Global Motorsport Group, the parent company of Custom Chrome and Motorcycle Stuff, owes money to a lot of entities — more than 1,000, according to bankruptcy papers filed last week (RevTech Engine Maker Looks to Buy GMG).
Among the papers is a listing of creditors that hold the 35 largest unsecured claims. Taking the top spot is Susan Dodd of Cape Girardeau, Mo., with a promissory note worth $3.3 million.
Also listed are several well-known vendors: Warn Industries ($414,168), Belt Drives Ltd. ($272,104), Federal-Mogul ($234,324), Greenball Corp. ($191,528), S&S Cycle ($189,394), Daeil Industrial Co. ($148,922), Goodridge ($145,558), Arlen Ness Inc. ($116,733), D&D Performance ($106,947), Scorpion Exhausts ($106,937), BP Lubricants USA ($101,620), O'Neal/Azonic ($91,442), Motul USA ($89,180), Crane Cams ($88,867), Bel-Ray Co. ($85,207) and NGK Spark Plugs USA ($80,587).
In the petition for bankruptcy, Global says that as of late November 2007, it had liabilities of about $190 million. This number includes $8.6 million in accounts payable, $136 million in notes payable, $15 million in other accrued liabilities, and $29 million in other "noncurrent liabilities."
Global also says it had total assets of about $41 million (book value) as of late November. In a separate document, it claims to have had $19 million in inventory on Jan. 14 of this year.
As reported earlier, at the same time as its bankruptcy filing, Global announced that it would attempt to sell its assets to Dae-Il USA Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Korean maker of RevTech engines. Subject to the court?s approval and other conditions, the selling price would be about $16 million.

Alice Walker Adds 'Color Purple' to Israel Boycott Drive
Alice Walker refused to have "The Color Purple" published for a second time in Hebrew. The Irish band Dervish withdrew from a three-gig visit after a social-media campaign against its concert.
Indian musician Zakir Hussain, who has collaborated with George Harrison, postponed his July concert in Israel, concerned for his group's safety after he received threats and a petition signed by 85 Indian artists urging him to cancel.
With Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations frozen for almost two years, activists seek to increase pressure on Israel to give up the West Bank through cultural and economic boycotts, much as they did three decades ago against South Africa.
"These boycotts make Israeli artists feel isolated," said Bernard Avishai, author of "The Hebrew Republic" and a professor at Hebrew University and Dartmouth College.
Walker, in a letter to Israeli publishing house Yedioth Books, cited as motivation for her decision the "devastating testimony" she heard about Israel during a tribunal in South Africa in 2011.
"I grew up under American apartheid and this was far worse," she wrote. South Africans, including Desmond Tutu, feel "the Israeli version of these crimes is worse even than what they suffered under the white supremacist regimes," she added.
Restricted Movement
Palestinians' movements in the West Bank are restricted by roadblocks and permits are necessary to enter Israel. There is no free travel between the West Bank and Gaza. Israel says the restrictions are necessary to prevent Palestinian militants from attacking civilians or setting off bombs.
Alon Liel, a former director general of the Israeli Foreign Ministry who supports boycotting products made in the Jewish settlements, said Israel needs a wake-up call given the "unprecedented situation" created by the so-called Arab Spring where protests have toppled leaders throughout the Middle East.
"It is world consensus that we are wrong about the settlements," Liel said, "therefore if we can do something significant that Israel takes to heart, it should be about the settlements and not a cultural boycott of universities or artists."
The United Nations and other international bodies have said Israeli settlements in the West Bank violate international law against construction on occupied territory. The U.S. has asked Israel to freeze such construction.
Democratic Process
"As far as I'm concerned, this is something you shouldn't be doing to any democracy in the world, even if it is a country that you extremely dislike," Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Yuli Edelstein said of the boycotts. "As long as there is a democratic process, as long as this is a country that you can change from the inside or influence, you should try everything except boycotting."
A year ago, the government passed a law that allows Israelis promoting a boycott of Israel or its West Bank settlements to be sued for civil damages. It also disqualifies companies that participate in a boycott of the settlements from eligibility for government contracts.
Among the motivations for the law was a boycott by Israeli actors and artists of a cultural center in the West Bank settlement of Ariel. The sponsors also condemned Israeli companies working to build the new Palestinian city of Rawabi that signed an agreement not to do business with settlements.
Palestinians say the cultural boycott is a tool to get their message across, both to Israelis and the world.
Changing Opinions
"What's important is to make clear that opinions, research, lectures and art can help change the Israeli public opinion and stop the Israeli government from taking action that changes facts on the ground," Salah Al Khawaja, a member of the Palestinian National Initiative, said by telephone.
Netta Gurevitch, editor-in-chief of the publishing house Yedioth Books turned down by Walker, said that she has been rejected before by authors including Christos Tsoliakis, who wrote "The Slap," and Egyptian Alaa al-Aswany, who wrote "The Yacoubian Building."
"This is regrettable, primarily because art in general, and literature specifically, can be a significant tool in building cultural bridges, in presenting the other and in creating a climate of tolerance and compassion," Gurevitch said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor played down the impact of cultural boycotts. "It's all buzz, no sting," he said, citing major stars who did perform in Israel this year.
Madonna opened her most recent tour in Tel Aviv on June 1 for what she said was "a very specific and important reason."
Madonna, Chilis
"If we can all rise above our egos and our titles and the names of our countries and our religions, and treat everyone around us with respect, then we are on the road to peace," she told the audience.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers plan to play Tel Aviv in September, unless the band decides to cancel at the last minute like other musicians, including Elvis Costello in 2010.
On June 10, Punks Against Apartheid urged the Chilis to stay away. "No support for criminal occupation, ethnic cleansing and racial apartheid!' the group said on a post on the website of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.
"The people who advocate for cultural boycott think they are punishing Israel, but what they are doing is discouraging, undermining and isolating the people in the country most likely to carry the conversation into the public realm and make a change through the electoral process," said Avishai.
"There are all kinds of ways to make Israelis feel uncomfortable about the occupation, but for writers to cut themselves off, to have cosmopolitan, progressive, democratic radicals in the rest of the world cut themselves off from the same in Israel, that is adding insult to injury," he said.
Muse highlights include Scott Reyburn on auctions and Craig Seligman on art.

