Thailand's embattled Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra today sought royal approval to dissolve the parliament and call fresh elections in a bid to defuse the country's deepening political crisis, as thousands of anti- government protesters took to the streets of the Thai capital.
"After listening to opinions from all sides, I have decided to request a royal decree to dissolve Parliament," Yingluck said in a televised statement.
"There will be new elections according to the democratic system," said the 46-year-old prime minister who came to power in 2011.
"The people will decide what the majority wants and who they want to government the country," she said in an effort to defuse the over two-week long crisis.
Under Thai election law, the new vote must take place within the next 60 days.
"I would like to ask every political group and party to use elections under the democratic system to find a solution for the people of Thailand," she added.
Her announcement came as thousands of protesters took to the streets of the Thai capital in a "final showdown" against her government.
Opposition MPs yesterday resigned en masse to join the anti-government protests.
The opposition Democrat Party had said its 153 MPs were resigning from the 500-seat lower house - a move that does not prevent the ruling Puea Thai party from passing new laws but leaves parliament facing questions about its legitimacy.
Five persons have died and hundreds injured in the anti-government protests in Thailand's worst political turmoil since the 2010 rallies that ended in violence.
In 2010, thousands of "red-shirt" Thaksin supporters occupied key parts of the capital. More than 90 people, mostly civilian protesters, died over the course of the two-month sit-in.
Yingluck said she will remain the head of the interim government.
"The situation seems likely to escalate to violence so the government has decided to return power to the people and let them decide through elections," the prime minister said.
Yingluck said her government has tried its best to settle the crisis and to talk to protesters, who accuse the prime minister of acting as a proxy for her fugitive brother and former premier Thaksin Shinwatra.
Suthep Thaugsuban, the secretary-general of the anti- government People's Democratic Reform Committee who is accused of sedition, however, said the mass rallies will continue until the "Thaksin influence" is uprooted from the country.
Suthep has declared that demonstrators would "blow the final whistle" today in an attempt to topple the government

Two Directors
Although the director is clearly very important in film, he is often relatively unimportant in television. Indeed, many television shows have different directors nearly every week. As a result, television actors often report that they do a lot of self-direction. A few television directors even have been known to arrive on a set never having read the script. It's rare, but it happens, more often in comedy than in drama.
Given the television director's reduced creative role, it's easy to see why television, certainly series television, is considered a producer's medium. Television directors have little opportunity to put their stamp on an individual program. Indeed, they are encouraged not io put a stamp on a program; it ought not to stand out as different from the series work already established.
The director is expected to fit well within the machine of television production and to not change things, to adhere to the producer's overriding vision of the program. In John Ravage's 1978 book Television: The Director's Viewpoint, directors lament how little creativity they can exert within this system of production:
Directors find they must sacrifice a careful and insightful style in favor of satisfying the producer's wants…. Most directors have learned to cope by accepting the occupation for what it is, and they try to work within it. Many others sublimate their creativity into other considerations; they learn to "get involved" with the minimal human values present in the scripts on which they must work; they search for meanings not readily apparent in the original scripts; they attempt to create interest and vitality by an artful edit or a sly expression, tucked away where the producer's inquiring eye might miss it. (pp. 9–10)
But there are important exceptions to this general view of television directors. Many of the episodes of Soap, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Cosby Show were directed by Jay Sandrich—one of the reasons I wanted to interview him. Both Sandrich and the producers with whom he works prefer

Why the best CFOs can mix their own paint
Delaney Turner 270003RQ8K email@example.com | | Tags:  finance_forum business_analytics finance
0 Comments | 981 Visits |
With IBM Finance Forum events on now around the world and efforts behind the Clarity Vision 2011 conference now in full swing, we continue our "Focus on Finance" week with a look at why effective CFOs are being asked to participate in decision-making and strategy in operations, marketing, sales and beyond.
If you're the CFO of a big box home improvement retailer, do you really need to know how to mix paint?
Not necessarily, but it doesn't hurt.
Carol Tome, the CFO of $68 billion home improvement giant Home Depot, does know how to mix paint. She learned how in the course of her weekly visits to stores. And this particular bit of knowledge came in handy in 2009, when the company was deciding whether or not to spend millions on new paint-blending equipment for the 2,244-store chain.
The CFO as "strategic partner"
Tome was profiled in a recent story in Bloomberg Businessweek.1 She is a prime exemplar of the growing trend—and growing need—to get CFOs more involved in operations and more active as "strategic partners" in businesses of all kinds.
CFOs and finance organizations in virtually all industries are now being asked to go beyond the traditional duties of processing transactions and delivering financial reports. They're being asked to contribute their perspectives on decisions across the entire enterprise agenda—in operations, sales, human resources, supply chain and more. In fact, in the IBM 2010 Global CFO Study, when asked to rank the importance of all their activities, CFOs named "providing inputs into enterprise strategy" as their number one priority.2
Collecting and reporting on data no longer enough: CFO magazine
CFO addressed this topic in its December, 2010 issue in an article titled "Strategic Inquisitions." "It's not enough to simply collect and report on financial data," said CFO. "You have to figure out how to help your companies capitalize on it."3 CFO interviewed a diverse group of CFOs who were actively involved in creating and implementing corporate strategy and found that "[f]or CFOs, being 'strategic' often hinges on addressing the many tasks that turn an idea into reality." One CFO observed that, "finance training allows [CFOs] to understand the business, end-to-end. They are able to look at a strategic idea and see how it will connect across the company, in terms of impacting current business or accelerating it." He added, "I don't know why companies divide 'financial analysis' from business analysis.' They're the same thing."
Experience in operations a plus
Another CFO, from a multi-billion dollar restaurant company, cited his experience in operations and marketing in helping to make him a better strategic partner. "My operations experience gave me great respect for the other disciplines as I engaged them from an accounting standpoint. … I am better equipped and more confident in how I support and fund the growth initiatives that come out of the strategic planning process."
But how does a CFO gain operational insight? What if you're not familiar with the nuts and bolts (or the eggshell and semi-gloss) of your particular business? While it's useful for any executive to get out on the "shop floor" from time to time, the fact is that the economic turmoil of the last decade has produced significant turnover in the ranks of corporate CFOs. Thus, the Carol Tomes of the world, with 15 years of experience at one company, are something of a rarity. But CFOs and other finance people can bring the business reality, if not the sights and sounds of the shop floor, to them, in the form of operational KPIs and metrics based on input from people in all areas of the business. And they can do that with financial analytics software from IBM.
Three ways to get there
Here are three basic ways that CFOs and other finance leaders can use IBM Cognos technology to gain and share insights about operations:
1. Model the business to gain a better understanding of the drivers that affect performance. Use multiple dimensional views that include product, customer, region and sales channel.
2. Use scorecards and dashboards to monitor performance and align individual or departmental goals with long-term company goals. Link operational and financial KPIs and connect those KPIs to broader corporate strategy.
3. Perform "what-if" scenario planning to examine options for changing business conditions. Include factors such as cash flow, customer profitability, product profitability, and revenue performance.
When CFOs see timely, relevant operational metrics alongside their financial metrics, they gain a broader view of performance and the operational insight they need to be strategic business partners.
It's also worth noting that, while knowledge of operations enables you to serve your company better as a CFO; it can also open the door to that other C-level office that many CFOs aspire to. In the case of Home Depot's Carol Tome, her deep knowledge of the operational side of the business has helped to make her, in the words of Bloomberg Businessweek, "a leading contender to be the retailer's next chief executive."

