This week's regulatory actions:
Federal court orders Michael Peskin to pay more than $480,000 to settle charges that Peskin violated a permanent trading ban
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that Judge John F. Grady of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a consent order permanently enjoining Michael Peskin from trading in violation of a CFTC trading ban. The order, entered on July 24, 2013, arises out of an enforcement action filed against Peskin in CFTC v. Michael Peskin, a case stemming from charges that Peskin had violated a permanent trading ban. The Court also ordered Peskin to pay disgorgement of $239,339.78 and a civil monetary penalty of $250,000.
The Commission imposed a trading ban against Peskin in 1993 as a sanction after finding that Peskin had fraudulently allocated trades to benefit himself at the expense of his customers in an administrative proceeding entitled In the Matter of Peskin,
The CFTC complaint alleges that Peskin violated a permanent trading ban entered against him in 1993 by trading for himself through the individual trading accounts of others from at least February 2006 through December 2012. The complaint also alleged that Peskin profited by $239,339.78 by trading in violation of the ban.
The order finds that, beginning in at least February 2006, Peskin arranged with other persons to assume the identity of these other persons in order to trade for himself, both telephonically and electronically, through the accounts of those other persons.
CFTC orders Panther Energy Trading and its principal Michael J. Coscia to pay $2.8 million for spoofing in numerous commodity futures contracts
First case under Dodd-Frank's prohibition of the disruptive practice of spoofing by bidding or offering with intent to cancel before execution
The CFTC issued an order filing and simultaneously settling charges against Panther Energy Trading LLC of Red Bank, N.J,. and Michael J. Coscia of Rumson, N.J. for engaging in the disruptive practice of "spoofing" by utilizing a computer algorithm that was designed to illegally place and quickly cancel bids and offers in futures contracts. The order finds that this unlawful activity took place across a broad spectrum of commodities from Aug. 8, 2011 through Oct. 18, 2011 on CME Group's Globex trading platform. The CFTC order requires Panther and Coscia to pay a $1.4 million civil monetary penalty, disgorge $1.4 million in trading profits, and bans Panther and Coscia from trading on any CFTC-registered entity for one year.
According to the order, Coscia and Panther made money by employing a computer algorithm that was designed to unlawfully place and quickly cancel orders in exchange-traded futures contracts. For example, Coscia and Panther would place a relatively small order to sell futures that they did want to execute, which they quickly followed with several large buy orders at successively higher prices that they intended to cancel. By placing the large buy orders, Coscia and Panther sought to give the market the impression that there was significant buying interest, which suggested that prices would soon rise, raising the likelihood that other market participants would buy from the small order Coscia and Panther were then offering to sell. Although Coscia and Panther wanted to give the impression of buy-side interest, they entered the large buy orders with the intent that they be canceled before these orders were actually executed. Once the small sell order was filled according to the plan, the buy orders would be cancelled, and the sequence would quickly repeat but in reverse – a small buy order followed by several large sell orders. With this back and forth, Coscia and Panther profited on the executions of the small orders many times over the period in question.
David Meister, the CFTC's enforcement director, said, "While forms of algorithmic trading are of course lawful, using a computer program that is written to spoof the market is illegal and will not be tolerated. We will use the Dodd Frank anti-disruptive practices provision against schemes like this one to protect market participants and promote market integrity, particularly in the growing world of electronic trading platforms."
The order finds that Panther and Coscia engaged in this unlawful activity in 18 futures contracts traded on four exchanges owned by CME Group. The activity involved a broad spectrum of commodities including energies, metals, interest rates, agricultures, stock indices, and foreign currencies. The futures contracts included the widely-traded light sweet crude oil contract as well as natural gas, corn, soybean, soybean oil, soybean meal, and wheat contracts.
