Elizabeth Warren Goes After The TPP
Elizabeth Warren, other Democrats raise concerns about free-trade pact with Asia. The Washington Post: "Warren (D-Mass.), fresh off her break with the White House on the budget last week, said in a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman that the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) could erode U.S. financial safeguards designed to "prevent future financial crises." "We cannot afford a trade deal that undermines the government's ability to protect the American economy," Warren said in the letter, also signed by Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.)."
AFL-CIO Now posts "7 Reasons Fast Track Is Off Track".
Obama Takes The Initiative On Cuba
Amy Goodman on "Obama and the Beginning of the End of the Cuban Embargo." "The 11 million people of Cuba, as well as all of us here, deserve an open connection as neighbors, based on equality, grounded in peace."
With the moves toward Cuba normalization, President Obama "looks like he's been set free." Paul Waldman in the American Prospect: "This was a major theme in conservative and not-so-conservative media for quite some time: Obama is passive, he's bored, he just doesn't care anymore, he's like a senior two weeks from graduation who just can't wait to get it over with … But with today's announcement that we'll be undertaking a normalization of relations with Cuba—a mere 54 years after the embargo began—combined with other recent moves on immigration and climate change, Obama is looking pretty engaged. The approaching end of his term and the loss of both houses of Congress seem to have liberated him."
Careful Fed Statement Causes Ripples
Fed statement on rates "gets a rare hat trick of dissent." Wall Street Journal: "The Federal Reserve's decision Wednesday to tiptoe slowly toward interest-rate increases generated a significant and rare level of insurrection among its membership. … It was the first three-person dissent since Fed meetings held in August and September 2011 Fed meetings … Narayana Kocherlakota of the Minneapolis Fed continues to believe it's a mistake for the Fed to contemplate interest rate increases at a time when inflation is falling so far short of the central bank's official 2% goal."
Bloomberg's Noah Smith calls Narayana Kocherlakota "the Fed's most interesting man." "Kocherlakota has just declared that he will not seek reappointment as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis … When Kocherlakota became president of the Minneapolis Fed in 2009, he looked like a classic hawk … But in 2012, Kocherlakota made one of the greatest reversals in economics history. Switching abruptly from hawk to dove, he began to argue that the Fed needed to keep interest rates at zero for many more years. … With Kocherlakota leaving, the future of the Minneapolis Fed is in doubt. It remains to be seen if the directors will replace him with a classic Minnesota hawk, and whether his replacement will reverse the changes Kocherlakota made at the bank."
Wall Street Fight Doesn't Let Up
Mother Jones: 'Wall Street Salivating Over Further Destruction of Financial Reform' "Conventional pundit wisdom suggests that Wall Street may have overreached last week. … Then again, maybe not … Ed Kilgore points to this article in The Hill today: 'Banks and financial institutions are planning an aggressive push to dismantle parts of the Wall Street reform law when Republicans take control of Congress in January. … Among the top items on the wish list: easing new requirements on mortgages, loosening restrictions on financial derivatives and overhauling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau…' "
Simon Johnson joins the "enough is enough" chorus against Antonio Weiss. "Antonio Weiss has been nominated to become Undersecretary for Domestic Finance at the Treasury Department. A growing number of people and organizations have expressed reservations about this potential appointment, which requires Senate confirmation … In recent days, Mr. Weiss's supporters have sought to rally support through two outside letters that stress Mr. Weiss's supposed qualifications for the job. But both these letters further weaken the case for Mr. Weiss … As argued by his opponents and as confirmed by the public statements of his strongest supporters, Antonio Weiss does not have the right background, qualifications, or – as far as anyone can reasonably determine – views to become Undersecretary for Domestic Finance."
