Russian and CIS automotive industry
Integrated services for automotive manufacturers, suppliers and retailers
Today's automotive industry is affected by many trends. Governments are tempering the need for revenue with increased competition for labor and capital. Tax authorities are adapting their enforcement strategies, focus and policies in response to the changing dynamics of business. Companies are balancing competing priorities, ensuring they maintain compliance while adding value.
Through EY's Global Automotive Center, we can assist you with these critical issues. Our 7,000 automotive-focused professionals collaborate and share knowledge around the world, to provide consistent, high-quality service to our automotive clients.
Our involvement in the CIS automotive industry
We have a strong commitment to the automotive industry, with a focus on developing long-term relationships with the organizations which make this industry grow:
- We are a member of the Association of Russian Automotive Dealers (ROAD).
- We founded a working group (Automotive Task Force) within the Foreign Investment Advisory Council (FIAC) to develop an automotive agenda to support foreign automotive investment in Russia.
Key issues in today's automotive environment include:
- Mega trends impacting the next decade
The global recession reset the automotive industry landscape. As the industry recovers, automotive companies across the value chain must focus on:
- profitable and sustainable growth
- financial and operational flexibility
- investments in new technologies
- seizing opportunities in high-growth markets
Automotive companies should ask themselves the following five questions to help prepare for the next decade.
- How will products need to adapt?
- How will business models need to adapt?
- What are the new market dynamics?
- What are the supply/value chain issues and implications?
- How will demand for vehicles and mobility evolve?
When we thought about the possible ways automakers could answer these questions, those answers led us to identify eight mega trends shaping the industry over the next decade. Knowing more about these mega trends can help you understand how your business can leverage opportunities in the industry.
Related materials:
- Electric vehicles and alternative technologies
The growing interest in alternative powertrain technologies, especially the increased electrification of vehicles, is affecting the entire automotive industry value chain and creating new mobility trends involving several new, non-automotive stakeholders.
Existing vehicle manufacturers (VMs) are adding alternatively powered vehicles to their product line-ups, such as plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles, while new market entrants are using transformation of mobility drivers as their door into the automotive industry.
Our Advanced Mobility Group is poised to help automotive companies navigate this transformation, including assistance with investment decision support, business process change, strategy and increased collaboration.
Increasing your understanding of new opportunities is our goal. In addition to traditional automotive companies, we also work with:
- Cities looking for a sustainable EV infrastructure strategy
- Policy-makers designing EV industry support mechanisms to jump-start the market
- Utilities looking for new revenue streams and greater client engagement
- Companies that need business valuations for EV-related assets
- Fleet managers evaluating new powertrain architecture
- Finance executives assessing the tax and finance implications of leasing EVs
- Manufacturers looking for government incentives for R&D and other projects
- Entrepreneurs trying to craft a winning business model
- VMs fine-tuning their downstream strategy

- Rapid-response guidance on current events
In moments of crisis or unforeseen transitions, it's important to have a support network to turn to for guidance. From natural disasters to company mergers and changes in tax regulations, automotive companies are not immune to the effects of the unexpected.
Our global automotive analysts continuously monitor the industry's ecosystem to identify events that pose significant uncertainty - in terms of opportunities or risk - and assess potential outcomes and implications for stakeholders.
Turn to us for industry specific rapid response guidance when you're faced with unexpected changes.

PETALING JAYA: The Sultan of Johor has won the tender for the much sought after car number plate WWW 1, with the highest bid of RM 520,000.
Sultan Ibrahim Ismail Sultan Iskandar topped 9,999 other bidders including the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, who won the number plate WWW 5.
The results of the tender are available on the Road Transport Department (JP) website.
On Thursday, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha announced that WWW 1 had set an all-time high bid.
The number surpassed the record set by "MCA 1" in 2010 which was sold for RM300,100.
The bidding for the highly-coveted vehicle registration prefix started on April 30 and ended on May 14.
During the period, thousands thronged the three Kuala Lumpur JPJ branches to place their bids for the "WWW" prefix, which is the acronym for "World Wide Web".

I'm experiencing a possible bug in LWUIT ContextMenu in Asha 501. When there are any commands in a form except the Back command, the LWUIT ContextMenu simply doesn't work (it shows for a split second and hides immediately). This is tested with the latest SDK in the emulator and on a real device with the following code:
It there any workaround about this? Because this makes impossible to have form commands and context menu in the same form, which is a pretty big problem.Code:protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException { Display.init(this); final Form form = new Form("ContextMenu test"); Command exitCommand = new Command("Exit") { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { notifyDestroyed(); } }; // If the following two lines are commented out, the ContextMenu works form.addCommand(new Command("help")); form.addCommand(new Command("about")); form.setBackCommand(exitCommand); form.addComponent(new Button(new Command("ctx menu") { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { Display.getInstance().callSerially(new Runnable() { public void run() { Command[] cmd = new Command[2]; cmd[0] = new Command("Menu item one"); cmd[1] = new Command("Menu item two"); ContextMenu.show(cmd, form); } }); } })); form.show(); }
Best regards!

