The Six Degrees of Tom Cruise
Yes, we're back on the bandwagon. He may be in the news for scaling the Burj Khalifa, but how will we connect him to UAE royalty via the boss of Rivoli?

Diane Kruger
Probably best known for portraying Helen in the epic Troy opposite Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger's initial plans were quite different from joining the A-list of Hollywood. German born Diane Kruger initially intended to become a dancer. Though she studied at the Royal Ballet in London, an early injury destroyed her hopes of joining the world of dance. Instead she took to modeling and found she was quite successful at it. At the age of 15 she became a finalist for the Look of the Year contest. As Kruger's modeling career took off, she began to model for Dolce & Gabbana, Vogue and Elle, till finally she began dabbling in movies, getting her big break with Troy. Since then she has acted in a series of successful Hollywood films including Wicker Park, National Treasure and Inglorious Bastards. Kruger, who endorses several brands, is the brand ambassador of Jaeger-LeCoultre and has thus met with Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO …

Banks see merit in refinancing loans
Mar 03 2014 , Mumbai
The existing norms on project loans make it mandatory to classify a loan as restructured if there is change in repayment schedule.
RK Saraf, deputy MD and CFO of SBI, said, "The intent is very good, we need to see how it can be implemented. Banks will be encouraged to take up project loans, but we need to see at what stage the loans are taken over by the banks and whether the banks will bear the risk at the implementation stage. Also, when it is taken over by some other agency, if banks will be compensated."
Banks can now refinance any existing infrastructure and other project loans by way of takeout financing, even without a pre-determined agreement with other banks and financial institutions, and fix a longer repayment period.
These loans will not be considered as restructured if such loans are standard accounts in the books of existing banks, and should have not been restructured in the past. Such loans should be substantially taken over (more than 50 per cent of the outstanding loan by value) from the existing financing banks or financial institutions. The repayment period should be fixed by taking into account the life cycle of the project and cash flows from the project.
A senior official from India Infrastructure Finance Company (IIFCL) said, "The guidelines, however, do not specify the time when the loan can be taken over and makes it mandatory to take over more than 50 per cent of the outstanding loan. We need to see how many banks will have those."
According to the existing guidelines on 'takeout finance', banks can refinance their existing infrastructure project loans by entering into takeout financing agreements with any financial institution on a pre-determined basis. If there is no pre-determined agreement, a standard account in the books of a bank can still be taken over by other banks/FIs, subject to RBI guidelines on transfer of borrowal accounts from one bank, according to the new guidelines.
Analyst firm Espirito Santo said in a note, "This is extremely positive for the industry as more banks will try to refinance existing loans given their ALM mismatches. Few organisations like IIFCL are more keen on takeout loans as of now and this will improve the balancesheets of the banks.

Be The Signal, Not The NoisePosted by Loki on Feb 3, 2010 in Online PR, Social Media | 2 comments
Sometimes your run across something in your twitter stream that just makes you immediately unfollow that person. Many times this is caused by political or religious content, other times it is the dreaded sledge hammer like barrage of sales pitches.
Now I'd be the last one to say brands and businesses should not use social media, but I would suggest developing some basic familiarity with it before diving in. Case in point: I had recently followed a small business on twitter. I was already interested in them and went into it knowing that a lot of the content would probably be broadcast style (i.e. all projecting outwards rather than being interactive and personal). I had opted in and was good with it.
Then I discovered that every few hours or so I would be barraged with about 15-20 tweets in a row from this account, effectively clogging my twitter stream each time. What made it even worse was discovering that this biz has several different twitter accounts that would each send out burst content like this. As you may imagine a rapid series of unfollows occurred.
Think about what the people seeing your content see. Ten tweets for ten different products sent out that rapidly can completely block up some-one's tweet stream. Is this the type of thing you would want to see when logging into your account? It's like the guy at the really great party who wants to talk to you about insurance, even if you need a policy the barrage of sales talk will likely turn you off. Even just spacing these out more instead of ten at a time bursts would be an acceptable alternative.
This also brings to mind one or to other things you can do to get more out of twitter:
- When tweeting content you want to go viral via ReTweets you should leave about 15 characters empty at the end. This leaves room for the "[email protected]" that gets added on. Most people will not take the time to edit your tweet down in order to share it, so if you don't do this you miss an opportunity.
- We all use URL shorteners to make links fit in our tweets. Double-check yours and make sure you have not cut off the last letter or two of the link by accident. Remember that if the link is broken it drives no traffic.
See, now wasn't that easy? There is a ton of "noise" on most social media channels, these simple steps will help you in not accidentally becoming part of it.

