Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels hit attacking half-centuries as the West Indies scored 191-8 against Australia in a group B match of the World Twenty20 in Colombo on Saturday.
Left-handed Gayle smashed 54 off 33 balls and Samuels plundered 50 from 32 balls after the West Indies elected to bat in their first match of the tournament.
Some 18,000 fans at the Premadasa stadium were treated to a flurry of strokes as Gayle hit four sixes and five boundaries and Samuels chipped in with four sixes and three fours.
Australia, who defeated Ireland by seven wickets in their first match, will advance to the Super Eights stage from the group if they win.
Australia rued a dropped catch at third man by Shane Watson when Gayle was on four, as the opener pounded young fast bowler Pat Cummins for 18 runs in the fifth over.
When Gayle reached his half-century off 26 balls in the eighth over, the West Indies had moved to a promising 80-2.
He put om 39 in 23 balls for the second wicket with Johnson Charles (16) and 46 for the third with Samuels.
Watson avenged his error by holding a high return catch to dismiss Gayle off the first ball of the 11th over, but Samuels took over to destroy the Australian bowling.

Where Stories Begin
Not long ago, I was sitting with my young son, telling him a story, when he interrupted me to ask, "Where did that story come from?"
"I just thought of it," I said.
He was not satisfied. "But where did it come from?"
"From my imagination," I said.
"Where's your magic nation?"
"In my mind," I said.
Oscar's question is a variation of the same one I heard again and again from graduate students during my years teaching creative writing, the same question I hear every time I do a reading or visit a book club: where do stories begin?
I imagine every writer would have a different answer. For most, it involves some kind of percolation. Something occurs to you in the shower, or during a walk, or while down in the garage doing laundry. Days later, or weeks or months later, that original idea surfaces in the mind, and something else is layered on top of it. If the idea seems urgent enough, you get yourself to the notebook or the computer and write it down. It is possible to go for months of creative drought, but I've learned not to get too discouraged. Humans are born storytellers. I always trust that something will come; eventually, I'll find my story.
When I'm feeling particularly uninspired, I try to find something mind-blowing to read. Sometimes, if I am very fortunate, I happen upon a book or essay that jogs my imagination, something that loosens the rust around the synapses and gets a story moving.
A couple of years ago, I was about fifty pages into the novel that would become No One You Know. I had a basic plot, and a melange of ideas around which to construct the story. I knew, for example, that I was interested in the fine line between fact and fiction, the way stories shape our lives. I knew that I wanted to capture the spirit of San Francisco, my adopted home. I knew that the story would be told by Ellie Enderlin, a coffee buyer in her mid-thirties who had lost her sister Lila–a math prodigy at Stanford–to violent crime twenty years before. Lila's murder was sensationalized in a true crime book written by Ellie's English professor, whose version of events derailed the life and career of a mathematician named Peter McConnell, with whom Lila had been working to solve a centuries-old mathematical puzzle.
During this time, I had lunch in North Beach with a writer friend and teaching colleague–Juvenal Acosta. We got to talking about our favorite books. Juvenal had high praise for Graham Green's The End of the Affair, and couldn't believe I'd never read it. I went right out and checked the book out from the library; six months later it was still sitting in my office, full of post-it notes. Eventually I returned it, paid the fine, and bought my own copy. It is one of the most bedraggled books I own. Bedragglement is evidence of a book's high standing in a person's life. A book that has been well-loved bears the marks.
The End of the Affair is the story of a love affair gone wrong, with the mystery of the beloved's death front and center, but it's also a book about writing, about finding one's story and figuring out the best way to tell it.
Like most novels, No One You Know grew out of several ideas that had been percolating over a period of time. But ultimately, it was The End of the Affair that provided the opening impulse for the book. Greene's novel begins with the line, "A story has no beginning and no end. Arbitrarily one chooses the moment from which to look back or from which to look ahead." Twenty years after the tragedy that has defined her life, Ellie must decide for herself, as we all must, where her story truly begins.
Purchase The End of the Affair. Purchase Our Man in Havana.

In little more than two weeks, 1.3 million Americans who have been without work long term will likely see their unemployment benefits stop. That's because a budget deal proposal in Congress fails to extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program, which provides federal funds for those who have run out of state unemployment benefits.
The 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations were announced Wednesday morning, and two series that have already said so long — "Breaking Bad" and "30 Rock" — got recognition.

