HRABOVE, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine has accused pro-Russian separatists of shooting down a Malaysian jetliner with 298 people aboard Thursday, sharply escalating the crisis and threatening to draw both East and West deeper into the conflict. The rebels denied downing the aircraft.
American intelligence authorities believe a surface-to-air missile brought the plane down but were still working on discovering who fired the missile and whether it came from the Russian or Ukrainian side of the border, a U.S. official said.
Bodies, debris and burning wreckage of the Boeing 777 were strewn over a field near the rebel-held village of Hrabove in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Russian border, where fighting has raged for months.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden described the plane as having been "blown out of the sky."
The aircraft appeared to have broken up before impact, and there were large pieces of the plane that bore the red, white and blue markings of Malaysia Airlines — now familiar worldwide because of the carrier's still-missing jetliner from earlier this year.
The cockpit and one of the turbines lay at a distance of one kilometer (more than a half-mile) from one another. Residents said the tail was about 10 kilometers (six miles) farther away. Rescue workers planted sticks with white flags in spots where they found human remains.
There was no sign of any survivors from Flight 17, which took off shortly after noon Thursday from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur with 283 passengers, including three infants, and a crew of 15. Malaysia's prime minister said there was no distress call before the plane went down and that the flight route was declared safe by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
President Petro Poroshenko called it an "act of terrorism" and demanded an international investigation. He insisted his forces did not shoot down the plane.
Ukraine's security services produced what they said were two intercepted telephone conversations that showed rebels were responsible. In the first call, the security services said, rebel commander Igor Bezler tells a Russian military intelligence officer that rebel forces shot down a plane. In the second, two rebel fighters — one of them at the crash scene — say the rocket attack was carried out by a unit of insurgents about 25 kilometers (15 miles) north of the site.

What's New in Asigra Cloud Backup v12:
- Cloud-to-Cloud Backup -- The latest generation software from Asigra redefines cloud backup with enterprise-class support for cloud application data. As an example, Asigra Cloud Backup now protects the complete Salesforce.com database, including accounts, contacts, leads, campaigns, and custom objects. When recovery is required, users have the option of recovering just the data or can recover both the schema and data. Users retain control of their Salesforce.com backup data and maintain security with AES 256 encryption in-flight and at-rest.
- Anytime - Anywhere - Any Device Recovery -- Asigra Cloud Backup v12 is the industry's first and only solution with the ability to backup and recover all enterprise data into a single repository. This includes the most comprehensive range of endpoint target coverage, including support for Windows, Linux and Mac desktops and laptops, Android/iPad tablets, iPhones, and Android smartphones. Enhancements include support for non-rooted Android devices for complete recovery of call logs, settings, applications, SD card data, calendar, alarm clock settings, music, SMS/MMS communications, bookmarks, photos and videos. With powerful recovery performance options, users are now able to recover any data to any location or device -- immediately if required.
- High-performance Snapshot Support -- Support for snapshots is also included in version 12, delivering more value by leveraging existing storage hardware investments. New capabilities include quick and efficient protection of large data sets (Big Data) using storage snapshots and a no-cost snapshot manager interface to catalog, configure and manage snapshots.
- Virtual Machine Disaster Recovery -- Protection against virtual machine failures with backup copies of VMs and instant activation of backup copies. Remote site protection is provided with backup of VMs to offsite data center(s) with continued business operations as data is recovered to primary site.

