How Capital Gains Changes Could Affect Futures Traders
Flaherty, John K., Cooper, Robert W., Modern Trader
How capital gains changes could affect futures traders
A change in the taxation of some or all capital gains will be a large part of Congressional deliberations over a new tax bill this year.
The good news is that traders and investors in futures contracts can view the retention of the "60/40" long-term/short-term mechanism as potentially favorable. The caveat is that recent proposals, rife with "carve-outs," could cause speculator concern over what impact a 1990 capital gains change will have on the taxation of futures contract positions.
The 1990s may mark the end of a trend for speculators who historically were rewarded, through capital gains tax treatment, for taking risk. For the first time in many years, such speculators will have to contend with a shift in capital gains thinking.
Among the issues these taxpayers will face are: * The repeal of the long-term capital gains exclusion from the Tax Reform Act of 1986. * President George Bush's 1989 tax-reduction proposal, which would reward longer-term investments. * "Carve-outs," or individual asset class determinations on tax breaks.
On the surface, it may seem the 28% maximum tax rate on current exchange-traded futures contracts compares favorably to the pre-1986 law maximum tax rate of 32%.
After assessing the combination of long-term capital gains exclusion and the former more progressive tax rate system, however, it becomes apparent that, for most speculative traders, repeal of the long-term capital gains exclusion under the 1986 act resulted in a much higher effective tax rate on trading gains. Basically, the increase in the effective tax rate would be true for all taxpayers except those in the 50% bracket.
Aside from repealing the long-term capital gains exclusion by the 1986 Act, Congress didn't change the basic statutory rules governing the taxation of regulated futures contracts. Internal Revenue Code Section 1256, originally enacted under the 1981 Tax Act, still provides for "mark to market" at year's end, ensuring that tax calculations on futures and options will include all unrealized profits and losses on open positions.
That result is then treated as a 60/40 long-term/short-term capital gain or loss "split" - gains and losses are 60% long-term and 40% short-term for all section 1256 contracts, including futures and options on futures, regardless of their holding periods. Maintaining this 60/40 split could lead to a lowering of the effective tax rate on individual traders' contracts, if there is a re-enactment of the capital gains preference.
Modern niches
"Carve-outs" of certain classes of capital assets (either qualifying or not qualifying for preferential treatment) are evidence of the new thought process on preferential tax treatment for long-term capital gains. Recent proposals have reflected a prevailing belief in Congress that "not all capital gains are equal."
Under the new proposals, the concept of the holding period has taken on greater importance. Historically, the six-month or one-year holding periods required for long-term treatment generally applied to all capital assets. …

The third one was my fav!
cool vids!
Wednesday Rundown is the best! Hey Jerrit, you do awesome photographic work and posts. I was wondering if you can create a video or fstoppers original on something, like your DIY's, for example. I think that would be cool.
First video would have been better if they actually would have showcased the last girl more.
Hi Jon, I shot this video and photography for it, and I agree. There was a lot of things I would have changed looking back. This was my very first attempt at video and film making. The last model's name is Lindsey and her photos stood out the most to me. What happened was we actually ran out of time. This was a 14 hour epic day of shooting and she was the last. Because we ran out of time I had to concentrate on the photography first but they turned out so well I had to include them in the slides. But that left no video backing her and her story. I agree it's a distraction but live and learn. Hope you liked it though.
Thanks for sharing! :)
BTS videos without final shots are so frustrating to me. They always feel like the last episode of the Sopranos...

Deep-sequencing of a primary tumor and metastasis from a single patient, and functional validation in culture, reveals that TGFBR2 and FGFR2 act as drivers of gastric cancer.
When talking about cancer genome studies, big does not necessarily mean beautiful, and, as illustrated by Nadauld and colleagues [1] in this edition of Genome Biology, the careful analysis of just one gastric cancer patient can provide profound insights into the drivers of tumorigenesis. Recent estimates of the worldwide gastric cancer burden show that it is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer, and the third-leading cause of cancer death [2]. Current treatment options for early disease include surgical resection together with neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy, but five-year survival is only <60% [3]. Patients with advanced disease are treated with chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy and show a median survival of around 12 months, whereas patients with a high level of expression of HER2 (also known as ERBB2, encoding receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2) receive adjuvant trastuzumab (monoclonal antibody against HER2) and can be expected to have a median survival of 16 months [3]. Overall, gastric cancer is a disease with a dismal prognosis. When analyzing cancer genomes, our inclination has always been to sequence large numbers of tumors so as to draw the landscape of mutations. The deluge of data that ensues makes it difficult to read the life-history of each cancer or to appreciate the stories they may tell.
Here, Nadauld and colleagues [1] report the identification of candidate oncogenic drivers by undertaking exome and whole-genome sequence analysis of tumors from a single patient, followed by robust experimental validation. The patient they studied presented with a diffuse gastric cancer and a family history of the disease. Germline sequence analysis of CDH1 (encoding the adhesion protein cadherin-1), a known driver, revealed an essential splice-site mutation co-segregating within the pedigree. Subsequent sequencing of a primary tumor from this patient and of a metastatic lesion revealed several drivers - an amplification of the FGFR2 locus (encoding fibroblast growth factor receptor 2) that was found exclusively in the primary, and a deletion in the gene TGFBR2 (encoding TGF-beta receptor type-2) found exclusively in the metastasis. In this paper, it was not so much that the authors set out to tell a story of gastric cancer - rather, the complete story of this cancer and its evolution, and make it a good read.
