|The inseparability of politics and economics, so that political decisions have prevailed over economic rationality. This has been true of each government, but most acute under the past regime. This has affected both urban and rural sectors.

One thing is clear. You can push Goldman Sachs (
) to a wall by restricting its activities, but the investment bank
will always find some way to do what it does best - make money.
Quite recently, the bank revealed its intention to raise $600
million for a publicly traded credit fund, which will be structured
as a business development company. This is because business
development companies lie outside the purview of the Volcker Rule,
Goldman will be well within the law to trade credit products
through this vehicle, which will be funded nearly 25% by the bank
itself. Last month, we detailed another one of Goldman's other
responses to the Volcker Rule in our article
Goldman Finds A Way Around Volcker Rule To Continue Proprietary
Goldman's eagerness to make money under tightening regulations
would seem to be a good thing from an investor's point of view,
provided the bank doesn't rub regulators the wrong way. Goldman
seems to be succeeding in maintaining a balancing act while walking
the regulatory tightrope, by also giving in to rules on quite a few
instances. The bank has already closed down most of its proprietary
trading units over the years. It is also shrinking its
private-equity (PE) business to comply with the Volcker Rule's 3%
limit on investment in such funds.
We maintain a
$146 price estimate for Goldman's stock
, which is about 5% below current market prices.
the full Trefis analysis for Goldman Sachs
One look at Goldman's main sources of value depicted in the
chart above and you can see why Goldman is not very happy about the
Volcker Rule. The rule lays restrictions on Goldman's top
businesses - trading (fixed-income & equities) and other
investments - which together contribute to over 70% of the
investment bank's value. More specifically, the most sticking
inclusions in the Volcker Rule is the complete ban on proprietary
Goldman seems to be exploring various solutions to the Volcker
problem. One of the approach is to structure an upcoming credit
fund as a business development company, to take advantage of the
exception granted to such companies in the Volcker Rule. The $600
million fund will have up to $150 million of Goldman's own money,
which will then be used to extend credit to middle-market
companies. As of now, the fund already has $50 million worth of
assets, which yield an average return of 11% to investors. So if
Goldman actually goes in for the entire proposed $150 million
investment, then it will generate about $16.5 million in gross
revenues from the fund each year. It's not a bad deal considering
the fact that without this approach there can be no such revenues
at all from credit products, once the Volcker Rule is in place.
The model is quite easy to replicate, allowing Goldman to
multiply its revenue streams. Also, other investment banks will
come up with similar 'business development' companies of their own
We represent the revenues from such investments as part of
'securities services & other investment revenue' in our
analysis of the bank. You can make changes to the chart below to
understand how a change in these revenues would affect Goldman's
total share value.

The Maldives, at last year's Doe Bay Music Festival. For the Doe Bay Music Festival, it looks like second time is the charm. The very small, very folk- and country-tinged event made its first showing on Orcas Island last summer. In the course of one day, eight bands played to just a few hundred people. The Maldives, Tim Seely, and Left Hand Smoke headlined last year's festival, and those bands tended to attract their loyal, Tractor Tavern-frequenting fans (or so said Tim Seely.)
The lineup for this year's festival -- planned for August 14-15 -- is slowing growing, and at least one big name Seattle musician has signed on. David Bazan will be playing, touring in support of his upcoming release Curse Your Branches, out on Barsuk in September.
But there's also a number of other Washington bands playing and have a much broader appeal and sound: The much-buzzed about pop purveyors Lonely Forest; old-world folk band Hey Marseilles; and rockers Friday Mile, whose drummer, Chad Clibborn, organizes the festival.
Here's the lineup, so far:
David Bazan
The Maldives
Hey Marseilles
Friday Mile
The Moondoggies
The Lonely Forest
Spanish for 100
And here's two samples of what to expect from the festival. First, Dave Bazan playing "Please, baby, please," one of the songs planned for the new album:
And Hey Marseilles performing "To Travels and Trunks" off the band's eponymous album:

Charleston construction crew finds 27 graves beneath jobsite
| February 20, 2013 |
While working at the site of a renovation of Gaillard Auditorium in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, construction workers found 27 graves, the Associated Press reported.
The graves were arranged in two even rows and were uncovered after removing tons of dirt that previously laid beneath a parking lot.
There is no record of a cemetery at the location of the jobsite, but archaeologist Eric Poplin told the AP that the graves appear to date back to at least 1780, around the time of the American Revolution.
City officials said they would have to decide what to do with the remainsDustin Clemens with the city says it could take a couple of days to decide what should be done with the remains.
Potential historical significance aside, this crew has probably seen better weeks.

