BJP asks govt to utilize its 'Italian link' for chopper scam probe
The BJP today mocked the Congress led UPA government, advising it to use its 'Italian connection' in the dollar750 million Italian Finmeccanica helicopter deal after an Italian court probing the deal refused to share crucial documents that might reveal valuable information, ahead of dispatch of a team of investigation officials. Meanwhile spokesperson of India's ruling Congress party, Rashid Alvi defended the federal government saying that it was taking up the matter with utmost seriousness. In the meantime, the BJP also assailed the government over the reports of a Delhi Police constable arrested for reportedly trying to access senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley's call details, and demanded an answer from the Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde as to who ordered this unauthorised surveillance.

Japan, Wary of North Korea, Works to Secure Infrastructure After Sony Attack
Officials said, Japan, fearing it could be a soft target for possible North Korean cyberattacks in the escalating row over the Sony Pictures hack, has begun working to ensure basic infrastructure is safe and to formulate its diplomatic response. The hacking of the U.S. unit of Tokyo-based Sony Corp has been seen in Japan largely as an American problem, but the officials said the government is now moving actively to confront the issue after President Barack Obama blamed North Korea and vowed to respond "in a place and time and manner that we choose."

As U.S. Troops Return to Iraq, More Private Contractors Follow
A senior U.S. official said, the U.S. government is preparing to boost the number of private contractors in Iraq as part of President Barack Obama's growing effort to beat back Islamic State militants threatening the Baghdad government. The official said, how many contractors will deploy to Iraq - beyond the roughly 1,800 now working there for the U.S. State Department - will depend in part on how widely dispersed U.S. troops advising Iraqi security forces are, and how far they are from U.S. diplomatic facilities.

Derby have rejected another bid for highly-rated defender Jason Shackell.
Burnley have been heavily linked with Shackell, who had an impressive first season for the Rams in the Championship after joining from Barnsley last summer, captaining the team in the absence of injured Shaun Barker.
Derby chief executive Tom Glick told the Derby Telegraph: "We've knocked back another bid for Jason Shackell.
"We felt it was nowhere near where it would need to be for us to give it serious consideration.
"We're not surprised about this as he had a great season for us and is a key player for us, in a key position.
"If a club was to come back with an increased valuation, we would take a look at it on its merit.
"Then, if we felt it did meet out valuation of the player, we would only sell if we had a suitable replacement lined up."

This paper empirically examines the separation principle, which asserts that investment decisions are not influenced by dividend decisions. Existing empirical evidence on this proposition is inconclusive. In this paper, we employ causality tests to examine whether investment decisions are, in fact, statistically exogenous with respect to dividend decisions. These tests are undertaken using both firm-specific and aggregate data. The results indicate no causal relationship from dividends to investment, which provides support for the separation principle as an empirical proposition.

DEFINITION of 'Risk-Based Capital Requirement'
A rule that establishes minimum required liquid reserves for financial institutions. Risk-based capital requirements exist to protect the firms, their investors and customers and the economy as a whole. Placement of risk-based capital requirements ensure that each financial institution has enough capital to sustain operating losses while maintaining a safe and efficient market. In June 2011, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC adopted a rule that enforces a permanent floor for risk-based capital requirements. The rule also provides some flexibility in risk calculation for certain low-risk assets.
Also known as regulatory capital.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Risk-Based Capital Requirement'
The Collins Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (commonly referred to as "Dodd-Frank") imposes minimum risk-based capital requirements for insured depository institutions, depository institution holding firms and nonbank financial companies that are supervised by the Federal Reserve. Under the rules, each bank is required to have a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% and a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4%.
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which operates through the Bank for International Settlements, publishes the Basel Accords – the structure by which banks and depository institutions calculate capital. Basel I was introduced in 1988, followed by Basel II in 2004. Basel III was developed in response to deficits in financial regulation that appeared in the late 2000s financial crisis.

