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.

the guy who leaked the memo to the press? But why now? If Ijaz got this
memo from a Pakistani diplomat on May 9 why bring it up 6 months later?
and now you have Haqqani denying that he ever wrote or sent this memo but
offered his resignation to end the controversy.
Haqqani talking to the media in Washington: "I do not want this non-issue
of an insignificant me Haqqani told the media.
Also: Mullen's spokesman, Capt. John Kirby, confirmed to Foreign Policy's
website Wednesday that Mullen did receive the memo from Ijaz, but he did
not find it credible and ignored it. "Adm. Mullen had no recollection of
the memo and no relationship with Mr. Ijaz," Kirby said.

Time to take on Pakistana**s jihadist spies
ctober 10, 2011 7:58 pm
By Mansoor Ijaz
Early on May 9, a week after US Special Forces stormed the hideout of
Osama bin Laden and killed him, a senior Pakistani diplomat telephoned me
with an urgent request. Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistana**s president, needed
to communicate a message to White House national security officials that
would bypass Pakistana**s military and intelligence channels. The
embarrassment of bin Laden being found on Pakistani soil had humiliated Mr
Zardaria**s weak civilian government to such an extent that the president
feared a military takeover was imminent. He needed an American fist on his
army chiefa**s desk to end any misguided notions of a coup a** and fast.
Gen Ashfaq Kayani, the army chief, and his troops were demoralised by the
embarrassing ease with which US special forces had violated Pakistani
sovereignty. Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistana**s feared spy service,
was charged by virtually the entire international community with
complicity in hiding bin Laden for almost six years. Both camps were
looking for a scapegoat; Mr Zardari was their most convenient target.
The diplomat made clear that the civilian governmenta**s preferred channel
to receive Mr Zardaria**s message was Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the
US joint chiefs of staff. He was a time-tested friend of Pakistan and
could convey the necessary message with force not only to President Barack
Obama, but also to Gen Kayani.
In a flurry of phone calls and emails over two days a memorandum was
crafted that included a critical offer from the Pakistani president to the
Obama administration: a**The new national security team will eliminate
Section S of the ISI charged with maintaining relations to the Taliban,
Haqqani network, etc. This will dramatically improve relations with
The memo was delivered to Admiral Mullen at 14.00 hours on May 10. A
meeting between him and Pakistani national security officials took place
the next day at the White House. Pakistana**s military and intelligence
chiefs, it seems, neither heeded the warning, nor acted on the admirala**s
On September 22, in his farewell testimony to the Senate armed services
committee, Admiral Mullen said he had a**credible intelligencea** that a
bombing on September 11 that wounded 77 US and Nato troops and an attack
on the US embassy in Kabul on September 13 were done a**with ISI
support.a**Essentially he was indicting Pakistana**s intelligence services
for carrying out a covert war against the US a** perhaps in retaliation
for the raid on bin Ladena**s compound, perhaps out of strategic national
interest to put Taliban forces back in power in Afghanistan so that
Pakistan would once again have the a**strategic deptha** its paranoid
security policies against India always envisioned.
Questions about the ISIa**s role in Pakistan have intensified in recent
months. The finger of responsibility in many otherwise inexplicable
attacks has often pointed to a shadowy outfit of ISI dubbed a**S-Winga**,
which is said to be dedicated to promoting the dubious agenda of a narrow
group of nationalists who believe only they can protect Pakistana**s
territorial integrity.
The time has come for the state department to declare the S-Wing a sponsor
of terrorism under the designation of a**foreign governmental
organisationsa**. Plans by the Obama administration to blacklist the
Haqqani network are toothless and will have no material impact on the
groupa**s military support and intelligence logistics; it is S-Wing that
allegedly provides all of this in the first place. It no longer matters
whether ISI is wilfully blind, complicit or incompetent in the attacks its
S-Wing is carrying out. S-Wing must be stopped.
ISI embodies the scourge of radicalism that has become a cornerstone of
Pakistana**s foreign policy. The time has come for America to take the
lead in shutting down the political and financial support that sustains an
organ of the Pakistani state that undermines global antiterrorism efforts
at every turn. Measures such as stopping aid to Pakistan, as a bill now
moving through Congress aims to do, are not the solution. More precise
policies are needed to remove the cancer that ISI and its rogue wings have
become on the Pakistani state.
Pakistanis are not Americaa**s enemies. Neither is their incompetent and
toothless civilian government a** the one Admiral Mullen was asked to help
that May morning. The enemy is a state organ that breeds hatred among
Pakistana**s Islamist masses and then uses their thirst for jihad against
Pakistana**s neighbours and allies to sate its hunger for power. Taking
steps to reduce its influence over Pakistana**s state affairs is a
critical measure of the worlda**s willingness to stop the terror masters
at their very roots.

