Stocks that sell at the deepest discounts below accounting values of their equity (the lowest price-to-book ratios) have enjoyed higher returns than stocks that sell at the highest price-to-book ratios. On the basis of overwhelming empirical evidence, the price-to-book ratio is a useful starting point for long-term value investing.
However, stocks with low price-to-book multiples are vulnerable to tremendous risks. Many of these stocks are on the verge of bankruptcy or are in terrible industries. Since the price-to-book ratio has been connected to long-term returns, is there a long-term measure of risk we can use? Are there methods that can protect us from value traps?
Two techniques can aid low-price-to-book investors: the use of long-dated call options (LEAPs) to take long positions, reducing the money risked in an individual investment; and the use of the Altman Z-score* to assess the threat of a company going bankrupt.
Altman's Z-score was recently (using the most recent quarterly financial data) calculated for stocks with low P/B values which also have Jan. 13 call options:
Low P/B Companies with Jan. 13 Call Options | ||||
Ticker | Company | P/B | Altman Z-Score | Financial Statement Date |
(AOL) | AOL, Inc. | 0.67 | 2.26 | 30-Jun-11 |
(COCO) | Corinthian Colleges Inc. | 0.29 | 2.13 | 30-Jun-11 |
(MU) | Micron Technology Inc. | 0.64 | 7.35 | 2-Jun-11 |
(BG) | Bunge Limited | 0.7 | 3.21 | 30-Jun-11 |
(CSC) | Computer Sciences Corp. | 0.57 | 2.30 | 1-Jul-11 |
(NRG) | NRG Energy, Inc. | 0.66 | 0.91 | 30-Jun-11 |
Value investors should consider buying long-dated calls in Micron Technology Inc. or Bunge Limited. Both firms are categorized as "safe" by the Altman Z-score, have long dated call options, and sell at a low price-to-book multiple.
Consider Micron. It sells at $5.50 per share and has a book value of about $8.50 per share. An investor could buy a Jan. 2013 call with a strike price of $2.50 for a cost of $3.40. This allows an investor to have a long position on $6.00 ($8.50 book minus the $2.50 strike) in book value for $3.40, which is a deeper price-to-book ratio of 0.57.
An investor could create a position with a deeper discount by selling a Jan. 13 call with a strike price of $7.50 cents for $0.96. This would sacrifice about a dollar of book value to reduce the cost of the position. ($8.50 is $1.00 above the $7.50 strike price). The overall position would be a call spread which cost $2.44 ($3.50-$0.96) for a book value of $5.00 (the difference of the strike prices), an even deeper price-to-book ratio of 0.29.
A call spread using Jan. 13 expiration calls can also be used to intensify the price-to-book discount for Bunge. BG shares trade for $63.16 and have a book value of about $90 per share. An investor can purchase a $65 strike call for $8.60 and sell a $90 strike call for $1.70. The resulting position would cost $6.90 for $25 in book value, a price-to-book multiple of 0.276.
*One useful predictor of bankruptcy is the Altman Z-Score. This score places companies into three groups: "safe" (Z-score > 2.99), "grey" (Z-score between 2.99 and 1.81), and "distressed" (Z-score < 1.81). Stocks falling into these groupings have historically experience different rates of bankruptcy in the coming year. Note that "distressed" was a label coined by researchers, and should not be taken to mean that any company is bankrupt or in default on the basis of this calculation alone. Credit scoring is not fate, only prediction based on relative past performance of companies grouped by key variables. Time will tell.
Beyond credit risk prediction, companies with higher Z-scores have been shown to outperform companies with lower Z-scores, in aggregate. One sector has not been accurately modeled: Altman's Z-score has not accurately predicted the bankruptcy risk of financial companies.
This method of segmenting companies uses fundamental (financial statement) data and market capitalization only. Volatility has be incorporated into a credit scoring model to improve accuracy, but this would reduce the value of a fundamentals-only model for indicating companies for option strategies.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Stop posting stuff about Kardashian!! If there are zero comments she will have to write about something else. Don't you see you're being used.You guys are all so silly. How can you possibly judge her voice with all the noise pollution. It is really sad when masses of people can't wait to gripe on someone. So what she is famous for doing a little more than nothing, but all of you are feeding into this by making all your stupid comments, giving her higher ratings and more money. Stop wasting your energy or she will not go away.

