I'm not an expert in patents... but a software engineer who works on network protocols.
Just wondering how come this patent is approved because of the similarities with SMB protocol implementation.
In basic this patent talks about transferring a file from one device to another device which is exactly what the SMB protocol does. The patent is filled on Apr,7,2009 (according to Google page) and the SMB protocol is designed around 1990 (according to Wiki).
Any thoughts?

Andy Pettitte, one-time teammate and long-time friend of Roger Clemens, continued his testimony at Clemens' perjury trial on Wednesday morning.
Pettitte's Wednesday testimony, under cross-examination from defense attorney Mike Attanasio, could be damaging to the prosecution's case:
When Attanasio asked Pettitte if he might have misunderstood Clemens in that conversation, Pettitte responded, "I could have."
And, in the moment of the morning, Attanasio asked Pettitte whether it was "50-50" that Pettitte correctly understood his conversation from over 12 years ago.
"I'd say that's fair," Pettitte said.
In the government's redirect questioning, U.S. Assistant Attorney Steven Durham asked Pettitte whether he remembered other details of that day's conversation, and Pettitte said he hadn't.
Clemens' long-standing claim is that Pettitte "misremembered" the conversations the two of them supposedly had on this issue. This testimony could bolster Clemens' claim.
The trial is expected to continue for several weeks. Pettitte, meanwhile, will continue his attempt to return to the Yankees with more minor-league starts.

High performance, serviceable catch can
Mishimoto is proud to announce the release of our Baffled Oil Catch Can. With over a year of research and development time, Mishimoto has created the most effective oil catch can on the market. The Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can was designed to separate oil particles from the PCV air that would normally have just been routed back to your intake. Custom grooves in the catch can's inlet turbulates the air longer and ensures all the oil sinks to the bottom of the can, leaving nothing but clean air to pass through the 40 micron bronze filter to the intake. An internal baffle keeps the collected oil from splashing around under race conditions.
The 100% billet, 6061 aluminum can accepts –AN fittings at the inlet, outlet, and drain area allowing over 27 possible configurations. For maximum fitment options, the top cog mounting setup allows the can to be mounted from multiple angles. To make maintenance easy, the drain plug can be removed to allow for –AN return to the oil pan. The can is also 100% washable, unlike many other cans that require you to replace your filtration system.

Adams County is one step closer to having its own energy boom, but it has nothing to do with oil production. Yesterday, the Public Service Commission approved plans for a wind farm near Hettinger by a vote of two to one. It will include seventy-five wind turbines in Duck Creek and parts of Holt Townships. The project will cost about $300 million.The company, Thunder Spirit Wind, will build the wind farm. It's hoping to complete the project by the end of 2014.

Bikes For Tykes donated 220 bicycles for Tulsa-area kids, just in time for Christmas.
Volunteers from the organization helped drop them off by the dozens Monday at Academy Sports and Outdoors in midtown Tulsa.
They were then taken to Family and Children Services to be distributed to disadvantaged families.
"Riding a bike is kind of a right of passage for a child," says Christina Treat of Bikes For Tykes. "This donation allows them to have the opportunity and the freedom and the responsibility that comes with owning a bicycle."
Organizers tell ktul.com, this is their biggest donation of bikes ever.

track faculty members received letters earlier this week warning them the
university might have to cut back on employees.
It's due to the school's
enrollment numbers and recent budget cuts.
According to the Assistant to
the Chancellor for Media Relations Rod Sievers, non-tenure track faculty
members get this type of letter every year around this time.
The problem is, no one knows
what the spring semester will bring.
Sievers says the letters go out
as a way for the university to let faculty members know that they may need to
make cuts.
The university
sent out similar letters in July 2012.
At that time, 16 non-tenured
faculty members got the letters along with 63 employees at the early childhood

