JAN 23, 2013 - Zero Hedge
A Must Read - Share
A few months ago, we asked, "is China an economic miracle or one giant government sponsored fraud?" Our views were the latter with corruption as one of the key driving forces for wealth creation and economic growth in China. Consider the following: In 2010 alone, 146,000 cases of corruption were launched in China (that's 400 PER DAY). Of the 14 cases that were actually reported in the Chinese media, the average amount stolen was 18 MILLION RMB (for perspective, the average college graduate in China earns 2,500 RMB per year). Between 1991-2011,

- 0 Comments about Oregon death penalty halt is only a small gain
There is an eerie sense of ceremony about the death penalty in the United States.
A jury is selected, often over the course of months and one of a juror's key attributes is a willingness to apply the death penalty. The trial will be long. Hours will be spent reviewing resumes to anoint expert witnesses. The prosecutor will probably be fiery and passionate - among the best in the district attorney's office.
After all, death penalty cases are a big investment. The defense lawyer, however, is probably court appointed, less experienced and overworked. The defendant's life will be picked over and yelled about. The defendant will watch silently.
Should the accused plead guilty, he (overwhelmingly those who face the death penalty are men) can avoid some of this theatre. But there is still a sentencing phase, where those ready-to-execute jurors hear why the defendant is the worst of the worst and should die. There are mitigating expert witnesses for the defense, who might be ineffectively used. The sentencing phase alone can last weeks.
Before the deliberation, the judge will read opaque instructions the jurors might not understand. The jurors will say they understand. In closing arguments, the prosecutor might remind jurors they're not actually killing anyone; a whole obstacle course of appeals awaits the defense. Of course, those appeals are designed to tightly limitthe amount of new evidence that can be introduced – even if that evidence suggests innocence. In a 2009 dissenting opinion, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that courts can't save someone from the death penalty on the basis of innocence alone.
So it is good news that Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber said this week he would stop all executions until the end of his term in 2015.
"The death penalty as practiced in Oregon is neither fair nor just; and it is not swift or certain," Kitzhaber wrote in a press release Tuesday.
"It is not applied equally to all. It is a perversion of justice that the single best indicator of who will and will not be executed has nothing to do with the circumstances of a crime or the findings of a jury. The only factor that determines whether someone sentenced to death in Oregon is actually executed is that they volunteer. The hard truth is that in the 27 years since Oregonians reinstated the death penalty, it has only been carried out on two volunteers who waived their rights to appeal."
This moral stand by Kitzhaber - who allowed two executions in his previous term – is positive, but it is hardly enough. There must be a move beyond the magical thinking that lets supporters believe the death penalty is a just, viable solution within an intrinsically flawed legal system.
Kitzhaber is right to say the death penalty is not equitably applied. Disproportionately, death-penalty defendants are black. Victims in these cases are almost always white. Most of the accused are poor, which is why they're often represented by low-quality, court-appointed counsel.
Innocent people certainly have been executed. Cameron Todd Willigham was executed in Texas in 2004, his conviction relied almost entirely on junk science. Earlier this year, activists rallied around Troy Davis, whose guilt was culled from questionable evidence. The Supreme Court of the United States allowed his execution.
Like many rites, the death penalty has its supporters. They say it can save money, keep prisons and communities safer and heal victims' families. None of these things are proved to be true. These ideas are also based on the flawed assumption that the legal system is designed to be fair and just.
The truth is, the death penalty is nothing more than a magical ceremony that is steadily losing its ability to provide comfort or meaning to anyone.

Vegetables for breakfast??? I can hear it now. I must be kidding! No, actually I'm not. Vegetables are one of the best-kept secrets when it comes to initial weight loss AND long term weight management. Dare I say this? As hard as it might seem now, keeping the pounds off once you lose weight can be just as challenging or more than the initial weight loss. Are veggies beginning to sound a little more desirable?
Eating breakfast in the first place is a big deal. We have plenty of research to document that breakfast eaters tend to weigh less than other people. One theory is that filling up at breakfast can lessen the chances of overeating and overcompensating for the missed calories early in the day. The other theory speculates that people who eat breakfast are more likely to have the kind of health-oriented habits that lead to better weight management.
I suspect what is happening is a combination of both. So eating breakfast is a good thing. Eating a balanced breakfast with enough protein, healthy carbs, and a little healthy fat is even better. You can do this quite easily without vegetables. However, vegetables offer a way to add more dietary fiber and other important nutrients for very few calories. Now the benefits of a well-balanced breakfast are even greater. Plus there are lots of ways to add veggies that I bet you might like.
I'll share a bunch of ideas that have worked for me and others. Can you find at least one new breakfast combo you'd like to try? If you have some vegetables for breakfast ideas, please share so we can expand on this list. Thanks!
Veggies pair well with eggs:
-Top scrambled eggs with freshly cut or cooked mushrooms and bell peppers. Add a bit of grated cheese. (I love freshly grated parmigiano reggiano. You get lots of flavor without many calories.)
-Make a scrambled egg wrap. Add scrambled eggs to a whole-wheat tortilla. Top with your favorite low fat salsa and/or sliced black olives.
-Make an omelet. Add chopped leafy greens, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
-Serve a poached egg on whole grain toast. Top with sliced tomatoes.
-Make a veggie and potato frittata.
Veggies with bread:
– Top a couple of slices of whole grain bread with sliced tomatoes and grated low fat mozzarella cheese. Heat in a toaster oven till cheese begins to melt.
– Spread whole grain toast with guacamole or slices of ripe avocado. Enjoy with a cafe au lait (coffee with milk) and a little orange juice to round out the meal.
– Have a low fat, low calorie bran muffin spread with a little peanut butter or other nut butter. Pair with carrot and celery sticks.
– Top a whole grain English muffin with some spreadable light cheese, a couple of slices of tomato, some sliced hard-boiled egg and 2-3 slices of cucumber. Season to taste with a little salt and pepper or other low sodium seasoning.
– Top a whole grain English muffin with a couple of slices of turkey bacon, slices of tomato and 1/4 cup reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese. Toast till the cheese begins to melt.
– Make a low fat provolone cheese sandwich. Stack one slice of whole grain bread with a slice of low calorie, low fat provolone cheese, sliced tomatoes, and creamy avocado. Top with second slice of bread.
Cottage Cheese and Veggies:
– Serve 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese with 1/2 cup avocado chunks and 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (thawed if frozen).
– Serve low fat cottage cheese with chopped fresh veggies of your choice (bell peppers, leafy greens, tomatoes, chopped cucumbers, etc.) Season to taste.
Enjoy leftovers:
– Puree leftover leafy greens (mixed salad greens, spinach, etc.) that might otherwise go to waste. Use as a spread on toast. Add seasonings. Enjoy along with a small chunk of cheese and a piece of fruit.
– Heat up leftover roasted veggies. Have you ever tried roasted chunks of butternut squash (toss with a little olive oil and salt before roasting)? Mmm… good. Pair with a hard-boiled egg, slice of toast, and 4 oz. of juice.
– Reheat a slice or two of leftover veggie pizza. Don't like veggie pizza? Really? I have some great recipes for you. Just ask!
Other possibilities:
– Enjoy a lightly salted baked sweet potato. Pair with scrambled eggs and juice.
– Have you tried my recipe for creamy pumpkin oatmeal? (Scroll down the page. It's the last recipe in that post.)
– Switch out fruit juice and enjoy low sodium tomato juice with your breakfast.
– Fill celery sticks with the nut butter of your choice. Top with raisins. Now you're good to go. Day care kids call this a "walking salad"!
– Some people like veggie smoothies. I haven't tried that yet. (Maybe this is the year I'll make the time and give them a try!)
So how about you? What ways do you enjoy vegetables for breakfast? If you haven't tried veggies for breakfast you could be in for a treat! Better yet you might find those extra pounds melting off without any effort at all.
Have a great week, watch those calories, and eat healthy food!