Filmmaker Subhash Ghai, who is on the lookout for a fresh face to play the title role in his new directorial "Kaanchi", is sure the movie will turn its actress into a superstar.
"After going through the whole script of 'Kaanchi' now, we all are very sure that any girl who shall play this role of 'Kaanchi' will be a superstar overnight after the release of film," Ghai said in a statement.
The women-oriented movie is his best script ever, says Ghai, who is credited with films like "Karma", "Ram Lakhan", "Saudagar", "Khalnayak" and "Taal".
"This is the best script of mine so far, with so much passion, energy and drama of today. A wholesome entertainer for masses and classes both! I am too excited to start my film, but I am waiting for that lucky girl who will play Kaanchi," added the 67-year-old.
The film, which features veterans like Rishi Kapoor and Mithun Chakraborty, is a based on a love story of a young, beautiful girl from northern mountains, who fights against power.
For the role, Ghai is on the lookout for a sporty girl with medium height, and aged between 19 to 21. She should be fair, extrovert and vocal by nature. The training will be taken care of, says the filmmaker.
Once the final cast is locked, "Kaanchi" will go on floors in the first quarter of 2013.

Continental Resources refines focus on oil
Continental Resources Inc. is boosting its leading position in North Dakota's oil-rich Bakken Shale while selling off some of its noncore holdings, the company announced Wednesday.
Continental has struck a $650 million deal to acquire an additional 120,000 acres in two North Dakota counties from an unnamed seller.
The acreage includes undeveloped leasehold and wells producing about 6,500 barrels of oil equivalent a day.
Continental already is the largest leaseholder in the Bakken with more than 984,000 net acres.
The Oklahoma City-based oil company also has signed an agreement to sell producing oil and natural gas properties and supporting assets from its east region.
An unidentified buyer will pay $125 million for properties producing about 1,100 barrels of oil equivalent a day.
Most of Continental's eastern holdings are east of the Mississippi River, including acreage in Michigan and the Illinois Basin.
"We are divesting noncore, conventional assets and reinvesting the proceeds in an attractive acquisition that further builds our strategic, core position in the Bakken," CEO Harold Hamm said. "Continental operates a large portion of the acreage that we are acquiring, and more than half of it is held by production."
The deals are expected to be completed by the end of the year.
Continental expects increased cash flow from the new Bakken acreage to offset its additional drilling costs in 2013, if the deal is completed as planned.

