Extortion Plot Foiled
by Melissa Bailey | November 24, 2008 2:00 PM | Permalink | Comments (27)
(Updated Nov. 27, 2009: The ringleader in this case received a three-year jail sentence.)
Armed with an incriminating photo, a band of blackmailers hustled $200,000 from a prominent New Haven attorney. They demanded more — then Det. Robin Higgins and her "take-down team" stepped in.
Seeking help after a year of torment, the attorney came to Higgins in October. One day later, she had the first suspect in handcuffs.
A 17-year veteran of the city police force, Higgins (pictured) is one of the top detectives who handle sex-related crimes. When the department learned of a high-profile extortion case, they sent it right to her.
Higgins and Det. Angela Augustine-Day sat down with the attorney and heard his story for the first time.
"He was desperate," Higgins said.
The man, an elderly New Haven attorney whom Higgins declined to name, told of a pattern of abuse that was threatening his marriage and his reputation and draining his retirement funds. Vexed by the matter for a whole year, he had shed 35 pounds.
At first, she said, he "acted like a lawyer," telling her what to do. A 43-year-old mother of two young kids, Higgins speaks in a warm but assertive manner. She laid down the ground rules. "I said no — you're going to answer my questions."
He did. He told her he had spent the last year under the demands of a band of street criminals who had gotten their hands on an incriminating photo.
The photo showed the attorney getting oral sex from a female prostitute named "Mama," according to someone familiar with the case. Someone, apparently in cahoots with Mama, had snapped the photo and turned it into a business opportunity. The attorney's face wasn't in the photo, but the evidence was damning enough to prompt him to pay thousands of dollars to keep it from his wife.
At his first estimate, the attorney figured his blackmail payments had totaled about $100,000.
"It sounds like the Sopranos or something," said Higgins, recounting the tale one recent afternoon at a downtown bookstore cafe. She found out it was true. Police would later calculate he had spent twice that much, about $200,000, trying to keep the secret safe.
The pattern of extortion started about a year ago, when a former client came to him with the photo, Higgins said. The client threatened to show it to his wife unless he paid money. The attorney complied, handing over some cash in envelope.
Then the alleged blackmailer got some friends in on the business. Strangers, using aliases, started calling the attorney, demanding up to $5,000 in cash at a time. For a year, the requests kept pouring in — from six, seven, eight different people.
"They kept coming back, kept coming back," said Higgins. They threatened to tell his family. They even showed up at his house.
For a year, the attorney declined to turn to police because he didn't know if he'd get busted for the incident in the photo, Higgins said. But when the alleged blackmailers approached his wife, he felt he didn't have a choice. After the secret got out to his wife, he turned to the police.
At that point, the attorney had been digging into his retirement savings to make the payments, Higgins said.
"He was a sad, desperate man."
The Take-Down Team
On the same October day that the attorney went to Higgins for help, he got another blackmail request, according to Higgins. It came to his office through his fax machine. The person left a number to call.
Higgins told the attorney not to call the number back; she would take care of it. With three cops for backup, Higgins zeroed in on the suspect the next day. They followed the fax number to its origin. At the end of that electronic trail, they found their first suspect. They made the arrest on the spot.
Before much longer came a second opportunity to put the blackmailing to a stop. An arrest warrant tells the story of how a sting operation netted three more suspects in the case:
On October 28, the attorney got a call from a man named "Germaine," according to the warrant. He also got a visit from an unknown man at the reception desk of his downtown office. While he was on the phone with Higgins, he got a knock on his office window. He didn't see who was there.
Higgins told the attorney she would be right there. At the office, cops didn't find any mystery visitors. They did find a note from the visitor with a phone number. With the number in hand, the detectives agreed to set up a time the next morning to bust the blackmailer.
They headed back to police headquarters to hatch a plan.
At 9:20 a.m., Higgins gathered the special investigations unit and gave instructions to six different teams.
She dispatched five teams to stake out the perimeter of the attorney's office, in unmarked police cars.
Inside, Higgins and three others would serve as the "take-down team." They set up a recording device on the attorney's phone and instructed him to call the blackmailer. They gave him an envelope of $100, divided into one fifty-dollar bill and fifty ones.
The idea was to lure the suspect to the office, where cops would be waiting to catch him red-handed with the cash in hand.
At about 9:30 a.m., the plan was a go: The attorney called Germaine. He wasn't there. They didn't leave a message. He didn't call right back. So the attorney called the next on the list of alleged blackmailers, a woman by the nickname "Tameika." She didn't pick up. But she saw a missed call and called the attorney back, demanding $2,000. She agreed to come to the office to pick up the money.
She arrived at the office in the passenger seat of a red vehicle. She went into the office, took the envelope from the attorney, and headed for the door. As she left the office, she was met with a surprise — 14 police officers waiting for her. Cops took the money and immediately slapped her with a litany of charges: Five counts each of first-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit first-degree larceny and second-degree harassment.
The man who had driven her to the office was detained, too. Cops had the attorney come look at him. The attorney identified him as a man named "Joe," who had allegedly blackmailed him three times.
As Tameika and Joe were taken to police headquarters for questioning, a third suspect fell into the grips of another sting.
The attorney tried to reach Germaine again. Two minutes after they called him, a man named "Jeff," aka "Bogey" called back. He demanded $4,000. The attorney agreed to pay the fee, but Jeff had to come to his office, according to the warrant. Like Tameika, Bogey took the fall — he took the envelope of money and got slapped with five counts of the same charges as Tameika.
Down at police headquarters, Tameika admitted to shaking down the attorney once before, according to the warrant. She said she was introduced to the attorney through a friend named LaShonda. The friend had gotten her hands on the incriminating photos, and told her she could make some money, too.
The suspects who were arrested were small-time criminals with not much money and histories of robbery, larceny and gun charges.
At headquarters, Bogey "thanked us for arresting him because he was tired of living the hard life," Higgins wrote in the warrant.
"This Policing Thing"
With four arrests in the hopper, Higgins said there may be more to come.
The Sopranos-style case has capped a career that began in the records division as a civilian clerk. From her seat at the records desk, she took a look around at the police at work.
"I thought, I could get into this policing thing."
She was right — in 1991, she became a cop, patrolling the streets of Farren Avenue on a walking beat. Seven years later, she made detective. Along the way, she met her husband Ronnel Higgins on a domestic violence case. Higgins, a former Independent cop of the week, is now assistant chief of the Yale police department.
Now she maintains the sex offender registry, teaches about sex crimes at the police academy, and is one of the top detectives in the city's special investigations unit.
A modest person, she thanked the detectives that backed her up on this unexpected, high-profile case. She downplayed the work she did in cracking the case — "It just fell in my lap," she said.

Recognition is way overdue for Det. Higgins. She does a remarkable job in the investigations division and her personable demeanor makes her a valuable partner in collaborations with local law enforcement agencies. I know I can always count on her for assistance! New Haven is in a great position to have her and her husband on their side- keep up the great work Robin!

