SocGen's Post-Mortem On Cyprus' "Unique Stability Levy" A/K/A Deposit Confiscation
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/16/2013 10:41 -0500"In the early hours of Saturday, the Eurogroup agreed an adjustment programme of up to €10bn for Cyprus, the first under the ESM. Eurogroup President Dijsselbloem referred to the "exceptional nature" of the situation that required "unique measures". In the special case of Cyprus, this is a upfront one-off "stability levy" of 6.75% on all bank deposits of 100K or less and 9.9% for deposits over 100K, with the aim to raise €5.8bn. A MoU will be finalised shortly. The national approval processes of the euro area member states will then be launched and final agreement should be reached in the second half of April. The IMF is also expected to offer financial support. The package for Cyprus still comes with tough conditionality and the risk is that introducing a new "unique" bank levy measure – despite the many reassurances - could trigger renewed concerns."

An Orwellian America
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2013 19:25 -0500The state, crippled by massive deficits, endless war and corporate malfeasance, is clearly sliding toward unavoidable bankruptcy. It is time for Big Brother to take over from Huxley's feelies, the orgy-porgy and the centrifugal bumble-puppy. We are transitioning from a society where we are skillfully manipulated by lies and illusions to one where we are overtly controlled. We are one crisis away from a police state. All the powers are in place. Someone will flip the switch. Whether a Cyber Attack, escalating Currency War tensions or a 'terrorist' attack by indebted college youth, it is only a matter of time and circumstance... We are one crisis away from a police state.

Is China's 'Real' Economy Crashing?
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/15/2013 08:55 -0500As Marc Faber noted, we hardly expect China to report GDP growth rates that do not perfectly fit the goal-seeked solution for utopian society, but under the covers, there appears to be some considerably more ugly real data. One of the hardest to manipulate, manage, or mitigate for a centrally planned economy is Electricity production. The year-over-year drop in China's electricity production is the largest since the slump in Q1 2009; and the seasonal drop (associated with the New Year) is the largest on record at 25.3%! So on one hand China is discussing tightening monetary policy amid inflation anxiety and a potential real estate bubble - thanks to the rest of the world pumping free money - and on the other hand Chinese officials are faced with the reality of a drastically slowing 'real' economy. At the same time, we note that it appears China's export-import data appears overstated. Rock meet hard place.

"Equity prices in the US and Europe have been hovering at multi-year highs. To the extent that this reflects powerful policy easing, equity markets may have lost some of its ability to reflect economic trends in exchange for an important role in the policy fight to support spending." This is a statement from a Bank of America report overnight in which the bailed out bank confirms what has been said here since the launch of QE1 - there is no "market", there is no economic growth discounting mechanism, there is merely a monetary policy vehicle. To those, therefore, who can "forecast" what this vehicle does based on the whims of a few good central planners, we congratulate them. Because, explicitly, there is no actual forecasting involved. The only question is how long does the "career trade", in which everyone must be herded into the same trades or else risk loss of a bonus or job, go on for before mean reversion finally strikes. One thing that is clear is that since news is market positive, irrelevant of whether it is good or bad, virtually everything that has happened overnight, or will happen today, does not matter, and all stock watchers have to look forward to is another low volume grind higher, as has been the case for the past two weeks.

Japan: Front-Runner Of Outright Monetization
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/14/2013 19:35 -0500Democratic governments in low-growth economies sometimes rely on their central banks to support fiscal policy so as to avoid asking voters to share more of the burden. BNP Paribas' Ryutaro Kono notes that it is the pathology of modern democracies to foist our bills onto future generations and one could argue that the prolongation of our zero-rate regimes and quantitative easing are facilitating this. When this societal weakness is combined with today's financialized economies, we get a pronounced inclination toward monetization, which could lead to very serious problems. While Governor Shirakawa has described the BoJ as the "frontrunner" in venturing into unknown territory with policies like zero rates and quantitative easing, Kono warns that Japan could also become the frontrunner of outright monetization. This could intensify the dilemma of having to choose between price stability or financial-system stability when inflation actually starts to pick up.

Morgan Stanley: The Central-Bank-Inspired "Omnishambles" Is Closer Than Most Think
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/14/2013 10:53 -0500It seems more likely to Morgan Stanley's Gerard Minack that central bankers may win the battle: sustaining recovery in developed economies with extraordinarily loose monetary policy. For a while this would go hand-in-hand with better equity performance. The battle is against a crisis caused by too loose monetary policy, elevated debt and mis-priced risk. Ironically, he notes, central bankers may overcome these problems by running even looser monetary policy, encouraging a new round of levering up, and fresh mis-pricing of risk. However, winning the battle isn't winning the war. If central bankers do win this round, the next downturn could be, in Minack's view, an omnishambles. In short, it seems more likely that central bankers may add another leg to the credit super-cycle. The key question for investors in this scenario is when (and how) this cycle may end, and Minack's hunch is that this cycle is already closer to 2006 than 2003.

QBAMCO On The Fed's Exit
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/13/2013 18:30 -0500The markets have begun to wonder whether the Fed (and other central banks) will ever be able to exit from its Quantitative Easing policy. We believe there is only one reasonable exit the Fed can take. Rather than sell its portfolio of bonds or allow them to mature naturally, we believe the Fed's only practical exit will be to increase the size of all other balance sheets in relation to its own. This "exit" will be part of a larger three-part strategy for resetting the over-leveraged global economy, already underway...