A joke is "an antic, a caper, mischief, prank, trick, quip, witticism." (TNG: "The Outrageous Okona") It can also be described as "a story with a humorous climax." (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home) Or as "a verbal comment or gesture designed to provoke laughter." (VOY: "Drone")
In 2365, upon meeting Thadiun Okona, Data, unaware of the true meaning of "what 'funny' is" made it his mission to learn with the assistance of The Comic and Guinan. (TNG: "The Outrageous Okona")
Both Data and Wesley Crusher fell victim to several practical jokes while at Starfleet Academy. (TNG: "The Game")
When Wesley Crusher made a visit on the USS Enterprise-D in 2370, Data greeted him with a joke and said, "A cadet is on board, we should call the security." Data later tried to clarify that he intended to make a joke and meant no ill. (TNG: "Journey's End")
While Vulcans are not unable to apprehend the concept of jokes, they find them unnecessary and difficult to comprehend. During their encounter with the dream-world aliens, the USS Voyager crew all suffered from nightmares. When B'Elanna Torres, Tom Paris, Harry Kim, and Neelix recounted theirs, they wondered what the nearby Vulcan Tuvok's dream was. Neelix suggested elements of a Vulcan nightmare might include being stranded on a planet in which the only form of communication is laughter. During most of Voyager's journey, Neelix made it his goal to make Tuvok laugh. (VOY: "Waking Moments"; et. al)
- "This gentleman went to see his surgeon and was informed that he needed an operation. The man thought about that and then said, "I would like a second opinion." The doctor said, "Okay, you are ugly too"."
- "You know I come from a town so small it had a fraction for a zip code. It was so small in fact that it didn't have a godfather of crime, it had a nephew."
- "I was so ugly as a child they hung a pork chop around my neck so the dog would play with me."
- "Then there was the gene bank where they crossed a lion and a parrot. They weren't sure what they got, but when it spoke, they listened."

In 2154, Trip Tucker told a joke to a pair of Tellarite ambassadors which ended with:
- "So he says, 'Well, I'm not really a pilot.'"
They did not understand it.
In early 2364 Data told Geordi La Forge the following joke:
- "A man goes to a store to buy some kidneys. He says to the shopkeeper, "I'd like a pound of kiddillies, please." The shopkeeper says to him, "You mean kidneys, don't you?" The man says, "I said kiddillies, diddle I?"
La Forge didn't find the joke funny, as it was too old and Data "didn't tell it very well", however, Data mispronounced "kidneys" again while trying to explain the joke, eliciting a laugh from La Forge. (TNG: "Code of Honor")
In late 2364, La Forge told Data a joke with the following punchline:
- "So the guy staggers to his feet and goes back to the girl. She smiles, looks him straight in the eyes and says: "Just try that in hyperspace!"." (TNG: "Conspiracy")
In order to cheer him up, Doctor Beverly Crusher told the following joke to Willie Potts:
- "You heard the old story about the man who goes to his doctor? He says: "It hurts when I raise my arm like this!" The doctor says: "So don't raise your arm like that!"" (TNG: "Brothers")
In 2367, Commander William T. Riker told the bridge crew, including Ensign Kellogg a joke with the following punchline:
- "Then just as the headsman swings the axe and the blade is about to fall, the count says: "Wait, wait, I'll talk!", but it was too late. And the moral to the story is: Never hatchet your counts before they chicken."
Data was fascinated by Riker's sense of humor and thought it was one reason why the commander was so popular among the crew. (TNG: "Data's Day")
A joke Mot told his colleague Setti in 2368 ended in:
- "...and then she said: "If they're not squirming, we won't eat them.""
Setti didn't find the joke too funny. (TNG: "Schisms")
One humorous punchline Data recalled, in 2371, from the Farpoint Mission, after the addition of his emotion chip was: "The clown can stay, but the Ferengi in the gorilla suit has to go." (Star Trek Generations)
Quark once told Morn a joke that had the punchline, "And, so, the Andorian says: Your brother? I thought it was your wife!" Morn didn't get the joke immediately, and Quark re-emphasized "...wife" once again, and Morn finally got it and gave the joke a good belly laugh. (DS9: "The Nagus")
Julian Bashir suggested that O'Brien played a joke on him when an affectionate Jadzia Dax was on his bed and Major Kira called the senior staff to ops. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")
Department of Temporal Investigations agent Dulmur asked if Sisko was making a joke when he said his story might take some time. Fellow agent Lucsly backed him up and Dulmur added that they hated those. (DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")

