Esther Shaw: From a fanfare to fiscal failure in three years
The child tax credits debacle shows that the Government hasn't learnt from its mistakes
Sunday 30 April 2006
I may not have children yet (I'm still not entirely capable of looking after myself, let alone taking responsibility for anyone else), but I know that if I did, then I would be angry.
It is three years ago this month since the Government launched its child tax credit scheme - amid a fanfare of hype and publicity - with the promise of delivering much-needed cash to parents.
But today, the flagship scheme, a central part of Gordon Brown's programme to help low-income families, has failed to deliver.
Admittedly, there are now around six million families in receipt of the credits, but an awful lot of them continue to suffer as a result of the chaos that has mired the scheme since its launch.
Now a new report says that HM Revenue & Customs (responsible for administering the scheme) overpaid an estimated £2.2bn to claimants in the 2004-05 tax year.
Even taken in isolation, this is a pretty hefty figure. But when you find out that this is the second consecutive year that overpayments have reached this level, it becomes simply inexcusable - particularly given that ministers had pledged to alleviate the problem.
We all make mistakes - although generally less costly ones than this. And when we do, we learn from them so that we don't make the same ones twice. One of the key issues with the child tax credit scheme is that an element of overpayment is an inevitable consequence of the way the system is designed. This is because families claim tax credits on the basis of their income from the previous year.
But in the words of Edward Leigh, chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, "What came out of the blue for the Government was that overpayment would routinely occur on such a gigantic scale."
While this smacks of maladministration and bad planning on the part of those running the scheme, it is not the perpetrators who suffer. Instead, it is vulnerable families. The taxman's attempts to claw back the money have had a devastating impact on low-income households, whose finances have been thrown into chaos by sudden and often unexpected demands for repayment.
In the bulk of cases, overpayments were the result of recipients failing to report changes in their circumstances. But some arose from errors by the Revenue.
Campaigners such as Citizens Advice have long called on the Government to write off overpayments made in error - and some concessions have now been made. These are part of a wider overhaul of the system by Mr Brown, announced in the pre-Budget report.
For example, claimants have to tell the taxman only if their annual income increases by more than £25,000 (compared with the previous £2,500).
But as Mr Leigh points out, it is too early as yet to tell if this - and other measures - will be successful. And the Government still has to address the problem of a computer system that continues to be plagued by problems - not to mention the ongoing risk of fraud.
I was there at the launch of the tax credits scheme back in March 2003 - a rather jolly event at 11 Downing Street, attended by a multitude of journalists and a very smiley Dawn Primarolo, the Paymaster General, singing the praises of her new "baby". The "face" of tax credits was the TV presenter and "celebrity young mum" Gaby Roslin, and the scheme was then branded "Money2Mummy" because the credits were to be paid directly to the main carer (usually the mother).
The scheme was backed by a £9m advertising campaign, and the claim to be "the biggest financial boost for mothers since the introduction of child benefit". But three years on, the picture is very different.
The saddest thing about all this is that tax credits, which were designed to lift low-income families out of poverty, have in many cases had quite the opposite effect. Some parents are even opting not to claim the money they are entitled to for fear of what might happen, preferring to stay clear of the scheme altogether
Mr Brown is struggling to restore the credibility of the scheme, but as experts such as Jane Moore from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales warn, the short-term picture for tax credits still looks bleak.
Three years is a long time in anyone's book - and long enough, you would think, to make the changes required to achieve the balance between providing families with a stable income, and remaining responsive to changes in their circumstances.
All we can hope is that it doesn't take another three years to get it right.

heart soothing piece/awareness raising too//////family the basis of human org. leading to greater love for others (Report) Reply
Sav Wilde
A family is the best thing you can have in life,
their always there for you for better or for worse.
A family is always there to get you out of strife,
Even if it is something to do with the coppers!
My Family is different,
I have a broken up family.
People here,
People there,
Family everywhere!
Live with one parent,
Break the others heart.
Two sisters, two brothers,
All jealous of one another.
I would just like to have a normal life,
Not one that has heartbreak everyweek.
This poem is dedicated to anyone with a broken family.
Trust me I know how you feel.

