A connection so limited between the forum and the foreign corporation, we hold, is an inadequate basis for the exercise of general jurisdiction. Such a connection does not establish the "continuous and systematic" affiliation necessary to empower North Carolina courts to entertain claims unrelated to the foreign corporation's contacts with the State.
The respondents had argued in their merits brief [text, PDF] that refusing to find jurisdiction over foreign subsidiaries of US corporations would encourage outsourcing to avoid litigation in the US. The petitioners argued [merits brief, PDF] that a finding of personal jurisdiction would invite forum shopping and deter interstate and foreign commerce. The Supreme Court did not address either of these arguments in its opinion.

Things are pretty much firing on all cylinders for St. Louis these days, while the Predators are trying to work some bad gas out of the engine.
Previous Meetings
January 21: St. Louis 4, Nashville 3 - the Preds coughed up a 3rd period lead and fell in the shootout at Bridgestone Arena.
January 24: St. Louis 3, Nashville 0 - on the second game of this current road trip, Jaroslav Halak earned the shutout.
St. Louis Blues
The Blues have had all weekend to stew over a 5-3 loss to Detroit on Friday, only their second of the season.
As noted over at St. Louis Game Time, the Preds have fared well in this series in recent years:
Nashville has the edge since the [2004-2005] lockout, winning 21 games in regulation, four in overtime and eight in shootouts, outscoring St. Louis 126 to 107. In comparison, the Blues won 11 games in regulation, 1 in overtime and 5 in shootouts. In the 50 games since the lockout, a whopping 18 (36%) have gone past regulation to determine a winner.
Oh boy, looks like we could be in for another shootout (yawn).
In goal, look for Brian Elliott to get the start, as Jaroslav Halak is out with a groin (presumably he's having a good time). Elliott had a career year in 2011-2012 with an absurd .940 save percentage (his previous best was a middling .909), so here's to hoping he looks across the ice at Pekka Rinne and remembers that indeed, he is not worthy.
While the Blues have as deep a group of talented forwards as any team in the league, the guy to watch out these days is the recently christened Rookie of the Month for January, Vladimir Tarasenko. Here's what DailyFaceoff.com has listed for their lines and d-pairings:
David Perron | David Backes | T.J. Oshie |
Andy McDonald | Alex Steen | Vladimir Tarasenko |
Vladimir Sobotka | Patrik Berglund | Chris Stewart |
Jaden Schwartz | Scott Nichol | Ryan Reaves |
Wade Redden | Alex Pietrangelo |
Barret Jackman | Kevin Shattenkirk |
Kris Russell | Roman Polak |
Nashville Predators
The Preds actually made a short stop back here in Nashville before heading out to wrap up this road trip, and will seek to build on hard-fought back-to-back shootout victories at Los Angeles and San Jose. The big question is whether Martin Erat will be ready to go, after sitting out Saturday's game with swelling in his foot after taking a shot during practice. In his absence, Sergei Kostitsyn enjoyed a promotion (which paid off with Nashville's only regulation goal), and Jon Blum got his first chance to play, as Barry Trotz went with 7 defenseman.
The 7 D situation was especially interesting, as Hal Gill focused primarily on penalty killing duties and Blum got some power play time, allowing him to put his talents to best use.
When you go back to those stats at the top of this preview, the overriding theme heading into tonight is that St. Louis is likely to dominate the shot totals heavily, leaving a heavy burden on the Preds' MVP so far, Pekka Rinne.

Not Wagging The Dog?
For example 2.1% of Exxon Mobil is owned by ETFs and 1.2% of Walmart is held by ETFs.
On the big side, 17% of Novastar is held by ETFs and 16% of Accredited Home Lenders Holding is owned by ETFs.
The list of stocks in the article where ETFs own a lot of stock are mostly small cap names while the lesser owned names are large stocks.
You can decide for yourself whether there is any dog wagging. Generally I think not.