The power of N?=?1
In the world of clinical trials, the value of N?=?1 (also known as `N of 1¿) studies has long been appreciated. In this scenario, brave souls who are not yet `done¿, or who are unwilling to accept their fate, step forward to try new experimental therapies. Albert Alexander, for example, was the fourth patient to receive penicillin from Howard Florey, and the profound anti-bacterial response it elicited was key to its clinical development. Likewise, dramatic responses in single patients treated with cancer therapies such as inhibitors of the serine/threonine-protein kinase B-raf (BRAF) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte protein 4 (CTLA-4) have been key [4]. Yet, as cancer genome scientists, as soon as we could drown ourselves in data, we did.
So what do the mutations identified in the tumors from this gastric cancer patient actually tell us (Figure 1)? First, as a germline CDH1 mutation was found, it tells us that an early chapter in the story was loss of the wild-type allele of this gene, probably coinciding with biallelic loss of the TP53 gene (encoding cellular tumor antigen p53) or preceding it. Thus, mutation of CDH1 and TP53 are early events that probably drove tumor initiation and set the ball rolling. But why does the metastasis lack the FGFR2 amplification? This is most likely explained by the early dissemination of tumor cells from the primary lesion, which was removed by gastrectomy at presentation, to the metastatic site in the ovary, with these cells lying dormant, only to be reanimated years later by loss of TGFBR2. An alternative scenario could be that loss of TGFBR2 helped a cancer cell transit from the primary tumor to the metastatic site, where it lay in wait - either way, distal dissemination of the tumor must have been an early event occurring before removal of the primary.
Figure 1. Telling the story of a gastric cancer through sequencing and functional studies. (a) The primary gastric cancer clone carried CDH1 and TP53 mutations. After it had metastasized to the ovary, the primary gastric cancer acquired an amplification of the FGFR2 locus (black arrow). At this point, the primary tumor was removed by gastrectomy. Some three years later, the patient presented with abdominal masses. Sequencing of the metastatic tumor revealed loss of TGFBR2, but no amplification of FGFR2. Loss of TGFBR2 might have occurred after the clone had spread to the ovary (non-broken blue arrow) or alternatively might have occurred as the metastatic clone transited from the primary to the ovary (broken blue arrow). (b) A schematic representation of the functional validation of candidate oncogenic events. A human gastric cancer cell line harboring mutations in CDH1 and TP53, and an amplification of FGFR2, shows a significant reduction in survival in response to inhibition of the FGF pathway. Murine gastric organoids in which Tgfbr2 is suppressed by knockdown (kd) in the context of cdh1 and Tp53 loss undergo oncogenic transformation in vitro when grown subcutaneously (s.c.) in immunodeficient mice. The resultant tumor shows histology consistent with diffuse gastric cancer and undergoes metastatic spread to the lungs. Abbreviations: CDH1, cadherin-1; FGF, fibroblast growth factor; FGFR, fibroblast growth factor receptor; TGFBR2, TGF-beta receptor type-2; 3D, three-dimensional; TP53, cellular tumor antigen p53.
This result challenges the dogma that metastasis occurs late during cancer progression and suggests strategies that kill occult cancer cells where they lie are important adjuvants to surgery. Importantly, the early dissemination of tumor cells poses some challenges in the clinical management of advanced disease. First, although genomic analysis revealed that inhibitors of FGFR2 could be used to treat the primary lesion, they are unlikely to elicit a response in the metastasis. As it is the metastatic abdominal mass that represents the highest risk for the patient, treatment on the basis of changes found in the genome of the primary would represent wasted intervention time. This case had just one primary and one metastasis; some cases have dozens of metastatic lesions or synchronous primary tumors, compounding the challenge of personalizing cancer therapy. It appears that there can be no half-measures in profiling a patient¿s disease. The complexity of cancer evolution does not make personalized therapy hopeless, just challenging, and it is only through the kind of molecular cartography described by Nadauld and colleagues [1] that we will be able to understand this disease.
The value of N?=?1 cancer-genome studies is soon to be further tested as efforts to analyze the genomes of `exceptional responders¿ - those patients whose response to therapy marks them as both lucky and different - gather pace. One particularly startling example of this approach was the sequencing of the genome of a single small-cell lung cancer patient, resulting in the identification of a RAD50 mutation as a factor contributing to the patient¿s profound curative response to combination chemotherapy (AZD7762 - an inhibitor of the serine/threonine-protein kinases Chk1 and Chk2 - and irinotecan, an inhibitor of topoisomerase 1) [5]. Most oncologists have stories of similar patients who, by all reckoning, should not have survived their disease; with sequencing, we will understand why, and this will help sculpt treatments for all patients.
The right model of cancer, not just any model
Oncogenic transformation is a complex multistep process, and the precise number of alterations required is still an on-going debate. Nevertheless, it is widely accepted that, in most cancers, multiple hits contribute to the final tumorigenic phenotype. The identification of sets of alterations that cooperatively induce transformation is crucial in order to interrogate candidate oncogenic drivers in the appropriate genetic context. Here, Nadauld and colleagues perform all their validation experiments in the context of loss of CDH1 and TP53. First, by using the gastric cancer cell-line KATOIII, which carries an amplification of FGFR2 in addition to CDH1 and TP53 loss, they show response to inhibitors of FGF pathway tyrosine kinases and a therapeutic avenue that is potentially efficacious for the primary tumor. Notably, however, inhibitors of FGFR2 have not been formally approved for gastric cancer. Second, an organoid-based model, discussed below, is used to test TGFBR2 as a tumor suppressor and to assess its metastatic potential. Importantly, Nadauld et al. did not choose any model - instead, they carefully selected the right models, with functional validation of driver mutations being an integral part of the story, rather than an afterthought or footnote performed with `reviewer 3¿ in mind.
