Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Financial Officer David A. Viniar said the increase in the cost to insure against a default by his company isn't wrong. It's just "confusing."
"I don't believe markets are wrong," Viniar said in response to an analyst's question during a conference call yesterday after the company reported a quarterly loss. "I think it's confusing."
Goldman Sachs executives including Viniar, 56, and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein, 57, have supported so-called mark-to-market accounting, arguing that risk-management depends on valuing assets according to market prices. In an April 2009 speech to the Council of Institutional Investors, Blankfein said New York-based Goldman Sachs "wouldn't know how to assess or manage risk if market prices were not reflected on our books."
Viniar said yesterday that Goldman Sachs executives have been "confused and disappointed" by the rising prices on the firm's own credit-default swaps, which investors use to hedge against losses on the company's debt or to speculate on its creditworthiness.
"Given how strong our capital is, our liquidity is, the maturity of our funding, the balance sheet, we kind of scratch our heads a little bit," Viniar said. "But it really hasn't affected anything other than our emotions. We don't like seeing it but it hasn't had a big effect."
Yield Increase
The cost of insuring against a default of Goldman Sachs's debt for five years climbed to 354 basis points, or $354,000 for every $10 million of debt insured, at 3:31 p.m. yesterday, from 207 basis points on Sept. 1, according to prices provided by London-based CMA. The cost rose above 430 basis points earlier this month. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.
The rise in the cost of CDS has been accompanied by an increase in the yield on the company's corporate debt, Viniar said, adding that swings in the so-called cash market haven't been as large.
The extra yield over Treasuries that investors demand to hold Goldman Sachs's $3.85 billion of 3.625 percent bonds due in February 2016 has climbed to 355 basis points from 268 basis points on Sept. 1, according to Trace, the bond price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The increase in debt yields and CDS prices have "had minimal impact on our business, so far," Viniar said.
The company booked $450 million of revenue in the third quarter from so-called debt-valuation adjustments, Viniar said. DVAs stem from a U.S. accounting rule that requires banks to record gains when the value of their own debt has declined on the theory that they could profit by buying it at a discount.
Goldman Sachs has about $5 billion of "plain vanilla" debt maturing by year-end, Viniar said.
Given the rise in the company's spreads, "we'll decide as the quarter goes on whether we want to replace it or we want to wait for a better time," he said.

Bradley Manning Not Guity of Aiding Enemy, Guilty on 19 Other Counts
Updated from 12:02 EDT with the judge's verdict and sentencing information.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- A military court Tuesday found 25-year-old Pfc. Bradley Manning not guilty of the government's most serious charge against him, that of aiding the enemy, but was found guilty of most other charges, including five counts of espionage.
The verdict, announced shortly after 1 p.m. EDT, came after the conclusion Friday of his military court martial in Fort Meade, Md., where he is being held. The charge of aiding the enemy was the most serious of the 21 counts the government filed against Manning related to the disclosure of classified information and carried a possible sentence of life in military custody with no chance of parole.
Media experts had cast the trial as having powerful ramifications for investigative journalism, particularly if Manning was convicted of the charge of aiding the enemy. Journalists have said a conviction would silence potential sources, crippling efforts to discover and publish information related to government activities.Even without a conviction on that count, Manning could easily wind up spending the rest of his days as prisoner. According to wire sources, the convictions he has received could lead to a combined sentence of 130 years. Sentencing in the case is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday. Manning had pleaded guilty to 10 of the lesser charges that could carry a sentence of up to 20 years, but has pleaded not guilty to aiding the enemy and other more serious offenses. Manning's defense team opted for a military judge rather than a trial by jury. Both that choice and the guilty pleas, which were not part of a plea bargain, are considered risky maneuvers. Manning shared hundreds of thousands of pages of classified documents and videos with the Web site WikiLeaks. The most notorious disclosure was a video, available on YouTube, showing a helicopter firing on a group of people, including children. The attacks killed a dozen people including a Reuters TV news cameraman, according to a CNN account. Julian Assange, the controversial founder of WikiLeaks, told the Christian Science Monitor that Manning's disclosure of documents was "without a doubt the most influential leak in history." During his trial, Manning claimed he was "depressed by the situation" in Iraq while stationed there and disturbed by information in the documents he read and released, but did not feel release of the material would harm the United States, according to a report on CNN. "I believed if the public was aware of the data, it would start a public debate of the wars," he is reported to have said during his court-martial.

