Billy Currington, Kacey Musgraves + Many More Round Out 2015 Country Jam Lineup
The 2015 Country Jam lineup got bigger and even more impressive.
The 2015 Country Jam lineup got bigger and even more impressive.
It's getting closer, folks! The full 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival lineup is now available, and in addition to headliners Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Toby Keith, 14 other acts have been revealed!
Country duo LoCash Cowboys have added additional tour dates to their 2014 Livin' Loud Tour.
Nashville, Tenn. (September 3, 2014) – Voted "favorite country band" by the listeners of Ryan Seacrest at ryanseacrest.com, the LoCash Cowboys are continuing to win fans over all the country! Comprised of Chris Lucas and his musical brother, Prest
Heavy rain showers didn't stop country music fans who'd come from all over to see Willie Nelson on Thursday night. Thousands packed Hunter Mountain in New York for the inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival. Ponchos, umbrellas, cold beverages and great country music kept fans in good spirits while the LoCash Cowboys, Parmalee and Nelson took the stage.
Before kicking off the inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival in Hunter, N.Y. on Thursday night (June 13), Chris Lucas and Preston Brust of the LoCash Cowboys told Taste of Country that one song from their new album could be the 'Duck Dynasty' theme song, should the popular A&E show ever need another. That turned into something of a prophetic statement.
The Locash Cowboys put on a great show this past Saturday night (Dec. 15) at the Liberty Center. Part of the night's festivities was a silent auction, which included a couple of LoCash autographed guitars. The proceeds went to the Sedalia Lions Club Coats and Shoes program.
We were excited to bring the LoCash Cowboys to Sedalia for a special acoustic concert. Chris and Preston put on a fantastic show. They entertained us with songs we've heard them sing on the radio as well as hits they've written that were recorded by others. They also told the story behind the music and some stories of past experiences in Sedalia.
On Saturday we'll welcome the LoCash Cowboys to Sedalia. Of course, we suggest buying your tickets in advance for this special acoustic show. For details on how you can get discounted tickets click here.
Because this is also a holiday show, I can only imagine that you'll be among the first to see them do their new Christmas song live. It's called 'What Time Is It?," and you can watch the music video for the song below.
Yes, there is a Santa Claus, and he does wear red and white, but this sleigh is pulled by Clydesdales. Our friends at Budweiser/County Distributing know that this time of year it's hard to come by extra dollars for entertainment. So here you go: your chance to get LoCash Cowboys tickets on Tuesday for just $10 a piece. Budweiser is going to make up the difference of the ticket price and send the savings to you.

