Isn't there already a bank tax called the FDIC?
PRESIDENT OBAMA has made news by making it known that he is considering a bank tax of some sort, ostensibly to help recoup the cost of the government's financial interventions. It's not clear what kind of tax might be in the works. The administration has previously expressed a lack of interest in either a transactions tax or a special tax on bonuses, though those might have found their way back on the table. According to the New York Times' Jackie Calmes, the lead contender at the moment is a tax based on bank size, or some combination of size and interconnectedness.
Much of the discussion of the tax on the economics blogosphere has concerned the likely incidence of such a tax (see this and this)—would a bank pass on the cost of the tax to taxpayers? Interest in this angle likely stems in part from recently related news that London firms were largely absorbing the cost of the special bonus tax and paying bonuses out in full.
It's an interesting point, but not the most important one, which is that a tax on size would seek to correct for the large negative externality associated with the systemic risk presented by too-big-to-fail banks. The larger a bank gets, the less likely the government is to allow it to fail, and the more shielded it is from potential losses. Size therefore generates some significant social costs, particularly since the negative externality encourages firms to take on too much risk. A tax on bank size would get firms to internalise the social cost.
And if banks were to pass the cost of the tax on to customers, that might not be such a bad thing, given that it would give a relative price boost to smaller banks. Consumers are notoriously reluctant to change banks, a fact which reduces the beneficial effect of competition. But as with a carbon tax, the effect of the levy would be to reduce bank size, regardless of who bears the cost of the tax. Even though size and connectedness aren't the be all and end all of systemic risk—leverage is key, as well—this kind of measure would be a positive step toward limiting systemic risk and moral hazard in the American banking system. And it would be another step toward a balanced budget. That's a lot to like.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Lotus Evora S; a faster, lairier, more sideways version of Hethel's most excellent sports coupe.
Addressing a tiny bugbear we've had for some time on the Evora, the S gets a supercharger strapped to its 3.5-litre Toyota V6 loins, upping power to a rather righteous 345bhp and 295lb ft of torque...and finally into genuine sportscar country.
The 0-62mph dash now takes 4.6s (4.9s for the standard car), while top speed rises 10mph to 172mph.
The sideways-ness comes courtesy of revised traction control settings, allowing more drift before the system intervenes. You even get more 'grrr' with the S, thanks to an exhaust bypass valve courtesy of the standard fit sports pack, which also improves throttle response.
The Evora S gets revised suspension settings, a larger rear diffuser and cross-drilled brakes to deal with the added grunt under the bonnet, while Lotus is - unusually - also offering a paddle-shift auto for the standard Evora.
Still want that Cayman?

NOW Walnut/Wormwood parasite cleanse causing Enormous bloating
I'm a week into a parasite cleanse and am incredibly bloated - pregnancy bloated - from gas & water retention. I can hardly wear my clothes & have a double-chin that smooths when I press it, so this must be water retention. Am eating vegetarian diet with no gluten, grain or milk products. Could die-off be causing this? I'm using NOW brand 'Fresh Green Black-Walnut Wormwood Complex' & have passed a couple of different kinds of parasites.
Since the second day I've been very tired and heavy-feeling, and have had huge black circles under my eyes. Bowel movements are regular and there's no psyllium in this product, however I'm not passing all the water I'm drinking (10 glasses or so a day with lime, also a couple of glasses of water with a Tbsp of ACV). Any ideas? I did read somewhere that this could be Tapeworms releasing yeast during their die-off. Is this normal? Would welcome advice from anyone experienced in parasite cleanses on whether it's safe for me to continue. My intuition says keep going.

Guest chapter 1 . 6/30/2012 Rofl, underlings |
Kaede Milfields chapter 9 . 1/2/2012 Could you put me in this? I'd probably look like this: blond bangs hang down in my face, and I'd have black short hair with lue highlights. I would be wearing a black sweatshirt with the front open, navy blue shirt with the words 'It's not spamming the trigger it's repeatedly pressing the trigger in a rapid motion.' on it, blue jeans that are too long, and black tennis shoes. I'd be around 5'4. |
RevolutionZwei chapter 9 . 6/1/2011 What's this? You'd make Wesker 'nekked' in every RE game? Well I guess it's a good thing you don't own RE then, :P.