Deputies scare off bear that broke into Tahoe home
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. A Lake Tahoe family is resting easier after a scary encounter with a black bear that broke into their home in Incline Village.
Washoe County sheriff's spokesman Bob Harmon says a woman and her son had to lock themselves in different rooms for safety's sake Tuesday morning after the 200-pound bear broke through a screen in the kitchen.
Harmon says deputies fired rubber bullets to frighten the bear and it fled into the nearby woods behind the home on Dale Drive.
No one was hurt. State wildlife officials haven't been able to find the bear.

Keeping our clients informed means providing resources via
publishing, speaking events, webinars and any other channel that will
deliver you the information you need — even before contacting us.
Watch Our Video
According to the National Association of Publicly Traded Partnerships website, as of July 2011, there are over 150 partnerships currently trading on major exchanges (www.naptp.org/PTP101/CurrentPTPs.htm). This is a significant increase over the approximately 50 or so partnerships that were publicly traded only five years ago. Many of these entities have met the requirements under Sec. 7704 to be taxed as a partnership and are generally referred to as master limited partnerships (MLPs).
The tax reporting related to these types of investments has become an increasingly significant issue facing the tax practitioner community. Specifically, questions arise as to whether tax practitioners have done an appropriate job of educating taxpayers and investment advisors on the tax complexity and issues associated with these investments, of ensuring the appropriate level of compliance related to these investments by assisting clients with identifying and reporting income on the investments, and of having sufficiently met their professional responsibilities.
What Is an MLP?
Sec. 7704(b) defines a publicly traded partnership (PTP) as any partnership in which (1) the interests in that partnership are traded on an established securities market, or (2) the interests in the partnership are readily tradable on a secondary market. Not all PTPs are taxed as partnerships. Under Sec. 7704(a), a PTP is generally taxed as a corporation. An exception to the general rule applies for partnerships with passive-type income. Under Sec. 7704(c), a PTP may be taxed as a partnership if it meets the qualifying income test—i.e., when "90 percent or more of the gross income of such partnership for such taxable year consists of qualifying income." For purposes of this definition, qualifying income is defined as interest, dividends, real property rents, gains from the sale or other disposition of real property, income and gains derived from natural resources, gains from the sale or disposition of a capital asset, and income and gains from commodities. An MLP is a PTP that meets the requirements under Sec. 7704(c) to be taxed as a partnership.
Identification of an MLP
Perhaps one of the biggest issues in dealing with a taxpayer's investment in an MLP is determining whether or not the taxpayer has in fact invested in one. Clearly, the most basic way to identify this type of investment is upon the receipt of a Schedule K-1 that has marked on its face that the entity is a publicly traded partnership. Many taxpayers do not know that they have invested in MLPs until they receive the K-1. Taxpayers, as well as their investment advisors, generally do not comprehend the fact that publicly traded entities may be taxed as flow-through entities for income tax purposes. They are used to traditional investments, from which they receive dividend payments that are reflected on a Form 1099-DIV at year end, and having capital gains or losses upon the sale of their ownership.
Accordingly, it may be necessary to review and compare the taxpayer's list of investments held at year end and those investments bought and sold during the year to determine if any are MLPs. Although there are a relatively small number of MLPs, this process could be cumbersome and time consuming. In many cases, a combined Form 1099 may indicate MLP distributions made to the taxpayer, which may provide an avenue to identify whether the taxpayer should be receiving a Schedule K-1 from an MLP. However, this form of identification will only assist the practitioner in identifying those MLPs that have made distributions to the taxpayer in a particular year.
Once an MLP investment has been identified, both the practitioner and the taxpayer need to be aware that receipt of the Schedule K-1 from the MLP may not occur until late March, early April, or potentially even later, since the MLP return may not be due until October. What is the most appropriate way to handle this timing issue? Is the taxpayer willing to extend his or her return in order to file once they have received their K-1? Does the taxpayer's return get filed prior to receipt of the Schedule K-1 using some sort of estimate, potentially with the filing of a Form 8082, Notice of Inconsistent Treatment or Administrative Adjustment Request (AAR)? The timing of the receipt of MLP tax information is a pertinent topic that should be thoroughly discussed with the taxpayer, especially when these investments are in a flow-through entity, which may be reporting flow-through income from investments it has made. After identifying an investment as an MLP, the practitioner will need the MLP's Schedule K-1 in order to prepare an accurate return for the client/taxpayer. Many MLPs offer an investor relations website that allows an individual to enter relatively little information (Social Security number/employer identification number and the name on the account) to view his or her Schedule K-1 from the entity. However, not all MLPs have this type of service, and the taxpayer (or tax practitioner with appropriate permission) may need to contact the entity's investor relations department directly in order to obtain the relevant information copy of the Schedule K-1.
Income Reporting
While tax practitioners deal with pass-through entities on a regular basis and understand the general reporting requirements of income from pass-through entities, there are some unique issues related to MLP investments that need to be considered.
One of the potentially most unusual tax compliance issues is dealing with the passive activity rules for PTPs under Sec. 469(k), in which the passive activity loss limitation rules are applied to MLPs on an entity-by-entity basis. Basically, this requires that each unit holder of an MLP treat any loss from the MLP separately from any income or loss generated from any other passive activity (including other MLPs). For example, if the taxpayer has passive income from MLP A and passive losses from MLP B, the losses from B will carry over to the next tax year because they cannot be used to reduce the passive income recognized from A. However, if in the next tax year B has passive income, the passive losses from the previous year can then be used to offset the current year's passive income from B. Furthermore, the rules under Sec. 469(e)(1) state that passive income does not include any gross income from interest, dividends, annuities, or royalties not derived in the ordinary course of business; expenses that are clearly and directly allocable to those types of income; and gains or losses not derived in the ordinary course of a trade or business attributable to producing the portfolio income described above or otherwise held for investment. This means that portfolio income shown on the Schedule K-1 from an MLP is generally taxable to the unit holder, but any losses considered to be passive may be suspended under Sec. 469.
While not necessarily unique to MLP investments, another issue that needs to be considered is the appropriate level of state tax compliance. Many MLPs, especially those in oil and gas and related businesses, may have operations in multiple states. Generally these MLPs will provide information for income or loss from the activity that is allocable to each state. States each have their own separate rules as to who must file a return, and investing in pass-through entities with business operations in a particular state may trigger a filing requirement for the owner/taxpayer in that state. In practice, many individuals probably do not meet their state tax compliance obligations in this area. However, the tax practitioner needs to consider the appropriateness of a position not to file in a particular state and inform the taxpayer of the potential exposure of a failure to file as compared with the costs of complying with the filing requirement. The tax practitioner should consider what his or her professional responsibilities are in the matter of the state tax compliance and—where appropriate —limit the scope of tax preparation services in the engagement letter to only those specific returns that the practitioner has been engaged by the client/ taxpayer to prepare. The tax practitioner's engagement letter should affirmatively state that the client is responsible for determining filing requirements outside the scope of the engagement and for the preparation of all returns not included in the engagement letter.
Another potential trap for the unwary occurs when IRAs and other tax-exempt entities invest in MLPs. MLPs may generate unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) that should be reported to the tax-exempt investor on the MLP's Schedule K-1. Depending on the amount of UBTI, the tax-exempt entity may be required to pay unrelated business income tax (UBIT) and file the appropriate tax returns. To emphasize, many taxpayers and some investment advisors may not realize this or even realize that they are purchasing investments in pass-through entities. As such, the tax practitioner should focus on this educational process with all clients who rely on the practitioner for tax advice.
Disclosure Requirements
Another tax compliance issue to consider when dealing with MLPs relates to the proper disclosures taxpayers must make with respect to purchases and sales of MLP units. Many MLP K-1s suggest that a Sec. 754 disclosure statement (when partnership interests are bought because the interests may contain certain basis adjustments) and a Sec. 751 disclosure statement (when partnership interests are sold) may be required by the unit holder. The tax practitioner should carefully read these K-1s for these and other types of disclosures (reportable transactions, PFICs, etc.) that may be required on the unit holder's tax return. The tax practitioner should also consider the appropriateness and the consequences of disclosing (or not disclosing) some of the information reported to the taxpayer on the Schedule K-1.
Sales of MLP Interest
Inevitably, taxpayers who invest in MLPs will sell some or all of their units of the MLP, and gain or loss will need to be calculated. How will the practitioner recognize a sales transaction? If the taxpayer has completely sold out of the position, the Schedule K-1 that the client receives should be marked as final. If the taxpayer sells only part of its interest, the sale may not be so clear. A unit purchases-and-sales schedule is often included with the Schedule K-1. As with any investment in a partnership, the original purchase price will not be a true reflection of the taxpayer's basis in the partnership units. However, many reports of gains or losses received from brokers use original cost as the basis for sales in the MLP units. Accordingly, the tax practitioner should adjust these gain and loss schedules to appropriately reflect the taxpayer's adjustments to basis in the units for the flow-through activity related to the units sold. Some MLPs attach a schedule to the K-1, reflecting units sold and adjustments to basis, which enables the preparer to calculate the actual gain. In addition, the MLP will report the amount of ordinary gain under Sec. 751 and may provide the adjustments to basis for AMT purposes. However, some K-1s do not contain this information, and the tax practitioner or taxpayer will need to calculate the basis to be used for reporting the sale of the MLP units based on current and prior K-1s received. Accordingly, part of the annual tax return preparation process might include the calculation of a taxpayer's adjusted basis (including AMT basis) in these investments. A portion of the gain on the sale of an MLP interest may be considered ordinary gain under Sec. 751. As explained above, this will generally be noted as an attachment on the K-1 and should be considered accordingly in the tax preparation.
These types of basis adjustments and characterization of gains/losses for tax purposes may create some unanticipated tax consequences if not considered thoroughly. Also, the disposition of the taxpayer's full interest in the MLP activity would trigger the realization of any previously suspended passive activity losses from that activity. The issues related to basis are also a concern due to proposed legislation that would make basis reporting mandatory for brokers of transactions involving publicly traded securities, which includes MLPs. On May 13, 2008, the House passed H.R. 3221, which included a provision that would require brokers to report cost basis information to shareholders and the IRS along with the long-term or short-term nature of any gain or loss. Ultimately, there are questions as to how tax information for MLPs may be reported to brokers so they can comply with these requirements. Since brokers are currently required to report only the proceeds from the sales of securities via a Form 1099-B, mandatory basis reporting would be a major shift that needs to be considered. In the meantime, the taxpayer, with guidance from his or her tax practitioner, will probably continue to bear the responsibility of calculating and tracking tax basis in these investments.
It is important for practitioners to inform their clients and/or investment advisors as to the tax compliance complexity related to investing in MLPs. As the focus of the taxpayer and the investment advisor is generally on investment performance, the tax compliance issues related to MLPs may not have been an important consideration. Over the past few years, MLPs holding oil, gas, and other energy-related properties have generated a lot of investor interest due to their return on investment. Experience indicates that, as a whole, tax practitioners have not educated their clients about the tax issues related to these investments. The complexities should not necessarily deter a taxpayer from investing in MLPs, but the taxpayer should be informed of the additional cost of compliance when considering whether to make the investment. It is up to the CPA profession to make clients aware of these complexities.

