The Belly Fat Cure
Use the Carb Swap System to smash belly fat!Top Rated Diet Pills of 2016
The Belly Fat Cure is a new book written by Jorge Cruise that promises to help you lose four to nine pounds every week with his Carb Swap System.
The Carb Swap System involves eliminating excess sugar and processed carbohydrates. With this plan, you eat a recommended 15 grams of sugar and 6 servings of carbs each day. Being able to lose four to nine pounds each week is definitely an inspirational goal for many that are trying to lose weight. Although you can lose this amount of weight, Cruise states that only two to three pounds will be from 100% belly fat. The rest of the weight comes from false belly fat, which is trapped waste matter.
The Belly Fat Cure talks in depth about the true reason that you are overweight. According to Cruise it's because of the hidden sweeteners in food that deliver belly-fattening sugar and carb values to your diet.
The Belly Fat Cure also offers an eating guide that gives you smart and affordable food choices. There are more than 1,500 food options that are broken into categories specifically for carboholics, meat lovers, chicken and seafood fans, chocoholics, fast-food junkies and vegans. With the Belly Fat Cure, you don't have any specific timing or scheduling around when you eat.
EDITOR'S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner as Sletrokor for better results
- Includes several recipes
- Foods for those that love meat, carbs, chocolate or seafood
- Also includes foods for vegans
- Will result in weight loss if followed correctly
- Easy plan to follow
- Encourages a nutritious way of eating
- Author has written several other books on weight loss
- There's a companion iPhone and iPad app called The Belly Fat Cure Sugar & Carb Counter
- Exercise not encouraged for losing weight
- Focus on insulin instead of calories may be hard for some to grasp
- Healthy rate of weight loss should be one to two pounds per week
Through the Belly Fat Cure program, the focus is the patented Carb Swap System for losing weight. The Carb Swap System focuses on 15 grams of sugar per day and 6 servings of carbs. The Carb Swap System also helps eliminate those hidden sugars from your diet that are contributing to weight gain and difficulty losing weight. There are thorough lists of foods that you can eat while on the program, along with several recipes.
Here are some of the recipes that are included:
- Breakfast: Zesty Quiche Lorraine
- Lunch: Simple Swiss & Mushroom Burger
- Dinner: Crispy Fish & Chips
- Snack: Sweet Strawberry Smoothie
Jorge Cruise does not encourage exercise for the purpose of losing weight, but for reducing stress, toning and staying strong. Exercise is not required to lose weight following the Belly Fat Cure program.
A couple of workouts that are recommended by Jorge Cruise include his program called 8 Minutes in the Morning and his advanced program called The 12-Second Sequence. Both of these exercise routines are available through books with the same titles.
Some of the exercises recommended in The Belly Fat Cure book are designed specifically to whittle down your midsection. Some of the recommendations given include:
- Walking: get in a 20-minute power walk as often as possible
- 8 Minute Ab Sculptor program: Toe reach, reverse crunch and other exercises
The Belly Fat Cure by well-known fitness guru, Jorge Cruise, is a book that will give you the results you're looking for and help you lose weight at a consistent rate. The program does seem to be mainly for those looking to reduce belly fat rather than their overall weight. If belly fat has been a problem for you, this program might serve as a great guide to help with that.
There are several delicious recipes included no matter what type of eater you are. The book does include both an eating and exercise plan, although the exercise portion is completely optional. Getting rid of belly fat can be a great step towards improving your overall health.Common Misspellings

