October 2017: IPC Private Wealth Manager Insights
Featuring short audio interviews with our IPC Private Wealth investment specialists.
Are We Getting Complacent?
|Despite geo-political events such as the issues between North Korea and the United States, Tim notes that investor behaviour and market performance have surprisingly remained complacent. He also shares that forecasts of a recession are far from happening, as typical signs of a recession such as high oil prices or an inverted yield curve have not come to fruition. Tim also speaks to the value investors can gain from the sector rotation mandate during periods of downturn.
Mount Lucas Management is responsible for managing the North American Sector Rotation and Global Trend Strategy mandates.
Interest Rates to Blame? Maybe Not
|This quarter, Peter discusses how growth has outperformed value and how that affected the North American dividend fund. He also notes that despite interest rate hikes, stocks that normally would be affected by these are still performing, suggesting that there is more at play in the market. Peter also gives insight into why Lincluden's approach and process remains focused on value and quality.

Selecting the Best Ideas
|In seeking the best ideas for a concentrated portfolio, Mel mentions how they look to include companies with a strong competitive advantage and management process. He also talks about the shift that is occurring in the traditional Energy sector, and how the long term impacts of renewable energy, electric cars and energy efficiency may influence this sector. Mel ends with benefits that Sionna sees in looking beyond Canada for a broader sector selection in managing risk.

Amid reports that the league is considering moving the NFL Draft out of New York City as early as 2015, Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones admits he'd love to see the event shift to Big D.
"As you can imagine, we like the idea," Jones told KRLD-FM on Friday, per FOXSports.com. "Anything that we can do at AT&T Stadium for our fans, give them a more up close and personal look at, I think would be a plus."
Said Jones: "I think it's something that the league is seriously taking a look at. They've actually looked at making it multilocational in terms of doing a day in New York and a day in another city, something like that. There's a lot of things being discussed. At the end of the day, we're trying to make our game better for our fans, and that includes all aspects of it."
One benefit to finding additional host cities would be a lassoing of the draft back to late April. This year's event was pushed into May for the first time due to a conflict at schedule-packed Radio City Music Hall.
Commissioner Roger Goodell also noted last month that the draft could balloon into a four-day event instead of three.
Hosting a single draft in multiple cities sounds like a potential headache for the 32 teams involved, but the NFL will carefully consider its next move. What we do know: Those of you hoping for a quieter, more spartan event are forever out of luck.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks down draft news and rumors and plays the popular prediction game, "Go Get My Lunch!"

How companies can effectively integrate their wellness initiatives into their organization's human capital strategy?

Why is it a bad idea to race someone else's Ferrari 348 across a bridge in Lillehammer, Norway? Moose. Massive, giant moose.
This is a clip from the upcoming second season of Netflix's Lilyhammer, where Steven Van Zandt plays a Brooklyn mobster on witness protection in Norway. Some of his gangsters get their hands on the aforementioned 348tb (sexy) and try and set the speed record across the Vingnes Bru. That kind of stuff is never a good idea, but things go especially sour when a giant moose appears in the road.
You can see how things get worse from there in the official Season Two trailer.

How to Use the Context
Inquiry Question
After WWI ended in 1918, President Woodrow Wilson presented his plan for a League of Nations to prevent further conflict. The League of Nations was an international organization, based in Geneva, Switzerland, where representatives of member nations met to resolve international issues. It preceded the United Nations. Although the idea was presented by the President of the United States, the U.S. Congress refused to ratify the treaty permitting America to join the League. Throughout the next two decades, a feeling of isolationism reigned. This desire for separation was buoyed in the 1920s by a relative rise in prosperity throughout the country. In the 1930s, tension grew in Europe and Asia as Germany and Japan became increasingly militaristic, even invading neighboring countries. Politicians in Washington were keeping a close eye on events around the world but the United States was hoping to stay out of any conflict. Many Americans did not want to get involved in another war.

