Lakers, Wolves Discussing Beasley Trade?
Posted By HOOPSWORLD On February 21, 2012 @ 7:11 am In All,Headlines,NBA Headlines | No Comments
The Lakers' front office knows Kobe Bryant is looking for it to improve the roster, and GM Mitch Kupchak has been working the phones. He's spoken to Minnesota about Michael Beasley, and sources say the Lakers are intrigued by the Timberwolves' small forward. The Lakers were actually in discussions with Minnesota about a potential trade for Beasley before the season started. If they would have been able to pull off the deal for Chris Paul, there is a good chance that a trade for Beasley would have followed.
It's not clear what the Lakers would give Minnesota for Beasley (if indeed the talks get that far), but the Lakers could absorb Beasley into their $8.9 million trade exception while giving up a draft pick or cash. I'm told the teams have not spoken about Pau Gasol since the preseason. Minnesota is looking to move Beasley, who they feel has matured very little (if at all) since he's been there, according to sources. The Lakers believe they can handle a player like Beasley because of their winning culture and the leadership of Bryant.

Jimmy's Dive Bar Review
A casual option that's not hard on the wallet, this restaurant is a terrific choice for breakfast. Later in the day, expect mostly hamburgers and sandwiches, but if you're craving something more, you can get pasta, lobster (in season), and a huge 24-ounce porterhouse steak. It's in a great spot for people-watching, and it's open later than other restaurants, so if you're coming off a late flight, this is a good bet for food or just a lively spot to meet other vacationers. Expect this to live up to its name—it's truly a dive.

University of Alabama Apologizes to Baker for Attempt to Stop Production of Collegiate-Themed Products
Collegiate Licensing Co. recently sent a cease-and-desist letter to a Northport, Alabama bakery owner to stop producing baked goods with University of Alabama-related images and phrases. After the story hit the Tuscaloosa News, however, the university got in touch with Mary Cesar, the bakery owner, to attempt to resolve the issue in a more friendly way.
Cesar, owner of Mary's Cakes & Pastries, produces customized cakes and cookies and, during football season in particular, offers university-themed decorated baked goods. But then last week, Cesar received a letter informing her that she was violating the University of Alabama's trademark and licensing rules whenever she put a university symbol such as the script "A" or the words "Roll Tide" or "Bama" on her cookies or cakes.
In the original article in the Tuscaloosa News, Cesar said she would stop producing any such products because she couldn't afford to fight a lawsuit and still stay in business. But her local community rallied around her and her right to produce tasty UA-themed treats; a representative of the University of Alabama soon got in touch with her soon thereafter.
"We have assured Ms. Cesar that we will work with her to resolve this issue quickly and amicably so that she can continue to produce pastries that bear the university's marks," UA Assistant Vice-President Deborah M. Lane told the Tuscaloosa News.
What do you think? Would the Collegiate Licensing Co.'s defense of its trademarks and licensing rights have been going too far had they pushed this issue? Did the University of Alabama handle this appropriately?

On yesterday's memorial day, Br Matthew of Intentional Disciples looked at the famous command attributed to St Francis: "Preach the Gospel at all times and, if necessary, use words." The first trouble, he points out, is that it's apocryphal. But there's more.
This reminds me of a remark I heard when I was attending a theologically liberal Mennonite church where charitable works were much in vogue. Our guest speaker, visiting from the Midwest, had cooperated with some Baptists on a relief project for a town a tornado had hit. And one of the Baptists had said, our speaker recalled, "You know, you Mennonites are fine people, but you don't preach what you practice."

The Gingrich Senators: The Roots of Partisan Warfare in Congress
April 25, 2013 // 5:00pm — 6:00pm
Congress Project
The much venerated Senate of the mid-twentieth century is now a distant memory. Today senators routinely electioneer on the Senate floor, play games with the legislative process, and question each other's motives. Sean M. Theriault documents how one group of senators has been at the forefront of the transformation—the "Gingrich Senators," which he defines as those Republicans who previously served in the House after New Gingrich was first elected. He shows how the Gingrich Senators are more conservative and more likely to engage in partisan warfare than the other Republicans.
Drug Policy: A 21st Century Approach to Reform
April 25, 2013 // 12:00pm — 1:30pm
The illegal drug problem has posed challenges to the United States and Latin America for many decades. While efforts to disrupt the cultivation, processing, and trafficking of drugs to the United States have shown mixed results, the drug trade continues to pose serious threats to citizen security, economic prosperity, environmental conservation, human rights, and democratic governance throughout the hemisphere. In this National Conversation, panelists will address the question of how the U.S. is reforming its policies to address this problem and show sustainable results.