Did the Lawyer get arrested for patronizing a prostitute?
Posted by: Eye Spi | November 24, 2008 8:42 PM
Well the cat's out of the bag now because there aren't too many prominent elderly attorneys in town who have a ground-floor office and have lost 35 lbs in the past year.
Posted by: Chris Gray | November 25, 2008 1:05 AM
Boy, that's beginning to look to be an impressive list and, eventually, I hope to delve into all of those stories but, as one whom highly values professionalism in policing, this sure appears to be fine work.
With all the carping about our police and how they are employed, some from me, it is excellent that the NHI has this series to commend the many who serve the public so well.

And three days later Det. Higgins joined me and other parents at our childrens' school for the kids' Halloween parade. All in a week's work for a great woman! Cop of the Week? How about Working Mother of the Year?? Congrats, Robin! xo

Well told story...i could almost hear the Law and Order gong go off at every paragraph.
Posted by: Mister Jones | November 25, 2008 3:18 PM
Nice story, but...
This article does not seem to be up to the Independent and Melissa Bailey's usual standards. It's devoid of any real facts, such as the names of the victim and the accused, or any follow-up on the prosecutions. There are details but no verifiable facts. While I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the story, at the same time there's nothing in it suggesting that the reporter did her fact-checking, and nothing to allow readers to do their own fact-check.
Ordinarily, the arrest of four people in an extortion scheme involving a "prominent" attorney would be news, especially as "there may be more to come." A big operation like this, with fourteen cops mobilized, sounds like news to me.
Without more, I am sorry to say this just reads as a puff piece.

"Mister Jones"
Not every thing makes it to the papers, much by design. These facts are very easily proved, even by someone such as yourself. To insinuate that this case is bogus, shows your complete ignorance of how the police operate on a daily basis. This job is not done to promote news articles, or to make headlines. Most of the police would appreciate it if most of this never makes the news, due to the fact that it gives away how we conduct investigations.

NHPD you misunderstand my comments, which were directed towards the journalism, not the cop.
I believe the story. No insinuation intended.
My point is that good journalists and news organizations--like Melissa Bailey and the NH Independent--get facts, check facts and print facts. This story had precious few facts. No victim name, no perp names just aliases and no info of status of their cases some four weeks after the arrests. "These facts are very easily proved, even by someone such as yourself." Sure, if I had the names of the accused I could look up their cases, but I don't, so enlighten me. How am I supposed to find out more?
I understand that the story was intended to profile Detective Higgins, but the great story of her work on the investigation and arrests overshadowed the human interest angle. As a reader I was left looking for more meat on the bones of the story.
The legal community was buzzing about this story yesterday. Nobody had heard of it until the Independent published. Lest you think I am just looking for salacious details, remember that there is a public interest--deterrent effect--in publication of this kind of news. The chief publicizes his prostitution sweeps with photos of "alleged" hookers and johns, but this story got no play until the cop-of-the-week article. This story is a cautionary tale of what can go wrong with so-called victimless crimes.
Posted by: Paul Bass | November 26, 2008 9:28 AM
Mister Jones -- Thanks for the thoughtful critique of the article. We do always wrestle with these questions of what information to include and what not to include in a crime story; these are complex questions, and I by no means assume that we have the right answers.
In general we don't print the names of people who are arrested unless we've interviewed them. (Exception: public figures, who understand that's a price of their position, the public's right to know.) Our concern is that people publicly accused of a crime can't get their reputations back if they turn out to be innocent. As you and others argue, there are countervailing arguments, such as the public's interest in knowing if a dangerous creep lives door (or even an allegedly dangerous creep). That's why I think it's complicated; at this point we try to err on the side of "do no harm."
As for the name of the victim here, I am positive he wouldn't want his name revealed. He'd become a victim a second time. Yes, patronizing a prostitute is illegal. But being the victim of a cruel extortion scheme that wrecks your life is not illegal, and that was the issue with this story. Again, there are legitimate arguments in favor printing his name, too. Again, we're erring for now on the "do no harm" principle.

My apologies mister jones, you are right, I did take it the wrong way.
Posted by: MONICA | November 30, 2008 3:21 PM
This story has been sanitized. Everybody knows oral is not sex. A former President and Yale Attorney made this point ten years ago. He is still married.
There were 2 ladies. One in action and one with a camera. Was it a party.
I think that the info came from one of the ladies Chief Lewis recently busted as a plea bargain. I doubt if it is an elderley prominent attorney. That man could retire. I think it is a senior Yale person, a prominent businessman or a senior City official.
I also think Bass is playing the politically correct here. I just reported the facts. I did not give names. He knows the Register or the Advocate will jump on this when the case goes to court. The upstanding citizen may not be named in court but everyone will see him entering and leaving court.
Good work Bass. You know the Register is bust and will print anything. WTNH always needs a story.
From the names the ladies were African Americans. If the man is that scared his wife must be a devout Catholic. Italian, or Polish. Not a good situation.
I doubt this will be posted.
Posted by: Mister Jones | November 30, 2008 6:54 PM
Thanks Paul. I respect your editorial judgment on this story. And NHPD, apology accepted. Sorry I led you to believe I doubted the cop.
This is still a great story, and great police work. I think it should have been bigger news and remain surprised that no other news orgs picked it up.
It's also a reminder of how nice it is to be able to have a reasoned debate in these pages about issues like this...

First of all this is a great story, well told. Since I am among the ranks of those who are about to see the death of my livelihood at the New Britain Herald, I felt the need to comment on a couple of thoughts expressed. I am a crime reporter, and do so for a couple of legimate reasons. Number one, it's fun. But more importantly I genuinely feel that it makes a difference in people's lives and to the community. I understand the New Haven Independent's stance on "do no harm." However, I wanted to present a different viewpoint. I do know it's a balancing act and have no issue with citing unidentified sources or not naming a victim if there is a legimate reason to hide their identity. But I do need to point out that I feel often when you contact an arrestee for comment you can wind up tainting thier court case - any comments made to a reporter can be used against them by a zealous prosecutor or judge. But I also feel strongly that arrests large and small need to be reported. It's not only the sensational that affects the quality of life for residents of a community. It's actually the petty crimes that have the most impact. Case in point: I covered three or four small arrest stories about kids (ages 18 - 23) committing small crimes about three years ago - two had burglarized a commerical building and two got caught switching seats (in full view of police) when pulled over for a traffic stop. All four arrests wound up having one thing in common: they were tied to heroin use. The two young burglars died of heroin overdoses in 2006. One of the car stop suspects is now serving a 22 year sentence for a string of armed robberies. I literally wound up following their lives and in some cases their deaths, one small arrest story at time. My overall point is (and yes I do have one, for those of you who've fallen asleep at this point), it's not always in the best interests of the community to hide their identities or kill an arrest story because they haven't been reached for comment. Just a thought to consider. Thanks for letting me spout.

