The Incidence of the Corporate Profits Tax Revisited: A Post Keynesian Approach
Who bears the burden of the corporate income tax has been a topic of considerable discussion—and disagreement—among economists. Analyses within a post Keynesian framework have not, however, been included in the most widely cited literature surveys. In this working paper, Anthony J. Laramie constructs a post Keynesian model (á la Kalecki) in order to estimate the short-and long-run incidence of a rise in the corporate profits tax. He finds that the incidence of an increase in such a tax depends on (1) the government's budget stance, (2) the reaction of personal savings to the tax, (3) the reaction of investment to the tax in the long run, and (4) the change in corporate markups with respect to the tax. In the short run, the latter three (private sector) factors were found to have relatively small effects on the incidence of an increase in the profits tax. In the longer run, the extent of any shifting occurs will be determined politically through the government's budget stance.

Permanent hair reduction and removal is an easy task for light and radiation based methods which kill the hair from growing when it absorbs intense light or radiation. The difference in hair and skin like the laser treatment is often used to the advantage of these processes so that the skin absorbs less light and the hair absorbs most light, and in some instances, artificial dark spots can be introduced to increase absorption. Most of the methods that involve radiation are yet experimental.
The advancement of hair removal technologies based on lasers, optics make use of different areas of the electromagnetic spectrum including visible light, infrared, ultraviolet light and other forms of more intense radiation like microwave and once X-ray. These devices have to be carefully calibrated to give appropriate dosage to kill only the unwanted hair cells and not to have irrecoverable side effects on the skin. Although cooling equipment can make up for the heat absorbed by the skin, it does not make up for the radiation dosage.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Based Hair Removal
Intense pulsed light normally uses the same concept as the laser treatment to target the hair. The pulses and the wavelengths are customized according to the hair and skin condition; 500 nm to 1200 nm. The feature that makes the laser treatment distinct is the use of monochromatic light. This method has the advantage of safety due to its non coherence and maintains a near efficiency to the laser treatment.
Biotechnology, Dermatology and Medical Device manufacturers often fund researches for IPL and laser technologies.
The process emits most wavelengths of the visible light as well as some bands of infrared radiation allowing the expert to better plan and have more flexibility and options in treatment of skin with special conditions. This process might take up to 10 sessions to obtain a semi permanent hair removal.
Complicated skin conditions and health problems directly impact the safety and the recovery time of the patient in laser and IPL treatments. Recent use of other methods such as waxing, plucking sugaring, use of creams & sprays often interferes with the pre-treatment skin condition and the patients are recommended to wait before continuing to proceed to the IPL or laser treatment.
The side effects by the intense light include discolouration of the skin, burns etc. Black garments are also likely to interfere with the process and are a fire hazard might the beam come in direct contact with them.
Photodynamic Therapy for Hair Removal
The process is typically intended for killing unwanted cells like cancer or permanent removal of hair. Being an experimental technology, the process is being tested and experimented upon to get more know-how and fix the side effects and related issues. When combined with the use of hair removal drugs, the process has proved to be a promising hair removing technique. Photodynamic therapy or anti-inflammatory therapy are also used in combination with this process to facilitate a refined removal of hair. Spot size is a primary parameter to be considered in processes involving light such as this.
Use of X-ray for Hair Removal
The observation that radiation such as the X-rays were a cause of hair loss resulted in development controlled procedures that use the same to deliberately remove body hair. This was picked up by many clinics who acquired significant expertise in the process. Though an effective and painless method, the side effects were scarring, radiation dosage resulting in cancer and other radiation sickness effects, the process was banned by most governments.
This has also given the precedence for not allowing further technologies into the commercial industry without first fully understanding the side effects and researching the counter measures if any.
Research Work
Being a hot research and development topic, with many procedures yet experimental, the topic area is well covered in published literature. Even though most researchers are funded by manufacturers, the research often produces fair warnings and detailed analysis of limitations of the processes while they are still experimental.
Research work shows the necessity of preheating of the treatment volume, pre-cooling, in-treatment cooling and post-treatment cooling of the epidermis higher than the treatment volume.
Most of the research work is being done to improve beam focusing techniques for scattering reduction and to avoid skin damage, techniques for reducing the net cost and increasing the efficacy and efficiency of optical radiation so that it can be better used in hair removal treatment as well as other dermatological treatments.
With the benefits of information age on hand, the research is also being done on simulation level with software available to evaluate the effects of hair removal from light and radiation based systems. This optimizes the process for the final use on patients.

