to Class IV and the All-Milk Price. For 2014, USDA forecasts Class III prices at 17.05-$18.05 per cwt., up 50 cents per cwt. from its August estimate. Today's WASDE report raised the 2013 Class III price 10 cents from last month's estimate to $17.90-$18.10 per cwt. USDA's price increase may reflect the recent upturn in the cheese and butter markets, says Schmahl. The price differential between Class III and Class IV milk likely signifies the increased global demand for milk powders and the heavy inventory of cheese stocks, he adds. While all signs point to strong international dairy demand and the U.S. has been price-competitive lately, "we're not the only one trying to fulfill that demand," cautions Schmahl. "Other countries are rising to that challenge. The European Union will be going off the quota system in 2015, and Australia wants to increase its milk production." Booming Corn Production A bigger-than-expected corn crop of 13.843 billion bushels surprised the market and pressured December corn futures some 10 cents per bushel lower this morning, says a report from our partners at Pro Farmer. Today's WASDE production number exceeds the August report figure of 13.763 billion bushels and far surpasses 2012's output of 10.780 billion bushels. The WASDE report also foresees a smaller old-crop carryover and higher yields from this year's corn harvest. UADA lowered the projected season-average farm price for corn 10 cents at both ends of the range to $4.40 to $5.20 per bushel. Corn, the biggest feed stuff for U.S. dairies, will be key, Schmahl says. ""Cheaper corn often means cheaper milk" as dairies increase milk output. Back to news

Even if two weeks' worth of Maruchan ramen drains your savings account, there's something about a rusting mid-'90s Accord on sagging springs that fails to inspire confidence among financial backers or real-estate agents. And when you and the missus are just starting out, you feel that need to be taken seriously more acutely than most. There are certainly cheaper new cars than the group gathered here, but—wrong as it may be—"cheap" is the only reputation many B-segment cars have.
Fortunately, respectability is booming among compact sedans as the class itself matures alongside its target customers. All five of the cars gathered here are new within the last two years, with the Hyundai Elantra, the Ford Focus, and the Volkswagen Jetta fresh off their debuts. And, while all five have entry prices of less than $17,000, an essential part of the startup mind-set is pretending you've already made it. We therefore checked out an example of each car possessing a sticker fiddled appropriately upmarket, with optional engines, automatic transmissions, and uplevel trims, landing them in the $23,000-to-$26,000 range. (Regrettably, there was no way to achieve stick-shift parity in this group.)
The elephant not in this room is the Honda Civic, a bestseller and all-around nice guy. Generation nine of Honda's compact wonder was on the verge of introduction as this was written and thus unavailable for our testing, but watch for a mano a mano between the Honda and the winner of this comparo in an upcoming issue.
For now, our reigning segment champion is the Mazda 3, which prevailed over a Kia Forte and a Volkswagen Golf in a previous comparo . Newish last year, the 3 rides on a platform largely unchanged from the car that was introduced in 2004. Not a problem, we said, naming it to our 10Best list for 2010.
On sale in Europe for two years already, the Chevrolet Cruze is actually older than the 3, but it is newer to the U.S. market. It rides on a platform that shares virtually nothing with its predecessor—a good start. In replacing the Cobalt, the Cruze had small shoes to fill, and it has positively exploded their seams. In our first test, we said, "a Cruze, in a comparison test right now, might very well win."
Ford's 2012 Focus, like the Cruze, is the result of a domestic automaker exploiting a global platform. In this case, "global" means the Focus was developed by a crew in Germany and will be sold, with only minor variations, just about everywhere but the International Space Station (the destination and delivery charge would be prohibitively steep). The car's underpinnings are similar to those of the European Focus for which we've pined ever since our last-gen Focus was haphazardly warmed over in 2005 (and again in 2008). A hatchback is available, but we tapped a sedan for this test.
Hyundai's Elantra is also brand-new. Once a tinny, cheap emblem of automotive desperation, the 2011 Elantra arrives on the scene with a glut of features and a sense of style that hardly existed anywhere in the sedan market 10 years ago, let alone in such an affordable class. Whether or not we like the look (most of us do), we respect that Hyundai dove into the deep end; with the exception of the Focus, nothing else here comes even close to having such a cohesive look
Rounding out the roster is the VW Jetta. Having failed to attract a suitable sales base as a semi-premium car—with pricing and content halfway between the compact and mid-size classes—the Jetta is now embracing the austerity it once tried to live above. Alongside a big bump in interior volume, the 2011 VW gets a substantial price cut, thanks to the addition of a don't-go-anywhere-near-it base model with an overmatched 115-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder. But any Jetta equipped with the more desirable 2.5-liter inline-five still carries a premium of at least a thousand bucks more than the entry-level prices of the four other cars here. The enlarged Jetta now takes direct aim at the heart of the segment. But that heart is beating stronger than ever.

