LONDON (AP) - Officials familiar with the decision tell The Associated Press the IOC has stripped Lance Armstrong of his bronze medal from the 2000 Sydney Olympics because of his involvement in doping.
Two officials say the IOC sent a letter to Armstrong on Wednesday night asking him to return the medal. The move came after the IOC was notified by cycling's governing body that Armstrong had not appealed the decision to disqualify him.
The officials spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the decision hasn't been announced.
The IOC executive board discussed revoking the medal last month, but delayed a decision until cycling body UCI formally notified Armstrong he had been stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and all results since 1998. He then had 21 days to appeal.
With the deadline expired, the IOC decided to take the medal away.

World Anti-Doping Agency director general David Howman says his organisation has had no approach from cyclist Lance Armstrong that would indicate he is about to admit using performance-enhancing drugs.
But Howman, who is holidaying in his native New Zealand, told the Sunday Star-Times newspaper he had an "open line" should Armstrong wish to make contact.
The New York Times on Friday quoted anonymous sources as saying Armstrong, who has strongly denied the doping charges that led to him being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, is considering admitting drug use.
The Times said "according to several people with direct knowledge of the situation" Armstrong might seek a meeting with Howman. But Howman told the Star-Times "Wada hasn't, and I haven't, had any approach from Armstrong or his legal team."

Don't tell me you didn't see this coming: Congress passes health care reform and days later, scammers start peddling phony health insurance policies.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius wrote to state officials Tuesday to urge them to get the word out about scams.
"Unfortunately, scam artists and criminals may be using the passage of these historic reforms as an opportunity to confuse and defraud the public," Sebelius said in a letter to state insurance commissioners and attorneys general.
In the letter and in a speech at the National Press Club, she described reports of people setting up toll-free numbers and going door-to-door selling phony policies, in some cases claiming that the new law established a limited enrollment period for buying government-subsidized insurance. Don't buy their lies.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is wrapping up his final round of meetings as head of the U.S. central bank today. He could announce the scaling back of federal bond buying.

Most people don't want Kinect because of the way it's been used this gen; gimmicky games and over-the-top movements. People will be much more likely to use it if it's subtle and doesn't change the way we play games too much, like what's been described here. A small push with the controller, not a massive wave of the arms. Developers need to be very careful with how they use it and try and introduce it slowly, one step at a time. I, also, like how this game doesn't just use Kinect, but SmartGlass, too. I didn't think I would buy this game, but I really commend them on how their integrating Microsoft's new features (and not going all out crazy with them) and will probably pick it up when the price drops.

Wow, had a great hummer day today! Please don't laugh, those of you lucky ones who have been posting great hummer sightings. I have been waiting very patiently for more hummer activity, since I had only one hummer feeding for a few sips early morning and late evening. Today, I had a male and female feeding off and on most of the day,going from one feeder to another hanging in small trees. One hummer even tried a bloom, and with binoculars I watched him perched on a limb and peck on some leaves (maybe feeding on insects?) No activity at the window jewel box, which I purchased this year - very disappointed. I hope they hang around, and I will be up early in the morning to watch. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Congradulations! I am happy that you are having success with the birds. The male will most likely move on in a week or two. The female resides there and most likely you will be seeing her offspring shortly. Hopefully, you will also have many more during the fall migration. If you had one female this year most likely you will have more than one next year. Enjoy! |
Thank you,misss for your information. I moved to another location, same city, so I can't compare my hummer activity with last year. I had many more hummers last year, and enjoyed watching the hummers up close at two window feeders. Maybe some will venture to the window feeder this year. I noticed an interesting article in our local Baton Rouge newspaper today, which follows. "I have noticed fewer hummingbirds this year than in previous years. What effect did the BP oil spill have on their migration?" Answer: "Hummingbird numbers may undergo local fluctuations, but there is no evience of an overall decline," said Steven W. Cardiff, bird collections manager at LSU's Museum of Natural Science. "It's unlikely that the oil disaster would have impacted hummingbirds because they generally avoid marshlands during migration, and they do not nest closer to the coast," said Cardiff, who's doing a survey of birds on the coast. The ruby-throated hummingbird is the most common visitor to Baton Rouge feeders and gardens in the summer. "Hummingbirds are hard to predict, some may be nesting in the yard; others are migrants. Their numbers may seem diluted simly because there are now so many feeders and gardens that attract hummingbirds, or because nearby hummingbird nesting habitat (forest) has been lost." Numbers increase from mid-summer through early September as migrants pass through Baton Rouge on their way to Central America. (Kinda lengthy, but I wanted to share this information from an expert) |
My grandchildren are visiting, and they are enjoying the hummers feeding. We are watching thru binoculars to get really close up details. My daughter taking pictures. I think we only females right now,but the grandchildren are learning about hummers.Fun, fun! |
What is a window jewel box? Thanks. I hung a Wild Birds Unlimited hummer feeder on my patio door window this year, and they have not found it. I am stubborn and will not move it. Hope they find it before they leave this fall! :) Anyone have a tip on how to get them to find a window feeder? |