In a related matter, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority issued a Final Notice regarding its enforcement action against Coscia relating to his market abuse activities on the ICE Futures Europe exchange, and has imposed a penalty of approximately $900,000 against him. Furthermore, the CME Group, by virtue of disciplinary actions taken by four of its exchanges, has imposed a fine of $800,000 and ordered disgorgement of approximately $1.3 million against Coscia and Panther and has issued a six-month trading ban on its exchanges against Coscia.
The CFTC's $1.4 million disgorgement will be offset by amounts paid by Panther and Coscia to satisfy any disgorgement order in CME Group's disciplinary action related to the spoofing charged by the CFTC. As CME Group has represented to the Commission, disgorgement paid in the CME Group's action will be used first to offset the cost of customer protection programs, and thereafter, if the disgorged funds collected exceed the cost of those programs, the excess will be contributed to the CME Trust to be used to provide assistance to customers threatened with loss of their money or securities. The CME Trust is prohibited from utilizing any of its funds for the purpose of satisfying any legal obligation of the CME.
SEC charges Texas man with running Bitcoin-denominated Ponzi scheme
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged a Texas man and his company with defrauding investors in a Ponzi scheme involving Bitcoin, a virtual currency traded on online exchanges for conventional currencies like the U.S. dollar or used to purchase goods or services online.
The SEC alleges that Trendon T. Shavers, who is the founder and operator of Bitcoin Savings and Trust (BTCST), offered and sold Bitcoin-denominated investments through the Internet using the monikers "Pirate" and "pirateat40." Shavers raised at least 700,000 Bitcoin in BTCST investments, which amounted to more than $4.5 million based on the average price of Bitcoin in 2011 and 2012 when the investments were offered and sold. Today the value of 700,000 Bitcoin exceeds $60 million.
The SEC alleges that Shavers promised investors up to 7% weekly interest based on BTCST's Bitcoin market arbitrage activity, which supposedly included selling to individuals who wished to buy Bitcoin "off the radar" in quick fashion or large quantities. In reality, BTCST was a sham and a Ponzi scheme in which Shavers used Bitcoin from new investors to make purported interest payments and cover investor withdrawals on outstanding BTCST investments. Shavers also diverted investors' Bitcoin for day trading in his account on a Bitcoin currency exchange, and exchanged investors' Bitcoin for U.S. dollars to pay his personal expenses.
The SEC issued an investor alert today warning investors about the dangers of potential investment scams involving virtual currencies promoted through the Internet.
"Fraudsters are not beyond the reach of the SEC just because they use Bitcoin or another virtual currency to mislead investors and violate the federal securities laws," said Andrew M. Calamari, director of the SEC's New York regional office. "Shavers preyed on investors in an online forum by claiming his investments carried no risk and huge profits for them while his true intentions were rooted in nothing more than personal greed."
According to the SEC's complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Shavers sold BTCST investments over the Internet to investors in such states as Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Shavers posted general solicitations on a website dedicated to Bitcoin discussions, and he misled investors with such false assurances about his investment opportunity as "It's growing, it's growing!" and "I have yet to come close to taking a loss on any deal," and "risk is almost 0." Contrary to the representations made to investors, BTCST was not in the business of buying and selling Bitcoin at all.
The SEC alleges that Shavers, who lives in McKinney, Texas, paid 507,148 Bitcoin in investor withdrawals and purported interest payments. He transferred at least 150,649 Bitcoin to his personal account at an online Bitcoin currency exchange. Shavers suffered a net loss from his day trading, but realized net proceeds of $164,758 from his sales of 86,202 Bitcoin. Shavers transferred $147,102 from his personal account at the online Bitcoin currency exchange to accounts he controlled at an online payment processor as well as his personal checking account. He used this money to pay his rent, utilities, and car-related expenses as well as for food and retail purchases and gambling.
The SEC's complaint charges Shavers and BTCST with offering and selling investments in violation of the anti-fraud and registration provisions of the securities laws. The SEC is seeking a court order to freeze the assets of Shavers and BTCST in addition to other relief, including permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest, and financial penalties.

