Dublin Moves to Block Controversial Tax Gambit
Irish Government Targets a Maneuver That Apple, Other Companies Use to Minimize Taxes
The Irish government is targeting a maneuver that Apple Inc. AAPL 0.85 % and other companies have used to minimize taxes—a move aimed at countering international criticism but one that some accounting experts say may have little effect on what companies actually pay.
Ireland, whose low corporate income-tax rate figures in many big companies' tax strategies, plans to change rules that businesses use to become "stateless" for tax purposes, the finance ministry said.
Finance Minister Michael Noonan said the change would affect Apple and a small number of other companies with Irish operations that aren't paying income tax on some earnings. He said Ireland's tax law had come under international scrutiny, and the country didn't want to damage its ability to attract foreign investment.
With few details available, it wasn't clear how much the change might affect companies' tax strategies. Joe Tynan, an international tax partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Dublin, said that he expected the businesses affected to quickly alter their so-called stateless international tax structures, meaning businesses that have no home registered anywhere in the world for purposes of paying corporation tax.
Earlier this year, U.S., lawmakers grilled Apple over its tax structure after Senate investigators found that the company paid no corporate income tax to any nation on tens of billions of dollars in overseas income over four years. Irish-based Apple units escaped U.S. taxation because they weren't headquartered in the U.S., while Ireland didn't tax them because they were managed from another country, the U.S.
Apple didn't dispute the Senate investigators' finding but said it hadn't set up its operations to avoid taxes. Apple employs 4,000 people in Ireland and said in Senate testimony that its Irish entities play an important role in its international business. Apple has said it is the biggest taxpayer in the U.S., paying $6 billion last year, and that it pays local taxes on overseas earnings and U.S. taxes on investment income.
Countries including France and Germany have long complained that Ireland's corporate income-tax rate—at 12.5% is among the lowest in Europe—is unfair because it draws businesses away from other countries. Ireland's finance ministry on Tuesday said it would stick with the 12.5% rate. The top U.S. rate is 35%.
The proposed Irish tax change was developed in consultation with affected companies and would take effect in January 2015 if passed. "They have told us that if we give them 15 months to set their house in order that they will do so," Mr. Noonan said. He said he didn't expect any to leave Ireland because of it. Anna Scally, chairwoman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ireland Taxation Group, said the change "should not adversely affect the existing operation of multinational companies in Ireland."
The intricacies of Irish tax law have long proved a beacon to scores of multinational companies. One result is the spectacle of large numbers of foreign-owned businesses being registered at a single Dublin address.
At least 125 U.S. companies have registered several hundred subsidiaries or investment funds at 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, a seven-story building in Dublin's docklands, according to a review of government and corporate records by The Wall Street Journal.
The common thread is the building's primary resident: Matheson, an Irish law firm that specializes in ways companies can use Irish tax law.
The building and its myriad occupants underscore the size of the task faced by revenue-hungry national governments hoping to plug leaks in their tax systems. The issue has engaged not only the U.S. Senate, which held hearings on it in May, but the Group of 20 leading industrialized nations and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The chasm in tax rates between Ireland and other countries is big business for the Matheson law firm. "The number of companies with registered offices at our headquarters is a natural corollary of our leadership in serving international businesses," it said in a written statement.
U.S. companies can take advantage of Irish tax law in a variety of ways. Matheson didn't answer a number of questions about the legal services it provides.
Many U.S. firms have moved their headquarters to Ireland.
Some companies funnel global or regional sales to Irish subsidiaries so profit on the sales is taxed in Ireland instead of in the U.S. so long as it stays abroad. Many technology and drug companies hold intellectual property in Irish subsidiaries, which collect royalties from sales of products based on the patents.
Among U.S. companies with a presence at Matheson's address, Airbnb, Alcoa Inc., AA 1.81 % Beam Inc., Charles Schwab Corp. SCHW 3.10 % , Dell Inc., Honeywell International Inc., HON 0.36 % LinkedIn Corp. LNKD 0.32 % , Oakley Inc. and Yelp Inc. YELP 1.61 % said they adhere to global tax laws and use Matheson to support their operations in Ireland for legal, corporate secretarial, or fund-related services that are legally required. Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Chase declined to comment, while McKesson Corp., AbbVie Inc. and EMC Corp. didn't respond to calls or emails.
Matheson said it serves as "corporate secretary" to some companies. Its lawyers often serve as directors of businesses registered at its address. For instance, Matheson attorney Dualta Counihan has served as a director of at least 274 entities, based on Irish records, while attorney George Brady has served as a director of at least 232 entities.
The two didn't respond to requests for comment. Matheson said that because it isn't possible to incorporate in Ireland without directors in place, "when a client is setting up a new company in Ireland, it is not unusual for a lawyer to act as an initial director of such a company for a short period."
The law firm traces its history to at least 1825. In 1916, its offices were destroyed in the Easter Rising, part of a battle between Irish nationalists and the British.
In 1996 the firm sent a partner to Silicon Valley to tap the nascent technology boom. Some U.S. companies, especially in the tech and drug fields, were already seeking to tap Irish tax law. Matheson won several large clients, and its business took off.
