Cellular Service Competition

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
GAO discussed the competitive structure of the cellular telephone service industry and whether the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) policies ensure the availability of cellular services at competitive prices. GAO noted that: (1) a market in which only two firms provide a service is unlikely to have competitive prices because the firms may have incentives to recognize their interdependence and maintain prices above the competitive level; (2) resellers who buy blocks of cellular service at wholesale rates and then repackage and sell the service to consumers do not generally provide lower rates; (3) FCC has not periodically obtained cost and pricing data to evaluate the profitability of the industry; (4) states have authority to regulate intrastate cellular rates; and (5) emerging technologies that provide service similar to cellular service may improve the competitive structure of the industry if they are furnished by firms other than those already providing cellular service in a given market.

Very disrespectful IMO.
Whilst I don't doubt this is the kind of thing Bones would do, this could be absolutely anywhere on earth.
lmao, The funny thing is Jones had teammates on that card and Chael wanted to step up and help them keep their paydays.
I wonder if anyone will step up and take credit for doing it, just so we can see all the people who start saying that they are covering for JBJ.
Real mature, lol. It was probably Greg Jackson's doing. Dana said he did need psychological help. Team Jackson should have no reason to be against Chael Sonnen. They should be mad at the UFC and vice-versa. Chael was just trying to be a company guy.
Looks like someone is...
**puts on sunglasses**
... taking the piss.
This is not a game they want to play with Sonnen, they will lose.
The way things are going, when asked about this, Sonnen will take the high road and Jones will come off looking ever worse.
Well at least it is nice to know there was a urinal nearby so that when Jon was asked to fight Chael, he only pissed in his pants a little bit before he made the toilet.
Jon, you had the highground, now Chael completely owns you after exposing your cowardice and fear of him.

Papich, Blake, Neighbors help No. 4 Gannon edge Cal
CALIFORNIA -- No. 4 Gannon squandered a big lead, but when the Knights fell behind the only time during the game, Jen Papich and Nettie Blake responded.
Senior forward Papich had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and junior forward Blake finished with 18 points and made free throws when they counted most in a 65-57 PSAC West victory over California Wednesday night at the Convocation Center.
Gannon (19-1, 8-1) led 22-8 in the first half and 40-31 in the second half when the Vulcans (11-7, 5-4) took a 49-48 lead on a 3-pointer by Emma Mahady with 4 minutes, 37 seconds remaining.
But Blake, who missed her first five free-throw attempts, made two at the line at the 4:18 mark to regain the lead, and reserve sophomore guard Morgan Neighbors connected for her third straight 3-pointer after a steal by senior point guard Kelley Sundberg.
Papich and Blake scored inside, and though Cal trailed 59-56 with 58 seconds to go, Blake made two more free throws and Papich made three to seal the win and sweep the Vulcans, who had won nine-of-10.
Neighbors finished with 11 points as Division II 3-point leader Brittany Batts was blanked from long range.
Kaitlyn Fratz led Cal with 18 points, while 5-foot 8-inch forward Ashley Hines had 14 points and 14 rebounds. Cal had a 43-35 advantage on the boards.
Gannon shot 53.5 percent from the field (23-of-43, 3-of-8 on 3-pointers) to offset 21 turnovers.
Cal shot 30 percent (20-of-67) and 3-of-14 on 3-point attempts.

CIS Wonders Why 'Handsome Illegal' in Zuckerberg Ad Wants Path to Citizenship
The Center for Immigration Studies was not taken with the ad that Mark Zuckerberg's FWD.us put together profiling Alejandro Morales, a DREAMer who wants to serve in the Marines:
CIS fellow David North wrote in a blog post yesterday entitled "That Handsome Illegal Wanting to be a Marine – Tell It to the President!" that Morales should just give up on a roadmap to citizenship. North grants that Morales is "handsome, and frankly admirable," but argues that instead of fighting for citizenship, the DREAMer should push for the Pentagon take advantage of a loophole in federal code and allow him to serve in the military without granting him any sort of legal status.
"If the DREAMers really want to enlist, and feel thwarted, why aren't they demonstrating outside the Pentagon, or the White House?" he demands.
Remember that handsome, and frankly admirable, young illegal who wants to be a Marine? The one in the Mark Zuckerberg TV ad reported on by my colleague Jerry Kammer?
The impression from the ad is that the nation needs to pass the omnibus immigration "reform" bill so that he can enlist.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
There is no need for a 1,200-page piece of legislation, involving the admissions of millions of people a year as immigrants and nonimmigrants, to bring the young man and the Marines together.
The Secretary of Defense currently has the power, under law, to deem that it is "in the national interest" to issue a ruling allowing an illegal, or a bunch of them, to enlist in the services. The legal citation is here. So, if the DREAMers really want to enlist, and feel thwarted, why aren't they demonstrating outside the Pentagon, or the White House?