Pakistana**s Ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani. a** File
WASHINGTON: Mansoor Ijaz, a Pakistani-American businessman, told Dawn on
Thursday that it indeed was Ambassador Husain Haqqani who asked him to
deliver an alleged incendiary memo to the then American military chief
days after the May 2 US raid on Osama bin Ladena**s compound, seeking his
help to avert a possible military coup in Pakistan.
Ijaz also said he decided to disclose the contents of this alleged secret
memo because he was offended by attacks in the Pakistani media on Admiral
Mike Mullen who, he claimed, was Pakistana**s a**truest frienda** in
Dawn: The Washington Post on Thursday quoted you as saying that Ambassador
Haqqani a**orchestrated the denial of the memoa** and then interpreted
your quote as a**indirectly identifyinga** Mr Haqqani as the official who
gave you the memo. Is it a correct assumption?
Mansoor Ijaz: Yes, Amb Husain Haqqani, whom I have known for over 10
years, was indeed the senior Pakistani diplomat who asked me to assist him
in privately delivering his message to Admiral Mullen. And I have clear
evidence in my Blackberry messages that he not only did everything in his
persuasive, sometimes friendly intimidation, style to keep the entire saga
under wraps, he actively a** in my view a** attempted to and did indeed
orchestrate denials from each official body that mattered. When the
Foreign Office denial didna**t work, he tried the presidency with a
stronger rebuttal.
When that didna**t work, he got an unsuspecting and unwitting Admiral
Mullen to deny. Admiral Mullen, honest man that he is, went back and
checked and found out the truth, and duly issued a clarification stating
the truth. Obviously, there were a lot of people in Pakistan a** including
the army chief, the ISI chief and the prime minister a** whom he did not
take into confidence on this matter.
Dawn: Did Mr Haqqani draft the memo? Did you also help draft the memo?
Mansoor Ijaz: Amb Haqqani was entirely responsible to the last word for
the content of the memorandum. Its authenticity is in its content a** I as
a private American citizen living far away from the machinations of
Islamabada**s politics a** could not have known a thing of what he wanted
to go into the memoranduma**s contents.
The agreement we made was that he would talk and I would type. That
arrangement gave him plausible deniability in those very tense days, and I
was willing to take the heat at that time if it all went wrong. Today,
with the magnitude of lies your government was willing to tell (or perhaps
just out of sheer ignorance) in its public statements, I made a decision
to air the entire set of facts and let the Pakistani people judge for
themselves what the facts tell them.
Dawn: It was obviously a secret mission that you were entrusted with. Why
did you go public? Why did you write that op-ed for Financial Times? And
why more than four months after the memo was delivered to Admiral Mullen?
Mansoor Ijaz: Admiral Mullen served our country honourably for 43 years.
When he testified in the Senate armed services committee about ISI
malfeasance in attacks on US and Nato interests in the region, your press
lambasted him and made his engagement with Pakistan a** he was probably
your countrya**s truest friend in America a** a joke.
As an American, who has enjoyed the partnerships and friendships of some
of Americaa**s most decorated military and intelligence chiefs, I simply
did not accept that Pakistana**s press would assassinate the character and
reputation of Adm. Mullen for his right and true comments about the
duplicities in Pakistana**s policies and actions.
Thata**s why I wrote the op-ed. As a journalist, you will appreciate that
in op-ed writing, the thesis of the author a** in my case, the policy
prescription for how to handle ISI malfeasance a** requires him to have
some authenticity to say whatever it is he says in the piece. I alluded to
the memo because I had to bring out the one sentence I cited about
shutting down Section S of the ISI that Adm. Mullen had seen months before
in reviewing the memorandum. It was only for this authenticity component
that I opened my piece with the section on the memo. There was no other
nefarious intent a** in fact, when Amb Haqqani called me a few minutes
after the piece was published, his only concern was that it would lead
immediately to identifying him as the author of the memo. He asked me
point blank who were the other senior people I knew in Pakistan so he
could put the press off on a wild goose chase.
There was an element of pre-meditation in everything Husain Haqqani did in
this saga a** not from me, but from him. The timing of the op-ed piece was
simply set after the hearings in which Admiral Mullen appeared on Sept
22nd. I wrote the piece on the 23rd of September but because of the
Eurozonea**s financial meltdown, it was nearly impossible to get it in
until Oct 10th.
Dawn: Some people do not understand why President Zardari and Amb Haqqani
(as Mr Ijaz claims) had to send a memo on such a sensitive subject? Why
did not they send an oral message? What do you think caused them to send a
written message?
Mansoor Ijaz: Good question a** it was their intent to do all of this
verbally. But my US interlocutor who sent the memorandum to Admiral Mullen
insisted on having the ambassadora**s offers put in writing because the US
government had been repeatedly deceived by Pakistana**s verbal offers of
action in the recent past. He also insisted that I obtain the
ambassadora**s assurance that President Zardari had approved the offers
contained in the memorandum. I did exactly those two things.
Dawn: Was it just one Pakistani official or someone else also involved?
Mansoor Ijaz: Only Amb Haqqani. He told me that others were with him in
Pakistan on this, but never really mentioned names other than that of
a**the bossa**.