Stuff just keeps on piling up today - and I'm trying to work through my second playthrough of Mass Effect 2 on insanity (fourth playthrough overall). I have the sneaking suspicion, though, that nobody sympathises with my problems... Anywho, Google just unveiled the tablet user interface for Android 3.0, Honeycomb. Looks pretty decent I guess - somehow, it reminds me of Tron.

Now all we need is the tablet to run it on. Hopefully this video means it can't be long before it's out, but no tablets officially announced with it on. Bring on the Motorola press event at about 4pm PST (midnight GMT)
Motorola's announcemed product is the Xoom tablet:
In my country at least, Motorola have been beaten to the punch already:
(Most of these will be capable of running Android 3.0 when it is realeased).
There are already tablets to run Android 3.0 on, the hardware is ready, we are just waiitng for the OS. Meanwhile, you can run hardware such as this with Android 2.2 or 2.1 if you wish, just for the interim period.

To the editor:
As many of you are aware the Fort Myers Beach Fire Control District has been awarded an Artifact from the World Trade Center. The District was granted the Artifact by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which the FMBFCD took possession of last Friday, July 29.
My proposal to honor those Americans that lost their lives and lost loved ones on that day is to resurrect a monument and memorial at Station 33, which will display the Artifact along with the American Flag. I will bring this proposal before the FMBFCD Board of Commissioners at our Aug. 16 Commission Meeting for approval.
If approved by the Board, it will be a permanent memorial for all Beach residents and visitors to honor and remember our fellow Americans that lost their lives on that Dark Day in History.
I would personally like to thank everyone that has helped support the District to honor this memorial.
If you have any questions or inquiries, please call me directly at 590-4200.

Eastern influence dominated this Conklin poster in which slithering serpents split three-night stands of Moby Grape, Jeff Beck, Mint Tattoo and the Charles Lloyd Quartet, Nerd, and James Cotton at the Fillmore West.
Our vintage concert handbills feature performances from the Fillmore, Fillmore East, Winterland, the Avalon Ballroom and more.
Print Variations
The handbill measures 4 11/16" x 7 1/8" and displays a calendar of upcoming Bill Graham events on the reverse. It was printed before the concert.
There were also some pre-concert double-sized mailers printed that were conjoined with the BG129 image (see BG129/130). They measure 4 5/8" x 14 3/8".
About Lee Conklin
Lee Conklin's early influences were pen and ink masters Heinrich Kley and Saul Steinberg.After seeing articles featuring Wes Wilson's poster art, Conklin was inspired to visit San Francisco and show his art to Bill Graham. Conklin was soon commissioned to do posters and produced 31 original designs for the Fillmore between 1968 and 1969. Conklin rendered both graphics and calligraphy in intricate detail. What began as a personal challenge to disguise images within images and lettering soon turned into a concerted effort to turn every single letter and figure into another form, stretching the imagination to new limits.

Invisible Fence for two small cats and a larger dog?
I'm hoping for some advice on this. I currently have two small cats (around 12 lbs each), and we're moving from an apartment to a house in the country with a nice, large back yard. It is, unfortunately, also on a main street (not terribly busy, but still a main street). I do not intend for my cats to become outdoor cats, but they are very active and agile, and have a tendency to dart of out of the door when it's opened a crack. I would like to put an invisible fence in to prevent their leaving the property (and possibly getting run over) if they do happen to dart out accidentally.
We are planning to adopt a larger dog (border collie or something similar) in a couple of months, and I have the same concerns for the dog. Plus, we would like to let the dog out into the yard from time to time as well.
My question is: will the same invisible fence work for both the cats and the dogs, with the difference in size? Are there any brands that experienced members on the forum can recommend?
Thanks in advance!
Personally - don't waste your money. If your cats or your dog decide that the squirrel running by looks like something it wants to chase - it is probably going to blow off that zap on the way out of your yard. That same zap will probably prevent them from returning to your porch since there really isn't anything interesting or quick moving to distract them from that zap. Besides that - an invisible fence isn't going to keep anything from coming into your yard to get said pet.
Your better bet would be to put a traditional fence around the backyard - or part of it - and teach your pets that if they must go out, the back door is acceptable.
A neighbour of mine has an invisible fence and it does not stop their dog from running after foxes and deer.
I do allow my cats outside and feel that training them on their boundaries is very important. Do you have something to put on your side yard that you can put up to show them the boundary of the back yard so you can train them that they are only allowed out back? Training them may alleviate the fear of them getting free and not knowing the area or where they are allowed.
I have trained my cats on a leash and harness and their boundaries. I live in a rural, wooded area with lots of temptations to run after wildlife. During training, I attached a harness with a long string attached and would not allow them to venture passed the mowed area of the lot (they are stopped dead when they try to venture farther). It did take a lot of patience and my time walking them, but has paid off for the most part. One will stop on command when I clap my hands and say "no" and the other is pretty good about stopping. Both these cats were trained as adults, not as kittens. The only thing is you need to have something that will show them the boundary. For me it is unmowed grass.
I do want to point out that they are NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE WITHOUT 100% SUPERVISION.