Broken foot to sideline Iowa's Josh Oglesby four to six weeks
Nov 8, 2013, 1:22 PM EST
Iowa's going to be without one of their perimeter options when they open the regular season Friday, as junior guard Josh Oglesby is expected to be out anywhere from four to six weeks after breaking a bone in his right foot in practice on Wednesday. Oglesby averaged 4.5 points per game in 37 contests last season.
This is the second medical issue that has come up for the Hawkeyes within the last week, with sophomore guard Anthony Clemmons sitting out an exhibition game due to an ankle injury.
"Josh has played great in preseason practices and this is an unfortunate setback," head coach Fran McCaffery said in the release. "We expect Josh to make a full recovery and look forward to him returning in time for conference play."
But the good news for Fran McCaffery is that he's got both depth and experience when it comes to accounting for Oglesby's absence according to Rick Brown of the Des Moines Register.
Oglesby was slated to back up Mike Gesell at the second guard. Oglesby's absence could give freshman Peter Jok increased minutes at that position. McCaffery has several versatile players — most notably Jarrod Uthoff — who could also see time at that position. Starting point guard Devyn Marble also has experience at second guard.
After reaching the title game of the Postseason NIT last season, Iowa's a team many expect to at the very least be in the conversation for an NCAA tournament bid. With Devyn Marble (15.0 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 3.0 apg) and Aaron White (12.8, 6.2) back to lead the way, anything less than a return to the NCAA tournament would be viewed as a disappointment.
Iowa hosts UNC Wilmington on Friday, and they'll play games against Xavier (as part of the Battle 4 Atlantis) and Notre Dame (Big Ten/ACC Challenge) in the first four weeks of the season.

Masked gunmen kill US embassy employee in Yemen
Masked gunmen shot dead a Yemeni man on his way to work at the US embassy in Sana'a on Thursday
- Reuters
- Published: 13:31 October 11, 2012
Sana'a: Masked gunmen shot dead a Yemeni man on his way to work at the U.S. embassy in Sana'a on Thursday, a security source said, the latest in a wave of assassinations in the Arab state where Washington is battling Al Qaida militants.
The attackers on a motorcycle opened fire on a car carrying Qassem Aqlan — who headed an embassy security team - in the centre of Yemen's capital, the source told Reuters.
"This (assassination) operation has the fingerprints of al Qaeda which carried out similar operations before," said the source who asked not to be named.
The Yemen-based Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula and other militant groups strengthened their grip on parts of the country during an uprising that ousted veteran President Ali Abdullah Saleh in February.
There have been a number of assassinations attempts, some of them successful, on security officials and politicians since Yemen's army drove Islamist fighters out of several southern towns earlier this year.
Washington, wary of the growing power of Al Qaida, has stepped up drone strikes on suspected militant positions, with the backing of Saleh's successor, President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Men armed with machine guns and rockets attacked a security checkpoint in Yemen's southern city of Al Dalea late on Wednesday, injuring two policemen, a local official said on Thursday.
The attackers, whose affiliation was not immediately clear, fled the scene, the official said.

Movie Review: Fate Is Cruel and So Is Aftershock
Horror maven Eli Roth wrote, produced, and stars in this earthquake-horror thriller.
Horror maven Eli Roth wrote, produced, and stars in this earthquake-horror thriller.
There are so many good things in The Iceman that one wonders why the movie as a whole doesn't quite work.
His thoughts on The Exorcist, Sorcerer, Cruising, Killer Joe, and more.
The cast does its best, but there's little to celebrate here.
"I'd work with Nic [Cage] again in a heartbeat."
Malick and his collaborators have a very unique process.
It begins April 17. Get your tickets now!
Or at least your perceptions of the world in which you live.
Including Spellbound, Fahrenheit 9/11, Exit Through the Gift Shop, and more.
In this Jackie Robinson biopic, the great American gods of capitalism and baseball triumph over racism, provincialism, and ignorance.
A welcome return to form for Redford the director, if not Redford the star.
From reviews of films both classic and awful, to memorials to Gene Siskel, to an ode to his rice cooker.
The effects may have lost some of their novelty, but the film has gained some surprising profundity in twenty years.
It all started with an act of parental guidance gone awry.
Andrew Niccol's adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novel stars Saoirse Ronan.
We could easily just be watching outtakes from The Expendables or The A-Team or The Losers.
"I was going to spend a year and a half analyzing the carpet patterns and looking at every shot a hundred times."
He loves it so much that he started a site devoted to the film and helped fund the new documentary Room 237.
Like Fox's Ice Age films, this caveman story has similar fun juxtaposing prehistoric reality with modern gags.
"I went on opening day to see it."

