I think it is under 80CCD(2) and amended 80 CCE to exclude contribution by central govt. under 80 CCD(2)
November 22, 2011 at 2:14 pm
Yes. the contributions made by your employer towards your NPS account qualifies for deduction under Section 80CCD(2) without attracting the limit of Rs. One lac laid down in Section 80 CCE from the current financial year. However there is only one restriction that only up to 10% of your salary only qualifies for deduction without any monetary limit.

I am a ldc of Department of Agriculture and Cooeration. My select list is 2002, Date of appointment 13.01.2003. In my department have 1999 select list ldc are still now ldcs. when stop gap arrangment OM dated 15.1.2008 by dopt. which is not implement still now in DOAC. Are they not entitled for promotion when they have completed 12 year service in the grade of ldcs. My department says that we have no vacancy in calender year. What we can do. Policy make by DOPT. Dopt has given surplus udcs to us. We are making efforts for promotion but DOAC's employees still now ldcs. Can anybody this grievance reaching to DOPT and anomaly committee.
April 7, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Respected Sir/ Madam,
I want to draw some discrimanary about seniority and promotion at the stage of ldc to UDC.
1. DOP&T has rule dated 15.1.2008-CS-II section that stop gap arrangement. This rules has you have qualifying service/ approved service minimum 8 years. Then DOP&T give promotion LDC to UDC. But all the departments/Ministrieis have several cases pending in administation section of various departments did not make elegible LDC to UDC while they have completed approved service.
2. Accordingly MACP when you completed 10 year regular service. They give to ldc to MACP in the grade pay of 2000 Rs.. This is the only 100 Rs. increase. This is the grade pay like increasing is big anomaly. when A ldc completed 10 year service, why he is entitled for 2000 GP. why not entitled 2400Rs. GP.
3. If cadre have no vacancy in the financial year then no promotion will met to ldc to udc. Wait for one year later. All arrears waste for mercyful ldc, who is also poor.
4. Date of next increment is july month. which is not right. Thousand employees are such so which take increment in january and february before 6th CPC. But now they are taking july increment. They are bearing 6 month incremanet loss.
Why govenemnt is not taking proper action about on MACP and approved service. When employees is entitled for promotion why promotion did not meet on time when employee is entitle for this.
Kindly motives question send to concerned authority DOPT and Anomily committee.
March 30, 2011 at 12:21 pm

I want to give some following suggestions for direct & indirect tax for Union Budget
Can these suggestions be sent to Government or concerned organisations or to some websites columns with your kind help.
Subject: consideration of provision of 0.001% Company Share Transaction Tax (CSTT) payable by buyer/seller on each transaction of shares, which will go into the pockets of respective individual Company/PSU, whose shares have been transacted in the Stock Market.
With due respect, I would like to draw your kind attention for consideration of provision of 0.001% Company Share Transaction Tax (CSTT) payable by buyer/seller on each transaction of shares, which will go into the pockets of respective individual Company/PSU, whose shares have been transacted in the Stock Market..
In the Stock Market, every body is getting its return/shares, except the respective individual Company/PSU, whose shares have been transacted, such as :-
1. Government STT, ST + Tax on Capital Gain, etc.
2. Brokers, Sub-Brokers, Agents, dealers etc. Brokerage, Accounts Maintenance Charges
3. Buyers and Sellers Profit +/- Loss
4. Employees of Stock Market, Brokers etc. Salary, Commission etc.
5. Respective Individual Company/PSU itself
Whose shares have been transacted
in the Stock Market
"Zero" and "0"
0.001% Company Share Transaction Tax (CSTT) amount, so collected/received by the respective individual Company/PSU, may be used for:
1. Development of infrastructure and Growth of its Company/PSU (including payment of Dividends to shareholders etc.)
2. Which may result in the development of Indian Economy, as a whole
3. this may accentuate the expansion of Indian Stock Market
4. And once again, it may boost the Growth of the Companies
5. And it may lead to perpetual repetition of this growth cycle
Government, Ministry of Finance and SEBI, if think appropriate, may take up this matter with all concerned and consider the following or any other suitable CSTT rates, in the interest of the growth of the Companies, development of Indian Economy and expansion of Stock Market, as a whole.
CSTT Rates (on delivery) CSTT Rates (Intra-Day)
0.001 % 0.0001%
It is also suggested to consider a single flat slab of 10% Tax on all Capital Gains chargeable as TDS, which may be deducted by the Brokers on quarterly/yearly basis, so that :-
1. burden of Tax Department for cross checking of Capital Gains shown in the returns submitted by the individuals with the actual Capital Gains of individuals in the Stock Market, be reduced; and
2. Government may get the direct revenue/Tax on the Capital Gains, uninterruptedly.
Please acknowledge the receipt.
With regards
Copy, for consideration and, if think appropriate, may take up the matter with Ministry of Finance and SEBI, to: –

