Tax Scandal's Mystery Man
From all appearances it's business as usual for financial consultant Mario Staggl. The 43-year-old married father of two continues to report for work at a modest three-story building in his native Liechtenstein, the tiny principality of 35,000 between the Austrian and Swiss Alps. He answers calls and e-mails as before. When friends stop by his office, they're greeted by an affable assistant.
Half a world away, however, Staggl is in deep trouble. Last month he failed to appear in U.S. federal court in Fort Lauderdale to answer charges that he helped a billionaire hide $200 million from the IRS. After that, prosecutors branded him a fugitive. Staggl's partner in the alleged scheme, former UBS private banker Bradley Birkenfeld, was expected to plead guilty on June 19—and to implicate colleagues and wealthy U.S. clients. It would be another black eye for UBS, already battered by subprime—related losses.
Yet the Staggl scandal barely merits notice in Liechtenstein, which rivals Switzerland as one of the world's most prominent tax havens. Tax evasion isn't considered a major offense here, so Staggl may not be extradited; local newspaper editor Tino Quaderer call the charges "no big deal." So far Staggl doesn't seem inclined to fly to the States to dispute allegations that he set up secret accounts and offshore companies for Birkenfeld's client. Staggl declined to comment. "It's all too much," says Staggl's attorney, Andreas Schurti, declining BusinessWeek's interview request.
A Savvy Operator, but Dour
Despite Staggl's silence, a portrait of this mystery man emerges from court documents, regulatory filings, and company reports, as well as interviews with associates and authorities in the U.S. and Europe. It shows Staggl to be a savvy, if dour, operator for a roster of notorious clients, including an heir to Britain's Tesco grocery store fortune, a penny stock promoter, and an alleged smuggler of atomic bomb secrets.
For decades, some wealthy people have called on Liechtenstein bankers to hide their cash—honestly earned or ill—gotten—from the prying eyes of tax collectors and regulators. Some are uneasy about the perceptions. "The banking community in Liechtenstein stands for privacy and confidentiality," says Michael Lauber, director of the Liechtenstein Bankers Assn., "but not tolerance for financing terrorism, money laundering, organized crime, or corruption."
Staggl, who attended the Liechtenstein Trustee School in the early 1990s, has been on the banking scene since at least 1995. That year he and Klaus Biedermann, a former member of the Liechtenstein Banking Commission, co-founded a firm called New Haven Trust. Bypassing Vaduz, the principality's financial center, they set up shop in nearby Schaan, a town in a picturesque valley known for denture making.
Soon Staggl was helping a host of wealthy clients, some of them quite colorful. His services proved valuable to Dame Shirley Porter, an heir to the Tesco grocery fortune and a supporter of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. During the late 1990s, Porter was fighting charges in Britain that she rigged elections by evicting low-income residents from public housing and replacing them with well-to-do Conservative Party voters. Facing penalties of more than 20 million pounds, the Porters moved the majority of their wealth to offshore accounts, according to British authorities. Staggl, a stocky man who favors expensive suits, acted as a director for at least one entity, Zollikon Investments, which was registered in the British Virgin Islands, another popular place to hide money.
Coming Up with the Cash
In 2002, Porter wrote to her son, John R.C. Porter, explaining that she needed cash. Shortly thereafter Staggl authorized changes in a loan made by Zollikon to Telos, a U.S. defense contractor owned primarily by Porter's son. The deal allowed Telos to get a new loan and funnel nearly $3 million to the Porters, according to regulatory filings. John Porter didn't respond to requests for comment.
Around that time, Staggl was also working with Claude Greaves, a penny stock promoter and tax cheat convicted in an unrelated matter. New Haven was the Liechtenstein affiliate of ICM International, a consortium of tax consultants and offshore incorporators organized by Greaves, a native of Grenada. People familiar with the company say Greaves and his crew turned to Staggl when they needed to squirrel away proceeds from Grenada's defunct Salisbury Merchant Bank and three small British brokerages that sold dubious stocks. Court-appointed liquidators traced the money to three accounts Staggl set up at Liechtenstein's Neue Bank. British authorities investigated, but no charges were filed after Neue agreed to return the money. Neue declined to comment. "I've known Mr. Staggl a long time," says Greaves, who is awaiting trial in London for an unrelated alleged stock scam. "I don't believe what's written about him."
It wasn't the only time Staggl got mixed up in penny stocks. In 2006, he worked with Toronto financier Morrie Tobin to drum up investors for Calibre Energy and Standard Drilling, whose shares soared and crashed within 12 months. Working both sides of the Atlantic, the pair arranged meetings between bankers and prospective investors. Tobin says his "projects [with Staggl] are not related to the indictment."
Perhaps Staggl's most infamous client is Gotthard Lerch, a German engineer on trial in Stuttgart for allegedly supplying sensitive nuclear technology to Libya and the network of Abdul Qadeer Khan, considered by many to be the father of Pakistan's atomic bomb. Staggl managed money for Lerch—but gave up information to German investigators after two rounds of interrogation. In a June 1 article in the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Staggl said he "never noticed anything suspicious" about Lerch's transactions and that they "didn't involve enormous sums." Even so, authorities have asked Staggl to testify in July. It isn't clear whether he'll comply, but the German court could offer Staggl immunity from extradition to the U.S. while traveling to and from Stuttgart to testify.
Patriot Games
Staggl has gotten creative in the wake of the Patriot Act and other laws that empower governments to probe bank accounts more aggressively. In 2002, for example, Staggl established a New Haven office in Denmark. Unlike Liechtenstein, Denmark doesn't have a reputation as a tax haven, giving the accounts an extra layer of respectability. "They were looking for a jurisdiction that was kosher," says a person familiar with Staggl.
Staggl showed some fancy financial footwork in moving money around for Igor Olenicoff, the Russian émigré and California developer at the center of the Florida indictment. As part of his services, Staggl used a shell company known as Landmark Settlement. The entity had a complicated—and therefore difficult to trace—parentage. Headquartered in Denmark, Landmark was owned by a company in the Bahamas but controlled by a Liechtenstein trust, according to incorporation records. Adding to a veneer of propriety, Landmark was audited by BDO ScanRevision, the Danish affiliate of accounting firm BDO International. Among Olenicoff's other repositories: an account at Neue, the same bank used by Greaves. Olenicoff pled guilty to tax evasion in December, agreeing to pay $52 million in back taxes and perform community service.
Now U.S. and European authorities are focusing more intensely on Liechtenstein. As part of a probe into tax cheats, the U.S. Senate's permanent subcommittee on investigations is focusing on Americans with accounts at LGT Group, a bank controlled by Liechtenstein's royal family. Earlier this year, German authorities arrested Deutsche Post Chief Executive Klaus Zumwinkel on tax evasion charges after an LGT insider sold secret records to spies enlisted by the German government. Zumwinkel denies the accusations. "LGT does not encourage or aid in tax evasion. It is in contact with the relevant authorities to cooperate," says an LGT spokesman.
With Staggl's fate unclear, a few of his associates are distancing themselves from him. When news of his indictment broke in May, Principle Capital persuaded him to resign his directorships at a number of the European money manager's subsidiaries. Partners at New Haven's Denmark branch say he's no longer involved. BDO, meanwhile, says it quit auditing the Landmark vehicle Staggl set up for Olenicoff. At this rate, Staggl may soon find his bunker in Liechtenstein lonely.

