Sydney stockbroker Oliver Curtis jailed for insider trading
Sydney stockbroker Oliver Curtis has been jailed for two years after an insider trading scam hatched with his then best friend made them more than $1.4 million in illegal profits.
Curtis, 30, was found guilty of conspiring to commit insider trading on 45 separate occasions, earlier this month.
The trial heard how he shared in illegal profits from insider trading using confidential information between May 2007 and June 2008.
Prosecutors had pushed for a five-year prison term, arguing his crimes were a "form of cheating".
However, New South Wales Supreme Court Justice Lucy McCallum handed down a minimum term of one year, saying a prison sentence would provide "real bite" as a deterrent to white-collar crimes.
Justice McCallum said white-collar crime was a serious offence and evidence in the case satisfied her that a custodial sentence was appropriate.
The father of two then embraced his wife, PR executive Roxy Jacenko, before being led from the court by guards.
'Best friends' hatched illegal plan to buy and sell shares
During the trial, the court heard Curtis received tip-offs from his former best friend, John Hartman.
Prosecutors said Hartman, who worked for Orion Asset Management, told Curtis when to buy and sell "contracts for difference" and at what price, using information not available to the public.
Curtis's defence said Hartman played a much larger role in the offending than he did, determining when it started and when it finished.
But in her decision, Justice McCallum said she accepted both men came up with the plan together.
"Mr Curtis also provided the funds to begin the trading."
Curtis 'knew source of information he received'
But Justice Callum also accepted Mr Hartman "was the insider" and there was "no breach of trust" by Mr Curtis.
"His culpability [Curtis] is less on that account," Justice McCallum said.
"But it must be accepted, as submitted by the crown, that he knew the source of the information he was to receive."
The trial heard Hartman and Curtis grew up in neighbouring homes in Mosman, on Sydney's north shore, and went to school together.
Hartman told the court the pair were "best friends", and described how they hatched a plan in 2007 to use Hartman's position at Orion to profit from buying and selling shares.
He has previously said that the pair saw the offending as "a bit of a game" and a way to make money.
Prosecutors had argued that insider trading was not a victimless crime.
They said Curtis had seen an opportunity and run with it.
Friends shared $3000-a-week Bondi apartment
He was himself jailed in 2010 and served a 15-month prison sentence for insider trading and related offences.
At the time of the trades, they were sharing a $3,000-per-week Bondi apartment, allegedly funded by the proceeds of the transactions.
Jurors heard Hartman was forbidden from trading Australian shares because of his role at Orion.
The firm had $6 billion in funds under management, including on behalf of super funds.
Trades were made in the name of Curtis's company, Encounter Investments, through CMC Markets.
The jury was told that in June 2007, Curtis bought Hartman a $60,000 Mini Cooper, followed by a $20,000 Ducati motorcycle.
The court was told Hartman provided the inside information using a messaging technique called "pinning" on a Blackberry device that Curtis had bought for him.
Nature of offences 'reduces weight given to his good character'
In her sentencing remarks, Justice McCallum noted Curtis had no prior convictions and she took into consideration a number of positive character references that had been submitted to the court.
Former colleagues and family friends had described Curtis as the hardest worker, a role model, and a doting father and husband.
In the submissions it was also said the chances of him reoffending were zero.
But Justice McCallum said the bearing she could give to this evidence in her sentencing decision was limited.
"The fact that Mr Curtis's offending occurred over an extended period of time, involving many deliberate decisions... [This] reduces the weight that can be given to his good character," she said.
Sentences should be harsher, ASIC says
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) said the punishments for white-collar crime should be more severe.
ASIC chairman Greg Medcraft agreed with Justice MacCallum's comments in court about white-collar criminals often evading prosecution compared to blue-collar crime.
"I would actually make it harsher because they are informed," he said "But I think if we as a community could at least get to the level where they're treated equally, that would be a good start."

