Pricing and Policy Problems in the Northeast Fluid Milk Industry
This article documents the need for reform of milk pricing in the Northeast. The New York price gouging law can be recast as a fair share law. This new milk policy "kills two birds with one stone." It corrects regional inequities in raw milk pricing by reforming the pricing of milk at retail by limiting and redistributing excessive retail margins to farmers and consumers. The fair share policy relieves allocative price inefficiency, improves the performance of the federal milk market order pool, and the general performance of the Northeast dairy farming and fluid milk industries.

Disclosure Process
There are great changes happening in our Solar System. A vast fleet comprised of many motherships of countless positive cosmic races has reached its final parking position on key resonance points within our Solar System to support the process of full Disclosure.
Some of those ships can be seen clearly on photos which were taken by our team this week with StratoProbe 5 about 17 km (57,000 feet) above the surface:
For the first time in 26,000 years, the Chimera group is lately starting to show signs of worry about the stability of the quarantine status for planet Earth.
This is why they are fortifying their defenses within the Air Force Space Command:
Disclosure process is an exponential curve, going slowly at first during the soft Disclosure phase we are experiencing now, but steadily accelerating until we reach the breakthrough at the moment of the Event into full Disclosure.
Many seemingly unrelated initiatives of the surface population are part of the same greater plan of the Light forces (Operation PrisonBreak) to penetrate the quarantine.
Many space program initiatives in the nearspace, in Earth orbit, on Moon and Mars are expected to experience their breakthrough in the next few years:
Mainstream media are slowly preparing for the announcement of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Although certain negative factions will try to spin this into partial Disclosure, they will not be successful and all mainstream media soft Disclosure announcements are really stepping stones towards full Disclosure and are part of the same Operation PrisonBreak:
Scientists are finally discovering the plasma web that spans across the Universe:
Which is perfectly described here:
Dipole Repeller, one of the biggest toroidal structures in the Universe is a sector in this Universe with the Local group of galaxies in its center and two lobes of opposite polarity laterally spaced in both directions. This is the cosmic purification station for the Primary Anomaly with planet Earth in its central null zone. Dipole Repeller is the cosmic dynamo that energizes the process of Compression Breakthrough:
Regarding the basic structure of the Universe, scientists are finally beginning to realize that dark energy does not exist:
At the same time, alternative community is finally beginning to realize that Schumann resonances are NOT increasing:
Schuman resonances are named after professor Schumann who was involved in early German secret space program and was later paperclipped into the United States. The frequencies of Schumann resonances are fairly stable and are mainly defined by the physical size of the ionospheric cavity.
The amplitude of Schumann resonances does change and is bigger when ionospheric plasma gets excited. Ionospheric plasma excitation happens because of solar activity, thunderstorms, use of scalar plasma weapons and HAARP and lately also when the Light forces are clearing the plasma anomaly.
There are other concepts in science and in alternative community that will begin to dissolve slowly as more Light and understanding comes in, among them being the second law of thermodynamics (closed systems do not exist), time travel into the past (it violates causality, at least on macroscopic level), and flat Earth (sunsets into the ocean on flat Earth would be impossible because of atmospheric absorption, as sunrays of the setting Sun would need to travel through thousands of miles of air).

Cobra Interview by Rob Potter
There was immense opposition to this interview being posted. Two engineered emergencies during the recording and two computer hacks during the editing and publishing process were not enough to stop this, but the posting was delayed nevertheless. Make note that the first 35 minutes of the interview were recorded in early April, the second half in early May. Obviously certain interest groups mentioned in this interview did not wish this information to be released, but here it is, in audio format and as a transcript:

Discernment and Awareness
Although drastic action was taken, the situation with directed energy weapon attacks upon Lightworkers and Lightwarriors is far from being resolved and the following article still needs to go viral, translated in as many languages as possible and posted on blogs worldwide:
Here I need to repeat again that the main reason the Light forces do not intervene more directly are plasma toplet bombs:
As plasma strangelet bombs have already been removed successfully, so will be plasma toplet bombs and that will lead to the Event. As soon as the presence of plasma toplet bombs falls below a certain threshold, the Light forces will address the directed energy weapons situation very drastically if it does not get resolved more peacefully until then.
On top of those weaponized attacks, a massive disinformation campaign against the key Lightwarriors on the planet has been engineered by the etheric and plasma Archons, manipulating personality weaknesses of certain people, "suggesting" them to attack. It started immediately after I published this article about directed energy weapons:
A certain individual that "has no idea of what he is talking about", has released a public attack against me, and there was enough awareness to quickly put that into perspective:
To put it again very simply: I have released the directed energy weapons article to bring awareness, NOT to spread fear. Only awareness can transmute such situations. Denial will not make them go away. In fact denial which led to passive allowance is the main reason why concentration camps in World War 2 were even possible.
A few days later, a similar attack targeted Corey Goode and that was quickly put into perspective too:
It is true that Corey Goode and David Wilcock were not very open to cooperation, but they still did a huge contribution towards the planetary liberation. Although together with my network I am powerful enough to positively influence the planetary situation, imagine what we could do all together if we would cooperate!
To help clarifying the issues, the Resistance has asked me to briefly provide my perspective on Corey Goode's intel.
Through my sources I can confirm: existence of secret space programs, spheres in the Solar System, extensive ancient ruins throughout the Solar System, ruins in Antarctica (and also in Amazon delta, gulf of Aden, bay of Bengal, north of Long Island...), giants in stasis
Through my sources I can NOT confirm: existence of Anshar, Corey Goode's recent experiences beyond the surface of this planet
I also know beyond any shadow of doubt that main Atlantis civilization was in the middle of Atlantic ocean, with precise location revealed in this post:
All this is a lesson for many people in the Lightwarrior and Lightworker community to start using discernment. True discernment is not possible on mental level, it can only appear when you make contact with your Soul, your higher self. Then you simply KNOW.
Until then, the following two articles can help:
If we focus again on the planetary situation, the North Korean conflict node still needs to be dissolved:
I would also like to bring massive abuse of basic human rights in North Korea to public awareness:
There is now a strong worldwide campaign to expose the Cabal. The following genuine testimony has reached over 1 million people:
Evidence about a child abuse ring extending all way up to UK royal family has been recently released:
Also, Russian mainstream media now talk openly about Trump being controlled by the deep state:
Jared Kushner is identified as being his handler:
Probably you already know that Kushner owns this building:
But most likely you did not know that 666 Fifth Avenue is the home address of Rockefeller Grand Lodge, the main masonic lodge of the Rockefeller faction of the Cabal (link in Spanish, you can google translate):
The Eastern Alliance is now speeding up their preparations for the Reset:
Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong and Zimbabwean Dollar are NOT the key currencies in the coming financial Reset.
People are becoming more and more aware that taxation is theft:
The idea of universal basic income is getting more and more support, and now even Cabal is considering using it in their own version of the partial, fake Reset:
Needless to say, only full Reset with abundance to all humanity is an option.
Victory of the Light!
Pandora in progress, EELA in progress. Potentially fatal Systems/Isidic security breach, grid ratio failure, Morph decrease from 150 to 126, deflection attempt in progress. Black alert/red alert at 504. HVBN stable. M minimum requirements met.

Situation Update
Now that the Cabal could not trigger World War 3 directly:
they have turned to electronic warfare.
Aside from many times mentioned plasma scalar weapons, they are now using directed energy weapons to their fullest, targeting key Lightworkers and Lightwarriors in an obvious attempt to remove them from the surface of the planet, as the Lightworkers and Lightwarriors with the power of their unified consciousness are one of the main obstacles in Cabal's plans to create global war.
Directed energy weapons are physical radio frequency, laser, microwave, sound or plasma beam weapons that can incapacitate the target:
These weapons are used by the Cabal agents worldwide, torturing a very important segment of civilian population:
Also, the Cabal has bribed many people from the general population to become unconscious co-perpetrators of those crimes against humanity. These sheeple are thinking that they are just spying on targets with a funny looking telescope, when in fact they are irradiating the target with a directed energy weapon:
A certain elite task force has begun removing key perpetrators of those crimes internationally. They "shoot first and ask questions later." They have issued a warning, stating that "anybody using a directed energy weapon against a civilian target, either knowingly or unknowingly, is committing a crime against humanity and may expect to be dealt with." They have also stated that an "international diplomatic and political scandal with far reaching consequences, exposing certain key people from the United States, responsible for use of those weapons against civilian population, may explode soon."
Another source has stated that "the King has declared the opening of the hunting season." Regarding this statement from the "King" it is interesting to note that George Bush Sr. has received a warning from Maat:
Last Monday, the Pleiadians have contacted top Russian military personnel about the directed energy weapons issue. If the attacks on the Lightworkers and Lightwarriors do not stop, the option now on the table is to disable key organizations perpetrating those crimes with a selective EMP strike or with another similar electronic warfare operation. The first two targets mentioned were DARPA and Raytheon.
Russian electronic warfare capabilities were tested on Tuesday, when Russian electronic warfare system Khibiny has successfully paralyzed NORAD across Alaska, as you can read in this partially correct report:
Here I need to say that while NORAD was down, the Pleiadians took certain action on the surface of the planet.
The following article was issued as a warning to negative factions within DARPA and US Air Force:
Also, power outages in San Francisco, LA and New York were NOT a coincidence:
Now it is of the utmost importance for all Lightworkers and Lightwarriors to invoke and anchor the Light as much as humanly possible, although I am fully aware that we are tested beyond limits. Here is a very good and effective example of how to do this:
The other extremely important thing is to awaken as many people as possible to the reality of directed energy weapons. The easiest way to do that is to make the following article viral through your blogs and your social networks:
Our unified awareness and consciousness will transmute this situation, as it has transmuted countless situations before.