Report from NYC's Lower East Side, with Democracy Now! producer Renée Feltz and Democracy Now! fellow Martyna Starosta.
We speak with residents of the low-income and largely minority community of Manhattan's Lower East Side who live in the shadow of a Consolidated Edison substation that flooded during Superstorm Sandy and has left thousands in the dark. With no sign of help from the city or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, residents talk to Democracy Now! producer Renée Feltz about the storm's impact on their lives. Many are struggling to carry water up darkened stairwells in buckets filled up at fire hydrants, while others are assisting bedridden elderly parents who live in the Jacob Riis public housing units. Everyone is asking when their power will be restored. [includes rush transcript]
This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynoworg, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman. We're on the road in St. Louis, Missouri, because in New York, our studio, like so many other places in New York, in New Jersey, is blacked out, is without electricity. We don't know when it will be turned back on. But we have a remarkable group of people who are working on the ground in New York to bring you this incredible coverage, as we continue our coverage of Superstorm Sandy by looking at how impacted an economically divided New York City, especially in Manhattan, where the richest fifth make 40 times more money than the poorest fifth. Inequality in Manhattan rivals parts of sub-Saharan Africa. On Wednesday, Democracy Now! producer Renée Feltz spoke with low-income residents in the Lower East Side of Manhattan about the storm's impact on their lives.
RENÉE FELTZ: This is Renée Feltz, part of the Democracy Now! team, out in the streets of the East Village with Martyna Starosta of the Democracy Now! team. We are here at the famed ConEd substation at 14th and C. This place showed up in video all over the internet after Superstorm Sandy hit, when the substation blew a fuse, dramatically lighting up the night sky here after Manhattan had fallen dark, and Brooklyn behind it, as well. Now we're going to go into the East Village and see how people are surviving in an area that is home to thousands of people who have no power, no access to food, as many of the stores are closed, and in some cases no actual flushing toilets. So let's venture into the neighborhood and see how people are surviving.
Please introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about—you live here?
RAYMOND PEREZ: My name is Raymond Perez, and I grew up in the neighborhood. I was born and raised out here in the Lower East Side. And basically, you know, we're really struggling out here. We're running out of food, behind this storm thing that came by. And it practically came over the river, and it came all the way over here, started messing up—right?
ARMANDO MORALES: Yeah, that's right. [inaudible]
RAYMOND PEREZ: It ruined a couple of—it ruined a lot of stuff, you know.
ARMANDO MORALES: It blew out the transformer.
RENÉE FELTZ: Excuse me, sir. Can you introduce yourself?
ARMANDO MORALES: Armando Morales. I'm a Lower East Sider.
RENÉE FELTZ: And what are you saying here?
ARMANDO MORALES: Well, what I'm saying, when the water came up, everything was going good until it blew out the transformer. Then all the total lights went out. Everybody was really going crazy. The flash—flashlights in the hallway, people—people going crazy, not knowing what to do, instead of taking—making a plan B, because they heard about it all week that Sandy was going to hit, you know? Now we just got to go crazy, go and get water to fulfill our house. We got no water. We got no electricity. Food is going to go bad, you know what I mean? We're working on trying to eat. No heat. It's cold.
And for the elderly, it's bad, because my mother lives on 108, and she's cold. She's 83. And she's dealing with a cold, and I'm trying to keep the place warm by lighting up the oven. But how long can you do that? You can't do that that long. And I have to go back and forth for her to get buckets of water to keep cleaning things and doing that, and it's getting me out of health, because I'm walking back up and forth. And then bathing—you can't bathe. There's no water. It's very bad for the people on the Lower East Side.
RENÉE FELTZ: So, we're here at an apartment in the Jacob Riis House on the fifth floor. Someone has invited us to—someone has invited us in. They're here to check on their mother. She came down from the Bronx, and the mother is bedridden. So we're going to find out what's happening.
MOTHER: [speaking Spanish]
DAUGHTER: [speaking Spanish]
MOTHER: [speaking Spanish]
DAUGHTER: [speaking Spanish]
MOTHER: [speaking Spanish] Setenta y siete.
DAUGHTER: Seventy-seven.
RENÉE FELTZ: [speaking Spanish] Usted vive aquí?
MOTHER: [speaking Spanish] Sí.
RENÉE FELTZ: [speaking Spanish] ¿Cuántos años?
DAUGHTER: About 32. About 32 years.
RENÉE FELTZ: And what is her situation living here right now?
DAUGHTER: Everything is fine. She's just bed-bound, and she has to have everything done. Like she can just sit up. She can't walk; as you can see, her wheelchair is there, her walker is here, her toilet's here. So, she has a—to me—she needs everything done for her, and help.
RENÉE FELTZ: And I would like you to ask her what is her concerns now, as she's living without power and without water.
DAUGHTER: [speaking Spanish]
MOTHER: [speaking Spanish]
DAUGHTER: She says she's worried. She gets sick all the time. And how is she going to get to the hospital? Because there's no elevators.
RENÉE FELTZ: Hi, sir. I see you're filling up a water bottle here at the fire hydrant. Can you introduce yourself?
SAM: Yes, I'm Sam from the Lower East Side.
RENÉE FELTZ: And you live in the neighborhood?
SAM: Yes. I actually live here with my fiancée, Marisol.
RENÉE FELTZ: OK. And we have a lot of radio listeners. Maybe you could describe what you're doing right now.
SAM: Right now we're just trying to get some water going in here, so we can also like wash up, cook and do other things that we need to do, because there's no water in the building. Elevators are off. You see the stores? There's no bread. There's nothing in there. Only thing in there is cigarettes. And you can't live with cigarettes. We need water. We need food. And—
RENÉE FELTZ: I notice a liquor store is open.
SAM: I didn't even notice that. Where? On Ninth Street?
RENÉE FELTZ: But back to the water and the issue at hand here, I see that you're filling up the water. Now, have you seen any FEMA trucks or anybody like that coming around to offer water?
SAM: No, I haven't seen anything, nothing at all, nobody offering anything. Yesterday somebody gave me a big gallon of water—I mean, you know, big empty gallon. And they just told me, "When you're done with it, just return it back," which is nice, that person did for us. But I haven't seen anyone do anything for us out here.
I would love the power to come back on. That's what I would love, too. I've been out of work already since Monday. Today's Wednesday. Actually, three days without work.
RENÉE FELTZ: We're here on Avenue C near the Jacob Riis Houses, where we've been talking to people this afternoon. Behind me is a small deli, which is open for business. No lights, no power, but people able to go in and out and get a few things. The streets are relatively lively, with people filling up water bottles at fire hydrants, talking to each other, checking in, people coming from other parts of the city to check on their parents. But other than that, we've seen very little representation of official help. Behind me I have a little NYPD surveillance mechanism that sometimes provides lights on these dark streets at night. The streets here, without power, will definitely be dark tonight. And people will be continuing to ask, "Where is the official help? Where is the city? Where is FEMA?" And in this low-income, mostly minority community, they're mostly asking, in the shadow of the ConEd 14th Street substation, "Where's the power?"
With Martyna Starosta, I'm Renée Feltz for Democracy Now!
AMY GOODMAN: And thank you so much to my colleagues in New York for these reports under, to say the least, very difficult conditions. This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. They're on the ground in New York.