PRINCETON, Ind. —
A man who lived near a southwest Indiana woman last seen leaving a grocery store showed police where the woman's car had crashed and has been arrested, authorities said.
Sandra Burkhardt, 58, of rural Gibson County, went missing Friday night. A body was found Saturday near Crossville, Ill., and White County Sheriff Doug Maier told WEHT-TV that he believed the body would be connected to Burkhardt's disappearance. He did not provide more details.
Indiana police arrested 25-year-old Thomas Davidson on Saturday while investigating a string of burglaries in the area. Gibson County Sheriff George Ballard said Davidson led police to Burkhardt's crashed car, which was found near Petersburg, about 50 miles west of Crossville.
Davidson was transferred early Sunday from the Posey County Jail in Mount Vernon, Ind., to the White County Jail in Carmi, where a jail officer said he couldn't disclose any charges against Davidson. Online jail records did not indicate whether Davidson had an attorney. Gibson County Sheriff George Ballard told the Princeton Daily Clarion that Davidson has a hearing set for Monday in White County Circuit Court. No other details were immediately available
Burkhardt was last seen Friday night leaving a store in Princeton with a grandchild. Her daughter told Indiana authorities she found the grandchild asleep at Burkhardt's home but the woman and her car were missing. The Clarion reported Davidson is a former resident of the Crossville who more recently had been living near Burkhardt's rural home.
Davidson initially was jailed in Posey County where a warrant was issued for him earlier Saturday in connection with a shooting in Mount Vernon. A man matching Davidson's description fired two shots from inside a car matching Burkhardt's and battered an unidentified woman, Ballard said. No other details were immediately available.

Brasher and Disley win libel case
Wednesday 24 May 1995
Chris Brasher and John Disley, organisers of the London Marathon, yesterday accepted more than pounds 380,000 High Court libel damages over magazine and TV allegations that they used the event to enrich themselves. Channel 4 and the New Statesman are also faced with a costs bill which brings the total settlement package to more than pounds 1.1m.
George Carman QC, for the event organisers, told Mr Justice Waller that the two men who founded the marathon in 1980 were caused serious distress and damage by the magazine publication in July 1990 and the broadcast in the Dispatches series in March 1991. The allegations that they had been consistently guilty of fraud, deception and dishonesty were "entirely untrue".
Brasher said afterwards: "As a former sports editor of a national newspaper my normal inclination is not to rush into libel action against the media. However, these allegations were so outrageously untrue and hurtful that we had no choice but to seek retribution through the courts.
"Now our reputations have been completely cleared. I am only sorry that it has taken four years - four years of hell for us and our families - for the New Statesman and Channel 4 to admit that the allegations made were completely unfounded."