Peace Meditation Report
Although the critical mass has not been reached, our Peace Meditation was a huge success. Given the fact that we had only 4 days to organize this on a very inconvenient hour during a workday due to the urgency of the situation, and given the fact that the Cabal has almost completely blocked sharing this meditation on facebook, we were very successful.
Few hours before the meditation, there was this sign in the sky:
The very exact moment I wanted to post this meditation online last Friday, someone took a lot of effort to take whole Blogger offline:
It is interesting to note that the cyber attack to Veterans Today took that website down for 12 hours roughly at the same time. According to their sources, US Army Cyber Command at Ft. Huachaca was responsible, trail leading to General Mc Master. Apparently they do not wish THIS article to be published:
As Resistance has predicted, Tuesday was the point of maximum tension. The Archon families described here:
especially Orsini and Pallavicini, tried to activate Doom 33 endgame world destruction program through their Khazarian underdogs inside the Omega Grid to fulfill endgame prophecies:
This was swiftly prevented a few hours later when the Pleiadians have contacted some key people inside the Russian and Chinese military, which was made possible among other reasons also because of the energy support we made with our mediation to the energy grid around the planet. The Pleiadians had a short discussion with Putin, "telling him certain things he did not personally like", but when they explained to him what is at stake, he understood, took the risk and chose to cooperate with the Light.
If all this sabre rattling worldwide does not stop soon, the following options are on the table, depending on the level of urgency: exposure, disclosure and removal.
Exposure means Russian media exposing detailed intel about a) worldwide Illuminati network and their operations, and/or b) secret pacts between US government and negative extraterrestrials.
Disclosure means full release of intel about extraterrestrial presence, financial Reset and the Event through Russian and Chinese media, which has actually already started:
Removal means Spetsnaz agents taking care of the Illuminati network, starting with the Unholy Four.
Exposure started immediately with Putin telling it exactly as it is:
As a result of our meditation and the Pleiadian interventions, there is suddenly talk of peace:
Fearing full Disclosure events will now overtake them, NASA has hurried to announce that there is a possibility of alien life on Saturn's moon Enceladus:
This is the first time in human history that mainstream science has openly admitted the possibility that we are not alone.
Dragon sources have communicated that certain representatives of the Cabal are now negotiating their surrender but the Resistance is very skeptical what will come out of this.
There is still a lot of work that needs to be done because the conflict node in North Korea has not been dissolved yet:
The Pleiadians may take further action and the Resistance remains on full alert.

Peace Meditation Update
Time is approaching for our Peace Meditation and the energies are rising as more and more people has made a decision to join us and we are gaining momentum. There were again many signs in the sky in the form of rainbow cloudships especially in Asia in the last days before our meditation, indicating that the Light forces are supporting us in this endeavor. Here is an example of Pleiadian cloudship creating a plasma purification vortex a few days ago in Taipei:
Next hours will be decisive for how many people join us and how much impact or meditation will have on the planetary situation. Therefore I would ask all of you to spread the news about this meditation far and wide. Youtube videos are the easiest way to make this viral and they have been translated into 25 languages:
Guided audio meditations have been created in many languages:

It is time to take action again! It is time to take the destiny of our world in our own hands! We all agree that the process of reaching planetary peace is taking too long. Here is our chance to collectively speed up the process. Therefore we are using the opportunity of the Full Moon on April 11th to create a portal through which we will balance the energy field around the planet.
We are doing this meditation to counteract the negative effects of the military escalation that is now taking place in Syria:
Make this viral! Share it worldwide! Please post it on your websites and blogs. Invite spiritual groups to join us. If you know an alternative media outlet, you can send it to them. You can create a Facebook group for your local group of people doing this in your part of the world. We also need one main Facebook group for this event. You can create a video about this and post it on Youtube.
Scientific studies have confirmed positive effects of mass meditations on human society, so each of you that will participate in this meditation can actually help bringing the Event closer to us:
This meditation helps the Light forces to ground the energy of Light on the surface of the planet to strengthen the Light grid which is needed to speed up the process of reaching planetary peace. Number of people doing that meditation is the single most influential factor within the power of the surface human population for speeding up the process.
We can reach the critical mass of 144,000 people doing this meditation!
Astrological chart for our meditation shows a cardinal grand square of Sun/Uranus/Eris, Vesta, Jupiter/Moon and Pluto/Juno which signifies the peak point of planetary tension before its gets finally resolved as a result of the intervention of the Light forces:
We will be doing this meditation at the exact moment of the Full Moon on Tuesday, April 11th at 08:08 am Central European Time (CEST). This equals 2:08 pm CST in Taipei, 8:08 am EET in Cairo, 8:08 am EET in Palmyra, 7:08 am BST in London, 2:08 am EDT in New York, 1:08 am CDT in Chicago, 0:08 am MDT in Denver and 11:08 pm PDT in Los Angeles on Monday, April 10th.
You can check the time of the meditation for your time zone here:
1. Use your own technique to bring you to a relaxed state of consciousness.
2. State your intent to use this meditation as a tool to speed up the process of bringing peace for planet Earth and its inhabitants.
3. Visualize a pillar of Light emanating from the Galactic Central Sun, then going through all beings of Light inside our Solar System and then through your body to the center of the Earth. Visualize another pillar of Light rising from the center of the Earth, then up through your body and upwards into the sky towards all beings of Light in our Solar System and our galaxy. You are now sitting in two pillars of Light, the Light flowing both upwards and downwards simultaneously. Keep these pillars of Light active for a few minutes.
4. Now visualize a violet flame purifying the Syria vortex and its energy field on plasma, etheric and astral planes. Then visualize this violet flame expanding through all Middle East and purifying it. Then expand it even more until it encompasses the whole planet, purifying its energy field on the plasma, etheric and astral planes.
5. Now visualize a soft pink healing divine feminine energy, healing all people in Syria and bringing peace to the country. Visualize this soft pink light protecting Palmyra. Visualize this divine feminine energy healing the minds and hearts of all people worldwide involved in the Syria conflict. Then visualize this divine feminine energy expanding through all Middle East and healing all people there. Then expand it even more until it encompasses the whole planet, healing all living beings on the planet.
Goddess wants peace and peace it will be!

Good 3.9 /5 from 23 reviews
I traveled to this hotel with my 2 elementary school aged children. We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful, the location was very convenient to everything in Kas, and the internet was fast. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The rooms were a bit small, but I would definitely stay here again.
Rooms are small but well appointed. No real views except an excellent view from the terrace where breakfast is served. 10 min walk to the city center. Perfect if arriving by bus, but 10 mins to harbor.
Very nice and clean. Super cute! Good location. I loved Kas.
Nice simple hotel close to the centre.
Hotel was easy to find, very clean and well situated, just a 5 minute walk to the town center. Staff was extremely pleasant. Room was basic with not a lot of character, but very clean, great shower. Breakfast was fresh and more than substantial. View from terrace was lovely.

Thailand, Laos, and Burma have been known as the "Golden Triangle" because of their historically prominent role in the drug trade. For centuries, these countries have produced the opium that has attracted traders from Europe and elsewhere. Economics, religion, and politics combine to make this area not only important but also, to the western mind, exotic.
A relaxing holiday in Thailand turns into a nightmare when Emily loses Cyrus to kidnappers.
"Mrs. Pollifax to the Rescue!"
The incredible story of how Chiang Kai–shek's defeated army came to dominate the Asian drug trade. After their defeat in China's civil war, remnants of Chiang Kai–shek's armies took refuge in Burma before being driven into Thailand and Laos. Based on recently declassified government documents, The Secret Army: Chiang Kai–shek and the Drug Warlords of the Golden Triangle reveals the shocking true story of what happened after the Chinese Nationalists lost the revolution.
"Hard to Swallow"
At first, what happened on the Mekong River on October 5, 2011 seemed like a simple matter of rough frontier justice. A detachment of Thai military commandos reported that they had confronted a band of drug runners smuggling methamphetamines out of the Golden Triangle, the famously lawless borderlands between Burma, Laos, and Thailand. A gunfight ensued, the smugglers fled, and the commandos seized two barges and a haul of nearly a million pills.
Joe Walker was once a regular guy - until he discovered the truth about his past lives and magical abilities. He's also been reunited with his immortal lover, Min - though they've been forced into hiding by Tyac, a werewolf who will stop at nothing to destroy them. When their nemesis reappears, an old friend sends Joe back into the supernatural realm known as the Wild - and away from Min.