Japan > North America when it comes to playing fighting games.
We don't suck... Japan has a strong arcade culture, and quite frankly they fight so many different players that are seriously dedicated in the game.
Online is a more casual space for fighting game fans, and they prefer arcades even in America,
A lot of high ranking American players are indeed from arcades, and that isn't a coincidence.
Only problem is, the land mass of the US is too big for the big name players to meet up often. For example, There's a strong SF4 presence in California and New York, with a lot of tournaments happening every year. It's not easy for anyone living far away from these concentrated areas to get good at the game. But even these players lament the fact that they just don't have a diverse range of advanced players to play with.
Since Japan is smaller than California, imagine the concentration of players in the nation. Japanese players know a lot of different match-ups and play styles than American players just for that reason alone.
And yes, "Online is Casual". Advanced players do play it, but you get maybe 1 out of 10 on a good day as your opponent. You don't get the coin-op arcade filter that removes the casuals while leaving only the dedicated.
Also, Blazblue has been out for quite a while in the Arcades in Japan, I'm sure most of the arcade players bought a console copy as well.

Europe >>>>>>>>> North America for driving games, in Europe there are things called corners.
I'm a Taokaka player so you know, and I think I'm pretty ahright. I don't seem to play NEARLY as many Jins and Noels as I used to, and the Jins that are left are actually pretty damn good. Noels I can never tell if their good because all of her combos look like button mashy nonsense. I seem to find a mixed bag of fights at pretty much any time of day. I've actually seen a huge Jin backlash since people think having him on your Drive Code Card is the lamest thing since Kens came to SFIV.
Even in SFIV all the Ken's just stayed in Ranked Match and Championship Mode is pretty diverse all day long.
is there a country that is stereotypically better at sandbox games?

Tournanment players in America are better
Seriously people love to say how awesome Asian gamers are, and they might be better, but only in an average-per player type ratio
Pros from the West are generally better than pros from the East, in fighters, in shooters, and yes, even in Starcraft.
North America > Japan when it comes to nuclear warheads.

Seth: Time Will Tell...
I can't really define how it exactly happened. But it happened nonetheless. Out of all the days for something to occur it had to be today. Skidding to a halt in front of the restaurant, I saw Grace standing still near the pavement.
There was a huge crowd on the opposite side of the road but I didn't have any curiosity as to find out what was happening. My mind was set on one thing only. Frustrated, I called out to her, "Grace, get in right now."
Grace, to my great surprise, remained silent throughout the drive. That helped me. I usually never have to strain myself to find an answer to my questions. Being valedictorian, as well as the Football team quarterback, I often had my way with things. But this time was different.
We reached home within a few minutes, and I brought the Jag to a stop near the garage. Grace got out and proceeded towards the front steps, but I remained in my seat. "Seth! You coming in or not?" she called out to me as she reached the front door. "Yeah, I will be there. Just give me a minute!" I replied.
It had happened when I was out visiting Elle. We had been planning for a movie for so many days to come. And I finally got my chance to take her out after what seemed an eternity. Had been dating for 3 years to come, and we were hoping that things would stay permanent. One reason to why we both picked the same universities.
Taking a park on the opposite side of the road I had waited for her. The Hawthornes had a beautiful mansion near the outskirts of the city, across the bridge. Less traffic, and more silence. Sending her a quick message, "Elle, I'm here. Let's go!!" I leaned back on the hood of my Jag waiting. She came out within a few minutes, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Hawthorne, who shouted out greetings, "Hey Seth! How are your parents?" "They are fine Mr. Hawthorne." "You better take good care of her for tonight, Seth!!" "Sure, Mrs. Hawthorne, I'll protect her with my life."
Waving to me excitedly, Elle left the company of her parents, and walked over. It was the weekend and as such, there were more people driving in through the bridge and a little bit of traffic. Elle slowly came down the road, taking good precautionary measures. I smiled at her as she came walking by. And that was when it happened.
One of the approaching cars' tires exploded. And as I watched, the car tipped over and stumbled towards Elle without halt. I saw Elle's eyes open wide in terror. "Elle!!! Watch out!!" I shouted, and within moments rushed to save her somehow, though I knew that we would both die. Mr. Hawthorne and Mrs. Hawthorne's vague voices vanished from my mind…and all of a sudden, as I ran, I saw the time continuum come to a halt. The car was inches away from her, yet I already held Elle in my arms as I pushed her away from near death…and within a few seconds, I found her holding tightly onto my chest both of us having rolled out of the oncoming carnage. "Seth…are you ok?" said Elle. "I'm fine Elle. Are you hurt?" I replied…It was only minutes later I left Elle at her house, and picked up Grace…I still hadn't told anyone. But I couldn't deny, I was afraid. What was happening to me?