In the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 26, Travis Browne (15-1-1, 6-1-1 UFC) weathered an early storm from Alistair Overeem (36-13, 1 NC, 1-2 UFC) before catching him with a front kick and pounding him out. Overeem managed to hurt Browne early, pounding him with punches against the fence and almost forcing the finish of the fight. Browne covered up well though, and the ref chose to it continue. Not long after that, Browne booted Overeem right on the chin, which sent the big man to the canvas. A few punches ended his night at 4:08 of the first round.
The win was Browne's second in a row and fifth in his last six bouts. Overeem suffered his second straight loss, both by knockout, and is making it harder and harder for the UFC to justify his hefty paycheck.
What was the high point of the fight?
The front kick. It was crazy that it landed and it was crazy to watch Overeem go down like that.
Where do they go from here?
Browne now has a signature win on his resume and is firmly entrenched in the middle of the top ten. There are a few different options for his next bout, but that likely won't be decided until two other big heavyweight fights take place - Frank Mir vs. Josh Barnett, and Daniel Cormier vs. Roy Nelson. Stipe Miocic might be an option too, but I don't see that as very likely.
Overeem might very be on his way out of the UFC with that loss. Being 1-2 in three fights isn't usually that bad for your average UFC fighter, but Overeem is anything but average. I personally hope that they keep him around for one more fight, and that fight is against Mark Hunt. They met before back in 2008 and Overeem picked up a quick win, but they're in much different positions now and it sounds like a great idea to me.
Watch now, later, or never?
Now. The fight featured a ton of action and it's absolutely worth your time to track it down and check it out.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 1023 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beri Great Hotel Centrally placed and comfortable hotel with a professional crew. August 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by spazot Close to Everything, but expensive This hotel is in walking distance of many tourist attractions & shopping. Valet service is very pricey & the beds are on the firm side. August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiffini888 Great hotel, location The hotel is perfect. Staying here again reminded me of what a perfect location it is in Seattle as well. Rooms are comfortable and quiet. Starbucks coffee in rooms (thank you) is appreciated. Will stay again. August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by pdxpixie Great downtown Seattle hotel Very nice hotel, reasonably priced for downtown Seattle and very close to our sightseeing destinations like Pike Place Market, the aquarium and waterfront. August 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ponch145 Great place for a get away Great central location for a visit or business trip. Shopping, restaurants and Pike Place all within walking distances. The rooms are large, comfortable and quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We love this hotel and would stay there anytime. August 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by dexter01 ok hotel but need free wifi in the room add free wifi in the rooms at this price point one would expect it. August 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BusinessTravelAug0914 In walking distance to great attractions! We really enjoyed our stay at the Sheraton Hotel in Seattle, Washington. The location of the hotel was great (very close to major attractions and we walked and/or took the Link to almost everything). We're Dodger fans but we went to a Blue Jay/Mariner Game one night and we walked from the Hotel to the Link station...it was so easy. We also walked down to the Public Market daily (10 min walk). August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Butch56 August traveller The hotel staff were excellent and very pleasant. The hotel is conveniently located near the end of the Light Rail which is far better to take from the airport than a cab or shuttle. It is also next to the convention center and within walking distance to many downtown sites. August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ed75 Excelent location Perfect location if you have a meeting at the convention center (one short block walk) August 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kamu Great location Lovely hotel, close to Pike Place, shopping and public transport. August 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yorkville Well located, great service The hotel is well located with a great staff. August 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by LYOR Good experience overall The Hotel is located in a very central location. Room was very clean and staff were friendly. The Club Member Lounge, though, was quite disappointing. It was small and snacks weren't very good. Compare to other Sheraton Hotel Club Lounge, it was under performed. Also, some items on our stay were double charged. However, I still give it an overall rating of 4 because of the location and actual room. Some details of their service need to be improved. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gene54 I will come back This was my first stay at this property. Really liked room 1854, and the attentiveness of your staff- in particular Mr. VanderPeet's assistant (shame on me for not remembering her name). I already made my second reservation for September 2014 and sincerely look forward to coming back, this time with my wife. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SaraSLC Great Location and Hotel You can't beat the location of this hotel. It's an easy walk to all the downtown attractions and Sound Transit has a stop just a block away. The room was very comfortable and the fitness room was fantastic. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Donkey Service Hotel understaffed on check in for our business check in When we book 500 plus rooms you need to have all check in lanes staffed for 2 days Bar service staff 2 scheduled at bar at night to handle our crowd no floor waitresses on duty 20 minute wait for drinks Majority of our staff just walked away and went elsewhere How can you miss this in your planning We stay at same time every year and fill your hotel rooms You were missing thousands of dollars in bar sales per minute on Wednesday night from 8pm to close August 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Vortex2014 Good hotel in Seattle Very good hotel in the middle of town. August 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by alcanuk Staff shilling for tips As a platinum, I like to the benefits provided which include the complementary continental breakfast. I find most properties have a tip jar in the executive lounge. I was surprised that the staff print a zero balance receipt so you can charge your tip to your room. They then stand around watching if you fill it in. All the staff do is clear tables and fill a simple buffet and clear tables. While I usually tip (into a jar) it seems overkill to persent everyone a zero bill, and then expect a tip. This is a little crass. June 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by yangster This hotel does not value SPG Platinum members I try very hard to maintain platinum status with SPG every year. I've been a platinum member for the last 10 years. Most SPG hotels I stayed would recognize my loyalty and would have reserved at least a SPG level room w/o asking. This was not the case with the Sheraton Seattle. I was assigned a regular room on the 19th floor (out of 35). I asked if there were SPG or higher level room...I was told immediately I have the highest level room available for the night (without looking at the computer) I didn't feel the agent even tried to find another room me. I asked her politely again "would you please check if there is a SPG room available for a platinum member?" She responded with the same answer again, and then asked me for my platinum amenity selection. I do not feel I am being valued as a platinum member at this hotel. I have another reservation to stay here again next week. I will have to find a new hotel now...I am very disappointed with Sheraton Seattle and rethinking the value of maintaining platinum status with SPG. July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keiki18 Very Accomodating! Lovely hotel that is centrally located. August 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jetlagger Incorrect Bill/Inadequate Platinum recognition Good Hotel, Has a good Club lounge -(macaroons are out of the world!), great downtown location. Excellent pool on the top floor. Wasnt provided an upgrade even though I was a platinum member and considering I was traveling with family and could have used some extra space. Didnt have the "view" promised at checkin. Beware of parking charges that are close to $50/day. Checkin Amenity points were not credited and noticed inaccurate charges on the bill that needed call backs and jumping through hoops to clear. Would have expected more towels considering the number of occupants in the reservation. Overall satisfied considering I have had worse experiences with some hotels. December 29, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by mattrob1 Great Place to Stay Rooms are excellent, very comfortable beds and quiet corridors make for a good night sleep. No maids shouting down corridors or radios squarking which happens at other hotels I have stayed in so I much prefer it here. The food is good too, and the bar staff friendly. A great place to stay for a visit to Seattle. August 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by warning avoid room 3217 and skip the club level avoid room 3217. it is directly adjacent to the club level service area. noise, noise noise......... the front dest is overwhelmed. plan to stand in line to check in. the club level was disappointing. breakfast was just ok, and the afternoon offerings were dismal. and they charge you for drinks! yes that is correct. no complementary wine or beer. so, what's the point? i doubt that they will print these comments. but just in case they do, take notice. August 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lynkdev would not recommend Your average hotel includes free wifi and breakfast. I stayed during Sea fair in Seattle and of course prices skyrocketed in the city. I didn't do extensive research before booking either. On top of my two night stay for 389 x two nights, the total came out to 950 after taxes and 90 for valet parking. 10.99 extra for wifi and no free breakfast made me choose never to stay at a Sheraton again.. look elsewhere. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by captrags80 ALWAYS a great stay Even though this trip was personal, I have been staying here for over 20 years as an airline pilot. This is one of the consistently finest hotels I have ever experienced. August 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Art68 Great Property This property is well appointed and well maintained. Good workout facility. August 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by PepperHot Weekend In Seattle The hotel was in a perfect location and we had a quiet comfortable room and the hotel staff gave excellent service. We were in Seattle to celebrate my birthday, see a show at the 5th Avenue theater and take in a baseball game at Safco. The valet parking left our car with a bump on the front passenger side but ACE parking said it was not done on their watch so we will have to get that fixed. The pool was too hot for comfortable lap swimming and I think the hotter temperature encouraged the alcohol drinkers than hung out in the pool with their beverages in the afternoon. I would stay there again but not use the vale parking. July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnthonyM Oustanding Customer Service Received the best customer service I've ever experienced in a SPG hotel from Blair at the front desk, and as a Gold Level member I use these hotels frequently. The systems in the whole hotel were down and there was pressure on everyone to hustle, and the whole way through processing us Blair was professional, curteous and smiling, couldn't have asked for anthing more. Well done. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by princessJJ surprised!!! I was pleasantly surprised at this fabulous hotel. I haven't stayed at a Sheraton for a very long time and the last time i was in Seattle the area was not this nice. This hotel was clean, modern, comfortable, great staff and the location was superb!! Kudos the Sheraton- August 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Moocoro Guest Hotel is not special, charged me $5 for a take away box, did not let me use spg room even though I own 2 properties and am a gold member. disappointing. August 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DLS892 Seattle Sheraton This is the ideal place to stay in Seattle. It is centrally located and within walking distance to many attractions and great shopping!! The staff was excellent, the Club floor was convenient and saved us time on our long weekend trip. We will definitely be coming back to the Seattle Sheraton! August 5, 2014

Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby has suffered yet another injury blow after being replaced in the 17th minute of Arsenal's game against Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium.
The French midfielder has always been notoriously injury-prone, and despite Gunners boss Arsene Wenger's hopes that this could be a breakthrough season for him, it seems that his fitness problems will not go away. Diaby has suffered ever since injuring his ankle in 2006, and the following complications have sidelined him with over 20 muscular injuries since that time. Last summer he had surgery on his ankle - the fourth time he has gone under the knife to attempt to fix the problem.
Diaby was replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the Gunners, with Theo Walcott continuing his spell out of the first-choice Arsenal lineup.
Stay tuned to our live stream of coverage on the Premier League for updates on Arsenal vs. Chelsea, Diaby's injury, and all the other Premier League action happening today.

A Maplewood man has been charged with second-degree murder and armed robbery for allegedly shooting a 19-year-old St. Paul man in the head during a Craigslist-arranged meeting for a cell phone.
According to the charges, 19-year-old Aung Thu Bo and his ex-girlfriend met 26-year-old Steven Emmanuel Lewis in the parking lot of a restaurant last Friday afternoon to buy the phone.
However, Lewis said he needed a ride to his house to get the charger for the phone.
"In this case, what I would say is one of the dangers was -- even though he was on a public street, he was in a confined area," explained Howie Padilla, spokesman for the St. Paul Police department.
Once inside Bo's car, the three then drove about a block before Lewis allegedly pulled a gun and demanded their wallets.
"Give me what you got," Lewis said, according to the criminal complaint.
Lewis leaned forward to search Bo's pockets while holding the Glock to the teen's head when it went off. Bo's girlfriend screamed and Lewis ran out of the car. He was later arrested when police found him in a car on Plum Street with blood on his hands.
"He was apprehended pretty quickly," Padilla said.
Police told FOX 9 News that Lewis was on the phone with his girlfriend as the arresting officer approached, telling her, "I love you and tell the girls I love them. I'm going away for a long time."
The victim's family said Bo was taken off life support on Saturday. A ring of flowers now circles a tree in the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood where Bo lost his life.
Bo was a computer engineering student at Hamline University and worked two jobs to support his family. He had certainly come a long way from his birth in a refugee camp in Thailand, and appeared to have a bright future.
"It's really hard when you see someone who has the world in front of him become a victim," said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi. "In a lot of ways for me, I can relate to this particular victim because ... his background is much like mine."
Lewis has four prior felony convictions for domestic assault, theft and damage to property. Bail has been set at $500,000.
There are three other police reports from last week that involve similar armed robberies. Police are not releasing Lewis' mug shot until they have confirmed whether or not he is connected to those crimes.

Ravens RB Ray Rice has "a significant contusion" on his knee, the team said Monday.
Rice left Sunday's win over Cleveland with about 10 minutes remaining after gaining four yards on a pass reception. He had an MRI on Monday, which revealed the contusion, head coach John Harbaugh said Monday. The team declined to reveal which knee Rice had injured.
His status for Sunday's game against undefeated Pittsburgh is unknown.
"We'll see how he fares throughout the week," Harbaugh said. "We'll see how it heals."
If Rice is unable to play against the Steelers, Willis McGahee would be the starting running back.

The ship is lovely and spacious, food was excellent and the service was outstanding, the staff bent over backwards for us, they especially like friendly passengers who make conversation with them which we did being that sort of person anyway. We dined at 8.30pm in the Botticelli dining room and our head waitress Barbara was fab she knew exactly how we liked things after the first evening. The tasting Chef Katerina from Serbia came and saw us every evening to check that our food was up to scratch and it was excellent every evening, what a lovely lady she was very friendly and was happy to take photos with us and the kids. The restaurant manager Nello from Italy was also there checking that the junior waiters were on hand for anything we required. As mentioned before the service was second to none.
On one evening we dined in Sabbatini's and another in the Crown Grill these restaurants have a cover charge but you can order doubles if you want to but there was no need as were were stuffed from a 3 course meal (Sabbantini's was a five course meal with the 3rd course being pasta) great food once again. Most mornings we took breakfast in the buffet on deck 14 as it was available for a longer period of time and wow what an array of choices. We had lunch here too on most days their onions rings are to DIE FOR) light crispy and not greasy whatsoever! We also tried the Pizza in the Piazza and the burgers and chips by the pool. The kids enjoyed ordering room service which was also complimentary 24/7 whilst watching TV in the cabin.
On the 2 formal evenings 90% of cruisers dressed up in evening wear as did we and how fab and great that felt, professional photographers on hand to take photos which you were not obliged to purchase but I did buy 2 one of me and my son together and another of him alone ($50 for both) not bad price really.
The weather wasn't very warm but at least it didn't rain at all and on the last day before sailing back in Oslo, Norway the sun came out and the decks quickly filled up with cruisers to catch a few rays, as we did too.
All in all a fab cruise had by all, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend he Grand Princess at all. I actually got really upset when we disembarked and didn't want to leave. The cruise was for 7 days but another 3 days on board would have been even better. I am now looking forward to my next cruise which sadly won't be until next year unless I win the Lottery (no chance)!