Since the 1980s, the Prosperity Gospel has become one of the doctrinal emphases of contemporary Christianity. Although it is found widely in some continents and countries, however, is often associated with leaders and preachers associated with the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements. The newness of this emphasis stems from the fact that biblical metaphors of success and material prosperity have taken on new meanings within the competitive modern market economy. Besides, this emphasis shows how Pentecostalism has responded to popular demand of Christianity for economic relevance in the modern world. Using proofext reading of the Scriptures as a method, Pentecostals and Charismatics have taken certain passages (e.g. III John 1:2; Joshua 1:8; and Deut 8: 6-9) as support for the prosperity Gospel.
As we begin our reflection on the Prosperity Gospel, it is necessary to recapitulate the content of this teaching. There are different refinements about prosperity among Pentecostal preachers, but generally the following represents the consensus within the constituency.
Some prosperity preachers insist that the emphasis flows from the concept of salvation, while others argue that prosperity is part of the blessings available to believers as part of God's covenant with Abraham. Generally, preachers of the Prosperity Gospel insist that Christians ought to have access to material wealth and live life on a big scale, and not experience any financial hardship nor contemplate poverty. Consequently, many preach and teach that failure, poverty, unhappiness, and all forms of difficulties are considered as curses which should not be the lot of Christians. They equally insist that God created men and women for a better life than many are experiencing, hence God's abundant goodness is supposed to be enjoyed by Christians who 'discipline themselves, become decisive, bold, adventurous, believing, daring, risking and determined.' In practical terms, prosperity connotes material prosperity or financial prosperity, defined as having enough resources, which can be money, houses, cars, children, promotion, jobs, etc.
Prosperity preaches also insist that Christians enter into the realm of prosperity based on individual understanding of the God's promises because God has given humans access to the Abrahamic covenant. Hence, one's salvation launches one into the realm of God's abundance. However, Christians who are not prospering could be harbouring unbelief or are unaware of God's promises and the laws of success or have accepted the lies of the Devil or are bogged down by sin.
Most preachers of Prosperity Gospel often encourage their members to give testimonies of how they have been materially blessed or have their finances transformed as evidence of the genuineness of this doctrinal emphasis.
As we begin our discussion on this issue, preparatory to the Lausanne Congress, we need to reflect deeply on the questions listed below and many more that will be raised later.
Mots-clés: prosperity gospel, Pentecostal, Charismatic, materialism, material prosperity, success, promises, sin, West, Third World, work ethics, poverty, wealth, health, integrity
I think one of the key statements in your paper is the phrase "biblical metaphors of success and material prosperity have taken on new meanings within the competitive modern market economy." There is much metaphor in the Bible and often we turn the metaphor into prose and miss the point. We in Northern Nigeria tend to do a similar thing with metaphors related to weapons or the military when it comes to responding to violence. Until we get a good understanding of the Biblical use of metaphors, we are going to miss many things in the Bible, especially in the area of prosperity.
This is a well noted point. We tend to look at the Biblical message with our modern understanding of the usage of words. We lose a lot of meaning when we translate from one language to another. I think that as ministers of the Gospel we need to make certain that we do proper hermeneutics of the text.
I really appreciate seeing the line prosperity gospel adherents "insist that God created men and women for a better life than many are experiencing." This is one of the more compelling premises of the prosperity gospel from my perspective. Where we go wrong with this statement (which I would consider fundamentally true), is when we assume that the better life God intends has anything to do with our material wealth. It really is high time to redefine our concept of a "good life."
Thanks for this contribution. Some considerations to add on the topic of prosperity gospel.
1. Prosperity Gospel can arise 'by default' from the interaction between Western (e.g. American) and Africa Christians. The American way of life is, on many African standards, so 'prosperous' that an American often need not overtly be preaching the prosperity Gospel at all, to be implicitly preaching the prosperity Gospel.
2. I have found that Americans tend to ascribe the prosperity gospel in African to their own history. Yet the link between 'spiritual success' and material prosperity is very close also in many African traditions. The reason for much 'spiritual activity' in Africa is very often aiming to achieve 'worldly success'. I have found that it is very hard for some to conceive that there could be any other reason to engage in spiritual activity, e.g. prayer.
3. In intercultural perspective, overcoming prosperity gospel cannot be a matter of 'better teaching' alone, given 1 and 2 above. It must be a matter of demonstration, or the teacher will appear to be a hypocrite. That is, a disconnection between 'spiritual success' and 'worldly success'. This, I believe, we see very much in the Scriptures, with Christ himself being the very epitome of such an example.
4. Number three above needs to be carried through to policies of funding for missions etc. It is in practice, it seems, all too tempting for charismatic figures to keep raking in the money. Unlike presumably in the Catholic Church, Pentecostal preachers are their own 'lords'. That may not be very healthy. Can they self-impose ceilings on their income?

I'm fairly new to WordPress and would appreciate help in getting my website up again. Here's the issue:
I created a new Page and added a Page Link to an alternate URL. Saved it and added it the menu.
I didn't see that the page went to the top of the menu list (as all other pages normally went to the bottom and I moved them into their correct location)., and so I added the page again, moved it and saved the menu.
SO: I accidentally added two pages with this link to an alternate URL. One was at the top of the menu, and one was in the correct nested location within the menu.
When I checked the website, the entire site--from the main URL--now links to this alternate URL and I can't resolve it.
I have deleted both of the pages with the Page Link, but the website still automatically redirects.
Appreciate any advice in getting this resolved.

ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) — Convicted of killing a highly decorated Marine Corps flying ace, Jesse Fanus was the youngest person on Oregon's Death Row when he was sentenced to death in 1999 at age 19. Now a Marion County judge has overturned that sentence.
The 32-year-old Fanus argued that lawyer Mark Hendershott failed to adequately represent him both at trial and at his sentencing. Judge Pamela Abernethy rejected his claim in regard to the trial. However, in a ruling published Dec. 15, the judge found that Hendershott failed to portray the abuse Fanus suffered as a youth, which might swayed have jurors deciding his punishment.
Douglas County District Attorney Rick Wesenberg told the Roseburg News-Review (http://bit.ly/ssyn0Z ) on Tuesday that his office will vigorously pursue a death sentence if a new sentencing hearing is required. Hendershott said he believes he adequately represented his client.
Gov. John Kitzhaber has ordered a halt to all executions as long as he is in office.
Fanus was convicted of gunning down retired Maj. Gen. Marion Carl on June 28, 1998, in the 82-year-old pilot's southern Oregon home. The young man stole cash and a car in the break-in.