By the time the tour ended I really had to go to the bathroom and was a bit hungry. Enough so that I might have gotten a little bit grumpy with Nick. Apparently this happens often. Nick handles me well though. He found me a pretzel and we walked towards our hostel. We found a Pandora store on the way and almost bought a charm, but it was way too expensive.

There are not enough words to describe the atrocities that occurred here. We wore 6 layers of clothing and were freezing, we could not even imagine how the victims her managed in a thin pajama suit.

The train went directly to the gas chambers and she never saw her family again.

Today I ventured across the river to visit Schindler's Factory; as portrayed in the movie Schindler's List by Stephen Spielberg. The walk over was nice - but definitely in an industrial park. There is also lots of construction; glad to see so much renovation and improvement. Growing up I believe I saw Schindler's List when I was in high school. I remember that my Grandma (my Dad's Mom) was over at our house and we started watching the movie in the kitchen and then later moved to ...

Welcome to the Hillcrest Elementary School's Website. Hillcrest
We are a K-6 building with 509 students. As you enter our building, the Hillcrest Credo and our mascot, Tigger the tiger, will greet you. Four hundred pieces of framed student artwork grace the hallways. Several teachers have turned a courtyard into our "Children's Garden," which is used for science observations and a quiet reading and writing place. Seven modular classroom units house our humanities, math support and enrichment, English as a Second Language, speech and language, instrumental strings and reading recovery programs. Because we are a collaborative community, we call ourselves the Hillcrest Family. We truly believe that excellence in education is reached when the principal, parents, teachers, children, and the extended community work together to create an educational climate that encourages active and creative learning. Because of this philosophy we embrace the "inclusion" model at our school. All children, regardless of learning style, receive their education in the general education classroom with extra support given in a supplemental support room on an "as needed" basis. It is important for children to recognize differences and realize that they can learn from each other. If our goal is to nurture life-long learners, students must be exposed to diversity and become aware that "collective wisdom" originates from many, not a chosen few.
Hillcrest values the importance of a balanced standards-based curriculum that serves the broad goals for student learning and development. Academic, social, and emotional growth are the core of our mission statement, and these diverse needs are met through many special programs and services. Innovation is the norm, rather than the exception. Hillcrest teachers are recognized for their leadership and creative approaches to developing and presenting curriculum. Our teachers and principal are committed to professional development. Exposure to new and varied educational approaches encourages all of us to be reflective learners and to implement "best practices."
The staff and I hope you enjoyed visiting our website and learning about Hillcrest Elementary School. For more information please call the school office at (215) 944-1600.

Modern plastic surgery has opened the doors to an entirely new world of self-improvement. You no longer need to feel self-conscious about an imperfection. Whether it is something you were born with, something that developed through the effects of gravity the sun, pregnancy or whether it occurred due to trauma, anything can be improved. Your outward appearance should be a reflection of how you feel on the inside. Cosmetic surgery affords you the option of making the two coincide. When you choose a plastic surgeon you are entrusting him with your appearance. You should know that his surgical training and experience are of the highest standards, so you can confidently and comfortably put your expectations into his skillful hands. He should be able to understand not only your goals but your aesthetic ideals as well. Once that is agreed upon he should have the knowledge and technical proficiency to fulfill them.
Remember this may be the only surgery you ever have, but at Dr. Hochstein's office we go through this with patients every day so it is very important to us that you feel comfortable not only with the doctor but our entire team. With this in mind we will do our very best to make sure your journey is not only a success, but that you receive all the emotional support you need.