Good Riddance Troy Percival
Is there really another team out there that desperate for a closer (besides the Rays) to consider a relief pitcher who pitched a total of 67 innings in two seasons for his last team? And on Thursday, when Percival could "officially" declared himself a free agent, Percival wasted no time informing MLB of his intentions this off season. So why am I so upset about a guy who is no longer our problem. Who will now be someone else's problem and have no financial or physical worth to this team.
Honestly, I do not want to see another set of baseball fans go through the same garbage we have the last two seasons. The buck has to stop here with Percival. At first I thought this MLB announcement was a misprint. Does Percival really feel he can rip off another team for a few million dollars without anyone calling BS after the way he showed his "professionalism" with the Rays. Percival threw only 67 total innings as a member of the Rays, and might be remembered more for what he did not do, than what was accomplished on the field.
Sure he took a few more strides up the All-Time Save list ladder while with the team, but he sacrificed team unity in the Bullpen and abandoned his team when they needed a veteran presence. He was weirdly admired by Rays Manager Joe Maddon for his past fire and brimstone, but that fire and that zeal were just embers when he played here in Tampa Bay, unless you called into question his abilities, then you got a fireworks display from Percival.
And while injured, Percival's "Greta Garbo" routine of wanting to be alone and rehab away from the team medical staff actually surfaced before he even donned a Rays uniform. Just ask the Detroit Tiger medical staff and fans who saw a total of 26 games and 25 innings from Percival before he went down for the count during the World Series season. He went on the DL that season and still collected his playoff share before finally leaving the team. Hmm, he did the same thing here in 2008, and stayed on the Rays roster the entire 2009 season hoping for a last payday if the Rays got to the playoffs.
And lets not forget his short stint as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals Bullpen when most thought he might be making a return to greatness, but instead threw only 40 innings in 34 games with zero saves. I guess considering that we got at least 32 saves out of his old body before the clunker again hits the skids should be viewed as a positive. But it is what he did on the mound and in plain sight of all of us that still makes me never trust someone like Percival. His "me first" mentality gnawed at me and fueled my personal dislike for the guy.
Maybe the first strike on his character came when I saw him out on the beaches at an Italian restaurant with someone extremely younger than his wife having some dinner. The way he acted in public did not show the social decorum usually associated with a professional athlete. It was not as if someone went up to him in the middle of his antipasto and asked for an autograph. He was rude to his own dinner guests. But maybe that is his personality. Maybe he is a rough and gruff guy by nature.
And his second strike while with the Rays was his outburst after a Sunday afternoon game in which a home fan innocently kept Evan Longoria from catching a foul ball near the Visitor's dugout and impeded the play by getting his hand on the ball and not letting Longoria make an easy out for the home team. After the final out of the game, Percival was seen barking out blue streak of words to the guy and his young son. That kind of actions might only be considered professional in the WWE.
And his third strike in my book has to be his boorish behavior of getting vocal and confrontational with the usually cool Maddon on the mound. Earlier this season in Baltimore, the most recent "Percy" moment was there for everyone to see as you yelling directly at Maddon in plain view of the television cameras. That to me is a total lack of respect for his Manager, and a move you would expect in the dugout,not on the mound in front of a stadium of people.
I am not discounting his injuries while he was here with the Rays, because he did have back and knee situations even during his first season with the team, but they seemed to disappear right after the season when he came to St. Petersburg to be examined by the Rays medical staff and collect his playoff money. He got a share of the pie because of his veteran status, but after the final home game in 2008 he was no where in sight during the Rays playoff run.
In 2008, Percival made three trips to the disabled list and managed to get 28 saves for the Rays before finally shutting it down for the season. He appeared in 46 games for the Rays and battled a hamstring strain twice before some loose cartilage in his right knee put him out for the rest of the year. And about that time he began his disappearing act to California to see his own doctors and chiropractors besides the Rays medical staff.
And the 2009 season started with a bit of optimism since he got some work done on his knee during the off season and he told the media he felt better physically then he had for a long time. And that was a good indicator of things could be on the upswing for the Rays. But on May 22, Percival threw his last pitch as a member of the Rays. That night he was put on the disabled list for a bout of shoulder tendinitis and was not seen on the bench again for the Rays.
What he has done as a member of the Rays might get him promoted to the top of my Rays former players garbage list with Gerald Williams and Vinny Castilla. Yeah, to me Percival was up there in that realm of grumpy, old players who own self worth was way above their team's own well being and chemistry. You would think a guy with all that post season experience and positive roles with championship teams would want to boost his teammates, but Percival was no where to be found during those moments.
Percival might have done great things to the community in Southern California that we do not know about, and he might be a local hero to fans and people in that community. But to us here in Tampa Bay we are hopefully saying goodbye to the likes of you Troy Percival for the last time. Please do not let the door hit you on the way out, and yes, I am bitter and disappointed in you as a player and as a man.
I really was excited when you first signed, but that quickly turned to disappointment as I got to see how you acted and reacted with fans and people during your time here. When you first got here I thought we had the first real closer personality here since Danys Baez and Roberto Hernandez, who are still the top 2 closers in Tampa Bay Rays history (thank goodness).
But the thing that further put you in my personal doghouse was the fact that you did not have a personal integrity to be here when the Rays Foundation gave away your 1970 Chevy Chevelle in a raffle during the 2009 season. You were not here to drive the car onto the field or even present the keys to the winner.
It would have been a truly classy move to be here and present the keys to a car you rebuilt for the Rays Foundation, then donated it to the charity. But as we have learned in the last two season here in Tampa Bay, the words "classy" and "Percival" have never seemed to go together.