Alibaba in hot water and Netanyahu before Congress — 5 things to know today by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine March 3, 2015, 8:00 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Hello friends and Fortune readers. U.S. stock futures are slightly down this morning after a stellar showing Monday. Both the S&P 500 index and Dow Jones industrial average set records, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq closed above 5,000 for only the third time since the dot-com bubble of 2000. European shares are largely flat in trading today, while Asian indexes closed mostly lower. Here's what else you need to know about today. 1. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addresses Congress. Netanyahu will take to the floor of Congress this morning at the bequest of Republican leaders. He's expected to reveal U.S. compromises made in its dealings with Iran in an effort to derail negotiations to curb Iran's nuclear program. The Israeli Prime Minister fears that any compromise could lead to Israel's nuclear annihilation. Netanyahu's relationship with President Obama and the White House has grown increasingly tense as he undermines U.S. efforts to work with the Islamic nation. Secretary of State John Kerry is continuing those negotiations today when he meets with his Iranian counterpart in Geneva. 2. Alibaba in hot water in Taiwan. Alibaba BABA crossed the line with Taiwanese officials after it violated investment rules by registering its business in Taiwan as a Singaporean entity, thus hiding its Chinese ownership. Alibaba was told to withdraw from the market within six months and fined $3,800. An Alibaba spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal that the company set up shop in Taiwan in 2008, before the nation allowed investment by Chinese companies. Alibaba.com's Singapore unit is a subsidiary of its Cayman Islands-registered Alibaba.com Ltd. 3. Did U.S. auto sales heat up in February? U.S. auto sales numbers come out today, and analysts anticipate that last month was another good period for carmakers. New car sales could reach almost 1.3 million, an 8% boost compared to February last year, according to auto research company Kelley Blue Book. That would make February the 12th straight month of sales growth. General Motors GM is expected to maintain its lead in the market share battle with Ford F and Toyota TM coming second and third, respectively. 4. Springleaf buys Citigroup's OneMain. Subprime lender Springleaf LEAF will shell out $4.25 billion in cash for Citigroup's consumer finance unit OneMain Financial. OneMain is part of Citi Holdings, the unit Citigroup C created during the financial crisis to hold its unwanted assets. It has been slowly selling or closing the units within Citi Holdings as the bank looks to focus on wealthier clients. OneMain provides small loans for unexpected personal expenses like medical bills or a new washing machine. OneMain will add to Springleaf's reach with the growing number of non-prime customers. 5. Live from Beijing … it's Saturday night! After 40 years on U.S. televisions, "Saturday Night Live" will launch a Chinese version in partnership with Sohu.com, which operates video streaming sites. Sohu.com already streams the U.S. version to its Chinese viewers, but now they will have their very own show featuring comedians and musicians from across China. The deal was struck by Broadway Video Entertainment, a company created by SNL creator Lorne Michaels that also produces such shows as "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and "Portlandia."
Greece's fate awaits and Apple aims for an electric car by 2020 — 5 things to know today by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine February 20, 2015, 8:45 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Hello friends and Fortune readers. Happy Friday! Wall Street futures are little changed this morning, while European shares are mixed. Most Asian indexes remain closed for the Lunar New Year, though Japanese stocks continued their gains from yesterday. Eurozone finance ministers are set to meet today to discuss Greece's latest proposal to lengthen its loan agreement. Here's what else you need to know about today. 1. Eurozone leaders meet to discuss Greece's fate. Finance leaders from the eurozone's leading countries meet today in Brussels to consider Greece's bailout extension. Germany, which was initially not impressed by Greece's revised proposal yesterday, has come around in talks today. Germany called the latest proposal a "good signal" even though it felt it still didn't go far enough. A Greek official told Reuters that the nation had made many concessions and it's time for European Union leaders to give up some ground. Greece needs the deal in order to have enough money to operate their government, but the new left-leaning government has frustrated eurozone officials by abandoning strict austerity conditions demanded in its bailout package. Their 240 billion euro bailout expires this month, and Greece could run out of funds by the end of March if the current talks fall through. 2. 23andMe gains genetic test approval for single disease. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted 23andMe approval to sell its DNA tests for the detection of Bloom Syndrome, a rare genetic disease. The company had been ordered to take its DNA testing kit off the market by the FDA at the end of 2013 due to concerns of inaccurate results. This is the first time the FDA has approved a "direct-to-consumer" genetic test, and the agency said it would reclassify these over-the-counter tests so that they don't need a premarket review. The approval is only for the single disease, but 23andMe hopes that it opens a path to approval for its full test. 3. Apple could have an electric car by 2020. Start saving now — it looks like Apple's aiming to produce its own electric car in as soon as five years, reports Bloomberg. It's an aggressive timeframe. The established automakers typically take five to seven years to develop a new car. An Apple car would go head-to-head with Tesla Motors TSLA and General Motors GM , both of which are planning a 2017 release of an electric vehicle that can travel over 200 miles on one charge. GM and Tesla are aiming to charge less than $40,000 for the new models, making electric vehicles more widely accessible. Apple YNDX . Google's Android operating system is the market leader in Russia, and Yandex says that it is increasingly using that market power to keep rivals from using its other services like maps and mail."The openness of Android belongs to the past," Interfax quoted Yandex's complaint as saying. "The dependence of smartphone producers and developers on GMS has grown so much that Google can dictate the rules of the game." This isn't a new complaint. It's also part of the European Commission's investigation into Google's GOOG practices after competitors called for the company to be broken up.
Netflix soars and Davos starts — 5 things to know today by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine January 21, 2015, 8:59 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Good morning friends and Fortune readers. Wall Street's stock futures are little changed this morning one day after the Dow was able to erase a triple-digit decline and close higher. European indexes are mixed, while Asian shares ended the day mostly higher. Oil prices are rebounding. Traders are digesting President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, delivered late Tuesday, where he struck a defiant tone for his dealings with the new Republican-led Congress and called on his opponents to raise taxes on the rich. Here's what else you need to know for your day ahead. 1. Davos kicks off. World leaders have descended upon Switzerland for day one the World Economic Forum. The annual five-day meeting will be attended by some 2,900 top business and government leaders, including a rare appearance by China's premier Li Keqiang. He will deliver a keynote on China's "new normal" of slower growth. Davos is still primarily a men's club: Only 17% of attendees are women. Fortune talked with Barri Rafferty, CEO of Ketchum North American, about what Davos is like for its few female attendees. 2. Netflix is soaring. Shares of Netflix NFLX are up sharply this morning — and were one of the most actively traded Nasdaq names in premarket trade — one day after the streaming video company said it is growing faster overseas than previously expected, a factor that was seen as offsetting slower growth in the U.S. It also posted an adjusted profit that was much stronger than expected. 3. S&P settles fraud allegations. Standard & Poor's has agreed to pay more than $58 million to settle charges brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which alleged the ratings company engaged in "fraudulent misconduct" in how it rated certain commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS). The SEC's action is the first-ever against a major ratings firm and requires S&P to take a one-year suspension from rating certain CMBS in addition to the monetary fine. 4. Microsoft reveals more about Windows 10. Microsoft MSFT takes the stage today to present more details about its latest and greatest update to its Windows platform. The company first announced Windows 10 last September, but was vague about the specifics. More specs will be revealed today by CEO Satya Nadella and Windows chief Terry Myerson. There's also talk that Microsoft will preview a new phone-laptop hybrid in an appeal to business users. 5. Alibaba's getting into life insurance. Alibaba Group BABA is making its way into the Chinese life insurance business, giving some the idea that the company is looking to disrupt the nation's financial sector. Alibaba, along with a consortium of investors, participated in a $4.7 billion share purchase of China's second-largest insurance company Ping An last month. The e-commerce giant is now looking to buy shares in the state-run New China Life Insurance Co., according to a local media report. There are no details on the size of the deal as of yet. —Reuters contributed to this report.
These are the top 10 geopolitical risks of 2015 by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine January 5, 2015, 8:26 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Ian Bremmer, TIME International stories rise and fall so quickly in today's media. On Monday, it's civil conflict in Ukraine. On Tuesday, it's the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS). By Wednesday, the headlines are on to something else. Amid the global whiplash, it's easy to lose sight of the larger picture. So as the new year begins, it's useful to take a broader look at where these stories are headed—and to track the next wave of market-moving surprises in international politics. Every January Eurasia Group, the political risk consultancy I founded and oversee today, publishes Top Risks, a roundup of the geopolitical trends we consider most likely to change our world in the coming year. This ranking reflects our forecast of which global storylines are most likely to play out over the next 12 months, which will have biggest impact on the markets and politics—and where we can expect surprises. In 2015, political conflict among the world's great powers is in play more than at any time since the end of the Cold War. U.S. relations with Russia are now fully broken. China's powerful President Xi Jinping is creating a new economy, and the effects will be felt across East Asia and the rest of the world. Geopolitical uncertainty has Turkey, the Gulf Arab states, Brazil and India hedging their bets. But the year's top risk is found in once placid Europe, where an increasingly fractured political environment is generating new sources of conflict. 1. The politics of Europe European economics aren't as bad as they were at the height of the eurozone crisis in 2012, but the politics of the continent are now much worse. Within key countries like Britain and Germany, anti-EU political parties continue to gain popularity, undermining the ability of governments to deliver on painful but needed reforms. Friction is growing among European states, as peripheral governments come to increasingly resent the influence of a strong Germany unchecked by weak France or absent Britain. Finally, a resentful Russia and an aggressive ISIS will add to Europe's security worries. 2. Russia Sanctions and lower oil prices have weakened Russia enough to infuriate President Vladimir Putin, but not enough to restrain his actions. Moscow will continue to put pressure on Ukraine, and as a result, U.S. and European sanctions will tighten. As Russia's economy sags, Putin's approval ratings will depend increasingly on his willingness to confront the West. Western companies and investors are likely targets—on the ground and in cyberspace. 3. The effects of China slowdown China's economic growth will slow in 2015, but it's all part of Xi's plan. His historically ambitious economic reform efforts depend on transitioning his country to a consumer-driven economic model that will demand levels of growth that are lower, but more sustainable. The continuing slowdown should have little impact inside China. But countries like Brazil, Australia, Indonesia and Thailand, whose economies have come to depend on booming trade with a commodity-hungry China, will feel the pain. 4. The weaponization of finance For the moment, the American public has had enough of wars and occupations, but the Obama administration still wants to exert significant influence around the globe. That's why Washington is weaponizing finance on a new scale. The U.S. is using carrots (access to capital markets) and sticks (varied types of sanctions) as tools of coercive diplomacy. The advantages are considerable, but there is a risk that this strategy will damage U.S. companies caught in the crossfire between Washington and targeted states. Transatlantic relations could suffer for the same reason. 