The story represented here is taken from Genesis, chapter 40. Joseph stands at the left and interprets the dreams of Pharoah's butler and baker, who had been imprisoned with him. The butler dreamed of filling Pharaoh's cup from the vine, and the baker dreamed that birds ate bakemeats intended for Pharaoh from a basket on his head. Joseph interprets these dreams to mean that the butler will return to Pharaoh's favor and the baker will be hung in three days.

Absolutely it is...Carson used his foul mouth, Bloomberg/Barrons etc. gave a platform to use his foul mouth...there has been no regulatory investigation on NQ since Carson's baseless allegations...for all practical reasons, NQ took time and complete internal audit and filed 20F - what more can you ask for?
I bought more yesterday, tried to buy today but missed it...NQ rocks! easy double this calendar year!
no fear...long & strong!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
NQ is going to thru consolidation, it moved from $5 to $10, profit taking is normal stock market reaction...$10 is next key resistance so it will go back and forth couple of times. November 2nd week earnings report will show us money and management aggressiveness...yes my NQ target for year-end is $20 and 12-18 month is $50...I had $50 target by end of 2014, due to audit/20F #$%$, it is delayed...NQ story has not changed: Apple, China Mobil, Verizon and more...truly a mobile play!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
No matter how many times Carson farts, NQ won't get into his trap anymore...1 year of doing nothing is enough! NQ is a great global brand, it will double from here...$50 is my target!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
NQ rules from here!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I trust NQ and I am LONG & STRONG!
this is insane, 20% off from recent peak, 20F and audit is over...no matter what Muddy says, NQ won't respond...if he is true, why wouldn't SEC start inquiry since his original allegations last year? NQ voluntarily completed internal audit, now we know NQ is clean and Carson is pure Mud...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I am buying NQ...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I am long & strong...no selling here..only buying!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
NQ rejected offer because it is way too low for NQ valuation...we will see NQ management much more aggressive defending deals/balance sheet etc.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
he has in NQ...I bet he has already covered his position
they should file a lawsuit in the U.S to teach dirty/filthy short-sellers resort of any allegations against fine companies without any merit or prove nothing...market/courts/companies need to make people like Carson Block to take responsibility...NQ suffered allot in the past 12 months, management dealing this #$%$ instead of building truly a global brand...Mark my word...NQ to hit $50 in 12-18 months...I had NQ @ $50 by end of 2014...because of so many events, target price for 2014 is less than $20...NQ will take its leadership position.
Long & strong!!!
Bloomberg should be ashamed for encouraging and providing platfarm for MuddyWater/Carson again and again to bash NQ, baseless allegations caused NQ longs to lose their pants....now SHORTs to lose their pants & shirts
what do you say LONGs?
$50 is my target for 12-18 months...no one can stop NQ
Sentiment: Strong Buy
something is fishy here...NQ is about to take off a big way!
NQ back above $10 ...close above $20 by year-end
Yes it will...I put my SELL orders at LIMIT price of $15...shorts are screwed!
Let's squeeze SHORTs by their balls....time for NQ to close above $10

A Sample part of Emilia Fox Story:"Plus they had to interview me so it took longer then I thought." "'Tis the life of the rich and famous." I teased. She sat in my lap and put her arms around me. "So, how's my little brother?" I grinned at her. "Hot and bothered." She smiled and licked her lips. "Ohh, you dirty boy. Does big sister have to punish you?" I reached out a hand and placed it on her firm flat stomach. "That depends." I said as I slid my hand up to cup her breast through her dress. I began you knead the soft flesh through her dress and she moaned and pressed into me. She grabbed my hands and pushed them to my sides. "I know what to do with you." She slid off my lap and onto her knees in front of me. God she looked so sexy as she smiled up at me. Her soft hands tugged on my jeans until she split them open and pulled my semi-erect cock out into the air. She jerked me off slowly until I was fully hard then she leaned down and kissed the very tip of it. This caused me to jerk in pleasure and she then wrapped her lips around my throbbing member. I felt her swirl her tongue around my rod as she bobbed her head up and down on my cock. She pulled her mouth off my prick leaving a string of spit from her lip to the tip of my pleasure stick. She moved down to my balls and took each one in her mouth individually, and sucked on them softly.

