Small Business Securities Offerings Frequently Asked Questions
The following questions are representative of inquiries frequently received by staff members of the Small Business Section:
I'm thinking about starting a business but I need to raise more money. Can I advertise for investors?
Answer: In order to advertise, you generally must register the offering with the Division. Our experience has been that start-up businesses have a very difficult time getting investors from the general public. Mostly, you will be relying on family, friends, and business acquaintances to invest in your company. One or more exemptions from registration may be appropriate for your needs. The Options for Small Business in the Securities Market booklet describes the exemptions that are available to businesses.
What is a "security"?
Answer: "Security" is broadly defined. It includes all of the readily recognizable investment vehicles, such as stocks, bonds, limited partnership interests, and notes, as well as lesser-known items. In general, any transaction that involves an investment of money in an enterprise, with an expectation of profits to be earned through the efforts of someone other than the investor, is a security.
What is the role of the Securities Division?
Answer: In order to protect investors, Washington law requires that every security that is offered or sold must either be registered or subject to an exemption from registration. Many of the registration and exemption provisions require a filing to be made with the Division. The filing requirements depend on the registration or exemption provision relied upon. In some cases, the filing requirements may be minimal. In other cases, it will be necessary to file a disclosure document, typically called a "prospectus" or "offering circular," and various exhibits. Regardless of an issuer's filing requirements, the law requires that all material facts regarding the issuer and the offering be disclosed to prospective investors.
Does making the appropriate exemption or registration filing in Washington allow me to sell my company's securities in other states?
Answer: No, the Company must generally register or qualify for an exemption from registration in each state in which it wishes to sell. Issuers should also note that the federal government, through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), also regulates securities. The federal system is similar to the state system in that federal registration is required unless an exemption from registration is available. For information on federal securities regulation, contact the SEC's Office of Small Business at 202-942-2950. The SEC also has a section for Small Business on its home page at www.sec.gov/info/smallbus.shtml.
I want to sell the company's offering myself. Do I need to be licensed as a securities salesperson?
Answer: Registered offerings (SCOR, Regulation A, registration by qualification or coordination) must be sold by licensed securities salespersons. If no commissions will be paid to sell the shares, officers and directors of the issuer may become licensed without taking any qualifying examinations. In that instance, a license is obtained by filing a Form U-4 application with the Division and paying the required $40 licensing fee.
For offerings exempt under Regulation D Rule 504, no securities salesperson license is required; however, no compensation can be paid to sell the securities.
For offerings exempt under Regulation D Rule 505, WAC 460-44A-505(2)(b)(i) provides that "No commission, fee, or other remuneration shall be paid or given directly or indirectly, to any person for soliciting any prospective purchaser that is not an accredited investor in the state of Washington unless such person is registered in this state as a broker-dealer or salesperson." For offerings exempt under Regulation D Rule 506(b), there are no licensing requirements and no restrictions on the payment of compensation.
For offerings exempt under Regulation D Rule 506(c), registration as a broker-dealer or securities salesperson is required.
I want to use a broker to sell my offering. Does the Securities Division have a list of brokers that have sold small offerings in the past?
Answer: No. Our experience has been that most small offerings, particularly those under $1 million or so, are marketed by officers of the issuer. Broker interest in these small offerings has been very limited to date.
I'm interested in doing one of the "fill-in-the-blanks" offerings (SCOR/Regulation A). How can I get a copy of a previously completed offering circular to use as an example?
Answer: Copies are available through the public disclosure process. You can download the Public Disclosure Request Form or call the Division and ask them to send you a Public Disclosure Request Form. Simply indicate the offering circular that you would like to see and return the form. If you would like us to suggest an offering circular for a company that is in the same business as yours, please give us a call. For your convenience, as well as ours, however, we request that you contact our public disclosure coordinator, Sarah Reynolds at email@example.com or 360-902-8760 prior to visiting us.
My business has no operating history. Can I still make an offering of securities?
Answer: There are generally no rules stating that a company must be in business for a certain period of time before it can sell its securities, although there are rules that would make it difficult for a newly formed company to make a public offering of debt securities. Please be aware, however, that a company without significant operating history may find it difficult to answer the questions on the SCOR Form. At the very least, a company should complete a thorough (and realistic) business plan before attempting to draft a securities disclosure document. Companies without significant operating histories may also have a more difficult time attracting investors to their offerings.
What is the filing fee?
Answer: The fee is generally dependent on the dollar amount of securities that you wish to sell in this state. Please see Options for Small Business in the Securities Market.
Do I need a lawyer to fill out the SCOR offering circular?
Answer: There is no legal requirement that a lawyer be retained to fill out the SCOR Form. It will be necessary to obtain a legal opinion on the legality and validity of the offering. That is, an opinion that the corporation has been correctly formed and the securities will be legally issued. SCOR was designed as a "do-it-yourself" form. It is usually quite helpful, however, to at least get input from a lawyer familiar with securities matters. It is also smart to consult with a lawyer to make sure that your company is properly structured for your proposed offering.
Can the Division recommend a lawyer?
Answer: We cannot recommend any particular lawyer. We suggest you ask for referrals from your friends and business associates. Lawyers that specialize in securities generally practice with major law firms. One way to get started is to search the Washington State Bar Association's Lawyer Directory for attorneys who list "securities" as their area of practice.

