The ADuM3070 isolator is a regulated dc-to-dc isolated power supply controller with an internal MOSFET driver. The dc-to-dc controller has an internal isolated PWM feedback from the secondary side based on the iCoupler® chip scale transformer technology and complete loop compensation. This eliminates the need to use an optocoupler for feedback and compensates the loop for stability.
The ADuM3070 isolator provides a more stable output voltage and higher efficiency compared to unregulated isolated dc-to-dc power supplies. The fully integrated feedback and loop compensation in a small QSOP package provides a smaller form factor than any discrete solution. The regulated feedback provides a relatively flat efficiency curve over the full output power range. The ADuM3070 enables a dc-to-dc converter with a 3.3 V to 24 V isolated output voltage range from either a 5.0 V or a 3.3 V input voltage, with an output power of up to 2.5 W.APPLICATIONS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Country music singer Joe Nichols is in rehab for treatment for substance abuse.
His management company, Lytle Management, posted a statement yesterday on his Web site that says Nichols has alluded to his struggles with substance abuse in comments over the past year.
The statement says he entered the program to become healthier and deal with long-standing issues. It did not say when Nichols entered the treatment program.
His most recent album, "Real Things," was released by Universal South last month. He has had hits with "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" and "Brokenheartsville."

CNSV Acquires 58 Oil And Gas Wells Including Lease Acreage Valued At $15,555,208, And Adds Three Directors
HENDERSON, Nev., April 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consolidation Services, Inc. ("CNSV") (OTC Bulletin Board: CNSV), acquired 39 oil wells, 19 gas wells and approximately 1,500 leased acres in Kentucky and Tennessee in twelve transactions at a total cost of $15,555,208; all paid through the issuance of 23,216,729 restricted CNSV shares. CNSV unregistered shares were valued at $0.67 per share, a 29.5% discount from the average price of all CNSV shares traded in March of 2010 on the OTCBB. The purchase price equaled the amount the original investors in each transaction paid to acquire and develop the acquired oil and gas assets. The acquired gas wells are part of a larger lease, which management believes is a potential opportunity. Although the gas wells are shut in, management has a plan to commence production again and acquire a number of other adjacent gas wells.
CNSV elected three new members to its Board of Directors, each with extensive, diverse business experience in the oil and gas industry. Stephen Thompson has over thirty years experience in the domestic oil and gas industry; including experience in leasing, ownership and operation of drilling rigs, syndication and field operations. Pamela J. Thompson (unrelated to Mr. Thompson) is a licensed Certified Public Accountant, with other clientele in diverse business industries. Gary Kucher has extensive investment banking experience, assisting companies in mergers and acquisitions, financing, and business development.
Dr. Thomas, CEO said, "these acquisitions are a significant beginning in the execution of a CNSV strategy to acquire oil and gas assets in exchange for CNSV common stock." Management intends to use shares of CNSV to acquire significant assets and to recruit an experienced oil and gas management team.

- 0Nov 19, '12 by Simply ComplicatedQuote from fkarbowskiLots of late night homework. I have a 3 month old and an almost 4 year old.I don't know how you do it or anyone with children ... I don't have any children and am having a hard time with juggling it all!
- 0Nov 19, '12 by cincinursemaryQuote from Simply ComplicatedKind of a strict schedule for myself. Not much time for fun. Husband helps ALOT!Lots of late night homework. I have a 3 month old and an almost 4 year old.
And yes, a lot of late nights. My typical bedtime is about 1am.
- 0Nov 19, '12 by ynursedQuote from cincinursemaryI agree about the late night and the typical bedtime of 1am. I have a 7 year old. I would not be able to do it without the help of my husband. He is just an awesome guy!!!Kind of a strict schedule for myself. Not much time for fun. Husband helps ALOT!
And yes, a lot of late nights. My typical bedtime is about 1am.
- 0Nov 20, '12 by jilla1279Again we have instructions and answers that are as clear as mud!! The head neck assessment comes with four attachments and little direction as to which format we should be following. When questions are asked it seems as though the most general response in being given on purpose. IF I were in a class I would expect the teacher to answer my questions directly and show me examples when I asked for clarification. This is the most ridiculous version of "teaching" I have ever encountered. Also if we are doing an assessment each week why not create an outline of format for us to follow that is consistent and can be used for each assessment?
- 0Nov 20, '12 by mblouQuote from Simply ComplicatedWhere on FB? Do you have to join a group?So on the FB page, people are talking about needing the eye chart, and otoscope and all that. I sure as heck don't have the money to buy that stuff. I hope they don't expect us to. I don't have access to them either. What do you guys think?
- 0Nov 20, '12 by mblouQuote from BbotteI did the same thing. I did post a message on the board to see if this is correct
When you did that the assignment 2: Did you do it both ways like table 10-1 and then rewrite it in long hand versus a chart like table 10-2? I would ask my TA but would not get a clear answer so asking you guys?
- 0Nov 20, '12 by rowdy-piperI agree. Late night. I do my best work from 1-4am. Four kids but blessed to only work 16hours per week.
- 0Nov 20, '12 by Simply ComplicatedQuote from mblouWhere on FB? Do you have to join a group?
Search for Ohio University RN to BSN and it will bring it up. You request to join, but it's an open group, so you can still see everything anyways. It says Outreach, but it's the same classes.
- 0Nov 20, '12 by PeanutButterJellyI feel like I am missing something in the objective assignment. I only have a table with four objectives listed. Is that all you have to do? Am I missing something.