ORLANDO, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 11/09/12 -- Government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to play a crucial role in the secondary mortgage market and remain focused on supporting the ongoing housing market recovery while laying the groundwork for a better future housing finance system.
Realtors® and attendees at the Regulatory Issues Forum - Housing Finance Today and Tomorrow session today during the 2012 Realtors® Conference and Expo gained insights into today's secondary mortgage market and the future of housing finance in the U.S.
"Fannie Mae has been a leading source of liquidity since the start of the economic crisis and we are working hard to support the ongoing housing market recovery," said Timothy J. Mayopoulos, president and chief executive officer of Fannie Mae. He said Fannie's priorities are to fund the mortgage market, help troubled borrowers, and build a strong book of business to return taxpayers' investment in the company.
Mayopoulos said Fannie is now managed in the overall interest of taxpayers and no longer for the benefit of private shareholders. He said its financial condition has improved significantly; they currently have a strong book of business and have already paid $28 billion in dividends to the Treasury Department.
Mayopoulos said Fannie remains dedicated to ensuring qualified homebuyers have access to affordable mortgage capital and helping troubled borrowers stay in their homes through loan modifications and refinancings and avoid foreclosure; this supports neighborhoods, the housing market and home prices. He said the organization seeks to have servicers intervene earlier and to offer borrowers alternatives to foreclosure that require less documentation and easier implementation. Efforts have also been made to streamline short sale transactions and speed response and approval timelines.
While Fannie and Freddie played a key role during the housing downturn and continue to provide critical market liquidity, Mayopoulos said the extent of the GSEs' participation in housing finance must decrease if the market is to function properly.
"We've taken steps to attract more private capital to the market, but private capital is opportunistic and leans in when things are good and out when things are bad," said Mayopoulos. "There remains little evidence of substantial private capital ready to meet market need, and we continue to be concerned about market capacity."
He said lenders are reluctant to extend credit because of repurchase risks, regulatory concerns and lack of underwriting capacity. The industry must address these issues and Fannie will continue to try to do their part.
Wanda DeLeo, deputy director at the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which has held Fannie and Freddie in conservatorship since 2008, agreed that the GSEs must reduce their footprint in the mortgage market. She said that since being placed into conservatorship, the GSEs have twice raised guarantee fees, which they believe is helping reduce taxpayers' risk from the financial support they provide the GSEs and will move their pricing closer to what it would be if mortgage credit risk was borne solely by private capital. DeLeo said this could also incentivize private capital to increase participation in the mortgage market.
"In the four years since FHFA established conservatorship of Fannie and Freddie, we have made significant strides toward maintaining a housing market recovery, keeping individuals in their homes, and correcting the issues that led to the enterprises being placed into conservatorship," said DeLeo.
FHFA recently released a whitepaper outlining a series of strategies and initiatives that it hopes will improve mortgage processes, encourage greater private market participation, and lay the foundation for a post-conservatorship housing finance market.
DeLeo said the whitepaper sets forth three strategic goals for transitioning to a secondary mortgage market of the future. The first is to build a new infrastructure and common securitization platform for the secondary mortgage market that could be used by multiple issuers and supports the participation of private capital. The plan also gradually shrinks the GSEs' operations and presence in the marketplace, and lastly maintains foreclosure prevention activities and credit availability for both new and refinanced mortgages.
FHFA is seeking input on the proposal from the industry and public until December 3.

From TMZ: Garth Brooks has friends in low places because he's one of the lowest human beings on the planet ... according to a lawsuit filed by his former business partner.
Ex-partner sues Garth Brooks; calls him 'paranoid, angry, deceitful and vindictive'
Lisa Sanderson -- who worked with Garth for 20 years -- claims in her uber-colorful lawsuit that -- although Brooks passes himself off as "a humble and highly principled 'everyman'" -- he's actually a "paranoid, angry, deceitful and vindictive man who will turn against those closest to him on a dime."
Sanderson alleges she was a successful TV producer whom Brooks lured to jump start his TV and movie career. But she claims Brooks was his own worst enemy, killing deals with Disney, Fox and others by making ridiculous demands.

