If you'd like to read how CERN sells itself, see here.
Cosmological science has contributed to support of the Big Bang hypothesis. "The Big Bang theory developed from observations of the structure of the Universe and from theoretical considerations." This includes redshifts in galaxies, the cosmic microwave background radiation, the relative abundance of light elements, galaxy formation and the distribution of large-scale cosmic structures throughout the universe.
CERN doesn't do cosmological science. It does particle physics.
"The LHC allows scientists to reproduce the conditions that existed within a billionth of a second after the Big Bang. This is the moment, around 14 billion years ago, when the Universe is believed to have started with an explosion of energy and matter. During this first moment of time the particles and forces that shaped our Universe came into existence.
"Scientists recreate these conditions by colliding beams of high-energy protons or ions at close to the speed of light."
Particle physics is speculative, with abstruse hypotheses and considerations of exotic particles, dark matter, dark energy, anti-matter and so on. The theories follow a standard model but there is no known theory that integrates gravity theory with quantum theory.
CERN claims to have produced spinoff technologies, even the first steps at producing the World Wide Web. An independent contractor did this to help CERN share information. I contend that CERN was not necessary for the birth of these kinds of spinoffs and inventions. Technology reaches a point where feasible possibilities can become realities if they are economic. That is when inventions are introduced into practice and become widespread. And that's the efficient way, when they pay for themselves and then some. CERN's examples are suspiciously like "after us, because of us" or 'post hoc, propter hoc", which doesn't prove necessity or causation.
But CERN also admits that its aim and prime directions and spending are not for these happenstance projects which, I am saying, could be produced and would be produced by free markets when and where in demand and with a sharp focus on these inventions. CERN writes
"The LHC [Large Hadron Collider] is not primarily about building a better world. Rather, it allows us to test theories and ideas about how the Universe works, its origins and evolution."
This honest admission reveals that the purpose of the LHC is for the physicists involved to test their ideas. The benefits to the world are remote and not the focus. Fine, then let these physicists play around with their own money or with funds they raise freely. Why rob the rest of us?
I cannot evaluate the role of CERN in the development of certain spinoff technologies such as the PET scan. I will take them at their word provisonally:
"These benefits are felt particularly in medicine. For example, about 20 million people each year undergo diagnosis using radio-pharmaceuticals. A well known form of this is the Positron Emission Tomography, or PET scan, whose development owes much to CERN and the Geneva Cantonal Hospital as the forerunners of the detectors used in these scanners were developed initially as particle detectors for experiments at CERN."
But the obvious question is this. If the PET scan is a worthwhile technology, then wouldn't it be better or have been better to fund and develop it directly in the standard free market ways? Why go about this process in the roundabout way of building particle accelerators and funding basic research in physics through capital robbed from taxpayers? These issues always devolve into free market capitalism versus forced collectivism. I do not see what's so special about particle physics that it gains a privileged position. It's just like any other group that seeks handouts and privileges from the state. What kind of society is that in which everyone seeks to rob everyone else through the state, with each group claiming that its robberies benefit society? Who can believe what they are saying when they are so self-seeking and evidently endorse robbery? Why does robbery suddenly become socially justifiable when the government does it, but a cause for imprisonment if any one of us singly does it?
The CERN people rather overstate the certainty of the case for the Big Bang, but they also admit that they do not know what to expect as they attempt to recreate the conditions they believe existed some 14 billion years ago:
"The Universe started with a Big Bang – but we don't fully understand how or why it developed the way it did.
"The LHC lets us see how matter behaved a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Researchers have some ideas of what to expect – but also expect the unexpected!"
If the physicists can secure state funding and this is thought to be justifiable ethically, then why not anyone else who has any cause that they claim is socially beneficial? Why not any other science? Why not art history? I can make a strong case for the humanities. Why not replace free markets and exchanges with funding and financing done collectively through government? We will all vote for representatives. They will have the power to take x percent of our income and disburse it where they see fit after holding hearings in which these lawyers listen to all the beggars and after the beggars provide them with campaign contributions and offer them jobs after they retire or are voted out of office. What is the name of such a system? Fascist? Communist? Socialist? Democratic? Let's just say it is government-as-we-know-it and it's rotten to the core.6:26 am on February 20, 2014 Email Michael S.

Phl gov't: Enough electricity this summer
Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda raised the issue following the Supreme Court decision to further postpone the temporary restraining order (TRO) of Meralco's power rate hike for 60 more days last Tuesday.
Meralco warned of blackouts if the TRO will not be lifted, saying that it can no longer pay for generation and transmission charges.
"Well there is a case before the Supreme Court...all I can tell you is that Secretary (Carlos Jericho) Petilla and the DOE (Department of Energy) team will make sure that there will be electricity in the summer months," Lacierda said in a Palace briefing.
"Government will not allow the interruption of electricity," he added.
Malacanang also reiterated a statement by President Benigno S. Aquino III saying that Meralco and other industry players should have prepared for the power rate hike because it was foreseeable.