Asigra Cloud Backup is a secure, single end-to-end data protection software suite to protect data across physical, virtualized, endpoint and cloud operating environments. The hardware and software agnostic solution can be deployed as a public, private and hybrid cloud either as enterprise software or leveraged as a backup service through managed service providers (MSPs). Asigra's device coverage includes storage, servers, desktops and the broadest range of mobile endpoint devices including laptops, tablets and smartphones. The solution is ideal for SMBs and enterprises challenged with compliance concerns where data security is assured with NIST FIPS 140-2 certification.
Expanding the Recovery Services Opportunity for MSPs
Version 12 expands the total addressable market for service providers with the ability to recover data regardless of where it lives. With OS, device and application agnostic recovery, a customer's need to manage and maintain multiple data recovery solutions comes to an end. Now service providers can recover all data when and where it is needed with a single software technology. Backup service providers Powered by Asigra will also be able to meet and exceed demanding recovery time objectives (RTOs) with multiple options to protect and recover data, including file or image based recovery, snapshots and virtual disaster recovery. Beyond a highly differentiated product offering, Asigra delivers value beyond software for MSPs/CSPs with comprehensive marketing support, up-sell/cross-sell opportunities, zero channel conflict, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and industry-leading margins for the channel.
For more than 26 years, Asigra has remained 100 percent focused on its community of service providers (SPs), who deliver services Powered by Asigra or sell the software for private or hybrid-cloud deployment to their end customers. The company is committed to helping its partners become more agile and profitable by automating many of the manual management processes common with alternative technologies to reduce the cost of deployment, maintenance, license management and allocation of data recovery services.
Industry Quotes
- David Farajun, CEO, Asigra, Inc.:
"An advanced solution for the consolidated backup of physical, virtual, endpoint and cloud environments is here. Asigra Cloud Backup v12 is a powerful and encompassing data recovery technology that allows users to completely centralize all backup operations for the ultimate in confidence and control. This is essential for service providers who seek a competitive advantage while minimizing capital and operational costs and Asigra delivers on all counts."
- Dave Russell, Research Vice President, Gartner
"The cloud delivery model for backup/recovery is increasingly being considered for enterprise recovery requirements -- especially for desktop/laptops and remote offices, and for some organizations that are seeking tapeless implementations(1).Technology providers that stake a claim in this area will be able to provide real value that fills a gap in the IT services mix."
- Jason Buffington, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)
"Nearly half of all IT environments are looking to the cloud for part of their data protection strategy. With even more companies of all sizes moving towards production services in the cloud (SaaS), technology providers who can offer a complete solution that protects customers' on-premise servers, endpoint devices and cloud-services are in a great position. Those that enable regional cloud providers and local channel partners to offer new services and value to their SMB customers are even better placed. Asigra meets all of those descriptions."
- Steve Evans, IT Director, OnDemand Recovery
"The new virtual disaster recovery offering further accelerates Asigra past comparable solutions, increasing the breadth and depth of the solution. Increasingly demanding service level agreements (SLAs) is the trend we see from end-customers and v12 delivers the functionality we need to meet the most pressing customer challenges."
- Tom Dugan, President & CEO, Recovery Networks
"Asigra Cloud Backup v12 will provide us with increased competitive advantage in a market littered with management-heavy point products that are limited in scope and value. The new features bring enterprise features to organizations of all sizes for increased recovery performance and protection depth."

