Senate Finance Committee Hearing
Testimony on Local Governments/Taxpayers in Texas
By Peggy Venable, Texas Director, Americans for Prosperity Foundation
September 25, 2012
Click here to download Peggy Venable's full testimony with attachments.
Local government debt totals over $322 billion in Texas; We are mortgaging our children's future
While the nation's eyes are focused on the federal debt clock rolling over $16 trillion, local governments are accumulating debt too.
Few people are following local government debt nationwide which at the end of 2012 is expected to be $1.713 trillion…which is the principal only, not counting interest. (http://www.usgovernmentdebt.us/)
In Texas, local governments are $192,740,000,000 in debt, and a whopping $322,331,957,000 when interest is added. (See attachment #1)
We are leaving our children and grandchildren a legacy of debt. That is not the legacy most of us want to leave future generations.
Americans for Prosperity activists are concerned about the growth in government, particularly local government spending and debt in Texas. I have traveled the state educating citizens on the importance of economic freedom and the alarming drop in the US economic freedom rankings. The U.S. has fallen from #3 in 2000, to #10 in 2009, and as of the latest report from the Fraser Institute issued just this month, the US has dropped to # 18.
One of the key measures of economic freedom is the size of government (other factors are regulation, sound money practices, rule of law and free trade).
When looking at state competitiveness and the state rankings (done by ALEC in the publication Rich State, Poor State), Texas performance ranking is rated #2 in the country and # 16 in economic outlook. (http://www.alec.org/docs/RSPS_5th_Edition.pdf) (See attachments #2, 3 & 4)
One might ask why Texas – the top state for job creation and the #1 state for business relocation – is not rated #1. One factor which is hurting Texas is local government debt. Texas' debt service as a share of tax revenue is 11.5%, ranking us #45 in the country. That is the lowest ranking Texas received on any of the variables. And we are headed in the wrong direction. (See attachment #5)
Local debt is much greater than state debt in the Lone Star State as we see in the graph below:
In the Lone Star State, debt per capita has increased by 72.2 percent ($3,148) since 2002; the state's population has increased by 17.9 percent (3.9 million) over the past 10 years.
There are 4,017 property tax entities in Texas. The Texas population has grown by more than 40 percent since 1992. In contrast, local property tax levies jumped by 188 percent between calendar years 1992 and 2010, to $40.28 billion.
There are 1,470 sales tax entities in Texas. Whereas the number of Texas cities, counties and transit authorities that levy sales tax has not increased much in the past two decades. In contrast, special purpose districts that levy sales tax have increased by more than 1,900 percent since 1993. Special purpose districts have accounted for 67 percent of the growth in local entities levying sales tax since 1993, comprising 6 percent of these entities in 2002 and 13.1 percent in 2011.
Local Government Debt Outstanding
As of fiscal-year end 2011 Texas local governments had $192.74 billion in outstanding debt, an increase of $51.35 billion (36.3%) since fiscal 2007. Of that amount 60.7 percent ($116.92 billion) is GO debt to be repaid from local tax collections while the remaining 39.3 percent ($75.82 billion) will be repaid from revenues generated by various projects such as water, sewer and electric utility fees. Since fiscal 2007, tax-supported debt outstanding increased 34.6 percent ($30.05 billion) and revenue debt outstanding increased 39.1 percent ($21.31 billion).
According to the Texas Bond Review Board (BRB), rating agencies consider an overall debt per capita for counties less than $600 to be low and over $1,800 as high; however, many other factors are involved in assessing credit risk, such as population, taxpayer concentration and various economic, administrative and financial factors. Texas has 34 counties with a tax debt per capita greater than $600. (see attachment #6)
School Districts
According to the BRB, over the past five fiscal years debt outstanding for the 20 largest school districts with debt outstanding grew by an average of 47.2 percent, and daily ADA grew by an average of 12.2 percent. Over that time the ADA for all school districts increased 6.2 percent (Figure 3.4). Debt outstanding for Dallas ISD and San Antonio ISD continued to increase despite average daily attendance (ADA) decreases due to population shifts to the suburbs.
According to the BRB, ten Texas Cities utilize general obligation (GO) and/or revenue CP programs to provide interim financing for infrastructure improvements, additions and extensions. As of August 31, 2011, eight Cities had $1.20 billion in CP outstanding (See attachment #7)
Certificates of Obligation
According to the BRB, during fiscal 2011 local governments issued $1.56 billion in Certificates of Obligation (CO) or approximately 6.3 percent of the total debt issued (Table 1.6). Debt service for COs is paid from ad-valorem taxes and/or revenues and do not require an election unless a valid petition requesting an election is presented.
COs are authorized by the Certificate of Obligation Act of 1971, Subchapter C of Chapter 271 of the Texas Local Government Code and are issued to pay for the construction of a public work; purchase of materials, supplies, equipment, machinery, buildings, land, and rights-of-way; and to pay for professional services such as engineers, architects, attorneys and financial advisors. (see attachment #8)
What is driving local government debt? Here is my opinion – after having studied this issue for a number of years:
- First, local officials can count on having left office, often moving to greener pastures in state or federal offices, before the bill comes due. There is little accountability as local governments can buy now and taxpayers pay later;
- Second, much of the local debt is taxpayer-approved. Taxpayers have a propensity to approve bond initiatives, which are often described by local officials as being necessary. School district bond initiatives are often touted as being "for the children"; and
- Third, most taxpayers are unaware of how much debt local taxing entities are carrying.
It may be a municipal swimming pool, a state-of-the-art stadium, or a Taj Mahal school facility in their community. The trick is in the salesmanship. Local governments often claim the cost to be just a few pennies here, a few dollars there.
Texas taxpayers have bought over $322 billion in local debt in increments, having been told it's just "one bag of M&M's a day" or "a cup of Starbuck's coffee a week."
Those pennies add up to dollars, and we've built ourselves a monster of a debt, one dollar at a time. Local debt does not include the public pension unfunded liabilities, which are in the billions in Texas, nor does it include the other post-employment benefits promised government employees which includes health coverage. (See attachment #9)
Texas' local debt totals are headed in the wrong direction. Taxpayers would likely be surprised to learn that Texas ranked third among the most populous states in per-capital local government in 2008 before taking our dubious second place standing.
In the final analysis, it is our children who are being left holding the bag. Government-debt is a burden on future taxpayers. So children in grade school will graduate with part of that tax burden on their shoulders. It diminishes their opportunity to pursue the American Dream.
According to the Texas Bond Review Board, Texas ranks only behind California in local debt and only behind New York in per capita local government debt.
The trend is troubling, as today's debt becomes tomorrow's tax burden, a burden our children and grandchildren will inherit.
- Include current debt plus interest in all material regarding proposed bond initiatives.
- Estimated interest should also be calculated and provided in all of the bond material
- Require a threshold of voter participation for bond initiative elections.
- Businesses and individuals who provide financial support to pro-bond initiative committees and campaigns should not be allowed to bid on the project should the bond package pass.
- All bond elections should be on uniform election dates.
- ISD's should not be allowed to open polling places for PTA meetings, football games or school functions.
- Bond money should not be used for purposes other than those stated in the bond election in which voters approved the bond.
This is a local control issue and the local control needs to be put back in the hands of the citizens and the taxpayers. Armed with more information, voters can make better informed decisions.