S&P Keeps Strong Buy on Dell
Dell Inc. (DELL ): Reiterates 5 STARS (strong buy)
Analyst: Megan Graham-Hackett
Dell reaffirmed guidance for April-quarter revenues and earnings per share, in line with our model, but now expects to spend $2 billion to buy back stock in the quarter, more than double its prior guidance. Based on day one of its analyst meeting, we believe printers are growing stronger than our original estimate, but Dell is getting stretched in services. As Dell becomes even more disciplined in pursuing only very profitable growth areas, in our opinion, we see 16%+ revenue growth over the next two years, down marginally from fiscal 2004 (ending January) through fiscal 2005. However, we still view this growth level as attractive vs. peers.
SanDisk Corp. (SNDK ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Richard Stice
We believe SanDisk is well positioned to benefit from the expanding consumer devices market. In the fourth quarter, SanDisk derived nearly two-thirds of its revenue from the digital camera market, which rose by 36% during 2004, according to research firm IDC. While we expect shipment growth to moderate in 2005, we think SanDisk's revenues will be aided by a more diversified product line. We are raising our 12-month target price to $29 from $25, based on our updated discounted-cash-flow and relative valuation metrics. But we would not add to positions, given that we expect more aggressive pricing by competitors.
Fairchild Semiconductor (FCS ): Reiterates 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Amrit Tewary
Fairchild announced that Dr. Mark Thompson, currently an executive vice president in its Manufacturing and Technology Group, will succeed Kirk Pond as President and CEO on May 4. Pond will remain chairman of the board, and Thompson's agreement provides for him to be elected to the board. We believe Thompson has the necessary background to be an effective leader at Fairchild. Also, although the changes will result in a net addition of one affiliated director (including former executives) to the board, we view favorably from a corporate governance standpoint the separation of the CEO and chairman positions.
Computer Associates (CA ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Zaineb Bokhari
Computer Associates agrees to acquire a provider of network service management software Concord Communications for $350 million, composed of $17 cash per Concord share and the assumption of $20 million of debt. Subject to approvals, the deal values Concord at about 3.3 times 2004 sales and is expected to close in the next three to four months. Computer Associates expects this acquisition to be neutral to fiscal 2006 (ending March) earnings per share and slightly accretive in fiscal 2007. Concord had about $69 million in cash on its balance sheet at Mar. 31 and about 640 employees. We will revisit our estimates for Computer Associates following its morning conference call today.
Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY ): Reiterates 5 STARS (strong buy)
Analyst: Michael Souers
February-quarter earnings per share of 59 cents, vs. 47 cents is 4 cents better than our estimate. Revenue growth of 13%, including same-store-sales growth of 5.1%, slightly exceeded our forecasts. While most competitors saw flat to shrinking margins as a result of intensifying competition and promotional markdowns, Bed Bath & Beyond's operating margin expansion of 150 basis points was remarkable, in our view. However, we are adjusting our fiscal 2006 (ending February) earnings per share estimate to $1.90 from $1.92 due to the inclusion of stock option expense of 7 cents. We are initiating a fiscal 2007 estimate of $2.17, and raising our target price to $49 from $45.