The Harvest Picnic was created by Stephanie Alexander as a focus for 1988's Bicentennial Celebrations. The format changed over time to include more entertainment, and cooking demonstrations, and we've now been promoting regional food, wine and entertainment in a relaxed family-friendly way through the Harvest Picnic for 25 years. Developed as a festival to celebrate quality produce, it welcomed small-scale producers to the market and it became quite a fixture on the calendar for food-lovers.
So, why is the picnic winding up? Well, times have changed. Victoria's events calendar is now rich with food festivals, weekly and monthly farmers' markets and many sophisticated food and wine events and master classes. Sponsorship is a difficult market to crack too. This year, we said a sad goodbye to The Age, our long-standing naming rights partner. In this difficult and challenging economic environment, we have not been able to fill this significant gap, and it signaled the end of the Harvest Picnic. We won't wind up the business immediately – the plan is to leave it 'on the shelf' for 18 months, and see if any opportunities present themselves over that time. We are set up as a not-for-profit organisation, and have the staff, database, contacts and infrastructure ready to go should something arise. The only (somewhat vital!) thing missing at this stage is the funding.
We've had the privilege of loyal support from so many partners over our years of operation. We'd like to take the opportunity to thank all who have been involved including The Age, Macedon Ranges Shire Council, Tourism Victoria, Neff, Parks Victoria, Wyndham City Council, and KitchenAid too. We've also worked with a number of exceptional volunteer organisations, in particular, Rotary and the CFA.
The ongoing popularity of the picnic was due to the enthusiasm of our innovative and exceptional exhibitors. Some of our exhibitors have been with us from the beginning, and there are those who have just joined our team. Working closely with passionate exhibitors, seeing them grow and develop from one picnic to the next, watching many enjoy great success and some breaking into the export market has been incredibly rewarding.
Each year, a whole tribe of visitors would embark upon their big day at the picnic. We'd stand in wonder as we watched visitors roll up with wheelbarrows brimming with chairs, umbrellas, tables, even the odd vase of flowers! Everything they needed to make themselves a home away from home at Hanging Rock.
I'd like to thank all of the board members too, past and present, for all of the energy, ideas and effort they put in to the Harvest Picnic. The current board members are Danielle Cameron, Jim Irwin, George McMaster, and Michelle Potts. Previous members include Rita Erlich, Katie Batzias, Don Larkin, Paris Singer, Jennifer Burwood, Robyn Aumann, and many more from the earlier years. Gail Thomas, while not a board member, deserves a special mention. After being on the organising committee for the first few years, she did not miss one Harvest Picnic, and often sent interesting new exhibitors our way.
My colleague Kate Dema was so delightful to work with, and I wish her well in the future. I'll also miss dealing with the many suppliers who worked hard to make the picnic a success too. The team who worked at each event were wonderful; Robert Cudmore, Arni Sleeman, Jo Richardson, Julianne Hearn, Gabriele Spiering, Guido Bigolin, Patricia and Mark from Excel Events, Olivia Spalding – all so reliable and just knew what to do.
On a personal note, I have thoroughly enjoyed my last 15 years, pulling together all the different facets of the Harvest Picnic, and February just won't be the same anymore! I have made many friends through my work at the Harvest Picnic Foundation, and I hope that our paths will cross again.
Kind regards
Kirsty Hunt I Executive Officer I Harvest Picnic Foundation

When the St. Louis Rams lost Danny Amendola for an indefinite time frame with his dislocated elbow, there was some concern as to who Sam Bradford would find on a regular basis. Amendola developed into a bit of a security blanket for Bradford in his solid rookie season.
Enter Mike Sims-Walker, stage right. Although the St. Louis Rams took one on the chin Monday night against the New York Giants, Sam Bradford connected early and fairly often with Sims-Walker. While Danario Alexander did lead the team in receiving yards MSW was the more frequent target as Bradford looked his way 11 times. MSW finished with six receptions for 92 yards and for the foreseeable future looks to be the go-to guy in St. Louis.
That may not say a lot about St. Louis, bit if Mike Sims-Walker is getting the receptions, he could finally meet the expectations that have been on fantasy owners minds for the last four seasons. He struggled with only one reception for five yards in week one so we'll have to wait and see how much consistency he develops. For now he is a decent injury and bye week guy with some flex role potential. Someone owns him in your league and if it's you, he's worth at least sitting on to see if he can develop some consistency.