Top Asian Companies

Sinopec maintained its position as Asia's biggest chemical company in 2005, topping CW's ranking of Asian chemical firms by sales for a second successive year (table, p. 25). The company extended its lead over the second placed firm, Mitsubishi Chemical, and recorded chemical sales of more than $20 billion. Sinopec is joined in the group of leading Asian chemical producers by another Chinese company, PetroChina, which makes its debut in CW's ranking due to the first-time availability of a sales figure for PetroChina's chemicals business...

Michael Jackson was 12 years old (and looked even younger) when The Jackson 5 -- Michael and brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon -- performed on The Ed Sullivan Show for the first time in 1969. The adorable kid with the big voice was already a showbiz veteran, having toured with the group since he was just 6. Michael's extraordinary talent was obvious: During the group's performance of their first major single "I Want You Back," Michael's older brothers (no slouches themselves) practically fade into the background. He steals the spotlight -- a harbinger of things to come.

By Monika Mitchell
Greed was named the culprit for the 2008 financial crisis. In an article by William Cohan entitled: "Did Psychopaths Take Over Wall Street Asylum," greed is defined as the "single-minded pursuit of their own self-enrichment and self-aggrandizement to the exclusion of all other considerations." Cohan draws from an academic paper published in "The Journal of Business Ethics" from Nottingham Business School Professor Clive Boddy that concludes that sociopathic behavior of industry leaders "largely caused the crisis." Boddy asserts that "corporate psychopaths" climbed to the top of the biggest financial institutions of the world and were "able to influence the moral climate of the whole organization." That moral framework had already been established by two generations of professionals who believed that greed was good. On Wall Street from 1987-2008, you were only as good as your "number."
Making money the old-fashioned way (by earning it) had largely gone out of fashion by the time the esoteric mortgage markets made their way into the mainstream. The once productive residential MBS market disintegrated into a simple child's game of how to outfox your neighbor. A senior structured finance manager at Bank of America (BAC) explained to a young analyst in 2006: "This is a game of musical chairs. We sell garbage. Whoever is stuck with the garbage when the music stops, sinks." The former analyst, now Yogi, explained: "The greed wasn't necessarily malicious. It was simply automatic. There was no specific person in mind at the other end." (Share prices of BofA currently trade at $6.61 from a November 2006 high of $54.77.)
Lack of sympathy or empathy for other people defined common business practices in the institutional debt markets particularly during the years 2004-2007. Basically all hell broke loose in the securitization model when the lid that kept the markets restrained was lifted at the SEC on April 28, 2004 with asset to debt ratios skyrocketing from 12 to 1 to as high as 45 to 1 at the biggest shops (net capital rule). Structured products couldn't be created fast enough for hungry investors and securities firms pressured banks to make more loans.
Sociopaths (synonymous with psychopaths) are defined as persons "having no moral responsibility or social conscience." Boddy claims that 1% of the general population is psychopathic. So the question becomes: if Boddy is right, was that 1% concentrated in the mortgage lending and securitization industry? The laws of probability make that doubtful. Yet it is clear there was little or no social conscience industry wide in the quality of the loans given and securities created. There was little moral responsibility expressed towards the poor dumb, and perhaps greedy themselves, borrowers who signed their future-access-to-credit away with no doc, no down payment interest-only loans.
As the market exploded in the fall of 2008, my partner in an institutional debt recruiting firm and I began to ask the tough questions of senior managers: "How did banks give a loan to someone who has no shot at paying it back?" A bond trader explained: "The early vintages of subprime products had a lot of value." Loans were geared to borrowers who had experienced temporary hardships like job loss or illness and needed a second chance at owning a home. These securities had higher returns and demand by investors grew substantially. As demand grew, industry standards diminished.
As one Lehman trader put it, "The industry lost its purpose." The purpose of the mortgage securities market was to allow credit and capital to flow to working and middle class people and help them make the biggest purchase of their life: their home. Profits were derived from a clear social purpose.
What became evident as we interviewed scores of displaced mortgage industry professionals was that market makers (99% of which were men) were more often than not hard-working ethical people: good husbands, devoted fathers and dedicated philanthropists. A pattern of anti-social behavior was exhibited among non-sociopathic individuals. Despite one's personal morality, operating successfully in the industry required one to detach from moral responsibility and social conscience.
How could this happen? Didn't they understand that underwriting, trading and selling these "esoteric" (toxic) securities would harm the American public? No, they clearly did not: As one star trader put it: "The human element was too far removed." How did banks take a fundamentally human industry like mortgage lending and successfully dehumanize it?