"They were just the first firm—by luck, I think, really," said Leanne Robson, a former Matheson partner. "They chased a new market."
Today, "Ireland is as popular now as it's ever been," said Eric Ryan, a DLA Piper law partner in Palo Alto, Calif., who has worked with Matheson designing tax structures and is a former tax director at Apple.
Matheson moved in 2007 to 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, a modern glass building that has its own smoothie bar and overlooks the Liffey River.
By no means do all U.S. companies with Irish offices have just a mail drop. A large number of U.S. technology, Internet and pharmaceutical operations have built substantial manufacturing and servicing companies in the country, exporting to the rest of the European Union and the U.S.
The Irish government says North American firms employ directly over 100,000 people in Ireland, attracted principally by the country's "transparent" low corporation tax regime and skilled workforce. Ireland has vehemently denied it facilitates in any way tax evasion by international companies, or that it attracts foreign direct investments in any underhanded way.
PepsiCo Inc., PEP 1.17 % which said it has had a concentrate facility in Ireland since 1974 and employs more than 600 people there, moved its concentrate headquarters to Cork from New York state in 2007. Now, its Concentrate Manufacturing Company of Ireland ships ingredients to more than 100 countries.
That unit, with registered offices at the Matheson building, is in turn owned by two PepsiCo subsidiaries in Bermuda, called CMC Investment Co. and Pepsi-Cola (Bermuda) Ltd.
In Irish law, companies are taxed where they are managed. So if the board meetings for a company's Irish subsidiary take place in Bermuda, the Irish subsidiary is considered taxable only in Bermuda. Bermuda's corporate income-tax rate is zero.
PepsiCo said Matheson "provides legal counsel on matters pertaining to our business in Ireland" but declined to comment on the taxes it pays in different jurisdictions. A spokesman said PepsiCo complies with the tax laws wherever it does business and pays the tax obligations in full.
The parent company, based in Purchase, N.Y., reported a global effective tax rate for 2012 of 25.2%, below the top U.S. rate, thanks to what its regulatory filings called "tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate."
While many countries tax only profits earned within their borders, the U.S. claims tax on U.S. companies' profits no matter where earned, when these profits are brought back to the U.S. One result is that much overseas profit stays abroad.
PepsiCo holds about 90% of its $7.8 billion of cash in its foreign subsidiaries. It has permanently invested abroad about $32.2 billion of foreign earnings that it doesn't intend to bring back to the U.S., according to filings with U.S. securities regulators.
The Obama administration and the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Michigan Republican Dave Camp, have separately proposed measures that would tax certain earnings in overseas subsidiaries even if the money isn't brought home. This common ground could become a part of a new deficit-reduction package under consideration by both political parties as they look for ways to rewrite the tax code.
John Chase, a tax partner at the Palo Alto office of law firm Dorsey & Whitney, said criticism by lawmakers can actually generate renewed interest in minimizing taxes.
"The fact that Apple Inc., Google and Microsoft MSFT 0.31 % have these structures and so easily and so aggressively defend them, it can't help but kind of legitimize them," Mr. Chase said. "At the end of the day, these aren't tax shelters, and they aren't abusive."
Some U.S. companies that share an address with each other in Ireland also share one in Bermuda. PepsiCo, Google Inc., Microsoft Inc. and Abbott Laboratories also have units at 2 Church Street in Hamilton, Bermuda, a building called Clarendon House.
That is also is home to a law firm that advises clients on tax, patent, and intellectual-property law, called Conyers, Dill & Pearman. PepsiCo has listed the law firm as a legal representative on U.S. filings. A co-chairman of the Bermuda firm, Narinder Hargun, said he couldn't comment on client matters. Matheson said it had no relationship with the firm.
Microsoft, Google and Abbott all said they comply with global tax laws.
The number of companies with units at the Matheson address on Sir John Rogerson's Quay keeps growing. In the past two years, according to records with Ireland's Companies Registration Office, at least 70 companies and funds, largely U.S., have signed up.
The result is that companies as diverse as Eaton Corp. ETN 3.02 % , a century-old industrial giant with roots in Cleveland, and Actavis Inc., a drug maker managed out of Parsippany, N.J., share a legal headquarters.
Eaton last year acquired another industrial company that was in Cleveland even longer, 180-year-old Cooper Industries. Cooper became an Irish company in 2009. When Eaton acquired Cooper, Eaton changed its own domicile to Ireland.
Eaton now uses the Matheson building's address as its own. It plans to move to other Irish quarters after renovations on them. "This new location will be our permanent registered address," a spokesman said.
As for Actavis—until recently called Watson Pharmaceuticals—it relocated its headquarters to Ireland earlier this month as part of an acquisition of another pharmaceutical firm, Warner Chilcott. The acquired firm's headquarters are in Dublin, though its executives are mostly in Rockaway, N.J.
Actavis, which said it uses the Matheson building's address for official correspondence, said both it and its recent acquisition maintain a "significant presence in Ireland." Both have manufacturing facilities in Northern Ireland, said Actavis, and Actavis also operates in Cork.
The chief executives of both Eaton and Actavis extolled the tax benefits when announcing their recent Irish-based acquisitions. Actavis said its effective tax rate would drop to 17% from 28% as a result of its deal. Eaton said it expects to be saving $160 million a year in taxes by 2016.
The headquarters shifts have involved minimal operational changes. Eaton's top management will stay in Cleveland. Actavis executives will remain in Parsippany, N.J.
"Everybody loves New Jersey too much, so nobody is willing to go," Actavis CEO Paul Bisaro said in a conference call in May.