Two-time Drivers' Championship winner Mika Hakkinen believes his Finnish compatriot Kimi Raikkonen will upset Fernando Alonso at Ferrari this year.
Most pundits and former drivers have hinted that Alonso might be too quick for Raikkonen, with departed Ferrari driver Felipe Massa - who the Finn is replacing - suggesting that the Spaniard is the better driver because he "combines talent with brains".
Hakkinen, however, believes that his countryman - who was Ferrari's last Drivers' Champion in 2007 - is the perfect man to bring success back to the Maranello outfit.
"I think Kimi's driving style is really perfect for these turbo cars," Hakkinen told Spanish daily Marca.
"Alonso pushes too hard, so I think Kimi will beat him."

Improved video streaming for interactive gaming and other video services
VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed new methods with which video and audio transferred to the consumer remain good even if the data connection slows down or is temporarily disrupted. Thanks to these methods consumers will receive higher quality video services such as TV, video on demand and gaming services both at home and through mobile terminals. The system also promotes the international competitiveness and product packaging of new services for Finnish service providers and technology companies.
VTT has researched methods that recognise changes in broadband speed in different load situations in data communication networks, which helps adapt the transferred video feed to the network status in real time. Thus the consumer will receive the best video available to his/her terminal at all times. In addition, VTT has developed video transfer methods that enable several videos which have been optimised for different terminals and data transfer speeds to be replaced with one video that adapts to different terminals. This video can easily be adapted to changing conditions in data transfer and to suit different terminals.
Transferring video with the highest possible level of technological quality creates a basis for introducing new services based on video feeds. These include video on demand, video conferencing and web security camera applications. Consumers can use the video services with their phones, laptops, palm pilots and PCs or, for instance, with a TV that is linked to a broadband digital box.
New business is expected to be generated for video service providers, Internet service providers and, for instance, mobile operators with technologically high-quality video services offered for home and mobile environment use. Finnish companies that produce video services and video service technology are competing for internationally expanding markets and, for instance, a video game service based on the technology from the Finnish firm G-cluster is widely used in Japan.
Funding for this research and development project was provided by the National Technology Agency (Tekes), EU, VTT, G-cluster and Maxisat Oy.

Avocado Trees
THE ALL-IMPORTANT factor in growing avocados is good drainage. Build a wide basin for watering. Let fallen leaves build up to provide mulch. Most roots are in the top 2 ft. of soil, so water lightly and frequently enough to keep that layer moist but not wet. Fast drainage is important. Give heavy irrigation every third or fourth time to wash out any excess accumulated salts. This will minimize salt burn. Following is a list of some of the most popular avocados grown in Southern California:
FERTILIZE lightly with NURSERYMAN'S CITRUS AND FRUIT TREE FOOD four times per year, March-May-July-September. Control chlorosis with iron chelate.
ALTHOUGH avocados are hardy to 20-24 degrees, flowers form in winter and temperatures much below freezing destroy the crop.
AVOCADOS tend to bear crops in cycles producing a heavy crop one year and a light crop the next.
WHEN using in landscape, remember that most varieties will grow 30 ft. and spread wider (tree size can be controlled by pruning.) Tree should have protection from winds. It drops leaves quite heavily all year. Wide-spreading branches with heavy foliage make dense shade beneath -- good garden area for potted plants that need shade. St. Augustine grass will grow beneath avocado trees.
IMPORTANT: When young (first 2-3 yrs) the bark and leaves are very sensitive to sun. It's necessary to protect them. Use three 1' x 6' stakes with shade cloth between them.
For more information, refer to our "Prescription for Good Fruit Trees" information sheet.

Cardinals Crew is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 2 out of 5 by bouncingleaf from They're okay I almost didn't buy these due to the other review that mentions that the bands dig in to the point of making the socks almost unwearable. But hey, birds on socks. So I gave them a chance. I don't have the same issue with the pair I received, but I could tell when I put them on how someone might. The bands were definitely less stretchy than the rest of the sock. I'm also not so sure about the art. I thought from the picture that it might be a little hard to tell what those red things are on my socks. I'm not sure it is clearer in person. I could almost give them three stars, because I don't regret having bought them, and they will probably join in my regular pool of socks (I have no qualms about wearing "seasonal" socks at any time of year). If they had been pricey, I would have been annoyed, but they were the least expensive socks in my order, so there's that. But if 3 stars is "average", they're a little below.