Robert Reich writes that "inside traders are rigging America." "Last week the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which oversees federal prosecutions of Wall Street … overturned [Global Investors' co-founder Anthony] Chiasson's conviction, citing lack of evidence Chaisson received the tip directly, or knew insiders were leaking confidential information in exchange for some personal benefit. … Major players on Wall Street have been making tons of money not because they're particularly clever but because they happen to be in the realm where a lot of coins come their way. … "
Breakfast Sides
New York Times' Neil Irwin shows how a big safety net and strong job market coexists in Scandinavia. "Some of the highest employment rates in the advanced world are in places with the highest taxes and most generous welfare systems, namely Scandinavian countries. The United States and many other nations with relatively low taxes and a smaller social safety net actually have substantially lower rates of employment. … If the goal is to get more people working, what's important about a social welfare plan may be more about what the money is spent on than how much is spent."
Torture – not in Iraq or Guantanamo, but Chicago. From In These Times: "In front of the Chicago Police Headquarters yesterday on the city's South Side, a group of about 100 marchers, flanked by clusters of police officers on the sidewalk, huddled together with signs reading "Two Decades Too Many" and "Reparations Now." … For nearly 20 years, [former Chicago Police Officer Jon] Burge led a "torture ring of white Chicago detectives" and used violent measures to get confessions from their suspects. In 2010, Burge was convicted of perjury for lying about the police torture. … [An ordinance sought by survivors and activists] would provide survivors with free education at City Colleges and build a center to offer vocational training, psychological counseling and health care services."

It may be possible to get your ex back, but is it the best thing? These questions will help you figure out if getting back together is the right thing to do.
If you think that getting back together is the right thing to do, read How To Get Your Ex-Boyfriend Back: The Proven Step-By-Step System to Restore Your Relationship by Natalie Watson. You'll learn things such as how to make him regret breaking up with you, what makes him withdraw and not want to be with you, the real reason why you broke up, and how to rebuild your relationship so it's healthy and strong.
Are you scared to move on, or do you really think you and your ex were meant to be? Before deciding if you should try to get your ex back, you need to take a step back and look objectively at your motivations, personality, and lifestyle. You need to ensure you're trying to get your ex back for the right reasons, not because you're stuck in the past and scared to move on.
The thing you have to ask yourself is this: Do you believe in your relationship enough to do whatever it takes to get back together? Sometimes it's better to just walk away – especially if your ex is unhealthy or abusive. I can't answer these questions for you, but I can give you a few things to think about…
Reasons you should not try to get your ex back:
- You feel lost, insecure, afraid, and lonely without your ex.
- Your ex was emotionally or physically abusive to you, your kids, or others.
- Your ex cheated on you or lied to you.
- You don't trust your ex, but can't explain why.
- Your ex has a toxic ex-wife or ex-husband who causes serious problems in your relationship.
- You want revenge. You feel bitter but you won't let yourself admit it.
- Your ex puts his friends, hobbies, bad habits, or work ahead of you.
- Your ex doesn't listen to you.
- Your ex doesn't want you back, isn't answering your phone calls or emails, and has told you to leave him or her alone.
Many people keep chasing their ex, even when the ex has said, "Leave me alone! I don't want to see or talk to you ever again."
Are you obsessed with trying to get your ex back? Read Do You Think About Your Ex All the Time? 6 Ways to Stop Obsessing.
Reasons you should try getting back together:
- You are 100% certain you broke up for the wrong reasons.
- You feel whole and healthy without your ex.
- Your ex supports your current plans, future goals, and life dreams.
- You had an argument or conflict about a specific issue, and you can see a healthy resolution.
- You have realistic expectations for getting back together, and for your future relationship.
- You and your ex can talk openly and honestly about the reasons you broke up and the possibility of getting back together.
- Your friends and family support your relationship (you shouldn't try to get your ex back just for them, but if they don't think you and your ex is a good match, then you need to listen to their reasons!)
I think the best main reason you should try to get your ex back is if something has changed in your relationship.