XDD Oh my gosh, I love the way you write, babe lol. Right from the get go, you have me laughing, imagining the fangirl leader, Sam, with her drawing of stick figure Wesker fans carrying him away, XDDD. And the image of Chris melting into a puddle of muscles...lmao! Man, Birkin sure is dense lol. How can a scientist be so stupid? Lol! He wasn't all that bright in the games anyway though...I mean really? Injecting himself with the G-Virus and mutating like crazy? Seriously, who gave that guy a license to be a scientist? Lol!

You sure make it seem like they are, but maybe they're just really good friends, I don't know lol. But yeah, I stand by Grusnoid, skinny jeans are just...no...lol. LMAO! Man, this story is just too good! I love the way you write, have I mentioned that? Jill's thoughts to herself were too funny...And she fell into a manhole because of it lol. Well, she was always falling down things in RE3, so she's probably used to it. Oh Leon lol...he's so crazy! That blonde emo swoop haircut of his drives the ladies crazy lol...except for Jill apparently, XDD. But damn! When did Leon turn into Superman? Lmao! Chris is so stupid lol...no wonder he didn't even notice Jill was gone, his muscles probably blocked her out! They block out the sun and pretty much everything else, so...lol. They sent Barry to donut rehab? LMAO! I never knew such a place existed! Lol, too bad they don't have ice cream cake rehab, :P. *Stares at you* Uh huh! Lol! *Spits out Coke* Okay, see? Brad just...wooooow! What can I say? He can make his ass cheeks clap, the dude has skill...Lmao! Not something you want to blurt out over the phone though, XDDDDD. But hey, at least Chris found himself a new partner lol. Will Jill ever be free from the sewers though? Lol. Doesn't matter, a plan is in action! Oh God, run Chris, run! LMAO! You had so many memorable lines, but I think the best so far has GOT to be the angels singing 'ahhhh' in A minor...XDDDD. Brilliant lol. Describes the sunglasses bathed in golden light perfectly lol. Where the hell is the rest? :P...Oh, right...I'm usually taking up the majority of your time, huh? Lol. Well, hopefully you'll be able to continue real soon, because lots of people, myself included, are anxiously awaiting the next chapter of this brilliant story!

I would like to suggest that you bring the Jem'hadar, Breen, and Reman sets closer to par with the STF sets. And more importantly give them bigger advantages so that you bring an interesting balance to PVP via a system of checks and balances, that is to say tradeoffs.
This would mean my opponents are not always going to have plasma resistance so I can use plasma weapons sometimes.
Here's a possible scenario: Give the Breen set a strong resistance to phasers. Give the Jem'hadar set a strong resistance to antiproton beams. Or whatever combination makes sense canonically. Improve the Reman plasma torpedo bonus (not just for HY anymore) and add a bonus for plasma beams, too. Give them disruptor resistance.
Plain and easy: remove all energy resists of the shields, that will make it easier. But I agree, Borg, maco, omega and hg sets are the only competitive ones for pvp. If theyll make the other ones better, who would grind the stfs like crazy anymore? And since cryptic fails to adopt a pvp strategy, people like us either get bored to death with pve, either shut up like obedient slaves and support the big pve machine cryptic became, either have enough, tell sto to F.O. and go play mwo, lol.

20 Things You Might Not Have Known About the James Bond Movies
With 'Casino Royale', 'Quantum of Solace' and 'Skyfall', the Daniel Craig era of the James Bond movies has been the most successful films of the entire franchise on both a critical and commercial level. That's pretty good for an actor a lot of Bond fans hated when he was originally cast (The Daily Mirror in London ran the headline "The Name's Bland. James Bland."). With the next installment in Craig's 007 series—'Spectre'—set for release in November, we thought we'd take a look back at the previous three films in the latest installment of You Think You Know Movies!