How to Maintain Once I Met My Optimal Weight I have followed the diet and have lost 13 pounds. At this point I do not want to lose anymore weight. I am 5'2" and 121 lbs. How do I maintain without losing anymore weight?
I have started Feb 21/2015 I'm down 6.5 pounds I did the carb swap diet I had an issue in the 2nd week of being constipted gained that week but added more fiber with vegs the next week lots the weight & extra .
I have tried all diets & was with weight watchers for 2 years & couldn't loose that was in the last 3 years ,also under a dietitian care for 6 months in 2014 at my Dr office I have been the same weight give & take by 1 pound for the last 7 years stayed the same .This diet is working its every thing I was told never to do but my weight is moving & eating what I love crazy but it works .Thank you to my sister for sharing your book with me she is a family Dr she said try it see what happens . I'm sure every one that knows me probably thinks I've cheated eat more then I needed .
I cannot find instructions about how to utilze the 'shake' for riddance of false belly fat. How often should one take this drink?
I have found if I follow the Belly Fat Cure Ultimate Carb Swap for two days consecutive a week and follow his Belly Fat Cure regular routine of counting 15 grams sugar and 6 servings Carb for four days a week, I have lost weight. I allow myself one cheat day, where I can have one or two splurges, yet still watch what I eat for the most part and I have lost weight! My husband has dropped 5 lbs in a week so far, I lost 4 lbs,but gained two back when I went all out on a splurge day, so I will not be doing that again. The bottom line is, if you follow it to a "T" you will most definitely loose weight! :-)
If you follow this plan and cut the sugar and refined carbs you absolutely will see results on the scales and in your clothing.... my co workers commented within a week on how noticeable the reduction in my waist and stomach areas were. I have the book and plan to get back on it for the upcoming summer season! I know it works!
Belly Fat Cure Fast track is working well. Interesting, I love wine at night; since following his diet I have had no sugar cravings... no wine. Weight is coming off nicely.
How to count the carbs/sugars correctly. I am using the Belly Fat Cure diet. When a product states it contains a Total of 15 grams of carbs, 12 grams of fiber and 3 grams of sugar, how does this figure in the 15/6 daily count? Do you count 12 carbs and 3 sugars? I'm confused....
I started this diet March of 2010, at 270 lbs and a 45.5 inch waist. With no exersice, by August of 2010, I weighed 213, and I had a 36 inch waist. I have keep the weight off for going on two years now. I currently work out an hour a day 4 times a week and weigh 206 with a 34 inch waist. This diet works, it just takes disipline.
It a great jump start and more motivating to see results! Though I'm sugar addict, this has actually made me think it was an insulin issue. I needed the sugar to bring my insulin back up. By no means I am trained, skilled, etc. on this topic, I just know it is working for me where other avenues have failed, they still allowed sugar consumption and didn't even address it. Thanks Jorge for sharing your knowledge!!
I love the diet I have lost 10lbs in 3 weeks and really enjoy the food, I try to stick to fresh veg and protein and the recipes are very good
I love this plan! I have lost 4 lbs in one week, and I feel fantastic! I am not hungry and my jeans are starting to feel loose again. The first day was the hardest for me; I had a headache throughtout the day, maybe a sugar withdrawal symptom?. Well, I feel great now and I plan to stick with this new diet combined with regular exercise.
Any "diet" plan that attempts serious weight loss without equallyu serious exercise is doomed to failure. You must look at exercise as a blessing and not a curse.
Sure cutting back on sugar and bad carbs is great but not if you lose muscle in the process. Take my advice and exercise at least one hour daily combine this with an eating life style change and you have a great chance of success and also of feeling and looking better. Walk, run, bike, swim, taichi, yoga, weight lifting the exercise choices are endless!
how do you calulate the sugar grams to within 15 i dont get that the foods i eat are able 13 in one meal
I just started this diet one week ago today. It is awsome, I did not fell hungry at all. I even cheated a little and still lost eight pounds and seven inches. Yeah me!!!! Sticking to this diet is easy. I even drank real beer. Good luck to everyone.
I just started the diet with just going through the website and the youtube videos 2 weeks ago, I have lost 10lbs. This diet definitely works, I just ordered the book to get more details on the things I can eat. I was struggling with losing weight and couldn't understand why I was gaining weight by eating healthy, like my banana in my protein shake and low fat yogurt, well there you have it, I was consuming too much sugar. All I can say is that I love this diet and lifestyle change. I now understand why I was gaining weight, all the sugar and bad carbs. Try it it WORKS!!!
What about zucchini or jicama. Why are they not on the plan?
I have been on this diet for a week, and have not lost anything but a week. But then again, I did Atkins and didn't lose either. I have a thyroid problem but it is supposedly treated with synthetic thyroid hormones (although it is still hard for me to lose). I tried this diet to lower triglycerides, but I also want to lose weight. This isn't helping and its hard. I wrote everything down, stayed 15/6. Didn't work for me.
I started the plan this past Friday 3/4 and so far have lost 5 pounds!!! Can't wait to weigh myself in the morning. I feel good! Stick to the plan, keep track of your sugar and carbs and the plan will work.
For those who feel discouraged, Don't give up. I started on January 1, 2011. I did not lose weight my first week either. I spent $1,000 and was extremly discouraged. My support group kept me focused on the long term goal to healthy eating and I looked toward Jesus for the strength. There were weeks, i lost NOTHING, and then weeks I saw 2 pounds. I have never lost what he promises in his book. The great thing is that I have lost 20 lbs in 2 months. That is fantastic. I feel better, I am moving better, and this is an extremly healthy way to eat. So keep it up, even if you lose slower than the promise, you are sure to lose.
This diet really worked for me and I plan to keep up with this diet.

