Lord Mayor of Birmingham - Councillor Shafique Shah
Councillor Shafique Shah is first and foremost a Brummie, having lived in Birmingham and Bordesley Green since childhood.
Education has always been an important aspect for him and its ability to provide great opportunities to progress in life. He was educated at Sir Wilfred Martineau School and progressed on to graduate in mechanical and manufacturing engineering being qualified to Incorporated Engineer status.
Following his graduation he joined a well known telecommunications company to take up a senior managerial position. Working for this company The Lord Mayor acquired very useful entrepreneurial skills which motivated him to progress into business for himself. Having travelled extensively around the world on business visiting countries such as China, Malaysia, Canada, America and Dubai, he has experienced a great diversity of social cultures which are all reflected here in Birmingham.
He has been married to Sadia for 20 years and has five wonderful children, Salhia, Hasan, Saman, Sanya and Muhmmad.
The Lord Mayor although a keen traveller of the world has as yet not found any city as welcoming and warm as his home of Birmingham. He always feels a great pride in being able, when asked, to say he is a Brummie - from Birmingham, a city with great diversity of culture and heritage.
The Lord Mayor has always had a desire to serve the community and put something back in recognition of what the country and city have given him and his family. He has been a school governor in the east of the city for many years and is the chair of Governors at a local girls' school.
In 2005 he made the decision to stand as a candidate for Birmingham City Council and felt privileged to be elected by the residents of Bordesley Green Ward as their Councillor.
Apart from his family and travel, The Lord Mayor's interests include following Birmingham City Football club, horse riding, running, working within the community and with his local neighbourhood forum and of course politics.
One of the main things The Lord Mayor is looking forward to is the opportunity to meet as many regular, hard working citizens of the city that time will allow.
He intends to accept as many invitations as he can to visit city schools and meet the young people that will be the future leaders of our city.
Shafique is very proud of Birmingham and will work hard as an ambassador for our great city to show the world all the positive aspects Birmingham and its citizens have to offer. His hope is to make the people of Birmingham proud of their Lord Mayor.
Sadia Shafique Lady Mayoress
The Lady Mayoress has always been a strong support to The Lord Mayor in both his business life and his political career. As a full time mother she has an immediate empathy for the needs of young people which she hopes will assist the Lord Mayor in his mission to empower the young people of Birmingham.
She has always been available to help local residents with their problems and issues. She has a large circle of friends and enjoys family life and keep fit when time allows.
She is very proud of Birmingham and involves herself in local schools and education.
Sadia is looking forward to visiting and supporting city charities during the year and promoting Birmingham.
She feels very privileged to have the opportunity to be able to have the opportunity during the year to meet residents from all parts of the city.
Term of Office
Each Lord Mayor completes a one year term of office and then another year as Deputy Lord Mayor of Birmingham. The new Lord Mayor is installed at the Annual General Meeting of the Council (also known as Mayormaking).

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Sony seems to have a liking for doing things differently to other makers: hybrid cameras with bigger sensors, compact cameras with serious, professional attitude and single lens reflex cameras with fixed, translucent mirrors. Its new SLT Alpha 58 camera shows just how good a strategy this is, close to the quality of their Alpha 77 at half the price! |
The Sony SLT-Alpha 37 entry-level APS-C replaces the Sony SLT-A35 in Sony's product line, but its design is very comparable to the Sony A33. Just like its predecessor and its bigger brother the Sony SLT A57, the A37 is based on Sony's semi transparent mirror system. |

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

6 Degrees of Dawson's Creek: All Roads Lead to Capeside (PHOTOS)
6 Degrees of Dawson's Creek: All Roads Lead to Capeside
Some shows last only a few seasons before disappearing into TV obscurity. Others go on for way too long, leaving us to wonder if anyone actually watches them anymore. And then there's a third kind of show — a show that, no matter its duration or syndication status, will always hold a special place in our hearts. For us, that show will forever be known as Dawson's Creek.
Chronicling the passage from adolescence to young adulthood (and all the awkwardness and angst that goes along with it), DC solidified itself as the perennial teen drama of a generation. Who could forget Dawson's ugly cry, the way Grams always called Jen "Jennifer" in her slightly affected accent, or Pacey's roguish charm and velvet button-down shirts? We honestly can't believe Pacey-Con isn't a real thing, because we'd be there in our Capeside High sweatshirts in a heartbeat!
In honor of our all-time favorite teen soap, we thought we'd play a little game — connecting all of our Wetpaint Entertainment shows to the one that cemented our love affair with television all those years ago. So without further ado, we present to you... 6 Degrees of Dawson's Creek: All Roads Lead to Capeside.