And, of course, you are withholding the names of the arrestees because you have so much journalistic integrity.
Posted by: anon | December 1, 2008 11:42 PM
reading now your comment mr. bass, are you saying you have never printed the name of an arrestee without getting a comment from them? is this possible? You don't do that?
this is a pretty big story.
I think it is laudible to have that policy. I don't think you do actually have that policy, but I think it would be admirable though very problematic.
But let's say you do -- why don't you get on the phone then and call the arrestees?
Did NHPD refuse to tell you who they were? and if so, did you pander to this illegal refusal by "working with them" on it, to get this cop of the week story?
Can I get you to take dictation too?
Posted by: anon | December 1, 2008 11:55 PM
example: http://www.newhavenindependent.org/archives/2006/06/fourth_suspect.php
In this story where you did run the names, you did not even report attempting to contact the suspects or suspects' family, not even an attempt.
that was what I found in one quick search -- your claims just aren't true. In stories where you apparently feel you need to run the names of arrestees, for whatever readon, you don't even try to contact them.
You have no policy or standard. whim, bias, emotion, gut feeling, pressure from sources whatever, but intelligent plan? I don't see it
Posted by: Paul Bass | December 2, 2008 9:00 AM
Anon -- You're right. We definitely mess up sometimes -- including that example you found from two and a half years ago. We'll do our best to be consistent.
Posted by: Mister Jones | December 2, 2008 10:43 AM
Monica, forget your conspiracy theory. The extortion victim is a lawyer. The story was posted Monday afternoon; his name was circulating by the end of the day Tuesday. I won't repeat it, because it's just talk, the rumor mill, not verified, but not a city hall guy, biz man or Yale big shot. Is he prominent? I don't know. I've never heard of him.
Posted by: NHPDtoo | December 2, 2008 7:50 PM
Wow, although this was a great case, I think a lot could have been omitted in the story. Once a defense attorney gets to court, they get the information in the police reports. Obviously, Det. Higgins would have never given out so much information on such a lengthy investigation. Just where did you get all the information? I believe it was totally wrong to include so much information in this article....after all, this is real life, not Law & Order, CSI, or any other crime shows.....I wouldn't have a problem if you followed up as information became available, but it is apparent that there is a leak somewhere within NHPD. This was a disservice to Robin and the hard work that went into this case....this article gave it all away. You can bet I'd rather not be cop of the week than speak with Melissa.
Posted by: anon | December 3, 2008 8:49 PM
As to why lawyer wasn't arrested.
I don't have specific info on this case, or on NHPD's policies, but often victims like that aren't and the reason generally is that it would discourage victims like this from coming forward.
Obviously, extortion like this is a way more serious crime than hiring a prostitute and police are going to want to shut people like that down. They need the victim to report it.
They can charge the lawyer (if the statute hasn't run out -- it might have - he said he was living like this for what, at least a year?) but it wouldn't be the best public policy. No one being blackmailed would ever come forward.
maybe there would be other barriers to prosecution, but they would be sort of irrelevent when there is this overarching interest in encouraging someone like this to come foward.
Posted by: Latonya Bailey | December 4, 2008 8:03 PM
Wow! This doesn't surprise me about Detective Higgins reason being is that she is an excellent detective and person. She cares deeply about the lives of others and she shows it in her work also she doesn't take any mess she gets the job DONE!Personally I think she should of been recognized a long time ago if any one has had any contact with her they will also say when she is called on a case she handles it as if it was her own family! Great Job Detective Higgins Keep up the good work the Community LOVES YOU!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: streever | November 27, 2009 1:31 PM
Anon, you realize that this IS NOT a story about the lawyer's crime, nor about the extortion, but about a great cop?
You ask why wasn't the lawyer named. What about the extortionists?
Paul & the NHI did everyone a service here. The treatment was fair. A man who paid a woman for oral sex wasn't named, and several individuals who sought to turn that mistake into a life-long sentence were not named. Both did something wrong, but I'd argue the second group is clearly more wrong.
nice work Det Higgins! That's what this is really about.
Posted by: janet | November 29, 2009 9:01 AM
It's a great story. I'd like to see the critic produce something more compelling. Nothing is perfect. Blackmailers beware. I hope the lawyer's marriage weathered this crisis. Like Letterman, he should have called the police at the first hint of a shakedown.
"Everybody lies, especially about sex."
Cut the guy some slack. He's suffered enough.
The reporter told a great true story.
Posted by: grey | December 1, 2009 7:21 PM
Everyone harping on Bass for excluding the names of the arrested is just being lazy and sensationalist. Lazy because, from my own experiences in crime reporting, you can go down to the station and look at the arrest reports, they are public record. Sensationalist because, like Streevsies says, what these people's names are makes no difference. Unless you're like me and you just dig the gossip:
"Oh snap, yo! 'Bogey' got busted!"

Waynesboro Police are looking for a suspect in connection with the shooting death of two people at an apartment complex Friday night. Chief James Bunch says warrants have been issued for a man believed to have shot two other men in the parking lot of the Waynesboro Apartments, Ltd. on Gray Street.
Bunch says the shooting, which happened about 7:20 p.m., resulted from some sort of domestic altercation.
He said the victims, both black men in their 30s, were pronounced dead after being transported to Wayne General Hospital. Autopsies will be performed in Jackson.
Bunch also said the victims were not from Waynesboro.
Neither the suspect nor the victims have been identified.

The Gallery at the Millrace, opening Friday at 9 a.m., will be a new venue for viewing the work of the local artists who occupy Goshen's Millrace Center.
The center is two blocks west of downtown Goshen, adjacent to the recently dedicated Powerhouse Park along the old millrace. The gallery space will be inside Sweet Water Interiors at the same address. Visitors can park behind the building or in one of two public lots near the gallery.
Art collectors and downtown entrepreneurs Dave Pottinger and Faye Peterson, owners with Pat and Owen Weaver of the Millrace Center, have juried and placed on exhibit art in a variety of media from the center's five guilds and five individual studios.
The gallery will remain open through 9 p.m. Friday as a stop along the self-guided Goshen Arts Tour, formerly Goshen's annual Open Studio Tour, the focus of the downtown First Friday event. On Saturday, the celebration at the gallery continues from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
More than 100 artists belong to a Millrace Center Guild or occupy individual studio space there, and several of the exhibiting artists are expected to welcome visitors during the show hours. Most of the art will be offered for sale.
Studios at the guild which are also expected to be open during the two-day art tour include the Clay Artists Guild, the Jewelry Guild, the Painters Guild, the Photographers Guild and the Woodworkers Guild. Individual artists' studios include those of Wilma Harder, jewelry designer; Gail Janssen, fiber artist; Rachel Shenk, woodblock printmaker; Jim Shenk, guitar maker; and wood designers Gene Short and Jake Loewen.
Following the opening weekend, the Gallery at the Millrace will be open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with the same hours as Sweet Water Interiors. Also at the Millrace Center are Rachel's Bread, a European-style bakery and café, and the Goshen Farmers Market, open on Tuesdays and Saturdays throughout the year.

A: A golden english barley wine, it is light caramel colored, with a bubbly white head that dissipated quickly, as a cask typically does.
S: caramel, earthy, grassy hops, citrus, and slight booze. sweet toffee is also present.
T: huge waves of toffee, treacle, brown sugar and caramel followed by a big punch of earthy english hops with a slight citrus undertone. yum
M: thick and chewy, it is served almost flat which is great for a traditional cask ale.
O: one of my first english style barleywines, taste and mouthfeel stand out.

