Apostolic succession
It is through the doctrine of Apostolic Succession that the Orthodox Christian Church maintains that it is the spiritual successor to the original body of believers in Christ that was composed of the Apostles. This succession manifests itself through the unbroken succession of its bishops back to the apostles.
The unbrokenness of apostolic succession is significant because of Jesus Christ's promise that the "gates of hell" (Matthew 16:18) would not prevail against the Church, and his promise that he himself would be with the apostles to "the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). According to this interpretation, a complete disruption or end of such apostolic succession would mean that these promises were not kept as would an apostolic succession which, while formally intact, completely abandoned the teachings of the Apostles and their immediate successors; as, for example, if all the bishops of the world agreed to abrogate the Nicene Creed or repudiate the Holy Scripture.
The Orthodox believe that their teachings today are the same as or are in essential harmony with the teaching of the first apostles. This form of the doctrine was formulated by Irenaeus of Lyons in the second century, in response to certain Gnostics. These Gnostics claimed that Christ or the Apostles passed on some teachings secretly, or that there were some secret apostles, and that they (the Gnostics) were passing on these otherwise secret teachings. Irenaeus responded that the identity of the original Apostles was well known, as was the main content of their teaching and the identity of the apostles' successors. Therefore, anyone teaching something contrary to what was known to be apostolic teaching was not, in any sense, a successor to the Apostles or to Christ.
In addition to a line of historic transmission, Orthodox Christian churches, as also the Non-Chalcedon Orthodox churches, additionally require that a hierarch maintain Orthodox Church doctrine, which is that of the Apostles, as well as communion with other Orthodox bishops. The Orthodox Christians have at times permitted clergy ordained by Roman Catholic and Anglican bishops to be rapidly ordained within Orthodoxy. However, this is a matter of oikonomia and not recognition of Apostolic Succession.

Just downloaded the source and am trying to sort it out. I'm developing using NetBeans 6.1, so I've got a bit of work to do to create a project and all. What are you developing in and do you have a build environment for the source?
The first thing that I did was to cut down the "image bundle" set of images. There were over 1000 images in that directory and only a handful were being used.
My first run attempt (building from source) ended without a toolbar being constructed. I'm still trying to figure out what's going on there. I'll send you any fixes that I create along the way.

The other day, while having lunch, I stumbled onto some old WHAT'S MY LINE episodes on youtube, and I noticed that Dorothy Kilgallen not only almost always knew who the mystery guest was — but often seemed like she knew well in advance and was just stringing things out for the sake of appearances.
Of course this should be the case.
I realize this news is about 60 years late, but she knew who was in town the minute they got into town. First of all, she was a gossip columnist, with her feelers everywhere, so if someone was in town, people would tell her. Beyond that, she didn't have to rely on informants. Earlier that week, she was probably getting phone calls from the celebrity's publicists, wanting to drop items in her column. Notice that every single person who is the mystery guest is there for the sake of selling something. They always have a new project they're promoting.
The above show with a very young Liz Taylor in 1954 illustrates these points. Kilgallen knows who it is three questions before she guesses.
The other panelists were well-plugged in, as well. They all were in high society or show business, and they all had their ears close to the ground. But not like Dorothy Kilgallen, for whom celebrities were her job. That's why the others seemed to be guessing, but she always had a pretty good idea going in.
I imagine on any given Sunday there were only a half dozen people, at most, that the mystery guest could have been, and the rest was an easy process of elimination.
I realize this is of no interest to anyone who has anything better to do, but I figured I'd mention it.
Likewise, you can always know the real person on TO TELL THE TRUTH, by watching all three as the person's biography is read. The real person is the only one who listens to it.
Update: Here's a rare case of what happens when the celebrity isn't in town to publicize something — and Kilgallen isn't on the panel. They have no idea who it is:

Wireless carriers hope they can weather Nemo better than Sandy.
With a massive blizzard hitting the Northeast region just months after superstorm Sandy devastated the area, the carriers are working to avoid the same kind of mass outages that previously struck their networks and left hundreds of thousands of people without service.
AT&T said it has an "arsenal of disaster response equipment and personnel on standby." The company has topped off its fuel generators at various cell sites, installed and tested high-capacity backup batteries, as well as "Quick Connect Generator Plugs," and staged additional emergency response equipment in various areas.
Verizon, meanwhile, has banks of batteries that provide at least eight hours of backup power to most of its facilities, including batteries that can last 24 hours for major switching centers. Most of its cell sites are equipped with emergency generators as well, and like AT&T, Verizon has been busy topping off fuel reservoirs at those sites.
Verizon also has emergency mobile equipment, including cells on wheels, cells on light trucks, and generators on trucks to increase capacity in an emergency.
Sprint likewise has fueled up hundreds of portable and permanent cell site generators, and has dozens of network and response technicians on standby for deployment, and ensured its network switching facilities in the path of the storm are fueled and operational. Sprint also has several satellite cell on light trucks, known as SatCOLTs, as well as mobile phones and broadband devices to be used for public safety and emergency officials.
T-Mobile said its engineers and rapid response teams are preparing to safeguard its network.
Here are some tips that the carriers are offering in preparation for the storm:
Stay charged: Keep all of your mobile and electronic devices fully charged in case the power goes out. If you have extra batteries, keep those charged too. A laptop can double as another battery in a pinch; just plug your phone into its USB port for a quick charge.
Have the right apps: Don't have a flashlight or good weather app? Now's the time to download one.
Conserve power: In case of an outage, turn off extraneous connections such as Bluetooth, or even Wi-Fi. Use the phone sparingly, as the display takes up a lot of power. Here's a full list of tips for conserving power.
Use text messages: Text messages are less draining on the network and use less power than a long phone call. Text messages also free up the wireless network for emergency use.
Plan ahead: Designate someone in your family to be the central contact, and make sure each family member contacts that person in case of an emergency should they get separated. Also, it's smart to keep your emergency contacts and e-mails on your phone (if you haven't already done so). Those numbers should include the local fire station, police department, and closest hospital. Likewise, you can use the family location features that take advantage of the phone's GPS and is offered by some of the carriers.
Exercise patience: Call volume will likely be high, so be prepared to wait awhile for your phone call to go through, especially if things get bad.