Tradition Meets Contemporary in This Custom Milled Log Home
For some people, their image of the traditional log home is that of a rustic cabin with simple amenities and a lodge-like feel. However, today's modern log home can easily blend the traditions and character we all associate with homes made of log, with the appeal and functionality of contemporary homes. The Bolducs chose to blend these styles into their vacation home, located on 10 acres of beautiful land in Maine.
Inspired by: The Tradition of Log Homes
Wood homes of all kinds have a special history in Maine, log homes in particular. This kinship is evident when you consider the similarities between the people of Maine and the durability of log homes. Both have weathered many storms and hardships, only to stand stronger and more beautiful than before.
When the Bolducs purchased their property, they knew they wanted a home that would match the grandeur of their site. It was the unique charm and instant recognition of a log home that the Bolducs decided would be perfect for their vacation getaway.
But it was not enough just to build a log home. The Bolducs wanted their home to truly fit with their surroundings, so they chose to have their cedar logs appear natural and weathered, instead of stained a uniform color. This type of treatment is common for many homeowners in the state of Maine, as you can easily see when you drive through the countryside.
Inspired by: Contemporary Living
Even though their home uses a style of architecture that is generally considered rustic, the Bolduc's log home has a remarkably contemporary feel.
The majority of their decorations use rich colors, modern fabrics and contemporary lines. The great room itself brilliantly combines modern living with a rustic backdrop. You can not help but notice the large log trusses directly overhead or the massive stone fireplace reaching up to the ceiling, but by choosing sleek leather furniture, a metal chandelier and contemporary artwork, the room feels bright and open.
One of the most contemporary locations in the home is the amazing kitchen. Using a combination of vibrant teal cabinets an eggplant stove with stone accents and granite countertops, the room is an exciting space to cook and hang out. However, the shape of the stone hearth, the use of antique looking stools and copper plumbing fixtures help to blend this remarkable space within their traditional log home.
The Bolducs were able to combine these two styles further by incorporating accents that used natural elements. Examples include the kitchen table and chandelier made from twisted wood and a mirror in the powder room lined with river stones.
See how the home came together, by taking a photographic tour below:

The energy gap
The closure of old power stations, the decline of indigenous reserves of North Sea gas and the need to combat climate change mean that the UK faces a potential energy gap. If new generating plants are not built electricity supply could fall short of demand from the 2010s onwards.
Energy efficiency measures can help to reduce demand. But at the same time it is expected demand will increase as electricity is increasingly used for transport and heating, so new power stations have to be built.
Building new generating capacity
Power stations take a long time to plan and build, and some can last for 60 years or more. Therefore any decisions made today have long-term implications. So it's important to choose the energy sources used to generate electricity carefully.
However, no single fuel currently available offers a complete solution to the energy gap. Some contribute to climate change, others are expensive or face constraints on the number of power stations the UK can build, others make the UK more dependent on imports, or generate electricity intermittently, while some are simply finite resources which are running out. But used together – in an energy mix – the different energy sources can compensate for each other's limitations.
The energy mix
No one fuel source provides all the answers. But the challenge of the energy gap is by no means insurmountable. Used together, different generating technologies have individual strengths that help to make up for each other's weaknesses.
Quantity Overview
The world is dependent on fossil fuels for energy, but they emit carbon dioxide which accelerates climate change and will run out one day. The challenge then, is to generate energy from affordable low-carbon sources.
Security Overview
Importing fuel for generating electricity can be bad news for security of supply: increasing demand drives up prices and political instability can threaten supplies.
Reliability Overview
To be reliable energy sources need to be able to meet constant demand and be scaled up quickly to meet peaks. Not all energy sources can do both and still be affordable and low-carbon, so a diverse mix is required.
Affordability Overview
For some energy sources, the cost of the fuel is the biggest challenge. For others the challenge is the cost of building power stations to convert it into electricity, but that can fall as more are built.
Impacts on Climate Change Overview
Established and reliable fossil fuels drive climate change with their carbon emissions; low-carbon renewable sources and nuclear have yet to be scaled up to replace them.