Mariah Carey entertained crowds at an outdoor concert in Austria over the weekend, and though frigid temperatures kept Mariah in full ski gear, she still managed to suffer a minor wardrobe malfunction:
Yep, the new mom earned a place in the Cameltoe Hall of Fame with the form-fitting spandex number she wore on stage. What we're seeing in this pic probably wasn't visible to the average Austrian in the crowd, but with the benefit of modern photographic technology, we can see what appears to be a seriously uncomfortable situation taking place between Mariah's legs.
But hey, she sang on like a trooper, and as embarrassing stage incidents go, a little cameltoe is way better than leaking a mysterious liquid down your leg.

Winter finally hit here in the midwest. Snowy, cold, dreary...that calls for a night of margaritas, Mexican food, a warm fire and some movies. Time to relax and splurge a little on the food front. I have had a hankerin' for some good Mexican food and my favorite blackberry margarita. I have been buying some really good blackberries lately, even though they are not in season.
So, the evening will start with this:
Blackberry Margarita Recipe:
1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 lime
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup 100% agave blanco tequila
3/4 cup Grand Marnier or Cointreau - I love both
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
12 ounces fresh blackberries
sprigs of mint
Combine 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar and kosher salt in a dish. Cut lime into 9 wedges; rub rims of 8 glasses with 1 lime wedge. Dip rims of glasses in salt mixture. Combine water and 1/2 cup sugar in a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave at HIGH 2 1/2 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar; cool. Combine syrup, tequila, Grand Marnier, fresh lime juice, and blackberries in a blender; process until smooth. Strain mixture through a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a pitcher; discard solids. Serve over ice. Garnish with remaining lime wedges and mint.
And will follow with:
Chimichurri Halibut Tacos
Grilled Pineapple-Avocado Salsa
Baked Black Beans
The movie selections for tonight:
What is the forecast where you live?
Have a fabulous weekend!

Why is a privately-held Plano telecom company buying a publicly-traded firm in Minneapolis?
Plano-based Goodman Networks Inc. announced today it is buying Minneapolis-based Multiband Corp. in a deal valued at $116 million.
Executives at Goodman Networks said the deal makes sense for the privately-held telecommunications solutions provider. Goodman Networks helps clients such as AT&T and Sprint design, build and maintain networks.
Publicly-traded Multiband is a smaller company by revenue: $306 million vs. $650 million at Goodman Networks. Multiband provides installation services for cable and satellite television providers. DirecTV is a huge client.
Under the deal, Goodman Networks is paying $3.25 per Multiband share. That represents a 26 percent premium over Tuesday's closing price. Goodman Networks will also redeem Multiband's preferred stock and repay the company's debt.
The boards of both companies approved the deal. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter.
Multiband has a 45-day "go-shop" provision, allowing it to seek superior proposals. If Multiband goes with another offer, it has to pay a break-up fee of $5 million to $6 million.

War and Peace
by Leo Tolstoy
War and Peace Volume 3, Part 1, Chapter 14 Summary
- In the middle of the night, everyone is woken up – the army is on the march again to a village called Ostrovna.
- Nikolai and Ilyin get ready and ride off. Nikolai is on an a fantastic campaign horse. He is amazed to see that already he knows how to deal with the fear of coming battle – mostly by ignoring it and staying in the moment.
- Ilyin, meanwhile, is freaking out, like all newbies do.
- After a little while, the regiment lines up behind the front line of the army. The front line is already fighting the enemy and they can hear the sounds of battle.
- Orders come to attack, and Nikolai hears the sound of bullets. The sound is exciting and he gets all pumped for action.
- As they ride toward the battle, the guys in front of them ride down to the fighting and then quickly ride back.