Mediasonic HUR1-SU3S2 Dual Bay RAID+ 0/1/SINGLE 3.5 in SATA HDD Enclosure USB 3.0 & eSATA
With 9 User Reviews
NewtDogg@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 08/15/13 |
Cons: kinda noisy with the fan onLacks good documentation
Pros: USB 3, eSatasmalllooks pretty good. Comment:
I like this enclosure, it seems pretty reliable so far, I used to use an onboard raid controller and will never go back. It is a bit noisy with the fan on, definitely noisier than my pc. And I understand the forums are good, but the instruction in the box come in a cd with mauals for other raid enclosures and they aren't that good. It's fortunate that it doesn't take a lots of though to get this going, but a little more hard info would be nice. |
TACHYON SOLUTIONS@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 08/01/12 |
Cons: none
Pros: Lightweight,excellent heat dissipation, aluminum construction makes it strong, 4 different 'modes' one can set it at, USB 3.o and backwards compatible, e-Sata, has a smart fan Comment:
I love everything about this enclosure. I put two 3TB HD's in it and it works beautifully. It saves a lot of space too. Nice simple design. Like it and would recommend it. |
zjochied@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 07/10/12 |
Cons: compact, poor cooling system.dual drives gets hot and once it does that, drive slows down.
Pros: cheap? could find places else where sells at $65raid 0, decent quality build. compact doesnt take much space Comment:
as stated above, drives get too hot, the fan is TINY compared to its 4 bay raidbox. USB 3.0 is slower than esata, sucks. enclosure again bottlenecks with its raid card, maxing at around 220 MB/S when raid 0 barracuda 3.0tb should be capable of at least 250 MB/s to 300 MB/s in read and write.oh well cheap enclosure is what you get, i might try my hand on the 4 bay raidbox version as it seems to go to 250 instead of just stuck at around 210-220.rightttt, also note 220 is peak and max, average speed is around 180-190 in read/write. another note, enable write cache in device manager might improve write speed a bit, or quite a bit. |
Confuzyon@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 07/08/12 |
Cons: Setup and ease of use
Pros: Works well once it's running Comment:
Although it's not difficult there are some hoops to jump through to get this device going. No ui or anything like that instead it uses jumper configurations. Mind you generally speaking it's one of those set and forget things so I suppose that's not a big deal. As a note to anybody using this hold the button inside as you turn it on to initialize. Mine didn't even turn on or light up in any way before I figured that one out. I was getting ready to RMA it. |
Nevermoar@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 07/07/12 |
Cons: Hard drives get a little warm, but not a huge deal.
Pros: Works great.Easy to set up. Comment:
I bought this for one specific reason: To put my games on. Steam games, Origin games, and all retail games I may install. I had originally been running my games drives (2xSamsung 1TB F3's) in RAID1 using my Maximus IV Extreme's built in intel raid controller; and it worked. I just wanted them external for convenience sake, as well as well as the fact that software raid is generally slower.Well..jeez...I had no idea how slow. I was getting maybe 50mb/s on intels INTERNAL software RAID1 with these drives. With these very same drives inside this enclosure, I'm getting upwards to between 130mb and 150mb/s. Absolutely unreal. Extremely happy. |
David_P@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 05/30/12 |
Cons: Weird setup procedure, wrong instructions (but can easily be corrected)
Pros: Good transfer speeds, sturdy construction Comment:
The enclosure comes with almost everything you need. If your eSATA port does not support port multiplier, USB 3.0 still provides great transfer speeds. I averaged about 100+mb/s during on a 7200rpm drive and about 60-80mb/s on a W.D Green drive (ALL on USB 3.0). Currently using Hitachi 2TB 5K3000 hard drives on RAID 1 mirror mode, works perfectly. Too bad it's not easy to swap the hard drives though. Needs to remove 12 screws. I would prefer not to use screws and have direct access to the drives. |
MG@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 06/09/11 |
Cons: Couvercles latéraux en aluminium et contour de plastique très minces.Interface USB3.0 pas plus rapide que l'E-SATA. Cables E-SATA et USB 3.0 trop court (1 mètre).
Pros: Payé 81$ en pricematch.Installation simple et rapide.Mise en marche/arrêt automatique.Configuration très simple avec DIP Switch.Très compact.Ventilateur relativement silencieux configurable à 100% full speed ou en vitesse auto.USB 3.0 et E-SATA.Plusieurs indicateurs lumineux.Vitesse de transfert moyen d'environ 100MB/s autant en USB 3.0 qu'en E-SATA.Tous les câbles requis inclus. Comment:
Un bon boitier RAID à prix acceptable lorsque pricematché. La construction du boitier est passablement mince mais une fois assemblé c'est acceptable. Le système de ventilateur semble un peu faible mais pas assez pour causer de problème. La configuration du mode RAID se fait avec des DIP Switch et c'est très simple à faire avec les instructions mise à jour que j'ai reçu avec l'unité. Le taux de transfert avec le port USB 3.0 n'atteind pas le débit théorique de 5 Gb/s mais il est plutot d'à peine 1 Gb/s avec le transfert d'un fichier de 1GB. Par contre ce débit est habituellement suffisant et est quand même beaucoup plus vite que le USB 2.0. Un bon achat à comparé à la concurence qui est trop cher. |

- Included cables are too short.- Errors in the manual.- Does get a bit toasty.
Pros: - RAID 0/1- USB 3.0- eSATA- Auto fan control.- Auto power off.- Price Comment:
I put two 1 TB 7200 RPM drives into this unit and set them up as RAID 0, which my PC sees as a single encrypted drive (thanks to TrueCrypt). Works perfectly without a hitch, provided you're aware of the error in the user manual beforehand (thanks Serge_J!). Build quality is excellent and I'm very happy with it overall.My only real complaint is that it can get a bit on the warm side despite the aluminum construction and built in fan. It has never overheated though and I do use it often. I also found the included cables to be too short despite the fact that I placed this unit directly above my PC, on my desk. Anyone buying this may want to add longer ones to their order (I went with Startech's brand). I would give it five stars if not for these issues. |
Serge_J@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/28/10 |
Incorrect instructions in manual
Pros: Awesome features for the price. USB 3.0, ESATA, RAID 0/1, auto fan control, auto usb shut off (when usb source is powered off) Comment:
This thing was a huge pain in the butt to set up RAID 0 or 1 on (please keep reading). I followed instructions in manual precisely (and have owned previous models so am familiar) however, I could not get RAID 1 to work. I went to mediasonic website and posted in forum, the next day the admin replied and the day after he replied stating that the instructions are incorrect. Here's what he had to say."I notice the written instruction on the manual is wrong.So set the dip switch to which raid you want. hold confirmation button and then press power button (while holding to the confirmation button), when the raid you selected lights up, then you can release the confirmation button"I hope this helps out people who have bought this before they have updated the manual (if they do). Mediasonic's customer service in their forum is very good. |