In a cat's eye, all things belong to cats.-English Proverb
While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions. Stephen R. Covey
I can't tell you how many dogs I've seen in our local paper that are "lost" that say they have a fence collar on, so I agree if a dog is determined, nothing's going to stop it.
As far as cats are concerned. Personally I would not take the chance at all. Over many years, I've had both indoor and outdoor cats, and cats I thought were trained to stay on our property, but occasionally they did leave on adventures. One old girl in particular who never ventured off the property one day decided to go AWOL for 4 days. We looked everywhere and could not find her at all. She was 16 y.o. at the time and I thought maybe she had died somewhere, but then she managed to drag herself altho she was very weak and tottering back to the house, immediately headed to the waterbowl and drank half of it. It was also obvious she'd had nothing to eat as well. She never really did recover completely and suffered serious kidney damage as a result and died 6 months later. The only way my 2 strictly indoor cats get outside now is in a pet stroller. They love a walk through a nearby park to see what's new and will actually get in the walker when I say "who wants to go for walkies?" Most pet stores sell them, and I find it's a good solution to give the cats some outdoor time and be safe at the same time. It's a win-win situation!
I agree with what's been posted about the invisible fence. Dogs will still get out of the area , but won't get back in , in fear of getting zapped.
For your cats darting out , you could place baby gate inside your front door to deter them from doing it. Yes they can still jump it but it's easier to stop them.
Thanks so much to everyone for their advice.
I do need to clarify something, though (sorry, I obviously wasn't as clear before as I meant to be): I really don't mean for the cats to go outside at all unless it's with a harness and leash on in the backyard when someone else is there. My problem is that they lie in wait and dart out the door when you open it, either to go out yourself or for someone to come in. We're usually really good about commanding them (insofar as cats can be commanded) to stay put or by blocking the space with a foot, but every so often they do manage to scramble out, or a visitor accidentally leaves the door open.
They're both also really good jumpers: I've seen them do a standing 5.5 foot jump: scared the living daylights out of me! So I don't imagine the baby gate will work, unfortunately.
A friend of mine who is studying to be a vet just told me that I can have an electric fence put in, and what matters is the strength of the collar put on the animal. So I can put collars of a different level onto my cats than I do the larger dog. I'm hoping this will work, and will return and post again with what I find.
PS: there's no back door: there is a side door, but it doesn't lead to the backyard. We actually have to take a little path to get to the back yard from the side door!
As others have told you - the zap getting through the fence probably won't stop them from getting out if they see something they want to go after. It will make them hesitate to come back.
There are many ideas out there that will work to keep your cats in. Maybe you can build a small enclosed porch on the side of the house so people have to come in there and one door is closed before the other to your home is opened. If you rent it is as simple as putting up a "room" of posts and chicken wire so if kitties run out you can have time to grab them and put them back in. If it is completely closed off, even the top, cats can't get out. May not be attractive, although you can make it so, but it would be very effective. Just a thought.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Here's some ideas for you. Doesn't have to be this fancy but may help.

I would definitely try the collars out on myself before letting the cats get anywhere near them. What my friend said - and of course I'll validate before buying them - is that there are different strengths of collars for different animal sizes: it's not the fence itself that shocks, rather the fence sends the signal to the collar which then beeps and then (if the animal keeps running) shocks.
Having said that, I really like your idea of building porches for both doors: that should confuse the cats long enough to allow - as you said - one of us to grab them. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Invisable fencing do not work. I can not tell you how many dogs I have picked up running at large, with a invisable fence collar on. Wear a collar for a day, and see how it feels getting shocked, when getting to close to the fence. It is actually quite painful. Also, I know like you said there are different settings on the collars. The problem with this is that, alot of owners (once there pet gets through the fence) they will turn it up, in hopes of there pet not getting through a second time. (Actually one of our adoption staff put on a collar and turn it on the highest setting that they collar had, and it pretty much threw her out of her chair) Please think of another alternatlves.