One of the most popular codes in finance is found in the simple but powerful belief that business is not personal. The concept was common long before Michael Corleone uttered the words in "The Godfather." Discussing a plan to gun down his competitors in cold-blood, Michael tells his brother: "It's not personal Sonny, it's strictly business." While that might have worked for fictional mafia, how it made its way into the mainstream marketplace is curious. The adage is repeated so often, we rarely question its validity. The foreclosure and housing crisis that emerged in the wake of irresponsible lending practices reveals that business is indeed personal when it involves your home, assets, retirement and income.
Perhaps the doctrine had roots in the 1970 seminal essay by University of Chicago economist Milton Friedman, "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Profits." Friedman claimed that businesses have no social responsibility because they are not people. "A corporation," he said, "is an artificial person and therefore has artificial responsibilities." Remarkably, Friedman saw a "corporation" not as a group of people transacting business together, but as a nonhuman facsimile. At the time, his sociopathic treatise was radical and shocked the post-1960s moral conscience. But gradually it became the norm.
There is no way to express the enormous impact that Friedman's doctrine had on the American financial system -twelve years later it surfaced in the market deregulation favored by Reaganomics. Reagan's Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was a devoted Friedman colleague and supervised monetary policy for two decades. Like his peer, Greenspan believed "the market corrected itself," despite the fact that the market was dictated by out-of-control human behavior. In the end before a 2008 Congressional committee, Greenspan confessed his thinking was "flawed."
Even if industry professionals possessed a social conscience as many of them did in the lead up to the crisis, the system itself did not support it. Many individuals wanted to stop the toxic mortgage machine; some tried valiantly to stop it. Yet they were prisoners of a system that had systematically dehumanized one of the most basic human activities: enterprise. It was a veritable brainwashing. The business of home loans is nothing if not personal.
That good people do bad things is not a mystery. History is full of stark examples. And none of us are immune to them. In the United States our founders understood slavery to be morally reprehensible. Slave owners like America's third president Thomas Jefferson wrote scathing criticisms of the practice. Yet neither he nor his peers could resolve the moral dilemma posed by the economic institution until a century later. When it came to money over morality, it seems that money won. Were our founders psychopaths? Or were they merely caught in an economic system that had successfully dehumanized labor in the minds of profiteers?
And how did they accomplish that? By convincing themselves that socially repugnant behavior was acceptable and justifying it with repetition and rhetoric. Slavers in 18th and 19th century America, otherwise law abiding morally upright citizens, claimed that owning human beings was their natural property right – never mind its inherent brutality. It proves that we can convince ourselves of anything, even that a fundamentally human activity like business is not personal.
In the 21st century, we are poised for major social transformation from an exclusive sense of self to an inclusive sense of the whole. How does what I do for profit affect the society that supports me? That is the question for modern business and finance. Banking is one of the core elements of our financial system. Given its essential purpose in the general economy, its obligation to society is even greater than other less essential services.
Traditionally, the answer lies in laws – even ill-conceived ones such as the bureaucratic nightmare that is Dodd-Frank. But laws are made to be broken as they say and a cadre of brilliant legal minds can outmaneuver a law any day of the week. So that leaves our internal moral compass to guide us. To change the system, we must change the for-profit model that the robust mortgage industry was based on from "anything goes" in the pursuit of profit to an economic partnership that recognizes its direct connection to society.
The continuing economic conundrum both inside and outside the industry necessitates a deep ideological shift. Main Street misery and Wall Street woes post 2008 reveal that the financial industry has a direct impact on public welfare and therefore a solid responsibility toward it.
History shows that good people will indeed do bad things when society allows it. Yet it also shows that good people will inevitably do good things when society expects that of them. Perhaps it is time to banish a no-longer-hot Gekko from our psyche. In its place, a clearly defined Social Contract can be structured between Wall Street and Main Street. A contract based on integrity and transparency where if you win, I win, we all win. Because after all, doing good business is personal.
This blog first appeared in February 2012 in Seeking Alpha. Monika is the co-author of "Conversations with Wall Street." A book about the human-side of Wall Street's securities industry. A true story from inside the mortgage markets where the actions of good people and not-so-good people collectively led to the economic crisis – with solutions on how to change the model so it works for the 100%.
From "Conversations with Wall Street" Epilogue "The Social Contract"
Take Financial Industry Pledge: We understand as a for-profit financial institution providing products & services to consumers and investors that our business practices have a direct impact on the greater society and the natural world that sustains us. We acknowledge our responsibility to honor that great charge through fair and just business practices that respect the human dignity, environmental and economic rights of all those we affect.

