Investors lose £200m through land banking
Crooks are using dodgy investment schemes to defraud unwary people.

The City Watchdog is getting tough with illegal land bankers which are fleecing unwary investors with dodgy investment claims. But even as the Financial Services Authority cracks down, crooks are moving on to new scams, according to accountant Grant Thornton, with Olympic ticket fraud expected to grow next year.
This week, after a series of dawn raids on nine premises in Kent and London, five people were arrested, all suspected of being involved in land banking by way of an unauthorised collective investment scheme.
Land banking involves selling investors plots of land on the promise they will soar in value if planning permission is granted. The carrot used is the prospect of a big firm – such as Tesco – being prepared to pay top dollar for the land to build a superstore, for instance.
However, the land sold is often in areas of natural beauty or historical interest, which means it has little chance of being built on because it is unlikely to get planning permission. Anyone who has bought a plot in such circumstances will end up with an worthless white elephant they will probably be unable to sell.
While land banking itself is not illegal, the scams have become a major problem in recent years. Crooks target unsuspecting investors with their promises of the potential for fantastic returns. But in many cases the schemes are just a front for fraud with the land being worthless or, in some cases, not even owned by the fraudsters. Investors have lost £200m through dodgy schemes, the FSA reckons.
Because land banking is not illegal, the FSA can act only when it catches people flogging land through an unauthorised collective investment scheme. But it can refer land bankers to Trading Standards, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills or even to the police.
Many of the crooks are moving on to other scams, warned David Ingram of Grant Thornton. "The very nature of frauds such as land banking, is that they are constantly reinvented, with the fraudsters devising new scams which play upon current trends and are, as such, quite credible before they are scrutinised."
He said he had recently seen several cases which suggested the culprits were flipping from one style of fraud to another, such as wine investment.
"I believe there will be a big increase in Olympic ticket fraud in the run up to 2012," Ingram warned. "Alternative energy scams are also on the rise, as individuals are encouraged to invest in a particular crop with the promise of significant returns as it can be used for biofuels, government subsidies and to combat rising oil prices."
If you have been contacted by a land banking operation or other unauthorised investment scheme, call the FSA's consumer helpline on 0845 606 1234.

House Passes Controversial Farm Bill
Tempers flare in Congress, over a big change in a Farm bill. The controversial bill passed on a 216-208 vote.
FOX News Radio's Jared Halpern reports from Washington:
Audio clip:
A quickly-crafted agriculture funding bill was met with fiery opposition from House Democrats.
(Brown) "Mitt Romney was right. You all do not care about the 47%. Shame on you!"
…Florida Democrat Corrine Brown.
Republicans stripped the bill of food stamp spending. It was an effort to bring in more Conservative support after a larger farm bill failed last month.
(Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas) "If you're serious about making sure every American has a safe, affordable, reliable food supply, then vote for the bill."
Republicans say they plan a separate vote on food stamp funding. Conservatives are eyeing deep cuts. The Senate passed a farm bill with modest reductions to food stamp funding.
In Washington, Jared Halpern, FOX News Radio.

The Rose Garden At Saumarez Park
The rose garden at Saumarez Park holds a special place in the park's history, but in April 2008 the gardens bushes had to be replaced. BBC Guernsey's Gareth Owen found out why.
In 2007, the garden in Saumarez Park was not looking its best after an attack of the Honey Fungus parasite.
Working on the rose garden
Back in 1986 as part of the 40th anniversary of the liberation of Guernsey the garden underwent a major restoration to return it to its former glory.
Since then, the States has maintained the gardens and every year islanders and visitors have enjoyed its peace and tranquility.
In 2008, the States decided to restore the garden fully by taking drastic action and replacing the rose bushes.
The park is also home to the Honey Fungus as it has a large amount of trees and as a result the fungus had moved towards the rose garden after trees nearby were infected with the disease.
Senior Manager at States Works, Malcolm Cleal said "Saumarez Park has always had a problem with Honey Fungus" and the only option which was open to States Works was to remove existing roots and shrubs and allow the soil to regenerate.