Relationship HelpDo you regret the break up? Get Your Ex Back
Want to stop the separation or divorce? Save Your Marriage
Wondering how to make a man fall in love with you? Captivate Him So He'll Never Want to Leave
Give yourself – and your ex – space to heal and breathe. One of the most important things to do when you're detaching from someone you care about is to take a step back — though your instinct might be to move closer! Instead of crowding your ex, find your self-identity. Figure out who you are apart from your love relationship, marriage, kids, and family members. Give yourself (and him) room to breathe by developing your own interests and life. This is difficult when you're emotionally over-involved or even obsessed with the other person, but it's so important.
How to Stop Trying to Get Your Ex Back
If you're ready to stop thinking about whether you should get your ex back – you know it's time to move on – read this excellent comment from a reader on my letting go of someone you love article:
When you love someone deeply, taking that person out of your life is like tearing away a part of yourself. The pain can be very intense, but you can move on. Here's how.
1. Really ACCEPT what has happened.
2. Allow yourself to grieve but NOT in destructive ways i.e, alcohol, drugs or other risky ways. This only makes it worse and will prolong your suffering….I KNOW because I've done this repeatedly only to realize, the only person I am hurting IS MYSELF. Realize your ex is NOT going to feel compassion and rush in to save the day on a white horse – Save yourself.
3. Talk to someone – friends, a counselor. I also read articles about good relationships going bad, and learned that sometimes you can't get your ex back and there's no point trying.
4. Force yourself to get out. This will be hard at first especially if you've built your world around someone else. That's part of the problem, never lose yourself in someone else. Do things with friends, explore your passions, and do activities that define you.
5. Do something new – take a class or an activity you always wanted too. I've learned how to rock climb and kayak. The sense of achievement ROCKED!
6. Take one day at a time – this sounds like hogwash but it's true. Up and down days will certainly come but the saying, "This too shall pass" is true.
Accepting that you lost your relationship and you shouldn't try to get your ex back is a long, difficult process. But remember that you are not alone and everyone has been through it, sometime or the other. Learning to let go, no matter how deeply you loved your ex, is essential if you are to move on with your life. Sometimes it's not healthy to try to get your ex back, no matter how much love you feel.
I welcome your thoughts on whether or not you should try to get your ex back, in the comments section below. I can't answer your questions or give advice, but writing can help you see your relationship and ex more clearly.
"The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places." Ernest Hemingway.
9 Responses to "16 Questions to Ask Before You Try to Get Your Ex Back"
you woudnt call it a relationship as such, this guy wouldnt take me out, said he doesnt take women out, and is so friendly with an ex girlfriend it sicken me. Whatever we had was useless, and I hate myself for having anything to do with him, he was so rude, and would come around to me for a few minutes, anyway yesterday, i sent him a text as I am not well saying "time is precious to me and in order for me to love myself again i am prepared to forgive, I wasnt a bowl of laughs over the last 1.5 years, cos of circumstances, and I hope you have it in your nature to forgive also" I just wanted to finalise things. but true to form he never answered, he was a user. now I realise what a "shit" he really was, and I am glad to be rid of him, but I have to learn to love myself again, regardless and if he cant learn to forgive, so be it.
My boyfriend and I recently quarreling about the TIME. Until I walked out on him, I don't know if I can really let him go, but I am having a hard time to let go of him because i love him. But I wanted too so that he will never suffer anymore on giving his time with me and to face his all problems. I've hurt when he is keep on telling that he can't do the things to fix his problems because he don't have a time to do it because he's always with me. I felt that he's always wasting his time to spent on me instead doing his thing about his problems. I felt that i am the burden of his life. Now, I wanted to break up with him but I am having a hard time to do it and the decision will come from me. I wanted to set him free so he can use and get his own time for himself and to his problem. Please advise. Please help. Thanks.
I recon people these days don't even try as there is always someone else lining up. As soon as they hit a hard patch they break up instead of acting like an adult. Great examples parents set for their children also going from one relationship to another. If we went back to the old fashion ways maybe this wouldn't happen. As the saying goes why buy the cow when they are supplying the milk.
As a man who gave up drugs and beer over a year and a half ago, I find it harder to let go of my ex then to get off drugs.
Saying goodbye to a relationship is sure a hard thing to do. I believe giving up a relationship is as hard as giving up an addiction.

