I stayed at Aloft at the EpiCentre in September 2014 for a conference. The rooms were clean, spare, and on the funky side, but Iiked it. My flight got in at 8:30am, and I knew my room would not be ready. I met Kareem at the font desk and I stored my luggage and came back around 3pm. There was... More

We thought one of our iPhones were stolen but it was hidden is the safe. I was very unfriendly to the staff which tried to manage very professional and friendly with the situation. And they found it. I was very sorry for that. The Staff in the Restaurant was very friendly and the service was very nice. It's a very secure hotel in a very dangerous city. Location is very central and near to Connaught Place and Bengali Market. We felt very comfortable and the travel agency was very helpful after they mad a mistake with our daily guide. If you need a good, secure hotel with a friendly staff in Delhi, go for this one ;)
Everthing was nice, so nothing :)
Good location and friendly staff
Both Indian and International food restaurant was tasteless and unhealthy.
Needed a two room suite but did not get, food extremly extremly expensive, nit worth
Courtesy, comfortable rooms
Meals and breakfast could be improved
The room was good, very clean and cozy...
we didnt like the food at the Tandoor..The quantity also was very less and not worth the money...we were also not issued the discount coupon for our meals and was aware of it only after the meal bill was made. They didnt give at the time of check -in and told us since we didnt ask so they didnt give us.This was not right.. if we are entitled to it they should themselves give us and not us asking them.
The Bed, Staff at the restaurant were excellent. esp Johnson or mathew (i cannot remember his name)
No bathtub I was charged for checkin in early...no information given about additional payment until check in.
Slightly outdated. Needs a face lift
Location, Food, cleanliness
Room furniture
Location, price, Polite & courteous staff
Cheap materials used in room interiors. But its fair enough for the price they offer
Good location Very clean Good breakfast Good service
Sound isolation is not that good We heard the TV of the room beside!
Kindness of staff all over. The down stair craft shop still propose very good quality products although it seems in less variety than last year.
The food was not to last year level! After 12 or 15 times in India I always see the difficulty of keeping up high levelalmost anywhere... Bathroom tile e.g. is falling apart,... "Luxury" hotels abroad do keep up at their original level. We don't see that in India! Way too much taxes of all kinds!
Friendly staff good atmostphere my second stay this year
No cmnt
if next room people went to the loo we could clearly hear the noise from our room of the flushing. Also the air con was poor had to tell reception to turn it on in the middle of the night. Not 5* in my opinion i would rate it 3*.
Good breakfast - clean rooms - nice staff:-)
The staff of the hotel is very friendly and well responsive. Was surprised to see a birthday cake for my father,s birthday in the room.
They have improved a great deal on the food. The food was real tasty this time. Earlier the tastes were OK, but this time around there has been a marked improvement.
The check in process could have been a bit faster. I felt they are a little short staffed on the check in counters.
Staff are friendly and try to help.
Too expensive for the service offered.found a croackroach in the toilet.pipes in the toilet not good too noisy in the toilet.its not a 5star hotel maybe a 2 stars.too expensive and many hidden taxes charges.
The hotel is a *****-hotel at very reasonable rates (read however carefully the conditions on taxes etc which come in addition to the mentioned rates) the restaurants, swimmingpool are perfect. to get access to wifi is a little bit confusing since one has to agree with high prices, but at the end of the day it is - as promised - complimentary the hotel is well located in that it is close to Conaught place (15 minutes walking), but the streets are inhabited by many homeless people and are dark at night, so this may be a bit confronting
The location was good and the room was clean. The staff was helpful and responded promptly
The breakfast was very cheap, the hotel itself looks old and not maintained, by far NOT a 5 star hotel, more like 3
I didnt like the food, the hotel taxi is expensive, and the wifi should be free in a 5 star hotel
I liked Japanese restaurant, Sakura in the hotel. Good quality. Hotel's staff was friendly and helpful.