My favorite workout: No other fitness routine works for me other than the Dailey Method. I guess the best way to describe it is a combination of yoga, Pilates, core strengthening and cardio with fast-paced and fun music all wrapped up into a class where it is almost impossible to not focus on the "mind-body" connection and just be in the moment for 60 minutes. I call it my "happy place." I leave feeling more ready to take on the day. I am not a yoga person. I cannot sit quietly, but somehow the Dailey Method produces the same results.
How often DO I exercise: Three or four times a week.
What motivates me: My husband works a lot, so I am "on" most of the time with our four children, ages 17, 8 and 6-year-old twins. I consider myself to be an "older mom," and I refuse to let "them" get two steps head of me, mentally or physically! My biggest motivation is my back. I had a horrific 18-hour lumbar back surgery in 2001. My recovery was slow. It was a pretty dark time in my life. I walked a lot, but that's about all I could do without fear of reinjuring myself and being down for a year again. The Dailey Method is a low-impact, orthopedically designed workout, so I can do it without fear of reinjuring myself. But it's not an easy workout. I usually walk out a shaking, sweaty mess.
The hardest part: The hardest part is not doing it. I am stiff and hurt if I don't stay on a schedule with my workouts.
What it teaches me: I love it when my husband says I look better now than I did when we started dating. It teaches me that I can overcome f my own fears through focus and determination.

The visitor center at the Mayfield Dairy Farms in Braselton will be reopening its doors in November.
The visitor center, which closed last fall, is scheduled to reopen Nov. 9 with free tours through the end of the year.
Visits to the gift shop and ice cream parlor will remain free but, beginning in 2013, tours will cost $3. Each tour participant will receive a free scoop of Mayfield ice cream.
According to representative from Mayfield, the visitor's center was closed for economic reasons.
"As we indicated last fall, we were eager to reopen if we could find an economically viable way of doing so. Many guests suggested they would be willing to pay a small fee for the informational tours," said Mary Williams, Mayfield general manager.
"The loss of the Visitors Center was felt by everyone in the community to some extent and we hope that those who mourned its closing will rally around the reopening and let Mayfield know how much we've missed them," said Braselton Town Manager and Clerk Jennifer Dees,.
Mayfield will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with tours beginning at 10 a.m. and lasting until 4 p.m. No tours will be offered on Wednesdays. On Saturdays, the center will be open from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., with tours running from 10 a.m. and the last tour departing at 1 p.m.
"We are thrilled to be able to open the Braselton Visitor Center again," said Williams. "In addition, the Town of Braselton has offered its support. We know the Visitor Center has been a great way for our business to connect with our consumers and the general public, and we're excited to bring this attraction back."
"Mayfield Dairy farms has been, since its opening in 1997, the premier destination in Braselton for families. Its role in offering educational opportunities and excellent ice cream has helped us identify the Town of Braselton as a destination offering something for everyone," said Dees.