Well he's 10 times the man you'll ever be. Things like this make me so angry but you crossed the line. I've never seen him not sign an autograph for a fan. He went to the rays to reform the clubhouse for his friend joe maddon. I seen his greatness coaching. And why couldn't he be there for that? Well sir, read my name, I couldn't raise myself. I've got a whole community to back me up. Bottom feeder? He's worked for everything he's ever had.

As a matter of fact, I don't know whether there is any difference between the source words in bold below:
From Latin ingeniosus ("endowed with good natural capacity, gifted with genius"), from ingenium ("innate or natural quality, natural capacity, genius"), from in ("in") + gignere ("to produce"), Old Latin genere. Compare French ingénieux; see also engine.
From Latin ingenuus ("of noble character, frank")
And I wanna know the help of discerning the Modern meanings of those two words with the grammatical suffixes in Old Latin or Greek above.

Cue the culture shock. Our dim sum guided lunch is not exactly for the faint of heart as we are going to an old school 1920's dim sum parlour. Think bird cages, spittoons and waitstaff who look like they're stuck in the 1950's. In fact, one of our guests called it, "The most comedic culinary experience in Hong Kong".
What is dim sum? Think of dim sum as Chinese tapas, small dishes meant to be shared around the table that is the epitome of Hong Kong food. Dim sum is a must eat when you're in Hong Kong. & we are going super old-school. During the lunch we are going to learn how to look for your own seats and wash our own dishes, explore the history, traditions and culture of dim sum, discover how to pour tea properly, and most importantly, how to get food. The dim sum lunch and Chinese tea is included in the price.
Note: The cut-off time for booking is 12am on the same day as the event. If you're still interested in the event, please email us directly at email@example.com to see if there are still spots available.

ATI's patented No-Hooks™ rapid prototyping software allows you to adjust ECU-controlled global RAM variables. The addition of OnTarget™ expands that capability by replacing or bypassing the original ECU code with custom model-based control algorithm code. This controls the selected RAM variables on the ECU under test. There is no need to access or modify the ECU source code. All you need is the ECU executable and description files.
OnTarget was designed for use with Simulink® models to develop alternative control algorithms. You can bypass variables with outputs from Simulink. This allows you to add new control algorithms to the existing ECU code without modifying original source code. The No-Hooks/OnTarget bypass runs inline with the rest of the original code on the target ECU. There is no need for data transfer protocols, or for the resulting delay of running the bypass on external devices. This translates to virtually no latency. OnTarget includes the appropriate Simulink block sets and target build files for generating C code using Simulink Coder™. It also includes block sets and target build files so you can use compilers like ATI GNU to compile code for supported microprocessors.
You can use No-Hooks/OnTarget in electronic control unit development, calibration, software verification, and diagnostics. Examples include:

As college seniors prepare to enter the real world in the next few weeks, they need to make sure their resume is up to par. Hiring managers usually decide if a candidate is worth pursuing after glancing at a resume for an average of 20 to 30 seconds research shows, so they need to be strong and concise.
Continue Reading Below
Graduating seniors should have a tailored resume that effectively shows their real-world experience, says Cynthia Shapiro, career strategist and author of What Does Somebody Have To Do To Get A Job Around Here?
"Don't just throw together what you have and imagine that an employer is just going to read between the lines to figure it out for you because they won't," she says. "You have to determine where you want to go and where you want to fit in and then tailor your resume accordingly."
Here are four resume mistakes the experts say seniors should avoid and how they can effectively list their experiences to show they are the right fit for the position they want.
Mistake 1: Simply Listing Job Duties
While it's important to be concise, soon-to-be grads should elaborate their responsibilities of past jobs to show how their learned skills translate to the open position.
Make sure the skills are highlighted prominently and show how they related to the job.
"Let's say you want a marketing job and you worked painting houses during the summer, well maybe you were the person who was in charge of going out and meeting people and getting them to sign on the dotted line," Shapiro says.
"That would be your first bullet point and anything related to marketing would be your first bullet point, even if it was only 1% of your job and then you would downplay the physical painting part."
Mistake 2: Using Weak Verbs
In order to make limited experience stand out, choosing the right words and syntax can make all the difference.
"Someone might list 'gave speeches as president of national association of Alpha Kappa,' but a better way to phrase that would be, 'elected to national association of Alpha Kappa as president and addressed audiences ranging from 50 to 100 people,'" says Laurie Brady, Ernst & Young's Americas Campus recruiting leader for assurance and global strategy.
"You can really see the difference that it's somewhat the same thing, but how much stronger it is and how much better it will come across when you're more quantifiable by using stronger action verbs."
Seniors should cite specific figures to complement their accomplishments, because it shows value in their experience, says executive and career coach Meredith Haberfeld.
"As a fund raiser, if you know that you generated $50,000 for your school, you can say 'increased collection amount by 17% year over year,'" she says. "Numbers speak far louder than words in a resume and they demonstrate the return on investment for the organizations you've worked for in the past and that you're committed to bring that same return on investment to whomever you work for next."
Mistake 3: Listing too Many Extracurricular Activities
Students and recent college graduates should only include experience garnered in college, says Brady.
"Having a one page resume demonstrates your ability to be concise and that's so important in the professional working world," she says.
By the same token, students should avoid including college extracurricular activities that aren't relevant to the position, warns Shapiro.
"Companies are not going to really care about college activities such as being party master at Pi Theta Kappa, unless it's something that's directly related like if you were the head of the school engineering club and you're going for an engineering job," she says. "The other things that only mean something in the college world should all come off. "
Mistake 4: Omitting Valuable Coursework Experience
Including academic and course work can speak volumes to recruiters about a students' experience and how they've been able to focus on a particular industry while in school.
"People who are just out of college should list all of the relevant courses they took that match the jobs they're going after, they should list the projects they did that show how they can get a project done and what their work ethic is like," says Shapiro.
Students should also include their graduation date, their degree they will earn and their GPA under the education section on their resume, suggests Brady.
"You always need to put your GPA on the resume because if it's not there, a recruiter is going to assume that it's below 3.0," she says. "I would also suggest if your GPA is higher within your major, break it apart: put your GPA overall and then put your major GPA because you want to show that you can do well in your core classes, which are what you want to focus on upon graduation."

This morning Representative Jan Schakowsky responded to Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's statement that Social Security and Medicare "cannot exist if we want America to be what we want America to be." Schakowsky said,
"There are two stark visions of our country: One is Republican Leader Eric Cantor's, in which millionaires and billionaires get massive tax breaks paid for by cutting Social Security and health care for seniors. Cantor's vision is one in which those who have worked all their lives – who have paid into Social Security and Medicare in order to retire in dignity – would be forced to bear the burden of deficit reduction. … The choices are clear and I believe that the American public – like the Democrats in Congress – will fight as hard as possible to protect the American values represented in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid."
On a press call this morning, Schakowsky was joined by Edward Coyle, Executive Director of the Alliance for Retired Americans, Eric Kingson, Co-chair, Strengthen Social Security Campaign and Tom McMahon, executive director, Americans United for Change. Coyle said,
"Eric Cantor and others are saying that Social Security is to blame for our budget deficit. That's pure fiction, and a sleight of hand that makes no mention of tax cuts for the wealthy or big corporations like GE that pay no taxes. It's time to stop the lies."
Kingson added,
"Social Security belongs to the American people — not to politicians in Washington like Majority Leader Cantor. It belongs to the people who have worked hard all their lives and contributed to the program. It should not be used as a piggy bank to provide tax cuts to the rich or bailouts to Wall Street. That may be who Majority Leader Cantor represents but it's not the vast majority of the American people who depend on Social Security."
"This was no slip of the tongue. We've long since suspected Eric Cantor's true intentions of going down a path towards abolishing Social Security and Medicare as we know them — intentions that he may now regret saying out loud in public. … These privatization schemes embraced by Cantor and Ryan are designed to benefit Wall Street bankers at the same time slash guaranteed Social Security benefits and leave seniors on Medicare at the mercy of the private insurance industry."

