Should We Fear Derivatives?
Article Citation
Stulz, René M. 2004. "Should We Fear Derivatives?"
Journal of Economic Perspectives,
18(3): 173-192.
This paper discusses the extent to which derivatives pose threats to firms and to the economy. After reviewing the derivatives markets and putting in perspective the various measures of the size of these markets, the paper shows who uses derivatives and why. The difficulties firms face in valuing derivatives portfolios are evaluated. Although academics pay much attention to no-arbitrage pricing results, the paper points out that there can be considerable subjectivity in the pricing of derivatives that do not have highly liquid markets. It is shown that the known risks of derivatives portfolios can generally be measured and managed well at the firm level. However, derivatives can create systemic risks when a market participant becomes excessively large relative to particular derivatives markets. Overall, the benefits of derivatives outweigh the potential threats.

ELIZABETH- Tuesday's meeting of the Wirt County Commission will include a discussion on the failure of the county's operating levy to pass in the General Election.
Wirt County Commission President Robert Lowe said the commission will discuss how to move forward after the levy was defeated on Nov. 6. Wirt County's levy is for funding employee salaries, building maintenance and supplies and regional jail costs.
The operating levy captured almost 59 percent, 1,215 votes, of the vote this month. The vote marked the second time this year the levy got a simple majority vote, but failed to hit the required 60 percent.
Commissioners will meet at 9 a.m. in the Wirt County Courthouse.

Indeed, at times it was as if WVU's mental focus was carried off with the intoxicated fan. Syracuse had a fourth-and-1 at the WVU 2 and was whistled for delay-of-game penalty after sending out the field goal team. Stewart declined the penalty. Why would one allow the opposition closer to the end zone? Is it easier to fake a field goal or score off a bad snap from the 2 or the 7? What if Marrone had changed his mind and decided to go for it?
On this day, Syracuse was more prepared. It was sharper. It stuck to its bread and butter, the run game, even when standout tailback Delone Carter went out because of injury.
"If we would have got in a passing game with them ... no, we would have been in trouble," Marrone said.
WVU's old bread-and-butter, its run game, again fell down. A paltry 106 yards on 35 rushes for a 3-yard average. Again, no effective tweaks were forthcoming.
"We tried to mix it up,'' Marrone said. "And they do that defensively themselves. They do an excellent job of that. We try to do the same thing. Show some coverage; show like we're bringing pressure then dropping; bringing some in the end."
And getting to Smith. The rush game was missing. The Orange had five sacks.
"We had a hard time protecting him,'' Stewart said of Smith. "That's why he couldn't stay in the pocket and get as many deep balls as we wanted.''
A couple times in his postgame press conference, Stewart said his players were reading too many press clippings. But the reality is those players simply weren't ready Saturday. That's on Stewart.
"I think [Syracuse] just outphysical-ed us,'' Smith said. "They were more physical than us. We didn't come out with the right mindset. We didn't come out with an attacking mindset. We were taking a lot of punches. That's something we definitely need to work on.''
The lack of mental focus?
"I don't think we focused on every play,'' Smith said. "I think we took a lot of plays off today.''
On Homecoming. With a nice, rowdy crowd. With a national ranking on the line.

After reading the latest go-'round between Thomas Greene of the Register and
Tim O'Reilly, I find myself heavily agreeing with Tim and not seeing Thomas'
point at all.
There are two major points that make Tim's position overall the more sensible
one. I will make the disclaimer that these points are most applicable to the
United States and anywhere else democracy exists; however, they're likely
relevant elsewhere as well.
- Software should never deprive someone of their right to choose.
Open source has been hailed by many because it offers them that one crucial
element: choice. For so long now, people have been trapped into the Microsoft
way of purchasing, training, using, and throwing out. It's been done on a
Microsoft cycle - grab the latest bugfix/release, spend money to purchase,
train, and deploy it, and throw it out two years later for more bugfixes…ahem,
releases. Now that Linux and other open source operating systems are prime
candidates for the server space (and some can even argue that Linux is ready
for the desktop, although I do have issues with that stance), we're not roped
in by Microsoft's cash-hungry enterprise.So it appears to me that we're looking at taking away the very quality that's
made open source the viable industry force that it is today.
- The government should never deprive themselves of the tools to most
effectively govern their constituents. Remember Larry Ellison's offer to
donate Oracle software to the ill-fated effort to create a national ID card?
What if Oracle were the best solution for that? Under this law, the government
couldn't legally buy it for love or money, because I doubt Oracle is going to
cough up raw code for its crown jewel. We'd be stuck with a nationwide
identification system based on MySQL or something similar. While it's a great
product, do you think we should trust it?That may be a roundabout way of getting to my point: choose the best tool for
the job. Why limit the government's choice? That affects every last single one
of us.
And really, that's cutting off our noses to spite our collective face.
What do you think the point of the law is? And how do you think government on open source only will affect you?