On April 16, 2013, the Canada Institute hosted its fourteenth Cross-Border Forum on Energy Issues. This year's program, "Cyber Security and the North American Electric Grid" assembled key stakeholders, academics, and government policy makers for an off-the-record discussion on the vital but potentially vulnerable electric grid shared by Canada and the United States. The assembled participants concluded that despite decades of cooperation more must be done to confront emerging cyber security issues in the energy sector.

Water is the foundation of human society and will become even more critical as population growth, development, and climate change put pressure on already-shrinking water resources in the years ahead.

Redbelt Goofs/Mistakes
- Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In the program opened by Emily Mortimer's character in the tournament, a freeze frame reveals that the bios for the fighters are simply a continuous block of text referring to a fighter named "David," and the text is repeated on the left and right sides of the program.
- Movie Goof (continuity error): When Ricardo comes out from behind the curtain the red band on his belt is on the right side. Then when the camera changes it's on the left side.
- Movie Goof (continuity error): When Mike is on Chet's set during the knife demonstration, the knife fighters shirt first appears to be clean. When the camera shot changes it becomes sweaty in the front and back, and when the camera changes again it appears to be clean.
- Movie Goof (continuity error): When Chet and Mike are sitting down talking on the set, Mike's red drinking cup changes position without him picking it up.

The principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia - for centuries under the suzerainty of the Turkish Ottoman Empire - secured their autonomy in 1856; they united in 1859 and a few years later adopted the new name of Romania. The country gained recognition of its independence in 1878. It joined the Allied Powers in World War I and acquired new territories - most notably Transylvania - following the conflict. In 1940, Romania allied with the Axis powers and participated in the 1941 German invasion of the USSR. Three years later, overrun by the Soviets, Romania signed an armistice. The post-war Soviet occupation led to the formation of a Communist "people's republic" in 1947 and the abdication of the king. The decades-long rule of dictator Nicolae CEAUSESCU, who took power in 1965, and his Securitate police state became increasingly oppressive and draconian through the 1980s. CEAUSESCU was overthrown and executed in late 1989. Former Communists dominated the government until 1996 when they were swept from power. Romania joined NATO in 2004 and the EU in 2007.

Rugby Championship: Richie McCaw to captain New Zealand against Australia
Last Updated: August 17, 2013 11:03am
Richie McCaw has been named in the starting line-up by head coach Steve Hansen
Richie McCaw will captain New Zealand in Saturday's Rugby Championship opener against Australia.
The World Cup-winning skipper has only recently returned after a six-month sabbatical from rugby, playing 80 minutes of a lower level club match and making cameo appearances off the bench for Canterbury Crusaders.
McCaw was rested for the second half of a warm-up match last weekend, suggesting head coach Steve Hansen is confident he is up to the rigours of international rugby.
Hansen has named an experienced side for the Bledisloe Cup clash at Sydney's ANZ Stadium, with the All Blacks' most capped centre pairing of Ma'a Nonu and Conrad Smith winning their 80th and 70th caps respectively.
Loosehead prop Tony Woodcock wins his 99th cap, with Aaron Cruden selected at fly-half in the absence of the injured Dan Carter.
Aaron Smith starts at scrum-half while uncapped centre Ryan Crotty is named among the replacements.
Hansen said: "There's huge excitement in the group as the Bledisloe Cup is a very important trophy for the All Blacks.
"With the changing of the guard in the Australian coaching group, it adds a little bit of the unexpected to the challenge. Therefore, we need to ready for anything they chuck at us.
"Whilst the expectations will be as high as they always are for the All Blacks to perform and win, I have a feeling there will also be huge expectations on the Australians because of the changes, and it will be interesting to see how their players and their new coaching team cope with this."
New Zealand: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Ben Smith, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma'a Nonu, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Aaron Smith; 1 Tony Woodcock, 2 Andrew Hore, 3 Owen Franks, 4 Luke Romano, 5 Sam Whitelock, 6 Steven Luatua, 7 Richie McCaw (c), 8 Kieran Read.
Replacements: 16 Keven Mealamu, 17 Ben Franks, 18 Charlie Faumuina, 19 Brodie Retallick, 20 Sam Cane, 21 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 22 Beauden Barrett, 23 Ryan Crotty.