Famed groundhog Punxsutawney Phil might want to go back into hibernation.
Authorities in still-frigid Ohio have issued an "indictment" of the furry rodent, who predicted an early spring when he didn't see his shadow after emerging from his western Pennsylvania lair on Feb. 2.
"Punxsutawney Phil did purposely, and with prior calculation and design, cause the people to believe that spring would come early," Mike Gmoser, the prosecutor in southwestern Ohio's Butler County, wrote in an official-looking indictment. ...

Taking a look at New York's eco fashion week
While most of the media buzz this week has surrounded the new Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week hub Lincoln Center, a smaller set of shows took place at the Metropolitan Pavilion on 18th Street from Sept. 12 to 14: The GreenShows. For its third season, The GreenShows Eco Fashion Week featured the spring 2011 collections of ten sustainable designers. We were thrilled to hear that the eco-fashion movement has grown so much in popularity, but we were even more excited when we finally got a look at the gorgeous pieces produced by the featured designers. After this season, we think all misconceptions of sustainable style (i.e. tree huggers running around wearing recycled potato sacks) have been banished. Have a look for yourself:

NaturalNano, Inc., a materials science company, today announced the successful formulation and testing of adhesives and protective coatings using high loadings of halloysite nanotubes (HNTTM) in a variety of polymers. At HNT concentrations as high as 20%, the adhesive showed a storage modulus (a measure of the amount of strength, or stiffness, of the layer) that was ten times higher than that of the polymer alone. This was achieved with minimal loss in adhesive tack. The polymer coatings were transparent at all HNT concentrations. Significantly, the HNT dispersion was stable at these loadings in all polymers tested.
Pleximer, which NaturalNano plans to offer commercially in fourth quarter 2007, is a turn-key nanocomposite additive enabling stronger, lighter, and less expensive materials for the multi-billion dollar polymer composite industry.
"These exciting results show the versatility of halloysite nanotubes as additives in a wide variety of polymer products," stated Cathy Fleischer, PhD, President and CTO of NaturalNano. "This will enable us to extend our Pleximer technology to a broader market including the adhesives and coatings industries." Adhesives and coatings are used in a wide range of markets, including electronics, consumer products, paints, automotive, and aerospace.
The Company filed applications for two patents covering HNT coating compositions and processes, citing claims for applications involving adhesives and functional coatings. Pleximer coatings can be formulated to provide layers with improved abrasion resistance and strength. In addition, unique functionality can be obtained through filling the halloysite nanotubes with materials to provide lubricity, antimicrobial, flame retardance, or other properties of interest.
"Strengthening our intellectual property position has been a long term goal," Dr. Fleischer said. "These patents will help to protect our technological advantages over competitors."

One of the reasons I was so deeply attracted to Religio Romana was the attention that is given to the Dead and the Ancestors. In February, the end of the traditional Roman religious year, the month is spent paying our dues to those powers higher than us that perhaps we've neglected either knowingly or unknowingly. This shows up with the observation of the Parentalia and the Feralia within it, both to recognize the Lares, the God/Spirits of our more spiritually-developed Ancestors and Heroes, and the Manes, the Spirits of our Beloved Dead and, in my personal tradition, the Spirits of the Unclaimed Dead.
The month of May, a month of purification and possibly named after the Maiores (Ancestors), also has an ancient festival in it focusing on the Dead. But this time it is not for the Manes, the "good" Dead, those who had been given proper rites in burial and were offered cultus by their families, but the Lemures, the angry, restless Dead.

Kwasi Enin Got Into Every Single Ivy League University
How did he do it? Obviously, the kid's a total brain. He scored 2250 out of 2400 on the SATs. So, there's that. But, we can't help but think it may also have something to do with Enin's lack of a social media presence. There's not a public Facebook or Instagram account to be found. Which means more time for studying and less time for goofing off, scrolling through an endless feed of updates.
We should also note, he applied — and was accepted — to Duke and three SUNYs. Kind of puts the idea of a safety school into perspective, huh? (NBC New York)

Given the opposition expressed both by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to the concept of voter identification laws, it was rather amusing when Obama himself was asked for identification by the poll worker when he went to his home polling place in Chicago to cast his ballot during the early voting period on Thursday.
Obama dutifully complied with the law in his home state of Illinois and cheerfully produced his photo ID driver's license - even joking with the poll worker in the process. "I'm just glad I renewed my driver's license," Obama said.
Despite President Obama's ...