Two months of milling and repaving work on the Kensington Expressway from downtown to the Scajaquada Expressway is expected to wrap up this morning. But plenty more work is on tap this year and in 2014 for one of the area's highest-volume thoroughfares.
"I would say with the paving, we're about at 50 percent complete," said Susan S. Surdej, spokeswoman for the regional office of the state Department of Transportation.
New guardrails will be installed in both directions of the Kensington from the Scajaquada to Harlem Road. Crews also will be doing drainage repairs on that section of the expressway through the remainder of this construction season.
In addition, new traffic signs will be installed this season from Elm and Oak streets downtown to the Scajaquada ramp.
Those projects will conclude phase one of an $11.2 million overhaul of the Kensington from downtown to Harlem Road – about six miles of the expressway.
Concrete Applied Technologies Co. of Alden has been doing the work. Most of it has been done overnight to limit lane closures and traffic detours during peak commuting times.
A second phase of the project is slated to begin with the start of the 2014 construction season and continue through next June. It will include repaving from the Scajaquada to Harlem Road in both directions, as well as new signs on that portion of the expressway.
An estimated 83,000 vehicles use the Kensington Expressway each workday.
The state Department of Transportation also plans to seek bids in February for repaving the remainder of the Kensington from Harlem Road to its end at Genesee Street in Cheektowaga – about three miles.
That construction is slated to begin sometime in 2014.

Sep 2016 Chapter Evening Event
The Value of Project Management
Making Emotional Conversations Unemotional
Wednesday, September 14, 2016

Potawatomi Hotel & Casino
Harmony Room
1721 W Canal St, Milwaukee, WI 53233
Rick A. Morris, PMP, MPM, ITIL, OPM3
Presentation Summary:
Project managers are routinely faced with dilemmas, such as sponsors mandating unreachable dates, teams unable to give reliable estimates, changing priorities and scope, and a myriad of other issues. The reactions to these issues generally range from utter frustration to apathy. The reactions then lead to emotional conversations such as "We can't possibly do this by then!" or "The Sponsor doesn't understand!" This presentation shows you how to take emotionally charged situations and turn them into unemotional conversations. It's not the latest fad or psychology, but a simple, time-tested, experience-based method to communicate with the entire project team from the stakeholders to the team members. This presentation identifies techniques for dealing with mandated dates to the extremely tense post negotiation of a project gone very wrong. These techniques are applicable for internal project managers, consultants, and any level in between.

Online "marketing" company Webloyalty has settled with the New York AG for $5.2 mil. You know how when you buy movie tickets and at the end it says, "You won a free $10 gift certificate!"

Expedia Drops Fee For Booking By Phone
This morning, travel service Expedia announced it will abandon its book by phone fee, which it first implemented last May. This makes it the only major online travel agency to not ding customers with a fee for booking flights over the phone, notes consumer travel advocate Christopher Elliott.

CNET has a great article today about sneak attack merchants Webloyalty/Webvertrue/Reservation Rewards. It focuses on the relationship between Buy.com and the company that is suspect enough that the federal government is now interested.
Orbitz Can't Deliver On Tickets It Sold, But Can't Deliver The Refund Either
Austin bought two tickets to Aruba last December. By the end of February, Orbitz had changed his itinerary so many times that now they were only flying him as far as Atlanta, and 11 days later were flying him back from Aruba—it was apparently up to him to get from Atlanta to Aruba in the first place. At this point, the only option was to request a refund, which Orbitz said would take 60 days. Two months later, Orbitz told Austin that they'll give him his money back in 60 days. We're pretty sure that's 120 days total, and there's still no guarantee Austin will see his money.
Hertz Holds Your Rental Hostage For Cash Deposit, To Be Returned In 2 Weeks
Ryan's wife is currently traveling alone with their 3-month-old son on the way to an unexpected funeral near Salt Lake, Utah. Despite the fact that she paid for the rental up front as part of an Orbitz package, the local Hertz jerks are refusing to give her the car unless she goes to an ATM and brings back $200 cash, which they say they will mail back in check form a few weeks after she returns the car. Even Hertz says this isn't their policy, but they can't seem to stay on the phone long enough to help Ryan and his wife.
Orbitz Tries To Sneak Bus Onto Plane (Ticket)
You'd think a whole bus is hard to hide but Orbitz had no problem trying to sneak one past Harry McCracken when he was booking a flight to Las Vegas. He noticed at checkout there was a $14 ground transportation fee that had been "added for [his] convenience." Paging backwards, tucked in a list of about 40 upgrades and local attractions was a $14 bus fee. The tricky part was that all the others were opt-in and this one was opt-out. Naughty Orbitz, trying to sneak a bus onto an airplane!
Four Reasons Not To Book Your Hotel Room Through A Third-Party Site

When Buying Travel Insurance, Find Out What's Covered First
Richard is angry. He paid good money for travel insurance when he purchased tickets to Italy, and when he ended up having to work over vacation he canceled the trip and filed a claim. Access America denied it because being required to work during a trip isn't covered by Richard's benefit plan.

Telling An Orbitz Rep What A Blogger Is
There was an amusing little tangent in my conversation yesterday with an Orbitz rep when I went to change my ticket. Talking with her was the first time I've ever hinted to a telephone customer service rep that I write for The Consumerist.
Orbitz Supervisor Plays Hardball With USAir, Gets Them To Rebook Tickets
Nicholas had a business trip go bad quickly when USAir canceled a flight and wouldn't make things right again. His tickets were through Orbitz, and although he had a terrible experience with Orbitz's first line of CSRs, he eventually managed to find a supervisor who made sure USAir helped solve the problem—even going so far as to let Nicholas secretly listen in on a call with a USAir agent.
Reach Orbitz's Customer Service Head Honcho
If you have a problem with Orbitz and regular customer service and escalating to a supervisor doesn't help you, give this gal a call.
Update: Orbitz Sent Reader To Collections For Ticket They Never Sold Him
Here's some updates on the post about reader Josh, whom Orbitz wanted to make pay for a ticket they never sold him and he never used. Turns out that between when he sent his original letter to us in February and when we posted it, Orbitz sent him to collections. But now that his story got on here and Digg, Orbitz's ass-covering machine has been activated…
Orbitz: Pay For Ticket We Never Sold You Or Else
Reach Orbitz Executive Customer Service
I'm just getting situated here and it's amazing how many unfounded complaints there are in the old Consumerist tipbox about Orbitz. It's really not fair, so, to counteract that and the negative stories Consumerist posted, here's the number for their HQ: (312) 894-5000. Ask to be transferred to the office of Steven Barnhart.
Even Physicists Are Not Smart Enough to Avoid Getting Screwed By Orbitz
We're not saying the rest of you are dumb, but when physicists from CalTech can't manage to make travel arrangements without getting stuck with hundreds of dollars in "change fees," there might be a problem with the website. And by problem we might mean "scam." And by scam, we might mean, "policies designed to increase fees by being deliberately confusing and overly restrictive." In this case, Sean, a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Physics at the California Institute of Technology, was trying to book a new ticket with money from a credit on a previously canceled ticket, which is much harder than identifying the unified field theory.