Pedro Fuentes was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison Thursday by Guernsey County Common Pleas Court Judge David A. Ellwood.
Fuentes was sentenced to five years in prison on a kidnapping conviction; seven years on a felonious assault conviction; and eight years on a rape conviction. The sentences are to be served consecutively.
Fuentes was also sentenced to six months on an amended count of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, a first-degree misdemeanor. The six-month sentence will be served concurrently with the prison sentence.
The maximum incarceration Fuentes faced was 28 1/2 years.
Fuentes was given credit for 231 days served in the Guernsey County jail awaiting trial and sentencing. No fine was imposed, but he was assessed court costs.
The 20-year prison sentence is what prosecutors requested for the 35-year-old Fuentes, who was convicted of kidnapping, assaulting and raping a 74-year-old woman on Eighth Street Road after soliciting a ride from her.
We are satisfied with the sentence imposed by the court, said Assistant Guernsey County Prosecuting Attorney Daniel Padden. Based on our review, the sentence was appropriate and the court agreed.
Padden said the victims family approved the sentence recommendation and negotiated plea that resulted in Fuetnes convictions.
We had extensive talks with the victim and her children, said Padden. They agreed to the charges and recommended sentence.
Fuentes was also classified as a sexually oriented offender, which requires him to report his address and other required information at least once a year for 10 years after he is released from prison.
Prior to Thursdays sentencing and sexual offender hearing, Fuentes entered negotiated pleas to the three felony charges and the amended misdemeanor offense. He was then convicted by the court.
During his sentencing hearing, Fuentes told the judge, I feel bad about what happened. I know I will be judged by a lot of people, but a lot of people dont know me. I am not the type of person to be doing these things.
Ellwood cited prior convictions and/or charges for resisting arrest and domestic violence as a pattern of Fuentes behavior when he is drinking, as he had been since 7 a.m. on April 3, 2003, before attacking the victim near midnight.
I think alcohol played a role in this case, but you are still responsible for your own actions despite the choice to use alcohol or drugs, said Padden.
Fuentes wife, Yvonne, testified Thursday that she bought him several containers of beer the day of the attack on the victim, who had just left a minstrel show in downtown Cambridge before giving Pedro Fuentes a ride.
Yvonne Fuentes said Pedro was intoxicated when he left their residence on Sherman Lane at approximately 4 p.m. She said he had consumed in excess of 24 beers.
At approximately 9:30 p.m., Yvonne said she received a call from her sister reporting Pedro was outside a Steubenville Avenue home drinking beer. Yvonne said she didnt see Pedro again until he returned home after the assault and rape.
Yvonne Fuentes said she knew Pedro had been involved in a physical confrontation with somebody, but he would not give her the details, prompting her to call Cambridge police.
I was afraid somebody was seriously hurt, said Yvonne Fuentes.
Despite the horrific offenses, defense attorney Andrew Warhola argued Fuentes didnt deserve the consecutive sentences imposed by the court.
Following the hearing, Warhola said he felt the judge imposed the sentence based largely on the victims age and Fuentes extensive criminal record.
The judge was very thorough in stating the reasons he arrived at the sentence, said Warhola. I believe, from what I heard (in the courtroom), perhaps the two most important factors the court looked at was the age of the victim and my clients criminal record.
Had Pedro not had such a lengthy criminal history, although for the most part the convictions are misdemeanors, perhaps the sentence would have been less.
Warhola said he believes the rape was a one-time, out of character event for his client, as Fuentes had no prior sexual-related convictions.
This was obviously alcohol related, said Warhola. The judge did a good job to analyze the law and many people will think 20 years is not enough. The judge looked at everything we gave him and seriously considered it all ... that is all I can ask.
Warhola had requested the court not impose consecutive sentences against Fuentes.
While pronouncing the sentence, Ellwood said Fuentes left the victim beside the road ... beaten, bloodied and raped. When you are drinking, you are a danger to yourself and others. Your own father warned you that if you continued to drink and didnt find God, this was going to happen to you.
Fuentes was remanded into the custody of the Guernsey County Sheriffs Office for transportation to the Orient Reception Center.

a friend drives a taxi on the weekends for additional income. he is also a contract engineer being paid as an employee via an umbrella company.
recently, he was advised to register as self employed in order to put in self assessments for his taxi income
His umbrella company have now advised him that he will have 20% deducted (which i assume is CIS) and have to pay over his NI himself.
This is confusing as registering for self employment to pay across tax on the taxi should not alter his sitaution with the Umbrella company.
please can someone advise
Please login or register to join the discussion.
This is what is called gin and tonic tax advice
If he is self employed as a taxi driver then who is supposed to deduct the 20% tax? I'll try deducting 20% tax next time I use a taxi and see what sort of a reaction I get.
If he is an employee then he should be on PAYE when NICs would also be payable. CIS only applies to self employed subcontractors in the building trade. The definition of construction is quite wide but it does not include taxi work.
If he is paid gross then all he needs to do is register as self employed and submit self assessment tax returns.
Or perhaps he is not genuinely self employed but has been told by the company that he works for that he is responsible for his own tax. If that is the case then that is their problem if it is ruled that employee status should be applied. Again all he needs to do is register as self employed and submit self assessment tax returns.
And yes
What he does in his spare time has no bearing on his relationship with the umbrella company.

A MALTON florist is urging customers to get in touch after thieves stole vital order books.
The Topiary Tree, in Finkle Street, was broken in to in the early hours of Monday.
Owner Gemma Bicknell said she was now left trying to retrieve future deliveries and appealed for anyone who had placed an order to get in touch.
"They came in through the back window and took the till, laptop and all my weekly orders," she said.
"At the moment we are trying to piece things together from memory and I can go through my emails to recover things, but I also want people to get in touch to make sure we haven't missed anything."
Gemma said there was no security risk for customers because all personal and financial information was safely stored.
"My mum had gone into the shop that morning as it was my day off and I couldn't believe it when she phoned me," she said.
"Who wants to break into a florists? They must have been really desperate for money.
"I know many of my customers will be understanding in the circumstances, but I don't want to let people down. I would urge anyone who has placed an order or booked a wedding to get in touch so I can go through the order again and make sure everything is in place."
Anyone with information about the break-in should phone PC Mel Pitchford, at Malton Police Station, on 101. Alternatively, phone Crimestoppers on 0800 555 1111, quoting reference number 12140010359.
• A 47-year-old man from Norton was arrested on Monday on suspicion of burglary and was later released on police bail until March 18.

