Don't know if you saw this recent thread asking a similar question. For your convenience, my opinion about the climate is attached, below. It doesn't address the socioeconomic or cultural scenes out here. In general, the wet side of the Cascades enjoys higher salaries but the cost of living is a fair bit higher. Along the I-5 corridor, south of Olympia is the least expensive living, but opportunities are fewer. I'd strongly consider looking at life in the Portland area...it's a great city that is central to an amazing array of both professional and recreational opportunities. The greater Tacoma/Seattle/Everett area has some interesting stuff happening, but I could absolutely never tolerate any commuting in these areas. It wouldn't be bad if you could avoid commuting, however. North of Everett, the Skagit Valley is one of the most lovely places out there, but, again, it's small town USA. Lots of folks enjoy living there and commute south to Everett or Seattle. The Bellingham area has a good-sized university and, yes, lots of healthcare (my field). Be warned, however, that the cost of living in this area is ridiculously overinflated. You pay to be in the paradise that is a 90-minute drive to Seattle, a 60-minute drive to Vancouver, BC, and a short hop to the Cascades or to the San Juan islands.
Like many areas, the quality of education varies quite a bit. I've moved twice now with school-aged kids and both times made my decision of location based upon the school district; educational quality varies surprisingly even within our county. A lot of this info is available online.
I can't compare employment opportunities here with what you folks are seeing in eastern PA these days. I wouldn't make a leap without really being sure about the career thing. I would differ strongly with the notion that Bellingham is a sure bet for healthcare. The hospital is suffering tremendous financial and administrative pains and I can't encourage anyone to consider working there.
BTW, I grew up in the Washington, DC area and on the Jersey shore, but have lived out here for most of my adult life. Here's the weather editorial I wrote for the other thread:
The eastern two-thirds of Washington really should be a different state; the dry side is pretty much on a different planet. The wet side is why we're The Evergreen State. Most locals agree that this isn't because of the conifers that abound, but rather because of the mildew and moss that cling to every house, fence, and slow-moving vehicle. Here are some additional thoughts on our weather for potential residents contemplating a move.
Cloud cover: gray and formless. Not lovely, white, puffy clouds like most of the country. Just gray. A dim void overhead. Take vitamin D3. No kidding. And when we get the odd sunny day during the winter and spring months, we go kind of crazy, get rather giddy, do silly things, babble a great deal; it's a kind of happy hysteria.
Cloud cover #2, our skin: We are by nature fishbelly white if of the Caucasian persuasion. This leads to a couple of interesting endemic phenomena. There are those folks who sport oddly deep tans during the winter months. They tend to be realtors and other people who drive large SUVs. They spend a great deal of time on tanning beds and can always be relied upon to tell you about their mid-winter trip to Maui. Gold jewelry accompanies this phenomenon. When they retire, they spend half the year in Arizona and half the year at the dermatologist's office. The other local tradition is for the fishbelly folk to strip down whenever the sun comes out, frantically absorbing as much UV radiation as possible. When the Great Blazing Orb In The Sky favors us with an appearance of a few days' duration, you can count on seeing a lot of people at the grocery store who are sporting dramatic sunburns. These contrast startlingly with the glaring white patterns caused by their tank tops and sunglasses.
Rainfall: drizzle. Not great gully-washers and toad-stranglers like most of the country. Just constant, omnipresent drizzle. Throw on the GoreTex and do your thing. We don't use umbrellas much. If you stay inside because it's raining, you will soon sink into the depths of a depression such as any amount of alcohol and/or God won't help. In fact, they just make it worse. Rainfall is never measured in inches as in other parts of the country; we measure it by weeks.
Rainfall #2, Soil Stability: we have none. Every third house is built on an unstable slope, and virtually every mile of Burlington Northern Santa Fe track is at the base of a potential mudslide. Homes routinely slide downhill, although, since everyone expects this, no one is ever killed by it. Savvy folks always have their video cameras primed and ready to capture their neighbor's home plunging down onto the railroad tracks below and, happily, the neighbors always make it out alive and manage to rescue their chihuahua, which makes for great television. Don't plan on any meaningful amount of rail traffic during these months as the tracks are constantly under repair.
Rainfall #3, Rivers: An odd thing is that the locals who live in these amazingly fertile river valleys don't seem to understand why the soil is so fertile. Two out of three people actually have hands-on experience making a sand bag levee. Anyway, it makes for great television.
Daylight: Hey, we're at a higher latitude than Maine, folks. When the Winter Solstice hits, you ride to work in darkness and you come home in same. Get a full-spectrum light and have the family sit around it for breakfast and dinner. No kidding. But then...the daylight starts to return and when that Summer Solstice hits it's amazing. We're all sleep deprived because we stay out playing until 10:30 pm and the sunlight streaming in our windows wakes us up at 5:30 the next morning. And we know that as soon as summer starts, the days will start shrinking back away from us, so we frantically try to cram as much sun worship as we can into those precious months. Of course, there's the big tease factor: the endless month of Juneuary tests our patience as we wait for the rain to stop and the temps to rise somewhere in early August.
Temperatures: There's a reason that the stereotypical northwesterner is depicted wearing (a) an Eddie Bauer vest and Pendleton plaid shirt if a Star-Bellied Sneetch or (b) a hoodie if of the plain-bellied variety. Of course, the flip side of the cool temp thing is that it rarely gets very cold. We enjoy the interesting phenomenon of the plain-bellied Sneetches wearing shorts and flip-flops year-round. Very classy. Very few homes have air conditioning, and people start keeling over when temps exceed the mid-seventies. Interestingly, we complain all year about how cold and miserable we are, and when we occasionally hit 80 degrees we go on endlessly about how hot and miserable we are. Let's just say that it's "cool temperate" around here. Bring your fleece.
Snowfall: Oh Jesus, native northwesterners are positively hazardous when the snow occasionally flies. In fairness, it's a very wet and slippery snow, none of that dry, crunchy stuff that actually allows for some traction. But an inch of snow will bring us to our knees much as it does our nation's capital. Schools close, government shuts down, essential services are cut off, food banks run dry, the governor urges us all to stay home and shelter in place, relying upon our disaster supplies until the emergency has passed. Happily, these snow events are rare; we often go years without any white stuff on the ground. When it does come, the media refers to it as "Blizzard '99" or "Superstorm '02" or something ominous like that. Of course, if there comes more than an inch or two, it becomes "Winter Disaster Crisis '06." Then, when we get a few snowfalls during the same winter, they carve that year into the big granite slab of collective memory as one of those winters to be remembered and handed down to our children. Seriously, folks, just stay off the roads if there's any snow. The ditches are littered with Subarus and lifted 4x4s whose drivers, every time it snows, seem to forget that steering and braking are not aided by four wheel drive.
Wind: It blows here sometimes. We do occasionally see hurricane-force winds. Travel near the coast and you'll see all these signs proclaiming "Large-Scale Wind Disaster Deforestation Wipeout 1996, Replanted 1998." Unfortunately, because the ground is constantly saturated with water during the wet and windy months between November and Juneuary, the nightly entertainment on the evening news includes endless helicopter shots of lovely homes with large conifers lying across them. Sadly, at least ten or twenty times each winter, one of these big trees squashes some poor dude on his way to the mailbox. Bad luck for him.
Natural Disasters: Happily, we're free from hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons and electrical storms. You will be perfectly safe if you live in a mobile home. Bear in mind that we do get the occasional stroke of lightning and distant rumble of thunder. Although you may only see this once in five years or so, you are well-advised to use quality power strips with overvoltage protection for your electronics. Although these will address the infrequent power surge as a result of lightning, they're much more useful in the winter as power lines are virtually continuously being hit by trees and knocked over by dim-witted drivers, resulting in constant brownouts and dramatic flares of light as a few hundred extra volts surge through your home. Now for the bad news: at some point you may be entirely wiped off the map by a volcanic eruption, major earthquake, and/or tsunami. This is virtually guaranteed, and the anticipation is killing us.
Everyone knows a family who was here visiting in August, fell in love with our coffee and decided to move here. Unfortunately for them, they didn't really understand all of the lifestyle implications of the above-described weather and they now suffer miserably and/or stumble about in stunned disbelief, asking over and over how we deal with the suffocating claustrophobia of living under a wet rock. We all chuckle at this and yet feel truly sorry for them, much as we secretly envy our friends and family members who are able to somehow find their escape and live the Arizona Sunshine Dream.
Many folks will smile and tell you that the weather doesn't bother them a bit or even that they love the weather here. They're full of shit.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

