Citi Celebrates Teach Children To Save Day New Survey by Citi Community Development and Parenting Reveals That Parents Do Not Consistently Teach their Kids the Financial Facts of Life Business Wire WASHINGTON -- April 23, 2013 The American Bankers Association and Citi will join forces today to celebrate the 17^th annual Teach Children To Save Day, part of a national campaign promoting the importance of financial literacy and saving for the future. Hundreds of Citi employees will volunteer with youth across the country to teach the financial facts of life, including how to differentiate between needs and wants and the importance of saving to reach future goals. Citi employees will volunteer in classrooms and after school programs in cities across the country, including New York, Boston, Dallas, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, Washington, DC, Baltimore, San Diego, San Jose and Los Angeles. With support from Citi Community Development, Teach Children to Save has been a 14-year tradition at Citi and during that time, Citi employees have taught more than 100,000 children. "Teach Children to Save is part of our commitment to responsible finance and enabling progress in the communities we serve," said Cece Stewart, President of U.S. Consumer and Commercial Banking at Citi. "It's no secret that financial literacy is an important lesson: one that is often not passed from parent to child. Financial education is a joint effort between parents, schools and the banking industry. Citi is proud to be part of a program that helps give kids a healthy financial start." Teach Children to Save is the banking industry's largest collaborative effort to encourage youth savings. Research shows that children who save are more likely to go to college, have better control over their spending, have a more positive outlook on life, and are more financially literate overall. A recent survey from Citi Community Development and Parenting revealed that 41 percent of parents feel that their children do not understand the value of money and saving. And while 90 percent of parents agree that financial education is important, nearly half do not talk about money with their children on a regular basis. Thirty-eight percent admitted to bringing up the subject of money with children only as "the need arises." Respondents also said they wished their parents taught them about saving for the future (27 percent) and investing for the future (24 percent). Of the lessons they want to instill in their own children, 57 percent of respondents said that saving for the future was the most important followed by household budgeting at 44 percent. Other key lessons of the financial facts of life included managing debt (28 percent) and understanding their credit histories and credit scores (21 percent). "Findings like these make it clear that while many parents understand the importance of financial education, there is a reticence to talk plainly and frequently with their children about the critical money management skills that will benefit them throughout their lives," said Bob Annibale, Citi Global Director of Community Development. "Together with our consumer banking colleagues and with the leadership of the ABA, Citi Community Development is pleased to participate in Teach Children to Save, which reinforces our year-round support for initiatives that link financial access with the necessary financial education so that the next generation can realize their goals." "It's inspiring to see bankers across the country build this foundation for a positive financial future," said Frank Keating, ABA president and CEO. "Citi's many hours of dedicated service to the Teach Children to Save mission have significantly advanced financial literacy directly in the communities it serves." This year, nearly 10,000 bankers from banks of all sizes are participating in 49 states, Guam, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. More than 121,000 banker volunteers have taught savings to more than 5.6 million young people since the program began in 1997. About Citi Citi, the leading global bank, has approximately 200 million customer accounts and does business in more than 160 countries and jurisdictions.

IndianPropertyLawyers highlight the important points to keep in mind about a Rental Agreement, also called a Leave and License Agreement
IndianPropertyLawyers highlight the important points to keep in mind about a Rental Agreement, also called a Leave and License Agreement While dealing with Rent/Lease contract in either capacity (as a Landlord and Tenant OR Lessor and Lessee), one must avail the services of competent professional lawyer as it involves the legal provisions of the Contract Act and Transfer of Property Act.
Drafting a flawless Lease agreement requires competence, skill and complete knowledge of the legal aspects of the contract to thwart any apprehension of future complication for the either parties. Both the parties to the contract must be legally competent to enter into a contract. Some persons such as minors, undischarged insolvents, insane, bankrupts are incompetent to enter into a valid contract. Some important aspects of Rent /Lease agreement are given below.
What is a Rent/Lease Agreement?
Parts of Rent/Lease Agreement
Normal Lease agreement must contain the following clauses covering the aforesaid parts:
- Proper identification of the parties to the contract
- Clear title of the Lessor - The lessor must be the legal owner of the property or a person duly authorized by him or a person authorized by court to enter into such contract.
- Proper identification, area and demarcation of the property to be rented/leased.
- Tenure of the lease - The duration/period of the lease must be clearly mentioned with or without a provision for further renewal of the same. On expiry of the said period, the lease stands determined until and unless it is renewed further.
- Purpose of the lease - Whether the property will be used for residential, commercial or charitable purpose. Use of the property for any purpose other than as mentioned in the agreement, makes the agreement void and liable to be cancelled and compensation needs to be paid.
- Consideration - Quantum of rent payable and mode of payment must be mentioned. Normally the rent is payable on monthly basis unless it is mutually agreed otherwise.
- Enhancement of the rent payable - If the lease period is more than 1 year and it is agreed that rent payable will increase in subsequent year (s) then such increase should be mentioned in the agreement. Normally it is as a percentage of the rent paid in the current year.
- Security deposit or Advance Rent - The agreement must specify any security deposit or advance rent payable by the lessee, time and mode of refund of the deposit or adjustment of the advance rent. Normally deposits are interest free. In case it is agreed otherwise, the rate of interest and mode of payment thereof should be mentioned in the agreement.
- Other charges - Any other charge(s) such as for maintenance, security, electricity, water, gas etc or for any other facility, payable by the tenant/lessee, must be specifically mentioned in the agreement to spare both the parties any heartburn later on.
- Access to common/ancillary facilities - The agreement must specify the availability or otherwise, of the other facilities such as use of common passage, roof, park, swimming pool, car parking, library, club, gymnasium etc besides the demised and demarcated property, and charges payable (if any) for such facilities.
- Furnished flats - In case of furnished flats the agreement must contain the complete list of furniture/appliances/gadgets etc with respective specifications. Quantum of compensation for loss or damage to such furniture/appliances must be provided for in the agreement to avoid any miscommunication later.
- Maintenance of the lease property - Normally this requirement arises when the property is leased for a very long period. In such cases, the onus of repairing/maintenance of the property must be clearly spelt out. The agreement must also contain, in such cases, liability of the defaulting party to compensate the other party, for the losses and damages.
- Determination of Lease - It may occur in any of the following ways and must be reflected in the agreement.
A) By efflux of time - On expiry of the lease term