News and reports from the world of vintage Audi, Auto Union, DKW, Wanderer, and NSU.
Here's something you don't see every day. There's a 1971 Audi Super 90 up for auction on Ebay. This is a little known car developed in a time when Audi was struggling to get back on the map, under Mercedes-Benz control and about to be sold to Volkswagen. The shape is classic - a two-door precursor to the C1 Audi
Be it in the traditional side of the enthusiast scene or the air-ride equipped 'stance' side of the scene, a pervading trend in modified cars are clean vintage cars with an OE+ look. Take for instance this '73 100 LS 2-door featured on German vintage car website Youngtimer Scene. The rarity of a C1 2-door, combined with stunning bodywork and restored vintage mesh-style racing wheels probably had you at "hello", but just

Just two black Audi Sport quattros were built, one for Walter Rohrl and one for Ferdinand Piech.

We doubt we have to define it, but a Matryoshka doll is that toy of Russian heritage where one doll opens up to reveal another inside... and another... and another. It's a simple idea, and also clever when applied to this new print ad for the R8 by one of Audi's ad agencies DDB Barcelona.
The tag line for the ad is "Audi R8: A sporty car full of history", which is well exemplified with

One of the advantages of Fourtitude's networked Vortex Media Group forums are its networked forums, most notably that of The Car Lounge or TCL as we tend to refer to it in emails and typed communications around our offices. TCL has become a fixture of people with all sorts of automotive interest and that's particularly exemplified in posts like one we found today by a forum user on here known as renglish
We've stumbled across a little classic Audi love over on Tinypic.com in the form of an Audi ur quattro template. A red original quattro such as this one has been tearing up the screens in the BBC series Ashes to Ashes and that car apparently inspired this paper cutout template.
The theory is simple.
1. Go to TinyPic and download the highest resolution version of the car.
2. Print with color printer

Colorado is a leader in promoting the use of American natural gas as a transportation fuel. The Center for American Progress recently unveiled their report "Natural Gas: A Bridge Fuel for the 21st Century." The report noted the recent discoveries of natural gas shale represented an, "unprecedented opportunity to use gas as a bridge fuel to a 21st-century energy economy that relies on efficiency, renewable sources, and low-carbon fossil fuels."
Unlike most natural resources in America, natural gas reserves have actually grown as modern drilling technology has opened vast new shale plays across the country to the economic and environmentally safe recovery of the natural gas they contain.
The latest study conducted by the Potential Gas Committee, in cooperation with the Colorado School of Mines, estimated that there are more than 2,000 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas available for recovery in the continental United States.
With enough natural gas to last more than a century, we have more than enough to turn away from imported gasoline and diesel to power our cars and trucks and create an entirely new industry around America's rolling stock running on clean, domestic natural gas.
In spite of the recession, we are still importing about two-thirds of all the oil we use in America. In July we imported 374 million barrels of oil at a cost of over $24 billion. Seventy percent of that oil is used to fuel our 250 million cars and light trucks and millions of heavy duty trucks — including 18-wheelers.
There are over 10 million vehicles in the world running on natural gas, so we already know that this technology works. Unfortunately only about 130,000 of them are in the United States.
The place to start this conversion process is with heavy-duty trucks. The U.S. House and Senate are considering the NAT GAS Act, which will provide incentives for truckers — companies large and small — to replace their trucks burning imported diesel with vehicles running on American natural gas. As a primary co-sponsor and ardent supporter, we were in attendance at the introduction of the House version on April first and have since been joined by 87 additional bi-partisan co-sponsors of this crucial legislation.
If we replace some of the diesel trucks on America's roads with those running on domestic natural gas that would keep billions of dollars circulating through the U.S. economy instead of sending it to places like Saudi Arabia, Angola, or Venezuela.
Colorado has made an excellent start in this process. At Denver International Airport, almost every major airline is using natural gas vehicles (NGVs), from baggage tugs to parking shuttles. Many cities and counties across Colorado are already operating compressed natural gas buses as well as garbage and recycling trucks, with more on the way.
Natural gas also burns far cleaner than either gasoline or diesel and produces virtually no particulate emissions. As Colorado searches for new ways to protect the air from its cities to its farms, the value of switching from imported oil to domestic natural gas becomes more and more clear.
We are proud to co-sponsor and support the NAT GAS Act and will continue to work with members of the House, Senate, and the Administration to ensure that this critical bill becomes law.

We were delighted to have well known Fiddler ~ Maurice Duncan over here on holiday, last week in Ballycastle & he made such an impression on the local musicians, that I felt compelled to compose this wee March in honour of his visit.
This tune came to me, while playing my Nyckelharpa. However, for this video I play it on my Fiddle, Mandolin, Nyckelharpa & English Concertina.
Should anyone be interested in learning it, you'll find the ABCs & Sheet Music over on the Session website.

Yes, Pokemon X & Y looks excellent, visually. But even so, looking at the photoshop handiwork of Justin—Bieber, it's hard not to fantasize about an entire Pokemon game in this particular style, with backgrounds like these.
I mean, it's gorgeous! So much detail. Take a look:
Granted, we don't have to leave the sprites to the imagination (or wait until X & Y's release)—artist Noscium has cooked up a number of awesome Mega Evolution sprites already, along with sprites of the new Pokemon in X & Y. Check em out:

What is it about the color PINK .I am definitely a girl who loves it! Maybe its because I have ALL boys and need some femininity in my life! This PRETTY IN PINK 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Jamielyn Nye of I {heart} Nap Time.
Jamielyn said– "I knew I wanted to go over the top with my daughters first Birthday party. This was my first party that Ive styled and I had so much fun creating the party decor. The theme I went with was Pretty in Pink.
My daughter Emmalyn is just about as girly as they come and she LOVES pink. She enjoys trying on my pearls and her bows, so I wanted to tie that into the theme as well. I love to create decor on a budget so I found a lot of the decor pieces from Goodwill and upcycled them with pink spray paint.
{photography done by Momentology Photography}
My favorite upcycle was an old rusty chandelier I found for $5. I turned it into a beautiful pink cake stand trimmed with pearls. It completed the whole dessert table! You can find the tutorial here.
I also turned an old nightstand I found for $2 into a Pretty in Pink candy station. I converted some dollar store glass vases by pouring pink paint inside and swirling it around. Then I filled them with fresh pink flowers to add to the dessert table. You can find both of those tutorials here. I created polka dot favor bags with ribbon and a thank you tag that they could fill with candy. At the candy station we had pink gumballs, sixlets, rock candy, gummy bears, suckers and bubble gum sticks.
I also spray painted a bunch of cute funky frames with pink spray paint to display Emmalyns photos from her first Birthdays shoot.
For the party we served pink lemonade, club wraps, chicken croissant sandwiches, chips, veggies, fruit and strawberry dip. I poured the pink lemonade in mason jars topped with citrus flower lids and pink striped straws. I wrapped each jar with ribbon, lace and twine securing it with glue dots. See the mason jar cups tutorial here.
The dessert bar was the best part! For the backdrop I hung up ruffle fabric with mounting tape and hung pommettes in the center. I draped the tables with pink fabric and hung the ribbon banner across the front.
We had vanilla cake with strawberry filling, red velvet cake pops, royal icing cookies and strawberry cupcakes.
For the party we rented a princess bounce house and the kids had a ball jumping while the parents chatted and ate lots of cookies! The kids also had fun tossing balloons and blowing bubbles. Of course the best entertainment of all was watching our sweet girl dig into her first Birthday cake. We all snapped pictures with the Birthday queen and she just kept eating away.
I couldnt have done this party with out the support from my wonderful family and fabulous vendors. THANK YOU!!"

For Immediate Release Dec. 24, 2018 10AMJill Stein for President 2016 campaignContact: email@example.com
Responding to a media frenzy around allegations that Russians supported her campaign with a small number of documented social media posts, former Green Party Presidential nominee Jill Stein pointed out that the report from the New Knowledge cybersecurity firm was effectively invalidated by revelations of the firm's own election meddling. The New York Times reported that New Knowledge "orchestrated an elaborate false flag operation" creating an impression of Russian interference in the 2017 US Senate election in Alabama. Stein added, "It's all the more damning that the firm's election meddling was sponsored by partisan Democratic funders." Facebook has just suspended the account of the CEO of New Knowledge for his involvement in the secret scheme.
Stein stated, "A report on election interference, issued by a partisan firm directly implicated in election interference, is simply not credible and should be rejected out of hand. In addition, the report is misleading, biased through selective use of facts, and misrepresents the nature of internet communications. The use of this tainted report by uncritical corporate media outlets to smear Green political opposition and peace advocacy speaks volumes about the dangerous new McCarthyism that is threatening our democracy and pushing us towards greater militarism that is already bankrupting us at home and wrecking havoc abroad."
For Immediate Release April 26, 2018PRESS CONTACT: Dave Schwab 518-610-2708 firstname.lastname@example.com
Today Green Party 2016 presidential candidate Jill Stein announced that she has completed handing over emails and other documents in response to the Senate Intelligence Committee's request for information pertaining to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Stein reiterated her strong support for legitimate inquiry into corruption, quid pro quo deals, money laundering, obstruction of justice and other illegal activity in the 2016 election. She cautioned, however, against over-reach and misuse of "Russiagate" to promote warmongering, censorship, and suppression of opposition to the political establishment. To that effect, she warned, "Russiagate" is both symptom and further cause of our current state of rampant militarism that is harming our democracy.
Stein also noted that explosive conditions in Syria illustrate the danger of "Russiagate" warmongering. She emphasized that US-Russian dialogue is critically important, as it was in the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, with diplomacy being the only effective pathway to solving the expanding crises of war, nuclear confrontation and climate catastrophe.
Stein observed that concerns about election interference - whether by foreign governments, criminal networks, domestic partisans, voter suppression schemes or other sources - are not diminishing as the 2018 midterms approach.The Cambridge Analytica-Facebook scandal in particular adds to growing concerns. She called for a nonpartisan Emergency Commission for Election Protection and Voting Justice to ensure the right of every American to "a vote we can trust - that is accurate, secure and just." Stein herself is overseeing the only known post-election investigation of potential voting machine hacking in 2016.
While providing documents responsive to the Committee's requests, Stein objected to requests for constitutionally protected materials, including the improper request by the bipartisan committee for internal policy deliberations of her campaign, the flagship for an opposition political party. She declined to provide this material, noting the request intrudes into the First Amendment rights of political and associational freedom that are critical to political liberty for all Americans. Such Constitutional threats add to the dangerous current climate in which progressive political opposition, social movements, and the anti-war community are being targeted with censorship, surveillance and political intimidation.
Stein's proposals to protect elections, civil liberties and democracy without resorting to warmongering, censorship or repression are addressed in a longer statement that can be found at https://www.jill2016.com/stein_senate_statement.
Over a year after the historic effort to recount the 2016 vote, our legal team is still at work in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania fighting for an election system that is accurate, secure and just - and free from interference by any intruders, whether foreign or domestic!
Towards that end, we now have the exciting opportunity to conduct a groundbreaking state-wide examination of the voting machine "source code" - a crucial piece of voting machine software which controls the actual counting and tallying of the votes.
Incredibly, the source code for voting software has never before been examined for evidence of tampering or errors that would compromise an election!
December 23, 2017
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday December 18, 2017
Contact:Dave Schwab, Communications firstname.lastname@example.com 518-610-2708
Responding to a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence request for documents pertaining to interference in the 2016 election, former Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein said she is cooperating by sharing all communications relevant to the committee's mission. "We take seriously the issue of potential interference in our elections, as demonstrated by our continuing efforts to investigate the integrity of the 2016 election and examine our voting machines that are widely known to be vulnerable, but which still have not been examined for evidence of interference. To restore trust in our elections and democracy itself, we must safeguard our elections from all potential sources of interference, whether by foreign state actors or domestic political partisans, criminal networks, lone wolves, or private corporations - including those who control voting software."
"Our campaign has observed the highest standards of transparency and integrity in our interactions with foreign nationals as well as Americans. Our communications with Russian individuals regarding an invitation to speak on international relations at the RT 10th anniversary media conference will confirm what we stated publicly at that time and since: that we did not accept any payment or even reimbursement for the trip, and that we made the trip with the goal of reaching an international audience and Russian officials with a message of Middle East peace, diplomacy, and cooperation against the urgent threat of climate change, consistent with long-standing Green principles and policies."
"We strongly support legitimate inquiry into any illegal activity in our elections - including quid pro quo deals, money laundering, corruption and violation of campaign finance laws. At the same time, we caution against the politicization, sensationalism and collapse of journalistic standards that has plagued media coverage of the investigation. In the current climate of attacks on our civil liberties, with the emergence of censorship in social media and the press, criminalization of protest, militarization of police and massive expansion of the surveillance state, we must guard against the potential for these investigations to be used to intimidate and silence principled opposition to the political establishment."
Stein said that she would release a more comprehensive statement about the investigation in the near future.
Fox Business, May 31
Former Green party presidential candidate Jill Stein says if the reports are true and President Trump withdraws from the 195-nation Paris accord agreement aimed at reducing gas emissions, he will in return "lock us into a horrific future of catastrophic climate change."
"The longer we delay action, the more catastrophic climate change will be. Water and temperature levels will soar in the next decades. The sixth mass extinction of species will accelerate, which will render the chances for human survival precarious at best. The issue is how many people will needlessly be forced to deal with – to die from - the ravages of extreme weather, droughts, famine, forced migrations, spread of diseases, and wars over access to land and water. And in Trump's world, it will be the poor and vulnerable communities that most bear the pain, starting with the developing nations that will cross the threshold to catastrophe within the next 5 years," Stein tells FOX BUSINESS.
May 25, 2017
Jill Stein, 2016 Green Party Presidential candidate, responded to President Trump's announcement of an election integrity commission to investigate the President's unsubstantiated claims about widespread voter fraud.
After Trump and his team fought tooth and nail against election integrity efforts in 2016, his attempt to brand a voter suppression campaign as "election integrity" has zero credibility right from the start.
Trump has appointed as vice chair of the commission Kris Kobach, the Kansas Secretary of State who has spearheaded the most extreme voter suppression campaigns since the Jim Crow era, including the Interstate Crosscheck program that disenfranchised up to 1.1 million voters in the 2016 election.
(MOSCOW) United States foreign policy in the Middle East is failing badly because it is built upon a futile quest for military and economic domination, according to Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.
Speaking as part of a panel of foreign policy experts at a forum organized by the RT news network, Stein said that solutions to problems such as jihadi terrorism would require Russia and the United States to work together, shedding outdated cold war attitudes that prevented collaboration on problems facing both nations.
April 9, 2017
From the inception of the recount efforts, we made it clear that we were committed to ensuring the integrity of the elections, and that we were not trying to change the outcome.
In that spirit, we are continuing to fight for voting justice in federal court. Here is a link to our latest brief.
In essence, our case challenges the unfairness of Pennsylvania's election system as a whole. Forcing voters to use unreliable machines that don't work, and then preventing voters from taking meaningful steps to ensure that their votes count, is simply not fair. The Constitution protects not just the right to vote, but the right to have your vote count.
March 17, 2017
Following the November 2016 General Election, Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein requested a recount in Wisconsin, for reasons laid out in the following report. The 2016 election in Wisconsin was remarkable for a number of reasons: the lowest voter turnout in decades, draconian new voter ID laws, and unusual and unexpected results in the Presidential contest, to name a few.
Because the recount did not change the winner of Wisconsin's electoral vote, state officials maintain that the election processes were satisfactory. Nothing could be further from the truth. The following report documents the many inadequacies and oversights generally accepted as routine by our election administrators.