Here's an account of the
reaction in China
to the US missile sales to Taiwan.
Bear in mind that in the immediate aftermath of
international incidents, the publicly reported sentiments
within China,
tend to be a bit hysterical:
Chinas hawks demand cold war on the US
February 7, 2010
MORE than half of Chinese people questioned in a poll believe China and America are heading for a new cold war.
The finding came after battles over Taiwan, Tibet, trade, climate change, internet freedom and human rights which have poisoned relations in the three months since President Barack Obama made a fruitless visit to Beijing.
According to diplomatic sources, a rancorous postmortem examination is under way inside the US government, led by officials who think the president was badly advised and was made to appear weak.
In Chinas eyes, the American response which includes a pledge by Obama to get tougher on trade is a reaction against its rising power.
Now almost 55% of those questioned for Global Times, a state-run newspaper, agree that a cold war will break out between the US and China.
An independent survey of Chinese-language media for The Sunday Times has found army and navy officers predicting a military showdown and political leaders calling for China to sell more arms to Americas foes. The trigger for their fury was Obamas decision to sell $6.4 billion (£4 billion) worth of weapons to Taiwan, the thriving democratic island that has ruled itself since 1949.
We should retaliate with an eye for an eye and sell arms to Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba and Venezuela, declared Liu Menxiong, a member of the Chinese peoples political consultative conference.
He added: We have nothing to be afraid of. The North Koreans have stood up to America and has anything happened to them? No. Iran stands up to America and does disaster befall it? No.
Officially, China has reacted by threatening sanctions against American companies selling arms to Taiwan and cancelling military visits.
But Chinese analysts think the leadership, riding a wave of patriotism as the year of the tiger dawns, may go further.
This time China must punish the US, said Major-General Yang Yi, a naval officer. We must make them hurt. A major-general in the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA), Luo Yuan, told a television audience that more missiles would be deployed against Taiwan. And a PLA strategist, Colonel Meng Xianging, said China would qualitatively upgrade its military over the next 10 years to force a showdown when were strong enough for a hand-to-hand fight with the US.
Chinese indignation was compounded when the White House said Obama would meet the Dalai Lama, the exiled spiritual leader of Tibet, in the next few weeks.
When someone spits on you, you have to get back, said Huang Xiangyang, a commentator in the China Daily newspaper, usually seen as a showcase for moderate opinion.
An internal publication at the elite Qinghua University last week predicted the strains would get worse because core interests were at risk. It said battles over exports, technology transfer, copyright piracy and the value of Chinas currency, the yuan, would be fierce.
As a crescendo of strident nationalistic rhetoric swirls through the Chinese media and blogosphere, American officials seem baffled by what has gone wrong and how fast it has happened.
During Obamas visit, the US ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman, claimed relations were really at an all-time high in terms of the bilateral atmosphere ... a cruising altitude that is higher than any other time in recent memory, according to an official transcript.
The ambassador must have been the only person at his embassy to think so, said a diplomat close to the talks.
The truth was that the atmosphere was cold and intransigent when the president went to Beijing yet his China team went on pretending that everything was fine, the diplomat said.
In reality, Chinese officials argued over every item of protocol, rigged a town hall meeting with a pre-selected audience, censored the only interview Obama gave to a Chinese newspaper and forbade the Americans to use their own helicopters to fly him to the Great Wall.
President Hu Jintao refused to give an inch on Obamas plea to raise the value of the Chinese currency, while his vague promises of co-operation on climate change led the Americans to blunder into a fiasco at the Copenhagen summit three weeks later.
Diplomats say they have been told that there was frigid personal chemistry between Obama and the Chinese president, with none of the superficial friendship struck up by previous leaders of the two nations.
Yet after their meeting Obamas China adviser, Jeff Bader, said: Its been highly successful in setting out and accomplishing the objectives we set ourselves.
Then came Copenhagen, where Obama virtually had to force his way with his bodyguards into a conference room where the urbane Chinese premier, Wen Jiabao, was trying to strike a deal behind his back.
The Americans were also livid at what they saw as deliberate Chinese attempts to humiliate the president by sending lower-level officials to deal with him.
They thought Obama was weak and they were testing him, said a European diplomat based in China.
In Beijing, some diplomats even claim to detect a condescending attitude towards Obama, noting that Yang Jiechi, the foreign minister, prides himself on knowing the Bush dynasty and others among Americas traditional white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant elite.
But there are a few voices urging caution on Chinese public opinion. China will look unreal if it behaves aggressively and competes for global leadership, wrote Wang Yusheng, a retired diplomat, in the China Daily.
He warned that China was not as rich or as powerful as America or Japan and therefore such a move could be hazardous.
It is not clear whether anyone in Beijing is listening.
Despite the hard-line opinions in the above report, Hu Jintao is likely
to be pragmatic and calculating in handling confrontation with the US.
But he will go with the hard-line tide a little, because he does not want
to give his right-wing political opponents any reason to criticize him,
especially as he has the upper hand now over the "Shanghai Gang".
Here's a good overview of what's been
going on behind the scenes:
Signs from Shanghai
February 1, 2010 - Sydney Morning Herald
President Hu Jintao surprised Australian diplomats by turning up with four hours' notice to the Australian pavilion at the Shanghai Expo 10 days ago.
Close Chinese observers saw something significant:
"It's now safe for Hu Jintao to go to Shanghai."
Hu had not been publicly seen in Shanghai for at least two years
. In fact, I can't find reports of Hu passing through China's most glamorous city since June 2006. That's akin to Barack Obama governing America sans New York, or Kevin Rudd micro-managing Australia without touching down in Sydney.
In the closet warfare of Chinese elite politics,
Shanghai has been the political bastion of Hu Jintao's predecessor and nemesis, Jiang Zemin. Hu's arrival in Shanghai was seen to symbolise that he is getting the upper hand in his war of attrition against Jiang's "Shanghai Gang".
To over-simplify,
Hu's key proteges are associated with the China Youth League and a more liberal, egalitarian and intellectual outlook, while Jiang's proteges are more closely linked with the security, propaganda and military apparatus, as well as strategic state-owned companies, particularly oil.
More importantly, when China's elite are divided, they tend to make doubly sure the rest of the country is locked down.
If Hu's apparent confidence is well-placed, it explains some other signs that suggest the recent political freeze may not be forever.
First is the re-emergence of the super-educated and one-time student leader, Vice-Premier Li Keqiang.
Li was Hu Jintao's chosen heir until Jiang interrupted those succession plans in September 2007. Li seemed in political trouble as recently as July. But since the last key Communist Party Central Committee meeting in September he has been everywhere (as has another of Hu's once-wounded allies, Premier Wen Jiabao). Li is obviously in line for future premier, or maybe one step higher.
Li's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday was more conciliatory and made more sense than anything we've seen recently from a Chinese leader in the international arena. It was all about China's need to correct its own economic imbalances, rather than dancing on the grave of the US-led global financial order, and co-operation on a slew of global challenges. The significance of Li's speech lies not so much in what he said, but that the internal politics permitted him to say it.
Equally significant was the announcement of a new energy policy body, which strengthened Li's standing just before he took the stage at Davos. Until now, Chinese energy policy has been notoriously captured by vested interests, particularly those associated with state-owned behemoth Petrochina and the People's Liberation Army.
Although the new National Energy Commission lacks any teeth, two things are notable. First, its formation had been on hold - some would say the whole country has been on hold, including the next leadership transition - while Hu pushed some of Jiang's acolytes out of the Central Military Commission and replaced them with his own. (Some say the new line-up to control the People's Liberation Army has now been settled; others caution that nothing is settled until it is publicly announced.)
Second, the new energy commission is stacked with liberally oriented policymakers and Hu's men (the two categories are not the same but substantially overlap). At the head of the commission is Wen Jiabao, followed by Li Keqiang. It includes Li's underling You Quan, leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission who work easily with Hu (Zhang Ping and Zhang Guobao) as well as market-oriented policymakers like Zhou Xiaochuan (head of the central bank) and Liu Mingkang (the banking regulator).
Nowhere to be seen is Xie Zhenhua, who is in charge of climate change policy
at the development and reform commission. Xie is internationally respected for his grasp of climate change policy. But he also owes his previous political resurrection (after a massive Petrochina oil spill) to the Shanghai Gang. And it was his finger-pointing outburst at President Obama behind closed doors at Copenhagen that arguably did more than any other single recent event to turn Western opinion away from engaging China to fearing it.
Another notable absentee is Wang Qishan. Wang is an able internationalist who is widely known and respected in the West. But he has also been trampling over the economic policy turf that some thought was supposed to be reserved for Li Keqiang.
Gone from the formal energy policy scene is Jiang crony Zhang Dejiang, who was meant to be in charge of energy policy in the State Council. Zhang has been wounded by a recent corruption probe into Shenzhen Airlines, according to a source with connections with the Central Discipline & Inspection Commission. Indeed, it seems most of the top-level corruption scalps over the past year link back towards Jiang in one way or another.
Events since the Tibetan uprising in March 2008 have shown it was naive to assume China is on a slow but inexorable march towards a more liberal political system and more co-operative international outlook. But it would be equally wrong to assume China's recent political hardening - which spilled into the international arena with the arrest of Stern Hu, aggressive diplomacy at Copenhagen and cyber attacks on leading American companies such as Google - marks a new inexorable trend.
Hu Jintao is no Mikhail Gorbachev and China is hardly on the brink of a glasnost moment. But its future possibilities remain wide open. And they hinge, in part, on the battle for Shanghai.