|Finance Minister Michael Noonan.
Ireland is to make a clean exit from the IMF/EU bailout when we leave the program on December 15. There will be no precautionary credit line negotiated with the European Central Bank or the IMF, no backstop, no insurance policy in case we get into financial trouble again in the months and years ahead.
We're going it alone. It's a brave move and we can only hope that it's the right one.
The decision not to seek a credit line came in a dramatic announcement by Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny in the Dail last week. There is no doubt that the decision was based on political concerns more than on economic policy.
There were strong economic reasons why a credit line -- even if we never use it -- might have been a good idea. Our ability to fund ourselves going forward after we exit the bailout program depends on growth in the Irish economy in the next few years and the absence of any nasty surprises, especially from the banks. Neither of these things is certain.
Because we are an export-led economy, growth here is dependent on a sustained recovery in Europe and beyond, and that is far from guaranteed. We need a strong recovery in the global economy to increase demand for our exports. If the European economy and the world economy limp along with little or no growth then we will be in trouble.
The banks are also a real concern. Our banks are still basket cases, and there is a European wide stress test for banks coming next year which could expose just how weak they are. And because it's an EU stress test we won't be able to fudge the outcome.
There is a huge unresolved problem in our banks due to the number of domestic mortgages in crisis, and the number of people deep in negative equity after the property crash.
The potential losses involved have never been crystallized on the books of the banks. They have billions in property loans on their books which have not been written down to their current value.
So we have two major problems. If the European economy fails to grow then our exports won't increase and the growth we need in the Irish economy to enable us to fully fund ourselves again, including making our debt repayments, won't happen.
If the banks are forced to admit the real level of losses they face on domestic mortgages and write down the loans accordingly, then they are likely to need another big capital injection to meet EU solvency standards.
At present they are ignoring the reality, hoping that if they delay long enough the property market will recover sufficiently to solve the problem for them.
So we face an extremely uncertain future in the next couple of years. Things could pan out the way we want. But they might not.
Even the government admitted last week that it had been "a finely balanced decision" not to seek a credit line. I remember hearing Minister for Finance Michael Noonan just a couple of months back saying that it might be prudent to seek a backstop of around €10 billion. So why did he change his mind?
Several reasons have been put forward. We have built up a cash pile of around €20 billion in borrowings in the treasury piggybank here, enough borrowing to get us through 2014 and part of 2015.
So when we go back to the markets in the next few months we could cope even if they decided they wanted us to pay penal rates and we decided not to borrow. We can get through any short term difficulty.
Perhaps more important, the general economic picture in Europe at the moment is relatively benign in comparison with the chaos we saw over the past few years when several countries were on the verge of financial collapse. So it's a good time to be leaving the bailout and going back into the markets to borrow under our own steam.
In addition, we have shown an ability to cut spending and increase taxes to reduce the budget deficit, although we still have a way to go to get down to the three percent of GDP deficit that is our target and is the agreed maximum among the EU countries.

Library Mania! Woodbury LbNA # 64818 (ARCHIVED)

I love libraries. I love libraries so much, I decided I couldn't stand not being familiar with all of them. A couple years ago, my brother, The B! and I set ourselves a quest. To visit all the Denver Public Libraries in the space of 2 days, and check out a book from each one. I got a map and planned our route, and made a chart of all the libraries hours, and The B! drove us to each one. It was an epic quest. (Would I have invented this adventure for myself if I had known about letterboxing back then? Good question.)
I'm not going to send you to every library in the system, that would be ridiculous! Also a few new branches have been added since our adventure that I'd like to see for myself. So I'm picking a few of the most interesting to send you to.
Woodbury branch is one of the original four Carnegie libraries built in Denver. It cost $22,000 to build and was opened July 9th, 1913. This year is the branch's 100th year of continued operation as a library! Be sure to stop by Woodbury for their Centennial celebration this July. When it opened, the library held 6,500 volumes. Today it holds somewhere in the neighborhood of 54,000. Roger Woodbury was a resident of Denver and served on original Library Commission, which created the Denver Public Library System. He lived in the Highlands, and was president of the Denver Chamber of Commerce.
Turn onto West Highland Park Place. There is a parking lot for library patrons on the North side of the library. Walk around to the front of the library, taking note of the high arched windows and stonework. Sit on one of the stone benches in the front of the library and look up to find the "C&CD" emblem. The architect, J.B. Benedict, modeled the library after the Medici palace in Florence, but exchanged the Medici emblem for this one, which stands for "City and County of Denver." Head back to the North end of the building and find a large green mechanical box. In the planter immediately in front of the box there is a loose flap of brown weed-reducer material. Camo pouch is tucked under the loose flap. NOTE: This hiding place is far from ideal, but I had trouble finding a better spot, especially as there are construction crews all over the place right now. Please let me know if you can find a better hiding spot. You might want to visit this box on Sunday when the library is closed, in the hopes of avoiding the workmen and library patrons in the parking lot.
If you do go inside the library, look up at the gorgeous vaulted beam ceilings. Say hi to the friendly librarians (one of them helped me research this box)! You can also check out the portrait of Roger Woodbury above the fireplace on the South end.