Pro Athletes Rockin' Sports Apparel Line of Connecticut College Senior
Before the Mercer University Bears defeated the devil last Friday (March 21) afternoon in an NCAA men's college basketball tournament game—the Duke Blue Devils, that is—the logo shown below right was probably only familiar to the Georgia university's students, those who follow Atlantic Sun Conference sports and truly "rabid" college basketball fans. After the historic upset of a team much of America loves to loathe (in a collegiate competition sense), the menacing bear image will become ubiquitous, suddenly familiar to people everywhere. The longer Mercer stays in the tournament, the more widely known the logo will become, and a long run that creates sustained buzz and a cult-like aura for Mercer basketball could even translate into kids who...
Westport Designer's Tunics Embody Style and a Story; From India to Harvard MBA, Career and Beyond
It's easy to be mesmerized by Sulu Grant. Her dark-haired Indian beauty is exotic and breathtaking. In combination with her upper crust British accent, gentle grace and dry, occasionally self-deprecating humor, it's hard not to fall completely under her spell. A clothing designer, she is wearing one of her signature Indian tunics, a black cotton affair with elaborate turquoise embroidery. Accessorized with simple turquoise drop earrings and a chunky turquoise bracelet, the look is nothing short of irresistible. The good news, no the great news, is that the stunning Sulu Collection tunics are for sale, and lesser mortals can look, if not quite as beautiful as she, very pretty indeed. With her very quick mind and sharp business sense, Sulu Grant, 54, has reinvented...

Did Marilyn Manson sneak into hotel with Lana Del Rey?
Marilyn Manson has sparked rumors he's dating rising star Lana Del Rey after they were spotted sneaking into a hotel together.
The pair met each other at a restaurant in Berlin on Thursday, the night before the Echo Awards. They were seen leaving the eatery together in a mini-van after midnight.
Del Rey was booked into the city's Concorde Hotel but was spotted arriving with Manson at his hotel, the Grand Hyatt, and they were then photographed sneaking into the elevator together, according to local publication B.Z.
Mario Lopez launches underwear collection
Former "Saved By The Bell" star Mario Lopez is getting intimate with fans by launching his own underwear collection.
The actor has designed his own line of undergarments, RatedM, in partnership with the brand 2(x)ist, and he is set to model the apparel for the company's upcoming advertising campaign, according to Women's Wear Daily.
Lopez's range is on sale online, with a two-pack costing $26.50.
Marilyn Manson sings Justin Timberlake songs in Vegas
Marilyn Manson stunned fans in Las Vegas on Saturday night by reportedly belting out Justin Timberlake songs at a karaoke bar.
The shock rocker enjoyed a night out at a Halloween party in Sin City, and after the bash finished, he headed to the Born and Raised bar with a group of friends.
Manson reportedly grabbed the microphone for an impromptu karaoke performance, singing tracks including Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" for thrilled revellers, according to New York Post gossip column PageSix.
A source tells the publication, "More shots followed, some shotgunned beers, before Marilyn got on the mike and sang The Doors' 'Texas Radio'and a pretty-good version of Timberlake's 'Cry Me a River,' which he sang six times."
Another onlooker adds, "He was insisting on Timberlake music, so somebody had to download it on their iPod. It was a Halloween party, but nobody could believe Manson was there. It was wild."
Report: Marilyn Manson & Evan Rachel Wood call off engagement
Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has split from his on/off girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood once again after calling off their engagement, according to a report.
The on/off couple originally dated in 2006 following his divorce from burlesque star Dita Von Teese.
They broke up in 2008 and briefly reunited in early 2009, before reconciling months later and secretly becoming engaged in January.
But the odd pair has called it quits yet again, according to People.com.
Manson, 41, was spotted out in Hollywood without Wood by his side on Saturday night – and a source claims the night out was his pals' attempt to cheer him up after splitting from "The Wrestler" actress, 22, last week.
The insider tells the website, "They just broke off their engagement, and he needed a night out with friends."
Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood engaged?
Marilyn Manson is to wed his actress girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood, just months after they reunited, according to reports.
The singer started dating Wood in 2006, following his split from then-wife Dita Von Teese, but the odd couple parted ways in 2008 and briefly reunited in early 2009 before splitting once more.
Manson and Wood reignited their love affair again late last year, and now the stars are ready to cement their relationship by exchanging vows.
According to People, the rocker, 41, proposed to "The Wrestler" star during a performance in Paris on Monday — and the 22 year old actress accepted.
Wood has previously stated of their romance, "(Manson is) lovely, really human and just amazing. It may surprise you just how healthy and loving our relationship is."
As WENN went to press, representatives for both stars had yet to respond to requests for a comment.
Marilyn Manson's ex-band mate gets $380,000 payout
The keyboardist who sued Marilyn Manson for more than $20 million is walking away with $380,000 after the feuding rockers settled their legal battle in court.
The rocker reached a settlement with Stephen Bier — also known by stage names Madonna Wayne Gacy and Pogo — on December 11, following a two-year court battle.
The $20 million suit, which Bier filed in 2007, accused Manson of breach of contract, alleging the star used money from their former band partnership to buy personal goods including gifts for his ex-wife Dita Von Teese.
Manson claimed the band's partnership was dissolved in 1996, but Bier — who left the group in 2007 — was adamant he should still be entitled to a share of revenue.
The pair came to a stalemate, and Manson promptly took to the Internet to dismiss rumors he gave in to Bier's demands.
According to the Associated Press, Bier is still receiving a substantial $380,000 payout, but Manson won't pay it directly.
Manson's insurance company will hand over $175,000, while Bier's former business managers will pay the remainder.
Manson's Reps Deny Rocker Has Swine Flu
Marilyn Manson's concert promoters have contradicted the shock rocker's confession he's been diagnosed with swine flu.
Last week Manson claimed he was informed by doctors earlier this month that he had contracted the virus.
In a post on his personal blog, Manson wrote, "So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU.
"I know everyone will suggest that f**king a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have, in 'no way' contributed to… me acquiring this mysterious sickness. Unfortunately, I am going to survive. M."
However, promoters for Manson's Canadian tour have denied the rocker has contracted the illness.
A statement from the promoters reads: "The Gillett Entertainment Group and Live Nation confirmed today that contrary to rumors circulating, Marilyn Manson is not suffering from swine flu."
Manson wrapped his Canadian tour with shows in Halifax on Friday and Moncton, New Brunswick, on Saturday. His online posts have since been removed.
Manson Threatens 'Cavalier' Journalists
Marilyn Manson has hurled threats at journalists who take aim at him in interviews after a L.A. Weekly reporter recently suggested in an article that the star was a cocaine user.
Manson took offense to writer Travis Keller's piece and has issued a warning to reporters who publish "cavalier statements" about him or his band in a sinister MySpace.com blog.
The rocker promises to avenge any such articles by visiting the writers at home.
He rages, "If one more 'journalist' makes a cavalier statement about me and my band, I will personally, or with my fans' help, greet them at their home and discover just how much they believe in their freedom of speech.
"I dare you all to write one more thing that you won't say to my face. Because I will make you say it. In that manner. That is a threat."
In the L.A. Weekly article, Keller recalls meeting Manson in 2007 and states the "Rock Is Dead" singer opened their dialogue by asking, "Can you get us some cocaine?"
Keller writes, "I remember thinking, 'He's going to come out with some kind of cape on'. I'd never met him before and thought he'd be hanging out in a coffin. He's nothing like that."
The reporter went on to reveal Manson dubbed his girlfriend at the time Snowflake, because "when they played shows, she'd hold all the coke."
Manson Was A Hermit After Wood Split
Marilyn Manson was so upset over his 2008 split from Evan Rachel Wood that he refused to leave his house for three months.
Manson spent both Christmas and his birthday in January behind closed doors, and ignored phone calls from family and friends following the break-up last year.
The singer, previously married to burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, says, "I spent Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve and then my birthday entirely alone, except for (my cat) Lily. Everyone was calling me because it was the holidays. But I didn't even speak to my parents.
"It became a real period that I felt I had to go through — like something in the Bible when they go out into the wilderness and fast.
"So I started writing to address what I was going through at the time. That was mostly my relationship. I don't think it helped! It's not like any of this is really a good thing."
Manson and Wood have since revived their romance.
Manson Upset About Borland's Bizkit Return
Shock rocker Marilyn Manson has fired off at former touring guitarist Wes Borland for abandoning him and returning to the reunited Limp Bizkit.
Manson is upset Borland agreed to be part of Fred Durst's comeback and isn't afraid to go public with his thoughts.
In a new interview with British rock magazine Kerrang!, he says, "If the reason (he rejoined Limp Bizkit) is money, then I'd rather roll up a $5 note and shove it up my urethra."
Borland has responded via news Web site Blabbermouth.net, explaining he left Manson's side after songs he wrote for the rocker were rejected.
He says, "It's the Marilyn Manson show over there. Limp Bizkit is more of a band."