The best - and worst - investments in 2013
Where can you get the best returns this year? Rob Griffin asked the experts for advice.
Friday 04 January 2013
These are challenging times for investors. With rock-bottom interest rates, financial problems blighting countries around the world, and widespread economic uncertainty, it's certainly not an easy task to decide where best to put your money.
Is now the time to channel your cash into equities? Are bonds likely to offer much in the way of value over the next 12 months? Can you believe claims that property will provide decent returns? Should you be putting your faith in active managers, or opting for trackers?
We have quizzed a wide variety of independent financial advisers, economists, global strategists, stock-market analysts and fund managers to predict which will be the most successful asset classes, regions and companies in 2013 – and which are best avoided.
Asset classes
Geoff Penrice, a chartered financial planner with Astute Financial Management, believes the next 12 months could be good for equities, for two main reasons: the likelihood of improved economic conditions in China and the US, and the relative value of shares compared to government bonds.
"The FTSE is giving an income of around 3.7 per cent compared to five-year gilts yields of 0.8 per cent and 10-year gilt yields of 1.8 per cent," he explains. "There is also the prospect of capital growth from equities, but even if share values go sideways for a while they are still giving a better return than gilts. Companies are sitting on large cash reserves, which give them greater potential for growth in the future."
David Coombs, head of multi-asset investments at Rathbone Unit Trust Management, also likes the look of equities – particularly the US, Germany and Asian markets – but has serious reservations about fixed interest, which he believes offers little value.
"We don't like investment grade corporate bonds because they look expensive, as do most sovereign bonds," he says. "There are pockets of value in certain high-yield bond markets, but I will certainly be taking more risk by using equities next year at the expensive of most bond markets."
However, Ian Spreadbury, manager of the Fidelity MoneyBuilder Income Fund, insists that a conservatively run corporate bond portfolio with prudent liquidity management and access to good credit research offers the best risk-return mix for investors.
"It is too early to write-off investment-grade corporate bonds because there is still scope for decent single-digit returns in 2013," he says. "I expect the positive flows into the market to continue, although these will be met by falling levels of bond issuance."
Jason Hollands, a managing director at Bestinvest, favours both core Europe and global emerging markets – excluding China, which he believes is facing imbalances in its economy, inflationary pressures and rising social unrest.
"Global emerging market equities are now as cheap as they have been in 12 years, while persistent negative newsflow from the eurozone has resulted in prolonged outflows from European equities, which has led to an almost indiscriminate discount placed on European-domiciled stocks," he says. "As a result, the valuation gap between European global businesses and their US peers is at its widest level in a decade."
However, there may still be issues, warns Carl Melvin, managing director at Affluent Financial Planning.
"Emerging markets have greater growth potential than developed economies but will be volatile, and growth may decline from what we have seen," he says. "Europe will also continue to struggle until clear direction on government debt provides a resolution."
Darius McDermott, managing director of Chelsea Financial Services, believes 2013 will be similar to the past 12 months, with the developed world struggling to grow, interest rates staying low, and the eurozone issues unresolved.
"My contrarian bet for 2013 is Japan, which, after all its false dawns, is the least-loved developed market by UK investors," he says. "The yen has weakened recently, and if this remains the case, foreign investors should start to address their underweight positions in the asset class."
Stocks and sectors
David Kuo, director at the financial website Motley Fool, believes the coming year will be characterised by low interest rates, stubborn inflation and slow economic growth in the UK, with Asia expected to continue growing and the rebalancing of China's economy providing opportunities for investors.
"Given this backdrop I like consumer goods stocks with strong brands and an established presence in Asia, such as Unilever, Reckitt Benckiser, Burberry and Mulberry," he says. "Companies that can raise prices in the face of inflation, such as utilities, are worth looking at."
He also suggests that stocks with good cashflows and a record of raising dividends could lessen the pain of poor interest paid on savings accounts.
"The supermarkets and telecoms are still paying attractive dividends," he adds.
Helal Miah, investment research analyst at The Share Centre, believes there could be some interesting opportunities across the retail, technology, and mining sectors.
"Despite fear from businesses and investors of a repeat of the burst of the dot.com bubble in 2000, the technology sector is currently thriving," he says. "This growth has been attributed to the companies' global reach, consumer demand and increased sales. Investors will find some UK-based tech firms among the solid performers offering decent prospects."
Although the share prices of many commodity producers were disappointing in 2012 due to a combination of the eurozone crisis and a general slowdown in the global economy, Mr Miah expects mining and commodities to perform well next year.
"China is key to the outlook for commodities due to increased demand from its rapid industrialisation and status as the 'world's factory'," he explains. We believe China will pleasantly surprise as the effect of the new President comes to bear on the nation."
However, he is less enthusiastic about financial names.
"The banking sector is still one we would suggest investors avoid; despite the outlook looking a little rosier the problems remain," he says. "In the short term, politicians are pulling the strings, and with that in mind confidence in the sector is likely to remain low."
Andy Gadd, head of research at Lighthouse Group, suggests that merger and acquisition activity, which has been relatively muted since the 2008 financial crisis, may also pick up.
"The benefits of industry consolidation and cheap funding (for good risks) mean that many deals done now may have lasting benefits for shareholders in terms of operating efficiency, pricing power and sales and profits growth," he says. "With various equity markets currently trading on relatively low valuations, the benefits of buying rather than building capacity are potentially significant."
Jason Witcombe at Evolve Financial Planning advises people to put together a portfolio of UK and overseas assets with which they are comfortable and then rebalance it every year back to their pre-agreed target.
"I would encourage investors not to try to time their entry in and out of different markets or regions," he says. "If anyone could do this accurately, with any consistency, they would be sipping pina coladas in the Caribbean, not sharing their predictions with you or I."
Stock picks for 2013
Helal Miah, investment research analyst at The Share Centre, highlights four companies which have the potential to deliver over the coming year.
BG Group
Despite the recent downward revision for its 2012 and 2013 production estimates, we continue to rate the company as a "buy". Investors can consider the current lower share price a good buying opportunity for a long-term investment, but we do now consider the risk on the shares to be at the upper end of medium.
We recommend Mulberry as a "buy" for investors who are willing to accept higher risk and believe the recent pull-back in the share price represents an entry point for a long-term investment into a stock. Mulberry has great potential from its international expansion plans and the increasing numbers of affluent consumers in the emerging markets.
Inmarsat published a good set of interim results in early August on strong subscriber uptake, and the traction gained from its pricing initiatives, which was again reflected in its third-quarter results. Despite earnings falling short of analysts' expectations, Inmarsat believes it is well positioned to meet revenue targets for this year and next year.
Compass reported a strong set of final results, showing good levels of revenue and profit growth. Restructuring costs are likely to have an impact on capital returns in the short term, but any weakness in the share price could be an opportunity for investors.
Fund picks for 2013
Vanguard UK Equity Index
Geoff Penrice, Astute Financial Management: "For general equity exposure I am using tracker funds to provide a well-diversified investment in specific asset classes at a low cost."
Thames River Distribution
Andy Gadd, Lighthouse Group: "Thames River's flexible approach to asset allocation allows the fund to tap into specialist income opportunities which are overlooked by many of their competitors."
M&G Global Dividend
Darius McDermott, Chelsea Financial Services: "Global dividend funds are worth a look to add an extra level of diversification."