Hughes' sparkling 112 in the series opener in Melbourne Friday helped Australia (305 for 5) overpower Sri Lanka to post a 107-run win and the diminutive left-hander is looking for a repeat on the batting-friendly Adelaide Oval pitch.
"The team manager came up and told me when I got out. It's flattering to hear that," Hughes said after becoming the eighth player ever to achieve the feat.
"There's been some great players before me. My confidence is quite high.
"I really can't wait to get there on Sunday and hopefully score another big one and set up another win.
"First game, so I had a few nerves there. It was nice to get the three figures on debut today."
The former NSW opener has made a big success of his switch to play in South Australia this southern summer which helped him regain his Test place.
Hughes shared a 140-run partnership for the third wicket with stand-in skipper George Bailey (89).
Australia's selectors had rested skipper Michael Clarke, opener David Warner and wicketkeeper-batsman Matt Wade for the first two matches while vice-captain Shane Watson is recovering from a calf injury.
"There's some pretty good horses (players) left out of it so I think they'll be right," Bailey said when asked if the rested players could get back into the side.
"It was a really great team effort to stand up on the back of some criticism from outsiders and some people who weren't sure if we were up to it.
"Hopefully we've put those doubts to bed and the next challenge is to do it consistently and go two-nil up."
Bailey paid tribute to the work of 35-year-old gloveman Brad Haddin, who was recalled in Wade's absence.
"One of the challenges with the group is the lack of experience I guess so having someone as composed as Brad is, not only on the ground but off the ground the way he prepares, it's something I take a lot out of," Bailey said.
Opener Aaron Finch (16) and number three Usman Khawaja (3) also made their ODI debut in Friday's game.