Organoid-based 'cancer engineering' as a validation strategy
Next-generation sequencing studies have flooded the literature with lists of candidate cancer genes, but these are just the `table of contents¿ to the story of a cancer type [6]. The real story unfolds with functional studies that investigate how each individual cancer is wired. In addition to the cell-line studies described above, Nadauld and colleagues use a novel three-dimensional in vitro organoid model that consists of primary epithelial and mesenchymal gastric cells. As recently published by the same authors [7], this model allows for in vitro 'cancer engineering' through transfection of candidate or known oncogenic drivers into murine primary wild-type cells from the tissue of interest. Additionally, the presence of both epithelial and mesenchymal cells, and the three-dimensional nature of these organoids, accurately reproduces the complexity of the tissue of origin and its histopathology. As mentioned above, the in vitro oncogenic transforming potential of downregulation of Tgfbr2 was tested on a background of loss of Cdh1 and Tp53 (Cdh1-/-; Tp53-/-), with histopathological characterization of the resulting organoids revealing a key role for Tgfbr2 downregulation in a diffuse gastric cancer phenotype. Interestingly, disaggregated Cdh1-/-; Tp53-/- organoids expressing small hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting Tgfbr2, when injected subcutaneously into immunodeficient mice, showed increased tumor growth compared with Cdh1-/-; Tp53-/- control cells.Furthermore, the distal spread of cells from the injection site into the lungs of the mice was observed, thus confirming the metastatic potential of the Cdh1-/-; Tp53-/-; Tgfbr2 knockdown cells (Figure 1).
The route ahead via N?=?1
At heart, many of us are reductionists seeking to understand simple questions through the lens of genome sequencing. Just as the N?=?1 clinical trial has profoundly informed us of new paths to therapy, the N?=?1 cancer genome will increasingly be used to identify the key molecular factors that drive cancer evolution and mediate response to therapy. Recent studies, for example, have used N?=?1 approaches to define new driver mutations and mutational signatures in melanoma and to hunt down the clone of origin for a lethal prostate cancer [8]-[10]. Nadauld and colleagues further illustrate the power of an N?=?1 analysis - the advantage of combining these endeavors with functional studies and the value of every cancer patient¿s story.

Justin Colby Accused Of Trying To Abort Girlfriend's Baby With A Dodge ChargerJanuary 28, 2015 at 2:21 pm by Morbid
PASCO COUNTY, FL – Justin Colby is behind bars facing attempted murder charges after the 33-year-old allegedly tried aborting his girlfriend's baby with a 2006 Dodge Charger.
On Monday, Colby got into an argument with his girlfriend, 32-year-old Crystal Noordhuizen, who is seven months pregnant. Not wanting to exasperate the situation, Noordhuizen left their home and began walking down the street.
That's when police say Colby called her on her cell phone and asked, "Are you ready for your abortion date?" before veering his vehicle off the road and striking Noordhuizen from behind. Colby crashed into a pole, got out of the car and walked to his home where he fled on a white motorcycle.
Noordhuizen was taken to Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point with minor injuries, while Colby was later picked up by police and charged with attempted murder.
This isn't the first time Colby has been accused of hitting someone with a car. In 2012, Colby was charged with aggravated battery causing great bodily harm after he ran over his brother.…
James Crudup Ran Girlfriend Over Three Times In Gas Station Parking LotDecember 30, 2014 at 12:29 pm by Caustic
Toms River, NJ – James Crudup is facing attempted murder charges after the 44-year-old ran over his girlfriend several times in a gas station parking lot.
Crudup and his 35-year-old girlfriend pulled into a Hess parking lot and immediately got into a fight outside of his pickup truck. The fight, which started as a shouting match, escalated to the point that Crudup threw the woman to the ground and choked her out.
The woman was able to get up and run towards the gas pumps, at which point Crudup entered his 2000 Dodge Durango pickup and drove towards her. A Hess employee tried to push her out of the way, but the woman ended up pinned between the bumper of Crudup's truck and the gas pumps.
Not being a man to half-ass the situation, Crudup ran her over as she was lying on the ground, crushing her legs and hitting the gas pumps again. In a final hurrah, he took the opportunity to run her ass over a third time as he fled the scene.…
Marcos Ortega Faces New Charges After Driving With Man Stuck In WindshieldNovember 19, 2014 at 1:15 pm by Morbid
OCEAN TOWNSHIP, NJ – Prosecutors say the alleged drunk driver who hit a man and drove over a mile with him sticking through his windshield will likely face upgraded charges after the victim died.
According to reports, 33-year-old Marcos Ortega was driving drunk on Nov. 10 when he hit 61-year-old Kenneth Moeller who was walking along the side of the road. Instead of stopping, Ortega continued driving with poor Moeller sticking through his windshield.
Police began receiving calls regarding an erratic driver with what appeared to be a body on the hood of the car. They were able to pull Ortega over approximately 1.5 miles from where he initially hit Moeller.