"Frutarian" diet that can help to control Diabetes, Hyper tension and many other disorders.
Caution: Try at own risk.
What is Fruitarian diet.
'Frutarian' diet help escape the harmful effects of current form of medication with an alternate, cheap but more effective and mostly harmless method to control Diabetes and Hyper tension. I am a type 2 diabetic and also have high BP. I have undergone a Fruitarian diet that helped me bring down blood sugar level considerably within 10 days. I stopped taking medications I have been taking for over 15 years now for Diabetes and high blood pressure. After 40 days of Frutarian diet currently I take normal non-fatty low starch food at lunch with lot of salads made of usual uncooked fresh vegetables and leaves one time.
What is Fruitarian diet.
Fruitarian diet recipe I followed comprise basically un-cooked food comprising mostly fresh Fruits, Vegetables, Leaves and some uncooked Pulses.
Frutarien diet Menu:- Half cup each of sliced ripe Banana/Plantains, Papaya, Apple, Orange/Tangerine, Water melon, Nectarine, Kiwi, Pears, Pomegranate, Cucumber, Carrot/Beetroot, 2 table spoons each of soaked Pea nuts or Sprouted Green Gram, 2 to 3 full leaves of Lettuce, few Spring Onions, few slices of raw Coconut, 15 Arabian Dates. Use scrapped Coconut, Carrot, Beet root etc., for those have difficulty to chew. May include any available fruits that are not allergic to you.
Take enough quantity of these in various combination, sprinkle little Lemon juice smeared with a tea spoon of Virgin Olive oil and a table spoon of Honey. Strictly do not use salt, red chillies and any ketchup or sauce or anything that contain artificial flavours and preservatives. No smoking and no Milk, Coffee, Tea or Alcohol during the treatment.
Mix these well and eat as much as you can at B/F, Lunch and Dinner. Always chew well so that the food get mixed with enough saliva. Drink only filtered pure cold water (un-boiled) and one tender Coconut Water every day.
Bathe in Cold water, drink at least 4 glasses of cold water and do simple Yogasanas for half an hour before Breakfast and also before Dinner.
Check fasting blood sugar and BP every day. As you find reduction in blood sugar and Blood Pressure reduce your normal medications in a phased manner and stop medication completely when Blood Sugar and BP become within allowed high margin level.
There will be considerable weight loss in few weeks and it will then stabilize and some side effects like itching of eyes, skin. Deprivations of Smoking, Alcohol, Tea, Coffee etc., may cause head ache or other discomforts for some. If there are serious problems discontinue the diet. Otherwise continue for 40 days and then can take normal non-fatty low starch food at one time daily with two time 'Frutarian' diet afterwards.
If you find it useful tell your friends.

My Goodness this is getting sickening. 7 degrees as I left my house this morning at 4:45 a.m. It's not January or February...it's NOVEMBER. Can you imagine the people waiting for Black Friday shopping if it's this cold. I want the darn global warming that we have been promised by Al Gore...and I WANT IT NOW. No more pussyfooting around...BRING IT ON. Let's melt some icecaps already.
I can't imagine how cold it was at the Gopher...Maverick...or Scarlet Football games this weekend. Luckily I was at a wedding INDOORS.

Incumbents Win. That's what we learned. No matter how much people are upset with how things are going...the incumbent wins around 90% of the time in National Elections. Statewide if you are a Democrat you will be re-elected. Open seats can be up for grabs...but otherwise knocking off a Democrat Incumbent in this State doesn't happen. Locally it's true as well...unless you get involved in something embarrassing...you get re-elected. I am not offering an opinion on whether this is a good thing or not...it's just a fact as I see it.
To the winners: Good Luck...have the peoples best interest in all that you do. To the Vanquished: Look back at what you did...if you can be proud of your effort: Congratulations and maybe we will see you down the road. If you made an A$$ of yourself along the way...well..."Thanks for stopping by...we have some nice parting gifts for you." As we say on Double Up..."You aren't a LOSER...you are a Non Winner"

124 Trick Or Treaters on Friday...NOT TOO SHABBY. Down from last year...but it was warmer last year. Actually a really fun night. Princesses came to our door more than anything else.
Saturday I worked all morning at Fitzgerald...showered and got to Blakeslee Field in time for Kickoff between 2 unbeaten teams...and when the game was over YOUR MAVERICKS WERE STILL UNBEATEN. The game was 100 % controlled by the wind...and I kept telling everyone around me that the Mavericks would win in the 4th quarter with the wind at their back. 17 fourth quarter points later...I was correct.
Sunday Nice come from behind win for the Vikings...but we learned once again that Teddy Bridgewater cant throw a long pass to save his life...underneath he is fine...30yds down the field...if no-one is within 30 yds of you...NO CHANCE. This defense is starting to look pretty good and there is reason to believe it will get even better over the next few years.
Maverick Hockey got a split at Bowling Green...winning friday and losing saturday..they are home to Bemidji st this weekend.

