In 1995, the United States trade deficit with Indonesia was $4.1 billion,
$369 million more than in 1994. U.S. merchandise exports to Indonesia were $3.4
billion, up $545 million or 19.4 percent from 1994. Indonesia was the United
States' twenty-ninth largest export market in 1995. Imports from Indonesia
totaled $7.4 billion in 1995, a 14 percent increase over 1994 levels.
The United States stock of foreign direct investment in Indonesia was $5
billion in 1994, more than five percent greater than that in 1993. U.S. direct
investment in Indonesia is largely concentrated in petroleum and
In recent years, Indonesia has liberalized its trade regime and has taken a
number of important steps to reduce protection. Since 1986, the Government has
issued regular deregulation packages which have reduced overall tariff levels,
simplified the tariff structure, removed import restrictions, replaced
non-tariff barriers with more transparent tariffs, and encouraged foreign and
domestic private investment. The most recent of these packages were issued in
May 1995 and January 1996.
Indonesia's applied tariff rates range from 5 to 30 percent. A number of
products are subject to import surcharges, as well. The May 1995 package laid
out a scheduled process of tariff reform, which, in general, will extend
Indonesia's commitments under the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) on an MFN basis.
The May package committed Indonesia to reduce tariffs on items with protection
(import duty plus import surcharge) of more than 20 percent or lower to 5
percent or lower by the year 2000. It stipulated that tariffs on items with
protection of more than 20 percent will be reduced to no more than 20 percent by
1998 and 10 percent by 2003. All tariffs in the 10 to 35 percent range were
reduced immediately by 5 percent; tariffs of 40 percent or more were reduced to
30 percent. Some products in the automotive, chemical, metal, and agriculture
sectors were excluded. Tariffs on approximately 64 percent of Indonesia's tariff
line items were reduced immediately (about 14 percent of the tariff lines were
already free of duty). Overall, the package reduced Indonesia's
imported-weighted average tariff by about 3 percent.
The January 1996 package incorporated a consolidation of the tariff code
which reduced the total number of tariff lines by 22 percent, to a total of
7284. It also lowered tariffs on 428 items, primarily capital equipment, raw
materials, and intermediate goods used by export industries.
As of the January package, slightly fewer than 16 percent of the tariff lines
are not subject to duty, 31 percent of tariff lines are subject to 5 percent
duty, 9 percent are subject to 10 percent duty, 10 percent are subject to 15
percent duty, 4 percent are subject to 20 percent duty, 18.5 percent subject to
25 percent duty, and 11 percent are subject to 30 percent duty. Tariff
protection remains at more than 30 percent for only 1.3 percent of the tariff
In Uruguay Round market access negotiations, Indonesia committed to bind 94.6
percent of its tariff items, for the most part at ceiling bindings of 40
percent. Exceptions to the 40 percent binding include automobiles, iron and
steel, and some chemical products. In accordance with the WTO agreement on
agriculture, Indonesia has agreed to tariffy its nontariff barriers on
agricultural products.
Some of these exceptions are still heavily protected. For example, when the
Government lifted the import ban on completely built-up cars in 1993, it
replaced the ban with duties of up to 200 percent and import surcharges of 100
percent. The import levies were decreased in a subsequent deregulation package,
but tariffs of up to 125 percent are still compounded by import surcharges of up
to 75 percent on completely built-up models.
Indonesia committed to remove import surcharges on items bound in the Uruguay
Round by the year 2005. The January 1996 package continued the reduction in the
number of import surcharges to 77; 27 of those will be phased out in line with
Indonesia's WTO commitments. In February 1996, however, the Government imposed a
20 percent import surcharge on propylene, and a 25 percent import surcharge on
ethylene, products excluded from Indonesia's WTO tariff commitments.
As of the January 1996 package, Indonesia's average (unweighted) tariff is
14.2 percent, down from nearly 20 percent in 1994. Due to the recent
consolidation of the tariff code, the level of the current average trade-
weighted tariff is not yet clear.
All processed goods are subject to a 10 percent value-added tax. A luxury tax
ranging from 20 percent to 35 percent is also levied on certain products.
Many major bulk food commodities, such as wheat, rice, sugar, and soybeans,
are subject to non-tariff barriers. The sole importer is the National Logistics
Agency (BULOG), a state trading entity. Prices of these commodities are often
higher than world market prices; sugar and soybean prices are about 40 percent
higher than import parity prices. (Rice and wheat flour prices are currently
fairly close to world market prices.) Wheat imports totaled approximately 3.6
million metric tons in the twelve-month period from July 1994 to June 1995. U.S.
sales of agricultural commodities to Indonesia jumped sharply in 1995; wheat
sales went from $7 million to $91 million; corn sales from $23 million to $74
million; and rice sales from $0.8 million to $30 million.
Other agricultural products are subject to local purchase requirements. The
Indonesian Government announced that, effective April 1, 1996, it will lift the
requirement that 20 percent of all soybean meal used by feedmills be purchased
domestically, but a similar restriction remains in place for milk products.
Under the Uruguay Round Agreement, the diary product protection must be phased
out by 2003.
The June 1993 deregulation package replaced a previous ban on the import of
built-up motor vehicles with extremely high import tariffs. Models which are not
also assembled in Indonesia are subject to a 75 percent import surcharge, as
well. Import duties on automotive components range from 65 percent to 0, and are
inversely related to the degree of local content achieved by the manufacturer
(auto trade will also be affected by the new "pioneer auto program," discussed
in the investment section below). Significant import barriers,
including high tariffs and import licensing requirements, also exist in the
motorcycle sector.
The Government continues to reduce the number of items subject to import
restrictions and special licensing requirements. As a result of the January 1996
reform package, 203 tariff lines still remain subject to restrictive import
licenses, down from 261 in 1994 and 1,112 lines in 1990. The January package
reduced restrictions on imports of 23 tariff lines, including seven categories
of steel products.
For goods which continue to be regulated, the following import license
categories exist (number of affected tariff codes in parentheses): registered
importers -- alcoholic beverages (27), milk products (7), hand tools (6);
producing importers -- soybean cake (1), salt (2), artificial sweeteners (3),
propylene granules (2), iron and steel products (7), engines and pumps (5)
tractors (3) knocked down electronic keyboards (1), and scrap materials (57);
approved importers/sole agents -- motor vehicles (47); BULOG -- garlic (2),
wheat (3), rice (4) flour (3), soybeans (2), sugar (7); state oil company
PERTAMINA -- lube oil (3); clove marketing board -- cloves (2); PT Dahana --
explosives (4). In accordance with Indonesia's WTO commitments, the non- tariff
barriers on items not controlled by state trading agencies will be removed over
a ten-year period.
In May 1990 the Government of Indonesia issued a decree which states that the
Department of Health must decide within one year of receipt of an application
whether to grant registration for new foreign pharmaceutical products. In
practice, registration can take much longer, although companies report the
process is slowly improving. Foreign pharmaceutical firms have complained that
copied products sometimes become available on the local market before their
products are registered.
Much of Indonesian government procurement is financed through foreign donor
assistance, and each donor imposes its own procurement requirements. The
Government enacted a new procurement law in 1994, but "economically weaker"
groups and domestic goods and services continue to be given preference.
In carrying out construction and purchases, government agencies and
state-owned corporations must use domestic goods and services to the extent they
are available. Government procurement regulations stipulate a 15 percent price
margin above the cost of imported goods and services at the project site.
State-owned firms which have sold shares through the Jakarta stock exchange are
exempted from many government procurement regulations.
Foreign joint ventures are not eligible to tender for government
pharmaceuticals procurement. The requirement that doctors employed in government
institutions prescribe only listed generic drugs also prevents the procurement
of foreign pharmaceutical products; foreign companies, in general, are
prohibited from competing in the generic drug market.
According to the regulations, foreign firms bidding on certain
government-sponsored construction or procurement projects may be asked to
purchase and export the equivalent in selected Indonesian products, but this is
rarely carried out in practice.
Since 1989, Indonesia has been on the "watch list" under the "Special 301"
provisions of the 1988 Trade Act as a result of inadequate protection of
patents, trademarks, and copyrights and limitations on motion picture market
access (see the services section for additional information on film market
access). The government often responds to U.S. companies which put forward
specific complaints about pirated goods and trademark abuse, but the court
system can be capricious, and punishment of pirates of protected intellectual
property is very rare.
Indonesia's first patent law, enacted in November 1989, entered into effect
on August 1, 1991. The patent law and accompanying regulations include product
and process protection for both pharmaceuticals and chemicals. The industry has
identified a number of areas of concern, including compulsory licensing
provisions, a relatively short term of protection (14 years), and a provision
which allows unauthorized importation of 50 specific products by third parties.
In addition, concerns remain regarding Indonesia's law and regulations on
working requirements and patent cancellation. The Government has prepared a new
draft patent law, which should be presented to Parliament in early 1996. Its
provisions, which are intended to bring Indonesia into TRIPs compliance, may
address many of the U.S. companies' concerns.
In 1987, Indonesia enacted amendments to its copyright law which largely
brought it into conformity with international standards for copyright
protection. In March 1989, the United States and Indonesia signed an agreement
to establish bilateral copyright relations effective August 1, 1989.
In several areas, the government has demonstrated that it wants to stop