For the millions of Americans with allergies, a whiff of pollen, pet dander, dust or a host of other seemingly innocuous substances can kick off a reaction replete with sneezing, sniffling, and intense itching — or worse.

ILL Adds Vaccines to School List
By John Walker and The Associated Press
Illinois Junior high and high school students will be required to receive a booster shot against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis for next school year.
The Illinois State Board of Health recently approved the expanded requirement for the Tdap vaccine, which was recommended by state health and education officials. Students must either show proof of having received the vaccination, must have an appointment to get it or have an approved medical or religious exemption on file. Illinois Department of Public Health Director LaMar Hasbrouck says the new requirement can help slow an increase in whooping cough cases.

Cris Carter may not be back on ESPNs Sunday NFL C
In other words, its possible that Carter has been offered a role other than the role that he has been performing, or less money than he previously received. With such a deep bullpen, it wouldnt be prudent for ESPN to blindly re-up a guy like Carter, who has been out of the game long enough for some in the younger demographic to not realize that he even played. (I distinctly remember being amazed as a kid when I heard that Irv Cross was a former player. Then again, I was also amazed when I learned that the moon is in fact not made of cheese.)
Loved him on the field. Not so much as a analyst. Doesn't really matter, don't watch that show anyways. Mostly cause of the analysts.
Hey, maybe they are gonna get rid of the whole gaggle and start over so they can try to keep up with the qualty NFLN shows. Dont' see it happening though, not as long as they have the "Mouse" in charge. :laugh:Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.
Re: Cris Carter may not be back on ESPNs Sunday NFL C
I don't generally watch the show but every time I do one of my favorite all time Vikings is a little less favorite than he was the day before.

You Gotsta Know
September 15th, 2011 | by Ray Flowers |How good has Antonio Bastardo been this season for the Phillies? Amongst NL relievers he is first in batting average against allowing a mere .119 average. He's also 8th in K/9 at 10.93 while his 1.99 ERA is 10th. Amazingly, he's been even better of late with the strikeout ball. Over his last 7.2 innings he's posted 15 Ks leading to an unheard of 17.60 K/9 mark in that time.
Emilio Bonifacio leads the NL with 31 hits since August 23rd. Yes, I'm just as shocked as you are. Emilio also leads the NL with 40 infield hits, just three behind the major league leader Juan Pierre (43). The good news continues with Bonifacio as he leads NL leadoff batters, minimum 50 games in the leadoff spot, with a .381 OBP. He's also third at the spot in batting average at .306, behind only Starlin Castro (.333) and Jose Reyes (.330). I know, totally out of nowhere has been this effort, and as a result, everyone who took a stab at him off waivers in mixed leagues ended up with one hell of a player.
Ryan Doumit and the Pirates face the Dodgers for the next four games. This year Doumit has hit .583 against the Dodgers (7-for-12) and in 33 games in his career against the club he is batting a resounding .358 with 22 RBI in 33 games. Doumit is also locked in right now. He's picked up 15 hits in his last 33 at-bats that has led to a .455 average and .1,258 OPS in the month of September. What are you waiting for? Grab him if he is on waivers right now.
Danny Espinosa has hit a poor .231 this year helping to drain his value. Still, the second sacker has scored 64 times, knocked in 60 runs, and stolen 14 bases. He's also hit 19 long balls. While that last number doesn't jump out at all, it's a borderline historic number actually. I know it's hard to believe, but only two second basemen in the history of baseball have hit 20 homers in their first season. The only two second baseman to have hit 20 in their inaugural campaigns are Alexi Ramirez (21 in 2008) and Dan Uggla (27 in 2006).
Justin Turner of the Mets is batting .385 in September (15-for-39), the 7th best mark in the NL. Just another hot name to ride if you're desperate. By the way his teammate, Jason Bay, is hitting .340 in that time, 15th best in the NL. He returned to action last night after missing a game with a sore shoulder.
Looking for an arm to considering streaming? Take a gander at the Cubs' Randy Wells. Yes he's an uninspiring option on the surface, but that doesn't mean that he isn't pitching well right now. In fact, over his last eight starts he's 5-0 with a 3.02 ERA. The only other pitchers with at least eight starts, five wins and no loses since August began are the soon to be AL Cy Young winner Justin Verlander (8-0) and the Yankees' Ivan Nova (6-0). I wouldn't lead you wrong would I?

