U.S. Retail Sales Fall Short
U.S. retail sales fell short of predictions after netting out gas price increases, according to data released by MasterCard. Total U.S. retail sales were up 3.6% from a year ago for the holiday season, which begins the day after Thanksgiving and ends midnight Dec. 24, but just 2.4% net of gas prices. Forecasts were for a retail sales gain of 3.5% to 4.5%. Internet retailers were a standout with a 22.4% gain. Luxury retailers, not including jewelry, saw sales rise 7.1%. But they fell 1.9% including jewelry, which retailers said sold poorly (see: Online Sales Grow, But Luxury Items Suffer). Women's clothing sales fell 2.4%, while menswear sales were increased 2.3%. Electronics sales were up 2.7%, but that includes appliances whose weak sales likely dragged down surging sales of game consoles and software, DVDs and flat-panel TVs. MasterCard's Michael McNamara says post-holiday sales, which have grown steadily in recent years, will likely be strong due to promotions and gift-card redemptions. "This last week of December, I wouldn't be surprised if we see upwards of $60 billion spent," he said. "There's still some work to be done on the retail front here." Retail ETFs Consumer Discretionary SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLY), Retail HOLDRS ETF (NYSEARCA:RTH) and ST SPDR RETAIL ETF (NYSEARCA:XRT), among others (see: Retail and Consumer Goods & Services ETFs) offer U.S. investors broad retail exposure.

Matsushita, Hitachi, Canon Forge Flat-Panel Alliance
Matsushita Electric (NYSE:MC), Hitachi (HIT) and Canon (NYSE:CAJ) announced Tuesday that they will combine their liquid crystal display businesses, the next in a series of collaborations in the flat-panel industry. Matsushita, which manufactures Panasonic-brand electronics, is the world's leading producer of plasma TVs. "Under this alliance, the three companies will merge their strengths to accelerate the development of cutting-edge display technologies and expand their scope of application," they said in a statement. The WSJ notes that the link-up will create a "third major force in the flat-panel industry" following the Sony (NYSE:SNE)-Samsung combination and the Sharp (OTCPK:SHCAY)-Toshiba (OTCPK:TOSBF) alliance announced a week ago. Hitachi will cut its position in loss-making subsidiary Hitachi Displays to just over 50%, with the remaining shares to be split equally between Matsushita and Canon. Canon said it might ultimately take a majority stake in the unit. Hitachi Displays produces small and mid-sized LCD panels that Canon will use for digital camera monitors. Matsushita will nearly double its stake in LCD manufacturer IPS Alpha Technology, a JV between the three companies and Toshiba, to over 50%. "Th[is] move will give Matsushita a foothold to expand in LCDs," said SBI E*Trade Securities analyst Hideyuki Suzuki. "There's been a concern with Matsushita because it's focusing on plasma screens at a time when LCD screens are overwhelmingly better." JPMorgan Chase estimates that global shipments of LCD TVs -- which are brighter and thinner than plasma TVs -- will rise 33% to 94.7 million units in 2008 while plasma set sales should rise 26% to 13.1 million units.
Wipro Readies $6.4-$7B Bid for Capgemini - Hindustan Times
India's number-three software exporter, Wipro (NYSE:WIT), will make a bid for France's Capgemini by the end of January in a deal that puts a $6.4 billion to $7 price tag on the company, the Hindustan Times reported Monday. Shares of Capgemini rose over 9% in Paris trading on the report. Investment advisors Citigroup (NYSE:C) and HSBC (HBC) have been frantically trying to finalize a plan for financing the deal before year-end. "Details about leveraged buyout financing and other options were discussed," a banker close to the deal said. Wipro's bid for Europe's number-one computer consultancy firm could come in at about €48/share, the Times said. Shares closed at €40.71 on Friday. "We would not want to comment on market speculation. Of course, we are interested in larger deals and aggressively looking for inorganic growth options," Sudip Nandy, chief strategic officer of Wipro, said. There have been rumors of a possible bid by Wipro, or by larger rival Infosys (NASDAQ:INFY), for months. Analysts say Capgemini would give Wipro a strong foothold in the consulting business. "Capgemini has a good presence in Europe and it would help Wipro to insulate itself from the weak dollar earnings," said one analyst. Another expressed concerns about integration. Paris-based Capgemini has units in North America, northern, central and southern Europe, and Asia Pacific, as well as India. It boasts 75,000 employees. A spokeswoman for Capgemini said Monday it has had no contact with Wipro. "For several weeks, there have been rumors that this or that Indian firm would want to bid for our company," she said in the name of a board member. "There are no talks going on of any kind with the Indian group being mentioned and we repeat our conviction that any hostile bid in the IT-sector is doomed to fail." Shares of Wipro gained 2.2% Monday.