Learn a new way to make beautiful raised panel doors. We'll show you the best tips, techniques, and tools to make doors quickly and easily without expensive panel-raising bits.
To prove that you don't need expensive cutters to make handsome doors, we made the beautiful raised-panel doors, above, using only three common router bits. Because the panels are hardwood-veneer plywood, they weigh less, cost less, and are more stable than doors made from solid stock.

Commandant updates state of Armor, Cavalry
September 18, 2013
By NICK DUKE
FORT BENNING, Ga., (Sept. 18, 2013) -- Less than a week after taking command of the Armor School, new commandant Col. Leopoldo Quintas was on hand at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference to deliver the annual State of Armor and Cavalry address.
Speaking before conference attendees at Marshall Auditorium, Quintas used the address as an opportunity to provide updates on a variety of Armor and Cavalry initiatives.
Those initiatives include plans for a standardized scout platoon, the increased importance of mobile protected precision firepower, the course map for Armor and Cavalry leaders and the need for continued excellence at the Armor School.
The plans for a standardized scout platoon call for platoons of six vehicles and 36 Soldiers, with the platoon capable of conducting both mounted and dismounted operations.
Quintas said the new organization will help to clarify what each platoon is capable of.
"Over time, frankly, we've experienced organizational disarray across our brigade combat teams with regards to how a scout platoon has been formed," he said. "(This platoon is) independent of what kind of vehicle a scout platoon is in. A scout will go from formation to formation, and it'll be uniform. It recognizes that we conduct reconnaissance both dismounted and mounted, and that provides enough capacity here to execute that."
Quintas also addressed the uncertainty facing the Army as operations in Afghanistan draw to a close.
He said he has reached out to previous Armor commandants for advice as the Army faces downward budgetary pressure.
"As they were quick to remind me, there is nothing new to what we are trying to do here at the Armor School," he said. "Most of it is challenges and problems that have been addressed through this Army and through the Armor and Cavalry force over time."
In addition to budgetary and manpower concerns, Quintas said finding ways to continue to motivate Soldiers will be important.
"How do we continue to provide excellence in all that we do?" he asked. "We've had the ultimate incentive … through competitive activity in combat. How do we promote that excellence as we move forward?"
Quintas said the Armor School will help to promote that excellence by implementing the Maneuver Leader Development Strategy and the Maneuver Self-Study Program.
"I just want to highlight that the self-study program is not done by yourself, and with the tools that are available now, we now are able to have leadership interaction with our subordinates to develop an intricate plan on how an individual is going to perform self-study," he said. "There are tools available to us and we should embrace that here."
Armor School Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Clemens also spoke about the school's reconnaissance and security instruction efforts, including the plans for establishment of a School of Reconnaissance and Security.
"We've taken the three reconnaissance schools that we have here and we've not only co-located them under one squadron headquarters, but we are going to physically locate them in the same compound," Clemens said. "This allows us to not only share ideas and best practices, but to have an instructor base across the full spectrum of reconnaissance operations that is able to interact with each other and students who are able to interact with each other and share their experiences so we have a better reconnaissance Soldier at the end."