text: Canada rethinks metered Internet, as U.S. pushes ahead2011.02.07 09:25 by DanielaKeywords: Canada, Internet, U.S. As U.S. Internet service providers move to metered plans with the blessing of federal regulators, the Canadian government is reconsidering its own controversial rules that allow for usage based billing instead of flat fees. Canada's decision could determine the success of Internet video providers such as Netflix, YouTube, Hulu and Vimeo there, consumer groups say. Depending on where caps are set and how much is charged for going over, viewers may be reluctant to get their bandwidth gobbling video entertainment and news from the Internet, they say. In the U.S., analysts say the same scenario can play out. So far, Comcast has a 250 gigabyte cap for broadband, which basically allows for unlimited video viewing. But other broadband providers have long eyed caps that may not be as generous and the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules opened the door for such practices. Verizon Wireless said last week it would periodically slow down videos for the biggest data users of its unlimted plans, those in the top 5 percent. T-Mobile does the same, slowing down service when users get near their limits. AT&T moved toward tiered pricing this year for new smart phone customers; Sprint Nextel still offers unlimited data plans. Read more -here- |

Purifying Saho
Triple cleansing ritual inspired by the Japanese tradition of skin purification.
This essential step to an efficient skin care routine is deeply cleaning and purifying the skin, thus preparing it to welcome the following Saho.
An essential stage in any beauty regime, not to be skipped under any circumstances: make-up removal and cleansing of the skin. Just a few minutes in the morning and a few minutes in the evening will ensure years of youthful looking skin. Rid of its impurities, detoxified, oxygenated, stimulated and softened, the skin is in the best possible condition to receive the precious active ingredients contained in the range's other skincare products, and already present in the cleansing formulae for even more intense anti-age performance.
Japanese women, experts in perfecting the complexion, never fail to follow this purification ritual that EviDenS de Beauté has taken inspiration from in its 3-step ritual:
Steps to the Purifying Saho:
— 1 Surface cleansing or make-up removal, to purify the skin:
The Make-Up Remover Milk or The Make-Up Remover Oil
— 2 Deep cleansing, for glowing skin:
The Cleansing Foaming Gel
— 3 Lotion, to soften and sooth:
The Moisturizing Lotion
Evidens developed six absolute beauty rituals inspired by Japanese tradition.

Do Large Enterprise Software Companies Enjoy Economies of Scale?
Enterprise Software Success Myth #2
FreeBalance is a medium-sized Independent Software Vendor (ISV) with considerable success competing against very large Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendors. We are sharing 16 lessons learned by bucking conventional wisdom to encourage industry innovation and creativity.
Conventional View
Companies selling into the "enterprise" and "government" markets that are larger are able to satisfy more requirements, invest in more advanced technology that "future-proof" clients.
- Enterprise software firms fight about market share as an indicator of leadership
- Enterprise software has become so complex with such a large portfolio that economies of scale have been lost because internal coordination problems are introduced. The larger the portfolio, the greater the communications problem in product development adding layers of coordination among product managements and software developers.
- Enterprise software firms leverage legacy software languages that require more effort to add code for extensibility and new features to meet customer needs. The code base is larger.
- Enterprise software companies engage in many vertical and horizontal markets meeting that the minimum code base and requirements for database tables is excessive.
- Enterprise software market consolidation reduces economies of scale because these ERP vendors are supporting more than one technology in many markets, sometimes up to 6, each with different legacy technology. This also adds to the intra-suite integration burden.
- Enterprise software firms acquire middleware vendors (database, application server, virtualization etc.) to increase the code base even further.
- Enterprise software firms' attempts to move to fully modern technology have failed or been delivered late. Some ERP companies have not bothered to upgrade to modern technology.
Ethical View
- Large ERP vendors provide tools to enable customers to measure environmental footprints. These vendors also have CSR sustainability programs. Yet, these vendors continue to market bloated software that requires unnecessary additional hardware and bandwidth at the cost of electricity.
Emerging Trend
- Enterprise customers have alternative "middleware" choices through open source technology. ISVs are electing to leverage proven open source technology to provide customers with more cost-effective solutions. Open source provides more economies of scale than enjoyed by any proprietary vendor. (It should also be noted that many large proprietary vendors discover that it is better to have communities manage certain product elements.)
- Smaller ISVs are leveraging more modern software practices to generate pure-web software that is technically more advanced that achieved by the large ERP vendors.
FreeBalance Approach
- Focus on optimizing the product footprint and reducing communications needs makes for a green IT solution to make implementations sustainable.
- Designed exclusively for government to optimize the footprint and achieve the software non-functional and functional needs of government.
- Delivery of an open system to enable government customers to use open source or commercial middleware.
- Tapping into the open source ecosystem to achieve a technology leapfrog to future-proof our customers.