INTRO - Gavin McClurg is captain of Discovery, a 57-foot globe trotting catamaran that hosted the Best Kiteboarding Odyssey for five years. This is his first column that, over the issues, took us through the ups and downs of life at sea, searching the most remote corners of the world for the best kite spots known (but mostly unknown) to man. All photos by Gavin's partner, the ultra talented Jody MacDonald
PHOTOS- Jody MacDonald
I've just kited a delicious, ludicrously long double to triple overhead right hander that has never been kited and the adrenaline is still surging. Bruce Marks, one of the owners of The Best Odyssey and I are sitting on the fore-deck of Discovery, our beloved Lagoon 570 catamaran, in Micronesia watching the sun skate briefly on the horizon before plopping like an Alka-Seltzer into the ocean. We're enjoying a cold beer and he confirms what I'm thinking at this very moment.
'Gavin, we've come a long way.' 23,212 miles to be exact, but Bruce isn't talking about distance. Bruce was our first kiteboarding client on a previous boat, in another lifetime in Fiji back in 2004. I'd met a girl who had taken a ten day trip to learn how to kite and she thought it would be a good market for my business of running adventure charters at sea. As I was pining to make that girl notice me a bit more, I couldn't have agreed more. I had no idea what kiteboarding was, but if it would get that girl on my vessel, then kiteboarding it would be!
Two years later Jody and I were still together, still sailing Saoirse, a 52' monohull, travelling up through Indonesia running surf and kite charters. We were living the life many people dream of and we were both miserable. We had no money, a boat in constant need of repair and we were both working so hard that grand vistas and glassy waves were barely noticed, let alone appreciated. We'd reached the nexus of burnout. In seven years I'd sailed half-way around the globe and all I wanted to do was stop and, if there was any hope of keeping Jody in my life, we needed a change.
It happened on a beach in Thailand. We'd sold the boat, paid off the mounting debt and were still broke, but at least unencumbered with operating trips that were fun for everyone but us. We didn't have a car, or a house, or a job; and we didn't have a plan. But my heart was still held by the sea. I looked out across the green limestone-fed Thai waters and said, 'Jody I'm not done with this.'
'What do you mean? You're not done with what?'
'With this,' I said, and pointed to the ocean. 'My dreams are out there.' We could have never known at the time, but it was on that beach that The Best Odyssey was born. An idea began to form, which grew into basically this: 1) Buy a luxury blue-water catamaran big enough to comfortably house gear and guests. 2) Use other people's money to do it. We'd design and be in control of everything - the itinerary; the people that joined; the finances; the crew, the vision. It was a concept completely contrary to business as usual. Instead of creating something we knew the market sought, we created exactly what we wanted then put it out there to see if anyone would go for it.
Each year would consist of a series of globe-trotting ten and 14 day remote expeditions chasing wind and waves. But to get there required a year of sitting in front of a computer using what tiny funds we had to negotiate what seemed like endless obstacles. Website, contracts, offshore bank accounts and sponsorship - all things that I of course never learned in four years of business school, but had to be negotiated. And this is where the owners of the Odyssey come into the story.
Imagine sitting behind a computer in Germany, Australia or South Africa and finding our website. It looks cool and exciting. But there is no boat. Only a dream, projected by two people you've never met. To buy into the dream you wire a large sum of money to an offshore bank account - a deposit for a boat that will be purchased if enough people buy-in! Reasonable people would laugh and Google onward.
And most people did. But we've learned some kiteboarders are like us. They are dreamers too. And luckily there were just enough of them to not only help us realise our dreams, but theirs, too.
I've just shattered a molar biting into a brie and caper-berry pizza. I'm jet-lagged so badly that I woke up last night at 11p.m. and got in the shower to prepare for my day of signing contracts and putting the final touches on purchasing Discovery thinking it was morning. I've been holed up in a miniature motel in Nice, France for a week doing little other than pacing back and forth and calling my bank. $600,000 has gone missing in the black hole world of international wire transfers, half of the money needed to make our purchase. If the cash doesn't show today we won't get the transaction done for a month as Italy goes off-line over Christmas. Our first trip of the expedition is on the books for 10th February in Grenada - a small island in the windward isles of the Caribbean some 5400 miles distant; a solid three week sail. I've never sailed a catamaran before. I have no tools, no spares, no bedding, no equipment in the galley and only two guys for crew. One has never sailed a day in his life. Long offshore passages typically take years to prepare for. We'll have 12 hours. But only if the money materializes.
Mysteriously it does. The bank offers some pathetic excuse but I don't have time to complain. The deal is signed and sealed in the final minutes of the day, mere moments more and our first season would have been seriously jeopardised. At 0700 the next morning we take on diesel and put Discovery's sails up for the first time. It's blowing a brisk 35 knots and our course puts the wind at our back. Clear of the marina Discovery bolts forward so quickly I think something must be wrong. We scream along averaging 16 knots (nearly 32 kilometres per hour) in the first 24 hours, clobbering my best run on any previous boat by 60 miles. I can put a beer down and come back to it in ten minutes and it's still sitting there. I'll never sail a monohull again.
We spend a year in the Caribbean, visiting a number of spots that have been ridden in places like St. Lucia and Martinique and also many virgin wonderlands, like Tortuga in Venezuela and the San Blas in Panama. In a year we rack up nearly 70 kite locations and have over a dozen professional riders come aboard to teach us mortals their tricks. We slam into a reef near Anegada in the BVIs, a place any numb nut with a driver's license can charter a boat and my ego is pummeled appropriately. I'd been running on emotional afterburners for months and wasn't following normal protocol, a result of sleep deprivation and simple overconfidence. Luckily Discovery survives the stupidity and I am granted a relatively cheap lesson in awareness. I am responsible for the safety of our crew and guests and exhaustion is no excuse for poor decision making.
Cruising does not get easier than in the Caribbean. Distances are short, provisions are found with ease and there are boats in nearly every protected harbor. It's a perfect place to start the expedition; to warm up, to get to know the boat, to train the crew, to perfect our boat launches, to kite endless reefs and to prepare for all the wondrous places to come. I turn to Bruce and smile. He's right; we have come a long way. And thankfully we've got a long way to go.

As Valley temperatures drop, residents are lighting up their fireplaces.
But if the chimney hasn't been inspected, it could lead to a dangerous situation.
In its recent study, the National Fire Protection Association found the No. 1 cause of home heating fires was failure to clean creosote from, primarily, chimneys.
Creosote is the byproduct of wood burning, and it can stick to the inside of chimneys. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, creosote is highly combustible and it can build up in the flue. Once there, if it lights, it can cause a chimney fire.
Chimneys and fireplaces need to be inspected annually, said Mesa Fire Department spokesman Forrest Smith.
"Stationary heaters (such as furnaces and fireplaces) need to have a qualified technician looking at it on an annual basis," Smith said.
At the beginning of December, when temperatures first dropped, East Valley firefighters were called to three home fires, mostly minor, Smith said.
"It got to the point where it felt cold. It seemed most people were using their fireplaces," he said.
One issue in the East Valley is people may be now living in a home that was foreclosed previously. The new owner or renter may not know the condition of the chimney, he said.
Another problem is putting too much wood in the fireplace.
"Last year we had at least three situations where people overloaded the fireplace and they got too hot," Smith said.
Many of the East Valley's recently built homes have "zero clearance" fireplaces that are prefabricated, lightweight metal boxes. They're just placed into a spot in the home, right next to building material that may be combustible. Too much heat in the box, and a fire may start.
Homeowners and residents who know the type of fireplace in their home may look up the rating system – and get user advice – online.
Other fireplace advice:
• Smith recommends a 3-foot rule when it comes to fireplaces – keep kids, pets and flammable items at least 3-feet from the fire.
• Dispose of old ashes, even if you believe they're cooled, at least 10 feet from the house.
• Keep portable heaters at least 3-feet from kids, pets and beds, also.
Even if you have a gas-powered fireplace, there's a danger: carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure your home is well ventilated and put a carbon monoxide monitor in the hallway of sleeping areas in the home.
Finally, Smith wants to remind people not to use alternative ways to heat a home. Last year, several adults and children were treated after someone placed an active barbecue too close to an open door. The home pulled in the fumes and made the people inside sick.

"Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life." ~ Pablo Picasso
This statement from Picasso sums up what photography does for me. Often in my day-to-day life, I forget about the beautiful things of this world. But, in pausing to photograph a glorious sunset or capture a reflection in water, I stop long enough to "dust" my soul of the everyday life and absorb the peace and serenity which surrounds me.
In my photographic art you will find an underlying theme of stillness - a quiet serenity - sprinkled with a hint of nostalgia. I find a spiritual joy in capturing the colors of nature's palette; its hues blended by natural light. In an abandoned building, I revel in an imagined history and marvel at the bare essentials of its structure. I delight in the creation of a still life that can evoke emotion.
It is my intent to offer images which "dust" the soul. I can only hope that the peace and serenity I found while capturing these images will extend to others.
If you should find one that captures your attention, rest assured your purchase will be professionally customized, according to your specifications, carefully packaged and shipped, and you will receive a beautiful work of art!

46 Hasluck to Evatt
Cablegram UN14 NEW YORK, 4 January 1947, 2.31 p.m.
The following background information and tentative comments are submitted to assist you in reaching policy decisions on disarmament.
1. The question comes before the Security Council through- A. General Assembly resolution of December 14th, Disarmament. [1]
B. Atomic Commission's Interim Report.
C. Subsidiary but related Assembly resolution on troops in foreign territory.
2. During past examinations at United Nations headquarters we have witnessed- A. Period when all Soviet activities within United Nations clearly subserved current contests in Europe.
B. Period following the close of the Paris Conference when Soviet appeared to engage in propaganda first to discredit Anglo-American policies (e.g. in Balkans, China, Spain) and second to represent the Soviet as the only power genuinely serving peace.
3. The disarmament proposals were probably produced in Assembly partly to challenge Britain and America, partly to maintain Soviet reputation and possibly also to avoid the approaching crisis in the Atomic Commission. Because several countries including United Kingdom, United States of America, Australia and Canada were prepared to meet the challenge, the situation was turned to good account and the outcome was General Assembly resolution on disarmament and approval by 10 votes of the Atomic report while the Soviet had been led so far along the common path that Gromyko abstained from voting against report. Nevertheless there is not the least doubt that the Soviet still differs on one fundamental, namely the place of the Security Council and hence veto in implementation of disarmament and atomic controls and in spite of what optimists say the Soviet clearly thinks about disarmament in different terms to others, for example they see disarmament primarily in terms of specific weapons such as atomic bomb rather than in terms of total military strength. (They apparently place Article 43 low on priority list and it is still uncertain exactly what meaning they give to controls and safeguards.) [2] Nevertheless they are in a position at the moment when they must come along or denounce their public professions and our best line would surely be to place the highest possible value on their professions and act with confidence that Soviet intentions are good until the Soviet itself gives any cause for doubt. Soviet participation is essential.
4. [3] For example, when the Soviet proposed a Commission to prepare plans, United States responded immediately with proposal to give priority to Atomic Report. (Texts in our Security 213). I submit that for the time being we should try to avoid repeating December pattern of moves and counter-moves, while chances of Security Council acceptance of Atomic Interim Report within the next two or three weeks would appear better if the Council had previously considered in good faith the Soviet proposal to set up the Disarmament Commission. I submit that our broad objective might be to bring about parallel work on the following lines- A. Commission established by Security Council starts work immediately on preparation of general disarmament plans.
B. Atomic Energy Commission proceeds with the next stage of the work.
C. Military Staff Committee commences intensive work on Article 43.
It is clear progress in any one will depend on progress in the others. Co-ordination will come through common representation.
5. A further difficulty arises from American personalities.
Senator Austin, who impresses me as being rather sententious and who has hitherto spoken of disarmament as a worthy ideal rather than a political and technical problem, shortly takes over leadership of the United States Mission to United Nations. Baruch [4] told me in strict confidence that his Atomic team will disband largely because of the difficulty of fitting into the new regime under Austin who will have strong authority. Nevertheless, Baruch intends to be active backstage with Truman and Byrnes. His own view of further progress is similar to that outlined in paragraph 4 above. There may, however, be brief period of American indecision during which Australia might play an active role.
6. First decision will concern proposals now before Security Council and I submit for your consideration that we should support the Soviet proposal for immediate establishment of the Commission, making clear that the Commission would work within full field of Assembly resolution and not in any pre-selected part and that this work will not prejudice in any way own province and continuance of work of A.E.C. in its early consideration of Interim Atomic Report. While Trieste may occupy the greater part or whole of the Council Meeting on January 7th, your instructions are urgently needed.