John Carroll High School Gala a huge success
FORT PIERCE - The John Carroll High School "Innovation in Education" gala held on Saturday, February 2nd was a festive celebration and was enjoyed by the generous supporters! The Most Reverend Bishop Barbarito, JCHS President Father Thomas E. Barrett, diocesan officials, school administration, staff, sponsors, alumni, parents, grandparents, volunteers, and friends of John Carroll showed amazing generosity at the event!
Each guest enjoyed delicious gourmet food, socialized with friends, danced, bid on nearly 150 auction items, and raised money for the school's technology plan! The theme "Innovation in Education" was chosen to highlight the new technology trends on the JCHS campus. Currently, the school has completed wireless infrastructure throughout the school, allowing teachers to utilize iPads in the classroom, and in the coming months, the students will also begin to utilize iPads as a learning tool. The funds raised at the event will help us acquire apple TV's in the classrooms, provide with funding for the students' iPads, and help to complete our cutting-edge technology plan.
The event would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors, including our event sponsor Coastal CyberKnife and Radiation Oncology. Thank you also to printing sponsor Total Print; entertainment sponsor Post Insurance & Financial; digital sponsors Norman Knowles DMD, Implant & General Dentistry; KFC of the Treasure Coast; Fort Pierce Orthopaedics; Harbor Community Bank; network sponsors KRK Enterprises; Mike & Miriam Burns; Tutus 2 Pointe Shoes; Berger, Toombs, Elam, Gaines, & Frank; Cheyne Family Chiropractic; Richmond Electric, Inc.; and top hat sponsor Coastal ENT.
A special thanks to Special Events Coordinator Sarah Pride and the amazing gala committee of Amy Thofner, Ana Marrero, Carollynn Somoza, Cathy Back, Gretchen McMinn, Jennifer Lszewicki, Jennifer Trefelner, Karen Assaly, Kathlyn Spasato, Kerri Gilmore, Liliana George, Melanie Carr, Melissa Guettler, Sue Davis, and Susan Schuetz.
An exciting element of the evening was the iPad drawing. All 50 tickets were sold prior to the event, which was not as the organizers had intended, but was a wonderful surprise. Congratulations to Maureen Leu for winning the 64 BG, iPad 3, which has a $600 value! Maureen is a former Advisory Board member, active volunteer, and mother of an alumna and current student.
Congratulations to long-time supporter and sponsor, Jackie Richmond, for winning the 50/50 drawing. Annually the Richmond family attends the event and has a wonderful history with the school, as well as future family members who will be attending JCHS.
Exciting bidding wars broke out in the live and silent auction rooms with some of the highest-selling live auction items being a stunning A.E. Backus museum proof, vacation homes, a Pelican Yacht Club membership, and personalized dinner parties. Nearly $20,000 was raised in less than one hour during the live auction thanks to the generous donors and spirited attendees.
The enthusiastic bidding continued in the silent auction room on nearly 100 packages. The most popular items included artwork, jewelry, outdoor adventures, fine wines, and more.
Thank you also to all the volunteers, auction donors, advertisers, and those who purchased tickets for the event. Together these generous friends of John Carroll High School joined together to support innovation in education and support quality education on the Treasure Coast.