Imagine just you and your friends 1350 metres up on a glacier with nothing but untracked powder snow and a steady 12 to 15 knot breeze for extra company. No ski lifts, restaurants filled with families queueing for miles for plates of pomme-frites and no groups of ski schools snaking their way around the slopes. Iceland is a truly magical place. If you're up for getting as far away as emotionally possible from the hordes on the Costa del Sol, then Iceland in summer will fit the bill on just about every level. Just two and a half hours flight time from the UK (and five hours from New York), Iceland offers an unparalleled combination of snow, wind and 24 hour sunlight during the summer months. So if you're after adventure, Iceland is the destination of choice from May through July. If for some reason the wind doesn't blow, or you're tired from earlier sessions, then there's much more on offer in Iceland. Simply driving across Iceland's back country is a real treat, taking in the incredible bleak expanses of the landscape in the north. Head south and you'll be greeted by surprisingly abundant lush greenery. Explore Thingviller, where the two continental plates meet (it's also the seat of Iceland's first parliament) or take an excursion to the huge waterfall of Gulfloss, taking in the hot geysers en-route. Then of course there's Reykjavik. A beautifully clean and welcoming city, filled with people who like to party like there's no tomorrow (and as it can remain light all the time you could argue that there actually is no tomorrow!).
The Langjökull Glacier is the second largest icecap in Iceland, offering nearly 950km2 of untouched powder as your personal playground. It makes for a more comfortable landing than you might expect on the snow, with the added benefit of not getting wet! After an initial steep ascent, the glacier leads to a shallow, sloping and undulating landscape that eventually reaches a distant summit at an altitude of 1382 metres. The journey offers stunning views of the barren volcanic landscape, and once at the top you'll see snow for as far as the eye can see, punctuated only by distant views of mountain tops and active volcanoes. Ideal for advanced and beginner snowkiters alike, the wind on the glacier is pretty constant, averaging between 12 and 20 knots (which is more than enough for snowkiting remember!). The glacier generates katabatic winds that flow downwards towards the lava fields below. The wind is often stronger at the summit, allowing riders to position themselves wherever they feel comfortable, using the lower slopes to get used to going uphill before braving it and making their way up for a real blast at the top. There are no obstacles in your way here, and the katabatic effect gives extraordinarily smooth winds. Previous experience of skiing or snowboarding is an advantage for snowkiting, but isn't absolutely necessary. If you're an average kitesurfer it will take you a matter of minutes to get the basics of snowkiting dialled. The strangest thing is getting your head round just how vast the riding opportunities are. Suddenly the mountains open up into a huge 3-D playground and everywhere is fair game. Nevermind your downwinders, snowkiting is always an adventure and discovery session.
Variable directions: 12 - 20 knots.
During the summer season, the glacier offers vast tracts of soft powder snow as far as you can see.
The main thing to remember with Iceland is that it is very expensive, from accommodation to food to drink. Having said that, Reykjavik is one of the most fun cities to spend time in. There is plenty of choice in standards of accommodation in the city and you'll find almost any food you fancy, even if it does push the bank overdraft up somewhat. However, you really can't come to Reykjavik and not party. All the kids in Reykjavik are heavily into their fashion, so look out for lots of skinny jeans and mop top hair dos, but they are always up for a beer or two. If you're not bothered about exploring the city, you could stay in a log cabin 90 minutes from Reykjavik but only a 20 to 40 minute drive from the glacier - which is really what this trip is all about.
- Steaming hot geysers.
Keflavik international airport (KEF) - regular Flybuses will transfer you to Reykjavik in 40 to 50 minutes.
Hire cars are available and aren't as expensive as you might expect from a place like Reykjavik.

written by William Crowder, Managing Director for DreamIt Access
The topic of diversity in tech continues to make national headlines. In nearly every instance the conversation is about the efforts underway in Silicon Valley. Even the region's most recognized accelerator, Y Combinator made USA Today headlines last week as its president announced the firm's push to recruit more diverse founders and said "I wish that all other venture funders thought about this the way we do…In the meantime, we have this incredible competitive advantage because no one else is doing this."
While that might be true in Silicon Valley, when one steps outside of that region they realize that the revelation is not new wisdom. I am amazed by the amount of attention and energy being expended at attempting to solve such a huge and historic problem on a relatively small scale. In other words, the rest of "us" lives in the rest of the U.S. Diversity in tech is not a geographic concern; rather it is a mindset that must be changed across the entire country if we expect to see any meaningful progress. Believe it or not, Silicon Valley is not the cure for what ails us. The Valley will ultimately be a part of the solution and I am glad to hear that it is finally realizing what many have been aware of for quite some time, that there is underrepresentation across the entire tech landscape and that should and must change.
I am a partner at a highly regarded global startup accelerator DreamIt Ventures, which has helped launch over 179 companies over the last 6 years. At DreamIt we have taken a proactive approach to addressing the diversity in tech issue. Specifically, in 2011 we started that work by creating a component within our accelerator cycles that would specifically recruit startups led by founders from underrepresented populations. In partnership with Comcast we intentionally set about the creation of a program and environment that was open and welcoming to new ideas, perspectives, and problems to solve. Since creating the DreamIt Access program, we have seen the diversity in each class increase and more importantly we have seen firsthand the power it has in the development of high quality startups and founders.