Beijing is expected to soon decide how Hong Kong is going to elect its next leader amid growing calls from activists for a truly democratic election process. China is likely to promise universal suffrage in 2017, but the candidates will have to be vetted by a nominating committee. Is that really democracy?

i was trying to get Tristana.. alistar works just fine..can anybody knows why Tristana's page it doesnt works? there is a lot of us that we can get her,,,
Junior Member
Tristana link doesn't work?
ch3f r3d
I just got the free Tristana!, it really does work just fill out and submit a request at support and attach the screenshot and they will fix it for ya
Senior Member
This issue has been addressed repeatedly in this forum (just search "free tristana").
It is not expired but the FB link is broken. Follow the steps, take a screenshot of the error message, and submit a ticket like ch3f said.
greetings, i cant seem to get tristana, the page keeps saying i do not posses priviliges for this, though i did get alistar, so can anyone help me with this? thank u...
for some reason i can't get Tristana. i clicked the link and it said something about logging in. i log in but then it say i can't access the page.
Thank you
About a week ago I submitted my ticket to support with a screenshot and a guy said he went ahead and added Tristana and her skin to my account.
I entered the wrong account name though(Entered my stupid summoner name twice -__- ) and it apparently didn't get added to my account. So I submitted a followup and now I'm being told the promotion has ended and you can no longer get Tristana and her skin through FB.
I should still be getting mine because I was already told I would(Unless support is just gonna be completely rude). But don't think anyone else will be getting one by doing the screenshot submitting thing.
I cant unlock Tristana, I dont know why. Allistar is ok! But I wanted Tristana too :S

Well, we finally finished it.
The National Fair Shares report is designed to show what it means to take the analysis in the Climate Equity Reference Calculator seriously. It's worth reading even if you think that we're doomed, because it very carefully works out what it would mean to hold to the IPCC's carbon budgets, in the context of an international climate accord that might actually work. Which is to say a climate accord that works for everyone, even the developing countries, one designed to preserve "equitable access to sustainable development" even as it drives a rapid global phase out of all carbon emitting technologies.
We don't actually think we're doomed, of course. If we did, we could never have written anything like this. We think humanity is going to rally. Or at least that it could.
What's in the National Fair Shares report? Here's a paragraph from the abstract:
"In this report, we systematically apply a generalized and transparent equity reference framework. . . with the goal of quantitatively examining the problem of national fair shares in a global effort to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This framework is based upon an effort-sharing approach, uses flexibly-defined national "responsibility and capacity indicators," and is explicitly designed to reflect the UNFCCC's core equity principles. It can be applied using a range of possible assumptions, and whatever values are chosen, they are applied to all countries, in a dynamic fashion that reflects the changing global economy."
What's the point? Only that the world's national are probably — and finally — going to negotiate a global climate treaty in Paris in late 2015. But even assuming that they do, it's going to be far too weak, and Paris will mark the beginning of the really hard work: raising ambition in the context of a truly global accord. Assuming this happy day arrives, we're going to need an "equity reference framework" to help us figure out which countries are going their "fair shares" and which ones are free riding on the work of others.
Which is where this paper comes in. Take a look here.
This review of Naomi Klein's This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate was first published in the Earth Island Journal, here. See this notice on Klein's own site.
The first thing to say about Naomi's Klein's latest book is that its title makes a grand promise — This Changes Everything – and that's before you even get to the subtitle, which sets up a face-off between capitalism on one side and the climate on the other. The second thing to say is that no single book could ever meet such a promise. Klein, with careful aplomb, does not attempt to do so. Rather, she offers a tour of the horizon upon which we will meet our fates. Or, rather, the horizon upon which we will attempt to change them.
In the face of such huge topics, Klein's strategy is a practical one. She defers the problem of capitalism-in-itself (as German philosophers used to call it) and focuses instead on our era's particular type of capitalism – the neoliberal capitalism of boundless privatization and deregulation, of markets-über-alles ideology and oligarchic billionaires. Her central argument is not (as some have insisted) that capitalism has to go before we can begin to save ourselves, but rather that we're going to have to get past neoliberalism if we want to face the greater challenges. Klein writes:
Some say there is no time for this transformation; the crisis is too pressing and the clock is ticking. I agree that it would be reckless to claim that the only solution to this crisis is to revolutionize our economy and revamp our worldview from the bottom up – and anything short of that is not worth doing. There are all kinds of measures that would lower emissions substantively that could and should be done right now. But we aren't taking those measures, are we?
At the outset Klein asks the obvious question: Why haven't we, in the face of existential danger, mobilized to lower emissions? There are lots of reasons, but one stands above all others. We have not mobilized because "market fundamentalism has, from the very first moments, systematically sabotaged our collective response to climate change, a threat that came knocking just as this ideology was reaching its zenith." In other words the climate crisis came with spectacularly "bad timing." The severity of the danger became clear at the very time when "there-is-no-alternative" capitalism was rising to ideological triumph, foreclosing the exact remedies (long-term planning, stricter government regulation, collective action) that could address the crisis. It's a crucial insight, and it alone justifies the price of admission.