Delicious - love the fresh flavors of the tropical fruits. Made for a party, but the family got into it first LOL. Very nice combination of fruits, especially for summertime BBQs. Thanks for posting. Made for ZWT7 and the HOT PINK LADIES.
The novelty factor of eating fruit of a skewer helps - the kids thought it was 'fun'.
yummy! It's hard to go wrong with a fine selection of fruit like this! I couldn't find papaya at my grocery store though, so I just left it out. I had never boughten a fresh mango before, so it was fun trying something new. This would be perfect for parties, as the name suggests. Made for photo tag!

This review is from: HP Laptop Pavilion DV7-4077CL Intel Core i3 350M (2.26 GHz) 4 GB Memory 640GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: Nice laptop.
Cons: LCD screen died 2 days after it arrived. Shows a jittery green display with lines flickering up and down the screen during bootup, then goes blank. Contacted Newegg for a replacement. They sent me to the manufacturer (HP). HP said the warranty had expired a year ago. Contacted Newegg again. They said they wouldn't replace it unless I sent the original shipping box, which I don't have. They are contacting HP to try to put it off on them again, but no answer so far.
Other Thoughts: The laptop came wrapped in bubble wrap and packed in air packs in a generic cardboard box. The only plausible reason I see to insist on the original box is as an excuse to weasel out of making good on a deal gone bad. I have always regarded Newegg well for their willingness to make things right when things go wrong. So far, this time they have let me down.

Excellent deal; required a little effort
This review is from: HP Laptop Pavilion DV7-4077CL Intel Core i3 350M (2.26 GHz) 4 GB Memory 640GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 17.3" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: Great notebook especially for the price. I new notebook with a 17" screen and nine-cell battery etc. would cost $$$. Computer is fast and - pay attention - for less than $20 YOU CAN ORDER A COMPLETE SET OF RESTORE DVDS FROM HP. That's right - everyone who badmouths HP refurbished products because they don't come with system DVDs etc. never went on HP's Web site where it's so simple to order and pay for a complete HP set of system DVDs for your notebook you'll die laughing. I've ordered two sets of disks so far for two recertified HP laptops purchased from Newegg. Each time the DVDs arrived in less than a week.
Cons: Ok, listen to this: I don't know what Goofus installed the software on this computer before it was shipped but they did a terrible job - and I'm being nice when I say that. Although Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit was loaded that was pretty much it - no drivers for ANYTHING including video, audio, wireless and wired networking, memory card reader, etc. Plus, for some reason, the computer showed it only had 2GB of memory. PLUS every time I started the computer I got a warning that the power supply did not have enough juice to use the notebook to its full capacity - and said I should buy a new one!!! Also, I think there are two video chips on the motherboard and I kept getting a pop up when the Windows desktop arrived that said no ATI graphics chip could be found. In other words, things were really messed up. At first I dl all the drivers from the HP Web site; this fixed most of the problems. Most. But not the one that said the ATI video chip, among other things. (see 'other thoughts')
Other Thoughts: For anyone who has ever built or fixed computers you know you sometimes get to the point where you have to throw away the handbook and just figure things out yourself. And that's what happened here. I got so fed after spending HOURS day after day trying to configure this notebook that I eventually wiped the HD completely and reinstalled Windows 7 from a DVD I purchased from MS. After that, I dl and installed the drivers from the HP Web site. Still, I was concerned about the ATI video card being recognized so, when it came time to install the ATI drivers I selected "custom" and then chose only what was necessary to get the system to install the video drivers. I can't remember which items I didn't check; it was a "seat of the pants" moment. Anyway, it worked perfectly as did everything else at this point. No messages RE: a weak power supply. Suddenly there were 4GB of RAM, not 2. Go figure. (I did do a BIOS update so maybe.) DON'T FORGET TO ORDER THE RESTORE DISCS FROM HP.

