Skip to comments.Fired Walmart worker finds global support
Posted on 07/07/2012 10:31:17 AM PDT by JoeProBono
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.- A 73-year-old woman who was fired from a Walmart store after decades as a greeter said she was amazed at the outpouring of support she received from strangers.
Jan Sullivan, who worked for Walmart for nearly 23 years, most recently at the Tyrone Boulevard location in St. Petersburg, said she was shocked when a Sunday story in the Tampa Bay (Fla.) Times about her firing resulted in hundreds of responses, including offers of money and housing, the Tampa Bay Times reported Friday.
"I'm overwhelmed," she said. "I didn't think people could care that much, you know?"
Sullivan was fired three days after grabbing the sweater of an angry Black Friday shopper who attempted to shove her out of the way and exit through an entrance door.
"Based on the information we have, the situation led to a bad experience for our customer and it could have been avoided. We had to make a tough decision -- one that we don't take lightly," Walmart spokeswoman Ashley Hardie said. "We understand this is a difficult situation, and we're glad Ms. Sullivan will be able to move forward. We wish her the best."
Sullivan said her "misconduct" firing made her ineligible for unemployment and she was forced to sell her home and move into a trailer when she was unable to find a new job.
Amy Wetherbee, a former neighbor of Sullivan's who is helping her sort through the offers of support, said the response to her story has dramatically improved the senior citizen's mood.
"Walmart was like my home," she says. "Like my family."
And it wasn't a bad experience for the 73 year old who was shoved aside by the customer? She probably grabbed the shover's sweater to keep her balance so she wouldn't be knocked over. The customer should have been charged with assault. The charging bull gets away, and the poor old lady trying to protect herself from injury gets punished.
Yes, my racism IS showing
Got to go Walmots credit, they know whose arse to kiss, the shoplifting holders people spending our money like its free.
"Based on the information we have, the situation led to a bad experience for our customer and it could have been avoided. "
I thought about this that why would it be a bad experience for this shopper when the shopper was the one who acted like an ass, shoving everyone to exit thru the entrance door? I hope this shopper falls head first into a vat of dog poo.
Hello? Governor Scott?
Boo hoo, these sob stories on these oppressed Walmart workers are propaganda. If they wanted more leverage, they should have done something of themselves to NOT be Walmart workers.
It is like expecting to be your own boss while being a freaking greeter at the cheapest cost leader in the universe!
Well, I guess what they are saying is that if it's a dispute between the customer and their employee, they take the view that "The customer is always right."
In truth, though, I bet that the main reason they did it is that they did not want to get sued.
That's just plain 'ol bullsh*t, Ashley...pure and simple.
Let me guess, ..., UPI will next suggest, if Walmart was union, she wouldn't have been fired.
since when do Wal-mart stores have dedicated (and enforced) entrance and exit doors?
I too am a victim. Please send money.
I know some Wal-Mart greeters. Some were fired for no reason. You wouldn't be so glib if it were you.
The Walmart near me no longer has greeters, aka, the people who put little tags on returns when you walk in. I thought it was a cost saving measure due to the economy to no longer have the greeters.
As WALMART GREETERS GO SO DOES WALMART -Ozymandias
We still have greeters but their mission has changed. They've pulled back from the door but still farther back in the entrance. They rarely greet anymore (Sam would have a fit). They don't really to seem to have much purpose.
You are one nasty piece of work. This was an elderly woman who needed a job and long beyond retirement age was working. Most people aren't bosses or professionals. I have no idea why she was working at Walmart, and either do you. It so easy to trash someone especially when you have no idea what all the facts are.

What next, cannot fire poor old ladies mandate?
When she allegedly assaulted their paying customers, Walmart's source of revenue was at risk. And, I am just being realistic when I say that a greeter position at Walmart is not the most value added. It was a PR stunt. When the cost (yes, she was a cost) became a potential LIABILITY, the firing was warranted.
What do you expect the businesses to do? Not fire their least valuable employees, especially when they become potential liability? Sorry, I am not the armchair treasurer of a fairy-feel-good world.