These are the full court documents retrieved by 8News Investigative Reporter A.J. Lagoe, in his report on "robo-signing," a form of mortgage fraud here in Virginia.
Read the court petition HERE
Read the final judgement HERE
RICHMOND, VA—We've called it "Grand Theft House" for the past two years.
8News Investigative reporter AJ Lagoe has been exposing robo-signing—a form of mortgage fraud in the commonwealth.
Today a $120 million multi-state settlement was reached with the company behind much of the fraud we brought to light.
Virginia is set to receive $3.5 million as part of the multi-state robo-signing settlement reached today with the company behind thousands of bogus signatures and notarizations that appeared on foreclosures used to take Virginians homes away from them.
"I collapsed— I just couldn't believe I just lost my home," said Ester Ramierez, a foreclosure victim.
"I didn't have any idea that anything of this nature was going on," said Mary Mitchell, a robo-signing victim.
8News exposed fraudulent foreclosure papers. The name Linda Green can be found signed to countless mortgage documents we found in area courthouses. She's listed under a number of titles, allegedly working of numerous banks.
But look at the signatures. You don't have to be a handwriting expert to see they were not signed by the same person. That makes them fraudulent.
8News found more than 20 different variations of the Linda Green signature in courthouses right here in the Metro-Richmond area—prime examples of what's known as robo-signing—a fancy phrase for fraud and perjury on legal mortgage papers.
"This was a widespread national conspiracy," said state senator Chap Peterson.
The company at the center of the national conspiracy Peterson is referring to is Processing Services Inc., and it's subsidiaries that include DOCX.
Many of America's biggest banks hired outside parties, such as DOCX to manufacture documents during the housing bubble.
They often signed papers without ever looking at them using fake titles and names such as Linda Green, and Linda Green is certainly not the only questionable signature used.
Our investigation uncovered dozens of different robo-signed names on thousands of mortgages here in Central Virginia.
Take a look at this—here's at least four different variations of the signature for a Korell Harp, who if all these papers are to be believes is a vice president of SunTrust, American Home Mortgaging, Option One Mortgage and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc, aka Mers—all at the same time, this bogus paperwork was then used to foreclose on families homes.
"It was basically fraud, they were fraudulently foreclosing on people," said Jay Speers, from the Virginia poverty law center.
Speaking of this robo-signing settlement, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli issued a statement saying LPS Engaged in the worst form of robo-signing, broke state notary laws and undermined the trust of many in the foreclosure process. He adds such conduct will not be tolerated.
It remains to be seen what Virginia will do with the $3.5 million it's receiving from the settlement.

Dr. Ambuj Goyal is one of IBM's heavy hitters. A 25-year IBM veteran who joined the company as a researcher at the T. J. Watson Research Center, Goyal did early work in scalable databases that laid the technology groundwork for DB2, then led the research effort to create the Deep Blue chess computer. In 1996, Goyal was elevated to be vice president, servers and software, and director, computer sciences, where he set IBM's long-term research direction and oversaw the work of 1,500 researchers worldwide.
Now, as general manager of information management in the IBM Software Group, Goyal ensures the success of IBM's Information On Demand initiative and its constellation of products. But in a recent interview with InfoWorld Executive Editor at Large Eric Knorr, Goyal still sounded like a scientist, expounding on the nature of information vs. data and the unique position IBM's new Information Server occupies in the history of computing.
InfoWorld: Consolidating, reconciling, and delivering information strikes me as one of the most difficult problems in IT.
AmbujGoyal: This problem has existed for 20 years. When I was doing the announcement for Information Server last October, I talked about an inflection point that has come in information management. This is similar to an inflection point that occurred in 1996 when there were many techniques to create Web sites or do Web-based business: Java Virtual Machines, HTTP servers, commerce engines. There were many different techniques. A few companies created a concept called a Web application server, IBM's being WebSphere. So if you wanted to leverage Web technologies to improve your business or do Web programming, you just get started with a Web application server.
We are at a similar inflection point in 2006. We have myriads of techniques – metadata management, ETL (extraction, transformation, and loading) tools, data creation tools, Federation tools, cleansing tools, profiling tools. People use these tools to solve the information challenge. The application server had a foundation, which was JVM. Information Server now has a foundation, which is a metadata repository, or metadata bus. And we have restructured all the tools to come up with an information server, so companies don't need to decide whether they need this piece of technology or that piece of technology. They have an information challenge — they just start with an information server.
IW: What about the skills to work with an information server? It seems a little difficult to find people who understand this area. Is that a problem in the market now?
AG: It actually simplifies the problem because people were doing manual stuff around metadata. So what we have done is helped the business user say, "This is how I define my customer and attributes of that customer." They can talk business language. And then an information architect, who typically used to do ETL or SQL, can take the same business language and convert it into an appropriate information infrastructure programming tool. In the past they could never do that, and governance became a huge problem. The businessperson really meant X, and the information architect implemented Y.

Extreme changes are happening in Lee County government.
In a memo to staff, interim County Manager Doug Meurer says
"…there are areas within county operations that need additional focus and a fresh look…"
The County Manager's fresh look means promoting 3 employees to a newly created position - Acting Assistant County Manager.
That ups the number of assistant county managers to 5.
Meurer says it lowers the responsibility of the only two assistant managers - who oversee a combined total of nineteen departments.
"What I'm looking for is a better way to manage services," said Commissioner Cecil Pendergrass who commends the decision. "So citizens get great service without extra costs."
But this does come with a price tag.
In a statement, Meurer says, "There will be increases in pay for the four being given added duties. The positions will be considered temporary for now. If expectations are met, consideration to make them permanent will be given."
It leaves lingering questions for county commissioner cecil pendergrass.
"What are our savings?" he asked. "Hopefully with the restructure it will save us other costs through the county."
Community activist Anthony Thomas says the additions are a bad move.
"I think all this does nothing to help the person on the street. Or improve efficiency in government. It just creates more bureaucracy."
At least one county commissioner isn't happy about the salary hikes. Lee County Commissioner Larry Kiker says he wants those salaries justified.