Johannesburg - After the overwhelming success of his show 40 last year, stand-up comedian John Vlismas is once again venturing into one-man shows.
In two weeks time Vlismas will embark on an exploration of the fiery depths of the world coming to an end in his new show Revelations – which also includes a roasting of President Jacob Zuma.
The Saturday Star caught up with Vlismas this week to chat about his new one-man show.
What is your one-man show Revelations all about and what can your fans look forward to?
Revelations is a show in three parts. Firstly there's some stand-up comedy – it's new material, and all about the many ends of the world that humanity has designed for itself and why: Mayans, tsunamis, black people, asteroids, God and the Devil… all have been accused of some kind of Armageddon, and so far service delivery has been appalling.
The second part will be something really challenging for me. I've decided to attack all my own sacred cows for a change, just to show that there are no hard feelings towards my favourite target (other people), and that all is fair in laughter as well as war.
The third part is a roast. I've done two Comedy Central Roasts and two CCA Grillings, and I feel it's time someone roasted the president. So I'm doing one on my own at the end of my show.
In order to make sure that the show really does attack my own soft spots, I've partnered with Christopher Steenkamp to help me write. He's talented but I also asked him because I know he'll keep the integrity intact; he's kind of the Chris the Baptist of local comedy.
Your show 40 was an overwhelming success last year. What is the key to succeeding in the comedy industry in South Africa and remaining fresh?
I think there are a few ways to stay fresh. My thing is always to write new material, but also to find ways to bring in new technology and spend time and energy on design and imaging. There will be live music, graphics and multimedia – I believe all these disciplines are merging on world stages and my own taste for gadgetry, music and visual art make for a really interesting mix. I hope the audience agrees.
Do you think South Africans, especially our politicians, make it easy for you to come up with material?
A leading question, Milady, but yes, politicians – not just ours, as a global species – are a humid, unclean surface to the bacteria of comedy.
A live band will open up for you. Why did you decide on including one?
I've done it before. I had Afrikaans metal men, Kobus, open my last TV special. This time the band playing is a new project by top tattoo artist Busta Bolton and Martin Schofield (Rocka) – they're called The Spinebenders and play the kind of music you'd expect to waft out of the Bayou, if the Bayou were just west of Benoni.
As a comedian, just how difficult is it to please a South African crowd?
SA crowds, and I say this as someone who has played from Melbourne to Berlin, are the gutsiest, most honest and no-nonsense crowds in the world. We are a dysfunctional family, but we take it on the chin, and we have depth.
I understand that your show Revelations will be somewhat different to your shows in the past. In what ways will it be different?
You'll have to come and see. I never reveal all until the moment the lights go down and we all get naked.

JIM LEHRER: President Obama announced sweeping new standards today on gas mileage and auto emissions. He said it marked the start of a comprehensive national effort toward a clean-energy economy.
Judy Woodruff has our lead story report.
BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States: The sun is out, because good things are happening.
JUDY WOODRUFF: An apparently revved-up president made the announcement after months of talks with the auto industry and interest groups.
BARACK OBAMA: We have set in motion a national policy aimed at both increasing gas mileage and decreasing greenhouse gas pollution for all new trucks and cars sold in the United States of America.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The proposed fuel efficiency standards, known as CAFE for "corporate average fuel economy," would mandate 30 percent better mileage by 2016. Cars would need to get 39 miles per gallon; trucks, 30 miles per gallon.
The president said the U.S. could save 1.8 billion barrels of oil as a result. And together, he said the mileage and emissions rules would amount to taking 177 million cars off the roads.
The emissions target is to cut carbon dioxide coming from tailpipes by one-third as of 2016. And it could mean longstanding legal battles involving carmakers, the states, and the federal government will be abandoned.
Today's changes hew closely to a proposal long advocated by California. The industry and the Bush administration resisted that effort for years.
But Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said much is different now.
GOV. ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER (R), California: The car manufacturers, you know, needed money. They need the taxpayers' money. They need the federal government to help them. So in order to get that help, I'm sure that President Obama said, "OK, we're going to give you the help, but here's what you need to do."
JUDY WOODRUFF: The auto industry has been severely weakened by last year's sky-high gas prices and the credit crunch. Now General Motors is on government life support, and Chrysler is in bankruptcy.
Alan Mulally of Ford, one of ten domestic and foreign carmakers involved in today's announcement, said the changes will help.
ALAN MULALLY, CEO, Ford: We're going to be best-in-class in fuel efficiency, in addition to quality and safety and that every year, year after year, we're going to improve the fuel mileage going forward and reduce the CO2.
So, of course, improve the internal combustion engines, then more hybrids, and then we've also announced that we're moving to all electric vehicles. So that's kind of the basic fundamental roadmap going forward.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And the president himself gave an impromptu pitch for the beleaguered industry.
BARACK OBAMA: I still have my Ford parked in Chicago, Ford hybrid, runs great. You guys should take a look. But there are also some outstanding hybrids…and energy-independent cars represented up here. So I didn't want to just advertise for one.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The new rules do mean prices will go up $1,300 per vehicle when combined with standards approved earlier, but the president said potential gasoline savings would be more than $2,800 over the life of that new vehicle.
Negotiating with automakers
JUDY WOODRUFF: For more on today's announcement, I'm joined from the White House by Carol Browner, assistant to President Obama for energy and climate change.
Carol Browner, thank you very much for joining us. How significant is this announcement? And how long before we see tangible results?
CAROL BROWNER, Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change: It's historic. What we've done is we've brought together two government agencies -- EPA, DOT -- the state of California, 10 companies, all agreeing that we need a new national policy when it comes to fuel efficiency standards and the first-ever greenhouse gas emissions.
We'll start to see results in model year 2012. That's when the program gets up and running. And it will run out -- it will go out to model year 2016, when we will achieve 35.5 miles per gallon on average from our cars.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Now, with the auto industry in the very weakened condition that it's in, dependent on the federal government, was the administration essentially able to impose its will on the auto folks?
CAROL BROWNER: You know, no, I mean, we have lots of companies who were participating in these discussions, actually all of the companies, some of them in different shape than others.
But what we did is we said to the car companies: We want a certain outcome in terms of fuel economy, in terms of greenhouse gas reductions. We'll work with you on the flexibilities.
And so we were able to give them some flexibility so that they can, in fact, meet these standards. And they're all saying -- all of the car companies are saying they will be able to meet them.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Can you give us any more of a sense of the give-and-take in those discussions not only with the auto industry, but with the states that wanted these standards sooner?
CAROL BROWNER: Right, and that's what we had to do. We had to sort of weave together what each of the parties needed.
The car companies needed the certainty of one national policy, not a California rule, an EPA rule, a DOT rule. California wanted a certain level of greenhouse gas reductions.
And so, you know, sort of looking at the bottom lines for each of the groups involved in this, we were able to weave the program together and sort of create this new proposed national policy, which at the end of the day will mean a lot to consumers, because every time you fill up your car with gasoline, that gallon is going to go a little bit further than it used to.
Gas savings offset car costs
JUDY WOODRUFF: Up until now, we know that Americans have mainly -- only mainly turned to fuel-efficient cars when the price of gasoline has gone up. But now, for example, that it's gone down again, many people are turning back to those gas-guzzlers. Do you think that is going to change by the time these cars are available?
CAROL BROWNER: Well, one of the -- we did something relatively new here, which is we set standards for each class of vehicles. We set what are called attribute or footprint standards.
And what that means is, if you want to buy a bigger car, if that's what the consumer wants, if the soccer mom wants her minivan, you can buy that car. It will be more fuel-efficient. So all cars become fuel-efficient, not just some cars.
JUDY WOODRUFF: But even with that, is the administration prepared to offer some incentives to Americans who just don't want to pay the extra it's going to cost to get these more fuel-efficient, cleaner cars?
CAROL BROWNER: Well, remember that, with these more fuel-efficient, cleaner cars will come gas savings. And so while there is an incremental cost, the payback for the consumer who buys their car in cash is 3.2 years.
But for the consumer who buys their car, like most consumers do, and pays it off, you know, over several months, maybe 60 months, the average life of a loan, they could start to see the benefits even more quickly.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So no thought being given to tax credits or other, essentially, incentives?
CAROL BROWNER: Well, right now what we've been focused on is, how do we create a national policy about fuel economy and greenhouse gas?
And that's what we've achieved today. It's historic. It will be, I think, a very significant, in terms of preserving consumer choice and giving people more fuel-efficient cars.
Next moves on rule
JUDY WOODRUFF: At the same time, Carol Browner, we know these new standards are going to cost the auto industry a lot. I saw one government estimate from last year that said just raising the standard to 31 miles per gallon by 2015 was going to cost the industry almost $50 billion a year. This is a much stiffer standard, is going to cost much more, making it one of the most expensive rule-makings in history.
CAROL BROWNER: Well, remember that the car companies were facing the possibility of three standards. What we achieved today was one proposed national policy. And if you look at the cost of having to comply with three different standards, that would be significantly higher than the cost of complying with one proposed national policy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: I guess I saw one analysis that said this might be likened to kicking the auto industry while it's down.
CAROL BROWNER: You know, that's not what the auto industry was saying to us. And as you saw, all of the auto execs stood with the president today. They're in support of this.
They think it is good for the industry. They think it is good for their individual companies. You know, they want to be a part of creating more fuel-efficient cars. They want to be a part of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes.
And I think they deserve a lot of credit for coming to the table and working through this. We were able to preserve the environmental benefits that were important to California, and I think this is a win-win.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And, finally, remind us what has to happen before these recommendations can become law.
CAROL BROWNER: So what will happen next is the government will go through its traditional proposed rulemaking, and then a final rule will be adopted. There are lawsuits that the parties have agreed to settle; those lawsuits will be settled.
And then the car companies will do what they do best, which is figure out how to innovate and find new solutions to give the consumers what they want, which are more fuel-efficient cars, which means savings to the consumers.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Carol Browner, assistant to the president for climate change and energy, thank you very much.