Oh for those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer
This was first posted on the Media Standards Trust website on Friday 21st January 2011
News International must be hankering after the balmy days of summer 2010.
Back last June they appeared to have successfully weathered the phone hacking story, despite the valiant efforts of The Guardian's to keep the story alive in 2009.
The Conservatives, strongly supported by News International titles – particularly The Sun – in the lead up to the election were installed in Number 10. Not as a majority government, but with majority control.
Coulson, one of the key figures at News International and close friends with the recently installed Chief Executive of News International, Rebekah Brooks, had been appointed Director of Communications at No.10.
Rupert Murdoch may have been quietly confident that News Corporation's bid to take over the remaining 60.9% of BSkyB would be waved through.
Enter the New York Times
Then, in September 2010, the New York Times investigation was published. 'Tabloid Hack Attack on Royals, and Beyond' was the result of three months investigation by three experienced Times journalists, Don Van Natta Jr, Jo Becker and Graham Bowley.
Publication by the New York Times changed the whole tenor of the story. Phone hacking was no longer a UK media story, it was a political story with international implications (due to Murdoch's ownership of the Wall Street Journal). The NY Times investigation meant the BBC and, to its credit, Sky News could start covering the story without being accused of following The Guardian's agenda. Labour politicians, now out of office and free to criticise the media, could start to attack Andy Coulson.
Even still, the story ebbed as most other UK papers refused to take it on. Only the Financial Times and The Independent started to report new evidence regularly and prominently.
Nor did the police show any great interest in turning over a story they had rather hoped would go away (given their close relationship with News International and failure both to interview many of those implicated in phone hacking or warn those whose phones had been hacked).
Yet the story refused to die. Thanks to continued digging by The Guardian – especially Nick Davies – and to legal cases taken against the News of the World by individuals who believed their phones had been hacked, news kept seeping out.
Coulson's mistake
Coulson's unambiguous evidence to the Commons Select Committee in 2010 certainly helped keep it alive. Asked by the Committee if phone hacking went any further than Clive Goodman (the royal correspondent who was jailed for phone hacking) Coulson said that he was "absolutely sure that Goodman's was a very unfortunate rogue case". Asked if he knew anything about phone hacking while he was editor of the paper he said he had no knowledge of what was going on.
Had Coulson taken a different approach he may have avoided resignation. He could, for example, have taken the 'confess and seek mercy' approach. He could have said that yes, he did know about the hacking and he dreadfully regretted that he was involved. But, given it was rife in the industry he had not fully realised its seriousness. Moreover, when he did realise, he resigned.
This approach would not have burnished his political reputation, might have cut his political career short, and would have led people to question Cameron's judgment, but it is a position he could have maintained.
Instead, he took the Manuel from Fawlty Towers approach – 'I know nothing'. This became increasingly untenable as evidence emerged that more and more people under his command were involved.
Then the News of the World suspended Ian Edmondson. Edmondson was assistant editor of news at News of the World. He worked closely with Coulson and then subsequently with the new editor Colin Myler. He was suspended when a series of court documents about the hacking of Sienna Miller's phone became public that had the name 'Ian' written in the top left hand corner.
This was too close. If Edmondson knew about phone hacking then maintaining the line that Coulson was in the dark became much more difficult.
Sure enough, on Friday 21st January, a day after Alan Johnson's resignation as opposition Chancellor and with Blair being quizzed by the Chilcot Inquiry, Coulson announced his resignation.
Does it end here?
News International are no doubt hoping that their annus horribilis stops here. Now Coulson is on his way out of No. 10 they must hope that the story will lose its political piquancy and slowly dwindle.
Of course the opposite could happen. Coulson's departure could confirm the belief of those who have been unravelling this story that it goes deep within the political and media classes, and on to the Metropolitan police and the phone companies.
His exit is also unlikely to quell the energy of those fighting court cases to discover if their phones were hacked. These will trundle on, and with them further evidence of how many people at the News of the World were involved.
Then there is the press itself. Though the story has focused on the News of the World we know (from Operation Motorman) that 'the illegal trade in confidential personal information' went much further. The Media Standards Trust has previously supported calls for a proper independent inquiry into the whole problem. Now Coulson is gone there may well be more chance of this happening.
For News International, the story is far from over. What it woudn't give to bring back those lazy hazy crazy days of summer 2010.
A defence of phone hacking, from ex-NotW journalist
Paul McMullan is probably not the best defender of press freedom. His arguments are muddled and contradictory. He puts forward moral arguments for privacy intrusion, but then confesses to having no moral sense. Yet he is worth listening to, partly because his arguments clearly reflect the views of others working in newspapers, and partly because – as Nick Davies said at the City University debate on phone hacking last night – he is the one of the only ones "who had the bollocks to speak on the record" about phone hacking and other 'dark arts' practiced at the News of the World.