This Old Man
He worked for thirty years with
Two strong hands, in the factory light his
Lunch box held all his needs with
Coffee sandwiches and dreams
For Me
This Old Man
He taught me many times
To undertand, that showing love is simply
Nothing you should have o hide
Don't keep your feelings locked inside
He said
When I was young
I dreamed a young man's dreams
I saw in you reyes
The things I'd never seen
But now I grow old
But I don't really mind
Cause can't you see with my family
We'll share these timeless memories

Publisher's Description
edited by Anne E. Streaty Wimberly
A guide for pastors, church leaders, and all who help African Americans in their search for a meaningful Christian lifestyle.
Forming Christians--leading fallen and flawed human beings into the path of discipleship to a crucified and risen Lord--is one of the central, if not the central, tasks of all Christian churches. It is a difficult enough task anywhere, but for African Americans, beset by racial conflict, personal crises, generational separation, and other concerns, it is especially so. African American churches must work particularly hard to counter the messages their members receive from the dominant and often unfriendly culture.
This book employs the biblical text and African tradition to draw on the idea of the search for wisdom as a potent way to help African Americans in their pursuit of genuine Christian discipleship. Wisdom in African American tradition is not simply knowledge; rather, it is those insights, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors,and practices that create and sustain a life of hope and that produce an inherent sense of the worth of one's self. If their members are to engage in the search for wisdom, African American churches must build an intentional ministry of faith formation. Wisdom can be gained, the authors argue, when African Americans listen to the black oral tradition with its proverbial sayings, revered Bible stories, songs, and narratives from the lives of exemplary individuals. The book offers several similar avenues for the search for wisdom, including helpful models of black males mentoring younger black males, as a remedy to the destructive effects that contemporary culture has on this segment of the African American community.

But many view children's literature as beneath them. If it's not for 'grownups', it's not worthwhile. But, wait, here's a sneaky little problem: what about all the 'grownups' who read and enjoy Rowling's work and other children's books? Shouldn't we explore why these works appeals to adults who are apparently supposed to know better?
Sorcery now features a whole knew graphical style. This new style is very welcomed with the characters looking better, the enemies being more menacing and environments fit the world perfectly. I really don't see anyone saying they miss the original style.
When Bond created Paddington in 1958 he was an innocent mirror on Britain of the time. The Paddington of 2012 would be an altogether different affair. Would he make it past Heathrow customs without a issuing a hard stare or two? How would he cope with three-fruit marmalade?
Imagine if that first Harry Potter manuscript had fallen into the hands of the wrong reader when it was sent to Bloomsbury - we might never have heard of Harry or J.K and the world of children's literature might be very different today.
When the conversation turns to favourite books, those people around me who like to affect a public disdain for all things Harry Potter always seem to assume I'm one of them, when the truth is I rather like the idea of Harry and Hogwarts (and especially Snape) and I love the fact that so many people seem to truly love the series.
Having been to the Harry Potter Studio Tour at Leavesden, I now know exactly what went in to making the movies (spoiler alert: it's a lot!), and I am incredibly impressed. That said, I'm still all about an eventual remake putting a fresh spin on the story!