I'm a rancher, not a politician.
Rural Arizona faces some real challenges, and more regulations and government mandates are not the answer. I am running for reelection to the State Senate because our children and grandchildren deserve the same opportunities we've had. As your Senator I am putting my 50 years of experience to work creating economic growth for our community. Joan and I have been married for nearly 40 years and raised our four children in Prescott, and we have been blessed with four grandchildren.
As a lifelong conservative Republican, I will continue to fight for the issues most important to Arizona's families and businesses. That means lower taxes, a balanced budget, protection of water and private property rights, secure borders, road improvements, school choice, and modernized forest management. I am optimistic about our future, but we must have responsible fiscal policies in place to preserve our freedom and allow us to prosper as a community.
I am grateful for the support I have received throughout my first term in office and ask you to continue to support my candidacy and vote for me in the August primary election and the November general election.
All the best,
Steve Pierce

Both Sides Make Final Pitch on Gay Marriage
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Supporters of an effort to put a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage on Iowa's statewide ballot pressed Tuesday for lawmakers to take up the issue before the legislative session ends, but the Senate's Democratic leader said he will block debate on the measure.
Bob Vander Plaats, a former gubernatorial candidate who led the campaign to oust three state Supreme Court judges after their decision to allow gay marriage in 2010, joined other gay marriage opponents at the Statehouse for a Tuesday news conference. They unveiled petitions, signed by about 20,000 people, demanding that lawmakers debate the resolution that would put the constitutional amendment to a vote. The Republican-controlled House has approved the resolution, but it hasn't been brought up in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said he will block debate on the measure during the final month of the session, which is scheduled to end in the middle of April. "I am not going to put discrimination into the state's constitution," Gronstal said. Brian Brown, head of the National Association of Marriage, joined Vander Plaats on Tuesday and said a majority of states have held statewide votes on defining marriage as between one man and one woman. Gay marriage backers also gathered at the Statehouse on Tuesday to counter the arguments. Danny Homan, head of the largest union representing state workers, said he'll continue to push the issue even if it isn't taken up by the Senate this session. "We must work together to fight any attacks on equality," he said. Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.