Madera's newest discount retailer offered customers $500, tote bags, snacks and store specials during its grand opening.
Dollar General, 1200 S. Madera Ave., boasts an inventory of more than 10,000 items in which at least 1,900 are priced at $1 or less, said store manager Marissa Montelongo.

The Daily Agenda for Wednesday, March 6

March 6th, 2013
Frat Boys Don Drag for Anti-Bullying Awareness: Washington, D.C. Twenty Greek chapters are joining Allied in Pride, George Washington University's largest LGBT organization, for a drag contest. The goal, in addition to being a fundraiser for The Trevor Project and its work in preventing LGBT youth suicide, is to send the message that it is possible for students to be gay and Greek. "It's to support, whether they're out or not, the LGBT members of our community," Interfraternity Council President Casey Wood said. "And I think it's a great way to embrace that no matter where you come from or who you are, there's always a place in Greek life for you." Pi Kappa Phi president Trey O'Callaghan said, "Our participation in the Allied in Pride event is our way of demonstrating that GW Greek life stands behind the LGBT community." Contestants from eleven fraternities will strut their straight-boy frat drag stuff at 7:00 p.m. this evening at Lisner Auditorium. I expect to see photos on Tumblr by ten.
Events This Weekend: Belgian Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, Brussels, Belgium; Ft. Lauderdale Pride, Ft. Lauderdale, FL; AIDS Walk, Houston, TX; Lake Tahoe Winterfest, Lake Tahoe, NV; SWING Gay Ski Week, Lenzerheide, Switzerland.
"Lewd Behavior Upon a Bed": 1649. Court records from Puritan colonies indicate that authorities appeared to have been reluctant to prosecute crimes based on homosexuality, if the scarcity of such records is any indication. But court records also show that Plymouth Colony was considerably less reluctant, given that its court records report quite a handful of cases (for example, see Aug 6, Mar 1). The colony's statute called for the death penalty for "buggery" and "sodomy," which had the effect of only outlawing male homosexuality. As in England, female homosexuality was unmentioned. But that didn't prevent the Plymouth Colony from prosecuting one case of lesbian behavior. The court records for Plymouth Colony recorded a very brief notation for March 6, 1649:
We present the wife of Hugh Norman, and Mary Hammon, both of Yarmouth, for lewd behavior each with the other upon a bed.
According to Jonathan Ned Katz's Gay/Lesbian Almanac:
Recent research by J.R. Roberts in the Plymouth manuscript records provides background information on Norman and Hammon. At the time of the above charges Mary Hammon was fifteen years old, and recently married. Sara Norman's age is unknown, but she was apparently somewhat older, as he had been married in 1639. About the time of the court's first charge, 1649, Hugh Norman, Sara's husband, deserted his wife and children.
A marginal note in the Plymouth court record of March 6, 1649 reported that Mary Hammond was "cleared with admonition" — perhaps because of her youth. Sara Normon's case was evidentially held over for later judgment.
…Patriarchal custom was evident in the fact that court records in this case referred to the "wife of Hugh Norman"; although Sara Norman was publicly charged with a serious crime, her whole name was used only once in the documents
On October 2, 1650, the court rendered its judgement and sentence on Sara Norman:
Whereas the wife of Hugh Norman, of Yarmouth, hath stood presented [in] divers Courts for misdemeanor and lewd behavior with Mary Hammon upon a bed, with divers lascivious speeches by her also spoken, but she could not appear by reason of some hindrances unto this Court, the said Court have therefore sentenced her, the said wife of Hugh Norman, for her wild behavior in the aforesaid particulars, to make a public acknowledgment, so far as conveniently may be, of her unchaste behavior, and have also warned her to take heed of such carriages for the future, lest her former carriage come in remembrance against her to make her punishment the greater.