copyright piracy and that it is willing to work with copyright holders to this
end. Enforcement of the ban of pirated audio and video cassettes has been
reasonably good, especially in light of resource constraints. The courts,
however, remain unpredictable in specific rulings involving IPR cases, which has
made enforcement of IPR laws less effective. Pirated software and textbooks are
still readily available. U.S. software companies estimate that software piracy
rates in Indonesia are 99 percent, resulting in a $92 million annual loss. The
Indonesian Government itself is estimated to be a large user of pirated
In general, while enforcement of the copyright laws and regulations has
become a higher priority for the Government, substantial room still exists for
improvement. In April 1995, the Government announced a plan to improve copyright
enforcement, but implementation of the plan has been uneven. The Government will
submit a new copyright law, intended to bring Indonesia into TRIPs compliance,
to the Parliament by mid- 1996.
A new trademark law came into effect in April 1993. The law sets forth
substantial civil and criminal penalties for trademark infringement, unfair
competition, and counterfeiting. Under the current law, trademark rights are
determined on a first-to-file basis, rather than priority of use, the basis of
the previous law. The new law offers protection for service marks and collective
marks as well as setting forth a procedure for opposition prior to examination
by the trademark office. It also includes well-known marks protection. In spite
of the relatively strong law, U.S. companies have found it difficult to protect
their well- known marks in Indonesia, where the judicial process can be very
time consuming and unreliable. A new trademark law, intended to bring Indonesia
into compliance with TRIPs, may be presented to Parliament by mid-1996.
Indonesian law does not explicitly protect trade secrets. Some relief for
misappropriation of trade secrets, however, may be available through other
Indonesian law. In accordance with its TRIPs obligations, the Government is
preparing draft laws on trade secrets, industrial design, and integrated
circuits to present to the Indonesian parliament in late 1996 or 1997.
Although the June 1994 Presidential Decree No. 20 opened many areas to 100
percent foreign-owned companies, services trade entry barriers continue to exist
in many sectors. Foreign accounting firms must operate through technical
assistance arrangements with local firms, and citizenship is a requirement for
licensing as an accountant. Foreign agents and auditors may act only as
consultants and cannot sign audit reports. Foreign law firms are not allowed to
establish a practice in Indonesia. Attorneys are admitted to the bar only if
they have graduated from an Indonesian legal faculty or an institution
recognized as the equivalent.
Foreign firms and joint ventures with a majority foreign share are not
allowed to distribute products in the domestic market unless the foreign company
manufactures the product in Indonesia (and even then, only at wholesale level,
and only the goods produced domestically). An Indonesian agent or distributor
must be employed for wholesale distribution if the foreign company does not
manufacture in Indonesia. All retail distribution and sales must be handled by
Indonesian firms or individuals. A number of U.S. companies have expressed
concern that these restrictions increase costs and impede their ability to
effectively market and service their products in Indonesia. Analysis has also
shown that distribution barriers in Indonesia (which are more stringent than
virtually anywhere else in ASEAN) reduce the efficiency of the Indonesian
economy and increase prices for Indonesian consumers.
Insurance: A December 1988 package of regulations opened several
insurance subsectors to foreign participation. (Only the life insurance
subsector was previously open. A moratorium had limited the number of general
insurance companies to existing numbers.) All foreign investment must be made
through joint ventures; the minimum Indonesian ownership is 20 percent. Foreign
joint ventures in the insurance sector must be capitalized at up to five times
the level of domestic operations. In ongoing WTO negotiations in financial
services, Indonesia has offered to phase out the differential capital
requirement over time.
In January 1992, Parliament approved a framework law on insurance. The new
law stipulates that the insured is free to choose his or her insurer except in
the case of social insurance programs. The workers Social Security Act of 1992
states that only state-owned enterprises may carry out the Act's social
insurance program.
All insurance in Indonesia must be purchased from either a domestic or joint
venture company. The only exceptions are unavailability of coverage in Indonesia
and total foreign ownership of the insured entity.
Banking: Any new foreign bank must be a joint venture between an
Indonesian bank and a foreign bank from a country that offers reciprocity, with
the Indonesian partner supplying at least 15 percent of the capital. The capital
requirement for new joint venture banks is now about $49 million, twice the
requirement for domestic banks. However, the central bank has issued a
regulation that requires all foreign exchange banks, whether 100 percent
domestic or foreign joint ventures, to raise their capital to $66 million by the
year 2001.
Securities: Foreign security firms may only enter the Indonesian
securities market in a joint venture with an Indonesian firm (the Indonesian
partner must have at least 15 percent equity participation). Foreign joint
venture firms are also subject to discriminatory capital requirements: paid in
capital required for a foreign joint venture to obtain a license as a securities
broker dealer, underwriter/broker dealer, or investment manager is twice that
for a local firm.
Indonesia prohibits foreign film and videotape distributors from establishing
branches or subsidiaries. All importation and distribution is restricted by the
film law to 100 percent Indonesian-owned companies. Importation and in-country
distribution of U.S. films must be handled through a single organization, the
European and American film importers' association (AIFEA). Annual import quotas
apply to foreign films and videotapes. Duties, taxes, licensing and other
necessary payments also act as barriers to the film industry.
In 1990, the Motion Picture Association of America opened a representative
office in Jakarta. In 1991, the Government of Indonesia agreed to increase from
five to six the number of importers in AIFEA, and to allow technical assistance
agreements between the members of AIFEA and U.S. film companies. In 1992, after
negotiations with the United States, the Government of Indonesia agreed to
increase the number of AIFEA members to eight, and to issue licenses to three
more video importers, also for a total of eight. In March 1994, President
Soeharto signed implementing regulations for Indonesia's film law. Finally, in
November 1994, the Ministry of Information issued Ministerial Decrees that have
made it possible for U.S. Motion Picture Companies to sign agreements with video
importers and distributors. A remaining concern is the quota on video imports
which limits the number of foreign titles that may be marketed.
Indonesia is committed to increasing foreign investment. In recent years
Indonesia has implemented several reform packages to reduce burdensome
bureaucratic procedures and reduce substantive requirements for foreign
investors. The most substantial of these was issued in June 1994. Although the
central government has announced plans to reduce red tape, regional license
requirements and other levies can also make investing difficult. The Indonesian
President must personally approve every individual foreign investment project.
In practice, this means that approval of investment applications can be delayed
with little or no explanation.
In general, foreign capital investment is primarily governed by the foreign
capital investment law, as well as by presidential and ministerial decrees. The
Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) and other relevant agencies must
approve all proposed foreign manufacturing investments in Indonesia. Investment
in petroleum extraction, mining, forestry, and banking is covered by specific
laws and regulations and handled by relevant technical agencies.
The June 1994 investment reform package liberalized investment requirements
in a number of ways. Most foreign ownership limitations were abolished. The
package opened several previously closed sectors, such as ports, power
generation and transmission, telecommunications, shipping,, railways, and water
supply, to foreign investment. The May 1995 package added advertising to that
list. Joint ventures are still required in these sectors, but the amount of
Indonesian ownership is not stipulated. The May 1995 package also opened the
following sectors to 100 percent foreign investment: cooking oil, block board,
unfinished and semi-finished rattan, boilers, motor vehicles, cigarette
machines, gas lighters, prescription medicines, and aircraft repair. Only six
sectors open to domestic investors now remained wholly closed to foreign
investment. The 1994 reforms also eliminated divestment requirements, except for
wholly foreign owned ventures. These must now divest an unspecified share of
foreign ownership within 15 years.
Joint ventures with a majority Indonesian share, or in which Indonesians own
45 percent of shares and where at least 20 percent of total stock is sold
through the Indonesian stock market, are treated as domestic companies for
certain purposes. This includes the ability to borrow short-term working capital
in rupiah from state banks.
In March 1996, Indonesia announced a "pioneer" auto industry policy, intended
to promote the establishment of an indigenous Indonesian auto industry. The
program grants import tariff and tax preferences only to auto companies that
meet certain requirements, including that they be fully Indonesian owned, use a
unique Indonesian brand name, and meet specified domestic content levels within
three years. The program could put foreign auto manufacturers in Indonesia at a
severe competitive disadvantage, and may be inconsistent with Indonesia's
obligations under the WTO.
Indonesia's wood products sector remains heavily protected. Earlier
government prohibitions on the export of raw rattan, logs, and timber (replaced
with prohibitively high export taxes in May 1992) had the stated purpose of
boosting domestic processing industries and protecting the environment. High
export taxes on sawn timber have been in place since 1989. The Government of
Indonesia's practices in the wood industry have acted as obstacles not only to
entry in the Indonesian market but also in the third-country markets such as
Japan and Europe where American finished and processed wood products compete
with Indonesian products.
Some companies benefit from restrictive licensing regulations which severely
inhibit competition in a number of areas in the domestic economy such as cement,
fertilizer, and household gas.