Thanks everyone! I did some researching what our dr said happened - I don't even remember the words until the middle of the night. Blighted Ovum. That's what she called it.
And the research is... Comforting. Does that make sense? I also found some great Men's blogs on miscarriage. It's helping me to understand my husband. And it helped him to read them and understand that he's not alone in this.
We're supposed to have another snow storm tonight. I just hope that it doesn't impact our procedure tomorrow. I just want to be able to stop worrying.
Thanks again! You have all been so supportive!Mom to:

USPTO Deals Second Strong Blow to Apple's Effort to Patent Bouncing Animations

Samsung's lawyers push for damages to be vacated amid invalidity findings
In Apple, Inc.'s (
) mind,
it invented much of the technology powering smartphones
and the rest of the industry -- including Google Inc.'s (
) Android -- are
cheap imitations at best
. The company raised eyebrows when it scored a series of patents that appeared to either overlap with preexisting patented art (e.g. smartphone unlocking) or mimic natural phenomena.
I. Another Nail Goes in the Coffin
While current precedent in the U.S. patent system forbids patents on laws of nature, Apple nonetheless appeared to score a very broad patent covering all transient-response style smartphone animations. Perceived as a stretch-and-bounce, these UI animations mirror the mechanical response in real-world objects like springs.
While patenting bouncing animations might seem a bit like if Rovio tried to patent gravity in video games, Apple successfully used the patent to convince a group of Californian jurors that its archrival Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) had "slavishly" copied its intellectual property. Samsung was ordered to pay a hefty
$1.05B USD for the offense
But the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO) struck a blow to Apple's litigious dreams last October when it filed a First Office Action to invalidate the controversial
U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381
, citing prior art.
The Samsung Galaxy S II and dozens of other Samsung smartphones were found to infringe on the '381 "bounce" patent, but that patent has now been invalidated.
This week the office put another coffin nail in place for the '381 patent, filing a Final Office Action to kill the patent. In the filing, lead examiner Dennis Bonshock complained that Apple did not sufficiently address the concerns raised in the first invalidation filing.
USPTO Final Office Action in Samsung v. Apple
Apple's sole remaining hope to save the patent is to appeal the decision to the
Patent Trial and Appeal Board
(PTAB), a panel that reviews the office's patent decisions. This is somewhat of a long-shot. While First Office Actions are sometimes rolled back, its rarer to see a Final Office Action reversed.
PTAB decisions can be appealed to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
, but again reversals are extremely rare at that level.
II. '381 Patent was Key in Win Over Samsung
As Samsung was found guilty of infringing the '381 patent on 21 devices -- the Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Fascinate, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Prevail, Galaxy S, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S II (AT&T), Galaxy S II (i9100), Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi), Gem, Indulge, Infuse 4G, Mesmerize, Nexus S 4G, Replenish, and Vibrant -- the invalidation could save the Apple's rival hundreds of millions in damages.
Samsung filed notice with
Judge Lucy Koh
of the
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
of the invalidation. Samsung's lawyers are urging Judge Koh to vacate the jury verdict, in lieu of the invalidation rulings.
The USPTO has been cleaning house invalidating a number of seemingly broad Apple patents.
U.S. Patent No. 7,844,915
which covers pinch-to-zoom/one-fingered scrolling and
U.S. Patent No. 7,479,949
, which
covers "multitouch heuristics"
have also received
Preliminary Office Actions
from the USPTO invalidating them. The pinch-to-zoom gesture had been developed by university researchers in the 1980s (namely Myron Krueger's team at the
University of Toronto
) and widely publicized, but Apple patented it under the guise of being the first to implement it on a capacitive multi-touch device.
Myron Krueger developed pinch-to-zoom [pictured] in the 1980s. [Image Source: Bill Buxton]
The Captivate, Continuum, Droid Charge, Epic 4G, Exhibit 4G, Fascinate, Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Prevail, Galaxy S, Galaxy S 4G, Galaxy S II (AT&T), Galaxy S II (i9100), Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Wi-Fi), Gem, Indulge, Infuse 4G, Mesmerize, Nexus S 4G, Transform, and Vibrant -- 21 more Samsung devices -- infringe on the '915 patent.
III. Apple May Lose Most of Its Epic Court Win
Removing those patents, only
U.S. Patent No. 7,864,163
-- a patent on touch UI elements -- remains on the utility side. Fewer Samsung devices were found to infringe on that patent, so asuming the invalidations stick, Samsung would likely pay less than a third of its current utility-sourced damages. Samsung is also on the hook for infringing on Apple's design patents for a handful of devices.
Judge Koh has thus far only agreed to
vacate $450.5M USD of the damage total
and hold a new damages trial, on the grounds that the jury made an error in calculating damages. She has not yet agreed to reevaluate the overall jury verdict, though she did
toss out the jury's assertion
that Samsung's infringement
was "willful"
Judge Koh [Image Source: IB Times]
Samsung argued that it thought the patents it infringed on were invalid and Judge Koh bought that argument. Now it looks like Samsung was right -- a number of the patents are indeed invalid.