Greece-Swiss Tax Talks, CFTC-New Zealand, FCA: ComplianceCarla Main
Greece's difficulties with tax evasion were a topic of discussion yesterday when Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras met his Swiss counterpart Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf in Athens.
Stournaras expressed a desire for the "British model," a reference to the 2011 withholding tax agreement between Switzerland and the U.K.
Talks on unreported Greek funds have dragged on since 2011 and progress toward an agreement would provide a boost for the Greek government, which vowed to clamp down on tax evasion as part of its 240 billion-euro ($324 billion) bailout from the euro area and the International Monetary Fund.
Discussions are aimed at finding a solution on how to deal with deposits retroactively and may be concluded "soon," Widmer-Schlumpf said.
Switzerland is trying to shake off its reputation as a tax haven after amassing $2.2 trillion of assets from wealthy clients living outside the country. While no official numbers exist, Greeks may have hidden about 42 billion francs ($47 billion) in Swiss accounts, according to a 2009 report from Helvea SA, a Geneva-based brokerage.

CFTC Registration Improves U.S. Access to NZX Dairy Derivatives
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission registered NZX Ltd., the operator of the New Zealand Stock Exchange, as a Foreign Board of Trade, the company said in statement Feb. 3.
Registration will allow NZX to permit direct access to participants in the U.S. to trade dairy derivatives on its platform, NZX said.
Access from the U.S. will help to build liquidity, according to the company.
In August, NZX extended dairy derivative trading hours to overlap with U.S. and European trading, the company said.
Compliance Action
Ten Banks Have Handed Evidence to FCA on FX Trading Probe
Ten banks have given evidence to the U.K.'s markets watchdog in an investigation into manipulation of foreign-exchange benchmarks, Financial Conduct Authority Chief Executive Officer Martin Wheatley told lawmakers in London.
The allegations are "as bad as Libor," Wheatley said, without naming any banks under investigation.
The FCA also is probing "a number of benchmarks that operate in London," Wheatley said, without specifying which ones.
The foreign exchange probe probably won't be concluded this year, he said.
Germany's top financial regulator said Jan. 17 that possible manipulation of currency rates and prices for precious metals is worse than the Libor-rigging scandal, which has already led to fines of about $6 billion.
Martoma Jury Takes Up 'Most Lucrative' Insider Trading Case
A jury ended its first day of deliberations yesterday without reaching a verdict in the trial of former SAC Capital Advisors LP fund manager Mathew Martoma, accused by federal prosecutors of masterminding the most lucrative insider trading scheme in U.S. history.
Martoma's trial began with jury selection Jan. 7 after federal investigators failed to persuade him to cooperate in their probe of SAC Capital and its owner Steven A. Cohen.
Deliberations in Manhattan federal court are set to continue today.
Martoma, 39, is accused of using secret information about clinical tests of bapineuzumab, an Alzheimer's disease drug being developed by Elan Corp. and Wyeth LLC. Prosecutors say he traded on tips provided by two doctors supervising the tests. The $275 million scheme is the most lucrative ever charged against an individual, the U.S. said.
Martoma's charged with two counts of securities fraud and one count of conspiracy. The securities fraud charges each carry up to 20 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Martoma and Cohen sold a $700 million position in Elan and Wyeth within days after Martoma received detailed confidential results of the testing. Cohen, who denies wrongdoing, hasn't been charged with a crime. He faces an administrative proceeding filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The case is U.S. v. Martoma, 12-cr-00973, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

ICE Said to Hire KCG's King as Senior Legal Adviser for NYSE
IntercontinentalExchange Group Inc. hired Elizabeth King from KCG Holdings Inc. to serve as a senior lawyer for the New York Stock Exchange, according to a person briefed on the matter.
King served as head of regulatory affairs at trading firm KCG and previously was an associate director of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Trading and Markets, where she oversaw exchanges such as the NYSE. Her move to ICE comes as the SEC seeks to improve rules governing capital markets, according to a draft document from the regulator released yesterday.
Brookly McLaughlin, an ICE spokeswoman, didn't reply to an e-mail seeking comment. King didn't respond to a request to speak about the job change.
In addition to working at KCG, King serves as a board member of Chicago-based Options Clearing Corp., which processes U.S. equity derivatives trades.

Many watersby Peter J. Leithart
Yahweh speaks with the voice of many waters, and so does Jesus. That means loud, but it also means that the voice is the source of life (cf. Numbers 20:11; 24:7; Ezekiel 17:5), like the abundant waters in the wilderness. Many waters cannot quench the flame of Love. That is, no competing . . . . Continue Reading »

Looking UpMature
I'm tired of the lies
I'm tired of being all these things
That I despise
Please tell me, that this ends somewhere
And my efforts aren't in vain.
Please tell me, that there is more to this life
Than every waking moment of pain
Because my heart is beginning to stop
My stomach about to drop
My whole world is turning upside down
And its you whose got me caught
This time there's no turning back
I want so desperately to be your all
But how do I know you'll be there
When its time to break my fall?
Remember when things were so easy?
The simple things made us smile.
Rolling around in the grass
And we used to wrestle for a while.
I'm hoping this is just a phase.
A silly blip, that will make us stronger.
I hope we can start looking up
And what we have doesn't falter.