what do you make of the pro shares action today. while the cubes are off by about half a percent, the QID is barely up and the PSQ is actually down almost as much as the cubes...
so much for a hedging mechanism. I happened to be reading their prospectus last night and while i could see the QID misbehaving i am baffled at PSQ which should be a straight short of the cubes more or less. - 12:23 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
PSQ looks to be up 0.68% per Yahoo which seems OK not sure why QID is only up 73 basis points per Yahoo. If you want to know I would suggest calling in to ProShares?
I'm not sure why it appears to be lagging to day. - 12:31 PM
- sami said...
this is really weird. yahoo shows PSQ up, but Tradestation shows it down. Ameritrade shows it down in their order ticket window but UP in their full quote screen. They all show the same price (except for yahoo being delayed) but show different up/down percentage wise...
pretty weird... - 1:02 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
so that sounds like a dissemination issue like some services including after hours versus not or the like.
- dave b said...
Have observed same. Attitude is it doesn't matter.
QID is a LT hold for me, tho painful on days.
Larger cap will be the last bastion of cover before the major trend turn. It's too early for the DXD and MZZ and SDS.
That said, I will fully load DXD, MZZ, and SDS, along with QID on the long run down. When that happens it will finally be my turn to sit back with fine wine for 4-8 years as the excess clears. I can trade the upside like a bulldog, but downside, can't flip the mentality. Let the ETFs work.
Speaking of that, I just uncorked a nice Cuvaison Cab, and will unpack some more of my move items.
- Dave B said...
Anyone but me have major, major PUTS omn the XHB? XHB is TOAST!
Also short MTG.
2%+ today. Suspect
infinity tomorrow.
- sami said...
i am not sure about the QID being a long term holding. It is designed for a double inverse of the Daily percentage move. Not the long term trend.
Thus depending on the pattern of the move in the cubes the end result maybe really weird.
They say as much in the prospectus right off the bat, with examples. Add to that costs and commissions and i am not a big fan, though i own a small position as a short term trade.
I have been trying to figure out if the PSQ is a better instrument.
One problem with PSQ is that liquidity is just a fraction of QID. If PSQ was a straight short of cubes it would be just perfect. Rather they use their own "system" of futures and margin that seems to have some of the same quirks as the QID.
As for XHB, i do not own anything there. But i had entered into AHM and NDE puts last week before the Fed Announcement. Then AHM took off on me after the announcement.
I am still holding on to both. the NDE puts are up handsomely, AHM puts are still underwater, but seems like things may change tomorrow. - 6:21 PM
- dave b said...
bpuzbuwXHB and the whole genre are toast IMHO.
It just depends on when you think the reality will sink in.
Hope my June puts are not too early. They'll buy me a nice home in the bubble areas in about 5 years when they bottom.
Otherwise, beans 'n weenies..
I know the game, and it's ugly.
And I can spell gnawing but can't type! - 7:52 PM

Starting a new site, and I was wondering if I should stick to loose HTML 4.1 (my favorite tag soup) or hop on the yet small train and start fresh with HTML 5?
Go ahead and jump in, let me know if the water is warm.
Personally I'm more interested in seeing what happens with popular CMS's that upgrade but their plugins don't all upgrade at the same time. Throw in a sprinkle of database changes and I'd expect many thigs to be achtung for a little while, not because of HTML5 but because many sites will mix the two.