Anyone know a 40+ who got pg naturally?

|Mon, 06-14-2004 - 6:17pm
I was wondering if anyone personally knows of any woman who got pg in her 40's without assistance? Was it her first pg? Was there anything about that particular woman that stood out, like she was particularly active or athletic or a healthy eater?
I know women in the 40's who got pg, but I am not sure if they had assistance. I don't know them well enough to ask.

What prompted you to take clomid at 42 1/2? Had you been trying to conceive a while before taking the clomid?
|Tue, 06-15-2004 - 1:18am
I have gotten pregnant naturally 3 times over 40 but have had miscarriages each time. I think it is because I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome that I am only now finally treating.
There are many examples of women getting pregnant over 40 naturally, so don't give up!

I am 43 and got pregnant naturally the first time we decided to "try." We used an Ovulation Predictor Kit. I was astounded to miss my next period. I am no healthier than average. I am about 15 lbs overweight, and though I have worked out at the gym regularly for most of my adult life, for the past year I have been a slacker and not gone! I have never had any difficulties with any pelvic organs, always had regular and extremely easy periods, and have had no major health problems. Also, my mother, sister, and grandmother all had births around the age of 40.
|Thu, 06-17-2004 - 9:23am
My aunt had my cousin when she was 48 years old he is perfectly healthy. My grandmother was 41 when she had my dad. Of course back then there was no scientific help. They had several other children previously. My cousin got Pg with her 1st naturally @ 39. I have read books of women who had there first over 40 & did it naturally. You should read The Infertility Cure. It is very helpful.
Hope you are doing well. Anything I can do to help just give me a post!

We introduce a more general class of OWFs called ``weakly-regular one-way functions'', and construct a PRG with seed length $O(n*\log{n})$. More specifically, consider an arbitrary one-way function $f$ with range divided into sets $\Y_1$, $\Y_2$, $\ldots$, $\Y_n$ where each $\Y_i=\{y:2^{i-1}\le|f^{-1}(y)|<2^{i}\}$. We say that $f$ is weakly-regular if there is a cutoff point $max$ such that $\Y_{max}$ has some noticeable portion (say $n^{-c}$ for constant $c$), and $\Y_{max+1}$, $\ldots$, $\Y_n$ only sum to a negligible fraction $\epsilon$. We construct a PRG by making $O(n^{2c+1})$ calls to $f$ and achieve seed length $O(n*\log{n})$ using bounded space generators, where the only parameter required to know is $c$ (which is constant for a specific $f$ but may vary for different OWFs) and no knowledge is required for $max$ and $\epsilon$. This generalizes the approach of Haitner et al., where arbitrary regular OWFs fall into a special case for $c=0$. We use a proof technique that is similar to and extended from the method by Haitner, Harnik and Reingold for hardness amplification of regular weakly-one-way functions.
Our work further explores the feasibility and limits of the ``randomized iterate'' type of black-box constructions. In particular, the underlying $f$ can have an arbitrary structure as long as the set of images with maximal preimage size has a noticeable fraction. In addition, our construction is much more seed-length efficient and security-preserving (but less general) than the HILL-style generators where the best known construction by Vadhan and Zheng (STOC 2012) requires seed length $\tilde{O}(n^3)$.Category / Keywords: foundations / Foundations, Pseudorandom Generators, One-way Functions, the Randomized Iterate.

