In June 2013 (see McDermott OTS here), we provided an update on proposals by the UK Government to establish a more rigorous transparent disclosure regime relating to ownership of UK incorporated companies, including their beneficial ownership. While the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills does not intend to issue a formal response to its 2013 discussion paper (Transparency & Trust) until later in 2014, it has confirmed its intention to create a publicly accessible central registry of company beneficial ownership information.
To Whom And in What Circumstances Would The Proposals Apply?
The proposed registry will contain information on individuals with an interest in more than 25 per cent of a company's shares or voting rights, or otherwise control the way the company is run. This applies the same definition of beneficial ownership as the UK's Money Laundering Regulations 2007.
For the purposes of the disclosure requirement, the 25 per cent threshold test would apply to aggregate holdings of persons acting in concert, or split shareholdings exercising collective control. For example, if a group of investors with dispersed shareholdings held an aggregate of 30 per cent of a company's shares, and they had agreed between themselves to vote in the same way, they would be deemed to hold a disclosable beneficial interest.
The UK Government has not yet confirmed whether or not the new disclosure rules on beneficial ownership would apply only to private companies. They are considering extending the regime to limited liability partnerships, but it is likely that public companies listed on a regulated market will be exempted, owing to the existing disclosure regimes that apply to such companies. The implications for other entities, such as investment trust companies and trusts, are still unclear.
While the proposals are unlikely to extend directly to trusts, the policy paper does note that some company structures have trust shareholders. The current proposal would require any express trust that has an interest of more than 25 per cent of the shares or voting rights in a UK company to disclose the identity of the trustees as being beneficial owners. It is less clear whether or not the identity of the beneficiaries of a trust would also need to be disclosed in these circumstances.
BIS has made it clear that there ought to be an exemptions regime. The proposals so far, however, have only identified vulnerable individuals as a potential group for exemption.
The UK Government believes the new central registry of company beneficial ownership should be publicly available.
The model for beneficial ownership information will most likely follow the existing one for company shareholders i.e., the registry will hold details of the name and addresses of beneficial owners. The proposals reject more limited concepts of disclosure, such as only requiring companies to submit the information to the registrar and/or only allowing tax and other law enforcement authorities the right to access this information. The UK Government believes this is consistent with its policy to make "Britain a better place to invest and do business".
Burden of Disclosure
Although the proposals intend to impose a requirement on companies to actively identify any beneficial owner or persons acting together who hold over 25 per cent of the company's shares or voting rights, the final rules may go further by imposing a positive obligation on shareholders to notify a company if they are (or become) a beneficial owner. The current regime for listed companies is cited as a possible model.
This may prove to be an unpopular move. The consequences for shareholders who fail to disclose company ownership in listed companies, which are covered by the Disclosure and Transparency Rules (DTR Rules), include public censure and/or financial penalties that are imposed at the discretion of the Financial Conduct Authority.
It is unclear at this stage whether or not the tight timeframes to disclose ownership under the DTR Rules would also apply under the proposed new regime.
The UK Government believes greater transparency on issues such as actual beneficial ownership of companies is essential to creating a "stronger economy" that the public is confident to invest in. This should perhaps be balanced against creating a disclosure regime that imposes burdensome disclosure rules that dissuade use of UK corporate vehicles for doing business.
If the new proposals become law, private companies will need to engage actively with their shareholders to obtain and maintain necessary beneficial ownership information. Companies will face increased obligations for reporting and making information publicly available. Concerned investors may seek to avoid the consequences of this new regime by winding up existing UK companies and/or establishing corporate vehicles/structures outside the United Kingdom. This may affect the structure of both existing and future acquisition and investment structures.
It is likely that, by mid-2014, there will be greater certainty on the nature and extent of these new proposals. We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Whos your real Daddy? is a question that remarkably continues to dog Barack Obama, even as he proceeds into his fourth year as president.
With the release this July of Joel Gilberts full-length documentary, Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception, the mystery deepens regarding who Obama really is.
The film provides the first cohesive understanding of Obamas deep-rooted life journey in socialism, from his childhood to his presidency, Gilbert told WND.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Barry is a totally manufactured product of an internationalist world communism/facism/socialism.
Nothing is real.
NOTHING is at face value.
EVERYTHING you 'know' about 'him' is made up.
And everyone is COVERING UP.
For just one example—EVERYBODY in DC down to the lowliest page and shoeshine boy KNOWS he's not elegible for POTUS.
Senate, House, Suprimes—EVERY(BLEEPING)BODY!
"Gilberts research turned shocking when he obtained seven indecent photos of Ann Dunham, Obamas mother"
This will be used by the liberal to discredit the entire production.
The reality is, those photos have floated around the internet for years. Yes, the face of the woman does look a lot like his mother. But put a fifties hairdo on a woman and pose her in a fifties house, and there are probably a lot of women that would look reasonably the same. Unless Mr. Cashill has found some smoking gun that "proves" it is her, he would probably have been just as well to leave them out.
Sounds like a "man bites dog" story.
Then again, anything involving Barack Obama is a "man bites dog" story.
Yeah!!! Maybe it's her evil twin sister.
Who's your daddy?
You can argue that two women might look alike, but it is a far stretch for probability that they would both have a crooked tooth in exactly the same spot.
precisely! Those in power know he might actually be Natural Born, but covering up all the other lies....
True, but there is something in Law about a presumptive legal father. Obama was acknowledged as his father in the divorce, which makes it a fact of law. facts of law can't be overturned by a 'scenario'.
Unless they want to dig up a corpse, Obama remains his father in fact.
I have my suspicion this is more to further muddy the water of the Constitutional status of the pResident than it is for anything else.
If Frank Marshall Davis had a son, he'd look like Barack....
A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.
Currently, at least 40 % of polled American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his dictatorship.