There's a lot of truthiness in there.
On the plus side, I think we have some of the best "Rain Riders" in the country up here (We get lots of practice). If you were to wait for clear weather to ride, you better find a new hobby (or buy a Cruiser and spend 3 monts of the year rubbing it down with a diaper). Some of my best riding days have been on days with "Rain Showers" ~ 4 hours of clouds followed by 15 minutes of warming up in a starbucks. Oh, and, invest in heated gear as part of your "moving expenses".

You also should add that in Washington you can you marry anyone you want, smoke dope and there is no state income tax.

After playing a bit of the CS:GO beta tonight, I noticed that everyone playing through the matchmaking system got matched into Casual games.
So what's the difference between the Casual and Competitive? There are a few tweaks that make the game a bit smoother for new CS players looking to get their feet wet. Here's how the two stack up in the current build:
- Start with $2000 minimum.
- Matches last 30 minutes.
- Each round lasts 3 minutes.
- You have 45 seconds to buy (NOT freeze time).
- Free spectate either team.
- Start with kevlar and helmet already bought.
- Friendly fire slows down your teammates but doesn't hurt them.
- Can voice chat between teams (only when dead as far as I know).
- Start with $800 minimum.
- Matches last 30 rounds.
- Each round lasts 2 minutes.
- You have 45 seconds to buy.
- You can only spectate your team and only in first person.
- You have to buy kevlar and helmet if you want it.
- Friendly fire is lethal; beware of trolls!
- Voice chat will probably be limited to your team.