Pros: I am very happy with this laptop. I bought it as a desk top replacement. The unit was spotless when it arrived. Free of any defects or finger prints. It is fast, and easily plays 4 video stream at the same time over the wireless network. I don't usually play games, but I did test some of my older games, and they played with out any problems.
Cons: The operating was not installed, and the C: drive was not formated. I had to use the factory restore untility to install Windows 7. There were no instructions on how to do this, so I had to figure it out on my own.
Other Thoughts: This is a good value for the money, if you don't mind not having the bleeding edge processor.

|Braley Launches Bipartisan Effort to Win Justice for Iran Hostages
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Jeff Giertz
|Friday, 18 May 2012 14:20
For 31 years, Waverly resident held during Iran Hostage Crisis has been blocked from seeking damages from Iranian government
Washington, D.C. – Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) and Republican Rep. Ilena Ros-Lehtinen (FL-18) today launched a bipartisan legislative effort aimed at winning justice for 66 Americans held hostage at the US Embassy in Tehran, Iran, 31 years ago. One of the hostages, Kathryn L. Koob, is a resident of Waverly, Iowa.
Since their release, the Americans have been barred by the US government from bringing suit against Iran and seeking justice for atrocities committed against them while in captivity for more than a year.
The "Justice for the American Diplomats Held Hostage in Tehran Act" would double fines and penalties levied against US companies that do business with Iran and redirect half of the amount to a newly established trust for the American hostages, the estates of deceased hostages, and their families. Braley took up the cause after meeting several times with Koob.
"For more than three decades, justice has been denied to this group of American heroes," Braley said. "It's time for the United States to stand behind the men and women who put their lives on the line for us, enduring torture and unimaginable terror during their long ordeal. Our bill would finally bring compassion and closure to the hostages and their families, and close a dark chapter in our nation's history."
On November 4th, 1979, Iranian students stormed the US Embassy in Tehran and took a group of 66 American diplomats hostage. 52 Americans ended up being held captive for a total of 444 days. The Algiers Accords, signed on January 19th, 1981, resolved the hostage crisis, but stipulated that the hostages could not bring claims against Iran for their captivity.
In April, the New York Times profiled the hostages and their ongoing effort to win damages from Iran.

Honeyfern's Blissful Oblivion by TheMoonfallWatch
©2012-2016 TheMoonfall
Warriors Request #1SPOILER ALERT!!
NOTE: I only do requests every now and then. Keep an eye on my journal to see when I open them back up.
xSpeedpaint: [coming soon]
xProgram: Photoshop Elements 9
Time Taken: About 3 hrs.
Bumblekit bounced up and down as he kept trying to hook the white feather in his tiny claws. Blossomkit would occasionally snatch it from her brother, exclaiming "Gotch'ya!" every time. Briarkit stuck behind her sister, trying to mimic her moves to get it from Bumblekit. But for some reason every time she missed it by a hair.
Honeyfern sat and watched them peacefully, thinking about pouncing in and joining all the fun. As she sat she thought about her future, and how her and Berrynose would have kits some day. She purred in content as she wrapped her tail around her paws and kept watching.
Little did she know that she was going to give up her life to save one of these kits in just a days time. Her life was going to end an abrupt, painful death. And she was never going to have kits of her own. But for now she watched in content, blissfully unaware of what was going to happen to her.
Bleh crap background is crap and crap story is crap. I rushed the background like always... I really need to work on that. And the story was just off the top of my head.
I think it's so sad how Honeyfern died, one of the most sudden and unexpected deaths ever. :[ I remember rereading through that part just to make sure I had read it right. It made me cry, it was so sad. And this picture was very sad to draw. But now she is in StarClan, and will be reunited with her clan mates soon. I could've drawn her death scene, but I think she should be remembered for the kind and caring heart that she had. <3 R.I.P Honeyfern.SEE MORE OF MY WARRIORS FAN ART [link]

Why did HoneyFern have to die of a snake =C
I love looking at picture with kittens!
Poor Honeyfern!
Nice job.
your artwork is pretty good
I know I actually threw my book across the room because Berrynose and Honeyfern had just confessed their love for each other and then the Erins just had to kill her
Dat description :c
I like this story and I love how you made Blossomkit, I hope you make her as a adult since she's very beautiful
Beautiful and sweet scene! But so sad about what happens to Honeyfern...
Wow, this is amazing! I love the shading, and the scenery is exactly how I imagined ThunderClan camp! Honeyfern's death was so sad D: She was a super sweet cat.
*cries and drowns in tears* GRRRRRRR! HONEYFERN'S DEATH WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO POINTLESS!!!!!!!
i always liked to think that Lionblaze would be her mate. but i feel bad for Honeyfern
Poor Honeyfern...
For a moment I forgot Honeyfern was different from Heathertail, so I was like, "What's Heathertail doing in ThunderClan camp!?!?!" XD
Poor Honeyfern
Nice drawing!!! I feel bad for honey...
When I read that part I burst into tears and was like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
It's especially sad because she and Berrynose were talking about having kits together. And then when she was dying he said " Our kits would have been as beautiful as you."