Amazon's Bigger Kindle
The Kindle DX may be better suited to reading textbooks and newspapers, but is it just too big?
Today, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled the Kindle DX, a larger version of the company's flagship e-reader, with dimensions better suited to reading textbooks, newspapers, and PDF documents.
The Kindle DX was launched on the campus of Pace University, in New York City, just three months after Amazon announced the Kindle 2–an improved version of the original device. While experts agree that the Kindle DX, which comes with a 25-centimeter screen, is well designed and promising, some still question how successfully it will replace paper and ink.
To coincide with the launch of the Kindle DX, Amazon announced partnerships with several universities and newspapers. The newspapers involved are no doubt hoping to see electronic readers help revive their business models, which have been weakened by falling circulation figures, lower online advertising rates, and increased competition from the Web. The New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe will start pilot marketing programs in the summer, offering readers a cheaper device for a subscription commitment.
At the event, Arthur Sulzberger, chairman of the New York Times, said that the Kindle DX now provides an e-reader experience that is as satisfying as that of reading print. But Sulzberger said that the New York Times and the Boston Globe would only offer reduced subscription rates for DX readers in areas where home delivery is not available.
Six higher-learning institutions will also start Kindle pilot programs this fall: Arizona State University, Case Western University, Pace University, Princeton University, Reed College, and the University of Virginia. Barbara Snyder, president of Case Western, says that her university plans to select a group of 40 students to use the Kindle DX and will compare their performance with that of students in the same classes who don't use the Kindle. "If it helps learning, we're certainly interested in going forward," Snyder says.
At today's launch event, Bezos said that Amazon's newest Kindle is meant to maintain the momentum built up by the previous two devices. For titles that come in Kindle format, he said that Kindle sales now make up 35 percent of Amazon's total for each–up from 13 percent in February, when the Kindle 2 was announced.

This isssue may have several aspects so please read through first.
Suppose that you have a stuct with a few small ints that pack well into Int64 and while you want to use your struct as a type in C# you want it to be exposed as In64 via web methods - so that WSDL has it and you retain basic REST ability (simple types make GET invocation possible).
The closest to that I've found so far is SqlDateTime - it auto-morphs into dateTime in WSDL (there's an attrib that seems to govern XSD/WSDL type equivalence plus IXmlSerializable) but that's not enough. The web method still gets recognized as "having complex params" and therefore is rendered unavailable to GET requests.
Update: XSD/WSDL and SOAP invocation respected type equivalency perfectly fine - the problem is with GET invocation - the RESTful URL path doesn't get generated at all.
Looking for info on possible additional attribs, interfaces, hook-up points, of if someone stumbled upon a struct or internal class that managed to do full type equivalence with any "primitive", scalar type (DayTime is not exactly primitive but still gets such treatment). Also if soemone knows a way to establish stronger type equivalence or add/mark a struct to be treated as a simple (scalar) value type - even better.
Please don't post just to say something nasty or preach private ideology. This is serious, gray-zone question for people who know their way in Reflector and read the code. If you think you can ideologize this you don't even have the clue about the issue. If however you can point to actual code that causes/makes the decison about what will be servable via GET request please post even if by doing that you prove the impossibility of extending type equivalence to GET requests.
Oh and CLR is 2.x/3.x.
Thanks to those who help and to those who don't disrupt.

At 3 years old, Carey and family moved to Germany, where her father, Stephen Mulligan, managed the European branch of luxury hotels. In Germany Carey and her brother, Owen Mulligan, attended the International School of Dusseldorf, where her passion for acting was ignited. At the age of 6, Carey started to participate in school plays. Mainly portraying male characters, that appealed to her tomboy nature. Carey spent her teenage years, in the independent boarding school, Woldingham School, England, where she further indulged her passion for acting. She became the student head of the drama department and participated in several school productions. Carey pursued an acting career with a persistent determination. Despite receiving rejections from 3 drama schools, she secretly applied for and her parent's disapproval of an acting career and expectation that she attend Reading University.

Carry continued to play supporting roles in TV films; 'My Boy Jack', 'When Did You Last See Your Father?' and 'Northanger Abbey'. She also landed reoccurring roles in TV period dramas, most notably the BAFTA winning, 'Bleak House'. Carey also dabbled in theatre, appearing in the Broadway revival of 'The Seagull' (2009). Her performance as Nina was critically acclaimed.
In 2009, at 22 years old, Carey got her chance to shine in the coming of age black comedy, 'An Education'. The title reflects a double meaning. Set in 1960s England, Carey played Jenny, an academic student, with aspirations to attain a scholarship to Oxford University, to escape her conventional parents and monotonous surroundings. She gets a different kind of education, as she embarks on a romance, with a suave businessman twice her senior.