About 47 % of American workers pay NO Personal Federal Income tax. These voters are the fair share voter base for Dictator Obama. We, in the 53 %, then are paying this 47 % to vote for Obama by virtue of us paying taxes for ourselves AND them.
In this manner we are supporting the voters who vote for Obama, and will vote to do so again in November.
Dictator Obama has designed Obamacare to become active only AFTER he is to be re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).
The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he has already achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.
Obamas obvious deep hatred of America could have only come from his childhood.
Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obamas past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.
The lack of credible evidence that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.
Who the key members of Obamas probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the CIA and the FBI.
Will Citizen Journalists such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy these two tax-funded spy entities?
BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.
BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculation: what does your gut tell you?
The questions we ask
Are simple to say,
One wonders why they
Werent asked
Back in the Day?
read the WND article, it didn't mention that the Dunham's knew FMD in Kansas
and that FMD went to Friends College ( University?) and that BO's kids go to a Quaker school, too. Just find that an interesting similarity.
Actually, that is a pretty common teeth alignment situation. What I find most convincing is the very long chin. But again, unless there is DEFINITIVE proof, the liberal press will just use it as another example of zero being "persecuted." And it will result in many of the sheeple feeling sorry for him.
If the average American only knew.
The best Obama exposure site on the net:
The Obama File
The United States Library of Congress has selected
TheObamaFile.com for inclusion in its historic collection
of Internet materials
Made him a NBC. A status no longer belonging to Barry Sotero because he was expatriated and became a citizen of Indonesia under his adopting father Lolo Sotero.
Looking at Obama's life story, and that of his mother and her parents, there is a long and close association with Communists and fellow travelers, whose children led the New Left in the 1960s and became the dominant force in the media, academia, and the Democrat Party. At some point, powerful leftists saw the potential in Barack Obama, and doors opened in the Ivy League and Chicago politics to grease his rise to power.
She was a weird looking woman IMO.
No way can there be two that look like that.
Doesn't mean your points are not well-taken,especially with a media owned and operated by the DNC.
Just LOOK at them ears.......heredity looks likeky.
I think so, too. I explains everything except how the American people were stupid enough to elect him.

JPMorgan, MF Global trustee reach agreement
- Article by: Associated Press
- Associated Press
- March 20, 2013 - 1:33 AM
NEW YORK - JPMorgan Chase has agreed to a deal that will return $546 million to former customers of trading firm MF Global Holdings Ltd., which collapsed in 2011 with $1.6 billion missing from its accounts.
MF Global failed in October after a calamitous bet on European debt spooked its investors, partners and clients. The bankruptcy was the eighth-largest in the U.S. and the largest on Wall Street since the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. Much of the missing money belonged to farmers, ranchers and other business owners who used MF Global to reduce their risks from fluctuating prices of commodities such as corn and wheat. A House panel has said credit rating agencies and federal regulators contributed to MF Global's collapse. But it pinned most of the blame on risky strategies by ex-CEO Jon Corzine, the former New Jersey governor.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. held MF Global funds in several accounts and also processed the firm's securities trades. The trustee tasked with getting customers' money back, James W. Giddens, threatened to sue the New York bank if it didn't return money that was transferred to the bank from MF Global. By June 2012, JPMorgan had returned $608 million to the firm.
Under a settlement agreement filed Tuesday in Manhattan bankruptcy court, JPMorgan Chase has agreed to pay $100 million to reimburse customers and will relinquish claims on $417 million that it previously returned. JPMorgan also will return over $29 million that it is holding as security on an MF Global credit line. The recovered money will eventually be passed along to customers.
The deal must be approved by Bankruptcy Court Judge Martin Glenn and District Court Judge Victor Marrero.

Prepared Remarks of Thomas O. Barnett, Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust, at the Bundeskartellamt Ceremony Celebrating Fifty Years of the German Competition Act
Jan 15, 2008, 00:00 ET from U.S. Department of Justice
BONN, Germany, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the entry into force of Germany's Act Against Restraints of Competition (ARC). I am greatly honored that Dr. Heitzer and the Bundeskartellamt (BKA) invited me to Bonn to join your celebration. In my time today, I want to look first to the past by providing an American perspective on the significance of the BKA's contribution to global competition policy during the half-century of its work. Then I will turn toward some of the future challenges we will face together, in particular one of the most difficult and contentious areas of modern antitrust -- the rules governing single-firm conduct by firms that are 'dominant' or possess what we would call 'monopoly power.' In this area I will offer some thoughts on how safe harbors can help business to conform to and understand the rules, provide guidance to enforcement authorities, and minimize the risk of costly errors that may chill the vigorous competition and the spirited innovation that are of most long-term benefit to consumers. Most of you are well aware that Germany's robust tradition of antitrust enforcement began much earlier than 50 years ago. The Weimar Republic's Regulation Against Abuse of Economic Power Positions in 1923 was 'the first general legislation in Europe aimed specifically at protecting the competitive process.' Three decades later, the German federal parliament enacted the ARC after many years of debate, building upon the de-cartelization and de-concentration laws introduced in Germany by the U.S. authorities in 1947. The year 1958 is a major milestone in the history of antitrust, with the adoption of the ARC in Germany and the signing of the Treaty of Rome establishing the European Community, with its famous articles 85 and 86 (since renumbered as 81 and 82). Both legal regimes became effective on January 1, 1958. Dr. Franz Bohm, a prominent German thinker and champion of the ARC, once observed that 'a free market economy resembles a monarchy in that the consumer is the king.' In substance, this sentiment closely mirrors the U.S. commitment to consumer welfare as the foundation of a free market. With the adoption of the ARC, the newly-established BKA instantly became the preeminent model of an independent, court-like expert administrative body. The BKA's first President, Dr. Eberhard Gunther, held his post for eighteen years -- an extraordinarily long tenure -- and set the BKA on a firm foundation. One of the great strengths of the German antitrust regime has been that the BKA is insulated from political considerations. Any ministerial overruling of its decisions on non-competition grounds is open and transparent, clearly exposing the trade-off between competition and other policies for healthy debate. This has surely been an important confidence-building measure for German consumers and businesses alike. From an early date, the German authorities have been reliable partners in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Justice, to our mutual benefit. Our first bilateral antitrust agreement dedicated to enforcement cooperation was signed with Germany, in 1976. Especially in the field of anti-cartel enforcement, we have had a long and productive relationship involving legal assistance, extending well over a decade. After years of negotiation, a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) with Germany has now been signed; when ratified by our respective federal legislatures, it will be the first of the United States' 50-plus MLATs to apply to administrative cartel investigations, giving the BKA reciprocity in seeking U.S. Government assistance in cartel cases. Germany has also played a leading role in the development of European Community competition law as a source of highly-qualified enforcement officials, having provided the first Commissioner responsible for competition policy (Dr. Hans von der Groeben) and a stellar series of Directors-General for Competition (including Drs. Manfred Caspari, Claus Ehlermann, and Alexander Schaub). And last, but not least, while we in the U.S. often think that we invented premerger notification, in fact the German merger notification regime was established in 1973, three years before our Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and 16 years before the EC's Merger Control Regulation. In addition, the BKA has consistently been a leader in the international antitrust community. For many years it has hosted the prestigious biennial Cartel Conference -- one of the highlights of the international antitrust calendar -- first in Berlin, then in Bonn, and most recently in Munich. A senior BKA official chaired the OECD's Competition Law and Policy Committee from 1987 to 1994, and BKA presidents have always been members of the Committee's guiding Bureau. The BKA was a founding member of the International Competition Network (ICN) in 2001, and former BKA President Dr. Ulf Boge was an outstanding ICN Steering Group Chair until his retirement last year. Today, the BKA serves as co-chair, with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, of the ICN's Unilateral Conduct Working Group (UCWG). Co-chairing the UCWG is not an easy task, as the rules governing unilateral conduct are perhaps the most difficult area of antitrust law and policy. This brings me to my second topic: the application of competition law to unilateral conduct. Let me start with our Supreme Court's most frequently cited recitation of the elements of a monopolization claim under our Sherman Act: '(1) the possession of monopoly power in the relevant market and (2) the willful acquisition or maintenance of that power as distinguished from growth or development as a consequence of a superior product, business acumen, or historic accident.' Translating this general principle into operational rules and guidance for the business community has been difficult, both for U.S. courts and the U.S. antitrust agencies. In this regard I offer five broad principles to inform our enforcement policy and to guide our discussions. -- Individual firms with monopoly power can act anticompetitively and harm consumer welfare, and we should seek to identify and challenge such conduct. -- Mere size does not demonstrate harm to competition or a violation of the antitrust laws. The proper focus of antitrust law is on anticompetitive conduct and effect, not just firm size or market share. -- Mere injury to a particular firm does not itself show that competition has suffered. Indeed, a firm's inability to garner sales may indicate no more than the superiority of its competitors' products. A successful firm should not be penalized for creating a product that is preferred by consumers. Further, the loss of sales can be an important incentive to other firms to improve their efforts to offer new and better products at the lowest possible price. -- Consumers, the business community, and antitrust enforcers benefit from clear, administrable and objective rules that allow businesses to assess the legality of a practice before acting and enable enforcers and courts to judge challenged conduct predictably and correctly. This is particularly true in the context of unilateral conduct. Every time a firm is kept from engaging in aggressive conduct because it fears an unnecessarily expansive interpretation of the antitrust laws, competition is harmed. -- A remedy that harms competition is worse than no remedy at all. A remedy needs to be effective and administrable by courts and agencies without restricting competition. In this brief summary of our overall approach to the appropriate role for antitrust in relation to single-firm conduct, I emphasize the importance of clear, administrable, and objective rules. I would like now to focus on one example of such rules: safe harbors. Antitrust enforcement agencies should consider employing safe harbors that identify conduct that will never be the target of antitrust enforcement. (I note that, if an absolute safe harbor is not feasible, it can still be valuable to identify harbors that are unlikely to lead to enforcement actions except under 'extraordinary circumstances.') In the words of the intellectual property guidelines issued by the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission in 1995, safe harbors provide a 'degree of certainty and thus ... encourage' innovation and competition. The conduct covered by the safe harbor may be entirely pro-competitive, or may be overwhelmingly so, such that 'anticompetitive effects are so unlikely that the arrangements may be presumed not to be anticompetitive without an inquiry into particular industry circumstances.' The rationale for most safe harbors is not that the conduct within the safe harbor never can harm competition, but rather that the conduct poses an insufficient risk of harm to warrant further consideration in view of the administrative costs of proceeding, the potential harm from erroneous condemnation of the conduct, and the chilling effect of business uncertainty on legitimate conduct. An antitrust regime could, for example, establish a market share below which a competitor is conclusively presumed not to possess market power (nor to be dominant), and thus may compete for business secure from any concern about an antitrust challenge to its unilateral conduct. But such a safe harbor significantly enhances legal certainty only if the market-share threshold adopted is high enough that it affords safety to competitors that had perceived a non-trivial risk of being found to possess monopoly power. Indeed, adopting a safe-harbor market share that is very low actually could increase business uncertainty by suggesting -- unintentionally -- an increased likelihood that competitors just outside the safe harbor will often be found to possess monopoly power. In the United States, the vast majority of competitors in the vast majority of markets do not possess monopoly power. Courts in the United States have