The only thing I don't get in this court stuff is that you can get $1 billion for a supposed patent on a bouncing UI effect or a pinch to zoom feature that was described in the 80's? And then you can ask for all products using such features to be banned from import? Really? How essential are these 'inventions' to the operations of a smartphone? This is a tiny, very tiny, part of a smartphone when compared to all other technologies that make such a device possible (processors, GPUs, memory, screens, cameras, wireless, software, and thousands of other things that are way above my knowledge). Apple seems desperate to me. They created a great product with the original iPhone and its ecosystem, but what were they expecting? That nobody would try to compete? If the world was working the way Apple wants it to work, we would still be watching black and white TVs, using landlines phones, and running a desktop computer (forget about laptops) with a 8086 at 4.77mhz, 64kb RAM, and an amber monitor. By the way, thanks Xerox for the invention of the graphical UI. Apple makes great products, I have no problem recognizing that (even if the only Apple product I ever purchased was an iMac back in 1998, a mistake since for the same price I could have built a PC twice as powerful), but Apple needs to realize that they cannot keep other companies from entering a juicy market. I wish to Apple to have the success they had for the last few years, but if they want to keep ahead, suing for stupid insignificant features is not the way to go. Okay, I wasted 10 minutes giving an opinion nobody cares about, so now time to go sleep.