There was a bit of debate on Twitter this week, sparked by an article on Parentdish, about whether or not we should read our troopers the 'classics'.
Literature and art more generally, must in some way draw upon the historic in order to gain sustenance. And in a paradoxical way, children's literature is more capable of this than most.
It's my son's birthday soon... Amongst other things*, he's asked for the Harry Potter DVD box set. It's his 11th birthday - the very age when Harry Potter discovers that he is a wizard. I hope my son turns out to be a wizard too then maybe I won't have to go shopping anymore. He can just wave a twiggy stick about shouting "DVDidius Box Settiosa" and it will appear. Job done.
There's been plenty of talk about the state of the British film industry lately - calls for more King's Speeches, more commercially viable movie product that will generate money and is worth investing in in the first place. What the bigwigs fail to understand is how frail the infrastructure of the homegrown industry is.

Claressa Shields (born March 17, 1995)[2] is an American boxer.
She won the gold in Women's Middleweight Boxing at the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Olympics, which made her the first American boxer, male or female, to win an Olympic title twice in a row.[7]
She was the youngest boxer at the February 2012 U.S. Olympic trials, where she won the 165-pound weight class.[8][9] In May 2012, Shields qualified to compete at the 2012 Olympics, the first year that women's boxing was an Olympic event.[10] At the London Olympic games in August 2012, she became the first U.S. woman to win a boxing[11] gold medal. She won the 2012 Olympic middleweight title by defeating Russian boxer Nadezda Torlopova and the 2016 title by defeating Dutch boxer Nouchka Fontijn.
Shields was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, where she was a high school junior in May 2012.[1][8] She was introduced to boxing by her father, Bo Shields, who had boxed in underground leagues.[8][12] Bo was in prison from the time Shields was two years old, and released when she was nine. After his release he talked to her about boxer Laila Ali, piquing her interest in the sport, although Bo nevertheless believed that boxing was a men's sport and refused to allow Shields to pursue it until she was eleven.[8][12][13] At that time she began boxing at Berston Field House in Flint, where she met her coach and trainer, Jason Crutchfield.[12] Shields credits her grandmother with encouraging her to not accept restrictions based on her gender.[8]
After winning two Junior Olympic championships Shields competed in her first open-division tournament, the National Police Athletic League Championships 2011; she won the middleweight title and was named top overall fighter as well as qualifying for the U.S. Olympic trials.[2][14] At the trials in she defeated the reigning national champion, Franchon Crews, the 2010 world champion, Andrecia Wasson, and Pittsburgh's Tika Hemingway to win the middleweight class.[2][8] In April 2011, she won her weight class at the Women's Elite Continental Championships in Cornwall, Ontario against three-time defending world champion Mary Spencer of Canada; she held an undefeated record of 25 wins and 0 losses at that point.[8][12][15]
Following Shields' victory at the U.S. Olympic trials, it was initially reported that she would need only a top-8 finish at the 2012 AIBA Women's World Boxing Championships in Qinhuangdao, China, in order to qualify for the 2012 Olympics.[9] On May 10, the day after the contest began but before Shields' first bout, a change to the rules was announced that meant Shields would need to place in the top two from the (North, Central, and South) American Boxing Confederation region of AIBA (AMBC).[16] Shields won her first round, but suffered an upset loss in the second round on May 13 to Savannah Marshall of England, bringing Shields' record to 26-1.[4] Her chances for qualification thus depended on Marshall's subsequent performance; after Marshall advanced to the middleweight finals on May 18, it was announced that Shields had earned an Olympic berth. She won a gold medal in the end, after beating Russian boxer Nadezda Torlopova 19–12.[10][17]
In 2014, Shields won the World Championships.[18]
In 2015, Shields became the first American to win titles in women's boxing at the Olympics and Pan American games.[19]
In 2016, Shields won gold at the 2016 AMBC Olympic Qualifying tournament in Argentina.[20]
She won the gold at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics by defeating Nouchka Fontijn of the Netherlands, the only American gold medalist in the team, and awarded the inaugural women's division of the Val Barker Trophy at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.[21]
Personal life[edit]
Shields attempted to adopt her cousin's daughter in 2014.[22]
Shields is the subject of 2015 documentary "T-Rex: Her Fight for Gold."[23][24] In 2016 Universal Pictures, a division of Comcast, which holds Olympic broadcast rights in the United States, acquired the rights to produce a film about her life story.[25]
Shields will be acting in the Susan Seidelman-directed film Punch Me.[26]

Anglo Says Codelco Placed $400 Million Value on Land
Anglo American Plc said Codelco placed a value of about $400 million on undeveloped land it will transfer from its Sur unit to the Chilean state-owned company as part of a deal to settle claims.
Anglo placed nominal commercial value on the mining tenements, Peter Whitcutt, group director of strategy and business development, said on a conference call with reporters today. Anglo will pay $318 million in tax on the overall deal announced today, spokesman James Wyatt-Tilby said by phone.