Payroll employment little changed in May 2011
June 07, 2011
Total nonfarm payroll employment was little changed in May (+54,000), following gains that averaged 220,000 per month over the previous 3 months.
Private-sector employment continued to trend up (+83,000) in May, although by a much smaller amount than the monthly average from February to April (+244,000). Job gains occurred in professional and business services, health care, and mining. Local government employment continued to trend down.
Employment in professional and business services continued to increase in May (+44,000), with notable job gains occurring in accounting and bookkeeping services (+18,000) and in computer systems design and related services (+8,000).
Health care employment continued to expand in May (+17,000). Employment in the industry had risen by an average of 24,000 per month over the prior 12 months. Mining added 7,000 jobs in May. Employment in mining has risen by 115,000 since a recent low point in October 2009.
Employment in manufacturing changed little in May (-5,000). Job gains in fabricated metal products and in machinery were offset by losses in transportation equipment, paper and paper products, and printing and related support activities.
These data are from the Current Employment Statistics program. The data are seasonally adjusted and preliminary. To learn more, see "The Employment Situation – May 2011," (HTML) (PDF) news release USDL-11-0809.

Should police scrap 'stop and search'?
Most police forces in England and Wales still unfairly target black and Asian people in their use of stop and search powers, the equality watchdog has said. Have you been stopped and searched?
The Equality and Human Rights Commission found that black people were at least six times more likely and Asian people were around twice as likely to be stopped and searched as whites. They added: "When police forces use different tactics, they cut stop and search, crime goes down."
The Home Office acknowledged that improvements were still needed, and said: "the government is committed to delivering a policing service, and a wider criminal justice system, which promotes equality and does not discriminate against anyone because of their race."
Is stop and search an effective way of reducing crime? Have you been stopped and searched by the police? How can forces tackle racism?

Given that Crime Watch seems to show a disproportional number of non whites in its "reconstructions" it would seem that the Police are simply using its time correctly.
I'm always VERY suspicious about the Equality and Human Rights Commission - it strikes me that they like to stir up "issues" every now and again - could it be that they are simply trying to justify their existance?

Ah another uncontoversial topic to be clamly & soberly debated.
First person to mention discrimination against white males wins a prize.
For what its worth the only time a specific ethnicity should be targeted in stop and search is where the police have specific information on the race of a suspect, or if they are specifically targetting terrorists from a particular ethnic/religous back ground.
Comment number 3.At 11:53 15th Mar 2010, suzie127 wrote:
What are the statistics of the amount of each ethnicity who were found guilty of a crime during stop and search. Perhaps this can help us gauge the situation more accurately.
Comment number 4.At 11:53 15th Mar 2010, Rufus McDufus wrote:
Apparently there's 'little evidence' that targeted stop and searches are reducing crime. But conversely there's no evidence I've seen that reducing targeted stop & searches would result in an increase in crime. Political Correctness prevents crime figures being released by ethnicity so unfortunately the public aren't allowed to judge whether it's right or wrong to target ethnic groups. Can't we just see the evidence for ourselves?
Comment number 5.At 11:54 15th Mar 2010, Keith Russell wrote:
Why does this HYS assume that Blacks and Asians are unfairly stopped just because they are stopped more. If a particular group is more involved in street crime then it is likely that they will be stopped more.
Looking at rates of conviction young black males are significantly more involved in street crime. Therefore I do not believe there is a problem.
If the police cannot target suspected offenders they're soon will be a problem.
Another HYS loaded with PC , BBC propaganda. Bring back the recommendations feature the public ( who fund you )would have exposed your bias on this one.

Perhaps that's because, in South London certainly and probably other major cities, black and asian youths are responsible for the vast majority of gun and knife crime?
Honestly, I know 'proportional representation' has its heart in the right place, but it's insulting at the best of time, and it's nigh-on dangerous with regards to controlling arrests.
Keep stop and search, scrap CCTV and the DNA database. A human touch and intuition is what's required, not all-encompassing surveillance.

In the event of a stop and search being intrusive, unlawful or

As these complaints are investigated by fellow police officers
redress is unlikely to be forthcoming. I therefore pledge to
pursue the issue through the IPCC and if the situation permits

(1) Does crime go down, or does the number of crimes detected go down if you don't stop and search?
(2) Yes I was stopped and searched on a weekly basis as a young man under Thatchers 1980's police state. I am white, so could not have cried racism.
(3) It's a sad fact that black kids are more likely to be in violent street gangs. This might be due to a racist job market or education system, but once they are on the streets, disarming and arresting murderers and drug dealers is not racist.
(4) Searching potential terroist threats is part of our national security. I don't see many white potential terrorists in Britain right now. The overwhelming majority of asians are decent law-abiding citizens, but I'd rather some of them got miffed becuase they were searched than my daughter getting blown to pieces on a bus by an insane religious fanatic.

Isn't this a bit of a leading question? Who says that the targetting is unfair. If Asian and Black youths are causing trouble and using knives (and they are where I stay) then its right and proper they are specifically targetted by Police. I don't understand what the issue is here; the Police are trying to stop these idiots from killing themselves, and are getting criticised for it.