Retooled LSU awaits Penn State women in 2012 tourney rematch
BATON ROUGE, La. — There's no been there, done that for the Penn State women's basketball team.
"The arena is familiar, but we are two different teams now from last year," Penn State senior guard Alex Bentley said. "LSU has changed, we have changed, so it's a whole different ballgame now."
However, when the Lady Lions (26-5) take on LSU (21-11) at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, the matchup will be on the same court with the same stakes as last season, with a bid in the NCAA Women's Tournament's round of 16 on the line.
In the first round Sunday, third-seeded Penn State started slowly but advanced with an 85-55 rout of Cal Poly. LSU nearly squandered a 17-point second-half and held on for a 75-71 victory over Green Bay.
LSU might also be without Jeanne Kenney, a junior guard who left late in Sunday's game after a nasty head-to-head collision with a teammate forced her to be carried off the court.
"Well, at this time Jeanne is going to be re-evaluated," LSU coach Nikki Caldwell said Monday. "She's feeling a lot better than what she was yesterday after having that collision. So we are still waiting to find out more, whether Jeanne will be able to go or not."
Kenney, a tough defender, averages 5.5 points and leads LSU with 155 assists. If she doesn't play, the Tigers will basically be going with six players.
Penn State coach Coquese Washington wasn't going to cut her good coaching friend any slack about not having many options on the bench.
"You know, with TV timeouts and all, I think having seven, eight people is plenty. I just don't think it's something that hinders you from being successful," Washington said. "So you know, when I was at Notre Dame and we won the national championship, I think we only played eight players."
Washington laughed and slapped the table.
"So I'm not feeling sorry for Nikki Caldwell," she said with a smile. "She'll be fine."
One thing Caldwell has going for her is Theresa Plaisance, a 6-foot-5 junior who has become one of the more well-rounded players in the country.
Plaisance, who transformed herself in the past year by getting in better shape and developing her outside game, leads LSU in scoring with 17.3 points per game and is second on the team in 3-pointers, hitting 24 of 70.
You know, she's a matchup nightmare," Washington said. "Just what she can do with her size at 6-5, shooting it from the outside, putting it on the floor, creating her own shot, creating for her teammates and then being able to score down low."
Plaisance and hefty 6-4 junior teammate Shanece McKinney should have quite a battle with Penn State's trio of 6-4 senior Nikki Greene, 6-2 senior Mia Nickson and 6-3 junior Talia East.
But the perimeter play, focusing on Penn State's Maggie Lucas, the Big Ten Player of the Year, and backcourt mate Bentley, might determine how it goes, especially if the Lady Lions can get going in transition.
A year ago, Penn State beat LSU on its home court, 90-80, to advance to the regional semifinal for the first time since 2004. LSU's roster is markedly different than last season's, while Penn State has most of its team back.
"We want to dictate the tempo," Washington said, pointing out that LSU got hot late in the season, winning its last six regular-season games and the Southeastern Conference Tournament opener by slowing things down a bit.
"I think it's going to be a contrast in styles," Washington said. "You know, we want it up tempo. They would probably like it a little bit slower. So we'll see which style can kind of win out."