For the first time since becoming the Baltimore Ravens' feature back in 2009, Ray Rice will not be suiting up for his team on Sunday, having been officially ruled inactive for the game against the Houston Texans.
Rice left last Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns with an injured hip. He had started 43 consecutive games, the longest active streak among NFL running backs. Bernard Pierce will make the start in his place.
In addition to Rice, the Ravens will be without wide receiver Jacoby Jones (knee), defensive lineman Chris Canty (groin), linebacker Arthur Brown (chest), defensive tackle Brandon Williams (toe), wide receiver Deonte Thompson (foot) and center Ryan Jensen (foot).
The most notable absentee for the Texans is Duane Brown, a Pro Bowl left tackle who will not make the trip to Baltimore as he attempts to overcome a case of turf toe. Ryan Harris will replace him on the line.
Safety Ed Reed will make his Texans debut, going up against the team he spent his first 11 NFL seasons with.

Situation is....I have applied for planning permission (for a client) for an extension to the rear and we have been asked for further information...nothing major to be addressed there.
However....my client has decided that they would like to move the rear wall another few feet ie. the dimension is currently 4500 out from the back wall of the house and they would like it to be 5000 or 6000. So essentially change the extent of the extension. The rear garden can comfortably accommodate the revised extension, POS etc.
Should I forget about the Further Information, which we haven't lodged yet and withdraw the application and then re-apply with the revised drawings and basically address the FI issues then.
Would value anyones opinion on this?

As far as fans go, the Broncos faithful have noting on their AFC West rivals in Oakland. With the Raiders' fortunes in decline (and what we can only assume to be some discount Halloween costume shops in the Denver area), Broncos fans are giving the whole makeup thing a shot.
Yikes. They look hungry for brains, but playing the Chiefs twice a year is like being on a starvation diet.

I just found out that the European Commission has released an open-source SDK for WP7. Thanks to the SDK, app developers can exploit EGNOS features: increased accuracy and reliability of the GPS position. The SDK is available for free on the EGNOS website (EGNOS is an European satellite infrastructure complementing GPS):
On the website I found the SDK Core, a Demo App and all instructions for installation and first steps, as well as information on the modules of the SDK. Higher GPS position accuracy and reliability (they call this feature ""integrity"") appear to me as interesting advantages. There are two problems, though:
- In the current version of the EGNOS SDK an external receiver is required - it will be possible to use the smartphpone's internal GPS receiver only when the SDK will be integrated in WP7
- At the moment it is not even possible to interface an external receiver with Windows Phones, due to the lack of Bluetooth Connection. That's disappointing since it works already with all the other platforms (iPhone, BBry, Android...)!!
As I see it, the last step (the SDK implementation in WP7) is up to Microsoft's OS Developers and Nokia's engineers. Do you think we will see that? I hope so!

If you were to Google the name AraabMuzik, you would discover tons of videos showing this music producer hammering on an MPC like he was Travis Barker. With his fast rhythmic touches on the machine and donning a New Era fitted, some might call it poetry in motion, others might say it's suicide on an MPC, but for the this producer it's just another day on the job.
Born Abraham Orellana in Providence, RI, he grew up with an affection for music starting at a very young age. He started drumming at age 3, and when he was about 10, he started getting into the keyboard and producing his own music. He wanted to hear and make his own music, rather than do what other DJs were doing and playing what other people produced.
Half Dominican and Guatemalan, he confesses that his Hispanic heritage has influenced his music. With his rapid beat making techniques, it's easy to understand why he's booking shows and festivals across the nation - because it's amazing to see. So keep your eyes open for the next time Araab's near your town, and be sure to catch his show. You'll dance your ass off, and get to see this musical MPC genius in action.

Please release Much Ado About Nothing with David Tennant and Catherine Tate to DVD
Beginning 16 May 2011 David Tennant and Catherine Tate are appearing together in Shakespeare's Much A Do About Nothing, at Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End. Both actors have fans both domestically and worldwide who would love to see this play but cannot make the journey to London. When David Tennant and Patrick Stewart appeared in Hamlet, the decision to film it opened up the production to untold numbers of people who would not have been able to experience it otherwise. Therefore, werespectfullyask Delfont Mackintosh Theatres Ltd and Sonia Friedman Productions to allow filming and subsequent release of this production to DVD for the worldwide audience.

(WMC-TV) - The University of Memphis' interim president is quoted as saying that if he could waive out-of-state tuition, he would do it in an effort to increase enrollment.
Some students at the university think it is a great idea, while others disagree.
College tuition is a tough mountain for most students to climb.
"It's expensive, really expensive," said University of Memphis freshman Breanna Griffin.
Griffin transferred to the U of M from Illinois. She knew Memphis was where she wanted to go after high school. She would love to see out-of-state tuition waived.
"I think a lot of people are intimidated by paying as much as they do just to get the education they feel like they need," she said.
University of Memphis Interim President Brad Martin is hoping to eliminate out-of-state tuition.
Martin says by doing this, enrollment will go up and as a result, so will graduation rates.
But not all students agree.
"If we lower the amount of talented people from in state, it would lower their incentive to come here," said freshman Aaron Canales.
Canales says he likes the smaller feel of the U of M and he wants it to stay that way.
"So, if we were simply to make it easier to get in, then you'd have a whole bunch of people who aren't necessarily serious about the academic environment," he added.
U of M officials say they are also planning to enter into a student recruiting effort and enlarge its online course offerings to bring in new students.
Top university leaders have scheduled a tentative meeting for this Monday to further discuss this out-of-state tuition issue.