The Minnesota Wild DOMINATED the New York Rangers last night thru 2 periods...and then stopped playing at all...blowing a 3-0 lead...and losing 5-4 in regulation.Darcy Keumper was miserable in the third and took the blame for the loss...but the entire team stopped skating. Ugly loss...but the Bruins are waiting...so no time to sit and think about it..which might be a good thing.
See You on The Radio! Dan
Long title I know...but OMG that Gopher Game on Saturday broke my heart. Thank Goodness the Wild...Mavericks and Gophers hockey teams all won. The Maverick and Mankato West Football teams won big games and the Vikings got a great play from Anthony Barr to get an OVERTIME win in Florida. Tough luck for the Mankato East boys having to play the Hutchinson Juggenaut. Got a bunch of work done over the weekend as well. But I'm still bumming big time.

EL PASO, Texas - For Denver cook Eloy Sanchez, Mexico's escalating drug war means his dash home to Mexico for Christmas has never been more dangerous -- so he is trying to minimize the risks.
"We are sticking together to take care of each other," said Sanchez, 42, as he prepared to roll south from Texas in a small convoy of vehicles through Ciudad Juarez, where 3,000 people have been killed in raging drug violence since January.
"There's .... hit men and people who rob you and assault you on the road," he added.
Around a million U.S.-based Mexicans head south each Christmas along the length of the border from California to South Texas.
This year travelers such as Sanchez, who is headed for the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco, are taking extra precautions for their safety as they run a gauntlet of spiraling drug violence and lawlessness to get home.
Since President Felipe Calderon took office four years ago and pledged to crush powerful drug gangs, more than 30,000 people have been murdered in the deepening mayhem, most of them in northern and central Mexico.
Mexican authorities are also concerned about additional risks on the roads this year and are urging travelers to take steps to stay safe.
"We are more concerned ... than in previous years as there has been an increase in drug violence and banditry," said Alejandro Orbezo, a Mexican consular official in charge of the "Paisano" program for returning migrants in the western United States.
"We are urging people not to drive after dark, not to bring a lot of cash with them, and to drive in caravans for their safety and to prevent accidents," he added.
The cartel heartlands of Tamaulipas state, south of Texas, and Sinaloa state in western Mexico are of particular concern for authorities, following reports of drivers being stopped and robbed at gunpoint on the highways, Orbezo said.
In a bid to stay safe on the sprint across an increasingly violent strip of northern Mexico, some travelers are opting to drive home through out-of-the way border towns that they hope will be safer.
Among them was Samuel Rojas, 46, driving a pickup truck packed with boxes, cooking pots and children's bicycles through Douglas, a remote ranching town in southeastern Arizona, on his way home to Durango in northwest Mexico.
"I think it's safer on this route, nothing has happened here," said Rojas as he filled his truck with gas at a filling station just short of the border.
Mexican authorities are providing an emergency phone number -- 066, which is equivalent to 911 in the United States -- for travelers in difficulties.
They can also dial 078 for assistance if they have a mechanical breakdown on the highway.
But wary of notoriously corrupt police, some making the dash home in the final days before Christmas said they were unlikely to use it.
"I'm more scared of the federal police than the criminals," said Maria Castillo, 21, a housewife from Long Beach, California, crossing south into Tijuana, Mexico, on her way to visit family in Sinaloa. (Additional reporting by Lizbeth Diaz in Tijuana; editing by Greg McCune and Eric Beech)

Gordon Brown 'to stand down as an MP in the spring'
Former prime minister Gordon Brown is to announce that he is standing down as an MP, according to reports.
And now your starter for ten: Just how many Romanians are living over Paxman's garage?