Chapter: Context-dependent mood effects on mental effort mobilization: A view from the Mood-Behavior-ModelThe psychology of moods, Edited by Clark, A V, 01/2006: pages 57-79; Nova Science Publishers.

Article: Informational Mood Impact on Effort-Related Cardiovascular Response: The Diagnostic Value of Mood Counts[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Drawing on the mood-behavior model (G. H. E. Gendolla, 2000), 2 experiments examined moods' informational impact on effort-related cardiovascular response. After being induced into positive versus negative moods, participants performed a memory task (Experiment 1) or a letter-cancellation task (Experiment 2). Half the participants received a cue that their mood could have been manipulated. As expected, both studies found stronger reactivity of systolic blood pressure in a negative mood than in a positive mood when no cue was provided. This effect diminished in the cue conditions. Additionally, achievement corresponded to systolic blood pressure reactivity (Experiment 1), the cue manipulation had no effect on mood, and mood had a congruency effect on subjective task difficulty in the no-cue conditions (Experiment 2).Emotion 10/2002; 2(3):251-62.

Article: The joint effect of informational mood impact and contingent consequences on effort related cardiovascular response[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Drawing on the mood-behavior model (G. H. E. Gendolla, 2000) and J. W. Brehm and E. A. Self's (1989) theory of effort mobilization, 2 experiments investigated the joint effect of mood, task difficulty, and performance-contingent consequences on effort-related cardiovascular response. Informational mood impact on demand appraisals and performance-contingent consequences had a joint effect on effort mobilization. When consequences were noncontingent on performance, mood interacted with task difficulty to determine cardiovascular reactivity in the shape of a cross-over interaction pattern. Yet when positive consequences were performance contingent, cardiovascular reactivity strongly increased only in the negative-mood/difficult-task condition--the subjectively appraised high necessary effort was now justified. Implications for the role of mood in motivation are discussed.Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 09/2002; 83(2):271-83. DOI:10.1037//0022-35188.8.131.521 · 5.08 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Drawing on the mood-behaviour model (Gendolla, 2000), two studies investigated informational effects of mood on effort-related cardiovascular response. Experiment 1 manipulated mood state (positive, negative) and task difficulty (easy, difficult, extremely difficult). Effects on cardiovascular reactivity were as expected: On the easy level, reactivity was weak in a positive mood, but strong in a negative mood; on the difficult level, reactivity was strong in a positive mood, but weak in a negative mood; on the extremely difficulty level mood had no effect. Experiment 2 manipulated mood only. As predicted, subjective demand and cardiovascular response were both higher in a negative mood than in a positive mood and the mood effect on cardiovascular response diminished after statistically controlling for the demand appraisals. Neither study revealed any mood effects on cardiovascular response during the mood inductions.Cognition and Emotion 08/2002; 16(5):577-603. DOI:10.1080/02699930143000446 · 2.52 Impact Factor
Article: Mood state and cardiovascular response in active coping with an affect-regulative challenge[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated the impact of mood states and task valence on cardiovascular reactivity in active coping. According to previous research, subjective demand is higher in a negative mood than in a positive mood, and cardiovascular adjustments are a function of subjective demand. Thus, we expected stronger cardiovascular reactivity in a negative mood than in a positive mood during task performance. University students (n=60) were first induced into either a positive or negative mood state via exposure to music. They then performed either a pleasant or unpleasant scenario completion task that provided opportunities for mood regulation. No effects were found on cardiovascular reactivity during the mood inductions. However, during task performance, systolic and diastolic blood pressure reactivity was stronger in a negative than in a positive mood. Task valence, which was successfully manipulated according to a verbal manipulation check, and post-performance mood changes had no significant impact. Results are interpreted as a further demonstration of the impact of mood valence on cardiovascular reactivity in active coping.International Journal of Psychophysiology 07/2001; 41(2):169-80.