McMullan was a features executive and member of the News of the World's investigations team. He now runs a pub in Dover. He told Nick Davies at the Guardian that "Getting information from confidential records, we did that regularly, time and time again. I always hid behind the journalist's fundamental get-out clause that, if it's in the public interest, you can do what you like. Some of what Steve [Whittamore] did was legal, like using the electoral register, but if he went a step further, I would not have given a second thought to whether that was illegal, because that's part of your job."
McMullan was one of six panellists debating how far a journalist should go, to a packed auditorium of 400+ students and journalists at City. Also on the panel were Guardian journalist Nick Davies, solicitor Mark Lewis, Professor Roy Greenslade, Max Mosley and Lord (Ken) MacDonald (former DPP), chaired by Andrew Caldecott QC.
For McMullan journalism pursues noble ends by ignoble means. It exposes corruption, hypocrisy, misbehaviour and moral transgressions. This is his justification not just for phone hacking but for delving deep into the private lives of public figures. If they hold themselves up as figures of public virtue, he argued, then the press should be able to show people when that is not true. We have a right to expose "dirty little sinners… breaking their marriage vows", McMullan said.
Nor is it just public figures, but anyone who might have done something wrong. McMullan was particularly proud of a News of the World splash he worked on that 'named and shamed' 50 peadophiles in the UK, publishing their names, photographs and addresses in the paper. Unfortunately, as Roy Greenslade pointed out, not all of those named were paedophiles and a number later successfully sued the paper for defamation.
Privacy, for McMullan, is just another word for secrecy, and secrecy should be exposed. "Privacy is the place where we do bad things" McMullan said. "In order to have a free and open society, you must treat privacy as the demon". Though the former NotW journalist may have been exaggerating for the sake of effect, the idea that journalists should have a right to invade people's privacy for the greater benefit of society is shared by others. Paul Dacre, the editor-in-chief of Mail Group Newspapers, made a similar argument in one of his rare public outings in November 2008:
"if mass-circulation newspapers, which also devote considerable space to reporting and analysis of public affairs, don't have the freedom to write about scandal, I doubt whether they will retain their mass circulations with the obvious worrying implications for the democratic process" (Paul Dacre, Society of Editors, 9 November 2008).
Yet there are many contradictions inherent in McMullan's argument. He does not indicate whether there should be different rules for 'public figures' as against 'ordinary people'. Channel 4's Dispatches programme on Monday night, 'Tabloids, Tories and Telephone Hacking', interviewed a woman who had been the victim of a sexual assault by a celebrity. She was not herself a celebrity. She had not chosen to be assaulted. She had asked for, and been granted, legal anonymity by the court. Yet she was traced, pursued and harassed by journalists and photographers because – it would appear – her personal details were hacked.
Nor is it clear what constitutes 'a public figure' and whether public figures deserve some privacy protection as well. Politicians are public figures but are those that head the Federation International de l'Automobile (as Mosley did)? Mr Dacre is a public figure, yet he is highly protective of his own privacy, as are other newspaper editors, owners and executives like Richard Desmond and Rebekah Brooks (of News International). And we read very little about Dacre, Desmond or Brooks in the press. Only The Independent, for example, published the news that Richard Desmond's divorce went through this week.
Celebrities are clearly public figures, but less clear is whether exposing their private lives is in the public interest. But, the argument goes, they are role models, and often deliberately expose their private lives for their own benefit; therefore the press are justified in publishing stories that appear to contradict a celebrity's public persona. Yet, as Max Mosley pointed out, people do not go to watch John Terry because he is a good family man, they go to see him play football. On top of which, there is something sinister about the fact that the News of the World, we learn, keeps 'dossiers' on public figures and celebrities.
Eventually McMullan's defence defaulted to the public. "The bigger jury is the readership" he said. If people do not approve of the stories than they will stop buying the paper, and then the paper will have to publish less intrusive stories.
This argument falls down on many fronts. People used to flock to public executions, but that was not used as a justification to maintain the death penalty. In addition to which, people did not know how the News of the World, and other newspapers, were finding their stories until the Guardian and the New York Times started investigating it.
Which brings us to the final irony in McMullan's argument. If transparency is such a public good, why has News International reportedly paid out almost £2 million already to prevent files held by the police coming into the public domain? Wouldn't it be to the benefit of everyone if these files – which purportedly have details of thousands of examples of privacy intrusion by the press – were opened up so we could judge for ourselves whether they were done in the public interest?