Jimmy Carr's ribbing on 8 Out of 10 Cats saw the Channel 4 comedy show attain its highest ratings in more than two years.
Mocking the host's tax arrangements, panellist Sean Lock said: "We all like to put a bit of money away for a rainy day, don't we? But I think you're more prepared than Noah."
Carr's shamefaced apologies over the K2 scheme saw ratings jump to 2.5 million, compared to just 1.3 million last week.
The episode's unusually good ratings propelled Channel 4 into the top three most-watched channels on Friday evening, a position it normally surrenders to BBC Two.

Ed's Auto has been ripping off their customers since day one. Their practices are fraudulent and illegal. It is amazing that they are still in business.

#3 UPDATE Employee
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 03, 2012POSTED: Tuesday, July 03, 2012
I would just like to clarify a few discrepencies with this report on behalf of Ed's USA Auto Rentals. Although this rental vehicle was paid for by the state of Virginia, the person signing the contract is the actual renter for the vehicle, and thus is bound by the terms and conditions of said agreement. The coverages that were purchased in conjunction with this rental were a collision damage waiver, personal accident insurance, and supplemental liability insurance. As the report clearly states the renter of the vehicle hit a deer with with the vehicle. This would be classified as a comprehensive claim against a standard insurance policy. Comprehensive coverage is not offered from our company as an optional coverage.
We do not allow any customers to repair damages that occur while they are on rent. All repairs are performed at an accredited facility so that damage will be fixed to acceptable standards. This is the policy of almost all rental companies.
The entire statement listed regarding the practices of District Justice Charles Moran are heresay, and highly doubtful.
After receiving a judgment for the amount of damages, we are always willing to set up payment arrangements in order to accomodate our customers. In this particular case, the arrangement was not followed by the defendant. In the state of Pennsylvania it is legal to suspend the driver's license of a party found guilty of damage to leased/ rented property. This is the course of action we were forced to persue once the defendant refused, and still refuses to pay for the damage to our vehicle. Once an account gets to this point, a simple payment arrangement of a few dollars a month is not sufficient to satisfy our account. Our policy is that we will release the suspension of the license with a payment equal to 1/2 of the balance due, and bi-weekly or monthly payments. This agreement must be made in writing.
It is a shame that we are forced to use these means to resolve accounts of this matter, but unfortunatley in most cases we have no other options to recover the money for damages that we have paid to have our vehicles repaired. All other amicable options are persued before accounts reach this status.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Chirinos' sacrifice fly in 9th lifts Rangers past Astros
Robinson Chirinos hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, and the Texas Rangers snapped Houston's 10-game winning streak with a 2-1 win over the Astros on Monday night.
Chirinos' sacrifice fly to center scored Adrian Beltre, who led off the inning with a double off Chad Qualls (0-2), moved to third on Kyle Blanks' single and slid in as Jake Marisnick's throw to the plate went to the backstop.
Keone Kela (2-1) pitched the eighth for the win, and Neftali Feliz pitched the ninth for his third save.
Houston scored in the first as Jose Altuve and George Springer drew walks, worked a double steal and Altuve scored on Evan Gattis' sacrifice fly to make it 1-0.
Jake Smolinski tied it in the eighth with a one-out RBI single to center.
Dallas Keuchel, who was named the AL pitcher of the month for April earlier in the day, allowed one run on five hits with a season-high eight strikeouts in eight innings.
Keuchel retired nine straight during one stretch, including striking out the side in the second and third innings, and 14 out of 15 batters between the first and fifth innings.
Other than his struggles in the first inning, Texas starter Ross Detwiler matched Keuchel, allowing one run and four hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings. Detwiler had his second consecutive solid outing after allowing 18 runs over 12 1-3 innings in his first three starts.
Leonys Martin left the game in the fifth with a left wrist sprain and was going for precautionary X-rays. Martin injured his wrist while diving for Altuve's double in the third, but after the trainer and manager Jeff Banister came out to look at him, Martin stayed in. DeShields replaced Martin in center.
Rangers: OF Josh Hamilton (right shoulder) participated in an extended spring training game Monday in Arizona, going 0 for 4. Hamilton was acquired from the Los Angeles Angels on April 27. ... 1B Mitch Moreland hit in the batting cages Monday. Moreland has been on the DL since April 29, retroactive to April 28, for left elbow surgery.
Rangers: LHP Wandy Rodriguez (0-1) will make his third start of the season for Texas in the second game of the three-game series. Rodriguez, who was in the Astros' organization for the 14 years of his career, allowed four runs on five hits with five walks over 4 1-3 innings in his last start Wednesday against Seattle.
Astros: RHP Scott Feldman (2-2) will look to win his third straight decision and continue his string of three consecutive starts Tuesday against his former team. Feldman has allowed seven runs over 19 2-3 innings in his last three starts following a 0-2 start.