A few interesting points from the memo. There are talks of the creation of

- Pakistan is appearing to agree to hand over MO, Siraj and Zawahiri

- Dissolving the S Section of the ISI which allegedly is the part of the

Geo News receives Mullen's secret memo
WASHINGTON: Geo News has received the controversial memo that was
allegedly given by Mansoor Ijaz, an American citizen of Pakistani origin,
to Admiral Mike Mullen who was the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
at the time.
Mansoor Ijaz has claimed that the memo was handed over to him by the
Pakistan Ambassador and was asked to deliver to the US president
containing message from the Pakistan government. The memo was sent to Adm
Mike Millen on May10 .
According to the memo, a commission will be formed to probe the presence
of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad as civil government is under army's
It has been demanded in the memo that Adm Mike Mullen should convey a
strict message to the army leadership.
"Request your direct intervention in conveying a strong, urgent and direct
message to Gen Kayani that delivers Washingtona**s demand for him and Gen
Pasha to end their brinkmanship aimed at bringing down the civilian
It is important to note that Adm Mike Mullen has confirmed the receiving
of the memo on Thursday.
Following is the complete text of memo.
During the past 72 hours since a meeting was held between the president,
the prime minister and the chief of army staff, there has seen a
significant deterioration in Pakistan's political atmosphere .
Increasingly desperate efforts by the various agencies and factions within
the government to find a home - ISI and/or Army, or the civilian
government - for assigning blame over the UBL raid now dominate the tug of
war between military and civilian sectors . Subsequent tit-for-tat
reactions, including outing of the CIA station chief's name in Islamabad
by ISI officials, demonstrates a dangerous devolution of the ground
situation in Islamabad where no central control appears to be in place .
Civilians cannot withstand much more of the hard pressure being delivered
from the Army to succumb to wholesale changes. If civilians are forced
from power, Pakistan becomes a sanctuary for UBL's legacy and potentially
the platform for far more rapid spread of al Qaeda's brand of fanaticism
and terror. A unique window of opportunity exists for the civilians to
gain the upper hand over army and intelligence directorates due to their
complicity in the UBL matter.
Request your direct intervention in conveying a strong, urgent and direct
message to Gen Kayani that delivers Washington's demand for him and Gen
Pasha to end their brinkmanship aimed at bringing down the civilian
apparatus - that this is a 1971 moment in Pakistan's history. Should you
be willing to do so, Washington's political/military backing would result
in a revamp of the civilian government that, while weak at the top echelon
in terms of strategic direction and implementation (even though mandated
by domestic political forces), in a wholesale manner replaces the national
security adviser and other national security officials with trusted
advisers that include ex-military and civilian leaders favorably viewed by
Washington, each of whom have long and historical ties to the US military,
political and intelligence communities. Names will be provided to you in a
face-to-face meeting with the person delivering this message .
In the event Washington's direct intervention behind the scenes can be
secured through your personal communication with Kayani (he will likely
listen only to you at this moment) to stand down the Pakistani
military-intelligence establishment, the new national security team is
prepared , with full backing of the civilian apparatus, to do the
1. President of Pakistan will order an independent inquiry into the
allegations that Pakistan harbored and offered assistance to UBL and other
senior Qaeda operatives. The White House can suggest names of independent
investigators to populate the panel, along the lines of the bipartisan
9-11 Commission, for example.
2. The inquiry will be accountable and independent, and result in findings
of tangible value to the US government and the American people that
identify with exacting detail those elements responsible for harboring and
aiding UBL inside and close to the inner ring of influence in Pakistan's
Government (civilian, intelligence directorates and military). It is
certain that the UBL Commission will result in immediate termination of
active service officers in the appropriate government offices and agencies
found responsible for complicity in assisting UBL.
3. The new national security team will implement a policy of either
handing over those left in the leadership of Al Qaeda or other affiliated
terrorist groups who are still on Pakistani soil, including Ayman Al
Zawahiri, Mullah Omar and Sirajuddin Haqqani, or giving US military forces
a "green light" to conduct the necessary operations to capture or kill
them on Pakistani soil . This "carte blanche" guarantee is not without
political risks, but should demonstrate the new group's commitment to
rooting out bad elements on our soil. This commitment has the backing of
the top echelon on the civilian side of our house, and we will insure
necessary collateral support.
4. One of the great fears of the military-intelligence establishment is
that with your stealth capabilities to enter and exit Pakistani airspace
at will, Pakistan's nuclear assets are now legitimate targets. The new
national security team is prepared, with full backing of the Pakistani
government - initially civilian but eventually all three power centers -
to develop an acceptable framework of discipline for the nuclear program .
This effort was begun under the previous military regime, with acceptable
results. We are prepared to reactivate those ideas and build on them in a
way that brings Pakistan's nuclear assets under a more verifiable,
transparent regime.
5. The new national security team will eliminate Section S of the ISI
charged with maintaining relations to the Taliban, Haqqani network, etc.
This will dramatically improve relations with Afghanistan .
6. We are prepared to cooperate fully under the new national security
team's guidance with the Indian government on bringing all perpetrators of
Pakistani origin to account for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, whether outside
government or inside any part of the government, including its
intelligence agencies. This includes handing over those against whom
sufficient evidence exists of guilt to the Indian security services.
Pakistan faces a decision point of unprecedented importance. We, who
believe in democratic governance and building a much better structural
relationship in the region with India AND Afghanistan, seek US assistance
to help us pigeon-hole the forces lined up against your interests and
ours, including containment of certain elements inside our country that
require appropriate re-sets and re-tasking in terms of direction and
extent of responsibility after the UBL affair.
We submit this memorandum for your consideration collectively as the
members of the new national security team who will be inducted by the
President of Pakistan with your support in this undertaking.