Following is a transcript of a letter from Thomas Jefferson on the occasion of the fiftieth birthday of our nation. The letter was written only ten days before his death on July 4, 1826.
Thomas Jefferson
to Roger Weightman
Monticello June 24. 26
Respected Sir
The kind invitation I receive from you on the part of the citizens of the city of Washington, to be present with them at their celebration of the 50th. anniversary of American independence; as one of the surviving signers of an instrument pregnant with our own, and the fate of the world, is most flattering to myself, and heightened by the honorable accompaniment proposed for the comfort of such a journey. It adds sensibly to the sufferings of sickness, to be deprived by it of a personal participation in the rejoicings of that day. But acquiescence is a duty, under circumstances not placed among those we are permitted to control.
I should, indeed, with peculiar delight, have met and exchanged there congratulations personally with the small band, the remnant of that host of worthies, who joined with us on that day, in the bold and doubtful election we were to make for our country, between submission or the sword; and to have enjoyed with them the consolatory fact, that our fellow citizens, after half a century of experience and prosperity, continue to approve the choice we made.
May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the Signal of arousing men to burst the chains, under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings & security of self-government. That form which we have substituted, restores the free right to the unbounded exercise of reason and freedom of opinion. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. These are grounds of hope for others. For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.
I will ask permission here to express the pleasure with which I should have met my ancient neighbors of the City of Washington and of it's vicinities, with whom I passed so many years of a pleasing social intercourse; an intercourse which so much relieved the anxieties of the public cares, and left impressions so deeply engraved in my affections, as never to be forgotten. With my regret that ill health forbids me the gratification of an acceptance, be pleased to receive for yourself, and those for whom you write, the assurance of my highest respect and friendly attachments.
Th. Jefferson

The kid I sit next to in school always is talking, but he NEVER gets in trouble for it. I don't talk that much in school, but when I do, I get this big lecture on how I talk way too much in class. When I try to convince the teacher that it really is the other boy and I don't talk that much, she doesn't believe me. What do I do?
Ugh, that is so annoying. I have totally been in that place before and it can be SO frustrating! The good news is that there is definitely a way to show your teacher that you're a good student who wants to learn and concentrate in class.
Even though he's not getting in trouble for it, it sounds like your deskmate may be a bad influence when it comes to you chatting more than usual in class. Next time he speaks to you while the teacher is talking, put your fingers over your lips to make the "quiet" signal. If he asks what's up, tell him after class that you're worried about getting lectured again. He'll understand once you explain your reasons.
While it's not fair that the real chatty Charlie isn't being lectured, it's not UNfair that you're being called out by the teacher for your chit chat, either. So how do you avoid another lecture? Make it a goal to not talk in class for an entire day. If you can do it (and I know you can!) try to do it again the next day, and then the next day after that. I'm sure Teach will notice, and you'll be on your way to fixing this prob.
It's so much easier to do well in school when you can focus—and that makes it more fun, too, because you're getting good grades and feeling confident! Sometimes it's hard to stay silent and pay attention (especially on days when you're not feeling well, or because there's a new cutie in class!). Focusing during school hours will help you complete your homework faster, too—which makes more time for fun after that last bell rings! So stay quiet and listen up. It'll pay off...promise!

Despite Kimye Wedding Hysteria, "The Republic Still Stands," Reports N.Y. Post
If you're over—or perhaps, were never that into—the past weekend's "Wedding of the Century" tabloid-hysteria induced by the wedding of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, you will be relieved to know, the New York Post reports, everything's going to be OK, "the republic still stands."

I don't have much to say about Antwerp. It wasn't my favourite place I've been so far. Maybe it's because I started out being in Belgium by sleeping in train stations and on trains. Not the most ideal night in the world. So because of this, I got to Antwerp at about 7 am. While I waited for my hostel to open, I had the best chocolate croissant I think I've ever had.

ON Semiconductor announces layoffs, restructuring
- Patrick O'Grady
(Page 2 of 2)
The payroll cutbacks will be comprise either three weeks of unpaid time off for senior executives at one level and two weeks of unpaid time off for other workers or a four-day work week. The actions will occur in the first and second quarters. Employees also will receive no pay increases or bonuses in 2009.
The company expects the changes to save about $40 million to $50 million a quarter, about 25 percent of which would come from the temporary measures. The overall cost of the restructuring is expected to be between $20 million to $30 million.