Top 10 Apple insights: iPhone 6 rampant, iPad stutters and Apple Watch arriving in April
Nvidia has unveiled its Tegra 4i processor with LTE connection integration, which it claims can handle all smartphones' major functions.
The 4i mobile chip is integrated with the Nvidia i500 LTE modem and offers up to 2.3GHz processor speeds. It also comes packed with a quad-core CPU based on the ARM Cortex A9 R4 architecture.
"Nvidia is delivering for the first time a single, integrated processor that powers all the major functions of a smartphone," said senior vice president of the mobile business at Nvidia Phil Carmack in a statement.
"Tegra 4i phones will provide amazing computing power, world-class phone capabilities, and exceptionally long battery life."
Nvidia's Tegra 4i mobile processor uses the same GPU architecture as the firm's Tegra 4 mobile processor. According to the company, the GPU offers five times the speed of previous generation Tegra 3 chips.
Built into the Tegra 4i is an LTE radio modem. The integration marks Nvidia's first chip with LTE integration. Until the Tegra 4i, only Qualcomm had released a mobile processor with LTE integration to the market.
The Tegra 4i, codenamed Project Grey, was jointly designed by Nvidia and ARM. Both firms tout the chip as one of the most efficient on the market.
ARM's executive vice president and general manager of the processor division Tom Cronk says the chip has been optimised for efficiency in areas such as streaming.
"ARM and Nvidia worked closely to further optimise the Cortex-A9 processor to drive performance and efficiency in areas such as streaming and responsiveness," said Cronk.
"This is an example of the collaboration and innovation that enables ARM technology-based solutions to be market drivers through multiple generations of SoC solutions."
ARM has been gaining steam in the mobile chip arena in recent years. The firm's designs are currently used in a variety of mobile handsets. ARM also produces the design for the processor found in Microsoft's Surface RT tablet.
Nvidia has yet to announce any smartphones that will use the recently announced chip. The firm is currently offering potential partners a reference phone code-named the "Phoenix" to test out the Tegra 4i.
The firm will also show off the new chip at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain later this month.
Nvidia has been pushing to get into the mobile chip market in recent years. The firm made a name for itself by offering processors for desktops and notebooks. However, in recent years the downturn of those markets has caused the firm to explore other avenues.

Argie ratbags have a sook about Falklands military exercise
The Argentinians may as well give up, they are broke, march backwards and are never, ever going to get the Falklands back.
Argentina has accused Britain of provocative behaviour by planning to carry out military exercises in the Falkland Islands next week.
Deputy foreign minister Eduardo Zuain summoned the British Ambassador in Buenos Aires to protest over the "new show of military force".
It is the latest diplomatic clash following heightened tensions over the territory since Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner took power in Argentina.
A spokesman for the Embassy of Argentina in London said: "The Government of the United Kingdom will conduct military exercises on occupied Argentine territory between 14 and 27 April, including missile launchings from the Malvinas Islands.  Read more »