The media hailed her as, the 'next Audrey Hepburn'. 2009 was the beginning of Carey's initiation into Hollywood, as one of its promising up and comers. Carey was cast in films with Hollywood heavy weights, such as Johnny Depp in 'Public Enemies'. Carey joined the constellation of stars, Jake Gyllenhal, Natalie Portman and Toby Maguire in the film 'Brothers'. Also collaborating with Keira Knightley in the film, 'Never let me go'. The highly anticipated, 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps', the sequel to the 1987, 'Wall street', in which Carey played Winnie, the daughter of a relentless executive father, Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), who conspires with her aspiring financial trader fiancé, (Shia LeBeouf). Set in New York, the film is based on the 2008 financial crisis. Carrey is currently working on 2 films, an indie film 'Drive' with Ryan Gosling and 'Shame' with Michael Fassbender.
Personal Life
In August 2009, Carey started dating her 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' co-star, Shia LeBeouf, after the director Oliver Stone introduced them on set. They shared a flat in Los Angles. For unknown reasons their relationship ended in October 2010. Carey has since moved back to England.
Awards Carey was nominated and won several prestigious awards for her role in 'An Education'. Including, Independent Spirit, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2009, Carey won a BAFTA for best actress in a leading role.

Late last year, I decided I wanted to try to expand on my guitar playing hobby and see if I could turn it into a little bit of a money-making venture by buying and reselling guitars and guitar gear. I was not under the illusion that I could get rich or quit my day job doing this, but scanning the local Craigslist musical instrument classifieds day after day had planted the idea in my head that it might be possible to make a few bucks here and there.
Because as it turns out, most of the people who are selling stuff on Craigslist are not very smart. They take lousy pictures with cell phone cameras, they can't manage to describe their items in any detail, they sell stuff without cleaning it first, and they don't have a very strong command of written English with all its crazy capital letters and periods. My theory was that since I take pretty good photos and can string a few words together (and let's face it, my problem is that I don't stop at a few), I might be able to buy stuff under market value and sell it at market value. And along the way, I would be able to demo all kinds of guitars and effects that I couldn't otherwise afford.
So I talked with Tracey about it, and she agreed to let me take $200 out of our budget one month to start this up. That was the most I could spend on my first buy, and it turned out to be just enough. I bought an imported Telecaster from a college student who needed to pay his parking tickets before the school would let him return to classes, and I was on my way.
That was about six or seven deals ago, and I have just about doubled my money, having a whole lot of fun along the way. There's something I enjoy about getting a guitar that's been collecting someone's bedroom dust for a year, cleaning it up, adjusting the action, and getting it ready for sale. It's sort of cathartic to take these dirty things and make them clean, and in the process increase their value by 20–30%.
I'm now at the point where I can have more than one deal going at once, which adds some flexibility to my buying patterns. And as an added bonus, I very often get lots of little accessories out of these deals. For example, that Telecaster I bought came in a nice case. I was able to put one of my own guitars in that case and still sell the Telecaster for a profit. I also get lots of cables and tuners and straps and things like that. None of these items affects a guitar's resale value in any appreciable way, so I keep them for my own use.
Here are a few tips for selling stuff on Craigslist:
1. Take a decent photo. Borrow a real camera if you don't have one. Turn the flash off and shoot the item in natural light.
2. Write complete sentences that don't make you sound like a jerk I wouldn't want to talk to. Seriously, I have no idea why this is so hard.
3. Accept email. Duh? It's the Internet. I can't believe how many people post to Craigslist specifying that they only deal by phone.
A few photos of the items I've flipped:

My younger brother has done this for several years- since we grew up in a small town, he would see the same guitar multiple times.

I find it amazing how little difference price seems to make on the intertubes. I did a commercial for one of the biggest ebay resellers in the area who told me she got into the business when her brother bought a camp stove at K-Mart for $15 and sold it on ebay for $25.

GA Senate: Handel Ad Features Palin Endorsement
Kingston gets Hannity support.
12:10 PM, Apr 11, 2014 • By MICHAEL WARREN
Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate, features heavily in a new TV ad from Georgia Senate candidate Karen Handel. "You know her background. You know her record," says Palin, who endorsed Handel two weeks ago. "The conservative who has walked the walk."
Watch the 30-second ad below:
Not to be outdone, one of Handel's Republican rivals for the nomination, congressman Jack Kingston, announced the support of Fox News host Sean Hannity.
"I have known Jack Kingston for 20 years," Hannity said in a statement provided by the Kingston campaign. "He's a solid Ronald Reagan Republican and my choice in the Georgia Senate race. Jack will join the conservative coalition in the U.S. Senate."
Kingston and Handel are vying with three other Republican candidates (congressmen Paul Broun and Phil Gingrey, and businessman David Perdue) for the GOP nomination to succeed Saxby Chambliss. The presumptive Democratic nominee is Michelle Nunn, the daughter of the former senator Sam Nunn. The primary is May 20, and if no Republican candidate receives 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters will proceed to a July 22 runoff.

HP prepares new dx, HDX laptops
updated 04:35 pm EDT, Mon September 17, 2007
HP dx, HDX laptops
Expanding beyond new entries in its dv and tx laptops, specifications have come out on two more HP systems. The HDX9100 is a successor to the current HDX9000; although it should be a desktop replacement unit, little is known other than it will likely retain the 9000's 20.1-inch size. More remarkable may be the dx6600, important for being the first in a new dx series. Limited to integrated graphics on a 15.4-inch display, its main features will come in the form of hardware abilities, such as dual-layer DVD burning with LightScribe labelling.
The 6600 will also have HDMI output, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, and a 1.3-megapixel webcam. A five-in-one memory card reader should come standard, as should an ExpressCard/34 slot, something that has typically been reserved for more expensive laptops. In terms of processors shoppers should be able to pick from a variety of AMD chips, such as a Turion64 X2 TL-58 on the 6650us variant. No prices or release dates have been mentioned.