Q&A: How Can Lenders Navigate Health Care Bankruptcies?
When a health-care company, particularly a hospital, files for Chapter 11 protection, it's not your typical bankruptcy case. And that can be especially hard on lenders, according to a new report.
Restructuring attorneys at Schulte Roth & Zabel issued a guide for lenders navigating the bankruptcy of their health-care borrowers, which you can read here. Bankruptcy Beat talked to the report's authors, Adam C. Harris and James T. Bentley, on Wednesday about the challenges health-care providers currently face and what lenders can expect when their health-care borrowers enter Chapter 11.
The following Q&A has been edited for brevity and clarity.
Bankruptcy Beat: Besides the Affordable Care Act, what other factors are putting pressure on health-care companies today?
Mr. Harris: The single-largest pressure point on health-care companies today is the competitive pressures relative to revenue-generation and sources of payment for the services they're providing. Everybody is looking to reduce the cost to both governmental agencies [Medicare and Medicaid] of providing health care to those that are covered by them. Individuals are looking to competitively shop for premiums and health insurance, which is causing the insurance companies to reduce the reimbursement rates that they're providing to the providers in their system. If you're on the provider side, your biggest challenge is being able to match up the cost structure of providing those services…with the revenue generation that you can create through your patient base. And that's difficult.
Mr. Bentley: There's an aging population. You have a growing number of people who are growing older and who are going to need a lot of these services. On the other side of it, you have a lot of doctors opting out of Medicare given the lower reimbursement rates that are afforded by the [Affordable Care Act], and that's creating a supply and demand problem.
Bankruptcy Beat: Your report points to extra costs that health care debtors may incur in bankruptcy as opposed to other debtors, like a patient care ombudsman and disposing of patient records. How does this threaten lenders' ability to be repaid, and how can lenders protect themselves?
Mr. Harris: In order to get [the company] restructured or sold, there are costs associated with that you just can't get away from. They have to be budgeted in, accounted for and looked at in terms of what your overall strategy is and the value proposition that's associated with your collateral. It also factors into decision-making as to what the best exit strategy is going to be to maximize repayment.
Shutting down an entire company is almost never the right answer.
Bankruptcy Beat: For an existing lender to a health-care borrower, what are some pros and cons of providing DIP [debtor-in-possession] financing?
Mr. Harris: The pros are fairly similar to those you would see in pretty much any case. The lender generally will view its greatest chance of recovering on its loan by continuing the operations of the company as a viable going concern and then either having it reorganize so somebody else can refinance it or facilitate a sale where the proceeds can be sued to hopefully pay off the lender's loan. There's always that potential upside. The lenders when they originate these loans they assume…that if a bankruptcy were to occur that they would need to provide additional dollars to continue operations on a go-forward basis.
The risks associated with it are you could be piling more money into something that really has no viable long-term exit strategy, and you just don't know that until it's way too late.
Bankruptcy Beat: Health care cases can involve social and political pressures that may not be present in a typical corporate restructuring. How should lenders to react to these pressures?
Mr. Harris: It's incredibly politically charged and it is, while national in the way people look at it, it's also extraordinarily local given the impact that changes to any particular provider—and particularly the shutdown of any particular facility—can have on a local community. You can't disregard that because it can have an enormous impact on your ability to realize value from those facilities which comprise a portion of the collateral for your loan. Sometimes lenders just need to understand that it's better to cave and take a little less on a particular transaction if it can buy you the ability to do something better with the remaining assets in the portfolio.
Lenders need to be willing to engage in those conversations and think creatively like that in these situations because everybody is going to have their hand out in order to try and serve interests that go well beyond the lender. The local community. The local politicians. Everybody is going to want continuing service, and they don't really care who pays for it. The lender is the only logical person to actually underwrite those services, but they've got to find out a way to get something in return for it.

'Inception,' 'Salt' and Other Blu-ray Releases of the Week: 12/07/10
Following last week's release of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," it seems only appropriate that the Movie Gods would deliver unto worshipful audiences some entertainment that's a little, well, more mature than Stephenie Meyer's torrid tale of teenage romance. Thankfully, they have heard our prayers, and provided a considerable slate of releases both independent and mainstream, new and old, which more than fulfill that quite frankly modest criteria.
Needless to say, in the spirit of the busiest commercial season of the year, the studios are piling on anniversary releases and Special Editions in addition to their regular releases and reissues. But whether you agree with our pans or oppose our picks, take a look at just a few of the highest-profile Blu-rays and DVDs being released this week.
Big Bad Mama/ Big Bad Mama II – It could just be our Angie Dickinson fetish, but this double feature from the vaults of Roger Corman's New World Pictures feels like the perfect gift for grindhouse fans. Shout Factory, a premier distributor of fan-favorite TV shows and movies, has been remastering and reissuing many of Corman's most famous productions for months, and like its predecessors, this double feature offers terrific presentation along with an almost shocking wealth of bonus content. Duplicating extras from earlier editions and adding new ones for good measure, this is certainly one of the best bargains of the week, but the movies themselves are so much fun that even a bare-bones version would make our list.
Inception – Perhaps the smartest and most satisfying blockbuster of 2010, Christopher Nolan's brain-bender arrives on Blu-ray complete with some impressive if not entirely expansive extras. Instead of a commentary, the feature disc boasts an interactive documentary that highlights production details from various sequences in the film; meanwhile, the second disc offers a motion-comic prequel, a documentary about dreams and the subconscious, and 5.1 presentation of Hans Zimmer's epic score. Not quite as exciting as the briefcase edition released in the UK which features not one but two prequels as well as a top totem and some other knick knacks, but if you need cinematic inspiration, this set will plant plenty of ideas in your head.
Salt – If you believe that a gorgeous, stick-thin supermodel can decimate adversaries 20 at a time, then "Salt" might be the movie for you. Although the theatrical cut of the film is also available, the new Blu-ray features an unrated cut of the film along with three commentaries, a picture-in-picture "Spy Cam" mode, five featurettes and additional interviews with the cast and crew. Needless to say that the marquee attraction is the sight of Angelina Jolie beating the crap out of every guy she comes across, but for a film that superficially offers a lot of dumb fun, this one seems to take itself a little too seriously as smart, making this release the adult equivalent of "Eclipse."
Twentieth Century Fox 75th Anniversary Collection – Sure, it's $500 and features more movies than most people watch in a year, but this box set is the biggest and most subversively awesome release of the season. Fox dug back through their library and assembled 75 films that embody the artistic and commercial accomplishments of the studio, packaged them in one three-volume set, and both fleshed out collectors' home video collections and offered them a history lesson. Many of the usual suspects are included, such as "Alien," "The French Connection," "Avatar," and "The Sound of Music," but it's their less obvious and even decidedly cult titles, like "Phantom of the Paradise" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" which make this a completist's dream.
Videodrome – No best-of list would be complete without a Criterion selection, and the distributor remasters one of their earlier releases, "Videodrome," for a new edition that makes the VHS era look better than ever before. In addition to high-definition picture and sound, the set – which is notably packaged in a box that looks like a VHS case – boasts two commentaries, a 2000 film by David Cronenberg, a director's roundtable with Cronenberg and fellow luminaries John Carpenter and John Landis, and even more documentaries and interviews. For a harrowing portrait of an entirely different technologic era – filtered of course through Cronenberg's creepy, indelible sensibilities – "Videodrome" is a classic film and this set makes it look incredible.