What should a candidate for the state legislature blog about?
I've found that candidates have a tough time wrapping their head around an answer to this. Many have been exposed to blogs to some degree, some a little and some a little more than that.
But, most, if not all I've talked to, don't see topics that they can write about that would be of interest to a voter.
Mention that the marketplace for products and ideas has changed, you get stares and yawns. Research shows that consumers are looking for conversation when they consider new products and new ideas.
And they are looking for a relationship with those who they deal with whether, it's a car dealer, a software company or a person to represent them in the state legislature.
For politicians that means that voters want to know and have a relationship with candidates. The person they vote for has to be more than a press release.
They want the candidate to talk with them where they do family business, at the kitchen table. In most situations that could be done most easily on a laptop and through a blog.
What do you want to know about a person who is going to spend lots of your money. It's relationship and all the pieces that go into one.
That should be a starting point for blog topics.

Blue Medora Secures $1.25 Million In Growth Capital From West Michigan Investors
Blue Medora was founded in 2007 as a partnership between Owen and Atomic Object. They spent the first 18 months developing their initial product, which bridged the monitoring and management capabilities of a key IBM product to a number of critical Oracle applications including PeopleSoft and Siebel.
Owen said IBM already licenses a number of virtualization and cloud management products from Blue Medora, which has doubled in size from 11 to 22 employees since 2011 and is expected to employ up to 35 people in the next 18 months. Additionally, he said Blue Medora is gaining critical velocity quickly in the marketplace, including a customer portfolio of over 50 enterprises currently using their solutions, and they beginning to attract the notice of analyst groups like IDC and Gartner. The company's current development strategy includes the introduction of systems management and monitoring solutions meant to extend the virtualization capabilities of Oracle EM through VMware integration.
"Systems management is rapidly evolving.