Dream 1
Just as the starving cattle come
To drink at fall of night.
They came to me with faltering steps,
And laces wan and white ;
And they were there at dawn of flay
With streaming hair and eyes,
And piteous looks that seemed to say,
' Help us ere all good dies.'
I lifted up my bleeding fe et
And let the red drops fall,
I raised the oaken yoke and showed
The big hot spots of gall.
I said, ' I am mysell a tdave,
liound by a man-made law.
I weep my fate but cannot save,
So plead with me no more.'
They cried, 'Oh, sister ! Hide your feet,
Anti let the hard yoke fall,
You tread the press for wine alone,
Hut you are strong withal.
'Go, while we watch and weep and wait,
Leave home and love and all ;
But when you reach the outer gate,
Call as the cattle call.
'Cry to the rulers we have borne,
Plead for the babes we bear,
Sue till the dusk from early morn,
Pray till they needs must bear.'
I yielded then, and sought alone
A city near the main ;
Where prejudice, a monster grown,
Held universal reign.
And oft I gave the conflict o'er,
And fell, beleagued by pair
And cruel wrong and losses sore.
Then rose and fought again.
t 'util one fatal day I fell,
Methought to rise no mere.
Mut year went hy and I was we'l,
AUhotigii notas before
A cripple in life's afternoon
Jieside a dead cold hearth,
Willi no glad joybells' lingering croon,
Or hope's bright aftermath.
I listened to the leaden rain
Drone through the dreary dusk,
And wind's intone with weird refrain
Like whispered rue, and rusk.
I said, 'Oh, heart with sorrow sore,
What wait we, you and I ?
The day is lost, and hope is o'er,
Why not curse good and die-'
Hut hark I quick step nears my door.
A woman's form I see,
She comes acro-s my humble floor
And look.-, with joy on me.
A glad voice naid, ' I came to thee,
On this thrice-blessed day
To tell you, sister, we are free !
To kneel with you and pray.'
I quickly sank upon my knees,
And looked the thanks I thought,
That He Who e'en a sparrow sees
I lad watched us as we fought.
And now I see the forms again,
All chanced from those of yore.
Xot like the slaves who Legged in vain
I or freedom as before.
Ah, not ;n sackcloth sit they now,
Erect is every head,
For Freedom's crown adorns each brow
Their dress is Royal Ked.
Their yokes are carved to standard- light
Ilfdd in each firm right hand,
And floating free are letters hright
' l-'or Home and Native I,and-''
And hopefully they speak and move,
And sing as on (hey go,
For they will have the land they love
From HID, and want, and woe.'

PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 Eyefinity 5 Edition Review - PAGE 17
Chris Ledenican - Monday, July 12th, 2010 Like ShareTemperature:
To measure core GPU temperature, MSI's Kombustor was used. The idle temperature was taken after leaving nothing running for up to 15 minutes. The load temperature was taken 15 minutes after starting Kombuster for Multi-Core graphics cards.
The custom cooling solution used by PowerColor works exceptionally well and as you can see from the graph it was the coolest running card out of all the contenders. I know it's odd to see the overclocked temperatures being lower than stock, but the simple reason is that the fan was set to 67% rotation to keep the overclocked core cool.
Power Usage:
To measure power usage, a Kill A Watt P4400 power meter was used. Note that the above numbers represent the power drain for the entire benchmarking system, not just the video cards themselves. For the 'idle' readings we measured the power drain from the desktop, with no applications running; for the 'load' situation, we took the sustained peak power drain readings at the end of a 30 minute Kombustor run.
The PowerColor HD 5770 Eyefinity 5 edition card did a good job maintaining a low power requirement, but it did use more wattage than the non Eyefinity cards while idle.
The PowerColor Eyefinity 5 edition graphics card might not be the ultimate high resolution enthusiast card, but let's face it, gaming at such high resolutions with the image spanning across multiple monitors is going to take its toll on any GPU. This isn't to say that this card wasn't a stellar performer because it was and in fact, it did exceptionally well in many of the 3x1 benchmarks where it maintained a frame rate around 30FPS, which is actually a very smooth. The 2x2 testing, however, did prove to be a bit much as most titles ran choppy across the four monitors.
Aside from the gaming aspects this card works exceptionally well for multi-tasking and with the extra screen space available, it would be easy to customize your workstation to best fit your needs and increase productivity. Also, since this card doesn't carry the high retail price of other graphics card that utilize the Eyefinity technology (beyond just 3 monitors) it opens up the technology to a much wider audience. So, now anyone looking to use Eyefinity that couldn't afford of justify the high price of the Eyefinity 6 models has a great budget option. Still, the premium for the extra connectors and adapters might be a little high.
A few of the other features that make this card appealing include its smaller form factor and a very quiet, yet efficient cooling solution. The smaller size will allow the HD 5770 Eyefinity 5 to fit into small cases with ease and the cooler will reduce the core temperature and decrease the noise level over the reference design.
The only real flaws with the graphics card are that the included DVI adapters will not support resolutions above 1920x1200, so 30" monitors will not be able to reach their highest resolution while using the adapter. It would also have been nice to see some hardware tweaks to improve Eyefinity performance, but even with a faster core and memory the gains would not have been large, so it is understandable that PowerColor used the reference specifications.
All in all, this is a great product that offers all the power of the HD 5770 graphics card, but adds expandability that is unmatched by other graphics cards in the $200 price range.