'Stop & search' should reflect the makeup of those that are offending in a particular area. If that means targeting a particular ethnic group in a particular area then so be it. It matters not what that ethnic group is - ensuring the streets are safe should be the priority.
Comment number 12.At 12:01 15th Mar 2010, Victor Hugo wrote:
Stop and search statistics are meaningless without corresponding figures for crime rates based on race. If black people are twice as likely to be convicted of crimes, then higher stop and search ratios are justified. Likewise, lifestyles or culture of some races can expose them to greater police scrutiny than other races.
Merely looking at one piece of the puzzle invokes the old adage: "figures don't lie but liars figure."
Comment number 13.At 12:03 15th Mar 2010, Rob wrote:
Usually, a person who is treated with respect behaves respectfully, and when you treat them like a criminal they behave criminally.
Stop and search is an important tool to have, but maybe we should have the restrictions preventing it's abuse back.
i.e. Someone must be behaving hostile or provocatively to be stopped/searched.
Wondering whether an action is racist, is a sign of racism itself. Taking race into account of any decision, is racism. The discussion about the legality and use of "Stop and Search" should not be one of preventing abuse to minority races, but one of preventing abuse of all people.

The Police should have the right to stop and search at will. Any suggestions of racism should be ignored. Many years ago whilst travelling by car, I was stopped 3 times within a few miles. There had been a terrorist attack which I did not know about at the time. Did I reacte aggressively with any verbal, no. I allowed the Police to do their work.
I have been stopped by the Police when on holiday abroad. I always treat them with respect and I am always treated with courtesy. There is the lesson to be learned.

It is unfair that Black and Asians are stopped more often but at the time of the Irish Troubles my daughter who is Asian could pass straight through security checks whereas we were stopped and search because we look Anglo Saxon. I don't remember anyone complaining about descimination then when it was the other way round.
I know from experience that Blacks and Asians are given preferential treatment by many companies as far as jobs are concerned, this is equally unfair but I don't hear the Human Rights Commission complaining about this. Preferential treatment causes resentment but if these Commissions are to be taken seriously then they themselves must be seen to take action in all cases, not just the times when it suits their pc agenda

Law & Order has failed if we have to resort to Stop and Search. It simply means we are a nation were we are increasingly in fear of crime. This does not mean crime is worse, but this unacceptable law were the police can act on random suspicion makes us think it is worse than it is.
Policing should be about comforting and reassurring the general public as well as tackling criminals. Stop and Search may well help tackling criminals, but it does not reassure the general public if you are the innocent pedestrian who is stopped and searched as a suspected criminal.
If policing was working and at its maximum effect, the public would be less aware of the police and more aware of its effects in terms of peace, security and general less fear of crime.

Why does it always have to come down to racism?
It´s a fact that in some areas "non-white" people offend more. Surely it is the responsibility of the police with their local experience, to target groups or individuals they consider to be potential offenders rather than keep there selection politically correct.

I am a sixty five years old white man of Irish descent. I have been stopped and searched several times travelling early in the morning on fishing trips.
In the 1970's-80's it was a regular occurence. I expect this because of the hours I travel and the route I travel. I don't resent it because I have nothing to fear. In the 1970's-80' any car with an Irish, or Northern Irish, plate was stopped on the A55 Holyhead road because of the danger of terrorism.
I was always polite and co-operative. We never complained because terrorism was a fact and we were the nation that was producing the terrorists.
We are in the same position now. Should the police not stop and search a vehicle before a terrorist incident occured there would be an outcry.

How about targetting those sections of society that statistically are more likely to engage in crime in each Force's area? Unfortunately, crime statistics based on ethnic background are not released by Central Government - possibly because it might, in many cases, justify what police officers are already doing!
Even if an element of racism exists in the Police, the Service shouldn't be forced to avoid intercepting those suspected of involvement in crimes because of PC (sorry!) dogma. If the police officers do not intercept, unsolved crime goes up. If police officers make an ethnically-correct stop and search ratio, they will be wasting time on those who are not involved in crime, lose the majority public support and unsolved crime will increase because officers' efforts will be directed to an entirely pointless exercise.
Justice is supposed to be blind: that means you target crime and those most likely to be involved. Even if the measures can be construed as being racist (by those who try hard enough), if the actions are justified by statistics, so be it.

I think that this might be more about political agendas than actually giving a single solitary hoot about what happens to young asians and black people. And as an aside to all those getting hysterical about terrorists, can I also point out that it's a rare day that a young man is stopped and searched and found to have an IED - the police are looking for guns, knives and drugs.
Since these crimes are more prevalant in impoverished areas, and since more black and asian people live in those areas (and no, I'm not saying they're rough areas BECAUSE of the black and asian people living there, it's about poverty) then their demographic is disproportionally represented.
So - what's the problem?

The purpose of policing in the UK, which is (still!) done by consent and funded by the taxpayer, is to prevent crime and when that fails to catch the criminals. Stop and search is part of that process. It may fall disproprortionately on certain groups, but so what. Look at the published profiles of convicted criminals as a guide. It is not the job of the police to operate political correctness on any level, it is their job to prevent or solve crime and they need to use all means at their disposal. Crime is crime, end of story, and that is all that should drive the actions of the police force.

This is a classic example of the use of statistics to try to distort or present information in a leading way.
If ethnic minorities are commiting more crime (where are these stats?) then it is to be expected that ethnic minorities will be stopped and searched more often (as the EHRC claim) and this might result in "black and ethnic minority youths" being "over-represented in the criminal justice system" (as the EHRC researchers also found).
Frankly if stop and search is targeted at those likely to be commiting crime in the area, I don't care what 'community' or demographic they come from, and why would anyone else?