Colonial Bank SVP pleads guilty to fraud
Send this to a friend
- Staff Orlando Business Journal
A former Colonial Bank senior vice president pleaded guilty March 2 for her role in a fraud scheme that contributed to the failures of Colonial Bank and Taylor, Bean & Whitaker.
Catherine Kissick, 50, who headed Colonial Bank's mortgage warehouse lending division, faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison when she is sentenced on June 17.
In a related item, the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filed an enforcement action today against Kissick in the Eastern District of Virginia.
According to court documents, Kissick admitted that from 2002 through August 2009, she and her co-conspirators engaged in a scheme to defraud various entities and individuals, including Colonial Bank; Colonial BancGroup Inc.; the Troubled Asset Relief Program; and the investing public.
Kissick admitted that she knowingly and intentionally placed Colonial Bank and Colonial BancGroup at significant risk by causing them to purchase and hold more than $400 million in assets on their books that had no value.
According to court documents, Kissick and her conspirators also caused Taylor, Bean & Whitaker to engage in sales to Colonial Bank of fictitious trades that had no collateral backing them and had no value.
In August 2009, the Alabama State Banking Department, Colonial Bank's regulator, seized the bank and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as receiver.
Colonial BancGroup also filed for bankruptcy in August 2009.
In June 2010, former Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Chairman Lee Farkas was arrested and charged in a 16-count indictment for his alleged role in the fraud scheme. His trial is scheduled to begin in April 2011.
An indictment is merely a charge and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Desiree Brown, the former treasurer of Taylor, Bean & Whitaker, pleaded guilty on Feb. 24 for her role in the fraud scheme.