But "The region" is coreferent to "The IRF-2 promoter region" in the forward sentence. So, "The IRF-2 promoter region" is also a Theme of "inducible".

Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew is ready for some major planning sessions with staff about the upcoming draft.
- Filed Under
With the NFL draft less than a month away, the Lions will start putting up their board this week.
First, general manager Martin Mayhew will go over the bottom of the board with the personnel and scouting departments. The coaches will join them next week, and then they will go from the top down, position by position, defense first.
"We haven't all sat together and put all of our thoughts together and come up with how we all see them as an organization, and that's one of the most important things that we have to do this off-season," Mayhew said in February at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. ...

The world's leading offshore oil rig developer, Singapore based Keppel Corp-- which has significant representation in iShares MSCI Singapore Index Fund (NYSEARCA:EWS)-- has entered into a $600 million deal with the Norway based Golar LNG (NASDAQ:GLNG) to convert up to three LNG vessels into Floating LNG (FLNG) vessels. This new and innovative FLNG vessel looks to threaten the dominance of the leading LNG producers such as Shell (NYSE:RDS.A), ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) and BP (NYSE:BP) as the enormous capital investment requirements have generally kept the smaller players at bay. Not only is Golar aiming to produce LNG at minimum capital expenditure its plant will be superior to Shell's Prelude floating LNG project. Golar's vessels that Keppel is converting can come near the shore while the fuel will be supplied through pipelines. This makes the LNG production capabilities of the platforms much more flexible. The first of such vessels, with an annual production capacity of 2 million metric tons, will be ready within three years.
More recently, on 9th November, Keppel revealed that its subsidiaries have secured further contracts totaling $130.8 million for oil and gas projects in the Philippines and Netherlands.
For the first nine months of the fiscal year 2012, Keppel recorded a 51% increase in revenues to $8.9 billion and a 47% increase in profits to $1.3 billion which translates into an EPS of $0.74. Keppel is a conglomerate and its business is divided into four segments:
1. Offshore & Marine -- rig construction, maintenance and other offshore projects
2. Property -- which manages all of Keppel's real estate holdings
3. Infrastructure -- that deals with power generation, water treatment and waste management
4. Investments.
Most of Keppel's earnings come from offshore projects.
However, the increase in net income for the quarter came from the high returns of the Property and Investments divisions while the net income of Offshore & Marine and Infrastructure fell by 11% and 19.3% respectively. Despite showing an increase in profits through the first nine months of 2012 year-over-year, income for the third quarter fell by 15% to $332 million. The drop was mainly due to the decrease in margins caused by increasing competition as the oversupply in the shipbuilding industry is attracting yard developers into offshore oil and gas.
However, despite the drop in the quarter, the business secured $5.97 billion of new contracts from Brazil, Kazakhstan and Singapore thus taking the total value of projects in pipeline to $10.7 billion for the next seven years. The figure does not include the recent deals with GLNG or the new oil and gas projects.
On the other hand, Keppel's main rival SembCorp Marine Ltd, which also has a significant representation in EWS (1.80%) and is the second largest holding of the Guggenheim Shipping ETF (NYSEARCA:SEA) (6.93%) reported an even more significant drop in quarterly revenues and profits of 31.5% and 48% to $729 million and $94.4 million respectively. Unlike Keppel, SembCorp is also engaged in offshore exploration and production activities in addition to rig building and therefore it is more exposed to oil price fluctuations. SembCorp has slightly fewer projects of $9.89 billion in its next seven year pipeline.
These results are not surprising given the slowdown in global growth and the pressure that oil prices have been under recently. Singapore's GDP has been contracting now for the past two quarters which puts it squarely in the technical definition of a recession as firms within the country struggle to maintain trade volume and price.
The drop in profits by the world's second biggest rig builder has been attributed to the same reasons as Keppel's; pressure on prices is reducing the margins but the alarming point here is that this change could be for long haul. SembCorp has reduced its long-term margins forecasts from 14%-15% to 10%-13% but Keppel hasn't given any such guidance.
Keppel Corp
Market Cap
Stock YTD
Both firms have plenty of projects in their pipelines and the long-term rise in oil prices in the coming year will have to result in more orders for offshore rigs as the search for energy moves farther off of dry land. Sembcorp is expected to record a better fourth quarter as it will realize the earnings from more projects as opposed to the recent filings which included only one jack-up rig. But with 50% global market share for jackup rigs and 33% for semi-submersible rigs coupled with an even larger number of projects in pipeline, Keppel still remains the dominant player with a stable future. Keppel is currently trading below a P/E of 8 and recent price weakness has pushed the yield up to around 4.3% and while the global economy feels like it wants to fall off a cliff there can be no denying the need to explore for more oil-- marginal demand is only going to increase as the Asian story unfolds. The situation in Singaporean real estate is likely to be unsustainable and Keppel has been steadily moving its successful property investments off to its REIT as well as looking abroad with significant properties in Sri Lanka and Perth, Australia.