consistently held that a market share below 50% does not support the inference of monopoly power, effectively establishing a safe harbor for firms with less than a 50% market share, and the leading treatise suggests that a share of at least 70 -- 75% for five years is required to infer monopoly power. Modern case law also holds that 'market share is only a starting point for determining whether monopoly power exists, and the inference of monopoly power does not automatically follow from the possession of a commanding market share.' Courts in the United States require proof that entry or expansion would not effectively discipline a competitor alleged to possess monopoly power, and firms with market shares well in excess of 50% have been found not to possess monopoly power because their power over price was insufficiently durable. Agencies and courts can also articulate safe harbors for particular categories of conduct. They could, for example, establish that a competitor, even a monopolist, engages in lawful competition on the merits (i) when it prices aggressively but does not price below some measure of cost, (ii) when it makes investments that reduce its own costs, (iii) when it introduces a new product, or (iv) when it does nothing more than exercise unilaterally and unconditionally its right to refuse to license an intellectual property right. A good example of a safe harbor for specific conduct is the one created 15 years ago by our Supreme Court that distinguishes unlawful predatory pricing from aggressive price-cutting. In Brooke Group v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., the Court held that a successful antitrust challenge to price-cutting requires proof 'that the prices complained of are below an appropriate measure of the rival's costs' and that the alleged predator had 'a dangerous probability ... of recouping its investment in below cost prices.' The Court expressly recognized that its standard might permit some price-cutting that theoretically could harm consumers. Specifically, the Court observed that above-cost pricing could sometimes be used to 'induce or reestablish supracompetitive pricing,' and implicitly acknowledged that, even absent recoupment, below-cost pricing could allow a predator to establish short-term market power by injuring and driving out its rivals (until new competitors enter the market and drive the market price back down). Notwithstanding those possibilities, the Court concluded that those categories of anticompetitive price-cutting were 'beyond the practical ability of a judicial tribunal to control without courting intolerable risks of chilling legitimate price cutting.' As the Court explained, a broader standard would run the risk of imposing liability in cases involving pro-competitive price-cutting, and 'the costs of [such] an erroneous finding of liability are high,' because such errors (or 'false positives') would 'chill the very conduct the antitrust laws are designed to protect.' And the risk that such 'false positives' will occur under a broader standard is substantial, the Court explained, because '[t]he mechanism by which a firm engages in predatory pricing -- lowering prices -- is the same mechanism by which a firm stimulates competition.' Whatever measure is adopted for the safe harbor, it must be an objective one. As Justice Breyer explained in an appellate decision before he joined the Supreme Court, antitrust rules 'must be clear enough for lawyers to explain them to clients' and 'must be designed with the knowledge that firms ultimately act, not in precise conformity with the literal language of complex rules, but in reaction to what they see as the likely outcome of court proceedings.' If the line between lawful aggressive pricing and unlawful predatory pricing were to turn on a subjective ex post assessment of the price (i.e., is it too low or unfairly low), large firms competing for sales would rationally err on the side of caution, pull their competitive punches, and price less aggressively. An amorphous and subjective standard would discourage the competitive enthusiasm that the antitrust laws seek to promote and chill the very conduct the antitrust laws are designed to protect. Turning back to the occasion for our celebration today, I emphasize that overall we have much in common. The BKA has long pursued anti-cartel enforcement, has become a firm proponent of serious economic analysis, and continues to expand the role and number of its economists. The U.S. and German agencies face many common antitrust challenges today, and we must continue to work closely together in the future. International cartels disrupt the efficient working of our economies, and we need to expand our cooperation even further, coordinating our leniency programs and ensuring that our criminal and administrative approaches work together to achieve maximum deterrence. The role of private antitrust enforcement seems likely to grow in Germany, and the European Union as a whole, and European courts thus will have to address some of the procedural, jurisdictional and comity issues that have already arisen in U.S. courts. Competition in newly deregulated sectors, with problematic claims for network access and misplaced demands for national champions and increased state ownership, should be addressed in ways that preserve competition, reward innovation, and promote consumer welfare. While the U.S. and German antitrust agencies have some doctrinal differences to sort out, with our 30-year history of cooperation and good will we can, and surely will, bridge those differences and continue to converge on the best policies in our bilateral relationship and in the many multilateral settings where we work together so closely. We owe nothing less to our respective consumers. In closing, consumers have every reason to look forward with confidence to another 50 years of healthy economic performance in a German economy where competitive markets are capably defended by the BKA. Thank you.

Anyone monitoring the moon? I have notice a brilliant spot on the moon I have NEVER seen before. It is at the (currently) 9 o'clock position. Half hour ago it was at the 8 o'clock position. Prior to that it was at the 8 o'clock position but further toward the center. It is obviously much brighter than any other surface reflection I have ever seen on the moon.
Looks like a normal full moon from the Central Valley of California... in Stockton, CA
Check a Moon map and tell me if the area you're noticing is Tycho.
Er, Copernicus, I mean.
Well, even though you made me go outside and gaze at the moon, and I saw nothing unusual, I don't regret it. It's beautiful anyhow. :-)
homing beacon for the Mothership?
I look at the Moon every chance I get. Noticed nothing unusual thus far tonight.
'Supermoon' Alert: Biggest Full Moon of 2012 Occurs This Week
Still awake here in Texas.
Seems to be a bright spot I never noticed before about in the 5 O'clock position. What could it be?
You might find the following of some interest...
Copernicus is further toward the center (just left of center) of the moon (at about 9 o'clock position).
What I have been observing moved from just about 10% from the outer perimeter and started at about 8 o'clock and in half hour or so moved almost due north to 9 o'clock.
Beautiful full Moon, (River City, Mississippi).
You might be burning a hole in your retina from too many collective hours of staring at the moon.
5 o'clock position seems brighter than expected.....
That's what I'm seeing here in Tx.