I'm considering getting this card in a few weeks for a new build, but I have some concerns over the DisplayPort interfaces.
I'll be using it with 5 displays, 4 using DVI and 1 using HDMI. Since it comes with 2 DVI adapters I'll be set for 2 of my displays but what about the other 3? I see you can get DisplayPort to DVI and DisplayPort to HDMI for about $15. But do these adapters work with the card, and do they work without a loss in quality?
Also does the eyefinity software allow you to simply use 5 separate displays the way you would run multiple displays on a non-eyefinity setup?

JUMBO Digital Display Rectal Lumiscope Thermometer Beeps When Ready. $4 AC @ meritline
We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
About the same price as all the other junk thermometers you can buy in supermarkets, Walgreens, Walmart etc. No reason to buy this from Meritline. I had two cheapo ones like this and they were totally inaccurate. Finally spent about $25 on a good ear thermometer that was on sale at Walgreens (was a Slickdeak). Glad I did. What's the point of having one of these if it isn't accurate or you can't trust it...

It goes on and on - of course it has to be so. If you move backwards you will find yourself again and again and again. Otherwise how could you be here? You are supported by your past life, that's why you are here. And your past life is supported by another past life - that's why you were in your past life. And this goes on and on and you cannot ask, "How did I come for the first time?" You never came for the first time because even before that you were. Even before the first time you were supported by a past life - elephants on elephants, elephants on elephants. Hindus are really beautiful. They create absurd stories, but those stories have deep meanings and significances. You are here only because the whole past - not your past, the whole past of existence - is supporting you. You are the whole past and yet you have not been able to exhaust all the absurdities. Do you think it will ever be possible to exhaust all the absurdities of the mind? No, nobody has ever been able to. If you become aware, even one day is enough. If you remain unaware, even millions of lives are not enough. If you become aware, even a single moment is enough to see the absurdity of the mind. And if you go on sleeping and snoring then you can go on sleeping and snoring. That's how you have been in the past, the same you can be in the future.
No, by sleeping you will never exhaust the absurdities of the mind. Don't hope; that is hopeless. That cannot be done. It is impossible. Become alert. It is time, in fact it is already getting late. Become alert, and suddenly you can see. Because absurdities cannot be exhausted by experiencing, they can only be exhausted by experiencing with awareness. By experience alone you will not be able to exhaust them.
You love one woman but the relationship becomes stale and everything goes wrong. Then you start thinking of another woman. The mind says, "This woman is not right for you, but there exists a right woman. You try to find her. You got hooked with the wrong woman, that's why the problem has arisen." The problem has not arisen because of this woman - remember. If you are alert you will see the problem has arisen because of desire, not because of this woman. But the mind says, "Leave this woman, divorce, move to another." And with another the same thing happens - the mind again says, "Find someone else." And you go on and on and on. And the mind will always hope that somebody will turn up someday and everything will be right, and you will be in heaven.
It has not happened, it is not going to happen. Otherwise there would be no need of religion, no need of yoga, no need of Tao. By and by everybody would have come to the right life - but it never happens. But hope goes on winning over experience, and to the very end you go on hoping that someday, somehow, everything will be good.
Hope is the basis of all absurdities and the existence is such that with ignorance and a sleeping mind there is no hope. Become alert.
It happened:
Alexander was coming toward India. He met Diogenes on the way. Diogenes was a rare being - if Diogenes had met Lao Tzu, they both would have sat and laughed and laughed and laughed. They are of the same quality.
Alexander was passing. He heard that Diogenes was just nearby so he went to see him. Even Alexander was impressed by the man, even Alexander felt puny before him. Diogenes was a naked fakir, he had nothing, but his being was such - so magnetic, so powerful - that Alexander was impressed, very impressed. In fact it is said that he was never impressed again by any other man.
He asked the secret of it, "How have you become so powerful, not having anything? And I am a world conqueror, I have almost won the whole world. Just a little more is left; soon I will finish. And you - a naked man, having nothing - what is the secret of your happiness?"
Diogenes is reported to have said, "I renounced hope. That is the secret. And I tell you, you also renounce hope; otherwise you will always suffer."