hi! I'm birgit! I'm going to volunteer at the forest from January on - I'm already quite excited about it --- only about 2 months until then!!!
But the reason I'm writing is because I haven't received the activity agreement yet... my sending organization coordinator seems to be kind of concerned about that and that's a little contagious ...we both tried to contact you via mail but didn't get an answer.. veronika (the coordinator of my sending organization) got another job now so there's a new coordinator from november on so I guess things here will also be a little chaotic...
It would be great if you can tell me when you will send it to us!

The information provided above is only a generalized description of convenience store robbery. You must combine the basic facts with a more specific understanding of your local problem. Analyzing the local problem carefully will help you design a more effective response strategy.
Your analysis should examine the different risks evident in the stores, and be particularly focused on repeat victimization. Gathering information is labor-intensive and detailed. The more standardized your department's information-gathering process, the more opportunity you have to understand your robbery problem and reach conclusions.
In addition to criminal justice agencies, the following groups have an interest in the convenience-store robbery problem and should be considered for the contribution they might make to gathering information about the problem and responding to it:
The following are some critical questions you should ask in analyzing your particular problem of convenience store robbery, even if the answers are not always readily available. Your answers to these and other questions will help you choose the most appropriate set of responses later on.
Since environmental details are particularly relevant to this type of crime, it is important to listen carefully to victims' description of the robbery. You can collect pertinent information by asking victims incisive questions about the setting and circumstances of the crime.
It is also crucial to interview as many apprehended offenders as possible. to find out how they make their decisions. See Problem-Solving Tools Guide No. 3, Using Offender Interviews to Inform Police Problem-Solving, for further guidance on gathering information from offenders.
§ For more information on crime mapping tools, see www.iaca.net/software.asp.
Measurement allows you to determine to what degree your efforts have succeeded, and suggests how you might modify your responses if they are not producing the intended results. You should take measures of your problem before you implement responses, to determine how serious the problem is, and after you implement them, to determine whether they have been effective. All measures should be taken in both the target area and the surrounding area. For more detailed guidance on measuring effectiveness, see the Problem-Solving Tools Guide, Assessing Responses to Problems.
The following outcome measures can be useful in assessing whether your responses have impacted the convenience store robbery problem:

I've written before that the entertainment value alone makes writing about the financial services industry worthwhile. However, there is a dark side as well to this scenario: the resulting brain damage. That is, the damage that occurs to an unsuspecting brain when confronted with a notion so disconnected from its understanding of the real world that it experiences a momentary overload.
I'm struggling to recover from just such a mental meltdown after having just read FINRA CEO Richard Ketchum's sales pitch for the brokerage SRO taking over regulation of RIAs (as mandated by H.R. 4624), which he was scheduled to make at today's congressional hearing on the matter. I've gone on record many times with my great respect for FINRA and its trade counterpart, SIFMA, not for their business ethics, but for their brilliant marketing acumen. They have the high-priced ability to make even the most absurd, self-serving arguments sound like the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
(Click on this link to view Ketchum's complete testimony before the House Financial Services Committee on June 6, 2012.)
However, the Ketchum testimony before Rep. Spencer Bachus' House Financial Services Committee isn't that brilliant. In fact, its nine rambling pages contain only two real points—both of which are so lame as to make my brain involuntarily cry out 'Really?' (see my June 5 blog, Figures Don't Lie. Well, Sometimes They Do, on the use of that happy phrase). The testimony in fact makes me wonder whether Mr. Ketchum is either so sure that FINRA is a lock to become the SRO for RIAs, or that it's so out of the running that he decided that working on more compelling remarks is just a waste of time.
The first leg of Mr. Ketchum's pitch is the one that FINRA and its congressional supporters have been skating on for the past three months or so: "…between the Securities and Exchange Commission and FINRA, approximately 55% of [BDs] are examined annually. By contrast, according to the SEC, only 8% of registered investment advisers were examined in 2011… No one involved in regulating securities and protecting investors can be satisfied with a system where only 8% of regulated firms are examined each year. It is completely unacceptable and represents a major gap in investor protection."
Gap? What gap? my brain started to cry in a continuous loop. Even with today's big-government mentality in which imposing a tax or passing a law or writing a regulation seems to be synonymous with actually solving a problem, Ketchum equating exam visits with "investor protection" was more than my mind could handle.
An objective observer might point out that the actual data suggests just the opposite. In Ketchum's own words:
"In 2011, FINRA brought 1,488 disciplinary actions… …expelled 21 firms from the securities industry, barred 329 individuals and suspended 475 from association with FINRA-regulated firms."
On the RIA side, as I wrote in my March 20, 2012 blog, in 2010 (the last year for which we have data), "the SEC took 113 enforcement actions against investment advisors or investment companies." That's 1,488 vs. 113, and those 113 include some investment companies. Even accounting for the difference in the number of brokers vs. RIAs (50,200 retail brokers vs. 41,500 RIAs, give or take), that's some discrepancy: It would seem that perhaps brokers require more visits because FINRA regulation actually offers less consumer protection.
My old brain was still reeling from Ketchum's "consumer protection" argument when it got stomped on by his second point: That the costs of a FINRA SRO for advisors will be very reasonable, and that FINRA itself is the best resource for determining those costs. "Much has been said by opponents of increased oversight for investment advisers about the potential costs of an IA SRO…We at FINRA thought it was important to take an accurate and realistic look at what the numbers would actually look like for our organization…Our numbers reflect a realistic estimate for extending FINRA's examination program to cover investment advisers."
Mr. Ketchum goes on to attack the significantly higher cost estimates by the independent Boston Consulting Group: "The cost projections in the BCG study…are inaccurate and based on flawed methodology. By its own admission, BCG never consulted with FINRA or the SEC to discuss projected costs of IA oversight."
So let's be clear: By conducting a truly "independent" study, rather than taking FINRA's word about the "reasonableness" of the costs it will incur on a project it's advocating to undertake, the BCG study is "flawed"? At first, I was certain that senility had finally set in. Then, when the fog start to recede from my mind, I recalled a statement that Mr. Ketchum made just this past April 23, in which he announced his plan to raise BD fees in an effort to offset what he described as FINRA's "significant loss for fiscal year 2011."
It seems that despite having "taken a hard look at spending across FINRA to be sure we are operating as effectively and efficiently as possible…the cost of meeting our regulatory mandate is still expected to outpace our revenues." (See Melanie Waddell's April 27 AdvisorOne story.) In fact, the broker-dealer SRO is operating so efficiently that it's now necessary to increase its fees as follows:
- Its minimum advertising filing fees will go up 25%: the maximum fee, up 20%; and the fee for each page over 10 pages, up 100%.
- Its corporate financing fees will go up 50% (from .01% to .015%); and the cap on those fees will increase some 200%, from $75,000 to $225,000.
These not-insignificant increases are to shore up cost overruns in a business that the FINRA and its predecessor organizations (NASD and NYSE Regulation) have been running since 1939 (72 years for you quants).
Now I'm not saying FINRA doesn't know what it's doing: We all know that in business, stuff happens. Yet, according to Ketchum, FINRA's loss resulted from "The broader economic downturn (continuing) to affect trading volumes and industry revenues, which in turn has led to a decrease in FINRA's revenues." Yeah, who could have seen that coming? Still, to a skeptical mind, that might suggest that maybe we shouldn't be so quick to write off those independent cost estimates. (And we'll just save for another time the issue of FINRA raising its regulatory costs while its member firms are still reeling from the effects of the Great Recession.)
And that's it: To my mind, Mr. Ketchum's whole rationale for why FINRA should regulate RIAs boils down to these two points: FINRA makes more visits to brokerage firms, which collectively violate the law a lot more than RIAs; and FINRA can do it in a cost-effective way—despite its recent cost overruns, which somehow failed to find their way into his testimony.
Maybe he knows it's already a done deal. But I can't see how the congressmen at today's hearing, or anyone else who reads Mr. Ketchum's remarks can saying anything but: "Dude, really?"