When the makers of a slip-on keyboard designed to give iPhone users the physical touch they craved were sued by BlackBerry over what the phone company claimed was a copy of its phones, they had to take the product off the market. Today the company — with Ryan "I Actually Look The Same In Real Life As I Do As A Character On The Simpsons" Seacrest as a major investor — says it has a new version of the keyboard that puts it in the clear, legally. [More]
Makers Of Slip-On iPhone Keyboard Sued By BlackBerry Release New Model
BlackBerry Dumps T-Mobile After It Flaunted Its Relationship With The iPhone
BlackBerry is in kind of a tough place right now. First, back in January, everyone thought the struggling company had a big order from the Pentagon… which turned out to not be true. Then, one of its main squeezes, T-Mobile, started offering up the iPhone 5s for free as a "great offer for BlackBerry customers." That was the last straw, prompting BlackBerry to dump the phone carrier. [More]
Pentagon Bursts BlackBerry's Bubble By Explaining It Doesn't Really Want 80,000 Phones
Breaking up is so hard to do. Especially when the side doing the breaking up never really meant to get into a relationship in the first place. The Department of Defense is having to let BlackBerry down easy after the company got all giddy after misreading a press release into thinking that the Pentagon was going to place an order for 80,000 new phones. [More]
BlackBerry Reminds Everyone It's Still Relevant By Suing Over Slip-On Keyboard Design
One of the most common things to come out of a person's mouth who has just switched from a BlackBerry to an iPhone is probably: "It's so hard to type on this dang screen with my big fat fingers." Nevertheless, BlackBerry has seen swarms of customers go rushing into the arms of the iPhone and other smartphones in recent years. In a stab at reminding everyone that it's still a relevant brand, BlackBerry is now suing the makers of a slip-on keyboard for the iPhone, claiming it's a blatant copy. [More]
BlackBerry Writes Customers Open Letter Telling Them Everything Will Be Okay, Promise
Full-page ads are rolling out today in 30 publications sprinkled across nine countries with an open letter from struggling BlackBerry to its customers. The gist? Please don't leave us, we cross our hearts and swear to die that everything is going to be okay and you can still use your phone in the near future.
Blackberry Shareholders File Class-Action Suit Claiming The Company Misled Investors About Its Future
A BlackBerry shareholder has filed a class action lawsuit against the company, basically accusing it of painting a much rosier picture of the company's future, including how awesome and great sales of the new BlackBerry 10 smartphone lines would be. The reality has been far less delightful for the struggling smartphone makers. [More]
What If Blackberry Customer Service Ran Other Things?
Alex uses a Blackberry Bold, and isn't very happy with Blackberry right now. He was just minding his own business when the phone decided to over-the-air update itself, the update failed, and his phone just went ahead and wiped itself. When he called to complain, he says Blackberry virtually shrugged and told him that he should have uninstalled the app that caused the update problems. Even though it was an app that shipped with the phone. Alex wondered: what if other businesses ran things the same way? [More]
BlackBerry To Offer Free BBM Service To Customers Who've Already Fled To iOS, Android
Back when I got my first work BlackBerry, I was all, "Hey, cool — I can email on this thing and message people. Great." And that's basically where BlackBerry has been stuck over the last few years, as iPhones and Android phones have erupted in popularity and gained devoted followings. Now, the company figures if you don't want to actually own a BlackBerry, maybe you'd still want to use its BBM free messaging service. [More]
What Are America's Most Damaged Brands Right Now?
How mighty brands fall. Bad leadership, bad planning, a run of bad products: any of these can damage a brand in a short amount of time, and it can take years to recover: if, indeed, the brand recovers at all. What brands are the most battered in the United States right now? 24/7 Wall Street rounded them up, based on which publicly-traded major companies are currently dealing with aggressive competition, reputation disasters, and a lack of direction. [More]
Could It Be? Photos Purport To Show BlackBerry Is Making An Effort In Touch Screen Arena
Whenever my friends are like, "Ugh, I just spilled water in my BlackBerry keyboard!" I don't feel bad. No, I just hope that said friend will finally get a phone with a touch screen like the rest of the civilized world. I'm mostly joking — BlackBerry still has some very loyal fans, but its maker RIM has been criticized for not keeping up with the touch screen smartphone times. That might all be changing now. [More]
Verizon Closing Its App Store Because You Can Buy Apps Everywhere Else, So Why Bother?
Those Verizon Wireless customers with a Blackberry or Android phone will soon have one less icon on their phoens come January 2013, as Verizon announced it's killing off its branded app store at that time. Why? Simply because with all the other ways for customers to access apps for their phones, the company says it's not needed anymore. [More]
Apple & Amazon Top This Year's Brand Loyalty Survey, Blackberry Hangs On In Last Place
If there's anything we want from our products and the brands that provide them, it's love, true love. Well, maybe not quite that level, but according to the most recent Brand Keys Loyalty Leaders List, we consumers are craving an emotional connection to brands. And when they fill that special place in our hearts, they earn our loyalty. [More]
Dating Site Says Android Users Are More Likely To Give It Up On The First Date
Match.com did some very scientific research in Canada, polling singles living up there beyond our borders, and found that Android users are a lot more likely than other smartphone users to put out on the first date. Maybe don't use that as your pick-up line, however, if you spot someone with an Android phone. [More]
Do You Use Your Mobile Phone In The Bathroom?
We've all got that person at work who just yakkety yaks away on their phone in the bathroom, and it's probably the same guy/gal who uses their shoe to flush and opens the door with a paper towel (so inconsistent, germaphobes!) Hey, maybe that's even you, because as a new survey says, lots of us use our mobile devices in the john. No judgment! [More]
Void Your Mobile Phone Warranty: Move Somewhere Humid
Until recently, Israel was a happy and loyal T-Mobile customer of almost a decade. He's also that person left who's still using a BlackBerry. He sent his phone in for a warranty exchange, dutifully checking the liquid damage sensor first to make sure his phone hadn't been dunked. But TMo charged him a fee for water damage anyway, because the real moisture sensor is buried inside the phone, and told a different story. Because Israel had dared…. to live in Miami. [More]
Best Buy Sold Out Of BlackBerry PlayBook Tablets After $300 Discount

One More Nail in BlackBerry's Coffin: More Mobile Workers Use iPhones
Back in the day, if your company needed you to check email on the go, the IT guy set you up with a BlackBerry. But in what might be the most recent in a series of nails in BlackBerry's coffin, a new report says more mobile workers now use Apple's iPhones to keep in touch with the office. [More]
Google To Yank Gmail BlackBerry App
In what appears to be a not-so-subtle nudge to get BlackBerry owners who use Gmail to switch to Android phones, Google announced it's going to yank the BlackBerry Gmail app away Nov. 22. Those who already own the app can continue using it, but new BlackBerry owners won't be able to download it after that date. [More]

Germany's Tommy Haas has pulled out of the US Open because of surgery on his right shoulder.
Haas, who is currently ranked 26th in the world, is out for the rest of the season after having a fourth operation on his shoulder.
His withdrawal has opened up a spot in the main draw at Flushing Meadows for Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus.
The 105th-ranked Baghdatis was the runner-up at the 2006 Australian Open and a semi-finalist at Wimbledon that year.
His best US Open showing was last year, when he made it to the third round.