As ESA's Envisat satellite marks ten years in orbit, it continues to observe the rapid retreat of one of Antarctica's ice shelves due to climate warming.
Natural hazards – like earthquakes and landslides – put people and places at risk every day, but satellites are able to help improve safety and mitigate these risks.
The importance of global and frequent data coverage of volcanoes was highlighted in a recent article published in Science. Satellites are finding that volcanoes previously thought to be dormant are showing signs of unrest.
Satellite are seeing changes in land surfaces in high detail at northern latitudes, indicating thawing permafrost. This releases greenhouse gases into parts of the Arctic, exacerbating the effects of climate change.
International stakeholders met in Copenhagen this week to discuss the contribution of space technologies to one of the region's most affected by climate change.
In the early hours of 1 March 2002, the largest Earth observation satellite ever built soared into orbit from ESA's launch base in Kourou, French Guiana. For a decade, Envisat has been keeping watch over our planet.
In a city where sea level is of particular significance, a scientific conference on the radar that records sea-surface height will be held in September.

The year about to close has been a good one for U.S. stocks, but just how bubbly investors will feel this New Year's Eve might depend on which of the major indexes they follow.
Investors with an eye on the Dow Jones Industrial Average can celebrate a relatively modest 6% price rise in 2012, with one day of trading left. But there will be much more champagne flowing for investors in the Standard & Poor's 500 index, which is set to rack up a handsome double-digit price gain of nearly 12%.
The notable disparity between these two well-known and popular U.S. stock-market measures can be attributed to various differences between them, including some related to index construction and some to stock selection.
For starters, the 26% rise in Apple AAPL 0.15030456451230123% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD126.6 0.19 0.15030456451230123% /Date(1425679200483-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 71871578 AFTER HOURS USD127.05 0.45 0.35545023696682465% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 970482 P/E Ratio 16.947791164658636 Market Cap 736306421936.333 Dividend Yield 1.4849921011058451% Rev. per Employee 2153110 More quote details and news » (ticker: AAPL) goes a long way in explaining the gap. The maker of some of the world's most ubiquitous computer products and telecom gadgets is the biggest stock in the S&P 500 index and the largest single contributor to the S&P's rise in 2012.
It's responsible for roughly 11 points in the S&P's 145-point rise, says David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, which owns and produces both indexes. S&P Dow Jones Indices is 73% owned by McGraw-Hill (MHP), which owns Standard & Poor's; CME Group CME -0.9343853820598007% CME Group Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD95.42 -0.9 -0.9343853820598007% /Date(1425679200160-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1522290 AFTER HOURS USD95.4 -0.02 -0.020959966464053657% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 31104 P/E Ratio 28.31454005934718 Market Cap 32661659669.1385 Dividend Yield 2.0959966464053656% Rev. per Employee 1140110 More quote details and news » (CME) owns 24%, and Dow Jones, which publishes Barron's and is owned by News Corp. NWSA -1.5501608657502193% News Corp Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD16.83 -0.265 -1.5501608657502193% /Date(1425679200137-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2454378 AFTER HOURS USD16.828 -0.002 -0.011883541295306001% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 35003 P/E Ratio 37.4 Market Cap 9838675505.37002 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 395182 More quote details and news » (NWSA), owns just 2.6%.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE DOW, Apple is not a component. Indeed, six of the 10 biggest contributors to the S&P 500's rise are not in the Dow, Blitzer adds.
"Both indexes are imperfect measures of the same thing," says John Manley, chief equity strategist of the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. But the Dow, with its narrow sample of just 30 stocks, can be more significantly moved by one or two stocks than the S&P and its cast of hundreds, Manley says.
Consequently, the 47% plunge by Dow member Hewlett-Packard HPQ -2.411764705882353% Hewlett-Packard Co. U.S.: NYSE USD33.18 -0.82 -2.411764705882353% /Date(1425679260950-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 17205205 AFTER HOURS USD33.17 -0.01 -0.030138637733574444% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 207764 P/E Ratio 12.473684210526315 Market Cap 62134560058.5938 Dividend Yield 1.9288728149487644% Rev. per Employee 364560 More quote details and news » (HPQ) hurt the index this year. "One or two clunkers isn't going to be as much as a factor for the S&P 500," Manley notes.