Annuity Hunting? A Few CaveatsChris Farrell
If you're a baby boomer, odds are you're trying to save for retirement. After you set aside pretax money in a corporate 401(k) savings plan--or, for the self-employed, a Keogh--annuities often look like the answer. Annuity earnings compound tax-deferred, just as in a 401(k) plan or ira. But unlike those vehicles, your annuity is almost always funded by aftertax dollars. While many savers choose a fixed-rate investment underwritten by the insurer, variable annuities, which let you invest in one or more in-house mutual funds, are increasingly popular.
FINE PRINT. But unless you're absolutely sure you won't need your savings between now and retirement, annuities can be costly. If you take your money out before you are 5912, the government socks you with a 10% penalty on top of ordinary income taxes on the amount you withdraw. Insurance companies will impose a fee if you bail out early, too. The withdrawal charges generally run 5% to 10% of the amount withdrawn: The sooner you touch your money, the higher the fee. Usually, such charges phase out in up to 10 years.
Variable annuities often have additional charges ranging from 1.5% to 2.25% of your account's value. So you should not only read all the fine print in the prospectus but also make sure your potential return makes the fees, possible tax penalties, and potential surrender charges worthwhile. "It makes no sense to pay the higher expenses of a variable annuity if you chain yourself to money-market returns," says Glenn Daily, an insurance analyst in New York.
Variable annuities work best for those willing to buy high-risk investments, such as aggressive-growth stock funds. Still, some variable-rate annuities sport fees low enough that you can choose a more conservative strategy. And in all cases, whether variable or fixed-rate, only buy an annuity from a top-rated insurance company.
One option for those who balk at high fees, says William G. Brennan, tax partner at Ernst & Young, is a no-load equity index mutual fund. True, you give up the tax advantage, but management fees are razor-thin, and you have access to your money. In fact, Brennan believes even the cheaper fixed-rate annuities have a rival: series ee savings bonds. With these securities, your money compounds tax-deferred, you earn at least 6%--about the same as a conservatively managed annuity--provided you hold the bonds five years or more, and Uncle Sam doesn't charge surrender fees.

Nearly 13,000 in hospital as China milk scandal grows
By Chris Buckley
BEIJING (Reuters) - The number of Chinese infants sick in hospital after drinking tainted milk formula doubled to nearly 13,000 and the country's top quality regulator resigned on Monday in the latest blight on the "made-in-China" brand.
Four deaths have been blamed on the toxic milk powder, which causes kidney stones and agonizing complications, and a string of Asian countries have banned or recalled Chinese milk products.
The official Xinhua news agency said in a brief statement that the country's quality chief, Li Changjiang, had quit in light of the case. "Li was the highest ranking official brought down so far by the dairy product contamination scandal," it said.
The Communist Party chief of Shijiazhuang, home to the Sanlu Group which is at the centre of the scandal, has also been fired, Xinhua said, the latest official to lose their job for mishandling the incident.
The government has blamed local officials for delays in reporting problems with the milk powder, and an investigation has found that Sanlu began receiving customer complaints about its milk powder as long ago as last December, Xinhua said.
"Sanlu did not report (the problem) either to the Shijiazhuang government or related authorities and did not take remedial action, causing the incident to expand even further," it said, citing the results of an official probe.
The Health Ministry said the number of children hospitalized due to the milk powder contaminated with the industrial chemical melamine rose from a previously announced total of 6,244 -- which included many who had left hospital -- to 12,892, including 104 who were in a serious condition.
More than 1,500 had already left hospital and nearly 40,000 with milder symptoms "received clinical treatment and advice" before going home. The ministry did not explain the sharp rise. Continued...

Thousands of activists are attending a May Day rally in honour of veteran political campaigner Tony Benn and rail union leader Bob Crow who died within days of each other last month.
The traditional May Day event in London, which celebrates workers' achievements, will honour the two men, who died within a few days of each other earlier this year.
Tony Lennon, chief steward of the London May Day Organising Committee, said: "This year's London May Day presents a huge opportunity for the trade unions and the community to both pay tribute to the massive contribution made by Bob Crow and Tony Benn to the fight for workers' rights, and to send out a clear message that the battle goes on."
Mick Cash, acting general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union, said: "RMT branches and regions have been building for a massive turnout on May Day in London in memory of both Bob Crow and Tony Benn under the theme: Don't Mourn - Organise."