When a monitor just isn't big enough, try Microsoft's SurroundWeb
Many office workers have found that working with more than one monitor makes them more productive. Microsofts SurroundWeb research prototype takes that to an extremea whole room.
In a recently published research paper, Microsoft Research suggests that one or multiple projectors could beam maps, videos, games, or other images onto the various flat surfaces in a room. The software could also detect actual screenssuch as TVs or phonesthat could be used to interact with the content. If this sounds familiar, it is: Microsoft unveiled a similar Illumiroom concept last year.

"My mom always canned, and she taught us to take care of ourselves. She taught us everything from canning and sewing, and dad taught us everything we needed to know about farming."
"As of right now we deal with some weird stages of adulthood that is, having what we achieved (which is definitely not what we wished for) and dream with what we want. All we can do is play the game carefully, enjoy what could be considered wrong (acting upon those dreams) and hope you don't get caught (so that it doesn't fuck up what you already have)."

E: My best performance was at the Grammys. Literally two minutes before walking onstage, I had gum on my shoe, I bumped my head, and this lady was talking at me incessantly, like, Oh, you have gum on your shoe! Oh, you hit your head! Like giving me a play-by-play of everything that was going wrong as it was going wrong. Clive Davis was sitting to my left, and it was just a moment of pure, sheer terror. And then I get up and I was like, Well, shit can't go wrong now because I think it all went wrong like two minutes [ago]. I think it was one of my most perfect performances.
ELLE: You've written several songs about relationships gone wrong and admitted it's all from your own life. Care to comment?
E: Mostly it's from the succession of crazy men I dated, four different crazy guys in a rowspecial beingsin the space of four years. I was just like, Come on! Something's gotta give! And then I started to think, like, is it me? You know, you fall into a pattern and you kind of have to break out of it and stop going for the guy who's needy, stop going for the guy who needs bringing up, stop going for the guy who's brokebecause that's the kind of man who's been around your life the whole time. It was [about] breaking that pattern and seeing where I was going wrong and why I was picking these guys.
ELLE: So would you say you're jaded about love?
E: No, I'm the eternal optimist. There are some great men out there. I think I've met one!

Vampires, virgins, and porn are an obvious trifecta, so it should come as no surprise that a major adult film company, Devil's Film, is putting out a "Twilight" porn spoof. Mega popular porn star Jenna Haze stars in this hardcore send-up of the emo vampire movie, out Oct. 15 (beating "New Moon"'s arrival in theaters!). Getting Haze to star in your porn is like getting, oh, Kate Winslet to do your little movie because it gives it instant credibility. As for the plot? No word yet, but something tells me Edward probably shares his blushing Bella with the super horny Cullen clan. [Examiner, Film Drunk]