Published: 10 February 2008
Today, however, Newsnight's inquisitorin-chief faces some awkward questions himself about his own employment practices.
It emerged yesterday that the millionaire presenter took on two live-in Romanian servants and gave them rooms above the garage at his luxurious Oxfordshire farmhouse.
Scroll down for more...
And he found them not through an employment agency, but by placing a free advert on a Romanian website.
Former housekeeper Daniela Savin and her fiance Robert Laslau claimed Paxman and his TV producer partner Elizabeth Clough paid them only £5 an hour - 25p less than the minimum wage - for their 40-hour week.
Legally, Paxman has done nothing wrong.
The £5.25-an-hour minimum wage is applicable only for staff who are not live-in employees.
But Miss Savin, 24, said: "Jeremy paid us the bare minimum that he needed to. We didn't have a contract, or any holiday agreed. There was nothing like that, it was just a spoken arrangement."
The young couple were given rooms above the garage at the farmhouse in the village of Stonor, near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, where other staff included a gardener, a cleaner and a cook for weekend functions.
Scroll down for more...
In the BBC family history show Who Do You Think You Are?, viewers saw Paxman weep when he discovered his great-greatgreat-grandmother was a charlady who died in abject poverty.
But the aggrieved Romanian pair say they saw a different side to him.
So strongly did they feel that they decided to take their complaints to a Sunday newspaper, which splashed them over two pages yesterday.
To compound the embarrassment for Paxman, they even supplied a photograph they had taken of his underwear, presumably when it was sent for laundry, along with commentary about its alleged aged condition.
Paxman, 57, infamously complained recently about the quality of Marks & Spencer's underpants.
The presenter is paid £940,000 for Newsnight and University Challenge and tops this up with earnings from his best- selling books The English and The Political Animal.
He and his partner, who have three children - twins Jack and Victoria, ten, and Jessica, 16 - also have a series of directorships of television production firms.
Miss Savin and Mr Laslau were hired after answering an advertisement Paxman and Miss Clough had placed on Romanian website www.bestjobs.ro.
The website does not levy charges, unlike many recruitment agencies.
The advert said the family were looking for a "housekeeper/mother's help and driver", with duties to include: "Running the house, occasional school run, cooking, put the children to bed, shopping and cleaning."
The advert went on to say: "The mother and father both work in television."
Paxman collected the Romanians from the station when they arrived, but it seems that despite his efforts to get to know them, they failed to hit it off.
Miss Savin complained: "We didn't know then that he was a scary TV interviewer, but he grilled us.
"There was something in the way he was asking the questions. Sometimes he didn't even wait for us to give an answer.
"He asked us if we'd finished university. We hadn't and he was asking us if we felt bad."
Paxman was unavailable for comment yesterday.

Thousands protest for reforms in Bahrain
Rally held ahead of National Day celebrations
Dubai: Thousands of supporters of Bahrain's largely Shiite opposition demonstrated peacefully on Friday near Manama, calling for democratic reform in the country, witnesses said.
Demonstrators, carrying the national flag, marched along a road linking several Shiite villages west of the capital, chanting slogans against the government and urging reforms.
The demonstration, held ahead of Bahrain's National Day celebrations today, was called by opposition groups after a ban on organising protests was lifted earlier this week.
The opposition said afterwards that it "will not stop without a true democratic process that will end an era of injustice and tyranny."
Last week, Bahrain's crown prince made a renewed appeal for dialogue to end the political impasse, which was welcomed by the opposition, but there seems to be no end in sight to increasingly violent protests.