Law enforcement is stepping it up to catch distracted drivers. The message about texting and driving is hard to ignore with law enforcement campaigns in full force across North Dakota and Minnesota. In Moorhead a two day sting stopped 90 vehicles and 44 citations were issued for distracted driving. But the newest way cops are catching distracted drivers may surprise you more than the numbers.
Extra cops are looking for the head bob, we've all seen it before, associated with texting and driving. But the way they're catching folks in the act might catch you off guard.
Get caught texting and driving,checking your email or even GPS in Minnesota and it will cost you about 130 dollars.
But for the first time ever in Moorhead law enforcement is taking a new approach. It brought me right back to the good old days and no bullies in the back row to say the seat's taken.
"We're on board these buses the last couple of days to send the message we are looking for distracted drivers. To help protect some of the most important people in our community... the kids that are going to school and riding the buses," says Lt. Deric Swenson of the Moorhead Police Department.
From their elevated view cops have a pretty good vantage point of what's in your lap.Time after time folks driving down highway 75 found out the hard way they were being watched. Which is actually comforting for Dan Bacon, the Moorhead Public Schools Transportation Director who offered up one of their buses to the police.
"Anything that I can do to get people to drive better around my school buses makes everyone's life a little safer and easier," says Bacon.
This school year alone about 80 tickets have been given to drivers passing school buses, when their lights were flashing and the arm was down which indicates kids would be coming next.
"With the advent of people picking up cell phones and texting it's just gotten worse," says Bacon describing how more and more people are driving with distractions.
Maybe this new campaign will help drivers associate better driving with big yellow school buses.
"Just to get people to understand that school buses are an important vehicle to drive safely around. So when people see a squad they tend to improve their driving. So if we can get people to see a school bus and say I need to improve my driving behavior, it would make things better for everybody," says Bacon.
The Moorhead Police say their campaign won't stop today. You'll likely see them again in the coming months. They add that they plan on using school buses in the future to further their message that distracted driving is against the law.
Also keep in mind two thirds of the school buses in Moorhead currently have cameras that are snapping photos of everyone who passes them illegally.