The huge flaw in your argument is that police stop and search in specifically targeted zones in an effort to lower crime. This means that many, many more searches will occur in such a zone than say, a middle class white area. I live in Sussex where there is no stop and search whatsoever. The areas that need to be targeted in an attempt to lower crime unfortunately tend to be high immigration areas. The murder capitals of London (and places i visit a lot) are found in the East end in almost exclusivley ethnic neighbourhoods. You need to think your arguments through a little more carefully.

Hmm.... Strong stuff. I just have to wonder what you are basing these assumptions on? There is a lot of street crime in the black and asian communitys, but it is also in the white community. You cant go on to some council estates in the city I live without expecting trouble. More often than not the assailent is white. It doesnt mean that I suddenly think that white people are causing all the problems in this city. I know that as the estate is mainly made up of white people that they are more likley to be the perp (Its the same in the black & asian areas. Its simply maths. The macho gang culture has infected all the races, they all dress and sound the same regardless of colour. It would be a lot easier to stop and search based on a persons dress sense, but just as pointless.

Incorrect. police receive tipp-offs of potential terrorist activity and more people are stopped and searched. More people are stopped and searched surrounding, for example, state events. Following 7/7, I was stopped and searched in a railway station by a policemen with a mchinegun (gladly allowed my rucksack to be searched).

During the early 90s I flew on a weekly basis for work from Manchester to Cork. As a white single male in my early 20s it was ALWAYS me who was singled out for questioning and searching.
Given that there was a specific threat from particular group of people at the time it was reasonable enough to expect this to occur. It did, and I just got on with it and the security staff were always polite and, if anything, apologetic for do their job.
As we have a new threat from a different group of people it's not too unreasonable to expect police to target that group - like they did with me. Also, since knife crime is prevalent within the male teenage black community, they must expect to be stopped too.

Stop and search powers should only be used when the police suspect that they will reveal evidence of criminal activity. Therefore the important statistic is the proportion of stop and searches that lead to arrest and successful prosecutions, regardless of race or age or anything else.
For some forces this proportion is much too low, which means that the judgment of the police officers is poor, and that their actions may be preventing the detection of more crime by alienating the public, than they are detecting.
Better police training is the answer.

Racial stereotyping as a reason for stopping and searching is plain wrong. A black or asian lad walking down the street in a hoody with his Ipod on could simply be cold and going to the shops to buy milk for his gran.
It is no different to stopping someone for "wearing a loud shirt in a built up area" or "being in possession of an offensive wife" (for those old enough to remember not the nine o clock news).

Even if this were not the case stop and search gives them an excellent tool for harrassment just like ASBOs - in neither case is there a need to have to any proof of crime or criminal activity. There should be limits to stop and search in those instances where the police believe, and are willing to document that belief on paper, that specific criminal evidence or possessions relating to crimal activity (weapons, tools of a burglars trade etc.) are to be found. Finally once these written "receipts" can be collected by victims of the police - and they are victims - the police should also loose their effective immunity to prosecution for harrassment and defamation.

This argument about stop and search is actually a mathematical one. There ARE more white men in prison than black or asian men. This is a fact.
However, as a percentage of population, there is a significantly higher percentage of young black men in prison, then young white men. Whether this decidedly politically incorrect statistic gets through the mods or not, it doesn't change the fact that it is true.
Therefore, the unpalatable truth is that the Police are more likely to detect a crime if they stop and search more young black men. It could therefore be argued that the Police are using the stop and search powers scientifically and cost effectively.
Well done the Police for not wasting tax payers money.
If we go down the route that the Racial Equality shouters are demanding, Police will have to then stop and search an equal number of racial groups. The result will be more crimes and less detection.
Is your equality really worth that?
Anyway, the answer to the problem lies with each racial/national community, not with the Police. If crimes weren't being committed, there would be less stop and search.

I suppose the moment we don't allow stop and search of people in high crime areas there will be accusations of racism because the area has been "abandoned by police". Lets not forget that you will never get equality in this stop and search programme because the numbers tend to be compared against the ethnic makeup of the UK rather than the local area.

Stop and search needs to be effective by targetting people who are most likely to commit a crime. Don't let the PC brigade destroy the effectiveness of the police by using the Race card. The police have a difficult job to do, let them get on with it.

Most people who live in London have either been a victim of street crime or personally know someone who has. In the light of those experiences it is sad to say that the Police's approach to Stop and Search isn't racism but realism.

"Little evidnece" for S&S being effective? I don't believe it! The sheer volume of statistics that show how much crime is down and how fabulously safe our city centres are now must surely be based on some evidence?
As for blacks being 6 times more likely to be S&Sed, perhaps that's a reflection on the shortage of whites on the streets, itself a reaction to all those menacing ethnic minority gangs hanging about.
Remember the Smith & Jones sketch, where a policeman used S&S against the same man for such midemeanours as "being in posession of thick lips and curly hair" and "looking at me in a funny way"? Some things never change. . .

Black and Asian people are not unfairly discriminated against.
There is a higher chance that they will be stopped because there is proportionately more crime committed by blacks than whites compared to their population sizes, and Asians are responsible for most recent terrorist bombings.