Yes, You Can Be In Two Places At Once
Recently, Southern Sunday School students did a program on Jewish heroes. The students were having a great time, collaborating, playing games—all while hundreds of miles apart.
For the Global Day of Jewish Learning, we gathered students and teachers in Pinehurst, North Carolina, for this program on Jewish heroes. More students than you'd usually find in the Pinehurst classroom showed up—because half of our participants weren't in Pinehurst. They weren't even in North Carolina. They were actually in Greenville, South Carolina, three and a half hours away!
Stop the presses. Has the ISJL figured out how to split Education Fellows like me into two pieces, so that we can be in two different cities at once? Have we discovered the secret to Hermione Granger's famous time-turner from the Harry Potter books?
Unfortunately, we are still working on the time-turner. But what we have mastered is an important 21st century skill – the art of effective, engaging interactive video calling.
We use video calling technology almost every day from our office in Jackson, Mississippi. Whether communicating with staff members working in other cities or with Bar/Bat Mitzvah students located around our region, doing important Jewish work via Skype or Google Hangout is a regular part of day-to-day work at the ISJL. So, when Sandhills Jewish Congregation in Pinehurst and Congregation Beth Israel in Greenville expressed interest in setting up a program, where their students could meet (virtually), I was eager to make it happen.
Our program was entitled the "Jewish Olympics" and it was very similar to a Maccabiah experience that might occur at Jewish camp. There were a variety of games that we played with and against one another, from Jewpardy (Jewish-themed Jeopardy) to a Play-doh sculpture contest. The ruach (spirit) of all the teams, across both cities and through our screens, was quite impressive.
One of the highlights of the program was our Jewish Heroes scavenger hunt. For this scavenger hunt, there were images of 20 Jewish Heroes hidden in the two congregations, with short biographies of their achievements included so that the kids could learn a bit about them. Half of the images were hidden in Beth Israel (Greenville) and half were at SJC (Pinehurst). The blue team in Greenville, for example, had to find all ten of their heroes, while their teammates in Pinehurst, had to find all ten of theirs. On the back of each clue was a letter, and upon finding all the clues, in both cities the teams had to work with their teammates in the other city via Skype to put the letters together and decode a secret message.
The message? "We made new Jewish friends."
We wrapped up with "Closing Ceremonies" and with students in Greenville performing "Wherever You Go, There's Always Someone Jewish" for the students in Pinehurst.
In years to come, I think it is safe to say that technology will help us innovate entirely new ways of educating Jewish students. But we should not assume that such innovating can only occur in the future. We are already living in a time when it is possible to program across virtually any geographical boundary using applications available for free . What this means for the future of Jewish education is still an open-ended question. But with some imagination and experimentation, we just might find answers to that question that fundamentally re-shape and re-create our Jewish future.