Egosoft GmbH is a video game developer founded in 1988 and based in Würselen, Aachen, Germany. It became a commercial company in 1990. Its first products were for the Amiga, but it later became a PC game developer.[1]
Egosoft is best known for its X game series,[2] a series of space simulator games noted for combining open-ended gameplay, dynamic market-driven economy and compelling storyline.[3][4] The series began in 1999 with X: Beyond the Frontier. Since then, the series has expanded with two sequels and three standalone expansions; the latest being X Rebirth in 2013.
Egosoft has released the following products:
- Hotel Detective (1988) for the Amiga, published by Euroline software.
- Fatal Heritage (1990) for the Amiga, published by FunSoft and Softgold.
- UGH (1992) for the Amiga, Published by Playbyte and Bluebyte.
- Flies Attack on Earth (1993) for Amiga and PC (MS-DOS).
- Imperium Romanum (1996) for MS-DOS.
- X Series
- X: Beyond the Frontier (1999) for Windows.
- X-Tension (2000) for Windows - X: Beyond the Frontier expansion pack.
- X2: The Threat (2003) for Windows and Linux (2006).
- X3: Reunion (2005) for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (2008).
- X3: Terran Conflict (2008)
- X3: Albion Prelude (2011)
- X Rebirth (2013) for Windows (later for Mac OS X and Linux)
- X: Beyond the Frontier (1999) for Windows.
The Linux version of X2 Series was developed by Linux Game Publishing. Mac OS X versions were developed by Virtual Programming. Ltd. Linux and Mac OS X versions of X3 were developed by Egosoft themselves, as is planned for Rebirth.
Several of the X series have been released multiple times in special bundle packs or when a major update to the game was released. Notable releases include:
- X-Gold (2000), which features X: Beyond the Frontier and X-Tension
- X3-Gold (2009), which features X3: Reunion 2.5 and X3: Terran Conflict 2.0
- X-Superbox (2010), first featuring all 5 X-Series games, and also featuring Albion prelude for free download on Steam when registered.
- The Humble Weekly Bundle (2013), featuring Steam keys for all existing X-Series games for all platforms plus the soundtracks and bonus content.
Future releases[edit]
In 2000, Egosoft planned a multiplayer online game called Online Universe or X Online. This project was intended to be "the next step in the evolution of Egosoft's X universe."[5] Egosoft has since released a number of games, yet has given little indication of the progress of this project. In 2003 Egosoft staff were working on a later version - codenamed X2OL - which Egosoft Director Bernd Lehahn described as "our long-term goal."[6][7] There is still no official information on the Online Universe, though there has been speculation that X2 and X3's 2007 uplink feature may be a positive spin-off of the project.[8]
In Q4 of 2009 Egosoft announced that Terran Conflict completed the story started in X: Beyond the Frontier, taken by some to mean the end of the franchise. However, in March 2011 they announced on their X-Universe forums that they would be attending FedCon XX in Düsseldorf on 28 April 2011, and would show preview footage of their current project,[9] previously only referred to by the codename TNBT (The Next Big Thing). However, on 20 April 2011, they released a trailer officially announcing X Rebirth, initially slated for a Q4 2011 release. X Rebirth will take place in the X Universe after a major catastrophe (the shutdown of the series' network of, thus starting a new chapter in the X Universe separate from the original plot line. Rebirth missed its first two proposed release dates (Q4 2011 and 2012) and was eventually released 15 November 2013.[10]
On 7 December 2011, they announced X3: Albion Prelude and revealed a trailer, after stating on the previous day that "There will be something you might not have seen coming. More info soon ;)". Albion Prelude was released on 15 December, only a week after the announcement. It bridged the plot gap between the older X games and the upcoming Rebirth, featuring a storyline only hinted at in the X Encyclopedia. Albion Prelude was scheduled for boxed release at some point early in 2012, and will be available free on Steam for those who register the X Superbox, or purchasable including paired with X3: Terran Conflict.
Egosoft runs a Developer Network - DevNet - which members may be able to join. It provides an opportunity to test new software and create the scripts for it. Submitting personal information to Egosoft is enough for mere testing, however, access to pages of the higher level requires signing a non-disclosure agreement.