Thank goodness the number is declining. Afterall, that is $598 Million dollars that corporations didn't have to invest or distribute to shareholders. What a group of shysters.
A waste of food, keeping you alive to post your drivel.
But for the work of the securities class action bar in the US, there would not be a market to trade in.
You are a moron if you think the Feds ore the SEC or the DOJ or whoever, are going to police the markets and keep them transparent.
Look back and you will see that the leaders of corporate america will do anything to rob you blind and steal your money and then turn around and do it again. I would say that you are either a defense lawyer or a fool, but even if you are a defense lawyer, you are still a fool, bc no one makes more money for the defense bar, then the plaintiffs bar…
fees for securities class action lawyers "plummet" . . . to a mere $598 million! That's well over half a billion dollars just for filing some lawsuits, getting some drone temp lawyers to review some documents, taking some depositions, and congratulating oneself at the fee award hearings. Is America a great country or what? No other country in the world makes as many fast food burgers or files as many class action lawsuits. We clearly are the envy of the world.
E-trade my boys. I will complete break the trend of declining fees when e-trade settles.
Can someone send me some contact information for potential lead plaintiffs in these kinds of cases. I need to lower the bar.
obviously the pro republican nut jobs are happy about declining fees. What happens when all the chinese companies go private. Then what?
I must say we could do without class action lawyers or drastically reduce their fees. I had the unfortunate experience of working for a law firm that focused on securities and consumer class actions in AZ, firm starts with a B. We never had a plaintiff come into our firm asking for a company to be sued on a class action basis. Instead, the partners went in search of companies to sue and went hunting for plaintiffs. In securities they would just copy filings done by Milberg Weiss (and we know what happened to that firm) in large states and file a state complaint in AZ or some other small state. Just copycats.
I recall one day walking into the kitchen of the firm and a paralegal was burning teflon pans to see if the teflon melted off to see if we could sue the makers of the pots. Pathetic. I gave my notice shortly after. Literally scraping the bottom of the pan/barrel.

I saw that on TV.
A miracle.
A baby boy has miraculously survived after his pram fell off a platform and on to the path of a moving train in Australia.
The video, from CCTV shows the panic of the mother and people around her.
Amazing footage.
The collision happened as a city-bound service pulled up to Ashburton station, in a Melbourne suburb.CCTV footage shows the boy's mother taking her hands off the three-wheeler pram's handles and failing to notice as it slowly edges towards the tracks.
The mum suddenly spots the baby carrier picking up speed and she rushes with outstretched arms to try to save her young child.

Oprah Winfrey will only retain her title of CEO of Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) after Discovery Communications, a joint owner of OWN TV network, reportedly effectively stripped her of executive powers.
National Enquirer reports that Winfrey was called into a board meeting and told that she would no longer make influential decisions concerning the TV network. Discovery Communications funds the network extensively and it is said they were no longer pleased with Winfrey's executive decisions.
An unnamed source told Enquirer that Winfrey's situation was equivalent to Donald Trump telling one of his Apprentice contestants "You're fired!" The source reveals the network was struggling to keep afloat financially as hundreds of millions had been wasted on fruitless expenditure.
Discovery Communications' decision was apparently made to save the network further embarrassment and financial failure. "They now realise that Oprah was too inexperienced to run the network. So she was stripped of her power. She's no longer in a position to make executive decisions or hire staff without consulting top Discovery executives first.
"For Oprah, this is a bitter personal failure and a devastating blow to her ego. The unexpected demotion has sent her into an emotional tailspin so severe that friends are deeply concerned for her. They fear it could trigger one of her drinking and eating binges.
"She was completely humiliated by the decision to have her step down. She's been in tears ever since. Her closest friends, including BFF Gayle King, are rallying to give her support during what she's calling 'one of the lowest points' of her life. But Oprah's emotional condition continues to deteriorate," said the source.
According to the Enquirer, Winfrey has been working hard to boost ratings. She has apparently launched a new talk show, hired new executives and added new programmes to the network. However, this was not enough to convince management otherwise as the network has lost over $330 million (about R2,8 billion). Additionally, Winfrey axed 30 staff members and cancelled a scheduled talk show by Rosie O'Donnell.