Posted: Wednesday, July 02, 2008
By Clint Purvance, MD Chief Medical Officer, Barton HealthCare System
You've probably heard about Gov. Schwarzenegger's medical budget cuts that took affect July 1. Certainly some spending cuts need to be made in light of a statewide $16 billion shortfall.
What you may not realize is that when the Medi-Cal repayment cuts took place, the state's already fragile health care system is now in for some of the toughest times we've ever faced.
Leaders of organizations representing doctors and hospitals, along with an advocate for low-income people, recently discussed the potential impact of the cuts to the state's Medi-Cal system. Here are some of their thoughts: Angela Gilliard, with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said "cuts to Medi-Cal reduce preventive care for patients and eventually shift more patients to the state's already crowded hospital emergency departments.†Noting that California doctors already receive the lowest Medicaid reimbursement rates in the country, Richard Frankenstein, President of the California Medical Association, said "the governor's cuts causes physicians to lose even more money by treating Medi-Cal patients.â€
What we're seeing here in the Barton HealthCare System is pretty straight forward. Our Community Clinic, which operates at a loss of about $1 million a year, accepts Medi-Cal patients. The clinic also accepts patients who have no insurance and charges on a sliding scale based on income. Many patients pay as little as $5 for a medical visit. Hence, the $1 million plus loss per year.
With El Dorado County cutting its Family Planning Services at the end of June and now referring all of their family planning patients to Barton's Community Clinic, the clinic's patient load will significantly increase, putting our Clinic over capacity.
Once the Community Clinic reaches over capacity, Medi-Cal patients begin using the hospital's Emergency Department as their medical choice of first resort. The Emergency Department is the most expensive setting in which to receive medical services which drives up costs and plummets revenue.
When hospitals operate at a loss, they close. That's the bottom line.
And that's happened more than we care to hear about in the past 10 years. Ten California hospitals and 11 Emergency Departments have closed in the last decade.
The Barton HealthCare System has taken great measures to make sure that we can financially withstand these reimbursement cuts so that our fellow residents and tourists will continue to have a stable community hospital.
However, with the current Medi-Cal reimbursement cuts, even more hospitals will be on the verge of closing, and that's not good for anyone in the state.
Jan Emerson, Vice President of External Affairs for the California Hospital Association, said the impact will not be limited to Medi-Cal recipients and providers. "With these Medi-Cal cuts in place, you're going to see a complete meltdown of the health care system in California,†said Emerson. "This is not limited to people on Medi-Cal. All of us in California will be affected by these cuts," she said.
As Barton's Chief Medical Officer and an Emergency Department physician, my first concern is treating patients regardless of their ability to pay. And like all physicians in the state, if our hospitals close we have no where to treat people who need us.
An update as of July 7, 2008:
"California's MediCal program has been underfunded for the last two decades and now ranks dead last among the 50 states in payments to healthcare providers,†said Suzanne Ness, Regional Vice President of the Hospital Council of Northern and Central California. "As of last week, the 10 percent across-the-board cuts that the legislature and Governor approved in February hit hospitals, doctors, dentists, pharmacists and ambulance services.
"The only hope in sight is an agreement on the state budget that provides additional revenue to reduce the cuts now in place,†she said. "If not, be prepared to wait even longer in the emergency room as there will be no where else to go.â€

Insurance Coverage
for Associations
There are three areas of questions that have been addressed. They are as follows:
1. Are Associations covered under the Conference UCIB insurance policy in regards to the work of their committees such as the Church and Ministry Committee (COM)?
Even if the Conference leadership disagrees with decisions made by
Association committees, the Association's coverage remains intact.
2. Are
Association work teams which engage in mission trips either within the
Yes, however it is important to
verify what the coverage actually covers.
For example, as a general
rule, if a legal claim was made in the
United States for some type of activity that occurred in another country, the
Association would be covered (subject to policy terms, conditions, exclusions,
etc.) If a legal proceeding was engaged
in a foreign judicial system, then no, the UCIB coverage would not apply.
Yes, Association mission work
teams whether sanctioned or not sanctioned by the Conference are
covered under the UCIB Program. But
again, it is important to verify the extent of the coverage. Specific questions should be asked of the
UCIB agent. For example, the UCIB agent
recommends that work teams take out a policy for emergency evacuation, medical
evacuation, and political evacuation for each overseas activity. Liability coverage of the Conference policy
does apply to Associations engaged in overseas mission trips. Nonetheless it is important to understand the
extent of liability in the insurance plan.
No insurance program provides blanket coverage for all activity.
3. Is the work of an Association covered if the Association has created its own separate legal entity? For example is the work of the AMIGOS program covered under the Conference policy?
No, in general other entities are
not covered under the Conference policy.
Yes, an Association mission team
engaging in work with the AMIGOS program is covered under the Conference policy
just as any other mission work team is covered.
However, if a mission endeavor is
engaged in "business" in a foreign setting, including such things as
employment, legal transactions (including the payment of legal fees), this activity is not covered under the conference policy.
Cathy Green, the President of the UCIB wrote to us:
"As you and I discussed on the phone, the Insurance Board liability
policies were not designed to cover international operations and there are
definite limitations and exclusions that may apply. The IB will be
providing a more detailed response to Jeff McDonnell and we will point out the
exclusions. We will also make suggestions regarding how the Association
might supplement the IB policies to protect itself and the Conference. "

How to Incorporate SEO in Visual Marketing
SEOP Blog Team @ September 29, 2014 # No Comment Yet
In the world of social media, images and videos no longer serve as mere accessories to written content. Today, about a billion photos are uploaded and shared with little or no accompanying text. This poses a new challenge for SEO, which has long relied on the written word. With visual content dominating the digital landscape, marketers must change the way they practice SEO in order to leverage the power of images while still incorporating keywords to improve online brand presence.

Shirley Dobson, wife of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, gave a deposition Tuesday after being named in a suit claiming the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation says the event violates the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Earlier this year, attorneys for the Alliance Defense Fund asked a federal court to dismiss the lawsuit.
"Prayer proclamations are a long-established and cherished American tradition going back to the Founding Fathers," said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Joel Oster. "This is simply a ridiculous lawsuit and an example of one radical organization's allergic reaction to anything involving God."
In addition to Dobson, chair of The National Day of Prayer Task Force, the atheist group also sued several government officials including former President George W. Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle.
It's not known if, or when, the case will go to court.
The National Day of Prayer was first established by in 1952 by President Harry S. Truman.