I guess this is the puzzle.
@maacos: Someone said not to quote the original puzzle, this seems to break it...
Easy puzzle!
more easy puzzles!
2easy including the system bug
People gotta stop ruining the puzzle.
Q.sac was a bit apparent. Good job
boring ....
Puzzle is broken....I don't understand why can't you fix this problem?
Can daily puzzle figure out what causes that "double-unworkable presentation" problem in the posting of the puzzle - and fix or avoid it in the future?
Fortunately, today's Sunday puzzle is clear and easy enough that we don't need to go through it on the presented puzzle board to know the solution.
Quite a nice queen sacrifice for a Sunday. But once again I could not play the puzzle out by 'dragging the pieces' because there were two puzzles, one on top of the other. Apparently this is due to a rogue post, which is very unhelpful of the person, and if he knows what he is doing, is very unkind. chess.com can surely compat this, and should do so!
thanks cailleach! :)
Strong poverty website, keep uploading broken puzzles and never bother fixing them.
Lots of grumbling today but has anybody thought to report this problem to Help & Support ? Because after posting the puzzle, I don't think they ever look at it again, so how would they know ?
The Help & Support contact button is at the bottom of each page.
easy like Sunday morning..................ah, ah, ah, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Nice, simple mate in 2 puzzle =)
There were many diagrams on the puzzle again. :D

Our Twitter friends are rather excited about the return of Miss Saigon!
@theatre_direct I love Miss Saigon; it's just a shame it's coming back the year I go to university. All the more reason to aim for a London uni
@theatre_direct that's just made my bday thank you x
@theatre_direct yes :-):-):-) i have to have a ticket
@theatre_direct Oh my...there are no words to explain my excitement - but I will try... "Why God Why" was it not done before !#cantwait
@theatre_direct I have no memories as never seen it but its a show i'd be interested in seeing, would love @Gareth_Gates to play Chris. x
@theatre_direct I'm so overwhelmed at miss saigons return, I've seen it 10 times n love it so much.. John barrow man for Chris please..👏
@theatre_direct I was THE first ever drama student to do two weeks work experience backstage at the TH Royal DL when MS was on. March 1992.x
Rachel Harding @go_placidly
thoughts on Miss Saigon? It's hard to know where to start!
I first saw Miss Saigon in the week it finished it's West End run - talk about bad timing! It had been a birthday gift, and cemented my love.of musical theatre, and Miss Saigon in particular, with a soundtrack I still listen to on a regular basis now, and know far too many words to! A couple of years later I returned from my gap year traveling (and thus very out of the musical loop!) to surprise tickets to see a touring production at Birmingham, which began a tradition of watching it whenever - and wherever - I could, depending on where it was touring and where I was a) living b) had friends i could use an excuse to visit or c) a town I had never been to before. I have never got bored of it, as every production is different and the actors I have seen have always brought something different to the roles. My most recent was a venture to see a schools production of it, a joke I made on twitter about getting my Miss Saigon fix became a jaunt to the wilds of Stoke, which I was convinced would go.down in family history as "remember that time Rachel dragged us to see that terrible production..." - but I was blown away by how good it was, and served merely to reignite my love for the story and keep the songs circulating in my head for a while longer.
If the rumours are true, and Saigon does come back in 2014 it will be perfectly timed for my 30th...and I can drag my friends back to where it all began, too many years and too many performances ago!
@JordanLukeGage Jordan Luke Gage
I am over the moon at the news of miss Saigon opening in London again. When it originally played at the theatre royal I was too young to appreciate it; being under the age of six, so never had the chance to see it. However since then I have been a huge fan of the show, (watched the making of miss Saigon about a hundred times) listened to the soundtrack on repeat and am thrilled that the younger generation will have a chance to witness the beauty of Boubil and Schonberg's harrowing piece of theatre.