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. (90) I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, bluegrass, and civic events. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

We are officially adding to our family, one last time! Our oldest (Abeba and Mary) have a little brother that we have known about for a long time now. He has always been a part of our family of course, but mainly in our hearts and our girls' memory. We finally met him earlier this year and saw the situation in which he was living. We were hopeful that maybe he would be fine. His basic needs were provided for and we will always be thankful for that. Their mother brought him to relatives to help care for him temporarily, when she was sick. She was planning on coming back for him after she got better. She did not get better and passed away. She was distant to many of her family members for reasons that we are all too familiar with now, in which we will not go into details out of respect for family. We could never imagine the circumstances people are in here. When I asked our girls just the other night, "was anybody concerned about where he (their brother) was after your mom passed away?", they answered "we were concerned with how we would survive ourselves". If you do not know, the girls were on their own after their mother passed away. We are thankful for very kind friends/neighbors that stepped up to help them out. We are forever grateful for this family.
So fast forward to this year, and we confirmed the suspicions we had that he was not treated as a son. Families here certainly open their homes and provide for other family members, when it is necessary. But they are not typically embraced as a son or a daughter. We know it was never their mother's wishes for him to be raised by these family members. She wanted better for what she had growing up. She valued education for her children. She instilled a fierce love and faith for the Lord. Her character, that we can see glowing through our daughters, is not our doing, but because of what their birth mother taught them through her example of kindness and generosity to others, even when you have very little. This is not the same that we see from family here. It is unfortunate. We have never felt our family is complete until he was with us. But of course the timing of it all has to be kind of laughable. Really? As we are getting ready to leave one country and re-integrate into our home country—is not the best timing. We have to start over now in the states. We are blessed with our church's generous support, but we still are in the position of starting over. We sold all of our things to move to Ethiopia to set up an orphan prevention program, and now we have to replace our belongings, come June. But we trust that God's timing is best.
We have started the adoption process now to get our newest Sullivan home. We are having our homestudy done here in Ethiopia to start the process. We don't know about timing of things, as international adoptions go---you never really know. But our current social worker thought more along the lines of December, and I (Bridget) am praying for a miracle of this summer? So, we will see. We just recently spent a few days with him in their home town. He is great. He is FULL of energy. Oh my. Eyob asked (as he couldn't take another step) , "does he ever run out of energy?" We never saw him stop! We had a lot of fun. He giggles a lot. He is a happy boy. We all wanted him to come home with us, of course. But we need to follow the rules and wait. So, here we are again, riding the emotional roller coaster of adoption again. Only this time, it seems different in a way? We already loved him before, now even more that we have all met him in person.
Since the timing of this all is not ideal for our finances, we are in this uncomfortable position now, to ask for help. This adoption will cost anywhere from $23,000- $30,000. I know---huge number that makes us gasp, too! The same amount for a private domestic adoption, mind you. We certainly feel like we can provide for another child financially and emotionally, but this large sum of money to begin with, will be difficult to get, without help from others. And no—there are no other siblings out there of any of our children! We truly feel "full" –our cup over floweth now with 7 kids! We could not imagine our family without him in it. Who knew our life would turn out this way? Our kids are all so excited to add him to our family. It may even make the "wait" worse with everybody loving him so much already. Oh—and he is 6 years old. He is a good head shorter than Eyob. So we are thinking he will be younger than Eyob? But we will see when they get his birth certificate.
Thank you all so much for your support and prayers in the coming months. Also thank you for considering contributing and sharing with your friends to our adoption. Not everybody is called to adopt. But maybe there are people that want to support adoption in this way, versus adopting in their own family. We cannot wait to welcome him home. ** If it is easier for you to give with Paypal, our Paypal ID is: email@example.com

text: Are there really no posts at all on this board in three months? I'm mystified as to the amount of the decline on SKT over the past months. Historically, this seems to be very relative to its past overall stability. Do people consider this company specific or is it a reaction to SKT being a REIT in an increasing interest rate environment. If the latter, it seems to me that SKT is being punished by association more than anything. Should this stock be down this much? What's the bear case?

I agree with the other ladies, he has seen your "private" areas before and if he cant handle a trans-vaginal u/s, boy hes in for a rude awakening during labour and delivery! I hope you will be able to convince him to go with you- its a special moment that he will never have back.
Laura: Mommy to 2 beautiful girls: DD 04/05/08 and DD 01/03/12
Seriously, he won't notice a thing. You'll have a sheet covering you. Did you explain to him what happens during labor? You'll get cervical checks and things get a lot more personal!! Is he going to step out of the room then too? With pregnancy and birth a lot of modesty tends to go out the window.
How is he gonna hold a leg when you deliver? I guess I'm at a loss here. He knows you intimately already. What is he afraid of?
I had my 1st transvaginal us yesterday and let me tell you that DH was super excited when he finally saw the baby and heard the HB. Tell DH that he will mss his baby's 1st picture. And my Dh was even there when my dr did the pap and everything. He has to get used to doctors touching your hoo haa. LOL
After 2 years ATTC, 2 MCs, fighting PCOS (using metformin, clomid, charting & opking) we finally had Andrea 1/7/12 (39wk 1d) Now waiting for Clomid Baby #2, due October 4, 2013.
he needs to suck it up! My Dh went my DD first one... he was a little disturbed by the "dildo" going in me but he got over it.. He won't be coming to this one only becuase he has to work.. He will def be at the 20 week ultrasound though, we can do that one at night.

hi all,
can any one please let me know the difference between normal buffers ,clock buffers and delay buffers wrt all aspects ?
It can depend on the library, but clock buffers are usually meant for building the clock tree and have balanced rise/fall times so that there is no duty cycle distortion on the tree. Also, some libraries have clock buffers that have built-in decap. Delay cells usually just have a much larger delay than regular buffers, and can be a larger area as well. All kinds can be used during optimization to meet timing. Some designers prefer to limit clock buffers to the clock tree, just because then you know if you're looking at a clock buffer, you know it's a clock net. Delay cells are typically only used in hold fixing, but that can vary too.