3.38/5 rDev -7.4%
A: This poured a clear gold with white head.
S: It smelled like lemon zest and sweet sugary caramel, with lots of bready yeast and a bit of grassy hops.
T: It tasted like grassy and waxy hops with sweet sugary honey and caramel. It had a delayed aftertaste that was straight bitter and crazy strong.
M: It was oily with a little carbonation. Nice and slick from the cask.
D: This had great body, but it didn't have great scent or taste. The lasting bitterness was harsh, so even though the alcohol was fairly well hidden, it still wasn't really easy to drink. This seemed more like an ESB than a barleywine, since the malt profile was so light. Not recommended.

The English portion of the barleywine series. On cask at the brewpub a few weeks back. Reviewed from notes.
Pour a moderate golden color with a bit of haze. Not too cloudy, but certainly can't see through it. The head is pretty good, especially for the style. Color is white and it has pretty good retention, eventually fading to a thin collar. The nose is a bit one-dimensional with a bit of bready malt and accompanying sweetness. There is a slight fruit presence in the background, but not near the depth of malt complexity that I would expect. The taste falls victim to the same problem. While this doesn't seem to be designed toward the caramel-ish end of the spectrum, it's still fairly one dimensional. Mouthfeel is medium and pretty decent. Decent enough right now; hopefully they held a keg or two back to see how this develops in time.

described as an English-style golden barleywine
a: served in a nonic half-pint, the beer is a pale golden-amber in color, slightly hazed, something of a surprise given the style expectations, with a cream-colored layer of carbonation that shows good retention
s: lots of pale malt breadiness, sweet fruits - pineapple perhaps, dessert pudding, pulpy english hops, okay but the beer seems to employ a very basic ingredient set - or at least a combination/procedure that doesn't yield much complexity in a style where such is often expected
m: medium in body with a low, creamy carbonation
t: bready pale and base malts seem to comprise the bulk of the flavor, hence the "golden" moniker, sugary but with plenty of earthy hop pulp flavors to compensate, not much yeast output here - quite clean, pretty basic raw malt and hop flavors - they blend well together, but without creating a beer greater than the sum of its parts
d: drinks well for a barleywine, alcohol pretty much absent to the senses

Writen by Alexandru / 0 Comments
It's very simple to know when spring is arriving. The sun rises in the earlier hours of the morning and sets later on in the afternoon. The days get slightly warmer. Spring flowers start to appear, birds start building their nests and the farmers deliver new-born lambs.
After a long and hard winter, spring it's like a miracle. I present you 66 lovely and colorful spring photography !

"Actually, we've been talking about making the Octagon smaller. We're considering making it smaller. [UFC matchmaker] Joe Silva wants it. I think he wants to turn the thing into a [expletive] bathtub. Have them fight in a little tollbooth."
UFC President Dana White discusses the possibility of eliminating a repeat of Kalib Stanes vs. Nate Quarry from UFC 83 by making the Octagon smaller. Would less real estate give elusive fighters like Lyoto Machida more problems inside the cage? Or would we just see a fenced in version of rope-a-dope? Smaller Octagon -- are you pro or con?

On Friday Forty-two employees of Noble Construction Equipment Incorporated were laid off. Sources tell NewsChannel 11 several employees are very upset about the sudden lay-offs, but afraid to speak out. They're afraid they'll lose their severance pay.
There are employees here who've worked at the Noble Construction Equipment Incorporated for 30 or more years. And for the first time in a long time, will be unemployed. NewsChannel 11 tried to talk to employees as they were leaving. "We have to leave? Were there any layoffs?" we asked the Noble Security Officer. "I don't know. You need to move out," he told us. We were forced off the property. We observed several employees packing up their vehicles and leaving.
Later in the afternoon, N.C.E. president Brad Rogers issued a state as to why he's laying off several employees. "Noble lost the supply contract with Caterpillar which was a significant portion (of our money)." Rogers also says there's simply not enough demand for the equipment they manufacture to keep the facilities going.
Noble employed 192 people. They are down to 150 now, since 42 employees were cut.
Rogers had a letter hand delivered to the employees stating a notice of closure. In the letter, he noted they will be closing their Lubbock Texas location entirely. That's supposed to happen November 7th, according to the letter.
"What's going to happen November 7th?" NC11 asked Rogers. "I don't know. It's going to be based on continuing economic conditions. We're putting together additional sales and marketing teams," he answered.
N.C.E. has four other locations and one in Mexico.
If Noble shuts down entirely, that means nearly 200 people will have lost their job here. Right now, Lubbock's unemployment rate is 4.4% as of July. Last year, it was at 3.8%.

Beyonce faced the media to preview her halftime show at the Super Bowl this weekend. But reporters got an earful. Beyonce sang the National Anthem....and then said, "any questions?" Obviously this was in regard to the fact she lip-synched the Star-Spangled Banner at the inauguration. Beyonce admitted so and explained why.
"I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra. It was a live television show and a very very important, emotional show for me. One of my proudest moments and due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check, I did not feel comfortable taking a risk," Beyonce said.
Her next performance is Sunday during the Super Bowl.

CONWAY, SC (WMBF) – Congressman James Clyburn was the keynote speaker at Black Water Middle School Thursday for the school's Annual Black History Month Celebration, according to a news release from the school.
The Congressman spoke about the importance of honoring and remembering not only past African-Americans and heritage, but also all other nationalities and heritage. He spoke about not giving up after failure and continuing to try until success. He used his own political career as reference; he failed his first three times at getting into public office, he said. Congressman Clyburn was also presented with a certificate of appreciation from the school for attending.
The program also featured the 8th grade symphony orchestra, the Blackwater Middle School Voices choir, and a poem reading by a student.