Cleveland – Spring time can bring storms, floods and inclement weather of all kinds. It can also bring unseasonably warm weather that leads to an early start to the construction season or gives farmers a jump on this year's crops. Be ready for whatever the weather brings by taking advantage of Lincoln Electric's amazing deal on a Ranger® 250 GXT engine-driven welder/generator. The Ranger 250 GXT provides extra multi-process welding performance, extra AC generator power and now extra savings for outdoor welding projects for farm, construction and general fabrication.
Cleveland – Lincoln Electric recently hosted some of the most prominent metal fabricators in the racing industry during the annual Advanced Motorsports Welding Seminar at its Cleveland world headquarters. Welding experts shared the latest advancements in materials and welding procedures in motorsports during the conference on Dec. 1-2.
Cleveland – Lincoln Electric introduces a mobile application designed to be a practical and time-saving tool for users to tap into the company's welding resources. Created to provide a seamless user experience, the Lincoln Library® mobile application will provide welders of all skill levels with the most current welding and cutting information.
"Our first foray into mobile application development will mark a dramatic shift in how our customers will interact with the Lincoln Electric brand," said Craig Coffey, U.S. Marketing Manager. "With the release of our new mobile application, we are implementing innovative technology and making it easier for users of Lincoln Electric equipment and consumables to gain access to our more than 118 years of welding expertise."
Lincoln Library is available for through the Apple iTunes® App Store and is compatible with the Apple iPad® and iPad® Mini (Apple iOS Version 6.0 and up).
Charlotte, N.C. – Team-owner and driver Robby Gordon launches his Stadium SUPER Trucks (SST) Series at the University of Phoenix Stadium on April 6. All trucks featured in the series are being built in Gordon's shop using equipment from his longtime NASCAR and Off-Road partner, Lincoln Electric.
The SST series will kick off the NBC-televised season in April with a minimum of 12 events scheduled throughout the United States and potential international events. The SST vehicles are highly-modified trucks that are powered by 600-hp V-8 engines and racing on DOT-approved tires.
Cleveland – Thanks to Lincoln Electric, female welders can stop rolling up the sleeves of their baggy men's welding jackets and put away the giant gloves that are made for larger hands. The Jessi Combs line of welding gear is Lincoln Electric's latest fusion of style and safety, offering welding apparel tailored – and sized – specifically for women.
Combs, a popular television personality and fabricator, is the perfect choice to work with the company to introduce the new line of female personal protection apparel. A skilled welder, she has appeared on such shows as Discovery Channel's Mythbusters and Overhaulin'. She currently co-hosts All Girls Garage and the new Overhaulin' on the Velocity Channel.
Cleveland – Lincoln Electric has extended its successful Money Matters promotion, offering customers their choice of a rebate or free accessories when they purchase one of the company's six popular welding machines for common welding or cutting applications. Depending on the qualified product selected, customers can choose to receive a cash rebate of up to $200 or free additional product with a value of more than $800.
The Money Matters Program includes:
POWER MIG 140C MIG Welder – $75 rebate OR a VIKING™ auto-darkening helmet ($181 value)
POWER MIG 180C MIG Welder – $75 rebate OR a VIKING™ auto-darkening helmet ($181 value)
Lincoln Electric recently announced they will be participating in the Open Pit Program put together by Ruffstuff Specialties/FOA Suspension to support racers and spectators alike for the King Of The Hammers (KOH) series of events happening in early February in Johnson Valley, CA.