Article: The joint impact of mood state and task difficulty on cardiovascular and electrodermal reactivity in active coping[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An experiment with N = 56 university students investigated the joint effects of manipulated mood state and task difficulty on cardiovascular and electrodermal reactivity during mood inductions and performance on a letter cancellation task. We tested our theory-based prediction that moods per se do not involve autonomic adjustments whereas mood and task difficulty interact during task performance to determine autonomic reactivity with respect to active coping. Specifically, we anticipated for an easy task weaker reactivity in a positive mood (due to low subjective demand) than in a negative mood (due to high subjective demand). Conversely, we expected, for a difficult task, stronger reactivity in a positive mood (high, but not yet too high, subjective demand) than in a negative mood (too high subjective demand). Adjustments of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and tonic skin conductance level described exactly the predicted pattern. Furthermore, task performance was associated with autonomic reactivity in the difficult conditions.Psychophysiology 06/2001; 38(3):548-56. DOI:10.1017/S0048577201000622 · 2.99 Impact Factor
Article: The Informational Impact of Mood on Effort Mobilization: A Study of Cardiovascular and Electrodermal Responses[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The impact of mood on effort quantified as autonomic adjustments was investigated in an experiment. The authors induced positive versus negative moods with either 1 of 2 mood induction procedures (music vs. autobiographical recollection) that differed in the extent of required effort. Then participants performed an achievement task after demand appraisals were made. Results were as predicted. During the mood inductions, autonomic reactivity (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, skin conductance responses) was stronger in the relatively effortful recollection conditions than in the relatively effortless music conditions. Mood valence had no impact here. But in the context of task performance, the authors found (a) mood congruency effects on the demand appraisals that reflected subjectively higher demand in a negative than in a positive mood, and (b) stronger SBP reactivity in a negative mood compared with a positive mood. Furthermore, SBP reactivity during task performance was correlated with achievement.Emotion 04/2001; 1(1):12-24. DOI:10.1037//1528-35188.8.131.52 · 3.88 Impact Factor

Commies vs. Capitalists; Manmohan Singh's Economic Ambitions Could Be Strangled by the Leftists in His Governing Coalition
Overdorf, Jason, Newsweek International
Byline: Jason Overdorf
In a pitch at the New York Stock Exchange in September, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked U.S. investors for $150 billion in foreign direct investment. His country desperately needs the money for infrastructure improvements over the next 10 years. While India's recent economic growth has been strong, Singh argued, his country has barely scratched the surface of its potential. An economist credited with helping to launch India on the path of economic reform in 1991, Singh claimed that annual GDP growth over the next five years could average 8 percent a year--up from a 6 percent average over the last decade--if the country stuck with its reform agenda. Added the prime minister: "No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come."
Except maybe his own ruling coalition. Bound by his Congress party's weak showing in the most recent elections (a mere 145 seats in Parliament out of 542) to an alliance with the communists and other leftist parties, Singh's reform ambitions are fragile, to say the least. Shortly after his NYSE appearance, communist M.P.s attacked Singh over the presence of so-called foreign experts in consultancies working with the national Planning Commission, the government agency that determines India's long-term strategic priorities. (All of the supposed foreigners were Indian nationals, but the leftists argued that their ties to foreign companies and organizations--including McKinsey & Co. and the World Bank--made their intentions suspect.) In the end, Singh disbanded the consultancies altogether, sending the pro-business "foreigners" and more leftist compatriots packing.
The tiff is a microcosm of the challenges facing Singh as he tries to accelerate economic growth while mollifying millions of voters, many of whom felt left behind by the liberalization policies of the former Bharatiya Janata Party government. On the one hand he has new allies among India's business elite, who are now influencing not just local but national politics and policies; on the other, he is hemmed in by his coalition partners, whose rhetoric and actions are themselves often at odds. It's not quite the capitalists vs. the communists, but the tug of war is real--and potentially the greatest drag on India's growth.
The economic-policy skirmishes have already started. Singh's reform plan has three key components: selling stakes in upwards of 35 state companies, raising the caps on foreign investment in key industries like telecommunications and insurance, and loosening the country's inflexible labor laws. Already, Singh's cabinet has approved an increase in the limit on foreign investment in India's aviation sector from 40 to 49 percent. But the left has so far blocked a proposed 25 percent increase in the FDI cap on the telecommunications and insurance sectors. In late October, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram told a meeting of business leaders that political pressures from coalition leftists would not stop the government's march to a market-oriented economy. He announced that a "reconstruction board" to advise the government on the sales of loss-making public companies would be set up soon, adding: "Some [state] companies will be closed down or sold."
The privatization issue is extremely sensitive. "Let privatization go to hell," Communist Party of India chief A. B. Bardhan said after last May's national election. On Oct. 27, the day before they were to meet with the prime minister, Bardhan and the Communist Party of India Marxist General-Secretary Har-kishen Singh Surjeet told reporters that they were aware of government efforts to sell stakes in state companies such as Power Grid Corp. and Power Finance, both profitable last year. The Communists oppose the move, calling it "privatization through the back door."
The political left particularly opposes selling off parts of India's navratnas , or nine jewels, which are major state-owned industrial and energy companies. …

Rick Rutledge, a West Virginia businessman, invested about $85,000 in Robo projects and lost almost all of it, he said in an interview. Some of his losses came when he reinvested in other Robo projects after receiving glowing reports from the company about the Leleux well. / By Jeff Gentner, Special to The Courier-Journal
The site of the Patrick Leleux #1 oil and gas well in Acadia Parish in South Louisiana has been reclaimed by rice fields. Each investor who paid more than $47,000 for a single unit lost 92 percent of that investment. By P.C. Piazza, The Daily Advertiser, Lafayette, La.