The land is rising because magma and hydrothermal fluids are migrating into the volcano's underground chambers, Smith explained.
"It's really kind of a sponge, where you have interlaced open spaces with magma and solid rock between. Only 10 percent [of the chambers are] actually made up of molten rock."
The current uplift was detected by global positioning system stations and radar instruments on an orbiting satellite.
Kenneth Pierce of the U.S. Geological Survey in Bozeman, Montana, has studied ancient water levels in Lake Yellowstone to track elevation changes in the underlying portions of the caldera (see a map of Yellowstone National Park).
He said the newly detected upswell is part of a natural cycle that is common to calderas.
"Since about 14,000 years ago, the Yellowstone caldera has inflated and deflated about six to eight times without a volcanic eruption," he said.
Smith agreed. "Calderas go up and down," he said. "We use the term 'restless' to describe these systems."
But, he added, "occasionally they burp."
When the volcano might "burp" next isn't clear, because highly accurate, modern instruments have only been around for a few years, Smith explained.
"It's hard to predict what's going to happen in the future when you have such a short record," Smith said.
Hot Spot
One thing that is certain is that the Yellowstone volcano isn't dead.
Many scientists believe the volcano is produced by a "hot spot" in the Earth's mantle, a plume of hot rock rising from hundreds of miles below.
Since the hot spot first rose 16 million years ago, it has produced at least 140 eruptions throughout the northwestern United States, Smith said.
To gauge any future volcanic activity, the park is continuously monitored by instruments associated with the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, which is jointly administered by the University of Utah, the U.S. Geological Survey, and Yellowstone National Park, he added.
"These provide information of public safety, daily [and] in real time."