America is a country at war. While the war in Iraq ostensibly drew down in December 2011, the United States has been quagmired in a war in Afghanistan for more than a decade.
But we're also in the midst of a number of other wars — cultural wars. It started with Nixon's War on Drugs, then quickly escalated.
President Barack Obama's environmental regulations on coal mining caused proponents to claim he had declared a War on Coal. The Affordable Care Act's mandate that companies pay for employee contraception caused many faith groups to claim a War on Religion.
Statements from Republican politicians about "legitimate rape" and "binders full of women" caused some Democrats to claim the GOP had declared a War on Women.
And the ever-vigilant conspiracists news hounds at FOX News have exposed a scheme by Jesus-hating liberals to wage a War on Christmas for trying to remove constitutionally questionable dolled-up trees and pastoral scenes of babies in unsuitable barn-life cribbery faith-based displays from public property.
But by far the most heinous altercation being waged originated with Republican Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus, who has declared a War on Babies.
As first reported by The Enquirer, conservative groups this week sent out a press release vilifying Niehaus for killing tons of babies in a mass effort to wipe out the state's youth population a 17-month old bill that would give Ohio one of the strictest abortion laws in the nation.
Niehaus moved the so-called Heartbeat Bill — which would ban all abortions after the first detectable fetal heartbeat — from the Health Committee to the Rules and Reference Committee to avoid a forced vote on the legislation. He also removed staunch anti-abortion Senators Keith Faber and Shannon Jones from that committee.
"I'm shocked by Tom Niehaus' war on pro-life women," wrote Lori Viars in the news release. Viars is the vice president of Warren County Right to Life and vice chair of Warren County Republican Party.
Viars called for Republicans to remove Niehaus from Senate leadership. Niehaus is term-limited and will not continue on in office after this year.
Niehaus blamed Romney's loss for his decision to kill the bill, saying that the Republican's victory would have increased the likelihood of a U.S. Supreme Court lineup that would uphold it against a likely challenge.
The bill was the topic of discussion at a Senate Insurance, Commerce and Labor Committee hearing on Nov. 27. At the hearing, supporters argued the bill would stop compensating illegal workers who aren't supposed to be in Ohio to begin with. But opponents argue that the details in the bill add too many extra problems.
In fact, the bill might be going after a problem that doesn't even exist. At an earlier hearing, Seitz, a Republican, said the state does not collect data on the immigration status of workers receiving compensation. To Brian Hoffman of Innovation Ohio, this means there's no way to know if the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) has ever compensated a single undocumented worker. "It just seems curious that this bill is being introduced and has gotten three hearings when there's no proof that it's actually even an issue," he says.
Hoffman is also worried that the bill is imposing a new regulatory burden on BWC without providing additional funds. In his view, the state agency is essentially being told to do more without additional resources to prepare or train regulators. Considering how complicated the immigration issue can get, this makes Hoffman doubt the agency will be able to properly carry out the new regulations.
From a broader perspective, the bill imposes regulatory hurdles on all injured workers just so they can get compensation they're entitled to under state law. "Talk about kicking someone when they're down," Hoffman says.
But the burden could hit Hispanics even harder and lead to more discrimination in the workplace. After all, when employers are clearing legal statuses, who are they more likely to question, someone with a name like "Dexter Morgan" or someone with a name like "Angel Batista"?
In Hoffman's view, the state should leave immigration issues to the federal government and worry about more pressing issues: "Why is the state legislature even wasting its time on the issue? There are plenty of really good ideas to bring jobs back to Ohio. Why aren't they focused on those?"
The bill is still in committee, but it's been the subject of multiple hearings. It's unlikely the Ohio Senate will take it up in what's left of the lame-duck session, but it could come back in the next year.
CityBeat was unable to reach Seitz for comment despite repeated attempts through phone and email, in addition to a scheduled interview that was canceled. This story will be updated if comment becomes available.
More than half of Cincinnati's children live in poverty, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2012 American Community Survey released Thursday.
The 2012 rate represents a roughly 10-percent increase in the city's child poverty rate in the past two years. In 2010, 48 percent of Cincinnatians younger than 18 were considered impoverished; in 2012, the rate was 53.1 percent.
If the number was reduced back down to 2010 levels, approximately 4,500 Cincinnati children would be pulled out of poverty.
Overall poverty similarly increased in Cincinnati from 30.6 percent in 2010 to 34.1 percent in 2012.
Black residents were hit hardest with 46.4 percent classified as in poverty in 2012, up from 40.8 percent in 2010. Meanwhile, the poverty rate among white residents went from 19.8 percent in 2010 to 22.9 percent in 2012.
Hispanics of any race were placed at a poverty rate of 51 percent in 2012, but that number had an extraordinary margin of error of 15.5 percent, which means the actual poverty rate for Hispanics could be up to 15.5 percent higher or lower than the survey's estimate. In 2010, 42 percent of Hispanics were classified as impoverished, but that number had an even larger margin of error of 17.9 percent.
The other local numbers had margins of error ranging from 2.2 percent to 4.9 percent.
The child poverty rates for Cincinnati were more than double Ohio's numbers. Nearly one in four Ohio children are in poverty, putting the state at No. 33 worst among 50 states for child poverty, according to the Children's Defense Fund of Ohio.
In 2012, the U.S. government put the federal poverty level for a family of four at an annual income of $23,050.
Some groups are using the numbers to make the case for new policies.
"Too many Ohioans are getting stuck at the lowest rung of the income ladder and kids are paying the price," said Hannah Halbert, workforce researcher for left-leaning think tank Policy Matters Ohio, in a statement. "Policymakers — at both the state and federal levels — are making a clear choice to not invest in workers, families or kids. This approach is not moving our families forward."
The federal government temporarily increased aid to low-income Americans through the federal stimulus package in 2009, but some of that extra funding already expired or is set to expire later in the year. The food stamp program's cuts in particular could hit 1.8 million Ohioans, according to an Aug. 2 report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
At a local level, City Council has consistently failed to uphold its commitment to human services in the past decade, which human services agencies say is making the fight against poverty and homelessness more difficult.
After CityBeat was criticized for "factual errors" in an article about The Cincinnati Enquirer's new social media strategy by one of that newspaper's editors, we offered her the opportunity early Thursday to elaborate and she responded today.
Supporters of the $133 million streetcar project on Thursday night packed Mercantile Library and Fountain Square to start a two-week campaign that seeks to prevent the incoming mayor and City Council from canceling the ongoing project.
Turnout was particularly strong as supporters reached the 200-person capacity at Mercantile Library before the event started. Another 200 watched the event from the Jumbotron screen at Fountain Square, according to the event's organizers.
In attendance were several Over-the-Rhine business owners and residents; council members P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Seelbach and Wendell Young; and several supporters of the project from around the city.
The goal of the event was to organize supporters and begin a lobbying campaign to convince the three perceived swing votes in the incoming council — Sittenfeld, David Mann and Kevin Flynn — to support continuing the project. All three have spoken against the streetcar in the past, but they told CityBeat they want to fully account for the project's cancellation costs, completion costs and potential return on investment before making a final decision.
Speakers urged supporters to contact the nine newly elected council members and raise awareness about the streetcar's benefits before Mayor-elect John Cranley, who opposes the streetcar project, and the new City Council take office in December.
Ryan Messer, a lead organizer of the effort to save the streetcar, spoke about the advantages of the streetcar project for much of the event. "This is a good economic tool that helps all of Cincinnati," he repeatedly stated.
Supporters have some empirical evidence to base their claims on. A 2007 study from consulting firm HDR found the streetcar project would generate a 2.7-to-1 return on investment over 35 years. The HDR study was later evaluated and supported by the University of Cincinnati.
Project executive John Deatrick acknowledges the 2007 study is now outdated and the city is working on updating the numbers. But he says the streetcar project is supposed to be viewed as an economic development vehicle, not just another transit option.
Supporters also warned of the potential costs of canceling the streetcar project. Hours before the gathering, Mayor Mark Mallory released a letter from the Federal Transit Administration that explicitly stated the city would lose nearly $41 million in federal grant dollars if the project were canceled, and another $4 million would be placed in the hands of Gov. John Kasich to do as he sees fit.
City spokesperson Meg Olberding previously told CityBeat that the city already spent about $2 million of the federal funds. If the project were canceled, she says the money would have to be repaid through the operating budget that funds police, firefighters and human services instead of the capital budget currently financing the streetcar project.
The operating budget has been structurally imbalanced since 2001, so adding millions in costs to it could force the city to cut services or raise taxes.
The FTA letter might already be playing an influence for at least one of the swing votes on City Council. On the elevator ride up to Mercantile Library, Sittenfeld told Seelbach and CityBeat, "I will say that today's news is a big gain in the pro-streetcar column."
Another threat for the city is potential litigation from contractors, subcontractors, taxpayers and Over-the-Rhine residents and businesses who invested in the project or along the streetcar line with the expectation that the project would be completed.
Litigation costs would also come out of the operating budget, according to Olberding.
"As a trial lawyer, this is actually appealing," said Democratic attorney Don Mooney. "For the city, not so much."
Supporters also outlined the potential damage that pulling from the project could do to the city's image, given that developers, businesses and the federal government have put their support and dollars toward the streetcar.
"Is Cincinnati that city that will dine you and wine you and leave you alone at the altar?" Young asked.
But if the lobbying effort, cancellation costs and threat of litigation aren't enough, supporters also presented one more option to save the streetcar: a ballot initiative. Mayor-elect John Cranley on Thursday told The Cincinnati Enquirer that he would be open to allowing some sort of streetcar referendum on the ballot.
The ultimate goal for supporters of the streetcar, beyond ensuring sustainable growth in the urban core, is to connect all of Cincinnati through a vast transit network, much like the streetcar lines that ran through Cincinnati before the city government dismantled the old system in the 1950s.
That provides little assurance to opponents of the streetcar project. Cranley and at least three hard-liners in the incoming City Council — Amy Murray, Charlie Winburn and Christopher Smitherman — claim the project is too expensive and the wrong priority for Cincinnati. Discussing more phases makes the project appear even costlier to opponents who are already concerned with costs.
In its comprehensive plan for 2040, the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments put the cost of various extensions — to the University of Cincinnati and surrounding hospitals, the Cincinnati Zoo, the Cincinnati Museum Center and the Broadway Commons area near the Horseshoe Casino — at more than $191 million, or $58 million more than the estimated cost for the current phase.
But if Cincinnati never completes the first phase of the streetcar project, supporters say it could be decades before other light rail options are considered.
Former Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Harris has accepted a major, high-profile job in Detroit, where he will live during the week.
Harris, 39, was hired Monday as the first executive director for Excellent Schools Detroit. The new organization is comprised of various education, government, community and philanthropic leaders who have developed a 10-year, citywide education plan to improve Detroit's public school system.
City Solicitor John Curp and Ohio Ethics Commission Executive Director Paul Nick said in an Oct. 22 email exchange that it was OK for Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls to retain her job as a realtor and vote in support of the streetcar project, even though the project could indirectly benefit Qualls by increasing property values — and therefore her compensation as a realtor — along the route.
The email exchange was provided to CityBeat and other media outlets after mayoral candidate John Cranley criticized Qualls, who is also running for mayor, for the alleged conflict of interest at an Oct. 22 press conference.
Curp stated in an email to Nick that Qualls' potential gains from the streetcar project are too speculative and indirect to present a conflict of interest or ethical violation because the real estate sales are "arms-length transactions between private parties" with a flat 1 to 2 percent fee.
Nick's emailed response cited two previous Ohio Ethics Commission opinions to support Curp's analysis.
"It would be unreasonable to hold that lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, and other professionals have an interest in the contracts of their business clients. In general, such professionals are not deemed to be interested in the business dealings of a client, merely because they receive fees for professional services," according to a February 1986 opinion.
The opinion then clarifies that ethics violations must be directly tied to a project. For example, an insurance agent on City Council would violate ethics law if he or she voted on a construction contract in which his or her insurance agency is charged with handling bond sales for the contract in some way.
Curp also noted that Qualls had asked about the potential conflict of interest on "a minimum of two prior occasions."
Nick told CityBeat in a phone interview that it's normal for city officials to go through city solicitors before going to the Ohio Ethics Commission with an ethical question. If the city solicitor and commission agree a formal analysis isn't necessary, the situation is resolved with brief guidance.
For Cranley, the concerns suggest a contradiction to his previously touted beliefs about the streetcar.
Supporters of the streetcar project, including Qualls,
often tout potential property value increases and the economic gains
they would bring to Cincinnati as a reason to back the project. The economic gains were supported by studies from consulting firm HDR and the University of Cincinnati, which found the streetcar would produce a three-to-one return on investment in Over-the-Rhine and downtown.
Critics, including Cranley, say such property value increases are overblown to falsely justify what they call a "pet project."
But if the property values never materialize, Qualls isn't financially benefiting in the way Cranley's campaign described.
There's a lot of buzz among political junkies about Outrage, the new documentary by filmmaker Kirby Dick that premiered across the nation last week. The film explores the prevalence of politicians who remain closeted about their sexuality and whether their choice harms the LGBT community.