The sales come less than nine months after it bought the majority of Macquarie Group's local real estate funds management operations and rebranded the Countrywide real estate investment trust to reflect the name of the new manager.
Richard Di Lernia, chief financial officer of the Charter Hall Retail REIT, confirmed on Friday that the assets were on the market.
"We are looking to recycle the capital from these sales into larger Australian assets which are better suited to the mandate of the REIT going forward," Mr Di Lernia said.
It is understood the shopping centres are among the cheapest of the portfolio, with four in Western Australia and the remainder spread across the eastern states.
The centres have an average price of $6.4 million, although at least two of the sites in WA are priced closer to $3 million.
Mr Di Lernia said the centres were part of the non-core retail assets flagged to be sold at the financial year results.
Charter Hall took control of the Macquarie trust earlier this year after the portfolio was savaged by the financial crisis due to its high gearing and overexposure to the ailing US economy.
The revamped trust has consistently paid down debt and sold its US assets. Charter Hall Retail owns supermarket-based retail properties in Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the US, although more than 70 per cent of its assets are now in Australia.
Savills and CB Richard Ellis have been appointed joint sale agents.
Savills divisional director of investment sales Miles Rowe said the WA sites were small enough to attract private buyers.
"There are some parties looking at more than one but it's fair to say the majority are looking to buy just one of them," Mr Rowe said.
The trust, which had a $2.1 billion portfolio at the end of June, is trading at a sizeable discount to its net tangible assets.

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has introduced new assault weapons legislation in Congress. The president and vice president are both campaigning hard for movement on a variety of gun legislation. Yet we are already being told that such legislation is unlikely to pass. At most, Congress may move only in the area of universal background checks.
Why are we already being forced to accept the reality of failure in achieving an assault weapons ban, even in limiting large capacity magazines? Apparently the powers that be who decide these things have decided to let President Barack Obama have his universal background checks but are shutting the door on any further movement. Republicans and far too many Democrats do not want to buck the National Rifle Association. Actually, the NRA is not really interested in protecting gun owners, but rather, gun manufacturers. It turns out that, as with most things, it is all about money.
As we learn more about the way our government works, we find that all too often it is about special interests, power and money. Does it not matter that a majority of Americans favor a ban on assault weapons? Does it not matter that the victims and families of these horrendous crimes are pleading for meaningful change in gun laws? Must the voices of the people take a back seat to those who wield power in Washington?
A new Gallup Poll shows the American people support significant changes in our gun laws. The poll shows that Americans approve changes in all nine of the categories the president included when he laid out his gun agenda. This includes 91 percent who support universal background checks; 60 percent who support a ban on assault weapons; as well as 75 percent who support stronger penalties for those who purchase guns for others who are not eligible to buy or own guns.
We now have an opportunity to find out what power the people have in our democracy. I believe we can prevail on these issues if we assert our beliefs and demand action on the part of our legislators. The gun lobby should not be allowed to decide what the government does or does not do. It should not be allowed to override the outrage and pain so many have experienced in the wake of the numerous incidents of gun violence, including the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. People from all parts of the country and all faith communities need to continue to speak out and not waver in insisting that change occur. We need to prove the pundits wrong in this case. We need to give politicians the courage to vote the will of the people and not fall in line with the gun lobby. We need to prove that we do have a government of all the people and not just of the few and powerful.

"The ten semi-finalists are giving us a look at some of the best opportunities in the region for new products that will have a significant impact on the health care of tomorrow."
What's next for the competitors?
- Each semi-finalist is now paired with a team of experienced professionals to begin the mentorship phase of the Competition.
- Mentoring teams include professionals from active venture funds or angel groups, biotech entrepreneurs and managers, and service providers with relevant start-up expertise.
- The teams interact directly with the semi-finalists over a 3-month period to focus on the strategic development of the business concept and commercial opportunity.
- Additional resources including development plan templates and guidelines, regulatory consultants, and presentation guidelines and examples help support the teams.
- This rigorous mentorship process is the cornerstone of the Competition and the semi-finalists walk away with an executable development strategy and associated written plan.
Following the mentoring process, each semi-finalist submits their written development plan for judging and four finalists are selected to present at the Fourteenth Annual SEBIO Investor Forum, October 31 – November 1, 2012, in Palm Beach, FL. The winner will be announced at the Closing Luncheon on November 1.

This is what I'd like to do with a special someone. On a breezy and lazy afternoon take a ride on my yacht (The Angel Island ferry. It can be quite beautiful) to Angel Island, where we will rent a couple of bikes and take a leisurely ride around the island. We will find a quiet, shaded area, and I will unpack a nice bottle of wine, a savory cheese, and bread, and we will enjoy each others company as the sun sets behind Coit Tower. Once back we will enjoy a unhurried ride through the city in a spacious limo I will rent for the occasion (it only comes in one color, yellow, I hope that's OK).
On the real side, we will use our creative minds and find a wonderfully romantic restaurant, not too dark but not too light either. There we will be guided to a secluded table in the corner where we can talk, discover new things about one another, gently touch, and whisper promises that only we can hear.
I am thoughtful, curious, and like to laugh.