Yeah, you can still get in on the deal as an existing customer. I just called last night (Aug 25th), and got the deal with no problem. I'm finally replacing my two old SD DTivos with two HR24-500s. I added the whole home DVR service w/ Internet Connection Kit. When the CSR mentioned the $10/month fee for HD access I brought up the 24/mo free deal. It took her a minute to look it up, and she had to transfer me up the chain to a different CSR, but there was never any issue. I just checked my account and "HD Access - 24mosFreeHDAcc " is listed in my recent activity.
I was also able to get the $99 fee waived for the whole home DVR install. D* said I was eligible for a $99 loyalty credit on a new receiver. Since I wanted to ensure that I received two HR24s, I just bought the receivers myself from amazon.com ($180 each w/ free shipping). I asked if they could apply that credit to the whole home install instead and they did. The second CSR I spoke to said that the first CSR shouldn't have allowed that, but I guess it was too late to take it back by then. They also threw in Showtime for a month and the HD Extra Pack for 3months.
The only problem I'm having now is that I cannot schedule an install date. I keep trying to schedule an install online, and keep getting the message "Sorry, our installation calendar is unavailable at this time." Anyone know if this is common? How far out is D* usually booked for installs. Now that the details are worked out, I'm wanting this installed ASAP (no surprise there).
Call in and schedule the install through the CSR. Sometimes the website acts weird for the install stuff.

You might like Best Runway Models >
There are plenty of shows that we wouldn't want to miss at New York Fashion Week, but one of the most highly anticipated runways of the season is always Proenza Schouler.
During NYFW this week Cynthia Rowley presented her Spring 2015 collection, a bright, mod-inspired lineup that was an easy transition from her Fall 2014 looks. Using similar materials, cuts and colors she played on the same '60s motifs and bold shades, though with arguably more success than last season.
Working in the fashion industry, people automatically assume you're going to love the strangest, out-of-place styles that most people just don't get—and generally, that's true. We're willing to acknowledge the Birkenstock, attempt culottes and wholly embrace cocoon coats—but the Marc By Marc Jacobs Spring 2015 collection was another monster altogether.
Rarely does a collection come along that totally nails it, but Vivienne Tam did exactly that during her Spring 2015 runway show yesterday. Models walked the catwalk in feminine silhouettes, bright colors and Asian prints that were both classic and modern.
"Pants? We don't need no stinking pants." At least that's what most of the looks on the Rag & Bone Spring 2015 runway seemed to scream as models walked the runway in butt-skimming jackets, mini dresses and updated leather Daisy Dukes.
In the hustle and bustle of New York Fashion Week, it's easy to get caught up watching street style stars preening outside and practically forget what's going on inside the tents—but sometimes that's not a bad thing.
So you're already making room in your closet for all the looks you saw during New York Fashion Week? Well, we hate to burst your stylish bubble, but some of our favorite moments from this past week weren't from the runway. Admittedly, half our time was spent gushing over all those celebrities sitting in the front row.
For all those cool girls that like to flirt with the line between minimalism and cutting-edge trends, Bibhu Mohapatra's Fall 2014 line is a totally drool-worthy collection. Yesterday during New York Fashion Week, the designer showcased his pieces; designs influenced greatly by past collections and a string of DNA code that was made into a print, doused in metals and sent down the runway.
Fashion and science may not go hand in hand (although designers still find a way to do it), but every now and then it converges so seamlessly that we almost don't notice. The Diesel Black Gold Fall 2014 collection at New York Fashion Week was effortless, stylish and made us wonder how something so cool almost went overlooked.
Apparently no one told Zac Posen this was a runway show and not a red carpet event—but we are totally okay with that. Monday during New York Fashion Week, he presented his Fall 2014 collection: a line of floor-length ball gowns, vintage-inspired party dresses and some of the sexiest suits you would ever dare to get away with at work.
On Saturday during New York Fashion Week, Alexander Wang showed off his Fall 2014 collection—and if we're reading him correctly there are going to be some intense pockets, bright colors and more over-the-knee boots as soon as autumn hits.
Mara…Hoffman? The Mara Hoffman that brings us such delightful prints with shades of neon, bright and clashing color combos even in the dead of winter? What on earth is all this black? Don't get us wrong we kind of love it, but still—we were a little surprised. On Saturday during New York Fashion Week, the designer showcased her Fall 2014 collection which was inspired by North Africa and gave us a grayscale palette of her otherwise iconic patterns.
Okay, as much as we might hate to admit it, Victoria Beckham's Fall 2014 collection wasn't half bad. This weekend during New York Fashion Week the former Spice Girl showed off her designs—a lineup filed with black and white with slimmer, more feminine cuts than her previous collection.
Do we even need to watch the rest of New York Fashion Week? Probably not, as we're pretty sure we just found our winner. Araks presented their Fall 2014 collection which consisted of midi-skirts, comfortable separates and just the right amount of color to make all of our sartorial dreams come true.
We're pretty sure we just found where all the color at New York Fashion Week went. Desigual went overboard (as per the norm) with their Fall 2014 collection that pretty much takes the cake as far as color, patterns and OMG-what-are-you-wearing goes.