Boštjan Primožič (2010) Prototype of gadgets for the web site of Faculty of computer and information science. EngD thesis.
Download (1271Kb)
Diploma paper discusses a development of the so-called Google gadgets, miniature web applications that represent a new way of informing a user. They can be incorporated into different places. Most commonly that is iGoogle webpage or a desktop, but they can be placed on any other webpage as well. Apart from the gadgets themselves that serve as a method of presenting web contents, technology in the background which generates these contents is of equal importance. The ultimate purpose of my diploma paper was to make gadgets that would offer a simple access to frequently used information in connection with studies to students of the Faculty of computer and information science. Currently, these gadgets are scattered on many webpages; from the webpage of the faculty and e-Študent system to the web classroom. As a result, 9 gadgets have been made, each of them enabling access to particular information: as for example a gadget that involves a daily or a weekly schedule or the one that offers a list of subjects for each individual student, as well as news and notifications. We hope that students will find them useful and will make suggestions for their further improvement and expansion of their functionality.

The blog I need help with is myhonestmistakes.wordpress.com.
Hi. Search engine keywords are listed separately from referrers. See here please:
Yes, thanks. I understand that separation. But I have never, until very recently, seen Google.com listed as a referrer. Could this be from a Gmail account, perhaps?
I've had the same thing happen just today. I wonder if you found an answer...
I don't have an answer. Maybe these are spam referrers http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/regarding-referrer-spam?replies=1
Not sure. Usually spam referrers do not appear in my stats at Get Clicky or StatCounter. However, this visitor from Google.com appeared in both tracking sites as most typical visitors do. I'm still scratching my head over this one.
Please contact Staff > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
Would prefer to see the "Search Engine Terms" for all the Google queries, instead of seeing a whole bunch of Google referrers. That's how it used to be.
I like to see what people are looking for!
I have an answer. It has two parts:
A large part of the Google referrals you're seeing are probably from Google+. I know that's the case with me: I can tell by what people are reading.
As well, I dunno about you but Google has been entirely missing from my stats lately, till its sudden triumphant return yesterday. There's a disconnect between Google and WP.com stats reporting that staff need to iron out so we can see the specific search terms.
Thanks for your reply raincoaster!
I see some from Google+, but the rest are from Google countries (google.co.uk).
It appears to be a huge Google migration from the search terms to referrers, at least in my case. The ratio was about 5:1 (search to referrers) now it's reversed.
Yes, I've recently noticed an upsurge in international Google referrer stats, too, and I also think that Google is appearing more frequently as a referrer. I'd often have a long list of search engine terms in a day with no Google referrer. Now, I have both.
I wonder if it shows in referrers rather than search terms if it's only an Image search, and they don't read the actual blog? Speculation on my part.
I think you're onto something there, raincoaster. My blog is image-rich, so that could explain it. Still a bit of a weird shift in my stats though.
I concur... I see lots of image referrals too.
I had a search today from Sweden - listed in the Referrers section and the search terms were not in the search terms - when I clicked on the links in Referrers I was sent to my site with a picture in the foreground and my site underneath it sort of obscured - closed the picture in the foreground and I was on my site. And both Posts do show in the Posts section of the traffic.
The advantage of an odd search string and relative light traffic to your sites I guess.
Aha! So it IS image search.
WordPress.com blogs have the world's best SEO for images, I swear.
In my eyes it can't be simply image search, as the shift has been SUDDEN and TOTAL, literally overnight, starting some days ago in my case (today is the 27th).
Besides, I do not get the "old" referrers anymore, and in at least one case I got a load of referrals from one internet site without my "referrer" windw saying anything about it.
This morning, additional evidence ofa problem: I gota load of pageviews (with two blog posts with far more page views than the hompegae, a clear sign that someone is linking to my blog posts and attracting a load of pageviews as always happened in the past) and no trace of who is linking to me on the "referrer" window.
I think WordPress should deal with this, as the way it is now the "referrer" window has completely lost its information value and I am supposed to read internet searches in the window below the referrer one.
I don't think it is from image searches, either, as my blog has very few images. However, I wonder if clicks on cached pages show up differently in stats? Both my traffic analytics sites sometimes show users who have viewed my cached posts, though the search terms don't show up on my WP stats page.
I have today on my "referrer" window a group called "images.google.com"; this seems to confirm what you say, that all the other google referrers are not image searches.
The window is not working properly, I think.
I have found the site that has linked to my blog. The two blog posts have originated up to now exactly 499 pageviews. There is no trace whatsoever of this on my "referrer" window.
In the vent that you require or desire Staff help then please contact them. Here's the link http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ After you type in "Google as a referrer" into the searchbox at the bottom of the page there will be a section that says "Have you found the answer to your question?" You can choose either "Yes I found the answer to my question." or "No I didn't find the answer to my question and I would like to contact support for help." The no option will reveal the contact form.

I suffer from 'oppressia'
23rd December 2013 · 0 Comments
By David Dennis Jr.
Contributing Writer
I went to my doctor yesterday to get some medication. I suffer from a distinct, untreatable disease. I'm Black and I suffer from Oppressia. Just let it be known now, in case I somehow get arrested for a crime I commit.
Just last week a Fort Worth judge, Jean Boyd, let teenager Ethan Couch off the hook for killing four people in a drunk driving accident based on the fact Couch suffered from "affluenza." The "disease" basically means that Boyd comes from such an affluent family and has been so spoiled all of his life that basic human rules of decency don't apply to him. Since Couch has been given everything, he doesn't know better. Basically, his parents' wealth excuses him from murder.
Couch was 16 and only had his driver's license for two months. He wasn't supposed to be able to drive anyone younger than 21 in his car. He got drunk. He drove 70 miles per hour down a winding road. He killed four people. According to the judge, he did all of these things because he's rich. The poor kid is so afflicted with millions that he doesn't know right from wrong.
Where can I sign up for this disease? Is there a really expensive bottle of water Couch and I can share to pass on the affliction? Are there millions of dollars his family would like to pass on to me to release themselves of this debilitating circumstance. I'll gladly take on their financial burden.
However, I'm not sure if I'm totally safe for society. I have illnesses too. I have a disease that comes from years of seeing people act destructively without consequence. I have Oppressia.
How is this related to Affluenza? Let's compare.
Ethan couch grew up in an environment where consequences don't matter. Where, because of his social status, he wasn't taught right from wrong (allegedly). He never saw people punished for their actions so he felt he could act accordingly. This, now, is a disease that is tantamount to insanity in that it's severe enough to get him out of going to jail.
I suffer from a similar disease. I've lived a life watching people flourish without consequences. I saw what happened when a government simply refuses to take care of the citizens of one of its major cities. I've seen a country initiate wars on undeserving nations. I've seen police stop and harass people of color, even resorting to murdering unarmed innocents and not face jail time. I saw the George Zimmerman trial. Trust me, I know all about what it means to be privileged. And I'm not quite sure I know what it means to be rightfully punished for a crime.
So where does this put me when I shoot someone and want to avoid jail for committing a crime? What if I rob someone because I want to just take what's mine without asking for it? Isn't that what this country was built on? This is the history I was always taught. Will a judge let me off the hook because I suffer from Oppressia: the lack of understanding of right and wrong based on lessons taught to me by oppressors?
If so, I know a few million people afflicted with the same disease I have. You do too. They're toiling away in the prison economic system that this state's economy is based upon.
Katrina was one of the most grave injustices in American history. An entire city was neglected, cast away and left to its own devices to survive while our own government acted as if the victims were the criminals. Then, the spoils went to the highest bidders while our children were left to the wolves.
The children of this city know all too well what it's like to see neglect, destruction and incompetence treated without remorse or consequence. So, I hope the hospitals across the city and country are staffed up. There are going to be long lines. We all need tests and expert opinions.
We all suffer from Oppressia.

According to Bloomberg, Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd., the Chinese company that bought the world's biggest pork supplier this year, will join Alfa SAB (ALFAA)'s Sigma Alimentos food unit in a raised bid for Spain's Campofrio Food Group SA (CFG).
Shuanghui, based in Hong Kong, and Mexico's Sigma will increase the bid for Campofrio to €6.90/share from €6.80, the companies said in a joint statement. That values the company at about €705 million ($966 million). Sigma and Shuanghui plan to delist Campofrio after the transaction.
Shuanghui will indirectly hold its 37% stake in Campofrio after the offer, and Sigma Alimentos, Mexico's largest processed-meats producer, will indirectly hold its own 45% stake plus shares acquired in the bid. Last month, Sigma Alimentos offered €6.80/share for Madrid, Spain-based sausage maker Campofrio.