San Antonio ( Spanish for "Saint Anthony"), officially the City of San Antonio, is the seventh most populous city in the United States of America and the second most populous city in the state of Texas, with a population of 1,409,019. It was the fastest growing of the top 10 largest cities in the United States from 2000 to 2010, and the second from 1990 to 2000. The city is located in the American Southwest, the south–central part of Texas, and the southwestern corner of an urban region known as the Texas Triangle.
San Antonio serves as the seat of Bexar County. The city has characteristics of other western urban centers in which there are sparsely populated areas and a low density rate outside of the city limits. San Antonio is the center of the San Antonio–New Braunfels Metropolitan Statistical Area. Commonly referred to as Greater San Antonio, the metropolitan area has a population of over 2.27 million based on the 2013 US Census estimate, making it the 25th-largest metropolitan area in the United States and third-largest in the state of Texas. Growth along the Interstate 35 and Interstate 10 corridors to the north, west and east make it likely that the metropolitan area will continue to expand.
San Antonio was named for Saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day is on June 13, by a 1691 Spanish expedition in the area. It is notable for Spanish colonial missions, the Alamo, the River Walk, the Tower of the Americas, the Alamo Bowl, and Marriage Island. Commercial entertainment includes SeaWorld and Six Flags Fiesta Texas theme parks, and the city is visited by approximately 26 million tourists per year, according to the San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau. The city is home to the five-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs and hosts the annual San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, one of the largest such events in the country.
The US armed forces have numerous facilities in San Antonio: Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base (which constitute Joint Base San Antonio), and Lackland AFB/Kelly Field Annex, with Camp Bullis and Camp Stanley located outside the city. Kelly Air Force Base operated out of San Antonio until 2001, when the airfield was transferred to Lackland AFB. The remaining portions of the base were developed as Port San Antonio, an industrial/business park. San Antonio is home to six Fortune 500 companies and the South Texas Medical Center, the only medical research and care provider in the South Texas region.
At the time of European encounter, Payaya Indians lived near the San Antonio River Valley in the San Pedro Springs area, calling the vicinity Yanaguana, meaning "refreshing waters". In 1691, a group of Spanish Catholic explorers and missionaries came upon the river and Payaya settlement on June 13, the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua. They named the place and river "San Antonio" in his honor.
It was years before any Spanish settlement took place. Father Antonio de Olivares visited the site in 1709, and he was determined to found a mission and civilian settlement there. The viceroy gave formal approval for a combined mission and presidio in late 1716, as he wanted to forestall any French expansion into the area from their colony of La Louisiane, as well as prevent illegal trading with the Payaya. He directed Martin de Alarcón, the governor of Coahuila and Texas, to establish the mission complex. Differences between Alarcón and Olivares resulted in delays, and construction did not start until 1718. Fray Antonio de Olivares built, with the help of the Payaya Indians, the Misión de San Antonio de Valero (The Alamo), the Presidio San Antonio de Bexar, the bridge that connected both, and the Acequia Madre de Valero.
The families who clustered around the presidio and mission formed the beginnings of Villa de Béjar, destined to become the most important town in Spanish Texas. On May 1, the governor transferred ownership of the Mission San Antonio de Valero (later famous as the Alamo) to Fray Antonio de Olivares.[1] On May 5, 1718 he commissioned the Presidio San Antonio de Béxar ("Béjar" in modern Spanish orthography) on the west side of the San Antonio River, one-fourth league from the mission.[2]
On February 14, 1719, the Marquis of San Miguel de Aguayo proposed to the king of Spain that 400 families be transported from the Canary Islands, Galicia, or Havana to populate the province of Texas. His plan was approved, and notice was given the Canary Islanders (isleños) to furnish 200 families; the Council of the Indies suggested that 400 families should be sent from the Canaries to Texas by way of Havana and Veracruz. By June 1730, 25 families had reached Cuba, and 10 families had been sent to Veracruz before orders from Spain came to stop the re-settlement.
Under the leadership of Juan Leal Goraz, the group marched overland from Veracruz to the Presidio San Antonio de Béxar, where they arrived on March 9, 1731. Due to marriages along the way, the party now included 15 families, a total of 56 persons. They joined the military community established in 1718. The immigrants formed the nucleus of the villa of San Fernando de Béxar, the first regularly organized civil government in Texas. Several older families of San Antonio trace their descent from the Canary Island colonists. María Rosa Padrón was the first baby born of Canary Islander descent in San Antonio.[3]
During the Spanish Mexican settlement of Southwestern lands, which took place over the following century, Juan Leal Goraz Jr. was a prominent figure. He claimed nearly 100,000 sq miles (153,766 acres) as Spanish territory and held some control for nearly three decades: this area stretched across six present-day states. San Antonio was designated as Leal Goraz's capital. It represented Mexican expansion into the area. With his robust military forces, he led exploration and establishing Spanish colonial bases as far as San Francisco, California. Widespread bankruptcy forced Leal Goraz Jr.'s army back into the current boundaries of Mexico; they fell into internal conflict and turmoil with neighboring entities.
In a series of battles, the Texian Army succeeded in forcing Mexican soldiers out of the settlement areas east of San Antonio, which were dominated by Americans. Under the leadership of Ben Milam, in the Battle of Bexar, December, 1835, Texian forces captured San Antonio from forces commanded by General Martin Perfecto de Cos, Santa Anna's brother-in-law. In the spring of 1836, Santa Anna marched on San Antonio. A volunteer force under the command of James C. Neill occupied and fortified the deserted mission.
Upon his departure, the joint command of William Barrett Travis and James Bowie were left in charge of defending the old mission. The Battle of the Alamo took place from February 23 to March 6, 1836. The outnumbered Texian force was ultimately defeated, with all of the Alamo defenders killed. These men were seen as "martyrs" for the cause of Texas freedom and "Remember the Alamo" became a rallying cry in the Texian Army's eventual success at defeating Santa Anna's army.[4]
Juan Seguín, who organized the company of Tejano patriots, who fought for Texas independence, fought at the Battle of Concepcion, Siege of Bexar, and the Battle of San Jacinto, and served as mayor of San Antonio. He was forced out of that office, due to threats on his life, by sectarian newcomers and political opponents in 1842, becoming the last Tejano mayor for nearly 150 years.
In 1845, the United States finally decided to annex Texas and include it as a state in the Union. This led to the Mexican-American War. Though the US ultimately won, the war was devastating to San Antonio. By its end, the population of the city had been reduced by almost two-thirds, to 800 inhabitants. Bolstered by migrants and immigrants, by 1860 at the start of the Civil War, San Antonio had grown to a city of 15,000 people.