This elegant system, put together by Friends of the Earth EWNI and Jubilee South Asia Pacific Movement on Debt and Development, is based on the "responsibility and capacity index" analysis embodied in the Climate Equity Reference Calculator. Its map interface is very cool, and simple to use, for it presents only a single Equity Settings profile. This is, for the record, a "high equity" profile defined by the Strong 2C pathway, high progressivity settings (including a $50,000 luxury threshold), a 1850 historical responsibility start date, a 50/50 responsibility/capacity weighting and "capacity adjusted" domestic emissions.
PS: John Vidal's wrote a article on the climatefairshares site (September 21, 2014) in the Guardian. See it here.
Bill McKibben has a nice comment he called Let them build seawalls.
Writing from his perch at the Cato Institute, Charles "Chip" Knappenberger explains why the U.S. should avoid taking a leadership role in any climate negotiation: because others have more at stake:
Such information is carefully concealed in Obama Administration reports, such as the one issued recently by the Council of Economic Advisors that predicts escalating costs the longer we delay serious climate change mitigation efforts. Instead of focusing on domestic costs of climate change, the report is built around an estimation of the global cost for carbon dioxide emissions—which, by the Administration's numbers—is some 4 to 14 times greater on a per ton of emitted CO2 basis than those projected for the U.S.
Translated: climate change is going to be worse for Bangladesh, so let them deal with it. . .
Read the whole thing, it's not long.
Ready for a stimulating new cut across some old territory? Think about "responsibility," and take a look at Carbon Majors Funding Loss and Damage, a discussion paper by Julie-Anne Richards and Keely Boom of the Climate Justice Project – "an independent not for profit, non-government organisation that uses the law to expose environmental and human rights issues relating to climate change."
Among other things, the analysis here includes the idea of corporate — rather than national — historical responsibility. In fact, it shows "that a small number – fewer than 100 – entities have a significant responsibility for the climate change currently being experienced." More generally, it's based on the idea that private entities that have profited from, and continue to profit from, the fossil-fuel economy should be responsible for a good fraction of the "loss and damage costs" associated with carbon pollution.
This is a ground breaking idea, and it deserves a lot more attention, in this our unfortunate age of corporate personhood. "Persons," after all, have responsibilities as well as rights.
The Greenhouse Development Rights framework is designed to support an emergency climate stabilization program while, at the same time, preserving the right of all people to reach a dignified level of sustainable human development free of the privations of poverty.
The Climate Equity Reference Calculator, and its sidekick the Climate Equity Pledge Scorecard, allow users to define their preferred approach to "common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities," and then to explore the implications.
It's about 15 months now until the Paris climate showdown.
The good news is that there's quite a lot happening. The clarifying science, for example, is no longer easily denigrated. The IPCC's 2°C carbon budgets, the new age of "extreme weather," the fate of the Arctic, these can no longer be cast as fervid speculations. Denialism – at least classic denialism – has peaked. This is a time of consequences, and we all know it.
But what about Paris? Why do I even mention the international climate negotiations? Don't we all know that the North/South divide is unbridgeable? Don't we all know that the wealthy world will never provide the finance and technology support that's needed to drive deep and rapid decarbonization in the emerging economies? Don't we all know that the prospect for a meaningful breakthrough in the climate talks is nil?
In fact, we do not.
In a wide ranging and insightful interview, Yen Saño — the Philippines lead negotiator who rose to fame when, saddened by the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan and frustrated by the slow pace of international action, he fasted through two weeks of climate change treaty talks in Warsaw — has just publicly endorsed the Greenhouse Development Rights approach.
The exact quote, in context, is:
Saño: We cannot force countries which are not Annex I countries to take on obligations of the same nature as Annex I countries. However, I think countries must set aside narrow national interests and be able to contribute in an ambitious way, not just towards a post-2020 regime but an immediate regime. My country cannot afford to wait six more years for the whole world to take action, and six years of no legally binding emissions cuts for me is a catastrophe.
This is a global endeavor, and if we are to subscribe to narrow national interests, we can go our separate ways and forget about solving climate change.
What the Philippines, I think, would like to advocate for is a Greenhouse Development Rights approach. I know that's not going to resonate well with many countries, both in the north and in the south, but it's really about rights. It's about the life of a single Filipino having the same value as one American or one European. We all deserve equitable access to the planet. That should be the primary parameter, rather than economic competitiveness.
Well here I am again at the climate talks, this time in Bonn: the latest stop on the long slog in the latest attempt to break the stalemate. It's not looking too good right now, for lots of reasons, not the least of which is that the wealthy countries are still not doing, or proposing to do, anything like their fair shares of the global effort that would be needed to stabilize the global climate system.
More on this later. For now here's a primer that I wrote for this morning's issue of ECO, the daily NGO newsletter.
Everybody always talks about equity, but no-one ever does anything about it. In hopes that someday the Parties might, ECO would like to offer this quick cheat-sheet.
It's not true that "equity is in the eye of the beholder." Sure, there's a lot to disagree about, but the UNFCCC really does give us someplace to stand. Three places, actually, for when all is said and done, the Convention affirms three high-level precepts: 1) Avoid dangerous climate change, 2) Divide the effort of doing so on the basis of "common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities," and 3) Protect "the right to sustainable development." If it's consistent with these three principles, it's probably fair, or at least a fair enough start.
It's CBDR+RC, not CBDR. Those last words in the second principle – "respective capabilities" – may be challenging, but they're not any more challenging than "historical responsibility," and in any case they're not going away anytime soon. And just because some Parties wish that the responsibility issue would just fade away, that doesn't mean that other Parties are being helpful by trying to push capabilities off the boat. Two wrongs, as they say, don't make a right. Not even a development right.
The climate crisis is a global commons problem – emphasis on the word "global." However you understand your climate obligations, they're global obligations nonetheless. The responsibility that each nation has to do its fair share is a responsibility to all other nations, or rather, to all the people (and creatures) of the world. If you have a lot of responsibility and capability, and if you thus have more tons to mitigate than it is possible to mitigate within your own borders, then doing your fair share means going beyond your domestic mitigation, and also providing the finance and technology needed to mitigate elsewhere. Which is to say that finance is part and parcel of your mitigation obligation.
Finally, we don't have to absolutely agree about what's fair and what's not. Approximate agreement is a whole lot better than stalemate and standoff. Think of the problem politically. We need to be able to identify climate leaders (who are actually doing their fair share) and climate laggards (who are doing, or proposing to do, much less). In this regard, a rough common understanding is quite enough. ECO believes that if we can win such an understanding, all else will follow.
Well, maybe not "all else." Because no common understanding will substitute for ambitious finance. We know Paris isn't just about finance, but if we don't get some, COP21 is going to be a grim affair indeed.