Squeezed or Transformed?
(February, 2003 POL)
Topic: Transformation
Text: Romans 12:1-8
Let's begin with an object lesson this morning. This is a toothpaste tube. I'm prepared to confess this morning that I am a "squeezer." I realize that news will come as a grave disappointment to the "rollers" out there. Let's see the hands of the squeezers. Now, let's see the hands of the rollers. They often marry each other and create great opportunities for marital counseling.
You know what happens when you squeeze the toothpaste tube. The toothpaste comes out. But I'm not so interested in the toothpaste today as I am the tube. Did you notice that when I squeeze the tube, it takes its shape from the outside in? Sooner or later, squeezed from the outside in, it will end up empty, with nothing inside.
By contrast, this is a balloon. Right now, this balloon is empty. It has little or no shape at all. But if I blow into it from the outside, it will take a new shape from the inside out. And it will hold that shape, as long as there is air inside. And, of course, you know what happens when let the air go.
Now, some of you may think that is just a silly little object lesson. Some are probably saying, "I came to church for that?!" But I dare you to forget it once you've heard the scripture lesson this morning. It comes from the Romans 12r of St. Paul's letter to Rome. He has spent 11 chapters describing the amazing grace and mercy of God that meets us in our brokenness and sin, forgives, restores, and renews us in our relationship with God and with each other. The twelfth chapter opens with a great "therefore." Therefore, because of the way God's love and mercy have been made known to us, because we have experienced God's grace at the cross, look at the way we should live in response to that love and grace of God.
In order to get the flavor of these verses I want you to hear them in several different translations.
Romans 12:1: "I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God -- what is good an acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12:1: "Therefore, my brothers [and sisters], I implore you by God's mercy to offer your very selves to him: a living sacrifice, dedicated and fit for his acceptance, the worship offered by mind and heart. Adapt yourselves no longer to the pattern of this present world, but let your minds be remade and your whole nature thus transformed. Then you will be able to discern the will of God, and to know what is good, acceptable, and perfect."

Was on 1-20 last year, should be an annoucement date very soon. Odd that other than 2011's, there are no 4Q reports on the company website. 2011's 4Q was solid, current NII has improved which is a major plus imo.It all comes down to bad loan provision levels...
I would expect BV to continue it's steady decline which is ok as long as not a huge decrease. It's ok, not preferable, because the pps is 20% of BV and have a 2.60 DTA. Eventually BV should/must stabilize but will probably take some time and may settle at a level much less than current BV of 3.50.
The key thing again is the provisions, I would choose a BV of 2$ share with little provisions and consistent earnings over current status..
This was Robert Wahlman (DRL CFO) in the earnings call. We will see in the 4Q results if they were telling the truth with respect to their comments that the majority of the TDR issues are behind them and they will retun to "normalized" earnings in 2013.
"So I've covered a lot of detail in a compressed discussion. Let me step back and recap what I think are the significant provision matters. Of the loan population, provisions for nearly $3 billion of commercial loans totaled $5.2 million, of which $2 million was for growth in the U.S. portfolio, and performance of this portfolio appears stable at this point in time.
Of the $3.2 billion residential loan portfolio, the $2.4 billion core portfolio provisions totaled just $1.2 million for delinquency deterioration and performance also appears stable. There was a $5.6 million charge for the new valuations received.
Of the $629 million TDR portfolio, more specifically, the $374 million resetting portfolio, provisions totaled $22 million; $6.4 million for the new valuations, $8.1 million for increased defaults on reset loans, $7 million in anticipation of this particular -- of new defaults in this particular segment of that portfolio and a few -- and about $0.5 million of other charges.
These facts lead me to the view that the high Q3 provision level is driven by the resetting modified loans. The number of resetting modified loans peaked in Q3 of 2012, driven by the high level of modifications from September of 2010 through February of 2011. And the effect of the resetting loans on the provision, I expect will ease in future quarters as the volume of resetting loans declines, and the amount of interest rate shock at reset declines because of the program changes made in February 2011.
With that, I'll turn this over to Chris."
IMO it is an overstatement to say that he meant that the majority of TDR issues are behind them, he is just saying they "will ease in future quarters" .They could be only a million less for 4Q and technically his statement would be accurate. My take is that this TDR issue caught them a bit off guard and that this quarter and for 2013 there will still be significant provisions but not as bad as 3Q.
Not sure what exactly it would be, but like crbc, IMO management needs to be more proactive in clearing these bad loans from the books even if it means a significant hit to BV.They have a growing US franchise whose profits are being sucked up by the PR mess.It's not just the loans alone but the costs of dealing with them per required frequent appraisals, etc. I think crbc sold off their crummy loans/mortages and took a BV hit, my assumption is drl has no buyers for theirs even at a big discount.
Obviously, alot of these bad loan issues are discounted already in the current pps of 70c and it really comes down to whether they will have the time and capital to work their way through these provisions. Again, really feel they need to be more aggressive in taking the hit and moving on...
Cavalier, my bet is in. I have accumulated ~500,000 shares of the common and ~100,000 of the preferred. Let's see if I make a bundle in the next few days or will have to wait a while. Thus far I have done quite well with the Puerto Rican banks equity holdings.
im712, I just have the common, added some more shares today, we both have a lot riding on drl's ability to muscle through the provisions. Holding alot of shares in a low volume stock like drl is risky if you need to get out of on a selloff. I will most likely hold my shares even if 4Q not the best... the die is cast
I have also accumulated RIMM big time in the last few months in anticipation of a new wave in mobile computing and a 3rd eco-system opposite Android and Apple.