Setting Goals
Long‑range business goals will be the cornerstone of your company's MBO program. To achieve these goals, you must have a method to communicate them to your managers and employees. One way is to bring managers and employees into the process by asking them to help formulate the company's short‑ and long‑range goals. If they have a role in establishing the goals, they will be more committed to achieving them.
All goals should relate to and support the long‑range objectives for the company. In this way, you can ensure that the goals of all levels of management are consistent. If goals are incompatible, you may find that employees feel like the middle manager of a research and development company who exclaimed in a seminar, How can I set my goals when I don't know where top management wants to go?
Types of Goals
What areas of your managers' work are suitable for goal setting? Ask managers to identify the most important aspects of their work. In each area, they should set both short‑ and long‑term goals. Carefully developed goals, if attained, should give the manager better control of the job. Each manager should define one or two goals in each of the following categories:
- Regular work goals.
- Problem‑solving goals.
- Innovative goals.
- Development goals.
By asking your managers to set at least one goal in each of these four areas, you may open their eyes to new possibilities they had not seen before. The goal‑setting process can be a very useful educational step.
Regular Work Goals
These include the major part of the manager's responsibilities. For example, the head of production should focus on the quantity, quality and efficiency of production and the head of marketing should concentrate on developing and conducting the market research and sales programs. In defining their regular work goals, employees should include ways of
- Operating more efficiently.
- Improving the quality of the product or service.
- Expanding the total amount produced or marketed.
Problem‑Solving Goals
These provide managers an opportunity to define their major problems and to set a goal to solve each one. There is no danger of ever running out of problems; new problems or new versions of old problems are always present.
Innovative Goals
Because of the push for new products and new methods in today's marketplace, innovation now gets much attention in seminars and publications for top managers. Managers and workers should seek new and better production methods, explore better ways to serve customers and propose new products for the company. Managers will need to use innovative approaches to make the company competitive in a fast‑changing national and international economic environment.
Development Goals
In setting development goals, you and your managers recognize the importance of acquiring new skills. Managers should plan for the continued growth of each employee, both in technical areas and in work relations with fellow employees.
Devising a Work Plan
You and your managers should use a miniature work plan to develop goals that are complete and useful (see Exhibit 1). In developing the plan, the following five areas should be addressed:
- Goal
- Be specific and concise.
- Measurement
- What benchmarks will you use to measure whether you have achieved your goals? These usually can be expressed in quantitative terms.
- Major problems anticipated.
- Work steps -- List three or four of the most essential steps. Give completion dates for each.
- Supervisor's goals
- Employees should identify which of their manager's goals relate to their own goals.

NEW YORK (Jun. 15)
The establishment of an American-Israel Chamber of Commerce and Industry was announced here today by Nathan Strauss III, who was elected first president of the new American-Israel organization.
Mr. Strauss revealed that the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce and Industry was sponsored by The Manufacturers' Association, Chambers of Commerce and The Farmers Federation of Israel, which, together with American leading business concerns, formed the Chamber as an American membership association incorporated under the laws of the State of New York.
"The Chamber," Mr. Strauss said, "was established to meet a long-felt need for a non-governmental and responsible body to bring in direct contact business men of both countries – for trade promotion purposes, provision of up to date information and accurate data, market research, arbitration, and other accepted functions of a foreign Chamber of Commerce."
Mr. Strauss pointed out that actual trading activities between the U.S. and Israel have already passed the $100 million mark annually, and that over one thousand American firms are doing business – "and good business" -with Israel. He emphasized that the Chamber has been assured full assistance by the U. S. Department of Commerce and was established with the full support of the Israel Government.
"We have full confidence in Israel's economy and its progressive development," Mr. Strauss said. "It is our purpose to ensure that the United States keep its lead in the Israel market and in the business activity that will be forthcoming in view of Israel's rapid economic development and growing population. At the same time, we shall do our utmost to increase Israel's exports to this country."

Well, Hello! I'm back from my week's travel, it's a beautiful sunny Saturday, and I've got goodies to show you. I've been a very lucky girl in the last several weeks and I've received some adorable gifts that I'm so excited about that I can't keep them to myself.
First up, that oh-so-sweet Mrs. Farmhouse sent me some awesome eggs made out of old quilts. I LOVE them! They came all wrapped up in a clear plastic bag and I could hardly bear to unwrap them. It was necessary though, in order to get a decent photo without plastic-glare. Aren't they cool? I had never seen anything like them and I love them (oh sorry, I already said that — I think I'm saying love too much too, but oh well — I mean it!) I love the tag that came with them too. I'm thinking I'll surely have to leave them out year round.
And what the heck??? Look who jumped into that bowl with those eggs. An Easter-Annie! I'm sure I don't even need to tell you where she came from — but I will anyway — it was non other than Ms. Sharon! She's soooo cute — I'm crazy about her! Look at the little easter bunnies on her dress. Both of these gifts were totally unexpected and I'm SO touched to have received them.
(Naturally, TheEmptyNestChild thinks EasterAnnie is for him…you may remember he loves stuffies. Have no fear however, EasterAnnie will be safely placed out of his reach!)
And last, but certainly not least, last summer I signed up for a PIF from the Fabulous Mrs. Locket and it arrived this week!!! She sent me a famous Locket Wallet, an adorable pincushion (with an embroidered depiction of her little Fred selling cakes) and some English tea. (The tea was an incredibly considerate alternative to candy — since we're both watching the goodie intake. And may I just say that Ms. Locket has been much more successful than me!)
I Lurve my little wallet and pincushion. How cute is that cupcake fabric??? It's the perfectly sized wallet for outings with my little felted purse — my normal wallet is too big.
And look how cool — I was worried about where to store coins with this little wallet, but it has a zipper on the back with a pocket that will be just perfect. I love the cupcakes, the pink, the polkies — just everything about this little wallet.
So, thank you, thank you to all of you….Karen, Sharon, and Lucy! You're all wonderful real-imaginary friends and I HEART all of you! I would say your kindness has rendered me speechless, but clearly I'm still talking. It's had that same effect though, on the heart, and I'm very grateful to all of you!
Now, I'll leave you with a pic of sweet little EasterAnnie. I thought it was funny how that fickle EmptyNestChild left her (see his tail as he walks away?) She's still happy though LOL!
Have a great weekend!
Oh, P.S. If you want to see some more cuteness, check out this little owl. Aaaccckkkk! And, if you're in the US, don't forget that this week is cupcake week on Martha. Here's a link to a cupcake promo — I hope this means some of the recipes for the cupcakes shown will be on the show this week. ;-)

Rose scores 36, Bulls top Pacers 96-90 in Game 2Posted by Inside Hoops
Apr 19
The AP reports:
Two playoff games, two dramatic victories for the favored Chicago Bulls, and all is right in Carlos Boozer's eyes.
Derrick Rose scored 36 points, Boozer added 17 points and 16 rebounds, and top-seeded Chicago escaped with another comeback victory over Indiana, beating the Pacers 96-90 on Monday night in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series…
Rose went wild again, scoring eight points over the final 4 minutes. Kyle Korver, who made a tiebreaking 3-pointer in Chicago's opening 104-99 victory Saturday, connected from long range to make it 90-85 with just over a minute left.
The Pacers still wouldn't go away.
A.J. Price drew a foul on Rose and hit three free throws to get Indiana within two with 23.4 seconds remaining. But Luol Deng made two free throws, Mike Dunleavy missed a 3-point attempt at the other end and Ronnie Brewer hit two foul shots to help the Bulls hold on…
The Pacers were right there even though they lost Darren Collison to a sprained left ankle late in the first half. Collison said X-rays were negative but he isn't sure if he will be available for Thursday night's Game 3 at Conseco Fieldhouse…
Granger led Indiana with 19 points, but Tyler Hansbrough struggled, finishing with just six points on 2-of-12 shooting after scoring 22 points in the opener.