A couple of little ditties regarding China :-
Biggest Bubble in History Is Growing Every Day
Real estate, stocks, credit. China sure has its share of bubbles. Oddly, little attention is paid to the biggest one of all.
Chinas currency reserves grew by more than the gross domestic product of Norway in 2009. Its $2.4 trillion of reserves is a bubble all its own, one growing before our eyes with nary a peep out of those searching for the next big one.
The reserve bubble is actually an Asia-wide phenomenon. And we should stop viewing this monetary arms race as a source of strength. Here are three reasons why its fast becoming a bigger liability than policy makers say publicly.
One, its a massive and growing pyramid scheme. The issue has reached new levels of absurdity with traders buzzing about crisis-plagued Greece seeking a Chinese bailout. After all, if economies were for sale, China could use the $453 billion of reserves it amassed last year to buy Greece and Vietnam and have enough left over for Mongolia.
Countries such as the U.S. used to woo the Bill Grosses of the world to buy their debt. Now they are wooing governments. Gross, who runs the worlds biggest mutual fund at Pacific Investment Management Co., is still plenty important to officials in Washington. Hes just not as vital as the continued patronage of state asset managers in places like Beijing.
Palmer, Bligh in $69b China coal deal
Queensland billionaire Clive Palmer has signed a deal to sell millions of tonnes of coal to China in what's believed to be Australia's largest export contract.
Mr Palmer says the $69 billion, 20-year offtake deal was signed last Friday with China Power International.
Another $8.6 billion agreement was signed with the Metallurgical Corporation of China to build the project in central Queensland.
Mr Palmer's Resourcehouse wants to develop a 40 million-tonne-a-year thermal coal mine in the Galilee Basin, near Alpha, west of Emerald.
"That's the biggest coal mine in the world in one go I think you'll find," Mr Palmer said.

I haven't heard much about a Chinese currency bubble and as for the coal, it's just a curious detail. Perhaps they're not that important.
Not as important as your non-thread though, which unfortunately I must address one last time.

Biggest Bubble in History Is Growing Every Day
Yeah China does have a mountain of foreign currency.
And has bubbles in various sectors of the economy.
But that currency stash is not a bubble - it's earned surplus
from China's trading. And the internal economic bubbles are
not as precarious as they look --because China has very firm
control of control banking and investment, merely by edict.
That Chinese coal deal with Australia is testimony to the
potential of Australia's future. The country is sitting on
absolutely vast natural resources. No wonder the NWO
have always worked hard to control it.