CEMEX And BirdLife Launch New Shared Vision For Nature Conservation
CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V., (NYSE: CX) in collaboration with BirdLife International developed a new inspiring publication that captures the company's approach to biodiversity conservation. The launch of this publication signals significant progress in the company's ten-year global conservation partnership with Birdlife International, the world's largest civil society partnership for nature. Supported by CEMEX's team in Switzerland, CEMEX and BirdLife have worked together since 2007 to increase the environmental sustainability of CEMEX's operations globally, minimize business risk whilst creating opportunities for BirdLife Partners to conserve important sites for biodiversity.
The CEMEX-BirdLife document was launched at a bespoke event at the BirdLife World Congress, which highlighted experiences from CEMEX-BirdLife global collaborations and was represented by conservationists and practitioners from 17 nationalities from across the BirdLife Partnership.
The publication was timely, since BirdLife just launched its State of the World's Birds report. This important new report highlights that, globally, one in eight species is threatened with extinction, providing evidence of a rapid deterioration in the global environment that is affecting all life on Earth. The report provides cautious hope for optimism, since it indicates that the current situation can be reversed, given the will and resources, such as the innovative approaches to wildlife conservation demonstrated by the CEMEX-BirdLife Partnership.
"CEMEX takes its responsibility as a steward for the environment very seriously. This is why the company took this opportunity to capture experiences - from helping conserve important wildlife sites to creating habitat for threatened species - gained from international conservation partnerships from Mexico to Malaysia and share them with the wider BirdLife partnership," said Luis Farias, CEMEX's Senior Vice President of Energy and Sustainability"Saving nature makes good business sense because it helps CEMEX to effectively plan ahead and, as this report shows, is needed now more than ever given the challenges faced by birds and the environment.

Disability Support Services
Disability Services are available to both enrolled and prospective TAFE NSW students who have a disability and have met the entry requirements for a course.
It is TAFE NSW policy that vocational education and training should be equally available to everyone.
TAFE NSW policy supports the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act (1993) Disability Standards for Education (2005) and the NSW Disability Services Act (1986). These Acts are based on general principles that people with disabilities have the same rights as other members of the Australian society.
TAFE Western employs specialist Teacher Consultants for Students with Disabilities to ensure that people with a disability have equal access to education and training at Western Institute campuses.
Teacher Consultants provide a range of services to assist students. These include pre-course counselling and assistance with the enrolment process, as well as determining the most appropriate classroom support and assessment modifications. Support services and adjustments are provided in close consultation with the student or their advocate.
A range of strategies can be employed and may involve tutorial support, the use of adaptive technology, a sign language interpreter, note-taker or disability assistant. These adjustments may also apply to students who have a temporary disability.
Teacher/Consultants are available at major campuses and provide support to students at all campuses of the TAFE Western.
You can also call TAFE Disability Programs on (02) 9217 3400 or TTY (Telephone Typewriter for people who are Deaf/hearing impaired) 1800 555 630. Contact can also be made via the National Relay Service (NRS) on 13 36 77, which is provided by the Australian Communication Exchange or speak & listen on 1300 555 727.

There is a good amount of Photoshop. She is older than the pictures would have you assume. I would say about 30-35 years old. Her body is also not tight or toned. Having said that, she is tall and slender and her face is pretty.
Oral sex is with a condom but she does anal so that is a plus. She charges $ 400 ars or at least did about a year and a half ago. She was in an apartment on Callao last time. Sex was pretty normal, nothing out of this world.
I would agree with GH, for that price you can get much better. But she isn't entirely bad.

Just thought I would add my two cents in on rather pleasant experiences in BA about a year ago. First one was with Tammi from Platynum and it wasn't bad. She's not as cute as her pictures but the service was good. The second was Angeles also from Platynum. ALMOST as cute as her pictures but the service was incredible. Very sweet personality too. She's another Paraguayan in BA.