OTC Derivatives Traders in EU Face Tougher Rules From Tomorrow
Traders in over-the-counter derivatives will face tougher disclosure rules from tomorrow as part of an EU push to regulate transactions that take place outside authorized venues.
The EU rules will require banks and other firms that conduct OTC transactions to provide more data to so-called trade repositories, including information on the value of contracts and on related collateral, according to the EU's website.
"The complexity of these new obligations, and the short timeframe" means that "many firms just aren't ready for this Friday's deadline," Crispian Lord, regulation partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in London, said in an e-mail.
Global regulators are seeking to toughen rules for the $639 trillion market for OTC derivatives, which became a target for oversight after the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the rescue of American International Group Inc., (AIG) two of the largest traders in credit default swaps.
The Group of 20 nations set an end-2012 deadline for nations to adopt rules requiring standard forms of OTC derivatives to be processed through clearinghouses, and logged in trade depositories.
While the EU approved legislation last year, it was unable to adopt all the associated implementing rules before the end 2012 deadline.
The measures that take effect tomorrow are part of a package of implementing standards published by the EU last month.

I am extremely happy that you have made it to my blog. I would like to welcome parents, educators and and communities out there who share the love and passion of teaching Spanish to children.
My name is Carolina Gomez, and I am originally from Colombia where I have spent a great deal of my life. I am happily married to an American who shares the passion for languages with me. He and I have the most wonderful children who are being raised in a bilingual casita and enjoy the benefits of both cultures. As part of our commitment to raising bilingual children we travel to Colombia whenever we have a bit of time free so our children can spend time with abuelito and abuelita while being immersed in Spanish and enjoy everything from abuelita's kitchen.
When we moved to the United States, with my background as a language teacher I moved to teaching Spanish to children and I am extremely glad I moved to the US because here I really found my passion for teaching Spanish to young learners.

Whether Troy's Downtown Business Improvement District continues to exist will be determined Thursday when ballots cast by 1,650 commercial property and business owners will be counted to see if the sun will set on the district.
"This is a promise kept, that the vote would happen," said Tom Nardacci, president of the BID board and owner of Gramercy Communications.
When the City Council approved the BID's creation in 2009 by a 7-2 vote, a requirement was that those taxed to support the district could vote again on its continued existence. The mission of the BID, which has hit its third anniversary, is to help sell Troy to outsiders and attract people to downtown. It promotes beautification and Chowderfest and Rockin' on the River.
"We're bringing tens of thousands of people to downtown Troy for events. We're raising the brand of Troy," Nardacci said. "It's all in addition to what the city is doing."
Commercial properties are levied 5 percent of their city property tax bill, or nearly $75,000, to partially pay for BID operations. Another $300,000 in revenues comes from special events, grants and donations.
Some business owners have criticized the BID for not doing enough for businesses not along River Street or on nearby blocks.
"If we have to have it, I want to see something done," said Michael LoPorto, owner of LoPorto Ristorante Caffe at 85 Fourth St. He opposed creating a BID; he later became a council member. "Are they going to do something on Fourth Street?" asked LoPorto.
Nardacci said BID Board of Directors adopted a policy to for marketing, volunteers and other support to businesses wanting to hold events. A strategic plan, he said, also addresses this issue.
In the case of Fourth Street, Nardacci said he has met with LoPorto about events for the block.BID Executive Director Erin Pihlaja said new maps and promotional materials are coming.
BID's annual meeting is 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Rensselaer County Historical Society, 57 Second St. Ballots will be tallied there.
"People feel good about the BID," Nardacci said. "If there's no BID, how do these events carry on?"

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Interleukin-2
|Phase 1 Phase 2
IL-2 is a biological response modifier that can improve the body's response to disease. It is hoped that IL-2 treatment can help restore CD4 cell counts and immune function in people whose immune systems have been damaged by HIV. Over the last 10 years, NIAID has sponsored a number of important studies of IL-2 in HIV infected people; many of these trials are ongoing. This study was developed in an effort consolidate these separate, smaller trials into one larger study so that results between the trials can be shared and used to develop future protocols. This study is an umbrella study that will provide long-term administrative support, treatment, and monitoring for ongoing Phase I and II IL-2 trials and their participants. It is primarily intended for patients in the extension phases of any previous NIAID Clinical Center HIV Program (NIAID/CCMD) intramural research protocols in which IL-2 therapy continues to be offered. Blood collection will occur through a patient's participation in this study.
Participants will continue to follow the protocol in which they originally enrolled. A desired therapeutic goal or "CD4 plateau" will be used in most cases to help clinicians determine when a participant requires additional IL-2. In general, if a participant has two or more consecutive CD4 counts below the CD4 plateau, additional IL-2 will be administered to that patient. In maintaining uniformity among the many trials being consolidated under this trial, the frequency and nature of study visits will be solely dictated by this umbrella study. Participants will also be asked to join an optional substudy: Interrupted Versus Continuous Antiretrovirals Involving Randomization from the Umbrella Study (ICARUS).

Data Analysis
Extracting Actionable Information from Data
We are surrounded by systems with terabytes of data from which actionable information can be difficult to extract. If you can define what information you are interested in and differentiate it from other data, our data analysis tools and skilled West Chester, PA professionals can help you find it. The ability to perform data analysis procedures is limited only by defined objectives, the data, available tools, skill and creativity.
Data analytics allow you to examine a large number of transactions or records quickly rather than manually sampling a handful of transactions. Utilizing data analysis procedures can provide detailed information on an entire population of transactions and increase your efficiency.
Data analysis can be used to identify transactions meeting specified criteria, provide statistics on a population of information and identify unusual patterns of information.
Data analysis procedures can be designed to search for specific transactions, evidence of controls, indicators of fraud or other unusual patterns of activity. Data analytics can be applied to any West Chester, PA industry or organizational-specific data sets or transactions including the following data sets and transaction types:
|• Disbursements/Procurement
• Credit Card Transactions
• Contracts
• Human Resources
• Insurance Claims
• Inventory
• Journal Entries
|• Loan Data
• Payroll
• Receiving Data
• Sales Commissions
• Telephone Usage
• Time & Expense
• West Chester Vendor Information
Data analysis procedures are often easy to oversimplify when first articulated. Consider the following description of a data analysis project as an example:
Let's pull the data from the time and expense system and then run some procedures to determine if there are any problems with time and expense reporting, we should be done in a couple of hours.
This description does not define a clear objective and understates the complexity and steps required to obtain, understand and evaluate data as well as the performance of follow-up procedures. The chart below summarizes the key steps in a data analysis project:

Passover begins at sundown on Monday. One of this holiday's many traditions includes selling all bread products in a Jewish household to a non-Jew. These days, families don't even have to venture from their computers to accomplish that ancient ritual.
During the week of Passover, practicing Jews don't eat Chametz. Which is, more or less, anything made from grain that has been in contact with water for more than 18 minutes -- like bread, or cereal. What Jews eat instead, is matzo – unleavened crackers that symbolize freedom of Jews from slavery in Egypt.
As Passover approaches, many Jews across New Hampshire – and the world – scour their homes, removing any trace of chametz. Why? For one, if you take the Torah literally, eating chametz during Passover will result in the extinction of your soul. So, you wouldn't want to accidentally swallow a cookie crumb. But mostly, removing chametz is a symbolic ritual. Manchester's Rabbi Levi Krinsky says "chametz is symbolic of the ego, our own leavening of ourselves, our boastfulness."
To get rid of the chametz, you can either burn it, or you can sell it to a non-Jew. After Passover, that person can sell the chametz back to the Jewish family.
But instead of seeking out some random goy – congregants usually sign a contract allowing their rabbi to sell the chametz for them.
And with the help of technology you can even go online to do it, delegating the power of attorney on your behalf.
That's what Krinksy does for his Manchester congregation. Then, he delegates the responsibility again, to a single rabbi in New York.
He signs an agreement paper that says everything I send him I hereby authorize him to make the sale.
Then, hours after Passover, that non-Jew theoretically sells the food back to the thousands of original owners via those two rabbis, without the chametz ever leaving anybody's home. On a larger scale, Israel sells $150 billion in prison and emergency food supplies to a non-Jewish hotel owner, who sells it back a week later.

Ok, so I picked it up today, but...have a bit of a problem. After I saved it and tried to load it after turning the pack off, I got the following message right after the title screen:
[Screen message]
A communication error has occured.
If you were in the Union Room, you will be returned there.
In all other cases, you will be returned to wherever you last saved.
Please press the A button.
[/Screen Message]
So anyways, after "pressing the A button", it just sits there for a while and doesn't load or anything. Does anyone have this problem too? And I saved in the middle of a field just outside the first town. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!


text: In my last group, we had a healing rotation and my SS was put in there and staggered along with tranq and healing tide and we downed the boss. I've since joined a new group and although I noticed that SS often comes off CD in sync with Quake Stomp, sometimes it literally comes up just as Quake Stomp is being cast and I get only a couple POH casts before the stomp goes out or sometimes it's just not ready. RL is also asking me to SS every stomp but I just can't get it to completely line up right. Even going in early at 20s before the first stomp I can blanket everyone on the first, second only a couple casts, third just doesn't line up at all... am I doing something wrong or is it just not possible to completely SS every stomp? Went in again in LFR to see if something was wrong with my timing but again couldn't get it to line up with each stomp. We're still downing the boss and I'm still top healer on the fight but just want some definitive answers to the Quake Stomp CD vs SS CD so I can tell the RL as a matter of fact whether or not it's possible to SS every stomp.

The Colombia international joins Paul Lambert's side on the eve of their opening game of the Premier League season at Stoke City as they look to improve on a 15th-placed finish in 2013-14.
And the 28-year-old admitted he is looking forward to plying his trade in England after seeing compatriot and former Villa striker Juan Pablo Angel succeed on his arrival in the Midlands.
"I'm delighted to be here, it's something I have always dreamed of and it is very important for me to be here at Aston Villa, not only for me but for my family as well," he told the club's official website.
"It was always my aim to play in this country and in this league and I know Villa well as Juan Pablo also played here. I began to watch Villa games when he came in 2001. He was a goalscorer who was very important to this club and I followed his time here because he was always scoring goals."
Lambert has praised the midifielder's eye for a tackle as he looks to add some steel to his side ahead of the new season.
"He does the simple things really well and he's excellent at spotting the danger, dealing with it and keeping it simple. His physical strength, too, is something we will benefit from in the middle of the pitch and his role will be a really important one for the team," he said.
"We've beaten other teams to bring him here to Villa and I'm delighted as we needed someone of his ilk to come in. He'll be an excellent player for the club."
Sanchez started four out of five games for his country in the World Cup in Brazil and moves to Villa Park after just one season in La Liga with Elche.

Sampson's hiring gives UH fans reason to be excited
Addition gives fans reason to look toward future instead of at pastApril 2, 2014
Kelvin Sampson will be introduced as the head men's basketball coach at the University of Houston on Thursday.
If you are a UH fan, you should be happy.
Sampson is an exceptional coach. He could be the perfect choice to take the program to a place it hasn't been in far too long.

"They couldn't have found a better coach than Kelvin," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "He has had success wherever he's been, and he's excited for the opportunity."
The UH program could use an infusion of excitement. Sampson, who led 13 of his last 15 squads (at Indiana, Oklahoma and Washington State) to the NCAA Tournament, should bring that.
"It's a big loss for us, but I'm happy for him," Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said. "He's a head coach. Everything about him says head coach. We feel like we like borrowed him for a couple years as an assistant. UH is lucky to get him."
The departure of James Dickey, a good coach who looked to be making progress in turning the program into one in which the university could be proud when he resigned for family reasons, made little ripple in local news.
That is a shame. UH basketball should be better than that.
A former UH player and team captain, a man who cares about the program as much as any Cougar, emails me a couple times a month with messages that are more sour than subtle.
"Put a tent over it," he says.
To read this article in one of Houston's most-spoken languages, click on the button below.
"Run for cover. The tent is falling down," he warns.
"How many clowns are in the car?" he asks.
If you have trouble comprehending his central message, he thinks the UH athletic department has been, and is, one big circus. He is wrong. People actually attend the circus.
A few weeks ago, before the final home game of their careers, UH's senior basketball players posed for a photo standing alongside Dickey and school vice president for intercollegiate athletics Mack Rhoades.
It was a sad picture. In the background, there were almost as many people seated in the stands as there were on the court.
UH has always had attendance issues - the Phi Slama Jama squads never drew crowds they deserved - but in recent years, Cougars basketball has been a non-factor in this city's entertainment discussion.
Winning might not cure all, but it would be a start.
The question of why UH can't have a winning basketball program would be one to tackle if we could get past the question of why UH can't have a halfway decent program.
Dickey seemed to have something going. He deserves some credit for that. It took him a minute to get going, but at least the recruiting has picked up and the squad could play with decent teams. The Cougars beat Final Four participant UConn this season.
Tom Penders had a moment or two in his stretch, but his moment or two, for a variety of reasons - not all of which were his fault - were not enough to make the Cougars relevant again and certainly didn't galvanize the UH fan base.
Dickey's unexpected departure gave Rhoades an opportunity to do something that hasn't been done in a long time at UH: hire somebody who will make UH fans stop talking so much about the past and start looking toward the future.
Since Guy Lewis retired, the perception (and reality) has been that the school's best basketball days were behind it.
A great past shouldn't mean the future is dim.
Guy V. and star players like Elvin Hayes, Rob Williams, Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler left huge shoes to fill, but UH hasn't added much to their legacy.
It continues to play in and outdated arena. A new practice facility is finally in the works, but much more needs to be done to bring the facilities up to speed with the rest of big-time college basketball.
Sampson could be just the person to push the program to the next level. His teams have always played tough. They have always been fun to watch.
There is a reason I have yet to mention Sampson's issues with the NCAA, which led to his resignation from Indiana in 2008.
They are that insignificant in terms of his ability to coach basketball. They are that meaningless in terms of whether UH should want to hire him.
Not only are his so-called crimes (more phone calls to recruits than were permissible) not even against the current rules, his punishment - a five-year show-cause penalty, which pretty much kept him out of the college coaching business since 2008 - was too harsh.
Because of those penalties, UH was able to hire a man who is hungry to return to the top of the sport and one who is capable of winning big and winning now. A coach whom it couldn't have hired five or 10 years ago.
That is the best news UH basketball has had in some time.