Hopefully this will lead to a Federal Securities Fraud investigation against Mr Textor, his board members, his Palm Beach political friends who looked the other way, and Stuart based McNicholas and Associates. McNicholas is familiar with Corporate frauds in that when the CEO of a Stuart Citrus Company was fired from the citrus company several years ago, by the board after exposing and filing Federal Securities Fraud charges against the companies board and the companies attorney, Palm Beach convicted disgraced, disbarred scumbag, Donald Mintmire, McNicholas was called in and began releasing false and misleading press releases. When questioned by Federal Investigators as to why he would knowingly do that, McNicholas replied, "I only wrote what they told me to write".
Fascinating. Why does McNicholas' name always come up when something sordid is discussed?

Pat Buchanan: Leading from behind Al Sharpton
But why, when the fires of anger over the Zimmerman verdict were dying down, did he go into that pressroom and stir them up?
"Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago," said Obama.
But which Trayvon?
The one walking home with Skittles and tea? Or the one who sucker-punched Zimmerman, decked him, piled on, pummeled him martial arts style, hammered his head on the sidewalk, ignored his screams for help and got shot by the guy he was assaulting?
If Obama thinks the verdict was justified, why did he not urge that the demonstrations, marches, vandalism and violence cease?
The President sent his "thoughts and prayers" to Trayvon's family.
Obama moved swiftly off the trial and into a rambling discourse on the black experience and racial profiling.
What is Obama up to? Answer. A law professor, he knows this case, based on evidence and testimony, was open and shut. And he knows Eric Holder is not going to file any hate-crime civil rights charges.
"There are very few African-American men who haven't had the experience of walking across the street and hearing the locks click on the doors of cars. That happens to me ... before I was a senator."
"That happens often," said Obama. Undeniably. But why do black males awaken such apprehensions and fears? Is it their color?
The "liberal Sentencing Project organization," says Unz, estimates that "one-third of all black men are already convicted criminals by their 20s, and the fraction would surely be far higher for those living in urban areas."
Obama traced the "violence ... in poor black neighborhoods" to "poverty and ... a very difficult history.
But slavery and segregation were far closer in time to the black America of the 1950s, and poverty was far greater. Yet we never saw crime and incarceration rates like we see today in Black America.
As newspapers avoid the issue of black racism and rarely give the stats on interracial crime, Obama dwelt lovingly on the indignities of racial profiling — without really addressing the root cause.
But Obama was where he likes to be, leading from behind — this time behind Al Sharpton.
Pat Buchanan is a former Republican and Reform Party candidate for President, an adviser to two Presidents, a syndicated columnist based in Washington, D.C., and the author of"Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?"

Remember when I said the following:
GDP as reported
From my view point point, the interesting bit about GDP is NOT inflation (i.e. real vs. nominal GDP), but rather the fact that the number which is reported is a first derivative. It is the change in GDP which is reported, not the actual number. And, this is significant because generally a business cycle troughs when the change in GDP goes from being negative for a significant period to being positive for a significant period. Equally, a business cycle peak (read recession) occurs when the change in GDP goes from being positive for a significant period to being negative for a significant period. So, it is the change in GDP that everyone cares about. But, reporting the change brings in a few statistical anomalies that are important.
This was a point I made in May in "Economic recovery and the perverse math of GDP reporting" when everyone was convinced the bottom was falling out, but I was predicting a fake recovery. It is the change in GDP that matters, not the absolute level. Well, the numbers work the same in both directions. And given the fact I see a double dip now as a baseline by early 2011, this makes Paul Krugman's recent missive very much on point.
One thing that often becomes clear when we talk about prospects for next year — which worry me — is that there's a lot of confusion over the timing of stimulus impacts. Even well-informed people will say things like "we've only spent a quarter of the money, so let's wait and see what happens." Menzie Chinn tried to get at this confusion recently; here's my take.
Let me work with a stylized numerical example. It doesn't quite match the real stimulus — there's no distinction between spending and tax cuts, and it tails off much faster than the real thing. But I think it's close enough to make the point. Here's the table:
In the table, "Rate" is the total stimulus spending within each quarter. "Change" is the change in stimulus spending from the previous quarter. And "Cumulative is the total spending to date.
Translation: it's irrelevant what percentage of the stimulus spending has already been spent. That is not how GDP is measured. It's the quarter-on-quarter change in GDP that is relevant – and government stimulus subtracts from the change in GDP starting in Q3 2010 (see column two above).
This is why President Obama's explanation for his recent turn toward deficit hawk is misguided. He said he wants to avoid a double dip recession, but clearly this is baked into the cake unless he increases spending and/or lowers taxes. What's more is fiscal year 2011 for states and municipalities will go into effect at just that point – and with a huge deficit looming, that translates into another massive reduction in spending or a huge increase in taxes or both.
If the recent spectacle of government handouts to big Pharma and the banks via GSE mortgage market intervention give you that warm and fuzzy feeling about the efficacy of stimulus, then you'll want to see some serious additional stimulus to prevent this coming train wreck. Otherwise, brace yourself for serious economic problems in the U.S. starting in the second-half of 2010 – just in time for the mid-term elections. And given already high levels of unemployment and fragile asset markets, expect serious carnage in both the real and financial economies.