The present invention pertains to a rotary compressor for respiration systems. Such respiration systems are used mainly in the area of medicine, where closed respiration systems with rebreathing are used for various reasons.
A known field of application in the area of medicine is, in particular, the area of anesthesia, where the circulation of the expired gases and of the newly added gases, e.g., oxygen, is desirable, e.g., in the case of narcotic anesthetics. A rotary compressor for respiration systems, which is particularly suitable because of its properties for rapidly following the spontaneous breathing of the respirated patient, has become known from U.S. Ser. No. 08/965,256. However, such rotary compressors have not yet been able to be sterilized and are therefore unsuitable for use as a gas delivery means in respiration systems with rebreathing in a closed circuit. Furthermore, the separation between the electric components and the breathing gas with increased oxygen concentration is not yet sufficient, so that the oxygen additionally added can be added only in the open respiration system and only behind the rotary compressor and it must therefore be metered dynamically.
The primary object of the present invention is to propose an improved rotary compressor for respiration systems, which can be washed and sterilized, on the one hand, and makes possible a reliable separation of the breathing gas from the electric components, on the other hand.
According to the invention, a rotary compressor for respiration systems is provided with an electrically driven compressor wheel, which is mounted by means of an aerodynamic gas slide bearing.
The gas slide bearing includes axially and radially loaded surfaces. The axially loaded surface of the said compressor wheel may have grooves. The axially loaded, nonmoving housing surface may have grooves. Axial opposite bearing surface of the said compressor wheel may also have grooves. The nonmoving housing surface of the axial thrust bearing may also have grooves. The radially loaded surface of the compressor wheel and/or the radially loaded surface of the thrust bearing of the compressor wheel may have grooves. These grooves may be designed in the form of logarithmic spirals.
The rotation of the compressor wheel may be brought about by the cooperation of a permanent magnet physically connected to the compressor wheel adjacent to the axis of rotation with a magnetic field, which rotates around the axis of rotation and is generated by coils in the radial thrust bearing.
The compressed gas is preferably fed in, in parallel to the said axis of rotation of the said compressor wheel. The compressed gas leaves the compressor wheel at right angles to the axis of rotation.
The compressor may be a radial compressor or side channel compressor.
A method is also provided with a drive for breathing gases transported in closed circuit in a respiration system.
One essential advantage of the present invention arises from the use of the breathing gas itself as a lubricant between the sliding surfaces moving in relation to one another, so that the slide bearing is completely maintenance-free. Due to the design of the aerodynamic gas slide bearing, the rotor and the stator are separated from one another in a completely wear-free manner, and the generation of noise is additionally particularly low compared with prior-art rotary compressors, which is caused by a corresponding stress on the usual rolling bearings because of the relatively high speed of rotation.
In addition, the simple design of the rotary compressor according to the present invention makes it possible to remove, clean, sterilize and reinstall the components through which breathing gases flow during field use, so that use in a respiration system with breathing gases transported in a closed circuit becomes possible in a safe, hygienic and convenient manner.
The various features of novelty which characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and specific objects attained by its uses, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which a preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a sectional view taken through a rotary compressor according to the present invention, wherein the gaps between parts moving in relation to one another are shown as exaggeratedly wide for illustration; and
FIG. 2A is a three-dimensional top view of a compressor wheel according to the invention;
FIG. 2B is a three-dimensional bottom view of the compressor wheel according to the invention;
FIG. 2C is a three-dimensional top view of the compressor wheel and the axially opposite bearing surface; and
FIG. 2D is a three-dimensional bottom view of the compressor wheel and the axially opposite bearing surface.
Referring to the drawings in particular, the rotary compressor 1 according to the present invention, which is shown in a sectional view in FIG. 1 (schematic representation), is driven by means of a brushless, electronically commuted or commutated d.c. motor. The rotor of the d.c. motor is a diametrically magnetized permanent magnet 2, and the stator 3 consists of three coil pairs, one pair of which is shown in a sectional view. The coil pairs are arranged symmetrically to one another at an angle of 120° around the axis of rotation 4, so that the field vector of the coil magnetic field can be rotated around the axis of rotation 4 and thus around the rotor designed as a permanent magnet 2.