64oz growler poured into a Duvel tulip.
Pours a very dark brown, almost black, theres a small light brown head that fades really quickly. Nose is sweet and malty, it's got some nice juicy fruity hop notes as well.
Mouthfeel is good, carbonation is a bit low but it's held up well in the growler. There is a grainy taste in it that I get in all Black IPAs, but it's well covered by the fruity hop flavors. Earlier batches smelled much more heady & dank but this has a much more subdued note, it's bitter but not over the top. Very well done.

Growler received in a nice trade with Brad007... Thank a bunch amigo..
Pours with a dark tan head.. good retention.. the brew is close to black but not quite.... a very pretty clear deeep dark brown.
Nose is everything a Black IPA should be.. piney hops and a nice roasty element.. hints of cocoa.. very good.
Flavor mirrors the nose... citrus hops and pine battle it out among the roasted malts... despite the battleground, this one is well integrated and delivers nicely.
Body was a lite/medium with pretty descent carbonation given the cross country jostling..
I would buy this often if available to me.. The Boise crew really dug it too. Cool trade Brad.. let's do it again.

On tap at the Blackback Pub in Waterbury, VT.
Pours a dark, almost opaque black into a Hill Farmstead over-sized wine glass. One finger off-white head. Good sticky lacing all down the glass.
The aroma is floral hops, pine, and burnt malts.
The taste is much the same- very strong pine, floral, and grassy notes provided by the hops. The malts taste less burnt than they small, very roasty nonetheless. Very bitter. Maybe some slight vanilla flavors as well.
Creamy, smooth mouthfeel. Low carbonation.
A winner. Actually liked it a little better than James, the other black IPA I had this day, from Hill Farmstead.

On-tap at American Flatbread; served in a tulip.
Beer is black, with a 1.5+finger head that stays fluffy and leaves a good amount of lacing.
Smells like orange-zest and pine, with more and more chocolate roasted character as it warms.
Taste is bitter roasted malt with a good amount of citrus hops present. Both a malty and hoppy beer. The roasted component comes out more and it warms and has a bit of an astringent dryness to it. Finishes bitter.
Creamy on the mouth and lightly but appropriately carbonated.
A really good example of the style and an easy one to drink.

Poured a deep brown hue with a one finger off white head. There was good retention and lacing.
The smell featured burnt caramel and piney hops.
The taste consisted of an earthy roasted malt and sweet caramel with waves of piney hops.
The mouthfeel was typical of the style.
Overall a tasty BIPA.

Pours a pitch black color with a super creamy head which sticks nicely to the glass. A lot of hoppy flavors going on in there! Piney and grassy to the smell. Strong bitterness kick on the palate upfront. Finishes with a roasted malt dryness that lingers. Quite an experience for the palate with the bitter/dry feeling. This black IPA is bold, might not be loved by many but I overall liked its stong character.

This is my first time on this board. To be honest with you, I never thought I would be able to pay off my debt. I became disabled a few years ago and after being turned down for SSI I thought my life was just about over....literally and emotionally. Things have changed for me. I started selling some of the graphics I draw and started my own company, so now I want to pay off my debt. I could go bankrupt, and at times I feel that I should do it, but if I can pay off my debt I'd like to do it. I owe about $14,000 now.
My main problem started about ten years ago (I'm 38 now). My brother and I realized that we could easily get credit cards with very little effort. $3000 credit limits wouldn't last us long. We've learned from our mistakes. My other little brother (22 years old now)learned from our mistakes, but he learned in the wrong way. He's in debt now too and I want him to see me getting OUT of debt instead of seeing us wallow in it. He was a major receiver of our debt "good times". We would take him to the toy store once a week and let him buy anything he wanted.....times have changed tho..
I'm glad to see this support group here. For me, the time to do this is NOW. I don't like being in debt. I don't like the bill collectors calling and I'm tired of being afraid to answer the phone..:)

Such an incredible and beautiful child. 9 Year-Old Anaiah Rucker saved her little sister's life and almost lost her own. Anaiah took most of its impact herself, suffering a broken neck and life-threatening injuries and losing a leg. What an incredible
testimony of love, selflessness and bravery. Anaiah's grandmother said that her first words after regaining consciousness were, "Am I going to chorus today?" She's active in Sweet Home Baptist Church and the Boys and Girls Club in Madison. God Bless you Anaiah!
Get well soon!!