Hey I've used invisible fence once. It's certainly not 100%. If the animal is supervised it may be o.k. Don't rely on it. I did hear once about a cat door dodger type thing. It zaps only if the cat tries to leave the house. It's totally designed to stop your cat escaping. That was many many years ago and made by the original "Invisible Fence"
I personally would never use an electric fence or collar for any of my pets. Not the fencing, not the bark collars, nothing. It's cruel and uncalled for. I'm sure if you put your mind to it you can figure out a way to control your cats and future dog. It sounds like it's just an easy way out rather than training training training. Don't want to offend you, just want to say I think they're horrible. Electro shock therapy comes to mind.
There are so many options on those sites I gave you. I'm sure you will be able to find something that will work. Thank you for taking my suggestion so well.

Just to add, the fence does not keep other animals out and when we came back from a bike ride yesterday my dog went over for a visit and then both dogs, even the small one, were lured out by mine, zap or not.

When the Academy Awards was held in February at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre, cutting-edge, fiber-optics technology enabled the orchestra for the live telecast to perform — in real time — from a studio a mile away at Captitol Records.
But that high-tech feat almost seems like child's play compared to this weekend's "Telematic Music Virtual Tour: A Reduced Carbon Footprint Concert Series." It will feature internationally acclaimed jazz and new music bass great Mark Dresser and an all-star ensemble at UC San Diego performing with bands, in three other cities and time zones, on three successive days.
Each joint concert will be live and in nearly real time, even though the musicians in La Jolla will be playing (and improvising) in tandem with ensembles at universities in Amherst, MA (Friday), Zurich, Switzerland (Saturday) and Stony Brook, N.Y. (Sunday).
"At the Oscars, they were using remote cameras, microphones and networks to broadcast what was happening a mile away into a live hall," Dresser, a UC San Diego professor (and alum), noted.
"What's different about what we're doing is that, instead of one band playing (remotely) for one live audience at a different location, we have two bands, playing together from two different places with two different live audiences each night. Each audience will be able to see and hear each band at the same time, even though we're thousands of miles apart."
Watch Mark Dresser and Michael Dessen preview and discuss this weekend's Virtual Concert Tour
View the Video The Virtual Tour
This weekend's Virtual Tour performances are the latest in a series of telematic concerts, in which elite groups of musicians around the globe perform from great distances together using high-definition audio and visual tehcnology. Because of the huge broadband-width networks required, such concerts typically can only be held at educational and research facilities.
"High-end consumer bandwidths people have at home might be 1.5 megabytes and some businesses might have 25 megabytes," explained Dresser, who has been at the forefront of telematic concerts since 2007. "For there performances, we're talking one billion bytes."
Among the 16 musicians performing as part of this weekend's Virtual Tour are trombonist Michael Dessen (in San Diego), saxophonists Marty Ehrlich and Jason Robinson (Amherst), drummer Gerry Hemmingway (Zurich), saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom and composer/conductor Sara Weaver (Stony Brook).
On Monday afternoon, Dresser rehearsed with Dessen, as a UT-TV photographer filmed them.
The fact that Dresser was in La Jolla and Dessen was at UC Irvine seemed so minor, at least compared to the thousands of miles between the musicians who will perform during this weekend's Virtual Tour concerts, that La Jolla and Irvine seemed to almost be in the same room -- which, in a manner, they were.
Listening to each other intently, they negotiated a complex portion of a composition entitled "Nathan," and discussed whether one bar would be better if it was played in 11/8 or 5/6.
As Dresser bowed his bass part, he looked up at the large screen on which Dessen appeared: "Are you notating?"
"Yeah," replied the trombonist, who could be seen -- pen in hand -- quickly writing out a new note sequence.
A few minutes later, Dessen asked: "Do you hear how I'm playing it?"
Dresser nodded, then said: "If I play this pattern, do you want to blow (solo) over it?"
The two, who are the co-directors of this weekend's Virtual Tour, then launched into a lively duet. They were able to hear each other in close to real time, albeit with a tiny delay that will be a bit more audible when they perform Friday, Saturday and Sunday with musicians across the country and abroad.
At UC San Diego, Dresser and Dessen will be joined in person by pianist Myra Melford, a longtime musical partner of Dresser's, and by flutist Nicole Mitchell. The audience will hear and watch them interact with the musicians at other colleges in other cities, specifically Amherst College (Friday), Zurich's Institute of Computer Music and Technology (Saturday) and Stony Brook University's Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, Consortium for Digital arts, Culture and Technology (Sunday).
"It's kind of like playing in a cathedral," Dresser said. "You adjust to the sound."
Visually, the delay between cities is more pronounced, although that doesn't really pose a problem.
"The music is so challenging to read and play that you can't really look up (at the screen)," noted leading San Diego jazz pianist Joshua White, who this week sat in for Melford during a rehearsal by the musicians in La Jolla and Zurich.
"The amount of rehearsal and preparation for these concerts is amazing. There's a technical director and crew in each of the three cities. And during rehearsals, they are constantly texting or calling each other to get everything in sync. It's incredible how much attention to detail is required to co-ordinate everything to make this work."
To add to the challenge, the 12 pieces that will be played during this weekend's three Virtual Concert performances have been specially composed for the concerts and will each be receiving their world premieres. The piece written by Zurich-based drummer Hemingway, who teaches most summers at the UC San Diego Jazz Camp, also utilizes a film and spoken narration.
The result, ultimately, is not a celebration of technology, per se. Rather, it's a demonstration of how technology can be used to enable visionary artists to revel in the joys of making truly interactive music together.
"This technology allows us to transcend location and to make music with people you have a real creative chemistry and affinity with," Dresser said.
"You get to play with people at a distance, not to be novel, but to explore something special. There's an intrinsic value in doing it. And it's very environmentally friendly!"