Subject: G3* - US/PAKISTAN/GV - Pakistan ambassador to US denies seeking
political asylum
Pakistan ambassador to US denies seeking political asylum
Text of report by Anwar Iqbal headlined "Not seeking US asylum: Haqqani"
published by Pakistani newspaper Dawn website on 18 November
Washington, Nov 17: Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States, Husain
Haqqani, told Dawn on Thursday that he was not seeking political asylum in
America and had already made plans to visit Islamabad to share with the
government whatever information he had about an alleged letter that has
strained relations between the country's civilian and military
"No way! Totally false," said the ambassador when shown the link to a news
item carried in major Indian newspapers saying that he had applied for
political asylum in the United States. "I am on way to Pakistan," he added
while rejecting the suggestion that he was afraid to visit Islamabad
because he may be detained there. He said he had already booked a seat on
a plane to Pakistan and was hoping to leave Washington for home on Friday.
"I have offered to resign. And I will wait for President Zardari's
decision. No question of seeking asylum. Those who sought asylum in the US
are the ones leading the media campaign against President Zardari these
days," the ambassador said.
Mr Haqqani said his offer to resign was "in conjunction with an offer to
face an inquiry". And the purpose behind this offer was "to bring to an
end the current controversy and allow the democratic government, for which
I have worked very hard, to move on", the ambassador said.
"Our country and government face real challenges. I do not want this
non-issue of an insignificant memo written by a private individual and not
considered credible by its lone recipient to undermine democracy."
Mr Haqqani said he did not know why he was being implicated in this
controversy as he "did not write or deliver the so-called memo". He also
criticised "the back and forth media manipulation" triggered by an article
written by a private individual.
This was being exploited by "opponents of Pakistani democracy to drive a
wedge between our civil and military leaders. That individual might
consider his ego more important than Pakistan, I do not," he said.
Mr Haqqani, who has served as Pakistan's ambassador to the US since 2008,
said he was still the country's envoy in Washington and would travel to
Islamabad as a serving ambassador.
On Wednesday, the ambassador sent a letter to the president, offering to
step down to stop the controversy.
Mansoor Ijaz, a Pakistan-American businessman, claimed in a Financial
Times article last month that he had, on President Zardari's instructions
and with the help of a top diplomat, drafted and delivered a memo to the
then US military chief Admiral Mike Mullen seeking his support against a
possible military coup against President Zardari.
The Pakistani government has rejected the claim as malicious and "a total
Ambassador Haqqani, while talking to journalists from his official
residence in Washington, said he had good relations with Admiral Mullen,
professionally and personally. However, he did not believe that the
admiral, even in his old post as the Chief of Joint Staff, had the power
to bring about any change in the Pakistani top brass. That power, the
envoy said, remained with President Zardari.
The ambassador said he was being made a scapegoat for doing his job, of
maintaining good relations with the United States. He added that Ijaz was
blackmailing him by threatening to publish BlackBerry messenger
conversations over a secret mission he had been tasked with.
When questioned about allegations levelled by Imran Khan that Haqqani had
been subverting the army through his actions, the ambassador adopted a
questioning tone towards Ijaz saying "ask Mansoor Ijaz why he wrote the
article? And why he was now making the claims in public?"

As the aftermath of the tsunami unfolds in Japan, it has repercussions around the world and will for a long time. The overall effect on U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to be about 0.5 percent, which means that the U.S. economy will grow a bit more slowly than originally thought.
Nevertheless, if your investment portfolio is diversified, you should be seeing some areas perform while others decline. For example, oil and gas stocks have moved up as investors understand that Japan will increase its demand in other areas of energy as the government shuts down its nuclear plants.
U.S. Treasuries have rallied as investors see investing in U.S. Treasuries as a safe vehicle in which to park their money for now. In the long term, based on economic estimates, it will take Japan many years to recover and therefore many of the country's leading companies will perform poorly. I do believe that other non-Japanese businesses in the U.S. and emerging markets will pick up the slack as many Japanese services and manufacturing centers have been shut down. These non-Japanese companies will be able to win through adding market share. In addition, the Japanese government will be spending massive amounts of funds on the rebuilding of the country's infrastructure. That means positive growth for the many companies and industries that will be needed to help the Japanese government restore its country and economy. Investors in the stock market do not like uncertainty and we have a lot of it with the potential nuclear meltdown in Japan to the riots and unrest in Libya and Bahrain. I do believe that the U.S. market has sold off more than enough to compensate for this uncertainty. From the Feb. 18, 2011, close of the S&P 500 at 1344.01, the market has declined by 6.5 percent.
Even though there are so many crises happening at the same time, there are many positives for the U.S. economy and emerging markets. I believe we will see new demand for commodities and infrastructure-type companies used in the rebuilding of Japan's roads, bridges, buildings and plants. Also, keep in mind increased demand for energy and agriculture.

In order for us to get true Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in our workplaces today, we have to change the way we think, talk and do D&I. We have to move from identity-based D&I to perspectives-based D&I. We have to shift from an "us vs. them" focus to a collective intelligence mindset.
This change allows everyone (regardless of identity) to feel invested in D&I, and people in historically underrepresented groups to be seen as individuals instead of members of a monolithic group. Although challenging for many reasons (resistance to change being the most onerous!), this change is necessary if we want to move from activity (of which there is plenty) to results (of which there are little).
Many D&I programs today are formed around immutable identities and draw rigid boundaries around the groups they're set up to support and advance. Women. People of color. Gays and lesbians. People with disabilities. These programs equate "diverse" with "underrepresented" and "inclusion" with "equal opportunity." Although the end goals of D&I are indeed full representation of all voices and equal opportunity for everyone to succeed regardless of their identities, the way we're currently doing D&I is not only not getting us to the end goals, but we may be drifting away from the goals toward diversity fatigue and inclusion inertia.
You need look no further than the most recent research on diversity in C-suites, on boards and in the upper echelons of any industry to see, while we may be doing a lot, we aren't getting a lot done. The identity-based paradigm predominant today worked relatively well through the 1980s, 1990s and even into this new millennium, but as we look at the data behind what these programs are achieving today, it's evident that what we're doing is no longer driving what we want to achieve.
Replacing identity-based D&I with perspectives-based D&I isn't merely a semantic or even a programmatic shift. It's a radical change in how we approach and create the change we want to achieve. This change from D&I circa last century to D&I today is the focus of the insights and tools in The Next IQ: The Next Level of Intelligence for 21st Century Leaders. Based on cutting-edge research, which reveals that seeking and integrating diverse perspectives leads individuals to better decisions, more innovation and faster insight. And, the perspectives-based D&I model based on The Next IQ focuses on individuals seeking and integrating different perspectives to do their best work. This change, then, is about moving past D&I as an "us vs. them" proposition to D&I as an "in my personal best interest" investment.
In this model, D&I isn't about doing something for someone else or having someone do something for you. It's about doing something that enhances your intelligence because today's world and work environments require you to be able to see and account for multiple perspectives in order for you to find the best solutions for rapidly changing problems. While companies like Google, Starbucks and Netflix have leveraged diverse perspectives for innovative success, the model works just as well for smaller organizations or individuals who want to take their leadership skills to the next level.
The shift to this model, however, isn't without challenges. No matter how much we seek different perspectives, we also have strong unconscious preferences for similarities, comfort and predictability that make it difficult to seek and choose differences over the status quo. Creating a greater degree of awareness about these preferences and teaching concrete ways to circumvent them are prerequisites for shifting to The Next IQ D&I. These preferences are the intellectual crevices within which our presumptions, biases and prejudices lie, so working through them allows us to ensure our workplaces are truly working equally for everyone, not just a privileged few. By making D&I about the value of different perspectives, we're actually better able to confront the reasons why differences divide us as much as they do.
D&I is about change. But to obtain it, we have to be willing to change the way we seek it.