HoopsHype Shavlik Randolph rumors
Shavlik Randolph will sign with the Boston Celtics for the rest of the season with a team option on his contract for next season, a league source told RealGM. With Randolph's second 10-day contract expiring on Wednesday night, the Celtics decided to keep the 6-foot-10 forward to maintain their frontcourt depth and continuity in the locker room. RealGM
Shams Charania: Shavlik Randolph's contract with the Celtics is for this season as well as a team option for next season, a league source tells RealGM. Twitter @ShamsCharania
Will it be enough to secure a commitment from the Celtics? Randolph has no idea. Neither does forward D.J. White, who also is playing on a second 10-day contract. Randolph got the longer look Saturday night. "He was great. I thought he just came in and made things happen," Rivers said. "He rebounded the heck out of the ball, both ends, offense and defense. Threw his body around. So, it was good. He made a couple of great passes and some instinctive cuts to the basket, so I was really happy with him. I just thought Shav played better [than White]. I thought D.J. came in and played OK, and then Shav came in and played great, so I played Shav." Rivers acknowledges he offers few hints to those on these contracts about their progress. There is no special attention or personal conferences. "I don't say much. I think the more I say the more it probably brings attention," Rivers said. "I try to stay away from them and tell them what I need team-wise. I just try to observe. I like them both. I think they're both great guys in your locker room, good teammates." Boston Globe

D.J. White and Shavlik Randolph were on the team flight here Saturday, a strong indication that the Celtics will re-sign them to 10-day contracts. White's initial 10-day contract was set to expire at midnight Saturday and Randolph's is set to expire at midnight Sunday. Boston Globe
The Boston Celtics signed Shavlik Randolph to a 10-day contract because they needed another big man in their front court. If they ever need an entertainer, they now have one of those as well. "I love playing the piano," Randolph enthusiastically told CSNNE.com. "I love playing the piano and I do a mean Michael Jackson impression dancing." CSNNE.com
The Celtics have plucked their third player from the Chinese Basketball Association, agreeing to a 10-day contract with former Duke center Shavlik Randolph, who is eligible to play immediately. Randolph has already received his clearance from Foshan Long Lions before he signed with the Celtics, giving the club a much-needed big man. Randolph has not played in the NBA since 2009-10 and has played just 95 games since declaring for the 2005 draft following his junior season at Duke. Boston Globe

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

U.S. National Security Adviser Gen (retd.) Jim Jones and Director,
Central Intelligence, Leon Panetta Wednesday met with Pakistan*s top
civil and military leadership in Islamabad/Rawalpindi? and reportedly
pressed it to take more aggressive action against jihadists, especially
in North Waziristan * the main hub of an array of international jihadist
actors, which the Pakistanis have thus far refrained from targeting in
their year-long counter-insurgency campaign. The visit has been prompted
by the revelations about the deep connections the would-be Times Square
bomber, Faisal Shahzad, had with the murky jihadist landscape based in
Pakistan as well as the country*s military establishment. Shahzad*s
father is a retired Air Vice Marshal * the 3rd highest rank in the
Pakistani air force while his uncle is a retired 2-star who once headed
the Frontier Corps * NWFP, the paramilitary force currently playing a
key role in the counter-insurgency campaign against Taliban rebels in
the country*s north-west.
Given the level of religious radicalization that the country has
experienced over the past three decades or so, it is not unusual even
for a person with Shahzad*s pedigree to have joined al-Qaeda-like?
transnational jihadists. Furthermore, being from an elitist military
family also doesn*t mean that currently serving Pakistani military
officials have ties to the global jihadist nexus involved in plots to
stage attacks in the United States this sentence is unclear, needs to be
rephrased. Suggest something like Shahzad's elitist family background
doesn't necessarily implicate serving Pakistani military officials in
jihadist plots against the United States, but May 18 reports that
Pakistani authorities had arrested a serving army major with suspected
links to Shahzad are raising suspicions again over how deeply penetrated
the Pakistani security apparatus is by jihadists and jihadist
also doesn*t mean that currently serving Pakistani military officials
have ties to the global jihadist nexus involved in plots to stage
attacks in the United StateHowever, yesterday there were reports that
Pakistani authorities had arrested a serving army major suspected of
being an accomplice of Shahzad, which further exacerbates an already
complicated U.S.-Pakistani relationship.