It can be hard to see racism if you're white
I work very hard. My parents worked hard. Everything I have is because we all worked for it, right?
I work very hard. My parents worked hard. Everything I have is because we all worked for it, right?
I was raised to believe that. And I do believe it. But about six years ago I saw a video that opened my eyes to the possibility there may be other ingredients to success.
It was after worship services at First United Methodist Church one Sunday. A bunch of us — all white, educated, and, I daresay, comfortable — watched a video. In it, people of all races stood in a line in the middle of a room. The leader of the group asked several questions, telling people to respond by moving forward or stepping back. She said step back if you had ever been followed around a store. Step forward if you expect to inherit at least a little money when your parents die. Step back if you've ever been denied housing because of your race. Step back if you worried that your hairstyle was too "ethnic" for an employer or if you've ever been stopped for driving your car in the wrong neighborhood.
As I watched the video, I realized that even though I have worked hard most of my life, I've never had to put up with problems like that. I've felt accepted no matter where I went, and if I didn't, it wasn't because of my race.
I realized that even though my father had literally put blood, sweat and tears into farming land in southwestern Minnesota, that had he been Native American or African American his parents probably wouldn't have even owned land in the first place. And my life would have been much different.
I've never really felt that I had special privileges. I thought I just had what was fair. Life hasn't always been easy for me. I've had a brush of life in poverty and other negative things to knock me down. While I was living in poverty, I thought I'd never dig myself out of the hole, but I did. And the truth is, if I had been born African American or Native American and worked just as hard as I have worked, I may not have had the same opportunities to do so. This is white privilege.
On Tuesday, I attended a press conference in the Mayor's Reception Room at Duluth City Hall for the announcement of the Unfair Campaign. Some 15 organizations have come together to show that it's hard to see racism when you are white and that people of color in Duluth experience incidents of racism every day.
Mayor Don Ness likened racism in Duluth to a windy day.
"On a windy day in January, if you're walking downtown and if the wind is at your back, it propels you along," he said. "It's still cold out, but it's a little easier to walk. And yet if you turn around, it's still the same day but the wind is in your face. It's all you can think about."
Carl Crawford, Intercultural Center coordinator at Lake Superior College, looked out into the audience and said that many of the attendees were his friends. His frankness was that of a good friend who needs to tell you something difficult but truthful.
"This conversation is long overdue. Long overdue," he said, going into how many African Americans feel when they go shopping in Duluth.
"We know what we feel when we come into certain places. It's here. We live it, we breathe it, we feel it.
"I've been black all my life and I'm very proud of that," he continued. "But part of that you need to understand is that I can't change my skin color like my coat and walk back into your store and hope that I'm going to be treated differently when I've already had a negative experience."
He asked that people use the tools of the Unfair Campaign and take the talk out of the classroom and into your kitchen. And out of the kitchen and into the workplace; out of the workforce and into the church.
I took my talk to the kitchen to my husband. It was difficult. We talked about the things we were raised to believe, not just by our parents, but by osmosis by just living as whites. Some of it is ugly.
My husband told me about some of the feelings that go through his mind even though he knows they are wrong. And I had to admit to myself that while driving at night and coming to a stop sign and seeing black men standing at the corner, I've clicked the power switch to lock the doors. Was I racist? Was I just being careful? Would I have done it if the men had been white? These are questions we need to ask ourselves and our friends.
Over the next few months, you will be seeing billboards and posters in Duluth to help you ask those questions. Use that awareness to talk to your friends and family. It may be uncomfortable, but it's something we all must do so if we are to enjoy our beautiful city on the lake — equally.

What individuals can do to further their understanding of white privilege and structural racism
The following is from the www.Unfaircampaign.org website:
"Doing the work" is about understanding structural racism and
analyzing the systems we work and live in to look for the characteristic
of structural racism. It also entails developing the willingness to
continuously evaluate our own actions and seeing that they align with our intents, e.g.: "I don't intend to take advantage of my white privilege, but I don't address it or attempt to change it when I identify it."
It also means dedicating ourselves to being in authentic relationships with people of different races and ethnicities.
The following are a few things to keep in mind in doing our personal work:
our intent (walking the walk);
consistently act to address racial inequities