Gold and Silver ETFs "Backed Only By The Good Faith Of Banks and Brokerages"
Submitted by GoldCore on 03/13/2013 10:47 -0500
The spectre of stagflation threatens the UK economy due to concerns that sterling weakness will contribute to even higher inflation amid very weak economic growth and the likelihood of a recession – likely a severe one.
Markets are pricing in a jump in inflation as inflation expectations, as measured by the difference between nominal and inflation-linked bond yields, ticked up to near 3.3% yesterday.
Recent poor economic data and the appalling UK fiscal position are rightly leading to concerns of stagflation as was seen in the 1970s. Conditions that make owning gold and silver vitally important to own in order to protect and grow wealth.

Chart Of The Day: Chinese Stocks Turn Red For The Year
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/13/2013 08:37 -0500There was much chatter by the punditry in the early part of 2013, when the Shanghai Composite appeared relentless in its surge, when it was tracking the S&P virtually tick for tick, hitting a 2013 high in mid-February, and which was "explained" to be the prima facie proof of the Chinese rebound. The reason said chatter has disappeared is that as of last night's close, the SHCOMP is now officially red for the year.

China Down Fifth Day In A Row Means US Is Alone In Yet Another Forced Market Ramp Attempt
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/13/2013 05:48 -0500This is the third day in a row that an attempt to mount an overnight ramp out of the US has fizzled, with first the Nikkei closing down for the second day in a row and snapping a week-long rally, and then the Shanghai Composite following suit with its 5th consecutive drop in a row as the rumblings out of the PBOC on the inflation front get louder and louder, following PBOC governor Zhou's statement that inflation expectations must be stabilized and that great importance must be attached to inflation. Stirring the pot further was SAFE chief Yi Gang who joined the Chinese chorus warning against a currency war, by saying the G20 should avoid competitive currency devaluations. Obviously China is on the edge, and only the US stock market is completely oblivious that the marginal economy may soon force itself to enter outright contraction to offset the G-7 exported hot money keeping China's real estate beyond bubbly. Finally, SocGen released a note last night title "A strong case for easing Korean monetary policy" which confirms that it is only a brief matter of time before the Asian currency war goes thermonuclear. Moving to Europe, it should surprise nobody that the only key data point, Eurozone Industrial Production for January missed badly, printing at -0.4% on expectations of a -0.1% contraction, down from a 0.9% revised print in December as the European recession shows no signs of abating. So while the rest of the world did bad or worse than expected for the third day in a row, it will be up to the POMO and seasonally adjusted retail sales data in the US to offset the ongoing global contraction, and to send the perfectly manipulated Dow Jones to yet another all time high, in direct refutation of logic and every previous market reality ever.

The Tory-led government is commented to fiscal consolidation--austerity--the same kind of policies many want to see the US adopt, and needs greater monetary stimulus to avoid a deeper contraction in the UK economy.

Goldman's Stolper Says To Go Long EURGBP With 91.00 Target
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/12/2013 08:14 -0500If there is one firm that would know what the arrival of a Goldmanite at the head of the BOE means for the GBP, and specifically EURGBP, it would be Goldman. Moments ago Goldman's Tom Stolper just poured more gas into the EURGBP "parity" fire, sending the EUR spiking. That said, the logical Stolper-contrarians in us say this is precisely the time to fade the relentless move higher in the EURGBP: history is on our side about 93% of the time. After all, Goldman's prop flow desk is now selling the pair to its clients. This is even as we said to short the GBP with both hands and feet in late November when Carney's appointment was announced: a move that has resulted in nearly a +1400 pip gain in the GBPUSD short. Oh well, time to take profits.

Michael Waltrip Car to Honor National Champion Kentucky Wildcats This Weekend at Kentucky Speedway
Michael Waltrip will do his part to pay homage to the Kentucky Wildcats and their national championship season by painting the hood of his car in their honor.
His honoring of the Wildcats and their 8th national championship coincides with this weekends upcoming race at Kentucky Speedway. Waltrip was born in Owensboro, Kentucky and for his homecoming plans to honor the Big Blue with his race car design.
Waltrip has only raced in three Sprint Cup events this season but plans on racing this weekend. His last race was the Sprint Cup series at Talladega where he finished in 19th place. The 49-year old veteran is in his 27th season behind the wheel of a race car as he started in 1985.
Since he has only raced in three races this season he currently finds himself in 47th place in the NASCAR Sprint Cup standings. It's been a long time since he won a race, 2003 at Talladega, but he now lends his voice to broadcasts of races on the SPEED Channel in between the races he does compete in.
It's pretty cool that he will be honoring Ketucky this weekend as the Wildcats are coming off a dominating season in which they only lost two games en route to the national championship. They dominated pretty much everybody last season with star players such as Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Calipari won his first national championship but will have to reload once again as he is losing the entire starting five from last year's squad.
Waltrip will honor the Wildcats and will try to stay in contention this weekend at Kentucky Motor Speedway.

The levels are fairly easy and fast-paced, the music is okay, plus the jewel cursor is cute! However I had some trouble passing a few of the levels although I think this is just because I'm not very good at puzzle games in general. Keep up the good work!