I really like the profile overall. The amounts of Agmatine and Citrulline and the inclusion of Taurine and Micro GMS are awesome. I just realized that there are two flavors tho...I should have ordered both rather than a ton of Watermelon (even though I enjoy that flavor).

WEIRTON, W.Va. -- Weirton is imposing a 6 percent tax on natural gas drilling companies to protect its infrastructure and residents from potential damage.
The Weirton Daily Times (http://bit.ly/RfjdYg ) says City Council voted 4-1 Tuesday to approve the new business and occupation tax.
The lone opponent, Councilman David Dalyrmple, says the tax is anti-business.
Mayor George Kondik has said the tax will provide funding to repair any damage that heavy drilling trucks might cause to streets. The revenue also will help the city deal with fire and safety issues and training related to the natural gas industry.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Allylamines for Ringworm
Cream or gel (topical, applied directly to the skin)
Pills (oral) and granules (little grains that can be sprinkled over food and easily swallowed)
Allylamines are a class of antifungals used to treat ringworm of the skin.
Butenafine, naftifine, and terbinafine creams and gels are applied to infected areas of the skin. Some types of naftifine cream and terbinafine cream are available without a prescription. You apply these creams 1 to 2 times a day for up to 4 weeks.
Allylamines kill fungi.
Allylamines are used to treat ringworm. If an antifungal cream does not clear up the infection or if the infection is widespread or severe, your doctor may prescribe antifungal pills.
Allylamines are an effective treatment for ringworm of the skin, scalp, or beard.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Side effects are rare when you use allylamine creams to treat ringworm. But some people have noticed these problems:
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
If you are taking antifungal pills, your doctor may monitor your blood count and liver function during treatment to watch for any bad side effects. This may not be needed in people who are otherwise healthy.
Do not drink alcohol while taking terbinafine pills, because this may increase your risk for liver damage.
Allylamine pills should not be taken with some other medicines, such as an excessive amount of acetaminophen (Tylenol). Let your doctor know what other medicines you are taking.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