From Earthquaker:
The Afterneath is an otherworldly reverberation machine that uses a swarm of short delays to create wild and cavernous reverbs and scattered, short rhythmic delays with bizarre characteristics. The reverb created is beyond massive and goes well beyond the territory of most reverb pedals. The controls allow you to stretch, smudge, swell and even self-oscillate into messy ambient washes of sound. The Length control adjusts the decay of the reverb; anything from shorter hall through endless plate style reverbs can be achieved. The Reflect knob controls the regeneration, basically feeding the output back through to create an even deeper otherworldly dreamscape. The Drag control lets you pull the reverb through time by slowing down or speeding up the reverb. The Diffuse knob adds control over spread of the reverb ranging from identifiable attack to a wash of smooth reverb. The Dampen control adjusts the tone of the reverb, both stinging bright tones and warmer swell. The end result is an ethereal, ambient wash that goes from hall to an infinite glitched-out orchestra pit warming up in a canyon at the bottom of another canyon inside a well.

The momentum for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to cut ties with CB Aqib Talib is growing.
And former Buccaneers DT Chris Hovan is driving much of that momentum. He told WQYK-AM last week that the Bucs have given too many chances to Talib.
And he placed blame for that on Bucs head coach Raheem Morris.
"I mean, how many times do you let this guy go off the hook, though?" Hovan said, via NFL.com. "How many times? I mean, how many people does he have to hurt? How many times is he going to get sued? Or how many times is he going to go to jail before you get it right? Who is going to step in? Has Raheem stepped in? I have not seen Raheem step in."
Talib turned himself into police after a March incident in which cops allege he and his mother fired a gun at the boyfriend of Talib's sister.
That's just the latest incident for Talib. He was suspended one game last season after he had been charged with assaulting a taxi driver. He was also involved in a fight in 2009 at an offseason workout.
For Hovan, the chances have run out. And he wondered if Talib's talent -- he was a 2008 first-round pick -- and his connection to Morris -- who used to be the secondary coach -- are factors.
"(Talib) has been given too much leeway from Raheem Morris because, I guess, coach Morris has favoritism towards him because he played defensive back," said Hovan, played for the Bucs from 2005-2009.
"Again, they are giving this young man way too much leeway. Any other individual would have been cut way before this. But Aqib's got so much talent -- his talent goes through the ceiling. But you can't have these offseason issues and you can't keep covering for this kid because they're saying it's OK for what he is doing."
The Bucs are not able to make any personnel moves with Talib -- or any other player -- until after the NFL lockout ends.

Sea Kayaking
There are more miles of coastline, more bays and inlets and more islands within the inside passage that you can cover in a full summer of sea-kayaking, much less in a week or 5 days.
Cruise off to the many distant islands, fjords and glaciers for half day, all day and overnight wilderness trips. These fully guided excursions can be half day combined with other activities such as fishing, mt. biking, beach-combing (major-league shore lunch with some walking to justify the calories) or wildlife viewing.
The are also dozens of small lakes on Prince of Wales Island to explore by canoe or kayak. We have four nice lakes within a fifteen to twenty minute drive from Whale Pass. The island even boasts two 'canoe trails' for extended paddling trips.

Besiman Tov: WEDDINGS IN THE OLD YISHUV IN JERUSALEM
In traditional societies, a wedding is the most important event in a person's life.
Descriptions of marriages, from when a boy and a girl reached marriageable age to the end of the seven days of nuptial feasting, are to be found in the memoirs of Jerusalemites who lived through the momentous hundred years that stretches from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.
A period during which innumerable changes took place in how Jerusalem looked,
its rulers, languages, dress and customs.
All these changes inevitably impacted on the people of the Old Yishuv in Jerusalem and on this crucial event in their lives.
Originally a pasquil or pasquinade (wall poster) was a wall newspaper that enabled individuals and groups to hold up to ridicule authoritative public figures, to publicly criticize the powers that be and to impart to the public information withheld from them.
According to Prof. Menachem Friedman, at the end of the nineteenth century conditions in the Ashkenazi Old Yishuv in Jerusalem were close to perfect for the growth of the phenomenon of "pashkavilim". During the Mandate, pashkavilim served as important weapons in the fight waged by the fanatical extremists who came out against the Zionist institutions and their allies.
Pashkavilim literature reached its height between 1918 and 1935. The Balfour Declaration (November 2, 1917) and the British conquest (December 1917) of
the country impacted on the Zionist Movement's status as the sole legitimate
representative of the Jewish people. The attempt made by the Zionist leadership
in Palestine to unify the Jewish community in Jerusalem under a single elected leadership posed a threat to the financial status of the kollels, the heads of
charitable and benevolent organizations, and a number of rabbis and Torah sages.
The fanatical extremists, for whom Jerusalem was a sanctuary from the ravages
of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment), were petrified that by the attempts of the "secular intellectuals" to dominate the Holy City.
Fourth Aliya (1924) immigrants, including Gur Hasidim from Poland, came to
Palestine out of a desire to become part of the country's growing Zionist community,
not to assimilate in the Old Yishuv. At the same time the Old Yishuv's young
generation was moving away from religion and tradition.
The extremists looked on despondently as their ranks dwindled, and Jewish Palestine and the Holy City of Jerusalem underwent major changes. Desecration of the Sabbath and eating unkosher food became commonplace.
Most of the people who came to the country in the Fifth Immigration (1933-1939) were secular.
The "Jewish street", to the chagrin of the fanatical extremists, became more modern. With the development of transport, ways of enjoying Shabbat changed. "Extremists'
fury was particularly sparked by football matches played on Shabbat and the Jewish festivals.
Pashkavilim enabled them to vent their frustration on the walls.
Because they are an immediate reaction to some event which is common knowledge, these wall posters are anonymous and undated.
Most pashkavilim in the exhibition are about matters very dear to a fanatic's hearts - the importance of Shabbat and the festivals. The age-old custom of a call to prayer
is a traditional way of reacting to catastrophe (drought, edicts, etc.), education and modesty.
The exhibits come from the collections of the museum and of Binyamin Kluger.
English-speaking families can now enjoy an interactive self-guided tour at the Yitzhak Kaplan Old Yishuv Court Museum that takes them back in time to discover life in the Old City of Jerusalem over a hundred years ago.