I want to give some following suggestions for direct & indirect tax for Union Budget
Can these suggestions be sent to Government or concerned organisations or to some websites columns with your kind help.
20 per cent and 30 per cent Tax on Income are not advisable, as higher income groups may consider it painful to pay high taxes and there are chances that they may opt to evade taxes in one way or the other.
Well, Income Tax may be considered to be charged at a single flat rate of 10 per cent on total Gross Income as TDS just like a Service Tax only, the minimum.
However, this 10 per cent Income Tax amount on total gross income may be borne by Employer and Employee in the following ratio and amount:
Gross Income 10 % Tax in Rupees
(Single Slab 10%) Ratio
Employer : Employee Tax in Rupees Borne by
Employer : Employee
upto 50,000 May be Exempted For People below poverty Line (PBL)
Upto 1,00,000 10,000 Borne by Employer 10,000 : 0
Upto 2,00,000 20,000 9 : 1 18,000 : 2,000
Upto 3,00,000 30,000 8 : 2 24,000 : 6,000
Upto 4,00,000 40,000 7 : 3 28,000 : 12,000
Upto 5,00,000 50,000 6 : 4 30,000 : 20,000
Upto 6,00,000 60,000 5 : 5 30,000 : 30,000
Upto 7,00,000 70,000 4 : 6 28,000 : 42,000
Upto 8,00,000 80,000 3 : 7 24,000 : 56,000
Upto 9,00,000 90,000 2 : 8 18,000 : 72,000
Upto 10,00,000 1,00,000 1 : 9 10,000 : 90,000
More than 10,00,000 Borne By Employee Full by Employee
The implementation of the above System of bearing the tax burden both by the Employer and Employees may be considered as an effective tool for reducing the tax liability on employees (individuals) and reduces the chances of evasion of Tax by Employers, as sometimes, employers show inflated/bogus/more salaries in their accounts to reflect less income or profits.
Moreover, Government may consider reduced/lower single slab Income Tax rates i.e. 2 per cent, 4 per cent, 6 per cent and 8 per cent on Total Gross Income upto Rs.50,000, Rs.1,00,000, Rs.1,50,000, Rs.2,00,000 respectively, in the form of TDS for lower income groups, which is to be wholly borne by the Employer, instead of Employee.
However, people below the poverty line may be given exemption of this 10 per cent Tax.
Incomes of All small firms, different businessmen, wholesalers, retailers, Actors, Musicians, etc. may be considered to be charged at a single flat rate of 10 per cent either it is 25 lacs or 50 lacs or more.
Spiritual organizations, Charitable Institutions, Clubs, Welfare Organizations etc. may be considered to be liable to Pay Tax at a single flat rate of 10 per cent on all incomes/donations/receipts.
Incomes from 1. Interest 2. Dividends 3. Short / Long Capital Gain 4. House Property may be considered to be charged at a single flat rate of 10 per cent as TDS just like a Service Tax. However, people below the poverty line may be given exemption of this 10 per cent Tax.
Initially, Income Tax of single flat rate of 10 per cent on total Gross Income as TDS may be considered to be applicable for employees of Government, Public Sector Undertakings and Public Limited Companies. Its scope may be further extended to Private Limited Companies, then small firms, then different businessmen, then wholesalers, then retailers and so on.
Wealth Tax may be considered to be abolished.
STT may be considered to be allowed to be continued and may not be considered to abolish the same.
One new Tax on trading of Shares in the Stock Market may be introduced i.e. 0.001% on delivery and 0.0001% intra-day, which will go into the pockets of individual companies, whose shares have been transacted or traded, proportionately according to their volume of transactions.
When all the incomes are charged at a single flat rate of 10 per cent, then ultimately, the revenue from Income Tax shall definitely be manifold. Then there are chances of less Tax evasion, less burden of filing returns.
All investments and purchases should be free from any compulsion in liberalized economy and as such, all Tax Saving Investment Schemes may be considered to be abolished. People should decide its own priorities for purchases and investments with 90 per cent amount available at its disposal – after paying 10 per cent Income Tax. Then People shall have the option either to invest the savings or purchase some more items/things out of the savings. In both the cases, the Government will earn revenue either in the form of Tax on interests/Dividends or Tax on Excise/Sales Tax.
The implementation of this single flat rate of 10 per cent Tax on Total Gross Income may be considered to be an effective tool for overcoming recession and will definitively increase production, employment opportunities and investments, in addition to reduction of black-money, un-accounted income and tax evasion.