Open letter to Glenn Beck; Welcome to the rEVOLutionSubmitted by No.7 on Sat, 02/23/2013 - 12:34
I welcome you to the rEVOLution, others can speak for themselves. I am optimistic and excited to see an established political analyst pursuing the cause of liberty. Others are still angry over some of the names you've called Libertarians over the years.
I hope that truth is what you seek, if so, you are in a position to do big things. This movement is a giant movement that wants the truth, and the truth ain't pretty. Marxism is inside our borders under a new progressive label. They merge Government and economy, redistribute wealth, and discredit the opposition... this is real Glenn.
The truth is we need you Glenn, just as bad as you need us. United we stand, divided we fall. I see you're writing a book about Agenda 21, that's GOOD! We need more stuff like that. 9/11, JFK, RFK, Chem Trails, Military Industrial Complex... you get the idea. Conspiracy is real and the implications are enormous when you tie it all together.
I welcome you to the movement and I would like see you here on the DP. I appreciate your courage to apologize to the movement and I for one accept your apology. I hope and pray that you will use your new beliefs to do what journalists used to do which is find the truth. Expose the criminals in Government, blow the whistles, and help spread the wonderful message of Liberty.
Keep encouraging those around you and don't let criticism knock you down. Any fool can criticize and most fools do, that's okay. It is their right to criticize and you'd do well to listen.
I'm glad you've seen the light GB, and I'm proud of you.
God Bless You
P.S. If you have something you'd like to say to Glenn Beck you can contact him here. http://www.glennbeck.com/content/program/contact/

No one's stopping Glenn Beck from being a Libertarian
It's just that we can't have this inconsistent buffoon pretending he's some sort of leader that speaks for the movement. He can't get beyond his own ego.
IF this is he first
kind of entrance into the liberty movement i guess only time will tell now.
James Madison
reminds me of the laughable Sean Hannity intro
On his radio show...."thiiiiiis is the sean hannity shoooow, Welcome, to the Revolution" followed by some flag waving country song "we'll put a boot in your assss its the Murican waaay"
Welcoming Beck to the revolution is equally as laughable. I cant wait until he stabs us in the back, yet again so that people may wake up and realize he works for the same people that Hannity works foe
"I am Troll fighter, number one"
Didn't Beck apologize, then
Didn't Beck apologize, then call us fascists?
Support Rand, Amash & other liberty candidates? Check out: http://www.LibertyConservatives.com/
Then went on a ten minute rant about how wonderful Rand is, but how awful Ron Paul supporters are. I cannot believe anyone is falling for this.
They are trying to cut Ron Paul supporters from the liberty movement. They will compromise on "a little war."
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.
Prepare yourself.
For getting knifed in the gut during a clutch moment in the 2016 cycle.
I do not appreciate your pollyanaism influencing newbies who haven't experienced the last two knifings from Beck. You are misleading them.
He's literally just doing EXACTLY what he said in 2009.
Perhaps you weren't around then?
Dont be so naive. Once a
Dont be so naive. Once a charlatan, always a charlatan.
Not so
I once supported the wars in the middle east, I didn't really have a good reason though. My reasoning was something like "cause 9/11, that's why".
Charlie Daniels made a song after 9/11 called "This Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag (and we don't wear it on our head)" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReefB4Vd8uE
Now Charlie is singing about the NWO and narrating documentaries like "Behold A Pale Horse". He even sings about the NWO now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkw24J1GU7A
It is possible that Glenn Beck has opened his eyes or gained courage to speak the truth. It's also possible he is mooching or trying to alter the message. Either way I'm happy to see the words Libertarian and Agenda 21 in the MSM.
The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his Government, deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and friend to her foe. - Andrew Jackson
You don't understand the meaning of Charlatan apparently
Because you were duped doesn't make you a charlatan. A charlatan is someone who intentionally misleads people and is a fraud.
So your support of the wars in the ME because you were misled is not the same as misleading people through a national platform to an audience of millions for the purpose of being a fear-monger, alarmist, MSM shill.
Glenn Beck is nuttier than a squirrel turd and lies for a living.
He doesn't need an invitation because people can see through his fraud. Nobody before him needed an invitation and only someone who is trying to commit more fraud would cry and complain about not having access.
The old myth about vampires is probably steeped in a common sense truth;
vampires can't enter your home to kill you unless you invite them in.