On July 18th 2006, Clay Bennett sat at a table with then Sonics owner Howard Schultz. Schultz was in the midst of telling the Sonics Nation that he was about to sell our beloved Seattle SuperSonics to Clay Bennett and his Oklahoma investment group. At the press conference, Bennett stated that he would make a "good faith" effort at keeping the Sonics in the town that it had been in for 41 years.
In April 2007, Bennett made due on his good faith effort by trying to float over a $500 million arena proposal in Renton, which was immediately turned down by the State Legislature. And in August 2007, Sonics part owner, Aubrey McClendon affirmed all Sonics fans worst nightmare by stating that when the Sonics were bought in 2006 that "we [the OKC Ownership group] didn't buy the team to keep it in Seattle; we hoped to come here [Oklahoma]". The lies of Bennett had become painfully obvious, and on April 18, 2008 the NBA voted unanimously for the Sonics to move to Oklahoma. It was like a nightmare that no one in Seattle could wake up from.
Fast forward five years. Seattle Investor, Chris Hansen, and his powerful ownership team comprised of Steve Ballmer and the Nordstrom brothers come to an agreement with the Maloof brothers to buy the Sacramento Kings. Hansen and his team made it unmistakably clear that their intentions were to move the much maligned franchise north to Seattle. Hansen and his team had taken every necessary step possible in order for the NBA to return to Emerald City. The only thing that was missing was an actual team, which Hansen and his group had gone about purchasing and possibly moving the right way. No smoke and mirrors, no misleading the people of Sacramento, no false promises that never had a snowballs chance in Hell of coming through. Hansen and his team did everything the RIGHT WAY. THE RIGHT WAY.
With the news coming down today, that the NBA has voted unanimously to keep the Kings in Sacramento, I am only left with one conclusion or message that the NBA has sent out. And that message is that: CHEATERS REALLY DO PROSPER. If you back stab a diehard community, if you have a "special" relationship with the gatekeeper (Stern), if you go about everything in a shady and disingenuous way, then you will win in the end. On the flip side, if you go about a purchase and relocation of a franchise the honorable and honest route, then you will eventually lose.
Hansen and his team did everything above board when it came to the possible purchase and relocation of the Kings to Seattle. He walked the tightropes of the Seattle City Council with grace and confidence. He legally and honestly purchased the Kings with a clear agenda of wanting to move the Kings to Seattle. He even went so far as to offer Kings employees salary reimbursements if the Kings did leave Sacramento. Everything Hansen did was with honesty, and he always "played by the rules" when it came to the purchase and relocation of the Kings. Words cannot even begin to describe how dynamically different Clay Bennett and his cronies went about their purchase and relocation of the Sonics. But yet, those CHEATERS, those BACKSTABBERS, those SHADY CROOKS won, and we didn't.
The message that the NBA has sent out today is crystal clear. If a city wants a team, they are going to have to get it by whatever means necessary, even if that means bending, breaking or obliterating the 'rules' that are set in place. Apparently, you need to be a brownnose with Emperor Stern, you need to break a city's heart, you need to pretend after the relocation is over, that it actually never happened. That's what Bennett did in 2008, and some five years later, it's his little pudgy face that gets to sit courtside while one of the best basketball players of all-time in Kevin Durant, leads his Blunder to another possible NBA Finals appearance.
I would never say that I wish Chris Hansen would have gone about this whole purchase and relocation of the Sacramento Kings the "Clay Bennett way"; but it does make you wonder. Hansen went at this with the most honest and forthright intentions, but yet as the snake-bitten Seattle sports fans that we are, we are still left here without our Sonics. Message received loud and clear David Stern. Message received loud and clear Clay Bennett. Message received loud and clear NBA. In your world, cheaters really do prosper. I just don't know as Seattleites if we really want to be playing your game. Maybe this will all change when Stern steps down in 2014, and Adam Silver steps in. Maybe that can be Seattle's "Silver-Lining" today. But outside of that, it is a tough day to be a Seattle SuperSonic.

There's still a chance you're going to be paying more to fill up your car. Governor Terry Branstad says a gas tax increase is still a possibility this legislative session. This is something the legislature has considered doing for years and insiders say there may be a better chance it actually passes this year.
Terry Thompson of North Liberty fills up his truck a few times a week.
"It really gets to me, the prices and everything," said Thompson.
It doesn't come cheap, which is why he definitely doesn't want the legislature to pass a gas tax increase that would mean he'd pay more each time at the pump.
"It's a hundred bucks every time I fill the tank anyways and eight cents, well, that's 110 bucks," said Thompson. "It takes a lot out of the year."
The Iowa legislature is considering raising the gas tax eight to ten cents more per gallon. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation, the move would bring in $215 million for road projects, which has the support of some.
"If it goes in it's going to be constitutionally protected," said Bret Finnegan, Vice President of LL Pelling. "It doesn't get spent for anything other than the roads and bridges and the infrastructure of Iowa."
LL Pelling is a member of Associated General Contractors of Iowa. The group backs the hike.
Even though a gas tax increase would cost his company money, Finnegan thinks it's a necessary move.
"We haven't really seen any major improvements and stuff out on the interstate system for a good number of years," said Finnegan
Governor Branstad has said he'd support a gas tax hike if it's passed by the legislature, but only if lawmakers approve a property tax decrease and other taxes paid by Iowans.

This review is from: BELKIN E9K9000 Wireless N900 Dual Band N+ Router IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab, IEEE 802.11a/b/g, IEEE802.11n
Pros: I have 5 iPhones, 3 Xbox 360's, two computers wired, a laptop wirelessly, and a wireless printer all connected to it. Let me just point out that I have an open NAT type on all three xbox's in the same game lobby and a perfect connection every time. I am highly impressed with how this router handles the traffic of all of our devices. I highly recommend this router.
Cons: In my opinion, NADA
Other Thoughts: Verizon Fios Actiontec router is TRBL. Extend it to this for multiple great connections on your xbox's.

News: Kim Kardashian Ringing 'KimYe' Wedding Bells? "She & Kanye Discuss Starting A Family Just As Much As They Talk About Fashion"
Thursday, Aug 30, 2012 8:29AM
Reality star Kim Kardashian and current boyfriend Kanye West are reportedly inching closer to a potential wedding date in light of a recent bridal gown the celebrity diva tweeted.
According to inside sources, Kim and Kanye are infatuated with the idea of starting a family together.
Friends of the couple tell OK! , Kim can talk baby for hours. "She and Kanye discuss starting a family just as much as they talk about fashion. If they start off talking about heels then somehow the topic changes to 'Well, you can't wear those sky-high heels when you're chasing around a baby,' and then it goes into how she wants to start a family." (OK! Magazine)
Kardashian stirred up the speculation with a revealing Twitter photo a few days ago.
Kim Kardashian tweeted a sexy over-the-shoulder photo of herself in an Emilio Pucci wedding gown! Are wedding bells in her future? Kim Kardashian is no stranger to wedding gowns, but considering the fact that she's not engaged, we want to know why she tweeted this photo with the description,"Late night fitting #pucci." Why is she being fitted for an Emilio Pucci gown!? Is there something that we should know about Kim's relationship with Kanye?! (Hollywood Life)
Earlier this month, reports surfaced online which claimed Ye designed an engagement ring for Kim.
Insiders have revealed that Kanye is working with a private jeweller to create a custom-made ring for his girlfriend. A close source told RadarOnline: "Kanye picked out some of Donda's most expensive pieces, including some diamond earrings and a ruby ring. He then gave them to a private jeweller friend to make Kim a one-of-a-kind engagement ring." (Weddings News)
G.O.O.D. Music's Common recently gave his thoughts on Ye's current love life.
"Oh man, they are great -- they are a great match," said Common, one of Kanye's best pals and musical partners, when asked about the famous romance during the Season 2 premiere of AMC's Hell On Wheels. So what makes Kimye a match made in reality star-rapper heaven? Their love, of course. "Love is the biggest key to a good match," he said. "I think they have that." (Wet Paint)

Do consumers have to dispute debts in writing in order to avail themselves of the protections of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA)?
The Second, Ninth, and now Fourth Circuits all agree: the plain text of the FDCPA, even when the result is a wee bit odd, controls. Oral is okay, but written brings more protection. And then, there's the Third Circuit, which is willing to read things into the text that aren't there, for the sake of making the statute make sense.
What's got the circuits split? It's a question we see all too often: sloppy statutory drafting or intended as written?