Martha Stewart–Media Mogul and MySpace
Martha Stewart has a MySpace Page, which isn't all that surprising, except we'd have figured her as a Facebook kinda gal. But, what is surprising is that she has a blog which reads like she's writing much of it herself. (We'd certainly read enough of her magazine's end page essays to recognize her style.)
For those of you who are not familiar with bottarga, it is the roe of tuna or rouget that is kept in one piece–sort of like shad roe–salted and dried. Some bottarga is pressed, other left unpressed and some very finely ground into a dry coarse powder. Main culinary uses: as a pasta topping, grated over pasta dishes or thinly sliced in salads and served as antipasto.
Her entries about the South of France are pretty interesting, somewhat informative and the name-dropping isn't obnoxious.
There's something sort of poignant about a media mogul who has no other outlet for her musings about shopping on Sardinia and the poor rate of exchange than the one used by porn stars and tweens.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

FACTBOX-Major U.S. financial regulation initiatives
Fri Jul 31, 2009 2:38pm EDT
July 31 (Reuters) - The Obama administration and
congressional Democrats are moving ahead with a broad plan to
tighten financial regulation, gaining U.S. House of
Representatives approval on July 31 of legislation to impose
new curbs on corporate executive pay.
Here is a summary of the overall financial regulation
plan's components. Companies whose businesses could be at risk
under the plan are listed under "political risk exposure."
The House has approved a bill to give shareholders in
public corporations annual, nonbinding votes on executive pay,
while requiring more independence for compensation committees.
It would also require separate shareholder votes on golden
parachutes and empower regulators to ban pay structures that
encourage "inappropriate risks by financial institutions."
The bill goes next to the Senate, where its outlook is
uncertain. President Barack Obama is pleased with the House
bill, a White House spokesman said, although Obama has proposed
a more limited set of executive pay curbs.
(For the House bill language, click on:
(For the administration bill language, click on:
Over-the-counter derivatives should move onto public
exchanges and go through clearinghouses, in most cases, under
an agreement in principle worked between key House lawmakers.
The Obama administration has called for clearing of
standardized OTC derivatives and would move them, as much as
possible, onto regulated exchanges. Reporting would be required
for transactions in "customized" derivatives.
The administration says regulations should apply to traders
and markets so nothing escapes coverage. It is working on how
to divide SEC and CFTC jurisdiction over derivatives.
Political risk exposure: JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America
Corp, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs (GS.N), CME Group Inc (CME.O),
IntercontinentalExchange (ICE.N)
(For the House leaders' agreement, click here)
The Obama administration wants to put the Federal Reserve
in charge of overseeing large, interconnected firms and "big
picture," or systemic, financial risk in the economy.
Under the Obama plan, the Fed would work with a council of
regulators. Some lawmakers, disappointed with the Fed's recent
work in protecting consumers and managing risk, are skeptical
about giving the central bank this new duty.
(For links to proposed legislation, please click
Bank oversight would be streamlined under the Obama plan
with a new national bank supervisor, merging the Comptroller of
the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision.
The plan would eliminate the charter for thrifts that
underlies the U.S. savings and loan industry. Representative
Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services
Committee, opposes killing the thrift charter.
(For the full bill language, please click on:
A new Consumer Financial Protection Agency would be formed,
under the Obama plan, to oversee mortgages, credit cards and
other financial products and services.
(For the full bill language, please click here)
Reliance by regulators on credit rating agencies would be
reduced by repealing legal rules covering debt issuance that
encourage the use of credit ratings, under the plan.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is already
considering reforms for ratings agencies.
Political risk exposure: Moody's Corp (MCO.N), Standard &
Poor's (MHP.N), Fitch Ratings (LBCP.PA).
(For bill language, please click on:
The House education committee has approved legislation to
revamp the $92-billion student loan market by closing the
Federal Family Education Loan Program and shifting most student
lending into the Education Department's Direct Loan program.
The bill must next go to the House floor for a vote.
Political risk exposure: Sallie Mae (SLM Corp) (SLM.N),
Student Loan Corp (STU.N), JPMorgan, Bank of America, ITT
Educational Services (ESI.N), Corinthian Colleges (COCO.O).
(For the full bill language, please click on:
A government mechanism would be set up for "orderly
resolution of any financial holding company whose failure might
threaten the stability of the financial system."
(For the full bill language, please click on:
Financial institutions would have to strengthen their
capital cushions to absorb losses when times are tough, and
make themselves more liquid, or able to move quickly in and out
of various holdings, "with more stringent requirements for the
largest and most interconnected firms," under the plan.
(For bill language, please click on:
Issuers of asset-backed securities would face new reporting
requirements and be required to keep at least 5 percent of the
performance risk in loans they securitize, under the plan.
Transactions would be more standardized and compensation of
securitizers would be linked to long-term performance.
Political risk exposure: Citigroup (C.N), Wells Fargo
(WFC.N), Bank of America (BAC.N), JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N).
(For bill language, please click on:
Obama would require hedge funds and other private pools of
capital to register with the SEC. Lawmakers have introduced
several bills in Congress to give the SEC authority for this.
Political risk exposure: Bridgewater Associates, D.E. Shaw
Group, Farallon Capital Management, Citadel Investment Group,
Fortress Investment Group (FIG.N) and many others.
(For bill language, please click on:
The SEC finalized a rule on July 27 to clamp down on naked
short selling and is considering other rules on short-selling.
(For the SEC's statement on naked short selling, please
click here)
The administration has called for a new Treasury Department
Office of National Insurance that would monitor the industry
and gather data, but not regulate.
Political risk exposure: Allstate Corp (ALL.N), Travelers
Cos Inc (TRV.N), Hartford Financial (HIG.N), MetLife Inc
(MET.N), Prudential Financial Inc (PRU.N).