Mickey Holmes, Lincoln Electric's Manager of Sports Marketing stated: We have been looking long and hard at Off Road events and we think this is the right time to commit! We could not have a better partner than Ruffstuff Specialties and FOA Suspension with their experience at providing this type of service. The Welding and Plasma Cutting equipment we are providing will be the best on the lakebed and racers and spectators alike will also have 9 days to test new equipment in one of the most desolate environments on earth!
Lincoln Electric will be joining an experienced cadre of Rock Crawling/Desert Racing companies already involved such as Solid Axle, Jrat Offroad, Torq Axle, Power Tank, Rugged Radios, Baja Designs, Team Tube, Giant Motorsports, and Branik Motorsports in the Open Pit.
Ruffstuff Owner Dan Fredrickson stated, "With the addition of Lincoln Electric we can provide the type of on the spot service we need at the main and remote pits, large, truck mounted welders that can perform a repair you can be certain of its integrity. He went on to say that this is a unique motorsport, the majority of Rock Crawlers build their own vehicles and are welders themselves and with 230 racers and 20,000 spectators in Johnson Valley for the week it is the place to be if you are a welding manufacturer. Where else could you find 15,000+ welders in one place, not at a NASCAR race!"
All services are Free in the Open Pit Format Developed by Dan and Chris(FOA) and cover everything from shock tuning to major welding repairs. They also have the resources to repair just about anything else that might break or need adjustment. They will be available 24/7 for 9 days starting Thursday the 2nd. There are no restrictions to this service, anyone that asks will be assisted.
Capitalizing on a 10-year relationship with Lincoln Electric, Robby Gordon Motorsports has embraced the new addition to the Lincoln family and welcomed Torchmate CNC Cutting Systems onto Planet Robby. Gordon, who has acquired the Torchmate Racing built TTB car for the upcoming Griffin King of the Hammers event, will begin testing the rebadged Speed Energy #77 car this week and he has tasked rock crawling champion and former Pirate4x4.com owner, Lance Clifford, to navigate. "Although I have not yet met Lance, he has come highly recommended and is a welcome addition to our team. We put a lot of value in having the right people to help us succeed," said Gordon. Clifford, who has worked during KOH the last 4 years providing live web based coverage, is looking forward to racing. "I was just planning on enjoying the event with my family, but when the best off-road driver in the world calls you up and asks you to navigate you don't think twice about accepting."
The new relationship will put Torchmate CNC cutting systems to work in both Robby Gordon Motorsports North Carolina and Southern California facilities, and will see Torchmate as an associate sponsor of Gordon's new venture into Ultra4 racing as well as his current SCORE Trophy Truck and Dakar off-road programs. "We're excited to work with Robby Gordon and it's a perfect fit with Torchmate philosophy on racing and business," said Bill Kunz, general manager of Torchmate. "The same Torchmate machines the general public can purchase will be put to good use at the hands of Robby Gordon Motorsports," Kunz added.
Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: LECO) announced today that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of Applied Robotics, Inc., a leading manufacturer of CNC cutting tables and accessories in North America. Applied Robotics, known in the welding industry by its brand name, Torchmate, has headquarters and manufacturing facilities based in Reno, Nevada.
Torchmate (www.torchmate.com) offers a wide selection of CNC plasma and oxyfuel cutting tables and systems to small and medium- sized fabricators. The company's trailing twelve months of sales are approximately $13 million, and Torchmate currently employs 44 people. Terms were not disclosed.