Past and projected global surface temperature change (relative to 1980–1999), based on multi‑model averages for selected IPCC scenarios
Additional information
The geographical coverage for the figure relate to the world.
The bars on the right of the figure indicate the best estimate (solid line within each bar) and the likely range assessed for all six IPCC marker scenarios at 2090–2099 (relative to 1980–1999). The horizontal black line has been added by EEA to indicate the EU Council conclusion and UNFCCC Copenhagen Accord objective of 2 °C maximum temperature increase above pre-industrial (1.4 °C above 1990 because of about 0.6 °C temperature increase from the pre-industrial period to 1990).

The agency says outlets need to rethink running ads that make false claims.
The FTC approved J&J's bid to buy Swiss device maker Synthes, but, as with European regulators, the green light came with a caveat: J&J must divest its DePuy Orthopaedics Trauma business, as it would otherwise dominate the US wrist fracture market.
The makers of POM Wonderful pomegranate juice are firing back at the Federal Trade Commission with an ad campaign featuring the tagline: "FTC v. POM: You Be the Judge."
Federal regulators gave IMS Health the go-ahead to buy SDI Health, and IMS's parent company must now divest two SDI product lines.
An Abbott iPhone app is drawing attention to the practice of compensating bloggers for app reviews, as some call into question the ethics of pay-for-play online PR.
Pharmaceutical advertisers use an array of tactics to gather information about online health seekers in a way that is unfair and deceptive, consumer advocates have charged in a complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
A judge magistrate said that federal antitrust officials did not overstep or share confidential information while probing whether Cephalon illegally settled patent disputes with Watson Pharmaceuticals and others, but he disagreed with the way antitrust officials conducted the investigation.
A US magistrate judge ruled that the Federal Trade Commission overstepped its authority when the agency tried to pressure a generic drug company to enter into a business deal with a competitor.
Two senators grilled the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) yesterday over allegations made by Watson Pharmaceuticals that the agency used its subpoena power and access to confidential information to force the company into a business deal with a rival generics firm.
The FTC, which opposes reverse-payment patent settlements but has failed to muffle them via the courts or healthcare reform legislation, is now trying some new tactics: harassment, use of privileged information and attempting to force a pharma company to partner with another firm against its will.
The nomination of former Vermont assistant attorney general Julie Brill to serve on the Federal Trade Commission would, if confirmed, be the latest of several appointments to give the healthcare industry pause.

Morosi on Fielder and Pujols
A bit of a fluff piece, for sure, but it talks about some things that I believe. Though Morosi doesn't come out and explicitly say it, he does concede that over the course of the next 7-8 years, Fielder may be a better player than Pujols. I'll go further and say that I think he will be. And he will be cheaper. This article just makes me want Fielder even more to be the Cubs 1Bman next season. "Sensible teams pay for anticipated future performance, not simply past success."

1. "Amour" - So moved by Michael Haneke's unexpected (com)passion display; Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva deserve every acting award out there
2. "The Imposter" - Incredible true story with jaw-dropping twists and turns
3. "Zero Dark Thirty" - Bigelow & Boal become a force to be reckoned with
4. "Lincoln" - More muted than expected but the Spielberg/Day-Lewis pairing still a potent one
5. "Life Of Pi" - 2012's most ravishing film; reinvigorates the case for 3D
6. "The Master"- Loses its way a bit but Phoenix phenomenal… and long live Paul Thomas Anderson
7. "Rust And Bone" - Audiard twists melodramatic convention to marvellous effect; Cotillard is out of this world
8. "Hunt" - modern-day Danish Crucible with best-ever performance from Mads Mikkelsen
9. "Django Unchained" - Tarantino+slavery+spaghetti western=superb entertainment
10. "Holy Motors" - Leos Carax exhilarates with an all-kinds-of-crazy chauffeur-driven fantasia
1. "Zero Dark Thirty" (Kathryn Bigelow)
20-plus years after "Blue Steel" Kathryn Bigelow returns to a similar young female character working in a man's world and struggling to establish herself. This personal involvement along with a staggering mastery of multiple craft elements elevate this to perhaps her best film yet.
2. "The Kid With a Bike" (Dardenne Brothers)
The Dardennes make their most thematically complex yet at the same time narratively dense film yet in this moving story of redemption.
3. "Amour" (Michael Haneke)
Though at times as shocking as his previous films, this time the focus is on human relationships less cynical than usual, with the two central performances by Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva the best of this year.
4. "Flight" (Robert Zemeckis)
A big comeback for this great and underrated director, a film that Howard Hawks at his best would have been proud to make - dense, thematically rich, terrifically acted, entertaining with a precariously achieved balance of drama, humor and thrills. This has numerous great scenes and no bad ones - still the best definition of a good film.
5. "The Master" (Paul Thomas Anderson)
PTA's least accessible film, and one that failed to satisfy audiences, but as unsettling as any he has made. Once again, he focuses on a mentor/student pairing at the story's core, with a fascinating but unsettling dynamic at work that makes one question of who really is the master unanswered by the end.
6. "Holy Motors" (Leos Carax)
Only Carax' second feature in two decades, this exhilarating dream-like film is centered by Denis Lavant, a Carax regular, who plays multiple characters of stunning diversity. Though inspired by a lifetime of movie watching obsession, it is as original as any film around.
7. "Once Upon a Time in Anatolia" (Nuri Bilge Ceylan)
Visually stunning, with (as too rarely happens) the wide screen images given time to be examined while a murder investigation in a remote part of Turkey transpires over the course of a day, this is a tough but incredibly rewarding film.
8. "Barbara" (Christian Petzold)
Two doctors exiled to a backwater East German town in the early 1980s warily deal with each other, with their instincts of trust struggling against the oppressiveness of their country. With a great lead performance by Nina Hoss, it has the force of a thriller combined with a core drama that is both moving and satisfying.
9. "The Deep Blue Sea" (Terence Davies)
Terence Ratigan's play of post-war English adultery is transferred into a film that makes 1950s London as oppressive and unappealing as one could imagine. But even though the story includes tragedy, it still ultimately maintains some optimism against all odds. Rachel Weisz' acclaimed performance in no small part helps achieve this.
10. "Killer Joe" (William Friedkin)
In a year with many previous Oscar winning directors having new films, the most veteran of them all returned with a violent, idiosyncratic and inventive adaptation of Tracy Lett's lurid play about a hit man hired by some family members who want a relative's life insurance. Though it uses strong New Orleans-area location,, Friedkin keeps the basic play structure intact, allowing a versatile cast - led by Matthew McConaughey in his best performance in a great year for him - to become a wonderful ensemble, making what might have in lesser hands an over-the-top potboiler far more compelling.
(in no particular order)
"Beasts of the Southern Wild"
Behn Zeitlin creatively pulled off a fantastical dreamscape with elegant metaphors and floating imagery grounded by big ideas. A strange and natural story-telling, sparkling and lush imagery, and an astonishing perspective from the imaginative eyes of an extraordinary child.
"Silver Lining's Playbook"
David O. Russell's "Silver Lining's Playbook" was the most disarming and winsome movie I saw this year. It had a delightfully unexpected arc, fascinating characters, a rocking soundtrack, and was filled with heart-capturing, cliche-inverting moments.
"The Master"
The imagery in P. T. Anderson's "The Master" is indelible; I think I could recount every scene moment for moment after only seeing it once. Anderson's an expert at allowing his films to countervail, and he found a brilliantly detached and threatening eagerness in Joaquin Phoenix's character. While it didn't quite string together for me, on looks and power alone, it left for a heady and overwhelming impression.
"Anna Karenina"
In "Anna Karenina," director Joe Wright pulled off impressive, beautifully choreographed ensemble sequences, that never got campy (another favorite of the year, Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" played into this campyness with a softly ironic nostalgia that kept it from being too twee). Also worth noting is Terrence Davis' "Karenina"/"Scarlet Letter"-inspired "Deep Blue Sea," but Wright's take on Tolstoy's opus is a risky, evocative, and upends the expected period drama.
"Ai WeiWei: Never Sorry"
As the documentary rep on my list, Alison Klayman's "Ai WeiWei: Never Sorry" is a relevant, important and even portrait of the Chinese dissident and radical artist. The incorporation of technology was fluid, the stakes were established strongly and biography presented carefully. While it was clear that both Klayman and her subject had a strong point of view, there was no sacrifice of nuance.
"Take This Waltz"
Sarah Polley's second film, "Take This Waltz," is well-plotted, sensitive, and amazingly captures not only the glimmering beginnings of love, but hard and sad truths regarding a slow dissent of a relationship. While William's character was a little too 'quirky,' she played it gently and willfully. The carnival scene was spectacular.
"Cabin the Woods"
This was my favorite over-thinker of the year from reliable over-thinking producer Joss Whedon. As a movie that is an extensive practical joke, it nonetheless continued to find more to explode out of the genre that "Scream" started to rip apart. It's not as pretentious or mind-bending as it could have been, and makes a good choice by lettings itself be bantamweight and adopting the tone of a super-smart thriller.
"Premium Rush"
"Premium Rush" was the most fun I had as a moviegoer this year, but I do have a soft spot for both commuter cycling culture and compact thrillers. Zippingly cool imagery, and a great villain in Michael Shannon, the film buzzed with an undercurrent about modern urban rage.
The characterization of addiction in Robert Zemeckis' "Flight" is amazing; every beer bottle becomes a trap, a vodka handle becomes a villain, a mini-fridge becomes a hellscape. The film engages as we are caught in a slow-dive, tense every moment even though the airplane crash was over several minutes into the film. While occasionally heavy-handed regarding religion vs. personal agency, every actor was a powerhouse in their own way - standouts aside from Washington, in Cheadle and Goodman.
"The Kid with a Bike"
Belgian brother Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne paired gentle story-telling with Cecile de France's subtle acting in "The Kid with a Bike." Perfect, distanced filming. Though this was up for awards this past year, I saw it when it came out in the states in March. Just beak out Charles Petzold's "Barbara" - a similar story about a woman left on her own to care for other people's children - also brilliantly acted and gorgeously directed.