Everyone's saying black and asian people are convicted of more crime than white men (although from the actual statistics I've seen, that's debatable). But couldn't that be because they're the most likely to be stopped and searched rather than the other way round? Maybe if more white people were targeted, the figures would swing in the other direction.

To Peter Galbavy who stated that "the police are institutionally racist, sexist and ageist (against teen/young adult males)." When I joined the "JOB" one of the first things we were told at Hendon (by a black lecturer) was that the MAJORITY of petty and not so petty crimes were committed by black young people. That's why they are stopped so often. Would you rather they weren't stopped so that going equipped for burglaries wasn't discovered or that they aren't found to have the proceeds of robberies or weapons or drugs on their person? Be realistic.

AS far as I can make out, there has to be a Police presence to identify and stop people for a search. In my sleepy part of the country, while there is a lot of violent crime, the Police are more interested in speeding and helping people with insurance claims "after the event".
I think S&S is a valuable tool when it is used.

I am a young white female and have been stopped and searched under the terrorism act 6 times. I was even told on one stop and search that they had to search me for equality. Surely this is waste of police time if even the officers carrying out the searches think this is a joke?
Another friend of mine is searched at least twice a week and as his nationality is not on the stop and search form they ask him every time if they can tick a different box in order to fill quotas.
The government has set out so many targets for what people are meant to be doing wrong surely we are not going to achieve much. Do we honestly have a check box for what a terrorist or a criminal looks like? We have cases of top business men commiting crimes but what are the chances of them being searched on the street? This country needs to start thinking about who they target and why they are targeting these people. The line does go after all 'innocent until proven guilty'.

Universal In Talks To Make 'Kick-Ass 2;' Jeff Wadlow To Write And Direct
Posted on Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 by Germain Lussier
Earlier this week, Kick-Ass co-creator John Romita Jr. said he believed Kick Ass 2 would start filming this summer aimed at a spring 2013 release. It's the kind of thing we've been hearing for years, ever since the release of Matthew Vaughn's fantastic 2010 adaptation of the comic by Romita Jr. and Mark Millar. This time, however, it seems that statement might actually be true.
Deadline is reporting that Universal is in talks to make Kick-Ass 2, taking over from original distributor Lionsgate. That's the good news. The bad news is Vaughn is out, replaced by Jeff Wadlow, who directed Never Back Down and Cry_Wolf. There's more after the jump. Read More »

Bonfire of the Vanities Coming to Assassin's Creed 2 on Thursday
The final missing chapter will open up Florence, introduce the spring jump.
The last missing chapter from Assassin's Creed 2 will be coming this Thursday, February 18, according to a tweet from Ubisoft. The company also released a couple of screenshots of the content, showing a previously inaccessible area of Florence (above) and a potential assassination (below). As previously reported, the Bonfire of the Vanities will cost $4.99, or 400 Microsoft Points. It opens a large chunk of Florence, and involves hunting down a monk named Savonarola. This will continue the plot introduced in the Battle of Forli downloadable content.
There has been some amount of consternation over Ubisoft charging for cut content, but in the past game portions that were trimmed for time concerns would simply never be mentioned. The costs are being kept fairly reasonable, and if you buy the sequences before you reach the end of Sequence 11 it will play through the game as if nothing is missing. On the other hand, cut content is sometimes cut for a reason. Check out our DLC impressions from the Battle of Forli if you're on the proverbial fence about the Vanities.

"if you buy the sequences before you reach the end of Sequence 11 it will play through the game as if nothing is missing. "
For some reason I'd rather that be an option. ( And looks like it is! @RudeRevolver, saw your post, thanks for the explanation!) I had liked the fact that there were missing pieces of memory, made it seem more "real world" that technology falters. Also it sped up the pacing a bit, made more sense to skip after facing Borgia since Forli and Bonfire seemed a chapter all its own.
I personally rather have it be introduced as "Hey, we recovered the missing pieces, you can dive into them while we drive to the new place."
Also, if Ubisoft is integrating, will that new spring jump move carry over into the main game? Or just stay in the Bonfire chapter?
Either way nice to see a game world being filled. If the chapter doesn't fit, I'd say it's more with the scenario writers then actual "not supposed to be in". I'm sure there were some reworking involved to keep the game complete without it. And now to put it back in may break the flow a bit. Not easy. ;)
i need to finish the game firstPosted: Feb 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by abercrombieco2
but im def going to check these out i can't wait. i'm on the 7th sequence the game keeps geting better , i need to find all the glyphs and the last 2 tombs as well.

don' rush in russia
My belief is this rally has more to do with Russia than the scandal with Dilma. She is ahead in the polls by a very wide margin and the latest scandal (if you wish to call it that) has not even moved the meter in her lead. I believe this has to do more with Russia potentially isolating itself from other countries thereby giving Brazil the opportunity to sell more of their oil. Best to all!
yes,I think the Russian will soon find out they wil be paying a price for annexing Ukraine,the west is going to wean itself from Russian oil and gas,especially gas!
We can debate all we want about the initial catalyst for the turn, the reality is that now technicals are driving this stock.