Clark, why did you say that? Why? Why Clark? You're my hero, Clark. You come out with stink like that. Poop, you poop mouth! Poop out of your mouth.
The Summer of 1992 was a great Summer for a pre-adolescent boy. Kathy Ireland was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. The Minnesota Twins were the defending champions. And most importantly, the greatest basketball players in the history of the world were teaming up to destroy the rest of the world.
For me, the "Dream Team" was one of my favorite things to happen in sports, ever. Just telling me Larry Bird was going to be involved would have sold me, but adding David Robinson and John Stockton to the mix while giving me a reason to root for the uber talented players that normally broke my heart was more than I ever could have imagined. I begged my mom for triple cheeseburger meals from McDonalds because they came with the commemorative Dream Team soda cups. I collected Coca Cola cans so I could trade them in for the Olympic mix tape that included the Fresh Prince's homage to the team. You might say I was a little obsessed.
So when Kobe Bryant, a person I loathe, recently said the newest incarnation of the USA Men's National team could beat the team from 1992, I should have been irate. Instead, I agreed.
Most people think I'm crazy. Michael Jordan, for one. Another guy was President Obama. And, of course, Charles Barkley weighed in with his belief that only three players from the current team (Kobe, LeBron, and Kevin Durant) would even have been selected to the team in 1992.
Those guys are wrong. Here are the arguments for why the Dream Team would destroy the '12 team and why they're garbage:
The Dream Team consisted of the best players to ever play the game.
Putting aside that Chris Mullin and Christian Laettner received roster spots, it was only true at the time. The team led by Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird would have beaten the all star team of any other era, but for the same reason the 2012 team would do the same. Athletes get better.
Think about it. No one would question that Michael Phelps would leave Mark Spitz in his wake if they were to race against each other with each being in the respective primes. In fact, Spitz (who dominated the 1968 and 1972 games) swimming his fastest wouldn't even make the U.S. Swim team today. Yet somehow, people think that basketball players peaked twenty years ago. That is nowhere close to true.
Exercise and training routines have improved exponentially over the years. More importantly, athlete's commitment to both has changed immensely. In the nineties, Michael Jordan was an anomaly because he lifted weights during the off season. These days, a player who does not commit to improve himself when basketball is not being played does not play for very long. The drive Jordan showed then would only be enough to keep up with the Joneses today.
The same could be said for the elite athleticism that gave Jordan such an edge. He was a track star that had basketball skills. Now that's the truth of all basketball players. These days point guards, particularly Thunder star and 2012 Olympian Russell Westbrook, can dunk as easily as Jordan who was the best of his time.
Watch the commercial that is embedded above. In it, 1992 team member Scottie Pippen is transported back in time thirty years where he plays against the basketball players of that era. He easily dominates them using crazy new fangled innovations to the game like dribbling behind his back and being able to dunk. These days, he's the old timer. People in 1992 had never conceived of the Euro step that James Harden uses or the crab dribble that LeBron utilizes to make fools of today's players. The best athletes of 1992 would be among the worst now. Yet, no one questioned the truth behind the Pippen commercial then.
Everyone on the Dream Team was a Hall-of-Famer
There was a mystique behind the '92 team because the players all had storied careers. They had storied careers because they were past their primes. In twenty years, most of this 2012 team will also be boasting plaques in the Hall of Fame, the difference is that now they are in their prime as opposed to the '92 team that featured Larry Bird contemplating retirement and Magic two years into retirement. The related argument is…
The 2012 team's youth would do them in
Here's the thing. The 2012 team is loaded with players that are babies compared to the 1992 team. Just looking at the Thunder players on the roster (who make up 25% of the team), Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden are all approximately 23 years old. In 1992, Barkley, Jordan, and Ewing were at or around 30 (Magic and Bird were much older…only Robinson-27-and Laettner-22-were considered young). Except, by professional experience, it is a wash. Jordan had just completed his seventh NBA season. LeBron James, two years younger, just finished his ninth. Even Durant has five years of NBA service, that's three more than than David Robinson who was four years older.
The current team would have no answer for Dream Team's post play
It is true that the 1992 team boasted some of the best centers to ever play the game in Patrick Ewing and David Robinson. In addition, they had Charles Barkley and Karl Malone at power forward. With the exception of Tyson Chandler the 2012 team has no traditional big men. While Chandler is probably superior defensively to any of those guys, he is only one man and five fouls.
That said, what the current incarnation lacks in traditional strength, they more than make up for in non-traditional ability. LeBron James may be a small forward, but he's bigger and stronger and more skilled than any of Dream Team's power forwards (the position James plays for the National Team). In addition, he's a better ball handler and passer than Barkley or Malone who never had to guard anyone of similar skill with their limited defensive abilities. Kevin Durant, who will also be playing power forward in London, is just as much of a challenge for them. Those guys never had to play perimeter defense, which means Durant could blow right past them or else shoot open jumpers. It would turn the 92 team's advantage into a disadvantage.
Also, the current team is light years ahead at the point guard position. In 1992, Magic Johnson had just set out a year after learning he had HIV. As such, he was out of shape and not at the top of his game. The only other point guard on the roster was John Stockton who played the Olympic games one legged because of a stress fracture. Scottie Pippen had to run the offense most of the time. Not having strong point guard play, neutralizes the offensive advantage in the post because of the lack of a person to get the pass inside. This was not a problem for the Dream Team because they were so much more talented than their competition and just turned every play into a fast break.
Against a US Team from a different era, they would not possess a sizeable talent advantage. Moreover, this 2012 team has three great point guards (Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Russell Westbrook) all of whom would put considerable defensive pressure on a team without a true ball handler.
Dream Team destroyed everyone they played, the 2012 team struggled to beat Brazil
Brazil would have annihilated the best team Dream Team played. A lot has changed since 1992, much of it because the Dream Team existed. The attention brought to the game of international basketball because of the US team that year changed the way the rest of the world handled their national teams. More programs Americanized their training, opened up their borders, and generally emulated everything the U.S. team was doing. It also convinced more tall kids in other nations to give up soccer.
Whereas basketball in the early '90s was isolationist and limited to being as good as their limited predecessors from their country, now the game is global. Kids from China wear Kobe jerseys (not just because they were the ones who put it together at the factory) and emulate moves they saw KD do on YouTube. That Brazillian team that gave the Americans a good fight on Monday possessed enough NBA players that Anderson Varejao (a guy most NBA teams covet) had to come off the bench. That was not the case in 1992 where a developing Toni Kukoc was the most talented player that suited up against the Dream Team.