NTT Docomo To Link Up With Google - Reports
NTT DoCoMo (NYSE:DCM), the biggest mobile phone carrier in Japan, plans to join with Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) to provide web-search and e-mail services on its handsets, according to reports in the Japanese press. Business daily The Nikkei reported Tuesday that by this spring, users will be able to access Google search, e-mail, scheduling and photo-saving features via DoCoMo's i-Mode Internet network. DoCoMo is also said to be weighing development of a next-generation handset using Google's free OS for mobile devices. The Nikkei did not identify its sources for the story, a similar version of which was published by the Kyodo News agency. DoCoMo spokeswoman Makiko Furuta said the company is looking at potential relationships with both domestic and foreign search service providers, but no alliances have been concluded as yet. DoCoMo is trying to stem the loss of young consumers to rivals KDDI Corp. and Softbank Mobile Corp., while Google hopes to better penetrate the Japanese search engine market, where it lags Yahoo Japan (NASDAQ:YHOO).
Merrill Sells Up To $6.2B Stake at Discount
Merrill Lynch (MER) announced Monday it would receive a cash infusion of up to $6.2 billion by selling new common stock to Temasek Holdings Ltd., an investment vehicle for the government of Singapore, and Davis Selected Advisors LP. Shares initially rose about 4%, but later fell into negative territory when it was disclosed the shares were being sold at a discount. Temasek will buy $4.4 billion worth of Merrill stock, with an option for $600 million more by the end of March. U.S. asset manager Davis Selected Advisers will buy another $1.2B. The firms will pay $48/share, a nearly 14% discount to Friday's close of $55.54. Shares fell 3% to $53.90. Merrill said the investors will not play a role in its governance. Analysts said that despite diluting existing shares, a cash infusion is a better choice than a weak balance sheet on the heels of mortgage-related losses. The infusion is likely a precursor to a large Q4 writedown that analysts say may outdo Merrill's Q3 writedown of $8.4 billion. Merrill had 855.4 million shares outstanding at the end of September; the current issue would bring that number to about 984 million, or about 15%. "It's very positive that Merrill Lynch is taking the steps that it needs to shore up its balance sheet," said Sean Egan of credit-rating firm Egan-Jones Ratings.
Singapore's investment is the latest in a growing number of sovereign wealth funds to take stakes in Wall Street firms. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) recently received $5 billion from China (Morgan Stanley Gets $5B Cash Infusion After Huge Q4 Loss); Citigroup (C) last month agreed to sell up to a 4.9% stake to Abu Dhabi for $7.5 billion (Citigroup Receives $7.5 Billion Capital Infusion from Abu Dhabi); and UBS (NYSE:UBS) recently took on a $9.75 billion investment from a different Singapore sovereign fund (UBS Raises $11.5 Billion; Writes Down Another $10B).