Meet Sophia, Metro Parent April 2014 CoverKid – VIDEO
Spring is in the air! This fun, enthusiastic 5-year-old from Westland captured the warm weather vibe and laughed it up in our Q&A.
Ready to cast away this crazy-cold winter once and for all? Just spend a couple minutes with CoverKid Sophia, 5, of Westland – she's practically a ray of sunshine! She got Metro Parent's April 2014 issue into warm-weather gear, highlighting over 120 spring and Easter/holiday-time family events happening in southeast Michigan.
See this animated little gal in action. We're sure you'll love her infectious giggle, random ponderings (yeah, why are the clouds pink?), special hidden talents (she can clap her feet and give Adele a run for her money) and pantomimes her dad shaving his beard – all with a toothy grin with an adorably missing bottom tooth. Ready to smile yourself?
You can meet all of our CoverKids winners for 2013, including those who were announced in September 2013 and will be appearing on our magazine covers into early 2014.

So upset I could scream!
Had a perfect down day yesterday, dreamed up waking up at 143, or 144, only to see 146.4! That's right! A pound and a half GAIN after a DOWN DAY?!? How in the heck is that even possible???!!! It freaking DEFIES THE LAWS OF PHYSICS! I am so pissed off I can hardly contain myself.
Last week I had no loss on Saturday, but it was hormone related. Today? NO EXCUSE! No reason! I just don't get it. 1135 calories is my daily average. WTH?!
I know that can be very frustrating. Do you keep track of all cals on DDs AND UDs? I didn't lose anything for three weeks, and then Beeb and Pat told me to keep track of every cal on my UDs because I was probably eating more calories than I thought I was (true :o)
Once I did that, I started losing.:jumpjoy:
I'm sure some other fellow JUDDDers will have some other suggestions. Don't be discouraged! You'll find your "groove.":cool:
Hey Speck :hugs: Sometimes it does seem like there's no rhyme nor reason to it.
I used to not track my gains and fluctuations, only record losses, just because it bothered me too much to see the # go up at all. But I've been able to start taking the gains in stride, knowing they are temporary if I stick to the plan. And this week I did start recording everything for better knowledge of how the scale moves for me on JUDDD.
Anyway, I know what you are experiencing, because I have gained after DD too. In fact, I usually drop weight after UD and maintain or gain after DD, but not always.
I dropped 3# after an UD this week and then gained those 3# back after a DD.
I know you are disappointed, I'm so sorry. :console: :hugs:
Have you noticed consistent downward trend in weight despite the bounces up?
All things are possible within the human body, and don't we know it.
Sorry you feel so frustrated but look at the bigger picture. You have broken your stall, you are eating all kinds of good food and only have to restrict you calories every other day.
You know this works you are 5 'real' pounds down, today was just a blip. We do blips, we are humans.
What are your UP and DOWN day numbers Speck?
Try not to stress, could be your body freaking out by the calorie restriction. I have had that happen twice in the last four weeks. After a DD i was up 2 lbs. Then the next UD I was so upset that I went over my UD calories by a couple hundred and those 2 lbs plus 1 came off. Just focus on fueling your body with healthy clean food today and make sure you are not hungry and stay satisfied all day and hope that your body gets the picture that you are NOT starving to death and will let it go. :)
I also go up sometimes after a DD! it is so annoying, especially when you feel all slim and lighter!
My theory is I eat a lot more fiber on a DD..gluc, oat fiber, veggies etc... I think the fiber tends to stay in my system for a day or so..which is why I lose on an UD morning...when it all leaves!
Also, on a DD...you arnt eating very much...sometimes not enough to give your body the "urge" to empty the next day...so you are weighing the previous days food too!
After a good UD's eating, you are able to "go" properly...taking the DD and UD food with you!
Just my theory! Keep a daily graph of your weightloss....and you will soon see lots of unexplained ups and down...but with an overall downwards trend...I have done this, and it is very reassuring!
big hugs
I have a similar experience as Joedi...
I don't go to the bathroom much after a DD.
Psyllium fiber, especially, seems to make me "gain" alarmingly, albeit temporarily.
ETA: Lately on DDs I have been mostly eating veggie soup, scrambled egg whites, ham or turkey cold cuts, a little low-fat dairy,
but not experimenting with psyllium & glucomannan so much, and my weight seems more predictable.
And (I'm just speculating here), perhaps our bodies do hold on to weight during that day of calorie restriction,
(I'm sure we burn a little fat on DDs, and I've heard that the cells temporarily fill up with water)
then think, "Oh, everything's okay!" when we re-feed on an UD, and let it go!
I know frequent weighing isn't ideal for everyone, but I weigh at night right before I go to bed so that I don't get a disappointing shock in the morning.
If my weight's the same as or up a couple pounds from the previous night, I'm prepared; but sometimes I get a pleasant surprise!
Sorry you are feeling frustrated and I hope you feel less annoyed soon!
I have no logical reason to believe this but I do think our bodies grab onto whatever water they can just before a loss. Kind of like hording water in our cells. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to see you drop that gain + a pound or 2 tomorrow!
Sorry should have read the other responses first. AT least we all agree! :)
This happens to me too. I gain after DDs but lose after UDs! Don't worry. It'll come off!
I have read on several posts that today's weight does not always/really reflect yesterday's meals. Thank you for the graphic example of what that means. The newbie team is now prepared and promises not to cry when our time comes. You have not suffered in vain!
I agree with everyone and here is my experience and hope it helps:
I have had gains of up to 2 pounds after a DD BUT the UD before was very salty, lots of grain fiber, and a few drinks! :o:doh: SO, I didn't see the gain after the UD but 2 days later, which is following a DD. :doh::down:
THEN after the next UD and then the following DD I have seen a crazy loss of those 2 pounds PLUS another 1/1.5. This just happened this week and I was like :eek: when I got on the scale. :confused:
Don't :stars:, just keep doing the great job you are and let things "settle". It could be anything, including the 3 S brothers (see thread with same title).
Hang in Speck and wait and see what happens after your next DD! I think you may be surprised! ;):up::clap:
Thanks all.
This was the first time in the month I have been doing this that I have seen a gain after a down day. I have been predictably losing, and have lost 5 pounds the last month. I eat pretty much the same thing on down days. I track and count and stay pretty darn close to my 1700 up and 600 down calories. I didn't eat anything excessively salty this week. I did have some frozen yogurt on Thursday. I've never seen a gain show up 2 days later. Whatever the reason, and only God knows what it is, I'm retaining water like crazy.
Thanks again for the kindness, support and suggestions.
I ALWAYS have a gain after a DD, so I stopped weighing myself on those mornings. It's too upsetting.:D
I think there is something to the theory that your body holds on to water or fat on a DD and then during an up day, it sees it's ok to release. I had a great down day yesterday (453 cals) and was a little disappointed this morning when the scale said 114.8. I proceeded to have my coffee and half and half, a piece of apple pie, and yogurt (650 calories worth of food). I've been peeing all morning and now, 5 hours later, the scale says 114! Hang in there. There seems to be no rhyme or reason with the weight fluctuations.
My scale is not my friend either! I do not step on it often as it depresses me! Just try not to step on the #$%$#&% thing!!! Also did you visit the "smallest room in the house" today? That could be the reason too!
Just stick with this WOE as I know it will work for you too!
I have been at this for only a week and I have done nothing but gain. But I could swear my abs are more visible and I just feel slimmer in lots of places, so I'm not too bothered.
Just checking in with Speck and wondering how things are going for you? :console:
Yeah it's no bigee. It is probably just more glycogen+water storage from more carbs. I actually fluctuate a good deal but it is rare to see the scale climb steadily rather than flap. The scale says I gained about 4 lbs. If it were actual fat stored that would mean having eaten the equivalent of *at least* 4lbs of raw fat in a week. So yeah, naw, that's not what happened.
I am settling in now. The novelty of basically, "eat a ton of food in one day" is wearing off. I'll back off on the carbs this week. I expect to see my weight drop a little by Sunday.
lol I understand that:) Once you get beyond the "OMG I have to eat everything today!" aspect, it evens out to "shoot, I can have that the day after tomorrow" :)
I'm OK. Still up after my up and medium day weekend. Today is a down day and I hope to at least be back to where I was by this Saturday.
I had a BAD UD, not-so-good MD, and okay DD and was up 1 lb (from the weight before those three days). Then after the next day (a UD), I was up 2 lbs., then the next day, a DD, I was down 2 lbs.:jumpjoy: So, I just maintained, but with the calorie overage of two days in a row, it still came back off. No rhyme or reason, really.:confused: I'm just trying to stick w/it and I believe all the very supportive people in here who keep telling me to stick w/it!!:D:clap:
Ha ha just as I suspected. I am now down 2 lbs since Monday and that is weighing the day after an Up Day. I peed a lot, yesterday ;)
Threadjack @ piratejenny -
288.8-266 is a 22.8 lb loss, not 12.8. Holy cow, girl! You rawk!!!!
Gah!!! I wish!!! That was a typo!!!!!