@brackynews: I'm deeply flattered that after having long gotten tired of the Bobrossfreak username on YouTube myself after coming up with it during my dumb non-sequitur high school humor years that there's still someone out there who likes it. ;D
Pepsiman's forum posts
@fluxwavez: Yeah, I was just mostly interested in hearing whether the character dynamics and whatnot came across naturally with just English knowledge to work off of, which seems to be the case. We translators will always have our differences with each other in terms of how to approach this line or that, just like how people interpret the same passages in literature written natively in their language differently, which is why I'll probably continue to just keep playing these games in Japanese as they come out, but as long as those localizations still make for a good time in and of themselves, that's what matters most.
You are right that there are some aspects of the characterizations that are a bit of a headache from a translation perspective, though. Calling Yamada a "fanfic creator" is an okay interpretation of the Japanese title since the original terms is somewhat nebulous and refers to a subculture that doesn't really exist outside of Japan. I think the original NISA announcement had him pegged as the ultimate otaku, which I honestly think better fits his character overall since his hobbyist authorial stuff doesn't really play that big of a part in defining his character outside the optional socializing bits. And yeah, Celeste is just a strange character to translate in general. The confusion about her nationality plays a lot more naturally in the Japanese version because she speaks in a pretty formal and stilted manner that is possible to replicate to a degree in English, but has to be handled delicately. The name plays a big part in Makoto questioning her nationality, but it's her speech patterns in Japanese that really make her stand out compared to everyone else and make her feel so distant.
Dangan Ronpa's a rough game to translate all around and good on anybody who gives it a shoot because, woof, it is very proactive about being an obtuse game to translate into any other language. It's a great experience in Japanese, but makes it basically miraculous in spots when the game is still just readable in English. Overall I'm just happy that the game is spreading outside Japan. It's always nice when I have more people to talk with about some of the more niche stuff I like when it comes to games.
As someone who just beat the PSP version of Super Dangan Ronpa 2 yesterday, let me tell you, brother: the crazy awesome train only gets started in that first game. Dangan Ronpa 1 is a hell of a game in its own right and, at least in Japanese, has some of the best game writing I've seen in a really long time, but 2 is one of those miraculous games that I feel like manages to improve upon what's already a really great, solid base. Just an even more confident work of prose in a game than even that first one and I hope everyone who isn't me indeed gets to play it in a language they understand sooner rather than later. Those two games combined with the Zero Escape series as a one-two punch have pretty thoroughly convinced me that Spike Chunsoft is definitely a developer worth paying attention to because of their writers alone, let along the unique gameplay mechanics they often manage to sneak in.
That being said, what's your take on the localization? You probably saw my post on GAF about how Dangan Ronpa is a ridiculously difficult game to translate well in a lot of spots because of how playful it is with the Japanese language as a whole, but I'm curious on what people's take on NISA's work is without that background. From what I've been seeing, hit-or-miss voice acting aside, it seems like they might have done a pretty solid job at making it all read and sound pretty natural in English.
I don't have the time to read the reviews to get more concrete details, but on Amazon Japan, both versions have the same user review averages, although the Vita version has more reviews overall. Having played the first game on the PSP, my impression is that the gameplay hasn't been upgraded in such a way that it really warrants touch screen usage, although I'm pretty sure the graphics aren't far and away better on one versus the other for this second game; I recall them having relative parity when Spike Chunsoft was marketing the game. If I have a Vita, I would personally go with that just for a more consistent experience having played that original game on a Sony handheld, but I have it preordered on the 3DS since that's all I have and I'm not too worried.
As it turns out, there were a few more pages of that interview that were missing from my original source, so I went ahead and translated those. They by and large are about the other games that they announced with Persona 5, but Hashino's a pretty chill dude with some interesting answers about the whys and hows a lot of these games exist, so I personally think they're still an interesting read. But I might be a little biased. Anyway, they're attached below, along with a slightly corrected version of the Persona 5 interview, which mostly just consists of removing references to Famitsu because I pulled a dumb dumb on that one. Also kudos to one Naotolan on Tumblr, who very kindly did the image editing work on the last two pages, saving me a good amount of work and freeing me to focus on just translating and typesetting stuff. Duder's a lifesaver! Beyond that, obviously just make sure to open the images in another window to read them. You all probably know that, but you never know.