Upcoming visit in BA
Hello Guys,
Would appreciate any help for my first trip in BA (second in South America) There seems to be lots of potential and I have done a lot of homework (Ex: same girls do have many names on so many sites! For an unknown reason, I seem to use the Platynum web site as a reference.
Considering I tend prefer taller young girl-next-door types who have a very cute face and natural looks (little make-up, real boobs medium size, no false nails. Who speak at least some english, I am considering meeting one or many of the girls listed below. Note that I prefer outcalls and high quality / long lasting BBBJ is a must for me. Most do not really list this kind of details. (although I am not sure what terms like "servicio complito", "executivo" or "nivel VIP" imply.
Here's my very short list from.
Mailen (good reviews, also Denisse on Baires)
Paris (no english but good review and my type, also pily on baires and camila on Gemidos)
Melani (my type)
Constanza (probably a bit too much but ready to try)
Astryd (even though she is probably older)
I am also considering karen, cele, belhen, caren, milagros from Baires; amaia from gemidos, agostina and iara from aclamadas and quite a few from Area-vip (which seems to do lots of touch-ups on photos)
Can anyone provide advice before I start. Experimenting?
Cheers and thanks.

Georgian Diamond Drop Earrings
Anyone familiar with auction houses or antique jewelry hunting knows that earrings are "the" prize. The most sought after and the most difficult to obtain, earrings did not seem to survive as well as other forms of jewelry. Loss, breakage and the passage of time all contributed to their scarcity. Georgian era diamond earrings are especially at a premium.
These glorious three part pendant earrings display forty-nine (49) diamonds foiled and set closed back in silver as was typical for the time. All gems are rose cut diamonds with the exception of the table cut stone on the bottom and all are set in pinched collets. The largest diamond is equivalent in footprint to a 20 point gemstone.
The overall configuration of the earring is undeniably sensual with the elongated and wide tear shaped drop and articulated movement. Scrolls and flourishes ornament the surface of the open silver metal work.
Measurements: 2-1/4 inches (5.5 cm) in length by 7/8 of an inch (2.2 cm) at the widest. Weight of 16.5 grams (10.4 dwt).
Condition: Excellent; variation in diamond color and shimmer due to age and foiling; later 15k gold ear wires.
Date: Circa 1790 - 1800.
Important: Foiled jewelry should not be exposed to water for any extended period of time nor soaked in water or any other liquid.

Conservative Party Candidate Separates Himself From Pack of Mayoral Also-rans
Why Quinnipiac is only including one third-party candidate in its polls.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Why Quinnipiac is only including one third-party candidate in its polls.
It's not sixteen BILLION points, so that's something.
Though we're not sure why this is happening now.
Don't you guys have, like, high taxes or something more important to consider?
And this is from a poll taken before the president told him not to run again.
A new poll holds both good and bad news for the comptroller.
Birthers, truthers, and religious nutcases abound.
And about 47 percent of New Yorkers are keeping an open mind.
Forty-seven percent of New Yorkers find his ads annoying? Let's watch one and figure out why!
Republican numbers are still worse!
We have a mayoral race on our hands!
But will this anger last until 2010?
But, of course, there are caveats. There are always caveats.
Take our poll and we'll turn it into a stats page for the next issue of 'New York Weddings.'
Quinnipiac measures a slim majority in support of marriage equality for the first time.
It doesn't help that they have no idea who Bill Thompson is.
If ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
When New Yorkers are actually able to name one of Paterson's accomplishments, they sometimes name the gay-marriage bill.
Thanks, Nate Silver!

We may be seeing more of that captivating Wii U game by Monolith Soft, creators of Xenoblade Chronicles, code-named "X" very soon. Kaori Tanaka, wife of Monolith Soft Director Tetsuya Takahashi and known by her pen name "Soraya Saga", has retweeted Nintendo's tweet reminding fans that the upcoming pre-E3 Nintendo Direct will air on Tuesday, June 11th.
The retweet is speculated to mean that X will appear in said broadcast. Seem a little far-fetched? Tanaka did the same thing back in January, retweeting Nintendo's reminder of the Wii U Nintendo Direct special. It was in this broadcast that we saw the first footage of the game.
I sincerely hope the game does make an appearance, and I'd be very surprised if it didn't regardless of Tanaka's retweet. Xenoblade was one of the greatest Wii RPGs ever, and perhaps among the greatest of the last generation. With this spiritual successor already so beautiful and maintaining similar gameplay aspects, it's shaping up to be one of the Wii U's most anticipated game.