5. ISIS, beyond Iraq and Syria ISIS faces military setbacks in Iraq and Syria, but its ideological reach will spread throughout the Middle East and North Africa in 2015. It will grow organically by setting up new units in Yemen, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, and it will inspire other jihadist organizations to join its ranks—Ansar Bayt al Maqdas in Egypt and Islamists in Libya have already pledged allegiance to ISIS. As the militant group's influence grows, the risk to Sunni states like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt will rise. 6. Weak incumbents Feeble political leaders, many of whom barely won reelection last year, will become a major theme in 2015. Brazil's Dilma Rousseff, Colombia's Juan Manuel Santos, South Africa's Jacob Zuma, Nigeria's Goodluck Jonathan and Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan will each face determined opposition and formidable obstacles as they try to enact their political agendas. 7. The rise of strategic sectors Global businesses in 2015 will increasingly depend on risk-averse governments that are more focused on political stability than on economic growth, supporting companies that operate in harmony with their political goals and punishing those that don't. We'll see this trend in emerging markets, where the state already plays a more significant role in the economy, as well as in rogue states searching for weapons to fight more powerful governments. But we'll also see it in the U.S., where national security priorities have inflated the military industrial complex, which now includes technology, telecommunications and financial companies. 8. Saudi Arabia vs Iran The rivalry between Shiite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia is the engine of conflict in the Middle East. Given the growing reluctance of Washington and other outside powers to intervene in the region, increasingly complex domestic politics within these two countries and rising anxiety about the ongoing negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, we can expect Tehran and Riyadh to use proxies to fuel trouble in more Middle Eastern countries than ever in 2015. 9. Taiwan/China Relations between China and Taiwan will deteriorate sharply in 2015 following the opposition Democratic Progressive Party's landslide victory over the ruling Nationalist Party in local elections this past November. If China decides that its strategy of economic engagement with Taiwan has failed to advance its ultimate goal of reunification, Beijing might well backtrack on existing trade and investment deals and significantly harden its rhetoric. The move would surely provoke public hostility in Taiwan and inject even more anti-mainland sentiment into the island's politics. Any U.S. comment on relations between China and Taiwan would quickly increase resentment between Beijing and Washington. 10. Turkey Lower oil prices have helped, but President Erdogan has used election victories in 2014 to try to sideline his political enemies—of which there are many—while remaking the country's political system to tighten his hold on power. But he's unlikely to win the authority he wants this year, creating more disputes with his prime minister, weakening policy coherence and worsening political unpredictability. Given the instability near Turkey's borders, where the war against ISIS rages, that's bad news. Refugees from Syria and Iraq are bringing more radicalism into the country and adding to economic hardship.
Total faces fresh corruption charges over Iran contracts by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine November 26, 2014, 5:59 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Oil major Total SA is to face charges of corruption in France in relations to contracts with Iran in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Financial Times reported Wednesday. The news is a disappointment to the company, which had hoped to draw a line under the affair after paying $398 million last year to settle similar charges in the U.S. brought by the Department of Justice. The DoJ had maintained that Total paid around $60 million in bribes between 1995 and 2004 to get contracts for two major Iranian oil and gas projects. After the deal, it had agreed not to prosecute the French group under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The new development comes only a month after Total's chief executive officer, Christophe de Margerie, was killed as his plane collided with a snowplow on a runway in Moscow. De Margerie had been head of the group's Middle East exploration and production unit at Total at the time the bribes were made. He had always insisted that neither he nor the company had broken French law. There is no suggestion of any connection between de Margerie's death and the decision by French prosecutors to bring the issue to trial. The FT reported that the judicial inquiry into the case had started in 2006.
Deadline on Iran nuclear talks pushed back till June by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine November 24, 2014, 10:40 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Negotiations to curb Iran's nuclear program ended in a stalemate Monday, as the six-power group conducting the talks with the Islamic Republic pushed back the deadline for striking a final deal to next June. "No agreement has yet been reached, but there has been substantial progress," the news agency RIA Novosti quoted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as saying as he left the talks in Vienna. The postponement means that Iran has won itself another seven months' breathing space in which to carry on developing its program, in the face of western suspicions in that it wants to build a nuclear bomb. Teheran says it is only looking to use nuclear power in civil energy projects. The U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency says it hasn't been able to confirm this. The talks aimed to lay any doubts about Iran's intentions to rest, in return for loosening the sanctions that have hamstrung its economy. Hopes for a deal had risen after the more moderate Hassan Rouhani replaced the hardline Mahmoud Ahmedinajad as Iran's President last year. Western nations agreed to relax sanctions against Iran in July in exchange for new limits on the program and an extension of talks on a final status agreement until this Monday. Ministers will now resume negotiations next month and aim to wrap up a deal within three to four months, according to Britain's Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond. Hammond told the BBC that the failure to reach a deal was "a disappointment, but rather than continue blindly, we have to recognise the reality that we're not going to make a deal tonight." With a final deal still pending, Iran will still be allowed to access $700 million a month in oil assets that were frozen under U.S. sanctions, the BBC reported. The political backdrop in the Middle East has changed rapidly since the parties made a breakthrough on talks last year. This year has seen Iran and the U.S. work together–if only informally–to combat the Sunni jihadi movement Islamic State in Iraq. However, any rapprochement between the two–and indeed, a broader deal on lifting sanctions–looks less likely after the Republicans took control of the Senate in mid-term elections earlier in November.
What you need to know about today's broken Iran talks by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine November 24, 2014, 9:03 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Like any high-wire negotiations, the Iran nuclear talks that blew through a second deadline today have a complicated—and evolving—back story. Behind them are an American president's hunger for a foreign policy legacy, a shifting geopolitical terrain that puts two enemies on the same side of the war against ISIS—and a secret letter enraging Obama critics, including Israel, who fear he won't halt Tehran's march toward nuclear weapons. Right now it appears today's deadline will be extended, making this a good day to step back and put the talks in perspective, which I recently did with Danielle Pletka, veteran Middle East watcher and senior vp at the American Enterprise Institute. I interviewed Pletka for the latest episode of the iTunes podcast Smart Women Smart Power at the Center for Strategic and International Studies: https://fortunedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/iran_smart-women-smart-power.mp3Smart Women Smart Power: Iran To set the stage on Pletka's analysis, here is a succinct excerpt from Reuters this morning describing what's at stake: The talks in Vienna aim for a deal that could transform the Middle East, open the door to ending economic sanctions on Iran and start to bring a nation of 76 million people in from the cold after decades of hostility with the West. The cost of failure could be high. Iran's regional foes Israel and Saudi Arabia are watching the Vienna talks nervously. Both fear a weak deal that fails to curtail Tehran's nuclear ambitions, while a collapse of the negotiations would encourage Iran to become a threshold nuclear weapon state, something Israel has said it would never allow. In print and on TV, Pletka been a salty-tongued critic of the Obama White House. (In a blog post she recently accused the President of trying to "suck up" to Iran by failing to remove its client, Syrian President Bashar al Assad. More on that below.) That said, her views reflect widespread skepticism about the Iranian regime's intentions in the talks between Iran and six world powers that were put on hold in Vienna today. Pletka argues that Iran's hand was strengthened by a dramatic turn of events this year: Specifcally, the rise of the terrorist group ISIS, which found fertile ground in the chaos of Syria's civil war and now controls a third of Iraq, including the country's second largest city, and threatens Bagdad. The rise of ISIS puts the U.S. and Iran on the same side of a military campaign against a terrorist group that threatens not only the Middle East, but also U.S. and Western targets. Even as the American military conducts air strikes against ISIS, Iranian forces are on the ground in Iraq and Syria battling the terror group (and not very successfully, Pletka notes). "Sure we have common enemies. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend is not a good guide post for foreign policy," says Pletka as she ticks off the names of Iranian-backed terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. "Instability is very appealing to the Iranians. They have no desire to see a stable, strong, independent Iraq on their border." The same, she adds, goes for Syria—and that's where we get back to Pletka's charge that the White House is "sucking up" to Iran, hoping for more cooperation in the nuclear talks. Despite the President Obama's proclamation that "Assad must go," the Syrian strongman and Iranian ally remains in power—a source of frustration even to many Democrats. Former Obama official Anne Marie Slaughter told me she supports U.S. air strikes to destroy Assad's air bases: Pletka goes a step farther, arguing that if the U.S. had been willing to destroy those air bases earlier—and with them, Assad's ability to drop bombs and chemical weapons on his enemies—"we would have never had to deal with the rise of ISIS." Instead, Pletka charges, the administration chose "to downplay hostility toward Assad in order to make nice with the Iranians for this strange bank-shot on the Iranian nuclear negotiations. [That is], if we let them keep their pal in Syria, then maybe they'll think we're good guys who understand their strategic priorities and they'll give up their nuclear weapons program." The failure to force out Assad has also contributed to Turkish resistance to helping in the war against ISIS, she adds. "All because the president thinks he's playing this particularly clever card with the Iranians," says Pletka. "It's a huge mistake." Two weeks before the Monday deadline, news reports revealed that President Obama had written a secret letter to Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei describing the U.S.-Iran shared interest in fighting ISIS, apparently hoping to encourage a Tehran to agree to a deal in the nuclear negotiations. Pletka called this letter—the President's fourth to the Ayatollah—a "dangerous choice…like a spurned girlfriend's notes to her unresponsive boyfriend…I think it also has that vibe to the Iranians." By the way, MPW watchers: The lead U.S. negotiator on the Iran talks is a woman to watch—Wendy Sherman, undersecretary of state for political affairs and now acting deputy Secretary of State. An appointee of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Sherman will be in a glaring spotlight if and when a deal with Iran is reached. She served under President Clinton in the 1990s, where she was a lead negotiator with North Korea over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile program.