China Checks Out Of
The Hotel California
by Fintan Dunne, BreakForNews.com - 11th Feb 2010.
It's a standing joke that PIMCO are the fourth branch of
the US government, due to the bond-king's US deals.
PIMCO is actually a subsidiary of German financial giant Allianz.
Back in December, 2009 a senior
manager, Changhong Zhu was
hired by China as its Chief Investment Officer, to oversee the investment
of the portion of China's vast $3 trillion of foreign currency reserves
managed by their State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE).
Then a couple of days ago, the Asia Times reported that China's
Communist Party had ordered the new boss of SAFE (and China's top
commercial banks) to
buy no more
US corporate debt or asset-
backed securities. And to
buy no more
US state and municipal debt.
China Dumps US Asset-Backed's and Corporates
February 9th, 2010 - By David Goldman
Dollar-denominated risk assets, including asset-backed securities and corporates, are no longer wanted at the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), nor at Chinas large commercial banks.
The Chinese government has ordered its reserve managers to divest itself of riskier securities and hold only Treasuries and US agency debt with an implicit or explicit government guarantee. This already has been communicated to American securities dealers, according to market participants with direct knowledge of the events.
It is not clear whether Chinas motive is simple risk aversion in the wake of a sharp widening of corporate and mortgage spreads during the past two weeks, or whether there also is a political dimension.....
There is
some speculation that Chinas action has to do with the recent deterioration of US-Chinese relations over arm sales to Taiwan and other issues
. That would be an unusual action for the Chinese to takeBeijing does not mix investment and strategic policy.....
The UK Telegraph's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard picked up on
the Asia Times report and teased out some implications:
A Communist Party directive leaked to the Chinese-language edition of the Asia Times said dollar reserves should be limited to US Treasuries or agency mortgage debt such as Freddie Mac that enjoys Washington's implicit backing.
BNP Paribas said the move has major implications for global risk assets. "
The message from Beijing is that we don't like this environment
said Hans Redeker, the bank's currency chief.
When the world's biggest investor turns risk-averse, that is something you take notice of.
We think this could become the new theme for the markets in the medium-term," he said......
Neither the Telegraph nor the Asia Times expound in any detail on the
possibility that this is a new phase of the
undeclared political and
economic war between China and the US
. The one which erupted
when the Wall Street Scams totalled the global economy, and which saw
its first public view when Wen Jaibo forged an alliance at Copenhagen
with India, Brazil and South Africa -and deliberately snubbed Obama.
All this is a far cry from the halcyon days of 2008 when the very same
China State Administration of Foreign Exchange was
$2.5 Billion
into the Goldman Sachs-linked, Atlantic City, TPG Fund. The same outfit
which got John Corizine
in trouble
last September '09:
TPG-Axon was launched in February 2005 as a $2.8 billion joint venture between TPG and Dinakar Singh, a former top trader at Goldman Sachs who worked under Corzine. Before entering politics, Corzine was the chief executive of Goldman in the 1990s.
So, maybe the Chinese are cleaning house at SAFE, having appointed
Changhong Zhu as a safe pair of hands with no financial blood on them.
....... cutting to the chase:
The new Chinese policy means that
China won't be bailing out California
any of
It's not a killer blow.
But it pressures a US Gov. Balance Sheet which
is already laden down with bailout, stimulus and.... the Afghan War.
However, this is
not a Hot economic war
. China's umbilical cord
of significant exposure to the US economy and dollar prevents hot war.
Eerily like the Hotel California lyric, China can check out
any time they please --but they can never leave.
Nonetheless, the China move is also timely --considering that Premier
Wen is under a little presure from his own Party and the Army to draw
some NWO blood in retaliation for the Taiwan missile sale.
That makes this yet another win-win for China
. A win which will be
noted by other independent countries in informal alliance against the
London/NYC/DC New World Order.
Whomever loses this economic war will face domestic political turmoil.
(and the core NWO countries among them)
are in desperate need of fundamental reform.
Time to talk turkey with the voters, guys.
One way or the other.

An Internet comment
exploring Geopolitical angles:
I believe it is the first big conflict of this century. Obamas government zeroed-in on trade relation with China since its inauguration, and it took this long until it had its first opportunity to gather the forces in preparation for an all-out assault. The export doubling initiative is part of if, Obamas escalating rhetoric on the RMB exchange rate is part of it, and the rising tide of US trade sanctions against Chinese goods is part of it.
China is not Japan, and the RMB could not be pushed around like the Japanese yen in 1987. In the last China-EU economic summit late last year, Wen Jiabao stated clearly that the wests demand for the RMB to revalue is fundamentally unfair, and if the RMB is to revaluse, it has to be orderly, and gradually.
Since its unlikely the US could double its export without either another 30% devaluation of the dollar against major world currencies in theory, and the US would not and could not voluntarily weaken the dollar just for the sake of increasing export, so the next plausible thing for Obama to do may be to force the RMB to revalue.
......in order to break out of the economic log jam, its quite natural to shift the problem to outside of the US, in particular to China, preferrably. That is the essense of his export doubling initiative. Think who else could take that much more US export year after year?
So one way or another a major confrontation is set to take place between US and China.
But China is clearly doing its thing quietly: its trade surplus continued to shrink to $14.2 billion. Its January import rose 90% year-over-year. With its trade surplus vs the US hovering around $20 billion, it seems China has worked to maintain a trade deficit with the rest of the world.
I believe the show down would ultimately go down the same path as Copenhagen: that China would move quickly to the high ground, neutralize Obamas hand, and increase its advantage, but hope to eventually reach a so-called win-win compromise of sorts.

I am very keen on this as it may help me deal with the 99% of people that think im a 'fruit loop'!!

I don't have a lot to contribute here, but a bud of mine who works in finance had this to reply:
Frankly, I think there is very little risk of a massive US debt dump anytime soon. Until the Chinese per capita income rises to the point where they can consume some reasonable percentage of what they produce, the current exchange rate relationship is to their advantage. Might they trim their holdings? Absolutely, but the dollar will remain the major component of their foreign currency reserve until their consumers can consume more...when they no long need us as their main customer, then they will have to absolutely dump their dollar denominated debt, and look out below when they do.....