Moderate Muslim Watch: How the Term "Islamophobia" Got Shoved Down Your Throat
Salim Mansur, about whom I've been meaning to write for some time, kindly sent me a link to his interview with the Investigative Project on Terror:
Mansur, a Muslim born in India, made a powerful case that the U.S. government and Western mainstream media ignore the real danger to Muslims around the world: terror, intimidation, repression and genocide committed by their fellow Muslims.
The point he makes next is one I make all the time, though I have the sense I'm shouting into a wind tunnel:
The U.S. government and the media help facilitate this skewing of priorities, Mansur said, one which benefits Islamists at the expense of ordinary Muslims.
The Obama Administration is sending "a confused message," by courting Islamist groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) while shutting out non-Islamist Muslims.
According to Mansur, these groups, frequently quoted in the media as representatives of American Muslims, are often linked with radical organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood. As a result, Americans haven't heard "clear, unambiguous, categorical" denunciations of suicide bombings from U.S. Muslim organizations attacks since September 11. These Muslim groups have also failed to speak out clearly against Sharia and the repression of women in the Islamic world.
"Neither CAIR nor ISNA–nor any of the other [Islamist] organizations, as far as I know, have come out and said that we as Muslims in the West have a different perspective on the question of Sharia…and we're going to revise it," he said.
Most Americans, I think, will recognize the name CAIR. The rest form something of an acrostic soup in their minds, though they should be household names--kind of like the TSA, another acronym for which we can ultimately thank the same people.
Genuinely moderate Muslims (once again, yes, they exist, and yes, there are many of them) are struggling desperately to make themselves heard over the roar made by these groups, which are lavishly funded by the Saudis and connected--ideologically, historically, and financially--to the most despicable extremists in the Islamic world. The extremists to whom they're connected, not to put too fine a point on it, want Muslims like Salim Mansur dead. They want you dead, too. And these groups have succeeded in setting the political and cultural agenda in the West to a degree that should shock any thinking person.
The word "Islamophobia" is a nice example. Many of you, I'm sure, have felt a wash of annoyance upon hearing the word used to dismiss your concerns about what are obviously very real pathologies in the Islamic world. I find myself particularly vexed when the word is applied to me; for God's sake, I'm sitting here in the heart of a city of 20 million Muslims, why would I be here if Islam itself gave me the vapors? The phrase "some of my best friends are Muslims" is more than a cliche in my case; most of my best friends are Muslims, all of my neighbors are Muslims, and the way I live my life would make no sense at all if I had a phobia--an "irrational intense fear" as the dictionary has it, one characterized by an "excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared stimulus"--of Islam. I'd be like an arachnophobe hanging out in the woodpile, now, wouldn't I?
I have a rational fear, however, of political Islam, particularly the Wahhabi and Iranian revolutionary strains, which pose a very real threat not only to me and to the West, but--as Mansur very correctly points out--an even greater threat to my friends and neighbors.
Now here's a point you might deeply consider: The neologism "Islamophobia" did not simply emerge ex nihilo. It was invented, deliberately, by a Muslim Brotherhood front organization, the International Institute for Islamic Thought, which is based in Northern Virginia. If that name dimly rings a bell, it should: I've mentioned it before, and it's particularly important because it was co-founded by Anwar Ibrahim--the hero of Moderate Islam who is now trotting around the globe comparing his plight to that of Aung San Suu Kyi.
Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a former member of the IIIT who has renounced the group in disgust, was an eyewitness to the creation of the word. "This loathsome term," he writes,
is nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics.
In another article concerning the many moderate Muslims whose voices have been drowned out by Saudi-financed Muslim Brotherhood front groups, Muhammad describes the strategy behind the word's invention:
In an effort to silence critics of political Islam, advocates needed to come up with terminology that would enable them to portray themselves as victims. Muhammad said he was present when his then-allies, meeting at the offices of the International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT) in Northern Virginia years ago, coined the term "Islamophobia."
Muhammad said the Islamists decided to emulate the homosexual activists who used the term "homophobia" to silence critics. He said the group meeting at IIIT saw "Islamophobia" as a way to "beat up their critics."
Really imagine that scene: a bunch of Islamists admiring how astutely the queers--people who in their ideal world would be served with the lash or hanged--had portrayed their critics as mentally disturbed. Brilliant. Let's take a leaf from them and then kill them. The association of anti-Islamism--the noblest form of liberal anti-totalitarianism--with gay-bashing rednecks in the grip of a psychosexual panic was not just one of those linguistic accidents of history, in other words. These guys were sitting there in Virginia and really thinking about the best way to exploit the weaknesses of the Western psyche. They came up with this word--and admit it, it's clever; I challenge you to find a better one if you want to yank the West's chain--and they marketed it with petrodollars, and now it truly does drive public discourse and policy the world over. I was asked when I was recently on a Turkish television news show whether the Tea Party was "Islamophobic." That's what they're hearing here in Turkey, thanks to the IIIT. It's not an indigenous Turkish concept, I assure you.
The fact that the IIIT was co-founded by Anwar Ibrahim, who is now on trial for sodomy--something of a homophobic charge, that--would be almost hilarious in its just-deserts irony if Anwar hadn't succeeded in portraying himself as the moderate darling of Muslim moderation whose plight should now trouble the liberal conscience of the West, no matter his own role in exploiting it. Read the linked interview in full, if you have the time, and consider its many implications. Put your favorite parts in the comment thread.
This is another case--like the revelation that we've poured money into "secret" negotiations with some schmuck pretending to represent the Taliban--where our foreign policy incompetence is almost unimaginable. (It's perfectly understandable to me when Turks say to me that this must all be an elaborate conspiracy and subterfuge, since everyone knows Americans aren't that stupid. If only they were right.)
So Anwar Ibrahim-- our moderate man in moderate Malaysia--is the moderate man behind this Orwellian effort to render the West incapable of objecting even verbally to political Islam. The gift of "Islamophobia" is just the beginning of the story. Researcher Rachel Ehrenfeld has written an outstanding investigative report about Anwar and the support he's received in the West. It's enough to make you weep.
She sent it to me in PDF form. I've read it. It is long, and it requires patience--she's combed through a tremendous amount of documentary evidence, court filings, financial records, tax returns; she's laboriously traced the whole sad sordid network. It probably represents months of research on her end. It took me a few hours carefully to read it. By the end you're not in much doubt.
But you have to be willing to spend a few hours reading really to grasp the situation--and apparently, the world's a bit short on time and just not that curious. Easier just to take Paul Wolfowitz's word for it: Anwar is "one of the most wonderful human beings in public life anywhere," he gushes. It's men like him, he says, "who will lead change throughout the Muslim world." Unfortunately, at this rate, he's right.
Where is Ehrenfeld's report, you ask? Where can you read it? You can't. It's never been published. Not much of a market for that kind of work, I'm afraid. Too Islamophobic.