Enjoy and thanks for all the kind words! It's been super flattering to hear people enjoy my work!
Howdy! I don't like to post my own translation work on forums since it feels like very self-indulging advertising to a degree, so I'm flattered to hear you duders think it's worth discussing. I mentioned it on the Tumblr post, but just for clarification here, too, I bungled the source as being from Famitsu when it was actually the Japanese Persona magazine. Obviously doesn't really change the content of the interview at all, but I figure it doesn't hurt to mention either. I'm also pleased to hear it's apparently readable the way I've inserted the English text back into the magazine. I really like Japanese graphic design in magazines and wanted to preserve that aesthetic as best as possible, but I'm by no means an artist or a decent typesetter, so I wasn't sure how well things have panned out. If any of you have suggestions on font choices and whatnot, I'd love to hear it since I basically have no idea what I'm doing other than "try not to go with Times New Roman/Arial/Comic Sans MS."
Anyway, I think the translation mostly speaks for itself, but if there's any clarification I can provide on what I'd wrote, I'd be happy to elaborate on Hashino's original Japanese answers.
Had a great time with you all and am super glad this thread exists so I can catch up on some of the runs I missed that people have been hyping. Looking forward to doing this with you all come summer! Until then, keep on keeping on with Pac-Swag!
I have my regrets playing this, yet I don't because I got to hook up with the anime hostess of my dreams through lots of talking, drinking, and large amounts of dubiously programmed minigames.
And it was when we were drunkenly doing character together, her signing poorly and me mashing on the bicycle horn button in timing to the music that I realized I had found the digital woman I wanted to spend the rest of my digital life with.
I mean, just look at her. She's festive, she speaks the best Japanese dialect, her favorite drinks are cheap so it's not too expensive to get her drunk, she's basically perfect.
You and everyone else in the western gaming sphere may judge me and perhaps even rightfully so, but I found happiness and it found me, too, and nobody can ever hope to take that away from me.
@dochaus: Yeah, I definitely know they have technical issues facing them as well. At some level I know I'm being a privileged idealist about all of this. I may not be pleased with how some of it specifically turned out, but I am ultimately glad people can now play a good chunk of the game without being someone like me who has a degree in the language and has the school loans to prove it, ahaha.
@jennibelle: Yep, that's the stuff! Be prepared to be educated on old Atari, Intellivision, and Colecovision(?) games you had no idea you couldn't be capable of caring less about! It's a wonderful journey, one where we all come away learning a little about ourselves, and the final video is as good of a sendoff as any series on this site.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Tablet Plus
Park Hotel Tokyo
Shiodome Media Tower, 1-7-1 Higashi Shinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan
Neighborhood: Shiodome
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Like many Tokyo hotels, the Park Hotel occupies part of a mixed-use skyscraper; in this case, ten uppermost floors of the Shiodome Media Tower, right in the heart of downtown. Architecturally, the Park Hotel is rather unique — the core of the building has been hollowed out, so that its 274 rooms all face outward. The result is a sun-drenched ten-story atrium, extending 120 feet straight up to the skyscraper's glass ceiling — far more refreshing than the enclosed lobby floor of some Tokyo tower hotels.The rooms are decorated in a soothing contemporary style, with dark wood and earthy fabrics set against white walls, and bright sunlight or warm electric light from stylish Italian fixtures, depending on the weary traveler's internal clock. Technology is everywhere, as one would expect in a building called the Media Tower; rooms feature broadband internet and satellite TV, among other modern conveniences.Jet lag is a problem in Tokyo hotels, with many guests twelve hours off from their home time zones, and it is commonplace for hotels to feature blackout curtains to let guests sleep in and adjust. The Park Hotel goes one step beyond — here staffers are available for professional consultations regarding sleep habits, and pillows are custom-fitted, stuffed by hand, to match such measurements as neck length and preferred sleeping position. File this one under "only in Japan," at least until the big luxury chains catch on.The Shiodome district is one of Tokyo's most futuristic areas, a visual feast, and the Ginza shopping district is close at hand. The financial center is nearby, and if you happen to be in the television business, this is your neighborhood. And the Shiodome subway station is directly connected to the tower through a ground-floor entrance, for easy access to the rest of Tokyo, in case Shiodome hasn't yet overloaded your senses.
How to get there:
The Park Hotel Tokyo stands at the 25th floor of the 'Shiodome Media Tower' and is directly connected to the Shiodome Station on the Toei Oedo (exits 7,8) and Yurikamome subway lines.
7-minute walk from Shimbashi Station (JR lines) and subway (Ginza line and Toei Asakusa line).
8 minutes by car from Tokyo Station.
From Narita International Airport take the Narita Express train, which reaches Tokyo Station in approximately 90 minutes.