86% of Northbrook reviewers said Breast Implant Revision was worth it
"Overdue Breast Implant Revision -..."
I had implants some 25+ years ago and they had ruptured. Plus, I also had a lot of scar tissue. I, unfortunately, have a fairly pronounced doctor phobia so I had put this appointment/conversation off for many years. I was skeptical about actually going through with the revision. I just wanted a consult. However, Dr. Christopoulos' approach and confidence won me over. more
"Amazing and Well Worth It Love my..."
The reason why I needed a revision is because my ten years were up. I had saline and had those taken out and silicone implants to replace those!! Way nicer and well worth it. The shape is amazing and my surgeon did an amazing job!! They look stellar. If anyone out there is reaching the ten year point and have saline I highly recommend silicone !! more
"Breast Augmentation and Lift -..."
I've had breast augmentation done before. Unfortunately, within the first 6 years, one breast was tightened by scar tissue, while the other completely lost shape and drooped. My trust was an issue. I felt like a "number" to a surgeon. Give money and deal with the outcome. So, of course I was very scared when told a breast lift and mesh was advised in order for the best outcome. A lift? I... more
"Excellent Surgeon - Hoffman Estates, IL"
I saw Dr. Pelletiere after I developed symmastia following a breast augmentation with a different surgeon. I had done a lot of research online and was impressed with his reviews and his experience repairing the rare complication of symmastia. I was very scared to undergo this repair, as there was no guarantee it would work. He did all he could to make it a successful repair - I am now 10... more

It was a 2 year project!. I was very grateful. I admired his care, expertise, and my beautiful breasts. Encapsulation again was aproblem. Then I was to find that after a car accident, seizure, and other related medical... more
"3 weeks PO. Still not happy or worth..."
I have posted previously in the Tummy tuck & brazilian butt lift areas....as Ive also had these procedures done this past March. I am having a revisition in January and an very seriously considering changing my saline to silicone and going a cup size larger. I also would need a type of a lift on the right side, and also some release of the pocket area on the lower left. I am not unhappy... more
"A Superlative Experience In Breast..."
I chose to have breast implant revision because the saline implants I'd had up until that point were too big for my rib cage and as a result, I had developed capsular contracture, or scar tissue around the implants. The scar tissue caused the implants to feel very unnatural and hard, and caused me substantial discomfort, thus, I was seeking to eliminate my discomfort as well as gain a... more
"My Breast Augmentation Revision..."
I had a breast augmentation revision on one side. My implants were 14 years old and I was referred to Dr. Casas by a friend. The implant had turned hard and was surrounded by scar tissue. I looked deformed on the one side. The implant was also the wrong size-smaller then the other side. I had the surgery because I wanted to look normal. more

Unified Agenda - Table of Contents |
2271. ACCESS AND EGRESS IN SHIPYARDS (PART 1915, SUBPART E) (SHIPYARDS: EMERGENCY EXITS AND AISLES) Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is undetermined. Unfunded Mandates: Undetermined Reinventing Government: This rulemaking is part of the Reinventing Government effort. It will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or duplication, or streamline requirements. Legal Authority: 29 USC 655(b); 33 USC 941 CFR Citation: 29 CFR 1915.72; 29 CFR 1915.74; 29 CFR 1915.75; 29 CFR 1915.76 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: In the 1980s, OSHA embarked on a project to update and consolidate OSHA standards that applied to the shipbuilding, shiprepair, and shipbreaking industry. Shipyard employers are subject to both the shipyard and general industry standards, and this project aimed at establishing a vertical standard for shipyard employment by addressing six subparts (Confined Spaces, Welding, Access/Egress, Personal Protective Equipment, Fall Protection and Scaffolding). Proposals on these subparts were issued in November 1988 (53 FR 48092). Final rules have been issued on two of these proposals: Personal Protective Equipment and Confined Spaces. The remaining subparts in part 1915 were categorized as Phase II of the consolidation project (including General Working Conditions and Fire Protection). This standard will revise the existing shipyard employment standards covering access and egress and will consolidate all related and applicable 29 CFR part 1910 provisions into 29 CFR part 1915. The revision will develop, in part, performance-oriented standards, address current gaps in coverage, address new technology, and eliminate outmoded and redundant provisions. About 75,000 workers are potentially exposed to these hazards annually.

text: Prince charms Snakes in Crew's 4-3 win Written by Jaymes Langrehr on Tuesday, 03 June 2008 07:55. Score one for the Big Vegan. Prince Fielder scored the first run for the Brewers Monday night...but the last run he scored was the more important one. After the D-backs manufactured a run in the top of the 2nd to take a 1-0 lead, Prince got it back for starter Jeff Suppan. After Prince singled, he advanced to second on a wild pitch in the dirt courtesy of former Brewer Doug Davis. Then... The Big Vegan stole...third base! Okay, so it was not quite as entertaining as Prince's inside-the-park home run in the Metrodome last year, but still was a site to see. Prince scored on a Bill Hall sac fly moments later. The scored was tied 3-3 heading into the 8th inning...when Prince scored the winning run on a shot to left-center field, his 9th of the year. Suppan was impressive--3 ER in 7 IP; Davis was even more impressive--allowing just 1 ER over 6 IP over the mostly right-handed Brewers' line-up. The Brewers have now won four straight and face the Big Unit tonight.