An End to Appointment Judaism?
I am an avid television watcher, to say the least. My weekly repertoire includes everything from sports and the news, to reality TV and cop shows—I'm an equal opportunity viewer. Right now, I keep up with about 25 shows (which, even to me, seems insane).
In the recent past, my packed schedule might seem daunting. It would mean staying in most nights, planted in front of the TV, ignoring plans and friends. Now, with a few taps on my iPad screen and a Wi-Fi signal, I can stream whatever I missed, at my own convenience. Thanks to online streaming services and network television websites, almost every episode of every program is readily accessible.
So, what does this have to do with Judaism?
Synagogues across the country are live-streaming their services. With a simple google search for "stream Shabbat," one can access Shabbat services from congregations across the country and across the movements. Not only can folks click on and stream, but also some congregations even store services in online archives, to be accessed for on-demand play.
Television streaming has been heralded as the end of appointment television—could streaming services mean the end of appointment Judaism?
Before I moved to the South and started working full time, I attended Shabbat services with frequency. This was important to me, especially considering I'm part of the 20-35 year old demographic seemingly absent from many congregational Jewish communities. Getting to shul was easy in Columbus, Ohio—and I had options. That's not the case, though, in many of the communities the ISJL serves.
Rest assured, Jewish communities are alive and well in the South (and some are even live-streaming their services!), but often, there is only one option for a synagogue in town. Whereas folks in cities with larger Jewish populations can essentially congregation shop, picking a rabbi and worship style in tune with their own preferences, it's not always an option in smaller, rural towns.
Enter streaming.
No Conservative service in your town? You can stream it. Your friend's son is a rabbi in Detroit? You can stream it. You can't spend the hour in the car it would take to get to temple? Too tired? Can't find a babysitter? Stream. Stream. Stream.
I, for one, love the entryways to Jewish practice that online streaming provides. It makes religious observance accessible to people who might otherwise not hear Torah chanted or find a min'yan to say Kaddish. But I understand the hesitation some might feel before jumping on board.
I think a primary concern is that worshipers will replace live attendance with online streaming—synagogues, especially those small in size, will close. The sense of community built in Hebrew school classes, sisterhood meetings, and oneg Shabbats will dwindle. Just as appointment TV has fallen by the wayside, so too will congregational Judaism. That narrative makes sense to me, until I hear stories from people actually streaming services.
A friend of mine is a recent college graduate. When he left home for college, he moved across the country. After graduating and taking a job, he, again, moved. This Yom Kippur, he attended Kol Nidrei services at the local congregation. On Yom Kippur, he spent the day streaming services from across the United States. One from home, one from school—he was able to stay connected to the communities that instilled in him the importance of Jewish practice and tradition without eschewing the local congregation.
In the South, it's sometimes hard to find one Jewish service. We now have access to an entire world of options, and we don't have to disengage in our own communities to access them. Streaming Judaism won't replace the importance of connections, in person, but can be a wonderful supplement to traditional appointment Judaism, offering even more opportunities for Jewish life. And that's an incredible thing.

Vinyl for Hipsters vs. Vinyl for High Holy Days: Or, "Old School Columbia Records"
This blog post was written by Anna Stusser, a summer intern currently working in the Museum Department at the ISJL.
Vinyl records capture the imagination. In my hometown of Olympia, Washington, independent craft artists fashion bowls to and household items out of vinyl, appealing to the local indie market. In Brooklyn, the hipster set has revived an interest in vinyl records. I, too, have always seen the charm in the shape and vintage appeal of record players – which is why I became so excited when, in my first few days interning at the ISJL, I found some vintage LP records in the ISJL collection.
It is hard to imagine that modern day hipster twentysomethings, smoking cigarettes on a Brooklyn stoop, have anything in common with a small early-twentieth Southern Jewish congregation. (Other than maybe being Jewish – apparently, Jewish hipsters are their own subculture, and they're into vinyl!)
But here they were, vintage vinyl records that would be prized today in Brooklyn, donated to the ISJL's museum collection by a congregation in Columbia, Tennessee. Why were these vinyl records important to the daily life of their congregation? Why would Jews have vinyl records that they would consider important enough to donate to a museum that dedicates itself to Southern Jewish ethnography?
After discussing it with my supervisor and reviewing the titles of such records (some example: Kol Nidre and Eili, Eili), I began to understand that these vinyl records had been something less trendy, and more functional. More meaningful.
To listen to Cantor Moshe Koussevitzky Singing Aneinu, as featured on one of the records, you can play this recording on YouTube (unfortunately not available as an embedded video, but worth a listen!).
Jews worshiping in Columbia, Tennessee, in the first half of the twentieth century, had no full time rabbi to guide them. Many of the Jewish people living in the area commuted into Nashville for their spiritual needs. However, in the early part of the 1900s, a group of people started the Khal Kadosh Congregation, a name which means "Holy Community." Bilingual services were held in Hebrew and English for a congregation of 16, just barely above the size of a minyan, took place on the second floor of community member Isaac Wolf's store. Although they had no permanent location, the small congregation acquired an Ark and a Torah. The records from Columbia very likely supplemented the services provided. Unfortunately, Khal Kadosh did not survive past 1926, so we do not know for sure.
But it's a likely conclusion that the Jewish people living in Columbia utilized vinyl records out of necessity, because that was the technology that was available at the time. Back then, vinyl wasn't vintage. It was cutting edge.
Small congregations like the one once found in Columbia, TN, still exist today. In the South, many of them are served by the ISJL's rabbinic department, led by Rabbi Marshal Klaven. From Skype B'nai Mitzvah lessons to sending out his Taste of Torah weekly emails, today's virtual resources have replaced those found on vinyl.
Do you remember vinyl – or as a young adult, are you discovering it for the first time? We'd love to hear your vinyl stories, especially if you've ever listened to recordings of Jewish music!