It's a shame Anwar Ibrahim is not what he (and the media) portrays himself to be--a true moderate Muslim. The guy got beaten up and went to jail because he clashed with former Malaysian PM Mahathir Mohammed. Thought that he gained enough street cred with that.

Why is it a shame for a guy not to turn out to be the delusional fantasy of the media and to act like the sociopath he really is? I think it is a shame that the media and political leaders do not focus on truly moderate Muslims and cater to these socio- or psycho-paths just because that is what the Saudi/Arab money guides them to.

This is at least as frightening as the numerous attempted Islamist attacks here since 9/11. It's easy to forget that people who want us dead or kneeling spend huge sums of money to that end every day. I assumed "Islamophobia" was an invention of some talking head which immediately took hold throughout American media as the perfect PC explanation for a perfectly un-PC subject. As you've said, the truth is far worse.
As for Ehrenfeld's report... surely Rob can give you the number of someone at Encounter Books!

I don't see much creativity here- all they did was copy the US media's oldest tactic- e.g., "homophobe", etc.
But, I wonder when we will find a Muslim government with enough intestinal fortitude to fund guys like this to get their message out?
And people here wonder why I am into promoting fuels alternatives to put the Saudis out of the financial angel missionary business.

Hmm. Tech issues still. My original message was eaten by Internet fairies and disappeared from the local page cache.
Those of use that wished the Bush Administration well in the war on terror were dismayed when CAIR was foisted on the FBI and other law enforcement by the White House as experts on dealing with the Muslim community, positioning them as the identity politics face of the Muslim community along the lines of an NAACP or a NOW. At the same time, investigations within the FBI were turning up operational connections between CAIR, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and other international bad actors. The news shot of W walking, literally hand in hand, across the lawn with Saud was a very uncomfortable foreshadow of the bowing Obama ugliness.
Thanks for the fresh perspective, Claire. There are not very many in the international press with the journalistic chops to keep the players straight and the integrity to tell the story publicly.

I long for the day that news organizations (from the NY Times, WAPO, and even Fox News) stop referring to CAIR as a Muslim civil rights organization. After reading Gaubatz and Sperry's Muslim Mafia, I'm appalled that CAIR and ISNA are still held up as respectable rather than repugnant and reprehensible organizations. It's so obvious when being interviewed on television that when faced with a tough question their immediate tactic is to dodge, deflect and accuse the interviewer or the American people at large as anti-Muslim or Islamophobic. Will we ever see a FRONTLINE exposé on these groups? Or a Fox in-depth report? Will Congresswoman Sue Myrick be able to open a congressional investigation on them? Will the FBI be called to explain how a Hamas fund raiser was granted access to their top secret anti-terrorist headquarters? Will the administration explain how Obama can sit down at a White House dinner with the president of ISNA, an organization named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding trial? To hear true moderate Muslims we need to deny these foreign agencies the privilege of spewing their insidious propaganda.