Blue tooth issues and audio jack
Hey folks
Okay so here it is... I use blue tooth in the car and not the ear piece... Hands free system... Mitsubishi 2012 galant... Here's the problem... Whenever I get an incoming call while the audio jack is plugged in.. I can't hear the person until the jack is removed... Hence I use audio jack for music in my car stereo...I asked samsung and there completely clueless... Secondly... Whenever I receive a call... It automatically defaults to both speaker phone and blue tooth and it's driving me insane... So any help would be appreciated thank you very much

Re: Blue tooth issues and audio jack
I'm confused - if you're using bluetooth in the car, why is the audio jack plugged in? If bluetooth isn't working to play music, that's the problem you should focus on solving first.

Re: Blue tooth issues and audio jack
Does your car not have a bluetooth audio input? My 2012 Mazda has bluetooth built in. My head unit has one button that says "phone" (obviusly for making calls and bluetooth pairing) and then there is another button that says "aux". Pressing AUX once selects the aux headset jack in the car. Pressing the AUX button one more time selects the Bluetooth audio input so you can stream music wirelessly from your phone.

Re: Blue tooth issues and audio jack
I have a similar gripe in that I do have my BT setup for phone *and* audio...which is great...but whenever I want to use the navigation, I have to switch it over to aux to hear the turn by turn directions...when I'd rather listen to the radio or or something else and just have the voice come through the phone. It's easy enough to switch BT off before I engage nav, but then I almost always get a call that I can't answer because BT isn't on!

Re: Blue tooth issues and audio jack
There may be an option in the phone to use external speakers. I know people were mentioning it when they were using the new ibolt phone dock. Seems that phones using the head set jack had to switch that setting to allow the phone to use the cars speakers for calls. If you look through the ibolt review feed you may find the answer you are looking for... If I can find the forum I will post the link.

Re: Blue tooth issues and audio jack
This is a known issue. If you search some older posts you will find a lot about it. I have the exact same issue. I use a BT headset and I plug into the aux port and have the same trouble. I ended up buying a tunelink BT audio streaming device for my car to solve the issue. I am hoping this gets addressed with the 4.1 OTA.

Re: Blue tooth issues and audio jack
Thoes of you reading this thread may find that this may also be of intrest to you. I discribe how I was able to get the nav audio to come out of the phones built in speaker while leaving the phone paired with the bluetooth for calls. I also mentioned the Ibolt dock setting regarding the audio out. I'm not positive it will it will help with all your issues but it may be worth a read

AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 PCIe
The AMD ATI Radeon HD 7970 measures 27 cm long (10.6 in), the GPU core is clocked at 925MHz, and the GDDR5 memory operates at the same frequency of 1375MHz (5.5GHz DDR). Still, pairing that frequency with a 384-bit memory bus gives the HD 7970 264GB/s of theoretical bandwidth. The HD 7970 carries 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs and 32 ROPs, up 33% from 1536 SPUs and 96 TAUs, it's also the first PCI Express 3.0-compatible card.