Stropki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Torchmate's CNC plasma cutting tables provide an economic option to cutting solutions required by many metal fabricators. The Torchmate product offering will enhance existing cutting options for Lincoln Electric's customers here in North America and around the world."

This weekend an Israeli commission charged with investigating the events surrounding the controversial Gaza aid flotilla of May 2010 makes its report public.
Not surprisingly, the Turkel commission will say (according to the Hebrew press) that the Israeli military acted in self-defense and did not violate international law when it boarded the Mavi Marmara aid ship. Israeli commandoes killed nine Turkish citizens on the ship, including one who held dual U.S.-Turkish citizenship.
A critical question is how the commission report will affect the prospects for Israel to repair the severe breach in Israeli-Turkish relations caused by the killings.
Turkey is a rising regional and global power and once was Israel's closest Muslim ally. Israel needs a decent relationship with Turkey, even if Jerusalem can't restore the warm ties the two countries once enjoyed.

2005 Silver Oak Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Producer: Silver Oak Cellars
Style: Red Wine
Grape Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Origin: California
Region: Napa
89 Points | Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine
91(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2009
(($100) Good deep red-ruby. Musky aromas of cassis, licorice, game, tobacco leaf and subtle brown spices. Velvety-sweet and deep, with hints of tobacco leaf, mint and herbs giving definition to the middle palate. Nicely bright but youthfully tight wine, finishing with broad tannins. Carrying a moderate 13.5% alcohol. Still tight, but then this won't be released until next winter. Incidentally, following Silver Oak's purchase of a vineyard in Soda Canyon in 1999, this wine now relies less on contract fruit.

Yingluck cleared to leave kingdom: NCPO spokesman
The National Council for Peace and Order has approved former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra's request to leave the kingdom on Sunday for a 20-day trip to Europe, NCPO deputy spokesman Col Winthai Suvari said Thursday.
Winthai said the NCPO saw that Yingluck had never acted in a way that violated or defied the conditions and orders of the NCPO so the NCPO's working committee in charge of considering the request had given her a green light to travel to Europe.

This keyboard is an okay product. The LED is okay but some of the the keys are about 75% lit. Even though they say there are thumb grooves, well there is not. Also, the non slip palm rest is just plastic with grooves. Your palm will still slip. Overall it performs great.