Newbie's Guide
Welcome to the Manifest newbie's guide! This guide will give you a brief overview of the basics of Manifest. It will be updated as we get closer to the event, though the latest news posts will highlight any special changes.
NOTE: You don't need to be in Cosplay to attend Manifest. Normal clothes are 100% fine!
The first thing you'll need to do is to get a ticket. There are three options for registration for this year:
Online Pre-Registration
This option is for people to purchase their tickets online using the Manifest store. Pre-registration tickets will be mailed out. People will be notified by email when the tickets have been sent, including the tracking number for the Australia Post. All tickets - except Golden Tickets - will therefore attract an an additional postage charge; this charge will be attached at checkout.
Pre-Registration of Golden tickets will only be sold online due to their limited availability.
Pre-Registration prices will end at 11:59 PM - 15th July 2013. After this point, tickets will remain on sale for a limited time at on-the-day prices.
Offline Pre-Registration
This option is for people to purchase their passes at either a Manifest event or via a participating ticketing outlet. Outlets may charge a booking fee for ticket purchases; this is beyond MAFI's control.
Pre-Registration prices will end at 11:59 PM - 15th July 2013. After this point, tickets will remain on sale for a limited time at on-the-day prices.
On-The-Day Registration
This option is for those who miss the pre-registration period and wish to purchase tickets on a day of Manifest. Manifest will accept cash, and currently plans to have EFTPOS available. If this changes, a news post will be made.
Each ticket comes with a manifest pass and a lanyard. While you are at Manifest, this lanyard must be around your neck and visible at all times. Manifest will not replace any lost passes prior to or during the event; if you lose your pass, a replacement pass will need to be purchased, so please keep it in a safe place prior to the event.
For more information about registration, head over to the tickets & packages section of the website.
Whether you come from afar or just wish to stay with friends over the weekend, there are a number of accommodation options in Melbourne and around the Melbourne Showgrounds area.
Special deals for accommodation will be released closer to Manifest, so keep an eye on the Getting to Manifest page for more information.
Transport to Manifest
There are two main ways to get to Manifest:
By Car
Parking is available on site for an all-day flat fee.
By Public Transport
The route 57 tram travels from Flinders / Elizabeth Streets to the main gate of Melbourne Showgrounds on Epson Rd (at the intersection of Union Rd). We advise that you get on at Stop 1 to ensure a place on the tram, as they fill quickly. Trains typically run direct from Flinders St Station to Melbourne Showgrounds, however confirmation of this will be announced via news post closer to the date.
As Manifest is in August, it may rain or be cold so please check the lastest weather report prior to coming to Manifest.
If you are wearing a summer outfit, we advise that you bring a jacket or jumper to put on as it does get cold quickly in the evening.
Pre-Convention Check List
Everyone that is 15 and over is required to have some form of identification that proves their age. Student IDs with your date of birth is okay for general checks, though 18+ events will only accept a Drivers Licence, Learners Permit, Proof of Age Card, Keypass or Military ID.
If you don't have ID and need to get one, we recommend a Proof of Age card. Please see the VCGLR website for more information.
If you plan to purchase anything during Manifest, it is recommended that you bring what you think you will need plus a little extra in case of an emergency. There are a few traders with EFTPOS machines at Manifest, although a number of the traders do not have these facilities and will only take cash. There are ATMs available at the venue, as well as at the nearby Showgrounds Village shopping centre. There is typically a line to withdraw cash at the ATMs within the Showgrounds.
Although Manifest takes place in winter, we still get several cases each year of people getting burnt. If you have fair skin or typically get sunburn, please re-apply sunscreen throughout the day.
Dehydration is the number one issue that our first aid team faces each year. There are a lot of people at Manifest and it gets rather hot during the peak times in both the activities hall and our other buildings. We do sell water - as do many of our food traders - so please come to the food and drinks stand and grab some.
Manifest runs for three days, consisting of an entire day and into the evening, so it is advisable to either bring some food or to bring some money to purchase some during the day. We will update you on what food vendors to expect at Manifest, though if you are simply looking for a snack, Manifest has a food and drinks stall in the activities building that offers a many types of pocky and other Japanese snacks.
Cameras and Video Cameras