CME Down on Rival Exchange; Analysts Downplay Threat
Shares of CME Group (NASDAQ:CME) fell more than 3.5% in Monday trading after the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that a consortium including JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) and Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB) plans to launch a competitor the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in some of its most lucrative futures contracts (see: JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank to Open CME Rival - WSJ). In a note to clients this morning, Credit Suisse said it expects minimal impact to the CME from the rival exchange. Analysts noted history is littered with failed U.S. future trading venues, and that CME has deeply-entrenched liquidity pools and many other competitive advantages. "This is not the first threat against CME/CBOT," Citigroup analyst Donald Fandetti noted. "The exchanges have faced three competitive threats over the last decade including Eurex, BrokerTech and Cantor/eSpeed; all failed to take liquidity, though the most recent attack by Eurex led CBOT to 'sharply' lower trading fees." CBOT is now owned by CME. Citi noted rival contracts would not be 'fungible' (able to be cancelled out by an opposing contract on another exchange), and thus CME's superior liquidity pool "would naturally offer the better bid/ask spread." He concedes the move is a negative for CME, but "needs to be kept in perspective." In a larger sense, he notes, "The exchange sector may pull back a bit on the broader implications of this news."
Costco Says Holiday Sales "Pretty Good"
Holiday sales have been "pretty good," Costco (NASDAQ:COST) CFO Richard Galanti said Monday in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "Generally speaking, our season went well," he said. "We were left pretty clean in terms of seasonal markdowns." Big sellers included DVDs (specifically Discovery Channel's Planet Earth series), health-and-beauty gift packs and women's outerwear. The strength in women's apparel is in stark contrast to many industry reports of weak sales; MasterCard reported an overall 2.4% drop in women's clothing sales (see: U.S. Retail Sales Fall Short). Jewelry sales were weak, as has been the case industry wide (see: Online Sales Grow, But Luxury Items Suffer). Costco sells high-end merchandise to compliment its bulk items, unlike competitors Sam's Club (NYSE:WMT) and BJ's (NYSE:BJ). Analysts predicted Costco would lead the pack during the 2007 holiday season due to its appeal to higher-income customers who are less likely to cut back their spending.
Hollywood Media Rises 15% on Disclosure of Acquisition Discussions
Shares of online ticketing and movie info company Hollywood Media rose 15% Monday after the company filed a 13-D disclosing discussions that may lead to the acquisition of the company. According to the filing, Coghill Capital Management owns over 10% of Hollywood Media, and its principals:
"are engaged in discussions with management and representatives of the board of directors of the Issuer concerning various strategic alternatives, including a number of potential extraordinary transactions that could result in a change of control of the issuer, and intend to evaluate confidential information relating to the Issuer in connection therewith. For this purpose, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer have entered into a non-disclosure agreement (including certain related provisions). The Reporting Persons intend to continue these discussions and to closely evaluate the performance of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, the continued analysis and assessment of the Issuer's share price, business, assets, operations, financial condition, capital structure, management and prospects."
Hollywood Media owns Broadway.com, Hollywood.com and 26% of MovieTickets.com. The company earlier conducted a strategic review to better realize the value of its assets, but terminated the review with limited results to the disappointment of investors (summary). MovieTickets.com competitor Fandango was acquired by Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) in April 2007 (summary). In its most recent filings, Hollywood Media disclosed that it has over $34 million of cash on its balance sheet, equivalent to over $1 per share. The stock closed Tuesday in shortened trading at $2.84. HOLL was downgraded by Roth Capital November 16th, having closed the previous day at $2.97.
Full disclosure: Seeking Alpha founder David Jackson is long HOLL.
Berkshire Acquires 60% of Pritzkers' Marmon Holdings for $4.5B
Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) announced Tuesday it will purchase 60% of privately-held industrial conglomerate Marmon Holdings, Inc., for $4.5 billion. Berkshire will acquire the remainder of the company by 2014 at a price based on future earnings. Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire, reportedly needed only two weeks to reach a deal after being approached by Marmon. The transaction is expected to close in Q1-2008. The acquisition is Berkshire's largest since 2005 and its largest outside of the insurance industry.
Marmon is owned by trusts for Chicago's Pritzker family. It had operating income of $794M in 2006 on revenues of $7B. The company has been improving its profitability in recent years, as it continues to undergo a breaking up of its vast holdings in order to distribute proceeds to family members. The Marmon Group includes more than 125 manufacturing and services businesses. Marmon Chairman Tom Pritzker and CEO Frank Ptak will retain their positions during the acquisition period. The Pritzker family acquired Marmon in 1953. They still own a controlling stake in the Hyatt hotel chain and TransUnion, as well as a big stake in Royal Caribbean Cruises (NYSE:RCL). Berkshire Hathaway's A-shares gained 3% to $137,980 on Monday.