text: Steve Clever Siders is the man behind the open mic By Bill Lynch January 18, 2012 Story Share Chip Ellis Oliver Dawgs front man and open mic champion Steve Clever Siders believes open mic nights are an important way for budding musicians to advance their music and grow as performers and artists. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A kind of weary energy swirled around musician and ubiquitous open mic emcee Steve Clever Siders as he waited outside The Charleston Cellar on Capitol Street. He looked a little pale and a bit thin, like he could fall down anywhere if given half a chance."I was up all night," he explained. "Insomnia."The 30-year-old said he's a regular sufferer, but that's really only a side effect of the greater problem. Siders has Crohn's Disease, a debilitating immune deficiency disease that can cause abdominal pain, bleeding, internal upset and a host of other problems.With medication, a special diet and lifestyle changes, the disease can often be managed, even put into remission, but never cured. Some sufferers of the disease, especially when symptoms are active, can have trouble functioning."I've had it for years," he said. "I could tell I had it from what I read, what I saw on TV, but I didn't get diagnosed until 2010."Siders said he waited so long to see a doctor because he didn't have insurance until 2010."After I got the diagnosis, I spent a week in the hospital getting cleaned out, getting medicated," he said.He's struggled with it ever since, and some days it's very hard. Having Crohn's Disease makes doing a lot of things difficult, but it hasn't stopped him from playing music or hosting open mic nights at The Charleston Cellar and The Blue Parrot and performing on his own or with his band, Oliver Dawgs. "I can't work a regular job," he said. "Crohn's affects every part of my life. Most of the time, I only get a couple of hours of solid sleep and the worst part is the pain, but I love doing the music. I love the music and I want to help other people be part of the Charleston music scene."Siders said it took him long enough to join the local music community. He'd like to make it a little easier for others.Siders got started in music when he was only 9 years old."I was banging on drums. Then I got into poetry around 11. It was all loss and love," he said and snickered. "I started singing when I was 12 and began playing in a [Christian] band with my brother by the time I was 16." But by the time he was 18, he'd moved away from live music. He'd embraced hip hop, spun records as a club DJ and cut tracks for a hip hop project that never came to fruition."You can still find stuff online if you really look," he said.He drifted out of music for a while then picked up the guitar in 2007 and later started playing the open mic night at Griff's in South Charleston. Siders said that through those shows, he built up his courage a bit, became more comfortable with his songwriting and struck up a friendship and musical partnership with Mike Selbe. Eventually Sider joined Selbe's band, Happy Minor. The group folded several months ago."That was Mike's band. Good guys, but there were some outside forces," he said, trailing off. "Mike and I are still friends."After the breakup, Sider has stayed busy. In July he formed Oliver Dawgs, his own band."It's a kind of Motown, white boy funk and reggae," he said. "We're indie rock with some dance and jazz."Siders has also become a champion of local open mics. The ones he hosts are at The Charleston Cellar on Sundays and Wednesdays and at The Blue Parrott on Tuesdays. He also oversees a singer/songwriter night Thursdays at The Charleston Cellar and performs at the club as Steve Clever and Friends on Saturday nights.He thinks it's important to have open mics and open stages. Music scenes need to be refreshed constantly. New talent has to be added to replace musicians who've moved on or just given up. "I think we're here for the local artists," he said. "We make it possible for people to get out and play."About his own musical aspirations, Siders doesn't know for sure. His health presents problems. Still, he dreams big."I just want to build," he said. "My intention is to build and give back musically. I'd love it if I made it, you know? I'd try to bring artists from here up with me."Reach Bill Lynch at email@example.com or 304-348-5195.