Serves 6
- 1 medium African or small butternut squash
- 2 Moonglow or Asian pears, cored, peeled, and diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup (about 12) chestnuts
- 10 shallots, peeled
- 1/3 pound (about 2 bunches) tender komatsuna leaves or fresh spinach, torn
- 1/3 pound (about 2 heads) tatsoi, torn
- 1/3 pound (about 2 bunches) mustard greens, torn
- 8 ounces bacon, diced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons local honey
- 1/4 cup Champagne vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/3 cup canola oil
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Peel the squash: First cut into two cross sections, scrape out the seeds, and place the squash, flat side down, on a cutting board. Work around the squash with a sharp knife or peeler, making sure to remove the layer of lighter colored flesh under the skin as well as the skin. Dice into 1/2-inch cubes to make about 1 cup (reserve any leftovers for another use).
Arrange the diced squash and pears on a baking sheet and toss with the oil. Roast until browned, about 20 minutes; set aside at room temperature.
Make a cross slit on the rounded end of each chestnut with a sharp paring knife. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, or until the cut sections on the bottoms of the nuts just start to curl. Peel the chestnuts as soon as they are cool enough to handle, as they will peel the easiest when hot. Cut into quarters and set aside.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Wrap the shallots in parchment paper and then in aluminum foil. Bake until tender and slightly caramelized, about 1 hour. Once the shallots are cool enough to handle, chop coarsely and set aside.
To make the vinaigrette: In a large sauté pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy; transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and reserve the fat in the pan. Once the fat has cooled slightly, strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a measuring cup that has a spout. in a blender or food processor, combine the mustard, honey, vinegar, thyme, and pepper and blend for 30 seconds. Slowly add the strained warm bacon fat and the oil through the cap of the blender or the feed tube of a food processor, blending until thoroughly combined Pour the vinaigrette into a large mixing bowl.
Add the squash and pears, chestnuts, shallots, bacon, komatsuna, tatsoi, and mustard greens to the mixing bowl and toss with the warm vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

Scrap Metal Theft Arrests
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) --
Authorities in Waterloo have arrested three people in connection with the theft of scrap metal worth about $8,000.
Waterloo police say 19-year-old John Lester Fluhr and 19-year-old Cole Dean McNamara were arrested early Monday after it was determined that scrap metal was stolen from a local business. A 16-year-old boy was also arrested.
Police say a concerned citizen called authorities to report people outside of a vehicle loaded with scrap metal.
Fluhr and McNamara face charges of second-degree and fourth-degree theft. Court records do not list an attorney.
The 16-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree theft. The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles suspected of crimes.

I have often encountered an error such as "cannot convert from 'method group' to 'string'" in cases like :
var list = new List<string>();

of course there was a typo in the last line because I forgot the round paranthesis after "ToString". The correct form would be :
var list = new List<string>();
// ... snip
list.Add(someObject.ToString()); // <- notice the paranthesis
However I came to wonder what is a method group. Google isn't much of a help and MSDN neither.

When Whitley Strieber had his cabin in upstate New York, he often had groups of friends up to see if it would be possible for them to encounter the visitors. On many occassions, extraordinary events took place.
One such event occurred in the Autumn of 1988. The Striebers' friends Raven Dana and Lorie Barnes had been staying at the cabin, and were awakened in the middle of the night, confronted by the physical presence of the visitors. The events are described in Strieber's book Breakthrough, and are the subject of a Dreamland special. (This special is not in our archive, which was started in 2004. It is from prior to that date.)

This is the cabin where Whitley Strieber experienced the December 26, 1985 close encounter that led to the writing of Communion and the long series of encounters and interactions with unknown beings that resulted in the further books Transformation and Breakthrough. The cabin is near Kingston, New York, and is situated in an area where there is a great deal of underground iron.
It was from this bed that Whitley was taken at approximately three in the morning of the 26th. He has never been certain what happened, except that the experience was far more vivid than any dream.
This circle of stones was built at the spot where Whitley's encounters first started. The circle of stones were later moved, due to vandalism.
This is the living room. In Transformation, Whitley related that he had taken one of his cats with him during an encounter situation, "for a reality test." He took the cat from the back of this couch.