I understand that view. It's equivalent to sending HTML as text/plain and not expecting that it be displayed as HTML. It's a reasonable argument, primarily because the specification of */xml doesn't say what to expect, plus not all XML uses namespaces. Assuming no dispatch would at least provide some consistentcy. So let's say we define a new media type for which this dispatching behaviour is required. Then publishers describing their content with that type would expect that the first processor (other than the one for the media type) to see the content would be, in your example, an SVG processor.

The following editorial first appeared in the Chicago Tribune:
Casey Stengel, who managed the New York Mets in their inaugural 1962 season, when they set a record for losses, once said ruefully, "I've been in this game a hundred years, but I see new ways to lose I never knew existed before." He could have been a voter, circa 2011, watching the Republican presidential field in action.
With the economy in an extended stall and President Barack Obama's approval rating down, you might think 2012 would be an easy year for Republicans to recapture the White House. But handed a golden opportunity, they have been trying their best to hand it back.
What a change this crop of candidates is from those who sought the nomination in past out years. In 1996, the race attracted heavyweights like Sens. Bob Dole, Phil Gramm and Richard Lugar, as well as former Education Secretary Lamar Alexander.
In 2000, the contest featured such serious figures as Gov. George W. Bush, Sen. John McCain and former Labor Secretary Elizabeth Dole. But this year's campaign often resembles a remake of "The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight."
In Wednesday's debate, Texas Gov. Rick Perry couldn't remember the third of three federal departments he wants to abolish — a gaffe that National Journal called "the worst stumble in the 51-year history of televised presidential debates."
But in the contest to look inept, Perry has plenty of competition — such as former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain, who leads the field in the latest CBS News poll in spite of himself.
He doesn't seem to understand his own tax plan, and he has spent a couple of weeks defending himself against allegations of unwanted advances by four different women. In case anyone failed to suspect that Cain has retrograde ideas about women, he referred to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as "Princess Nancy."
Michele Bachmann? She won the Iowa straw poll, then went on national TV to claim that the HPV vaccine can cause mental retardation — a claim rejected by scientists.
Newt Gingrich might fill the resulting vacuum, if Republicans can forget his history of adultery and the ethics violation that made him the first speaker ever to be reprimanded by the House of Representatives. His irritable self-infatuation probably won't wear well.
Rick Santorum has what is delicately called a "Google problem" stemming from his fierce opposition to gay rights — not to mention that an aide to John McCain once said, "In my 20 years in the Senate, I never met a dumber member."
The most intriguing prospect appears to be a square peg in the GOP circle. Jon Huntsman shows promise. He's a knowledgeable former diplomat who handles himself well before the public. He had a conservative record as governor of Utah, but because of his moderation on climate change and civil unions, many in the Republican Party regard him as a John Kerry impersonator.
Ron Paul's support for legalizing drugs and slashing the defense budget make him a strong possibility for the nomination — of the Libertarian Party.
Mitt Romney has done well as a businessman and a governor, but he has done nothing to shake his reputation as a shameless flip-flopper. He went to Ohio before a statewide vote on a measure curbing the collective-bargaining rights of public employee and, when asked, declined to take a position. Then he endorsed it.
This stage of the campaign may be akin to when a new musical opens somewhere out of town, where its flaws can be identified and fixed before it goes to Broadway. There is still time to get things right.
Six months from now, one of these candidates may morph into someone who appears able not only to win the GOP nomination but make a plausible replacement for the incumbent president. But anyone who hopes to beat Obama had better show the American people something a lot better than what they've seen so far.

I was able to get out last night in my new HRTQ. My old down bag is a bit of a monster i made 20 yrs ago. It weighs five pounds so when the HRQ came my first thought was ,"did they send me the Shanendoah??? LOL. On further inspection i saw that it indeed was the HRQ, i just wasn't use to the light weight and high quality down. So i had my WBBB , my Yeti3, and the HRTQ , and a bit of foam in the FB. I was wearing a touque, cotton tee shirt, cotton boxers and smartwool sox. I went to bed around 10:30. I didn't look at the temp but i suspect it was around 40. I was pleasantly surprised when i got in and immediately felt very warm with the HRQ. I was so warm in fact i had to vent several times over the next 1 1/2 hrs. I was very toasty warm. Temps got down to about 33 degrees and i was still warm. I felt the odd cool spot once and a while as my leg might lean into an uninsulated part of the WBBB but no big deal. All in all i'm very happy with the HRQ. The Jacks make great stuff with high quality materials and their shipping time was fast. The only real problem i have with the HRQ is that now i want to buy more of their stuff.
I wore the bare essentials in the way of clothes so adding some merino wool and fleece to the equation should get me into the twenties. Thanks Jack and Jack

Nyhavn 71 Aug 20, 2012
When I arrived in Copenhagen I did not have anywhere to stay so I walked up and down Nyhaven and the side streets around it trying to find a room. It was their busy season, so I was expecting not to have much luck. Fortunately, I decided to walk into this hotel marked only by a black sign reading "71" at the very end of Nyhavn. The fact that it was at the very end of Nyhavn was nice because it was far enough away from the busiest area of the street that you could hear Copenhagen becoming more lively, but it did not sound as if it were happening in your doorstep. I had never been to Copenhagen before, so the fact that it was on this street was good for me as it was a close walk to many restaurants,city hall and the metro was close by, as well as the main shopping street. I also found that this was the best place to people watch which (one of my favorite activities). The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the room was a bit small but charming and perfect for my purposes.

Quentin Tarantino is facing a lawsuit from a screenwriter who has accused the director of copying his idea for the "Kill Bill" movies.
Dannez Hunter alleges he sent a story to bosses at film company Miramax in 1999, about a fictional character named Ren.
The writer claims his idea was used by Tarantino in his two-part martial arts epic, which featured a character called O-Ren, played by Lucy Liu. The legal documents, obtained by TMZ.com, claim Tarantino took the "concept/character name Ren" from Hunter's work.
Hunter also alleges he applied for a job at Miramax and was "never given a return phone call."
He has filed suit in California demanding royalty payments from the two films, amounting to more than $1 million.