Request for clarification of the anomaly in fixing of my Pay at the time of my Assessment Promotion to the post of Senior Technical Officer from Assistant Engineer.
I was promoted as a "Senior Technical Officer" with effect from 05.10.2005. Accordingly, the Basic Pay in the pre-revised Scale of Rs 8,000-275-13,500 has been fixed at Rs 8825/-.
The implementation of Sixth Pay Commission pay scales will come into effect from 01-01-2006 and hence my basic pay has to be fixed at the appropriate level corresponding to Rs 8,825/-. Now my basic has been fixed at Rs 9,100/- in PB-II. However, the fixation of my Basic in the sixth pay commission should have been in the PB-III (Rs 15,600-39,100 with Grade Pay Rs 5,400).
The scale of pay for Senior Technical Officer (Which I am presently holding) is Rs 15,600-39,100. I am sure that there has been some error in fixing of my pay, which I would like to request the experts to clarify please.

November 16, 2010 at 6:08 pm
I had submitted medical claims in connection with the treatment of m husband in recognised/govt. hospitals. But since the office were keeping the claims pending I filed an OA in CAT and most of my bills were paid. Now I have 5 more claims to be reimbursed. The claims pertain to the period 2004 -05. The authorities during that time have put it in record (even while enquired through RTI act) that the claims are paid. But they have given false information and the bills are still lying with the office. The new authorities find it a headache to rectify matters. What do i do to bring out the irrationality of the ex officers and get reimbursement?

Mrs Thomas
May 15, 2010 at 9:35 pm
Dear thomas
After6 CPC 6 months service is required to get an increment. The period of 6 months is calculated from 01/07 of a year to 30/06/ of next year. In your case for 7/08 to 6/09; and 7/09 to 6/10 your service 3.5 months only each year. Hence No increment for both the years. Your office is correct.

Such DIY media are efforts to engage an American public fed up with high-gloss spin campaigns. But political power also requires people to unify, which is where the house party comes in.
In many ways, the house party phenom is a progressive flip to the way the Christian right used church socials and coffee klatches during the late 80s to mobilize "true believers" to pack school boards and other local offices with a bottom-up strategy that skewed the Republican party to the right. Now Bush's policiesand the lackluster scrutiny of those policies by major media outletsare propelling progressives to mobilize with similar fervor. While the notion of having a house party to screen a political documentary might have drawn snores a few years ago, these days it's the basis for a movement.
"It's a resurgence of the idea of the political salon on a mass level," says Leigh Smith, an Australian "dot.com refugee" who helped host the Avenue C gathering with his partner, Jill, a video editor who asked that her last name not be used because the media company she works for is squeamish about its employees engaging publicly in partisan activities. "The suffragette movement started out with high-society home gatherings," Leigh observes.
Leigh calls today's Net-powered salons "distributed agitation and home projects to break through media control." And he thinks the movement is gaining momentum: "The idea of going to a political rock concert was hip in the '80s, but this is a really interesting new kind of forum. It plays into the whole flashmob phenomena, which is something that people want to feel part of."

Nowadays, everybody seems eager to make an Apple product. These prototypes from independent designers may never appear on shelves at the Apple Store, but they include lots of innovative ideas.
iPod Chimera
It has been around only since 2007, but some people already want Apple to rethink the design for the iPhone (and iPod Touch). One design favourite is John Pszeniczny's iPod Chimera for 2010.
The fictional specs for this device read like a fanboy's dream: 500GB or 1TB of storage, a titanium scratch- and smear-resistant touchscreen, a 1280x720 high-definition display, 4G connectivity for the iPhone, a two-way iSight camera, GPS, satellite radio, and an HD receiver.
The iPod Chimera appeared three years ago - before the iPhone -as an entry in iLounge's iPod Concept Art Contest, and it also made a showing in Wired.
The design is very forward-thinking (especially for the pre-iPhone world of 2006), but does anyone else notice a striking similarity to Microsoft's new Zune HD?
Check out YouTube for a Chimera-inspired commercial. And just so we're clear: The iPod Chimera is not a real product.
iPod Chimera image: iLounge
If you're going to design an Apple vehicle, it can't be just a simple box with four wheels. It has to be compact, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Anthony Jannarelly's iMo concept is all that and more.
Designed as a student project at Coventry University, Jannarelly's iMo doesn't just take you places - it can run errands for you.
Apple's urban car of 2024, powered by electricity, seats two passengers comfortably with the option of seating three in a pinch.
The iMo is also more than a car, as it has built-in artificial intelligence that enables the vehicle to find its own parking, take the kids to school, and pick you up when you're done shopping. Check out Jannarelly's iMo website for more pictures and several clever Apple-style TV ads.