if I do

First of all, no height or width is returned.
Secondly the URL has a resize string at the end.
if I do
wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full');, I get an array with a couple of issues.
First of all, no height or width is returned.
Secondly the URL has a resize string at the end.
Could you give me a few examples of the returned Photon URLs?
If you could give us a link to your site as well, that might be useful!
Sure, if you look in the <head> section of this page: http://www.controlcommandescape.com/games/borderlands-2/
you'll see
<meta property="og:image" content="http://i2.wp.com/www.controlcommandescape.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/borderlands2.png?resize=1024%2C1024" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://i1.wp.com/www.controlcommandescape.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/2012-11-17_00002.jpg?resize=1920%2C1080" />
and no dimensions are returned for either image
The lack of width and height in the data returned by
wp_get_attachment_image_src() is a necessary side-effect of using Photon.
At present, Photon has no way of informing WordPress of the dimensions of an image it resizes. While there are many cases where the size of the image received from Photon matches the requested size, there are also cases when this won't be true. This depends largely on the size of the original image and whether or not the image size dictates cropping be applied.
As a result, the module sets WordPress' image functions to return false when an image is processed with Photon. This avoids image skewing and prevents WordPress from returning misinformation about the resized image.
Hope this helps explain what's happening with
As for the resizing parameters on the
og:image meta tag, that problem should've been fixed in Jetpack 2.2. We'll investigate why that isn't working properly and update this thread once it is fixed in Jetpack.
ok thanks for the info. Is there a simple way to use wp_get_attachment_image_src() without using photon? I.e. I could use it once (without photon) to grab the image dimensions from the local full-size image, and then again (with photon) to actually grab the image url?
Edit: Never mind, I see you've answered this on my other thread!
This topic has been closed to new replies.

(Port Angeles) -- The Port Angeles School District wants to know what you think about a potential sale of the former Fairview Elementary School property.
The school board holds a hearing tonight on the topic.
The district is considering selling the property along Lake Farm Road. The school board declared the property surplus late last year.
There have been a couple of parties interested in purchasing the property.
It appraised for a little over a million dollar three years ago.
The district shuttered the school in 2007 and moved Fairview students to Roosevelt, which was converted to an elementary.
The hearing starts a five tonight at the district's Central Services Building. The district is required to hold two public hearings before the property is sold.

Picture(s) A Day – 31 May 2009
I ain't gonna sugar coat it. The cellphone pictures surprised me with their quality and I consider them pretty darn good for a cellphone. But they don't hold a candle to a proper camera.
My Sanyo lasted for over two years, but the particles of something unknown between the lens elements finally did it in. It would have cost much more to fix it than it would cost to buy a new camera.
I looked at quite a few and though I'm on a lean budget, the new models of my old Sanyo appear to have drawn some criticism. Minor things like "lens error" cropping up shortly outside of the 90 day warranty that would cost more to fix… Well, you get the idea. I don't think so. Thanks anyway.
One of the things I dearly missed on digital cameras I've had since my first one has been a real optical viewfinder. Shooting in burst mode, you have no idea where the subject will appear when the exposures finish because the screen has gone black. Likewise, some lighting conditions can cause the screen to become unreadable.
I already have a supply of rechargeable AA batteries and I insist that my digital camera run on these. They're everywhere if you need one. They're cheap. They're dependable. I refuse to buy one of the cameras out there that take some weird, proprietary battery pack. I just know it would end up biting me in the @$$.
I also have a few different SD memory cards. Some of the cameras out there take other types. I really don't want to have to worry about buying more memory cards.
I finally decided on the Canon PowerShot A1000 IS.
I might be eating cup of noodles for a while, but I don't think I'll mind too much
So how do the pictures look? Here ya go
And here you go – the beast as seen on Canon's product web page. It comes in several colors, but they only had grey in stock and I didn't mind. Of course, taking 4MB pictures will tend to fill up the included 32MB card in a hurry, but like I said I already have cards.
I really like that it only takes about one second from the time you hit the power button until you can take a picture. The old Sanyo took a good five or six seconds and if you get caught unaware by a surprise opportunity for a great picture this could lead to a tragic loss of the shot.
So without further ado, I present for your evaluation the first picture from my new camera to go public
Yes, I took it by sticking the camera out the driver's window while going down the road. Yes, I was smart enough to keep the strap around my wrist :P: I had to rotate it to get it level and crop it to get it square again, but I can still only describe it as FREAKING HUGE Of course, you have to click on the picture to see that full size version
Check out the full size version of all three pictures. Go ahead, as long as you have a high speed connection. Once the picture is displayed after you've clicked on it, click it again to see it truly full size. I really can't believe the detail and contrast. Shadows cast by clouds in the humid air below them show clearly whereas the cellphone could not capture them.
And now for the last pic of the day. You've seen similar scenes looking west on Smoke Ranch, but not this rich in detail
I can't wait until I have the chance to give this camera a real workout

Board name I've got is gigabyte s-series(ga-ep45-ds3r).
The reason to drive me crazy is to make hdd very slow while coping
I've tried to put the command below.
hdparam -t /dev/hdc
Timing buffered disk reads: 10 MB in 3.81 seconds = 2.63 MB/sec
Speed of that is such sucks.
After googling, I found the link below.
As above link, I've read this...