Do you know what the "Con" in Conman stands for?
This is precisely how the scam works. Earn their confidence with the truth so you can steer them astray when it matters (at election time). Sadly, even well-meaning folks here at the DP fall for it and start salivating anytime the likes of Hannity, Rush, Levin say something truthful.
Truth is great. But learn to recognize when it's being used to manipulate you.
Beck is a textbook Conman.
Live and learn.
You can try to teach and explain to them, but unless they have lived it long enough, they can never realize it.
But I will say this: the young generation is steps ahead of where I was at that age. They are intelligent, and energetic. They are the future, and I have high hopes :-)

You seem to be trying to
You seem to be trying to convert Glenn into some sort of truther. If you can do that, it might have one advantage. It may go a long way to discrediting truther idiocy.
He's writing a book on Agenda 21
I think he might have swallowed a red pill.
The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his Government, deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and friend to her foe. - Andrew Jackson
Old.No7.JD, hear me out for a min?
Glenn Beck did not write Agenda 21. Harriet Parke wrote Agenda 21 and Glenn Beck liked her words enough to buy them and put his name on them.
Now, the words are important no matter what. And in the interview with Harriet Parke it sounds like the deal was fair and everything is good between the 2 of them so I am not even claiming he "stole" the words from her and as I stated the words are still important.
What this makes me wonder and what a lot of Becks words make me wonder is... how do you know when he is being genuine or when he is just cashing in on something?
I liked your comment somewhere around here about Upton Sinclair. I did part of my masters thesis on a guy named Theodore Dreiser who wrote similar stories as Upton Sinclair.
But Glenn Beck is no Upton Sinclair, he simply found a story from someone else, he liked it, he bought it and put his name on it. Again, I am not arguing that the words don't matter because I think literary dystopias are extremely important. For any ounce of not being woken up by my father that was left in me, literary dystopias woke me up. Atlas Shrugged slapped me in the face in 8th grade. I used to read the giver over and over and all it ever gave me was nightmares. Glenn Beck wanted a masterpiece dystopia, he wanted to be included in the literary classics cannon, and instead of working his way in he bought his way in.
Anyways, what I am getting at is how do you know what is real with him and what is him simply cashing in on another persons words or ideas?
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
― Dr. Seuss
Even so, it's still a good thing in my opinion
Glenn Beck isn't Upton Sinclair now, but he could be. GB has over 2 million likes on Facebook. Glenn Beck has an established following and could wake up a massive amount of people. If anything, Glenn Beck should be encouraged by us to tell the truth instead of ridiculed.
From my way of thinking it seems like nothing in the MSM will never be trusted by certain people here. It's like trying to criticize the NRA to people who worship Charlton Heston. It's like criticizing Bear Bryant in rural Alabama... Bear Bryant is God in Alabama and he could do no wrong you see. It looks almost like conservatives condemning Obama for war in the middle east, even if it's something they like they will say it's bad just because Obama did it. Glenn Beck, Rand Paul, Judge Nap, Stossel, Ben Swann, and everyone else who's brought Libertarian principles and philosophies into mainstream media is attacked here.
I think many people here would have nothing bud bad things to say if Ron Paul himself got a show on Fox or CNN.
The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his Government, deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and friend to her foe. - Andrew Jackson
As always, fair enough
But how do you know when he is being genuine or when he is just cashing in on something?
Or, are you saying it does not matter if he is just cashing in as long as he is talking? As I type this, I am thinking that is probably what you were getting at am I right?
Oh, and if he could be Upton Sinclair he would have written the book himself.
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
― Dr. Seuss
Pretty much, I'm trying to be optimistic
I want to see the good in Glenn Beck, and encourage him to to good things. If he is just mooching off the market for liberty then I take that as an encouraging sign we are winning. Either way I'm happy Glenn Beck is exposing his neocon followers to Agenda 21 and the liberty movement. Most people don't blindly follow too many TV pundits, but they do research an intriguing idea when they see it. I think Glenn Beck is waking people up, even if he's just cashing in on an expanding market. What does it matter if the ends justify the means?
The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his Government, deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and friend to her foe. - Andrew Jackson
What does it matter?
It matters a lot.
This is what I see as a problem with the Becks of this world. He starts out by proclaiming he is a libertarian. He convinces his audience they are libertarians... yay more votes for us! Then he justifies the wars and taxes he likes and he simply puts the word libertarian in front of them and his audience justifies it also because let's face it... people blindly follow the Becks and Limbaughs of this world.
Then we have people proclaiming that wars and taxes are great because the word libertarian is there. Eventually the true meaning gets muddied up and lost to the abstract meaning created by Beck and Limbaugh.
That's why it matters to me.
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
― Dr. Seuss
GB said we should bring all the troops home recently
So is it wrong to bring the troops home because GB said so now? As Kevin Cosner said in JFK "I've always wondered why every time a prostitute was in the courtroom she had to have bad eyesight".
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. He is probably just cashing in on whet he sees as a hot market. I doubt he has anything diabolical in mind and as long as he's talking to libertarians he might learn something along the way. We all have our roles in the rEVOLution. Why can't we show GB some love and encourage him to spread the message, kindly reminding him when he's putting out the wrong message instead of ridiculing him.
I find it pathetic and saddening that I see more criticism of fellow libertarians on here than criticism of Government criminals like the Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, Boehners.... the list goes on forever.
Why not fry the fish declaring war on us instead of the fish trying to help us?
The individual who refuses to defend his rights when called by his Government, deserves to be a slave, and must be punished as an enemy of his country and friend to her foe. - Andrew Jackson
Of course that is not what I meant
Yes we should bring the troops home.
What we should not ever do is let someone like Beck/Limbaugh/Hannity.... distort the meaning of the word to fit their views.
We all have our roles. Correct. I can't find it my role to promote him. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but there are some people I just do not trust.
I think we don't bash on the Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, and Boehners as much because it would be kind of like preaching to the choir, yes?
"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
― Dr. Seuss
Yes, and I know that's not what you meant.
I still think the socialist lot and the warmongering lot could afford a lot more hate than Glenn Beck is seeing right now.