Mailroom Scare! Suspicious White Powder Meant For Dancing With The Stars
Thankfully, the scariest thing facing the Dancing With The Stars set right now is the risk of another Nancy Grace nip slip.
That wasn't always the case, though! Officials have now confirmed that a suspicious white powder which spilled out of an envelope intended for Dancing With The Stars is not anthrax, nor is it any other harmful substance.
TMZ broke the story of the anthrax scare, which happened in the mailroom of CBS studios. The L.A. City Hazardous Materials team arrived on the scene at 3:21 p.m. PT, and officials were able to determine that the powder was a "non-harmful" substance by 4 p.m.
No word yet on who the letter was intended for, or what the mysterious white substance actually ended up being. We're just glad the Dancing With the Stars cast are no longer dancing with...danger!

But Roger is a Norman French name and by contrast the Hodgsons are most numerous in Cumbria in England, which was settled by the Norse Vikings in the tenth century. Hodgson could thus be derived from the Norse name Oddgeir, as suggested by earlier surname authorities. Alternatively, it could derive from the Norse name Hrodgeir.
One of the earliest Victorian surname studies is by Mark Lower (1842, p. 96) who suggests that Hodgson may come from "son of Roger" but immediately adds "if not from Odo."
In a more extensive discussion of the surname, Robert Ferguson (1858) entertains a number of possibilities concerning its origin. One is to connect it to the Scandinavian first name Odda. Ferguson notes (1858, p. 225) that this name, although frequently appearing before the Norman Conquest, does not appear to be a word in the Anglo-Saxon language. He writes: "Might it not be from Old Norse oddr, a dart or arrow, whence Oddr and Oddi, common Scandinavian names?"
In two editions of his major work on British surnames, Henry Barber (1894, p. 143; 1903, p. 207) presents more than one possible explanation, and notes in particular that Hodgson may derive from the Old Norse Oddgeir-son.
Charles Bardsley (1901, p. 390) takes a similar line, offering multiple explanations including "son of Roger" but also giving due prominence to the possibility of Old Norse origins. For him, the derivation of the Hodgson surname could be from "'the son of Odo' from the nickname Oddy, sometimes Hoddy, whence Odson or Hodson. There can be no doubt that Odo is the parent of many of our Hodsons. In Yorkshire it was for two centuries one of the most popular font-names for boys."
Analysis of the early geographical distribution of the Hodgson surname, as well as recent DNA analysis of a number of Hodgsons, support the theory of Norse origins (Hodgson 1993, 2005)
Hodgson (2005) offers an explanation of the original meanings of Oddgeir and Hrodgeir, as well as biographies of a number of prominent Hodgsons. See also Hodgson (1925).
Hodgson can also be a given name:

The sixth month of pregnancy comes after 20th week of gestational age. During this period of time, the fetal has grown hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. The bone structure is solid strong, but it has not subcutaneous fat, so the fetal is skinny. Fetal now is about 30 cm and weighing about 650 grams. The stomachs of pregnant women began to take shape of a typical pregnant woman.

4. Pay more attention on preventing constipation. Eat food containing crude fiber, such as green vegetables and fruits. Drink at least six cup of water daily. A pregnant woman who has swelling leg should drink more water during the day and less during the night.
5. There will increase risk of urinary tract infection during the sixth month of pregnancy. Drink plenty of water is to ensure smooth flow of effective methods.

Lady Tigers Defeat 15th-Ranked Mississippi State
Nov. 21, 2000
MEMPHIS, TENN. - The University of Memphis Lady Tiger basketball team knocked off the 15th ranked Bulldogs of Mississippi State on Tuesday evening, 88-82 in front of 2,117 fans. The Lady Tigers are now 2-0 thus far, with both victories coming against SEC opponents while the Bulldogs fall to 0-1.
"Whew, what a ballgame," said head coach Joye Lee-McNelis. I'm sweating as much as they (the players) are sweating. It was a great, great win. What I think about is our very first team meeting when we talked about raising the bar. We have made a lot of progress in raising the bar.
"I am very proud of our win," added McNelis. "We played very hard. I was a bit disappointed at how we got rattled at times. We began to panick down the stretch as Mississippi State closed the gap. This was a solid team win as everyone made this happen. We have to continue to get better because we have a long ways to go. we can't sit back and get satisfied."
The main attraction wasn't the game itself, but the duel between All-American candidates LaToya Thomas of Mississippi State and senior guard Tiffany Adkins of Memphis. Thomas carried the Bulldogs for the duration of the game and finished with a double-double of 48 points and 10 rebounds. Adkins was equally impressive, with a career high 37 points and finishing only one board shy of collecting her second double-double, in as many games. Thomas' 48 points set an MSU school record and was the most points ever scored at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse by either Memphis or an opponent.
Thomas was a one-man highlight film, scoring the first 18 points for MSU and was a serious threat from all over the floor. Adkins, aside from the opening bucket by junior guard Lauren Jackson, went on to score the next seven points for the U of M, and helped Memphis cruise out to an early 9-5 lead early into the game. Both players were on fire in the first half, as Thomas dropped in 23 and Adkins answered with 19 points including a key three-pointer which increased the Lady Tigers' lead by 12 with just under three minutes left in the half.
Mississippi State got as close as two after a pair of free throws by Thomas, which made the score 26-24 with seven minutes remaining in the half. The Lady Tigers then answered back with an 8-0 run capped by a 15 foot jumper by Adkins. Memphis actually led by as many as 15 in the first half and went into halftime, enjoying a 46-33 lead.
Memphis then came out strong in the second half, and held a 17-point advantage nearly three minutes into the second period. MSU stayed relatively close in the following minutes but the Lady Tigers opened up another 17-point lead that seemed to spell the end for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State battled back though, and crept within four points at 86-82 with a little over a minute remaining in regulation but couldn't get over hump and dropped their first contest of the season.
Memphis got 10 points and five boards from sophomore forward Shannon Hamp, as well as six assists from senior point guard Tiffany Collins during their second straight win.
"The one thing I want to commend are the fans that were here tonight," said McNelis. "In the final four minutes of the game, they were the major key. I really and truly do not think that we could have won the game without the fans. They were loud, active and into the ballgame, and it really helped us keep the momentum going."
The Lady Tigers return to the Elma Roane Fieldhouse Friday to open the Lady Tiger Classic against East Tennessee St. at 6 p.m. Texas A&M and Northwestern State will face each other at 8 p.m. The consolation game will be played on Saturday at 3 p.m., with the championship game to follow.