Every week, Lucy will give you top moneysaving tips on getting the best deals. From the High Street shops to the taxman, we'll show you the top bets
Don't be a fuel… claim
More than 300,000 London households — one in 10 — are entitled to help with fuel bills, but thousands aren't claiming the money. Don't let the energy giants keep the cash: phone the Home Heat Helpline (0800 33 66 99) or visit www.homeheathelpline.org.uk for free, impartial and confidential help to connect to bills support worth an average of £160. Guidance available includes discounts, rebate schemes, grants for insulation, and even new boilers. The other obvious way to cut bills is use less energy. Turning a thermostat down by 1 deg C could cut annual heating bills by up to 10% and save around £100 a year; turn radiators down or off in rooms you don't use every day; turn appliances such as TVs and phone chargers off at the wall rather than leaving them on standby; replace normal light bulbs with energy-efficient ones; regularly defrost the freezer to make sure it's operating at full efficiency and move furniture away from radiators and heaters to allow heat to circulate around the room.
Secret presents
Deal-hunters, you could find some cheap Christmas presents at one of the myriad secret sales sites. Names include BrandAlley.com and SecretSales.com. Mark Pearson, the founder of voucher website MyVoucherCodes.co.uk has just launched a similar sales site offering deals on fashion, homeware, gardening and food and drink from brands including Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana and French Connection, at HushHush.com. It promises to offer up to 75% off brands.
It pays to be early
Leaving Christmas shopping until the last minute can be an expensive mistake: the best deals arrive in the shops around December 12, apparently, as worried retailers scramble to sell inventory and cut prices. Other present-buying tips from Save.co.uk include: "Follow your favourite shops on Twitter, Facebook and blogs to stay up to date on deals. Make a list, and check it twice: Research shows the longer people spend in a shop, the more likely they are to buy more. The same goes for online shopping. Save yourself time and money by making a list and sticking to it."

Phelps, 29, was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the tenth round of the 1996 draft. During the 2004 season in which he had a two home run, seven RBI game for the Jays, he was traded to Cleveland. Phelps moved to Tampa Bay in 2005 and then Detroit in 2006, where he spent the entire season in Triple-A. In fact, Phelps is familiar with the Triple-A shuttle, with 2004 being the only season prior to 2007 in which the Alaskan native spent the full season in the majors.
The 6-foot-3, 215 pounder signed with the Orioles in November, 2006 only to be claimed in the Rule 5 draft a month later by the New York Yankees. Always a strong performer in spring training (career line .355/.401/.629), Phelps not only made the Yankees in 2007, but earned the nod as their Opening Day starter at first base. However, it didn't last as he was waived in June.
Phelps was claimed by the Pittsburgh Pirates, the first of his seven MLB organizations that was a member of the National League. He posted a .351/.463/.649 line (BA/OBP/SLG) in 77 at-bats with the Bucs, including a career-high four-hit game on August 23. As a result, it was a minor surprise when the Pirates dropped him from their 40-man roster in November. He cleared waivers and was subsequently released.
In his career, Phelps has put together a .273/.344/.476 line in 1360 career MLB at-bats. Though more effective against lefty hitters (.296/.364/.500), Phelps has been ok against righties, too (.263/.333/.463).
While not known for his glove, Phelps is versatile defensively with his potential role being as a backup to Albert Pujols at first base and as third string, emergency catcher. Yet, making the team is far from assured. With outfielder Chris Duncan able to play first base as well as incumbent reserve Scott Spiezio around, Phelps could end up playing the role of departed Tagg Bozied at first base for Memphis in 2008, serving as major league insurance.
Phelps becomes the Cardinals' ninth non-roster invitee to spring training, joining fellow infielders Rico Washington and D'Angelo Jimenez, catcher Mark Johnson, and pitchers Dewon Brazelton, John Wasdin, Hugo Castellanos, Ron Flores and Cliff Politte.

Active-Cleanse and Probiotics is a gentle yet effective formula that works through the digestive tract to promote toxin elimination and probiotic replenishment. It can be used as part of a detox program or as a stand-alone product for deep internal cleansing. Key ingredients include:
Aloe is prized for its many health benefits and for its unique ability to activate the body's natural detoxification processes. Aloe supports the elimination pathways and helps to clear toxins and waste from the intestinal tract.
Triphala is a balanced blend of "three fruits" that are highly prized in the Ayurvedic tradition. Triphala has been traditionally used to assist natural internal cleansing, to support strong digestion, and to revitalize the body.
To complement the eliminative action of Aloe and Triphala, this formula delivers 9 billion CFU of viable probiotics per day.

MOSCOW – A Russian court Sunday ordered the detention for two months of eight more crew members of a Greenpeace ship who protested against Arctic oil drilling as part of a probe into alleged piracy.
The Lenin District Court in the northern city of Murmansk on Thursday had already ordered the detention of 22 other Greenpeace activists for two months, pending the investigation into suspected piracy after a protest at a Gazprom oil rig on Sept. 18.
With the court's decision Sunday, all 30 members of the Arctic Sunrise icebreaker crew will remain in custody until Nov. 24. Among them are six Britons, four Russians and nationals from 16 other countries.
Kumi Naidoo, executive director of Greenpeace International, said the court's decision was a "blatant attempt to intimidate anyone preventing an oil rush in the Arctic."

Trim Stock Exposure
By Joseph Lisanti
Stocks have done well for the last few months. The S&P 500 gained some 25% from its March 2003 low through the end of July. And though we believe stocks will finish the year fairly strong, there is likely to be some choppiness in the market for a while. We advise removing a modest 5% from equity positions.
Historically, the third quarter is the weakest for stock performance. The month of September has been particularly bad. Since 1928, there have been fewer stock market gains in September than in any other month.
Mark Arbeter, S&P's chief technical analyst, notes that the "500" has been in a tight trading range recently. Though that range can persist, in most cases such narrow movement usually gives way to a breakout one way or the other. Arbeter believes that the next move will be down because few players have booked their profits from the recent advance, investors remain overly bullish and the market appears to have lost some of its momentum.
Our last allocation change was a recommended reduction in bonds from 15% to 10% of investment portfolios. That came immediately after the Federal Reserve lowered its target for the federal funds rate to 1%. On June 25, the date of the Fed's action, the 10-year Treasury note yielded 3.3%. Then bonds plunged in price. At the end of July, the 10-year T-note yielded 4.4%.
The higher bond yields provide increased competition for investors' cash. They also imply a lower fair value for stocks, based on the "Fed model," which compares the yield of the 10-year Treasury to the earnings yield (estimated earnings divided by price) of the index. The higher the Treasury yield rises, the less room stocks have to advance.
We advise switching 5% from stocks into bonds because fixed-income prices could rise a bit after their huge decline. We still see a likely buying opportunity in stocks later this year.