"Then we have people proclaiming that wars and taxes are great because the word libertarian is there. Eventually the true meaning gets muddied up and lost to the abstract meaning created by Beck and Limbaugh."
I will NEVER give relevance to the likes of him. I keep explaining that hidden agendas, chess moves, trying at any cost to get a single man elected will never turn this nation about. It is honesty and truth that must be spread in order to change the dynamics of this nation. People have no core anymore. It is 'follow the leader [gb, matthews, and others] because intentions seem good', that get us into the trouble that we are in.
"What if the American people learn the truth" - Ron Paul
You seem to revel in ignorance
It may go a long way to allowing the powers that pull off such events greater control of everyone. Well done.
If you are right, Ron Paul,
If you are right, Ron Paul, who properly rejects the "inside job" theory as nonsense is "ignorant." You must be on the wrong site.
Its convenient to claim Raul Paul's answer to a moronic question(generally an ambush question during a Fox News debate) in which he said he doesn't believe the "US Government was complicit in 911". This obviously doesnt fully captures his feelings about what took place on 911. And your using it to pretend you know what he really thinks is weak at best. At worst its dangerous and intellectually lazy.
You dont have look too hard to find out that he supports a new investigation because "the investigation was inept which is what government does when it investigates"...with a follow up condemning those who support the official story because they may find (via a new investigation) "that the wars were fought for no good reason"
SO not only does the Original Poster not use the term "inside job" nor does Ron Paul in any way call people nor the idea of questioning the 911 investigation "nonsense" but you continue to miss the point.
There is a reason that a large percentage of people here believe it was not 19 people with boxcutters and they are joined by: Heads of State, Heads of Intelligence, Leaders of Judicial Systems, Architects, Engineers, Pilots, Military Veterans, Intelligence Veterans, Legal Professionals, and Scientists who have collectively all pointed to corrupt mechanations in the false reasoning of the 911 commission report (a known pack of lies and deciet).
Stay true to your beliefs...but have some substance to them. Stop trying to spin the words of Ron Paul to defend your ridiculous assertions of knowing truth of something you are obviously ignorant of let alone what he beleives based on his ability to comment publicly.
"Conspiracy Theory" is a pejorative by way of the CIA in the 60s to prevent JFK research. All you do with trite retorts of this kind is perpetuate the most evil elements of the state. And pretending it serves liberty is an absolute joke and a dangerous one at that.
Nobody, and I mean, nobody is
Nobody, and I mean, nobody is more likely to "spin" or ignore Ron's plain words rejecting the inside job theory than a truther.
When truthers are reminded of the cold-hard fact that Paul rejects their "inside job theory" (after calling people who question that theory "ignorant") they try to turn into an "investigation" issue. I have yet to hear of of anti-truther libertarian who is against an investigation of 9-11....so that argument to say the least is a diversion and red herring. Supporting an investigation has NO necessary relationship to a belief in inside job nonsense.
I also don't mind "JFK research" (I've read all the theories) but that doesn't mean I am about turn a warmongering murderer like JFK into some sort of hero, as many conspiratorialists do.
Ron Paul suports a new investigation into 9-11.
From the horse's mouth. Now stop being the other end of the horse.
Love or fear? Choose again with every breath.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was amazed how beautifully our Save the dates turned out! Using the comments at the end, we were able to point out things we wanted to add or change about the proof to customize it. All of the changes were made in a timely fashion and it was delivered very quickly. These were well worth the price and make a great keepsake! My only complaint was that sometimes I did not receive an email letting me know that the changes I had requested were made and required approval, so it took a little longer than I had planned to finalize the postcards. Overall, a great experience and I will not hesitate to use Wedding Paper Divas for my invitations and thank you cards."
"My native language is not English so I wanted to translate the months into Danish and all i had to do is send a request and the day after they've already changed it. The design is easy and fast to personalize and the Price was great! My fiancé is studying to be a homepainter and I am with low income but still we wanted quality save the dates, invitations etc. I am very happy that i found WPD :-)"
"I wanted to send out Christmas card save the dates and this was the perfect format! A sweet Christmas message and the red design color were the perfect combination! I also had several issues while ordering them and I was always able to speak with someone who could sort out the problem in less than 10 minutes! Simple, easy and beautiful!"
"As a bride on a budget, my save-the-dates needed to be postcards. I was nervous about finding a quality post card that would stay nice through the mail, but I was so impressed when I received my order. The clairify and color of the pictures were vibrant and clear and the thickness of the paper was sturdy. I was so impressed!"
"I really like the save the date and have received many complements from guest about them. i would like to see a spot to be able to put the words "flip over" or even an arrow or maybe a space to put "see details on back", a lot of my guests were saying they didn't realize all the information to book hotel rooms were on the back like i figured they would. overall quality was very nice, the pictures turned out great! i also think its a great option that someone checks it all over and make sure the picture quality layout and and that there are no misspellings before you actually send them out to people and then not like them. your company is great to work with and i received my product in just a few days.! Thank you for a great save the date, i look forward to ordering more items from you in the future. I have already referred other friends to you site and they too have ordered and loved them. sincerely, Amanda Carpenter"