Rooms are small (it is Tokyo after all), but immaculate, with the fabulous Toto brand heated bidet toilet seats, fragrant toiletries, slippers, robes, nice breakfast buffet, staff is gracious, helpful, perfect location next to the Shiodome subway station and even a shuttle to the airport when we left!

What I liked:
It was in a great location and the staff went out of their way to be helpful.

Pros: beautiful hotel; excellent accessibility to Shimbashi station, Shiodome Sio-Site and Ginza; free internet in rooms; chocolate croissants; excellent staff. Cons: "business" center had only two seats (wireless internet in lobby would have alleviated this problem); beds in premium sweet too small for two people(queen size would be nice); down or dacron pillows were terrible (wider selection would be nice, eg. foam); on-site coin laundry would have been nice. Stayed one week with my wife and 4 year old daughter. We had a wonderful time and would return to the Park hotel.

EXCLUSIVE: Keeping Up With Kevin Hart
With "Ride Along" making history and "About Last Night" on the way, there's no stopping Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart has accomplished more in the first five weeks of 2014 than most people will accomplish all year. Following up a breakout 2013 where the Philadelphia-born comedian produced and starred in the successful standup special Let Me Explain, matched wits with screen legends in This is the End and Grudge Match and held down another season of BET's The Real Husbands of Hollywood, 2014 is sure to be a career-defining year for Hart if he has anything to do with it. His cop comedy Ride Along, also starring Ice Cube, is just a few million shy of crossing the $100 million mark, and is the top January opening weekend film in history. The scary thing is that the budding superstar is just getting started.
Up next is About Last Night, a remake where Hart joins Regina Hall, Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant for a modern love story about one-night stands that lead to something more. "I'm different in this than I was in Think Like a Man, Grudge Match and Ride Along," says Hart of his suave, lady-killer character Bernie, adding "It's edgy, it's raw and they allowed me and Regina to take a raw approach in showing a different way of loving."
[ALSO READ: 4 Reasons Why About Last Night Will Save Your Valentine's Day]
Hart's meteoric takeover was no accident. "You don't become a person who's on a pedestal by laying back and just waiting for opportunities" says Hart, who finances many of his projects through his company HeartBeat Productions. "I'm a guy who creates what he wants and does it how he should do it." The 34-year-old carefully spaces out his projects to make sure he's always shooting a documentary, working on another season of RHOH, or filming no fewer than two movies every other year. "People have said 'Kevin you have to stop, it's so much,' but I don't understand that," Hart half-jokes about friends that are in awe of his schedule, adding "What's the point of putting your blood, sweat and tears into something and then getting to a place where you finally get your rewards and then say "I don't want it?" I don't want to make the mistake I've seen other people make."
For About Last Night, Hart has big shoes to fill, as he bravely takes on a role made famous by fellow funnyman Jim Belushi. This was a risk Hart was willing to take for the updated retelling, which boldly replaces the original white, Chicago yuppies with black, Los Angeles singles.
"Remakes are dangerous because there's no in between," admits Hart, "It's either going to go really good or really bad." The Valentine's Day release could soften the blow from the R-rating, which often hurts romantic comedies, especially those with an all-black cast. Marketing a raunchy romance film with four African American stars to white audiences is more plausible today than it would have been just three years ago, however, thanks to the success of recent African American-lead films like The Best Holiday and Hart's own previous work. "The stigma of "the black movie" is slowly getting erased because people aren't paying attention to it," Hart says, adding "Now that it's getting erased, it's putting people in a position where you can do whatever you want."
Quips and comebacks aside, Hart is well aware of his current place on the Hollywood totem pole. Hart thinks he's successful, but nowhere near Will Ferrell, who he will begin shooting Get Hard with this month. Hart knows his strengths, but he also knows that if he doesn't show versatility, his shtick will get old. And even when it comes to recognition, Hart would be much more comfortable hosting an event like the Oscars than taking a shiny statue home himself. "Here's the thing about the Oscars: It's a great moment in any actor or actresses career, but what else comes with an Oscar?" says Hart. "There's so many people that have won an Oscar and today are in a difficult place because of work….I'm not looking for accolades."

28 Cinematic Masterpieces That Desperately Needed More Wil Wheaton

He is just in this place, you know?
Wil Wheaton gives a message to an convention attendee's daughter on why it is awesome to be a nerd. Who's cutting all these onions?
An absolute must-have for any toddlers who consider themselves both fashion-forward and fans of the Star Trek universe's most controversial character. This would make a great gift for Counselor Troi's alien baby in Start Trek: TNG, Season 2, Episode 1, "The Child." I'll shut up now.
All you have to do is say his name three times and he will appear.
Codex and Fawkes, together again. This one-shot fills the gap between seasons 4 and 5 to explain how he went from Evil Leader to Creeper in a Dog Costume.

Villa banked in the only goal of Spain's 1-0 victory over Paraguay in the World Cup quarterfinals off not one post, but both of them. Villa took the tournament scoring lead with his fifth goal, in the 83rd minute, setting off a crescendo of blaring vuvuzelas in the stadium and further cementing his status as his nation's top play.