Kossen family
Kossen is a Mennonite family name found in the north of the Dutch province of North Holland. Formerly they were all farmers. Descendants of this family are Dirk Kossen (b. 1865 at Barsingerhorn, d. 1934 at Driehuis), who studied at the university and Mennonite Seminary at Amsterdam and then was pastor of Mennonite congregations of Den Helder 1891-1895, The Hague 1895-1897, Akkrum 1898-1913, and Bolsward 1913-1932. He was a trustee of the Algemene Doopsgezinde Sociëteit (Dutch General Mennonite Conference) in 1905-1931 and the promoter of the "Dienstjarenfonds" in 1911, of which he was president 1924-1934. His son Hendrik B. Kossen, b. 1923 at Bolsward, studied at the Amsterdam university and seminary, and served the IJlst congregation 1950-56, and Berlikum 1956- .

text: Brazil amends lists of tax havens and tax privileged regimes, clarifies "substantial economic activity" Global Tax News Share this 28 SEP 2016 By: Alex Jorge Humberto Marini* Earlier this month, Brazil's Federal Revenue (RFB) released Normative Instruction RFB No. 1,658, which amended Normative Instruction RFB No. 1,037/2010 to: in the list of countries or locations classified as low-tax jurisdictions (tax havens): (i) include Ireland; (ii) replace Netherlands Antilles with Curacao and St. Martin, given the dissolution of Netherlands Antilles and creation of the referred jurisdictions; and (iii) exclude St. Kitts and Nevis, as they were in duplicate with the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis; in the list of privileged tax regimes: include holding companies in Austria. Additionally, as regards the classification as privileged tax regimes of holding companies in Denmark and Netherlands with no substantial economic activity − which were already included in the original list of Normative Instruction RFB No. 1,037/2010 − Normative Instruction RFB No. 1,658/2016 has clarified that a holding company is deemed to have "substantial economic activity" when, in its residence country, it presents an operational capacity suitable to its purpose, evidenced, among other factors, by the existence of skilled employees in sufficient number and adequate facilities for management and effective decision-making relating to: the development of activities aimed at obtaining income derived from its assets or the management of the equity stake aimed at obtaining income arising from the distribution of dividends and capital gains. Normative Instruction RFB No. 1,658 was published in the Official Gazette on September 14, 2016. The draft previously provided by RFB on economic substance requirements of holding companies in Denmark and Netherlands has been amended. As per Normative Instruction RFB No. 1,658/2016's provisions, in order to identify the existence of economic substance, RFB is focusing more on activity carried out by the holding company (rather than its corporate format) and on the list of exemplificative requirements (which, in the draft previously provided, was indicated only in explanatory notes). Nevertheless, RFB has not expressly included the international standard requirement related to assumption of economic risks, although this condition was also indicated in the explanatory statement. Please note that, with respect to Austrian holding companies, these are deemed to be privileged tax regimes, regardless of the existence of economic substance. The amendments introduced by Normative Instruction RFB No. 1,658/2016 are effective from October 1, 2016 (as published by RFB rectification on September 19, 2016). It is worth noting that the classification of a country or location as a tax haven (which comprises jurisdictions that do not tax income or tax it at a rate below 20 percent, or where domestic law does not allow access to information related to shareholding composition) or as a privileged tax regime has, among others, the following legal consequences: (i) application of transfer pricing and thin capitalization rules; (ii) differences in tax treatment regarding overseas profits; and (iii) application of an increased withholding income tax rate of 25 percent on payments on interest, services, royalties, etc. (usually applied only to tax havens, except for some legal express provisions extending it to privileged tax regimes). Note that dividends are tax free even when paid to a shareholder located in a tax haven. In case of any questions about these developments and their meaning for your business, please do not hesitate to contact us. *Alex Jorge and Humberto Marini are partners in the Tax practice of Campos Mello Advogados, an independent law firm in Brazil.