A Shirt's Tale
From cuff to collar and yoke to gusset; devil is in the details
London designer Brian Clarke loves fashion and admits that sometimes he finds himself dominating conversations, particularly when his enthusiasm for a cut of cloth exceeds his audience's capacity to listen. He can hold forth on men's dress shirts for hours.
When he scrutinizes a ready-to-wear shirt, Mr. Clarke first runs his fingers along the fabric -- both inside and out. With one touch, he's abuzz with praise for a white shirt by Italian company Brioni on display at Harrods in London. It's so silky it feels almost liquid and Mr. Clarke carries it toward a light to examine the fabric more closely. "This is very good cotton," he observes. "You can barely see the weave."
Uncommon Thread
A lifetime connoisseur of shirts -- who ran his own shirt-design and manufacturing studio for a several years in the '80s -- he's also passionate consumer. Most customers don't understand about 75% of the elements that go into making a high-quality shirt, he says. But Mr. Clarke, a former tailor, revels in the minutiae: A collar has five pieces, he notes, while the collar stand, or the strip of fabric between the collar and the yoke, has three. The way each piece is cut, the kind of cloth fastened inside the collar for strengthening and even the way that cloth is placed make a big difference to the way a shirt feels.
Shirt-making is a serious business -- and the devil is entirely in the details. Jean-Claude Colban, who runs the French clothier and shirt-maker Charvet with his sister Anne-Marie, spends several weeks a year at his computer terminal, creating a few hundred unique color swatches -- shifting the scale of stripes, slightly changing the color relationships. Even a white shirt has both overtones and undertones, after all, and the hue of a blue yarn changes, for instance, when set beside another color. Mr. Colban registers each color combination he creates, so that Charvet holds the sole rights to it.
"We do not just develop patterns to show to stores," Mr. Colban says, noting that he not only markets Charvet's shirts, but designs them as well. "We are like wine merchants...growing their own vines."
Like the wine market, the ready-made men's shirt world is crowded with products of varying style, quality and substance. The differences can be subtle -- an extra stitch at the back of a button, a bit of glue inside a cuff -- but those intricacies determine the way a shirt feels against the skin and how it looks after being cleaned. The signals of excellence lie in the quality of the fabric, color and finish. The construction of the shirt also determines its value and longevity.
Charvet shirts are a part of a niche upscale market that also includes Italian brands like Brioni, which tailors hand-finished features like button holes, and Kiton, whose shirts are mostly hand sewn. These clothiers tend to be family businesses and they all do custom tailoring.
Mr. Colban takes his time to ensure that he can control each phase in the design, and for him, an essential part of the creative process is the dialog with the dyer.
Casting the Perfect Dye
Creating an elegant dress-shirt begins with the fabric, and for many designers, quality equals Italy.
Italian fabric factories, mostly clustered around Lake Como just south of the Swiss border, dominate Europe's textile industry. Competition from Eastern Europe and Asia has created newpressures for the mills, cutting lead time for the production of a shirt from five months to two months, according to Claudio Passera, general manager of Testa SpA, a privately owned mill near Milan.
Mr. Passera says Testa's major Italian competitors are Albini Group and Guanzatebased Canclini Tessile SpA, but that some Chinese mills offer quality akin to that of Italy, including Youngor Group Co. Ltd., based in Ningbo and Zhejiang, and Esquel Group, based in Hong Kong.
Mills work with color stories or swatches defined by computer codes on computer-assisted design software. Getting the color just right is a science of blending and saturation. It starts with two types of dyes, according to Mr. Passera. The most colorfast are called "vat," named after the tub they're mixed in. They are used on the yarn itself and, through a chemical process, they fix the dye. Vat dyes withstand washing, but they are often muted colors.
The other dye is called "reactive." The brightest dyes tend to be the most unstable, says Enrico De Pieri, who heads Albini Group's export business to the U.K., Asia and the Netherlands. Reactive dyes are water soluble, so they can fade after repeated washings.
As millers and designers wrangle over the right shades, they cement their relationships. Albini Group, for example, has a longstanding relationship with venerable U.K. men's clothier Turnbull & Asser, Mr. De Pieri says. A Turnbull & Asser client recently requested fabric for a shirt from a discontinued fabric collection.
"(Turnbull & Asser) asked if we could weave something," Mr. De Pieri says. "We had to weave 10, 12 meters of the fabric."
-- Paula Park
"We defend the subtle differences in shade," he relates. "We have a hidden association for the protection of color." To achieve that color, many designers prefer to use Italian mills.
"You can't get the color definition anywhere else that the Italians get in the dying process," said Marc Psarolis, managing director at Duchamp -- a U.K. clothing line that is all about intense hues. "We can give them our color palettes and they get it."
Artisan clothiers like Charvet are constantly undermined by cheaper producers in Asia and by fashion houses that market designs with elegant features, but sometimes cut costs and corners. One corner that can be cut: the quality of cotton. All cotton is finished with chemicals; and cheaper cottons can be made to look beautiful using finishes that wash out.
Mr. Colban uses Egyptian cotton, also the dominant fabric for Kiton and Brioni shirts. Egypt's heat and humidity help to generate a cotton boll with long, firm fibers. Twisted into yarn, the long strands of cotton make the final fabric firmer and smoother to the touch. The binding and weave of the fabric add more to the lustrous feel.
The size and style of stitching are also important. Tiny stitches are considered more beautiful and blend better with the colors of a fabric. A slower speed of sewing also improves quality. Brioni uses older machines that can create about 150 to 300 stitches per minute. A new machine does 3,000 to 4,000 stitches a minute. Slower sewing allows the shirt makers to better align stripes, plaids and checks.
The stitching style can add subtle design motifs. Mr. Colban, like other designers, will sometimes incorporate twill -- diagonal stitches made by threads finished with a high gloss -- to add shine to the fabric, for example. A slightly denser yarn woven in a pattern with the lighter strands gives body to the fabric and dimension to the colors.
Shirt makers like Kiton, Charvet and Brioni are not for everyone's taste. Their designers say they have an old-fashioned, classic approach and they remain reluctant to take on new trends, willy-nilly. Charvet's Mr. Colban customizes shirts for clients from as far away as Hong Kong. What a shirt maker learns from crafting a shirt for a single customer translates into ready-made products.
Brian Clarke bought his first tailored suit in the 1970s after finishing school. From a working-class immigrant family of seven children, he worked for three months as a factory hand to pay the £60 for that suit. When he discovered his knack for sketching clothing designs, he enrolled in the London College of Fashion. He worked for a pittance for a tailor part time and has since designed clothes for the BBC, some feature films and rock bands. Constantly changing jobs to learn more about the profession, he's lived on a knife's edge, he says. Today, he works in property development.
For Mr. Clarke, the perfect shirt is custom made. But a ready-made shirt can approximate perfection. First, the fabric should be of high quality, he says; it should be firm with a smooth feel. A consumer can check the density of the weave by holding a shirt to the light. Light will only partly penetrate a shirt if it's made of quality fabric with a dense weave.
Mr. Clarke advises checking the cuffs and collar for a bit of slack between the outer and inner layers of fabric and the firmer interior material. A customer should check that the pocket's stripes or checks are aligned with the background pattern, he says. The yoke and sleeve lines should match; and the collar stand -- the piece of cloth below the collar that holds the top button -- should line up with the front of the shirt.
The seams should have a minimum of 15 stitches per inch, he says. The tail should be long enough to stay tucked into a pair of trousers when a person raises his hand, and the side seams should be reinforced at the intersection of the two parts of the tail with a piece of cloth called a gusset.
At Harrods, Mr. Clarke checks the collar of a Lanvin shirt -- it's soft to the touch, with no stiffening inner layer. A ribbon of unfinished fabric bands the collar, and a second one lines the button placket in the front. Those ribbons may fray, but that's the idea, he says. He points out features in the fabric -- the smoothness of the weave, the matte finish -- that signal quality. A tiny gusset is sewn inside the shirt.
Finally, Mr. Clarke opens the unique button holes on the shirt -- created by the fold of two intersecting fabrics, rather than sewn on the placket front. "That's really hard to do," he says.