Michael Jordan would never let his team lose
First I take on the mythology of the Dream Team, and now I have to try to take the great M.J. down a peg. Here it goes: This line of thinking exists because Jordan won six championships in the last six full seasons he played (let's just pretend the Wizards charade never happened). That is impressive, but it's also kind of the way it should have happened.
Because of salary cap rules restricting the maximum amount of money a player can earn, talent these days tends to pool together. A guy can make the same amount and play for a winner as he could playing for a loser. In the nineties, that wasn't the case. Since players could make more money if they were the best player on the team, they tended to distribute around the league better.
In the eighties, the Bulls followed the current Thunder plan. They drafted two players (Jordan and Pippen) who turned out to be superstars. Then they got stocked the team with talent surrounding those two. A recent ESPN Insider piece said that, statistically, the Bulls had the seventh (Jorden, Pippen, and Toni Kukoc) and first (Jordan, Pippen, and Horace Grant) best threesome in NBA history. (Sidenote: The team with Kukoc was actually even better than that considering they had hall of famer Dennis Rodman as their fourth banana.) Meanwhile, the rest of the league was lucky to have one superstar and no cap space to bring in a second. The best team the Bulls played during their reign was the Utah Jazz, who similarly drafted John Stockton and Karl Malone in successive drafts.
If that Bulls team had played today with superteams being the norm, there is no way they put together a reign of similar proportion. Certainly the Heat with LeBron/Dwyane Wade/Chris Bosh, Thunder with Durant/Westbrook/Harden, Lakers with Kobe/Pau Gasol/Andrew Bynum, or Spurs with Tim Duncan/Tony Parker/Manu Ginobili put a dent in their run.
Had Jordan played in the current landscape, won maybe a couple of championships, his aura of being the greatest winner of all time certainly wouldn't exist.
Would the 2012 team beat the 1992 team? I think so. I doubt it would be a blowout like this well thought out argument at CNN suggests, but if it were a seven game series, I think the 2012 team would win in six games. The X-factor would be Kevin Durant who is the ultimate international player. He has the height of a post player, the ball handling ability of a guard, the athletic ability of an Olympic high jumper, and the shooting talent of an alien robot. No one on any team in any era has an answer for this guy. Until the 2032 Olympic team is assembled.
Clark, why did you say that? Why? Why Clark? You're my hero, Clark. You come out with stink like that. Poop, you poop mouth! Poop out of your mouth.
Nice one
Exactly, run the Dream team to death, actually play some defense and beat them in game 6 or 7. Plus if some of the injured players from the 2012 team could play they would be even stronger. I'd like to see them drop a guard and pick up some more size, but they still take the Dream team in a 7 game series.
kids these days…
the point guard play was much better on the 1992 team.
Karl Malone and Charles Barkley were still in their prime, and no way anyone on the current dream team could match up. (no, LeBron is not a 4)
Then do I even need to mention Ewing and Robinson inside? Who in the hell on this team is going to stop that?
I'm not even talking about Jordan yet, the best basketball player in the history of basketball.
LeBron would get his, no doubt, but that's the LeBron rule, you let him get his.
Could the current team beat them..yes, but not in a 7 game series.
I think you forget just how good those 11 hall of famers were. Larry Bird was done, so I'm not even counting him. Most of them weren't past their primes either, just Bird and Magic, to say Michael was past his prime in 1992 shows just how ignorant this article is.
Magic had been retired and hadn't played for more than a year (unless you count the all star game) and Stockton was injured. Both hardly played. There were no other point guards.
really think you need a point guard with MJ? Magic was only a year out of playing, not like his skills eroded that much. Koby is 33, Magic was 32
Stockton did miss the first 5 games in Barcelona, yes, but the year he got hurt, he averaged 15 points and 13 assists a game in the NBA.
He also played another 11 years (after 1992)
I still don't think you addressed your assertion that all of these players were past their prime.
Sorry I had to come back and post something already, but your incorrect statement of "everyone past their primes" shows just how little you researched this
Laetner 22 (ok, it was him, but he was on the team lol)
Ewing 29
Drexler 30
Robinson 26
Bird 35 (truly the most over the hill player on the team)
Mullin 28 (better spot up shooter than anyone on the current team)
Stockton 30 (played many more years)
Malone 28
Magic 32 (close to out of his prime, but still a horrible matchup for anyone on the current team)
Pippen 26 (say what you want, but he would lock down Lebron)
Barkley 29
Jordan 29
really? past their prime eh?
The argument that the post players would own the game seems most relevant to me. Everybody always forgets Hakeem Olajuwon was on that team as well. So lets see Robinson, Olajuwan and Ewing taking equal shots with fresh legs against…………Tyson Chandler? They would obliterate him.
Hakeem was on Dream Team II. I don't think he was a US citizen in '92.
Ouch, I stand corrected.
You need to lay off the crack!
At the risk of my 12 year old self punching me in the nuts, I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. Fun post.
Agreed. Athleticism is at a different level today. They simply could not hang with the Durant Team.
MJ, Karl Malone, Barkley, Pippen, and David Robinson have just as much "athleticism" as anyone on the current team.
You are too young to remember just how good those players were in their prime.
Everyone of those players were still in their prime.
I think Oklahomans tend to romanticize anything that KD does, and thats ok. Our grandchildren will one day he had the powers of Mr. Fantastic and slayed the Hydra, but I just have hard time believin this team beats the 92 team. Those guys were dirty, nasty, filthy human beings who would rather kill your family than lose to you. Only ONE player on this team is truly brutally cut throat, and that man is Kobe. The game would be competitive and definitely extend into multiple overtimes, but the Dream Team would prevail. Just look at how MJ used to treat one of his best friends growing up, Mugsy Bouges, he verbally and emotionally ravaged him on the court. The Dream Team didn't want to win, they wanted to kill. And saying the Brazillian team would beat the Dream Team, thats outlandish, foolish, and hyperbolic. You know better. I love you're sports commentary though. You should give it up to yourself more often.
To clarify, I said this Brazil team would have essentially been the silver medalist in 1992. But I think the Dream Team would have struggled to put them away.
You're so fucking high. No chance against '92.
9 of 11 members of the '92 Dream Team are or will be Hall of Famers. 3 of the current Dream Team will be make it to the Hall. Enough said!
Clark, I am sorry but you must have had one too many at the 51st St Speakeasy. KD and Westbrook and The Beard are wonderful basketball players, and from what I know, 2 of the 3 are good people. But they have not demonstrated that they have what it takes to win a championship…which is what the Gold Medal is. The Dream Team had so many rings they looked like Mr. T's hand and our boys in blue aren't there yet.
DT12 will win a gold, but they could never beat the original Dream Team.
Excellent post. First of all, the basketball HOF is worthless. I didn't even know Chris Mullin was a hall of famer. Drexler? Meh. And I think nostalgia is causing everyone to misremember Ewing and Robinson as skilled offensive forces. The problem for this group is they will never have the best from this era all playing together like the Dream Team. With Rose, Wade and Howard this team would be pretty sick. Even with the current roster, I don't think it's too far-fetched to think they could hang with the '92 team.
Thanks! Your message has been sent!