Mesquite Poteet softball eager to get started
Updated: January 22, 2010, 3:46 PM ETBy Randy Jennings/Special contributor
Friday is the first official day for UIL softball practice all over the state, a date on the calendar circled in red at Mesquite Poteet.
Seven Poteet players return this season from a state tournament qualifier that went 35-10-1 and finished one win away from the Class 4A state finals.
"There's a lot of excitement about 2010,'' said Poteet coach Joe Huber, "as well as some nervousness from our new varsity players because they are aware of the expectations of our seven returners.''

Scheldepoort Repair & Conversion Yard won a Royal Netherlands Navy contract to modernize and upgrade the propeller shaft lines and generator sets of four Air Defenxe and Command Frigates.
Part of the Damen Shipyards Group, Scheldepoort is based in Vlissingen in the south of the Netherlands, and specialises in maintenance, modifications, repairs and refits. Peter Sterkenburg, Sales Manager at Scheldepoort, comments: "After an extensive negotiation period, we are very proud to have been selected for this technically challenging and complex project."
Technology has moved on considerably since the vessels were built, some 12 years ago, by our sister company Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS), he says. "Modifying the Controllable Pitch Propeller system will make the vessels much more fuel efficient, quieter and more environmentally friendly – crucial in today's environment. At the same time the frigates will be more powerful and the systems smaller and lighter."
The new engines of the generator sets - four on each vessel - are being delivered, engineered and modified by Wärtsilä. And in cooperation with Scheldepoort the generator sets will be replaced. Scheldepoort has partnered Imtech Marine for the electrical and automation work on the generator sets.
The first of the vessels, 'HR. MS. De Zeven Provinciën', is expected to arrive at the yard on August 13 and the second in early 2013, with the last two arriving in 2014. Each vessel is expected to take 70 to 80 days to complete and Scheldepoort has a dedicated team working on the naval contract.
Wärtsilä has been given full notice to proceed (NTP) from Manga LNG Oy for the supply of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in Tornio, Northern Finland.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
"Life and living only exist in the present moment. Our untrained mind often causes us suffering when it dwells on past experiences, or future fears, clouding this moment where living actually occures. Depression, anxiety, our beliefs about our selves and others, all stem from these unnecessary thoughts and their related emotions. Our mind must come to realize that it is the cause of its own unhappiness. Then whatever we experience in life is no longer overwhelming.

Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson arrested in Broward
Expected to post bail
Chad Johnson, the former Miami Dolphins wide receiver who went on the lam after failing to check in with his probation officer, was arrested and jailed in Broward County Monday morning. The Broward Sheriff's Office and Broward state attorney's office confirmed that Johnson appeared in court for his probation violations and was subsequently ordered to jail. He is expected to post bail and will likely be released soon, authorities said.
A warrant had been issued for the former NFL player when he skipped town and missed two check-ins with his probation officer in February and in March. His Twitter account mentioned that he was in Pasadena, Calif., last week. Johnson was on probation after pleading guilty to domestic abuse of his then-wife last year. She had accused him of head-butting her during an argument over condoms she had discovered in his vehicle. The couple had been married just one month when the dust-up happened in August of last year.

Summer Vacation 2008 - Today's Christian Videos
Embed hmong4life 635 views 2010-10-02T02:09:10 In a small California town located in the Stanislaus National Forest called Arnold, the Yang Family spent their 2008 Summer Vacation for a week. At the elevation of 4,200 feet and warm temperatures and mild evenings, the Yangs spent time fishing and enjoying God's magnificent creation. Because Calaveras County is located in the heart of the Motherlode area of the 1849 Gold Rush, the Yangs also benefited from the many historic places in their site seeing adventures. The Yang Family, before they finish the week long vacation, relaxed in a quiet mountain forest atmosphere in prayers and reflections. Thank God for an amazing family vacation.