SEC charges Steven A. Cohen with failing to supervise portfolio managers and prevent insider trading
The SEC announced charges against hedge fund adviser Steven A. Cohen for failing to supervise two senior employees and prevent them from insider trading under his watch.
The SEC's division of enforcement alleges that Cohen received highly suspicious information that should have caused any reasonable hedge fund manager to investigate the basis for trades made by two portfolio managers who reported to him – Mathew Martoma and Michael Steinberg. Cohen ignored the red flags and allowed Martoma and Steinberg to execute the trades. Instead of scrutinizing their conduct, Cohen praised Steinberg for his role in the suspicious trading and rewarded Martoma with a $9 million bonus for his work. Cohen's hedge funds earned profits and avoided losses of more than $275 million as a result of the illegal trades.
"Hedge fund managers are responsible for exercising appropriate supervision over their employees to ensure that their firms comply with the securities laws," said Andrew J. Ceresney, co-director of the SEC's division of enforcement. "After learning about red flags indicating potential insider trading by his employees, Steven Cohen allegedly failed to follow up to prevent violations of the law. In addition to the more than $615 million his firm has already agreed to pay for the alleged insider trading, the Enforcement Division is seeking to bar Cohen from overseeing investor funds."
According to the SEC's order instituting administrative proceedings against Cohen, portfolio managers Martoma and Steinberg obtained material non-public information about publicly traded companies in 2008, and they traded on the basis of that information. The SEC charged Martoma and his tipper with insider trading in an enforcement action last year, and charged Steinberg with insider trading in a complaint filed earlier this year. In connection with those cases, CR Intrinsic, an affiliate of Cohen's firm S.A.C. Capital Advisors, agreed to pay more than $600 million in the largest-ever insider trading settlement. Another Cohen affiliate, Sigma Capital, agreed to pay nearly $14 million to settle insider trading charges.
The SEC's investigation found that in his supervisory role, Cohen oversaw trading by Martoma and Steinberg and required them to update him on their stock trading and convey the reasons for their trades. On at least two separate occasions in 2008, they provided information to Cohen indicating their potential access to inside information to support their trading. However, Cohen stood by on both occasions instead of ascertaining whether insider trading was taking place.
According to the SEC's order, Cohen watched Martoma build a massive long position in the stock of two pharmaceutical companies – Elan and Wyeth – based on their joint clinical trial of a drug with the potential to treat Alzheimer's disease. Cohen allowed this despite repeated e-mails and instant messages to Cohen from other analysts at CR Intrinsic advocating against it. The analysts questioned whether Martoma possessed undisclosed data on the results of the trial. Cohen responded by saying it was "tough" to know whether Martoma knew something, but that he would follow Martoma's advice because he was "closer to it than you." In later exchanges of instant messages, Cohen further remarked that it "seems like mat [Martoma] has a lot of good relationships in this arena." Cohen also was told about a doctor who had provided his portfolio managers with potentially non-public information about the clinical trial, but failed to express any concern about the use of that information. During his e-mail exchanges, Cohen displayed no concern that Martoma might possess non-public information or about his use of such information to inform investment decisions at his firm. Instead, Cohen encouraged Martoma to talk further with a doctor familiar with the clinical trial.
The SEC's enforcement division alleges that after months of building up the massive position and being bullish on both Elan and Wyeth, Martoma had a 20-minute phone conversation with Cohen on July 20, 2008. According to Cohen, Martoma said that he was no longer comfortable with the Elan investments that CR Intrinsic and SAC held. Despite Martoma's abrupt change in view and red flags that he likely received confidential information about the clinical trials from a tipper, Cohen failed to take prompt action to determine whether an employee under his supervision was violating insider trading laws. Starting the next morning, Cohen oversaw the liquidation of his and Martoma's positions in Elan and Wyeth and the accumulation of a short position instead.
According to the SEC's order, Cohen also supervised Steinberg while he was involved in insider trading of Dell securities in August 2008. After being looped into a highly suspicious e-mail between Steinberg and other firm employees reflecting the clear possibility that they possessed material non-public information about an upcoming earnings announcement at Dell, Cohen again failed to take prompt action to determine whether Steinberg was engaged in unlawful insider trading. Instead, Cohen liquidated his Dell shares based on the recommendation of Steinberg, who continued short selling Dell shares in his Sigma Capital portfolio based on the confidential information. Dell's stock price dropped sharply after its August 28 earnings announcement, and funds managed by Cohen's firms profited or avoided losses totaling at least $1.7 million. Three hours after the earnings announcement, Cohen e-mailed Steinberg: "Nice job on Dell."
The SEC's division of enforcement alleges that by engaging in the conduct described in the SEC's order, Cohen failed reasonably to supervise Martoma and Steinberg with a view to preventing SEC.The administrative proceedings will determine what relief is in the public interest against Cohen, including financial penalties, a supervisory and financial services industry bar, and other relief.