Great lists! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought TDKR has received undeserved praise.
raprap | December 28, 2012 1:39 PM
AMOUR for me was the best film this year. Hands down.
Simon Paiva | December 26, 2012 7:06 PM
Ok, I just need to say something here. I've been trough all the lists and I see that The Hobbit was not mentioned in any of them, not even as an " honorable mention", and I find that to be quite unnaceptable. Anyone with knowledge of Tolkien's book knew months prior to seing the film, that it was not going to be like LOTR, it's a different story, different aproach at times. But I didn't think the movie was dissapointing. It's Peter Jackson's return to Middle Earth after nine years, that alone for me made the movie the biggest cinematic event of the year. And it didnt made it into any of these lists? and movies like: Hunger Games, Premium Rush and Cabin in the Woods did? Seriously???
LeZee | December 21, 2012 7:53 AM
Really good specially Top5
JAB | December 19, 2012 8:23 PM
After revisiting "The Dark Knight Rises" & getting some distance from it on a 32" Blu-Ray TV screen after having 1st catching it on IMAX this summer, I think this film maybe even better than "The Dark Knight" & will go down as the most under-appreciated movie in an "awards season" since Michael Mann's crime classic "Heat". How long is Christopher Nolan going to have to wait for his Oscar?
(I loved "Lincoln" & "Argo" & really enjoyed "John Carter" & "Flight". Haven't seen "Zero..." yet, but I'm big fan of Kathryn Bigelow.)

Is a list from Meredith Brody forthcoming?
eurocheese | December 15, 2012 9:13 PM
Love all the lists and loved hearing Anne's comments on the podcast. It's been such a wonderful year for movies. In other years I've ended up passionately defending the one or two I really like, but this year there is so much to love. I'm hoping Jan/Feb just serve as catch up time to watch all the great films we had in 2012. We need more years where a slew of great directors make top tier work and we all walk away liking them more!
John | December 15, 2012 6:34 PM
I think I like Jacob Combs list best. No critic would probably put it in their top 10 list for the year, but I had a hell of a good time watching the Avengers. A few good movies (like the Master and Lincoln) I still haven't gotten around to seeing yet.
brian fantana | December 14, 2012 11:14 PM
so BEASTS is a better film than either DARK KNIGHT RISES or SKYFALL - seriously??? the absence of serious film criticism in this country is stunning (but then again not surprising given this blogger's history)

Yes, I know we've been through this a few times already, and it is still ridiculously early to make such predictions, but hey, why not one more time for kicks? Chris Forsberg asked a bunch of us blogger types to come up with a prediction of wins and losses this year.
I went with a 30 - 52 record. Why? I don't know. Thirty seemed like a nice round number and it was slightly better than the 29 wins ESPN had us pegged for. Hopefully I'm wrong and they are much better than that. And failing that, I hope we get lucky in the lottery.
Summer Forecast: A broken record? - Boston Celtics Blog - ESPN Boston
November might be a brutal stretch, especially if Rajon Rondo isn't ready to go (and looking Rajon Rondo-ish) at the start of the season. Also, the NBA has a tendency to eat their young, so expect growing pains. With all that said, Rondo and the "core 4" (Jeff Green, Avery Bradley, Jared Sullinger, Kelly Olynyk) should be good enough to win more than a few games and keep the team out of the basement.
So there's my blurb. You can read more at the link above and you can look for more of these panel type things from ESPN in the coming weeks.
But enough about what we think. Tell us what your prediction is - in the below poll and in the comments below if you are daring enough to go on record.