Justin Bieber unveils his waxwork at Madame Tussauds
Along with his mother Pattie, Justin Bieber attended the grand event of unveiling of his waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London on 15th March. He posed to photographers by hugging the waxwork, but refused to kiss it. "It's pretty incredible to see. I'm taller but this was a point in time. It looks awesome, thanks very much," the Daily Mail quotes him as saying.
However, Justin Bieber recently changed his hairstyle after he turned 17. Now, the teen singer is donning a shorter and more textured hair cut. But the sculptors of his waxwork are successful in ensuring his legendary hairstyle is the exact replica of the original cut. Talking to Daily Mail, the star said, "It doesn't have any facial hair."

Besides Daniel at the Modern Hotel June 17May 20th, 2009 by Michal
Besides Daniel is an indie-folk band from Atlanta. Aiming to inspire beauty, truth, and creativity, Besides Daniel writes songs about love, faith, daydreams, and adventure. These songs may reflect the musical influences of Bob Dylan, Iron & Wine, Pedro the Lion, Sufjan Stevens and Conor Oberst.
The members of Besides Daniel are singer-songwriter Danny Brewer (acoustic guitar, vocals) and Susanne O'Day (vocals, keys, glockenspiel, melodica).
'I am the Fall, You are the Spring,' the most recent album, was released independently by Besides Daniel in 2007. The album offers a humble blend of acoustic instruments held together by a raw, earnest voice evoking feelings of both hope and reflection.
Besides Daniel is currently recording a 5 track EP, "the clay, the seed, the stone", that will be released in May 2009 and will be followed by a West Coast Tour.
Nick Jaina at The ModernMarch 30th, 2009 by webAdmin
- http://www.myspace.com/nickjaina)
Last summer, Nick Jaina and his band (Portland) strolled through Idaho, playing the Modern Hotel and Bar multiple times. The band's street style performance and seemingly upbeat yet somewhat sinister rhythms, fit right in here at the Modern. With an electric guitar, steel guitar, vibraphone, clarinets, trumpets, an upright bass, violin and precession, Jaina's band achieves a folksy almost burlesque sound. This April Nick's band will be back for more, playing in the Modern Bar, April 23rd. So grab a re-fashioned, order a prosciutto and bri panini, sit back and relax all wile listening to one of Portland's most admired bands.

biggest problem is that I need one that supports Group Password
Authentication. Right now I'm using a demo of the Netlock Client, which
works, but costs $95! For a college student, that's too much, and it
doesn't even have a nice GUI. It's just a webpage that calls CGI scripts.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Sighting Details
My 3 children and I were coming over the I75 overpass on Coggins Rd.in Pinconning, MI in the Fall, around September, about 12 years ago around 9 pm, just before it became very dark outside. My son said, "look Mom", and pointed up from the front windshield. I peered over the steering column and saw a frame of a dark triangle with lights at each point, a total of 3. The lights appeared to flash very lightly. The triangle was not more than 200 ft above the farm fields as we came over and down the overpass. It was very large and I could clearly see the outline and the bottom of the triangle object. The bottom of the UFO was very dark. I could not see any of the sides or anything, as I was driving and was somewhat under it in direction. It moved very slowly and made not a sound, and I thought that odd. I dismissed it at the time, but as my knowledge about UFO's have grown over the year, I am convinced that I saw a UFO. Two of my children remember this, and the other does not. As I drove down the over pass and headed East onto Coggin Rd. I looked back and it had disappeared. My youngest son, said the same. He looked back and it was gone.

The Hon Andrew Stoner MP
Acting Premier of NSW
Minister for Trade and Investment
Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Services
Wednesday 16 November 2011
Acting NSW Premier and Minister for Trade and Investment Andrew Stoner has announced NSW will be the production base for a new animated feature film based on the popular children's construction toy LEGO®.
Warner Bros. has contracted Academy Award-winning Sydney animation studio Animal Logic to make the family entertainment comedy at Fox Studios Australia, where Mr Stoner made the announcement today alongside Animal Logic CEO Zareh Nalbandian.
The NSW Government has helped secure the production for the State's film industry with assistance from NSW Trade & Investment's State Investment Attraction Scheme.
"Congratulations to Animal Logic for beating strong international competition from the US and Canada to secure this major animated film production," Mr Stoner said.
"The production of LEGO will see up to $48 million spent in NSW, which will include commitments to industry research, development and training.
"The film will employ over 200 people during its peak.
"The LEGO film will be based on the popular children's LEGO building blocks and include licensed LEGO characters.
"Originally designed in the 1940's in Denmark, LEGO has achieved international appeal and this film is sure to be a hit with children around the world," Mr Stoner said.
"The film's directors will be Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who co-directed the 3D animated comedy Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) which grossed $239 million worldwide.
"LEGO will be an innovative film incorporating the latest animation and photo-real techniques which will demonstrate the strength of NSW creative technology skills and enhance the international reputation of Sydney as a film location.
"Not only will the securing of LEGO enable Animal Logic to retain staff through an ongoing work schedule but it will also place Sydney in a strong position to secure further work should sequels be planned later.
Mr Nalbandian said "LEGO is further testament that Sydney is now established as one of the world's great digital animation centres.
"With LEGO, Animal Logic continues to develop and produce ground breaking digital entertainment and to build a talent base that's second to none anywhere in the world."
Steve Papazian, President of Worldwide Physical Production for Warner Bros. Pictures, said "I want to extend my appreciation to the NSW Government for its continued support."
"We look forward to building upon our valued relationship."
LEGO is due for release in 2014 with Warner Bros. both producing and distributing the film internationally.
The LEGO film is being written and directed by Lord and Miller, with Chris McKay serving as co-director. Dan Lin and Roy Lee are producing. LEGO Company's Jill Wilfert will executive produce and Lin Pictures' Seanne Winslow will co-produce.