Police conducted field sobriety tests on Ortega and determined he was impaired. He was taken into custody and charged with leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash and causing serious bodily injury to another while driving under the influence.
Moeller was flown to Jersey Shore University Medical Center where he was placed on life support and had to have one of his legs amputated.…
Kimberly Pankratius Charged After Running Down Woman Who Stole Her Walmart Parking SpotNovember 6, 2014 at 8:12 am by Morbid
NEBRASKA – Kimberly Pankratius is facing two felony charges after she lost her cool in a Wal-Mart parking lot and hit a fellow customer with her PT Cruiser because they too her parking spot.
Pankratius, 36, got angry when a couple pulled into a parking space she'd been waiting for. She called them "douche bags" before driving off to find another spot. At this point, I'm with Pankratius. Having a spot taken from you can be infuriating, even if it was done unintentionally.
But Pankratius couldn't let it go and turned her vehicle around and speeded toward the couple as they were walking towards the store. Pankratius says she only meant to scare them, but she allegedly came within inches of the man and hit the woman, 40-year-old Julie Weakly, with her driver's side mirror.
Weakly didn't need medical treatment, but even so, Pankratius' actions were as unacceptable as they were illegal. She was quickly identified by police via her license tag and was cooperative with police once contacted.
She admitted to being the driver who hit the woman, saying she "felt really bad about it" and was "really scared." She was arrested and charged with assault and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony – both felonies.…
Kristina Riddell Accused Of Running Over Woman For Reporting Child In Hot CarJuly 31, 2014 at 8:46 am by Morbid
LONGMONT, CO — A Colorado mother jumped from the frying pan into the fire after she ran down a concerned couple who'd called police about her young boy being left in a hot car.
Shannon Dominguez, 43, and her boyfriend, Alan Mason, were leaving the Dollar Tree when they noticed a young boy alone in a locked car in the parking lot and called 911.
"All four windows were rolled up. And it was in the direct sun. It scares the heck out of me. It's some innocent child might die," said Dominguez.
As she was on the phone with police, the boy's mother, 27-year-old Kristina Riddell, approached them and became very angry. She punched Mason before jumping in her car.
Riddell backed her Honda up, hitting Dominguez and running over her leg. She then hit Mason, who went over the hood of the car before grabbing on to Riddell's door.
"She had her windows down, so I grabbed onto the door. She drug me about 20 feet. I realized she was not going to stop, so I let go.…
Man Charged With Murder After Intentionally Running Over Pregnant WomanJune 27, 2014 at 11:14 am by Morbid
DOUGLASVILLE, GA – Police have charged 23-year-old Dewey Green with murder after they say he intentionally ran over a pregnant woman.
Police say 53-year-old Janice Pitts was in her Lincoln Navigator with her daughter and grandson when Green repeatedly hit her from behind with his truck while she was sitting at a traffic light.
When Pitts got out to check the damage, Green rammed his truck into her and pinned her body between their two vehicles. Pitts' daughter, Iesha Davis, says she got out and tried to get Green to back his truck up.
"I'm banging on the window, 'Please, you're crushing my mom, you're crushing my mom. Please, you're crushing my mom. He wouldn't look at me, He kept his face straight and kept his foot down on the gas,'" said Davis.
When Green finally backed up, Pitts fell to the road and Green ran over her crushed body as he drove over the median, went across a grassy knoll and ended up sideways across a road where witnesses were able to stop him.…
Alleged Drunk Hit Cyclist, Drove Home With Victim Wedged Between Spoiler And WindowDecember 19, 2013 at 3:43 am by Gaucha
Fort Lauderdale, FL – Axel Esteban Inostroza, 27, is in custody after allegedly hitting 53-year-old cyclist Craig Camlin, and driving away with the victim still stuck to his vehicle.
Early Monday morning, Camlin went on what he thought would be a nice bike ride, only to be hit from behind by a vehicle matching the description of Inostroza's black Ford Mustang. After impact, police say, Camlin hit the front windshield, rolled over the roof of the car, and landed onto the back windshield where he was wedged between the window and the spoiler.
Inostroza is said to have then driven for another two miles before dumping the injured man in a wooded area behind a dumpster. After that, he did what every normal person does after an accident — he went home and took a nap.
A few hours later, a landscaping crew found the man clinging to life. 911 was called and Camlin was taken to the hospital. His body temperature was so low when they got to him that if he hadn't been found when he was, it's likely he wouldn't have survived.…
Man Kidnapped, Ran Over Teen After She Refused To Have SexSeptember 24, 2013 at 10:18 am by Morbid
UMATILLA, FL – Florida police say a man kidnapped a 14-year-old girl, strangled her and drove over her with his SUV after she refused to have sex with him for money.
According to police, Adrian Mendez became angry when the teen refused his $200 offer for sex. Not taking no for an answer, Mendez pulled the teen into his Ford Explorer by her hair, then strangled her until she lost consciousness.
About 90 minutes later, someone watched as Mendez intentionally backed over the girl with his vehicle and then sped forward, spinning the tires on her body.
"He was on top of her with the vehicle. And I started screaming at him. He backed up, he literally backed up and hit her again and he went to take off because he heard us screaming at him," said Shane Green, who had been outside barbecuing. "He hit his brakes and was spinning his tires on top of that little girl."
When police arrived on the scene, they found the girl on the side of the road. …
Questions Surround Suspicious Death Of Teen Found Dead In Middle Of RoadJuly 16, 2013 at 10:51 am by Morbid
PAYSON, UT – Police have few clues regarding the death of Nathan Tyler Haun, the 17-year-old found dead in the middle of the road after a fight at a party.