This Is Your Brain on Music
The Science of a Human Obsession
Daniel J. Levitin - Author
In this groundbreaking union of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin explores the connection between musicits performance, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy itand the human brain. Drawing on the latest research and on musical examples ranging from Mozart to Duke Ellington to Van Halen, Levitin reveals:
How composers produce some of the most pleasurable effects of listening to music by exploiting the way our brains make sense of the world Why we are so emotionally attached to the music we listened to as teenagers, whether it was Fleetwood Mac, U2, or Dr. Dre That practice, rather than talent, is the driving force behind musical expertise How those insidious little jingles (called earworms) get stuck in our heads And, taking on prominent thinkers who argue that music is nothing more than an evolutionary accident, Levitin argues that music is fundamental to our species, perhaps even more so than language. This Is Your Brain on Music is an unprecedented, eye-opening investigation into an obsession at the heart of human nature. I Love Music and I Love ScienceWhy Would I Want to Mix the Two?
1. What Is Music?
2. Foot Tapping
3. Behind the Curtain
4. Anticipation
5. You Know My Name, Look Up the Number
6. After Dessert, Crick Was Still Four Seats Away from Me

Be prepared for Sunday morning games, NFL fans
Hey, everybody. Big news! The NFL is sending six teams to London next year!
Wait, you don't care because the London games are irrelevant to Americans unless they involve the team you cheer for, and because going from two games to three isn't an earth-shaking development.
But how 'bout this: One of those three games is going to kick off at 1:30 p.m. GMT. That, for those uninitiated in time zone abbreviations, is Greenwich Mean Time, which is four hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time and seven hours up on Pacific Daylight Time.
In other words, if you're an Atlanta Falcons or Detroit Lions fan living on the west coast, be prepared to set your alarm for 6:30 a.m. in order to watch your team on Oct. 26.
This comes from the Associated Press story on the new time slot:

Issac Cowans, 18, is wanted for strong armed robbery.
Cowans is the second suspect in the armed robbery of the Shell gas station on June 13. Cornelius Stuckey was the first suspect arrested shortly after the incident.
Investigators have been on the lookout for Cowans for almost three weeks now, following several leads from concerned citizens.

PLYMOUTH, Mich., Sept. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Freudenberg's micronAir® cabin air filters ensure that the vehicle cabin air is free of pollutants, irritants, and odors. micronAir® filters trap a broad range of microscopic particles, harmful gases and unpleasant odors to help make the driving experience healthier and more pleasant. These filters also protect the vehicle air-conditioning system, extending its life and reducing the need for service. They also have a significant safety effect - they prevent windshield fogging.
"By the end of 2013, the installation rate for cabin air filters will approach 85%, nearly doubling the rate in 2009. That speaks volumes for the acceptance of this technology by consumers," says Darren King, sales manager, automotive filtration.
Concern for clean air is a growing trend. We all want to breathe clean air; at work, at home…and inside our vehicles. Americans spend hundreds of hours behind the wheel every year and studies show that contaminants inside a car can be up to ten times more concentrated than outside.
New government regulations, both in the U.S. and internationally, create new and increased demand for products that limit emissions as well as an increased demand for products that protect people from the effect of emissions. "Freudenberg Filtration Technologies participates in the development of these specifications and ultimately accepts the challenge to develop new solutions for mass production to meet them," adds King.
As part of a global entity comprising 35 locations and 16 production sites, Freudenberg Filtration Technologies in North America is a proven leader in Cabin Air Filtration under the trusted brand of micronAir®. micronAir® cabin air filters are made of high-quality micro-fibers that protect drivers and passengers from pollen, dust, soot and other harmful particles, odors and gases. They also provide relief to allergy sufferers by filtering out contaminants which can trigger hay fever and other allergy problems. In many or most vehicles, installation of a cabin air filter takes just a few minutes and requires no tools.
About the Freudenberg Group: The Freudenberg Group is a family company offering its customers technically challenging product solutions and services. The Group is first and foremost a supplier specializing in seals and vibration control technology, nonwovens, filtration, lubricants, and release agents as well as mechatronic products. The end-user can find modern Freudenberg household products in the shops under the brand names of vileda®, O-Cedar® and Wettex®.