Spectacular in a very clear sky in Moscow, Idaho. It's been raining all day, so this is a real treat. I can read the headlines in a newspaper by it. BTT
You are supposed to look at Moonshine. Not drink it.
That would be Tycho crater and "Splat"
Clean your glasses. Looks normal to me.
Spent many nights a short walk from the drill rig in the Great Red Desert looking at the stars.
If I stepped outside tonight to gaze at the moon I would likely drown - 0.94 inches of rain and still pouring down with 20 minutes left to go for the day. (Seattle area).
I love the high deserts - luckily my work takes me out to them in Eastern Washington often!
I sit out every night (most nights anyway) and relay and watch the stars, shooting stars, satellites and the moon.
Tonight though I notice one spot which was more intense then I had seen before.
I no longer have my tracking reflective telescope but I did see something about 8 years ago that has shown up on YouTube and other sites. Same place and same pattern of travel.
It's raining.
I can only guess at what you might be seeing. The Moon is bigger than usual because it is near perigee. That would make things more interesting. It is also near full, making it brighter for two reasons, one, more of the surface is illuminated by the Sun, and two, the dust on the Moon acts like the pigment in road signs, and reflects light directly back at the source, which is the Sun, which is behind you when you look at the full Moon. Also, as you observe the Moon over the course of an evening, it will seem to rotate if you are relating it to the horizon. The Moon is otherwise a pretty static thing, no dust storms or gasses to look at.
Have fun.
Pull up your pants and stop mooning the moon.
Didn't notice anything unusual here and spent a couple hours trying different eyepieces and filters;the Full Moon is an excellent testing opportunity since it is big,bright,and easy to find in the scopes even when out of adjustment(the scope ,not the Moon)!
Regardless...... That spot is still there and it is still the brightest thing I have seen on the moon ever.
Maybe it is a crater that just catching the suns reflection a bit brighter than normal.
Whatever - It is a great night out here under clear sky's in Arizona.
Just Project Horizon. Go back to sleep. http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/luna/luna_projecthorizon01.htm
1959 - Twelve Men On The Moon
NASA moon bombing violates space law & may cause conflict with lunar ET/UFO civilizations
Thanks.....Just went out and shot a series of pics and merged in hdr software. Pretty moon but nothing out of the ordinary showed up. Maybe tomorrow night!!!!
"*pant pant*....looks full to me...*pant pant*....you hear that?...*pant pant*...I gotta go....*pant pant*"
They're saying another supermoon tomorrow night. Since it's so bright tonight, that might be worth checking out.
"Supermoon to arise over Arizona Saturday"
Also here from NASA:
Perigee "Super Moon" On May 5-6
May 2, 2012: The full Moon has a reputation for trouble. It raises high tides, it makes dogs howl, it wakes you up in the middle of the night with beams of moonlight stealing through drapes. If a moonbeam wakes you up on the night of May 5th, 2012, you might want to get out of bed and take a look. This Mays full Moon is a "super Moon, as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2012.
The scientific term for the phenomenon is "perigee moon." Full Moons vary in size because of the oval shape of the Moon's orbit. The Moon follows an elliptical path around Earth with one side ("perigee") about 50,000 km closer than the other ("apogee"). Full Moons that occur on the perigee side of the Moon's orbit seem extra big and bright.
Such is the case on May 5th at 11:34 pm Eastern Daylight Time1 when the Moon reaches perigee. Only one minute later, the Moon will line up with Earth and the sun to become brilliantly full. The timing is almost perfect.
It's raining and overcast here, so cannot observe.
Someday a meteor-asteroid will collide with the Moon when an astronomer is observing the Moon. Is there anything you are observing to indicate there might have been such a strike and the bright light represents light from the melted rock and/or hot gaseous cloud of vaporized rock?
Comet Shormaker-Levy was large enough to have vaporized a major portion of the Earth's surface, but struck Jupiter instead while under astronomical observation.
You piqued my interest! I went outside and saw that beautiful moon.
It's the 1st night this week it's been clear...and it's CLEAR!
Anyway, I can't see anything like you're seeing...sorry.
I *did*, however, see this weird looking COW ... jumping over it...
(sorry, I couldn't resist)
checked it out 10;20 Hawaii time. looks normal but it is not full. Didn't see anything different from any other night. right now it is almost straight up but a little to the south of Maui. Aloha ET haven't talked in quite awhile.
We are about to move into a perigee moon making it look bigger and brighter. May 5-6th. Maybe that is it.
It's a giant Richard Branson ice cube.
I think the "supermoon" was forecast for the last full moon...Tomorrow at 2335.
This Moon watcher is always awake.
(Happy 40th Anniversary, Apollo 16!)
Last night, I took my wife and 2 friends for a 20 mile boat ride on Lake Travis. The lake was illuminated by this almost full moon. What a ride...
You also get stronger tides during a perigee full moon.
Yes, but the magnitude of the flash of light is almost always below what is visible with the naked eye and also too brief in time, milliseconds in duration, to be visible by the eye with the aid of a telescope. The impact flashes only became visible in most cases by using video recording techniques through a telescope to greatly slowdown the impact flash long enough to be seen by the human observer in the video recording. It takes a very very large impact to create enough molten rock to remain visible for more than milliseconds to seconds without the aid of video recordings to slow down the brief flash of the impact and nearly immediate cooling of the very small amount of molten rock.
Howdy fish hawk.
I have relatives who have a place on Lake Travis.
Beautiful place.
I know what I saw.
- it was only confirmed years later by NASA and (Someone else ?) who actually filmed the exact same route and pattern of travel that I observed.
I not only believe..... I now know for sure.
after all the talk and all the hype and all the expectation .. we got clouds
It has been observed in the past and so recorded.
The only thing is that in the past recordings of such impacts, gas eruptions and such - we did not have the advantage of camera technology ——
——or should we not believe observers who did not have modern technology?