Jewish Rapper's Bickering Beef With Kanye
New single from West and Jay-Z disses Drake; will he respond?
One of pop music's major events this year is the collaboration between Kanye West and Jay-Z, who are calling themselves the Throne and releasing an album, Watch the Throne, in two weeks. The ad hoc duo, comprising two of hip-hop's biggest stars, may have an emerging battle with the most popular Jewish rapper in the game, Drake (the son of an African-American father and Canadian Jewish mother, and had a bar mitzvah). This isn't like Drake's non-feud with Matisyahu. This is real.
Drake's main beef is with Kanye. (Jay-Z picks his fights much more carefully; his status as a hegemon has been brilliantly analyzed by the tastefully named international relations blogger Marc Lynch). It can be traced back at least to last year, when Drake was dropped from Kanye's "All of the Lights," a song whose gigantic cast of guest vocalists included Rihanna and Elton John. Drake sounded disappointed but understanding: "Kanye's creative process is ever-changing," he said. "That's completely OK." But this year, Drake was starting something: He accused Kanye and Jay-Z of stealing his and Lil' Wayne's idea to join up. "We still gotta do that album," he told a radio host. "I heard some other guys are coming out with an album together. … I don't know where they got that idea." Drake threw down in the opening verse of Lil' Wayne's recent single "I'm On One," rapping, "I'm just feeling like the throne is for the taking, watch me take it!" ("The throne," "watch," etc.) And in his own "Dreams Money Can Buy," Drake rapped: "Oh, I never seen the car you claim to drive," in presumable reference to the $1.7 million Mercedes-Benz Kanye drove in Cannes. He added: "S**t I seen it, you just ain't inside."
Flash forward to late last week, when Jay-Z and Kanye—excuse me, the Throne—dropped their second single, "Otis," so named because it samples Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness." In what is being interpreted as a response to Drake's "never seen the car you claim to drive" line, Kanye retorts, "They ain't seen me cause I pulled up in my other Benz/Last week I was in my other other Benz." (Nice.)
So, will there be further disses on the rest of the album? Will Hova deign to get involved? And how will Drake respond? As long as this is between Kanye and Drake, Tablet Magazine can safely back Drake. But if Jay-Z gets involved, we are going to have to recuse ourselves. Jay-Z may not be Jewish, but he is … Jay-Z.

From a military outlook, the odds of apprehending Osama bin Laden looked good as soon as his complicity in the 9/11 attacks was established. This optimism began to fade after I watched the Bush Administration stumble over the months and years. After I watched the inept spectacle at Tora Bora, I was fairly certain that the Bush Administration would never come back with bin Laden's head in a sack. We've had some spectacularly incompetent generals and politicians over the last nine years.
The latest claim by Dick Cheney and Karl Rove is that bin Laden's demise in 2011 was brought about by the Bush Administration's waterboarding of suspects in 2002. I've given this some thought, but the time line doesn't check out. It's fairly easy to tell that neither Cheney nor Rove was ever in the military. Bin Laden must have enjoyed quite a vacation while he was being chased by the Bush Administration.