Postseason dreams still alive for Geibel boys
TribLIVE Sports Videos
With its playoff hopes on the line, the Geibel boys soccer team certainly didn't play at a high level during the first 40 minutes of Monday's Section 4-A home game against Chartiers-Houston. However, a solid second half was enough to help the Gators overcome a lackluster start on their way to a critical 1-0 victory that kept their postseason dreams alive.
Bailey McIntyre's second-half goal provided the Gators (5-5-2, 4-5-1) with the necessary offense in a game with very few opportunities for either side.
"We played flat," Geibel coach Mike Grant said. "I'm not taking anything away from their team. They are a good team, but their record doesn't indicate it, and I'm sure our guys looked at that."
In the first half, neither team could muster many scoring opportunities, and the few chances that were generated were easily thwarted by Geibel goalkeeper Kyle Toth and Chartiers-Houston goalie Doug Dinardo.
In the second half, the Gators were able to step it up.
"We made some adjustments in the second half, and that allowed us to keep the pressure on," Grant said.
Geibel's pressure paid immediate dividends. Just over a minute into the second half, McIntyre raced down the right side and was able to beat a defender before sending a low liner past Dinardo for the game's only goal.
"We were able to break Bailey free for that goal," Grant said.
For McIntyre, the play was a blur.
"It just happened so fast," McIntyre said, giving credit to James Ewing for assisting on the play. "I just took a quick shot. Obviously, the goal was a team effort."
With the lead on their side, the Gators were able to shut down the Buccaneers (2-14, 2-9) the rest of the way. Chartiers-Houston has been shut out in each of its past three games."They were beating us in the air and we couldn't control the ball on the ground," Chartiers-Houston coach Dennis Farrer said, noting that he was missing two senior starters. "They outplayed us in the second half."
For Geibel, the win kicks off a busy week. The Gators have three more games this week, including another big section game at home Tuesday against Beth-Center. Geibel sits in fifth place in the section and will likely have to win both of their remaining section games to have a shot at the playoffs.
"Right now, we have to win out," Grant said. "That's the bottom line if we want to continue playing."

- "The judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth, and must, if it be honest, also come to an understanding of its inadequacy. The dynamic principle of fantasy is play, a characteristic also of the child, and as such it appears inconsistent with the principle of serious work. But without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable. It is therefore short-sighted to treat fantasy, on account of its risky or unacceptable nature, as a thing of little worth." The Psychology of Individuation, CG Jung

- If, during the long course of ages and under varying conditions of life, organic beings vary at all in the several parts of their organization, and I think this cannot be disputed; if there be, owing to the high geometric powers of increase of each species, at some age, season or year, a severe struggle for life, and this certainly cannot be disputed; then, considering the infinite complexity of the relations of all organic beings to each other and to their conditions of existence, causing an infinite variety in structure, constitution, and habits, to be advantageous to them, I think it would be a most extraordinary fact if no variation ever had occurred useful to each being's own welfare, in the same way as so many variations have occurred useful to man. But if variations useful to any organic being do occur, assuredly individuals thus characterized will have the best chance of being preserved in the struggle for life; and from the strong principle of inheritance they will tend to produce offspring similarly characterized. This principle of preservation, I have called, for the sake of brevity, Natural Selection. [Charles Darwin (1859) On the Origin of Species]