Is it possible to import camera tracking data (point cloud) into DAZ 3D?
Thanks in advance
You'd presumably have to write a script to read the points and assign them to keyframes. What format is your camera point cloud in?
Hi redave. thanks for the reply. sorry about my very delayed response. I did not seem to get an email telling me that someone had responded to my question. stumbled across this thread again today. I am not technical at all. I have no idea how to write a script. I am not a programmer and do not want to be. I use another 3d program which allows me to in a very non technical way import camera tracking data and attach a camera to it without any scripting at all. is daz 3d not able to do this as a standard point and click feature?
There are people who are interested in doing scripts for free (and for-pay as well), so that might be a surmountable problem eventually. What is important is to have enough information on the file format. Can you tell us what is the extension of those files, and what program you use?
ok. my workflow is i create the motion tracking data in a 3d camera tracking program called voocat and it is able to export the camera tracking data in the following formats:
Maya, XSI, 3D Studio Max, LightWave, Blender, Cinema 4D via Lightwave, Collada, Houdini CameraClip, Houdini Script, Softimage 3D XSI und text file
i want to be able to import the camera tracking data into daz so that the virtual camera in daz mimics the tracked footage done in voocat.
I already know how to do this in vue infinite except that i do not want to use vue infinite to render anything.i want to use daz.
You might be able to do it via the FBX export… but that means you'd have to set up your camera track in DS then take it to whatever you're using… and that assumes it's possible. I render in DS, that's where the people live, so that's where I render.
Are you using a particular render engine, like Reality/LuxRender or Octane or something like that? You're best option, IMHO will be to have your render engine be consistent, that way your final product will be consistent.

Lowell, Massachusetts
Founded in 1825, the Hamilton Manufacturing Company operated the three-story brick Italianate building as a textile mill until production ceased in 1926. Today it is part of the Lowell Locks and Canals National Landmarks Historic District. The district showcases the extraordinarily well-preserved evolution of Lowell, America's first major industrial city. Assisted with a $250,000 Save America's Treasures grant, the Architectural Heritage Foundation redeveloped this site, formerly a counting house and storehouse, into 65 loft-style apartments.

Mounting evidence suggests volcanic activity tens of thousands of years ago in a part of India called the Deccan Traps could have killed off the dinosaurs, according to recent U.S. research.
This massive outpouring of lava may have injected sulfur and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, causing global warming and ocean acidification that led to the dinosaur die-off around 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) extinction.
By contrast, according to the more popular Alvarez hypothesis, a giant meteorite crashed off Mexico, releasing toxic dust and gas into the atmosphere, which blocked out the sun and cooled the Earth.
"Our new information calls for a re-assessment of what really caused the K-T mass extinction," study co-author Gerta Keller at Princeton University told Live Science.
Keller's team studied marine sediments discovered off Eastern India almost 2 miles beneath the surface, and found they contained many fossils of tiny plankton from around the K-T boundary. Many of the plankton species reduced in number after layers of lava were laid down.
Most plankton species disappeared slowly, but a genus with a simple shell called Guembilitria proliferated. The researchers observed similar patterns in other marine sediments, including from Egypt, Spain, and Texas.
"We call it a disaster opportunist," Keller told LiveScience. "It's like a cockroach—whenever things go bad, it will be the one that survives and thrives."
Guembilitria may have burgeoned due to acid rain from sulfur released by the Deccan Traps binding with calcium and preventing many sea animals from making their shells.
Previously, the team had found iridium in Mexican sediments indicative of an asteroid strike, but these sediments would have been after the extinction.
Also, they say the asteroid was too small to match the levels of sulfur and carbon dioxide seen in the rocks; it may have worsened the extinction, but could not have caused it.
The research was presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union on Dec. 5, 2012.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) Savannah prosecutors are weighing an appeal of a judge's decision to throw out charges against a man accused of raping and killing his girlfriend's 12-year-old daughter.
Chatham County Superior Court Judge Penny Haas Freesemann ruled Wednesday that prosecutors violated Bobby Lavon Buckner's right to a speedy trial with constant delays and mounting allegations of evidence being lost. Buckner was to stand trial June 11 in connection with the 2003 slaying of young Ashleigh Moore. He was first charged with the crime in 2007.
District Attorney Larry Chisolm has 30 days to appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court. His office said in a statement Wednesday prosecutors will review the case and consult with Ashleigh's family before deciding.
Buckner's attorney, Newell Hamilton, says he's stunned the judge granted his motion to dismiss the