Bryan Eisenberg | January 19, 2007 | Comments
Your traffic costs way less than what it's worth. What are you going to do about it?
Is traffic cost inflation stalking you, or has it fully violated your 2007 marketing budget? No online marketer is exempt; online traffic costs will increase. It's the nature of supply and demand.
This relatively new Internet economy is settling into familiar patterns, and the costs of doing business online are beginning to resemble those of our brick-and-mortar brethren. In the brick-and-mortar world, there's no such thing as low-cost traffic.
The corner of 57th St. and Fifth Ave. in Manhattan is one of the highest trafficked intersections in the country. So it's no surprise the cost of commercial real estate is priced accordingly. To establish and support a retail store there, you must take advantage of the traffic's high margins and volumes.
Some domains, such as Blinds.com, Diamonds.com, Business.com, and CreditCards.com, are rare. The natural traffic that comes with them is similar to those of well-located real estate. Some brands, like Macy's, Wal-Mart, and Apple, are so well known that they, too, receive lots of natural traffic.
Organic traffic isn't free, either. Most highly ranked sites are firmly established and largely relevant to the search queries they attract. There aren't a lot of these out there.
Most companies simply don't have the capital or means to attract natural traffic flows. As in the brick-and-mortar world, they must work a little harder, advertise more, and otherwise make up for their lack of location. There's usually a correlation between location and ad budget: the better your location, the more traffic you get without advertising; the worse your location, the more you need to advertise.
Online businesses make up for less desirable locations by advertising. They rent high-traffic retail space in the form of paid keywords. Demand increases prices. Short term, online traffic remains a value compared to mass media. Soon, though, online traffic will rival, if not exceed, the cost of offline advertising.
I'm weary of listening to online marketers whine about their PPC (define) spend increases. I admit at one time I thought it was a worthy gripe. No more. The problem isn't that online traffic costs are increasing, it's that they cost so little to begin with.
Things that cost little are perceived to have little value.
If you were to pay the premium for commercial real estate and open up shop on 57th St. and Fifth Ave., you'd make sure your offerings were both relevant and profitable. It's unlikely you'd skimp on the customer experience. You'd have best display cases, décor, staff, lighting, and merchandise. Your storefront would be inviting and engaging. You'd do everything it takes to maximize the traffic potential.
We know several brick-and-mortar retailers that never whine about traffic cost. It's simply a cost of doing business. They understand the traffic's value and are willing to pay a premium for it. They also respect it. They don't expect to be successful just by setting up shop on the right corner. Those with several storefronts know traffic behaves differently from store to store. Some even move away from higher traffic spots into strategically placed locations (with less total traffic) to improve traffic quality and cut overhead.
Compared with offline retailers, some online retailers get traffic for pennies on the dollar. Is it any wonder they treat traffic as something worthless? They simply don't value it. This is indicated by the horrifically low 2.4 percent average online conversion rate. E-tailers are rummaging through hundreds of thousands of paid clicks for uniques, thinking nothing of lost opportunity, nor calculating their traffic's true value. The model's profitable, after all. For now.
Traffic-cost inflation will be good for the industry and the consumer. It will sort out average marketers from the exceptional ones, just as it does in the offline world. Exceptional marketers will begin to treat traffic with respect.
Ways to Add Value to Traffic
Your traffic costs way less today than what it's actually worth. What are you going to do about it?

Syracuse University is considering banning anonymous gossip website JuicyCampus, ABC News reports. That's right, kids. Your despicable orgy of Internet slander may be over.
The site, which allows users to anonymously post and discuss topics like "who has the most STDs on campus," has resulted in more than hurt feelings. According to Chris Burke, an attorney with Syracuse University Legal Services, he's seen a surge in "Internet complaints" over the past five years. Haven't we all.

SRHS Girls Golf Team swinging for successful season
Although the District Tournament doesn't start until Oct. 18 for Sebastian River girls golf team, coach Kurt Thull already is optimistic about the team's chances.
"Two years ago, this team was almost non-existent," said Thull, who also is a teacher at the Storm Grove Middle School. "I had only one golfer, and all we could do was show up at a match and forfeit."
But when Abby Sanchez joined the team, she brought several of her friends with her, and the team was back in business. Members of the team now include Sanchez, Nicole Bolton, Brooke Evans, Carly Gorelick, Nicole Martz and Lauren Bieber.
"That first year, we did OK. We were in the .500 range," said Thull. "But this year, we're currently 6 and 2, so we're doing really well. The experience is really paying off."
Thull said one of his top golfers is softball player Nicole Bolton.
"She has transitioned really well to golf," said Thull. "She consistently posts low scores and is a great asset to the team."
The team calls the Sebastian Municipal Golf Course home and plays all of their home games at the course. For the district tournament, the team will travel to play at Sailfish Point in Martin County.
Thull expects to have all six members of his team on the course for the tournament.
"I anticipate that we will do very well," Thull said.