Drunken RIM executives chewed through restraints aboard Air Canada flight
The two executives, George Campbell, 45, and Paul Alexander Wilson, 38, were described by fellow passengers as "quite intoxicated" when they boarded the plane. One passenger, when asked to describe their behavior after take off, said,
Campbell, in particular, threatened to "off people when they left the plane." He later lay on his belly in the aisle and started kicking the floor. One of the two also assaulted a flight attendant and threatened to punch another flight attendant. Eventually, crew members attempted to restrain the men with plastic handcuffs and tape, but Campbell and Wilson managed to "chew their way through their restraints."
This behavior is what caused the flight to be diverted. Originally the plan was to land in Anchorage, but as the situation became direr, the decision was made to land in Vancouver. Several flight attendants and a few passengers restrained the two men for the remaining 80 minutes of the flight, while the rest of the passengers were forced to remain in their seats because the crew had initialed a "lockdown situation."
The prosecution in this case described the men's behavior as "way over the top." Although both men have pleaded guilty to mischief and ordered to pay Air Canada a combined $77,000, Air Canada is estimating that the ordeal cost them close to $200,000 and is expected to sue for the remaining balance.

Maria Lenk
2008 Honor Swimmer
World Points – 1076, Pre-1986 Points-0. Total Points: 1076. Since 1986, she competed in 5 age groups (70-74 thru 90-94). 37 FINA MASTERS WORLD RECORDS.
A native of Brazil, Maria was a pioneer in the evolution of the butterfly stroke. She, along with Jeanette Campbell of Argentina, did more to advance the status of Latin American women in athletics than any other person . Maria was the first South American woman to participate in an Olympic Games (1936) and she is credited with being the first woman to swim butterfly-breaststroke in the Olympic Games in 1936, if not the world.
It seemed only natural that she would always be a swimmer, so when Masters Swimming became recognized by FINA, she was ready. While competing for both Brazil and the USA, Maria was in the FINA Masters Top 10 for 20 years until her death in 2007. She set a total of 37 FINA Masters World Records in all strokes and the individual medley, 17 long course and 20 short course. Since 1986, she competed in 5 age groups from 70-74 through 90-94.
Maria had 59 number one long course rankings and 24 number one short course rankings, for a total of 83 number one world rankings. She competed in eleven FINA Masters World Championships beginning in 1986 in Tokyo, winning a total 37 gold, 12 silver and 5 bronze medals.

Effects of endurance exercise-training on single-fiber contractile properties of insulin-treated streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 15831797 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The purpose of this study was to characterize the contractile properties of individual skinned muscle fibers from insulin-treated streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats after an endurance exercise training program. We hypothesized that single-fiber contractile function would decrease in the diabetic sedentary rats and that endurance exercise would preserve the function. In the study, 28 rats were assigned to either a nondiabetic sedentary, a nondiabetic exercise, a diabetic sedentary, or a diabetic exercise group. Rats in the diabetic groups received subcutaneous intermediate-lasting insulin daily. The exercise-trained rats ran on a treadmill at a moderate intensity for 60 min, five times per week. After 12 wk, the extensor digitorum longus and soleus muscles were dissected. Single-fiber diameter, Ca(2+)-activated peak force, specific tension, activation threshold, and pCa(50) as well as the myosin heavy chain isoform expression (MHC) were determined. We found that in MHC type II fibers from extensor digitorum longus muscle, diameters were significantly smaller from diabetic sedentary rats compared with nondiabetic sedentary rats (P < 0.001). Among the nondiabetic rats, fiber diameters were smaller with exercise (P = 0.038). The absolute force-generating capacity of single fibers was lower in muscles from diabetic rats. There was greater specific tension (force normalized to cross-sectional area) by fibers from the rats that followed an endurance exercise program compared with sedentary. From the results, we conclude that alterations in the properties of contractile proteins are not implicated in the decrease in strength associated with diabetes and that endurance-exercise training does not prevent or increase muscle weakness in diabetic rats. |

If you have configured a session key in your application controller like so: # Pick a unique cookie name to distinguish our session data from others' session :session_key => '_myapp_session_id' Comatose does not pick up on it, instead using the default "_session_id". This is due to the fact that Comatose inherits from ActionController::Base rather than the ApplicationController used by the rest of the app. This causes problems with eg login and authentication integration.