The history of failed currencies
- 1 December 2011
Mindful Money considers some previous failed currencies and why they crashed.
Papiermark (Germany)
"The Weimar Republic after World War I was the original poster child for failed currencies", says Investopedia. Germany was required to pay war reparations to the allied nations, as a condition of the Treaty of Versailles. However, by 1922, the country found itself unable to meet these.
When the repayments weren't honoured, France and Belgium occupied parts of the German industrialized areas. As a result, the German government was forced to print money to pay salaries and its war debt – the impact being hyperinflation. German industrialists then ordered workers strikes, which put further pressure on an already frail economy, says the Mint blog. Supply and demand followed: too much money was circulated, and the money was soon considered worthless.
The result: When the Rentenmark was introduced to replace the Papiermark, the exchange rate was 1 for 1 trillion.
Escudo (Chile)
Salvador Allende, Marxist and member of the socialist party, was elected president of Chile in 1970. He nationalised industries and social spending soared to redistribute wealth to the poor. In order to meet this cost, he adopted an expansive monetary policy that initially produced economic growth, but also led to a rise in inflation. By the end of 1972, inflation had reached a staggering 600%. The rate had doubled to 1,200% within one year and the government defaulted on debts owed to other countries and international banks. The Allende government was overthrown and he committed suicide.
The result: In 1985 the Escudo was replaced by the new peso at a 1,000 to 1 rate.
"Except for a slight depression in 1981, the Chilean economy recovered, largely due to the government's decision to sell off newly acquired State-owned enterprises. The rest of Pinochet's tenure in Chile, however, is entirely another story," says the Mint blog.
Peso (Argentina)
Investopedia tells us that Argentina's economy enjoyed record growth until the OPEC oil embargo in the mid-70s. Civil and political unrest, and budget and trade deficits followed, alongside the onset of a severe recession. As has been done in Britain, the government resorted to printing money. "A military coup in 1976 brought further economic decline and more inflation as the money supply continued to expand."
By 1982, GDP was in freefall and dropped 12% year over year. Inflation was rampant – In the end, one new peso was equal to 100 billion of the original pesos (pre-1983).
The Mint blog says: "When the currency was reformed in 1983, 1 Peso Argentino was exchanged for 10,000 of the "old" Peso. Then in 1985, the 'Austral' was introduced, which replaced the Peso Argentino at a rate of 1-to-1,0000 Then yet again, in 1992, the New Peso replaced the Austral this time at 1-to-10,000. This end result of this experience – in many circles referred to as, "The March of Zeros" – equated to a 1 New Peso equal to 100,000,000,000…"
The peso was replaced by a new currency called the austral in June 1985.
Dollar (Zimbabwe)
The Zimbabwe dollar. "Although the dollar was considered to be among the highest valued currency units when it was introduced in 1980 to replace the Rhodesian dollar at a ratio of 1:1, political turmoil and hyperinflation rapidly eroded the value of the Zimbabwe dollar to become one of the least valued currency units in the world, undergoing three redenominations, with paper denominations including a $100 trillion banknote."
As government spending escalated, wage and price controls were implemented that produced massive budget deficits – and inflation took hold as money was printed. Eventually, the dollar reached 624% in 2004 and 1730% in 2006. A year later, inflation spiralled to a mind-boggling 11,000% and money was denominated in increments of 100 million dollars. This was quickly replaced by a 500 million dollar bill that was equivalent to about 2.5 U.S. dollars.
The result: In 2008, the money was replaced by a new dollar that was equal to 10 billion of the old dollars.
Currencies worth investing in…
According to Citywire, the only two currencies worth holding during the current crisis are the US dollar and the Chinese reminbi. Columnist David Kempton says: 'There are only two currencies where I would hold much cash. The dollar, inevitably, even though the economy is awful, as it remains 'the sanctuary', and the Chinese renminbi, which has been undervalued for years, but at last looks close to a revaluation as part of our demise.'
However, interestingly, on May 17 2011, a World Bank report predicted that the age of the U.S. dollar would end by 2025, thanks to the rise of emerging economies. Instead, it said the global currency will be dominated by a combination of the dollar, the euro, and the Chinese reminbi.

DOJ Limits Microsoft's Purchase of Novell Patents 35
from the not-so-fast dept.
WTF is that damn auto-updating twitterish piece of shit beside the article? It's like they are actively trying to make their site as hard to read as possible. It's worse than most advertisements. Please don't ever link to this website again.
In the meanwhile here is a non-ADD version [itworld.com] of the article.
I suspect that they will get a license PRIOR to it being subject to the GPL2, and may work to allow them to use these unencumbered by the GPL.
There can be multiple licenses for a single patent. There's not need for it to be "prior" it is simply an additional license.