By Erica Wisniewski - 10/17/11 10:37 PM EDT
GOP presidential Ron Paul identified more than 200,000 government jobs as "nonproductive" Monday and called for the termination of five Cabinet-level agencies.
In his "Plan to Restore America," Paul, a Republican lawmaker from Texas, proposes $1 trillion in cuts to government agencies, including the termination of the departments of Commerce, Education, Energy, Interior and Housing and Urban Development. The cuts contained in the economic plan would slash thousands of jobs that Paul concludes to be "nonproductive."
Pressed on the issue of military spending and nuclear arms, Paul said he wants the U.S. to scale back on its weapons arsenal, adding that the U.S. "has enough[nuclear arms] to blow up the world about twenty times, and people are calling for more."

Lights onJuly 04,2013
Lights on
It would seem to me that one solution for the school board to explore in solving the lighting project shortfall of $30,000 would be as follows:
1. Find a friendly bank to loan the $30,000 over a reasonable period of time.
2. Raise the adult ticket price for every athletic event by a reasonable amount that would be used to pay back annually the loan. Only the new amount would be used to accomplish the loan payback as the athletic department would retain the balance.
My guess is too that Friday night football would increase attendance, yielding more revenue to accelerate the payback.

Choosing the perfect book light for a specific application can be challenging. The whole selection process can be made even more complex if you have never had to make a choice before. However, by taking into considerations factors like of how, where and how often a light will be used, the right choice can be made. To get you started, here is how to choose the most appropriate led book light.
Light quality and brightness modes
These are two important requirements that must be considered when shopping for the best led book light. A good number of book light designs are too bright, others are too harsh or dim, all of which are not good for your eyes. The light produce must be of high quality and sufficient.
The best light is the even one and that comes with several brightness modes. It is one of the most comfortable to use for it usually illuminate equally and the different brightness mode feature allows you to adjust the brightness of the light depending on what you want. (more…)

I am by nature a contrarian value investor who prefers stocks with low valuations, solid growth prospects and whose shares are temporarily undervalued by the market. I also like high dividend payers whose payouts should increase in the future. Sometimes a stock presents itself that appeals both my value and dividend desires. One such stock is BP Plc (BP)
4 reasons BP should appeal to dividend investors.
- The stock yields 4.5% and just raised its dividend payment for the first time since the Gulf Oil Spill. Its dividend yield is higher than peers Chevron (CVX) at 3.2% and Exxon (XOM) at 2.2%.
- BP just settled with the majority of the plaintiffs in that spill, which should free it up to increase dividend payouts in the near future.
- Investors should remember that BP was paying $3.36 a share in annual dividends prior to spill. It is now paying $1.92 annually, even after February's increase. The company has far to go before it gets to its prior dividend level.
- It has a payout ratio of less than 30% and an A rated balance sheet, both of which support higher dividend levels in the future.
4 reasons the stock has significant value at $43 a share.
- The median price target on BP is $54. S&P has a $58 price target on the stock.
- Analysts project BP will start to grow revenues again in FY2013, and it is priced at just over 6 times forward earnings.
- The stock is cheap at 36% of annual revenues and is just 23% over its book value.
- The company is a cash flow machine (Over $20B a year) and sells for just 6 times operating cash flow. Estimates for FY2012 and FY2013 have ticked up over the last week as well.
Disclosure: I am long (BP).

Citizen Zell finds life tough in the media
Times are hard for Jewish newspaper bosses as new media and the credit crunch
It has not been the kindest of times for American Jewish entrepreneurs. Sam Zell, the Chicago-based tycoon who a year ago rescued the Tribune group, publishers of the LA Times, the Chicago Tribune and Newsday, has found that running newspapers in the era of the internet and 24/7 news channels is a very different game to buying up distressed property and selling it on for big profits in a rising market.
In an entirely separate incident, Bernard Madoff, regarded as one of the safest pair of hands on Wall Street, confessed to the world's largest ever known fraud, a $50(£32.5)bn investment scheme, losing billions for a number of famous Americans.
The notables included, as the Wall Street Journal noted, Mort Zuckerman, president of the Committee of American Jewish Organisations, the Elie Wiesel Foundation and a charity run by movie director Stephen Spielberg.
The Sunday Telegraph unhelpfully pointed out that Madoff and his wife Ruth are fixtures on the "so-called Jewish circuit" in New York and Florida and gave millions to "education groups and Jewish charities".
As far as the media industry is concerned, the failure of the Tribune group has been of more interest. When Zell took over he made much of his ambition to control the newspaper of his childhood, the Chicago Tribune, once run by Colonel Robert McCormick — a notorious isolationist who was not known for his friendliness to the city's Jewish community. Similarly, Zell's presence as publisher of the fiercely WASP LA Times was also seen as likely to bring about change.
Zell's period as a newspaper publisher, however, has been marked by turmoil as he has sought to cut costs in the face of union resistance. I became aware matters were reaching breaking point recently when I received an email from Johanna Newman, a stalwart of the Washington bureau of the LA Times, who told me she was leaving after Zell decided he would amalgamate the Washington bureaux of the three papers.
The short-lived Zell ownership of the Tribune group provides a strong metaphor for the problems of America's print media. Across the USA (as in the British regions), titles are suffering, with 15,000 jobs across 1,400 titles lost over the last year. But what is most alarming is the injury inflicted on some of the big-city titles controlled by powerful publishing families. Most seriously perhaps, the New York Times, which carries more Middle East and Jewish news than any title in the world outside Israel, is struggling.
As Sam Zell filed for bankruptcy, crushed by $13bn of debt and falling circulation at all his titles, NYT boss Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, scion of the German Jewish families which created the modern NYT, sought a $225(£146)m sale and leaseback of its $600m designer headquarters, as it faced deadline payments on its $1.1(£0.7)bn of debt. Sulzberger, who began as a reporter, has left the NYT's huge reporting staff intact, but a 1,200-strong newsroom may not make economic sense in these times of falling circulation.
Worse, the NYT now has the Wall Street Journal challenging it directly. Since Rupert Murdoch took control last year, he has placed news on the front page and sought to make it a real alternative to the NYT. The Financial Times noted that if the "Grey Lady" is to survive, it will have to dismantle the empire built by Sulzberger's predecessors, including such assets as the Boston Globe.
America's great newspaper dynasties have built up their titles over more than a century. But a combination of new media and the credit crunch now threatens their survival. Unfortunately, Jewish media owners find themselves in the firing line.