30 September 2013 17:16 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--OMNOVA is taking a cautious approach to reports of Europe's economic recovery, the CEO of the US-based specialty hemical producer said on Monday.
"I don't see many signs that it will be a V-shaped recovery," said chief executive Kevin McMullen during a conference call about the company's fiscal Q3 earnings.
Sentiment surrounding the European economies has rebounded in recent months. In the 28-member EU, the ESI rose by 2.4 points to 100.6, the European Commission said on Friday, bringing the indicator above its long-term average for the first time since July 2011. In the 17-member eurozone, the ESI rose by 1.6 points to 96.9.
But McMullen, whose company has a manufacturing facility in Le Havre, France, and Europe/Middle East/India headquarters in Villejust, France, called the recovery "a difficult one to read".
McMullen said in OMNOVA's Q3 earnings news release that lower-than-expected volumes in Europe posed a downside risk to earnings in the fourth quarter.
"Given everything Europe has been through … caution is not a bad perspective to take on it," McMullen later said during the conference call.

AEGON's Q2 2012 Financial Supplement and Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are available on http://www.aegon.com.
Cautionary note regarding non-GAAP measures
This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures: underlying earnings before tax and market consistent value of new business. The reconciliation of underlying earnings before tax to the most comparable IFRS measure is provided in Note 3 "Segment information" of our Condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Market consistent value of new business is not based on IFRS, which are used to report AEGON's primary financial statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for IFRS financial measures. AEGON may define and calculate market consistent value of new business differently than other companies. AEGON believes that these non-GAAP measures, together with the IFRS information, provide a meaningful measure for the investment community to evaluate AEGON's business relative to the businesses of its peers.
Local currencies and constant currency exchange ratesThis document contains certain information about AEGON's results and financial condition in USD for the Americas and GBP for the United Kingdom, because those businesses operate and are managed primarily in those currencies. Certain comparative information presented on a constant currency basis eliminates the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. None of this information is a substitute for or superior to financial information about the company presented in EUR, which is the currency of AEGON's primary financial statements. Forward-looking statements The statements contained in this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined in the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The following are words that identify such forward-looking statements: aim, believe, estimate, target, intend, may, expect, anticipate, predict, project, counting on, plan, continue, want, forecast, goal, should, would, is confident, will, and similar expressions as they relate to AEGON. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. AEGON undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which merely reflect company expectations at the time of writing. Actual results may differ materially from expectations conveyed in forward-looking statements due to changes caused by various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to the following:
- Changes in general economic conditions, particularly in the United States, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom;
- Changes in the performance of financial markets, including emerging markets, such as with regard to:
- The frequency and severity of defaults by issuers in AEGON's fixed income investment portfolios;
- The effects of corporate bankruptcies and/or accounting restatements on the financial markets and the resulting decline in the value of equity and debt securities AEGON holds; and
- The effects of declining creditworthiness of certain private sector securities and the resulting decline in the value of sovereign exposure that AEGON holds;
- Changes in the performance of AEGON's investment portfolio and decline in ratings of the company's counterparties;
- Consequences of a potential (partial) break-up of the euro;
- The frequency and severity of insured loss events;
- Changes affecting mortality, morbidity, persistence and other factors that may impact the profitability of AEGON's insurance products;
- Reinsurers to whom AEGON has ceded significant underwriting risks may fail to meet their obligations;
- Changes affecting interest rate levels and continuing low or rapidly changing interest rate levels; changes affecting currency exchange rates, in particular the EUR/USD and EUR/GBP exchange rates;
- Changes in the availability of, and costs associated with, liquidity sources such as bank and capital markets funding, as well as conditions in the credit markets in general such as changes in borrower and counterparty creditworthiness;
- Increasing levels of competition in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and emerging markets;
- Changes in laws and regulations, particularly those affecting AEGON's operations, ability to hire and retain key personnel, the products the company sells, and the attractiveness of certain products to its consumers;
- Regulatory changes relating to the insurance industry in the jurisdictions in which AEGON operates;
- Acts of God, acts of terrorism, acts of war and pandemics;
- Changes in the policies of central banks and/or governments;
- Lowering of one or more of AEGON's debt ratings issued by recognized rating organizations and the adverse impact such action may have on the company's ability to raise capital and on its liquidity and financial condition;
- Lowering of one or more of insurer financial strength ratings of AEGON's insurance subsidiaries and the adverse impact such action may have on the premium writings, policy retention, profitability of its insurance subsidiaries and liquidity;
- The effect of the European Union's Solvency II requirements and other regulations in other jurisdictions affecting the capital AEGON is required to maintain;
- Litigation or regulatory action that could require AEGON to pay significant damages or change the way the company does business;
- As AEGON's operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information technology, a computer system failure or security breach may disrupt the company's business, damage its reputation and adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows;
- Customer responsiveness to both new products and distribution channels;
- Competitive, legal, regulatory, or tax changes that affect profitability, the distribution cost of or demand for AEGON's products;
- Changes in accounting regulations and policies may affect AEGON's reported results and shareholder's equity;
- The impact of acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items, including AEGON's ability to integrate acquisitions and to obtain the anticipated results and synergies from acquisitions;
- Catastrophic events, either manmade or by nature, could result in material losses and significantly interrupt AEGON's business; and
- AEGON's failure to achieve anticipated levels of earnings or operational efficiencies as well as other cost saving initiatives.