So I've set the configuration at grup.conf like below.

But still dosen't work.
Do you have any idea how to solve?

From the Headlines: April 12, 2011
Selected reports from the press in central Europe
Nepszabadsag: New Constitution Close to Completion
Hungarian parliament has passed several amendments to the country's new constitution. Now, the Constitutional Court will regain full jurisdiction over matters affecting the state budget if and when public debt falls below 50% of gross domestic product. Also, the retirement age for judges now falls to 62 from 70, in line with the retirement age of other professsions.
Napi Gazdasag: Hungarian Government Extends Foreclosure Moratorium
The Hungarian government has extended the foreclosure moratorium for the troubled holders of Swiss franc mortgages to July 1 from April 15. This gives the government time to figure out what to do with homeowners who can't pay their debts.
Dziennik Gazeta Prawna: Poland's Rising Food Prices
The rising food prices issue was given front-page play in Dziennik Gazeta Prawna Tuesday. While charting the spikes in meat and bread prices, the paper notes clothing prices are expected to decline later this year. Gazeta Wyborcza matches with a full-page in its business section, elaborating on the factors impacting the prices of chicken, bread, sugar, milk, and flour, among others.
Rzeczpospolita: Seven Barriers To Shale Gas Development In Poland
These barriers include the huge cost, time, an insufficient legal framework, lack of government incentives, fees and taxes structure, lack of gas pipeline insfrastructure, and anti-shale gas lobbying by Russia and renewable energy companies.
Hospodarske Noviny: Parts of Mucha's Slavic Epic On Display in Prague
Several paintings of Alphonse Mucha's Slavic Epic will be on display in Prague from Tuesday, as the Czech capital and Moravsky Krumlov, a small south-eastern Czech town, continue to fight over which of them should provide a permanent home for the masterpiece of the Czech Art Nouveau painter.
Pravda: Slovak Government Opens Wallet For Dublin
The Slovak government of Prime Minister Iveta Radicova has donated EUR319 million to financially-troubled Ireland, a wealthier euro-zone nation. Last fall, Slovakia said it would contribute only EUR180 million to the Dublin aid package.

Soon after seeing Kelsey Bennett's exhibit, Hypnogogia, at the Christopher Henry Gallery in Soho we knew she would be the perfect photographer to capture the backstage moments at our show with her brilliant eye and unique style. Tomorrow, Kelsey will be showcasing her latest work, "Black Velvet: The Godfather of Soul." This collection of photographs illustrates the life of Charles Bradley, an artist heavily inspired by the late James Brown. The exhibit walks you through the personal and emotional attachment Bradley has to the Black Velvet persona through vibrant and playful images taken in his natural environments. Bennett fearlessly explores the transformative dynamic of both music and identity.
Having been influenced by James Brown since the age of fourteen, Bradley writes his own material and focuses his music career and performances on the beloved "Godfather of Soul." To get a taste of Bradley's tribute songs click here.
Bennett's exhibition will be up for all to see beginning tomorrow at the Christopher Henry Gallery located at 127 Elizabeth Street (at Broome). The opening will take place on Thursday, July 21 from 7-10 p.m. and the show will run through August 14, 2011. Hope to see you there!