If Sir James Wolfensohn, the cofounder of Edward Said's West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, doesn't deserve to be honored at the American University of Beirut (AUB), then who does? Recently, the former World Bank chief found himself in the midst of controversy after AUB had announced that he would receive an honorary doctorate and deliver the June commencement address. Faculty members and students signed a petition in protest, arguing that honoring Wolfensohn "undermines AUB's legacy in the struggle for social justice and its historical connection to Beirut, to Palestine and beyond."
In a statement, an embarrassed AUB president Peter Dorman argued that Wolfensohn was "on record" for having "criticized Israeli military operations in the Palestinian territories," and had extensive pro-Palestinian credentials. For instance, Wolfensohn resigned his position as quartet chief after the international boycott of the Hamas government in Gaza, and in 2007 he was rewarded with the Palestinian Authority's prize for excellence and creativity. Apparently AUB agitators have tougher standards than the PA.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PCACBI) was part of the campaign, as was Al Akhbar, a Hezbollah-affiliated newspaper where the anti-Wolfensohn crowd was given free rein to vent against the university for daring to honor him. On the other hand, another Beirut newspaper, the Daily Star, which has no ties to Hezbollah, was much more circumspect in its criticism of the boycott. One AUB professor, who felt compelled to comment without attribution, dismissed the campaign "as an 'illusion of victory' for the Palestinian cause, given what he termed the 'moderate' position on Israel often espoused by Wolfensohn."
The problem of course is that Hezbollah, through its media outfits, is setting the ideological tone in Beirut these days—even on the campus of the American University in Beirut. Accordingly, AUB activists conveniently give Hezbollah allies a pass. For example, no one had any problem last year when the AUB awarded an honorary degree to comedian Doreid Lahham. Of late, Lanham has distinguished himself for his unwavering support for Syrian president Bashar Assad, even as the Damascus regime's security forces have been targeting the unarmed peaceful Syrian opposition. AUB professors and students keen to protect "AUB's legacy in the struggle for social justice" are in the headlines only when it comes to the Arab-Israeli conflict. When it comes to calling attention to the repression and violence of the Syrian regime, AUB's social justice advocates are nowhere to be found.
It appears that, for some, the long arm of Syria and Hezbollah extends even across the waters. Months before Dorman had to deal with the Wolfensohn issue, there was already some indication that the AUB president wasn't the man to face down a campaign of intimidation. At an AUB alumni event in Washington in March, Dorman delivered a speech about the Arab Spring and avoided naming Syria—even as the mostly Lebanese crowd shouted, "And Syria!"