November 2010 elections likely will see the Democrats lose their majority. This will paralyze the Hill and leave lame the White House. Control of the country and its economy will be lost.

Excellent post Edward. I must admit that (though I knew that about GDP reporting) I never really thought it through to this extent.Thanks
economicminor • December 29th, 2009 at 9:03 am
Unemployment insurance payments have been propping up consumer spending. Many states have borrowed money to prop up depleted UE Insurance funds.. States are in distress from shrinking tax receipts. There will come a day when consumer spending shrinks dramatically.Borrowing to maintain consumption might have made sense when the cause of the recession was due to inventory issues only but this time the recession is all about over indebtedness which caused inventory issues.If additional borrowing was to have had any long term positive effect on the system, it would have had to been directed at those who were carrying more debt than they could handle. Not at those who lent it to them… And not at levels just adequate to prop them up allowing them to barely maintain.As shown in the table above, current monetary policy is obviously just a prop that can not be maintained indefinitely. There will come a point where either interest on the new debt rises or debt is monetized or both. There will come a time when payments to those who can't find a job will be affordable for states to continue. When that happens foreclosures will again rise and consumer spending will fall.The only way out of another decline IMO would be increased employment by for profit private enterprise. I don't see that happening until consumers have adequately deleveraged and commodity prices, including energy, to have fallen adequately. Demand is always there, it is the ability to purchase at current prices, especially in housing, that has become way out of balance with after tax disposable incomes.

What process causes the decomposition of water?
Topic: Chemistry
What process causes the decomposition of water?
3 Answers | add yours
The decomposition of water is caused by the process called electrolysis. This involves the passing of electricity through water, but the water must be added with a small amount of ionic compound or dilute sulphuric acid to it, which would make it a better conductor of electricity. The products in this process are two volumes of hydrogen at the cathode and one volume of oxygen at the anode.
Posted by revolution on February 22, 2010 at 10:00 PM (Answer #4)
There exists different processes, chemical or electrical, that help to decompose the water in its components, hydrogen and oxygen. Hence, these processes are able to break down the bonds in water molecule.
The electrical process is called water electrolysis and it is based on a electrical current that splits the water molecule in ions of hydroxide `(OH)^-` and hydrogen protons `H^+` .
The main problem in electrolysis is the production of CO_2 gas. The electrolysis does not produce itself `CO_2` , but the methods of producing the needed electrical current may release `CO_2` .
High temperature steam electrolysis is a method of producing hydrogen from water, using solar energy, hence, without releasing amounts of `CO_2` .
Posted by sciencesolve on June 26, 2013 at 3:17 PM (Answer #5)
Water is the chemical substance with chemical formula H2O: one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, water is a polar molecule. The oxygen has a slight negative charge while the hydrogens have a slight positive charge giving the article a strong effective dipole moment. The interactions between the different dipoles of each molecule cause a net attraction force associated with water's high amount of surface tension.