Employment Practices Liability
This refers to an insurance policy that provides protection for certain claims arising out of the employment arena to include coverage for volunteers. Particular coverages include sexual harassment, wrongful termination, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Additionally, the policy offered by the church includes coverage for sexual molestation.
This coverage offers protection against covered accidents and sickness that occur while attending or traveling to and from a participating camp.
This coverage is designed to provide limited additional medical, disability income, and accidental death or dismemberment expenses for injuries sustained during approved volunteer service.
Accident Injury Plans are available to Amateur Sport Organizations for both Youth and Adult Groups. Accident Medical Expense Coverage is often purchased to help enhance Liability coverage and help deter Liability claims. When Medical bills are paid, without any out-of-pocket expense to the insured, the risk of Lawsuits may be greatly reduced.
Crime Insurance - This coverage provides payment for direct losses of money, securities, or other property caused by theft or forgery by an employee acting alone or in collusion with others. Coverage for premises, transit, and funds transfer fraud is also included.

Merit #3 Adjustable Target Aperture 11/16" Diameter Long Shank (11/32" Long) 7/32"-40 Thread fits Lyman and Williams Sights Black
Product #: 340081 Merit #: 7/32-40 - 3LSTarget
Product Information
For dedicated target and competitive shooters, aperture sights are desirable for their extreme precision and consistent adjustments. The Merit #3 Master's aperture adjusts from 0.022" to 0.125" in diameter, with an internal spring that holds the selected sight setting constant during recoil. A neoprene light shield creates a shaded sight picture, preferred by outdoor competitors, and may be trimmed to suit the user's taste. The #3 Target is virtually identical to the Master, but lacks a light shield. It is a popular choice among indoor and air rifle competitors.
Technical Information
Aperture Types:
#3 apertures are designed for target shooting. The 12 leaf shutter opens and closes without changing the point of
impact. The shutter leaves are supported at each end to withstand heavy recoil. The aperture varies from .022 to .125"
diameter. Internal click spring maintains setting.
#3 master is favored by high power shooters and other outdoor competitors. Shaded aperture. Flexible neoprene light
shield. May be converted to target model.
#3 target is favored by indoor smallbore and air rifle competitors. Steel face.
#4 hunting aperture is smaller than the target models, allowing for low mounting and reduced weight. Click spring
maintains aperture setting. Withstands any recoil. Aperture varies from .022 to .156" diameter.