Tips for Quiltersby Rachel Thomas Pellman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In a remote canyon in northern New Mexico the early morning stillness is broken by voices chanting praises to the Lord. And thus begins the daily cycle in the Godcentered life and search of the Benedictine monks at the Monastery of Christ in the Desert.Seeking God is a monastic tapestry. The daily life of the monks is interwoven with the seasonal changes and celebrations and the candid words of the monks as they speak of their life their hopes and doubts their hardships fears and joys their prayer. Weaving this tapestry together are the hauntingly beautiful chants songs of praise and reverence that echo through the darkness before dawn throughout the day through the solemnity of Vespers in the evening and Compline at night. The majestic beauty of the environment captured in every season reflects a peace and tranquility that becomes an integral part of this monastic tapestry. The high red rock walls of the canyon where eagles fly cradle the valley whose stillness is broken only by the flowing waters of the Chama River and the winds that occasionally funnel through. Seeking God presents the ongoing process of the monastic way through the words and activities of these Benedictine monks as they move through the day and through the seasons in their search for God through prayer work study and song.

THE MORE effective surprise for the Mountaineers was going for it as much as they did on fourth down. They'd been 0-for-4 in the first four games, but were 5-for-5 against Texas.
There were two conversions in the first quarter, one in the second and two in the fourth.
"I would like to go for it on fourth down," Smith said. "Obviously, that one of those things where I can't call it. It's up to Coach Holgorsen. I love the fact he trusts us enough to leave us out on the field on fourth down in medium- or short-yardage situations, especially with the game on the line."
There were three fourth downs when Holgorsen didn't go for the first down. Kicker Tyler Bitancurt was 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts. He had a 42-yard attempt blocked on WVU's second drive, but made a 37-attempt in the second quarter. His 41-yard field goal at the end of the half was on third down.
Bitancurt also had a punt blocked at his 24-yard line in the second quarter.
Holgorsen decided to go for it in Texas territory all five times and each was between the 48 and 20. The five conversions came on three touchdown drives.
"With our offense, I do like our changes to convert a lot of those situations, but it all depends where you are on the field," receiver Stedman Bailey said. "It could be a big momentum shift if you don't get it, especially in an environment like Texas.
"That would pretty much rev their fans up and make them go crazy, which would make it hard on our defense. If you do get it, it's kind of like, I don't know, a slap in their face. I'm for it, but like I said, it all depends on where you are on the field."
* * *
THE WVU defense ranks No. 37 nationally against the run and gives up 124 yards per game. The 2.91 yards per carry is No. 13 - and that includes 20, 20, 24 and 49 yard runs in the first five games. Those are the only runs of 20 or more yards allowed in 213 attempts and they add up to 18 percent of the 620 yards allowed all season.
One big reason for WVU's success is 6-foot-4, 310-pound nose guard Shaw Rowell, who's already played more than twice the number of snaps he played all of last season. He was solid in the middle against Texas, but had a close call before the game - one he won't discuss.
"He cut his leg before the game," defensive coordinator Joe DeForest said. "He did something in the locker room and had to have it stitched up, but he said he was OK and he could play - and he played really well for us."