Many people love to take pictures of cosplayers, events and everything in between. If someone is cosplaying, they will generally be okay with photos but it is always better to ask first. It's just common courtesy; by asking, you give them a chance to prep themselves, pose appropriately, and help you get a photo worth keeping. Please respect people who do not want their photos taken; there may be a very good reason that they may or may not share with you. Also, keep in mind that there are lots of cosplay-related events at conventions, and it's entirely possible that they could be late for a prior engagement.
Please be aware that some events have a ban on photos or filming; this will be advertised both before and during the event/s in question.
What do you get when you mix a head-to-toe costume, a packed convention hall and constant movement? Lots and lots of sweat. You may not think that a day or two of missed bathing will have that much of an affect on the way that you smell, but just because you can't smell yourself, doesn't mean others can't. Most people are too polite to tell you when they can smell you; it's better to err on the side of caution. Please remember to have a shower each day before coming to Manifest, and to put on deodorant prior to the convention.
Please do not use your spray deodorant to 'freshen up' any of the rooms, as some people have allergies to ingredients typically found in certain deodorants. Instead, find a volunteer or MAFI member and let them know.
Cosplay Emergency Kit
Many of our cosplayers find that an emergency kit is invaluable throughout Manifest weekend. Some suggestions include safety pins of various sizes, a sewing needle and thread, a small pair of scissors, super glue, a folding mirror or compact, spare makeup (for touch-ups), travel-sized hairspray and deodorant, and a few bandaids (in case of blisters). Many of our cosplayers also bring alternative shoes to wear home. We've been told that you can actually buy fold-up slip-on shoes from many shoe shops.
Gaming Devices
A number of people like to play games at Manifest on devices such as the Nintendo DS/3DS or Sony PSP/Vita. There will be official competitions run over the weekend for games on these devices, and many people like to have casual battles in games such as Pokémon. Please remember to keep your device secure, as MAFI can take no responsibility for any lost or stolen items.
Program Book and Schedule
Everyone with a ticket will, on arrival at Manifest, receive a showbag with a number of goodies in it. This includes the program book, program schedule, and map of the venue. This will be invaluable over the course of the weekend, providing information on events, their starting time and location. Spare program books and schedules will be available at either Registration or the Info Desk.
What To Do At Manifest
There is so much to do at Manifest that you simply can't do everything. We suggest that you plan out what you want to do prior to the event, though - as always - we have the trusty program book and schedule available for if you still can't decide. A list of things to do is located in the activities section of this website; it will be updated with more information closer to the event.
Please be aware that there are long queues for major events such as cosplay and guest panels. If you wish to skip the queues, we suggest buying a Golden ticket.
There are a number of etiquette rules that should be followed while heading to, from and during Manifest. Following these rules will make your experience, as well of those around you, more enjoyable.
If your cosplay is bulky, oversized, or includes large wings, please be aware of the space around you as you might hit someone else or knock things over.
Treat the staff as you would wish to be treated. These people have given up their time at Manifest to run this convention for you. None of the staff or volunteers are getting paid; they do this for the love of the convention, and a simple "thank-you" will make them feel really good when they are feeling stressed during the event.
If taking a photo with or of a cosplayer, ask their permission first. Please don't get angry if it seems that your request for a picture has been completely brushed off or ignored! Conventions are very busy, noisy places, and it's entirely possible they were distracted or didn't hear you. If you really want that picture, speak up again. Try calling out to them by their character name - most cosplayers respond to this - or politely tap them on the shoulder. Do not pull on costumes or wigs, as it may may hurt the cosplayer or damage their delicate work. This will not increase your chances of getting a photo.
Always ask permission before touching someone else! This includes picking up or taking a prop, hugging and glomping. If you are given permission to hug a cosplayer, please be aware that some costumes are more fragile than they appear, and may not withstand a particularly enthusiastic hug.
Be patient! Sometimes there are unavoidable delays. Rest assured that all staff and volunteers are doing their absolute best to sort out the problem. Being rude will not speed up the line, and you may upset or offend those around you.
If you have a question, there are several ways to ask it.
We have a set of forums where you can get input from both MAFI staff and the general community.
If you are after an answer to a particular question that isn't on the website, we have a number of listed emails on our contact page.
If you wish to give feedback about anything related to Manifest, we have a dedicated form for that here. You can also give general feedback in the forums.
Just remember that Manifest is what you make it, so come and explore all we have to offer.