BMW's "Shameful" Greek Used Car Ad |
Written by Brandy Schaffels | |||
Thursday, 24 July 2008 20:39 | |||
Everybody on the American women's blogging network is talking about a recent BMW ad (pictured at the left). And all of them are offended by it. Yvonne DeVita at Lipsticking.com is fuming, saying "This ad isn't just visually disturbing. The text is also poorly thought-out. It's for USED cars...and it says, "You know you're not the first." Clearly a sexual connotation meant to depict the young girl as...already having had sex, at least once. This, of course, makes her a sex object, for...the men looking at the ad? It's surely not for women." LearnedonWomen.com says the "sleazy sexual innuendo is marketing to men at its most lazy - not only alienating women who may have been potential BMW buyers, but riling so many women bloggers in the marketing field, and beyond, that it will surely become a negative blogging influence case study." So I ask my readers the same question I ask myself and my children every time I see a new ad for the first time, before the object for sale is immediately obvious: "What ARE they trying to sell here?" The women bloggers have lots of conjecture about the message. Lots of angry words about the combination of sexual innuendo and automotive advertising. Lots more angry words about the inappropriate message implied in the tagline printed in rather small white type across the shoulder of a possibly inappropriately-young young girl. Lots of assumptions about what it is supposed to mean. Lots of condemnation of BMW for using such a message to sell its premier used cars. Words that include sexual abuse, pedophilia, and sexual predators. So what's the message? "You know you're not the first." Most simply described "BMW premium used cars are so beautiful, it won't matter if you're not the first driver." Is it effective? Well, as everybody in advertising knows, advertising is effective if it gets people talking about the product. Are we talking about the product? Hell, yes! Good or bad, this message is flying all over the blogosphere at broadband speeds while men and women alike look and comment. As copyranter says "Sex and car advertising have of course been diddling each other for decades." And Tracy Clark-Flory at salon.com asks if "Used women are like used cars?" Hmm... more on that later.... Is it appropriate? Unfortunately, perceiving this lovely young woman as "used," is a very bad and offensive image in the United States. However, there has been no discussion of the fact that this is a GREEK ad, meant to sell premium used BMW cars to MEN in GREECE, where the age of sexual consent is 15 years old. Yeah, I checked it. According to Interpol: "Age of consent for sexual activity: The legal age of consent for sexual activity is fifteen (15) years." Whispering: Did you know they also allow nude sunbathing on the public beaches there? Some might also consider that offensive. I would simply like to remind "Different strokes for different folks." My son is 15 years old, so I asked him to give me his assessment of the ad. First, he placed the girl's age between 16 and 20 years old -- and he sure should recognize the girl's age since he's closest to her demographic. (I don't want to think too much about it, but I'm pretty certain he's evaluated his fair share of girls between the age of 14 and 20.) Second, he said it was stupid. Clearly he's not the intended audience because he can't afford the car and he doesn't live in Greece. But it's also important to note that all these offended American women bloggers are also not the intended audience, since they are not Greek men either. Trust me: BMW marketers spent a lot of time, money, and research developing that ad for its intended market. The fact that we are offended by it only PROVES that WE ARE NOT its intended market. Regarding the concern over the girl's apparent young age... My son is 15, and I sure don't want to believe that he could be having intercourse. But I am a Puritan American and my beliefs are probably very different than the demographic to which this ad is directed. Speaking of being a Puritan American, I had a very good friend from Pakistan who once revealed to me that he would be moving back home to marry the bride his mother had arranged for him. I went off on a rant about how primitive, barbaric, and uncivilized arranged marriages were, and he gently helped me see the romantic traditional perspective that he and his family shared. I was embarrassed to learn that my opinion was not the only one, and that the American way was not the official opinion of the rest of the world. And I am quite certain my friend Aamir and his beautiful arranged bride are living a wonderful life together in Pakistan, no matter how barbaric the tradition might seem to some here in America. So here we are: If anything, I take offense to the image of a woman being compared to a used car. My car has 143,000 miles and looks it (as a matter of fact, so do I). On the other hand, it still offers a darn good ride -- even though we both wish we could be as pretty again as any premium used BMW car, or any premium used BMW model. BMW has another advertisement starring a beautiful little girl here at Youtube : Same theme, different presentation: "BMW's premium used cars are so beautiful, it won't matter if you're not the first driver." BMW marketers also spent a lot of time, money, research creating this ad for the American market. It is spot on: young girl, used cars, spoiled innocence. Much better for us Puritan Americans. Probably not as effective in Greece, but this is the one BMW intended Americans to see and is much more appropriate to its audience. 'Nuff said.

- you guys, i have a confession to make. sometimes, when i post these so-called signs of the apocalypse, i don't really mean it. i might mean "this is embarrassing for everyone," or "holy shit i can't believe this is actually happening," or "this offends me as a human being." but never, never do i ever literally think "this is the end, guys. this is it. it's really happening."
until last night.
seriously, this is the zombie apocalypse of reunion tours, in which remnants of past boy bands fuse to become one large, brain-eating disease crawling slowly across the country, killing everything in their path with their embarrassing choreography and insidious remixes of twenty year old songs. we should have seen this coming. but we were blind. blind!
ladies and gentlemen, i give you nkotbsb.
if you need me, i'll be hiding in the basement with a box of non-perishables and a shotgun. okay, fine. it's a nerf gun.