US Solar Growth Driven By Middle-Class Americans
One of the most common solar-related myths out there is that it's mostly just the rich who are going solar. We've seen indication in the past that this stereotype was not true. However, a study just released by the Center for American Progress (CAP) is certainly the most recent and most comprehensive study on the matter that I've seen.

Sitting pretty in fourth position in the table, Southwell says that London Wasps' upcoming games against Gloucester, London Irish and Worcester have firmly sharpened the minds.
"The Gloucester game this weekend is massive for both sides," he said.
"We are right next to each other in the table and both of us are coming into the weekend on the back of good away wins. We are obviously delighted to come back to training this week having got that win away at The Stoop, as we haven't won there in quite some time, but the mind has been focused pretty quickly today by the challenge we have on Sunday. We have to back that win up with a big performance at home."
With Wasps surprising everyone with their stay in the top four, Southwell says it is reward for a lot of effort.
"We have been working really hard as a squad so we feel we deserve to be there but if you look at the games we have left, you'd realise that we are going to have to keep working incredibly hard to stay there. After this weekend, we've got two difficult away matches at London Irish and Worcester and then we come back to some huge home games so the schedule is pretty tough. It is nice to be in the top four and hopefully we can stay there but we need to keep improving."
Looking ahead to Gloucester this weekend, Southwell says his side must play smart rugby to win the match.
"They have threats all over the park and you could see at the weekend that their back three are very dangerous so we need to kick very well to them. We can't be loose there. We have improved a lot I think as a team since we last played Gloucester in September. It was early in the season when we weren't doing enough to win the tight games and I think we have moved forward well from that. We have a good record at Adams Park this season and if we play well there's no reason we can't continue this winning streak but if we don't we could be punished."
London Wasps play Gloucester on Sunday, February 17 at 13.00. If you haven't already secured your place in the stands, call 0844 225 2990 or click here to be part of it.

Yea Floyd contradicts himself a lot...
Me being a black male, I understand where is he is coming from....
but it pisses me off when he doesn't fully get the question and starts talking about other things...I don't know if it's because he nervous or so much on his mind that he loses track of his thoughts and is at times all over the place when expressing himself.
He does need a better PR team, because I am actually annoyed at this point.
He needs to sit with a team and explain his feelings then that PR team takes his thoughts and puts that professional touch on it.
He can't say "I fight for my fans, and to put the finishes touches on my career or Yes Pacquiao YOUR NEXT"
Then turn around and say "I come 1st, I fight for me...I don't need Pacquiao! Floyd Mayweather is fine without that fight"
pisses me off...
Yes you offered Pacquiao his biggest payday but you (Floyd) has to understand Pacquiao is a huge draw, just as huge as Floyd
and this is the biggest fight in history...Pacquiao is not these other guys so you can't come off to controlling it will make him feel like less a man and he's apart of this history as well....
So give Pacquiao the 50/50 and take all the Revenue or winner gets all the Revenue
Spice it up a bit man damn this shit makes it hard to defend him
I know he'll beat Pacquiao's ass, that it would be an easy night
But when he does these things it's hard to combat these fucking Pactards....
The big announcement will be Floyd vs Pacquiao or Martinez (IMO)

I beg to differ. Oscar will probably tell us something that we already know...maybe he makes one of those Ricky Martin announcements this time. Oh yeah...since when have we ever heard of Floyd's next opponent being announced before his current opponent? Hell...sometimes we have to wait months to see who he's fighting next...

Mayweather is 35.. has never been dumb.. just young and immature. He has matured and actually speaks very intelligently about his rationale... The mayweathers may not speak the King's English per se, yet they have shown an uncanny intelligence at carving out a a niche in the fght game and manipulating the media and getting rich from it.. The Mayweather name will live on in boxing for quite some time...