Toyota Raises Sales Forecast; Set To Topple GM
Toyota (NYSE:TM) said Tuesday it expects to sell 9.36 million vehicles in 2007, 6% more than in 2006. If it accomplishes this goal, it will unseat General Motors (NYSE:GM) as the world's leading auto manufacturer on an annualized basis, a position GM has held for 76 years. Toyota also raised its 2008 sales forecast to 9.85 million vehicles, a 5.2% increase over 2007. GM has not announced 2008 projections but forecasts it will sell almost 9.26 million vehicles this year. Toyota's growth is being driven by strong demand in emerging markets: the company expects to increase sales in Asia by 20% in 2008. The American market remains relatively stagnant, however, affected as it is by the subprime crisis and the housing downturn. GM sales and marketing head Mark LaNeve responded to Toyota's projections with equanimity. "We are most interested in turning our business around and delivering great value to our customers and shareholders," he said. "Leadership is important, and we continue to be the leader in 12 or 13 of the top 15 markets." Ashvin Chotai, auto analyst for Global Insight, sees an implicit danger in Toyota's strong projections. "We're getting to the stage where Toyota has grown so impressively in recent years that it's going to find the next stage of growth quite difficult" in the U.S., he said.
CN Rail Saves Critical Link to Alberta Oil Sands Region
Canadian National Railway Co. (NYSE:CNI) said Monday it will acquire the Athabasca Northern Railway [ANY] for $25 million, in order to preserve a critical rail link to the oil sands region of northern Alberta. It will also invest another $135M over the next three years in rail-line upgrades to improve transit times and service consistency, it said. The purchase and upgrades, CN said, are premised on long-term traffic volume guarantees it has negotiated with its shippers "CN is focused on the future. While ANY's current traffic volumes are too low to keep it going as a stand-alone operation, we and our shipper partners see the ANY playing a critical role in one of the world's largest construction projects – the oil sands reserves in northern Alberta are second only to Saudi Arabia's, and industry is expected to invest more than C$100 billion over the next decade in oil sands development, construction and infrastructure upgrading." Shares gained 1.6% to $47.74 in a shortened NYSE trading session.

Mitsubishi UFJ Economist Sees US$ Falling to ¥95
Bloomberg reports Kazuo Mizuno, chief economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, the brokerage arm of Japan's largest bank (Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (NYSE:MTU)), predicts the dollar may fall 20% against the yen to ¥95/$1 in 2008. In an interview Wednesday with Bloomberg, Mr. Mizuno explained his dollar bearishness based on "the adjustment in the U.S. housing market (having) just begun." He believes the housing market will bottom in three to four years, as corporate earnings erode and the Federal Reserve continues to cut rates, with consumption, employment and the dollar taking a pounding.
Mr. Mizuno's target of ¥95/$1 is one of the most pessimistic, especially compared to the median estimate of ¥110/$1 among 42 economists. Bloomberg says only Deutsche Bank, the world's largest currency trader, has as bearish a forecast. "Now is the beginning of the end to dollar standard system," commented Mr. Mizuno. The dollar has lost around 4% against the yen in 2007. Late in Tokyo the dollar was up a tenth of a percent against the yen at about ¥114.30/$1. The dollar last traded at ¥95 in Aug. 1995. CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (NYSEARCA:FXY) offers U.S. investors a play on yen strength. It lost 0.3% to $87.18 on Monday.