Default won't happen.
This chart shows why the U.S. Government will not default on its debt, should it hit the statutory debt limit set by Congress (a limit that the Treasury Deparment suggests may be reached later this month).
(Click on image to see larger version.)
Look at the red spending bar.
Zero in on the small section at the far left, marked "Interest on Debt."
Now compare it to the entire green tax revenue bar above it, marked "Income."
The two bars aren't even close in length.
Uncle Sam takes in vastly more money each day than he needs to pay principal and interest on U.S. government bonds.
That's what a "default" is -- failing to pay your creditors on time.
Were we to arrive at "X day," meaning the day when the statutory debt limit is reached and the president can no longer legally borrow on the credit of the United States, the president would not default.
Rather, he would be forced to decide whom to pay first, and whom to pay later when sufficient funds become available. This is called prioritization.
No statute bars the president from prioritizing holders of U.S. government bonds over others to whom the government also has financial obligations. Some lawyers contend that the U.S. Constitution actually requires him to do so (14th Amendment, section 4).
Regardless of the law, every president, including the current one, when the question comes up, swears publicly never to do anything that would diminish the "full faith and credit" of the United States.
This term, "full faith and credit," is important, and, at the risk of boring the reader, I want to explain why.
"Full faith and credit" is a term of art, with a specific meaning. "Faith" is a word from the world of contracts. It means "keeping your promises." "Credit" is a word from the world of finance. It means "having a reputation for always repaying your debts to creditors, on time, in full, without fail." Creditors are people who have lent you money. Even the seemingly minor words "full" and "and" in the phrase are important: they narrow its meaning.
The precise meaning of the phrase is: "always paying back those who have lent you money, on time, in full, according to the terms of the contract, without fail."
It does not mean: "always paying your bills on time -- any kind of bill."
The key element in the definition is "those who have lent you money."
Another clue that the term has the more narrow meaning I've given is that we don't often hear it used outside the context of government debt. We don't hear people talk about the full faith and credit of BankAmerica, or of Joe Citizen. We do hear about the full faith and credit of the United States.
That may be because governments are held to a higher standard than other kinds of debtors, and rightly so. They have the power to tax -- to take their citizens' or subjects' money by force. Governments don't have a good excuse for missing payments to their creditors.
When someone purchases a U.S. government bond, he is lending money to the U.S. government. The "full faith and credit of the United States" means Uncle Sam's reputation for always paying promised principal and interest to holders of bonds that it has sold to them. It doesn't refer to Uncle Sam's reputation for paying others to whom he may owe money.
While other kinds of government payments -- paychecks, benefit checks, reimbursements, financial grants of various kinds -- may be subject to the terms of a contract and thus matters of "faith," they are never matters of "credit."
Okay, now that we've beat that dead horse into the ground, let's finish off the "default" canard by challenging ourselves with an example. Let's take the politically hardest example we can think of: Social Security.
What if Social Security checks don't go out on time, as scheduled? Is that a default No.
Social Security is paid out monthly, usually transferred electronically to retirees' bank accounts. Most Social Security payments are made on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday of each month. Let's say we hit the debt ceiling on the second Monday of the month, and, come Wednesday, the president runs short of cash and finds he can't make the regular Social Security payout. What does he do? He has no choice. He can't pay it. So he has to postpone it for, let's say, one week, due to lack of sufficient funds.
(This is very unlikely to happen, by the way. Look at the chart again.)
In this, the "worst of all possible scenarios," retirees will be inconvenienced, to be sure -- some, severely. Doubtless many will cry, "Breach of faith!" But none could truthfully cry, "Default!"
Remember, "default" is when you fail to pay your creditors. Uncle Sam will keep doing so, no matter what.
Markets don't much care about the government's "debts" to retirees. They do care a lot about its debts to creditors.
Those who warn of a "default" "rattling" markets and possibly causing "economic Armageddon" are either confused or consciously trying to confuse.
Yeah, you may say. But what about market volatility? Just talking about "going past X day" will "rattle" markets, and perhaps even trigger a recession!
Maybe, maybe not.
Uncle Sam has a perfect record when it comes to debt service. He has never yet missed an interest payment on U.S. government bonds.
(Okay, he did once, unavoidably, in 1979, due to a computer error, but the amount was so small and the delay so brief that it had no discernible effect.)
But Uncle Sam has missed other kinds of payments. Many times. And the world did not end.
Has the IRS ever been late in sending you your tax refund?
Has Medicare ever been late in reimbursing a doctor or hospital?
Of course!
No serious observer regards those kinds of delays as "defaults."
Delaying tens of billions in Social Security benefits would not rattle financial markets one-tenth as much as would a failure to make a tiny, legally obligatory interest payment on a series of U.S. Government bonds.
Why is every president so determined to avert a true default? Because no president wants to be the first to ruin our nation's perfect repayment record. It would reflect very negatively on his performance as president. It would be a black mark on his legacy.
In the event the president does run out of borrowing headroom, he will prioritize.
Default won't happen.

[Update: October 9: Moody's, one of the main independent credit rating agencies that determine whether a government is in "default," confirms that default won't happen.]

Debt Ceiling: Resources for Activists and Journalists
Chart: Why Default Won't Happen
Dec. 2008 CPI = 215.30 is 225.87 for 2012 Dec - increase is 4.48%
Hum-event listed 2008 spending at $2.9 trillion & 2012 spending at 3.54 trillion...up 22.07%
2012 spending @ CPI would be $3.03 trillion
your $2.988 revenue is within $42 billion of that $3.03 cpi number
WE DON'T NEED MORE MONEY OR a HIGHER DEBT LIMIT ! STOP THE LOOTING!
CPI is obviously cooked & the built in 6% or so per year to the continuing resolutions are numbers from the air.
All of the garbage in 2009 (Frank/Dodd bank collapse, bailouts, wars, etc.) are gone... so how does anyone have a real budget with checks & balances, due process, internal control, accountability, etc? There is NONE! A president who starts war on his own, funds terrorists, gives money like it grows on trees, creates limitless czar dynasties who answer to only him, etc do it without going to jail??? Misuses of public money - government or corporate are widely prosecuted crimes in the public state-local, and private - corporate sectors. There's no written law denying citizens or various government entities the right to remedy. Articles 4, 5, 6, & 7 haven't been amended!
300 million citizens can overwhelm traitors like Holder and Obama in a heart beat is we start using the Constitution and written law instead of listening to lying thieving traitors! RECALL & PROSECUTION WORKS!
Prioritization! There lies the problem for all of this. The President, the House and the Senate don't have the guts to sit down and rank every spending program in the Federal Government 1through 15,000 or whatever.
You only have so much money to use and when you have spent it all every program below that line should be axed. Guess what? Probably 40% or more of these programs should be gone!
But where are my manners!?! Thanks for the posting Dean, and the illustrative chart Matt. They both helped clarify and definitively explain an otherwise ether-open-to-interpretation issue (Great...now you've just made me use up ALL my $5 words for the day!!).
That chill in the air denotes more than the approach of fall kids. A country thrown into financial and economic chaos is ripe for 'emergency decrees' to 'correct' the situation. This rehetoric match the administration is dangling over the powder keg of public misconseptions in a sluggish economy is yet another option to trigger a 'crisis that you don't let go to waste' to grab and sustain even more federal power. For all our sakes...I hope I'm just whistling past the graveyard here.
OBAMA will FORCE a DEFAULT!
He will NOT BE EMBARASSED!
No the Tea Party anarchists are driving the economy into default to defeat his agenda.
No, seriously, he probably will force a default and blame on the Republicans. It's a lose-lose situation for them.
You're assuming that this president will uphold the Constitution. He's shown he's more than willing to ignore and violate the constitution when it suits him. What makes you think it's NOT part of his plan to diminish the full faith and credit of the US? He's managed to diminish US power in the eyes of the world. Isn't he the one always saying we need to be cut down to size so we can learn what the rest of the world feels like?
The President is already violating the constitution by borrowing money on credit of the United States. He ought to be impeach prosecuted, and put in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