It was a wild one in Baltimore tonight, but after the rain ended and the dust settled, the Orioles had the win.
Miguel Gonzalez put the Orioles in an early hole and the offense wasted some key scoring opportunities as the Orioles lost to the White Sox 4-2.
The Orioles missed a ton of opportunities against Chris Sale early in the game, but all was forgotten when Chris Davis hit a pinch-hit, walk-off, three-run home run.
If someone told you that there would be a shutout in Sunday's Orioles game, you would have probably figured Masahiro Tanaka blanked the O's. Instead, the O's got three runs in seven innings against...
It finally happened. J.J. Hardy homered. His first of the year was the fourth of the day for the Orioles, who scored all of their runs via the homer in a 6-1 victory over the Yankees on Saturday.
Ubaldo Jimenez matched his career high with six walks, and Carlos Beltran delivered a walk-off three-run home run to end the Orioles' hopes.
Kevin Gausman continued his winning ways this afternoon as he threw six scoreless innings and led the Orioles to a series win in Tampa. Oh yeah, Steve was big again. You know who I'm talking about.
The Orioles beat the Rays, 7-5, on Tuesday, even though their streak of quality starts came to an end. Chris Davis hit a grand slam and Steve Pearce also homered to power the O's to the victory.

A level from the Megadrive game TMNT The Hyperstone Heist. The game was a port of Turtles In Time, without the time travel back story. This is an upload of the game to go with the review in my blog. The level is an original one for the game, which basically used the same levels as the TMNT IV, but mixed them around a bit. *WARNING:The audio is pretty bad, so don't have your volume up high.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration announced Tuesday that it has refinanced Louisiana's tobacco settlement bonds, though the state received nearly $60 million less than expected through the deal.
Commissioner of Administration Kristy Nichols said the state got $83 million in upfront cash from the refinancing, instead of the $142 million estimated when lawmakers and other state officials signed off on the plan a month ago.
Changing financial market conditions cut into the savings that were expected from taking advantage of low interest rates. Those interest rates had spiked higher in recent days amid signs of improvement in the national economy.
Treasurer John Kennedy had urged the administration to slow down the refinancing for further talks with lawmakers since the savings estimates had changed.
"I would have waited because I think the market was settling down, but I understand this is what happens when you get yourself in a position where you have to sell in order to balance your budget. I think they left money on the table," Kennedy said in a statement.
But Nichols didn't agree, saying the deal was still a good one for the state.
"By acting today, we took the prudent step to capture as much savings as possible and before a potential rise in interest rates," Nichols said in a statement.
The Division of Administration said the state's financial advisers supported the sale, to take advantage of a state marketing effort that had been completed and to get ahead of similar bond sales in the coming weeks that could compete with the refinancing deal.
If the refinancing had been postponed, it also could have created budget problems for the state and the Jindal administration. In the current fiscal year, $67 million from the bond deal is plugged into the TOPS free college tuition program.
"This is a smart financial deal for the state, generating substantial savings that can be used to help fund TOPS scholarships for Louisiana students," Nichols said in her statement.
Kennedy, a critic of the Jindal administration's refinancing structure, had suggested the deal should be revisited, saying it appeared to be driven by budget decisions rather than sound financial policy.
"This is a classic example of why you shouldn't balance the budget with smoke and mirrors," Kennedy said.
But he had no ability to stop the refinancing or slow it down.
As chairman of the Tobacco Settlement Finance Corp. board, Nichols was given sole authority over the transaction.
Louisiana is one of many states that settled lawsuits for claims of smokers' deaths and health costs against tobacco companies in 1998 in return for installments of money each year.
The state sold 60 percent of its settlement to investors for $1.2 billion in upfront cash through a bond sale in 2001, rather than risk tobacco companies going belly-up later and not making their settlement payments. The dollars were socked away into a trust fund. Interest earnings are used to help fund TOPS, along with other health and education programs.
It's those bonds that were refinanced, to take advantage of a lower interest rate for repayment of the borrowing debt.