The bill targets dilation and evacuation (D and E) procedures, which may be used in a second-trimester abortion. The D and E procedure is often used when it is the safest means of preserving the life, health, and perhaps the fertility of the pregnant person.
Two bills that would outlaw abortion after 20 weeks' gestation have been introduced in Maryland this year, adding to the list of states attempting to pass such bans this legislative session.
Lawmakers in the state are trying to redefine "medically necessary" abortions covered by Medicaid. Advocates say that is unconstitutional.
Fifty Ohio legislators on Tuesday sponsored a so-called fetal heartbeat abortion ban, the third of its kind to be introduced in the state house in recent years.
For me, and many others born after Roe v. Wade, the fixation on coat hangers as the prevailing imagery of the reproductive rights movement excludes the possibility of alternatives that are more relevant to current struggles.
The legislative session kicked off in the states with a bunch of new anti-abortion bills, along with the conviction of an Indiana woman for feticide and neglect of a dependent.
A Q&A With Judith Helfand of Chicken & Egg Pictures on Supporting 'Vessel,' 'After Tiller,' and More
Chicken & Egg Pictures is the only nonprofit in the United States focused exclusively on funding and promoting women documentary filmmakers. The group's REEL Reproductive Justice has supported films including After Tiller, No Más Bebés Por Vida, Infanity, Vessel, and Young Lakota.
Minnesota lawmakers this month have introduced five anti-choice bills, each designed to make safe abortion less accessible in the state.
Last winter, the family of Marlise Muñoz had to undergo the terrible ordeal of fighting the state for the ability to take their deceased daughter off mechanical support. Now, a conservative state representative says he plans to make those kinds of heartbreaking decisions even harder—or, perhaps, impossible.
Pro-choice activists, some wearing pink shoes Thursday under Colorado's gold-domed Capitol, spoke out against a proposed law that would add burdensome licensing requirements for abortion clinics across the state.

Waste removal deal in Shorewood may become educational experience
Village agrees to try out pilot project with condo group
Shorewood — A six-month pilot project for the village to handle refuse pickup for one seven-unit condominium property in Shorewood will advance, with the goal of developing an educational program for household waste stream reduction.
The Village Board on Monday approved an agreement with the condominium association for public works staff to pick up trash from the property, located at 4102 N. Wilson Drive, with the understanding that the property's refuse would not exceed one residential cart per week.
In addition, the condominium association would be required to provide the village with educational materials on reducing household waste, including a monthly article for use in the Manager's Memo and other village publications. The condo group would also be responsible for handling its own recycling removal through a private vendor.
Shorewood's existing policy on refuse and recycling pickup states that the village will serve only residential properties with three units or less. If after six months the pilot is determined to be successful, the village may consider expanding the program to similarly large multi-unit properties, Trustee Jeff Hanewall said. It would pertain to properties containing four to eight units, of which there are about 40 in the village.
If 25 percent of those properties chose to participate in the program, the village would incur an additional cost of about $2,900 annually for refuse collection, based on today's costs, Hanewall said. If 75 percent of properties participated, that additional cost would rise to about $8,900, he added.
Although the Public Works Committee was initially reluctant to proceed with handling trash collection at the pilot property, they ultimately saw the value in using this case as an opportunity to educate households on reducing their waste.
Hanewall stressed that the arrangement for the pilot is contingent upon the property being restricted to only one cart per week, which is comparable to what a single-family residence might have.
Lois Wesener, property manager and resident, assured village officials that the condominium has consistently met that goal for several years.
"We've been there for 61/2 years, and we always only have one cart per week for refuse," Wesener said. "There have been occasional times where someone's moving out or moving in ... but it's very rare."
Wesener told village staff and officials that she would be able to work with fellow residents on addressing overflow issues in those cases. She will also ensure that all residents are aware of the new arrangement, Wesener added.
The pilot period will begin Jan. 2. It will be evaluated by the village after six months, with the option of then being extended for one year, Village Manager Chris Swartz said.

The world is changing—fast. And the systems we rely on—ecological, political, social, educational, financial—are struggling to keep pace, crumbling under the increasing weight of these very challenging times.
In turn, we must ask a very important question: If our present systems are struggling to adapt to change, how can we create more resilient systems that bend, but don't break?
That's the issue at the heart of Compostmodern, the biennial sustainability and design conference that's being produced by AIGA San Francisco and Sarah Brooks, director of social innovation at Hot Studio.
Why Resilience?Resilient systems embrace change, rather than resisting it—they morph, bounce back, and continue to develop. They're flexible, redundant by design, and locally tuned, offering the potential to work in harmony with both our environment and our societies.
Increasingly, designers are beginning to look at resilient systems as tools that can help us re-envision how to make the world work better for everyone. And some early examples of resilient design are already showing its massive potential to create changes that better the lives of people and the planet.
Some of the best thinkers in the worldOver the course of two quick-moving, inspirational days, Compostmodern's incredible roster of artists, visual designers, brand strategists, interaction designers, product designers, architects, futurists, sustainability consultants, intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs from across the public, private and nonprofit sectors will explore the cutting-edge of work surrounding resilient design.
Ezio Manzini, the Italian design strategist and expert in sustainable design, will offer the opening keynote. Closing remarks will be supplied by John Thackara, the provocative writer and thinker and founder of The Doors of Perception. Eve Blossom, founder of Lulan and we've, and experience design pioneer Nathan Shedroff will ably serve as emcees. Cheryl Heller, David McConville, and Tiffany Shlain are just a few of the wonderful speakers already added to Compostmodern's program.
Unique formatPresentations at Compostmodern are brief and contain all-new information. You won't be hearing material recycled from other conferences. The presentations also last for just the first day; day two is devoted to a hands-on workshop intended to help put into action the lessons of the first day. Ultimately, the goal of Compostmodern is for attendees to leave inspired and empowered to begin applying concepts of resilience to their personal and professional lives.