By Larri Jo StarkeyThe American Quarter Horse JournalJuly 6, 2012
Foremans Pick and Chance O'Neal win the ranch remuda competition July 6 at Battle in the Saddle in Oklahoma City. (Larri Jo Starkey photo) To see more photos from the competition, scroll to the bottom.
Ten talented American Quarter Horses took to the show pen July 6 for the finals of the ranch remuda competition at Battle in the Saddle in Oklahoma City. Fifth in the draw, Foremans Pick entered the pen with Chance O'Neal aboard. Chance showed the 2008 sorrel gelding at the inaugural AQHA Ranching Heritage Challenge in January in Fort Worth, Texas, finishing third for Burnett Ranches of Guthrie, Texas, which bred the horse. The horse had been injured during the fall, and Chance had only been riding him two weeks before the January show. This time, he and "Striker" were a more seasoned team. "We've been riding him out there on the ranch," Chance said. "(We) have been serious in the practice pen, we've been showing him more this spring, and he's matured more in the show pen." That maturity showed as the two of them scored a 431 to win the ranch remuda competition. Foremans Pick is by Sixes Pick and out of Miss Holly Tip by San Tip. "I rode and showed his daddy a few years ago," Chance said of Sixes Pick, the first AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse open world champion. "This horse here, since I've been riding him, has a lot of the same characteristics of his daddy, and I see his daddy in him on all the things we do. To get to ride a son of his and be able to go out and win on him, I like that. That's pretty special for me."
Chance's win was the second. He claimed the 2011 ranch remuda victory on Royalty Return, another Burnett Ranches horse.
Ending up second was Chic Boots, a 2007 sorrel mare by Smart Chic Olena-Smoke My Boots by Doc O Boots. She was bred and is owned by the W.T. Waggoner Estate Ranch of Vernon, Texas. "She stopped big and turned good and circled good each way (in the reining)," said rider Ben Baldus. "We had a late lead change from left to right, which is surprising to me. She's usually really good in leads, but stopped good the rest of the run and I was happy with that. She was really good with her cow work. She was strong down the fence, and the boxing was good." Finishing third was Seven S Party Girl, owned by Terry Stuart Forst of Waurika, Oklahoma, and shown by Robert Forst. Robert and "Party Girl" were first in the open division of the Ranching Heritage Challenge in January. Robert was pleased with his horse's performance.

Tip of the Month
5/9/2011 Camping with your pet As the summer season approaches, many Americans are looking forward to long weekends spent outdoors at a campsite. While we enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery of the many state parks and mountain recreation areas, veterinarians and veterinary assistants recommend taking a few extra considerations if you plan on bringing your four-legged friend with you for the adventure. Exercise Is your dog an experienced trail hound? Even big sporting breeds like Labrador retrievers may not be physically fit enough to handle an 8-hour hike over rough or steep terrain. Get your dog used to longer walks and increase physical activity gradually. If your dog isnt experienced or physically active enough to maneuver through areas which may require jumping or climbing, start working on these skills before your trip to decrease the risk of serious knee or ligament injuries. Heat While you are on the trail, monitor your dog for signs of exhaustion. You do not want to end up carrying your 60+ pound dog back to the campsite! As physical activity increases, water requirements increase as well, so remember to bring plenty of water for both of you and avoid hiking during the hottest part of the day. Wildlife There are many threats to your dogs health in the great outdoors. Aside from the obvious dangers like snakes, there are many invisible threats. Drinking from streams and rivers is a common cause of Giardiasis in dogs, and in many areas, deer ticks carry Lyme disease. Sharp rocks can cut paw pads. Thorns and foxtails can easily become embedded into the skin, mouth, ears and eyes. It is a good idea to pack a small pet first aid kit along with your own first aid kit when preparing for your trip. Work on basic obedience commands (I.e. sit, stay, and come) and consult your local veterinarian for recommendations about any special vaccines or preventative medications to help protect your dog while camping. Know where the closest veterinary hospital is and keep the phone number of your local veterinary assistant handy, just in case an emergency arises.