Theater Owner, Producer, Cast of "God of Vengeance" Arrested: 1923. Yiddish theater was a lively component of New York's cultural life in the first part of the twentieth century, even if it did mostly fly mostly under the radar of the city's cognoscenti. Maybe that's why the 1907 production of Sholem Asch's Got Fun Nekome, with its story line about a family who lived above a brothel owned by the father and the budding lesbian relationship between his daughter and one of the prostitutes, managed to go off without a hitch. Not that there was no controversy. The Yiddish press was greatly concerned that the play's "immoral" content would trigger an anti-Semitic backlash if its plot line was noticed by the wider English-speaking city. But no backlash materialized, and the play was a huge success. It went on to be translated into several languages and was well received throughout much of Europe over the next decade.
Sixteen years after its Yiddish premiere, the play returned to New York in an English translation of God of Vengeance. When it made its Broadway debut at the Apollo Theater, it featured the first lesbian love scene on the Great White Way. This time, it was noticed. A month later, detectives showed up backstage during a performance to inform the theater's manager and producer that they and the entire cast had been indicted for presenting an obscene and immoral play. The complaint wasn't that the play had a lesbian them — at least, not directly — but that the lesbian theme in a Jewish play libeled the Jewish religion and was anti-Semitic. The Judge agreed, calling the play a "desecration of the sacred scrolls of the Torah," in reference to the scrolls the father in the play commissioned, in vain, to protect the purity of his daughter. The entire cast was found guilty, but only the Harry Weinberger, the producer, and Rudolph Schildkraut, who played the father, were fined $200 each. Everyone else was let go. The play, which had closed on the night of the indictment, has been revived several times over the years, mostly by Jewish and other repertory companies.

Woman arrested with gun on American Airlines plane
Wednesday, January 18, 2012
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Authorities say that a 65-year-old woman was taken into custody Wednesday after carrying a gun on to an American Airlines plane at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
An airline spokesman said Wednesday that the plane was headed for the runway when it returned to the gate and was met by airport police.
Security screeners detected a handgun in the woman's carry-on bag, but she "picked up the bag and left the checkpoint before the screening process was over," said Greg Soule, a spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, which operates the checkpoints.
Soule said he didn't know if the gun, a .38-caliber revolver, was loaded. He said that when TSA screeners spot a gun in a bag, they are supposed to seize the bag and notify police.
It was not clear how authorities tracked down the woman's flight. It was about an hour and 40 minutes later that she was taken into custody by DFW Airport police, Soule said.
Airport officials declined to talk about the incident but issued a brief written statement saying that the woman would be charged with carrying a gun into a place where weapons are prohibited, a third-degree felony in Texas and punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said the woman was removed from Flight 2385, scheduled to fly to Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport. The flight was delayed for just over an hour and other passengers were screened again before the plane took off, he said.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Gaming Commission is seeking a change in state law that would allow it to impose penalties on cheating players who try to re-enter casinos in the Black Hills gambling town of Deadwood.
The commission already has authority to ban players from casinos for misconduct. But Commission Executive Director Larry Eliason says such bans have been difficult to enforce because there's no penalty for banned players who re-enter casinos.
A bill filed in the Legislature would make it a Class 1 misdemeanor carrying a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $2,000 fine to enter a casino after being banned.
Eliason says the bill was prompted partly by a recent incident in New Jersey, where a player allegedly sneaked fake chips into a poker tournament.