Haun's body was found by a motorist around 5:30 a.m. Saturday, lying in the middle of Arrowhead Trail between Salem and Payson. An autopsy would later reveal Haun died as a result of being hit by a car.
"There was a significant amount of trauma that was very extensive from head to toe," Sgt. Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff's Department said. "There was no chance of survival."
Haun was last seen at a house party Friday night, but the group of teens are keeping their mouths shut and their parents have already hired attorneys. Investigators believe these teens know what lead to Hauns death, but are trying to stay out of trouble, possibly because of underage drinking.
"They're not only not cooperating with us, they're being very uncooperative, so what we're really not getting the detail we need from the people we think know what happened," said Cannon.…
Disabled Man Killed After Group Of Teens Push Him Into Path Of VehicleJune 13, 2013 at 11:51 am by Morbid
Dallas, TX – Two 14-year-olds have been arrested in connection to the murder of 61-year-old Sam Morris, a disabled man who was pushed into the path of a hit-and-run driver.
Detectives told Sam's brother that Sam was attacked Saturday night by a group of teens as he walked home from a convenience store. The 61-year-old had diabetes and a limp, making an easy target for the teens who tried to rob him.
Sam tried fighting back by swinging his grocery bag at his attackers but got hit in the head and then killed by a hit-and-run driver after the teens pushed him into the street. Police found Sam unconscious in the road, but he died of his injuries on the way to hospital.
Police say they have arrested two 14-year-olds and are still looking for a 13-year-old and another 14-year-old. People who live in the are say the neighborhood is usually safe, but that teens roaming the streets at night have become a problem. Sam's brother said the teens regularly harass the elderly in the neighborhood.…
Alleged Drunk Runs Man Down, Calls 911 To Report Damage To CarMay 10, 2013 at 2:15 am by Jaded
Phoenix, AZ — A 24-year-old Phoenix woman was taken into custody Sunday after she allegedly mowed a pedestrian down, then called police to report that an "unknown suspect" had damaged her car.
According to police, a 51-year-old man had been walking mid-block in the curb lane when Kristen Suggs plowed into him. Suggs then apparently fled the scene and called 911 to report that an "unknown suspect" threw an "unknown object" at her car, causing extensive damage.
By that time, medical personnel had responded to the scene of the "accident" and pronounced the man dead. His name has not yet been released.
When officers arrived to take Suggs' report on the damage to her vehicle, they determined the damage was consistent with a recent vehicle/pedestrian collision, and she was placed under arrest.
Suggs was booked into jail and charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident. Police have reason to believe she was intoxicated at the time of the collision and DUI charges are pending.
I see a meme in this woman's future.…
Jamie Frecks Was Killed After Falling Out Of Bachelorette Party Bus On I-35May 6, 2013 at 12:30 pm by Morbid
KANSAS CITY, KS – On the same night five women burned to death inside a limo while celebrating a bachelorette party in California, Jamie Frecks died after falling out of a party bus while celebrating a bachelorette party in Kansas.
Frecks and 15 girlfriends were riding in the Midnight Express Party Bus when Frecks somehow fell out the emergency door and landed on I-35. Three vehicles then hit Fecks, two of which drove away from the scene. The 26-year-old, who just gave birth to her daughter six weeks ago, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A passenger in the second car that struck Frecks said there just wasn't enough time to avoid hitting Frecks' body. Highway patrol are investigating how the vehicle's emergency door opened, and are also looking for the drivers of the two vehicles that hit Frecks but drove off. If you have any information about the two drivers who left, call them or the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.
Frecks' friends and family are holding a fundraiser on Wednesday in Loose Park.…
Mahmoud Arabi Dies After Being Struck By Hit And Run DriverMarch 21, 2013 at 1:05 pm by Morbid
Orlando, FL – One of our readers has a relative who knew 22-year-old Mahmoud Arabi and asked if we would help get the word out about his death.
Mahmoud Arabi was killed after being struck by a hit-and-run driver as he crossed an Orlando intersection early Monday morning. Arabi was from Australia and taking part in the Disney exchange program, a program that allows young students from around the world to get on-the-job experience at Disney theme parks.
"The victim was crossing with two other people and unfortunately they were crossing against the light," said Sergeant Kim Montes of the Florida Highway Patrol.
Arabi was wearing his Disney uniform when he was struck by the car and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but died on Wednesday shortly after his mother arrived from Australia.
Knowing my luck, had I been the one that got hit, I would've died in Florida dressed as fucking Goofy.
Even though it wasn't necessarily the driver's fault, and the driver had the green light at the time of impact, they chose to flee the scene after the accident.…
Girl, 13, Accused Of Killing Bicyclist While Drag Racing In Stolen CarAugust 17, 2012 at 3:10 pm by Morbid
Milwaukee, WI — Police have arrested a 13-year-old girl who they say was behind the wheel of the stolen car that struck and killed a bicyclist earlier this month. If you are to believe some of the witness statements, this girl joins the gang of the more callous, apathetic juveniles we have featured on this site in the past.
The girl had been out with friends stealing cars throughout the night when, at around 6:35 a.m, she and another girl where in a stolen Dodge Neon drag racing with two males in a stolen Chrysler minivan. The girl ended up hitting and killing 57-year-old Ronald Forbes, who had been riding his bicycle to work as he did every day.