Two youngsters have discovered sometimes it pays to help out the police.
The Wooster Office of Community Policing on Wednesday honored two boys who provided assistance in the investigation of a residential shooting last week along Bardon Street in which two people were wounded.
Recognized for their efforts in locating a handgun that was used in the crime and getting it into the hands of police were Aaron Sines, 8, son of Aaron and Darlene Sines, 373 N. Bauer Road, and Paul Hauter II, 9, son of Catherine and Paul Hauter, 1211 Rebecca St., Apt. B.
Shortly after the shootings occurred in the late afternoon, the boys were playing a game around the shrubbery at the Rebecca Street Apartments off Rebecca Street. Aaron spotted what he initially thought was a toy gun or a cap gun.
"Then I picked it up and felt the barrel and it was heavy, so I thought it might be real," Aaron said.
Aaron showed the .32 caliber five-shot revolver, which was fully loaded, to Paul and together they took it to the house of a nearby friend where there were adults at home. One of the adults took the firearm to police officers working at the crime scene.
"When I saw what it was, I just thought we needed to give it adults," Aaron said.
Catherine Hauter said she was "shocked and angry" when she learned her son had recovered a gun used in a crime that had taken place in the neighborhood.
While both Hauter and Sines admitted their sons got a little lecture on not picking up guns, both hastened to add they were proud of the children for making sure the weapon got into the hands of responsible adults.
"Even though this was a bad situation, hopefully they learned a good lesson from all that," said Darlene Sines.
Wooster Community Policing Officer Dean Klinger, who presented each of the boys with a certificate of appreciation and a $50 bill for their help, said, "Although I laud the public spirit of the boys, I want to remind people that the proper and safe thing to do is not to pick the gun up, but to leave it where you find it and call the police or parent. Any weapon can suddenly go off, especially one that you are not familiar with."
Klinger said the award money came from the police department's illegal firearms project fund. In effect since 1997, the project targets the recovery of illegally carried and used firearms.
As for the boys, both were excited as they considered how their new-found wealth might be spent. When last seen on the hot hazy afternoon, there was considerable discussion going on about ice cream.

Have You Met Rutgers-Newark?
Sandra Skoglund
Sandra Skoglund's artistic creations are such an unusual blending of installation art and photography that critics have trouble classifying her as an artist or a photographer. Some settle for describing the fine arts professor's work as "a balancing act between kookiness and incredible things made somehow plausible" (The New Yorker). For example, in 1998 Skoglund created "Shimmering Madness" for the Paul Robeson Center Art Gallery on the Newark campus. This installation incorporates thousands of painted butterflies, flapping inexplicably on a black background, with life-size mannequins. She is working on a new installation, "Winter," which incorporates ceramic floor pieces.
Other well-known Skoglund works include "The Cocktail Party" (at left), where cheese puffs coat the walls and furniture, as well as the guests, at a party, and "Radioactive Cats," an invasion of green cats into a monochromatic, middle-class kitchen.
Skoglund's works have been exhibited both nationally and internationally in France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Italy and Japan, and photos of her artwork have been published in numerous artbooks, catalogues and magazines.
Skoglund, a Jersey City resident, has taught at Rutgers-Newark since 1976.

Anderson and Larionov headline 2008 Hall of Fame
TORONTO (Reuters) - Former Edmonton Oilers great Glenn Anderson and trail-blazing Russian Igor Larionov headlined the 2008 class inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday.
Linesman Ray Scapinello, who never missed an assignment over a 33-year career, was also enshrined during a gala ceremony.
A standout in the great Soviet Union teams of the 1980s, Larionov won two Olympic gold medals and four world championships before being allowed to realize his dream of playing in the NHL.
Granted permission by Soviet officials to join the Vancouver Canucks in 1989, Larionov's signing paved the way for other Russian greats to move to the NHL.
Nearly 29 years old when he skated in his first NHL game, Larionov expected his North American career to be brief but went on to play 14 seasons, winning three Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings.
The studious center, known as the "Professor," retired in 2004 having scored 169 goals and 644 points in 921 games.
"In 1985 the Vancouver Canucks drafted me in the 11th round realistically thinking I would never be able to come play but four years later myself and five other of my team mates were the first Soviet hockey players to break the barrier," Larionov said.
"Initially thinking I would only play in the NHL for three years, little did I know this would be my 14-year journey in the NHL."
Anderson joined five former Edmonton team mates, Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Jari Kurri, Paul Coffey and Grant Fuhr, who formed the nucleus of the great Oilers side of the 1980s. Continued...