U.S. veterans sue banks, claim they should pay for Iraq attacks by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine November 10, 2014, 2:37 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons By Alison Frankel NEW YORK, Nov 10 (Reuters) – Wounded U.S. veterans and family members of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq sued five European banks on Monday, seeking to hold them responsible for shootings and roadside bombings because they allegedly processed Iranian money that paid for the attacks. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, New York, named Barclays Plc, Credit Suisse Group AG, HSBC Holdings Plc, Standard Chartered and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc. The banks did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The lawsuit was brought under the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act, a 1992 law that permits victims to bring private suits against alleged financiers of militant operations. Brought on behalf of more than 200 veterans and family members, the lawsuit alleges the banks conspired with Iranian banks to mask wire transactions in order to evade U.S. sanctions. The Iranian banks then funneled more than $100 million to militant groups that operated in Iraq at Iran's direction, according to the suit. The militant groups included a Shi'ite militia in Iraq, Kataib Hezbollah, as well as Quds Force, the overseas arm of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the suit says. Since 2009, the five banks have agreed to pay about $3.2 billion to the U.S. government to resolve allegations that they handled money in violation of sanctions against nations such as Iran, Libya and Cuba. All the banks signed deferred prosecution agreements with the U.S. Justice Department in addition to settlements with U.S. banking regulators. In a statement issued after its 2012 agreement with U.S. prosecutors and banking regulators, HSBC said it accepted responsibility for "past mistakes." Standard Chartered, which also reached an agreement in 2012, emphasized that it was cooperating with U.S. authorities. The agreements did not allege a link between the transactions, which the U.S. government viewed as unlawful, and militant operations. Some bankers have expressed resentment at the long reach of U.S. policies. In a 2006 email quoted in the complaint filed on Monday, a London-based Standard Chartered manager told a colleague, "Who are you to tell us, the rest of the world, that we're not going to deal with Iranians?" Patrick Farr, a California-based plaintiff whose son Clay was killed by a roadside bomb in February 2006, said the lawsuit has given him "a sense that I was able to do something, hold someone accountable for his death." UNIQUE USE OF 1992 LAW The suit is the first case under the Anti-Terrorism Act in which former U.S. soldiers seek damages against international banks. It is also one of the first to be crafted as a conspiracy case. The lawyers who filed the suit, Gary Osen and Tab Turner, were part of a team that tried an Anti-Terrorism Act case against Arab Bank earlier this year in Brooklyn. Jurors found Arab Bank liable for financing 24 Hamas attacks in Israel and the Palestinian Territories between 2001 and 2004. That case linked Arab Bank specifically to wire transfers to alleged Hamas leaders and payments to Palestinians killed, injured and imprisoned in the anti-Israel uprising. The new lawsuit does not assert a direct connection between the European banks and the allegedly Iran-directed attacks carried out in Iraq. Instead, the complaint claims that the banks indirectly facilitated the attacks by entering into agreements with Iranian banks to mask U.S. dollar wire transactions sent through the United States. "Each defendant understood that their conduct was part of a larger scheme engineered by Iran," Osen said in an interview. At a minimum, he said, the banks were "deliberately indifferent" about the transactions they processed for Iran. The case's theory of a conspiracy under the Anti-Terrorism Act has not previously been tested in court. Osen said that through press accounts, declassified U.S. military reports and documents posted by WikiLeaks, he built a file on attacks on U.S. forces that were traceable to Iran. One of the boldest attacks took place in January 2007, when attackers dressed as American soldiers infiltrated a compound in Kerbala, Iraq, and killed five U.S. military personnel. Osen said he sent a letter to the father of one of the soldiers killed in Kerbala, Johnathan Millican. He eventually traveled to Alabama to meet Mitchell Millican, who agreed to serve as a plaintiff. A soldier wounded in Kerbala, Billy Wallace, also signed on. Charlotte Freeman, whose husband Brian was one of the soldiers killed in Kerbala, said she and her mother-in-law decided to join the case to make a statement. "I never suspected these big banks would turn a blind eye," she said. "Even if the case doesn't get that far, at least the story is told. It needs to be exposed."