Jimenez: Edlin's Auction was a special place
A little bit of Corpus Christi history was erased when the old warehouse that used to house Edlin's Auction was demolished this week.
A little bit of family history disappeared with it, too; not just for our family but for a lot of young families who spent Saturday nights bidding money that they, like us, didn't have.
The building painted an undefined green hue in the 200 block of North Alameda Street was located in the area which the Good Samaritan Mission wants to use for the homeless. Somehow, it seems in keeping that a place devoted to finding undiscovered treasures should be used to help people reconstruct their lives.
The auction nights ended years ago when Edlin's closed its doors. But during its heyday Bob Edlin wielded the gavel over a swiftly moving line of antique wardrobes, bedroom suites, bed headboards, dining room sets, tables, dressers along with heirloom lamps, glassware, valet stands and just general stuff. Most of it was real wood antique, but some of it was just stuff that would sell, or Edlin thought would sell.
The night's buyers would start filing in before 7 p.m., buying popcorn and sandwiches, hot dogs and others roaming among the items would that go for auction that night. Maybe.
It was all unrehearsed and very much a family affair. The Edlin family made the sandwiches, served the hot dogs, moved around the auction items, spotted the bidders, spelled Edlin at the auctioneer's block, ticketed the sold items and cashed out the customers.
Old wooden theater seats, some of them showing their advanced age, provided the seating. Small children, unlike many other places now, were tolerated, many of them, like my own, roaming among the pieces, taking a look at the heirloom jewelry pieces and, if their parents bought them one, being the recipient of a rare coin to keep as a treasure.
Partly because Edlin's was a mostly cheap place to spend a Saturday night ? if you didn't lose your head in bidding ? and maybe because it was a special time in our lives ? we were young, our kids were small and we didn't have much money to spend ? Edlin's Auction was a special place to us.
Most Saturday nights we were just looking, entertained by Edlin's banter and the parade of buyers and items that came forth. Good thing that Bob Edlin depended on buyers from antique stores instead of buyers of popcorn and soft drinks. But some nights stuff came up we just couldn't resist and we had to bid. We went home with real finds ? wardrobes, night stands, glassware, chairs ? or we thought they were finds. Anyway, it was fun to think so.
Even then, Edlin's was in a marginal area. North Alameda Street at that point is mostly industrial, relieved only by an elementary school and a church. We would have thought it ludicrous at the time to think it had potential to become a growth area. But apparently some have thoughts it might be, spurred on by Eagle Ford boom money. Putting facilities for the homeless is anathema for that kind of development.
But then, when it comes to the homeless, they never match the furniture. They are humanity shed of all the niceties. Many have jobs but have fallen on hard times. Some never wanted jobs and now live by their wits. Many are veterans. Some are mentally unstable. Many have substance abuse problems. Some are nuisances. Others just try to live in the shadows, out of the view of society. If this was India, they would be dalit, the untouchables.
It's been suggested that the homeless and the facilities that care for them be moved out of the area. This is an area not far from City Hall and a new headquarters for the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority. This doesn't sound like an answer ? out of sight, out of mind ? but I don't know what the answer is.
Those Saturday nights at Edlin's helped us as a family, giving us memories and helped fill out our households. It was something we shared together. It's be nice to think that other families, other lives are finding their lost paths at the same place.