When over 2,500 delegates gather at the plush resort town of
Of the five listed 'pillars' of discussion at this year's meeting, the one titled 'Economics and Finance: Addressing Economic Insecurity' will surely command the most attention. 'You can bet that all the heads of the European, Asian, and American central banks will be in Davos doing their own version of collaborative innovation, trying to coordinate interest-rate cuts to stem the recessionary tide rolling in,' Business Week said last week.
'The global outlook is currently marred by greater levels of political and economic uncertainty than at any point during the past decade,' warned a report co-sponsored by the World Economic Forum, the organizers of the annual meeting in Davos, wrote Gillian Tett in the London-based Financial Times, Jan. 10. She went on to quote one of the report's co-authors David Nadler: "Systemic financial risk is the most immediate and, from the point of view of economic cost, most severe risk facing the global economy. With so many potential consequences of the 2007 liquidity crunch unresolved, the outlook at the beginning of 2008 is more uncertain than it was a year ago."
The new uncertainty is a reality for a lot of people right now, including the maybe two million in the
This is no expense account junket. These people take what they do at Davos seriously.
'The unique combination of the world's top business and political leaders, together with the heads of the world's most important NGOs, and religious, cultural and media leaders allows us to approach the problems that face the world in a systematic way and with an eye to tackling the major issues that face us all,' says the Forum's founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab. 'The annual meeting gives all of us a chance to understand and shape the global agenda for the year ahead and beyond, serving global society by making sense of a rapidly changing world and harnessing collaborative innovation to the benefit of us all."
And if you think chart rooms are just for kids, think again. This year, in partnership with YouTube, the World Economic Forum has launched The Davos Question, with the aim of 'creating a global video conversation.'
When the mucky mucks huddled at Davos last year, they talked a lot about globalization. True, some spoke of worrisome economic trends, however, a highlighted message out of those sessions was that the world economy was trending in the right direction and generally all was well. The problem, it was noted, was that the economics shifts and growing economic inequities within and between societies was engendering political problems. This year will be different. The political problems remain but things are far from alright in the world economy – particularly in some of the more advance capitalist countries.
One of the regulars at Davos is Martin Wolf of the Financial Times, who has been described as 'conservative doyen of British economic commentators.' Wolf now says he has had a reluctant change of mind since last year. He now favors some regulation of the compensation packages of executives in the world of finance. 'I now fear that the combination of the fragility of the financial system with the huge rewards it generates for insiders will destroy something even more important – the political legitimacy of the market economy itself – across the globe. So it is time to start thinking radical thoughts about how to fix the problems.'
Financial services are 'virtually the only businesses able to devastate entire economies,' Wolf wrote recently. 'Many market liberals would prefer to leave the financial sector to the rigors of the free market. Alas, the evidence of history is clear: we, the public, are unable to live with the consequences.'
Handing huge bonuses to bankers who have been on the job only a short time tempts them to take uncalled-for risks while making it look like they're making lots of money, Wolf says. 'We cannot pretend that the way the financial system behaves is not a matter of public interest – just look at what is happening in the US and UK today; and, second, if the problem is to be fixed, incentives for decision-makers have to be better aligned with the outcomes.'
Of course, the economic problems now facing the
Wolf was one of those who, last year at Davos, had an 'optimistic view of prospects for the world economy' and 'pessimism about political prospects'
'I missed the details of the link between subprime loans, securitization, special investment vehicles and a meltdown in money markets,' Wolf now says. 'But I did note that Ëœthe underpricing of risk and the combination of low interest rates with fast growth almost invite economic blunders. My mistake was to underestimate the ability of the world's premier financial institutions to sink themselves in a quagmire. But I was in good company: theirs.' (He insists on blaming the bankers – not for being greedy or corrupt but for being dumb and that's surely debatable).
In laying out this semi-mea culpa, Wolf, I think, reveals something very important about the current mortgage crisis in the
A developing country that exists within the
The economic situation in the
The world of high finance has not been overly impressed by the proposals to date. The Bush administration's initial statement was followed by a sharp stock market decline. "It's disappointed in the size of the economic growth package. Wall Street's showing its displeasure," one research analyst told the Associated Press. 'By the time they actually pass anything, it will be past the time we need it.' James W. Paulsen, a strategist at Wells Capital Management. 'I suspect that it's already too late to prevent a recession,' New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote last week, adding that 'the next year or two could be quite unpleasant.'
Times columnist Bob Herbert penned an instructive piece Jan. 18. The policy makers, he wrote 'should stop, take a deep breath and acknowledge the obvious: the way to put money into the hands of working people is to make sure they have access to good jobs at good wages. That has long been known, but it hasn't been the policy in this country for many years.'
'Big business and the federal government have worked hand in hand to squeeze the daylights out of working people, stripping them (in an era of downsizing and globalization) of much of their bargaining power while ferociously pursuing fiscal policies that radically favored the privileged few,' wrote Herbert.
'There is no question that some kind of stimulus package geared to the needs of ordinary Americans is in order,' continued Herbert. 'But that won't begin to solve the fundamental problem. Good jobs at good wages – lots of them, growing like spring flowers in an endlessly fertile field – is the absolutely essential basis for a thriving American economy and a broad-based rise in standards of living.'
Robert Kuttner, co-editor of The American Prospect magazine, has urged Congressional Democrats to come up with a stimulus packed much bigger than those now being proposed and then move beyond it toward measures to reform the economy as a whole. Appearing before an economic town hall meeting on Capitol Hill, co- sponsored by the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Campaign for America's Future, Kuttner invoked the 'D' word. 'If you look at subprime and all its glory, it recapitulates all of the abuses of the 1920s in all their glory,' he said, concluding 'we should be very alarmed.'
Reporting on the meeting, blogger Isaiah J. Poole, wrote, 'Kuttner suggested that an adequate stimulus package should perhaps be three or four times that size, given the size of the economy and the severity of the ripple effects of the housing market implosion on the rest of the economy. Plus, none of the remedies most prominently on the table would address investment in public infrastructure, which would create a broad range of jobs, or seed the growth of urgently needed green-energy technologies – to name just two of the suggestions for stimulus raised during the town hall meeting. More importantly, Kuttner said, they would not address the fundamental need to, as he put it, 're- regulate financial capital,' tax it appropriately, and use the proceeds efficiently to meet national and human needs.'
'The challenge, as the national debate heats up over how to address the looming recession, is to draw the right lessons from history – and from the present – and be bold about both the nature of the problem and the right solutions,' wrote Poole.
There is little likelihood that any such discussion will take place at Davos, where the suits will try to 'shape the global agenda for the year ahead and beyond,' just as is was unlikely that any of the major U.S. media would report what Kuttner had to say. But the political concern will be there, surely more pronounced and urgent than it was at the Forum in 2007. Martin Wolf, who is worried about 'the political legitimacy of the market economy itself,' says he is more nervous about the potential political repercussions in 2008 than he was last year, saying, 'What is happening in credit markets today is a huge blow to the credibility of the Anglo-Saxon model of transactions-orientated financial capitalism.'