The position of the permanent magnet 2 is preferably detected by means of Hall sensors or, during the rotation, by voltages induced in the coils. As a result, the permanent magnet 2, used as the rotor, rotates with the physically connected compressor wheel 5, if current is cyclically applied to the individual coils one after another. The cyclic application of current as a function of the position of the rotor, i.e., the commutation, takes place without wear via semiconductor switching elements, likewise not shown. The rotary compressor 1 is a radial compressor in the exemplary embodiment, but other rotary compressors may also be designed according to the present invention, especially side channel compressors and peripheral compressors.
The compressor wheel 5 connected to the permanent magnet 2 rotates around the axis of rotation 4 by means of the drive explained in the housing 6. The vacuum generated in the intake pipe 7 by the rotation of the compressor wheel 5 causes the transportation of the breathing gas in parallel to the axis of rotation 4 toward the compressor wheel 5, as is indicated by the arrows. The breathing gas is compressed by means of the curved blades 21 shown in FIG. 2, and it finally leaves the compressor wheel 5 at right angles to the axis of rotation 4 via the pressure pipe 8 and flows back into the respiration system 14.
The essence of the present invention is that a completely maintenance-free and practically wear-free mounting of the electrically driven compressor wheel 5 is made available. The breathing self assumes the function of the lubricant for this purpose, i.e., the rotating compressor wheel 5 with the physically connected permanent magnet 2 is mounted by means of an aerodynamic gas slide bearing. Due to the provision of a lubricating wedge in the can 9 arranged in the magnetic gap between the permanent magnet 2 (rotor) and the stator 3, these are separated from one another in a completely wear-free manner, and there is only gas friction between them.
The difference in diameter between the stator 3 and the permanent magnet 2 (rotor) is sufficient, in principle, for forming the lubricating wedge for these radially loaded surfaces of the plain bearing designed as a gas slide bearing. However, it has been found that the provision of additional grooves also in the plain bearing increases the load-bearing capacity and the stability. It was surprisingly found in the case of the axially loaded surfaces 10 and 11 (nonmoving housing surface) of the compressor wheel 5 and the opposite wall of the housing 6 that floating with good load-bearing capacity takes place even at a low speed of rotation if the axially loaded surfaces 10 or 11 are designed in the form of grooves 22, as is shown in FIG. 2C for the underside of the compressor wheel (axially loaded surface 10) and FIG. 2D for the axial opposite bearing surface 12 of the compressor wheel 5. For a small radial compressor, the transition between mixed friction and pure gas friction was found at about 190 rpm. The radial compressor was able to be operated without problems above this speed, so that use is practically always possible in the wear-free range of gas friction. In the example shown, the compressor wheel 5 had a diameter of 50 mm and a vertical axis of rotation 4, so that the weight must be supported by a thrust bearing. The axial gas slide bearing is a slide bearing provided with spiral grooves with an external diameter of about 40 mm and an internal diameter of about 20 mm in the example (see FIG. 2), and about 10 to 15 grooves 22 are present, which have a depth of about 25 to 30 μm and a logarithmic shape, i.e., the grooves 22 form logarithmic spirals with an angle of about 10° to the tangent. The width of the grooves 22 is about 4 to 6 mm.
The axial opposite bearing surface 12 of the compressor wheel 5 preferably also has grooves 22; as an alternative or in addition to this, the nonmoving housing surface 13 of the axial thrust bearing also has grooves 22. As a result, the compressor wheel 5 is prevented from mechanically loading the nonmoving housing surface 13 by friction during the rotation in the case of the vertical axis of rotation 4 shown.
The radial sealing brought about by the can 9 must be able to be magnetically fluxed and must not be electrically conductive, so that no eddy currents are generated. Ceramic and/or plastics are preferred materials. The present invention has led to an electrically driven rotary compressor 1, which is particularly suitable for use in respiration systems with rebreathing and recirculating the breathing gases, because no wearing parts are used, so that the life is practically unlimited. One essential advantage is that the drive element, namely, the compressor wheel 5, can be removed without problems and it can thus be washed and sterilized. In addition, the can 9 between the stator 3 and the rotor (permanent magnet 2) guarantees a hermetic separation between the breathing gas being transported with increased oxygen concentration and the live electric components of the drive, through which current flows.
While a specific embodiment of the invention has been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.