Chapter13: Corporate Financing Decisions and Efficient Capital Markets
13.8 Implications for Corporate Finance
So far this chapter has examined both theoretical arguments and empirical evidence concerning efficient markets. We now ask whether market efficiency has any relevance for corporate financial managers. The answer is that it does. Next we consider four implications of efficiency for managers.
Accounting Choices, Financial Choices, and Market Efficiency
The accounting profession provides firms with a significant amount of leeway in their reporting practices. Managers clearly prefer high share prices to low share prices. Should managers use the leeway in accounting choices to report the highest possible income? Not necessarily. That is, accounting choice should not affect share price if two conditions hold. First, enough information must be provided in the annual report so that financial analysts can construct earnings under the alternative accounting methods. This appears to be the case for many, though not necessarily all, accounting choices. Second, the market must be efficient in the semi-strong form. In other words, the market must use all of this accounting information appropriately in determining the market price.
Of course, the issue of whether accounting choice affects share price is ultimately an empir-ical matter. A number of academic papers have addressed this issue. Kaplan and Roll found that the switch from accelerated to straight-line depreciation did not affect share prices.17
Several other accounting procedures have been studied. Hong, Kaplan and Mandelker found no evidence that the stock market was affected by the artificially higher earnings reported using the pooling method, compared with the purchase method, for reporting mergers and acquisitions.18 In summary, empirical evidence suggests that accounting changes do not fool the market. Therefore the evidence does not suggest that managers can boost share price through accounting practices. In other words, the market appears efficient enough to see through different accounting choices.
One caveat is called for here. Our discussion specifically assumed that 'financial analysts can construct earnings under the alternative accounting methods'. However, companies such as Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Parmalat and Xerox simply reported fraudulent numbers in recent years. There was no way for financial analysts to construct alternative earnings numbers, because these analysts were unaware how the reported numbers were determined. So it was not surprising that the share prices of these companies initially rose well above fair value. Yes, managers can boost prices in this way - as long as they are willing to serve time in prison once they are caught!
The Timing Decision
Imagine a firm whose managers are contemplating the date to issue equity. This decision is frequently called the timing decision. If managers believe that their equity is overpriced, they are likely to issue shares immediately. Here, they are creating value for their current shareholders because they are selling shares for more than they are worth. Conversely, if the managers believe that their equity is underpriced, they are more likely to wait, hoping that the equity price will eventually rise to its true value.
However, if markets are efficient, securities are always correctly priced. Efficiency implies that equity is sold for its true worth, so the timing decision becomes unimportant. Figure 13.13 shows three possible share price adjustments to the issuance of new equity.
Ritter presents evidence that annual equity returns over the five years following an initial public offering (IPO) are about 2 per cent less for the issuing company than the returns on a non-issuing company of similar book-to-market ratio.19 Annual share price returns over this period following a seasoned equity offering (SEO) are between 3 per cent and 4 per cent less for the issuing company than for a comparable non-issuing company. A companys first public offering is called an IPO and all subsequent offerings are termed SEOs. The upper half of Fig. 13.14 shows average annual returns of both IPOs and their control group, and the lower half of the figure shows average annual returns of both SEOs and their control group.
The evidence in Ritters paper suggests that corporate managers issue SEOs when the companys equity is overpriced. In other words, managers appear to time the market successfully. The evidence that managers time their IPOs is less compelling: returns following IPOs are closer to those of their control group.
Does the ability of a corporate official to issue an SEO when the security is overpriced indicate that the market is inefficient in the semi-strong form or the strong form? The answer is actually somewhat more complex than it may first appear. On the one hand, officials are likely to have special information that the rest of us do not have, suggesting that the market need only be inefficient in the strong form. On the other hand, if the market were truly semi-strong efficient, the price would drop immediately and completely upon the announcement of an upcoming SEO. That is, rational investors would realize that equity is being issued, because corporate officials have special information that the shares are overpriced. Indeed, many empirical studies report a price drop on the announcement date. However, Fig. 13.13 shows a further price drop in the subsequent years, suggesting that the market is inefficient in the semi-strong form.
If firms can time the issuance of shares, perhaps they can also time the repurchase of shares. A firm would like to repurchase when its equity is undervalued. Ikenberry, Lakonishok and Vermaelen find that equity returns of repurchasing firms are abnormally high in the two years following repurchase, suggesting that timing is effective here.20
Speculation and Efficient Markets