"Spiteful, antisocial behavior may undermine the moral and institutional fabric of society, producing disorder, fear, and mistrust. Previous research demonstrates the willingness of individuals to harm others, but little is understood about how far people are willing to go in being spiteful (relative to how far they could have gone) or their consistency in spitefulness across repeated trials. Our experiment is the first to provide individuals with repeated opportunities to spitefully harm anonymous others when the decision entails zero cost to the spiter and cannot be observed as such by the object of spite. This method reveals that the majority of individuals exhibit consistent (non-)spitefulness over time and that the distribution of spitefulness is bipolar: when choosing whether to be spiteful, most individuals either avoid spite altogether or impose the maximum possible harm on their unwitting victims."

JP Morgan adds bankers to expanding UK private wealth unit
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON Feb 11 (Reuters) - The private wealth arm of JP Morgan has appointed seven bankers to its British division, poaching five from rivals, as expansion plans continue apace under its new boss Tracey Reddings.
Executive directors Richard Cockburn, James Drace-Francis and Stefano Ferraiolo join from Societe Generale, UBS and Credit Suisse respectively, JP Morgan said on Monday.
Francesca Hall joins from Coutts, the private banking arm of Royal Bank of Scotland, as a vice president.
Three of the appointments - executive director Aaron Georghiades and vice presidents Bambos Charalambous and Cliadhna Law - come from elsewhere in the bank.
All seven will be based in London and report to Tracey Reddings, who joined the bank last year from Societe Generale as head of the UK private wealth unit.
"The hires within our Private Wealth Management business in the United Kingdom highlight our commitment to the increasing number of high net worth clients in the region," Reddings said.
Reddings is seeking to bring in more "core millionaire" clients - people worth $3 million to $25 million, increasingly courted over the super rich because their needs are less complex and can generate wider margins.
Planned expansion of the UK business follows a similar push in Asia led by former Standard Chartered private banking chief Peter Flavel and the group expects eventually to introduce the strategy in other regions.

One Of Romney's Investment Advisers Warns Against The Tea Party
There is a lot to be desired when looking into Romney's taxes and investments, but Gawker has acquired almost 1,000 pages of documents, delving into the black hole of the sources of Romney's financial wealth.
One of the financial companies where Romney has parked between one million and five million dollars is called Prospect Harbor Credit Partners LP. Prospect Harbor Credit Partners LP is a Delaware limited partnership. As of 2009, it held $2.8 billion in assets.
Back in 2010, this company sent out a letter from its advisers to their investors. That letter warned of a coming fiscal catastrophe if the Republicans took control in the midterms.
With an economy that is still highly dependent on fiscal support, the outcome of the midterm elections could lead to gridlock that would have major ramifications for the economy. An expiration of stimulus would be a significant fiscal drag."
Hold on, Romney's financial advisers warned of gridlock? I say, GOOD CALL! The stimulus worked? That's not what the Romney campaign said.
Not only does this statement fly in the face of Romney's stated positions, but more importantly, the rest of the letter vindicates President Obama's call for regulating Wall Street. "Regulation will improve liquidity and transparency" one slide on the adviser's power point read.
Furthermore, Gawker delves into derivatives. A derivative is essentially a bet on top of a bet. The derivative market is what Warren buffet called financial weapons of mass destruction.
Romney, like many wealthy people, has invested in the derivatives market. This is where he made his money. He didn't make it creating jobs or building businesses. Betting on bets is his bread and butter. He is a high stakes, legal, Wall Street insider — a gambler. Nothing more.
If Romney gets in, expect the derivative market to explode and cause a financial meltdown that will make 2008 look like child's play once the derivative market is triggered by a default of some sort.
There is so much more and the details are great for college classes on how to become rich without working. If you desire to delve into everything for your own consumption, click here.
There are some shady, hidden aspects of Romney's wealth, which is the only reason why I can see him not wanting to release his returns.