Activists around the world are marking International Worker's Day. May 1st has traditionally been a flash-point date that has seen clashes between police and protesters. In Turkey clashes have erupted in Istanbul between May Day demonstrators and riot police as crowds determined to defy a government ban tried to march to the city's famous Taksim Square.
Security forces pushed back demonstrators with water cannons and tear gas. Protesters retaliated by throwing objects at police.
In Cambodia, witnesses said civilian auxiliary police, armed with clubs and often used by the government to break up protests, turned on the demonstrators after opposition leaders spoke to the crowd and left the rally site.
The assaults appeared to be random and limited, and were over in less than an hour.
In Moscow, about 100,000 people marched through Red Square, the first time the annual parade has been held on the vast cobblestoned square outside the Kremlin since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Marchers held up signs saying "Let's go to Crimea for vacation" and "Putin is right." Russian flags fluttered through the crowd.
Thousands of Malaysians held a peaceful protest in downtown Kuala Lumpur against a looming goods and services tax that they fear will increase the cost of living.Reuse content

Rockies recall left-handed reliever Josh Outman
Associated Press | Last updated April 19, 2013
Reliever Josh Outman was recalled Friday from the Colorado Rockies' Triple A affiliate in Colorado Springs, giving the big league team another left-hander in the bullpen. In a corresponding move, the Rockies optioned right-handed reliever Chris Volstad to Colorado Springs. Rockies manager Walt Weiss said the club wanted to bolster its left-handed bullpen depth because of a series of upcoming games against teams with batting lineups heavy with left-handed hitters. ''More than anything, it gives us another left-hander in the bullpen and Josh has been throwing well,'' Weiss said. ''It gives us our best shot, especially here in the near future. Chris didn't perform poorly but he was in a situation where he wasn't getting a lot of consistent work. So hopefully, he'll go down there and get that consistent work and I imagine he'll be with us again at some point this year.'' Outman was 1-0 with a 0.84 ERA in five games for the Sky Sox. He had 14 strikeouts in 10 2-3 innings. Volstad was 0-0 with an 8.53 ERA in four appearances for the Rockies covering 6 1-3 innings.

For Morgan's Light
Sweat poured down Petey's face as The Flat put him through the paces. He couldn't believe the stuff this, this Spirit was putting him through. Running around the flat weighted down with a ton of rocks. Dodging rocks being tossed and rolled at him with incredible force. Petey still had a bruise on his leg where he'd been hit a week ago. Now he was fighting it with his wrench.
"Enough!" Haddie's voice rang over the Flat authoritatively.
Both Petey and the Spirit stopped mid swing and turned to her. Petey stepped back when he saw his father.
"What in the blazes is going on up here?" Petey's father looked from sweaty Petey to Grandma B. and back again. "I thought this was some sort of protected land and here you are tearing it up."
"He musst be allowed to ssee." Devil's Flat hissed.
Grandma B nodded and placed a hand on Pete Sr.'s shoulder. "Petey come put your hand on your father's other shoulder." Petey complied and Grandma B. whispered a few soft words.
"What the…" Petey's father jumped back out of their grasp. "What in the blazes kind of trick is this?"
"Petey, get hold of that shoulder again." Grandma B took hold of the other. "If you'd grown up here, you would know that what you see before you is the Spirit of this land. Most folks can only see him on All Hallows Eve. You happen to have been born into the family that keeps the Spirit at bay. Like your son, he has a lot of repressed anger."
"A fine pair then." Petey's father grumbled.
"SSit," the Spirit demanded. "Pleasse," it added as an after thought. They sat facing it. "Watch." The form filled the sky before them and it showed the history of the Flat as it had to Petey. Petey knew the names of all those who died up here now. It had taken a while to get them all in his head, but with Grandma B's baking as a reward, how could he not.
The image froze. Before them stood Ash and a Deamon locked in battle. "Thiss one, iss the lasst one," the Spirit spat. "The Van Helssingss have ssealed their fate." The scene fell away and was replaced by something much more peaceful. Petey gasped as he watched Morgan float over a wall and then create a door to go through it.
"Yess, your coussin Morgan growss sstrong." The Spirit grinned as it returned to a more humanoid form. "Even now sshe iss being tessted by her Father'ss kin, The Faeriess."
"How do you know all this?" Grandma B narrowed her eyes at the Spirit.
"The Issland hass sshared much with me. We sshall be joining with it to save Assh and banissh the Van Helssingss."
"Why should I save Ash?" Petey grumbled. The good for nothing, stealer of His Morgan, even if she couldn't be His Morgan.
"Becausse you love Morgan'ss light. Sshould Assh die or her heart be sshattered sshe sshall be ass dark ass I."
Petey's eyes grew wide. The thought of Morgan dark, dark as that Morgan Grandma B had books about, scared him. "No," he whispered. No, there was no way he would let that happen.