By Grover Norquist
This past week I traveled to the center-right coalition meetings in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and North Carolina and back to D.C. on Saturday. I took my daughter out with stroller and walked for two hours against the flow of the march to the taxpayer rally along Pennsylvania Avenue. How many people? Dunno. But two solid hours of marchers going past. Lots of great signs.
One group of Barack Obama fans was standing off to one side. They were huddled around their sign "billionaires for tax cuts" and dressed in tuxes. They looked vaguely ridiculous contrasted with tens of thousands of actual middle class citizens sickened by the greed of Washington. The late Sen. Moynihan spoke of the Ronald Reagan years as the time he realized that while his age cohort had always railed against the old fogies . . . the modern Democrat party had become them.
Obama and ACORN fancy themselves as community organizers. They should drop by and see what real outrage and real community organizing — without taxpayer subsidies or paid union staff in purple T-shirts — looks like.
The denizens of the White House lack only big wigs to complete the Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette analogy. They already have the contempt for the little people down pat.

I have been working at Expedia full-time (more than 5 years)
Travel discounts. Good vacation benefits. Leisure travel reimbursement. OK culture. Casual dress.
There's no unified policy around working from home and they like to say they promote work/life balance, but when you have a manager that isn't in line with alleged company values there is unfair scrutiny. As a working mother I feel unfairly scrutinized when I need to take my children to the doctor even when there's never been a question of the quality and timeliness of work. I've been told that "people" have noticed that I'm not here on the rare occasions that I need to tend to something during working hours. I'm salary so it's not like I'm skipping out on hours and then claiming them. On other teams I had really great flexibility and that was a strength of the management. I've gone from working from home 1-4 days a week to not at all because you need to keep up appearances for management. You're made to feel untrustworthy and like you're slacking.
I've been here over 5 years and a few years ago HR had a new policy to hire everyone in at the middle of their salary range while leaving everyone that was already here where they were. So I was managing people that were making only $500 less than me a year. If I was to be hired now I would be making $20,000 more a year and that's really difficult to stomach. I continually think about leaving.
Obvious favoritism from management.
Be consistent. Trust your employees and don't be a manager if you can't talk directly to your directs. More communication. Don't penalize working parents. Pay all of your employees competitively. Learn what your employees do. I can't respect a manager that doesn't understand my job or the business.

"Expedia Local Expert--Poor Management, Extreme Hostile Environment "
- Comp & Benefits

- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Expedia full-time (more than a year)
ProsImpressive benefits (while you are employed with them), hospitality passes, relationships with lodging partners, venders, parks, restaurants, etc. There's also potential to earn a descent paycheck if you're aggressive (this is assuming that Expedia Local Expert will not continue to take our earned referral money).
ConsThe morale of the company is insanely poor. Management is a joke--all they care about is numbers. Like every other company these days, they try to come off as big time customer service champions--Their expectations of customer service and sales simultaneously combined is unreasonable and is an impossibility. They want people who can sell the crap out of combo tickets but, at the same time, give the clients whatever they want without being a little aggressive. Some of the Concierge Managers will give mixed signals on how they want you to go about up-selling one-day tickets but, then, you'll be fighting for your job the next minute.
Management takes, "The customer is always right" to a whole new level; All blame for whatever complaint is rolled over on you to swallow whether or not you're at fault.
Favoritism is another obvious issue. They will hire people from outside the company to be managers, usually friends of management who know nothing about managing people.
You can work very hard to earn full time like I did--it took me a year to finally get full time after empty promise after empty promise every couple months. After I finally did get full time, my desired schedule and my desired property, it was all taken away due to a sudden and random act of seniority that I have never seen before. It was "best performance" one minute, and "seniority" the next. And I was the top performer on the team and, oftentimes, of all ELE Orlando! True story.
Do NOT expect a career out of this company for sure unless, of course, you are best friends with the regional manager. This could be a nice gig for some tough-skinned kid who doesn't really 'need' a long-term job... that's about it.
One last word--when I was still with the company, they were looking for any reason to clean house of full timers so that they did not have to pay full time benefits. They would hire way more part timers than they needed, have us [full timers] train them, and then give us the boot replacing us with them. It happened to, literally, almost every single veteran within the company in Orlando. One of the reasons was because they were making company changes that would minimize our paychecks, and they didn't want us to make a big stink about it. So they would fire whoever they wanted at will for laughable reasons.