Dammit. Was just getting into Chicago Code.
Huge fan of Archer and this episode did not disappoint one bit. Can't wait for the rest.
Glad Modern Family is bringing in some serious numbers. Almost as much as Criminal Minds. If this show gets cancelled any time soon, I may just give up on TV altogether.
Another cracking episode in a show that always makes me laugh.

MasterCard, EServGlobal And BICS Create Remittance Joint Venture
MasterCard (NYSE:MA), eServGlobal (LSE: ESG.L , ASX: ESV.AX) and BICS today announced the formation of HomeSend, a joint venture (JV) which will enable consumers to send money to and from mobile money accounts, payment cards, bank accounts or cash outlets – regardless of their location or that of the recipient.
The HomeSend JV will leverage the current HomeSend platform, a remittance hub based on eServGlobal technology and developed as part of a strategic partnership between eServGlobal and BICS. The HomeSend platform was first to market in offering international mobile remittances. Today, HomeSend has live deployments in 50 countries and commercial contracts with mobile network operators (MNOs) and money transfer operators (MTOs) that represent more than 1.2 billion subscribers – the equivalent of one in seven of the world's population – and 200,000 cash agents respectively.
By connecting the worldwide community of telecom partners and MTOs to the more than 24,000 financial institutions on the MasterCard network, the HomeSend JV will provide consumers new options and flexibility for sending or receiving funds and enable cross border remittance payments worldwide. For people in developing markets, the receipt of funds from friends and family is an important lifeline. Based on World Bank estimates, remittances to developing countries will reach around $515B by 2015.
"HomeSend will provide an important platform to deliver improved remittance services, and bring person-to-person transfer capabilities to more financially underserved consumers around the globe," stated Ed McLaughlin, Chief Emerging Payments Officer at MasterCard. "MasterCard, eServGlobal and BICS each brings its own unique contribution to the newly formed entity. Collectively, we have an opportunity to improve people's lives.""This is a significant development for the global money transfer industry and we are delighted to be part of this new venture," said Paolo Montessori, CEO and Managing Director of eServGlobal. "This combination creates one of the most comprehensive offerings in the market, and we believe will be an important step in the journey to extending cost-effective and easy-to-use financial services to people worldwide."