UNESCO World Day for Audiovisual Heritage
Wednesday 28 October 2009 by Jennifer Selby. 6 comments
Yesterday, 27th October was UNESCO's World Day for Audiovisual Heritage.
In 2005 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) indentified the archiving and preservation of audiovisual documents as an outstanding issue needing addressing, stating that:
Much of the world's audiovisual heritage has already been irrevocably lost through neglect, destruction, decay and the lack of resources, skills, and structures, thus impoverishing the memory of mankind. Much more will be lost if stronger and concerted international action is not taken.
The Australian War Memorial's Film and Sound section work to document and preserve audiovisual items relating to Australia's Military History, and to make these accessible to the public.
The sound collection comprises approximately 7,000 hours (over 4000 titles) of sound recordings, held mainly on disc, magnetic tape and increasingly as digital files.
90% of the collection consists of oral history interviews covering the First World War, Second World War, Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, and peacekeeping operations. The rest comprises actuality recordings – radio transmissions, operational sounds of weapons and equipment; letters/messages recorded from servicemen overseas to their families in Australia; radio variety programs and documentaries; radio broadcasts, consisting of recruiting announcements, commercials, jingles, speeches and addresses; songs and military band music including marches.
The film and video collection is currently comprised of over 7,000 titles (approx 3.25 million feet of cine film). Films in the collection includes footage of Gallipoli and the Western Front in the First World War, Official films and Newsreels sourced from the Department of Information in the Second World War and amateur footage from Korea and Vietnam. This collection also includes approximately 1000 hours of video encompassing video oral histories, as well as interviews and footage filmed in Iraq and East Timor on current operations.
Film donations are received from a range of donors from amateur film makers to documentary companies. Much material has been acquired from Department of Defence or via fee waiver agreements. Material commissioned by the Memorial has recently increased the amount of contemporary, quality material to the National Collection
Below are some examples of audiovisual collection items held by the Australian War Memorial:
Listen to an extract from an Oral History interview S00422.
S00422: Harold Arthur Freeman, as a crew member of HMAS Sydney during the First World War. Harold began his Naval Career as a 14 year old on the training ship HMAS Tingira. He then transferred to HMAS Sydney and was on board during the Sydney's battle and victory over SMS Emden in November 1914.

Editors' Note
This post has been corrected to remove phrasing that was copied from the Associated Press. While there are two bylines on this post, the issue is limited to the content added by Benny Johnson.
BuzzFeed takes its responsibility to readers very seriously, and plagiarism is a major breach of that responsibility. Please read our apology to readers here.
2. President Obama has had a no good, rotten week so far.
3. It all started when the IRS was found to be unfairly singling out certain groups for review.
4. Groups with "Tea-Party", "Patriot" and "9/12" in their names were being targeted and vetted with far more scrutiny than others.
5. Singling out groups because of their political orientation is not allowed.
6. The IRS went as far as asking some groups who their donors were, whether their top officers ever planned on running for office and for print outs of their tweets and Facebook postings.
7. Each request ended with a warning of "penalties of perjury" for non-compliance.
8. On multiple occasions, IRS director Steven T. Miller denied targeting groups to Congress, even though he had been previously briefed that the IRS was doing so.
9. Congress and Britney both say:
10. In the wake of this report, two Billy Graham organizations and one pro-Israel group have claimed that they were also unfairly targeted.
11. This IRS targeting has drawn bi-partisan outrage.
12. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer told reporters "The IRS activity was inappropriate, inconsistent with our policies and practices as a country, very concerning."
13. "My question is, who's going to jail over this scandal?" House Leader John Boehner asked Wednesday morning.
14. And House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa plans to hold a hearing next Wednesday where he will grill former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman.
15. Meanwhile, multiple targeted groups are threatening to sue the IRS over the discriminatory practice.
16. But if you think thats the end of it take a seat.
17. On Monday, the Associated Press discovered that the Department of Justice had obtained two months of private telephone records of AP reporters and editors.
18. The AP said the DOJ seized multiple phone records of AP reporters and offices.
19. And the collective media world said:
20. In a press conference Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder justified the seizure as part of a DOJ investigation into information that was leaked to the AP about a foiled terror plot.
Holder said: "trying to determine who was responsible for that, I think, required very aggressive action."
21. But this DOJ seizure also drew widespread bi-partisan condemnation.
22. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the actions were "inexcusable.. All I know is it's wrong."
23. But that's not all!
24. Both of the above scandals come just a week after a woeful hearing on the administrations culpability in the Benghazi terror attacks.
25. Political journalists right now are just like:
26. Obama has said that the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS was 'intolerable and inexcusable.'
27. But the White House is staying far away from the AP scandal.
Press Secretary Jay Carney said: "We are not involved in decisions made in connection with criminal investigations, as those matters are handled independently by the Justice Department."
28. Administration policy:
29. Hill sources tell BuzzFeed that we can expect "months of congressional hearings on these matters."
30. And all of DC says:
- The controversial HB2 "bathroom law" in North Carolina is on the cusp of being repealed, but LGBT activists say the repeal bill still allows discrimination.
- Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, is meeting with senators to revive a bill designed to reduce mass incarceration and recidivism.
- Trump's first meeting with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping will take place at the president's Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida April 6 and 7.
- The trailer for the new film version of Stephen King's "It" has dropped and the general consensus is that it will make you defecate your pants 🤡

Postgame notes: "Definitely something I can work with"
The conversation came between starts, some time between A.J. Burnett's nine-run debacle in Baltimore and his got-the-job-done start tonight in Boston.
"When we talked, it was basically me telling him what I'd seen through time," Larry Rothschild said. "I don't want to get into details of the conversation. I said, 'Look, you might not like what I say, but here's what's out there. Here's where I think we have to go.' And he was great. Really good… I give him a lot of credit for what he did tonight."