Canadian National Railway's CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
In terms of earnings, and I'm looking at it here on an adjusted basis, we delivered $1.18, which is up 31% over last year. I'd be remiss if I didn't focus on the weather, obviously, the fact that we had one extra day also helped. There's perhaps 1/3 of that EPS growth on a year-over-year basis, which is due to those factors. But nevertheless, solid, solid first quarter result and Luc will give you all the details, including some of our monetization and how we are able to use and then deliver very strong free cash flow.
So solid results overall, I'll ask the team to give you the details and I'll wrap up at the end. Keith, over to you.
Keith E. Creel
Okay. Thanks for the comments, Claude. Let me say that while definitely a milder winter in 2011, 2012 first quarter was not without its operational challenges. But regardless, the tenacity and the execution of this operating team produced some pretty solid results.Let's start with a view of the operating metrics that we report quarterly. We always provide a good overview of our productivity and the fluidity of our operation. As you can see on the charts, we produced improvements across the board on all operating metrics. Due to a traffic mix change, our trainload was only up 1%. However, train length was up about 3% year-over-year. So regardless of the mix change, we continue to increase efficiency of our trains. Of the other metrics, as you see here at least by -- up at least 3% relative to last year, which has allowed us to absorb our growth at a lower incremental cost. All a very solid performance of a talented and dedicated railroaders we have from this team. Let's stay in the interest of providing a bit more relative first quarter comparison to proxy, let's compare our performance. In the first quarter of 2010, which is a winter similar to this year, we also showed improvements in all of our metrics. As you see, the only exception to this metrics are in train speed and locomotive productivity. These are 2 metrics which we have impacted consciously for their efforts to focus squarely on maximizing the throughput of our Bulk logistics supply chain. I'll give you a quick example. Of the sheer goal of pushing more coal to our supply chain, we're working with our supply-chain partners to forge to ensure that we consistently have a train ready to take advantage of our unload windows.