WellCare Paying $120,000 Civil Penalty to Resolve Questionable Campaign Contributions in Florida
Saturday, Aug 22,2009, 9:05:04 AM Click:
WellCare Health Plans Inc. (WCG) will pay a civil penalty of $120,000 to resolve charges it made questionable campaign contributions from 2003 through 2007.
The managed care company said it voluntarily disclosed the contributions to the Florida Elections Commission, which found four WellCare units didn't have a source of revenue independent of affiliate transfers and cash balances, and some of their contributions were for more than the legal limit.
"We are pleased this matter has been resolved," Vice Chairman Thomas F. O'Neil III said. "Our voluntary disclosure to the commission demonstrates our enterprise-wide commitment to regulatory compliance, transparency, and accountability." He added those responsible for the issues are no longer employed by the company.
WellCare also said there is no evidence the violations were intentional, and it halted contributions to Florida election campaigns in 2008.
Shares were off 1% to $24.65 in recent trading among a broader market rally but are up 91% so far this year.

PALERMO, Italy (AP) -- Roberta Vinci put Italy into the Fed Cup final, beating Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-3 Monday in a series postponed a day because of rain.
Vinci gave Italy a 3-1 lead in the best-of-five playoff against the defending champion. The match was played before a sparse crowd, with most visiting fans having traveled home Sunday.
Italy will play for the championship in November against Russia, which defeated Slovakia in Sunday's other semifinal.
Vinci recovered from a 5-3 deficit in the second set to serve for the match at 6-5. Safarova broke back to force the tiebreaker, which she dominated. Vinci then broke for a 5-3 lead in the third set before winning on her third match point.
The final doubles match was canceled.

The directions didn't say how much of the crackers to use so I used about 3/4 of a sleeve of Ritz. I think that was too much because it was a little dry. But it's extremely easy to make and pretty darn tasty so absolutely I will make it again..."
"This is easy if you use a container of pomegranate seeds available in the produce section of some supermarkets, and preferably dark chocolate. The tart bite of pomegranate seeds is wonderful with the smooth sweetness of dark chocolate."
"My mother used to make this. This was how she got us to eat peas. Yummy!"
"My boyfriend made this for me last night. He used 2 pounds of shrimp, weighed at the store with the shells and tails on. He doubled everything in the recipe except the salt which he measured as stated in the recipe. We agreed that any more salt would have been too salty, and he likes his salt. Our garlic cloves were quite big. When we make this ag..."
"I have been using this recipe for many years and have almost mastered it. In fact I made it just yesterday. It turned out great and I'm consuming it as I type this review. I have placed 4 individual ice cubes in a coffee mug and then filled the mug with Cabernet, which is my preferred way of serving it. (Don't laugh!) But this wonderful recipe cou..."
"I was about to submit the recipe as printed in Penzeys Spring 2008 catalog. As you said, Penzeys recipe calls for 1 cup long grain white rice and 1 tablespoon finely minced onion, optional. Penzeys directions don't call for rinsing the rice. They say place butter and minced onion in a heavy quart saucepan. Sauté over medium heat until onion is tr..."
"I used to make these all the time. They're fun to make and even more fun to eat."
"This is even better over chocolate ice cream and slathered with hot fudge."
"My mother used to make this with various colors of jello. It's good and looks pretty. Unmolding is a snap if you poke a hole in the bottom with a can opener when you're ready to unmold. Speaking from personal experience, be careful it doesn't roll off the plate after it's unmolded. It's round & slippery. :)"
"I've made this several times. Everyone loved them, adults and kids, and they're easy. I followed the directions exactly - the biscuits puff up in the oven - except I used more cheese - Kraft extra sharp Cracker Barrel Cheddar - because I love cheese. I like the meat mixture as it's written, but if it seems too sweet, you could cut back on the br..."