Today's Top Stories: Google Glasses, EU and ACTA, Samsung Galaxy S II
Welcome to this morning's edition of "First To Know," a series in which we keep you in the know on what's happening in the digital world. Today, we're looking at three particularly interesting stories.
Google's Heads-Up Display Glasses
Google plans to launch glasses with a tiny heads-up display that will stream real-time information about the surroundings into the wearer's field of vision, the New York Times reports. The glasses will cost approximately as much as a typical smartphone, and we could see them on the market by the end of 2012.
EU Court to Rule on ACTA
The European Commission has asked the European Court of Justice to rule on the controversial anti-piracy agreement ACTA, the BBC reports. Though the agreement has already been signed by the U.S., UK, Japan and several EU countries, Germany, Denmark and Bulgaria have postponed the signing, fearing the document might be detrimental for their citizens.
The European Commission said it "decided today to ask the European Court of Justice for a legal opinion to clarify that the ACTA agreement and its implementation must be fully compatible with freedom of expression and freedom of the Internet."
Samsung Galaxy S II Coming to US Cellular
Samsung's flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S II, will be coming to US Cellular "soon" for a price of $239 on a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate. The 4.5-inch device sports a 1.2 GHz dual-core CPU, an 8-megapixel shooter and 16 GB of storage.

Anyone who's been watching EA knows that the publisher's going to be tethering portable spin-offs to its big releases. Last year's Dead Space game for iOS and Android proved such games could be great and yesterday we saw the debut of Mass Effect Infiltrator. This sector's a big deal for EA.
So, it's surprising that Battlefield 3: Aftershock—which we previewed last summer—just popped up into the App Store today with no fanfare.
What's even weirder is that the game's being sponsored by Act of Valor. The upcoming action movie features active-duty Navy SEALs and is for all intents and purposes an attempt to get the energy of Call of Duty—you know, the FPS rival to Battlefield 3—on the silver screen.
That sponsorship means that the game is free, though, so it costs nothing to try out the multiplayer game.

Who are they?
Christabelle and Hisa are energetic and determined women, capable of taking on and assuming responsibility. They are ambitious, enterprising and not lacking in courage, especially when they are motivated. They are susceptible to varying moods, which at times can be drastic and they could be known to overstep the mark. But even so, they are generous, genuine and uncompromising; they can´t stand flattery and hate injustice with a passion. They could have a taste for risk-taking, and are more than capable of assuming the role of the leader, especially since they seek power and are capable of taking command. They are loyal and frank, and although they are endowed with virtues such as tact and diplomacy, they are capable of extremely violent reactions if they feel they have been unfairly attacked, or if their self-respect is at stake. Although they are quite sporty, they are nonetheless extremely feminine females who want to be admired and desired, and this could be manifested by a warm and friendly attitude or through careful attention to their appearance. They can be coquettish and refined, appreciate expensive jewelry and luxury clothing and have a taste for all that is elegant and beautiful, somewhat sensitive to exterior signs of wealth. Christabelle and Hisa could turn out to be excellent business women, because they are pragmatic and very practical. As children, they are very expressive and affectionate, although they are also possessive and uncompromising, as well as jealous and touchy, at times. These are extremely responsible little ladies who are eager to please and who can be trusted. Naturally sociable creatures, they are happiest when surrounded by a group of friends, who tend to follow in their wake. They know how to broaden their horizons and enjoy playing with both their brothers´ and sisters´ toys, where action meets daydreams...
What do they like?
Christabelle and Hisa enjoy the company of their friends and meeting new people, and seek union, association and cooperation with others. With the master number 11, they tend to be concerned with others wellbeing and are capable of great empathy and solidarity, with utopian ideals and an acute sense of friendship. They give very good advice and their support and comfort is sought after, which is fine with them, especially because they are very attentive listeners, and possess such fine psychological insight. Their romantic lives could be slightly more complicated, as they can be domineering and bossy, despite the fact that they can often be convinced that the opposite is true! In reality, they are extremely demanding, and success in their relationship is terribly important, if not vital, as far as they are concerned. They tend to seek perfection and demand the impossible at times. Any tolerance they could lay claim to in theory disappears completely when it comes to their beloved, whose flaws they cannot bring themselves to accept. To give them their due, they are usually fiercely loyal and faithful (although they can be possessive and jealous too), but they are so very charming, sensual and refined, and they make such superb housewives and wonderful mothers, and you´ll wonder how you ever managed without her.

What do they do?
Christabelle and Hisa aren´t indifferent to the lucrative side of their chosen career, and are inclined to take advantage of their often favourable social origins in order to get ahead. They could be attracted to the advisory professions, those related to the fields of finance or economics, management or business, those related to elegance (hair-stylist, perfumery, decoration...), comfort (real estate, furniture ...), precision (industrial design, dental prosthesis...), attention to detail, dietetics, catering and gastronomy, or professions involving oral expression, and communications.