Senate probe finds 14 failures
in Christmas bomb attempt
By Chris StrohmCongressDailyMay 19, 2010
More than a dozen human, technological and policy failures allowed a 23-year-old Nigerian man to evade U.S. defenses and almost blow up a passenger plane as it approached Detroit on Christmas, according to an investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee.
The committee said 14 failures within the Obama administration allowed Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to nearly take down Northwest Flight 253 -- an attack that was only prevented because Abdulmutallab's underwear bomb failed to detonate.
"We cannot depend on dumb luck, incompetent terrorists and alert citizens to keep our families safe," Senate Intelligence Committee ranking member Kit Bond, R-Mo., said in releasing an unclassified 12-page report of the bipartisan investigation's findings. "It is critical we make changes to prevent these types of intelligence failures in the future."
The report publicly confirms several lapses that came to light after Abdulmutallab was arrested. But it discloses new failures and offers a handful of sweeping recommendations, including calling for the government to develop advanced information technology systems that can make connections between seemingly disparate pieces of intelligence.
Civil liberties advocates fear that recommendation might resurrect the Total Information Awareness program, funding for which was killed by Congress in 2003 over fears that it would invade privacy rights.
Significantly, the report found that the National Counterterrorism Center "was not adequately organized and did not have the resources appropriately allocated to fulfill its missions" before the attempted attack. The center was created in 2005 to overcome government failures exposed by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The investigation also found the NCTC did not conduct additional research to identify other intelligence that may have led Abdulmutallab to be put on the watch lists.
The report also fingered the National Security Agency. "The NSA did not take all available actions which contributed to the failure of the Intelligence Community to identify Abdulmutallab as a potential threat," the report said.
The NSA also did not nominate Abdulmutallab for watch-listing based on information partly identifying him, the report added.
The CIA drew criticism for not disseminating key reports on Abdulmutallab. "Had the CIA intelligence report been disseminated, other intelligence officers outside of the CIA and NCTC who tracked intelligence on Yemen and [al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula] may have made the connection between the information provided," the report said.
The investigation found the CIA had reports related to Abdulmutallab, but a regional division failed to search other databases that would have identified relevant information about him.
The report also said an analyst's computer profile prevented her from accessing relevant intelligence reports, despite their existence in FBI systems.
Notably, the report concluded that counterterrorism analysts were focused on the threat of al-Qaida attacks in Yemen, rather than those directed toward the United States. A similar problem contributed to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to the national commission that investigated those attacks.
But the committee acknowledged its inquiry had the benefit of "20-20 hindsight," while intelligence about Abdulmutallab at the time of the incident was co-mingled with thousands of intelligence reports.
The offices of Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair and CIA Director Leon Panetta issued statements late Tuesday that they have undertaken corrective actions to address problems identified by the report.
The report recommended that the administration work with Congress to "simplify, strengthen, and add flexibility to watch-listing practices."
Intelligence officers responsible for updating terrorist watch lists should have the flexibility to give weight to other information, while the NCTC should change its practices to allow nominations to the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment list based on partially identifying or other incomplete information, the report said.
The report added that the NSA "should immediately clear the backlog of reports that require review for watch-listing."
Sens. Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., wrote a four-page minority view saying problems cited by the 9/11 Commission remain today. They asserted, for example, that the NCTC told senators that no single agency is in charge of connecting threat streams, even though the NCTC was established to do that.
Counterterrorism officials still lack technology to search voluminous intelligence databases efficiently, they added.
"While we commend the Intelligence Community's hard-working personnel for their dedicated and tireless services, we are concerned that the policies, procedures and technology that they must work within today are hampering their ability to detect in advance the next attack against the Homeland," Burr and Chambliss wrote.

Tommy: Walter Scott shooting just boggles the mind
by Tommy Tucker
posted Apr 8 2015 12:03PM
By now, most everyone has seen the video of a South Carolina police officer shooting a man in the back and killing him as he was fleeing. Now, I respect the heck out of police officers; and it's a very tough job. However, I can't see how shooting this man eight times was justified.
To find out what could have been going through the officer's head and how cops are trained, we spoke with a friend of ours, Chuck Drago, a former police chief and a police practices expert. Drago agrees that the shooting does not appear to be justified.
"I see the man running away from the police officer. He doesn't appear to be armed, he doesn't appear to be threatening the officer in anyway. Then the officer fires his weapon at him, and I don't really see where there was any threat to anyone."
So what could the officer have done instead of using his firearm?
Drago says there were many options available. "He can call in for help to help set a perimeter, he can call a K-9. There's a lot of things he can do, and those things are up to the officer… one thing he cannot do is use deadly force against an individual who does not pose a threat of deadly force or serious bodily injury to the officers or others."
So why did he choose to shoot?
"There's no way to explain what the officer did. This is such basic police training in terms of when you can shoot someone fleeing from you and when you can't. To just stand there and fire at this individual, you just can't explain it."
Drago went even further, saying "The Mayor of the city said he made a poor decision - to me, that's an insult to all good police officers in this country. That's not a poor decision. A poor decision is when you take a second piece of pie and later on you're sorry you ate too much pie… this is beyond a poor decision… it's mind-boggling."
Those are strong words from an expert on this topic. After seeing the video, what do you think?

Tommy: Can you be fired for your tattoos?
by Tommy Tucker
posted Mar 25 2015 1:47PM
More and more people are getting tattoos nowadays, so they're becoming more and more acceptable in the workplace. As long as they're appropriate, anyway. A New York man claims he was fired over his tattoo of his ex-girlfriend's name… whose name is Isis. Yep.
Well, besides unfortunate ones like that, what about the average person with a tattoo? We turned to an expert who has studied tattoos in the workplace. Brian Elzweig is an Associate Professor of Business Law at Texas A&M Corpus Christi.
So can you be fired for a tattoo?
"The general rule is that it's employment at will, and you can be fired for any reason or no reason. So if an employer doesn't like your tattoo, they can not hire you or fire you because of that."
Does freedom of speech play any role?
"Freedom of speech would go primarily to a government entity acting on somebody. So there are probably more protections if you're working for the government, but if you're working for a private employer…there really are very little protections."
With more people having tattoos, could businesses be missing out on qualified workers?
"There's probably a lot of people who are not hiring people based on their having tattoos, and they're losing a segment of people they could hire because they think there are social mores that tattoos aren't acceptable."
Bottom line?
"Know your client base…because a lot of the time your customers may not care."
Do you care? To listen to my full interview with Brian, click the link below.

Tommy: Why are some people drawn to ISIS?
by Tommy Tucker
posted Mar 13 2015 10:06AM
It seems like we're constantly seeing new stories of people from Western countries like the US, Canada, and the UK trying to make their way to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS. The FBI sent out a warning on how effective some of Islamic State's propaganda is. WHY? Why are some people so drawn to this?
To try and understand what's going on, we brought in an expert, Arie Kruglanski, a Distinguished University Professor in Psychology and an expert on the psychological aspects of terrorism. What's going on here? What's their message?
"What ISIS offers is what a normal, humdrum, an everyday existence cannot offer. A sense of great significance, doing something that will put you in history, that will make you a hero."
And they actually believe torturing and killing makes them a hero. Do the people trying to join up actually know what's going on over there?
"They suppress the negative aspects and just portray the positives," the Professor said. Yep. The young people trying to join ISIS don't realize they're not going to be living like kings and what they'll actually have to do.
Should we worry about these deluded miscreants trying to form together here rather than only going over there?
"It's a good chance, especially if they already have the experience with explosives and weapons…the kinds of attacks that we see in Paris, in Boston, in Brussels, and other places. These are people that have had some experience, they were instructed through the Internet how to proceed and in many cases they have connections to criminal networks. So the lone wolf problem of people who are local yet inspired and capable of carrying out atrocious attacks is very real. This is a new frontier we have to confront."
Despite most of us realizing the absurdity of their propaganda, a few are buying into it; and that's worrisome. Sure, they're trying to head over there now; but Dr. Kruglanski notes that could quickly become a problem over here.
It's scary. To hear the rest of the interview, click the link below.