Yivli Minare (Fluted Minaret)
Yivli Minare (Fluted Minaret) Review
Dark blue and turquoise tiles decorate the Yivli Minare, a graceful 13th-century cylinder erected by the Seljuk sultan Alaaddin Keykubat I. The adjoining mosque, named for the sultan, was built on the site of a Byzantine church. Within the complex are two attractive türbes (tombs) and an 18th-century tekke (monastery), which once housed a community of whirling dervishes. The monastery is now used as an unremarkable art gallery. The Nigar Hatun Türbe (Tomb of Lady Nigar), next to the monastery, is a 15th-century copy built in Seljuk style. The medrese (theological school) adjacent to the Fluted Minaret has now been glassed in under a bus-station-style roof and is a tourist-oriented shopping center. It sells standard Turkish fare (think pottery, copperwork, carpets, and tiles) but prices are better than at most other resorts along the coast.

I started Young God Records originally in 1990 to facilitate the release of SWANS music (1982-1997, and now 2010 - ? ). In the late 90's the label expanded to include music by other artists as well as my group Angels of Light. We had a good run there for a while, but due to the changing (adverse) climate in music commerce, and my decision to re-invigorate Swans (and the demands of time and energy that entails), I have recently decided to limit the label to releases by Swans and my other musical endeavors, exclusively. I might decide to do a one-off release by a friend or person's music I particularly admire on occasion here and there in the future, but for the most part my role as "label boss" and producer etc is on permanent hiatus. I love the music the label has released, and I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to work with other artists on their music and careers. Many of them have become good friends. Most YGR releases will remain in print and available either through this website, what remaining retail venues exist, as well as digitally through the usual avenues. Your decision to purchase the music, rather than obtain it through other means, will go a long way towards enabling the work of Swans and the label to continue. Thanks for your support!

PLEASE NOTE: Sorry, we are NOT considering new projects for the label. Unsolicited demos/CDs/CD-Rs/MP3s are not accepted! Please DO NOT SEND unsolicited music in any form.

I called to cancel after the trial, but was informed that I must purchase one more time at the price of $99.90. So, I did. I told them at that time that I did not wish to receive any more shipments. I was assured that they would not send me any more or charge my card again. That was the end of December 2005. After receiving the product (3 bottles), I chalked it up to needing to pay more attention to the fine print next time I ordered anything online.
In early March 2005, I noticed another charge to my account from LeanLife PM in the amount of $99.90. I immediately contacted my bank AND LeanLife PM. I left 4 or 5 messages over the period of a week with the operator at their (909) number, assured once again that it would be taken care of.
Every time I asked to talk to a manager, I was told they were in a different state (Utah), while the place that had shipped me the product (and the call center) were both in California. They took my number each time and assured me they would have somebody call me back. Nobody has ever called me back.
I then called again and demanded a refund or I would seek legal action. I was told to return the product to the California address where, upon receipt, I would receive a full refund.
After a month of waiting to see the refund (after mailing it certified mail), I called again. I was then told there was no record of the return (even though I had a receipt to prove it was received) and was then told to send a letter to the corporate office in Utah. So I did so via certified mail, asking them to contact me via mail or phone. I received nothing but a receipt saying it had been received.
It has now been 3 months since they received my letter and they have disconnected their phone number and are not listed in the Utah phone directory under either company name.
I called the Better Business Bureau for Utah and was told to get online and file a report. They acknowledged that there had been many recent reports on this company, and that they had started issuing refunds only to those who filed a report with the BBB in Utah.
Just yesterday, I noticed an authorization on my checking account from Hoodia Burn Fat for $69.95!!! I have had NO recent contact with this company to place an order (as if I would!), yet they are still charging my card for more! I cannot find a phone number or website for this company... so anyone who knows how to get ahold of them PLEASE let me know via this site.
I have filed a dispute with my bank and cancelled this card so they cannot charge me in the future. However, I am still out almost $170.00 for who knows how long. I am a single mother and a college student, so it is NOT acceptable to have ANY amount of money stolen from me. I have a hard enouh time as it is to keep up financially.
Bottom line is, this company MUST be stopped and ordered to refund all of theit fraudulent charges - I KNOW I am not the only one that has been ripped off by them! How can anyone get away with this?!? Who is protecting the consumer?!?
Lastly, I advise anyone who has made an order with this company to cancel the card you ordered with IMMEDIATELY to avoid future fraud. They have proven that they are still at it. Oh, and PLEASE take the time to file a complaint with the Utah BBB via their website. Let's take these guys down and show that we, as consumers, are not going to be bullied by criminals!!!