Post-Civil War to present
Following the Civil War, San Antonio prospered as a center of the cattle industry. During this period, it remained a frontier city, with a mixture of cultures that was different from other US cities. In the 1850s Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect who designed Central Park in New York City, traveled throughout the South and Southwest, and published accounts of his observations. In his 1859 book about Texas, Olmsted described San Antonio as having a "jumble of races, costumes, languages, and buildings," which gave it a quality that only New Orleans could rival in what he described as "odd and antiquated foreignness."
In 1877, following the Reconstruction era, developers constructed the first railroad to San Antonio, connecting it to major markets and port cities. Texas was the first state to have major cities develop by railroads rather than waterways. In Texas, the railroads supported a markedly different pattern of development of major interior cities, such as San Antonio, Dallas and Fort Worth, compared to the historical development of coastal port cities in the established eastern states.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the streets of the city's downtown were widened to accommodate street cars and modern traffic. At that time, many of the older historic buildings were demolished in the process of this modernization.
Since the late twentieth century, San Antonio has had steady population growth. The city's population has nearly doubled in 35 years, from just over 650,000 in the 1970 census to an estimated 1.2 million in 2005, through both population growth and land annexation (the latter has considerably enlarged the physical area of the city). In 1990, the United States Census Bureau reported San Antonio's population as 55.6% Hispanic, 7% black, and 36.2% non-Hispanic white.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/8/2014 (1089 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When fourth-year player Elyce Molyneaux stepped onto the soccer pitch for the first day of the University of Manitoba Bisons training camp six weeks ago, she noticed some new faces.
In fact, the new recruits outnumbered the returning players and now there is competition for every position in the starting 11 of the women's team.
'The new players are really talented and now the returning players cannot fall asleep because if they decrease their intensity, they know one young girl is coming behind them and she's pushing really hard'-- Bisons women's soccer coach Vanessa Martinez Lagunas
For second-year head coach and former Mexican national team member Vanessa Martinez Lagunas, this year's recruitment went exactly how she wanted it to. She has made huge efforts to recruit nationally and internationally, even adding a player from Brazil into the mix.
This year's seven-week training camp has had the competitive environment she wanted to create. It's something she felt was missing during her first year at the helm, when the team held a two-week camp that included two practices per day.
"In total we have 17 returning players and 19 new players, so in terms of starting and fighting for spots... All of them are fighting for spots," Martinez Lagunas said at a press conference Tuesday.
"I tell you, the new players are really talented and now the returning players cannot fall asleep because if they decrease their intensity, they know one young girl is coming behind them and she's pushing really hard."
Martinez Lagunas doesn't believe in two-a-days, noting she doesn't want her players to be burnt out by the time the season starts. It's a style she picked up from her years playing and coaching professional soccer in Europe.
But it was quite a statement from Lagunas, who in the off-season managed to snag five of the six graduating players from the National Development Centre here in Winnipeg, which included forward/midfielder Amanda Wong.
The team is looking to improve their 1-7-4 record from last season, even if that means sharing a workout gym with the men on the Bisons football team. Yes, the women's soccer team is the only other team at the university that uses the football team's gym at Investors Group Field.
"It's had a huge impact, it's a wonderful facility," Martinez Lagunas said. "And of course, it has improved the motivation of our team a lot and as coach Brian (Dobie, the Bisons football coach) said, we have an amazing strength and conditioning coach."
So with all the young talent joining the Herd, Martinez Lagunas will be turning to the veteran Molyneaux for leadership on the field and away from it. Molyneaux is the Herd's most reliable defender. She played the most minutes of any player on the team last season, working the full 90 minutes in every game except one.
"It's been interesting to see all of them (rookies)," Molyneaux said. "But I've tried much harder than I have in past years just to show them a little bit that you're going to have to work for your spot if you want to get on the field."
One of those rookies, Wong, was named the Manitoba Soccer Association's outstanding youth female player of the year for 2013. Wong said she hasn't felt the pressure placed on rookies to compete for a starting roll.
"It's been good, I enjoy it," said Wong, a former FC Northwest and St. John's-Ravenscourt School player. "Everyone has to work hard to get their spot and no one can walk onto the team and have a spot. You have to actually earn it and work hard to get there."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/8/2013 (1463 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MOSCOW -- Pole vault great Yelena Isinbayeva condemned homosexuality Thursday after criticizing competitors who painted their fingernails in rainbow colours to support gays and lesbians in the face of a new anti-gay law in Russia.
The Russian, who won her third world title Tuesday in front of a boisterous home crowd, came out in favour of the law that has drawn sharp criticism and led Western activists to call for a boycott of next year's Winter Olympics in the Russian resort of Sochi.
"If we allow to promote and do all this stuff on the street, we are very afraid about our nation because we consider ourselves like normal, standard people," Isinbayeva, a two-time Olympic champion, said in English. "We just live with boys with woman, woman with boys.
"Everything must be fine. It comes from history. We never had any problems, these problems in Russia, and we don't want to have any in the future."
At least two Swedish athletes competed Thursday with their fingernails painted in rainbow colours at Luzhniki Stadium, the venue that also hosted the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
Isinbayeva said it was wrong for the Swedes to make such a statement while competing in Russia.
"It's unrespectful to our country. It's unrespectful to our citizens because we are Russians. Maybe we are different from European people and other people from different lands," Isinbayeva told reporters. "We have our home and everyone has to respect (it). When we arrive to different countries, we try to follow their rules."
American middle-distance runner Nick Symmonds, who won the silver medal in the 800 metres on Tuesday, blasted Isinbayeva for her comments.
"Oh my god. I can't believe she said that. It's bad," Symmonds told the AP.
Isinbayeva has set 28 world records in her career and won seven major titles, including gold medals at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. She was part of the team that helped Russia win the right to host the 2018 World Cup.
Isinbayeva, who said she plans to take a break from the sport to have a baby, was inside the stadium to receive her gold medal shortly after making her comments. The crowd roared when she stood on the top of the podium, and Isinbayeva thrust her arms in the air and jumped giddily.