Reports: Admin Reviving Plan to Sideline Public Option
President Obama has announced plans to deliver an address on healthcare reform before a joint session of Congress next Wednesday. The news comes amidst reports the White House has privately revived a plan that would "trigger" a public option only if private insurers failed to provide suitable care and adequate competition. The proposal has reportedly been discussed as a so-called "compromise" in talks with Republican Senator Olympia Snowe. Progressive Democrats have vowed to oppose any healthcare reform bill that doesn't establish a public option. Congress member Raul Grijalva, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said, "Without a robust public option, reform will enrich pharmaceutical and insurance companies because it will lack any significant competition and incentives to drive down health care costs for consumers."
Study: California Insurers Deny Over One in Five Claims
In other healthcare news, a new study shows the top private health insurers in California rejected more than one in five medical claims over the last seven years. The California Nurses Association and National Nurses Organizing Committee says California's six largest insurers rejected over 31.2 million, or 21 percent, of claims from 2002 through this past June. The groups' co-president Deborah Burger said, "The United States remains the only country in the industrialized world where human lives are sacrificed for private profit, a national disgrace that seems on the verge of perpetuation."
Guards Allege "Deviant" Sexual Misconduct at Kabul Embassy
More details have emerged on the lurid allegations surrounding the private military firm hired to guard the US embassy in Afghanistan. The firm, ArmorGroup America, has come under scrutiny after twelve guards came forward describing unauthorized armed missions in Kabul, security lapses and lewd behavior. On Wednesday, one of the guards said employees were forced to perform "deviant sexual acts" in order to gain promotions. The guard said company managers were not only aware of the acts but encouraged them. Danielle Brian of the Project on Government Oversight said employees were punished for not taking part.
Danielle Brian: "This involves supervisors. It's not just a bunch of guys who are blowing off steam. It's supervisors who are really sort of predatory, who are engaging young recruits into this really weird, deviant behavior. And if they refuse or complain about later, they're retaliating against them. So it's way more than just a party."
The State Department says it's investigating ArmorGroup's $189 million annual contract.
Relatives Mark One Year Since US Jailing of Iraqi Journalist
In Iraq, family members of the imprisoned journalist Ibrahim Jassam marked the one-year anniversary of his jailing Wednesday. On September 2, 2008, US and Iraqi forces raided Jassam's home outside Baghdad. The US has held Jassam without charge despite an Iraqi court order for his release. Jassam's brother, Qaiss, said Ibrahim was deliberately targeted for being a journalist.
Qaiss Jassam: "Even if he spent a year in prison, he will eventually be released. I tell you, Ibrahim has been arrested because of his job as a journalist. He has no enemies, and no one had filed a complaint against him. He has been arrested because he is a journalist."
Zelaya Renews Aid Call Ahead of Clinton Meeting
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to hold talks with ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya in Washington today. On the eve of the meeting, Zelaya renewed his call for the US to block more aid to Honduras and freeze the assets of those involved in his overthrow. Clinton has yet to issue a decision on a State Department advisory that Zelaya's ouster be officially declared a "military coup." The move would force the Obama administration to cut off as much as $150 million in funding to Honduras.
Colombian Lawmakers Back Measure to Undo Term Limits
In Colombia, lawmakers have approved a bill to hold a national referendum on removing presidential term limits. The measure was introduced to pave the way for Colombian President Alvaro Uribe's expect bid run for a third term. Opposition lawmaker Orsinia Polanco criticized the vote.
Orsinia Polanco: "With this approval and the approval of the Colombian people, it would indefinitely perpetuate the power of a single person, and it would become a dictatorship in this country."
Brazil Claims Lowest Amazon Deforestation in 21 Years
The Brazilian government is claiming deforestation in the Amazon forest is at its lowest level in more than two decades. Brazilian Environment Minister Carlos Minc said the decline was as much as 65 percent.
Brazilian Environment Minister Carlos Minc: "This year there was a 46 percent reduction in deforestation in relation to the previous year. According to the Amazon Research Institute, there was a 65 percent fall. This is still unsatisfactory. Deforestation rates are still very high, but this year we will have the smallest deforestation rate of the past twenty-one years."
Video Alleged to Show Sri Lankan Forces Executing Tamil Prisoners
In Sri Lanka, video footage has emerged reportedly showing Sri Lankan soldiers summarily executing Tamil rebels. The footage was supplied by a Sri Lankan advocacy group but hasn't been independently verified. It reportedly shows Sri Lankan soldiers killing unarmed, naked and blindfolded Tamils during clashes earlier this year. Sri Lanka has dismissed the videos as a forgery. The US ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, said the videos could be taken up at the Security Council.
UN Ambassador Susan Rice: "These reports are very disturbing. They are of grave concern. We'd like more information as we formulate our own national response. And to date, going back now to council president, I'm not aware of a council member proposing that this be discussed on the council agenda, but obviously these reports are very fresh, and that could change."
UN Urges Funding for Renewable Energy in Developing Nations
The United Nations is calling for a massive influx of aid to fund the development of renewable energy sources in poorer countries. The UN's Department of Economic and Social Affairs says developing nations will need between $500 billion and $600 billion annually to drop their reliance on the dirty fuels that cause global warming. The agency's director, Rob Vos, said the proposal should figure in global talks ahead of the major climate summit in Copenhagen later this year.
Rob Vos: "What we are arguing in the report is that it is possible to promote development while saving the planet, but it will need enormous adjustments in the global economy and in turn will require a change in the mindset of the policymakers and their constituencies worldwide. And hopefully that change of mindset will be the thing that will drive us to seal a good deal in Copenhagen."
Study: Federal Gov. to Hire 600,000 by 2013
Back in the United States, a new survey has found the federal government is poised for a large hiring spree over the next four years. The Partnership for Public Service says federal agencies need to hire more than 270,000 so-called "mission critical" workers by 2012 to deal with a wave of expected retirements from baby-boom workers. Overall, the survey says the government will need to hire 600,000 new workers by the end of President Obama's term.
Report: Madoff Claimed to Be "On Short List" to Chair SEC
The internal watchdog of the Securities and Exchange Commission has issued a detailed look at how regulators repeatedly squandered opportunities to uncover the massive $65 billion Ponzi scheme of the jailed financier Bernie Madoff. On Wednesday, the SEC's Inspector General issued a report describing five separate investigations into Madoff dating back to 1992. All of them went nowhere despite glaring warning signs, including one instance where Madoff was caught making false statements. Investigators chose to believe Madoff's assurances instead of following up. The report also reveals Madoff once claimed to have even been in line to head the SEC. In 2005, Madoff boasted to investigators he "was on the short list" to become the next SEC chair. He also successfully predicted that the now disgraced former SEC chair Christopher Cox would get the nod weeks before it was publicly announced. Madoff pleaded guilty for the Ponzi scheme in March and began serving a 150-year sentence in July.
Pfizer to Pay Record $2.3B Fine
The pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has agreed to a $2.3 billion fine as part of a settlement on allegations it improperly marketed thirteen of its brand-name drugs. It was Pfizer's fourth such settlement since 2002 and the largest-ever criminal fine of any kind. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Dan Levinson said Pfizer will be forced to disclose drug risks as well as its payments to doctors to promote the drugs.
Dan Levinson: "Pfizer will be under an obligation to proactively identify potential risks associated with the promotion of individual products and actually implement plans to mitigate risks, so we have both internal and external compliance requirements, as well as a very robust plan, going forward, to avoid this kind of conduct from happening again."
Despite the record-setting amount, the $2.3 billion charge amounts to less than three weeks of Pfizer's sales.
California Wildfires Now 28% Contained
And in California, the outbreak of massive wildfires has now burned through more than 140,000 acres of land. More than 10,000 homes have been evacuated since the fire broke out last week. Firefighters say the fire is now 28 percent contained.