A Massachusetts man has been sentenced to life in prison for raping a six-year-old boy in the reading room of a public library.
Twenty-seven-year-old Corey Deen Saunders pleaded guilty in February.
The crime happened last year at New Bedford Public Library, a little over a year after Saunders was freed after serving four years for the attempted rape of a seven-year-old boy.
Prosecutors and three psychologists objected to his release, saying he was too dangerous to be let out. But the judge noted that Saunders had not committed any sex offenses in prison.
In the new case, Saunders admits luring the child into the reading room while the boy's mother was using a computer only a few feet away.
Despite the life sentence, Saunders will be eligible for parole in 15 years.
The case has sparked new interest in a civil commitment law that would allow certain sexual offenders to be locked up indefinitely.

Two options:
1. Send it to a data recovery center. I had a drive were the motor had frozen up (the bearings were shot and it made a very high squeal sound). I sent it off to a local hard drive data recovery center and they said the platters and heads were good so they were able to read the data off the platters for us. Because of this they were able to provide us a listing of the files it could recover. I presented it to the user and she was able to select the files she needed. This was a cheap recovery. If I recall it set her department back $4K USD (this was back in 2004). She needed the data and since then she became real diligent at backing up her data and saving to the network -- often! :)
2. I don't recommend this but I have done this a few times with a hit-and-miss outcome. If you have another drive, same make and model, you can attempt to swap out the internals yourself. In situations like this the cost to have it recovered was more than it was worth so I had nothing really to lose. Sometimes all I needed to do was to swap out the external circuit board, on others I transplanted the entire intenrals. Just be careful not to get your fingerprint or any oil from your skin on anything! Try to work in the cleanest environment as possible.
HTH ... Best of luck!