The answer to that question is simple...he will continue to fight guys who have no choice but to accept the money that he presents to them. Cotto's looking at somewhere around $30M...not sure he would've made that much money against anybody else.
At this point of Cotto's career, he's "supposed" to be one foot out of the game, but that much money makes anybody look like they still have something in the tank. Hell, Ortiz got about $2.5M, which is his biggest payday, so who would be crazy enough to walk away from that type of money?
I agree about the criticism that he may get for making that comment about fighting for himself, but really...hasn't criticism made his career what it is today? When people talk bad about him, and hopes that he loses..that curiosity leads to huge dividends for him.
If I remember correctly Oscar did not spilt 50/50 with anyone. No one said that he was greedy or a bastard for doing so. Mayweather is outspoken and people can not control him and that is what the media hates.
He is honest he fights for himself. I wish more people would be honest. Aren't you tired of athletes saying what they are programmed to say? Especially when we know it is B.S. I don't get why people like being lied to. If he said he fights for the fans and America and Michigan the Dalai Lama we would call BS so fast. He has earned his right to call shots
As far as Pacqiao and his legacy are concerned: When in history of anything do we only look at someone's career in pockets? I mean are boxing historians really going to say well Pacquiao is the greatest of his era because from 2006 he dominated? That is a little ridiculous. If that is the case Andy Roddick is the greates American tennis player ever. Because from 2000-2003 he was pretty bad ass. Greatness is something that does not take shape over night. Look at the career of Ali, Julio Cesar Sr. Hector Camacho and all the greats, they did not dominate over night, they kicked ass from the start. So I agree Mayweather does not need Pacquiao but having him on his list would not hurt. I think Pacquiao has more to prove.
Bob Costas is an asshole. He is one of these "reporters" who think they have an upper hand. He reminds me of Anderson Cooper.

Floyd comports himself well when he has a desire to, and when it's advantageous to. You can sense the maturity in the fighter and his approach, I think Floyd is at a point in his career where he can sit back and collect his spoils and Manny Pacquiao doesn't factor into any aspect of it. I realize the medias obsession with a fight that will never happen but Floyd is on a echelon by himself, and all they can really do to try to detract from a rich, proud, African American is to try to pepper him with questions they pretty much already know the answer to if they were minutely intellectually honest.
Mayweather-Pacquiao is never going to happen while Manny is a "Top Rank" fighter, it's that simple. There isn't anything clearer than that. Manny is never going to make 50% when his promoter and brain isn't in full control of the revenue stream. It's always interesting how many folks intentionally twist facts simply because they dislike Mayweather's bravado and skin color.
Until Manny has the kind of success in marketing himself as Mayweather has he doesn't deserve an equal split. Floyd has been successfully running his career for years now; while Manny has been an indentured servant to Top Rank. Manny's nothing more than a farmhand on Bob Arum's plantation and he wants half? Arum has been the one thats been skillfully navigating his fighter through the rocky shoals of catch weights and drained fighters with little outcry. While Floyd is the mold and blueprint for how a fighter should take control of his career.
If all Costas can conjure in terms of questions are the popular misconceptions based on Floyds statements, he's failed as a sports journalist, because there's a lot more that makes Floyd Mayweather tick than whether or not he's going to fight Pacquiao or what he thinks about Jeremy Lin.

When I was approached by the Downtown Bookstore to exhibit some of my art, it occurred to me that perhaps it was time to try a different road. I had already experienced showing my work - maybe now it was time to try putting together a photo book. And then it clicked. Just like the poem, these two roads had shaped my being. They allowed me to observe and capture the freedom of the road. What follows is a meditation on the drive rather than being driven - images I have captured while traveling these two roads.

ORONO — The UMaine Page Farm and Home Museum will hold its annual Holiday Shoppe craft fair Saturday, Dec. 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Just in time for the holiday season, the old-fashioned shoppe brings together Maine crafters and artisans to display and offer their unique goods for sale. The event is free and open to the public, with plenty of free parking, says museum director Patricia Henner.
Among this year's shoppe offerings are wrought-iron Christmas ornaments, hooks and stocking hangers forged by a blacksmith from Eddington, in addition to items hand-knitted and felted by the Friday Fiber Friends, along with wreaths, reproduction toys and homemade soaps. Edibles such as fresh cow and goat cheeses from Olde Oak Farm in Orono will be available for purchase. And Black Dinah Chocolatiers of Isle au Haut will be selling scrumptious hand-crafted chocolates, Henner says.
"Those who attend are sure to discover wonderful gift ideas, as well as Maine's thriving community of crafters," she adds. "Good tidings and cheer will also be present."

Traveled with 2 children ages 6 and 9 along with my parents who are in their 50s. Spent the night in New Orleans which was quite an adventure. This would have been a great place for my husband and I but, it was not really a place for kids. Had a nice dinner and went home early to prepare for the cruise.
We were able to get to the dock around 12:15..Waited in lines for about 20 minutes and then again to get our pictures taken. Got on the cruise nice and early and explored the Conquest which is huge. Their were lots of kids due to school vacation which was fine with us. Went to dinner and met our outstanding waiter Dickson and his assistant Miguel. They were the best and were so good to our children. They even cut their steak several nights. On several occasions during dinner an annoying photographer tried to take our photo thanks to these boards we always told the photographers we were not interested...both at dinner and as we were leaving the ship for the ports. This saved lots of time!!!! The food in the dining room was ok...the buffet dinner was not very good the night we went. Carnival is not well known for the quality of the food and this proved to be true on our cruise but we still managed to have our best trip ever.
The kids loved the children's programs and especially the director Hannah! The entertainment was good although I thought the shows were just ok. I wish they had more family entertainment in the evenings but, we kept busy and had fun!
Grand Cayman---It is absolutely beautiful. We shopped for an hour so at the beautiful stores and fell in love with the island. We then took a taxi to 7 mile beach and went to one of the stands with the large RED BULL tent and rented chairs. My husband and sun went on the jet-skis and rented snorkel equipment. It was a perfect place and I would go back there in a minute.
Cozumel---Is also very nice...did shopping at the ports and ate lunch at Poncho's Backyard which is one of the few places that filter water. No one got sick and we enjoyed Cozumel very much.