It's Monday and my week of vacationing is over!
It's back to the swing of things and I'm already feeling behind.
We had a wonderful weekend filled with Easter blessings.
We began Sunday studying God's word and worshipping with our church family.
What a morning of celebration and praise. I'm so thankful for Jesus and all He has done for us.
Sunday afternoon we spent with my family, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, etc.
There were kids galore and that's just how I like it!
This year was special because this was Colt Allen's first Easter!!!
Oh my, do Cici and Pops love this little guy!
He makes everything more fun!
He doesn't quite get the whole hunting for Easter egg thing yet!
He loves to open that mouth wide!
What a day filled with Blessings!
How did you spend your Easter Sunday?

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Citigroup are moving ahead with plans to create a KKR fund to buy LBO loans from Citigroup with more loans from Citigroup. Despite the emergence of the Entity, we still consider this the best story ever.
KKR is providing $2 billion of equity funding through its Strategic Capital Fund, according to Financial News. Citigroup will underwrite $8 billion in debt financing. KKR will then use the leveraged fund to purchase LBO loans from Citigroup—and, perhaps from other banks with LBO loans that are currently being sold under-par—which will allow Citigroup to move the loans off its books without flooding the broader market with the loans.
Citi and KKR have quite a cozy relationship. The bank is one of the private equity firm's largest lenders. It reportedly had underwritten some $50 billion of loans that it was not able to syndicate. There are indications, however, that it may have since sold some of those loans by offering them to investors at 95 to 97 cents on the dollar.
Perhaps the most mind boggling aspect of this deal is that the LBO loans KKR is reportedly interested in buying are the loans Citigroup made to finance KKR acquisitions, including the buyout of First Data. Follow this closely: Citigroup is lending money to a KKR vehicle that will buy up loans Citigroup made to KKR owned companies.
The idea seems to be that investors might be more interested in buying loans made to the new KKR entity than those made to the KKR portfolio companies. But since the major assets of the new KKR company will be loans to those portfolio companies, it appears that all the new investors are buying is whatever security they get they get from that extra $2 billion in equity and, perhaps, some diversification value.
Questions are being raised—apparently by regulators and others—about how tough of a customer the KKR fund will be when it comes to negotiating prices for the loans it buys from Citigroup. How tough can you be when your buying assets with leverage provided by the seller? In short, some fear that the fund may end up paying a premium to the market price for the loans, artificially pumping up Citigroup's balance sheet.

Todd Thomson Will Return To Wall Street (When His Vacation Is Over)By Bess Levin
You remember Todd Thomson, the guy who got fired from Citigroup for either too loosely spending the company dime on Maria Bartiromo or because Chuck Prince needed a scapegoat to distract people from Citi's performance (are C shareholders as easily distracted by someone getting canned as Jim Cramer is by his reflection?)? Even though he's on his I'm-sorry-I-cheated-and-lost-my-job vacation with his family (a safari in South Africa), the old boy checked in with thestreet.com to say that he's got plans to work in private equity.
Interestingly enough, Thomson told the news site that he believes himself to have "a clean and good track record." Okay, sure. And getting funds shouldn't be too difficult, given TT's "business contacts and high-net-worth relationships."

Is Rubin Up For Citigroup's Top Slot?By John Carney
Eddie Lampert may be betting that former US Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin is poised to take over as chief of Citigroup, according to a former colleague of both Lampert and Rubin. Earlier this week, Lampert's ESL Investments disclosed that it had accumulated a 0.3% stake in Citi, setting off speculation about Lampert's intentions. Speculation ranged from notion that Lampert might view Citigroup as cheap relative to it's banking peers—this came from an unnamed banker who happens to work at Citigroup—to the idea that he might be poised to take an "activist investor" stance and agitate for change. Shares of Citigroup role 4% following the disclosure of ESL's position.
"Lampert is tight with Rubin. He loves the man. Idolizes him. He may think that Rubin's about to become a lot more involved at Citigroup, maybe even to take over for Prince," the source said, referring to Citigroup chief executive Chuck Prince.
Rubin rose to Wall Street at Goldman Sachs before being appointed to the Treasury position by Bill Clinton. He is now the chairman of Citigroup's executive committee. Early in his career Lampert worked under Rubin when he was an arbitrage trader at Goldman Sachs. This morning's Wall Street Journal described Rubin as one of Lampert's "leading role models."
Yesterday CNBC's Charlie Gasparino said that there was pressure for Rubin to take a more active role in the management of Citigroup. His position at the head of the executive committee brings him a hefty paycheck—reportedly $17 million—but some have said he doesn't exercise much responsibility for the management of the bank. At least one banker employed at an investment bank described Rubin as "a relationship guy" whose job mainly involved using the connections he has made during his long career in finance and government to win business for the bank.
Prince's tenure at the top of Citigroup has not been a happy one. The bank has been under-pressure from investors to change its management and some have even suggested that it spin off some of its constituent businesses. Prince is widely seen as unwilling to fundamentally change the structure of Citigroup.