FIFA has appointed former United States attorney Michael J. Garcia as lead prosecutor to investigate allegations of corruption in world football.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter confirmed the appointment by Twitter on Tuesday.
One of Garcia's first tasks will be to inspect a Swiss court document on a World Cup kickbacks scandal to evaluate the behaviour of Blatter and other senior officials in the affair.
Garcia should have authority to order fresh probes into other old cases, including claims about how FIFA executive committee members awarded hosting rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
FIFA also selected German judge Joachim Eckert to chair the judging chamber of its ethics court.
Garcia and Eckert are seen as key independent figures from outside the so-called "football family", who can help restore FIFA's credibility after bribery and vote-buying scandals.
Blatter's ruling board agreed to create a two-chamber ethics court to prosecute cases more effectively after a panel of anti-corruption experts advising FIFA said previous cases were "insufficiently investigated."
The 13-member panel, led by Swiss law professor Mark Pieth, wants Garcia to examine claims surrounding how Russia and Qatar came to get World Cup hosting rights in a December 2010 poll of FIFA's executive committee.
Several senior FIFA officials were reported to have received payments or sought unethical favours from bidders, and Blatter has acknowledged that some breached bidding rules by joining a pact to back Qatar and the failed Spain-Portugal bid.

JACKSON COUNTY, Miss. (WALA) – One person is dead and three others are hurt after an industrial accident Monday, July 28 in Jackson County, Mississippi.
This latest incident happened Monday morning at Omega Protein, Incorporated in Moss Point.
Moss Point's fire chief said an explosion happened at a storage tank, where welding was going on, on the top of the tank. Authorities said there was an explosion, but no fire.
The man who was killed has been identified as 25-year-old Jerry Lee Taylor II. He was believed to be on top of the tank.
Fire officials said two were hurt were on the ground, and another victim was on some scaffolding.
Moss Point Fire Chief Tommy Posey said, "Approximately 9:30 this morning, we received a call of an explosion here at Omega Protein. Upon arrival, the crews found one huge fish oil holding tank exploded. Some contractors had been in there doing some repair work. At this time, it looks like we have one fatality and three injured."
We have been told Taylor and the other victims were sub-contractors.
Chief Posey said officials with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, were supposed to be on the scene investigating Monday afternoon.
The facility operates a menhaden fishing fleet with a processing plant and adjacent shipyard in Moss Point.
Posey said, "It appears that one gentleman was on the top of the tank. Two of (the others) were on the ground. One on them was on some scaffolding."
Chief Posey said the injured were taken to Singing River Hospital by ambulance. The plant was shut down for the day.
The plant employs about 300 people.
Local company officials would not speak. They referred us to corporate offices for comment, and no statements have been released.
Omega Protein produces fish oils and fish meal.

'Pharaoh' Morsi
The diplomatic hosannas for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi following his brokering of the recent ceasefire between Hamas and Israel were still being heard even as the former head of the Muslim Brotherhood started behaving like a pharaoh. Morsi "temporarily" seized new powers that, among other things, forbid judicial review of his policies.
What ought to amaze us is how many times Western and especially U.S. diplomats have gone to the Arab-Muslim well, believing they will find something different at the bottom. Egypt, Hamas and even Iran string us along like a cad with a bevy of women in his orbit because we refuse to acknowledge their true intent.
In a recent radio interview I tried to explain to the host that the Muslim Brotherhood and other enemies of Israel mean what they say. "Those are just words," he said. How do you break through such willful ignorance?
We are engaged in a clash of civilizations between Western democracies and Islamic fundamentalism. Whether we admit it, or not, this is an indisputable fact. History proves it. As with most dictatorships, Egypt had an election and it could be its last "free" one. Morsi's government is now about the business of suppressing dissent, a familiar practice among dictators. Protests over Morsi's power grab have again enlivened Cairo's Tahrir Square and produced a rebellion by Egyptian judges who have been denied judicial review by their new "pharaoh."
New generations of Muslim children are taught to hate all things Western, including Jews, Christians and other "infidels." Israel is pressured to sign off on a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, so that the West can get back to holiday shopping. Hamas and their terrorist brothers use ceasefires to rearm. According to The Sunday Times, citing Israeli officials, "Israeli intelligence satellites have spied the loading of rockets and other material believed to be destined for the Gaza Strip."
It's not only the West with which Arab-Muslin nations and terrorist groups break agreements. As former Israeli diplomat Yoram Ettinger writes in "The Israel-Hamas Clash of Civilizations," "the culture of compliance is foreign in the Middle East, which has not experienced intra-Muslim compliance with most intra-Muslim agreements for the last 1,400 years. It is a culture that reveres the 7th century (and) Muhammad's treaty of Hudaybiyya, stipulating that treaties are not in perpetuity. Treaties may be violated — in order to achieve the overriding goal of bringing enemies to submission — upon amassing sufficient power to overcome the enemy." This is likely why there is talk about Egypt vacating its 1979 peace treaty with Israel.
The only hope of maintaining a sense of stability in the region is for Israel to remain strong and to have unequivocal support from the West. President Obama's endorsement of Israel's right to defend itself against missiles launched from Gaza was helpful. It would be even more helpful if the United States would stop believing the fiction that the goal of the Palestinians is their own state after which they will live together peacefully with the rest of the world. It won't happen. It can't happen, given the beliefs and practices of Arab-Muslim nations.
Israel's enemies understand strength and resolve. They are encouraged by weakness and vacillation. That is why they feel emboldened, not only to move missiles that were likely provided by Iran into Gaza, but also why other terrorists attacked the U.S. mission in Benghazi, killing four Americans. They pay little or no price for doing so while we argue over whether words were taken out of intelligence documents before U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on five Sunday talk shows.
No nation has done a better job fighting terrorism than Israel. It remains America's strongest ally in the region and a necessary counterforce to attempts by Hamas and PLO sympathizers Russia, China and North Korea to penetrate deeper into the Middle East.
If more people would take the time to read the pronouncements and goals of Morsi when he headed the Muslim Brotherhood and also his latest speeches, they would understand what the endgame is and why disbelief by the West is also part of their strategy for world domination.