IPhone 4S first phone for low-power BluetoothOctober 24, 2011 By PETER SVENSSON , AP Technology Writer in Technology / Consumer & Gadgets
The iPhone 4S has a little-heralded feature that makes it unique among phones, at least for a while: It can talk to a new class of wireless devices, such as watches and glucose and heart-rate monitors.
The phone, which went on sale Oct. 14, is the first one to have a new type of Bluetooth chip that can connect using very little power. The chip uses so little power that it can go into devices that are powered only by a standard "button cell" or watch battery.
The industry group behind Bluetooth on Monday said these small devices will be labeled "Bluetooth Smart." More fully-featured devices like the iPhone that can communicate with them and with other, standard Bluetooth devices will be labeled "Bluetooth Smart Ready."

Scott Hicks' follow-up to the phenomenon of Shine needed to be prestigious. His adaptation of David Guterson's acclaimed novel works overtime to fit the bill - so laboriously, in fact, that this essentially gripping, grown up drama of war and remembrance comes off too ponderously for its own good.
The company fastidiously recreate the period and atmosphere of a Pacific Northwest where seamen and farmers of Scandinavian and Japanese descent vie to wrest a living. But this is basically one man's journey to redemption, as the quietly simmering grudge that is Ishmael (Ethan Hawke, by turns withdrawn and passionate) takes his time getting over himself.
The reporter as observer is a time-honoured device, but in his secretive pursuit of truth, Ishmael drifts through this film like an angry sleepwalker, not just literally and spiritually wounded, but also burdened with a heavy load of flashback sequences ambitiously used to reveal a history of racism, greed and shame on the island. His dreams and recollections take in: the splendid father (Sam Shepard) who was a better man than he, the tragedies of the Japanese-American neighbours interned in wartime, combat hell in the Pacific, and the hopeful, rebellious children he and childhood sweetheart Hatsue (Kudoh) were when they trysted in the woods. Whew! Yet, as Hatsue's husband, Kazuo, goes on trial for murder, director Hicks illustrates how the past permeates the present as Ishmael is again forced to deal with his demons.
Working with a class team (Von Sydow for the defence, Cromwell presiding as the judge and plenty of expertise in cast and crew), Hicks has gone for an impressionistic, artful style that is in keeping with the novel and very attractive. But, given the complexities of the story, it might have been better to go for a more direct telling. And the prejudice explored in the tale seems to live on in the credits - why are the Japanese-American actors billed so far down when Hatsue and Kazuo are two of the main roles?

According to Chen, BlackBerry is the only MDM provider that the DoD can use. All seven of the G7 governments are 'Berry users, and most companies in regulated industries still count on BlackBerry for secure communications. As for the future of the company, Chen points out that 40 million iOS and Android users have signed up for BBM, which he calls "the most secure mobile-messaging service," and he says that BlackBerry plans on monetizing BBM to bring in revenue. The executive adds that QNX is being used by automobile manufacturers as a leading M2M technology.
Chen also hints at some new capabilities for the company that will be announced at CES next month, along with some cloud services. The new BlackBerry CEO says that the company has a strong cash position with $3 billion on the balance sheet. He says, "The journey has just begun." Let's hope that this time, the journey leads to a better ending.

Hey all! So I don't think I'm the only one that finds this annoying, but maybe I am.
When I travel, I love coming to this site to see what restaurants I should and should NOT visit. That being said, if I do a search for Alexandria, VA, articles just randomly show up w/ no chance to sort by date order. I've resorted to doing a google search instead.
Could we add a feature of date sorting to the search results page? Thanks SE!!

I'm usually more for the large mass of bodies setup, just because I find it slightly more social-casual, that said last night during all the craziness and the multi-pronged fighting hydgraf going on, I think that would have been a good time to split up, but at the same time, it was also a spontaneous rush to save things that didn't leave time to try and re-arrange...
I'll never shoot somebody down for wanting to split up comms.
On purple wednesdays, which is an event, the general blobchat should be utilized as that is now the day for that. That is why I do not play on wednesdays and that is fine. On other, non-event (sunday, tuesday, friday, saturday) days, use the compromise comms AT ALL TIMES and do not fear to remind PLs on that is how it should be done, and you have every right to run your own, smaller, squad and channel now. This is what I meant with being serious about catering to both playstyles - wanting to play more tactically and in a squad should no longer - ever - cause issues, sighs, general negativity or think we are hardcore or whatever.
Huge argument that is going on in the TVA forums now. It is quite sad to see people that are likely 10+ years my elder act like teenagers.
Good idea Rei. Have one channel that is Purple Wednesdays/Silly Mondays, one that is Strategic Thursdays.
Then Call to Arms when that is up (remove them otherwise) and the first one you see/enter/at the top is Compromise comms shaped out like this:
platoon leader channel
radio giraffe channel
radio giraffel channel
In all seriousness, I believe that you (and for that matter, most of our leaders) should join the TVA forums and TS3 server. Both to get a sense of the growing pains of the development of the PS2 metagame, and because I think RPS acts as a unifying force.
I just registered on the forum, but can only see the public threads. Guess a mod need to give me access to the other threads?
You can request access to some groups.

Was just thinking of doing the same thing. Props to CMaster for dealing with the behemoth that was Call to Arms Mark 2.