University of Texas Arlington
Murder mystery next on Theatre Arts schedule
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
Media Contact: Sue Stevens
ARLINGTON - Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lanford Wilson's unpredictable and engaging murder mystery, "Book of Days," is the next production from The University of Texas at Arlington Department of Theatre Arts. Performances are at 8 p.m. Nov. 13, 14, 19. 20 and 21 and 2:30 p.m. Nov. 22 in the Mainstage Theatre, Room 174, at the Fine Arts Building, 502 S. Cooper St.

The play is set in a small town dominated by a cheese plant, a fundamentalist church and a community theater. When the owner of the cheese plant dies, his bookkeeper suspects murder. The bookkeeper, cast as Joan of Arc in a local production of George Bernard Shaw's "St. Joan," takes on the attributes of her fictional character and launches into a one-woman campaign to see justice done. The playwright has created characters who display both comic turns and enormous depth. Dennis Maher, associate professor and dramaturge, will direct.
Student performers are: Katie Butler as Ruth Hoch, Jackie Pickard as Len Hoch, Nick Gould as Boyd Middleton, Mallory Nuñez as Ginger Reed, Tracy Davis as Martha Hoch and Eugene Chandler as Walt Bates. Others are Julie Shelton as Sharon Bates, Robbie Clark as James Bates, Angela Horn as Louann Bates, Hakeem Smith as Earl Hill, Alan Pollard as Rev. Bobby Groves and Franklin Murrah as Sheriff Conroy Atkins.
The understudy ensemble includes Nikki Singer, Heather Trietley, Rachael Ybarra, Haywood Buras, Clare Boyd, Lauren Leonardo, Logan Whatley and Adrian Stecker.
Theatre Arts Specialist Michelle Harvey is scenic designer, theatre arts major Chris Mount is lighting designer and Theatre Arts Specialist Jared Land is sound designer. Adjunct Laurie Land is costume designer and Associate Professor Joe Kongevick is make-up designer. Assistant Professor David Navalinsky is technical director and production manager. Theatre arts major Nick Irion is assistant director.
Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or 817-272-5722 for more information about the production.
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

Rare Flyers rally sinks Habs
Fighting for a playoff spot, the Flyers need wins down the stretch.
Nothing like a rare third-period comeback to help the push.
ONE LAST GO-ROUNDTake a look back at the best fights from the 2012-13 season.
Wayne Simmonds and Erik Gustafsson scored goals late in the game to lift Philadelphia to a 5-3 win Wednesday night over the Montreal Canadiens.
The Flyers were 1-11 when trailing after two periods, a big blemish for a team that made edge-of-your-seat rallies almost routine in four seasons under coach Peter Laviolette.
They got the clutch goals they needed to keep the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference within striking distance with their first three-game winning streak of the season.
''We don't have any choice,'' Laviolette said. ''We've just been talking about our games and less on what other teams are doing around the league. The only thing we control right now is our games, and we've got to make sure we win them.''
With Philadelphia trailing 3-2, Simmonds tipped in the puck from the crease for the tying goal. Less than two minutes later, Gustafsson's pass for Matt Read went off a defenseman and into the net past a stunned Carey Price for his 10th goal and a 4-3 lead.
Jakub Voracek scored an empty-netter with 39 seconds left.
''We called ourselves the comeback kids last year, and we are kind of back on that same page,'' Read said. ''You play with confidence, and when you're down one or two goals you just fight back and it's another comeback. The comeback kids win again tonight.''
Sean Couturier and Simon Gagne also scored for the Flyers. Alexei Emelin, Brandon Prust and David Desharnais scored for Montreal.
''We just didn't match their intensity, it's just that simple,'' Montreal coach Michel Therrien said.
Prust and Desharnais scored 20 seconds apart late in the second period for Montreal, which is chasing Pittsburgh for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Prust evened the score at 2-2 with his fifth goal of the season.
The Canadiens went ahead on a bit of an odd play. Desharnais' slapper from the circle knocked off Philadelphia's Brayden Schenn's stick and knuckled toward goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. Maybe the Flyers' much-maligned goalie lost the puck in the lights, but he dropped to his knees and ducked as the puck sailed over his head for the go-ahead goal.
He was mocked on social media by Flyers fans fed up with his erratic play over the last two seasons.
Bryzgalov signed a $51 million, nine-year deal before the 2011 season and has rarely played like the goalie expected to lead the Flyers to their first Stanley Cup since 1975. Before Wednesday's trade deadline, the Flyers acquired backup goalie Steve Mason from the Columbus Blue Jackets, a sign that perhaps the Flyers could use their amnesty buyout on Bryzgalov in the offseason and go with a cheaper and just as productive alternative.
Bryzgalov was bailed out late in the third when Simmonds caught a break and tipped in the puck for the tying goal.
Bryzgalov, making his 20th straight start, stopped 14 shots. He did not talk to the media.
Emelin's shot from the point through teammate's Brendan Gallagher's screen gave Montreal a 1-0 lead in the first.