- 'When you jump rope, all the impact is going to be on the forefoot, and running shoes are designed for just the opposite, with all the shock absorption in the heel,' Cunningham says.
- Hinged between the second and third wheels so it bends at the forefoot like a running shoe, it provides a better push-off than normal skates as well as superfast acceleration.

Its revenues in 4Q12 over 3Q12 revenue growth is 25% vs. 3Q12 over 2Q12 growth of 6.6%, which is impressive (also better than its 4Q11 over 3Q11 revenue growth of 22%). Since FB incurred large amount of stock compensation last year when the IPO was issued, such huge expense would not incur in 2013. Therefore, the earnings in 2013 would be much better in comparison to 2012. Although it is highly overvalued, it still has good growth potential. The more important thing is, financial institutions would not let their money sit in FB as dead money (institutional holding is 47%), they must do something to pump up the stock again. Note that institutional holding increased 24% from Oct 1 - Dec 31, 2012.
Accumulate? Really??? I do want shares of FB, but it seems it hasn't found its bottom. I have a limit set @ $25.45. If it hits, then I'm in. Otherwise I'll what and when it starts to move up again then I'll buy.
Simply put there is only negative guidance out there right now, and no one is selling at this price unless they got in early. Those folks have pulled out, and the rest are selling for tax season.
Once we are into April there is a very good chance that the stock will steadily rise on more volume with tax refunds and earnings on the way. It's hard to imagine worse guidance than that was given last time around, and for the stock to fall further would require a major analyst downgrade.
Why sell now? Does anyone really believe there will be a wild miss at next earnings when expectations are now already pathetically low? Why sell at $24 or $25 now, when clearly there is at least a 50/50 chance for a steady move up in April into earnings.
With the worst guidance, the worst executed IPO, the worst likability of any stock of all time, and the worst CEO and COO support of a stock price in history, FB is still selling at near the initial IPO price. Yes, there is a chance that it will fall further with the H&S pattern. But there is also a very good chance that it is now oversold, and that new buyers are going to move on now that earnings season is coming around. The daily selling pattern just makes no sense out of the tax season and Passover holiday context.
The time for speculators to start buying is approaching.
Sentiment: Buy
(respectful) REBUTTAL TIME: five (counter-) points...
1) "... 4Q12 over 3Q12 revenue growth is 25% vs. 3Q12 over 2Q12 growth of 6.6%..."
-- investors are forward looking; that comp is old history and not relevant. growth based on a company that previously had NO mobile strategy. can FB "sustain" rev growth to justify valuations going forward?
2) "...stock compensation last year when the IPO was issued, such huge expense would not incur in 2013..."
--already factored in. AND DON'T FORGET zuckerberg has been warning about increased operating expenses from this year's product rollouts and expansions. (will weigh heavily on earnings. whether or not expansion is effective will still be in question.)
3) "Therefore, the earnings in 2013 would be much better in comparison to 2012."
--given points (1) and (2), this could make for tougher comps!
4) "Although it is highly overvalued, it still has good growth potential."
--you sure about that? the key word: "POTENTIAL;" the questionable word: "good." where does the growth come from, foreign? the valuable growth comes from domestic (usa). check the ARPU stats (avg rev per user): foreign brings in only 1/7th of domestic. domestic user growth under pressure. ESPECIALLY THE ALL IMPORTANT YOUTH! youth are abandoning facebook in droves for a variety of reasons (including new and more tailored competition, and the "fad factor").
5) "The more important thing is, financial institutions would not let their money sit in FB as dead money (institutional holding is 47%), they must do something to pump up the stock again. Note that institutional holding increased 24% from Oct 1 - Dec 31, 2012."
--YOU ARE RIGHT-- ANOTHER DOWNSIDE RISK. looking at the chart, the avg pps in Q412 was (generously) $22-$24. if sentiment changes, institutions may get out; the first to get out salvage their gains realized since Q412. THIS COULD RESULT IN SELLING PRESSURE ON PPS.
CONCLUSION: FB stock could be "revaluing" itself.
Thanks for the detailed points. I would take them into consideration and watch the price movement closely to determine if I should keep or sell my stocks. In the near term, I think the stock has more uptrend than down trend and would like to hold on for some time.
"CONCLUSION: FB stock could be "revaluing" itself." the new range could well become in the neighborhood of $21-$24. [DISCLAIMER: I HAVE BEARISH CALL SPREAD WITH LOWER STRIKE OF $25.5, so yeah i am short for about a week, but not as short as i think this thing could go.]
You cant make quarter over quarter comparisons because the business is seasonal. (4th quarter is the best quarter in the season.) Make year over year comparisons. The stock compensation expenses were due to newly issued shares and this year per the conference call they will issue many new shares. There will be a lot of share based expenses this year. This is not bull bear argument.
Thank you. I did not mean to omit year over year comparison. I assume the 4Q12 over 4Q11 revenue growth of 40.1% and full year 2012 over 2011 revenue growth of 37.1% are the basic things investors should have noticed. I just take a closer look at the sequential quarterly growth also.
excellent buying opps now!
I would not panic on dips in FB. If the past is any indicator then FB will rally into earnings next month, and after that who knows. Call options are out pacing Puts going into next month.
....call options outpacing puts is a good reason for a sell off!
that's 3 months ago...plenty of selling since I think you will find!
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Musings on morning time
As our Advent break draws nearer to the end, I've been reading, one by one, the Ordo Amoris posts on Morning Time. I am doing this because our own morning time, which evolved naturally over the last two years as I noticed that we did a lot of great work in the mornings, has a lot in common with hers. Being older and more experienced, I want to learn what I can from her to make it run more smoothly.
Overall, her posts have been very encouraging, and helped to solidify what we were already doing naturally, and to give me a vision for what it was and could be in the future (as my kids are still very young.)
Around here we call our family meetings "Consilium" which means "council" in Latin. It also means advice, wisdom, judgement, plan, and purpose. Seemed like it fit.
On my schedule, Consilium I happens after breakfast and liturgy of the hours but before individual work, chores, or personal hygiene.
Consilium II happens around the lunch table, and Consilium III happens around Fika, our tea / snack time. I'm a big planner, so each section is already pre-planned. We *try* to do each consilium each day, but since we don't always get to it, I also love that consilium is in addition to their normal, everyday work. It's an addded bonus, but it IS where we do the bulk of our growing/learning/family educational culture stuff.
In our house, Consilium I consists of our "calendar meeting" and the Connecting With History work. We open with calendar time, which isn't what other people do with a special time of that same name. Instead, we open our calendar, discuss upcoming events, and record firsts (first snow, first leaves falling, first steps, etc.) in our book of firsts. We also do a quick habits lesson, and a run down of any character type stuff that's been going on and needs to be addressed. Lastly, we go through one section of the Catechism and discuss. It's a family meeting.
Then we either read from a history book or a book of saints biographies as per our CWH day. We discuss what we have read and do map drills and pages in our book of centuries. We might act out a scene from history. CWH basically lays out the program, and we just follow along, doing something different each week. We also might do memory work from our history readings or the Bible. And we discuss the catechism, and it's relation to what we are reading.
Consilium II consists of Arts & Literature. We read a poem and practice reciting a poem we are learning, and then we read some literature, usually something of a "classics" kind of nature like Peter Pan, or Treasure Island. On Tuesdays, it consists of a Shakespeare reading, Thursdays, a Plutarch reading, and Fridays, a Picture Study and Composer study. Maybe a poet study if we have something scheduled for that day. The rest of the week we just continue in a good lit book, often mythology or an epic poem.
Consilium III consists of Science & Geography. This is when we do nature study or outdoor geography, read geographical poetry and / or do experiments. If it's raining or we are indoors, I do a read aloud from The Story of Science or from a geography book I select that has a bushcraft/survivalism or travel type theme.
Consilium IV is not called that, nor is it official, but that's what it is. Sometime between dinner and bed we read the Bible and discuss it. We also fit in a folk song.
In other words, I break up my "morning time" into small chunks throughout the day, and since we pray the liturgy of the hours as a family (which consists of prayers, psalms, a scripture reading, and intercession) several times a day, we don't really consider it a liturgy. The two are intimately connected though.... praying the liturgy of the hours before Consilium prepares us to head into consilium in a different mindset.
In reading these blogs, I was a bit put off by her insistence that morning times are liturgy and I admit I giggled a little a I read about her frustration with forgetting to say: "the Lord be with you...." at the end.
As a Catholic family, we differentiate between individual actions and communal actions undertaken by the entire church but when we can we attempt to unite to the body of Christ, not divide from it. We already have liturgy, and we participate in the liturgies of the Church daily, so we don't need to innovate new --less perfect, less communal-- liturgies. But there was something to her insistence that I completely acknowledge and understand. She is trying to emphasize that what happens in morning time is sacred. Something holy is happening as we struggle and endeavor to recite, discuss, and read and debate and grasp in peace. And that, right there, is something I completely understand.
I also understand her insistence on doing it in the morning. I don't know what it is about the morning. All I can say is that we have their attention. Something magical happens in the morning in their minds and in ours. That's why I chose to do history in the mornings. It's the one thing that catechizes them super profoundly, so I wanted to makes sure they got a double dose of catechism in the day via history study in the AM, when they are paying attention.
For me, by the time afternoons come around it's usually the time when they get rowdy, so having outdoor events planned for that moment is really great. It also allows me to do whatever work I want to accomplish in the house while they flit around outside noticing things and looking them up. I have thought about switching my focus to make Consilium I longer and more all-inclusive. My children at this time are all so young that I'm not sure they would be able to handle more than one read aloud at a time. All things are possible, but at this time I don't really see how I would do it.
These are some of our most treasured times together, and though it would be easier to just school them individually and move on, it's of infinite worth to me that these times build up the communal/family culture. My children enjoy the individual time they get with me, but they do the bulk of their growing through our family interactions and work towards a common goal. We have a large family mindset, recognizing the value of interaction between us, and so for us.... that's what it's all about!