G Rating
I was thinking about how wrestling has introduced 2 new shows this year, Saturday Morning Slam and Main Event. Saturday Morning Slam seems to be an even more watered down and some how more G rated version of wrestling so I was thinking why shouldn't they make one that's more of a 14a show. I think that whats they should do with Main Event if they just throw it on a late enough time kids won't really watch it I think it would be a great way to balance the young and old fans.
Re: G Rating
They couldn't if they wanted to with Linda running for office.
Re: G Rating
They will do anything who is TV-14 because people could uses it against Linda
Re: G Rating
After Linda fucks up once again, WWE should start airing Main Event at mid-night in a TV-14 programming rating.
Re: G Rating
The specific criticisms being levelled against the WWE product by Linda McMahon's political opponents are about things that were actually offensive and the truthful assertion that she looked the other way at drug and steroid abuse. The wellness policy is some shield against the latter, and as the former -- if you can't find a way to appeal to adults without demeaning women, gays, and minorities then I am shocked at your lack of imagination.
I'd love to see a show with some adult-friendly storylines. And by that, I mean they engage adults. Not stunted, cheeto-dust encrusted man-children who don't know how to google porn and thought Faces of Death was quality entertainment.

Debt consolidation can be a viable solution, but it's not right for everyone – particularly if you don't own a home or are unable to make high monthly payments. For many consumers, debt settlement (aka debt negotiation) is the most cost-effective option to pay off debts and avoid filing for bankruptcy.
By allowing Federal Debt Reliefs to negotiate your debt with each of your creditors, you can cut down your debt to a fraction of what you currently owe. Our program is custom-built for each client's current personal and financial situation in order to make the process as affordable as possible.
Our dedicated team of financial professionals has spent years developing, testing, and adjusting our negotiations process in order to produce optimal results for our clients. Through the relationships we've established with creditors, we are able to successfully negotiate the debts of our clients for substantially less than what they owe. We are professional, cooperative, and unlike other credit counseling programs, we work directly for you – not the creditors.
For more information, please complete our brief form for a free, 10-minute evaluation. A representative will contact you soon to discuss how to get started, with no obligation.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Thursday approved AOL Time Warner Inc.'s applications to bring a further four Internet service providers (ISPs) on to its cable Internet system as alternatives to its own ISP service.
The FTC approved Inter.net as an alternative ISP in all markets where AOL Time Warner cable operates, according to an FTC statement. It also approved New York Connect.net Ltd. as a competitor in the New York City area, Internet Junction Corp. in Tampa Bay and central Florida, and South Texas Internet Connections Inc. (STIC.net) in San Antonio, Houston, and Austin, Texas.
The approvals may allow AOL to begin offering service in those markets. The FTC already has approved national ISP Earthlink Inc. as an alternative ISP on AOL's network.
To satisfy FTC concerns concerning AOL's merger with Time Warner Inc., announced last year, AOL Time Warner must offer three alternatives to its own ISP service in each market where it offers cable Internet access. The FTC was concerned about the possibility of the merged company dominating both transmission and content in its cable Internet services.
AOL Time Warner has submitted applications to the FTC to approve a number of additional ISPs, both local and national, including United Online Inc., the large national ISP formed through the merger of NetZero Inc. and Juno Online Services Inc.

Lubricant boiling / mystery part
Dear all,
Greetings from Chile , South America....Not sure how this all works , so all help appreciated. I have a 2001 4L sport wrangler which has been great. however, now 10 yrs old a few problems that nobody locally can resolve.
1) When I stop the engine the cooling liquid reservoir starts to shake like mad as baubbles appear. the engine dones not pass 100 degrees and does not appear to be losing fluid. I saw some similar issues with people on You Tube , but never saw the answers.
2) My heating ceased to work and my mecanic says this is because the motor unit controlling the hot water valve has ceased to work. I could not find the part on the manual diagrams from specialist jeep stores , and after sending photos of the part got not reply. Would anybody be able to help me identify this part.
many thanks for staying with me. Any help appreciated.....Steve Chile
for issue no. 1 replace the radiator cap/ for issue no. 2 check the temperature blend door and there is no hot water shut off valve just a blend door
Heater stoped working also?....replace the thermostat...
I have seen a few cases of electrolysis in the 4.0 eat the impeller on the water pump and cause similar symptoms. The worst was barely out of warranty when it finally quit blowing hot air. You can test this by removing a heater hose from the core and starting the engine. Coolant should flow out rapidly from either the hose or the core depending on which hose you remove. If it doesn't the water pump isn't pumping any water.
Thanks for all your help......I live outside US but will be visiting Portlnd Oregan (staying close PDX) in a weeks time. Any good parts dealers anybody could recommend in that City ?
Autozone.. oreilly auto.. NAPA all should be in the area

I think it is a catch-all place for people who have issues with traditional religions, but they want the fellowship of others or they want some sort of spiritual element in their life.
I think little children sometimes have a simpler and more sensible approach, but UUs can do what they want because I want the freedom to believe in my own way.
I've had two friends who went Unitarian. One was the daughter of a liberal Baptist who didn't believe in Hell and another was a Charismatic Christian who made his wife have an abortion because she was pregnant with a trisomic child.
Evangelical Churches and Catholics could probably welcome some of these people too (the Baptist girl married a Catholic), but probably don't and instead they drift into UU churches.