Markets Set To Surge On Global Manufacturing PMI BloodbathSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/01/2014 06:18 -0500
If last week's disappointing global economic data, that saw Brazil added to the list of countries returning to outright recession as Europe Hamletically debates whether to be or not to be in a triple-dip, was enough to push the S&P solidly above 2000, even if on a few hundreds ES contracts (traded almost exclusively between central banks), then the overnight massacre of global manufacturing PMIs - when not one but both Chinese PMIs missed spurring calls for "more easing" and pushing the SHCOMP up 0.83% to 2,235.5 - should see the S&P cross Goldman's revised year end target of 2050 (up from 1900) sometime by Thursday (on another few hundreds ES contracts).

"Unrigged" Close Buying-Panic Saves S&P 2,000 For Long WeekendSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/29/2014 15:09 -0500
For the 6th week of the last 8, Treasury yields declined with 30Y pressing to 3.05% (and 10Y 2.32%) handles to 15-month lows. US equity markets saw volume crater as the early high-stops were run in the EU session and low-stops run in the US session before the ubiquitous EU close ramp lifted futures to VWAP and S&P cash to 2000.xx where it stayed for the rest of the day in a wholly unrigged way. Trannies ended the week red and Russell the best. The USD Index closed at 13-month highs (up 7 weeks in a row). Despite USD strength, gold and silver rose 0.5% on the week but oil was the big winner +2.4% (testing $96) as copper tumbled 2%. Credit markets closed at their wides (as stocks closed at their highs). Interestingly, once the Sept POMO schedule was released, TSYs sold off on the day to close red (but end 4-7bps lower on the week). VIX closed unch today but the ridiculous late-day panic-buying spree in futures grabbed stocks back above the crucial 2000 level for the S&P. Year-to-date, Treasuries lead +16.75% as the S&P (+8.5%) overtook gold (+6.7%) in the last few days.

"Markets In Turmoil" S&P 500 Loses 'Crucial' 2,000 Level As Bond Yields SlumpSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 15:06 -0500
Good news was bad news for stocks (and great news for bonds) today as GDP's best sent stocks reeling early on, only to ramp back magically into the European close. For the next 4 hours, the S&P 500 traded in a 1.5 point range. While stocks dumped and pumped, Treasury yields went only on direction, lower (30Y -3bps today and -8bps on the week). FX markets were less chaotic than yesterday with early EUR weakness leaking back as the US day rolled on (USD -0.15% on the week). Silver, gold, and oil rose on the day (though well off spike highs during the EU session as Russia 'invasion' headlines hit). Copper tumbled the most in over 4 months. While equity markets closed modestly lower (Trannies red on the week), VIX and Credit markets weakened somewhat further.