Witnesses say that after the crash, the two girls got of the Neon and jumped into the minivan with the two boys before fleeing the scene. Using fingerprints obtained from the Neon and the minivan later found abandoned, they were able to track down the 13-year-old driver who hit Forbes. She was with other girls in yet another stolen car.…
Man Dies In Crash After Running Over His WifeJuly 11, 2012 at 10:25 am by Morbid
HESPERIA, CA — A man in California died in a car crash shortly after running over his wife.
Police say 34-year-old Kenneth Amaya Jr. and his wife were arguing outside of their GMC Yukon after pulling over to the side of the road. Moments later, Amaya jumped back into the SUV and drove away, running over his wife in the process.
She was airlifted to the hospital in critical condition with extensive injuries but was able to tell police who had run her over. Police believed Amaya had attempted to kill his wife and immediately began searching for him.
They didn't have to search for too long, and he didn't put up much of a fight, as he was found dead off of Interstate 15.
The California Highway Patrol says Amaya was speeding down the interstate when he lost control of the vehicle. He veered to the right and crashed into a metal guardrail. Amaya was not wearing a seat belt so his passenger, Karma, had no problems booting his ass out of the SUV as it continued through the barrier and went rolling down a steep embankment.…
Woman Accused Killing Her Boyfriend With A Honda AccordJuly 3, 2012 at 8:21 am by Morbid
TUXEDO, NC — Police have charged 24-year-old Morgan Bishop with murder after police say she intentionally ran down her boyfriend with her Honda Accord.
Police were dispatched to U.S. 176 in East Flat Rock Friday night after a call was made to 911 regarding the body of a man found on the side of the road. Police were able to identify the man as 45-year-old Roger Moody and concluded he had been a victim of a hit-and-run.
When investigators went to his home to notify his next of kin, they found Bishop there along with the Honda Accord she had been driving earlier that night. Police examined the vehicle and were able to determine it had been the one that struck and killed Moody. After questioning Bishop, they arrested her and charged her with murdering Moody.
The couple have a history of domestic issues throughout their two year relationship with both calling 911 on each other in the past. On the day Moody was killed, the couple had gotten into yet another fight that had Moody leaving the residence on foot.…
Teen Facing Attempted Murder Charges After Driving Into CrowdApril 9, 2012 at 9:53 am by Morbid
St. Petersburg, FL — A teenager in Florida is facing murder charges after being accused of intentionally driving her car into a crowd of people.
According to reports, 18-year-old Shatavia Hall and her sister were involved in an outdoors fight with several other people.
After the fight broke up, police say that Hall and her sister got into a Pontiac Grand Am which Hall drove over a curb and into a yard and toward a group of at least five people who had remained after the fight.
Some were able to jump out of the way, but three others were not as lucky and were struck by Hall. Othel Dawson, 70, was hit along with his 13-year-old grandson who was flipped over the vehicle. Another child was also hit, but no one suffered any serious injuries.
Witnesses say Hall could be heard laughing as she drove away from the scene. Police would arrest her an hour later at her home. She has been charged with three counts of attempted murder.…
Bus Driver, Teen Honored For Stopping Hit-And-Run DriverApril 6, 2012 at 3:27 pm by kniption
Bethlehem, PA – After an unnamed 17-year-old driver hit a bicyclist and attempted to flee, his quick apprehension by a city bus driver and another motorist was caught on tape.
Bicyclist Frank Pavlick, 50, was hit Monday afternoon by the teen driver while riding in the northbound lanes of the Fahy Bridge.
"The … guy didn't even try to pass me," Pavlick said. "It was an explosion, literally. The tire exploded, the rim exploded."
Video shows that immediately after the impact, the car driver sped off. Up ahead was a LANTA municipal bus. The bus driver, seeing the accident behind him, maneuvered his vehicle to stop the fleeing driver. A second driver then boxed him in from behind after checking to see if Pavlick was ok.
Bethlehem Police Commissioner Jason Schiffer and Mayor John Callahan honored the two men responsible for detaining the hit-and-run driver. Those men, Richard Gubish Jr., 43, and Jud Smull, 17, were commended for their quick thinking. Pavlick, the rider, expressed his gratitude to both men.…

I made an amendment to fix a bug in the output of this (created via shortcodes.php in the lib directory).
The plugin couldn't read amperhsands (&) in the RSS feed, so that when I was trying to get it to read RSS feeds of categories created by WordPress it was simply returning the whole lot.
I changed
$rss = @fetch_rss( $id );
$rss = @fetch_rss( str_replace('\&\#\3\8\;','&',$id) );
(without the backslashes)
And it works properly. Obviously this is a quick'n'dirty fix, and you may want to loo at a more elegant way to handle ampersands in the RSS feed.

The County's $4.2 billion in debt makes this the largest municipal bankruptcy in US history. As we explained in an article that we published on April 4, 2011, we believed that a Jefferson County bankruptcy would be a unique situation and not a "precursor to a wave of municipal bankruptcies or defaults that will sweep the nation."