A rockin' guitar with great looks and advanced electronics.
The Godin Summit CT has an eye-catching highly figured solid maple carved top (CT) and an extremely resonant solid mahogany string-through body. The worn-in feel of the Ergocut shaped ebony fingerboard makes the ultra comfortable mahogany neck incredibly easy to of play. This 24-3/4" scale behemoth is powered by two Seymour Duncan humbuckers. An Alnico 2 in the neck position and a '59 in the bridge, controlled via a 5-way switch, provide huge amounts of tone for many styles of players, most notably the classic, hard-rockin' variety.
H.D.R. High-Definition Revoicer
The H.D.R. revoices and augments the frequency range of each pickup and allows the player to go from passive to active pickups
with the simple push of a button. The H.D.R. gives guitarists the best of both worlds and provides extra bite and dynamic response.
The H.D.R. provides extra bite, dynamic response and redefines the character of each pickup. It's like having 2 sets of pickups in 1 guitar for 5 pure passive tones + 5 pure active tones.
Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options. Includes gig bag.

When is Wisconsin going to eliminate the back tag?
Has anyone ever done a study to determine the costs of printing back tags each year?
Are there benefits to the back tag (that I'm missing) that out-weigh the printing costs?
One last question ... when will Wisconsin go to on-line and/or phone-in registrations like Iowa and Missouri?

SOURCE City University of Seattle
SEATTLE, Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In response to the government shutdown placing a moratorium on U.S. Military Tuition assistance, City University of Seattle has declared they will support Active Duty Military applying to CityU and not wait for this moratorium to pass. In the event tuition assistance is not retroactively provided for Active Duty Military who have received approval prior to the government shutdown, CityU will not hold these students financially responsible for classes taken during fall quarter.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130805/DC58607LOGO)
As a nonprofit focused on access to education, CityU believes that the education of men and women in the U.S. Military should not be interrupted due to Congress' inability to agree on a budget. Active Duty Military personnel who are eligible for military tuition assistance are encouraged to register and begin this fall quarter.
"It is our conviction that we should do everything we can to support those serving our country. Providing tuition assistance is the least we can do for the men and women who have sacrificed much for our freedom," said President Richard Carter.
About City University of Seattle:
Since 1973, City University of Seattle – a private nonprofit university – has been changing lives for good by offering a high quality and relevant education to anyone with the desire to learn. During its 40-year history, CityU has engaged more than 50,000 alumni from around the world through its online and onsite degree programs.

- Re-creations and computer simulations combine with authentic battle footage.

Colonel Robin Olds, legendary fighter pilot, is your guide to one of the most audacious ploys in aviation warfare. Go back to the Vietnam War and ride along with his lethal F-4 Phantom squadron, the Wolfpack, as he sets an intricate trap for enemy MiG-21s. Disguised as vulnerable bombers - and with no way of knowing if their bold plan could succeed - his brave airmen drew the unsuspecting North Vietnamese pilots. The result was the most elaborate air sting of the war: code-named Operation Bolo.
Pull the wool over the enemy's eyes and see who came out on top in this thrilling installment of DOGFIGHTS!

Comedian Mike Toomey, a regular on WGN, incorporates hundreds of photos and soundbytes with his spot-on impersonations and stand-up comedy for one hilarious glimpse back to hit TV shows of the 60s and 70s. Remember all the fun moments from Happy Days, The Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island and more. Even Adam West, Batman himself, loves this show, saying "I don't have to do this anymore, Mike Toomey, you're that good."