"The Buyback Party Is Over" - Albert Edwards Warns The "Market Is Now Running On Fumes"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/28/2014 11:51 -0500
"two landmark firsts have occurred only recently, with the S&P500 breaking above 2,000 and the 10y bund yield breaking below 1%. Our Ice Age thesis has long called for sub-1% bond yields and I see this extending to the US and UK in due course. It is the equity markets where I have been consistently surprised. QE has been an essential driver for the equity market, providing the fuel for the heavy corporate bond issuance being used for share buybacks. Companies themselves have been the only substantive buyers of equity, but the most recent data suggests that this party is over and as profits also stall out, the equity market is now running on fumes." - Albert Edwards

If you like your de-escalation, you can keep your de-escalation. To think that heading into, and following the Russia-Ukraine "summit" earlier this week there was so much hope that the tense Ukraine civil war "situation" would somehow fix itself. Oh how wrong that thinking was considering overnight, following rebel separatists gains in the southeast of Ukraine which included the strategic port of Novoazvosk and which is "threatening to open up a new front in the war" including setting up a land corridor to Russia controlled-Crimea, Ukraine's president Poroshenko for the first time came out and directly accused Russia of an "Invasion", or at least a first time in recent weeks, saying he has convened the security council on the recent Russian actions.

Confidence In Central Planning Saved With Last Second All Time High RampSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/27/2014 15:06 -0500
Once Europe closed, US equity markets rolled over on what is a new 'lowest-volume-day-of-the-year' led by recent winner Russell 2000. The Dow is now red on the week and the Nasdaq up 11 days in a row. Today was not about stocks though (aside from the close). While CAD saw its best gain in over 2 years, it was US Treasuries (as EUR weakened and Bund yields plunged) that made the flashing red headlines with 30Y back at 15-month lows (at 3.10%) and 10Y -3.5bps at 2.36% as the yield curve flattened even further. 2s30s dropped below 260bps - its flattest since Dec 2012. Un-de-escalation concerns evident in TSYs and credit finally started to bleed into VIX and stocks. Gold, silver, and oil limped higher as US weakened (and copper fell). A desperate buying panic into the close smashing S&P futures to VWAP magically enabled the S&P to close at the confidence-inspiring centrally-planned 'wealth effect' level of 2000.07!!

More Bad News Out Of Europe Coupled With Hopes For More QE Push Stocks, Bonds HigherSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/27/2014 06:10 -0500
If the big hope propelling both ES and S&P cash over 2,000 was the Ukraine-Russian talks, leading to some de-escalation and a thawing of Russian-German conditions, then it was clearly a dud. As the WSJ reports, "face-to-face talks between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents failed to produce a breakthrough for ending the conflict over eastern Ukraine, as Kiev released videos of captured Russian soldiers and rebels pushed toward a government-held city. The one-on-one session, which Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko described as "tough and complex," ended early Wednesday after a day of talks on the crisis in the Belarusian capital of Minsk. Mr. Poroshenko said afterward that he would prepare a "road map" toward a possible cease-fire with the pro-Russia separatists." In other words, absolutely no progress. There was however escalation, when overnight the September Bund future rose as much as 36 ticks to 151.18, after Poland PM Tusk said "regular" Russian troops are operating in eastern Ukraine. And so we are back to square one, with concerns over Russia pushing European bonds to new record highs, in turn leading to more US Treasury buying, while a brand new rumor of more easing from the ECB, this time by Deutsche Bank, has propped up European equities, which like US futures are trading water around the critical 2000 level.