Saab 9-5 Lease Questions
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello ron4x. Saab publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. The current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2006 Saab 9-5 2.3T Sedan are 2.69% and 52%, respectively. There is no lease cash on this car at this time.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515You're right, Hersheytx1, consumers should absolutely negotiate the selling prices of the vehicle that they want to lease. However, Saab is a little different than Jeep in that the cash incentives that it provides on vehicles are not compatible with its special lease program. Consumers who pay cash for or finance their '06 9-5 through an independent bank can take advantage of the $2,500 dealer cash that is currently available on it, but no consumers who lease through Saab Financial Services Corp.

edisaac Posts: 15My lease on a 2002 sportwagon is up this month. Went in yesterday to see what they can do on another lease. For an '06 Combi they are quoting me a 27 month lease, 12k miles/yr., $500 loyalty rebate, upfront cash of $1400 -- pymts = $468. The MSRP is $37170, the sale price is $34,881. The rate (no money factor) is 3.69% with a residual of $25275.60. Good, average, can I do better? Any feedback is much appreciated. BTW for 15k miles/year the monthly is $482.77.
sidv Posts: 64Considering replacing my 9-3 with a 9-5. Dealer offered 500 dollars in loyalty cash. I've seen at least one post where 750 dollars was offered. Is this a standard amount or is it subject to game playing like most every other financial piece of a purchase/lease transaction? (would be lease in my case)

makarka Posts: 8Hi,
I am looking to lease 2006 Saab 9-5 4-Dr Sedan with metallic paint, ventilated leather seats, automatic transmission, and visibility package (MSRP $39,480). The car is a demo with 5000 miles on it, and after all rebates and discounts they are selling it for $28,928. The terms of the lease are the following:
39 months
12K miles/year
$0 out of pocket
$513/month + tax
Does this sound like a good deal? If not, keeping everything else the same what kind of monthly payment should I be shooting for?
Thanks. -

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Here's the info that you're looking for, rpzb. Saab Financial Services Corp.'s current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Saab 9-5 Sedan with 12,000 miles per year are 3.5% and 51%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan are 4.25% and 56%. As you can see, Saab publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. you can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello makarka. At first glance, over $500 a month sounds like a lot of money to pay for a demo 2006 9-5 that already has 5,000 miles on it to me. I think that the problem here is that Saab is no longer providing lease support on 2006 models. The dealer that you are working with must be running this lease through an independent bank that does not have a very attractive program for this model.
For the sake of comparison, let's work up a lease payment on a similar 2007 model and see how much it would cost to lease right now. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2007 Saab 9-5 (non-Aero) with an MSRP of $39,305 and a selling price of $36,905 (dealer invoice) through Saab Financial Services right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $497. As you can see, this is already less than the lease that you were quoted and it is for a brand new car without any miles and a 2007 model.
If you're really set on getting the demo 2006 model, you probably would be better off financing it at 0% for 5 years rather than leasing it.

saablcp Posts: 195Car_man....your response to that question was totally spot-on.I was going to respond in kind until I saw your post.This particular dealer may not be happy with your advice in as much as they would rather move the aged unit.At the prices the '06's are available for I can't imagine they will have a problem finding a happy home for it.The 2006 9-5 sedan or wagon is absolutely the most amazing bargain on the market at present.
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello TMK. Here's the information that you are looking for. Saab Financial Services Corp.'s current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Saab 9-5 Sport Combi with 15,000 miles per year are 3.35% and 55%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 24 month lease are 3.35% and 68%. Let me know if you have any other questions.

phollie Posts: 45folks,
I've got a 2004 Aero 9-5 Wagon that has about 18 months to go on a 4 year lease. So far, unlike my prior Saabs, this car has been flawless. My question is, what should I do as far as the lease goes. If I keep driving at the present rate, I'll be at 62000 miles on a 48,000 lease. Also, my warranty is up at 50k too if I'm not mistaken.
Should I try to get out now? Consider an extended warranty and try keeping it next year? Its about $10k upside down at this point. Thanks. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi phollie. I'm sorry to hear that you are going to exceed your car's mileage allowance by so much. Unfortunately, it is probably going to be very expensive for you to terminate your lease at this point. Your best option is probably to wait until the scheduled end of your lease. At that point you will either have to turn your car in and have to pay an excess mileage penalty or purchase it from the bank that you are leasing it through. Purchasing a Saab at the end of a lease is probably not a good idea unless the bank that you are leasing it through is willing to negotiate your car's purchase option price. If they won't there is a very good chance that it would cost more to purchase your car than it is worth on the open market. The bottom line is that there is a good chance that your least expensive option will be to just pay your car's excess mileage penalty at the scheduled end of your lease.