I am a Montana native. After graduating from the University of Montana with a Bachelor's in Psychology, I ventured to San Francisco, the beautiful city by the bay. (I'm a northern Californian lover as well!) In the bay area, I began my career in job placement and recruiting for a placement agency in Palo Alto.
Soon after, I pursued my Masters in Communication at California State, Chico. While in my graduate studies in CA, my research focused on organizational socialization; organizational culture; job burnout; superior and subordinate relationships, and organizational change. My research has been mostly in the areas of healthcare and education.
I joined CWI as adjunct communication faculty, but began my collegiate teaching career in 2003 with University of Phoenix. I currently am teaching communication classes for both universities.
I consider myself extremely blessed, as I am a proud mom of two boys, ages five and seven. When I'm not playing mom or college instructor, I am training for marathons. I just completed #6 and look forward to running Boston again in 2015. I am outdoor girl that can't sit still! I love to ski, golf, swim, play basketball, and ride horses, all activities I love to share with my boys!

According to NationalDayCalendar.com, there's a quirky "holiday" for almost everything, every day. Take March 21: it's National California Strawberry Day. But French bread, known for its crisp crust, is also being celebrated. It's also National Fragrance Day.
Marlo Anderson, the co-founder of the website based in North Dakota, says more than 1 million users reference the site, which celebrates 1,000 unique unofficial holidays a year. The site researches submissions and then decides on national interest.
It's also National Puppy Day! It wasn't hard to find people celebrating at American Kennels on the Upper East Side. As if we need an excuse to celebrate the cute faces of puppies but the unofficial holiday was created back in 2006. The hope was to create awareness about orphan dogs that need homes. It's also National Fragrance Day and Single Parents Day.
If you're interested in creating a "holiday" with National Day Calendar, it costs about $800 and ideas have to be accepted by a selection committee.
One other holiday to remember: National Common Courtesy Day. Something as simple as holding the door for someone and saying "please" and "thank you" can go a long way. Not only will the other person appreciate it, it will make you feel good too.

The NFC West was bitten by the injury bug, as several defensive players left the field during Sunday's games. Here's a look at where the team's stand on Monday
Arizona Cardinals
Calais Campbell was injured against the San Francisco 49ers and was taken off via stretcher before heading to a Bay Area hospital for further testing. Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians addressed the media on Monday, telling them that Campbell was able to participate in a team walk through on Monday, and would undergo further tests throughout the week. It's unclear whether he will play this week, but Arians is hopeful he can play. The important thing is that Campbell is okay after sustaining a scary injury.
Wide receiver Brittan Golden caught a 53-yard pass on Sunday, but pulled his hamstring in the process. He is listed as "doubtful" for this week's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
St. Louis Rams
The Rams were the lucky ones in the NFC West this week, as Jeff Fisher's team did not sustain any injuries in their win over the Houston Texans.
San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers lost two players on the defensive line as Ray McDonald and Glenn Dorsey were both forced out of Sunday's game against Arizona.
McDonald attempted to play through pain, but was forced to leave the game due to a bicep injury. This forced the rotational Dorsey into the lineup, but he was forced out too. There is no further update on either player's status at this time.
Seattle Seahawks
Steven Hauschka attempted to tackle kick returner Darius Reynaud in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans, and was on the wrong side of the hit.
Hauschka left the field with a possible concussion and did not return. He will undergo the league's tests this week, and there is no official update whether he'll be able to play in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