The small sample risk is further complicated by the Dow's unusual price-weighting construction, where stocks with high prices have more of an influence than those with low prices. This is best seen in the lack of a big boost from Dow component Bank of America BAC 1.375% Bank of America Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD16.22 0.22 1.375% /Date(1425679492291-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 161469296 AFTER HOURS USD16.27 0.05 0.3082614056720099% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1737930 P/E Ratio 45.05555555555556 Market Cap 168313125000 Dividend Yield 1.2330456226880395% Rev. per Employee 350182 More quote details and news » (BAC). Despite its enormous 104% rise in 2012, says Jim Russell, senior equity strategist at US Bank Wealth Management, the bank stock's big move up was muted in the average because the shares have a relatively low price of $11.36, for less than a 1% weighting in the Dow, he adds. The S&P 500, in contrast, weights its components according to their market value.
The fewer members in the Dow, along with its price-weighting construction, also makes it very difficult for a stock to get into the index. With a $510 share price, Apple would have had an inordinate sway on the Dow if it were included. The Dow's "harder to get into than Mrs. Astor's ballroom," Manley quips.
ANOTHER FACTOR IN THE Dow's laggard performance this year had to do with its sector make-up. The financial sector is leading the 2012 rally, and it is the second-biggest weighting in the S&P 500, at about 15%. But financial stocks make up only about 11% of the Dow. The Dow is also underweight health-care stocks, which did well this year, and is overweight underperforming industrials, adds Blitzer.
"The Dow is loaded with tech stocks, which also underperformed in 2012," says Neil Hennessy, CEO of Hennessy Advisors and a close Dow watcher. What's more, it was the wrong kind of tech, like Microsoft MSFT -1.7397355601948503% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD42.36 -0.75 -1.7397355601948503% /Date(1425679200429-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 35016924 AFTER HOURS USD42.44 0.08 0.18885741265344666% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1231861 P/E Ratio 16.944 Market Cap 353665183093.131 Dividend Yield 2.927289896128423% Rev. per Employee 728656 More quote details and news » (MSFT), which eked out a 2% gain, and Intel INTC -1.6009487103468723% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD33.19 -0.54 -1.6009487103468723% /Date(1425679200278-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 31791375 AFTER HOURS USD33.24 0.05 0.15064778547755348% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 581761 P/E Ratio 13.829166666666667 Market Cap 159745277832.031 Dividend Yield 2.892437481169027% Rev. per Employee 523618 More quote details and news » (INTC), which fell 17% — not to mention HP's abysmal performance, he points out.
Other factors are important too. Small- and mid-capitalization stocks outperformed in 2012. The S&P 500 has them, and the Dow doesn't.
Yet there lies the possible basis for the Dow's outperformance in 2013. For most of the year, stocks with purely domestic revenue — typically small and midsize companies — led those with lots of international revenue, usually larger companies. That reversed, however, right after the U.S. election, according to Bespoke Investment Group.
If investors continue to fret about the U.S. fiscal cliff and become more encouraged by signs the global economy is picking up, that could give a lift to the Dow's global mega-cap stocks in tech and the industrials, like Caterpillar CAT -1.7789228315544106% Caterpillar Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD80.06 -1.45 -1.7789228315544106% /Date(1425679221658-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7823109 AFTER HOURS USD80.1 0.04 0.04996252810392206% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 90687 P/E Ratio 13.387959866220736 Market Cap 49408672828.1155 Dividend Yield 3.497376967274544% Rev. per Employee 483083 More quote details and news » (CAT).
"If we get a good year [in 2013] for growth stocks and industrials, the Dow would outperform the S&P 500," Blitzer says. That would be a repeat of 2011, when the Dow rose 5.5%, compared with a flat return from the S&P 500.
Over long periods of time, the two tend to move together, but if global growth returns in 2013, the old Dow's likely to make a nice comeback next year.

Does lysine help with shingles?

Question is Closed | Report Mark as Favorite |

It has been reported to help: extracts from the web are: L-Lysine
Important for healing and for fighting the virus that causes shingles. Lysine may inhibit the replication of the shingles virus.
High amounts of lysine taken over the course of the shingles infection may inhibit the replication of the virus that causes shingles without any of the side effects of other treatments. Lysine can be found in beef, pork, eggs and tofu but it may be necessary to supplement in order to get the large amounts of lysine necessary to obtain these beneficial effects.
However you could talk to the healthcare provider for more authentic details, hope this helps?