Although there's been some backlash lately against music streaming services, that doesn't mean they're slowing down. Just last month, I finally made the leap to Spotify Premium and I'd be lying if I said my life isn't monumentally better as a result. Finally, I can listen to "Dancing On My Own" by Robyn even when I'm underground. So, it's no surprise that YouTube has decided to try its hand at a streaming music subscription service. Although it's not yet official, new screen leaks suggest that YouTube will be realeasing YouTube Music Key to compete in the streaming game.
According to Android Police, YouTube Music Key will be a $10 monthly streaming music service enabling users to play YouTube songs without ads, watch videos in offline playback and allow users to listen to YouTube in an audio-only mode (a huge selling point). For example, just this week I was watching Ween's live concert in Chicago via YouTube, and I came across their live performance of "She F**ks Me," which I much preferred to the version on 1991's album, [easyazon-link asin="B002C2XXJE" locale="us"]The Pod[/easyazon-link]. But alas, I don't have access to the track anywhere but YouTube. Sometimes, you just want to hear the live, unreleased version of a song you like without necessarily needing the accompanying video of the sweaty rockers singing the tune. No offense, AC/DC. It will also make suggestions based on things you've already listened to.
Music Key hopes to give users access to more than 20 million high-quality tracks which puts them on the same level as Spotify and Beats Music. And if you're on the fence, you can try out the service as part of their 30-day free trial.
So, could there possibly be a downside to making Music Key your primary music streaming service? Billboard reported back in June that YouTube was in the midst of a royalty dispute with artists such as Adele, Vampire Weekend and Arctic Monkeys. Mind you, I can live without Adele but Vampire Weekend and Arctic Monkeys are a necessity in my collection.
Would you make the switch to YouTube's Music Key music and video streaming service?