It is unclear exactly why stock futures, bonds - with European peripheral yields hitting new record lows for the second day in a row - gold, oil and pretty much everything else is up this morning but it is safe to say the central banks are behind it, as is the "de-escalation" algo as a meeting between Russia and Ukraine begins today in Belarus' capital Minsk. Belarusian and Kazakhstani leaders will also be at the summit. Hopes of a significant progress on the peace talks were dampened following Merkel's visit to Kiev over the weekend. The German Chancellor said that a big breakthrough is unlikely at today's meeting. Russian FM Lavrov said that the discussion will focus on economic ties, the humanitarian crisis and prospects for a political resolution. On that note Lavrov also told reporters yesterday that Russia hopes to send a second humanitarian aid convoy to Ukraine this week. What he didn't say is that he would also send a cohort of Russian troops which supposedly were captured by overnight by the Ukraine army (more shortly).

Stocks Stumble On J-Hole But Close Best Week In 4 MonthsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/22/2014 15:04 -0500
US equity markets were led by the stodgy old low-beta Dow this week - not the high-flying muppetry of the Russell or Nasdaq - as stocks enjoyed the best week in 4 months amidst escalation of geopolitical time-bombs in Israel, Iraq, and Ukraine. Dow and Trannies gained 2% by the close as today's disappointment in Yellen and Draghi took the exuberant shine off an otherwise bottom-left-to-top-right Birinyi ruler-based market. The USDollar gained 1.1% on the week - its best week since November - closing at one-year highs. Gold was slapped almost 2% lower (worst week in almost 3 months) as did WTI (back at $1280 and $93.50 respectively). Copper surged 3.2% on the week (2nd best week in a year) on China restocking chatter. Treasuries were a mixed bag with dramatic flattening on the week (30Y +2bps, 5Y +12bps) to 2009 flat. Credit markets cratered on the day - ignoring equity's relative shrug.

While today's key events were supposed to be the Jackson speeches first by Janet Yellen at 10:00am Eastern and then by Mario Draghi at 2:30 pm, Ukraine quickly managed to steal the spotlight yet again when moments after the first Russian humanitarian aid convoys entered Ukraine allegedly without permission, Kiev first accused Russia of staging a direct invasion, even if moments later it changed its tune and said it had allowed the convoy in to "avoid provocations." In other words, your daily dose of Ukraine disinformation, which initially managed to push futures down some 0.3% before futs regained virtually all losses on the subsequent clarifications. Expect much more conflicting, confusing and very provocative headlines out of Kiev as the local government and the CIA try to get their story straight.

Alternative Measures Suggest Weaker EconomySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 16:42 -0500
There is much hope pinned on continuing economic recovery in the United States despite a deterioration of the global economy virtually everywhere else. While it was not surprising to see a bounce back in activity after a contractionary first quarter, there are several economic data points that suggest that sustainability of the bounce is unlikely. Expectations are very likely well ahead of reality at the current time. This increases the risk of disappointment in the months and quarters ahead which could be a negative for the markets.

GMO: "There Is No Safe Place To Hide"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 12:24 -0500
"Today's environment, however, is quite distinct, as seen in the chart below, where we lay out the GMO seven-year forecasts in a volatility (an imperfect shorthand for risk) versus return format for the traditional asset classes, or betas. This beta desert is so challenging because not only are there no asset classes that we believe are priced to deliver 5% real return (the red line), there is also no safe place to hide and wait (the green circle)." - GMO

Futures Flat With All Headline-Scanning Algo Eyes On Today's FOMC MinutesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/20/2014 06:09 -0500
While everyone's (algorithmic) attention will be focused on today's minutes from the July 29-30 FOMC meeting for views on remaining slack in U.S. economy following recent changes in the labor market (especially a particularly solid JOLTS report which indicates that at least on the openings front, there is no more) and any signal of policy change by the Fed ahead of Fed Chair Janet Yellen's speech in Jackson Hole on Aug. 22, a curious thing happened overnight when a few hours ago the BoE's own minutes show the first vote split since 2011, as Weale and McCafferty argue for a 0.75% bank rate. Then again, if the Russians are finally bailing on London real estate, the inflationary pressures at the top of UK housing may finally be easing. In any event, every FOMC "minute" will be overanalyzed for hints of what Yellen's speech on Friday morning will say, even if stocks just shy of all time highs know quite well she won't dare say anything to tip the boat despite her warnings of a biotech and social network bubble.

- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed U.S. companies' patent experiences in Japan as compared with those in the United States and Europe. GAO noted that: (1) more than three times as many companies were dissatisfied with their overall patent experience in Japan as compared with that in the United States and Europe; (2) 65 percent of the companies reported at least one major problem in obtaining patents in Japan; (3) the problems in obtaining Japanese patents included the length of time involved, the cost, the scope of the patent protection granted, and difficulties in obtaining patents for pioneering inventions; and (4) some of the problems encountered by U.S. firms were due to their lack of understanding of the Japanese patent system, translation difficulties, and poor communication between U.S. companies and their Japanese patent representatives.

How great to get hot chocolate and other things you don't necessarily buy when on a budget. When I was volunteering in Ohio, one of the things I realized after a few months is when you have a choice of choosing a grain staple like rice (which is affordable) and crackers (which are a luxury purchase) you most often choose the luxury item because you would never spend the money on that type of food.

I also noticed that a lot of people did not necessarily 'need' food in that their pantry was bare, but getting food at the pantry allowed them to have money to put gas in their car, pay for heat in the winter, or pay for prescriptions. Which I think many people don't realize.

It's great that you volunteer as a family. We always needed extra help at our pantry..and so few of the customers were willing to volunteer.

Right now we live paycheck to paycheck but I have faith things will turn around but until then I am using this time to teach my children that even though Christmas will be only gifts from grandparents this year, we are blessed beyond measure - we are healthy, have family and friends and an amazing church. I have taught my children that we are rich...not wealthy; wealthy is only about money.

Dallas Cowboys Richest NFL Team at $2.3 Billion, Still Can't Make Playoffs
The Dallas Cowboys may not rake in the wins so much anymore, but they sure do rake in the money.
The Cowboys, who have won two playoff games in the last 17 years (and failed to make the postseason in 2012), have come out on top of Forbes' list of valuable NFL teams. The Cowboys are worth $2.3 billion, making it the seventh consecutive year they have finished first on the list. With like that, it seems America's Team is more like Bank of America's Team.
The New England Patriots took the second spot, with a value of $1.8 billion. The Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens landed at number nine with $1.227 billion. The Oakland Raiders finished all the way at the bottom at $825 million.
If you get the chance to cobble together a few hundred million dollars worth of coins in your couch cushions, you should strongly consider buying an NFL franchise: the average team is worth $1.17 billion, way ahead of the averages for the other major pro sports in the US: Major League Baseball ($744 million), NBA ($509 million) and NHL ($282 million).
5 NFL Teams With the Highest Worth
1. Dallas Cowboys – $2.3 billion
2. New England Patriots – $1.227 billion
3. Washington Redskins – $1.7 billion
4. New York Giants – $1.55 billion
5. Houston Texans – $1.45 billion

There's going to be a lot of blood and ink spilled across the internet on the subject of the opening weekend for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1.' Yes, the third film in the series did open significantly lower than its predecessors. Yes, there are definitely people at Lionsgate wringing their hands and trying to figure out why the film opened below expectations. And yet, that opening weekend is still massive. It's three day total is larger than most movies ever have a chance to make in their entire runs. So, let's have some perspective as we dive into this week's top 10.

Solution structure of the third zinc finger domain of FOG-1
The structure was published by Simpson, R.J.Y., Lee, S.H.Y., Bartle, N., et al., Matthews, J.M., Mackay, J.P., and Crossley, M., in 2004 in a paper entitled "A Classic Zinc Finger from Friend of GATA Mediates an Interaction with the Coiled-coil of Transforming Acidic Coiled-coil 3." (abstract).
The structure was determined using NMR spectroscopy and deposited in 2004.
The experimental data on which the structure is based was also deposited.
The PDB entry contains the structure of Zinc finger protein ZFPM1. This molecule has the UniProt identifier O35615 (FOG1_MOUSE). The sample contained 35 residues which is < 90% of the natural sequence. Out of 35 residues 35 were observed and are deposited in the PDB.
It also contains one or more heterogenic compounds (e.g., ligands, co-factors, ions, modified amino acids, etc.); see here for a complete list.
The molecule is most likely monomeric.
The following tables show cross-reference information to other databases (to obtain a list of all PDB entries sharing the same property or classification, click on the magnifying glass icon):