Stephen Sondheim's 1970 musical Company may be one of the best-known shows that few people have actually seen. Its most famous song, the addictively bouncy "Side by Side," has come to stand as one of Sondheim's most-beloved tunes—a popular Broadway stage revue of the composer's music was actually titled Side by Side by Sondheim—and yet many would be incapable of identifying which musical "Side by Side" originally came from.
For those who've never had the opportunity to hear the songs together with the actual play, Summer Repertory Theater is now staging the 41-year-old musical. Of course, 41 years of buildup is bound to produce some disappointment, and ultimately the show as a whole does seem less than the sum of its musical parts. Essentially plotless, with its most irritating song, "Bobby," repeated endlessly throughout the proceedings, Company is a series of vignettes about struggling marriages strung together as 35-year-old Bobby (Nathan C. Crocker), questioning his own aversion to marriage, visits his married friends, one unhappy couple at a time.
Little actually happens in Company, and the lovely song "Being Alive" turns out to be a less successful climax to Bobby's angsty quest than I'd hoped. With a generally weak book by George Furth, the show is all about the songs, and under the musical direction of Alex Wise, the music in the SRT production is the real power source of the show. The cast, though noticeably tired early on in the run, all have fine voices, and many find truly entertaining ways to infuse their songs with eccentric, character-driven life.
Highlights include Cody Craven's light and lovely take on the wistful "Sorry-Grateful," in which Bobby's friend Harry describes marriage as a bittersweet collision of conflicting emotions; "Getting Married Today," in which Amy (sung with delightfully supersonic mania by Sarah Crane) tries to talk herself out of marrying Paul; the aforementioned "Side by Side," in which Crocker is joined by the entire cast in a clever celebration of friendship; and most memorably, "The Ladies Who Lunch," a raw, very funny dissection of female survival techniques, magnificently sung by Tiffany Denise Hobbs, nearly taking the roof off the theater with her no-holds-barred ferocity.
Ultimately, it is the performances of the committed and talented cast, backed by a solid orchestra, that make this Company worth keeping.
'Company' runs through Aug. 7 at Summer Repertory Theater. 1501 Mendocino Ave., Santa Rosa. Dates and showtimes vary. $10-$25. 707.527.4343. www.summerrep.com.

HMAS Sydney

Premier Alan Carpenter in Perth today announced that the State Government would assist in a special commemoration service for HMAS Sydney.
Mr Carpenter said Geraldton MLA Shane Hill had been instrumental in recognising that an appropriate service be held to honour the 645 servicemen who lost their lives during HMAS Sydneys battle with the German raider, the Kormoran, on November 19, 1941.
Mr Hill will chair a small working group in Geraldton to identify a suitable date and program to honour these servicemen.
The discovery this week of HMAS Sydneys final resting place will hopefully end years of speculation on what actually happened that fateful November day and provide answers as to why none of the 645 Australians on board survived the battle, Mr Carpenter said.
This is an historic moment for Western Australia and indeed, for the nation.
The Premier said he was also supportive of Mr Hills suggestion that the current status of the Geraldton memorial be upgraded to reflect the significance of HMAS Sydney.
The memorial currently has national significance, however, Mr Hill has requested this be upgraded, he said.
Mr Hill said he was writing to the Federal Government to support the upgrade of the memorial, and said the importance of the discovery of HMAS Sydney was significant for all Australians.
I can only imagine that this historic discovery would be a mixture of great relief and sadness for the relatives and descendants of the 645 Australian servicemen who were lost at sea, Mr Hill said.
The discovery will hopefully bring some closure to the community, and resolve many years of not knowing where their loved ones final resting place was.
Mr Carpenter said he expected this years ANZAC Day ceremonies would have a very special significance, particularly in Geraldton and Carnarvon, because of HMAS Sydneys discovery.
Id like to pay a special tribute to those involved in the search for such a long time, the Premier said.
Lets hope the discovery answers all the questions surrounding one of the great historical maritime mysteries.
The State Government provided $500,000 in 2005 towards the search for HMAS Sydney, along with $250,000 from the NSW Government and $4.2million from the Commonwealth Government.
Mr Carpenter said he was pleased that Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett had already moved to legally protect the historic wrecks of HMAS Sydney and the German raider Kormoran.

Gordon. 6 feet longer, huh? Now Im wondering - using 1/350 scale LCM-3s on a 1/400 scale HMAS Sydney III, will they pass as LCM-6s??
Whats 6 feet in 1/400 scale? Roughly 0.18 of an inch.
Put another way, the LCM3 was 50 feet long 1524cm and the LCM6 was 56.2 feet long roughly 1707cm, a difference of 83cm. Whats 83cm in 1/400 scale? Roughly 0.2cm.
Ill tell people that they are actually LCM-6s ... I think I can get away with that

Already there? Many married men already gay
The Bush White House's plan to push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages suffered a surprising setback today as a new study revealed that well over 70 percent of existing marriages may already be gay.
The study, conducted by Dr. Charles Cranborn of the University of Minnesota, confirmed what many social scientists have long suspected: Within the first five years of marriages, most men become, for all intents and purposes, gay.
"Soon after marrying, most men stop hitting on women and start shopping for furniture," Dr. Cranborn said. "Scientifically speaking, how gay is that?"
Within 10 years of marriage, Dr. Cranborn added, a significant number of married men stop having sex with women altogether.
"There's only one way to describe someone who does not have sex with women, does not hit on women, and spends his free time shopping for furniture," Dr. Cranborn added. "That word, to be scientific about it, is gay."
When news of the University of Minnesota study hit Washington, the White House immediately abandoned its plans for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage for fear of alienating the 70 percent of married voters who are already in a gay marriage "whether they know it or not," to quote Dr. Cranborn.
Instead, the Administration will ask Congress for over $1.2 billion in funds to promote gay divorces.
According to those familiar with the Bush proposal, gay couples who come forward and ask for a divorce will be granted total amnesty, a dividend tax cut, and a major reconstruction project in Iraq.

Renting a car at Indianapolis International Airport is fairly simple, since everything you need in order to pick your car up is conveniently located in the airport.
Deciding on what kind of car you want to rent should usually be done ahead of time, in order to make sure that the car of your choice is in the parking lot waiting for you once you get off of your flight. This can be done either on the phone, with a customer service representative, or on the website.
The place in Indianapolis International Airport where you would find any rental car, or the counter for all rental car companies, is called the Ground Transportation Center. This can be found by going to the first floor of the parking garage right next to the terminal, accessed via the pedestrian bridge over Cook Memorial Drive. This means there are no shuttles you have to take in order to get to where your rental car is parked. Check in for rental car customers should not take more than 15 minutes, meaning you can get in your car relatively quickly once you land.
Dropping off your rental car can also be done at the Ground Transportation Center, allowing you to quickly get from your rental, to the terminal.
If you have any questions or concerns, we have people available to help you 24 hours a day. Feel free to give us a call whenever you need to so that we can help to keep you on schedule. We understand that making sure you have the right rental car is important for any sort of trip, whether it is for business, personal reasons, or leisure. Whatever we can do to help make your travel easier, we will gladly do for our customers.