Once Robos vice president for operations, Stephen Stengell wrote investors glowing reports. He later said one of those reports could have been a little optimistic.
No visible signs remain of the Patrick Leleux #1 oil and gas well that once stood amid the rice fields of Acadia Parish in South Louisiana. Gone too are the large storage tanks built in anticipation of a bonanza that never appeared.
In fact, the Leleux well produced only modest quantities of oil and gas for less than a year before petering out. Each investor who paid more than $47,000 for a single unit lost 92 percent of that investment before any tax write-off.
Not everyone walked away from the Leleux well with a minimal return, however.
Robo Enterprises Inc., the Bowling Green-based company that sold shares in the well, raised approximately $3.3 million from more than 70 investors nationwide, about three times more than the company spent to drill and operate it, according to court records and the Louisiana operator who oversaw the project.
Moreover, Robo gave incomplete, and what some investors thought was misleading, information about the Leleux well's performance and production. That induced some of them to invest -- and ultimately lose -- still more money in other unsuccessful Robo projects.
Rick Rutledge, a West Virginia businessman, purchased a one-unit share of the Leleux well in March 2000. Six months later, after receiving his first (and largest) revenue check, for $2,057, along with at least two upbeat written reports and what he said were additional verbal assurances from Robo employees that the well was prospering, Rutledge invested thousands more in other Robo projects.
He lost almost all of it, he said in an interview.
"I was very, very angry for a long period of time, angry to the point of not being healthy. I lost a lot of money (about $85,000) and that hurt me," Rutledge said. "I had talked some of my friends into investing, and they lost money too."
The Leleux well is an example of how Robo used aggressive and sometimes misleading salesmanship -- including inflated projections of success -- and often withheld timely information, to sell and resell investors.
Both what Robo told investors, and failed to tell them, about the Leleux well "demonstrate reckless indifference to what should have been" disclosed, said Manning G. Warren III, an authority on securities law at the University of Louisville's Brandeis School of Law.
The Courier-Journal examined well records and spoke to investors, drilling company officials, former Robo officials and state regulators in an attempt to understand how Robo lost money for investors across the country on well after well in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming and elsewhere, but could still make tens of millions before going bankrupt.
And as small as the Leleux well's financial return was, former company officials told the newspaper they considered it the best revenue-producing well for investors during Robo's peak years.
Payoffs fell far shortof company's predictions
Robo began hyping the Leleux well to prospective investors early in 2000.
Then-president David G. Rose proclaimed that he had "great expectations" for the well, which could be the company's "potentially most productive well to date."
Robo also provided prospective investors with a copy of a letter written for the company by Lexington geologist J. Hunt Perkins. In recommending the project to Robo, Perkins had characterized it as a "low-risk venture with exceptional return-on-investment potential." Perkins, in a recent interview, twice referred to the risk associated with the Leleux well as "moderate." Asked about the apparent discrepancy between his assessments then and now, Perkins replied:
"I guess hindsight does have some bearing."
Further, Robo presented potential investors in the Leleux well with 20 scenarios describing how much money they might get back.
In 17 of the 20 possible outcomes, investors would get all their money back, plus more, in just a year's time. Under six of Robo's projections for the well, investors would double their money in 12 months. The worst possible outcome heralded a 63 percent return on their investment during the first year -- a far cry from the 7.6 percent actual, total return.
U of L's Warren described the investment projections as "highly misleading" because Robo neither provided investors with more realistic scenarios nor gave them information about the company's dismal track record.
The Courier-Journal repeatedly attempted to reach Rose for comment about this series. Reporters sent letters to his home address, business and lawyer's office. They briefly reached Rose on his cell phone and also left messages at his business. Rose declined to respond.
Some investors had done business with Robo before. Others said they received "cold calls" from a sales force that focused on the project's financial potential while glossing over possible risks.
Connecticut investor Rick Aiello said he bought a full share of the well for $47,237 after his salesman "raved" about it and referred to it as a likely "gusher." Aiello said the salesman also told him that his projected annual returns were at least $50,000 over the well's 15-year expected life span, which would have totaled at least $750,000.
Aiello's actual return from the Leleux well was far different: about $3,570. So instead of earning $750,000, he lost more than $40,000.
The salesman "made it sound so good," Aiello said. "His tone and energy definitely tried to convey the idea that it would be a sure bet if I invested."
In addition to seductive telephone pitches, potential investors also received an 82-page prospectus, called a private placement memorandum, or PPM, which was full of legal and technical jargon purporting to explain the project and its associated risks.
Most investors interviewed by the newspaper said that they merely leafed through the PPM.
Although they were required to sign a contract stating that they made their decisions to invest solely on information in the PPM, most of those interviewed said they were swayed largely by other Robo literature and the persuasive, persistent sales calls -- sometimes a half-dozen or more within a few weeks.
Andrew Leigh, a Boulder, Colo., businessman, said the Robo salesman who repeatedly called him was relentlessly upbeat about the Leleux well.
It "was going to make tons of money, it was pretty much a sure thing," Leigh said his salesman told him. Instead of making "tons of money," Leigh lost virtually all of his investment of more than $26,000 for a partial share.
Initial $12,800 investmentgrew to $47,237 expense
The initial cost for a full, one-unit share of the Leleux well was $12,800, which investors were told was for testing and drilling. Then, as the PPM said might occur, they were quickly assessed additional amounts: $18,975 in May 2000 to "complete" the well, and $15,462 in early June 2000 for "surface equipment."