Gregory Porter's voice defines soul on Liquid Spirit: review
But the likeable jazz singer has to push himself beyond his feel-good vibe
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Gregory Porter is the jazz dream come to life, as rough-hewn as Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet yet blessed with a voice that defines soul with every note.
Better still, Porter writes oddly oblique yet startlingly beautiful songs such "Wolfcry," found halfway through Liquid Spirit, his third album since 2010 and the first on a major label.
A ballad about spiritual and sexual salvation, "Wolfcry" has all the ingredients of a movie screenplay where the singer — accompanied just by the wonderfully intuitive pianist Chip Crawford — dramatically casts himself as the protector of the woman in the tear-stained "see-through silken gown."
As befits being the son of a preacher woman — Ruth Thompson, his minister mother, died in 1994 — Porter's roots are old-time gospel. The hand-clapping title track could be a standard in fundamentalist churches everywhere. Yet there's also something too good to be true about Liquid Spirit and perhaps about Porter himself.
Too much depends on the degree to which you simply like the guy. And who wouldn't with his crinkly smile and ever present Kangol hat? (It and the ever present stocking cap are worn because of recent skin surgery, he's explained.)
The pure pleasure found in his voice's syrupy richness allows you to forget that a good many of his songs — "Hey Laura," the closest the 14-tune CD has to a hit single — often recycle or revise familiar '70s soul riffs. And does his brutal caterwauling in "I Fall in Love Too Easily," the Sammy Cahn/Jule Styne standard, suggest he might be less than comfortable with the work of other songwriters? His "The In Crowd" is a writeoff.
Jazz will lose big if Porter, 42 years old this November, doesn't push himself beyond his feel-good vibe.

Apple Inc.'s shipments of iPad tablets surged 44 per cent to 17 million in the second quarter, giving the company its biggest share of the market in more than a year as devices from competitors lost ground.
Apple's market share climbed to 69.6 per cent in the quarter from 58.1 per cent in the previous three-month period, according to a report today from IHS. Cupertino, California-based Apple's share of the tablet market hasn't been that high since the first quarter of 2011, when it was 70 per cent, IHS said.
With tablet sales predicted by research firm Yankee Group to overtake those of personal computers by 2015, Apple is preparing for challengers for its iPad. Microsoft Corp. later this year will begin selling its Surface tablet, while Google Inc. introduced its Nexus 7 device in June. Amazon.com Inc. debut its Kindle Fire tablet last year.
"Apple is sending a clear message that it plans to dominate this market over the long term," said Rhoda Alexander, an analyst at IHS, in a statement today. "Apple's major media tablet rivals, Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp., hope to challenge Apple in the second half of the year, but will face formidable headwinds."
Amazon's share of the tablet market slipped to 4.2 per cent in the second quarter from 5.8 per cent in the previous three months, IHS said. Samsung Electronics Co. had a 9.2 per cent share in the second quarter, down from 10.8 per cent.