Very easy to make, but it didn't have a lot of flavor. Maybe adding some nutmeg and cinnamon or almond extract would help. Also, it was VERY flat. Perhaps making it in a 9" square pan would have made it more cake-like. Just sayin.....
Very good and easy!

We believe it will reduce negative campaigning (...) because candidates will need to appeal to a broader range of voters for first- and second-choice rankings to build a majority of support.
Ranked-choice voting also helps create a richer and, hopefully, more civil dialogue on the issues and increases the diversity of views available for voters to consider by allowing candidates from outside the two major parties to compete.

Children's Hospital Boston and Pfizer entered a collaboration aimed at identifying therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The one-year collaborative research agreement focuses on the work of the laboratory of Louis Kunkel, Ph.D., director of the program in genomics at Children's Hospital Boston and discoverer of the dystrophin gene that underlies the biology of DMD.
In March 2011, Dr. Kunkel and colleagues announced the results of their efforts to screen 1,200 chemicals already approved for human use in a zebrafish model of DMD for any that might have a restorative effect on muscle tissue. Dr. Kunkel's team found that several had the desired effect in the zebrafish model, including compounds owned by Pfizer.
With today's agreement, Pfizer will provide Dr. Kunkel access to select proprietary compounds as well as relevant data about these compounds. Pfizer is also committing internal resources to the project, such as medicinal chemistry.
In collaboration with Pfizer's Carl Morris, Ph.D., Dr. Kunkel's laboratory will test the compounds provided by Pfizer in the DMD zebrafish model, with an eye toward identifying candidates for further preclinical development.
"This agreement brings together the best of two worlds, namely Pfizer's ability to develop promising new compounds and our ability to test them in physiologically relevant models," Dr. Kunkel notes. "Here at Children's, we have the expertise in basic science and clinical care but not the crucial chemical and development background that Pfizer has brought to the table."

Letter from your International Student Services Team
From left to right: Amy Mabery, Exchange Student Advisor; Tiffany Campbell, Programming Coordinator; Jen Fernandez-Villa, Degree Student Advisor.
Are you ready for the new adventure of UNCW?
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by a big opportunity that you know you should be excited about? Last semester, I felt the same way about a two-week business trip I took to the Netherlands and Germany. I was excited about the trip, but I was also overwhelmed about the important work I'd miss (such as admitting new exchange students, registering students for classes, etc.). So what did I do? I asked for help!
My colleagues, Tiffany Campbell and Jen Fernandez-Villa (photos above), helped with my advising responsibilities while I was gone. Thanks to their help, I was able to be excited instead of stressed about my adventure!
In many ways, Jen, Tiffany, and I are providing you with the same type of support, so you can be excited rather than stressed as you prepare to study abroad at UNCW. We've broken down the things you need to know and do before you arrive into a clear step-by-step calendar with links (see the navigation on the right). We've also provided you with a fillable pre-arrival checklist to mark off tasks as you complete them.
So what happens when you've read through all this material but still can't find the answers? That is when you email me (Amy Mabery), and I'll be happy to help you as best I can.
Amy Mabery

There's a perfectly scientific explanation for what just happened. That ain't the tune you was singin' back at the gallows! Well, any human being'll cast about in a moment of stress. No, the fact is, they're flooding this valley so they can hydroelectric up the whole darn state. Yes, sir, the South is gonna change. Everything's gonna be put on electricity and run on a payin' basis. Out with the old spiritual mumbo-jumbo, the superstitions and the backward ways. We gonna see a brave new world where they run everybody a wire and hook us up to a grid. Yes, sir, a veritable age of reason. Like the one they had in France. Not a moment too soon.

I'm a little late getting around to sharing this, but here's another great essay from Schneier on unrealistic fear-based reactions. Given last night's awesomely successful landing of the MSL Curiosity, I'd like to offer a corollary: let's make sure to give rare risks with positive goals and outcomes their due. I hope Curiosity discovers all kinds of great stuff, but any future success or failure it has shouldn't change our desire or resolve to continue pushing these boundaries and reaching further than before. Let's not be afraid to fail, and fail spectacularly, again and again, in search of the next perfect landing.

ANicholas Stoller's new film 'Neighbors' is hilarious and scathingly filthy, and because it doesn't stick to a cookie cutter narrative, it makes debauchery seem fresh and funny.
n/a"Neighbors" partied hard at the box office on Friday, earning a huge $19.6 million and unseating "Amazing Spider-Man 2" from the top spot.