saablcp Posts: 195The reality of your situation is less dire than it seems,especially when comparing the cost of terminating now vs.your potential over mileage costs.No vehicles under lease are anywhere near an equal balance of market value vs payoff with 18 months left on the lease.If I presume a monthly payment of $500 per month it would cost you approximately $7-$9,000.00 to end the lease now.If your projection of 14,000 miles overage is correct @$.20/per mile,you are looking at $2,800 in over mileage charges.....not chump change but definitely a lesser cost to you vs. terminating now.Once you get to within 4 or 5 months of the end of your lease you should revisit the math again. At that point the additional remaining payments vs. the mileage charges you are incurring may make terminating then more of an equal cost option.
davehane Posts: 2Hi,
I'd like to lease a 2007 9-5 Aero Sedan. In playing around with various lease calculators, I don't seem to be able to get a least payment much below $650/mo (36 mo, 12k mi). I am wondering what terms I can expect with today's environment. One thing that I think I'm seeing in my area (Minneapolis) is $3000 cash back on such a purchase/lease. Thanks. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi davehane. Through July 9th, Saab is providing $3,000 customer cash on the 2007 9-5. Unfortunately, this cash is not compatible with its special lease program. I would be happy to give you an idea of how much the specific 9-5 that you are interested in would cost to lease right now. In order for me to do so I need you to provide me with its MSRP and approximate selling price. Let me know what these numbers are and I'll run a payment for you.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Thanks for the additional information, davehane. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2007 Saab Aero Sedan that has an MSRP of $40,030 and a selling price of $37,621 through Saab's captive finance company right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $496.

I desire to lease a similar 2007 model. List price is $37,000. with a $34,000. selling price. I have been quoted:
$1,500. down
$415. plus tax for 39 months. Isn't this too high considering Saab is offering $419. per month with $2,000. down for 27 months?

Marc Trestman wants Brian Urlacher to return to the Bears
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com March 20, 2013 12:00PM
Brian Urlacher

- Report: Bears get DE Turk McBride
- Twitter reaction: Fans respond to Brian Urlacher, Bears news
Updated: March 20, 2013 6:28PM
PHOENIX — Bears coach Marc Trestman was clear as can be. He and his coaching staff still see value in veteran linebacker Brian Urlacher and want him to return.
It's just a matter of getting the right deal for the Bears.
"We evaluated Brian and we think he can help our football team — no doubt about it, we do. " Trestman said Wednesday during the NFC coaches breakfast during the NFL annual meetings at the Arizona Biltmore."[But] that's the coaching side of it. The coaching side is that we've made an evaluation and feel good about having Brian back. Not just from a locker-room perspective, but as a player on a football team.
"We've established that as a staff and then the rest is the process, the collective process of what is best for the Bears. There is a lot that goes into that. There's more to it than just the football side. There's a lot that goes into it. That's the best interests of the Bears. That's where we are.
"Things have been written and things have been said. I don't know how much is true and how much isn't, but I know that [general manager] Phil [Emery] and [vice president of business administration] Cliff [Stein] are actively working to try and resolve the issue, and I trust that process."
Trestman said that during his last conversation with Urlacher two weeks ago that he made it clear that he and his staff hoped that he returned with the Bears.
"I had two or three more social discussions with him early on," Trestman said. "My last discussion with him was to be very specific with him that we hoped it would work out. And that as much as his locker room [presence] is important, we felt collectively as a staff that he could and would be playing for us -- that we wanted him to be here to play for us. I think that he could make our football team better on the field. That's where we left it."
Urlacher is an unrestricted free agent, who turns 35 in May and has injury concerns. He may not be able to run like he used to -- Trestman indicated that he may be best utilized on first and second downs -- but he is coming off an effective season in 2012.
According to the Bears' final statistics, Urlacher finished with 86 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, four quarterback pressures, seven pass breakups, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one interception returned for a touchdown.
Trestman stressed that he understands what Urlacher means to the Bears' locker room, but he focused on evaluating him as a player.
"I think that the first place is on the football field," Trestman said. "We've established on the football field that he can help our team, and the rest of it is great value as well. That's where we are from that standpoint. But there's more to it than that. There's more pieces than just that. ... We're never going to do anything that's not in the best interests of the team."