LSU leads at the half
Baton Rouge - Marquette scored the game's first 13 points but trailed Louisiana State at halftime Monday, 26-23.
Jae Crowder began Marquette's game-opening run when he rebounded his own miss and scored.
Vander Blue then fouled LSU guard Anthony Hickey on a three-point shot but Hickey picked up a hat trick by missing all three foul shots.
Darius Johnson-Odom followed with a jumper, Crowder hit consecutive threes, Johnson-Odom followed with a three and Marquette led, 13-0 with 16:25 left.
LSU finally scored its first points when guard Ralston Turner made a three with 16:04 remaining. The Tigers scored five more to trim the lead to five but Davante Gardner converted a three-point play to put Marquette in front,16-8.
The Tigers scored twice inside and Turner was fouled on a three-point shot with 10:57 left. He made all three foul shots and the lead was down to one.
Crowder made a three-pointer, was fouled and converted the four-point play with 9:44 left. But LSU then hit the offensive boards and scored six straight to take its first lead, 21-20, with 7:50 left.
After Crowder's four-point play, Marquette went eight minutes without a basket and LSU extended its lead to five before Junior Cadougan sank a layup to cut the lead to 26-23 with 1:45 remaining.

Historical Traveler Reviews Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado Don Pablo Collection Samaná Peninsula
This is a beautiful place an excellent hotel only just opened in December 2006. There are still some teething problems and bugs to be worked out but everyone from the management down is trying really hard to get things running smoothly.
Cayo Levantado is a pretty little island with a private area where the hotel is and a public area where all the day trippers and cruiseboat types come to spend some time on the beautiful beach.
The only negative comment I have is that if you are into a more active holiday this will not suffice. It is more for a relaxing, laid back beach holiday at a superb 5 star resort.
Belles plages, hôtel médiocre
J'ai passé deux semaines complčtes sur l'île oů il y a une trčs bonne ambiance et des plages trčs photogéniques. Malheureusement, l'hôtel n'était pas trčs bien entretenu, avait un menu limité et quelques unes des chambres étaient envahies par des cafards énormes. Le calme de l'île était perturbé par des nombreux touristes venus en excursion pour la journée, et nous (les résidents) trouvions que cela gâchait l'atmosphčre d'île perdue ŕ la Robinson Crusoé.
Sur une note plus légčre, j'avais remarqué plusieurs serpents dans les broussailles, et j'avais demandé aux barmans de quelle sorte de serpent il s'agissait etc. Ils m'ont répondu qu'il n'y avait pas de serpents sur l'île. La tęte froide, j'ai réussi ŕ en attraper un et je l'ai amené au bar pour le montrer au barman. Sur quoi, il a débarrassé le bar et s'est enfui (ces serpents sont des constrictors inoffensifs).
Buenas playas, hotel flojo
Pasé dos semanas completas e la isla, que tiene mucho ambiente y playas fotogénicas. Sin embargo, el hotel no estaba muy bien cuidado, el menú era poco variado y algunas habitaciones estaban infestadas de enormes cucarachas. La paz de la isla se veía interrumpida por numerosas excursiones de un día y a los residentes nos parecía que tanta visita se cargaba la sensación de isla remota a lo Robinson Crusoe. También comentar, aunque no me importase tanto, que vi varias serpientes entre la maleza y cuando le pregunté al del bar de qué tipo eran, etc., me dijo sin inmutarse que en la isla no había serpientes. Conseguí coger una y la llevé al bar para enseńársela al camarero, que se marchó corriendo del bar (eran culebras constrictor inofensivas).
Gute Strände, schlechtes Hotel
Wir waren für ganze zwei Wochen auf der Insel und es gibt dort schönes Ambiente und fotogene Strände. Aber das Hotel ist nicht sehr gut gepflegt, hat nur eine beschränkte Speisekarte und einige der Zimmer hatten ein ernsthaftes Kakerlakenproblem. Der Frieden der Insel wurde von zahlreichen Tagesauflüglern gestört und wir (die Anwohner) fanden, dass es unser Robinson Crusoe Insel Feeling vermieste.
Eine lustige Geschichte: Ich habe einige Schlangen im Unterholz gesehen und habe das Barpersonal gefragt, was für eine Art von Schlange es sei usw. Mir wurde gesagt, dass es auf dieser Insel keine Schlangen gibt. Ich habe unerschrocken eine gefangen und habe sie zur Bar gebracht, um sie ihm zu zeigen. Der Barkeeper räumte die Bar ab und rannte aus dem Gebäude (die Schlangen waren harmlose Würgeschlangen).
Good beaches poor hotel
I stayed a full two weeks on the island which does have great ambiance and photogenic beaches. However,the hotel was not very well maintained, has a limited menu and some of the rooms were overun by huge cockroaches. The peace of the island was interupted by numerous day trip excursions and we (the residents) felt that this spoiled our remote Robinson Crusoe island. On a lighter note, I had noticed several snakes in the undergrowth and asked the bar staff what types they were etc. I was told that there were no snakes on the island, undaunted, I managed to catch one and took it into the bar to show the barman. The barman cleared the bar and ran out of the building (the snakes are harmless constrictors).
Don't miss out on this magnificant treasure
Travelled to Cayo Lavantado on March 30 - rented a car in Puerto Plata and hired the boat to take us to the beautiful breath-taking island, well worth the rental of car and boat! It was amazing - once you are there you don't want to leave......it is beyond paradise - it was magnificant!
The Best Beach We Found!
After 18 years of not vacationing in our native country, my husband and I stayed our first week at a wonderful resort in Punta Cana. Our second week, we spent in the Cibao visiting family and doing day trips which included Playa Bonita, Nagua among other beaches and Cayo Levantado. We found Paradise we thought! The unfortunate thing is that we only spent a couple of hours in the best beach yet! Our third week was spent at Boca Chica at another all incluside resort. Among all the beaches we visited during this three week stay, Cayo Levantado had the cleanest, most crystalline water to speak of. We want to go back and are looking for information on a new hotel that is suppose to be opening there. Anyone have any information please post it!