Banks in Kurdistan & Iraq
Banks in Kurdistan & Iraq
List of State/Public Banks in Iraq and Kurdistan -
often done through other banks in the region,
such as more reliable sister bank in Jordan or the
United Arab Emirates."
Many Iraqis lack access to a bank account - an
estimated 80% vs. 50% in Morocco, a country with
relatively low banking penetration rate. The
public's trust in the Iraqi banking sector remains
low due to many banks closing without a deposit
The most important banks are not private but
state-owned like the giant Rasheed and Rafidain
banks, which account for the vast majority of
banking business in Iraq. There has also been a
surge in the numbers of financial and investment
firms, with around 40 such licenses issued to date.
"Iraq currently has around one local banking branch
for every 60,000 people. Compared to other countries
in the region, this is very low: for example, the
average in Saudi Arabia is around one branch for
every 3,500 citizens," adds Mr. Zulal.
Thus, Iraqi market is largely under-banked -
offering great investment opportunities. The growth
rates of 200% in a single year are not uncommon, for
example, North Bank recorded deposit growth of 45
percent in the first half of 2012 to reach ID917
billion, attracting customers with a deposit rate of
7 percent. This encouraged the bank to increase
loans by 27 percent in the first six months of this
Policy-wise, the CBI has implemented in recent years
two prudential supervision policies: (1) requiring
all private sector banks to meet arbitrary capital
targets (- the government believes that there is a
need for a consolidation and sees 10 strong private
banks to emerge, making at least 13 takeover
targets), and (2) imposing an impossibly burdensome
anti-money laundering (AML) regime.
While capital adequacy is normally measured as a
ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets, the CBI
has instead imposed absolute levels of capital (IQD
150 billion by the middle of 2012, IQD 250 billion
by the middle of 2013) regardless of the size of the
banks' loan books.
"Given that most of the banks have more cash than
loans, there is really no justification for this on
prudential grounds. The policy is rather an attempt
to force the banks to lend more and to coerce the
smaller banks into merging with one another. It is,
in other words, an attempt to replace market forces
with central planning," argues Mark DeWeaver, the
principal at Quantrarian Capital Management.
Furthermore, Mr. DeWeaver believes that the biggest
challenge to the banking sector is not the lack of
IFRS reporting standards, but rather "the real issue
with the banks is not how they're reporting but what
they're really doing. And a lot of what they're
really doing involves related party transactions, in
which the majority shareholder family is using bank
funds for projects of its own. An interesting
example of this is that majority shareholders
apparently sometimes will get a line of credit from
their own bank to subscribe to the bank's rights
issues. In other words, when their bank has a rights
they'll take up the rights on the shares that
they're holding by borrowing money from their own
bank to pay for them. That means that the capital
base of the banks is not quite what it seems. If
those majority shareholders don't pay back these
loans, the new capital disappears. As long as
everything's going fine for the majority shareholder
family, such capital is real capital I suppose but
it is very contingent on the majority shareholder's
ability to repay the bank."
According to the World Bank statement, "as of end
2010, total assets of the system amounted to ID 329
trillion–ID 285 trillion (87 percent) and ID 13
trillion (4 percent), belonging to Rafidain Bank and
Rasheed Bank respectively. Official figures indicate
that private bank assets only amounted to 3 percent
of total assets, but this understates the real
picture. Total assets according to official figures
are very large in relation to GDP when compared with
the average for MENA countries (318 percent of GDP
compared to 130 percent for the MENA average)
however, as explained below, official numbers
significantly overstate the real picture.
The comparison between state-owned and private banks
is significantly skewed because the two large
state-owned banks' balance sheets are inflated by
public sector assets and liabilities accumulated
under the previous regime, which have not yet been
fully cleaned up (see below). Out of total assets of
ID 302 trillion for Rafidain Bank at end 2010, ID
257 trillion reflected valuation losses from
previous periods. Once the financial restructuring
of the state-owned banks has been completed, the
balance sheet of the state-owned banks could be
reduced by as much as ID 259 trillion.
Thus assets of the state-owned banks could amount to
as little as ID 60 trillion, nevertheless still
dwarfing the ID 10 trillion for the private banks
Rafidain Bank is the largest bank in Iraq and
Rasheed Bank is the third largest; together they
account for 62 percent of Staff adjusted bank assets
(but more than 90 percent of bank assets, according
to official figures). They also have the only
nationwide branch systems (165 for Rafidain Bank and
137 for Rasheed Bank. Depositors believe Rafidain
Bank and Rasheed Bank carry an implicit Government
guarantee, which gives them an advantage in deposit
mobilization. They are also recipient of Government
deposits. These advantages are to some extent
balanced by non-remunerated treasury functions on
behalf of the Government."
List of Top State/Public
Banks in Iraq and Kurdistan
Rafidain Bank (Baghdad)
According to the World Bank, Rafidain Bank was
established as a private bank in 1941 but was
nationalized in the 1960s. Rasheed Bank was
established in 1988 by carving out non-performing
assets from Rafidain Bank. Both banks suffered
losses during the two Gulf wars and economic
sanctions, including looting and physical damage to
branches. Both banks have been performing
quasi-fiscal activities including certain treasury
functions without fees, directed lending, and
foreign borrowing on behalf of the Government. The
latter led to very large foreign exchange valuation
losses because of the sharp depreciation of the
Dinar following the second Gulf war. Past losses on
account of war and valuation changes are still
carried on the books of the banks, and assets are
accordingly highly inflated (revaluation losses were
equivalent to 185 perent of GDP in 2009).
Assets: US$ 20,3 billion (2010
Trade Bank of Iraq (Baghdad)
Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI), wholly owned by the
Government of Iraq, was established in July 2003 to
facilitate Iraq's international trade and the
reconstruction of the country after the expiration
of the UN Oil-For-Food Programme.
The bank quickly developed into a highly credible
and effective organization. In a short period of
time, TBI built relationships with an international
network of 134 prime banks - the Consortium banks
being at its core - covering 63 cities in 39
countries. This gave TBI a truly global reach, a
competitive advantage and the ability to provide a
diverse range of services.
Assets: US$ 14,3 billion (2010)
Rasheed Bank (Baghdad)
Rasheed Bank was established in accordance with law
(no.52/1988). It became a public company in
accordance with law of public companies (No.22/1977)
on Dec 4, 2001. Its capital reached ID 2 billion.
The Bank has 138 branches; 61 branches are in
Baghdad and 77 branches are outside Baghdad. The
General Administration includes within its
formations 13 divisions and 56 departments.
Assets: US$ 7,3 billion (2010)