News 12 at 11 o' clock / Saturday, March 17, 2012
AIKEN, S.C. -- It's a 70-year-old tradition in Aiken, and some serious bragging rights come along with it. The 70th annual running of the Aiken Trials were Saturday.
Wes Carter, the owner of Wes Carter Training Stables, says, "We've been prepping for the last month or so trying to get them ready to perform here."
Steven Trainum is a jockey for the Wes Carter Training Stables, and he rode two horses in Saturday's race.
"They're young horses so this is gonna be like a schooling race," he said.
And Saturday's race was about a whole lot more than just horses. For some, it's about tradition.
The Williams family has been coming to the Aiken Trials for more than 30 years, and you can tell this isn't their first rodeo.
"The group has grown over the years and we've just gotten bigger and bigger," Williams said.
And they had a tailgate fit for a king, complete with a custom-made grill chock-full of shish kabobs, turkey, barbecued chicken and a spread of delicious food that you could smell for miles.
Generations of their family have come to see this race, all for one thing -- "BIG HORSIES!" said one of the youngest family members, Caden Williams.
"Big horsies" that take a whole lot of time and money to prepare for a race like this.
"We get on them every day -- they train every day for this kind of thing," Trainum said.
"It's great to win, but it's not the most important thing," Carter told News 12.
For Carter, Saturday's race was all about practice for his young horses.
"Neither of mine have started before. They haven't run in a race at all," he said.
And his young colt, named Man of the World, had a first race that turned out to be pretty dramatic.
"The first horse I raced ran really well, but the girl in front of me took a spill -- lucky for me I didn't run over her, I kind of swung wide to avoid hitting her," Trainum said.
And even though the horse lost its rider, he just kept right on moving, nearly running over anyone in his path, including our camera.
The jockey thrown from the horse was able to get out of the way and luckily wasn't injured.
But, even though it was a rocky race, Man of the World came out on top, and his handlers couldn't have been more proud.
"I feel pretty good," Carter said. Trainum mimics that sentiment, saying, "Pretty good, a little bit psyched still, my adrenaline is going."

As a "doting" mum of two little rascals I know that sometimes you just have to break the rules and let them gorge on some sweet nasties! One of these times is Halloween!
Halloween for most parents = loads of junk and sugar! Every parent's nightmare! Instead of denying kids the treats, parents can make the Halloween season a chance to learn about good and bad foods…
Be consoled, the most important thing is not what they do or eat on one day; it's what they do every day of the year. So keep it in perspective and let the fun begin!
Here I share some recipes from my "Catherine's Family Kitchen" cookbook and offer some tips for a slightly healthier Halloween food plan:
Eat before you trick-or-treat. Serve your child a nutritious meal or snack before going trick-or-treating so they won't be so inclined to devour ALL their bag of sweets in one go!
Set limits. Set limits on how many sweets/treats can be eaten each day over the holiday period and how long the treats can stay in the house. Remember it's parents who are in charge of what kids eat. And they are what you feed them!
Think beyond traditional treats. Offer kids non-sweet alternatives like boxes of raisins, cheese crackers, pumpkin scones, pumpkin & sweet potato soup, baked apples, plain biscuits, bread sticks or cheese & fruit kebabs.
Distraction is great. Plan Halloween games for your kids when they come back from "trick or treating" this will distract them from their horde of goodies (or should I say badies)!
Cod Fingers with Mushy Peas and Roasted Sweet Potatoes
(recipe from Catherine's Family Kitchen)
This is comfort food for kids … but I bet you'll have difficulty keeping the adults away. It's surprisingly quick and easy to make your own fish fingers – or goujons if you want to be posh and it'll set them up for a night of trick or treating!
Serves 4
For the cod fingers:
150g breadcrumbs
3 tbsp grated Parmesan
1 tbsp chopped fresh
salt and freshly ground
black pepper
1 egg, beaten
700g skinless cod, cut
into 2cm strips
sunflower oil
For the mushy peas:
150g frozen peas
2 tbsp water
3 tbsp cream
1 small sprig of mint,
salt and freshly ground
black pepper
For the sweet potatoes:
500g sweet potatoes,
halved and cut into 1cm
extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground
black pepper
lemon wedges, to serve
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6.
2. To prepare the sweet potatoes, place the slices in a roasting pan, drizzle with oil, salt and pepper and roast for about 20 minutes, until tender. Keep warm.
3. To prepare the cod fingers, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and parsley on a wide plate. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place the beaten egg on a separate wide plate.
4. Dip the fish into the beaten egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture, gently shaking off any excess breadcrumbs. Set the breaded fingers aside on a plate. Repeat the process with the rest of the fish. Place the plate in the fridge for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, to make the mushy peas, put the peas and water in a saucepan and cook for 5–6 minutes, until softened. Roughly mash the peas and add the cream, mint and salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
6. Heat some oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the fish to the pan in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for 2–3 minutes, or until cooked through.
7. To serve, place the mushy peas in a bowl in the centre of a large platter. Pile the cod fingers around the bowl, followed by the roasted sweet potatoes. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
This can be made with strips of chicken and is delicious with a homemade tomato sauce and paprika potato slices.