Self Titled
After completely turning the sophomore slump on its head and winning my most-improved band award of 2003, Ohio's Chimaira have returned for their 3rd Roadrunner release. They are back with more of the drum-heavy, half-thrash that characterized The Impossibility of Reason. this is a distinctly American sound, joining together Pantera's sense of groove, Fear Factory's unrelenting drumming, the speed of Slayer, and screamed vocals that represent today's metalcore scene. This blending comes off much the same as the sound of their labelmates Devildriver.
The band has progressed slightly in the past two years, which included an Ozzfest stint and a tour with In Flames. Matt and/or Rob's soloing is markedly improved, showing up in nearly every song. Good, classic metal solos, with lots of notes, string bends, and wah. Mark's vocals are as they always are - a scream that reminds me of Tim Williams of VOD, but Mark's intonations on certain sounds keeps him recognizable. The production gets the job done, although it isn't flashy.
Comparing Chimaira and TIoR is a matter of how you prefer your quality. While TIoR had a split of half adequate songs and half very good songs ("Pictures in the Gold Room", "Down Again", "Eyes of a Criminal"), this album is composed of exclusively solid songs with few standouts. It is a more consistent listen, but lacks those songs that you always skip forward to in anticipation. The ones that differ from the rest are worthy of a mention. "Lazarus" is certainly heavy, but the mood is far darker and haunting than its counterparts. And let's not forget "Salvation", where the backing vocalists do their best Jerry Cantrell impersonations.
Chimaira is a band that has truly reached their potential and hit their stride. They are surely as deserving of attention as many of the young groups getting press nowadays; especially to those of us who feel that a thrash riff trumps a breakdown any day. To fans of Lamb of God, Devildriver, and their last release, Chimaira will prove to be a worthy and satisfying acquisition.

Dimming notes:
Use Lutron Diva (DVELV-303P) or Skylark (SELV-303P) Electronic Low Voltage dimmers. Leviton Vizia (VPE06-1) will also work, but we do not sell it. We saw performance of about 13%/36% (measured/perceived) in our tests for those dimmers. This is quite good, and fact that the bulb is available in a range of optics and warm or neutral white makes it a popular choice. Dimming 12 volt MR16 bulbs always depends to a certain extent on the transformer in the luminaire, so results may vary. This bulb may not be dimmable on all transformers. We do not recommend LED/CFL, Magnetic Low Voltage or incandescent dimmers for this bulb. - Applications
Great for all applications of typical MR16's. Do not use in enclosed fixtures because the heat accumulation may shorten the life of the bulb. Indoor use only.

The description fits. It's the right square footage and it's in Southampton, and didn't we hear something about a separate room for shoes? Wish we had more than just this pic.

Jordan McCloy holds a 22-pound lobster on sale Monday at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough in Noank. Abbott's owner Deirdre Mears says the lobster will go for $200 to any person or persons who want to eat it, but $300 to anyone looking to release the crustacean. Mears added that she believes the lobster is a deep-sea catch from Canada. "It's eating oysters and seems to prefer the Prince Edward Island variety," she added.
CLARIFICATION: It would cost $300 to release the lobster because it would not survive if released locally but instead would need to released in cooler and deeper water, according to Abbott's. Abbott's has arranged to have the lobster securely held overnight and will be releasing the lobster Wednesday morning in waters near Race Rock.