FCA Visits
There are a number of reasons why the FCA will visit your firm, and when they do it can be a very intrusive and not always pleasant experience. There are also times when the FCA may show an interest in your firm and then decide a visit is not needed, which may come as a relief but can leave you out of pocket if you take the wrong advice only to find it's not required.
RWA can help any broker prepare for an FCA visit whether they are an existing client or not. If there is a short time frame to work in then we will never promise to ensure you will get an easy ride or to help you hide things from the FCA. There are many compliance firms out there who may promise to tell you the questions the FCA will ask, and charge you for the privilege, but how can you be sure the questions haven't changed?
Preparing for an FCA visit is about understanding how to articulate the way you carry out your business and if you can demonstrate to the FCA that you are not dishonest and are putting in place systems and controls to ensure you remain compliant then it won't be so painful. We will help you identify before the visit those areas where you are likely to get picked up on, giving you time to prepare and correct if possible.
This short video from our Compliance Director, Terence Clark, helps answer some of the key questions that you may have:
Already had your visit?
If you have already had your visit and want help with corrective action before the return visit then we are very happy to come in (often at short notice) and help you start putting it right.
If you would like more information then please contact us for a confidential chat with one of our Directors.

Dear Richard: Tickle Me Homo
Dear Richard,
I am madly in love with a great guy, and we have been together for over a year now. Problem? He has a wicked foot and tickling fetish. This wouldn't be too bad, except that I am super ticklish, especially on the bare feet, and that's his favorite target. I can stand it for a bit, but in no time I'm laughing wildly, and begging him to stop.
Unfortunately, that's exactly what turns him on, and he'll end up tickling me none stop for over an hour. I have to admit that being helplessly tickle-tortured does turn me on, especially as he incorporates genital tickling in his repertoire. However, it is pure torture, and I don't know what to do.
Having normal sex does not work for him, as he's only turned on when I'm laughing hysterically and begging him to stop. What should I do?
Tickled 2 Death
Dear Tickled,
Tickling has a rich and varied place in social interactions. Parents use it from infancy on their children as a boding and trust exercise. Siblings use it as part of their horseplay, often to more extreme and embarrassing conclusions.
Charles Darwin theorized on the link between tickling and social relations, arguing that tickling provokes laughter through the anticipation of pleasure. Then there is the darker side of tickling.
Heinz Heger describes this incident in his book The Men With The Pink Triangle about being a gay man in a Nazi concentration camp and witnessing the SS guards tickling another young gay man: "The first game that the SS sergeant and his men played was to tickle their victim with goose feathers, on the soles of his feet, between his legs, in the armpits, and on other parts of his naked body. At first the prisoner forced himself to keep silent, while his eyes twitched in fear and torment from one SS man to the other. Then he could not restrain himself and finally he broke out in a high-pitched laughter that very soon turned into a cry of pain, while the tears ran down his face, and his body twisted against his chains. After this tickling torture, they let the lad hang there for a little, while a flood of tears ran down his cheeks and he cried and sobbed uncontrollably."
How dreadful.
The bottom line here is that tickling can be fun if there are consensual guidelines set down between the tickler and the ticklee. Granted, one of the main aspects of ticking is the element of surprise. But it sounds as is this has veered into control and submission dynamics. You have't mentioned in your question whether you have told him what your desires here are. That, combined with the fact that on some level you are feeling pleasure here is probably fostering the continuation of your tickle-torture.
What special freaky little thing do you like? (Dick would help you out with a list of his own funny little specialties, but we would be here all day – and this is about you.) What ever you tastes lean toward, are you incorporating that in your sex life? And how available is your partner for some play time that feeds your fantasies?
Something else to consider. Perhaps your partner has some anxiety about good old fashioned vanilla sex. Sucking, screwing, kissing--all that good stuff. Dick had a boyfriend like that once. His self-consciousness alway made him tell jokes and crack-wise during the intimate moment. He could never lose himself to the relaxed intimacy and sensuality of sex. His jokes were a way of controlling the situation.
Certainly, tickling is a way to keep the intimacy under control. When your naked writing lover is laughing till tears steam down his face begging for the tickle-top to release him form the hysterical torture, there is very little room for subtler feelings. Getting to know more about his feelings and comfort with sex and intimacy might be helpful. In fact, just asking about these subjects and watching his reaction might tell you a lot. You might find you have someone with a fair amount of fear around sex and closeness.
So: Set your boundaries, state your desires, ask your partner what his real feelings about sex and love are. Tickling is often associated with child's play. Grown up relationships take give and take. This may be the time to move your relationship to the next level. You will never know till you get in there and see what's up.