Pre-emptive ResignationsBy Bess Levin
"Were you sacked, or did you quit?"
"I'm not sure, actually."
– Lord of the Admiralty to his aide.
In the last 18 months, almost half of Citigroup's senior management for consumer operations (and we use the term loosely) has jumped ship. The latest tri-fecta being Faith Massingale, head of Citi's international cards operation, Ashok Vaswani, head of Asia Pacific, and Joyce Phillips, head of international retail banking. Massingale and Philllips brought in $16 billion in revenue last year. While it's not news to anyone that Chuck Prince, aside from being named for a popular brand of pasta, has been blamed for the loss of top executives, over management style, coyly termed "differences of opinions concerning company perks", the Financial Times notes that departures "lower down the chain are more worrying." One anonymous soul commented that he doubts "whether many investors or even some more board members realize the extent of the losses." If that doesn't get Prince's attention, perhaps the fact that several of the departees have joined noted arch-rival Jamie Dimon, at JPMorgan Chase will put some sauce on.

Let's Get It, and Several Other Things, DoneBy Keith Hahn
Maybe there's a reason Citi is putting its umbrellas away. Citi announced that it will spend $50bn over the next 10 years on "investments, financings and related activities designed to address global climate change." Citi claims the sum includes $10bn Citi has already invested in such endeavors. Unfortunately the "Let's get it done" path to profitability closely mirrors the strategy employed by the underpants gnomes in South Park (Step 1- invest in green tech, Step 2 – [conspicuous silence], Step 3 – profit!), unless "addressing global climate change" involves throwing around all that Saudi money in a way that doesn't directly choke baby seals.
In other Citi news, the first "Let's get
'er it done" spots started running last night (watch here). Seattle-based Publicis West devised the first ad, which unlike Citi's identity theft campaign, overflows with optimism, violently climaxing in the image of a boy in a raincoat letting go of his mothers hand and venturing off into the unknown, of a $20k a year gated pre-head start program. The ad is just a few 300mph tennis serves away from "impossible is nothing" style ridiculousness. A transcript of the narration in the commercial:
Who first believed in you? [my sponsor]
Listened to your dreams? [my shrink]
Got you on your way? [greenies]
We all need a partner [for tax reasons]
And Citi has the people and expertise to make it all possible [17,000 less of them]
So buy that house [who doesn't need more debt?]
Merge that company [we'll even throw in a "buy" rating]
Ask out Sally Krawcheck [seriously, Sally is crazy horny]
Start that business [No really, a social networking site for ferret owners is a great idea, here's your loan]
Send her to college [Send him to boarding school]
Steal that cable [they keep jacking up the monthly dvr/hd/on-demand rates!]
Build a fortune [1.5% per annum on that $832 from your bar mitzvah]
Take your business global [it's not an office party, it's an office "fiesta"]
Plan for the future [Citi is investing another $10bn in flux capacitors]
We all need a partner [redundant, in case you're Mormon]
A partner that helps turns dreams into realities [or a cursed monkey's paw]
Citi – Let's get it done [sounds good, but the guy on the other side of the octagon looks angry]
The money shot is when the Citi arch appears, starting with the word "dreams" and ending with the word "realities."

BP Chief ResignsBy Bess Levin
BP chief Lord Browne has resigned from his post, to be replaced immediately by Dr. Tony Hayward, amidst accusations that he used company money to support (and woo) his partner of four years, Jeff Chevalier. The allegations against Browne include:
• BP resources were diverted for Mr. Chevalier's use, and he was given computers and technical support staff while a company was set up for him involving BP personnel (Lord Browne is said to have helped set up a company for him to trade in mobile phone ring-tones, with Lord Browne and another executive from BP as directors.)
• A senior member of BP staff was tasked with running personal errands for Lord Browne, including delivering cash to his former lover.
• The BP chief paid for Mr. Chevalier's studies, as well as a large sum over their four years together.
• Browne discussed EU policy and Chinese textile quotas with Peter Mandelson, the EU commissioner, and Mandelson's Brazilian boyfriend Reinaldo.
• A flat in Venice bought by Lord Browne underwent repairs for which the building company presented two bills, one with VAT and one without. Mr. Chevalier claimed Lord Browne paid cash to "dodge" his tax bill.
The couple split in 2006 and as went Browne so (purportedly) went Chevalier's new lifestyle, which would explain how this story got into all of London's major newspapers (and now: Dealbreaker.com). Browne commented that "In my 41 years with BP I have kept my private life separate from my business life. I have always regarded my sexuality as a personal matter, to be kept private. It is a matter of deep disappointment that a newspaper group has now decided that allegations about my personal life should be made public."
Some thoughts:
– It's difficult to actually keep one's private life separate from one's business life when one's business life is paying for one's private life (say that five times fast).
– This may actually just be a case of the age-old American mix-up: Gay or Brit? And Chevalier is just a (well-compensated) business associate.
– Todd Thomson can't win at anything.
– If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times: if you pay for it yourself, you're in the clear! (Source: Everyday Business, with Wayne Pace).