Francis Bacon, "Untitled" (Three Figures), circa 1981.
BRUSSELS: As Ireland helms the troubled EU, bric-a-brac from the studio of Irish-born artist Francis Bacon, who came to exemplify angst in 20th century Europe, goes on show in the Belgian capital.
Photos of a zebra carcass and an elephant foetus, of artist friends Lucian Freud and Salvador Dali, as well as sketches by Michelangelo and Velasquez torn from books, are among scores of inspirational memorabilia salvaged from the London studio where Bacon lived and worked from 1961 until his death in his 80s in 1992.
Several years later, its entire contents were handed to Dublin City Gallery, The Hugh Lane, with its 7,500 items carefully relocated to highlight the workings of Bacon's creative juices.
Among the several score of items on show at Brussels' BOZAR fine arts museum are four of seven unfinished oils found in his studio as well as photographs by wildlife artist Peter Beard and the pioneering 19th-century photographic work on human motion by Eadweard Muybridge.
"Michelangelo and Muybridge are mixed up in my mind together," Bacon once said, "so I perhaps could learn about positions from Muybridge and learn about the ampleness, the grandeur of form from Michelangelo."
The contents from his studio are part of a show that includes works from 20 Irish artists from the Dublin museum, as well as the Irish Museum for Modern Art.
Curators said the diversity of the works from Ireland underscored that "nationality is less a matter of geography than ever before."
"Changing States: Contemporary Irish Art and Francis Bacon's Studio" is up at Brussels' BOZAR fine arts museum until May 19. For more information see www.bozar.be.

What does it mean to fight the system and why is it important not to go along all the time?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The phrase "fight the system" means to try to go against the way things are normally done in some institution, like a school or a workplace (or even a whole society). So, in this case, Jerry is fighting the system. He is not going to do what the people with the power tell him to do.
The reason that most people would say it is important to do this is because the system is not always right. If you just go along with what everyone else does, or with what you are told to do, you sort of risk losing your conscience. You risk getting to the point where you are not your own person -- you are just someone who does what they are told, no matter what.

An Apalachicola health care provider has been charged with aggravated assault after law enforcement officials say he drew a shotgun Thursday on a motorcyclist crossing his property.
According to the sheriff's office's probable cause affidavit, Sgt. Ronald Jones arrived at 300 Smith Road in Apalachicola about 6:30 p.m. to find Charles "Tom" Brocato walking towards his residence carrying a shotgun. Jones reported that "in the middle of the roadway, a motorcycle lying on its side with no one around it."
Jones said Brocato put the shotgun under a shed on his property, and then told the officer that he had just been in an altercation with a motorcyclist, Joel Rapack, who he said had trespassed on his property.
Jones took custody of the shotgun, and then Brocato, who has a popular physical therapy business in Apalachicola, reviewed with him the configuration of his property, which he said includes a paved access road. "Recently there has been a dispute involving Mr. Brocato and Kristen Anderson over the road as to where the easement is located, but nothing has been settled in court," Jones wrote.
Brocato said he was marking off his easement when Eric Springer drove down the road "and tried to run him over." The two exchanged words, and Brocato said he told Springer "not to drive down his road again."
Brocato said he went inside and retrieved his shotgun and ammunition, loaded the gun, and propped it beside his boat.
Jones wrote in his report that at that time, Joel Rapack was driving down Smith Road in a motorcycle headed to Anderson's residence. In a sworn statement, Rapack said that as he approached Brocato's residence, Brocato "stepped in front of Joel's motorcycle, pointed the shotgun at Joel, and demanded him to stop."
Rapack said he stopped in fear of his life, and a verbal argument ensured over use of the road.
"Mr. Brocato then walked to the side of the motorcycle and grabbed Joel by his shirt and left chest, pushed him, and knocked him and the motorcycle to the ground. Mr. Brocato told Joel to stay put that he called law enforcement.
"Joel got up and ran to Ms. Anderson's house to call the sheriff's office and make sure an officer was coming because he was afraid Mr. Brocato was going to hurt him and he wanted to press charges," Jones wrote.
Brocato was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and battery, and taken to the Franklin County Jail.

and M&A Tax practices. "The carried interest proposalappears to focus the legislation in a manner more targetedat investment funds and may continue to have significant taximplications. The alternative investment industry will likely beactively participating in the debate and discussions aroundthis proposal."
By John Alarcon and Jack Musgrove | November 10, 2010
The recent recession touched all departments within companies, and information technology was not immune.
While many IT departments endured drastic spending cuts,
2010 is expected to end as a rebound year for IT. According
to Gartner Inc., an IT research firm, worldwide enterprise
IT spending dropped 6. 9 percent in 2009. The computing
hardware sector was the most affected, with a drop of 16. 5
percent. In 2010, IT spending is expected to bounce back
with a projected growth rate of 3. 9 percent over 2009.
Despite the projected rebound of IT spending, the time has
come for finance and IT professionals to work more closely
The two disciplines can improve decision-making by building
better business cases and by measuring and demonstrating
business results derived from IT spending. The emphasis
should be on increasing the value derived from IT and
establishing processes to measure it.
The value of IT, in the corporate sense, is achieving business
benefits through the effective execution of IT management.
Business benefits could range from improving company
profitability to creating a competitive advantage. Companies
that can derive the most value from their IT infrastructure are
more profitable and grow faster than their competitors.