Paradise island
I visited samana pennisula for a 2 week holiday and managed to stay on barcardi island for a week of that. the island is so beautiful. one side is exculsive to the hotel and the other to the hundreds of day tripers.
The last boat leaves the island for the main land at 6pm and if you miss it, then you are stuck!!
I would recommend a trip there, and even a few nights in the hotel which is lovely.
it is pure paradise
Amazin' Paradisiac Place!
I went there many year ago. I hope it's still as beautiful or even more that then. After driving for about 3-4 hours (we kind of got lost and made some stops), we finally got the the place. My first impression as we approached the key (yes, it's a little island and you have to take a boat to get there) was of some sort of paradise. It was definetely too good to be true. That was definitely the best beach I have ever gone to in my whole life. Take it that Playa Grande, Sosua and Caleton are awesome. But this one takes all the credits. The only drawback is that you have to leave by sunset. There was a hotel in the island but it was "out of order". I hope it is operational now. It would be radically awesome to stay overnight in such a beautiful place. Remember it's very important to bring your own food because resources may be limited. All in all, I definitely recomment this place for like a-day-at-the-beach kind of thing others, it's up to you.

Las Terranas & Playa Rincon
... reached by boat that automobile, but the winding road through small villages was not a bad one and the final approach from the hills to the beach did provide the sensation of arriving at a remote tropical paradise.
Playa Rincon is palm-fringed with very white sand and two crescent shaped beaches on either side of a small headland, one with the rough surf of the open Atlantic, the other the tranquil waters of a sheltered bay. The water ...
Samana Peninsula - Tropical Beach Paradise
... more-or-less penis-shaped
landform that just about 50 miles eastward into the Caribbean from the
Dominican Republic's northeastern coast. Samana is a popular tourist
destination but different from the southeast in the sense of having more
smaller boutique hotels in several small towns that attract a mellower crowd of
mostly French and Italian independent travelers rather than large all-inclusive
I found a private room in a hostel in Samana ...
Well yesterday (Saturday) was a funny old day. We were meant to be going on a trip to the national park but Simon had poo problems during the night and he wasn't feeling well so we decided to postpone it until Wednesday. We didn't do that much during the day as I didn't like to leave Simon on his own but by the evening he was starting to feel better so we ordered some room service. Under our door they posted a warning about Tropical Storm Bertha which ...
Rum & Rifles in Playa Limon
... at the unlit corner of two dirt roads. With no cell phone to call, I was wondering where all the motoconchos went (motor bike taxis) and debating how I thought I should tackle the two miles to the hotel I reserved, Rancho La Cueva, when a tall, John-Goodman-sized man stumbled past me. He didn't even see me so I called out to him to ask if there was a motoconcho or any kind of taxi to get me to the hotel. He advised me, in between a string ...
Samana, Dominican Republic
... no crime" except for some drunken fights. The evidence suggested otherwise. Those homes and businesses with windows were all covered with metal bars. Businesses were surrounded by fences and razor wire. Both of these are very typical of these islands.
We drove by some kids in uniform walking to school. One waved at us with both hands, then was kind enough to turn them around and give us a double middle finger. I have to admit I had to laugh!