Is Andrea Bargnani the new Steve Novak?
Is Andrea Bargnani the new Steve Novak for the New York Knicks?
When the Knicks traded for Andrea Bargnani, a lot of us cocked our heads. It didn't make much sense, to be perfectly honest. A non-defender, non-rebounding big man that focuses on offense and wants to stretch the floor but has struggled with his shot? Is there anything that is less of what they need?
Our offseason report was pretty much one big head-scratch. It's not necessarily bad. It's just weird.
So trying to figure out how Bargnani will fit in is kind of difficult. Knicks blog Posting and Toasting took a swing at it and the idea is something we've touched on, but it's still kind of interesting to explore.
And that's the Novak problem, in a nutshell. The inherent spacing value his shooting brings is undermined by his inability to capitalize on overzealous closeouts. Defenses know this, and actively run him off the three-point line with full sprint closeouts and without consequence. And because they're running at top speed, they can stretch their coverage distance. The result is more help on the strong side, reducing the threat of a, say, Carmelo Anthony drive. Novak's essential spacing purpose is rendered moot.
Enter Andrea Bargnani. Say what you will about his offensive repertoire, but at the very least he's fully capable of punishing defenders who rush towards him too quickly.
Because he's more than a spot-up shooter, defenders play him differently -- or at least treat him as a viable threat in other offensive functions besides standstill shooting. That's what Louis Scola does here, trying (and failing) to close out with choppy steps to prevent a drive.
And the benefit of this defensive technique is two-fold: First, that Bargnani -- should he receive the ball on a swing or kick out -- will actually have room to shoot, with defenders closing out more cautiously. And second, that Bargnani can actually, well, drive the ball to the basket and make something happen.
via KnicksTape: What can Andrea Bargnani bring to the table? - Posting and Toasting.
Novak essentially had to be removed from the equation for the Knicks in the playoffs, playing just 5.6 minutes per game due to his defensive liabilities once it was clear teams had figured out how to scheme him on the other end.
But is $23 million over two years too much for a Steve Novak upgrade? Sounds obvious, right?
Except that if you're a title contender without any sort of concern for price, you overpay for role players. The Clippers have shelled out money over the past three years to get Chris Paul weapons to use. The Heat have tossed whatever they can scrape together to get shooters and defenders. You're not looking for major upgrades if you're already a title contender. You want to find that component that makes the engine just the extra little bit faster and more efficient enough to win the title.
This is about as close as I think I'm going to get to "Why the Knickst traded for Andrea Bargnani without going to "they thought his hair looked good" or waiting for him to become an All-Star this season.

Aside from your content, your site's navigation is probably the most important component of any site you'll build, so it's only natural that you're going to want to focus on learning navigation early in the process of learning web design. However, before we begin, I think it's important to discuss what you should know before going through these exercises. As I assume a certain level of knowledge of certain terms and concepts. First, make sure that you have a basic working knowledge of HTML. Although I do discuss properly structuring navigation, this course focuses on CSS, not HTML.
So if you're brand new to web design, you will want to check out some of the introductory HTML courses that lynda.com has to offer first. I'll also go right into authoring the CSS, so a basic working knowledge of CSS, its syntax, and basic properties are recommended prior to watching this course. If you haven't worked with CSS before, I recommend starting with my CSS Fundamentals, CSS Core Concepts, and CSS Page Layout courses before tackling this one. Those courses are designed specifically for new web designers and many of the techniques and terminology that are used in this course are covered there.

Dr. Susan Delgalvis has inspired, encouraged, accepted and allowed me to do whatever was deemed necessary in the improvement of my health situation. I never would have done as well with any other physician as she's been more than excellent in maintaining my health and actually keeping me alive for the last six years. She's allowed me to explore any alternative options and has always allowed me my freedom to "be a free-spirit." Over all, she gave me back my life emotionally, mentally, and physically. She's an exceptional doctor and I'll always have a special place in my heart and a wonderful admiration and appreciation for her...and also Kye, my beastly friend, feels the same way as I do. Thank you for being the best, for being more than an excellent doctor and for always being there for me. Thank you for allowing me to have a choice in my exploration, and providing the best treatment for my current situation. Thank you for your support and for your assistance and thank you for allowing me fun, laughter and to some extent danger in my pursuits when improving and enjoying my health and life. Thank you for giving me over 100% quality. You're the best, always.

This week's Your Take will be a little different, it's going to be a poll (though you are still welcome to leave comments!).
A few weeks ago I talked about the FICO score credit range [3]. In that post, I referenced a statistic published by FICO that said 58% of all FICO credit scores were above 750. Here's the chart of score distribution:
I've always believed that readers of personal finance blogs are, by definition, savvier about personal finance than the average bloke on the street. Since a personal finance reader is more interested in personal finance, it stands to reason that they would have a better handle on their finances. So, the question I pose to you today will in fact be the first poll in Bargaineering.com history:
If you don't know your FICO credit score, you can use myFICO ScoreWatch [4] (myFICO ScoreWatch review) or one of these free FICO credit score [5] trials to find out what it is. If you don't want to deal with the trials, you can always try one of these FICO credit score estimators [6] too (My vote goes to Credit Karma [4] because it's free).
Whatever you use, I'm curious to see how our distribution looks compared to the "national average."