I wouldn't want to see their faces. I'm not sure that I even want to see Heath Ledger in Batman. Those preview pictures of him are creepy. I'm not commenting on his destination. I want to be clear about that.
Many people who are not atheists are also not Christians, not in the "Christ is the only way" vein anyway. What do you think, and I'm only basing this on your words here, about dialoguing with people who are not atheists, but not Christians?

Those quotes are all from the UUA's own web site so I guess they should be considered "true".
The Compact Oxford English Dictionary of Current English defines "cult" inter alia as "a small religious group regarded as ... imposing excessive control over members". I at least don't think the Unitarian Universalist Church fits that definition of "cult".
To give an apropos example, I myself am a supporter of the death penalty even though the UAA has been on record since 1961 as opposing capital punishment. And I'm allowed to dissent.

"blank check" I think your full of sh*t.
When ever a so called "christian" church calls another Christian church a "cult" I'am reminded of
those who seek the splinter in anothers eye but fails to find the log in his own.
Your rush to want to execute this Neo-Con, hate-filled, religious fanatic makes me wonder why.
Could it be that he'll "spill the beens" on born-again bible-thumpers who are looking for a political kingdom on earth.

Polarizations and fragmentation is a main culprit is sociol evil today. From the classroom to the boardrooms and all in between. For instance, the thought form this sick person was working with. Liberal Church. Liberal agenda. Which indicates he thought himself a Conservative? More polarizations go by "left wing' and "right wing". I dont have any wings and I am convinced people who use such generalizations have no clue as to thier origen. Was there a giant bird who had two wings on either side of it that were so polar opposite the bird never flew? Lets look at the word 'Conservative' to try to grasp the mindset of this extreme example and tragedy.
When did 'conservative' come into being as a postion of political/sociol opinion? One scholar puts consevatism this way;
To put conservatism in a bottle with a label is like trying to liquefy the atmosphere The difficulty arises from the nature of the thing. For conservatism is less a political doctrine than a habit of mind, a mode of feeling, a way of living."(R.J.White)
It stems philosophically from the Age of Reason, which lead directly to the French Revolution, and can be seen rising up around 1800 to 1840 in America.
Liberal, however is the foundation of Acedemia itself going back hundreds of years. An education was not an education that did not contain the 'Seven Liberal Arts'. Living is an 'art'. Being a man or woman is an 'art'. One has to look at the 'reasonable' acceptance of the Behaviorists in the early 1950's to find rise to life and its arts being eroded by science in sociol psychology. Polluted might be a better word. And Conservatism today is shallow and vacant without the 'arts' of liberal thought. For , they think it more wise to continue the prejudice, with the "reason" involved, than to cast away the coat of prejudice. That being Liberalism.

To read how this tragedy jump starts 'prejudicial' opinion about the Unitarian Church is another example of polarizations at oppurtune time. Even though a tragedy has occured, it will not be so solemn to grieve the loss of life without disparaging upon the beliefs of those who perished.
Jesus was a Liberal. Anyone who can read the Sermon on the Mount and come away thinking it written by a conservative would be mistaken.
And where exactly does Left Wing and Right Wing derive thier origen? How many crosses are on Golgatha? Is not one on the Left and the Right? What does Golgatha mean translated from Hebrew? Mound of the Skull. Do we not have a left and right hemisphere in our brains in that skull?
I cant imagine anyone thinking with half of thier brain, either left or right side (L). Nor that Bird with two very different wings ever gaining flight while suffering thier polarizations.
#679 Jul 30, 2008
The terms Left Wing and Right Wing derived from where one sat in Congress. Upon entering, the Democrats sit on the left and the Republicans sit on the right. Those who were "Centrists" sat near the aisle. The more "Right" or "Left" your "leaning" was, the further you sat from the "enemy" - thus - "far right" and "far left".

. And Conservatism today is shallow and vacant without the 'arts' of liberal thought. For , they think it more wise to continue the prejudice, with the "reason" involved, than to cast away the coat of prejudice. That being
"antagonism towards" Liberalism.

Francois Clemmons still popular from "Mr. Rogers Neighboorhood"

Middlebury College artist in residence Francois Clemmons played the role of Officer Clemmons on the popular television program, "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood." It has been on the air since 1968, and is now in reruns. VPR's Jane Lindholm sat down with Clemmons in his Middlebury home and asked him to share some of his memories of being on the seminal PBS program.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew will not play in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers due to a foot injury. In his place, RB Rashad Jennings will get the start. MJD has an "arch sprain" according to head coach Mike Mularkey "based on the pressure and where the initial swelling comes from." Apparently Jones-Drew injured himself on his very first carry and then came out of the game after his second. Jacksonville will likely need to sign an additional reserve running back since Montell Owens sustained a shoulder injury.
Fantasy Analysis:
Jacksonville ranks 32nd in the NFL in total offense (235.8 ypg). For some context, 17 teams in the NFL average more than that in passing yards alone. Even though Jennings is a rather talented backup, it's going to be difficult for him to gain any traction as Jacksonville's only viable offensive playmaker. Green Bay's defense will be able to stack the box and take away the run in order to force the Jags into 2nd/3rd and long. If you're in serious need of a backup, by all means, Jennings is likely the best waiver wire option available, but that doesn't mean he'll be able to capitalize on this opportunity in Week 8.