Shedding a light on domestic violence Third candlelight vigil brings awareness to national, local epidemic By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Alife saver. - Literally. That's what the Comal County Women's Shelter was for Mary, family violence survivor. She spoke to the gathering of about 35 at Main Plaza last night for the Center's third annual Candlelight Vigil. "I would have never been able to leave the situation I was in without the shelter, because I would be on the street. And with two small children I didn't know what else to do. To mc it was a life saver," said Mary. The vigil is held each year to remember bartered women who were killed, honor survivors of domestic violence, and celebrate the efforts of those w orking to end violence against women and children. For most of us, home is a place of warmth and unconditional love, according to Chante Mazy, executive director of the Center "However, for many Americans, this is not true. For thousands of women and children in this country, the home is a place of unspeakable violence and extraordinary tear," said Mazy. 1993 was the deadliest year for women in Texas, with 161 women killed by their intimate partners, said Robert Konkel, Chairman of the Center's Board of Directors. "We all have to be aware. And we all have to make sure that everyone around us is aware of what's going on," he said. Konkel reminded the gathering that having the new Women's Shelter is up and running is reason to celebrate. "Unfortunately, we're full, and have been since the new shelter's been there, he said The Comal County Women's Shelter building is spacious and comfortable, with furnishings like those in a middle class home. Bedrooms are in two wings, one for families and one for single women. The two living areas are designed to make the residents feel comfortable and safe, according to second shift staff Margarita Randolph. One has a large screen TV and the "quiet living area" has bookshelves. But what goes on inside the building is the cause for celebration. Women fleeing abusive situations are sheltered there from a few days to a maximum of 42 days. Gradually in the safe, nurturing environment of the shelter, many undergo transformations. Ofelia Espinoza and her two young children went to the shelter about 18 months ago, helpless and terrified. "I didn't know where Herald-Zeitung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL Dr. Mary Galdarnick listens to last night's spsaksr who was a victim of spousal abuse. I was going to live, and I didn't •>Sh. was just Sitting have transportation.