Can you guys whether the chick you're looking at is hot or heavy? We bet you suck at this game.
We show you a picture of a chick's face and you have to guess what the rest of her looks like. Is she hot, or heavy?
We show you the face of a beautiful young lady, the only problem is you can't see the rest of her body. You have to guess if she eats salads or small cars.
We show you the picture of a girl's face and you have to guess whether she's a hotty or a big fat lady! It's hard. That's what she said!
See if you can tell the difference between real photos of famous girls whoring it up for the camera and Photoshopped forgeries.
We show you a picture from a famous movie and you have to tell us whether it's from a sex scene or murder scene. This is for movie nerds and perverts only.
Follow the greats like Axl Rose and Tommy Lee and get yourself in fighting shape with the Heavy Metal Diet. Side effects include alcoholism, herpes and heroin addiction.
We show you a picture of a hotty with her friend whose face is covered. You have to guess if the friend is sexy or ugly!
Kanye West and Beyonce can play a mean game of Connect Four which is probably more than you can say for Dr. Jan Adams.
Appalachian State made some history this weekend and beat the Michigan Wolverines. They most likely won because of this awesome recruiting video.
We wonder if we look this hot while changing our clothes. Sadly, we'll never know because we change our clothes in the dark.
Coca-Cola, stars & stripes bikini, and stripper heels, that is a presidential platform we support!
There are worse jobs than being the guy who fondles Alessandra Ambrosio to get her bikini just right.