U.S. corporate treasurers held larger cash balances at year-end 2012 than they did for the previous quarter or the previous year, according to the most recent AFP Corporate Cash Indicators™ (AFP CCI), a quarterly study released today that measures recent and anticipated changes in U.S. corporate cash balances.
The study, underwritten by State Street Global Advisors, showed that quarter-to-quarter, 37 percent of reporting organizations had greater cash balances at the end of 4Q12 than they had at the end of 3Q12. Meanwhile, 32 percent had cut cash reserves.
Year-over-year, 47 percent held greater balances at the end of 4Q12 than they had at the end of the 4Q11, while 27 percent held smaller cash balances.
Looking forward, companies anticipate shedding cash in the first quarter of 2013, with 28 percent expecting to reduce cash balances vs. 23 percent expecting to increase cash balances. The forward-looking indicator is negative for only the second time in the history of the survey.
Asked what impact, if any, the recent fiscal cliff agreement would have on their organization's decision to deploy cash to fund growth-oriented investments, a full 91 percent of finance professionals responding to the survey said there would be no significant impact.
Meanwhile, companies reported that their investment selection for cash and short-term investments had become neither more aggressive nor more conservative. In an environment where yield on short-term investments has become virtually non-existent, unlimited FDIC insurance for commercial bank accounts has expired, and the future regulatory environment for money market mutual funds remains uncertain, some finance pros commented that they were now focusing exclusively on U.S. Treasury money market funds and overnight deposits. Others told AFP they were moving unneeded cash to longer-term reserves or moving international cash "further out on the curve."
"Interestingly, a number of finance pros have told us they have recently tapped their excess cash to fund acquisitions," said Jim Kaitz, AFP's president and CEO. "More often, we hear they are accessing their cash to pay down debt, repurchase shares or issue dividends."

The AFP CCI™ provides treasury and finance professionals, policymakers and market analysts with timely data on a determinant of economic activity: corporate cash. The AFP CCI™ is created and maintained by the Association for Financial Professionals (AFP), a professional society that serves corporate finance departments globally.
Methodology: On the opening days of each quarter, AFP asks select members whether their short-term holdings increased or decreased in the past year and past quarter; whether investment selections for those holdings changed in the last quarter; and whether they expect cash holdings to increase or decrease in the coming quarter. For consistency, AFP asks the same questions each quarter. AFP members have agreed to participate in this ongoing study on a long-term basis. AFP began collecting quarterly data in January 2011 and has now collected eight data sets. For more information. See www.afponline.org/CCI. The next set is slated to be published April 29, 2013.

Last January, Kevin Noreen underwent surgery to have a cyst removed from his right knee. Four months later, the Big East Conference approved his hardship waiver request, giving him four seasons of eligibility remaining with the Mountaineers.
The Minneapolis resident considers the seven games he played in 2011 just like a mulligan off the No. 1 tee.
"I was able to play for two months and then I was able to see from the sidelines in practice and learn some more things," he said before last Sunday's practice at the Rec Center. "I was able to watch a lot of film and I had the best seat in the house for the games. It was a good time for me to learn."
Noreen scored a season-high 7 points and added five rebounds in the VMI win, and averaged 2.6 points and 1.7 rebounds per game before being sidelined.
Coming out of high school Noreen first opted for Boston College, but when Al Skinner was not retained, he chose to re-open his recruitment and ended up signing with West Virginia.
A former Minnesota Mr. Basketball, Noreen was a prolific high school scorer who averaged 38.6 points per game as a senior and finished his career as the state's all-time leading scorer with 4,086 points. Aside from his ability to put the ball in the basket, the coaching staff really likes his basketball IQ and his willingness to mix it up inside.
Now totally healed and ready to go, the 6-foot-10-inch Noreen wants to become another inside scoring threat for the Mountaineers alongside senior Kevin Jones and junior Deniz Kilicli.
"I have been doing a lot of spot shooting because I know KJ and the Turk are going to draw a lot of double teams this year, so I need to be there to knock that shot down for them," Noreen said.
Noreen says this year's team is completely different than last season's with a large recruiting class injecting more athleticism on the floor now.
"Coach (Huggins) has already been telling us he's tired of scoring only 60 points per game. He wants to move it this year. He wants to do some different things to get some more points on the board," Noreen said. "Even in our first practice we were doing some different things to try and do that."
Noreen isn't concerned about the new style of play his year because he believes all styles fit his game.
"I think because of my basketball IQ I can fit into any style," he said.
It also helps that Noreen is one of just four returning players who knows the West Virginia system. Last year, it was Noreen who was the only one lost at the beginning of practice.
"It was weird at practice (Saturday) because I was one of the four guys here from last year where I was a deer in headlights for the first few months of practice, but I will show them what I know," he said. "It's a learning experience, but that's what these kinds of practices are for."
Noreen said he will practice without a knee brace this summer and will continue to do so as long as his knee feels good.
"I don't want the knee brace just because I don't want to use it as an excuse," he said. "I don't think I need it. Maybe if I need it I will use it but for now I feel good.
"It's kind of like ankle braces, the same type of thing, it's just a crutch and I don't want to have that or that burden," Noreen added. "I'm ready to go; I'm a hundred percent."