Top Ten Cases of Nuclear Thefts Gone Wrong
These thieves would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those meddling anti-smuggling authorities
- By Marina Koren
- Smithsonian.com, February 04, 2013, Subscribe
Since 1993, there have been 419 cases of smuggled or stolen nuclear materials worldwide. Today, about 1.6 million kilograms of highly enriched uranium and 500,000 kilograms of plutonium—enough to make more than 125,000 nuclear bombs—exist in nations across the globe. The following ten incidents detail success stories of snatching some of these loose nukes up from the black market.
The first-known thief of weapons-grade fissile material, chemical engineer Leonid Smirnov, smuggles 1.5 kilograms (3.3 pounds) of weapons-grade uranium from a Russian state research institute where he worked. He does so over a five-month period, sneaking 50 grams of the material at a time and storing it in a jar on his apartment's balcony. Before he can find a potential buyer, he is arrested in October and sentenced to three years' probation.
A navy lieutenant colonel and a deputy administrator of the Polyarnyy submarine base enter a naval fuel store at a shipyard near Murmansk, Russia. Crawling in through a hole in the perimeter fence, they steal three fuel rods containing 4.34 kilograms (9.5 pounds) of highly enriched uranium, intending to sell it for $50,000. The fuel is hidden in the administrator's garage for seven months, until the lieutenant colonel, intoxicated, brags about the theft to fellow officers, leading to the arrest of both men.
Three men are arrested at the Munich airport after their Lufthansa flight from Moscow touches down and they are found to be carrying 560 grams of mixed-oxide reactor fuel. The fuel consists of both plutonium and uranium, and the sample is found to hold 363 grams of weapons-grade plutonium. The smugglers are caught thanks to a German sting operation involving an undercover buyer.
Italian man Nicola Todesco is arrested for murder in a plutonium smuggling case gone awry. After killing a buyer who didn't have the money to pay for the material, Todesco claimed he threw five grams of it into the Adige River, but no trace of it was found after a search.
Turkish police arrest six people for smuggling 13 glass tubes suspected of containing nuclear material from Iran into Turkey. The suspects claim the cylinders contained snake venom, but later confess they planned to deliver them to Istanbul and sell each for $1,000.
Istanbul police seize two kilograms (4.4 pounds) of osmium-187 in 64 glass tubes and take six people into custody. Customs officials had been tipped off about a company involved in an international smuggling ring for nuclear and chemical materials. Heat-resistant osmium is combined with plutonium for coating nuclear missile warheads.
Ukrainian police seize six metal containers filled with cesium-137 in a village in Crimea. The containers' radiation level exceed the normal background level by 380 times, prompting officers to evacuate the home in which they were discovered and surrounding houses.
A Russian man attempting to sell 100 grams of weapons-grade uranium is arrested through a joint Georgian-CIA operation in Tbilisi, along with several Georgian accomplices. Oleg Khinsagov was carrying a plastic bag full of the highly enriched uranium in his pocket. The capture is one of the largest of its kind, and Khinsagov is sentenced to eight to ten years in prison.
A staffer of the Ukrainian Embassy in Germany and the security manager of a Ukrainian bank are arrested with radioactive materials, including uranium and cesium, worth 3.1 millions euros ($4.1 million) in their car. The material had been stolen from a Kiev holding facility, and the two planned to sell it to a criminal group.
Moldovan police arrest six people for attempting to sell more than one kilogram (2.2 pounds) of uranium-235, valued at approximately $20 million.

Dear Marina: My father, a nuclear scientist from 1951 through 1991, and others in the industry like him were of the opinion that Israel's nuclear arsenal was started with weapons-grade uranium or plutonium stolen from the United States. Dad could not say exactly when this happened as I recall, which meant than no one he knew could either. A major problem in the industry as of 1987 (perhaps solved by now, but I doubt it) was that during the manufacture of large quantities of material, the siphoning off of small portions (say 0.2% of total amount produced in a production run) would go undetected because of measurement inaccuracies....Oh well, this information predates the scope of your article, but I thought you might find it interesting.