Twitter chief Dick Costolo trolls Iran's President Rouhani by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine September 25, 2014, 2:40 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Sam Frizell, TIME Dick Costolo, the CEO of Twitter, has a bone to pick with Iran: you can't use Twitter TWTR there. And on Thursday, Costolo tweeted at Iranian President Hassan Rouhani—currently in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly—with a Twitter burn for the ages: .@HassanRouhani Mr. President, enjoying your Tweets from the UN. We would love the Iranian people to enjoy them as well. When will that be? — dick costolo (@dickc) September 25, 2014 With access to Twitter and Facebook FB officially banned in the Islamic Republic, Iranians have to find other ways to bypass the state's Internet filtering system. That's if they're not the country's president, who is a prolific tweeter and apparently has unfettered access to the social network. But Costolo's tweet isn't just a muted form of digital social activism; it's a pragmatic defense of his company's business interests in Iran. Rouhani doesn't appear to have responded yet to Costolo's tweet, which may be because it's just too hard to come back from a tweet like that.
Iranian President Rouhani criticizes U.S. airstrikes against ISIS by Laura Lorenzetti @FortuneMagazine September 25, 2014, 12:03 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Noah Rayman, TIME Iranian President Hassan Rouhani criticized U.S.-led airstrikes against militants in Iraq and Syria during a speech at the United Nations on Thursday, calling for regional countries to lead the operation instead. However, Rouhani said Iran can reach a deal over its nuclear program before the November deadline if Western negotiators are willing. He added that such a deal could open the door to "cooperation at regional and international levels, allowing for greater focus on some very important regional issues such as combating violence and extremism in the region." Rouhani has sought to warm chilled relations with the West since he took office more than a year ago, but he has recently questioned U.S. President Barack Obama's effort to foster international support for U.S.-led airstrikes against the Sunni militants known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria, or ISIS. "Since the pain is better known by the countries in the region, better they can form a coalition," Rouhani told the UN General Assembly. The Iranian president, widely seen by the West as a moderate, has also come under fire for the July detainment of Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, a dual citizen who was jailed with his wife. In part due to the recent tensions, it's unlikely that Obama and Rouhani will repeat the act of detent that occurred last year when the two leaders spoke over the phone while the Iranian president was in New York City. Still, Rouhani did meet with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday — marking the first time that Britain's and Iran's leaders met in 35 years — for what Rouhani said in a tweet was a "constructive and pragmatic dialogue."