United accept record Ron bid
11 Jun 2009 - 10:03:02
Manchester United have shocked the football world after accepting an £80million offer from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo's Old Trafford future had been the subject of intense speculation since the end of the season and Real finally appear to have landed their man after being granted permission to speak with the Portugal international.
United spurned the advances of the Spanish club last summer despite Ronaldo declaring he wanted to move to Madrid.
But following a new world record offer and a fresh suggestion from the 24-year-old wideman that he wanted to move to Spain, United have decided to cash in on the current World and European player of the year.
Real's £80million offer comes just days after they completed a £59million swoop on AC Milan for Kaka.
Madrid president Florentino Perez had openly turned his attention to Ronaldo after landing the Brazil star.
"Manchester United have received a world record, unconditional offer of £80million for Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid," confirmed a club statement.
"At Cristiano's request - who has again expressed his desire to leave - and after discussion with the player's representatives, United have agreed to give Real Madrid permission to talk to the player.
"Matters are expected to be concluded by 30 June. The club will not comment until further notice."
Ronaldo has been at Old Trafford since joining United in a £12.24million deal from Sporting Lisbon in summer 2003.
He has helped the Red Devils win three successive Premier League crowns, the Champions League in 2007/08, one FA Cup and two League Cups during a trophy-laden six years in Manchester.

Sarah Wayne Callies Interview
Positively radiant (and sexy!) in a sleek minidress at Fox's upfronts after-party, Sarah Wayne Callies looked no worse for the wear, having been through such an ordeal early last season as Prison Break's Dr. Sara Tancredi. But now that Michael's love has her head on straight, what's next for the starcrossed pair? I grabbed a few minutes with Callies to get a peek at Season 4.
To steal one Fox publicist's line, "It's good to see you with your head on your shoulders."
That's very kind of you to say!
How does it feel to be promoting the show again? Who made the first overture to get you back?
I'm not sure because they called my representatives. Apparently something had been kicking around for a little while. I was actually in the process of negotiating to be on another show, and this came out of nowhere.
Especially given the circumstances of Dr. Sara's exit.
Especially given that I had not come out a-head in the third season. [Winks] Let's get all those jokes out of the way. But no, it had to do with the fans. I'm enormously grateful for their persistence.
We at TVGuide.com got so much mail....
Oh, yeah. People felt the Michael-Sara romance had been abruptly cut short.
That's interesting. I think it makes sense for me now to return and do justice to that, give it the closure it deserves.
Was Went[worth Miller] glad to see you?
That's a question for Went!
Do you have any idea where Sara will be coming from, emotionally? Is she, I could imagine, totally pissed off?
I think she's been through an enormous amount. Everybody on the show has been. But as one of the few characters who was not familiar with a life of crime before all this started, it's hitting her very hard. So I think this season for her is about negotiating the consequences of the choices she has had to make and the things that have been done to her as a result.

I've asked for them, too, but I haven't read a single script yet, so I don't know. There were so many terrific women in the third season, and I don't think I've ever had a scene with another woman....
No, just that nurse you conned into leaving the infirmary door open.
[Laughs] Yeah, and she's a lovely woman and I'd love to work with her again. But any of the [new Prison Break actresses], I would love to work with.
As a working mom now, are you happier to be filming this season in Los Angeles, versus Chicago or Texas?
It's exciting for me to not have to relocate my family, absolutely.
So for how long do we have you around for? Best case.
I think I'm here to the bitter end, but I've thought that before. So who knows!

The Prison Break actors spilled some secrets on the red carpet at the Fox Upfronts this week! Wentworth Miller said that if he had to describe Prison Break Season 4, the phrase "the Dirty Seven" comes to mind, as all our fave guys join forces to defeat the Company. Wentworth also confirmed that Michael might finally get some action this year and that he's getting his tattoo removed. Wentworth said that the tattoo removal is bittersweet, since that was such a key part of the character in the first two seasons. I'm sure he's thrilled not to have to spend time getting into the tattoo though! Dominic Purcell is thrilled about the move to Los Angeels. "It's about time!" he says. Supposedly the cast was promised that they would move to L.A. in Season 1!" |