I originally assumed that this guitar was a Vega (because of the star on the headstock), but after showing a photo to George Gruhn, he pointed me toward Regal. Using that clue I then found several Regal models that closely resembled this instrument. The Regal Style 10 was exactly like this except that it had a mahogany body. I recently found a Washburn of the same era (which was made by Regal after the Tonk Brothers bought the Washburn brand) which was the same shape and had a maple back and sides. So my guess is that this guitar was made at the Regal factory for sale under the Washburn brand.
As is obvious from the photos, this guitar has been expertly refinished. I would guess from the slight finish checking on the back that it was done sometime in the last 20 years. My suspicion is that this instrument has been kept in a case in a closet for many years because at first glance it looks brand new.
Here is an interesting photo I happened across. That fellow on the right is Big Bill Broonzy, author of such blues classics as "Keys to the Highway" and "Outskirts of Town". Next to him is legendary blues pianist, Memphis Slim, and to the left is a little known guitar player named Honey Hill, who happens to be playing a mid-thirties Regal round hole archtop exactly like the one described here!
(My thanks to George Gruhn for helping me to identify this guitar.)

i call bs on that, unless you hit someone that has already taken damage. head shots with snipers are usually a one hit kill, but body shots tend to do between 65% and 95% damage. depending on what gun you are using. the barret only does 95 damage. but it has range and accuracy.

Not sure what i expect or what i want from MacOSX, ML gave me Expose back which was my biggest annoyance with Lion.
I would like a new Filesystem, i had a couple of file system crashes in Leopard and Snow leopard, however i haven't had one in Lion or in Mountain Lion, so i don't know if the issues i had have been resolved and HFS+ is any better. It has put me off HFS+ for a bit.
I agree with other posters that ZFS would be too heavy for a client OS, which is a shame as i would love to have something as powerful as ZFS and not have to worry about silent corruption, i could live without dedup, snapshots and compression. (I would use timemachine over snapshots), if it meant a more lean Filesystem.
Apart from that i don't mind finder, ive never really had a problem with it. The only ones i had was no option to cut and paste in finder, that was fixed and merging folders which couldn't be done before and has been fixed in ML (i.e. you couldn't copy a folder with the same name on top of another folder without it deleting the original folder).
I would like to see all the skeumorphic stuff removed, i used to like the calendar and contacts but they look really crap/tacky.
The rest of the built in apps work well for me, Mail, safari etc..
Personally if i had the choice i would have liked apple to have spent some time on the iLife stuff like iPhoto as i like to use this to store my everyday photos i sync with my phone (other photographic work is done in aperture). iPhone and a lot of the iLife apps are old, sluggish and need a rethinking in some areas (sharing in iPhoto is absolutely terrible).