Needleman client indicted on new drug charges
Court records show a 36-year-old man has been indicted by federal prosecutors on two counts of drug distribution, charges that may be fallout from his claims that one of his attorneys was involved in the drug trade.
Jose Joaquin Morales was indicted on Sept. 14, and the charges were unsealed this week. The upshot of the case is unclear - the indictment doesn't go into details of his alleged crimes beyond that the drug dealing occurred in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Texas - but according to various accounts in the CityPaper, the case seems to have been building.
Morales was sentenced to 262 months - or about 22 years - in federal prison by a federal judge in Texas after pleading guilty to charges that he was trying to charter a jet to transport drugs to Baltimore from McAllen, Tex. In that case, a woman identified as his girlfriend, Tiffany Frey, admitted to authorities that she helped smuggle cocaine into Baltimore inside a maternity dress.
The CityPaper reported that Morales tried to tie one of his old attorneys, Stanley Needleman, to the drug trade. At his sentencing hearing in March 2010, federal prosecutors said claims regarding Needleman were baseless. "...We spent four days debriefing Mr. Morales, only just basically to realize that he'd been lying almost the entire time."
But in April, federal agents raided Needleman's home and law office, where they found $1 million in cash stuffed into a safe. Needleman was charged through criminal information on Aug. 16, and pleaded guilty to tax evasion on Sept. 1. Morales was indicted two weeks later.
Calls to Morales' attorney were not immediately returned. He is charged in the case along with a woman named Terry L. Sadler, a woman who state court records indicate he has sparred with over child support and paternity.

A roundup of news from the Business section during the past week
San Onofre plans to downsize workforce
The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, which has been closed since January because of a radioactive leak and the degradation of newly replaced steam generators, plans to cut 730 employees.
"The steam generator issues at SONGS also require that SCE be prudent with its future spending while SCE and regulators review the long-term viability of the nuclear plant," said Southern California Edison, the majority owner of the plant. About 1,500 workers remain at the plant.
Sotera's ViSi mobile tracker system OK'd
Sotera Wireless received government approval for its ViSi Mobile System, which continuously tracks patients' vital signs while they move around in a hospital and transmits the data to caregivers.
Worn on the wrist by patients, the device is about twice the size of a watch. Its display screen can be programmed to show all the core vitals, including the patient's temperature, pulse and heart rate. Palomar Health, Sotera's first customer, will use the device in its newly opened Palomar Medical Center in Escondido. Sotera did not say how much the device would cost.
Foreclosures tick up in San Diego County
The number of foreclosures in San Diego County ticked up in July but is still lower than its pre-recession peak, DataQuick reported. The county in July recorded 452 foreclosures, up 3.4 percent from June but down more than 43 percent from a year ago. Putting the month-to-month bump aside, the number of foreclosures has experienced 22 straight months of year-over-year drops. Also, last month's foreclosure figure is the lowest for a July in six years and is far below the peak of 2,004 recorded in July 2008.
Ecke poinsettia business is sold
Paul Ecke III, CEO of the near century-old poinsettia business, has sold the Ecke poinsettia operation to the Agribio Group of Holland.
Ecke, 56, sold the last 67 acres of his Encinitas ranch in April to the Leichtag Foundation before selling the poinsettia business to Agribio Group. The deal with Agribio, announced this month, is expected to close Aug. 31. The land sale with the foundation is scheduled to close by the end of the year.
SeaWorld gets new killer whale
SeaWorld San Diego received a ninth killer whale last week. Shouka, a 19-year-old orca from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, was brought to SeaWorld because a "compatibility" issue with her companion of seven years, a bottlenose dolphin. SeaWorld officials said she was adapting well to her new surroundings.

"Man-Made Global Warming" Smashed in 3 minutes (video) *
Are governments using Global Warming for Global Taxes? They can't tax the sun but they can tax people who exhale and produce a natural gas, a life giving gas to plants - CO2. How is this gas and NOT the sun heating the ice caps on Mars and the moons of Jupiter? Could governments be hoping their populations will focus on a false CO2 fear (while paying for it) and neglect real environmental issues such as the toxicification of our seas, and natural water supplies?