Jon DeRosa
Jon DeRosa (b. 21 December, 1978) is a guitarist, composer and singer/songwriter from Brooklyn, NY. Raised in the small shore town of Manasquan, NJ, DeRosa grew up idolizing Glenn Danzig. In his early teens, while studying classical and flamenco guitar and memorizing the entire output of 4AD and Projekt Records, he began writing and recording music. Although DeRosa had been involved with several musical projects by the time he turned eighteen, his dark folk/goth band Dead Leaves Rising was the first of his endeavors to draw national attention and continued to garner acclaim until it was disbanded in 2002.
In 1998, DeRosa lost nearly all hearing in his right ear. The accompanying aural hallucinations inspired DeRosa to start Aarktica, a mostly instrumental, guitar-based atmospheric project that still remains active over a decade later. Aarktica's debut release No Solace In Sleep (Silber Records, 2000) was described by George Parsons of Dream Magazine as "…songlike as a sedated Durutti Column, or as ectoplasmic as Flying Saucer Attack sleepwalking through Windy & Carl's home movies of their trip to Iceland." In the difficult years following his hearing loss DeRosa began studying Indian classical vocal music with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela. His studies with them (and later, Michael Harrison) would be particularly influential to DeRosa and affect all of his musical output from that time forward. Around the time of Aarktica's 2003 release Pure Tone Audiometry, Jon Pareles of the New York Times wrote, "Aarktica's songs are extended reveries, built on loops of guitars and drums and occasional voices. The musical elements hover and circle, float by or bristle with distortion as the songs drift through serenity and trouble." Throughout the 2000's, DeRosa continued performing and releasing music as Aarktica, in addition to playing guitar with New York City chamber pop ensemble Flare. DeRosa also briefly recorded under the name Pale Horse and Rider, releasing two albums of urban country songs during this time. Rob O'Connor at CMJ remarked "DeRosa's not unlike the downcast end of Springsteen. 'Jersey Coast Line' [from 2002's These Are The New Good Times] could very well be Nebraska's 11th track." In 2006, DeRosa lent his voice to Stephin Merritt's opera "The Peach Blossom Fan", as the role of Hou Fang Yu. Some of his contributions were first featured on Merritt's Showtunes album (Nonesuch, 2006). "The Peach Blossom Fan" became available in its entirety in 2008 (Nonesuch). DeRosa continues to record as Aarktica, his most recent releases being 2009/10's In Sea and In Sea Remixes. In 2011, DeRosa unveiled his first eponymous release, the Anchored EP. Novelist Ed Park (The Believer) said of it: "At first, Jon DeRosa's Anchored EP, a quartet of gorgeously layered chamber- pop shanties, seems leagues away from the voluptuous Lovecraftian drift he perfected under his moniker Aarktica. But there are dark spaces here, too, room to brood in the sweet gravel of his voice, in Julia Kent's penetrating cello lines, and in the quiet violence of the lyrics. With a depth that belies its brief running time, Anchored is so perfect that it literally gives you the chills." In April 2012, DeRosa released a limited vinyl edition of his debut full length A Wolf In Preacher's Clothes, and in late 2012 DeRosa will release the album on CD internationally via RocketGirl Records in the UK.

LAS VEGAS -- Can corporates promise members they won't again leverage risk to chase yield and avoid a fourth systemic crisis?
Credit unions are in the risk business. If you don't take risk, you go out of business. It's as simple as that. However, take too much risk and you go out of business, too.
LAS VEGAS -- Given the current focus on how to replace lost investment revenue, how can corporates promise members they won't again leverage risk and experience a fourth systemic crisis?

Kolkata: Demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh following the series of scams, the BJP on Thursday called for a united fight against Congress `misrule`.
"UPA has been rocked by a series of scams from Coalgate to 2G and now this new Railway bribery case. The Prime Minister should take the moral responsibility and resign. We have to free this country from the misrule of the Congress," BJP national general secretary Dharmendra Pradhan told reporters here.
Stressing on the need for increasing the number of allies within the NDA, Pradhan said that in West Bengal BJP would fight the next Lok Sabha elections on its own strength.
"Yes there is a need to bring in more allies under the fold. But in Bengal we will fight the Lok sabha polls on our own strength. We know we are a small party here, but still we will fight according to our strength," said Pradhan.
Pradhan also termed the Centre`s plan to grant special status to Bihar as a ploy.
"These are nothing but crocodile tears of Congress. They are not at all serious and interested in granting special status to Bihar. It is a political message that they are trying to spread," said Pradhan.