Protect Yourself from Modification Scams
Nov 5, 2012
You might receive an official looking letter, see an ad on television or hear it on the radio, or stumble upon a website—someone offering to help you modify your mortgage, for a small fee, with guaranteed results!
Are these offers fake or real?
Well, these days, it's harder and harder to tell. Anyone can claim to be a "certified" housing counselor, and may use the seal of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which sponsors housing counseling agencies throughout the country, on their business card and website. Don't be fooled. "Know who you are dealing with, check the legitimacy of their credentials," cautions Yolanda D. McGill, senior counsel with the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a national non-profit that's compiling a database of mortgage modification scams.
From the approximately 26,000 complaints they've collected since 2010, representing $62 million in losses, McGill notes a few trends:
- The average homeowner loses $2,982 to the scam
- Activity hotbeds are Southern California and Florida
- Scammers target vulnerable populations—elderly homeowners and homeowners with limited English
Scammers frequent foreclosure events to find victims and may use a legitimate business front, even legal offices, as happened last month in San Diego where an alleged $11 million loan modification fraud scheme was operating within a law firm. According to the federal indictment, telemarketers contacted homeowners nationwide pushing modification offers. They claimed to have helped thousands, with a 98% success rate. They said client fees (thousands of dollars each) would stay in a trust account until the client was satisfied—there was even a money-back guarantee! In the end, clients lost the fees, and were further behind on their mortgage payments. No loans were modified; and many homes went to foreclosure.
This is not an isolated incident. As part of the Lawyers' Committee's work with the Loan Modification Scam Prevention Network (LMSPN), action has been taken against organizations like this in California, Florida, Georgia and New York.
Avoiding Scammers
The best way to avoid scammers is to never pay for help with your mortgage and to work with people you know. Here's a list of where to turn for help.
- Your current mortgage company (the company listed on your monthly mortgage statement). The company currently servicing your loan is always the best place to start.
- The investor of your mortgage. Many mortgages may be backed by another company/investor, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Use the loan lookup tool on this website to see if Fannie Mae owns your loan, which makes you eligible to get assistance from a Fannie Mae Mortgage Help Center. Use this link to see if Freddie Mac owns your loan.
- Your local bank (or credit union). These organizations will be backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and are listed in FDIC's directory.
- A HUD-certified counselor. Contact the Homeowner's HOPE™ Hotline at 888-995-HOPE or find a HUD-certified housing counselor using HUD's website. HUD-certified counselors are not permitted to charge consumers for foreclosure prevention counseling services. However, they can charge "reasonable and customary" fees for other forms of housing counseling and education services.
The Best Help is Free
That distinction opens the door for criminals who point out that free services can't be as good as services you pay for. Says McGill: "It's counterintuitive, but in this business the best help is free, whether it's from a HUD-certified counselor, a mortgage company, or mortgage investor. Homeowners should never pay hundreds, or thousands, of dollars for help with their mortgage."
Editor's Note: If you think you've been scammed, report it! Help ensure other homeowners do not fall victim, call 1-888-995-HOPE or submit an online complaint.

science fictiony music in here
I'm listening to 'Lunatic Harness' by µ-ziq, which as we all know is well science fictiony:
real aliens, proper biomechs with lazer cannons. some proper space station-based carnage, right there.
I think we'd all much rather be space adventurers, infiltrating murky interstellar trade freighters to lazer-hussle some freak from the radioactive
wastelands of some backwater twat planet for the energy crystal it stole from our ship.
what would soundtrack your gritty, neon space travails, though?
And now, a hardcore band's take on alien abduction:
That song is how I learned about Whitley Strieber's Communion.
Saw Logan's Run for the first time the other day
The soundtrack was something special
Something ultra-lounge-y
That retro, essentially backward/forward looking music would put a smile on my face while I'm careening through the cosmos.
this one is magic
also Les Paul's spectral pop music experiments from the 50s.

sterling work, Jimi.
"Young Mother" from Canada
have loads of great sci-fi ingredients on their album "Future Classics." The perfect soundtrack for driving one's hover-hearse into the sun: http://youngmother.bandcamp.com/track/no-straight-lines

Why hasn't there been a sci-fi recklessly party in space film?
So much ace dance and hip-hop is so spacy its unreal.
in space, everyone's a lightweight
there's your tagline, right there.
It could be like Wall-E
A malfunctioning wikipedia bot from the 90s is stumbling around a forgoten planet sifting through garbage to a soundtrack of Groove Armada (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-uztVX6QFQ). Gets beamed up onto a neon party ship from the future, gets so confused by the sights and sounds, accidently spills a drink on the console for the hyperspace uplink copasitor and we get flung thru space so quick that we all disintergrate and die to the sound of Rustie Zig Zag.