Zedekiah's death at Babylon foretold. (1-7) The Jews reproved for compelling their poor brethren to return to unlawful bondage. (8-22)
Verses 1-7 Zedekiah is told that the city shall be taken, and that he shall die a captive, but he shall die a natural death. It is better to live and die penitent in a prison, than to live and die impenitent in a palace.
Verses 8-22 A Jew should not be held in servitude above seven years. This law they and their fathers had broken. And when there was some hope that the siege was raised, they forced the servants they had released into their services again. Those who think to cheat God by dissembled repentance and partial reformation, put the greatest cheat upon their own souls. This shows that liberty to sin, is really only liberty to have the sorest judgments. It is just with God to disappoint expectations of mercy, when we disappoint the expectations of duty. And when reformation springs only from terror, it is seldom lasting. Solemn vows thus entered into, profane the ordinances of God; and the most forward to bind themselves by appeals to God, are commonly most ready to break them. Let us look to our hearts, that our repentance may be real, and take care that the law of God regulates our conduct.
Jeremiah 34:1-22 . CAPTIVITY OF ZEDEKIAH AND THE PEOPLE FORETOLD FOR THEIR DISOBEDIENCE AND PERFIDY.
The prophecy ( Jeremiah 34:1-7 ) as to Zedekiah is an amplification of that in Jeremiah 32:1-5 , in consequence of which Jeremiah was then shut up in the court of the prison. The prophecy ( Jeremiah 34:8-22 ) refers to the Jews, who, afraid of the capture of the city, had, in obedience to the law, granted freedom to their servants at the end of seven years, but on the intermission of the siege forced them back into bondage.
1. Jerusalem and . . . all the cities that, in such a desperate position, he should reject admonition.
3. ( Jeremiah 32:4 ).
4, 5. Mitigation of Zedekiah's punishment.
5. the burnings of thy fathers--Thy funeral shall be honored with the same burning of aromatic spices as there was at the funerals of thy fathers ( 2 Chronicles 16:14 , 21:19 ). The honors here mentioned were denied to Jehoiakim ( Jeremiah 22:18 ).
Ah, lord!--The Hebrews in their chronology (Sederolam) mention the wailing used over him, "Alas! King Zedekiah is dead, drinking the dregs (that is, paying the penalty for the sins) of former ages."
7. these . . . retained--alone (compare 2 Chronicles 11:5 2 Chronicles 11:9 ).
8. By the law a Hebrew, after having been a bond-servant for six years, on the seventh was to be let go free ( Exodus 21:22 , Deuteronomy 15:12 ).
Zedekiah made a covenant--with solemn ceremonial in the temple ( Jeremiah 34:15 Jeremiah 34:18 Jeremiah 34:19 ).
them--bond-servants ( Jeremiah 34:9 ).
9. none . . . serve himself of a Jew--( Leviticus 25:39-46 ).
11. During the interruption of the siege by Pharaoh-hophra (compare Jeremiah 34:21 Jeremiah 34:22 , with Jeremiah 37:5-10 ), the Jews reduced their servants to bondage again.
13. The last year of Zedekiah was the sabbatical year. How just the retribution, that they who, against God's law and their own covenant, enslaved their brethren, should be doomed to bondage themselves: and that the bond-servants should enjoy the sabbatical freedom at the hands of the foe ( Jeremiah 52:16 ) which their own countrymen denied them!
14. At the end of seven years--that is, not on the eighth year, but within the limit of the seventh year, not later than the end of the seventh year ( Exodus 21:2 , 23:10 , Deuteronomy 15:12 ). So "at the end of three years" ( Deuteronomy 14:28 , 2 Kings 18:10 ), and "after three days, I will rise again" ( Matthew 27:63 ), that is, on the third day (compare Matthew 27:64 ).
15. in the house . . . called by my name--the usual place of making such covenants ( 2 Kings 23:3 ; compare 1 Kings 8:31 , Nehemiah 10:29 ).
16. polluted my name--by violating your oath ( Exodus 20:7 ).
17. not . . . proclaiming liberty--Though the Jews had ostensibly emancipated their bond-servants, they virtually did not do so by revoking the liberty which they had granted. God looks not to outward appearances, but to the sincere intention.
I proclaim a liberty--retribution answering to the offense ( Matthew 7:2 , Matthew 18:32 Matthew 18:33 , Galatians 6:7 , 2:13 ). The Jews who would not give liberty to their brethren shall themselves receive "a liberty" calamitous to them. God will manumit them from His happy and safe service ( Psalms 121:3 ), which is real "liberty" ( Psalms 119:45 , John 8:36 , 2 Corinthians 3:17 ), only to pass under the terrible bondage of other taskmasters, the "sword," &c.
to be removed--The Hebrew expresses agitation Deuteronomy 28:25 Deuteronomy 28:48 Deuteronomy 28:64 Deuteronomy 28:65 , as to the restless agitation of the Jews in their ceaseless removals from place to place in their dispersion.
18. passed between the parts thereof--The contracting parties in the "covenant" (not here the law in general, but their covenant made before God in His house to emancipate their slaves, Jeremiah 34:8 Jeremiah 34:9 ) passed through the parts of the animal cut in two, implying that they prayed so to be cut in sunder ( Matthew 24:51 ; Greek, "cut in two") if they should break the covenant ( Genesis 15:10 Genesis 15:17 ).
20. I will even give--resuming the sentence begun, but not completed ( Jeremiah 34:18 ), "I will give," &c.
seek their life--implacably: satisfied with nothing short of their blood; not content with booty.
dead bodies--The breakers of the covenant shall be cut in pieces, as the calf between whose parts they passed.
21. gone up--that is, raised the siege in order to meet Pharaoh-hophra ( Jeremiah 37:7-10 ). The departure of the Chaldeans was a kind of manumission of the Jews; but as their manumission of their bond-servants was recalled, so God revoked His manumission of them from the Chaldeans.
22. I will command--Nebuchadnezzar, impelled unconsciously by a divine instigation, returned on the withdrawal of the Egyptians.

3D will probably get a boost when the glassless 3Dtvs and 4kHDTVs come out. Right now the format is stuck in limbo. One of the main reasons 3DTV has not caught on is the very expensive and bulky glasses, but it might change peoples minds and "i would give it a try" if i did not have to buy and wear the specs.

Wrestling Boner
Not a boner but damn, DAT ASS!! I just had to post this.
^ ^ ^ when did my computer screen go 3-D??? ^ ^ ^
drenched guys ... long-haired guys ... foodsex guys ...
Wow awesome boners
All the pics in this thread are awesome. I have never wrestled or been to a meet and wonder what these guys wear under their singlets. It looks like nothing and I was wondering why they don't wear a jock or compression shorts. Or is it just they want to show off their cocks?
Many wrestlers wear underwear.. briefs. But some don't. Some wear jockstraps or no undies. A cup is considered uncomfortable by most wrestlers. That's more for sports like baseball, to protect. Compression shorts, some wear those. Also there is discussion whether or not to replace the singlet with shirt and shorts, similar to what they wear in MMA.
Wrestlers are not thinking about their dicks when they wrestle. They are too focused on winning the match. Comfort is the most important for them. Regularly you see wrestlers adjusting their dick, because they want to feel comfortable and be able to focus on the match.
Someone enjoyed the match a little too much
Yeah, that pic was posted and discussed in this thread before. It's photoshopped.. the original was posted in the thread too. Good job though. They should photoshop more like that.