Active weather once again increased throughout the country today. A major Pacific storm slammed onto the West Coast, providing rain and high elevation snow throughout California before it spread into the Great Basin. This was good news for the area as it helped the snowpack while also putting a dent in the drought. Winter storm warnings were posted for the Sierra Nevada mountain range in
California due to the anticipation of heavy snow throughout the
day. Strong winds were also noted, especially in the higher
elevations and along mountain ridges.
Another area of active weather developed in the Southeast as moist flow off the Gulf Coast provided widespread moderate to heavy rain in the area.
A high pressure system anchored to the north over the
Mid-Atlantic provided dry conditions from the Upper Mississippi
Valley through the Northeast.
The middle of the country was dry, while the northern portion was cold.
The Northeast rose into the 20s and 30s, while the Southeast saw temperatures in the 30s and 40s. The Southern Plains rose into the 50s and 60s, while the Northern Plains and Intermountain West saw temperatures in the 0s, 10s, and 20s. The Northwest rose into the 20s and 30s.

Cool Cities Las Cruces Kickoff Packs the Southern Group Office
On Earth Day, members, friends, and other organizations' representatives filled the Rio Grande Chapter/Southern Group office for the first organizational meeting of the Cool Cities Las Cruces campaign. City Councilor Olga Pedroza also participated.
After decades of very conservative leadership, Las Cruces is experiencing a cultural shift that has put a much more progressive city council and administration in place. With this hopeful social and political landscape, Las Cruces offers an exciting opportunity as a Cool Cities location.
Attendees described some potential Cool Cities teams to handle public education and media, a Cool Biz project, community gardens and recycling, Solar Tax district development, and several other types of projects to help move the City along the path it has chosen into the future.
Our next step is to form a steering committee and mobilize the team leaders to help them organize focused and effective teams. Las Crucens are ready to embrace a more sustainable future, and enthusiasm for our Cool Cities campaign is strong! —Dan Lorimier

The key Republican negotiator on financial reform doesn't expect a deal before this afternoon's test vote. But in my interview on GMA, Senator Shelby did seem to back new Democratic efforts to crack down on derivative trades by the big Wall Street banks.
"When they use other people's money and especially when they rely on the taxpayer to do this kind of risk taking, if something goes wrong they can take the whole system down. We don't need this. We've been there 18 months ago let's make sure we don't ever go back and visit the taxpayer again…If they want to trade with their own money, they're own resources is one thing, but to trade with the idea of highly leveraged positions hoping that the taxpayer will bail them out, or believing they'll bail them out, that's wrong. It's a mistake and we're gonna end that."

The Pork That Launched a Thousand Likes
Chiang Mai's latest star is 22-year-old Aorawee "Ping Pong" Singdaeng, a humble pork vendor who set up shop on a roadside in Santitham no more than a few months ago. She's certainly not the first vendor I have seen sporting a university uniform. So what makes her special? Why is she such a hit?
Itchy to Rock, Itchy to Roll
Firelight flickers over the faces in the crowd, an even mix of Thai and farang, swilling cheap cups of Sangsom and chatting amongst themselves. It's a cool evening and many of the bar-goers are dressed in leather jackets adorned with spikes and patches – skulls, fireballs, the names of local punk gangs – attached with safety pins. The clientele meshes well with the bar itself, 7 Pounds, a ragtag open-air affair near Wat Jed Yod, several small buildings framing a central courtyard scattered with vintage adverts, old analog TV sets and mismatched chairs.
Honour Thy Mother
By now, I think it's safe to assume that most of you know about kombucha, the fermented tea that hipsters and health fanatics are drinking by the gallon. But what could have been merely a passing fad seems to have staying power, thanks perhaps to its ancient legacy and uniquely addictive flavour.
Moody and Majestic Yangshuo
As I slowly unbent my frozen limbs, curled up tight all night long under the hotel's duvet, to slip into a pair of thick wool slippers, put on a comfy coat, and perch my glasses onto what I think was my nose (all feelings had left me), I was ready to be impressed. We had arrived late the night before at the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat, an hour's drive from Guilin, China, and being the dead of a foggy winter with no illuminations to be found in the sky, I had yet to step onto my balcony. With a flourish I pulled open the curtains, took a deep breath and braced myself. And, cold be damned, spent the good part of the next half hour gazing in awe at the incredible sight before me…
Breaking Good
Did you know that Chiang Mai is home to one of the biggest, and self-proclaimed baddest, B-boy crews in Thailand? Do you know what on earth a B-boy is? Well, if, like me, you are not so up to date with the latest trends, the term "B-boy" may be lost on you. Put simply, a B-boy (or B-girl) is someone who is devoted to the hip-hop culture, with a focus on the urban art of breaking or breakdancing. Originating in the Bronx of New York in the 1970s, the term B-boy has evolved over the last 40 years to include other lifestyle identities encompassing music, arts, magic and even, here in Chiang Mai at least, hairdressing.
Is That A Lonely Man? An Interview with Expat Author Lawrence Osborne
A British-born novelist and journalist who has spent most of his life on the move, Lawrence Osborne now calls Thailand his home. His celebrated memoir, 2009's Bangkok Days, paints a fascinating portrait of Bangkok and the motley cast of expatriates who live there. To date, Osborne has published 11 books and is a regular contributor to the New York Times. His next novel, Hunters in the Dark, a tale set in the underbelly of Cambodian, will be published in May of this year. Here, the critically acclaimed author discusses expat life, Thai culture, Buddhism, Bangkok, books and more.
Chiang Mai Measures 20 Micrograms of Dust Over Safe Level