The old CEO, Gary Rabin, is gone, which alone should have been grounds for a nice gain. ACT has added highly competent, experienced people to the board recently, and with the other positive news on the way, should have no issues finding a competent, experienced CEO to take the helm. Unfortunately, Gary's actions will cost ACT in the future, and not an insubstantial amount either. And like any normal biotech, ACT has faced enormous financial difficulties. Added to those usual difficulties is the fact that US law prohibits federal funding for stem cell research, which is extraordinarily expensive, so all of the funding for ACT's research has had to come from other sources. As is also the case with many companies just starting out, biotech or not, selling stock was part of the fund-raising effort. As it required a lot of funding, ACT issued a lot of shares, which has served to dilute the share value much as a printing currency devalues a country's currency. Having said that, and without making light of what are not minor concerns with the business side of ACT, and even given that ACT is a "penny stock" which are typically of no interest to me personally, I'm nevertheless convinced ACT is a solid investment for the long term, but which also has short-term potential. Here's why: Despite their past financial difficulties, those behind ACT have kept the company afloat, displaying tenacious dedication even when things got so bad the phones were switched off. If that sort of thing didn't kill them, now that the company has treatments in the works that already have years of testing behind them and has demonstrated their science is gold, one has solid reasons and evidence on which to base the belief that ACT will also overcome its current issues. Yahoo has a character limit, so I will add the rest of the information as a response to this post. Please check the comment section for the continuation.
Holly, Excellent post, remember the I cell board have many brilliant posters but over here you preaching the good word to those who can see but they do not believe that in matter of days Actc is about to change medicine forever, more lives will be touched positively with this tiny little gem of a company Actc than all the big pharmaceutical companies combined........................
Sentiment: Hold
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Holly- The NEJM article is BS as it's not being published according to "investor relations" for ACTC. I spoke with a friend who spoke to them and the Italy thing was not correct. In fact, "investor relations" did not confirm a paper was even being written for publication in any journal.
Well, let's look at the evidence then. First, we have an audio recording of Dr. Hubschman in Rome, to which I've personally listened, who said that the results were going to be published in the NEJM. In addition, there is this from an article in the Telegraph: "News on general results from the trial, the first of three phases of human testing typically required by the Food and Drug Administration, is 'imminent' and will be followed by an in-depth presentation at a conference or in a medical journal, Advanced Cell spokesman David Schull said." vs Claim from random person on Internet saying they heard from another person who heard from yet another person, ostensibly someone from ACT, that there will be no paper. Given those conflicting bits of info, I'm going to go with the first option as there is actual evidence to support it. Neither Huschman nor Schull gave an exact date. I mentioned as much regarding Hubschman's remarks not only in this thread, but in others as well. I get that people are excited, but nobody said it would be this week, or even this month or next. Many hoped it would be today, but hope and speculation are merely that. Personally, I'm absolutely fine with the info not being published today. That leaves more time for others to hear about it, and contrary to what one might assume, I'm not going to be disappointed if the pps drops; it would provide an opportunity to pick up shares at a lower cost.
krycap, "investor relations" knows nothing until after it has been officially announced, and sometimes not even then.
I'll wait for the uplisting and drop, then it's time to buy.
Re: Smart people will hang on to their shares and buy more for the following reasons .... (Excerpts) Ignore Investment Tips from Stock Message Boards, Say Researchers Prabhudev Konana, Alok Kumar, Raj Raghunathan and Bin Gu are Ph.D. researchers in marketing, finance and information systems at The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Miami. They claim message boards cause good investors to make bad decisions. "It's not as simple as saying, 'Well, it is harmless entertainment,'" says researcher Kumar. "There is real risk you will be influenced by the 'noise' and begin to amplify your own investment biases." "Individual investors exhibit what is called confirmation bias," says Konana. "They select and read information that conforms to their own preconceived biases, and as a result they actually become more confident in their opinion and trade more frequently, but with lower overall returns." This runs counter to the concept that investors are rational information gatherers. "Behavioral finance studies tell us investors are subject to all manner of psychological biases," he says. "And message boards contribute to these biases, actually amplifying them, particularly for investors with strongly held opinions." : )
I completely agree with that, which is why I said in another comment on this thread: "Don't simply take my word on it, however. Conduct your due diligence and make a decision based on the evidence." Based on evidence = not relying on "gut" feelings and emotions. That is not only fundamental to successful investing, but to every subject. Whether it's buying a car or religion, if people first investigated rather than simply accepting what they're told, if they insisted on evidence before developing a belief, they could avoid believing a whole lot of nonsensical #$%$.
The three human studies currently underway are listed on clinicaltrials.gov with expected completion dates of January 2014. To clarify: one trial gave an expected completion date of July 2013 for the study, with the date of late January 2014 for completing the review of the data. The other two studies give dates of January 2014 for completion of the initial study. At a medical conference in Rome less than two weeks ago, the doctor presenting information on the treatments, Dr. Hubschman who participated in conducting studies, said all patients have reported an improvement in visual acuity and zero safety issues arose. (Note: these studies are intended to determine the safety of the treatment, not improvement in visual acuity. That we know the patients reported improvement in their visual acuity is a bonus; indicative the phase meant to test for efficacy of the treatment will provide positive results, as well.) A paper is due to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine, possibly detailing the trial info. Dr. Hubschman did not mention a specific date for publication. It could be as early as tomorrow, as the NEJM is released online on Wednesday, or it could be we will need to wait a bit longer. Publishing positive trial results, and we have every reason to expect it will be the case that the results will prove positive, opens the door to a possible joint venture, which would help to fund the company and drive the stock sharply upward, and the possibility of being granted "Breakthrough Status" with the FDA, which would fast-track remaining clinical trials and, ostensibly, get the treatments to market faster. Yahoo has a character limit, so I will add the rest of the information as a response to this post. Please check the response link for the continuation.
Re: ......., opens the door to a possible joint venture, which would help to fund the company and drive the stock sharply upward, and the possibility of being granted "Breakthrough Status" with the FDA, which would fast-track remaining clinical trials and, ostensibly, get the treatments to market faster. Conjecture-based. : )
The above point is of great interest to those who want to hang on until their shares have multiplied many times over in value -- there will be no advanced notice. One day you will wake up to find ACTC is skyrocketing in the wake of an announcement and you will have missed out. There are veterinary medicine trials underway at Tuft's University for treatments dealing with five relatively common ailments, and vet meds get to market in far less time than human meds. If successful, profits from the vet med profits could carry the company while they wait on the additional human clinical trial phases to be conducted. While Dr. Lanza is the public face of ACT, some of the brightest minds in stem cells are also part of the ACT team. Irina Klimanskaya for example, a brilliant, tenacious researcher who came to the team from Harvard University and is highly accomplished in her own right. Or Dr. Robert Langer, who is an Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and recently appeared in a televised award ceremony in which he was given a "Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences" and who is also on the ACT Board of Directors. ACT gains its stem cells via the same process used for genetic testing of embryos, meaning they use the same method employed to test embryos in which a single cell is extracted, for parents who might have a genetic condition and want to check if it has been passed to their child, and so does not require destruction of the embryo, which in turn means ACT is not subject to many of the ethical objections raised against other companies. Please see the response to this post for the continuation.