CREW Sues Federal Election Commission for Failing to Enforce Federal Election Act
Washington, D.C.—Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan filed a lawsuit against the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for failing to enforce campaign finance disclosure laws against two groups, the American Action Network (AAN) and Americans for Job Security (AJS). Both groups poured massive amounts of dark money into 2010 congressional campaigns across the country.
Click here to read the complaint.
"The three Republican FEC commissioners think they can simply ignore the laws they don't agree with. The American Action Network and Americans for Job Security have spent millions on electioneering communications, and the public has a right to know who is paying for all those vitriolic ads," Ms. Sloan said.
In 2012, CREW filed complaints with the FEC against AAN and AJS, alleging they had violated campaign finance law by failing to register as political committees and filing required disclosure reports with the FEC. More than two years later, despite a lengthy investigation and findings by the FEC's general counsel that the two groups had likely violated the law, the three Republican commissioners nevertheless voted to dismiss the complaints, finding no "reason to believe" the organizations violated the FECA's disclosure provisions.
The three other FEC commissioners disagreed, noting that AAN and AJS had clearly engaged in activity intended to influence federal elections and that with dark money an increasing problem, the FEC should "ensure that voters receive the information they need – the information that the Supreme Court has said they are entitled to – in order to make informed decisions."
Groups that spend more than $1,000 a year on expenditures and whose major purpose is electing federal candidates must register with the FEC as political committees. AAN and AJS far exceeded the spending trigger in 2010, with AAN spending more than two-thirds of its funds and AJS spending nearly three quarters of its funds on federal elections, making campaigning their major purpose. Political committees must also file periodic reports with the FEC, identifying donors and listing all expenditures. Neither AAN nor AJS complied with these requirements.
Today's lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleges the FEC has violated the Administrative Procedure Act, challenging the dismissals as arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law and the previously stated policies and opinions of the Commission. If CREW and Ms. Sloan prevail in court, the FEC will be required to enforce the law as written by Congress.
"The FEC has given AAN, AJS and all other dark money groups carte blanche to ignore campaign finance laws. It is crystal clear that the only way the FEC is ever going to enforce the law is if a court forces the Commission to do so. Today's lawsuit gives the courts the chance to set things right."

I had spent the last ten years of my life traveling the world as a model and only having me to worry about. I knew exactly what to do the minute I was confirmed for the job. Whether it involved international travel, multiple days of work, foreign languages, or just a quick drive down the road. Whatever my agencies threw my way I KNEW I could handle it.
So when I found out I was pregnant with my now six-year old son, I was so excited. I was engaged to my husband when we found out about Ramsee. It was such an exciting moment. Over the next several months, my life took a turn for the unknown. More

Beauty's most recent legendary breakthrough is the bold brow look. Cara Delevigne, Camilla Belle, Lily Collins -- they all have something in common, their famous eyebrows. It's funny now sitting here on pinterest with brow envy toward these three ladies. I remember when seventh grade rolled around and I was as ready as ever to say goodbye to my thick brows and hello to hot wax. However, my eyebrows never were thin, even after waxing, but I prefer them on the thicker side. I'm kicking my 13-year-old self as we speak. What was she thinking? Bold brows are beautiful, and an emerging trend in beauty.
Now I've found myself skipping out on threading and waxing appointments, and only popping in for a trim every so often. I prefer plucking at home now that my eyebrows are thicker, and I've never been happier with them. Flipping through any magazine or watching a runway show, you'll notice that the models are all sporting thick brows. I'm not quite sure what prompted the trend, but on the right person (like Cara Delevigne, pictured) it can bring out the most beautiful facial features, and so much more depth.
So what happens if you're lacking in the brow department? First, I'd suggest holding off on things like threading and waxing, so you can grow them out. It's easier to work with shape if there's more of it. Growing them out isn't the prettiest process, but when it's over and you have something to work with, you'll be pleased. Once you have eyebrows to work with, shape them however you prefer. The trend is kind of to just roll with the natural, straight shape of them. Angular brows aren't pretty on anyone, so I'd just leave them be. That's what I did with mine. Next, head to a store like Sephora or even a drug store, and pick up a retractable eyebrow pencil that's closest to the color of your hair. This is a powerful tool, so you must be careful. With the pencil, simply trace your eyebrow to make it darker and bolder. On the inside parts of the eyebrow, right in the center of the forehead where each brown begins, make the shape -- round or edged -- that you want your brows to be. If this part is bold and shaped perfectly, then you're golden. If you mess up, Q-tips are your best friend. Really -- they help angle the brows perfectly. Just add a little water and a tiny bit of soap to the tip of one, outline what you've done in pencil to clean it up, and your brows will be flawless. This sounds like it takes a lot longer than it actually does. I can promise you that it's a quick process and not a big deal to add to your daily beauty routine.
If you have boring brows, spice them up! It's easy, not very time consuming and brings out features in your face that will make you feel a whole lot more beautiful. Believe me, I'm talking from experience. You'll be happy that you gave it a try.
Allow yourself to have the brow factor.
xx, ZM