Secret Islands
What's more romantic than running away with your lover to a deserted (okay, we'll settle for lightly populated) island? Not much. And while Thailand's islands are not exactly a secret, there are plenty of lesser known gems far from the full moon parties and sunburnt masses. So if you have a bit more time to spare and a bit more cash to travel, here are three tropical getaways to check out.
Editorial: February 2015
If you have been following the news of late, you will know that British journalist Andrew Drummond, a veteran of investigative crime journalism who has mostly written for the British and Australian press from Thailand for over 25 years, is finally packing it in (and up) to return to Blighty. His life has been threatened many times over the decades, but this time, it is the safety of his three children that is forcing him to leave Thailand behind. Threats to them from criminals under the protection of certain authorities have made his stay here untenable.

Chiang Mai has been known for its artisans and handicrafts since the Lanna period, the city rife with bustling markets that even today remain a vital part of daily life.

Being Black in Thailand

You Are Your Ridges and Grooves
I am a skeptic. I just can't bring myself to take giant leaps. That is why I felt a tad uncomfortable when new client, myDNA, invited me for a free dermatoglyphics (yes it's a word) analysis. It all sounded a tad voodoo hoodoo to my scoffing mind. As I arrived in a professional looking office at Arcade's Star Avenue, with its floor-to-ceiling glass panes and shiny new furniture, I was surprised to see a few families with young children, some babies even, sitting in the waiting area.

Growing Up Expat
Test3 Growing up abroad is often seen as a lucky experience reserved for the wealthy: going to expensive international schools, living in big houses and driving fancy cars. And it seems like there are few places better than Chiang Mai to grow up in, combining the tempting mix of rich Thai culture with the development of an increasingly cosmopolitan city. But what are the children of expats really … Continued

Where can I find real frozen yoghurt in Chiang Mai? Hilary: Despite its years of ubiquity in the West, frozen yoghurt is a pretty new trend here, and has been tough to find up until quite recently.

Traffick Stoppers
Thailand, we have a problem. The most recent UN Trafficking in Persons Report is quite long and very dry, but its message is clear: human trafficking is a huge issue in Thailand, and not enough is being done to stop it. For anyone even slightly familiar with the culture of human trafficking in Southeast Asia, this statement rings true. Traffickers run rampant and though the government has institut … Continued
Music Box
Denney & the Jets – Mexican Coke If this group's debut album takes off, they're likely to get praise similar to that of the honky-tonk, country-rock-leaning early work of Kings of Leon.

While the overall motif is that of boogie rock from the American South, they're a sonic dead r … Continued
From The Editor
Welcome to our New Online Home!
March 5, 2015
Phew! It has been a monumental job, but we are so happy to be here, and welcome to our new home online.
Citylife magazine started as the parochial sounding Chiang Mai Newsletter in 1992, a thin black and white publication aimed at the small expatriate population of Chiang Mai at the time. In those days, you see, there were no resources in English for northern residents pertaining to the north, the only news and information came from Bangkok, and was rarely relevant to us up here – it was the pre-dawn of the internet era!
In 1998 we went online when we launched the first incarnation of this web site. Our aim was to not only provide our magazine's content to our online readers, but much more information relevant to those living in and visiting Chiang Mai. We immediately sat at the top of the search engines, where we have remained ever since, being the most visited English language web site in the north of Thailand…

China Watch: No Speed Bumps in Infrastructure Race
TAIPEI -- Almost anywhere you go in China, drills buzz, hammers thump walls and scaffolding towers into the sky while hundreds of migrants from the countryside cluster around the dusty gates of work sites slurping down noodle bowls to be on time for the next shift.
Much of that gritty, noisy construction gets plowed into private projects. But a whole lot is also building airports. Low-cost housing has sprouted as a state priority since 2010 to ease impacts from a surge in commercial property prices. Highways and railways are growing in length, width and number, as any tourist can see.
Overseas equity investors, get on board.
Wait, haven't Chinese officials said they want to ramp down their economy's attention-grabbing economic growth to rely less on investment, and isn't public works construction a major source? The state-driven shift from China's reliance on exports and investment to an economy led by consumers will supposedly slow GDP growth to 7.5% this year from 9.2% last year.
But high on a list of reasons to be skeptical of the slowdown rests the steely fact is that China does not want to stop building. Government agencies can use new infrastructure to build empires and prove their might before an easily awed public. State-invested, herculean-scale builders such as China State Construction Engineering (601668.SS) and railway contractor China Railway Construction (1186.HKG) make money at the same time. Throughout history, the Chinese have seldom hesitated to tear down and rebuild stuff, often on the personal whims of new leaders. Nothing has changed. But more importantly, China can't stop building without dropping some of its socio-economic goals that are more sacred than fine-tuning economic growth formulas. It wants the historically poor western regions to advance, explaining the push to open airports and railways lines in places as far off as Tibet. Beijing hopes the low-cost housing starts to ease a gnawing wealth gap. Railway and telecom projects help ship goods from coal to Web conference signals around the country, all ideal for long-term economic development. Expressways are already on the road to reaching 100,000 kilometers by 2020, up from 60,000 in 2008.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Terrorists used two pressure cookers as explosives during the 2013 Boston Marathon, but police confirmed that the device, found near an elementary school, was empty
Bomb Squad Destroys Pressure Cooker On East Boston Street cbsloc.al/1ghxfaG http://t.co/zc2AAP6Dbw
WBZ Boston News (@cbsboston) March 11, 2014
A bomb squad destroyed an unattended pressure cooker in East Boston on Tuesday. Police were called to the location near an elementary school when the pressure cooker was discovered without an owner on the sidewalk.
After blowing up the pressure cooker, police confirmed that the device was empty. Though the cooker was not placed on school property, students were still put in "safe mode" as a precaution, according to authorities.
Terrorists used two pressure cookers as explosives during the 2013 Boston Marathon. "People are sensitive to this. We've had a lot of people go through a serious crisis this year with pressure cookers. It's no joke. We don't take it as a joke. We'll never take it as a joke," Boston Police Capt. Kelley McCormick told CBS local affiliate WBZ-TV.