Romney… a stinker of a sinker… let the leaks take that old barge down!
It's useless to think Romney and his ilk even care what we think, but it matters that his peers – financial capitalists themselves – understand the political economy of sound investing. Romney and Ryan et al. are fine with raiding companies at the expense of jobs and people and communities so long as the riches line the financiers' pockets. This investment company, Prospect Harbors, clearly understands the difference between long term stable outcomes and "damn the torpedoes" short term grifting. We need more investors such as Warren Buffet, Prospect Harbors etc. who INVEST and do not RAID.
I have become wedded to the bumper sticker:
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, we will know peace.
The same holds in all worlds – when investing takes up its real meaning of having all parts of your firm and thus your society benefit from and along with your private choices – then we will know prosperity.
Sadly, there's probably nothing illegal in Romney's money management moves. There should be, there isn't. He is the worst possible citizen, one who earns money from the money others earned doing actual work. Financial wizards produce nothing, write nothing, make nothing, invent nothing, discover nothing, and generally take from, but never return anything of value to, their fellow citizens.
Small minded people need to know!
Talk about ignoring the handwriting on the wall. Is there some loss of sensibility?
Romney is a "know nothing",born rich,pompus,arrogant(as is his wife),completely non caring guy,and Paul Ryan is a born rich,REALLY Arrogant,and MEAN,plus"nutso",and is ALSO "A know nothing",same as Romney,only diff being that Ryan actually BELIEVES HE IS INTELLIGENT! NOT! And,NEITHER OF THESE GUYS COULD PROTECT US FOR ONE MINUTE,IF THAT"3AM phone call" ever came.ANYBODY who votes for this pair has to be TOTALLY INSANE!

Great Observatories
Great Observatories, a semiformal grouping of four U.S. satellite observatories that had separate origins: the Hubble Space Telescope, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The grouping came about because the four would provide unprecedented spatial and temporal coverage across much of the electromagnetic spectrum from gamma rays (Compton) through X-rays (Chandra) and visible light (Hubble) to the infrared (Spitzer). The Great Observatories concept was developed in the mid-1980s by American engineer Charles Pellerin, then Director of Astrophysics at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), as a way of providing an umbrella for four large, expensive astrophysics missions that otherwise might be viewed as funding competitors. The idea was that by spanning the electromagnetic spectrum, the four would offer a comprehensive view of the universe that would help unify heretofore diverse perceptions. Comparisons were made between hearing an entire symphony rather than a solo instrument. In 1985 NASA introduced the program to the public in a full-colour booklet, The Great Observatories for Space Astrophysics, which was written by American astronomer Martin Harwit and American science writer Valerie Neal. While linked conceptually, the four missions had vastly different origins and histories and ... (200 of 748 words)

August 11, 2010 How to Research Trademarks We decided on a title for our book but there is another book from 1994 (with the same main title). One of the co-authors thought we would have a problem with copyright infringement. I thought we would only have a problem if we used the exact same title of another published book. Do you think our title would be okay? John Titles can't be copyrighted but they can be trademarked. To search registered trademarks, go to: Click on: Then click on: You should also use your favorite search engine to look for any phrase you intend to use because, even if somebody has not yet registered a trademark for a phrase, they can still claim ownership if they used it first. You would not be able to register a trademark if somebody else owns that name/phrase. If you were able to register it (if the pre-use wasn't noticed by your or your attorney), you could lose it if the person who create the phrase first decides to challenge you. While there are many books on the market with identical titles, it's never a good idea to give your book a title that's already been used by someone else.