Ebos Group will list on the ASX Australian stock exchange in early December, saying it has already seen extra interest from Australian investors.
The Australian listing board had set aside December 6 as the listing date, the Christchurch-based company said.
Trading was expected to commence on or around that date under the code EBO.
Ebos' primary listing will remain on the NZX.
Ebos managing director Mark Waller said the dual listing on the ASX would give greater ability to Australian institutional and retail investors to trade the company's shares.
This would deepen liquidity or the trading of shares for the benefit of all shareholders, Waller said.
Earlier this year Waller said the company was working toward an Australian listing, including conversations with the ASX on compliance issues.
There was already some investment in Ebos from institutions across the Tasman and extra interest should help the share price, he said at the time.
Ebos shares were 18 cents weaker at $9.20 in early afternoon trade.
In terms of its business model Ebos had built a "highway" for distribution of medical, pharmaceuticals, petcare and other supplies to GP offices, pharmacies, hospitals and veterinary outlets New Zealand-wide.
It recently bought Australian-based Symbion from the Swiss Zuellig family.
"The $1.1 billion acquisition of Symbion earlier this year transformed Ebos into the largest diversified Australasian marketer, wholesaler and distributor of healthcare, medical and pharmaceutical products by revenue and a leading Australasian animal care products marketer, wholesaler and distributor," Waller said today
"Since this acquisition we have received increasing interest from Australian investors."
In August Ebos reported a net profit of $28.2 million in the year to June 30, just 1 per cent up from $27.95m in the previous year.
Stripping out the effect of Symbion purchase, which included $6m of one-off transaction costs, Ebos reported a profit of $29.5m, up 5.5 per cent from the June 2012 year.

Baltimore Ravens sponsors ramp up promotion for the Super Bowl
- Jack Lambert
- Digital Producer- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
The goal is to let every customer and employee celebrate the Super Bowl in their own way, said Augie Chiasera, president of M&T Bank's greater Baltimore Region.
"We've had a long standing relationship with the Ravens," Chiasera said in an interview. "This is about celebrating their success and the team's success."
PHOTOS: Baltimore buildings glow purple for the Ravens
Some companies are focusing their efforts on advertising during the run up to the game. The Maryland Lottery is running commercials for the last Ravens Cash Fantasy drawing of the year on Feb. 5. The ads will run during Ravens' television specials this week, as well as on WBAL-AM and 98 Rock before and after the Super Bowl, said Carole Everett, a spokeswoman for the state agency.
Giant Food is continuing its "Letters to the Ravens" promotion at Maryland food stores and will also run advertisements on radio and television this week, said Jamie Miller, a Giant spokesman. Customers can also expect to see lots of purple while shopping this week.
"As customers come into our store this week they will see a very large Ravens presence," Miller said.
Advance has plans for a Friday tailgate party at its Cockeysville headquarters, said Jeff Elkin, the document solutions provider's president. A small group from the company is also heading down to New Orleans for the game.
The company only purchased a limited number of tickets through the Ravens, so the trip is more fun than business, Elkin said. But the Ravens Super Bowl run has made business more fun over the last couple of weeks, he said.
"It's a great time to be in business in Baltimore," Elkin said. "People are very excited."

Official Washington is in full meltdown mode as politicians and pundits frantically one-up each other in over-the-top rhetoric on the Ukraine crisis. But now the madness is shifting into legislative excesses to sanction Russia, notes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.