There are 12 foreign banks present in Iraqi banking

According to the FT, "to date, no Western bank has
opened a branch in Iraq, even in Kurdistan, whose
scenery and stability has made it an emerging
tourist destination for foreigners. Instead, the
London-based HSBC, one of the world's largest
financial institutions, owns a 70 percent share in
Dar Es Salam, a private Iraqi investment bank.
Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain own large shares
in Iraqi banks."
"For the time being Western banks seem content to
enter Iraq indirectly, via equity stakes in local
Iraqi private banks or through a consortium with the
state-owned Trade Bank of Iraq," says Geoffrey Batt,
a New York-based fund manager who has been doing
business in Iraq since 2008.

With regular gas prices topping $3.70 last weekend, angry politicians are blaming the higher prices on speculators and greedy oil companies. On Monday, The Hill newspaper reported that 23 senators and 45 congressmen, all Democrats except for one independent, called for urgent action against the "speculators" they hold responsible. Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania demanded, "Consumers shouldn't be forced to pay higher prices at the pump because of speculative bets on Wall Street."

Association Explains 1035 Exchanges For Long Term Care Insurance Purchase
New information published by the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance explains how 1035 exchanges from life insurance can pay for long term care insurance protection.
"A 1035 exchange defers the internal build up of gains associated with the life insurance or annuity policies that would be taxable events," explains Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. "Using a 1035 exchange to purchase long term care insurance protection effectively ensures that the taxable gain disappears entirely." While the Association does not offer tax or legal advice the organization has published information to help educate more consumers about the tax advantaged planning technique.
"Individuals with an existing life insurance or annuity policy with a gain may wish to look into the advantages of a 1035 exchange," Slome explains. "Actually, a partial 1035 exchange is more common today," the leading long term care insurance
"Because not all insurance companies accept 1035 exchanges and because insurance policies can vary significantly from one insurance company to another, we strongly suggest consumers work with a knowledgeable professional,"
Under the new rules individuals can complete a "like-kind" exchange from an insurance or annuity policy directly to a qualified long-term care insurance policy. The new law stipulates that the long term care insurance policy must be a "tax qualified" policy as defined under IRC Section 7702B. "Today, the vast majority of policies meet these criteria," Slome adds. The rules also stipulate that the annuity policy must be non-qualified annuity. These are generally defined as annuities purchased with after-tax funds.
Established in 1998 as a non-profit trade group, the Los Angeles, California-based American Association for Long Term Care Insurance advocates for the importance of planning for long term care and supports insurance and financial professionals who market LTC insurance.

For Sale: Heritage HFT 445 Acoustic Guitar
Price: $799, paypal gift assumed
It's a rare ASB finish. With an F serial, it's about 25 years old so it has some wear, dings and blemishes. A prior owner was clearly a smoker. Nonetheless, the structural integrity is uncompromised (no cracks, no splits, no rattles) and it plays wonderfully. She matured and mellowed wonderfully in the past 25 years and is sincerely a delight to play; I Plek'ed all my Heritages except for this one because I didn't think it was necessary. Action is low and bridge is set low; rugged, almost always in tune. Pickguard is in the case (TKL, non-original).
Trades considered: Martin or Larrivee 0, 00, 000 size solid acoustics.