We normally think of individuals and financial institutions as the primary speculators in financial markets. However, industrial corporations speculate as well. For example, many companies make interest rate bets. If the managers of a firm believe that interest rates are likely to rise, they have an incentive to borrow, because the present value of the liability will fall with the rate increase. In addition, these managers will have an incentive to borrow long-term rather than short-term in order to lock in the low rates for a longer period. The thinking can get more sophisticated. Suppose that the long-term rate is already higher than the short-term rate. The manager might argue that this differential reflects the markets view that rates will rise. However, perhaps he anticipates a rate increase even greater than what the market anticipates, as implied by an upward-sloping term structure. Again, the manager will want to borrow long-term rather than short-term.
Firms also speculate in foreign currencies. Suppose that the CFO of a multinational cor-poration based in the United Kingdom believes that the euro will decline relative to sterling. She would probably issue euro-denominated debt rather than sterling-denominated debt, because she expects the value of the foreign liability to fall. Conversely, she would issue debt domestically if she believes foreign currencies will appreciate relative to the British pound.
We are perhaps getting a little ahead of our story: the subtleties of the term structure and exchange rates are treated in other chapters, not this one. However, the big question is this: What does market efficiency have to say about such activity? The answer is clear. If financial markets are efficient, managers should not waste their time trying to forecast the movements of interest rates and foreign currencies. Their forecasts will probably be no better than chance. And they will be using up valuable executive time. This is not to say, however, that firms should flippantly pick the maturity or the denomination of their debt in a random fashion. A firm must choose these parameters carefully. However, the choice should be based on other rationales, not on an attempt to beat the market. For example, a firm with a project lasting five years might decide to issue five-year debt. A firm might issue renminbi-denominated debt because it anticipates expanding into China in a big way.
The same thinking applies to acquisitions. Many corporations buy up other firms because they think these targets are underpriced. Unfortunately, the empirical evidence suggests that the market is too efficient for this type of speculation to be profitable. And the acquirer never pays just the current market price. The bidding firm must pay a premium above market to induce a majority of shareholders of the target firm to sell their shares. However, this is not to say that firms should never be acquired. Rather, managers should consider an acquisition if there are benefits (synergies) from the union. Improved marketing, economies in production, replacement of bad management, and even tax reduction are typical synergies. These synergies are distinct from the perception that the acquired firm is underpriced.
One final point should be mentioned. We talked earlier about empirical evidence suggesting that SEOs are timed to take advantage of overpriced equity. This makes sense - managers are likely to know more about their own firms than the market does. However, while managers may have special information about their own firms, it is unlikely that they have special information about interest rates, foreign currencies, or other firms. There are simply too many participants in these markets, many of whom are devoting all of their time to forecasting. Managers typically spend most of their effort running their own firms, with only a small amount of time devoted to studying financial markets.
Information in Market Prices
The previous section argued that it is quite difficult to forecast future market prices. However, the current and past prices of any asset are known - and of great use. Consider, for example, Bechers study of bank mergers.21 The author finds that share prices of acquired banks rise about 23 per cent on average upon the first announcement of a merger. This is not surprising, because companies are generally bought out at a premium above current share price. However, the same study shows that prices of acquiring banks fall almost 5 per cent on average upon the same announcement. This is pretty strong evidence that bank mergers do not benefit, and may even hurt, acquiring companies. The reason for this result is unclear, though perhaps acquirers simply overpay for acquisitions. Regardless of the reason, the implication is clear. A bank should think deeply before acquiring another bank.
Furthermore, suppose you are the CFO of a company whose share price drops much more than 5 per cent upon announcement of an acquisition. The market is telling you that the merger is bad for your firm. Serious consideration should be given to cancelling the merger, even if, prior to the announcement, you thought the merger was a good idea.
Of course, mergers are only one type of corporate event. Managers should pay attention to the share price reaction to any of their announcements, whether it concerns a new venture, a divestiture, a restructuring, or something else.
This is not the only way in which corporations can use the information in market prices. Suppose you are on the board of directors of a company whose share price has declined precipitously since the current chief executive officer (CEO) was hired. In addition, the prices of competitors have risen over the same time. Though there may be extenuating circumstances, this can be viewed as evidence that the CEO is doing a poor job. Perhaps he should be fired. If this seems harsh, consider that Warner, Watts and Wruck find a strong negative correlation between managerial turnover and prior stock performance.22 Figure 13.15 shows that share prices fall on average about 40 per cent in price (relative to market movements) in the three years prior to the forced departure of a top manager.
Market efficiency implies that share prices reflect all available information. We recommend using this information as much as possible in corporate decisions as long as the manager feels that share prices accurately reflect the true value of company equity. In most emerging-market countries stock markets may not be very efficient, and you should be careful about using available share prices. In developed economies, at least with respect to executive firings and executive compensation, it looks as if real-world corporations do pay attention to market prices. The following box summarizes some key issues in the efficient markets debate:

Another tattoo from Pat Fish. Writes Fish, " "Ruby" was left with the usual puckering and surface distortion on her chest, and adding the powerful La Tene spirals and Lunar Goddess pattern was a way to take the emphasis off of them and celebrate the beauty of her survival. We can never erase scars, they are the marks of our successful survival, but tattoos have the power to make a statement of beauty that puts the visual focus on the positive."

Disney have had a hard time these last few years, with some deep soul searching regarding what the company stands for. Under the leadership of Michael Eisner, the company ceased producing traditional animation features in 2004. But following the corporate upheaval which saw Eisner ousted in 2005, Disney vowed a return to traditional animation, along with the acquisition of Pixar animation studio, but since then have only released two traditionally animated features, along with three computer generated features. Set inside the world of arcade games, Ralph, (John C. Reilly) the adversary of the arcade hit 'Fix It Felix Jr', has become tired of playing the thankless task of the bad guy in the Rampage inspired game and decides to go 'turbo'; that is, jump from the confined world of 'Fix It Felix' to the first person shooter 'Hero's Duty' where he obtains the accolades and medal that he's been longing for. Unfortunately for Ralph, porting out has unleashed a fearsome Cy-Bug, which has the power to obliterate any virtual reality world it infests. In doing so, Ralph continues to live up to his name, but the consequences of his latest actions may mean the obliteration of every game in the arcade, and the denizens that inhabit them. Filled with an array of video game characters including Bowser from Nintendo's Super Mario franchise, numerous characters from Street Fighter, Pac Man and Sonic The Hedgehog, Wreck-It Ralph already has an in-built fan base of video game lovers and many have responded well to the film. It's clear that the filmmakers are big fans, too. In many ways Wreck-It Ralph is one giant homage to the games of old, and the juxtaposition between them and modern franchises such as the fake Call of Duty rip-off Hero's Duty. At one point Ralph asks "when did video games become so violent and scary?", a question many who grew up with the blue skies and upbeat tunes of the Sega Mega Drive may also ask. Video Wreck It Ralph is presented in the aspect ratio of 1.78:1, encoded with AVC MPEG-4 compression. Barring only one recent CG animated Blu-ray that didn't fare so well in the video stakes (for those interested, it's Megamind, we've become so accustomed (and perhaps rightly so), to expecting perfection with CG animation that we take for granted that such perfect video origins will automatically result in a perfect 2k encode. However, I'm glad to say that Wreck It Ralph doesn't buck the trend. With a swathe of color and motion, Ralph was born to succeed on Blu-ray, its character design and layout made to encode efficiently and without a hitch. I suspect that when the time comes, Ralph will even upscale to 4K nicely as well. In a nutshell, I didn't detect and video nasties - the encode is pretty much as good as it gets. If Disney keep their work to the same standard, I'll be out of a job. | Audio Wreck It Ralph is encoded with the DTS-HD Master Audio codec with 7.1 channels, at 24 bits. The time when Disney mixed their theatrical features with wimpy and submissive 5.1 mixes is long a thing of the past. Wreck It Ralph features an incredible aggressive audio mix that's up there with some of the best ever dished out for animated fare. Importantly, there's no issue with audio intelligibility, nor any glitches or dropouts. Disney have gone well and truly out of their way to give Wreck It Ralph a superlative audio mix that holds little back. The surround channels are kept wholly active at all times, along with some deep bass note, which frequently pervade. The score by Henry Jackman is mixed with contemporary music, including an appropriate contribution by that Skrillex fellow that the kids love so much. Extras The 17 minute Bit By Bit: Creating the Worlds of Wreck It Ralph Documentary doesn't have the time to go into huge depth, but serves as breezy look at production, with interview sound bites by director Rich Moore and many of the main players. I would have liked a tad more meat on the bones, along with a deeper discussion to the choices made in utilizing video game characters, but what we have is probably sufficient for many. The seven minute short film which featured before the theatrical release; Paperman is included in 1080p along with a 5.1 soundtrack. It's a really sweet, but heartfelt short which merges the digital world with traditional animation and represents what I think is the future for Disney animation. Next, we have four Deleted and alternate Scenes, which would have made the film a few minutes longer. None will be particularly mourned. Finally, we have four brief fake Video Game Commercials for the video games which feature in the movie. They're a nice touch, which mimic vintage and modern advertising with a knowing smirk. |

Ok, so about a week ago this girl asked me out. She is nice, really shy but overall not a bad person. I like her, but I don't like like her. And I recently found out she got kicked out of her last school for some suicidal issue...which freaked me out. Now, i don't know how to tell her I don't like her, im afraid she'll do something to herself. Any advice on how to tell someone you aren't interested (nicely) ? Thank you
Be polite but firm. Tell her politely that you would prefer to not go. You can also invite her out with a group of friends, then its not a date and its more comfortable for you. and if your a gay guy tell her straight out.
Disclaimer: I cannot be heald responsable for and injuries or consequences caused by following my advice.

so sorry...just dont mix up with crazy people...we tend to fuck things up.
dude like someone else said, dont mix with crazy ppl. lol that girl sounds just like me! mix with us, and...well, you'll start to go crazy as well...
just tell her no, and well, what else can you do, right? just dont be wishy-washy, cuz then she'll think she has hope.
hope it goes ok

how about you say