The Alternative Investment Management Association
Alternative Investment Management Association Representing the global hedge fund industry
Blake Dawson
The adequacy of the regulation of short selling in Australia and around the world has prompted much discussion and commentary in the past few months. Recently, emergency measures have been imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States and by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the United Kingdom. Even though many would say that the regulatory approach under Australian law and market rules is uniquely onerous and prohibitive, in a case before the Federal Court of Australia earlier this year, Mr. Justice Finkelstein noted that overall the current level of regulation of securities lending and short selling in Australia is relatively light when compared to some other jurisdictions. The Australian Government is now expected to accelerate its review of the legal and regulatory environment in relation to short selling.
Whilst the detail of the changes to be made in Australia are not as yet clear, it is likely that a revised regulatory framework will increase disclosure requirements, implementation costs and reporting obligations, with a view to increasing transparency and price discovery in the market. When developing legislative and regulatory reform, it is critically important to strike the correct balance between the protection of investors and the market on the one hand, against the principles of an efficient market and the ability of market participants legitimately to be able to manage risk and hedge their investment positions.
Short selling in Australia
The general principle is that short selling is prohibited, unless certain statutory conditions are met. Closer scrutiny of the finer detail of the relevant legislation and market rules, however, reveals that a significant amount of trading which might otherwise be regarded as short selling is not regulated as short selling at all. The reality is that the legal definition of short selling under Australian law, coupled with the standard securities lending documentation and market practice, leads most market participants to conclude that covered sales are not regulated as short sales. In other words it is only naked short selling which is prohibited and, where an exemption applies, only naked short sales are subject to regulation by way of disclosure.
Short selling in Australia is regulated by the Corporations Act and, in the case of securities traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), the market rules of ASX. A sale is only classified as a short sale where the seller does not have a "presently exercisable and unconditional right to vest the products" in the buyer. Under an Australian Securities Lending Agreement, pursuant to which stock is borrowed in connection with taking a short position, there is an outright transfer of that stock from the lender to the borrower who proposes to sell the stock short. It is common in the Australian market for the seller to assume that the Australian Securities Lending Agreement gives it a "presently exercisable and unconditional right" to vest the products in the buyer, so that there is no short sale for the purposes of Australian law.
It follows that where a person sells stock, if they have entered into an Australia Securities Lending Agreement before entering into the sale, then under Australian law there is no obligation to treat the sale as a short sale, and therefore no obligation to comply with the uptick rule or any of the other statutory requirements; no requirement to inform the broker that the sale is a short sale and no obligation on the broker to include the sale in disclosing its net short sales position to the ASX. Covered sales appear to fall under the regulatory radar.
Where an arrangement does fall within the legal definition of a short sale, it is prohibited unless certain exemptions apply. There are various exemptions which may be available, each with a number of conditions attached, the purpose of which is to recognise the validity of short selling but to attempt to create a legislative environment which minimises the risk of short sales being used as a tool for market abuse. For example, a short sale may be permitted where:
• Arrangements are made before the time of sale that will enable the delivery of the products on a T+3 basis:
• The uptick rule is satisfied (i.e., the price cannot be below the price at which the immediately preceding ordinary sale was effected):
• ASX includes the products on its list of "approved short sale products" and the requirements under the ASX rules for short sales of those products are followed.
When a permitted short sale is entered into, the ASX market rules create a disclosure regime in relation to short selling activities. The ASX market rules require brokers to disclose their net short sale positions on a daily basis. In turn, clients are required under the Corporations Act to inform brokers when a sale order is a short sale. In this way, ASX is kept informed.
Bear in mind that many take the view that these requirements do not apply to covered sale positions – that is because they are not short sales at all.
Further, in the Federal Court decision in Beconwood Securities Pty Ltd v Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited in May this year, Mr Justice Finkelstein's recognised that,
"in other jurisdictions there is a regulatory and statutory framework that provides a measure of protection to investors that is lacking in Australia".
The short selling regulatory framework in the United States was specifically identified by Justice Finkelstein. Short selling is regulated in the United States under the Securities Exchange Act 1934 and captures both covered and naked short selling. Further, the United States Securities Investor Protection Act 1970 (SIPA) established the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, which is responsible for the protection of individual investors from financial hardship arising from the insolvency of registered brokers and dealers (most SEC registered brokers and dealers are now members of SIPA). SIPA is supervised by the United States SEC and it facilitates the return of customer property held by insolvent brokers and dealers and reimburses customers for cash and securities mishandled or misappropriated by the brokerage firm or its agents.
Whilst the approach taken in the United States clearly goes further, in some respects, than that which is taken in Australia or the United Kingdom, it is clear that the industry there still faces many of the same issues which affect the industry in Australia and other jurisdictions, especially when the price of shares in a company begin a dramatic collapse. This was made very clear in July this year when the SEC considered itself forced to step in and impose a 30 day ban on naked short sale of securities of nineteen major financial firms when the price of shares in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac began to tumble.
Similarly, in the United Kingdom, the FSA recently considered the introduction of a new disclosure regime in relation to short selling of shares in companies undertaking a rights issue so urgent, that it did so at very short notice and without the standard prior consultation with the industry. The FSA acted so urgently because it perceived the potential for market abuse to be so great as to demand immediate implementation of the new disclosure regime, in the interests of protecting consumers, without the delay which would result if the usual consultation process were followed.
In most cases, the use of short selling is a legitimate risk management and hedging tool, and it is used very widely on a day to day basis in the UK, the US and Australia. It also plays an integral and important part in the economic theory of market efficiency. On the flip side, the private sector must accept that there is the potential for short selling to be used to abuse markets, even outside the classic short and distort tactics employed by the unscrupulous. Short selling, for example, has recently been implicated in the decline in value of shares in a number of high profile companies.
There are many aspects of the existing short selling regulatory environment in Australia which are robust and effective. There are also some aspects which could stand review and reform. It seems clear, however, that there is no simple solution and no model in perfect working order in any other jurisdiction, which can simply be adopted by Australia and other jurisdictions around the world.
The Australian Government has publicly acknowledged its intention to consider legislative change in relation to securities lending and short selling in Australia, and importantly has acknowledged that it is in consultation with certain key agencies in undertaking this process. In any legislative review of this nature, it is crucial to engage properly with the private sector so as to ensure that regulatory change and relevant guidance is well balanced, appropriate, clear and workable.
It is likely that any reform will include changes to disclosure and reporting requirements in respect of short selling activity. Any such changes are likely to be based on a desire to increase transparency, to facilitate price discovery and to limit potential mechanisms for abuse. Some participants in the Australian markets will support greater transparency in this area. Others will argue that increased disclosure and reporting of short selling and covered selling activity will not assist price discovery, because it is just one component of the market and over the counter activity. It will impose cost and technical burdens on the industry. No doubt the process may also include an examination of short selling regulation in other major jurisdictions and some thought will be given to the extent to which a global approach to the harmonisation of regulation is practical or desirable.
Whenever Governments have cause to consider regulatory change, one of the key issues that they face is to ensure that the increased costs and burden of compliance under the new regime are justified by the benefits achieved. Whilst the Australian Government's current proposals or thinking have not yet been disclosed, the hope is that the private sector and the Government will work together to ensure any regulatory change is effective and consistent with complementary legislation and will go towards legitimising the practice of short selling in Australia.Back to Listing