IndyCar Series points leader Ryan Briscoe added one more vital point to his total Friday at ChicagolandSpeedway, qualifying on the pole for Saturday night's PEAK Indy 300. The championship point heearned for the pole gives Briscoe a five-point lead, 498-493, over Dario Franchitti, with three racesremaining.
Defending race winner Helio Castroneves qualified second, alongside teammate Briscoe, to make it anall-Team Penske front row. Franchitti qualified third for Target Chip Ganassi Racing, with his teammateand remaining title challenger, Scott Dixon, in sixth. Andretti Green Racing's Tony Kanaan posted hisbest qualifying run since Milwaukee to line up fourth, with Graham Rahal fifth for the Newman HaasLanigan Racing team.
Saturday night's 200-lap race, the first of three oval races that will close out the 2009 IndyCar season,
starts at 10 p.m. EDT, with live television coverage on Versus.
Ryan Briscoe (#6 Team Penske Honda) pole qualifier, his fourth pole of 2009 and 8th career
IndyCar pole:
"Obviously, it was a good run. Today, it really helped to be at the back of the [qualifying]
line. I heard from [teammate] Helio [Castroneves, who had qualified earlier] on how his car was working
and the track conditions, and that certainly helped me prepare for my run. All four [qualifying] laps were
really strong. I had to make just a few adjustments to keep the front end 'under the car', but it was a pretty
smooth run -- and one more championship point."