A Selective View of 'Democracy'
Americans like the idea of promoting "democracy," but prominent U.S. commentators praised the ouster of democratically elected leaders in Egypt and Ukraine, siding with military coup makers in Egypt and right-wing rioters in the streets of Ukraine. That suggests "democracy" is a malleable concept for many in Official Washington, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar…

Ex-Im Bank launches short-term credit line for small exporters
- Kent Hoover
- Washington Bureau Chief
- Email | Twitter | Google
The Export-Import Bank launched a new credit program to provide additional liquidity for small exporters.
Called Global Credit Express, the program will a revolving line of credit of up to $500,000 for six to 12 months. It will start as a pilot program, offering $100 million in financing through a few lenders across the nation. Ex-IM Bank will then evaluate the results and decide whether to make more financing available through this program.
This credit program is designed to support the business of exporting, not specific export transactions. Ex-Im Bank, an independent federal agency, provides direct loans, credit guarantees and credit insurance for U.S. exporters.
Small exporters interested in the Global Credit Express program can get more information by calling 1-800-565-3946 and selecting option 2.
President Barack Obama announced the new Ex-Im Bank program during a visit to Boeing's Dreamliner plant in Everett, Wash.
He also called on Congress to quickly reauthorize the agency. Ex-Im Bank's current authorization expires May 31. But because of record demand for export financing, it likely will hit its $100 billion lending ceiling by the end of March. Unless that cap is raised, the bank will be forced to stop making loans.
Fourteen business groups, including the National Small Business Association, recently sent a letter to members of Congress this week urging them to reauthorize Ex-Im Bank and raise its lending cap. While most of Ex-Im Bank's dollars support large exporters such as Boeing, nearly 90 percent of the agency's transactions involve small businesses.
"Last year alone, the bank supported 290,000 American jobs that we can't afford to lose -- and at no cost to the taxpayer," said Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers. "Since 2005, the bank has returned more than $3 billion to the U.S. Treasury.
"If the bank is not reauthorized and the lending cap increased, the competitiveness of thousands of small and medium-sized businesses will be adversely impacted, and we will lose out to our competitors, hurting job growth and our economy," Timmons said.

Recent Key Largo reviews
"The condo was great and a definite step up from a hotel room at the Marriott. It had all of the amenities found at home with facilities that were pleasant and comfortable. The new windows that were recently installed are a huge improvement and stopped the noise from the Overseas Highway traffic. The pool was wonderful and the sunset view is quite beautiful. Overall it was a good, quiet and relaxing experience. Close to Winn-Dixie and Publix made it very convenient for provision shopping. A ton of restaurants nearby provided everything we needed."
"Thanks Jackie and Darrell. Your home is fantastic and the neighbors were inviting. We had a blast in the waterways nearby and the boat ramp is convenient and close. The super markets and restaurants are nearby with so many activities to allure you away, we had more fun at the house than going out. Load up the fridge and enjoy the backyard grill and amenities. We will be back again very soon!"
"We had a very enjoyable stay at Bill and Harriet's condo at Moon bay. They were very easy to work with. We found everything we needed in the condo and it is very nicely appointed. The grounds are very well maintained. We went out charter fishing from Postcard inn marina with Jon on the Drop Back. Snorkeling was awesome. We had sunny weather the entire trip."
"We stayed at the villa in January 2015. The views are amazing. My husband that loves to fish spent hours on the dock catching fish after fish. It is also convenient to charter fishing. My kids were able to walk right out and go swimming. The villa itself was well stocked and very clean. Gaston was very easy to deal with and check in/out was very smooth. I would definitely stay there again!"

MDMR removes equipment from boats before sale
Published: July 10,2013
Tags: BILOXI, Commission on Marine Resources, Melissa Scallan, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources
BILOXI — The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources has removed the electronics from two large fishing vessels that will be sold.
The Sun Herald reports that the equipment removal was discovered when potential buyers took a tour of the two boats Tuesday.
The MDMR is selling a 36-foot Topaz and a 42-foot Californian. They are docked in Biloxi and are worth an estimated $400,000. MDMR received the vessels from a foundation run by the agency's former director.
The vessels will be open for inspection again tomorrow and the bids will be opened Tuesday at the Commission on Marine Resources meeting.
MDMR spokeswoman Melissa Scallan says the equipment that was removed is beneficial to the agency, such has VHF radios, radar and GPS systems.