Quick update for those that are interested:
Scientific Linux 6.4 has been quite a success so far.
I use Davmail [ DavMail POP/IMAP/SMTP/Caldav/Carddav/LDAP Exchange Gateway ] to interface Linux's Thunderbird mail & calendar to our Exchange servers and that seems to work very well (piece of cake to configure). Davmail is started with a simple .sh script which you can set as a Gnome startup app. It provides an IMAP interface to the Exchange protocols, you just point Thunderbid's mail and calendar at 'localhost' with the appropriate ports and you're in business.
For Windows stuff , I host a W7 machine using Oracle's Virtualbox (Centos/RHEL 6 rpm download) which works fine. I don't like keeping files within the virtual machine, so I use Virtualbox's mapping function to share a native Linux folder as a mapped Windows drive. Project files, code, scripts, etc are kept here, outside of the virtual machine, yet still accessible as a drive from the Windows VM. This works like a charm.

strategies for introducing cow's milk
|Tue, 02-21-2012 - 1:23pm
My LO turns one in exactly 23 days (!) and I plan to wean from the pump at that time.
|Tue, 02-21-2012 - 1:36pm
We started adding it a little, tiny bit at a time to his sippy cup of BM--about 1/2 an ounce or less in a 4 oz serving to start and increased it by about half an ounce once a week. When we hit equal parts cows milk and BM, he started rejecting it, so we backed up to about 1/3 CM and 2/3 BM again and left it that way for 2 more weeks and then started the slow increases again. When it got the the point that we were at 3+ oz CM, we cut out the BM and DS did ok.
|Thu, 02-23-2012 - 3:06am
I'm in the process of doing this right now. I started out doing 20-25% cow's milk and the rest breastmilk. My dd drank it no problem. I've been dong this for about 2 weeks now and just started doing 2oz. cow's and 3 oz. bm and she is doing just fine with this too. Since I'm ancy to drop another pump (still pumping 4x/day), I think in another week I'll do 3oz. cows and 2oz. bm and see how that goes!

Factcheck.org weighs in on the "czar" controversy.
1. The term is more of a media creation, because their real titles are cumbersome. There's always been special envoys and advisers who aren't confirmed by Congress.
2. Glenn Beck's list of 33 czars is laughable. Shocking, I know.
3. George W. Bush had even more, but no complaints from Congress — or pundits who are suddenly mortified — about that.
As is typical of these faux scandals, one need only look under the hood.

I recently purchased this product and have been using it in conjunction with the Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer for a little more than a week now. I use this product with my Olay Pro X cleansing tool/brush and I actually really like this cleanser. It definitely makes my face feel clean and smooth without it feeling irritated or dried out. A big downside to this product for me is that the cap doesn't latch shut properly, which I didn't notice the first time I used it and I ended up losing product because it was leaking. This could have just been the bottle I picked up, but I believe I have seen other reviews mention this as well. Since using this cleanser with the replenishing moisturizer I have noticed a large increase in blackheads, but I believe that is due to the moisturizer. I will be looking for a new moisturizer to use along with this cleanser, and I will come back to update if the blackheads don't decrease with a moisturizer change. All in all I would say this is a good product and I would definitely purchase this cleanser again.