State urged to stimulate tourists' spending
Retailers want luxury import taxes reduced
- Published: 31/01/2013 at 12:00 AM
- Newspaper section: Business
The Thai Retailers' Association (TRA) has urged the government to impose urgent measures to stimulate spending by foreign tourists.
President Busaba Chirathivat said Thailand welcomed more than 22 million tourists last year but their spending on shopping remained low, probably half that of tourists in Malaysia and four times lower than that of visitors to Singapore.
"The government should allow tourists to do their tax refunds at the point of sale when they buy products to increase convenience," she said.
As well, the government should consider reducing import taxes for luxury products so that tourists will shop more, helping Thailand become a shopping paradise, Ms Busaba said.
The TRA suggested the government set up a neutral organisation similar to the Japan External Trade Organisation to support companies investing abroad.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) should be helped to prepare for the Asean Economic Community. If they are stronger, they will be able to supply products to the Asean market.
Ms Busaba expects the retail industry to grow by 10-12% this year. Positive factors are government policies such as the 400-billion-baht rice pledging scheme, the minimum wage hike to 300 baht and the fiscal budget of 2.4 trillion baht, which together will make up to 3.5 trillion baht flow into the economy.
On the other hand, Ms Busaba said retail growth faces threats from political conflict and the higher minimum wage increasing retailers' salary expenses.
The retail industry grew by 12% last year. Convenience stores and specialty stores had growth of 18%, followed by department stores and supermarkets at 12% and 10%, respectively.
Chatchai Tuongratanaphan, a TRA adviser, expects convenience stores to continue to have strong growth this year because of the entry of new entrepreneurs, while organic, health and beauty products will enjoy steady growth.
High-quality and expensive products are becoming popular among Thai consumers due to their increasing incomes.
Health and beauty businesses will constantly grow and small pharmaceutical businesses will become their allies.
However, the growth of fresh markets will decline and more will become flea markets to suit the change in consumer behaviour.
Construction material businesses will grow rapidly on the strong recovery of the property sector.
Mr Chatchai suggested SMEs focus more on niche markets. Multi-channel shopping from in-store shopping to online and mobile purchases should be developed. All data will be integrated and used for consumer analysis.

WWE Superstar Batista Confirmed as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy
Half-Filipino WWE superstar Batista has been confirmed to join the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy, playing the role of Drax. In the article by The Hollywood Reporter, Batista is referred to as Bautista, which is his original surname (maybe the WWE superstar intends to use his real name David Michael "Dave" Bautista, Jr. for his acting career or a modified version of it).
Mixed martial artist and WWE wrestler Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Studios' sci-fi adventure movie being directed by James Gunn.
Drax is a human resurrected as a green warrior with the sole purpose of killing Thanos (the villain in the final-scene tease of Avengers). His powers include flight, super-strength and energy blasts.

June 9, 2010 AT writer Linda Halderman wins primary election
The year 2010 is going down as a year for not just women candidates, but newcomers. One of the female newcomers is AT writer Linda Halderman, who handily won the Republican nomination for the 29th Assembly District in California. The Fresno Bee reports:
Final election results show that Halderman easily won the GOP race against two other candidates, and also drew more votes than the unopposed Democrat running for the nomination. She should be an easy victor. The California State Assembly will be crucial battleground for fiscal reform. The Democrats have long dominated both houses of the California legislature and have spent the state into virtual bankruptcy. It remains to be seen whether or not voters will throw out the Democrats, but even if not, principled, intelligent, and energetic legislators such as Dr. Halderman will play a huge role in restoring sanity to the Golden State. Keep in mind that the California state government budget is roughly that of France. Controlling its $100 billion-plus annual budget is a major task. It is not inconceivable that the state could enter bankruptcy, unable to pay its bills, especially if the legislature refuses to cut spending. Dr Halderman will have her work cut out for her if she wins the 29th District seat.
Dr. Halderman's campaign website is found here. See also today in AT: Sarah Palin the big winner Tuesday, unions the big loser |

I had a bliss-tastic weekend, cramped with snowboarding and knitting. No pictures in evidence of snowboarding and knitting so I'll just have to rely on my memories to escape to on crummier days.
This weekend is "Give It a Rest You're Not in College Anymore" Spring Break Tour 2006.
Ok, not so much a "tour" since we're just going to Vegas. But maybe calling it a tour is appropriate, considering that the spot provides not only Adventures in Space (everywhere from Paris to New York) but Travels in Time as well (Roman periods at Ceasar's to Arabian nights at Aladdin, not to mention the blackouts).
I'm not much of a gambler (losing 7 rounds of Pisoy in a row this weekend proved that) so the adoration that I hold for Vegas is more reliant on the delightful ability to buy a daquiri at the Venetian, drink it at the Bellagio, and leave the glass at MGM. Buying the $1 margarita from that cheap casino and walking with it to grub on $5 steak never ceases to amaze me... probably because I've promptly forgotten all about it the next morning.