BLOGGER COLLABORATIONS: As a brand, Coach was one of the first to partner with bloggers to design, style and blog about new product and to have them appear in its ad campaigns. To date, the brand has launched nine blogger-centric programs—the first of which occurred in November and December 2009, when 30 bloggers participated in holiday-themed posts. The Guest Blogger feature in particular, an ongoing monthly installment launched in October 2010, has been one of the most successful, according to David Duplantis, Coach Inc.'s senior vice president of global Web and digital media. Participants have included Meaghan Mahoney Dusil of Purse Blog, Lindsey Calla of Saucy Glossie, Keiko Groves of Keiko Lynn and Christine Cameron of My Style Pill. Recently, the brand enlisted seven bloggers to celebrate the return of the Coach Duffle. Each blogger styled an iconic bag from the brand, infusing their own sense of style, and posted it. Hanneli Mustaparta paired her cognac 1973 Coach Duffle with white Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony shorts, a white sleeveless Zara top and Karen Walker shades. The Man Repeller's Leandra Medine took her cherry red bag and wore it with a lace Charles Henry blouse, an Isabel Marant miniskirt and a houndstooth Balenciaga vest.
TWITTER AND FACBEOOK: DKNY PR Girl—whose handle on the medium describes her as "your well-placed fashion source bringing you behind-the-scenes scoop from inside Donna Karan New York & DKNY and my life as a PR girl living in NY"—has managed to garner more than 365,000 followers since she started tweeting for the brand in May 2009. "Our followers are the best judges of how DKNY PR Girl has affected the brand. They are the ones who consistently share the joy that they experience from the brands, whether tweeting an image of a new purchase or joining me in obsessing over our cape dress. They communicate, support and inspire the conversation," says DKNY PR Girl—who on Oct. 22 outed herself as Aliza Licht via an embedded YouTube video on her Tumblr. "People constantly talk about the return on investment on social media and how to define it. For me, it's brand evangelism." Her chatty, youthful voice regularly Tweets as she tunes into Gossip Girl every Monday night, and she's also been known to gripe about certain celebrities and their demands (keeping them anonymous, of course).
Over at Oscar de la Renta, vice president of global communications Erika Bearman has helped propel the fashion house's Twitter following into one of the best known in the industry. As the person behind the brand's Twitter personality, Bearman actively started tweeting under the handle @OscarPRGirl in 2009. Followers on the medium have jumped to over 87,000—increasing nearly 600 percent since September 2010, when the brand had just 12,800 followers.
This month, it was also the first luxury brand to launch a Facebook commerce, or F-commerce, initiative contained entirely on the social network. The brand commissioned social commerce solution 8thBridge to create the Facebook shopping experience for the debut of its $65 Esprit d'Oscar solid perfume ring. While not the first high-end fashion company to introduce an F-commerce component, it is the first to offer a complete commerce experience without leaving Facebook. (Bulgari launched F-commerce in May with jewelry that retailed for $12,000 and up, and Chanel did a limited-time, pre-release F-commerce offer for its Rouge Coco Shine for fans in April. Although shopping and putting the product "in cart" occurred on Facebook, checkout was done through each brand's e-commerce site.)
With respect to pure numbers, it's Yves Saint Laurent that tops the list for brands with the most followers with more than 603,000 fans. For the former, a combination of a tremendous worldwide following is probably the main driver and reason for such a large fan base on the platform, as the brand doesn't have a definitive social media "personality" like DKNY or Oscar de la Renta. @YSL also doesn't tweet at the same frequency as some of its contemporaries, as nearly three weeks lapsed between Twitter updates last month between Oct. 11 and Oct. 31.
There are only three fashion brands on Facebook that have passed the five million "likes" milestone: Burberry, Gucci and Dior, with 9 million, 5.5 million and 5.4 million fans, respectively. According to L2, each brand's fan base has grown respectively on the medium by about 450, 290 and 1,400 percent from September 2010 to September 2011. For Dior, though, it's not just a numbers game, as the brand believes engagement is imperative to achieve success in the digital world, Facebook in particular. "Beyond the great number of fans, what matters the most is that they are extremely involved. We hope that this is a sign that we have succeeded in sharing our passion for the House of Dior," says a house spokesman. "Information has become something that evolves very quickly. It gets picked up on the brand's official Web site, then it travels to Facebook, it spreads, it appears on all the blogs, it goes to Twitter, Tumblr, Weibo in China or Kaixin. This is why Facebook has naturally become a major communication medium for Dior."