That brought the total investment for one unit to $47,237, all of which was handed over to Robo before the Leleux well had produced a single barrel of oil or cubic foot of gas for sale.
In all, Robo collected $3.3 million and spent about $1.1 million to acquire, drill and complete the well, according to a report by bankruptcy attorneys.
Rose has defended mark-ups of three times well costs, saying other expenses needed to be figured in, such as marketing, finding sites, building overhead and prospect generation.
As the well neared actual production, Robo continued to hype it.
"Congratulations. It looks as if our partnership completion efforts have been finalized with success," Robo's vice president for operations, Stephen Stengell, wrote to Leleux investors on June 5, 2000.
"Regional experts, production engineers, service companies as well as our geologists and field operators all mutually agree that the (Leleux well) may very well be a spectacular producer for this area."
And in a July 20, 2000, memo, written just three weeks into actual production, Stengell asserted that "potential production rates" could exceed 450 barrels of oil per day.
According to Louisiana oil and gas records, however, the Leleux well produced an average of only 311 barrels of oil per day during July, and it never approached the 450 barrel-per-day level even in its very brief heyday.
Stengell told the newspaper his prediction was based on initial tests of the well, though he added: "We're all so damn excited at that time, it could have been a little optimistic."
Hype continued evenafter output plummeted
In fact, that heyday ended on July 26, 2000, just six days after Stengell's memo, when the Leleux well began to generate excessive brine.
Almost immediately, the well's oil and gas output dropped by more than 50 percent. Within a month, the output had declined by 75 percent. And by November 2000, the Leleux well was producing no gas at all, and barely one-tenth of the oil it spewed forth in July, Louisiana oil and gas records show.
Investors, however, were told none of this. Instead, they continued to receive optimistic reports from Robo.
The Leleux well "has been a predominant oil producer and continues to produce at a favorable rate," an unsigned Aug. 15, 2000, report from Robo stated three weeks after the well encountered problems.
A month later, another status report spoke of the well's oil production in July, but neglected to mention the precipitous decline during the six weeks since.
And on Sept. 21, Rose wrote to investors, heralding nothing but good news, including the arrival of their first dividend checks.
"Congratulations!" began Rose's letter, which also cited the Leleux well's July oil production but omitted any mention of the steep declines in August and September.
Some of those who had declined to invest in the Leleux well also heard from Rose. In an "I told you so" letter written Aug. 1, 2000 -- nearly a week after problems surfaced at the well -- Rose called it a "success" and termed its results "extraordinary" and "spectacular."
Daily oil production from the Leleux well had already dropped to 150 barrels or less, but Rose's letter asserted that the well "has been producing … in the 400 barrel per day range. …"
"Let's do the math," Rose went on, "$4,088,000 a year that you missed."
Doing the real math shows this: The Leleux well produced only about $500,000 worth of oil revenue for Robo during its entire life, or less than one-eighth of what Rose had predicted for just its first year, according to Louisiana records and the per-barrel price of oil Rose used.
Rose's letter concluded: "I hope you will be with us during our next success…."
Unknowing investorsgave Robo more money
It was not until Nov. 21, 2000, in Robo's sixth update to investors, that Rose told them of the serious problems encountered with the well nearly four months earlier.
Something "very unforeseen and unexpected happened as we progressed into the second month of production," he wrote, recounting the influx of brine.
"The reason for not reporting this situation sooner was that we did not want to alarm you and/or burden you with this very complex situation. Nor did we want to report to you without answers and/or a resolution to this very apparent dilemma."
The operator of the well, by contrast, told The Courier-Journal that the situation was not particularly complex, and that it was almost immediately apparent that there was no viable, long-term solution to the problem.
Bill Guidry, president of the Key Exploration Co. in Lafayette, La., said the well's long-term productivity was "pretty much" doomed once salt water was encountered, and that its decline was "very predictable. You could see it wasn't going to last very long."
Guidry said he notified Robo almost immediately of the well's decline.
"It's not normally my way of doing things to hide information from people, good or bad," he said.
Stengell, the former Robo official, said he was certain that Guidry did indeed notify the company "pretty much immediately," probably the next day and certainly within 48 hours. He said he did not know how soon investors were informed, but that a delay of nearly four months was "way too long."
"I think that's longer than it should be, sure. But that's David Rose for you," Stengell said. "Everything's positive and rah-rah with him. That's just how it is."
While the Leleux well's problems and reduced production rate were being shielded from investors, several said that Robo's sales force continued to tout the well as successful and cited it as a reason why investors should entrust thousands more to Robo for other projects.
This practice, known as "reloading," was a common Robo sales tactic.
Ron Pritchard, a teacher and athletics director in Gilbert, Ariz., who played linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals during the early 1970s, said those claims encouraged him to invest -- and, ultimately, lose -- more than $30,000 in Robo projects in Texas and Michigan in late 2000.
Knowing the truth about the Leleux well "would have affected my judgment and especially my wife's judgment" about those subsequent investments, said Pritchard, who lost about $160,000 to Robo.
"It broke my heart that I could be so vulnerable."
Rutledge, the West Virginia investor, also handed over more money to Robo based on what he said were the company's glowing written reports and his salesman's exuberance about the Leleux well in Louisiana's Acadia Parish.
"It was like, 'Acadia Parish has hit, it's producing. Let the good times roll, baby,' " Rutledge recalled.
He was so angry after learning the truth and feeling that he had been deceived that he wrote to Rose in December 2000. The newspaper obtained a copy of the letter as part of the bankruptcy records. It said in part:
"I expect full disclosure. I feel I have that right as an investor. … I've got bad news before and I deal with it. … I cannot deal with … intentional deception."
Rutledge said he received no response.