This was the first time since June 29 that Burnett allowed fewer than three runs in a start. He lasted just 5.1 innings, but he made only one critical mistake tonight, and that was the two-run homer to Dustin Pedroia. Other than the first two batters in the fourth, he didn't let a runner past first base until the sixth.
"I felt pretty comfortable for the most part, new gig and all," Burnett said. "I was just really relaxed out there tonight and went one pitch at a time. I didn't miss over the plate a lot. I missed over the plate basically twice, both to Pedroia. My misses were down and even though I was behind on a lot of guys, they weren't able to square a lot up because of that."
Burnett's new "gig" is a slight change to his mechanics. He's changed where his hands start — both in the windup and out of the stretch — and there's less of a turn in his delivery.
"Minor changes," he said. "But major to a guy who's been pitching the same way for 11 years. I looked at it with an open mind and it felt good… It's definitely something I can work with. I felt real comfortable out there. I've only really been working on that for three days. I've been pitching the same way for 11 years, so it's a big change, but as the game went on I felt more comfortable."
No sense painting this as the start of a turnaround. It's one start after two months of disappointment, but it was a glimpse of the reason Burnett got that five-year contract in the first place. He can be a good Major League starter, and the Yankees best-case scenario doesn't involved finally dumping Burnett to the bullpen. It involves getting Burnett pitching well again.
"We need A.J.," Russell Martin said. "And I think Larry had a big part in it, just simplifying a couple of the things in his mechanics just to get him consistent in his delivery. And then from there it was just him executing pitches, and we were on the same page for the most part of the game. It was good for him to fill that role against a really good lineup."
Final word from Rothschild: "The one thing that he's done is competed all along. Even in the toughest games, the toughest circumstances, he's competing. That's a pretty good place to start."
Here's Burnett.
• The Major League debut of Jesus Montero was rather forgettable. The Yankees top hitting prospect went 0-for-4 with a hit by pitch. In his first three at-bats, he ended three innings with a total of six runners left stranded. But still, it was a debut, and four at-bats mean nothing in the course of a career.
"It means a lot for me, for my life," Montero said. "Thank God I'm here for the first time and the first opportunity that I got to play in the big leagues. It was amazing for me today. After the first at-bat I feel more comfortable and I hit more well. I didn't get the base hit, but I hope soon."
• The big base hit, instead, came from the current Yankees catcher. Martin's two-run double in the seventh turned everything around. Up to that moment, the Yankees had stranded 12 runners in the first six innings. "We just couldn't seem to get the big hit off of Lester," Joe Girardi said. "He's a strikeout guy, so he's going to sometimes have the bases loaded and get out of it. We got him out early, got him out after five and we were able to capitalize on some scoring chances after we got him out."
• Terrific at-bat by Andruw Jones to start that seventh inning. His walk came after 14 pitches. Everyone in the clubhouse seemed to mention it at least once. Jones tied a career-high with three walks in the game, something he hadn't done since 2006.
• Also plenty of talk about the Curtis Granderson catch in the sixth. That was a diving play that saved at least one run, maybe two. Might have been the difference in the game. "The Grandy man," Burnett said. "He can do it all can't he?"
• Mark Teixeira has a bruised right knee and he's day-to-day. No x-rays were taken, and no tests are planned, but Girardi said he's not sure Teixeira will be able to play tomorrow. Teixeira tried to stay in the game, but after playing defense for a half inning, his knee got stiff. "I couldn't move," he said.
• Robinson Cano had his team-leading 43rd multi-hit game.
• Derek Jeter played his 2,405th game, passing Mike Schmidt for the 15th-most games played all with same team. He went 2-for-4 tonight and is hitting .347 since coming off the disabled list.
• Boone Logan struck out the only batter he faced for the fifth time this season, the most such appearances in the American League.
• The Yankees lost eight of nine against the Red Sox in the first half, but since the all-star break, these teams are 3-3 against one another. "We didn't play very well the first nine games against them," Girardi said. "They beat us up pretty good, but we've pitched a lot better against them and our at-bats have been a lot better."
• Last word on the Red Sox comes from Martin: "It feels good. I've been saying the whole time, I don't think there's a team better than the other. Every time we play them it's one of those things where, the team that plays the best that day is going to win. And today we just played a little bit better than them. It's going to be like that from here on out. If we see them in the playoffs, it's going to be the same way."

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Post-Thrombotic Syndrome
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or deep vein blood clot. After a while, this blood clot (usually in your leg), can damage the vein.
Damage to the vein can lead to more pressure in the veins. The increased pressure can cause long-term problems such as swelling, skin damage, and painful sores (venous skin ulcers) near the ankle.
PTS can be a long-term problem that lasts for years.
PTS is also called postphlebitic syndrome.
Symptoms of post-thrombotic syndrome include:
You may need to wear specially fitted compression stockings to treat PTS. You may need to use an intermittent pneumatic compression device. These devices inflate and deflate knee-high boots. These stockings and devices may help with pain and swelling. If you have sores, you may need medicines and bandages to help the sores heal.
Your doctor may prescribe pain medicines. Propping up your leg may reduce pain and swelling.
You might try an exercise program to help relieve PTS symptoms. Talk with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Your doctor might recommend strength training for your legs and aerobic exercise, such as walking.
For people who have severe symptoms and have a risk of serious problems, surgery or a catheter procedure might be done to restore blood flow. These procedures are not commonly done.
The treatment of DVT with anticoagulant medicine may help prevent post-thrombotic syndrome.
Thrombolytic medicines are not commonly used, but they may be given to treat DVT. They may help prevent PTS. These medicines can quickly dissolve a blood clot, but they also greatly increase the risk of serious bleeding.

I guess Jerry Jones is a fan of mediocrity.