On account of the irregularity in shape and uncertainty of size, location and communication of the accessory cavities of the nose, the diagnosis of the exact cavity or sinus involved in the acute stage of inflammation is frequently impossible. In the subacute or suppurative stage the diagnosis is not often difficult. Time will not be taken to refer in detail to these irregularities. The recent original research and publications made by Cryer of Philadelphia, B. Douglas of New York and Turner of London, have added greatly to our knowledge of the minute anatomy, and to them we are indebted for knowledge that enables us to deal radically and successfully with these pathologic conditions.
Attention is briefly called to the meati of the nasal cavities because the accessory sinuses communicate through them to the nasal chamber. These sinuses, or air chambers, both on anatomic and clinical grounds, are divided into two

Following investigation by the Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit (DCPCU), four criminals have been imprisoned for debit and credit card fraud activity.
The gang were sentenced to a total of 15 years at Southwark Crown Court for the debit and credit card fraud that took place last year.
They tampered with chip and PIN devices at a number of petrol stations to enable them to copy the electronic data from customer's credit and debit cards.
This personal information was then used to make fake magnetic strips for cards to be used fraudulently overseas in countries yet to introduce chip and PIN.
Detective Chief Inspector John Osibote, who leads the DCPCU, said "The Unit has prevented a significant amount of card fraud from taking place. We have worked closely with both the banking and retail sector on this investigation, and together we are sending a very clear message that those responsible for these types of fraud will be caught and prosecuted."
Protecting your personal information is vital at all times – whether it's making sure you don't leave any on your old PC or regularly checking your credit report so that you can spot any unfamiliar activity, you need to be proactive.

News Release
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The results of the "Carolinas Competitiveness Forum" are in: leaders in business, government, economic development, academia and the non-profit sectors must embrace more regional approaches to economic development to respond to the expectations of the global economy and "new rules" of the manufacturing sector.
"If the positive energy we have seen over the last 24 hours from our 300 participants is any indication, we are ready to take regional economic development initiatives to the next level in the Carolinas," said Duke Power President Ruth Shaw. "Regions in the Carolinas, certainly the upstate of South Carolina and the piedmont section of North Carolina, have the size, scale and resources to thrive as a series of cohesive economic centers. If we can become more collaborative competitors, we can get the Carolinason the short list for major investments, to build on the powerhouse of capabilities we share."
Forum participants were encouraged to take the point of view of those charged with selecting sites or expanding facilities. Site selection teams first narrow their choices to a few major regions or even countries. They evaluate proximity to transportation, quality infrastructure, specific work force abilities, costs structures and convenience to supplies and markets.
"The interstate highways that connect this region are potent. Link them to the airport in Charlotte and the port in Charleston and it's a winning combination. In manyindustries we have combined capabilities that make the Carolinas stronger together than either state can ever be alone in the global competition for good jobs," Shaw added.The Carolina Competitiveness Forum was sponsored by Duke Power and is a cornerstone event for the company's 100th anniversary celebration. The forum was designed to be provocative, test deeply held beliefs and generate new ideas. It featured "real-time" electronic polling by all participants during intensive breakout sessions that focused on the future role of manufacturing in the Carolinas, building the Carolinas competitive advantages and the drivers of economic development transformation.
The following are a few highlights of the polling of forum participants.
What is the key asset which the Carolinas should enhance to be even more competitive?
Who can do the most to improve economic development cooperation between N.C. and S.C.?
Which of these growing manufacturing sectors can be most vibrant in the long term for the Carolinas?
Keynote speaker and economist Dr. Kenichi Ohmae, discussed the importance of branding a large "super corridor" for economic development and the need to focus on developing capabilities to attract a few key industries rather than trying to be all things to all people. He noted the Carolinas had a "rich story" and encouraged the audience to tell it better.
"It would be great to see North Carolina and South Carolina get together and do joint international marketing to promote economic development," said Mark Sweeney, senior principal for McCallum-Sweeney Consulting based in Greenville, S.C., who led a forum breakout session. "International clients typically already have this regional approach and I think it would help us be more effective."
"Hats off to Duke Power for putting together a productive forum to help celebrate its 100th anniversary," said North Carolina Secretary of Commerce Jim Fain. "The forum's focus on sustaining manufacturing and collaborative competition has been very useful. I am confident that this event will pay economic development dividends."

A United Express plane landed safety at Burlington International after a captain on board said the jet was having difficulty with its flaps.
That prompted airport officials to call for a Phase 5, its highest alert level. Emergency crews from surrounding communities were called in as the plane landed.
Flight 5719 from Washington had approximately 40 people on board, officials said. The plane landed safely just before 7 p.m.
A plane with the same tail number made a return trip to Washington later Wednesday evening.
No word is the cold weather was to blame.

But even feeding deadly basilisks and tracking down missing griffins didn't prepare her for the crisis that is unfolding at her family's Menagerie. The goose who laid the golden eggs has been murdered—and all the evidence points to a dragon named Scratch.
Now that he's part of the secret Menagerie, Logan Wilde is determined to help. He and Zoe are sure that the dragon is being framed, but unless they can prove he is innocent, Scratch will be executed.

Iain Duncan Smith: direct payments to remain for refuges

Iain Duncan Smith: direct payments to remain for refuges
Work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith has told MPs that domestic violence victims will see their housing benefit paid directy to their refuge under Universal Credit.
Mr Duncan Smith was yesterday quizzed in Parliament by Tory MP for Meon Valley, George Hollingbery, who asked IDS to reassure those concerned that the 'direct payments to claimants' policy under Universal Credit would be waived in such cases.
It follows concerns by Women's Aid back in August that the proposal to pay claimants directy could have a detrimental impact on the provision of refuge services.
Mr Hollingbery said: "The Government have made it clear that although they are keen that most people should be able to deal with the direct payment of housing benefit, that will not be appropriate for all. Will my right hon. Friend reassure the House, and those outside who are concerned about women's refuges and their futures, that direct payment may be waived in those circumstances?"
Mr Duncan Smith said: "My hon. Friend raises a very important issue. We are already in discussions with such groups and have made it clear that anybody suffering domestic violence will immediately be taken through the system and the money will be paid directly. The refuges, as we have already said, will get their money and there will be no hesitation. That is an absolutely critical area and it will be provided for completely by Universal Credit."