Why we need a judicial inquiry into the phone hacking saga
Last Friday the Media Standards Trust backed calls for a judicial inquiry into the phone hacking allegations at the News of the World. We did this for three – all rather practical – reasons:
1. Only a judicial inquiry, which would have the power to subpoena witnesses and order the release of police files, is likely to expose the truth about the allegations
The PCC has already conducted two 'investigations' into phone hacking allegations – one in 2007 and another in 2009. These essentially amounted to a polite exchange of letters with a small number of interested parties (not including Andy Coulson). Neither turned up anything new. Indeed, in its conclusions, rather than criticise the News of the World, the PCC went so far as to remind the Guardian of its obligations not to 'to publish distorted or misleading information' and claimed that 'the Guardian's stories did not quite live up to the dramatic billing they were initially given'.
Throughout 2009, the CMS Select Committee conducted a lengthy and detailed inquiry into 'Press Standards, privacy and libel', and from July focused considerable attention on the Guardian's allegations. Yet they were frustrated by the 'collective amnesia' of News International and obfuscation from the Metropolitan Police. The Committee, despite its valiant efforts, did not have the resources, the remit or the powers (e.g. of subpoena) to uncover what really happened at the News of the World.
Last summer the Media Standards Trust called for the press to set up its own independent inquiry, after the Guardian published new evidence about phone hacking (see 'This calls for an inquiry – but not by the PCC', Media Guardian, July 13, 2009). We proposed newspapers should 'appoint a genuinely independent figure with wide-ranging powers to conduct a lengthy and detailed investigation'. This could not only have boosted public confidence in the responsibility of the press, but also prevented a more official investigation that could potentially threaten press freedom. Our call was not taken up.
2. Without a judicial inquiry there is no guarantee the files will be opened
The police have files detailing thousands of examples of phone hacking and other invasions of privacy. We now understand this includes evidence that the then Minister for Culture, Media and Sport, Tessa Jowell, had her phone hacked at least 28 times. Other ex-Ministers have reason to believe their phones were also hacked.
News International has, according to the Guardian and The New York Times, already paid a substantial amount of money to prevent these files being released (a reported £700,000 to Gordon Taylor, and £1m to Max Clifford). It is also said to have paid Mulcaire and Goodman to keep quiet. Why would any company pay so much money to keep files hidden unless they revealed something they thought might be highly damaging?
Others are now stepping forward to make legal challenges and try to force disclosure of the files.
If there was a judicial inquiry that released the files then we could all judge the veracity of the claims against the News of the World for ourselves, and see how pervasive the phone hacking culture was across the news industry.
3. A judicial inquiry could prevent this being driven into a political cul-de-sac
Allegations of phone hacking on an industrial scale have made a lot of politicians understandably outraged. Unfortunately this is almost entirely on one side of the House. Even more unfortunately much of the attention has become focused on a single figure – No. 10's Head of Communications, Andy Coulson.
Though this is entirely understandable, given Coulson was editor of News of the World during some of the period of alleged hacking, and given he has stated categorically that he had no knowledge of any hacking while he was in charge, it risks diverting the story into a political cul-de-sac. Were Coulson to resign some might see that as the end of the matter (see also Kevin Marsh's piece 'News of the World and the scalp hunt').
Yet the real story is about whether there was (is?) an ingrained culture of phone hacking and illegal intrusion at one of Britain's most powerful media organisations. An organisation that could soon become even more powerful if News Corp is allowed to fully acquire Sky.
A judicial inquiry could renew the focus on the allegations, and stop the story being hijacked by high politics.
This story has now been stuttering along for over three years. As long as information seeps out it will continue to trundle along, with continued allegations and counter allegations, and a lingering sense of corruption.
Start an inquiry, expose the files, and shine some sunlight on News of the World and the Metropolitan police, and we can begin to draw a line under this whole affair.
PCC report shows limits of organisation's remit
When the Guardian's story about phone hacking at the News of the World broke in July, the Media Standards Trust called on the press to set up its own independent investigation. Only by doing this, we argued, could the press allay people's fears that such practices were not widespread at the News of the World, or elsewhere in the industry, and sustain people's faith in self-regulation.
The problem is, as we said at the time, the way the existing system of self-regulation is currently set up does not allow for such an investigation. The current system – as headed by the Press Complaints Commission – has not the resources, the time, or the remit to conduct the type of inquiry needed.
The PCC cannot call people for evidence, it cannot devote significant amounts of time to in-depth interviews or analysis, and it cannot search through internal emails and correspondence. It has to conduct its inquiries in and around the many other responsibilities it has. It is therefore not a surprise that the report the PCC then produces does not uncover any further evidence of wrongdoing.
This is not a criticism of the day-to-day job the PCC does. Quite the contrary. The PCC does a valuable job dealing with complaints from members of the public about misrepresentation, inaccuracy, harassment and privacy intrusion. Rather, it is a criticism of what the PCC does not do – and cannot do as it is currently structured.
Criticising the PCC in an editorial The Guardian writes that:
'In reaching its conclusions, it appears the PCC did not interview a single witness or inspect a single document beyond those uncovered by police, the information commissioner or MPs. It did not question Andy Coulson, editor at the time (just as it failed to contact him at the time of Goodman). It did not make inquiries of five other NoW journalists or contractees who had direct knowledge of events – Thurlbeck, Greg Miskiw (who signed the contract), the junior reporter, Goodman or Mulcaire – or, indeed, any other NoW journalist employed at the time. It did not interrogate the bonus contract (News Group said it was confidential). It did not interview – though it said it tried – the detective sergeant or reconcile his remark with other police evidence. Indeed, the solitary successful serious inquiry the PCC itself appears to have made was an exchange of letters with the current NoW editor, Colin Myler, who was not at the paper at the time.'
These are not insubstantial criticisms. They point to an investigation that was limited to letter writing and secondary research (although from the report we do not know the full range of the PCC's inquiries). An investigation that was, in many ways, similar to the 2007 inquiry following Clive Goodman's conviction. An inquiry that was itself criticized for not pursuing any of the leads uncovered by the Information Commissioner as a result of Operation Motorman, or for questioning many of the key figures at the News of the World and elsewhere at the time.
The editor of the News of the World, Colin Myler, told the PCC that News International had hired a firm of solicitors, Burton Copeland, to investigate the extent of phone tapping at the News of the World. The newspaper said the firm was given 'every financial document which could possibly be relevant' to the paper's dealings with Mulcaire, and they confirmed that 'they could find no evidence from these documents or their other enquiries which suggested complicity by the News of the World or other members of its staff beyond Clive Goodman in criminal activities'. Yet one has to ask whether the public are best served by Burton Copeland conducting a private inquiry on behalf of News International, rather than the PCC (or an independent investigator) on behalf of the public.
Press self-regulation, as currently constituted, simply does not allow for the types of investigation necessary to reveal the sorts of privacy intrusion the Guardian alleged, or for giving the public renewed trust in the press.
Self-regulation can work more effectively, and needs to for the sake of the press and the public. The PCC has just started a review of its governance which will, we hope, recommend major reforms to the current system. The Media Standards Trust will be making a submission to this review in which it will set out how we think self-regulation can be made more effective. We would encourage all others who want to see self-regulation work – the Guardian included – to do the same.