I guess Jerry Jones is a fan of mediocrity.
I apologize if this was posted somewhere in this thread but after watching the Romo highlights over and over again...how great would it be to have a WR of Dez Bryants ability on our roster?
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
What did you guys think the Cowboys were going to do? Draft a rookie and start him next year? Say what you want about Romo, but he is far and away the best option for Dallas in the next 3-4 years. If people are paying attention this year they will see that QBs are the ONLY position that is getting paid anymore. Teams are realizing that spending more than 10 million a year on a player that ISNT a QB is bad business. There a few exceptions with a couple elite WRs and pass rushers, but the rest of the league is seeing a huge devaluation.
Yeah, but the BIG question is:
How much did they pay Tanny for helping set the terms of this deal?
If Romo had Schilens, Gates and Cumby instead of Austin, Bryant and Witten he would have self-destructed. Amazing how in the name of hating Mark Sanchez for 1 bad season in which he had no one to throw to every NFL QB is insanely overrated and considered the ideal of perfection on this site.
Sanchez's 4 playoff wins are the result of his team? Have you guys seen some of the stacked rosters Tony Homo tanked with in Dallas?
You are one delusional human being. Mark Sanchez is one of the all time worst QB's in the history of the NFL. Why dont you talk about Sanchez advantages that Romo has never had? Has Romo had a top 5 running game and top 5 defense that Sanchez was given to support his middling play? If Sanchez was given the defense that Romo had to support him Sanchez would have been benched after his second year and would be entrenched as a second or third string loser QB that we all know now he is.
Money wise no not really. Not much more then what Vick got a few years back only your stuck with him at least 4 years. Issue here is he is 33 and Dallas is in no condition to make a SB run anytime soon. They will be in the same cap situation next year and still not have enough around him to win. Had they traded him and gotten 1 st your talking a 2 year rebuild easy and they'd set themselves up nicely cap wise for at least 5 years. Dallas will now need to beef up that line and fill some pretty big wholes on a new D all threw the draft. Not an easy thing to do. They need to hit on a lot of picks to even be a PO team.
Romo should wear a ski mask when he signs that contract.
Jerry Jones = Dope.
It's interesting that his cap hit will be quite large in 2014 and 2015. Ihave to assume they restructure after 1 or 2 years
Romo Cap hit by year
2014: $21.8M (Cap Cost if Cut $28.2M)
2015: $25.3M (Cap Cost if Cut $19.9M)
2016: $15.1M (Cap Cost if Cut $11.6M)
2017: $19.0M (Cap Cost if Cut $5M)
If Romo plays at a 2009/2011 level then, then the Cowboys will restructure another long term deal in a few years. But if Romo plays like he did last season for the next two years, I'm curious how they get out from under that contract.
Romo's critics are completely justified for ripping him, but all it takes is one. I remember Peyton Manning being a "stats guy who choked when the games counted" also...until the Colts finally won a SB.
IF Romo puts it together and the Cowboys win a SB in the next few years, none of what happened before that will matter. And when you look at his body of work (well, at least regular season work), it's hard to say that he isn't the best option for the Cowboys in the short term.

EU Says Countries Must Shoulder Responsibility for Ailing Banks
Rebecca Christie and Jim BrunsdenEuro-area states should only be able to seek direct help for their banking systems from the currency zone's firewall fund if their national solvency is at risk, the European Commission said in a draft report.
Otherwise, the European Stability Mechanism should lend funds to the affected nation, which would then be responsible for channelling the money to overhaul its lenders as was the case for Spain, according to the document obtained by Bloomberg News. Direct ESM aid is part of the European Union's strategy to shore up its banking system through common supervision and standards for dealing with failing banks.
A nation with weak banks "will qualify for a direct recapitalization only if its public finances are very seriously at risk," said the undated report intended to accompany commission plans for centralized bank resolution in the euro area, scheduled for release in coming weeks.
As the EU struggles with how to restore economic growth and overcome its sovereign debt crisis, Germany and France last week said work on a banking union to bolster crisis prevention needs to proceed in a coordinated way, suggesting that guidelines for ESM direct aid won't be ready mid-2013 as planned.
Direct Aid
EU leaders agreed last year that the ESM should be empowered to bypass national authorities and give aid directly to banks in a crisis. The step, like the broader banking union plan, was targeted at breaking financial links between banks and sovereigns.
The EU should confront troubles in its financial system that led to five euro members seeking rescues, according to the undated document. "The question of who pays and assumes losses when a bank is resolved is critical," it said. "Losses cannot be legislated away."
The 500 billion-euro ($661 billion) ESM is expected to make as much as 60 billion euros available for bank aid, according to the draft. Taking into account other ESM lending, this would leave 210 billion euros available for new programs, and that amount would rise to 270 billion euros by the end of this year when Spain's bank-aid program ends.
The prospect of direct aid from the ESM will complement proposals for a Single Resolution Mechanism that will include roles for the commission, bank supervisors and national authorities. This mechanism needs its own fund, which will start out guaranteed by nations and over time be replaced by industry fees, which also would repay the fund for any losses, the report said.
Common Fund
The common fund "should have a guarantee and/or credit line from a public backstop," the report said. "This could match the target size of the fund the first year and be progressively reduced so as to cover only the difference between the target size of the fund and its actual size."
The EU should move ahead with all components of the banking union plan as fast as it can, the report said. To avoid delays "concluding these steps should however not be conditional on one another," the report said.
The draft also said nations will be responsible for any public funds required before 2015, when EU regulators are expected to gain powers to force losses on some creditors under new "bail-in" rules.
EU resolution rules will apply to countries within the euro area, along with any other nations that sign for joint supervision by the European Central Bank. To make the bank backstop system work, nations could amend the ESM treaty or sign bilateral arrangements with participating non-euro nations, according to the document.