About MShutts's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I first fell in love with Mustangs before I even knew what a Mustang was. I was seven or eight years old and when my family would travel into Beatrice, NE we'd see this body shop that had a row of '70 Mach 1's parked next to it. I didn't know what a Mustang was but I knew that I wanted a Mach 1.
I got my Uncle's '70 Mustang when I was 17. It had been parked next to a barn for 22 years and had flood water get into it a couple times. It was a mess. I drug it out of the sunk in holes that it settled into and my Dad and had it running again later the same day. I spent my whole summer working on the car getting it cleaned up and learning a little about bodywork, mechanicals, the importance of good brakes, and wiring. It was a time I'll always look back and smile about. My Dad and I working on it together is one reason why I wish I still had that car around.
My first car
My first car was a '76 Delta 88, two door with a 455 ci 4 barrel that a little old lady drove before me.
My dream car
1970 Mustang Mach 1, 428 Cobra Jet, 4 speed, Graber Orange, Twister Edition. I've found one that the original owner has sitting out under a lean-to shed. It is in fantastic condition. Spoke with him a couple times over the years and he is starting to think about selling it but not quite there.

Books | Alan Sillitoe, channeling the angry young football man
Alan Sillitoe's work was on the syllabus in my short-story class as a college freshman. Naturally, the story considered most representative was "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner," consisting of a teenage cross-country runner's interior dialogues upon liberation each day from the Borstal fetters ("I'm a human being and I've got thoughts and secrets and bloody life inside me …").
But a fresh assessment on Sillitoe's 80th birthday today suggests that the short story "The Match," which takes its tone from the terrace gloaming at Notts County's Meadow Lane, might be the best introduction. (Mar 4)

Foodservice remains a big business for distributors in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., region.
Many report sales increases.
Demand in the past several years has increased, thanks in part to the bigger presence of celebrity chefs and investors wanting to capitalize on the chefs' popularity, said Kevin Keany, president of Keany Produce Co., Landover, Md.
Keany cites two restaurants — Volt in Frederick, Md., and the Range in Washington, D.C. — which celebrity or high profile chefs opened.
"A lot of celebrity chefs bring a fair amount of buzz to this area," Keany said.
"When investors and these chefs find one successful concept, they open other concepts. They collaborate with one another at times and will open a restaurant that a couple of celebrity chefs have an interest in."
Foodservice demand remains strong, he said.
"The restaurant business is moving well here," Keany said. "Demand over the last year has increased. More people are staying in town."
In the past, Keany said it seemed like many people would leave town when Congress went into recess, and visit places including Ocean City, Md.
With the new energy many feel, distributors don't really see that migration much anymore, Keany said.
The huge dips don't occur as much and business remains fairly stable, he said.
The many activities people can enjoy in the city keep business hopping, Keany said.
Rebounding economy
Sal Cefalu, owner and director of Jessup, Md.-based CGC Holdings, the parent company of G. Cefalu & Bro. Inc. and Capital Seaboard, said restaurant movement has improved.
"Things aren't bad in this area," Cefalu said.
"There's money in this area and with the economy getting better, even when things weren't so good, people were still eating. We are seeing that people have sort of gotten back to normal compared to five years ago when things were nasty.
"Then, people were being careful with their money and not spending it unwisely. Today, everyone has returned to normal. They have jobs and things are going relatively well for them."
That normal lifestyle helps keep foodservice sales strong, Cefalu said.
Young crowd
The influx of younger diners is helping sales, said Tony Vitrano, president of the Tony Vitrano Co., Jessup.
"A lot of places in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., appeal to the younger people," Vitrano said. "They're the types that go out to eat a lot."

The Compassionate Servant: Developing a Habit of Loving Well is an empowered learning and reflective process where students have the opportunity to apply the rich biblical and theological instruction they receive in the classroom by showing compassion to people in need.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)?
- As part of DTS's reaffirmation of accreditation, we are required by one of our accrediting bodies, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (which also accredits schools like Texas A&M and Georgia Tech), to implement a new program that enhances the overall educational experience of students.
- What is "The Compassionate Servant"?
- Our QEP project adds a Service-Learning component to the DTS curriculum that focuses on engaging people on the fringes of society (homeless, elderly, refugees, etc.).
- How will my classes change?
Starting in fall 2014, in some courses you will see an optional Compassion Project in the syllabus that you may choose to do in place of a paper or project.
- What will be required for a Compassion Project?
- Students will be required to spend about 15 hours per Compassion Project throughout the semester interacting with and ministering to people in need of compassion, such as the homeless, the elderly, those with physical limitations, or refugees. After investing this time in interpersonal ministry, you will be expected to write a brief reflection, describing what you learned during the experience, probably reflecting on a specific topic related to your course. See your course syllabus for specific instructions.
- Who is required to do this?
- Compassion Projects are optional in academic year 2014–2015. It is proposed that starting fall 2015, all incoming ThM students will be required to complete at least four Compassion Projects before graduating.
- What does this mean for current students?
- If you are a current student, nothing has changed with your curriculum. You are not required to complete any Compassion Projects, but professors would love for you to join. If you see a Compassion Project in your syllabus, let your professor know that you would like to do the assignment.