Canada-based RBC Capital Markets has finished top of the Australia Announced M&A League Table for the first half of 2012 owing to the 1 billion Australian dollar (US$1 billion) merger between gold miners St Barbara and Allied Gold Mining, announced on the last business day of the period.
"It's an outstanding result for RBC considering the challenging environment," RBC Capital Markets Managing Director Dominic Hudson told Deal Journal Australia.
"Our results show the commitment of our bank in Australia," he added, noting the team had made key hires in the past seven months including Managing Directors Matt Cordingley and Rob Thomson who cover infrastructure and equity capital markets, respectively.
"It's a great result given we cover only three sectors; mining and metals, oil and gas and infrastructure," RBC Capital Markets Managing Director Richard Barker said. "It demonstrates the depth of our expertise in those sectors."
By June 30 last year, deals worth a combined US$100.3 billion had been announced compared to US$58.2 billion in 2012 to date. Goldman Sachs finished the 2011 half year in first place, followed by UBS, J.P.Morgan, Moelis & Co. and Morgan Stanley. Gresham Partners, Lazard and Barclays were also in the top 10.
In completed M&A for the first six months of 2012, Goldman Sachs secured the top spot by closing 19 deals worth US$24.5 billion. This time last year, the Wall Street bank had closed 21 deals worth A$27.3 billion, but was ranked fourth behind UBS, Macquarie Group and Deutsche Bank.
Total completed M&A as at June 29 was US$65 billion compared to US$115.3 billion this time last year.
"Announced deal volumes have obviously fallen significantly and the types of transactions in the year to date also reflect the challenging macro environment we're in," Goldman Sachs Co-Head of M&A Ruben Bhagobati told Deal Journal Australia.
Mr. Bhagobati said a number of the larger deals this year were sales of minority investments, joint ventures, or where the bidder had a pre-existing stake. Two examples of the latter include AGL Energy's purchase of Loy Yang and News Corp.'s proposed takeover offer for Consolidated Media. News Corp. owns The Wall Street Journal.
"Lower-risk deals reflect caution being exercised by boards and management even where they have sufficient confidence in their own performance, outlook and financial capacity to transact" he said.
Australia is the top Asia Pacific (ex. Japan) target nation for inbound investment, with 127 deals worth US$23 billion, according to Dealogic.
But minimal outbound cross-border M&A is another indicator of risk aversion, said Mr. Bhagobati.
Looking ahead to the next six months, he said the longer current conditions persist, the more strategic and financially sound companies would consider whether to take advantage of market uncertainty and move on opportunities with strong industrial logic.
"The chance of competition from other buyers is probably lower than it might be in more buoyant markets and shareholders are also showing a propensity to accept cash offers at attractive premiums to depressed share prices but arguably below historical measures of fair value," he explained.
Mr. Bhagobati added that companies trading at measures seemingly dislocated from fair value were often looking to their advisors to help understand their possible vulnerability as takeover targets and taking appropriate steps to prepare for such eventualities.
Freehills, Ashurst and Allens are the top three M&A law firms based on deal values in the year to date, according to Dealogic.
Dealogic's preliminary financial advisor league tables as at June 29, 2012 are below:

The 'Cats aren't just here; they're here to stay. Put on your smoking jacket, grab a glass of sherry from the butler, and step into the Northwestern lounge. Welcome to a world where everything's coming up purple.
There's a reason I picked this article to write. No coaching change, suckers! Guess who phoned it in this week?
Who are the smartest guys in the room at Northwestern? Looking at Pat Fitzgerald and his coordinators with a shoutout to the late great MCA.
Until now, it has been reported that Michigan merely made a third-party inquiry to Fitzgerald. The reality is that Michigan's interest in Fitzgerald was so sincere, representatives of the school laid out salary parameters, according to sources. [...] Fitzgerald, 36 with three kids and a $2.3 million home in Northfield, is not driven by money, those close to him say. He showed that by declining to interview with Michigan officials, who were willing to meet him in Texas or wherever he wished. Had negotiations ensued, Michigan likely would have offered around $3 million, according to sources.
Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune on Michigan's offer to Pat Fitzgerald. I really didn't think the offer had been that serious. Incredible. The rest of the article is interesting, too, for NU fans.Summation: Northwestern football in the Aughts
At the end of the day, I think we're all competing to improve. We're proud of the fact that we've won three Big Ten Championships since '95. That's third-best in the league in that time period. We've consistently been improving. We're a couple games short of being .500 overall record. I think we're 82 and 78 or something like that in that time during the regular season. When I was being recruited back in '93 they said that never would have happen... Obviously we've changed the attitude and tides here in the Big Ten, and that's by recruiting the right fit and right quality young men and tremendous support from the University and our fans and alumni. I think we're just scratching the surface.

Breaking down the fundamental snap and release mechanics of Indiana's Ben Chappell.
There has been much huffing and puffing about how this academic driven school that endured an infamous 34 game losing streak has the capability to be a Big 10 power. Enough of the backhanded compliments - Can Northwestern consistently field winning teams? Did Fitzgerald hit his ceiling at 9-4? Can he top that?