I heard a radio presenter the other morning, talking to a caller.
He asked the caller what sort of music he liked.
The caller said he had everything by the Beatles.
The presenter said "Me too, I love their stuff."
The presenter had a young female sidekick.
She said "Yeah, but you've got it all on CD."
The presenter said "Don't you listen to the Beatles then?"
She said "Of course I do, but I've got it downloaded, you're just old fashioned."
The caller said "Well I don't know what you'll think of me then. All mine is on vinyl."
They both gasped "Vinyl?"
The caller said "Yes, I prefer the sound on vinyl, it's more authentic."

KILLING OF MARQUELL MCCOLLOUGH IS RULED JUSTIFIED HOMICIDE-Andrew Stelzer
The police killing of 18-year-old Marquell Mccollough in St Petersburg was one of the factors which contributed to a march turned violent in South St Pete two weeks ago. A state attorneys investigation into the actions of the sheriffââ¬â¢s department officers who killed McCullough have found that it was justifiable homicide. One of the more controversial aspects of the incident was that of the two sheriffs cars, which are required by law to have videotape rolling, one had a malfunctioning video cameras, and the other one ran out of videotape. Officers Antolini and Syers fired 15 shots into McCulloughââ¬â¢s pickup truck. At a press conference in reaction to WMNF spoke with Marquell McCulloughââ¬â¢s mother about her reaction to the state attorneys investigation.
Chimurenga Waller is a member of the UHURU movement, the UHURUââ¬â¢s have been supporting the family of Marquell McCollough, calling for police chief Chuck Harmon to resign, and for ex-police chief Goliath Davis to be reinstated.
WMNF asked Ms Mccollough about her involvement with the UHURUs.
A written report of the state attorneys investigation has not yet been released to the public.comments powered by Disqus

THE textbook version of how humans evolved in Africa and then travelled out to the rest of the world may have to be torn up. Humans may not after all have had to become highly intelligent, with big brains, to migrate out of Africa.
A surprising new fossil discovery of a small, lightly built species of early human in Central Asia suggests that it wasn't only large-brained hominids that had the guile to leave Africa. The individual, found in Dmanisi, Georgia, has a much smaller skull than two others found earlier at the same site.
The skeleton, comprising a skull and jawbone, also combines features found in a number of early human species. This further erodes the textbook view that human evolution was a linear progression from Australopithecines through