Business Model Canvas
Dave Grow
The Business Model Canvas is a strategic management tool, which allows teams to develop and sketch out new or existing business models. It is a visual template pre-formatted with the nine blocks of a business model. The Business Model Canvas can be used to jointly start sketching and discussing business model elements with comment notes. It is a collaborative tool that fosters understanding, discussion, creativity, and analysis. The Business Model Canvas was initially proposed by Alexander Osterwalder based on his earlier work on Business Model Ontology. For more: (http://businessmodelgeneration.com)

This man is so funny and very nice
he's a great dr. I went for a breast reduction and he answered all my questions and explained everything to me. I had a couple more questions and I emailed him which he called me personally and answered all of them. I'm looking forward and feel confident about my upcoming surgery
I've had to live with the terrible outcome of breast reduction that this doctor did. I'll regret having it done by this man the rest of my life.
I went to see Dr. Alghanem in late 2013 about having the size of my implants reduced. I initially had a very good feeling about the doctor during my first two consultations and booked my surgery with him. I had an appointment just a few days prior to the surgery to have some final discussion about the size. During this last appointment, I was made to feel rushed and became very uneasy. Dr. Alghanem was wanting ME to pick the right and left size prior to the surgery. I kept trying to explain that it seemed like he should be making this determination during the surgery using his judgement, I couldn't pick out what R & L sizes would look even in my body ahead of time. He really dismissed my questions/concerns and made me feel rushed to make a decision. After leaving the office and having severe anxiety over this last appointment I cancelled this surgery and ended up having the surgery performed by someone else in January 2014. As I expected, the other surgeon I went to did not require me to pick the exact right and left sizes and explained that he would use his (and his nurses') judgement to make them look even during the procedure. So, I cannot say how the surgery would have turned out with Dr. Alghanem, but I am very happy with my results from the other doctor and felt more comfortable going into it.
March 31st, 2013 Dr. Alghanem performed my breast reduction. He was very professional and I found him to have a great sense of humor. he answered all my questions and addressed all my fears. I was very plesed with the way my breasta turned out. They are beautiful and I am very happy! I would recommend Dr. Alghanem to everyone! Thank you Doc!
He was so nice when i went in. He spent so much time talking to me and answered all of my questions and didn't rush me at all. His staff was very kind too. I showed up early to all of my appointments and was able to get in well before my appointment time. My surgery went well, I had no complications what so ever. The only bad thing I have to say is that he wasnt there after my surgery for me to get ahold of him because he went on vacation however, his staff did offer me a different surgeons number if I had any questions. I would definitely recommend him to my friends or family.
this dr. was very nice, kind, and quite caring. i enjoyed going to him. his staff is wonderful
He was born to be a surgeon. He is the best. Professional and Compassionate! He cares. I have been to him twice and love is work...its Art!!!DM
i think dr alghanem is a very good doctor he did my breast reduction back in 20032 and hopefully i will be going to him very soon for my tummy tuck
This man made me fear doctors. I went to him in 1997 for a consultation about reconstructive surgery and he was arrogant, rude to me about my body and hurt me physically, while telling me to stop being such a baby. I was there because another surgery I had undergone went terribly wrong and I was in extreme pain, both physically and emotionally from that experience as it was. He added insult to injury, was terribly inconsiderate and rough and I ended up leaving his office in excruciating pain and crying uncontrollably (and I am NOT prone to breaking down). I would not recommend this man to anyone and would rather be disfigured than have someone like that operate on me.
I am not one to say cosmetic surgery is good. I dont believe God gave me this face so I could change it.. But if you need to - Dr. Alghanem is certified by the American Board of Plastic surgery, the Lipopasticy Society of North America and ...

Malone, Caroline, Stoddart, Simon, Antiquity
* Archaeologists have known for some time that the most successful monuments have many layers of history embedded, not only in their structure, but in their built environment (Bradley 1993). The Tate Modern in London, opened on 11 May 2000, expresses the same principle in modern art. This archaeologically tested formula implemented at Tate Modern has proved to be a much more successful arena of political performance for the elite, and attraction to the `people', than the other reclaimed flat brownfield site further down the River Thames at Greenwich, the site of the notorious Dome. Southwark on the south bank of the Thames, as partly explained by the Tate Modern Handbook (Massey 2000), has a long history. We need to turn to the Reports of the Surrey Archaeological Society to gain a fuller account of over three metres of history in this general area of the south bank of London; an important peat deposit, a Beaker settlement and a major presence in the Roman period from about AD 50. The second phase of Roman construction in the 3rd century produced imposing stone buildings (Sheldon 1978) which presaged the buildings of `several magnates, ecclesiastical and lay ... [who] competed with representatives of the King, the City and the county of Surrey to exercise some control over the area' (Turner 1987: 251) (see p. 463). One of these, the Bishop of Winchester's residence, has had much `excavation' since the 1828 antiquarian beginnings. A more recent monument was the Bankside power station which Giles Gilbert Scott built to mirror the powerful monument of St Paul's Cathedral to the north of the river. It is the power station that has become the reclaimed monument. The structure had lain idle between its decommissioning and the initiation of an inspired idea of re-use. This resurrected building has now provided the successful location for an experiment in modern art and architecture. Archaeology revealed evidence of Chaucerian pilgrims (pewter and silver badges to record their devotion). The new religion of modern art has already produced a new set of pilgrims, enticed into the extensive gift and bookshop to gather their souvenirs.