IPTV decoded

IPTV. What's all that about then? Well, it's
the next big thing coming to your desktop. The revolution won't be televised - it'll be streamed over the net.
Simply put, IPTV is television over the internet (hence the name - Internet Protocol TeleVision). Just think about your TV today. For the most part, it's standard definition, it comes over the air or through a cable. If you have digital TV - and many homes in the UK do now - it's coming through as ones and zeros. Why not have it come through as ones and zeros over your broadband line instead?
The idea of a unified delivery system for content to the home is not exactly radical. Many cable customers already receive internet, television and phone all through the same piece of cable into their house. The cable is divided into digital IP for internet service, analogue for phone and possibly either for the TV. Anything can be transmitted digitally with the right equipment - telephone goes over the net with Voice over IP, and TV can be digital. So why not just make the whole pipe into your house internet and then deliver everything over that?
This is the wider concept of IPTV - the long-term plan, if you like. The narrower concept of the phrase is that right now, there is an awful lot of TV-like programming available on the net for you to download to your PC and watch. Usually, the content is encoded either in hi-res for viewing on your PC screen, or at lower resolutions for transferring to portable devices like iPods or PSPs. Many people are suggesting that what has happened to music over the last few years, through the surge of digital content, is going to happen to video too. Now, it's easier and more convenient than ever to know what your friends are listening to, share tunes, discover new bands and buy into the non-mainstream. In a couple of years, that same model will certainly apply to video.
The basic point of this feature is to explain what IPTV is, how it works, and to give you the heads up on some cool programming you should probably be watching. But why?
Well, we all know that traditional TV can be a real pain. Subscribing to cable or satellite can be expensive, and the amount of decent TV shows on the box can be counted on one hand, despite the hundreds of channels. The fast drop in the price of production equipment like cameras and high-end computers, combined with an increasingly sophisticated geek community, means that there are a hell of a lot more interesting things for people like us to watch in the IPTV sphere than there are on TV. Not only is this stuff more authentic and interesting, it's also free, meaning that you can just grab lots of content and figure out what you like, rather than having to pay for a channel or rent a DVD. Maximum entertainment, minimum cost.
Everybody Loves RSS
The RSS protocol, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, has been a massive enabling technology for people who provide content. First of all, it pushes new updates from websites straight to your desktop, allowing you to know, for instance, the second
is updated.
The RSS model has been applied to audio in the form of podcasts. Podcasts are a form of internet radio, but are far more flexible than radio in that the content can be timeshifted to whenever you want to listen to it, since the 'radio' broadcast is just an MP3 file. Podcasts have taken off thanks to the introduction of iTunes, which integrates RSS with audio.
RSS is a crucial enabler for IPTV. Take the TV show model - new episodes of a show generally go out once or twice a week. Using RSS, rather than remembering to tune in at the same time every week and drop what you're doing, the latest episode of the show is pushed to you in MPEG format for you to watch wherever and whenever you want. Isn't that far more convenient?
So far, there is a limited market for commercial content producers that are doing this. However, as we mentioned, one day - all TV will be like this.
So what kind of software do you need to get up and running? Well, you have a couple of options. One is to manually subscribe to all the IPTV feeds you're interested in using a standard RSS reader. However, the best IPTV programmes make light work of allowing you to explore the world of programming and move it around between devices easily.
Tech specs
You can get IPTV feeds in a number of different formats. Most shows will have a number of different versions available, depending on your intended use.
XviD is commonly used for high-resolution versions of shows. The codec gives good compression and filesize for the quality, whilst not being so CPU intensive. Commercial TV shows like
The Sopranos
are often torrented by fans in XviD for the same reason. To play XviD IPTV shows, all you'll need is the
XviD codec
and Windows Media Player.
Using XviD video compression, 42 minute US TV shows like Lost and 24 can be compressed to under 350MB each.
The legality is interesting.
The other common formats are variations on H.264. This codec provides massive compression at the expense of processing power required to decode. Consequently, this tends to be used for smaller-sized content. It is the required codec for the iPod video, and is commonly used on the PSP too. H.264 content is generally smaller to download and, being comes in 320x240 resolution, quarter-VGA. To play it, you can use

A sad day for the State of Israel
In an action "unprecedented in the democratic world" Moshe Katsav, the eighth President of Israel, has been convicted of rape. The former President is expected to appeal the conviction, which carries a minimum penalty of four years in prison. There is little sympathy for Moshe Katsav on a day that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as "a sad day for the State of Israel and its residents." The Jerusalem Post is left with one question: Should the plaques come down?

Hello everyone,
Just back from a lovely three days riding singletrack in Wales. My 2004 Caldera treated me very well, but I did find the fork lacking, despite my relative newness to mountain biking. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 2006 or used model larger fork, but I wouldn't mind some input.
How large can I go? I've found a few good deals on forks such as the Marzocchi All mountain 2 (130-150mm travel) or 3 (130mm travel). Would such a large change in fork length create huge geometry issues? Can this be compensated for somehow? The bike would be used for trail, singletrack, "careful" DH, and general urban messing about.
I am set on sticking with this bike for the present, learning how to ride properly, and then buying a new full sus possibly end of next year...
Thanks ahead of time!

Konami has just released an impressive E3 trailer and a developer video regarding Metal Gear: Revengence, the new spin off of the MG series that stars the ninja type character Raiden. The trailer reveals the evolution of the "slicing" mechanic and seems to boast far more polish than the previous showing late last year.
There are many, including me, that had been heavily disappointed in the changes to the game from the original concept video from Kojimia production and the first showings of the game. I had enough to say that I wrote this entire commentary on what is wrong with the game. On the latest Lords of Gaming Podcast, I again expressed my concern with the new direction of the game and argued with Rad about it, again. Looks like the team at Platnimum has addressed the concerns of players and have released this very impressive trailer.
The new video makes the game seem more polished than the original trailer and the increased use of the "slice" mechanic that makes Metal Gear: Revengence seem different than just any other third person action game. Action is the key word here as that is focus on this new Metal Gear game. Platinum games have used their strengths as action game creators to give Raiden the action that was only observed in cut scenes in previous Metal Gear Solid games.
The game looks like it will be a lot of fun and I commend Platinum for their work on this game. But this new info doesn't quell all my concerns with the game. The platforming and jumping of the Raiden remind me heavily of the Ninja Gaiden Sigma series. Minus the cool slicing feature, the rest of the swordplay and the way Raiden interacts in the environment are similar to that of Ryu in Ninja Gaiden.
In the developers video, the team said that some objects can be slided and effect the enemies like, for example, the chopping of a leg of a water tower to collapse the whole tower on a group of enemies. I'm concerned there will be objects strategically placed that allow these big action moments to happen. For example, in many games, next to a distant gun turret is usually a red barrel that can be shot and exploded at a distance. I'm worried that there will be water towers near several pockets of enemies making the action a bit more scripted.
Other than the two concerns, both of which are small nit-picks, the new trailer has absolutely addressed some of my concerns with Metal Gear: Revengence. The game will be playable on the E3 floor so we'll be on site to give our impression so keep you eyes peeled on the site. What do you think of the new Metal Gear footage?