On February 4, Blackrock's iShares launched three new currency hedged ETFs as investors have increasingly sought exposure to foreign equity markets whilst minimizing the exchange rate risk. According to ETF.com, net inflows into the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ) totaled $9.7 billion, making it the second most popular ETF in 2013, after the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) which has seen annual net inflows totaling almost $16 billion. Despite the recent outflows in many equity funds, the DXJ ETF remains immensely popular, with year-to-date net inflows totaling $220 million.
An investment in an unhedged foreign equity ETF is for investors with a bullish outlook on foreign markets; but it is also effectively a short US dollar trade, because a strengthening dollar would reduce the returns of the ETF. Conversely, if the dollar depreciates against the underlying foreign currency, the unhedged ETF would outperform its hedged peer. Currency hedged ETFs attempt to match the local currency performance of the underlying index, which makes them particularly attractive with investors who expect the dollar will continue to strengthen.
iShares' three new ETFs will track MSCI hedged equity indices which are already being tracked by ETFs offered by Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management's db X-trackers series of equity funds. Whilst the new iShares ETFs will initially be very small, these funds will minimize costs by investing in a combination of their related unhedged parent iShares ETFs, which already track the underlying MSCI indices, and foreign currency forward contracts.
The new iShares ETFs are:
1. The iShares Currency Hedged MSCI Japan ETF (HEWJ), which will invest in the iShares MSCI Japan ETF (NYSEARCA:EWJ). This ETF will compete directly against Deutsche's db X-trackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DBJP). It would also compete against the more popular WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund. WisdomTree's ETF tracks its own proprietary index of large-cap dividend paying Japanese companies, with a tilt towards companies with a more significant global revenue base. Net inflows into the (unhedged) iShares MSCI Japan ETF totaled $7.1 billion in 2013, making it the fourth most popular ETF in 2013, according to data from ETF.com.
2. The iShares Currency Hedged MSCI Germany ETF (HEWG), which will invest in the iShares MSCI Germany ETF (NYSEARCA:EWG). This ETF will compete directly against Deutsche's db X-trackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity Fund (DBGR). The MSCI Germany Index tracks the performance of the 55 largest listed stocks in Germany, which covers around 85% of the German equity market.
3. The iShares Currency Hedged MSCI EAFE ETF (HEFA), which will invest in the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSEARCA:EFA). EAFE stands for Europe, Australasia and the Far East, and the MSCI EAFE Index measures the performance of equity markets in twenty-one developed countries excluding the U.S. and Canada. This ETF will compete directly against Deutsche's db X-trackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity Fund (DBEF). Net inflows into the (unhedged) iShares MSCI EAFE ETF totaled $6.3 billion in 2013, making it the seventh most popular ETF, according to data from ETF.com.
With iShares moving into the currency hedged equity ETF market and increasing net inflows into such funds, investors will likely benefit from increasing choice, competition and scale. On February 10, Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management announced that it would immediately reduce their investment advisory fee from 0.50% to 0.45%, for the db X-trackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity Fund and the db X-trackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity Fund. The db X-trackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity Fund will continue to offer a total expense ratio of 0.35%. Deutsche's recent fee reduction leaves the db X-trackers series of ETFs with a slightly lower total expense ratio than all three of the corresponding new ETFs offered by iShares.
As the Federal Reserve starts to move away from its expansionary monetary policy, central banks in Europe and Japan are unlikely to do the same given the slower economic recovery and the persistent risk of deflation. With such a scenario, where the dollar is likely to strengthen against the euro and the yen, currency hedged equity ETFs are particularly attractive with investors who expect equity markets in Europe and Japan will outperform domestic markets in local currency terms.

Budget cuts at the federal level will begin affecting the general population as early as next week.
Starting on Monday, August 15th, Social Security offices nationwide will close their doors half an hour earlier than they currently do.
For most people in Yuma and Imperial Counties, that means their local office will close at 3:30 PM each week day rather than 4:00 PM.
The Social Security Administration says employees will still work their regular shifts, but offices will close their so-called "public window" early in an effort to cut back on overtime by ensuring everyone has been helped by the time employees have to clock out for the day.

text: Because for now the conference is stabilized with the additions of TCU and WVU, and the decision for further expansion will only be made when a new Big 12 commissioner is on board. Chuck Neinas will be gone on July 1, but it is expected that his replacement will be on the ground and running by then and the possibility exists that there could be a final decision already in place regarding expansion.So the question is who would be the prime candidates? The usual suspects are always thrown out there: BYU and Louisville to name two. It's not much of a secret that Louisville will be added sooner or later as the 11th member, but right now the spot for a 12th member is up for grabs. In many circles BYU is a long shot because everyone is tired of the difficulties in trying to work with them. Recently, the Cougars have once again been in contact with the Big 12 on joining, but so far the conference has taken a pass. Another reason the conference might not be interested are a number of rumors stating that that the Big 12 will seek to expand eastward, rather than travel beyond the Rocky Mountains. The big name cropping up on their radar: Florida State University. If you ask Luck who he wants to see join the Big 12 he has both Louisville and Cincinnati at the head of the list. That would not bode well for the Big East or Mountain West Conferences. A two-team loss in the Big East would call for the addition of two new members, and with the recent raids on CUSA, the next raid will undoubtedly come at the expense of the Mountain West Conference. But even if the Big 12 poaches teams from the ACC instead of the Big East, FSU and Clemson for example, the domino effect would lead to the Big East eyeballing the MWC for several more of its teams.

And keep the Big East name. And maybe the Garden. Meanwhile, Rutgers will be stuck in the Schlubby Schlub Schlub Conference for a year... and maybe not even have a conference tournament. Maybe they can find a way into the B1G next year.

Not too long after it was discovered, the string of characters floated around the Internet and ultimately landed Twitter, and just to read these letters in your timeline was enough to crash your Twitter app. A Russian tech site claims that Apple knew about this defect for six months without doing anything about it.
These magic Arabic letters (we're not going to publish them here for obvious reasons) that make your technology go bye-bye carry out their deed simply by appearing on your screen. Anywhere that CoreText is generating user-generated characters – Twitter timeline, Facebook updates, even a list of available wireless networks – is a potential place to set a trap.
The bug affects both your iOS 6 devices and your OS X 10.8 setup (10.9 is unaffected). Facebook has already blocked these characters from being posted on its site.

There has been a lot of speculation regarding the Lions chances of trading down out of the # 2 spot and still getting a very high draft choice. Those chances may be severely diminished with the news that Seattle traded for a QB prospect.
Seahawks acquire QB Charlie Whitehurst from Chargers for 2011 3rd-rounder and the swap of 2010 2nd-rounders
LINK: http://www.walterfootball.com/freeagents2010recap.php
Seattle signed him to a two year $10M contract. I don't recall much about this guy but he was chosen in 2006 with the # 81 pick. Seattle is moving back twenty spots this year [# 40 to # 60] and giving up a potential mid third round or lower pick in 2011. It seems like Seattle is hedging its bets regarding the drafting of one of the top two guys this year. And without Seattle in the mix, there is almost no pressure on Washington to move up if they were interested in a QB and were afraid someone would snatch him at # 2.
I never thought the chances were very good that we would be able to trade out of the # 2 spot and in my opinion they are almost zero now. We will see.