We have a rogue device on the network and know its name and mac address. Can I block it from accessing the network?

You can add an ACL rule to your core switch or router.
If you running MS DHCP, create a reservation in the scope the PC is connecting in and then give them a default gateway of 0.0.0.0 This wont block their access but maybe they will give up if they cant get to the Internet.
Feb 12, 2009 at 8:02 UTC
If it is a rogue machine you can't rely on it taking a DHCP address or respecting the routes you send it in the DHCP registration.
You need to find what port of your network switch it is operating on, and trace the wire to the machine and unplug it, probably issuing some form of corrective action to the responsible party for connecting it. if a network jack isn't used, it is best unplugged.

Churchill Downs, located on Central Avenue in south Louisville, Kentucky, is a thoroughbred racetrack most famous for hosting the Kentucky Derby annually. It officially opened in 1875, and held the first Kentucky Derby and the first Kentucky Oaks in the same year. Churchill Downs has also hosted the renowned Breeders' Cup on six occasions, most recently in 2006. Churchill Downs Incorporated owns and operates the racetrack.
In 2009, the Horseplayers Association of North America introduced a rating system for 65 Thoroughbred racetracks in North America. Churchill Downs was ranked #5 on this list.
HistoryMeriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. (grandson of explorer William Clark). Clark was president of the Louisville Jockey Club and Driving Park Association, which formed in 1874. His father-in-law, Richard Ten Broeck, was an accomplished horse breeder and trainer, and introduced Clark to horse racing, attending the English Derby at Epsom Downs outside London.
In early 1902, Applegate turned over operation of the track to Charles F. Grainger, then the mayor of Louisville, in an effort to move Churchill Downs away from being primarily known for gambling. A new clubhouse was built in order to promote social interaction, and new events such as steeplechases, automobile races and band concerts were held at the track. The State Fair was held on the grounds, featuring the odd spectacle of two locomotives being intentionally crashed head-on in the infield.
On June 5, 1907, African American jockey James Lee set a record that has never been beaten when he won the entire six-race card at Churchill Downs.
In 1908, parimutuel betting machines were introduced as gambling began to be less controversial again, and the wagering portion of the track's business became more profitable.
Churchill Downs was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
On September 29, 2006, Churchill Downs became the first horse track to host a Rolling Stones concert.
On Friday, June 19, 2009, Churchill Downs hosted its first-ever night race.
The twin spires atop the grandstands are the most recognizable architectural feature of Churchill Downs and are used as a symbol of the track and the Derby. They were designed by architect Joseph Dominic Baldez and built in 1895. Today, Churchill Downs covers 147 acres. The usual number of people seated at the derby is 50,000 people, though crowds can reach over 150,000 on Derby day. The dirt oval main track, on which the Derby is run, is one mile (1.6 km) in circumference and is 79 to 80 feet (24 m) wide, with a 120-foot (36.5-meter) wide section for the starting gate. A turf track, inside the main track, is 7/8 of a mile (1.4 km) in circumference and 80 feet (24 m) wide.
From 2001 to 2005, Churchill Downs underwent a three-and-a-half year, $121 million renovation. The clubhouse was replaced, 79 luxury suites were added, and the historic twin spires were refurbished. One of the additions in the clubhouse was a 36-foot (11-meter) mural by Pierre Bellocq depicting all 96 jockeys to win the Kentucky Derby from 1875 to 2004. In summer 2008 the same artist added another mural depicting all of the trainers and updating the Jockey's painting, adding Calvin Borel and Edgar Prado to it. The new design has been somewhat controversial since the new suites block full view of the spires from most angles.[1] The tips of the spires are still the highest parts of the facility, albeit just barely now.
Racing at Churchill Downs occurs in two meets. The spring meet starts one week before the Derby and continues until early July. The Kentucky Derby is held the first Saturday in May and the Kentucky Oaks is run on Friday, the day before the Derby. A fall meet picks up in late October and closes Thanksgiving weekend in late November. When Ellis Park was supposedley going to close in 2008, there was speculation that the spring meet would have extended through the summer.
In addition to the track, clubhouse and stables, Churchill Downs also contains the Kentucky Derby Museum which focuses on the history of the Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs. The museum also contains a number of exhibits exploring the training and racing of thoroughbred horses. It includes a 360-degree cinema that shows the short film "The Greatest Race," a documentary about the Kentucky Derby. The museum is normally open year-round but due to flash flooding in the first week of August, 2009, the museum is currently closed to visitors and tours. There are however other tours of the paddock area and track available to visitors of Churchill Downs Horse Race Track.
The Kentucky Derby Museum and Derby Cafe were opened on April 18th, after an extensive renovation.