Basketball is the focus for Knicks
ELMSFORD, N.Y. -- It was all business here in Elmsford, N.Y., as the Knicks prepared for Saturday's Game 1 of their playoff series against the Celtics, with the focus on the starting lineup and guard Pablo Prigioni's sprained right ankle.
But Jason Kidd took time to address the situation in Boston.
"You look at what the city has gone through – the game of basketball is just a game," Kidd said. "We're talking about lives.
"The emotions will be high for them, just because of what's happened. Not just them, but for the country. Everybody is going to have emotion. Hopefully we can give people relief for two hours, but at the end of the day, what happened is tragic."
As for his team, the Knicks are trying to determine whether Prigioni will be able to play after injuring his ankle Wednesday.
"Shot a little bit today, but I think he's doubtful tomorrow," coach Mike Woodson said. "I just don't see it."
In Prigioni's spot, the Knicks are likely to go with Chris Copeland, though they could also use James White.
The Knicks' Iman Shumpert missed practice for personal reasons. He is expected back with the team today, and will play in Game 1.

Summary:A documentary examining why genocides keep occurring--from the Armenian genocide in 1915, to the Holocaust, Bosnia, Rwanda and now Darfur. With the contribution of the band 'System of a Down', whose members are all grandchildren of genocide survivors, the film traces the locations and stories of genocide in the last century. Through the arguments of Pulitzer prize-winning author Samantha Power, the personal stories of genocide survivors, policy critics and whistleblowers--the "screamers"--the film dissects the problem of genocide denial and, as well, Power's thesis that America's interest has always been to stay neutral, no matter how wide-scale the carnage, with successive Presidents conspi...

Vaizey 'amazed' ARB still standing
Culture minister Ed Vaizey has admitted he was 'amazed' the government had failed to abolish ARB, two years after promising he would scrap the register
Speaking as shadow minister for culture in 2009, Vaizey told a meeting of the AJ100 breakfast club that he would save CABE from a Tory 'bonfire of the quangos' but kill off the Architects' Registration Board (ARB).
Asked why this policy failed to materialise, the minister said: 'I'm amazed ARB is still standing, but it wasn't my department.' In October last year the government announced it would retain ARB while at the same time the Department for Culture, Media and Sport pulled its funding for CABE.
Responding to questions about education secretary Michael Gove's comments towards architects, Vaizey defended the profession's role in designing schools. He said: 'The work of our great architects should be a matter of great public pride.'
Alluding to the successes of Hampshire Architects Department's schools, he added: 'I will continue to remind Michael [Gove] great education does not come at the expense of great architecture.'
Vaizey spoke last night (13 September) at the launch of the annual Open House London weekend where he told the audience in London's BT Tower that he volunteered 'many years ago' for the organisation and gave tours of private houses and the Foreign Office.
He said Hopkins' Velodrome was his favourite to win this year's Stirling Prize.

United Nations Peacekeepers Shot in Disputed Sudan Border Region
Four United Nations peacekeepers were injured in an attack by unidentified gunmen in the disputed region of Abyei on the border of north and Southern Sudan, the UN said.
The Zambian nationals were shot while on patrol in the northern part of the region, UN Mission in Sudan spokesman Kouider Zerrouk said today from Khartoum, Sudan's capital. One of the peacekeepers is in a serious condition and all four have been evacuated to the hospital in the city, he said.
Abyei is contested by northern and oil-rich Southern Sudan, which is set to become independent on July 9. The future of Abyei is the most contentious of the remaining issues to be negotiated before the separation. Abyei's residents were scheduled to vote in January on whether to join an independent south or remain with the north. The vote was cancelled because of disagreements over who was eligible to take part.
The Ngok Dinka people, who are loyal to Southern Sudan, said they alone should be allowed to vote in the region's referendum. The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, in a 2009 ruling, set Abyei's borders to the area around Ngok Dinka settlements, largely excluding the pro-northern Misseriya ethnic group.
In its ruling, the court set key oil fields, including Heglig and Bamboo, outside of the Abyei region. Those fields and Diffra in Abyei are run by the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Co., which is 40 percent owned by Beijing-based China National Petroleum Corp.
The UN has about 900 peacekeepers patrolling the Abyei region and its mission will continue even after the attack, Zerrouk said.

Indiana St. 65 at Missouri St. 67
Late FTs help Missouri St. beat Indiana St. 67-65Tuesday, Feb 12, 2013
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP)—Marcus Marshall capped a 19-point performance with two free throws with 8 seconds left, giving Missouri State a 67-65 victory over Indiana State on Tuesday night.
The Bears (8-18, 6-8 Missouri Valley) led the entire second half but saw conference co-leader Indiana State pull within 65-63 on Jake Odum's layup with 10 seconds left. Marshall was fouled and made both free throws to make it a two-possession game before ISU's R.J. Mahurin made a meaningless jumper just before the final buzzer.
Marshall's 19 points tied the career high he set in Saturday's 79-50 loss to Wichita State. Christian Kirk added 14 points and Keith Pickens had 11 for MSU.
Odum led the Sycamores (16-9, 9-5) with 21 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. Manny Arop chipped in 15 points, including three 3-pointers.
The teams split their season series; Indiana State won 68-60 in Terre Haute, Ind., on Jan. 16.