Tommy: I got scammed for just being kind to someone
by Tommy Tucker
posted Feb 25 2015 12:09PM
If someone comes up to you and asks for money, do you give them any? It happened to me recently. I was using the ATM, and a man approached me as I was walking away.
He told me that he just needed $40 for gasoline. He seemed earnest and sincere; and he SWORE, over and over, on his kid's lives, that he was telling the truth. So ya know what? I gave him the $40.
However, despite how sincere he seemed, something was nagging me. So I decided to follow him. And sure enough, he goes into a nearby drug store and grabs two bottles of whiskey. Un-freaking-believable.
Now, what would you do? Tommy being Tommy, I confronted him. I told him he oughta be ashamed of himself, swearing up and down that he was telling the true while he was just lying to my face.
We've all been in somewhat similar situations. Is this person asking for money really and truly needy? Or are they just trying to take advantage of the kindness of strangers and make an easy buck?
You never can tell. I was suckered and scammed by his act. It made me angry that somebody would do that. But, in the end, I think I did the right thing.
What would you do?
Tommy: Do you miss the "good ole days" of war?
by Tommy Tucker
posted Feb 11 2015 12:12PM
President Obama is asking Congress to authorize the use of force against ISIS… basically, to authorize an official war against them. It would limit the authorization to three years, with no restriction as to where U.S. forces could pursue the threat. The president's proposal bans "enduring offensive combat operations," whatever that means.
But I'm confused. Are we striking them in Syria? In Iraq? Both? Elsewhere? Not even the experts are entirely sure.
Another thing I don't quite get… how can we fully defeat ISIS? You normally don't see "good ole days" and "war" in the same sentence, but that's almost how I feel. We used to be able to easily identify who we were going after. They were countries that had known boundaries and had uniforms. Now it's a lot less certain.
It's almost like a game of whack-a-mole. If we strikes ISIS in Syria, they can pop back up in Iraq. If we hammer down on ISIS, extremists in al Qaeda can pop up in Afghanistan or Yemen or other places.
How far should we go with our soldiers risking life and limb so soon after previous wars ended? Join the conversation on Facebook below.

Tommy: Spygate, Bountygate and Deflategate?
by Tommy Tucker
posted Jan 21 2015 12:45PM
The Patriots are being investigated for possibly deflating balls during their playoff game against the Colts, which would allow them to grip the ball better (helpful on catches and carrying the football). So if true, this would be cheating, and it would directly impact on the field play. It's also not the first time New England and Bill Belichick are possibly in trouble with the NFL. They were fined and penalized draft picks for Spygate back in 2007.
I'm just sayin', this would be a 2nd offense. For Bountygate, the Saints lost draft picks AND Sean Payton for a year.
What's worse: Bountygate or Deflategate? In my totally and completely unbiased opinion…I gotta go with this one. So if it's true, shouldn't Belichick get suspended too?

Tommy: Why is the black murder rate so high?
by Tommy Tucker
posted Jan 16 2015 11:52AM
Louisiana has the 5th highest black homicide rate, according to a new report. In addition, 92% of murder victims in New Orleans are black.
Why? Why is it so high? And is there anything we can do to fix it?
To try and answer that, we spoke with Captain Black, an anti-crime activist with the
Home Defense Foundation
"You got too many people walking around this city…who don't need to be out on the streets. And every time there's a suspect captured, we see a record, and often times pending charges, and some form of state supervision, and even in some cases an ankle monitor. All clear indications that a person has matriculated through the system and rehabilitation has not happened."
So what can be done?
"I think we need stiffer penalties… if you do not empower citizens to defend themselves according to what state law dictates and not anybody's particular political bent, then the violence rate will continue. People have to be able to defend themselves."
Harsher punishments for criminals and more people defending themselves. Can this fix come easily?
"Nobody has a magic wand from Washington, D.C., Baton Rouge, or Perdido Street…that is going to magically make people stop killing each other."
We know solving this issue, and the issue of violent crime in general, ain't easy. It's tough, and it's hard, and it will take time.
But I think if we keep at it, taking steps – including those advocated by Captain Black – something can be done.

Tommy: The price of beef is too damn high!
by Tommy Tucker
posted Jan 9 2015 1:04PM
Every time I go to the store, it seems like the cost of food – meat, and beef in particular – is going up. In fact, the last time I tried to buy a roast, they wouldn't let me… my loan application was denied!
But seriously, why are food prices going up? We're saving money with lower gas prices, but that savings is being canceled out with higher food prices. What gives?
To try and answer that question, we turned to Chris Hurt, a Professor of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University.
He said that overall, prices are fairly moderate. BUT…"There are certain categories of those foods that are really expensive…the one that really hits us is the whole animal sector. Pork and beef have had record retail prices." Milk, eggs, and poultry as well.
I know I've seen it personally. Every time I go back to the store, the cost has gone up again.
"What we have experienced this year, is still the implications of the very severe droughts…that were going on multiple years that really reduced our cows here. We had a terrible disease in our pork industry…that reduced about up to 8% of our baby pigs. And we didn't get good crops until the 2013 crop."
So it was a combination of things. A double whammy of drought and disease will certainly do it. And with everything so connected, something negative in one industry will affect many others.
So what's on the forecast? Where's the beef?
"We're actually going to see beef prices go higher this year, from records in 2014 to new records in 2015.
Great. Hurt did say he expects prices for some foods to go down, fortunately; but we're stuck with paying an arm and a leg… and the other leg… for beef.