As the level of technology in China's IC design industry has increased and the industry has successfully transitioned to mobile communications IC products, some of the IC design firms concerned have made extensive capital gains through IPO listings, a phenomenon that has only served to attract more China-based companies into the IC design industry. The country's total number of IC design firms had already risen to 534 in 2012, providing further evidence that the China IC design industry has apparently entered a new growth cycle.
Strong domestic demand in China has helped the China industry to avoid the worst of the inventory adjustment problems experienced by major global chip makers and the effects of the European debt crisis; the China industry's output value reached US$3.53 billion in 2012, representing 16.3% growth on the 2011 figure of US$3.04 billion.
While there is little doubt that the China IC design industry is flourishing, the actual size of its output value is less certain.
In addition to analysis and forecasts for the China foundry industry's output value in 2013, this report makes use of cost structure analysis for IC design firms in the Greater China region, calculations of Greater China-based foundry companies' revenues from the China market and of the value created by foundry companies in the Greater China region for the China semiconductor industry, to estimate the output value of the China IC design industry and the changes in this figure, as well as Greater China-based foundry companies' share of the China foundry market.

Florida's secretary of state has been taking suggestions from local elections supervisors on how to improve future elections and avoid long lines, delayed results and calls for recounts.
Florida's secretary of state has been taking suggestions from local elections supervisors on how to improve future elections and avoid long lines, delayed results and calls for recounts.
In Volusia and Flagler counties, the main piece of advice is to allow more early voting locations in the days leading up to Election Day.
"There's too much in the election law," Volusia's supervisor Ann McFall said last week. "The local elections supervisor knows their county better than anyone in Tallahassee."
Flagler supervisor Kimberle Weeks offered the same suggestion Friday: "We need more
flexibility as to where early voting can be conducted."
Secretary of State Ken Detzner met Wednesday with some members of the Florida State Association of Supervisors of Elections for their input, the same day Gov. Rick Scott announced Detzner would hold a series of meetings with county supervisors who had Election Day problems.
McFall has met with Detzner, but their meeting was before Election Day. She said the law on early voting locations is her main issue.
State law limits the number of early voting sites that can open in each county — those sites must be libraries or city halls. McFall would like, for example, to open up a "super voting" site at the Volusia Fairgrounds or at the county administration building in DeLand.
Detzner seems to have listened. In a post-Election Day interview on CNN while Florida was still counting ballots, he conceded that more early voting sites should be allowed.
"The solution is that in current Florida law, there's a limit on the number of locations that supervisors can use in early voting," Detzner told CNN. "We need to take a very serious look at that and open up the number of locations."
More than 60,000 people voted early in Volusia, about a quarter of everyone who voted. About 20,000 voted early in Flagler, out of nearly 51,000 votes cast.
Statewide, that number was more than 2.4 million — slightly more than a quarter of the nearly 8.5 million votes cast.
Combined with another 2.4 million absentee votes, more Floridians voted early or absentee than showed up on Election Day itself.
Still, elections supervisors can open far more Election Day precincts — at churches, community centers and country clubs — than early voting locations.
The state legislature cut the number of early-voting days available this year to 8, down from 14 in 2008, and Scott faced criticism before Election Day when lines clogged in South Florida and he didn't allow more days.
Volusia and Flagler, while busy, didn't face major crises on Election Day — unlike counties in South Florida that made headlines with long lines and precincts forced to stay open past 11 p.m. The last precincts in Volusia were letting in the last voters between 8:30 and 9. (The official closing time was 7 p.m.)
McFall said she also told Detzner that the state Department of Motor Vehicles' frequent updates to the voter registration database can cause confusion in her office. And she pointed out the law against changing voter records within 90 days of an election kept her from updating the addresses of 30,000 people whose absentee ballots were returned undeliverable in the mail.
Weeks, who hasn't met with Detzner and hasn't been contacted, said she also believes the ballot language on amendments should be limited.
This year's ballot included 11 lengthy constitutional amendments that stretched the ballot to multiple pages, front and back. All but three of the amendments failed.
The national civil-rights organization The Advancement Project has also recommended Scott add early voting days and locations, with local supervisors deciding where those sites should be.
Scott said Detzner will hold more meetings with supervisors after the official election results are certified Tuesday.�

I will be using solid subframe bushings on my '68. I just ordered the kit containing the bushngs for all six body mount locations.I have read though, that the solid bushings were not recommended to use where the radiator core support attachches to the subframe because the transmitted vibration could damage the radiator.I am just looking for opinions on this. Has anyone actually ever had this happen to them? I have no problem buying rubber mounts for that connection if I need to. I don't want to though, if there is no good reason for it.Thanks........Dave
""Have you ridden in a Camaro with solid bushings. Rides like a 50 year old truck..."" I Totally disagree with that statement. As long as you have quality shocks it rides great.