Furthermore, this site has provided a shrine for a new trend in museology. Recent displays from both art and archaeology have turned away from chronological schemes towards what Nicholas Serota describes as `promoting different modes and levels of "interpretation" by subtle juxtapositions of "experience"' (Serota 1996). The new displays in the prehistory section of the National Museum of Scotland collapsed chronology to address themes (ANTIQUITY 73 (1999): 485-6). This same model has been attempted in the Tate Modern, addressing themes of Landscape, Matter, Environment; Still Life, Object, Real Life; History, Memory, Society; Nude, Action, Body. In some themes there is a convergence between the trends of modern art and archaeology, in others they are foreign worlds. The theme of History, Memory, Society sounded promising and we were tempted to launch ourselves directly onto the fifth floor. Once we arrived, the convergence was, however, disappointing. The closest link was tenuous: an attack -- by association with the apartheid regime in South Africa -- on an icon of archaeological research, the Landrover (a 4-wheel drive vehicle of British origin, until recently of German and now American ownership). History here is very recent, dare we say superficial, and Society modern. Nude, Action, Body turned out to be more promising. There is clear influence of Etruscan sculpture on Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) (see p. 463). His elongated human forms have strikingly similar qualities to bronzes from the town of Volterra in northern Etruria. However, the most promising link theme was within Landscape, Matter, Environment. In one case, this was simply the choice of material. Andreas Gurtsky presents the theme of archaeological landscape in Thebes West (1993), an aerial vision of an archaeological landscape. …

Fandry puts a harsh spotlight on India's caste system
Nagraj Manjule grew up as a Dalit, an untouchable, scorned by a caste system that he says never lets you forget how low you are. The short-film director channeled the shame and the ridicule of his childhood into his first feature film, "Fandry" ("Pig") which won the Jury Grand Prize at the Mumbai Film Festival last month.
The movie is about a Dalit schoolboy named Jabya (Somnath Awghade) who lives on the outskirts of a village and struggles against the caste system by daring to dream, and eventually rebelling against the perpetrators of that system.
Movie Review: Krrish 3
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
Rakesh Roshan's third film in the "Krrish" superhero franchise is the film you have been waiting for. It has world-class special effects, some brilliant acting, and a plot so gripping it will keep you entranced for two-and-a-half hours.
I am kidding, of course. There's nothing of the sort in "Krrish 3".
The tacky CGI animation — characters flying through walls and catching planes mid-air — reminds you of the special effects in Ramanand Sagar's "Ramayan" television series two decades ago. Lead actor Hrithik Roshan twitches his facial muscles in his attempt to play an annoying old man, while flexing his biceps to play a younger avatar. And instead of a credible story, the plot of "Krrish 3" involves, among other things, a pen that captures the sun's rays and brings the dead to life.
Bollywood banks on superhero saga "Krrish 3″
Actor Hrithik Roshan returns as Krrish this Friday in the third instalment of the namesake film series, which pits the Indian superhero against a new villain out to destroy the world. "Krrish 3" opens two days before Diwali, India's festival of lights and traditionally a time of Bollywood blockbuster movie premieres.
The film, made for an estimated 800 million rupees ($13 million), is coming out in 3,600 movie screens across India — a record — and is expected to pull in crowds with Hollywood-style special effects and a healthy dose of Indian "family values".
Documentary captures Indian cricket's lesser-known faces
Prithvi Shaw is 14 and looks like any other schoolboy at first glance. But those who have seen him wield a cricket bat call him India's next Sachin Tendulkar. They say he's as natural and as powerful in his stroke play as the world's most famous batsman was at that age. Shaw started playing when he was three, going up against people more than twice his age.
"He was shorter than the stumps he used to bat in front of," Shaw's father said.
Singer Manna Dey dies at 94
Singer Manna Dey, whose versatile voice charmed fans of Bollywood cinema for more than 60 years, died in Bangalore on Thursday, a hospital spokesman said. He was 94.
He had been suffering from a lung ailment for several months.
Dey was part of the golden era of Bollywood, when Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar reigned supreme, and carved a niche for himself with his lilting, husky voice.
Costa-Gavras prefers Bollywood fantasy to American action
Filmmaker Costa-Gavras, best known for the 1969 political thriller "Z", has documented prickly themes such as dictatorship, dissent and oppression over the past half-century.
"Z", which won the Oscar for best foreign film, was a fictionalized account of the assassination of Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis and inspired the 2012 Bollywood film "Shanghai".
Documentary 'Katiyabaaz' shines spotlight on India's power shortage
A documentary about a power thief, the government official who tries to stop him, and the larger story about the lack of power and infrastructure in India's small towns is making news at the Mumbai Film Festival.
"Katiyabaaz" (Powerless) chronicles the clash between Loha Singh, a Robin Hood-style power thief who claims to be the best in the business, and Ritu Maheshwari, a government official who is determined to stop power theft in the industrial town of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh.
Movie Review: Shahid
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
The best thing about Hansal Mehta's "Shahid" is that the filmmaker tries to tell a fascinating story. In a way, it is the story of the city of Mumbai — beginning with the riots that followed the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, and leading up to the attack on Mumbai that killed 166 people in 2008.
These events are depicted through the real-life story of Shahid Azmi, a teenager who gets caught up in the Mumbai riots, and a few months later, finds himself in Pakistan at a training camp for militants. A disillusioned Azmi returns to India but is tortured and imprisoned under the country's anti-terror laws.
Movie Review: Boss
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters)
There are some movies that are worth your time and money and the effort of writing about them. And then there are movies like "Boss."
Anthony D'Souza and his team have obviously put in minimal effort in making this film and they don't expect audiences to exercise their brains either. Juvenile jokes abound and slow-motion shots of Akshay Kumar running and slamming the villain's head into the ground make up about half the film.