this starts at the begining of New Moon After Bellas birthday party accident Edward leaves...but Bella is pregnant...what will Edward do now and will he come back!!
1. Before the storm!
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 410 Review this Chapter
I woke that morning..., my 18th birthday! I should have been happy most people are...but then again how many 'most people' have a vampire as a boyfriend...my point exactly!
I crawled out of bed dreading the day ahead and the attention it would bring. Never good for a klutz like me.I started to get dressed when I doubled over in pain as I felt sickness rising in my stomach. I rushed to the bathroom and collapsed on the floor before emptying myself of last night's food.
I felt awful but I knew I had to get up and get to school or else Edward would be worried. even thinking his name sent ripples of excitement through my body!
When I reached the school I decided not to tell Edward about that morning, it would only worry him more and lord knows I didn't need him to do that he'd probably drag me to the hospital to make sure I was ok...but I was sure the hospital had seen enough of me for one month!
After the party! Edward has left and Bella is distraught!
I lay on my bed and stared up at my ceiling. Silent tears rolled down my face and the gaping hole in my chest got bigger and bigger until it finally took over me ands I broke down again.
I could hear Charlie downstairs talking to people as he thanked them for helping in my search but I couldn't go down and help him. I couldn't even move it all hurt too much.His name drifted past my eyes and I silently prayed that all this hurt would stop.
But I knew it wouldn't not until he came back, he never would though. He didn't love me .he had told me so and I felt it. How could he love someone as plain and simple as me?
I had always known it I just never wanted to admit it. But now the time had finally come and I was breaking down inside and I couldn't go on. I just couldn't.
I awoke the next morning with the feeling of sickness yet again and I rushed to the bathroom. As I lay on the cold floor a thought hit me....could it be. Could it really be???
I knew not to get my hopes up because I could feel the hole in my chest increasing in size threatening to engulf me yet again.
I returned to my bed and sunk into another silent state of sorrow.

LOS ANGELES — An attorney representing the estranged wife of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling says she will fight to retain her 50 percent ownership stake in the team.
Attorney Pierce O'Donnell also told The Associated Press that Mrs. Sterling has been separated from her husband for the last year and is considering divorce.
Last week, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Donald Sterling from the NBA for life and urged league owners to force him to sell the team. The move came after a recording surfaced in which Sterling made racist comments.
O'Donnell said Mrs. Sterling "abhors" the comments. He said he spoke with NBA officials Thursday morning but declined to elaborate.
O'Donnell said Mrs. Sterling is an ardent Clippers fan and plans to attend Friday's playoff game against Oklahoma City.