By Günther Oettinger - 28th March 2013
If a major accident took place anywhere in Europe, the damage caused by an oil spill would probably not be limited to the country where it occurred. Safety concerns all European citizens
Günther Oettinger
Member states must ensure the highest safety, health and environmental standards when it comes to offshore oil and gas, writes Günther Oettinger.
Almost three years ago, when the Macondo oil well blew up at the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, 11 lives were lost, and four million barrels of oil flowed into the ocean. This resulted in enormous damage to the environment and affected the livelihood of thousands of people in coastal communities. The world was shocked by the scope of the accident itself and even more so by how long it took to get things back under control. It seriously undermined public confidence in the offshore oil and gas industry, including in Europe. And we have to wonder what would happen in the event of a similar accident in EU waters.
Offshore energy production is vital for Europe's security of supply and competitiveness. Over 90 per cent of oil and 60 per cent of gas produced in the EU is extracted from beneath the seabed, and there are nearly 1000 oil and gas installations operating in European waters. In some areas like the North Sea, offshore drilling operates under a world-class safety regime, yet in other regions the rules are less developed. There is clearly room for improvement.
It is true that only 13 member states have ongoing offshore operations, but we know that accidents do not stop at national borders. If a major accident took place anywhere in Europe, the damage caused by an oil spill would probably not be limited to the country where it occurred. Safety concerns all European citizens. This is why the commission reviewed the existing member states' safety frameworks for offshore operations, and proposed new legislation to guarantee that the world's highest safety, health and environmental standards apply everywhere in the EU. In February this year, the European parliament and the council reached a political agreement on the commission's legislative proposal on the safety of oil and gas operations in the EU. Once the European parliament and council formally approve the legislation, member states have to transpose it into national law and it will be applicable in the whole of the European Union.
This new framework is certainly not a rigid checklist of technical requirements, which may become outdated as the technology evolves or as offshore exploration and drilling moves into more challenging geological areas. Instead, the proposal focuses on safety criteria to be met by the industry and controlled by independent national experts.
Offshore energy production is a very complex and risky business. Oil wells and drilling rigs are like high-tech factories on ships that have to operate far offshore in cold water, often in depths of over 1000 metres. The water pressure is such that maintenance and, if necessary, rescue work, has to be done by remote control. This should not be used as an excuse. We must ensure that member states only authorise companies with sufficient technical expertise and financial capacity to work in EU waters.
According to new standards, offshore companies will have to prepare a risk assessment and an emergency response plan before activities can begin. These plans and their future alteration will have to be checked by independent experts and get a green light from national authorities. Moreover, inspectors will also regularly visit the oil platforms and do on-the-spot checks that all safety rules are being rigorously followed. If this is not the case, a company may be required to stop drilling immediately. The results of these inspections will be made available to the public, so that citizens can see whether safety standards are properly applied.
In addition to prevention, the new directive will ensure that we react wisely and promptly in the event of an accident. The company working at the well must have equipment on site that can be put immediately into operation.
We also have to make sure that the environment and the livelihood of local communities are not put at risk if the operator is no longer able to control the accident. In such cases, national emergency resources must be at the ready to intervene. And the resources and expertise of neighbouring member states, as well as the European maritime safety agency, will also be available to help limit the damage if an accident overwhelms national capacity. To be even more effective the European commission proposes to extend the environmental liability from 22 km to 370 km off the coasts of member states, thus covering all installations.
Last, but not least, it is in our best interests that offshore safety is pursued in neighbouring countries and beyond. Therefore the commission will work with its international partners to promote the implementation of the highest global safety standards. EU companies should then be expected to apply EU safety standards whenever they work overseas.
All these measures seem to be common sense and do not prevent member states from applying even stricter rules, but it is our duty to guarantee that every operator within the EU maintains this high level of safety. National authorities remain the best placed to control this, but we must ensure that these rules are applicable everywhere in the same way. This is good for operators already applying high standards. And it is what EU citizens have the right to expect.
Günther Oettinger is European energy commissioner