Poverty & DevelopmentFrench police probe scooter killings links Police say same gun and scooter used in both Jewish school attack in Toulouse that left four dead and soldier shootings. 20 Mar 2012 03:54 GMT | Poverty & Development, Europe French anti-terrorist prosecutors have linked a shooting at a Jewish school in Toulouse with two deadly attacks on soldiers in the same region last week. A police source told the AFP news agency that the same weapon and the same stolen scooter appeared to have been used in all three attacks after Monday's school shooting left four people dead, including three children. Politicians and justice officials noted similarities between Monday's incident and the March 11 murder of a soldier in the same southwestern city and another shooting four days later. In that attack, three soldiers were shot, two fatally, in the garrison town of Montauban, just 46km away from Toulouse. All three attacks were carried out by the rider of a powerful, dark-coloured scooter, using a .45-calibre weapon, who witnesses described as calmly shooting his victims at point-blank range. In Montauban, witnesses told how the killer had time to turn over one of the wounded men who was trying to crawl away and fire three more shots into him before getting back on his scooter and making his escape. The first victim, a 30-year-old non-commissioned officer, was dressed in civilian clothes when he was shot dead in a Toulouse street just eight days ago. In Monday's killings, the shooter opened fire outside the school with a 9mm calibre weapon, which jammed. He then produced a second weapon, a pistol of the same .45 calibre as that used in the other attacks, and chased children into the school to continue his spree. Possible pattern Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland, reporting from Toulouse, said that people were particularly concerned by the sense that a pattern of killings was emerging. "It would seem to be a huge coincidence otherwise; over the space of eight days you have three attacks, all of which involve an attacker on a motorcycle wearing a black helmet and the same sort of gun. So the evidence is starting to stack up." Patrick Rouimi, the father of a child at the school, told the AFP news agency that the attacker opened fire on a group of people standing at a spot where children were picked up for school. "He shot at everything he could see, children and adults, and some children were chased into the school," Michel Valet, the local prosecutor, told journalists. Nicole Yardeni, president of the Council of Jewish Institutions in France, told Al Jazeera that the children who were killed were younger siblings of those who attend the school. "There is an eight-year-old, a six-year-old and a three-year-old that are dead and a 17-year-old that [attends] the school, that is between life and death at the hospital," Yardeni said. "He was shooting at them, even catching them and shooting them in their heads." 'National tragedy' French President Nicolas Sarkozy rushed to the school, ordering increased security at Jewish and Muslim buildings around Toulouse, while his prime minister ordered officials to "secure" all school and religious buildings. France has Europe's largest Jewish community, estimated at up to 700,000 people. A local prosecutor said the gunman "opened fire at everything that moved" [AFP] Speaking after meeting security officials, Sarkozy said "exceptional security measures" would be taken in the Midi-Pyrenees region and that it was being put on "scarlet" terror alert, the highest possible level. "It is a national tragedy," said Sarkozy, denouncing the "savagery" of the attack, and vowing to find the killer. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, described the attack as "despicable murder of Jews". "It is too early to determine exactly what the background to the murderous act was, but we certainly cannot rule out the option that it was motivated by violent and murderous anti-Semitism," he said. Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General, the White House, and the Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat also issued statements condemning the attack. Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

If there's one question that can keep a woman awake all night, it's probably, "Does he really like me?" Lose sleep no more! Based on his Chinese animal sign, here are a few clues that he's into you ...
Share a free sample Vedic Matchmaker. Are you meant to be together? Get answers from the most comprehensive reading on Vedic compatibility today!
Is he opening up and telling you his secrets? Rabbit men are typically a little hesitant about trusting people right away. If he's revealing his vulnerable side, you can probably bet he's falling for you.
A Rat man usually looks for a smart, funny gal-pal type. Is he calling you just to chat? Asking you to come to his sister's dance recital? This guy typically will treat you like his best friend who he's also totally crazy about.
Oxen guys tend to express their feelings in practical ways. He may be hard to read on the surface, but look for clues that point to him taking care of your well-being and safety. If he offers to fix your flat tire or give you a ride to the airport when it's clearly out of his way, that's probably his way of showing he cares.
Since Tiger men are typically aggressive and demonstrative, take it as a good sign if he's moving quickly and eager to get his hands on you. With him, it's not sleaziness. He just can't contain his passion for you!
Since Dragon guys love to show off, you'll probably know he likes you when he sends flowers to your work or buys you dinner at a 5-star restaurant.
The Snake man usually values his quiet time more than any other sign. If he's giving up a night in with a good book for your best friend's birthday party, he's probably not doing it just to be polite.
This man is usually the independent, free-spirit type. If he's asking you along on his adventures and giving up his autonomy to be with you, he's probably been bitten by the love bug.
He tends to be a hopeless romantic with a very sensitive side. Did he visit your sick grandmother at the hospital? Did he call you to see how that job interview went? If so, it's probably because he genuinely cares.
This fun-loving, generous guy usually wants nothing more than to make you laugh and shower you with presents. If he's cracking jokes and sending you little trinkets, it's probably safe to say he can't stop thinking about you.
Since he tends to be a bit critical and know-it-all, you can almost guarantee he likes you if he's letting you win arguments or has put a lid on that endless sarcasm!
The Dog guy is typically a loyal companion for life. Is he on your side even when he thinks you're wrong? Does he give up his free time to help you with things? If so, he's probably trying to win you over.
You'll know you've snagged a Pig when he makes you more special than all the other women in his life -- and he usually has many. If he's giving up dinner with his mom to take you out on a date, it's almost certain he's got his eye on you.

AMD Watermark: "Testing Use Only"
Published on 19 July 2007 10:36 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
1 Comment
Today AMD had released the
8.39.4 display driver
, which offers support for Fedora 7 and also corrects some bugs. However, at least one serious issue has crept into this driver. If you are running the fglrx driver right now, chances are there's a black and green watermark in the lower right hand corner of your screen that says "AMD Testing Use Only". This watermark is only supposed to display on internal/beta fglrx builds.
This watermark is appearing as a signature file in
is not generated when using distribution-specific packaging scripts. If you run the graphical fglrx installer,
will be properly generated and you won't experience these problems. However, if you are using the
argument with Fedora, Ubuntu, and other distributions, this file is not generated. With the missing signature, you are stuck with this watermark. This signature file doesn't appear to work if copying between computers.
AMD is currently investigating this issue but currently there is no official workaround. This presents the possibility that AMD will be issuing a hot-fix Linux driver release tomorrow or early next week. Discuss this in the
Phoronix Forums