Brief Summary
Comprehensive Description
The ascidean tunicate Styela clava is a fast-growing, subtidal fouling species ("fouling" in this context is a somewhat anthropocentric term used to describe marine organisms that settle and develop on submerged structures, including structures on which humans would rather they didn't settle, such as ship hulls and underwater pipes and shellfish being grown in aquaculture). It is a prolific breeder and a highly efficient suspension feeder. It is native to the northwest Pacific from the Sea of Okhotsk through southern Siberia, Japan, Korea, and northern China south to Shanghai. However, it was discovered in western North America, on the coast of California, in 1932 and is now found from Baja California (Mexico) north to Washington State (U.S.A.) and into southern British Columbia (Canada). It was found in the Atlantic, off southern England, in 1953. In the northeast Atlantic, it is now found from northern Denmark to Portugal. It is present in the northeastern United States and on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada, although it has not been detected in Arctic waters. It is widespread and well established in New Zealand. The geographic spread of this invasive species in both the northern and southern hemispheres is reviewed by Clarke and Therriault (2007) [available here], who also review its general biology and economic significance to humans. (Clarke and Therriault 2007 and references therein; Dupont et al. 2009; Goldstien et al. 2010)
The population structure of introduced populations as inferred from genetic studies, as well as the speed with which it has spread, suggest a major role for human-mediated dispersal in the spread of this species, e.g., by adults attached to the hulls (or other areas with less water flow) of commercial ships or pleasure boats or juveniles inadvertently transferred with oysters in the course of aquaculture operations (Clarke and Therriault 2007; Dupont et al. 2009; Goldstien et al. 2010).
Styla clava are oviparous (egg-laying) hermaphrodites. A mature adult is around 70 to 200 mm in length and produces about 5000 eggs, which hatch after 12 to 15 hours. The larvae, which are around 0.85 mm long, are lecithotrophic (i.e., they do not feed until after they settle to the bottom and become non-planktonic juveniles). Larvae are able to swim just a few millimetres in short bursts of activity. After approximately 12 hours, they settle on hard substrata to develop into sessile juveniles. Since S. clava eggs hatch 12 to 15 hours after spawning/fertilization, the total pelagic dispersal time for the developing egg/embryo and larva is on the order of 24 hours. (Davis and Davis 2007)
This species is a simple, solitary ascidian, with a tough outer covering or tunic. The body is elongated and club-shaped, and attaches to the substrate by a distinct stalk. The stalk is shorter than or equal to the body length; total length measures 5-15 cm. The oral and atrial siphons are positioned anteriorly, smooth in texture, and ringed in alternating light and dark bands. The tunic is opaque, thick, and leathery, with distinct tubercles near the siphons and wrinkled pleats that run longitudinally. Overall colour ranges from brown to reddish-brown.

Confidence: Confident
Type of Residency: Year-round
Styela clava has been introduced to the Northeast Pacific, with confirmed records ranging from British Columbia to Baja California, Mexico. In addition, this species has been reported from several other locations around the world, including the Atlantic coasts of Canada and the United States, Great Britain, Europe, and New Zealand. It is native to the Northwest Pacific, with a geographical range from southern Siberia and Japan to northern China.
Physical Description
Look Alikes
In the Northeast Pacific, Styela clava is most similar to to other styelid tunicates, including S. coriacea (Alder and Hancock, 1848), S. gibbsii (Stimpson, 1864), S. montereyensis (Dall, 1872), S. truncata Ritter, 1901, S. yakutatensis Ritter, 1901, and two other non-native species found in the region, S. canopus (Savigny, 1816) and S. plicata (Lesueur, 1823).

Styela clava
|Wikispecies has information related to: Styela clava
The Stalked Sea Squirt, Styela clava, is a solitary, hermaphroditic, ascidian tunicate that is found off Australia[2] and New Zealand,[3] both coasts of North America,[4] and Europe.[5]
These sea squirts are characterized by their brown or yellow, rough and wrinkled surface. They can grow to be about 6 in (15 cm) tall and can be found on lobster pots, pilings, and fishing nets. This species of sea squirts is native to Korea and Japan. It may have been carried to New England waters from Europe (where it arrived in the early 1950s) in ballast water or ship fouling.[6]
Styela clava is called Mideodeok(미더덕) in Korea and primarily consumed in there as food.
Other names[edit]
- Club or Clubbed Tunicate
- Solitary Sea Squirt
- Rough Sea Squirt
- Leathery Sea Squirt
- Asian Sea Squirt
Populations around Los Angeles, CA grow 1-1.5 cm/month for 6 months, reaching maturity and slowing growth at about 9 cm in size. Broadcast spawning occurs late spring to early fall. They occur to at least 25 m deep, and filter approximately 150 mL of water / minute / gram body weight.[7]