The Flyers tied it when the puck shot off Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban's skate and into the net. Couturier was credited with his third goal. Gagne made it 2-1 with his third goal.
''They got four pretty lucky goals, in my opinion,'' Price said. ''That's the difference.''
With Pittsburgh's 6-1 loss to the New York Rangers, the Canadiens lost a valuable chance to gain ground in the standings.
''It would have been nice to be able to capitalize,'' Price said. ''But that's the way it goes.''

The natives have overrun China White's men, but Taiana refuses to leave without Oliver. Oliver stops the men aboard the ship. Hackett tries to kill Ollie, but Taiana holds a gun to the back of Hackett's head, but Ollie says not to. But China White does shoot Hackett. She says that if Oliver doesn't drop his weapon then she will shoot Oliver and Taiana. Ollie tells China White the story of Robin Hood, then shoots a rope that was holding a large crate which falls on her and her men. Then Taiana goes into labor. She names her baby girl Tupu Tamaitai, "Queen". China White and the rest of her men are arrested. Taiana refuses to go with Oliver back to Star City, saying that her and the rest of the natives just want to be left in peace.

Company Using Proxy To Evade Craigslist Block Violated CFAA 186

WillgasM writes "Changing your IP address or using proxy servers to access public websites you've been forbidden to visit is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, according to a judge's broad ruling (PDF) during a case on Friday involving Craigslist and 3taps. Opponents argue that this creates a slippery slope that many unsuspecting web users may find themselves upon. With your typical connection being assigned an address dynamically, is an IP ban really a 'technological barrier' to be circumvented? How long until we see the first prosecution for unauthorized viewing of a noindex page?" Probably a long time; the judge in the case rejected the slippery slope argument: 'There, and sprinkled throughout its earlier, ostensibly text-based, arguments, 3taps posits outlandish scenarios where, for example, someone is criminally prosecuted for visiting a hypothetical website www.dontvisitme.com after a "friend" — apparently not a very good one — says the site has beautiful pictures but the homepage says that no one is allowed to click on the links to view the pictures. Needless to say, the Court's decision [regarding 3taps' actions]... does not speak to whether the CFAA would apply to other sets of facts where an unsuspecting individual somehow stumbles on to an unauthorized site.' Willful evasion of blocks for commercial gain, on the other hand ...

We really enjoyed our stay in the Hotel Bäumle. It is so close to the Ulm Münster, and also an easy walk from the train station. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and the location was quite quiet. The building has a lot of character, and yet our room was modern and spacious inside. The main negatives were... More

best coffee shop for plotting rapture and revenge New York 2003 - HIGHER GROUNDS CAFÉ
A covenant diabolique seems stipulated at HIGHER GROUNDS CAFÉ, a bewitching pussycat of a place run by a comely group of gallant muchachos. The coffee will brace you for hatching cunning love hexes and avenging hat tricks both. Pinch blueprints for slaying hearts or wreaking malice from domino players while nursing a barrel-sized iced Red Eye (perk with espresso). And if those imprints fail, moon over the weeping willows across the street.