I used this in conjunction with the Simple Oil Balancing Wash and Simple Soothing Face Scrub. I know I can't blame this product solely but this combination caused my skin to become absolutely atroucious. I was constantly breaking out and had dry patches and rashes everywhere. I don't know why these three products did this since the Simple toners is one of my favourites and I never had any dramas with the face wipes either.
However, the price was reasonable and I did like the packaging. Gave it two lippies because I don't know if it was the product that caused the skin irritation.

This is newly paraben free which makes me love it ten times more. I've been using this stuff for about two years now and I've never had a problem. Keeps my skin very clear and under control. My only con is that my last few I've had to keep in the shower upside down because the cap wont latch and they leak. But really not a big deal.

I just brought this product today...excited to go home and try it I cleaned my face of my makeup I had on today. So I put the face wash on my clarisonic and I washed my face...my skin felt regular nothing surprising or different. About 10 minutes later I noticed a bump on my chin it felt like a mosquito bite and it was very itchy...I just put some tea tree oil on it...15 minutes later, bumps are all around my chin and itchy it looked like I broke out in hives on my chin..it is very itchy...I had hopes for this product but it was just a disappointment..I will be returning this product...I am trying to calm my skin as I type this...this is horrible. NEVER AGAIN!!!

I like this face wash. I have really sensitive skin and I've tried using other face washes. They burn my face and make my skin peel, so I decided to get one that's meant for sensitive skin. After the second time using this, I noticed that my face felt a lot better. It felt smoother and softer. That made me very happy because having such sensitive skin is so hard to deal with. I'm glad I finally found something my skin gets along with!

I have used so many products over the years and this is by far the best yet. I have combo skin that is super dry in places and super oily in others. This seems to balance it out very well. In the past i always got a few breakouts several times a month but since I have been using this I have had smooth skin for so long I can't even remember the last breakout. Since I've had so much success with it I told my acne prone 14 yr old son to try it. It works great for him too!

Age: 30-35 Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium Hair: Black, Medium Eyes: Brown
I don't have a habit of different wash for different areas of my body now that I've gone towards clean products.
However, I have been travelling for work intensively and started running out on my organic products so I needed something else for face now that my body is not on organic wash.
I picked this up from the drugstore. Nothing too harsh. Nothing too fantastic either. I use it with my konjac sponge. Cleans well but I remove makeup with oil anyway so there's nothing much to cleaning on my face.
It lathers quite a lot so I think it has more chemicals than it claims to be, people who uses purely organic stuff will know what I mean.
Anyway, I won't repurchase. Nothing wrong with this. I just don't believe in dirty products anymore. This was a one time thing.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Cool Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium Eyes: Brown
This is a pretty decent face wash and it bubbles up well and you do feel like you've really washed your face after using it. I would say feel refreshed although my skin did feel a bit tight after using it and later in the day despite its Moisturising claims so I would not buy it again. I have bought the newer Moisturising cleansing lotion which doesn't feel as though it strips my face as much as this.
When you squeeze the bottle you end the product dispensed looks more like a gel with something smooth/soft/Moisturising in (like some bath products) but it doesn't feel like this on the skin so I couldn't say it was that gentle.
I feel it does a good job at cleansing.

I truly don't understand the bad reviews either. I have sensitive skin prone to eczema and since I started using this 6 months ago, I have had no trouble at all. Skin never feels too dry after washing -very gentle and actually cleans. I highly recommend this cleanser. I use it only once per day (in the morning) since I shower at night. I don't really wash my face with anything but water and a gentle face cloth at night in the shower. It is possible that washing twice a day could dry me out but so far - what I am doing is working.