Spain in trouble as borrowing costs rise over 7%
Jeff Horwich

Investor Rick Sapio's foundation, movie aimed at creating A Billion Entrepreneurs
- Danielle Abril
- Staff Writer- Dallas Business Journal
- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
Longtime entrepreneur and investor Rick Sapio has formed a foundation and is working on a documentary film, all at accomplishing the same objective: Create a billion entrepreneurs.
The CEO of Mutual Capital Alliance, a Dallas-based investment holding company, recently celebrated the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for A Billion Entrepreneurs – The Movie. The campaign is aiming to raise $200,000 by Oct. 16 to help him and his partners finish filming the movie and distribute it.
The whole idea centers on developing an entrepreneur in every household, with the word entrepreneur being defined as someone who actively takes responsibility for the outcomes in their lives.
"If we can teach people this, then we have something," Sapio told me. "We realized in order to make this work, we need to get a crowd behind it."
In September 2013, Sapio created A Billion Entrepreneurs Foundation via the Communities Foundation of Texas, a Dallas-based nonprofit that provides grants to support community organizations and initiatives. This allowed Sapio to approach large donors, using the backing of the Communities Foundation and its established history as proof of credibility. He then invested $500,000 from Mutual Capital Alliance to help the movie get off the ground with the first pieces of footage that could be then presented via the Kickstarter campaign as a preview of what's to come.
He also started an independent foundation, which is still waiting on its 501c3 status, Jimmy Newson, the movie's director, said.
The inspiration of the film came from Newson, an entrepreneur who had bounced ideas past Sapio until they both agreed that this was the direction they needed to go. Newson and Sapio have more than 150 hours of footage filmed for the documentary, which will show the stories of four Dallas-Fort Worth entrepreneurs and their journey through entrepreneurship.
The main focus is on Ashleigh Mooney, a former employee of the corporate world who almost lost everything when she was laid off. She now serves as the executive director of Business Finishing School, a company she started to provide professionals with tools to strengthen their companies.
"This is a seed and we want it to be planted in Dallas," Sapio said. "We want it to be the founding point."
Sapio said the movie will cost another $1 million to complete. But the cost is not the issue, he said.
"My holding company could write a check for $1 million, but that's not going to get a crowd or movement going," he said. "We would much rather have a million people give a dollar than one corporation give a million dollars."

Thanks for the info. Of course, that's what they want...civil unrest. [/quote] [b]The scary part of this is, there are a lot of inexperienced people purchasing firearms. Inexperienced or with no experience. Many of us older people grew up with guns and have lived in rural environments. Using a firearm properly is second nature for many of us. This is not so for newbies who are scared and purchasing their first sidearm or long gun. Firearms in the hands of untrained beginners is what I consider dangerous. Just my personal opinion. Comments?[/b] [/quote] I understand what your saying about inexperience but most first time gun owners will most likely leave it in a closet or someplace out of the way. When the time comes to use it it's a pretty simple point-and-shoot. Getting used to aiming and proficiently using it is another matter. In other word the safety of being armed overrides the dangers to themselves most of the time. [/quote] I urge you to help a friend learn, because it isn't point and shoot. A lot of guys and ladies are NOT mechanically minded and when they have to disassemble anything they get easily confused with something as ridiculously simple as a Glock. They're afraid of a gun, so they're already nervous. Under a real situation with no training, not understanding which eye is dominant, at night (normal situation) inside a home with thin walls, and not thinking ahead about penetration and loved ones, and that's a shitstorm of hurt. Teach one person. [/quote] My sister is the one I helped. I think your better off being armed then not but after that your better off having REAL WORLD experience with the firearm you choose for protection. I agree with Nicola Tesla but we just have a slightly different way of looking at it I think. Many people buy guns just because they can "just in case". Many of them won't touch them or handle them after purchase which is a shame because while people should feel comfortable with their tool of protection it DOES minimize the dangers of accidental discharge for first time buyers. If we were at war where a gun is used constantly enough to require regular maintenance I would agree. [/quote]
Original Message
Today this gun thing got real for me.
I was in PA today and went to BPS and Cabela. I was stunned.
At BPS they were almost totally sold out of ALL handguns. CASES and CASES were totally empty. GONE. They were totally out of 9mm, 357 ammo and just about everything else. I took pictures but since there's people in them I'm not going to post them. Staff says they can't get anything else at this point, their suppliers are out. There was a sizable crowd scanning the empty cases and shelves. Salespeople I talked to said they are convinced that if anyone tries to take weapons from Americans there's going to be a civil war. They said they're seeing people who used to be anti-gun want to get one because they're afraid of what they think is happening.
Later, I stopped at Cabelas. This place is right off the highway and very visible from a distance. The crowd there was even bigger. They still had a few --
very few
--handguns but nothing left that was a carry piece, imo. I'm sure they were depleted of the little they had by the end of the day. As for ammo, they were limiting to 10 box max. There was almost nothing left.
i'm finding it hard to convey how real all seems to be becoming.