Jim Cramer Wants You To Lay Off Lloyd Blankfein, John Mack and Stanley O'Neal (But Keep Mocking Chuck Prince Because That Guy's Had It Coming And, Also, He Just Doesn't Like The Look Of Chuck's Face)By Bess Levin
Jim Cramer doesn't want you to hate the game, or the playa. And in his column in the latest issue of New York, the "game" refers to making money; the "playas," I-bankers (and I-bank CEOs, and, more generally, I-banks). Sure, you might be saying, why shouldn't I hate the $54 million/year Lloyd Blankfeins and the Goldman Saches of the world? Not only are they terribly unhygienic, but they make more in an hour than I do in a month (or is that just us at DB? Don't answer that) and I'm a jealous, small and petty person (to say nothing of my unresolved issues from childhood, which probably feed into the pettiness in a vicious, never-ending circle).
You're saying that, right? Well Big J has the answer. If you invest said "playas," you'll get to be part of their "game" and your resentment will disappear because when you're rich, you can buy the antidote to resentment. Another reason you shouldn't hate these "playas" is because Cramer used to work for Goldman Sachs and never fails to mention this (or his relationship with Spitzer, which, let's be honest, you really can't blame him for, because Goldman Sachs is an incredible institution and Spitzer is essentially God's special gift to the world and politics at large). Here are some other arguments for why you should cross Lloyd, Dick and Stanley off of your To Kill lists (hint: they all have to do with their outifts making you money, and Chuck Prince having less financial acumen than Cramer's garbage disposal):
1. These guys are basically stay-at-home moms: underpaid and, more importantly, unappreciated.
Stop envying Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein already. Don't begrudge Bear Stearns' Jimmy Cayne and Lehman's Dick Fuld their millions. Let Merrill's Stan O'Neal and Morgan Stanley's John Mack get paid more than Croesus. You heard it here first: They deserve it. In fact, they deserve more than they earn now.
Those five men are underpaid because they are about to make you very rich if you buy their stocks.
2. They will make you Kings of Great Neck, Dukes of Roslyn with Asset Management alone. And, not to brag or anything, but if you must know, Cramer predicted Asset Management would be a major money-maker YEARS AGO, before assets were even invented. Of course, no one at 85 Broad listened to him, just like they didn't about gravity or 9/11.

you seen the acronym RPM used lately
in health care? If not, you will soon. Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a
form of ambulatory or mobile health that fits under the umbrella of telehealth.
RPM allows patients to use mobile devices to send information or data to a
health care professional in real time.
forms of RPM technology include devices such as glucose meters for patients
with diabetes and heart or blood pressure monitors for cardiac patients.
Overweight patients may use devices to measure activity levels and respiration.
It is possible to send the data collected by these devices to a personal health
record (PHR) or directly to an electronic health record (EHR). These devices
may sync to computer programs, smartphones, and tablets using Bluetooth® or
other wireless technology.
data from these devices are collected in a database in the PHR/EHR, where
health care providers can review real-time objective information. Frail elderly
and chronically ill patients who need closer monitoring currently use RPM. RPM monitoring
provides a way to rapidly intervene if conditions change.
is a cost-effective way to care for high-risk patients. In a recent report by
Juniper Research, it was estimated that RPM will save the world's health care
systems up to $36 billion by 2018. GBI Research predicts an estimated market of
$296.5 million in the United States alone by 2019. Last year, Juniper predicted
that 3 million patients will use remote monitoring over cellular networks by

Health officials in North Carolina are investigating 19 cases of measles in Stokes, Orange, and Polk counties as part of an outbreak that was first reported in mid-April. Most of the cases involve people who live in or have visited the Prabhupada Village in Stokes County. "Most of the persons who became infected with measles were individuals both inside and outside this community who were not vaccinated," said Scott Lenhart, Stokes County health director. "This is an important reminder that anyone who has not been protected by immunization is highly susceptible to measles." The state Department of Health and Human Services is encouraging vaccination for all individuals 12 months of age and older. Public health officials recommend immunization within 72 hours of exposure for the unvaccinated.