LIBOR Manipulation: Is Barclays Only the Beginning?
[From Bloomberg Law, here's Tangent Capital Partners' Chris Whalen on why the problem isn't so much the banks manipulating LIBOR, but LIBOR itself. Link: Whalen: Libor Is A Collusive Price Set By Collusive Banks]
"Investigations by regulators in several countries, including Canada, America, Japan, the EU, Switzerland and Britain, are looking into allegations that LIBOR and similar rates were rigged by large numbers of banks. Corporations and lawyers, too, are examining whether they can sue Barclays or other banks for harm they have suffered. That could cost the banking industry tens of billions of dollars… As many as 20 big banks have been named in various investigations or lawsuits alleging that LIBOR was rigged." (The rotten heart of finance)
For your reference, legal advisories on the growing scandal, from lawyers and law firms on JD Supra. We'll add updates as they come in:
Libor Manipulation Probe and Litigation Update (Sedgwick LLP):
"As U.S. and U.K. regulators' investigations into the conduct of other major banks are ongoing, it seems possible that, depending on their findings, they could also be the subject of significant penalties. This may fuel ongoing litigation in the U.S. against financial institutions and other parties in relation to Libor manipulation and it is possible similar claims may be made in other jurisdictions, such as the U.K." Read on»
FSA Fines Barclays £59.5 Million for Manipulation of LIBOR (Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP):
"On 27 June 2012, the FSA published the final notice issued to Barclays Bank plc, detailing a £59.5 million fine for misconduct relating to its submission of rates that formed part of the London Interbank Offered Rate and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate. This is the largest ever fine that the FSA has imposed." Read on»
Explanation of the Alleged LIBOR Manipulation Scheme (Howard Ullman):
"Good background on the alleged scheme to manipulate LIBOR. Via NPR's Planet Money program, again. About halfway through, the program discusses allegations of interbank agreements to manipulate reported LIBOR rates… But does an interbank LIBOR conspiracy even make sense? Below in the link from economicpolicyjournal.com there's an argument that the scandal is really a tempest in a teapot, because the banks can't set the interest rates." Read on»
On the Barclays Scandal-This is Not a Compliance Failure It's an Ethical Failure (Thomas Fox):
"In the movie 'Margin Call' the character played by Jeremy Irons says that there are three ways to lead in business: (1) Be the smartest; (2) Be there first; (3) Cheat. I thought about this trichotomy when reading several articles about the fine of $450 MM agreed to by the British bank Barclays on June 27, 2012 to settle allegations that it tried to manipulate certain benchmarks for rates, most particularly the London Interbank Offered Rates or LIBOR." Read on»
The Death of LIBOR? (Partridge Snow & Hahn LLP):
"Robert Diamond's resignation today as CEO of Barclays PLC is the direct result of the bank's deliberate submission of artificially low reports of its borrowing costs from 2005 to 2009. These reports were used by the British Bankers' Association in compiling data from major banks and using that data in determining the London Interbank Offered Rate ('LIBOR"). At least a dozen other banks, including Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, HSBC and UBS, are being investigated to determine if they likewise submitted false reports of their borrowing costs to the British Bankers' Association." Read on»
SFO Press Release on Manipulation of LIBOR (Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP):
"… the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) published a press release regarding the manipulation of the setting of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). In the press release, the SFO stated that it had been working closely with the FSA and now that the FSA has concluded its investigation into the regulatory misbehaviour, the SFO is considering whether it is both appropriate and possible to bring criminal prosecutions."

Her other top writing prizes include a Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, a MacArthur Fellowship, a Pushcart Prize and two O. Henry awards. Another story collection, "Servants of the Map," was a finalist for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
In the Globe profile, Barrett discusses her time at Union, where she met her future husband, Barry Goldstein '73, a photographer and professor of medical humanities at the University of Rochester.