This month's DVD
Linux Mint 13 – Cinnamon Edition
This month's DVD lets you test the latest release from the popular Linux Mint project. Linux Mint 13 "Maya" is based on Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise Pangolin" and thus is compatible with the Ubuntu repositories.
Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition uses Cinnamon, a fork of the Gnome Shell based on the Mint Gnome Shell Extensions (MGSEs), as its default interface rather than Ubuntu's Unity desktop or the Gnome Shell. The many features of Cinnamon include desktop effects, a movable panel equipped with a main menu, launchers, a window list and system tray, applets that appear on the panel, and a settings editor for easy customization.

The ZYLISS Garlic Press is probably The Best Garlic Press "In The World" ;-) ;-)
13 February 2015
Best garlic press that I have ever owned. Does what it says and easy to clean
02 June 2014
We bought this garlic press a few years ago and it's been brilliant. No need to peel the clove before hand and the left over skin peels off easily from the press, which means little mess and doesn't leave your hands smelling of garlic!
24 December 2013
Love this garlic press. After 3 months of fiddling about with a cheaper press I invested in this one. Its great, no need to peel the clove first and very little wastage. Very happy I bought this one
21 November 2013
Very strong pressure is needed to crush garlic with this expensive gadget. My husband did manage to do it but with great effort and I could not do it at all as neither of us have strong wrists or hands. It might be easier if the lever were longer but, as it is, it is one for the bin. My very old garlic press was simple to use with little pressure so will have to be replaced with a similar basic one. Most disappointing.
Thanks for placing your review. We're sorry that you're unable to use the garlic press and will be in touch shortly.
19 September 2013
I've been searching for a looong time for a decent garlic crusher. I've spent a fair bit on different ones. I was abit reluctant to spend soo much but it is definitely worth it. The whole clove is crushed. None comes out the sides, barely none left in the crusher. A very good bit of kit.
01 March 2013
I've spent so much money on garlic presses lately after my old one bit the dust and the new one is not the same. This one is definitely the best - it has little teeth that go into the holes so that none of the clove is wasted, which is the same as my old one used to be. It's a bit more difficult to clean but their little plastic thingy that pushes stuff back out of the holes works well, and most other garlic presses I find you lose about 25% of the garlic clove in the holes (including the Lakeland own brand one) which is not the case with this one.
If you're not delighted with your purchase or our service, or find the same product elsewhere for less, please tell us so that we can put it right.

* James Gardner has provided invaluable help on designing the HostFramework
interface to make ToscaWidgets play nice with WSGI apps/frameworks/Pylons.
The wsgi_app.py sample app is largely based on a script of his. He has also
provided the RuleDispatch's Win32 egg that lives at "downloads".
* Matthew Scott has provided a PylonsHostFramework class and very interesting
feedback from a user-with-no-docs perspective ;)
* Elvelind Grandin has provided good tips on integration with TurboGears, the
TG extension is his brain-child.
* David Smith has much helped to make unicode support more robust.
* Claudio S. Martinez has contributed some improvements to js.py.
* Florent Aide has fixed some DeprecationWarnings.
* Ian Charnas made widget ids w3c compliant.
* Roger Demetrescu has contributed some developer-friendliness enhancements.
* Paul Johnston has contributed documentation, removed the need for
WidgetRepeater.max_repetitions, and provided a number of minor enhancements.
* Ralph Bean has contributed tests, docs, patches and tw2.jquery plugins.
ToscaWidgets is modeled after TurboGears widgets which was initially designed
by Kevin Dangoor and Michele Cella (with a little help from Alberto). Many
people have contributed code, bugfixes and ideas to TG widgets and ToscaWidgets
owes much to them.