"I've come a long way," time I Mid 'This just she said can't happen again- The Women's Center provides This it horrible, this for all of the residents' needs — poor woman sitting shelter, food, clothing, grooming hare all by herself."' items — whatever is necessary. . Bill Schroeder "But we have our rules. You have former DA to with so many together," said --------- - Randolph. Chores arc assigned to each resident at meetings held twice weekly. Lists are posted for residents to check when the work is done The shelter becomes the women's living space and the women cooperate with each other, forming strong tics, according to Program Coordinator Patty Cook. "It's neat to sec how the women help each other. It touches your heart to sec how they support each other." The Women's Shelter offers a wide range of services to help residents help themselves. Among them arc individual peer counseling, support groups, legal advocacy, community liaison to a host of available area services. The shelter also provides for the special needs of children. The playroom is stocked with books and toys The Alternative Choice Program offers curriculum based support groups for children two to 12 years old. "They've done wonderful counseling with my children," said Mary. The journey from an abusive relationship to self-reliance and self-esteem can be a hard one, said Espinoza "A lot of women don't realize how strong they are starting over. I found the strength and the support through the community and through the Women's Center," she said. "There are a lot of success stories." The Women's Center began in 1985 as a grass roots movement by local women. It gained the impetus to move forward when then District Attorney Bill Schroeder became involved. Schroeder had a case where he dealt with an abused woman about 60 years of age. Her children lived out of town so she had no one locally to turn to for help "She was just sitting outside in the hallway crying, all alone And at that time I said, 'This just can't happen again. This is horrible, this poor woman sitting here all by herself.' I guess it was that one little instant that set the fuse, so to speak," said Schroeder. Schroeder sought the help of the San Marcos Women's Shelter for initial organizational ideas. The Center opened the doors of its first shelter in 1988, in a small tw'o-bedroom, one-bathroom house in the city. In April of 1988 the first family was sheltered in this structure. Dwindling funds caused the shelter to close rn late 1989. but in 1990 a Victims of Crime Act grant allowed the shelter to reopen It has steadily increased funding and services since then, culminating in the opening of the new Comal County Women's Shelter in September 1994. The $268,000 structure, funded by numerous grants and private citizen contributions, can accomodate up to 27 residents. "We have sometimes been overwhelmed by the help we've received from the community. It's been incredible,'' said Patty Cook. I The Center has trained advocates on 24-hour call to help sexual and family assault victims. The 24-hour crisis telephone number is 620-HELP Fraser may face recall election By TECLO J. GARCIA Staff Writer Paul Fraser Speculation that Mayor Paul Fraser will be recalled by petition is irrelevant to the lawsuit filed against Fraser attorney Ed Nolan said Thursday. Sources, including Fraser and Nolan, have told the Herald-Zeitung that a movement is underway within the community to force a recall election by way of petition. However, Fraser and Nolan were unsure of who was behind the effort. Nolan, who is representing Fraser, said if the civil lawsuit was strictly to decide which man would sit on city council, he would not have taken the case "I live out in Comal County, I don't care," he said. "But if you look at the allegations of the petition and the things printed in the paper, they are very serious accusations that have been leveled against several good people who work for the city, who work in the election process and the integrity of the city's election process itself. All of these have been called into question." Nolan said it would easier for Fraser to face the recall rather than to deal with the suit. But he said that move may leave several city employees "hanging in the wind." "It would leave the future of every city election in jeopardy," he said. "If we have a situation where every time someone wins that some group does not want to win there is a lawsuit, we are not going to get any public spirited citizens to run." The city charter says that a recall can not be instituted until six months after an election has taken place. It also says that any elected official may be recalled on the grounds of incompetency or misconduct of malfeasance in riffler ' " —v Another stipulation to the recall for council members elected by district is tHStt the petitfen circulated asking for the recall must be signed by at least 30 percent of the number of votes cast in the last regular district council election in that district.

The move by Dribell forcing Fraser to use other methods of recording depositions of witnesses Fraser's lawyer said could not make it to the courtroom, could cost the Mayor thousands of dollars "Realistically the cost would be between $10,000 and $15,000," said Ed Nolan, who is representing Fraser free of charge. "Its obviously prohibited " Although the City of New Braunfels has intervened on Fraser's behalf? the city council never approved a measure to pay for his fees, which now have exceed over $6,000, according to the Mayor.