Content management systems, London, UK
We've got it under control
If you want to take control of your website through content management systems, London UK based design agencies like us have the intelligence and the know-how to give you full control. Your website is the face of your company, brand or product. If you want an easy way to update your web site design, content or structure, a fish in sea can provide you with a bespoke content management system.
afisCMS - Content Management System
London, UK - Where all the big fish live
In the capital, you will find an endless list of graphic design agencies, all selling off-the-shelf solutions. Whilst everyone else offers you generic content management solutions, we have built a modular content management system that can be tailored to the requirements of your business. No-one else's.
Website functionality should be specific to your company, and this is where off-the-shelf solutions tend to fail. a fish in sea can offer you a content management system with a difference - a system that is bespoke to you and the scope to make additions at a later stage.
So what is a content management system anyway?
Before the age of Content Management Systems (or CMS), knowledge of programming languages such as HTML or Javascript was essential in order to update a website. This meant paying out-of-house agencies for each change and every update - expensive and time consuming. Websites have come a long way, not only for the user, but also for you, our client. A CMS is an interface that gives you the tools to update content when and as you need, without the knowledge of programming languages.
Today, it is absolutely crucial for your business to have in place, an efficient, workable and reliable content management system. London UK based company, a fish in sea is built on efficiency and this is evident in our design work and the CMS that we build for you. Our system, the afisCMS is unique to a fish in sea and can make a dramatic difference in the way you run your business.
What can you do with the afis content management system?
London, UK is the place to look if you need to regain control of the website that represents your company, brand or product. Why should you rely on someone else to change the content on your website? If you are looking for a design agency that understands your individual content management needs, a fish in sea can provide just that. Using a secure username and password, you can access your website's interface and make use of functionalities, such as:
- add / edit / delete top level navigation
- add / edit / delete sub navigation
- add / edit / delete and format text on all pages
- add / edit / delete rich content such as video, imagery, audio, etc
- manage different levels of afisCMS users
- content publishing rights
- full control of search engine friendly URLs
- full control of page titles, file names and meta tags
- full control over robots files and instructions
- add / edit / delete banners for each page of the web site including text, imagery and flash
- Reorder all content and navigation just by a simple drag and drop system
- add / edit / delete products and manage all associated information
- full control over cross selling techniques such as products of the week, associated products, top 10 products, people who bought this also...etc.
- full e-commerce functionality
- easily integrated into all mainstream payment methods and gateways such as PayPal, WorldPay, Protx, etc
- shopping basket
- user populated wish lists
- user secure areas
- newsletter sign ups
- add / edit / send of newsletters to all registered users
- user management and order history
- add / edit / delete faqs
The above functionality list is by no means exhaustive - the only limit to what the afisCMS can do is imagination, and a fish in sea have plenty of that to spare!

Moving toward a cure
Having multiple sclerosis means that you may suddenly have blurry vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. Or that you may not always be able to walk around the house, let alone for miles on end. The symptoms of MS are different, and devastating, for everyone - the only certainty is that it will affect yet another person every hour of every day.
Why I Walk So Far
I've registered for the Wisconsin Challenge Walk MS because I want to do something for the people who have been diagnosed (including my mother, cousin and friends) - and because I want to do everything to prevent more people from learning what it means to live with this disease. Today, there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, and with diagnosis occurring most frequently between the ages of 20 and 50, many individuals face a lifetime filled with unpredictability.
Why You Should Sponsor Me
This event is a challenge - and an opportunity - for everyone involved, participants and donors alike. With commitment to this cause, we can all be part of a historic undertaking. The funds raised from the Challenge Walk MS will not only support research for a cure, but also provide programs which address the needs of hundreds of thousands of people living with MS right now. Because we choose to walk for those who sometimes can't. Because we choose to donate to the Challenge Walk MS, we are getting ever closer to the hour when no one will have to hear the words, "You have MS."

So does this mean... that all the subscribers to Martha Stweart Living are secretly furries? *gasp* 126.96.36.199 23:00, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
Clearly it means that the furries are, in general, Martha Stewart fans, not the reverse. Are you mad? 126.96.36.199 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

There is an additional pun, and I do not know if it was intended. One adult furry publication is called Heat. A map of where furry porn is appreciated would therefore also be a Heat map. Godel Fishbreath (talk) 15:14, 17 May 2013 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

There's something about a man in uniform. That slow, simmering attraction between Bunheads widow Michelle (Sutton Foster) and surfer dude Godot (Nathan Parsons) officially gets hot in Monday's episode (9/8c, ABC Family) — hot enough to brings in the hooks and ladders.
"So far we've only seen Michelle and Godot making out and trading barbs but things take a turn when there's a wild fire and he shows up in full firefighter gear," says Parsons. "She has no idea he's a volunteer with the Paradise fire department and really likes what she sees. In fact, that uniform works so well I'm thinking of getting one in real life!"
It's hard to imagine Dallas without J.R. — a sentiment shared by many when Larry Hagman passed away last Thanksgiving, midway through production of the rebooted soap's second season.

None more gleefully than Hagman, whose gaunt frailty can't mask the devilish glint beneath those statuesque eyebrows.