Monks gain support in fight over wind project
Historic preservationists say Mohawk Valley turbines would disrupt serenity of monastic life
By BRIAN NEARING, Staff writer
First published: Saturday, January 5, 2008
JORDANVILLE -- The sky above this rolling Mohawk Valley farmland is a battleground between golden onion-shaped domes of the nation's largest Russian Orthodox monastery and sweeping wind turbine towers intended to harvest clean power. On Friday, a statewide historic preservation group sided with Holy Trinity Monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, where monks fear a proposed wind farm a mile away will disturb contemplative religious life.
"The monastery is of extraordinary historic, religious and cultural significance, but it is currently threatened," said Jay DiLorenzo, President of the Preservation League of New York State. The group named the monastery as one of its seven historic sites statewide in need of protection.
If built, the Jordanville Wind Project, located about 85 miles west of Albany, could have as many as 49 wind turbines on private land that would generate enough power for up to 60,000 homes.
Last month, state Supreme Court Justice Donald Greenwood blocked the project because the towns of Stark and Warren issued approval permits without adequately considering potential environmental impacts.
Father Luke Murianka, deputy abbott for the monastery, in a press statement called the site "a place of immeasurable importance" for the church. A message left at the monastery seeking comment was not returned.
Russian-speaking monks, along with seminary students and lay workers, run a publishing house, an icon-painting studio, a library and a historical museum with pre-Russian Revolution artifacts.
Turning rotor blades will "cause the sunlight to flicker, and the hub of the turbine will make a high-pitched whine. At night, 24 blinking red lights will fill the sky facing the monastery, and the serenity that the monks and pilgrims have long sought will be gone, quite literally, with the wind," said Tania Werbizky, league regional director of Technical and Grant Programs for western New York.
Wind power advocates say opponents are overblowing the impact of windmills on the 80-year-old religious community.
Paul Copleman, a spokesman for project developer Iberdrola Renewable Energies USA & Community Energy, said six proposed wind turbines were voluntarily removed from the project.
After an 18-month state environmental quality review, the towns of Warren and Stark, Herkimer County and State of New York Public Service Commission approved the project without noting any potential impacts to the monastery, he said.
Brian Nearing can be reached at 454-5094 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
(and they're damn near as ugly as she is...)
18 months? How many public dollars were wasted in this review, I wonder? What on earth would take 18 months to figure out, when it appears that no one decided to talk to the monks about the project?
That being said - hello? You decide to build a monastery on your land, I decide to put wind turbines on mine. So what if they're ugly? Don't like it, ask me how much I'll sell my land for.
If it were a bunch of Mohammedans worshiping their devil-god, plotting jihad and converting the weak-minded among us, you can be sure that the local government would see to it that there'd be no windfarm in the area unless the rag heads wanted it. Orthodox Christian monks? Who cares about them? All Orthodox Christians are good for as far as the U.S. government is concerned is bombing practice for us and target practice for Bush & Clinton's Mohammedan buddies.
I'll take the peace of this monastery any day over the whirring turbines of a wind farm. They should grow their whirlimagigs over the ocean, not on land.
So they are demanding Serenity Now?
You know you're right. you see they go about it all wrong. in the catskills (probably 2 hours from Jordanville) there's a muslim extremist camp. No one goes near that place out of fear! These Christian monks are just naive; if they want peace they should scare the pants out of people by blowing up a bunch of people!(/sarc)
that or ski centers which aren't used half the year and aren't disrupted by wind anyway.
Wind farms are awful. They're not only ugly, they're noisy. We could generate all the power we need with a nice, clean nuclear plant that wouldn't bother anybody, but instead the environmental fruitcakes clamor for something that even they then decide is horrible and, actually, environmentally disruptive.
I think EVERYBODY should protest wind farms.

Not really.
My dumb neighbor puts his trash can out on Saturday for Monday pick-up. He says he doesn't want to forget.
What's this? Is Fred on garbage patrol?
Woodeye–I have a neighbor that does that also. By pick-up day there is garbage evrywhere if it's windy!
Bassets enjoy garbage patrol
I remember back in Michigan you weren't supposed to put your trash out til after 6:00 the night before garbage pick up but if we put it out a bit early no one rang our doorbell. But two days early is too soon.
It's not when the trash is put out, but what's put out with it that gets me.
As I write this, there is a weight bench sitting in the dumpster of the complex where I live.
( Yeah, like they'll really take THAT. )
there is one town near where i used to live that passed an ordinance that people had to have their trash containers away from the curb by 7 PM on the collection day or they got a $25 fine.
so what happens to those people who didn't get home from work until 8 or 9 o'clock ?
Or another strange dogs will tear them apart for foods.

—Reed K. Holden, founder and CEO, Holden Advisors, Corp., Associate Professor, Columbia University www.holdenadvisors.com
"We've known through Ron Baker's earlier books that he's not just an extraordinary thinker and truly brilliant writer—he's a mover and a shaker on a mission. This is the End of Time! Brilliant."
—Paul Dunn, Chairman, B1G1 www.b1g1.com
"Implementing Value Pricing is a powerful blend of theory, strategy, and tactics. Ron Baker's most recent offering is ambitious in scope, exploring topics that include economic theory, customer orientation, value identification, service positioning, and pricing strategy. He weaves all of them together seamlessly, and includes numerous examples to illustrate his primary points. I have applied the knowledge I've gained from his body of work, and the benefits to me—and to my customers—have been immediate, significant, and ongoing."
—Brent Uren, Principal, Valuation & Business Modeling, Ernst & Young www.ey.com
"Ron Baker is a revolutionary. He is on a radical crusade to align the interests of service providers with those of their customers by having lawyers, accountants, and consultants charge based on the value they provide, rather than the effort it takes. Implementing Value Pricing is a manifesto that establishes a clear case for the revolution. It provides detailed guidance that includes not only strategies and tactics, but key predictive indicators for success. It is richly illustrated by the successes of firms that have embraced value-based pricing to make their services not only more cost-effective for their customers, but more profitable as well. The hallmark of a manifesto is an unyielding sense of purpose and a call to action. Let the revolution begin."
—Robert G. Cross, Chairman and CEO, Revenue Analytics, Inc. Author, Revenue Management: Hard-Core Tactics for Market Domination www.revenueanalytics.com

Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.-14) issued the following statement after voting for, and the House passed, legislation to fund veterans and guard and reserve troops:
"Over several votes this week, a total of 57 Democrats have joined House Republicans in passing legislation to fund noncontroversial areas of the government. We have a large, bipartisan majority in the House that is acting responsibly to fund as much of the government as possible until we can resolve our few areas of disagreement. Today, we voted to provide funding for our veterans and our guard and reserve troops.
"Sadly, Harry Reid still refuses to pass these important funding bills, and he refuses to open negotiations. Senate Democrats must let go of their all-or-nothing position and work with House Republicans to pass a fair government funding bill."
Today the House passed the following funding bills:
H.J.Res. 72 – Honoring Our Promise to America's Veterans
H.R. 3230 – Pay Our Guard and Reserve

Blaster-B culprit confesses all
A 19-year-old has pleaded guilty in a US court to spreading the W32.Blaster-B worm over the internet.

Risk management
A 19-year-old has pleaded guilty in a US court to spreading the W32.Blaster-B worm over the internet.
Jeffrey Lee Parson, of Hopkins, Minnesota, admitted he had created and unleashed the worm, which affected thousands of computers worldwide.
Parson could face between 18 and 37 months in prison and end up paying millions of dollars in fines. Sentencing is scheduled for 12 November in Seattle.

The W32.Blaster-B variant of the Blaster worm first surfaced on the internet a year ago, days after the appearance of W32.Blaster-A. Blaster-B used the filename, Teekids.exe, rather than the original MSBlast.exe.
The worm exploited a protocol handling vulnerability in Windows to spread itself and launch denial-of-service attacks against popular websites, including Microsoft's Windows Update site.
Parson also admitted inserting a backdoor Trojan in Blaster-B, which allowed him to reconnect to infected computers.
The teenager was tracked down last year by the FBI and the US Secret Service. Officials first got on Parson's trail after tracking down ownership of an internet domain, www.t33kid.com, used by Blaster-B to download instructions and report on infected hosts. Domain name data led officials to Parson's father's home where Parson was arrested and seven computers seized.
Parson admitted modifying the original Blaster worm and creating the Blaster-B worm variant, calling it Teekids after his online name.

Ryan Giggs was asked in a documentary what he'd do if his son grew up to marry a Manchester City fan and have a Sky Blue-themed wedding.
Giggs has been at Manchester United since he was 14 years old, become the most decorated player in the club's history and is now the assistant manager.
You knew he'd say he wouldn't go...
The Welsh winger was asked the question as part of the "Ryan Giggs: Past, Present and Future" documentary that aired on club channel MUTV on Monday night.

This Article Covers
Risk management
One in eight online businesses had 5% of revenues stolen by fraudsters last year, according to research from security supplier Cybersource.
More than a third of these firms lost at least 1% of revenue to fraud. The losses are the result of fraudulent online payments.
A total of 60 out of 150 businesses surveyed said they lost more to fraud in 2008 than the previous year.
The rise comes despite efforts from credit card firms and online businesses to improve customer verification,
The Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode schemes have been the most popular anti-fraud investment in 2008, with 16% of merchants integrating the programmes, according to the survey.

"UK merchants continue to bear a heavy burden of fraud, including high costs and consequent profit losses," said Akif Khan, co-author of the report and the head of client and technical services for Cybersource.
"There are hopes for promising new anti-fraud developments coming from government, but even with this kind of support the merchants' principal protection will, for the most part, remain the tools and programmes that they can assemble in their defence."