By Mae Kuykendall, Professor of Law, Michigan State University, and Director of the Legal E-Marriage Project
The prospects for the Supreme Court to issue a ruling affecting the marriage rights of same-sex couples seem to be accelerating. At the forefront are three distinct contexts for litigation: whether states can be required to authorize same-sex marriage, whether the federal government can deny state-created same-sex marriages federal recognition, and whether states can be required to recognize valid same-sex marriages performed in other states. Two U.S. circuit courts, the Ninth and the First, have issued opinions that treat with skepticism the governmental interest in blocking gay marriage. Both Courts proceeded with the caution required by Circuit Courts, which must follow Supreme Court precedent. For that reason, both courts avoided ruling that same-sex marriage is a fundamental right, and also avoided holding that gay men or lesbians are entitled to special judicial solicitude to protect them from unfavorable legislation.
The Ninth Circuit's conclusion limited the ability of a state to authorize a legal status with rights just like marriage, but withhold the word marriage. The Court reasoned that stripping away the word "marriage," while leaving the rights intact, has no purpose except inflicting second-class status on gay couples.
In addressing the state's obligations to authorize marriages of residents, the California case has no direct concern with federalism. The primary concern is the local marriage law of California.
In the First Circuit opinion, there is a subtle yet powerful convergence of federalism principles and equality principles. The First Circuit held unconstitutional a provision of federal law, Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines the word marriage, for all purposes of the U.S. code, as the union of one man and one woman. Significantly, the First Circuit held that the law violated both federalism rules and principles of equality.

Before we celebrate our independence, the country will get a chance to honor its flag.
Flag Day is observed June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the American Flag, which has seen many changes over the country's existence. In honor of the day, several veterans' organizations host events including flag retirements. In fact the entire week is observed.
But when and where did Flag Day Start? Several sites credit a number of people who pushed for the country to honor the flag.
The most prominent of them was Bernard J. Cigrand, a 19-year-old teacher at Stony Hill School in Wisconsin. According to the National Flag Day Foundation website, on June 14th, 1885, Cigrand placed a 10-inch, 38-star flag in an inkwell on his desk and assigned his students to write essays on the flag and its significance.
"This observance, commemorated Congresses adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777," according to the site. "This observance was also the beginning of Cigrand's long years of fervent and devoted effort to bring about national recognition and observance of Flag Day. The crowning achievement of his life came at age 50 when President Wilson, on May 30, 1916, issued a proclamation calling for a nation wide observance of Flag Day."
In 1949, President Truman signed an Act Of Congress designating the 14th day of June every year as National Flag Day and on June 14, 2004, the 108th U.S. Congress voted unanimously on H.R. 662 that Flag Day originated in Ozaukee County, Waubeka Wisconsin, according to the site.
National observance includes a presidential proclamation that we've included below.
Presidential Proclamation--Flag Day and National Flag Week, 2012
Ninety-six years ago, our Nation first came together to celebrate Flag Day an occasion when President Woodrow Wilson asked us to "stand with united hearts for an America which no man can corrupt, no influence draw away from its ideals, no force divide against itself." This week, we mark nearly one century since that historic proclamation, and more than two centuries since the Second Continental Congress brought 13 United States under a single standard.
For over 200 years, our flag has proudly represented our Nation and our ideals at home and abroad. It has billowed above monuments and memorials, flown beside the halls of government, stood watch over our oldest institutions, and graced our homes and storefronts. Generations of service members have raised our country's colors over military bases and at sea, and generations of Americans have lowered them to mourn those we have lost. Though our flag has changed to reflect the growth of our Republic, it will forever remain an emblem of the ideals that inspired our great Nation: liberty, democracy, and the enduring freedom to make of our lives what we will.
As we reflect on our heritage, let us remember that our destiny is stitched together like those 50 stars and 13 stripes. In red, white, and blue, we see the spirit of a Nation, the resilience of our Union, and the promise of a future forged in common purpose and dedication to the principles that have always kept America strong.
To commemorate the adoption of our flag, the Congress, by joint resolution approved August 3, 1949, as amended (63 Stat. 492), designated June 14 of each year as "Flag Day" and requested that the President issue an annual proclamation calling for its observance and for the display of the flag of the United States on all Federal Government buildings. The Congress also requested, by joint resolution approved June 9, 1966, as amended (80 Stat. 194), that the President annually issue a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as "National Flag Week" and call upon citizens of the United States to display the flag during that week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 14, 2012, as Flag Day and the week beginning June 10, 2012, as National Flag Week. I direct the appropriate officials to display the flag on all Federal Government buildings during that week, and I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day and National Flag Week by displaying the flag. I also call upon the people of the United States to observe with pride and all due ceremony those days from Flag Day through Independence Day, also set aside by the Congress (89 Stat. 211), as a time to honor America, to celebrate our heritage in public gatherings and activities, and to publicly recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth.