Tommy: My interview with the real Captain Phillips
by Tommy Tucker
posted Dec 3 2014 12:29PM
I have the honor and privilege of being able to talk to a lot of different people with all sorts of stories and backgrounds, and I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Captain Richard Phillips. Yep,
Cpt. Phillips, the captain of the Maersk Alabama when it was hijacked by Somali pirates.
We may have seen the movie, but it's entirely different to actually experience it, to live it. So…what was it like?
"Conditions were a little worse than what you see in the movie. It wasn't very nice in there. It was really hot in there, and I hate the heat. Time slowed down in the lifeboat."
Crammed into a smallish lifeboat with a bunch of pirates? Yeah, I would imagine it can be difficult for a movie to portray just how bad that could be.
What were the pirates like, and how did they treat him?
"The leader was very tough. Brooked no attitude with his crew… there were times when there were hittings and beatings in the boat. My sister Patty hit harder than them, though."
What a tough man. How did he handle it?
"There were a few times I laughed. I had given them cokes and cigarettes when they first came on to try and calm them down. When we were in the lifeboat, they didn't have lighters. So I started laughing at them since they couldn't smoke."
He watched them struggle to try and light a cigarette when he knew where the emergency kit with matches was, just feet from them. That had to help keep him sane.
The situation had to be grim, though. What's going through your head at a time like that?
"I wasn't going to give up hope, but I didn't see a good ending coming. I just knew I couldn't give up."

Tommy: A Free-For-Ball in the Superdome
by Tommy Tucker
posted Nov 18 2014 1:16PM
During Sunday afternoon's Saints loss to the Bengals, an incident heard 'round the world occurred. After a Cincinnati player scored a touchdown, he ran to the stands to give the football to a woman in a Bengals jersey. However, a Saints fan – Tony Williams –sitting nearby snatched the ball away from the Bengals fan and kept it as his own.
I am hereby dubbing this incident
TV cameras picked up Free-for-Ball, and it was soon spreading like a wildfire across the Internet and social media.
Most people are taking the side of the Bengals fan, Christa Barrett, criticizing Williams for refusing to give the ball up.
We got in touch with Jeff Williams, Tony Williams's son, to try and get their side of what happened. "It's been a tough couple days for us," he said. I bet. People have strong opinions about Free-for-Ball!
"My dad is one of the most classy guys that I know. My son is 8. He's been going to the game since he was two years old probably. Every single time after every single time that he's there, he wants to go down to where Gramps sits because he sits in a prime location. He's gotten some things here and there, but never anything like a game ball."
So the grandson was at the game, and I could see a grandfather wanting to be able to give his grandkid a game ball right after the game is over. I don't think that's unreasonable, in and of itself.
"In his mind, he caught a ball for his grandson. We know he's a gentleman. He's a retired Army veteran."
So there's Tony Williams's side of the story. He's been a season-ticket holder for decades, and his grandson was at the game and had never gotten a game ball. He had an opportunity, and he took it.
But was it right?
Check out the rest of my interview with Jeff Williams:
FULL AUDIO: Tommy talks to Jeff Williams about Free-For-Ball
After speaking with Tony Williams's son on Tuesday, I spoke with Christa Barrett, the Bengals fan involved in Free-for-Ball (this name catch on, I swear!), on Wednesday to see if we could get some closure.
Some people have brought up the fact that she wasn't by her seats, and she admits she that.
"If the Bengals score a touchdown, we're totally running down the rail and maybe we'll get a ball and get on TV."
Get on TV? Boy, did she get her wish!
Many who saw the incident were concerned that Williams had elbowed her, and that it was pretty physical. According to Barrett...nope.
"The pictures and the video make it look so, so much worse than what happened. It was a quick little scuffle for the ball. I didn't even notice any contact."
Despite the incident, she's not holding any hard feelings.
"I felt really bad for all the backlash he's gotten."
As for what she wants to happen to the ball?
"I would like for him to give it to his grandson."

Wearing MBT Shoes for the first time? Watch the MBT Shoes Instructional Video
Thank you FootwearEtc., for asking me for another review on these, but hey- these are my SIXTH pair of MBT!! So, obvoiusly I am completely sold on them, in fact they are absolutely the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, no doubt about that! The thing I may not have mentioned in my other reviews is what they do for your posture: the balance of stride created by the 'rocker' soles, makes one stand naturally taller, straighter, and over time develop your inner and upper thigh muscles, and tighter butt, for shaplier legs. How cool is that! So now I have this particular style in both colors, nice to have the beige to wear with toned down colors, or, with lime green sox, like I did the other day in the cold! Then they became stylishly warm, easy to adjust with their velcro closures. Thanks again, FootwearEtc.!
My podiatrist recommended MBTs for my arthritis, and he sure was right! In addition to arthritis, I have bunions, and I work on a concrete floor all day long. But this shoe design is a true miracle: I can stand for hours without pain! And, it aligns my posture by the weight balance that happens naturally when walking or doing any other movement. But the real joy I have had in these shoes is from Dancing - I can dance for hours in these- with no more foot pain, wow! I plan to buy several styles of MBTs for every occasion- so nice not to limp or or have to sit down from pain!
Wow- my feet are so happy to be in these shoes! I have bunions, arthritis, high arches, some lower back pain, I'm on my feet all day on concrete floor, AND I love great style! So, finding shoes that I'm happy with is usually a real challenge. But I put these MBTs on , and, wow! Now I never want to take them off. My podiatrist recommended that I wear MBTs, and he was so right, cause now I can be on my feet for many hours and feel no pain A great relief, and these are cute enough to feel feminine, not clunky! (I usually wear a 10 (41), but the 40 fits me perfectly) So a big Thank You! to the folks at Footwear, Etc. for making these available.

When you're too angry and you throw on the ground all sort of things.

To throw something on the ground is a forceful, if petulant and unreasonable, rejection of an offered object or idea. It's a lot easier to throw a physical object on the ground, but an abstract concept can be figuratively thrown on the ground, as well.
"I was walking through the city streets, and a man walks up to me and hands me the latest energy drink. "Run faster, jump higher", maaaaaan, I'm not gonna let you poison me, I throw it on the ground! You must think I'm a joke! I ain't gonna be part of this system!"