An accused hedge fund fraudster has been slapped with an asset freeze as federal regulators investigate an alleged $40 million Ponzi scheme.
The Securities and Exchange Commission secured the freeze against William Huber, who it says lied to investors in his three hedge funds managed by his Decatur, Ill.-based Hubadex Inc., about both their size and their returns, and used some of their money to fund his lavish bi-coastal lifestyle.
According to the SEC's civil suit against Huber, he told investors in his Quarter Funds, Symmetry Fund and Trimester Fund that he was managing more than $40 million, when he actually had just $3 million. Huber sent out bogus account statements to his alleged victims as recently as Aug. 31 making the claim, the SEC said.
But the regulator said that's not all Huber lied about: He allegedly told his clients that the funds were generating big returns. In fact, the SEC claims, Huber lost money on the trading that he did, but collected performance fees on the bogus returns, anyway.
The money he didn't invest he spent on himself, the SEC said, including homes in Pelican Bay, Fla., and La Jolla, Calif.
Bernard Madoff's downfall led to yet more lying, the SEC said. In the wake of Madoff's massive $65 billion Ponzi scheme, Huber e-mailed his clients claiming that he was no Madoff. He is also accused of lying to agency staff during their probe.
The SEC complaint, filed in Chicago, also named Huber's wife, Ruthann, and his funds as relief defendants.

Eskom asked to integrate additional new-build options into tariff submissionBack

The initial deadline for submission to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) had been set for August 31 and CFO Paul O'Flaherty said on Wednesday that Eskom had been more than ready to submit its third multiyear price determination period (MYPD3) documentation, which ran to around 3 000 pages, by that date.
He stressed, too, that Eskom's "compliant" and "competent" application had been widely canvassed with government and civil society stakeholders.
Nevertheless, O'Flaherty refused to be drawn on the quantum, or the phasing, of the increases being sought, saying only that the application that was meant to have been submitted on Friday had included "double digit" increases over the period.
The utility currently estimated cost-reflective tariffs to be 90c/kWh (real), against prevailing tariffs of around 60c/kWh and the application had been guided by the principle of transitioning towards cost-reflectivity over a five-year horizon, from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2018. Such a transition was necessary to provide assurance to Eskom bondholders and to the credit ratings agencies that the utility had the standalone capacity to repay the R227-billion of borrowings it was raising to pay for its R323-billion build programme.
It had been reported separately that Eskom would be seeking yearly increases of between 14.6% and 19% over the period, which was likely to meet resistance from stakeholders. The Energy Intensive User Group had already indicated that prices were rising "too fast and too high" for companies to remain globally competitive.
Should the clarifications being sought from government be forthcoming by the end of the week, O'Flaherty said Eskom should be able to redraft its submission by the end of September or early October.
But Nersa, whose consultation timeframes were being curtailed by the delay, had the authority to set a new deadline. At this stage, there was broad-based agreement that the March 15, 2013, deadline for approval by Parliament should not be shifted.
Government was concerned that the MYPD3 application had not catered for likely costs associated with any new Eskom projects beyond the Kusile power station, and had also limited the renewable energy horizon to those associated with the current process to procure 3 725 MW.
O'Flaherty said multiple scenarios had been considered, but Eskom felt it could only submit on the basis of approved projects, or for projects supported by a determination by the Energy Minister Dipuo Peters.
The application had also been informed by an assumption that energy demand would not grow by more than 1.9% a year, which was far below initial estimates of demand expanding by over 3% a year.
In other words, the application was not aligned to the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP2010), which implied additional new build costs that could arise during the MYPD3 period.
In fact, Peters indicated recently that she was poised to make determinations that would to transform the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme into a rolling procurement process in line with the IRP2010. She was also considering new determinations for the procurement of conventional capacity from independent power producers.
However, O'Flaherty said that, in the absence of these determinations or any "direction" on possible future build options, Eskom had had to make a call on what should be included in the application. Eskom also did not agree with the IRP2010's demand growth assumptions, which had been a major feature in guiding the application.
"[For instance], it is already to late to expect a nuclear programme in 2023 – it's too late. It's also too late to expect that there is going to be 500 MW of new coal in 2014, as the IRP2010 indicates, because there have been no decisions."
Besides the transition to cost reflectivity, O'Flaherty also confirmed that the MYPD3 had been premised on single-digit increases in primary energy costs and the institution of a mandatory energy conservation scheme.