IMF Explains Itself on Argentine Debt Case, but Questions on U.S. Role Remain
The International Monetary Fund Thursday tried to clear up why it reversed course on filing a brief at the U.S. Supreme Court on the Argentine debt case, saying that the institution's political neutrality was at stake.
But it did little to elucidate the real unanswered question: why the fund's most powerful shareholder, the U.S., did its own about-face on the matter.
The IMF and the U.S. Treasury Department faced a battery of questions about why the U.S. originally told the IMF it would support the fund filing, but then suddenly changed its mind, forcing the fund to abandon its plans. IMF managing director Christine Lagarde wants to warn the high court that a lower-court ruling, if it stands, could have dramatic consequences for how governments around the world deal with their creditors.
IMF spokesman William Murray told reporters Thursday that it wouldn't have been appropriate "at this stage" to file a brief without U.S. support for two reasons. (Around minute seven:).
"First, the fund has a duty of neutrality in disputes involving its member governments, [and] the lack of US support could potentially place the fund in the middle of a dispute between two fund members," he said.
Mr. Murray also said that the effectiveness of the fund's filing could be undermined without U.S. backing.
But the motives behind the U.S. about-face are still unclear.
The U.S. said its decision to withdraw support for the IMF brief was simply a matter of process and timing. "In its current posture, the case is not yet before the Supreme Court for review on the merits," a Treasury official said.
But alternate theories abound, as Anna Gelpern, an American University law professor, aptly sums up.
Treasury's change-of-heart comes as the Obama administration is pressing Congress for changes to how the U.S. finances the IMF as part of a plan that would transfer some power at the lending institution to China, Mexico and Brazil. Some congressional Republicans are opposed to the changes, questioning whether the IMF needs the cash and whether emerging-market nations should get more sway at the IMF.
Congressional Republicans have pressed the administration to stay away from the case, criticizing Argentina's handling of its defaulted debt obligations and condemning a number of Argentina's foreign-policy positions. In a July 10 letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, a dozen House lawmakers urged the Department of Justice to "refrain from affording Argentina any further legal assistance in this matter."
There's also a strong lobbying campaign on Capitol Hill. Argentina and the holdout hedge funds are separately pushing Congress to advocate their respective positions. Argentina held a two-hour seminar for legislative aides Monday on Capitol Hill, warning about the potential global implications for the ruling. Earlier in the day, a group representing the holdout hedge funds purchased an ad in Politico, a popular political journal, proposing provocative questions that aides could pose at Argentina's conference.
The legal fight started more than a decade ago when Argentina defaulted on $100 billion of its debt. Hedge funds bought defaulted debt for pennies on the dollar and then filed suit seeking full repayment. Argentina has since swapped out 93% of that debt, giving holders of the defaulted debt new bonds worth roughly 33% of the old bonds' value.
Creditors fought a succession of legal battles trying to secure more cash, losing those cases until last year when a U.S. federal court said the original debt terms required Argentina to pay up.
Argentina argues its assets are protected under U.S. law, and in June asked the country's high court to hear its case.

One of the joys of living in Malvern are the hills. For a while we seemed to stop going up them but after a few great walks over Christmas we made a vow to walk several this year. I had planned to record at least one a month here but here I am in March with a backlog of photos. The hill at the top is British Camp - one of our favourite walks. The fact that it was once an iron age fort is plain to see from the earth works. My boys all loved it when they were young, imagining being a soldier standing up there, protecting the land from passing invaders.We still love it for the amazing views you get from the top (once you have your breath back!).
The second photo is Blackhill Looking out towards Ledbury and beautiful Herefordshire - you can just see British camp in the distance. None of the walks are terribly hard, I've taken a push chair over most of them, but the beauty is breathtaking. Once at the top it is good to have a slurp from the flask and a piece of cake and just sit and admire.
Now we need to decide which of the hills we are going to do next. Who wants to join me?

Former FDA LASIK regulator says FDA "Screwed Up" when it approved LASIK - ABC Good Morning America4y ago
When it first approved laser devices for LASIK indications in 1995, CDRH screwed up in not applying its own less-than-1% standard for acceptable adverse events reported from clinical studies, former ophthalmic devices division director Morris Waxler told FDA Webview in a teleconference interview 9/3. Waxler said FDA was under enormous industry pressure when it approved the new indication and its standards for the procedure were cobbled together. Primarily, he said, CDRH totally lacked in-house LASIK expertise at the time and incorrectly judged the significance of adverse events, which the divisions own standards said should be less than 1% of all procedures. Actual experience was above 5% in permanent adverse events that the agency listed in the wrong column as so-called second-tier complications such as patient-reported persistent pain, blurred images and night-vision difficulties that were not counted as first-tier adverse events (retinal detachment, lost visual acuity, induction of astigmatism, etc.). I think we screwed up, Waxler said. Nobodys going to admit that. Basically, I think people made some of those judgments incorrectly. We were getting advice from very renowned ophthalmologists — more renowned than anyone we had in the agency. We dropped the ball.