There are a couple other villains in the piece that force employers to respond to increases in wages that exceed a worker's productivity. If he did hire such workers, he would earn lower profits. Soon, investors would abandon him and put their money where returns are higher.
There's another villain -- the customer. If the employer retained workers whose wages exceeded their productivity, to cover his costs he would have to charge you and me higher product or service prices. I don't know about you, but I prefer lower prices to higher prices, and I'd switch my patronage to those firms who adjusted to the higher labor cost.
Congress can easily mandate higher wages, but they cannot mandate higher worker productivity or that employers hire a particular worker in the first place. Those of us who truly care about the welfare of low-skilled workers should focus our energies on helping them to become more productive, and a good start would be to do something about the rotten education that many receive.

The day that leaves beautiful
The day that does not last a day
The day that spreads joy and
The time of christmas
That brings about fun and
A church service like no other
The singing of hymns
The beautiful enchantment of the christmas carols...
and the lovely exchange of gifts
The beautiful christmas tree
brightly decorated
The beads and the beautiful lights
The joy of singing with family....
And the opening of christmas parcels
The jingle bells, the peace, the
the celebration, the merriment...
the atmosphere filled with joy and
The love, the eagerness, the
The beautiful decorations
The christmas eve, the anticipation
The christmas Day
The christmas night filled with
fireworks and lovely colours
The night sky looking more
beautiful than ever...