John Hoppner
|John Hoppner
Self-portrait (c. 1780)
4 April 1758 (baptised)
Whitechapel, London, England
|23 January 1810(aged 51)
|Known for
|Notable work
|Mary Linwood
Lord Nelson
John Hoppner (4 April?, 1758 – 23 January 1810) was an English portrait painter. He achieved fame as a brilliant colourist. His touch has qualities of breadth and freedom that give to his paintings a faint reflection of the charm of Reynolds.
Early life[edit]
Hoppner was born in Whitechapel, London, the son of German parents - his mother was one of the German attendants at the royal palace. King George's fatherly interest and patronage of the young boy gave rise to rumours, quite unfounded, that he may have been his illegitimate son. Hoppner became a chorister at the royal chapel, but, showing strong inclination for art, in 1775 he entered the Royal Academy. In 1778 he took a silver medal for drawing from life, and in 1782 the Academy's highest award, the gold medal for historical painting, his subject being King Lear.
He first exhibited at the Royal Academy In 1780. His earliest love was for landscape, but necessity obliged him to turn to the more lucrative business of portrait painting. At once successful, he had throughout life the most fashionable and wealthy sitters, and was the greatest rival to the growing attraction of Thomas Lawrence. He rarely attempted ideal subjects, though a Sleeping Venus, Belisarius, Jupiter and Io, a Bacchante and Cupid and Psyche are mentioned among his works. The prince of Wales visited him especially often, and many of his finest portraits are in the state apartments at St. James's Palace, the best perhaps being those of the prince, the duke and duchess of York, of Lord Rodney and of Lord Nelson, Among his other sitters were Sir Walter Scott, the Duke of Wellington, Frere and Sir George Beaumont.
Competent judges have deemed his most successful works to be his portraits of women and children. A Series of Portraits of Ladies was published by him in 1803, and a volume of translations of Eastern tales into English verse in 1805. The verse is mediocre. In his later years Hoppner suffered from a chronic disease of the liver. He was confessedly an imitator of Reynolds. When first painted, his works were much admired for the brilliancy and harmony of their colouring, but the injury due to destructive mediums and lapse of time which many of them suffered caused a great depreciation in his reputation. The appearance, however, of some of his pictures in good condition has shown that his fame as a brilliant colourist was well-founded. His drawing is faulty, but his touch has qualities of breadth and freedom that give to his paintings a faint reflection of the charm of Reynolds.
Unusually Hoppner painted the background and perhaps more of a full length portrait of Charlotte, Countess Talbot by Thomas Gainsborough in 1788, the year in which Gainsborough died. It is now in the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.
Personal life[edit]
Hoppner was a man of great social power, and had the knowledge and accomplishments of a man of the world.
He married Phoebe Wright, the daughter of American-born sculptor Patience Wright. They had five children, although little is known about the youngest:
- Catherine Hampden Hoppner (1784–1828), Magistrate, East India Company
- Richard Belgrave Hoppner (1786–1872), British Consul general, Venice,[1]
- Wilson (sometimes known as William) Lascelles Hoppner (1788-?), artist
- Henry Parkyns Hoppner (1795–1833), officer of the Royal Navy, Arctic explorer, draughtsman/artist
- youngest unknown Hoppner

Ideal for a good night's sleep. Also great for study, travel or noisy work places. Keep water out of ears when swimming or bathing.
Ohropax Ear Pugs are made from a soft wax compound and cotton. They provide a comfortable fit into the ear canal while creating an efficient seal against noise or water entry.
I can't ever imagine going back to the conventional foam type ear plugs since using this. Although the wax plugs are more of a high maintenance and you can't wash it to keep it clean or do any kind of cleaning for that matter (b/c of its waxy nature), it really blocks out so many sounds that I haven't lost a sleep since using it. Only other downside is that if you move your ears a certain way while wearing it (like pressure being applied from back of your ears), the seal over your ears can loosen so you have to press the plug right back in. But even with these kinds of drawbacks I'd choose this any day over foams because of its ability to block out sounds which foam couldn't, and the incredible comfort in wearing it.
Exceptionnal quality does thw work for 29 decibels.Worth the price when you compare the lifetime of regular ear wax.Thank you Well.ca for making it available :)
This product is what brought me to Well.ca because I couldn't find them in local stores. Superior to any other ear plug that I've tried. Shapes to your ear, blocks out 90% of the noise, and doesn't fall out during the night.
I have been using OHROPAX wax earplugs for 30+ years as a sleeping aid, especially while recovering from CFS.
My husband snores, and much as I love him, it makes it difficult for me to sleep.
Using these earplugs cuts out all noise; great for travel , and sleeping away from home.
I cannot sleep without them, and was so upset when I could no longer buy them in my drugstore here in Ontario.
I even had them sent from the States, until I found Well.ca had them!
Am so thankful I can buy them through Well.ca!!
This product is excellent to cut noise or use for swimming. I discovered it in Germany 13 years ago. You can't find it easily in Ontario. In BC and Alberta is available in many stores while in Ontario I buy it using Well.ca.
Fantastik! I tried different kind of ear plugs and was never satisfied but these are absolutely perfect. My friends at work uses them all the time.
These are hands-down the most comfortable earplugs available on the Canadian market. I can't be without them.
I provided a review previously but just to say I keep coming back as they are the best. Well.ca is one of the few places I can find these and the service is always great. Two thumbs up on product AND service!
I have been using Ohropax ear plugs for many years to help me sleep, I can no longer find them in the city I live in. When I found well.ca I was excited to see that they have these ear plugs. They are soft, fit well, comfortable. Keep noise out really well. They do last long. I hope that you always have these available for sale as no other ear plug works as well.
I have been using Ohropax earplugs for many years. They are soft and fit nicely into my ears. They keep out the noise very well. No other brand that I have tried fits into my ears as well as these. Highly recommended.
This product did not work for me at all. the wax is sticky, comes off too easily, hurts my ears, and does not block enough noise. I prefer the foam ear plugs, if you find good ones, they do not have the qualities that I listed. Not worth the high price, not repurchasing them.
I always buy these earplugs for 3 of my children, who say they are the best on the market.
They started using them when living in the Netherlands and are so happy I found them here
in Guelph-Canada!!!
These ear plugs are by far the best I have used. They do a good job of blocking out the noise of the air conditioner in my bedroom and assist me in getting a good nights sleep. They are great!
This is an excellent product. we travel extensively and it is always the first item to be packed. In fact we take an extra pair as there is usually someone we meet along our journey that is having sleepless nights because of noise. If you hold them in your closed fist for a minute or two they become soft enough to mold easily into the shape of your ear. They form an excellent seal for noise reduction and if they loose their 'seal' you simply press on the outside of the plug to 'reseal'.
Love these earplugs...they are comfortable and block out every noise, particularly my husband snoring!
Bought these for my husband as he is a very very light sleeper. Fab product - he has tried many different ones and finds these are the best ones ever!
Best earplugs really block out all and any noise. Have you used these for 30+ years as a shiftworker.
I've been using this product for 2 months now and it's the best there is. I ordered 2 more boxes last Sunday and received them today 3 days from Guelph to Wpg... amazing svc. Recommended!