'So many people are so devastated'
As Picher residents searched Monday for their lost belongings in the rubble left by Saturday's tornado, they faced a unique barrier to recovery: They can't go back.
The future: With a federal buyout in progress, many storm victims don't know what the future holds, but they know it won't be in Picher. They say rebuilding would be foolish. "So many people are so devastated," said the mayor, a victim himself. Picking up the pieces: Some Picher residents returned to their homes Monday, searching through the rubble for pictures and answers. The victims: Names provided by the state medical examiner's office. •Samuel Don Berry, 20, Picher. •Tracie Dawn Berry, 19, Picher. •Darrell Edward Patterson II, 28, Wagoner. •Chizuri Cox, 80, Picher. •Mistie Dawn Kelley, 30, Picher. •Linda Christine Mathis, 48, Picher. •The name of a seventh confirmed fatality was not released.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Police warn public about gold-selling scam targeting Good Samaritans
Winnipeg Police are warning local residents about a con scheme that has hit the city.
Police said individuals are approaching strangers in public places, offering to sell them gold objects in exchange for cash.
However, the gold is fake.
Police said in a recent incident, a local resident was approached by a man in the 3600-block of Portage who told him a sad story about needing money, clothing and fuel to get his young family back home to the Toronto area.
Police said the Good Samaritan believed the story and invited the man and his family back to his home, where he provided them with clothing. The Good Samaritan also agreed to buy the "destitute" family's gold jewelry in exchange for a large amount of cash.
Turns out, the gold was fake.
The male suspect is describe as 30 to 35 years of age with a dark complexion, about 5'4" tall, 170-180 pounds, with a light brown goatee. At the time, he was wearing a baseball hat, brown jacket and light-coloured jeans.
The suspect vehicle is described as a newer model, white Toyota crew cab truck that possibly had Alberta plates.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 204-986-6231.

Nine Reasons Why Chris Christie Is Done
Byon February 28, 2014
In case you missed it, Scott Raab, an Esquire writer at large and New Jersey resident who has covered the Port Authority for years, has been chronicling the ongoing Chris Christie saga for the Politics blog over the last few weeks. Below are some of Raab's reasons that Christie is a dead man walking.
1. "Chris Christie's ongoing support for David Samson, chairman of the Port Authority Board of Commissioners, is a death grip for both of them."
2. "Watching Christie snarling at schoolteachers to score style points as a straight shooter, I also saw a bully -- a predator unable to contain his loathing and anger."
3. "Thanks to Chris Christie -- and to Andrew Cuomo, who has silently allowed Christie to swallow the Port Authority whole -- the safety of the World Trade Center rests in the hands of the same loyal troop willing to wage secret war on New Jersey commuters for the sake of their patron king."
4. "It's all here: possible subornation of perjury by a Port lawyer who was both a failed Christie state Supreme Court nominee and a former colleague from the U.S. Attorney's office when Christie ran that show; multiple connections between the Board of Commissioners and PA 'land deals'; the misallocation of PA funds as payoffs or punishment by the governor."
5. "Chris Christie is hardly the first governor to use the Port Authority for funds. But no other governor in history has been quite so greedy."
6. "You're not hearing from Rudy, Mitt, or anyone else any version of 'I know Governor Christie, and the Chris Christie I know would not knowingly have been part of such a thing.'"
7. "After losing an endorsement from New Jersey's biggest newspaper, Chris Christie has been sashaying from town to town like some corrupted beauty queen."
8. "For Christie to survive his second term as Governor, many people -- all with careers, families, and dreams of their own -- would have to fall on their own swords. Such people may, in theory, exist. None of 'em worked for Chris Christie."
9. "Follow the money."

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, learning how to handle the game's fastest, most reckless automobiles along the way. The "Super Sports" DLC pack, due out on December 21 on Xbox 360, and December 22 on PSN, will to add 13 new events and three cars to the game: The Porsche 911 GT2 RS, the GUMPERT Apollo S and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. We bet they're as difficult to drive as they are to pronounce.
The pack will run you $6.99 USD (560 Microsoft Points), which might seem like a bit much for three new cars and 13 new races. Still, think of the joy you'll get when driving the Bugatti Veyron while playing on the law enforcement team, effectively turning yourself into the world's fanciest cop.