Q. What test scores do I need to submit to complete a transfer application?
A. Scores from standardized tests are required as part of the transfer admissions process. We require official scores from either the SAT I or the ACT exam from ALL transfer applicants, regardless of the number of credits transferring or length of time since high school. We will accept either the old or new version of these tests (with or without writing components). International applicants who have studied in the United States (or in a setting where the language of instruction was not English) for fewer than five years are also required to submit an official TOEFL or IELTS exam score.
Q. Why do I need to submit copies of course descriptions?
A. If you are offered admission to the College, we will provide you with a tentative evaluation of transfer credit at the time we notify you of our decision. In order to evaluate any course work that you completed, or that is currently in progress, we will need to review official course descriptions from the college or university catalog. Therefore, we request official course descriptions for all college coursework at the time of application. Final credit evaluations and determination of General Education or Major Requirement exemptions will be completed once the final transcript is received and course descriptions may be reviewed by appropriate faculty members and the Office of the Registrar.
Q. Does Barnard consider financial need in the evaluation of transfer applicants?
A. When considering transfer students who are US Citizens or Permanent Residents, Barnard has limited funding available and we consider financial need when reviewing admissions applications. Spring transfers are not eligible for Barnard College grant aid. Spring transfers are only eligible to apply for federal and state aid. Fall transfers are reviewed with an awareness that need may be a factor in a student's ability to attend are are eligible for both Barnard College grant aid and for federal and state aid. Barnard is unable to assist international transfer students.
For all students, Barnard remains committed to meeting full demonstrated need in our financial aid packaging.
Q. I applied to Barnard as a first-year applicant and I am applying again as a transfer applicant. Do I need to submit an entirely new application?
A. If you decide to seek application again to the College, you will need to submit an entirely new application. However, we will have access to your prior application materials. Therefore, if you submitted official standardized test scores when you first applied, and you have not taken the exam since, we would still have this information on file. Letters of recommendation and supplemental materials would still be on file. We would not have your final high school transcript if you applied during your senior year, so this must be requested from your high school. Current and past college transcripts must be requested. And, remember, we also have your old essays, so this is a chance to inspire us with the new perspective you have gained as a wise transfer student.
Q. I will be applying to Barnard more than once as a transfer applicant. Do I need to submit an entirely new application?
A. Yes. As with the first-year application, we will have access to your previous application(s). However, all dated material (transcript, Registrar Report, Academic Evaluator Report, etc.) must be re-submitted to reflect the most up-to-date information. We will use previously submitted standardized testing and final high school transcripts that have been sent to us for previous applications.
Q. I will be applying to Barnard twice within the same year (for spring entrance and fall entrance). How do I submit a second application within the same academic year?
A. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com at the time of your second application with your full name and inquiry. Since students are unable to submit more than one application through Common Application within the same academic year, you must notify us of your decision to reapply. Please take note of the aforementioned information regarding reapplication as a transfer student and updating all dated material.
Q. I have been out of school for a number of years. Do I still need to submit a Registrar Report or Academic Evaluator Report?
A. Yes. Individuals applying to Barnard as transfer students are required to submit two letters of recommendation: 1) a college-level faculty recommendation* from a faculty member who has taught you in an academic setting and 2) a registrar report or current/most recent academic dean or adviser. It is not uncommon for the Registrar to submit this information without a detailed evaluation letter. This is acceptable and will fulfill this application requirement. The purpose of this form is to obtain information about your overall academic record/standing at the time of enrollment.
Unfortunately, letters of recommendation from employers and high school teachers cannot be submitted in lieu of these requirements. If you feel these recommendations would be helpful as an additional reference for you, we will accept employer or teacher recommendation as a supplement to those required.
*We recognize that transfer students come to Barnard College from a wide range of colleges and universities. Therefore, students who have the most personal contact with Teaching Assistants may find it more appropriate to ask a TA for a letter of recommendation.
Q. Can I schedule an interview?
A. Interviews are not part of the transfer application process. We invite you to convey to us within the context of the short answer questions or the lengthier application essay any information that you feel we should be aware of in evaluating your candidacy. If you have further questions contact the Office of Admissions at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To receive the Bachelor of Arts degree at Barnard, a transfer student must attend Barnard for at least four regular academic terms at Barnard (Morningside Heights, Reid Hall, Kyoto, Beijing, or the Berlin Consortium) during which she must complete at least 60 points, including at least six courses in the major field (and three in the minor field, if a minor is declared). Typically, students who transfer in with sophomore (24-51 points) class status can consider studying abroad. In careful consultation with one's academic adviser, a student can explore the implications for studying abroad while keeping in mind the residency and point requirements at the College.
Courses completed at other accredited colleges and universities which are similar in content and depth to Barnard courses may be submitted for transfer credit. Credit for approved work at another institution is applied to Barnard's 122-point graduation requirement with a maximum of 16 points per term. Credit cannot be granted for courses with grades lower than C minus. Acceptable transfer work does not usually include applied or professional courses or more than the equivalent of two Barnard studio courses. The first term of an elementary language course is not normally credited unless or until the second term or a more advanced course has been satisfactorily completed, but a student may request a single exemption to this ruling.
Pre-evaluations of transfer credit are not conducted by the College. However, admitted transfer students will receive a transfer credit evaluation with their letter of admission indicating transferable credits and satisfied 9 Ways of Knowing requirements. At this time, we do not grant transfer credit for distance learning courses. Students are advised to compare and contrast the course descriptions at their institution(s) against Barnard's online course catalogue to gain a sense of possible credit transfer outcomes. Generally, if courses taken at another institution are in alignment with courses offered at Barnard, credit is likely to be awarded but not guaranteed. Barnard College reserves the right to accept or decline transfer of credits based on its specific academic expectations.
AP or IB credits will not be considered as part of the minimum 24-credit requirement. Students may request credit for qualifying scores upon enrollment at the College.

Spring Jean-Georges Must Haves (Lunch)?
Will the menu change any time soon? I've looked through old threads, but it seems that the dishes have changed (no chateau chalon sauce fish, for example.)
People seem to love the parmesan chicken leg and the tuna ribbons... anything else that's must-have? (or must not have?)
Thanks again CH!
I do like the parmesan chicken, the foie gras prep, tuna ribbons, and scallops with caramelized cauliflower. I'd be curious to know how you like the desserts. I haven't been to JG since Johnny Iuzzini left last year.
I was at JG for lunch on Thursday. Unfortunately, on this trip that included Ai Fiori, chef's tasting at Torrisi, and tasting at Blanca, I found JG to be the least exciting meal. Although the foie gras with granola was actually the best dish I had on the trip. My main course of sea bass crusted with nuts and seeds was fine but definitely nothing special. My wife had the gnocchi as her starter and the sweetbreads as her main. I found these just ok but she liked them.