Incentive Policies and China's Economic Development: Change and Challenge
Liou, Kuotsai Tom, Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting & Financial Management
ABSTRACT. Incentive policies have been emphasized by many governments as one of the major policy tools to promote economic development in their societies. For this paper I have examined the application of incentive policies in China to improve economic performance during China's reform years. In the paper are theoretical reviews about various types of incentive policies and different arguments about their effects. The development of Chinese incentive policies is introduced and analysis of their achievements in improving economic growth and attracting foreign investment is presented. Challenging issues of incentive policies have been related to concerns about effectiveness and equity, accountability and transparency, as well as economic upgrade and balance. Implications of the Chinese development experience are provided for future study of incentive policies.
Economic development has been one of the top public policies emphasized by the Chinese government since the late 1970s. For the past thirty years, China has successfully implemented various reform policies to increase economic growth and to improve the quality of public life. These policies have promoted private investments and business operations and have gradually changed the Chinese system from a totally government-controlled planning system to a market-oriented capitalist system (or a socialist system with Chinese characteristics). On the overall economic performance, China has achieved impressive records in almost all aspects of economic measurement and performance. For example, China's gross domestic product (GDP) has been increased from Rmb 362.4 billion in 1978 to over Rmb 30 trillion billion in 2008. Chinese people have also become richer, with annual GDP per capita rising from Rmb 379 in 1978 to Rmb 16,084 in 2006 ("GDP Growth 1952-2007," n.d.). The success of Chinese development has been well recognized by scholars of various disciplines who have studied policy lessons and implications of the Chinese development experience.
Among various reform policies, incentive policies provided by the Chinese government have played a major role in attracting foreign investments, promoting business development, and assisting economic transition. Researchers of Chinese economic development and public administration (e.g., De'Murger et al., 2002; Liou, 2009; Lu & Tang, 1997) have been interested in studies -not only types and industries of incentives provided, but also outcomes and implications of incentives policies. For example, incentive policies have been used in China's coastal region to attract foreign investment because of the lack of financial resources at the early stage of economic development. In recent years, incentive policies have been further emphasized by Chinese policymakers to address new economic problems, such as slowing growth rates, declining exports, and changing economic structures, which are related to the global financial crisis.
This paper is an examination of the implementation of incentive policies for China's economic reform and development. First I provide a review of theoretical findings about China's development model and concerns about the effectiveness of incentive policies. I then explain the development of Chinese incentive policies, especially their relationship with the strategy of special economic development zones (SEZs), during the reform years. Finally I identify major challenging issues associated with incentive policies and present important lessons from the Chinese development experience.
Financial incentive policies and programs have been emphasized in the literature of economic development at both the national and local levels. At the national level, the importance of financial incentive policies has been recognized by researchers of comparative development economy (e.g., Ho, 1981; Johnson, 1982; Lin, 1989; Wade, 1992). These researchers explained that the successful experience of newly industrialized countries (NICs) is related to not only provisions and operations of a free market system but also to an active role of government in directing public and private resources to change the structure of their economy. …

I love snowboarding and last year I did some in Finland...I found my addiction with it again after being there so I did more. I'm no pro, but can board pretty well. Just no backflips or anything. Took to some indoor slopes when I got back home, where I broke both of my wrists which resulted in a hell load of morphine (Bloody good stuff) So, not being able to do much, drank some of the best beer in the world (No joke) which is Finnish and went for a lot of walks...
...healed up now, back at drawing and back at snowboarding so....Hai