Haçienda Records
Are delighted to announce the release of the long awaited debut Freebass EP "Two Worlds Collide" which brings together a selection of famous guest vocalists including Tim Burgess, Pete Wylie, Howard Marks and Peter Hook.
Originally born out of a conversation between Mani, Hooky and Rourkie some five years ago, Freebass has been through a long gestation process. Finding the right lead singer proved arduous leading Mani to suggest that the band approach their famous friends to contribute vocals. Howard, Tim and Pete all responding to the call.
"Two Worlds Collide" is the result of these early Freebass sessions and is released as a full four track EP including bonus tracks.
Opening up is Tim Burgess' contribution, "You Don't Know This About Me", a melodic and epic tune, the most reminiscent of Hooky's previous bands. A Stateside feel permeates the track, aptly enough since Tim wrote and recorded the vocal from his home in LA.
The EP takes a turn into the surreal with second track, "The Milky Way Is Our Playgroud" as Pete Wylie takes on vocal duties for a soaring, euphoric space rock track.
"Mr Nice" next as raconteur and beatnik, Howard Marks delivers a sterling vocal on "Dark Starr" as its driving bassline spins off into a grungey piece of rock and roll mischief. As Howard raps about Merlin, the light of Lucifer and matters thereof.
A change of pace for final track "Live Tomorrow You Go Down" as Hooky growls his way through a dance track whose Blackburn raves bassline, crunching beats, and Giorgio Moroder style electro flourishes bring about a leftfield, punkish techno track that was originally recorded by one of Freebass' early vocal try outs.
Mindful of Ian Curtis' maxim that if you start a track, you finish it, Hooky completed the track with Phil Murphy and dedicates it to Rich, the original singer.
So there you have it finally, the debut Freebass EP, you thought you'd never see.
The EP includes 6 tracks and is available as a one track continuous download.
Four tracks are also available as individual downloads.
Downloads are available from the Audio section of the shop.
or go straight to the download section for the EP...
On Freebass
"I think Freebass is a great band for bass players. It's a great concept, no-one else has done it, and there are three really strong characters there that've all played in extremely brilliant bands".
Tim Burgess
"The EP starts with a clock ticking, to signify the passing of time, then the four tracks and then into a playground. one of my favourite sounds. I remember from my childhood, when I was off school ill, my house was next to another school and I'd hear the kids at play time, it always reminds me of that! It was strange to hear it from your house, where you're kind of divorced from it? I always loved the sound, because to me it's about hope, the future, the joy of life, the spirit."
"The E.P shows the process as a musician that you go through. The sample at the end signifies the difficulty of dealing with some people. I often think that people don't realise how hard it is to get a group together, the commitment that it takes. They seem to forget that aspect, and don't even start me on the problems inherent in being locked together with four other blokes, in small rooms for days on end, recording, working etc etc, aargh!
"I'd say to them don't build it up too much. It is what it is, it's not going to revolutionise the world, it's just a bunch of guys trying to get together and create something. I'd urge people to take it on its merits. If people build it up too much then inevitably some people will be disappointed cos you cant live up to everyone's expectations." "People should realise we're not trying to emulate New Order, The Roses, Primal Scream, or The Smiths, we're just into it for what we do and to have a good time with it."

If You're Not Catching Fish - Move
By Jonie Maschek
Seems everyone is looking for fish, including my
cat, Gizmo. She loves to climb above the water to watch the fish jump.
Ive noticed lots of pelicans coming to my house for a handout. When we or the
neighbors clean fish, they arrive from everywhere.
In my home state of Washington, along the Pacific Coast, the sea lions are
waiting for salmon.
If you are an angler looking for fish, I suggest wearing Polarized glasses.
Polarized glass cut the glare that the Florida sun shines upon the waterways and
will enable you to see several feet below.
Another sure way to find fish is to hire a fishing captain that knows the
Get acquainted with your neighbor, he might be an expert fisherman.
Go to the local bait shops and talk with people stopping for bait or ask the
owner of the shops where the fish are.
Go online and find weather, the best fishing spots and where they are.
If one spot doesnt produce fish, dont stay there all day, move!
Watch the birds, they travel with a school of fish.
Try different baits, artificial or fresh. If one doesnt work the other might.
Watch the water depth, know what you are fishing for and where that fish might
be in a hole, rocks, grass flats or in a school.
Have the correct pole for saltwater or freshwater.
A Plant City angler told me, You never fish when the cows are laying down,
cause the fish just wont bite.
A pioneer of Ruskin told me, If there is a ring around the moon, dont think of
going fishing.
I met a few anglers that only fish when the tide is right.
One person told me, Now if the water is smooth as glass, you know there is no
fish out there so dont waste your time.
A Gibsonton anglers says, You must fish with the moon, if it is full - fishing
is great, all the way up to a quarter moon, after that, dont go fishing.
If there is a wind blowing, best forget going fishing. There is no way you can
cast into that wind and all you will do is tangle up the line.
Never fish if there are hurricane warnings or during an electrical storm.
Then I hear from pioneers who tell us that when their daddy was fishing the
Little Manatee River the fish were so thick that you didnt have to fish, cause
they just jumped into the boat.
Redfish catches are abundant. I hear that some are too large for keepers and
others are too small.
Sheepshead are great catches around the piers.
The king mackerel are on the run about 40 miles out in the Bay. Mangrove snapper
are jumping in the channels.
Trout are feeding in the flats.
Tarpon are coming in closer around the Bay glowing in the moonlight.
Snook are playing hide-n-seek in big holes and mangroves.
Flounder are waking up and surfacing and cobia are roaming around.
Commit yourself to ethical fishing as the future of the sport depends on it.
I hope anglers help increase the fish through catch and release.
Limit your take and dont always take your limit.
Observe regulations and report violators.
Bring back garbage from fishing trips.