I believe Groth and Bechlar used some hand placed pins on their ascents. Seth Dyer and I didn't use any of that, but the most important piece for me is a small (#2?) wire right dab in the middle of the crux. It is hard to fish in, but as strong as the cable once you get it. Still, in my world this thing comes with a pretty heavy R rating which could easily turn to an X mid flight...

On May 3 1961, the very first presentation for the press of the new Volvo P1800 took place at the Fars Hatt Hotel in the little town of Kungälv, 30 minutes drive north of Gothenburg. On May 3 2011, exactly 50 years later to the day, a celebration of this occasion took place at Fars Hatt. The event was arranged in the presence of not only media representatives but also a group of former Volvo employees who worked with the development of the car and saw it being born in 1961.
The group of ex-Volvo men consisted of Gösta Vallin, Åke Björksund, Helge Castell, Sture Agård, Rune Fritsby, S O Andersson and Sven Bengtson who were joined by the car's designer Pelle Petterson. After a short speech by Claes Rydholm of Volvo Cars Heritage, a toast was made for the car and the people who created it, and then a recreation of the 1961 photo session took place. Two Jensen-built 1961 cars – one red and one white on red number plates (indicating a new car in those days) just like in 1961 – acted as the stars around which the people gathered. The interest was just as great today as it was 50 years ago.
Members of the press examining the car in 1961 and the same spot 50 years later with P1800 development engineer Rune Fritsby, back to camera, tallking to the owner of O 817, Mikael Theander.
After the lunch, a specially-designed birthday cake in the shape of a P1800 was served with the coffee and there were intensive talks going on at every table about days gone by. Happy memories bounced all around the room and for those who needed to freshen up their mental calendars, the newly published book about the birth of the Volvo P1800 was introduced by one of its authors, Kenneth Collander, and handed out to those present.
The designer of the P1800, Pelle Petterson was honorary cutter cut the specially-designed jubilee cake.
This event was staged jointly by Volvo Cars Heritage and Volvo Car Sweden in order to pay tribute to the 1800 and the people who creted it and was one of a series of celetrations of the car during 2011.