I know in food magazines and on health shows were hear all about whole wheat and whole grains versus white flour and white pasta. Have you ever really researched the reasons behind this though? I mean, really dug deep to find out what exactly refined white flour is and how it is made? Last summer I took the time to do some research and what I found out really disturbed me, and because of it I choose whole wheat flour, breads, rices and pastas at all cost. I want to share some of that information with you because if you want to take control of your health you have to know the facts.
Commercial wheat producers start with wheat seed soaked in pesticides. The pesticide is an anti-fungi spray and as the wheat begins to grow it is sprayed with a hormone called cycocel to encourage growth. You can try and google that word but you won't find much information on it-- its used on almost all wheat that heads to enriched flour producing mills, however. At some point, the wheat harvest is brought in and the grain (or berries) is stored in a barrel coated with anti-bug pesticides. If any bugs are found, farmers will fumigate the warehouse. From this grain, commercial refined white flour (and pastas) are manufactured. Doesn't sound pretty so far does it? Keep going.
It is important to know that a kernel of wheat is formed of three layers: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. The bran is the outside layer and contains most of the fiber. We know that fiber is important for digestion but it also fills our stomachs up preventing over-eating. The germ contains the most nutrients and healthy fats. The endosperm is the middle layer which contains all the starches. You get the most benefit when the kernel is eaten as a whole, where all the nutrients are ingested and do their job. However, in mass producing flour mills, being efficient and producing the most flour is the most important thing. That means that instead of hand grinding and maintaining ALL of the nutrients, high-speed, high-temperature steel rollers are employed. The rollers remove the bran and germ leaving only the starchy endosperm. The result is that an overwhelming majority of the good stuff is gone, and what HAS been left has most likely been destroyed or damaged by the intense heat of the steel rollers.
Unfortunately, it doesn't end there.
"Today, the US milling industry produces about 140 million pounds of flour each day, so there is no way to store the flour to allow it to age naturally. Plus, there is a shelf life issue."
So, Jim... basically you don't have time to do it right because you want to make your money? Nice...
It should be noted that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies chlorine gas as a flour-bleaching, aging and oxidizing agent that is a powerful irritant, dangerous to inhale, and even lethal.
So: so far you know that the wheat is sprayed with chemicals, stripped of nutrients and then doused in a highly lethal chemical bath. Even worse (yes, it is still not over yet), the chlorine gas converts an additive called xanthine into a toxic substance called alloxan. The alloxan is an unintended by-product of the chlorine gas. What is alloxan? It is a toxin that destroys pancreatic islet cells, resulting in diabetes. IN FACT, alloxin is specifically used in research labs to induce diabetes in rats and mice for research purposes.
After all of this, some synthetic (that means, more non-natural, manufactured junk) vitamins and minerals are mixed into the flour and it is now called "enriched". These synthetic vitamins are made from petroleum, elemental ores, bacteria, fungi, and ferrous iron, which is created from sulfate refined out of high sulfur crude oil.Next time you are buying bread flip the back over and look at the first ingredient, if it says ENRICHED you can bet that the bread has been through the process I just mentioned. It sort of makes your stomach turn, doesn't it? The video below is one of the ONLY videos I could find touring a flour mill. The bleaching process is never mentioned in this video, however the narrator says at one point "the flour will now go to another room and later it gets enriched with vitamins!" How lovely to leave out the part that most people just don't take the time to research and figure out.
Now that you know how enriched white flour is made, you will understand a little better why choosing whole wheat is not even in the same boat as far as health benefits go. The enriched flour is used to make everything from pasta, bagels, wraps, cereals to cookies, breads and sweets.

What's up with Neil Young's Pono high-resolution music system?
I first heard about Neil Young's Pono music system more than a couple of years ago, and it was supposed to roll out a few months later. Rumors continued to circulate about an imminent debut, then fade away. Young showed a Pono music player prototype on the David Letterman show in September 2012, and it seemed like the launch was within reach.
Like everybody else I'm still unsure about how the Pono music service will work. Will we have to buy a Pono music player to fully enjoy the glories of Pono files? In other words, is Pono … Read more

Every move we make this year should be with an eye towards 2012-13. We need to rebuild. Competing for a title this year ... honestly it's a pipe dream given our age and the number of back to backs we're going to have to play.
I couldn't agree less: every move the Celtics make this year should be with an eye towards 2011-2012. Go For It Now. This is the last year that the Big Three are likely to be competitive. The original window was three years, but Allen's longevity and durability and Garnett's recovery give them the chance to squeeze out a fifth shot at the playoffs. As the 2010 playoffs showed, veteran smarts can take a team a long way, and in a shortened season, strange things can happen.
Forget rebuilding, smoke the pipe, and dream of winning now. When rebuilding happens, as happen it must eventually, it's going to mean multiple years in the cellar. Don't bring that on any sooner than necessary.