Omam quant warns of market dangers
Old Mutual Asset Managers' (Omam) Ian Heslop has said his quantitative investment system is now indicating market danger ahead, following months of mixed signals.
Following a shift back to what the manager describes as a "pro-value" focus, he has seen signals leading him more towards defensive stocks again.
However, Mr Heslop emphasised any moves would happen over a number of weeks as he and his team looked to confirm whether the signals were correct.
"No matter what happens we will reflect that and make changes as the situation becomes apparent," the manager added.
The system manages a range of five Omam quant funds – four of which delivered a top-quartile return in 2011.
The system was overhauled three years ago, as markets capitulated to the initial stages of the global financial crisis, to factor in macroeconomic drivers of share prices more actively.
Mr Heslop said: "In 2011 we went from a pro-cyclical environment to a defensive one, but strategists were still talking about being constructive on equity markets.
"We noticed investors were not actually acting on this, which meant we went defensive earlier than many other managers."
This shift to a defensive focus led his £31.1m Global Equity Absolute Return fund to post a sector-leading return of 11.7 per cent while other Absolute Return sector funds struggled in the market volatility of the second half of the year.
"Since March [2012] it has not necessarily been obvious which way the markets are going," Mr Heslop said.
As well as the Old Mutual Global Equity Absolute Return fund, the £10.9m Global Equity, £17.9m Japanese Select and £65.4m North American Equity funds all posted top quartile compared with their respective IMA sectors in the past year.
Only Mr Heslop's £29.2m Asian Select fund struggled, losing 19.8 per cent during 2011 compared with 16.8 per cent for its IMA Asia Pacific excluding Japan sector. However, it has bounced back over the first half of 2012 to June 18, gaining 8.7 per cent – the third best in the peer group.

NSCondition class implements a condition variable whose semantics follow those used for POSIX-style conditions. A condition object acts as both a lock and a checkpoint in a given thread. The lock protects your code while it tests the condition and performs the task triggered by the condition. The checkpoint behavior requires that the condition be true before the thread proceeds with its task. While the condition is not true, the thread blocks. It remains blocked until another thread signals the condition object.
The semantics for using an
NSCondition object are as follows:
Lock the condition object.
Test a boolean predicate. (This predicate is a boolean flag or other variable in your code that indicates whether it is safe to perform the task protected by the condition.)
If the boolean predicate is false, call the condition object's
waitUntilDate:method to block the thread. Upon returning from these methods, go to step 2 to retest your boolean predicate. (Continue waiting and retesting the predicate until it is true.)
If the boolean predicate is true, perform the task.
Optionally update any predicates (or signal any conditions) affected by your task.
When your task is done, unlock the condition object.
The pseudocode for performing the preceding steps would therefore look something like the following:
lock the condition
while (!(boolean_predicate)) {
wait on condition
do protected work
(optionally, signal or broadcast the condition again or change a predicate value)
unlock the condition
Whenever you use a condition object, the first step is to lock the condition. Locking the condition ensures that your predicate and task code are protected from interference by other threads using the same condition. Once you have completed your task, you can set other predicates or signal other conditions based on the needs of your code. You should always set predicates and signal conditions while holding the condition object's lock.
When a thread waits on a condition, the condition object unlocks its lock and blocks the thread. When the condition is signaled, the system wakes up the thread. The condition object then reacquires its lock before returning from the
wait or
waitUntilDate: method. Thus, from the point of view of the thread, it is as if it always held the lock.
A boolean predicate is an important part of the semantics of using conditions because of the way signaling works. Signaling a condition does not guarantee that the condition itself is true. There are timing issues involved in signaling that may cause false signals to appear. Using a predicate ensures that these spurious signals do not cause you to perform work before it is safe to do so. The predicate itself is simply a flag or other variable in your code that you test in order to acquire a Boolean result.