Cooperation between Washington and Islamabad on dealing with the
jihadist menace had just begun to improve when the Times Square bomb
incident took place. It had hardly been three months since CENTCOM chief
Gen. David Petraeus had applauded Pakistani efforts against the militant
infrastructure in the country saying that Islamabad*s forces were doing
the best they can with limited resources and should not be expected to
expand the scope of their operations anytime soon. The process of a
paradigm shift in Washington vis-`a-vis Islamabad paradigm shift is
pretty strong - they were getting along for a while - wouldn't
exaggerate it came to a screeching halt when it became increasingly
clear that Shahzad had been dispatched by jihadist elements based in
The problem with what? is not that the U.S. has completely reverted back
to the old policy of pressuring Pakistan. unclear Rather it what? has to
do with the U.S. dilemma where on one hand the Obama administration
needs to stabilize Pakistan so that the country can effectively assist
it in its effort to deal with the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan
while on the other it also needs to pressure Pakistan to take tougher
action against al-Qaeda and Taliban which potentially further
destabilizes the already dangerously weakened Pakistani polity. In other
words, the U.S. strategy for the region has been knocked off balance.
need to rephrase this graf to get your point across more clearly
This precarious situation by no means should be considered as an
unintended outcome of the plot to detonate an IED in the heart of
Manhattan. It is very much by design on the part of the transnational
jihadists headquartered in Pakistan for whom growing U.S.-Pakistani
cooperation can be a lethal cocktail.?The jihadists have been able to
exploit the weakness of the Pakistani state and the contradictions
within its security establishment to their advantage. how? You have
most of the content, but this needs needs to be written more directly:
a) Panetta and Jones are in Pak putting pressure on Pak following the
revelations over Shahzad b) this is bringing an end ot the brief
honeymoon Pak and US enjoyed at the end of last year when the US grew
more satisfied with Pak's efforts to crack dwon on jihadists within its
own borders c) this falls neatly into the jihadist two-pronged strategy
to throw monkey wrenches into the US-Pak relationship and the Indo-Pak
relationship. For the former, all the jihadists have to do is claim a
pathetic bombing in NYC. That the plot failed doesn't matter as much as
the fact that it got US officials hustling over to Islamabad to apply
greater pressure on Pakistan and cause strain in that relationship. The
second part of the strategy just takes the sponsoring of a militant
attack in India, who can rapidly refocus Pak's attention to its Eastern
border. With Indo-Pak peace talks coming up, the jihadists ahve another
potential opportunity to do jsut that
But in the past one year they have faced a major onslaught and find
themselves caught between U.S. UAV strikes and Pakistani ground
assaults. They are in no position to resist the combined U.S.-Pakistani
offensive. The only way out for them is to undermine the bilateral
relationship, which given its fragility and the tools at the disposal of
the jihadists is not hard to do.
This strategy is very similar to their efforts to ignite conflict
between India and Pakistan by staging attacks in India to try and force
New Delhi into taking unilateral action against militant facilities on
Pakistani soil, which would lead to all out war between the two South
Asian rivals, thereby giving them even more room to manoeuvre. In the
U.S.-Pakistani case, it doesn*t have to be a successful attack as was
the case with the Times Square plot. All what was required is an attempt
through an individual whose connections to Pakistan and its security
establishment could be easily traced, which would undermine ties between
the two. Ideally the goal is to create a situation where the United
States is forced to get more aggressive in terms of unilateral action on
Pakistani soil, creating further chaos in the country, which is the
environment in which the jihadists thrive.
It should be noted that the whole idea of the al-Qaeda-allied Pakistani
Taliban claiming responsibility for the failed NY Times attack makes no
sense. Why would the jihadists expend resources on an individual who
didn*t have the skill-set to pull off a real bombing. It only makes the
organization appear weak * unless of course the intent was not to stage
an actual attack and instead the aim was to undermine U.S. strategy for
the region by creating problems between Islamabad and Washington.
Lest our readers think that there isn*t anything going on in the world
beyond Pakistan, the financial crisis in Europe hasn*t gone anywhere *
in fact, it continues to build. Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel flat
out stated before parliament that Europe is facing an *existential test*
from the Greek-triggered crisis, noting that *if the euro fails, then
Europe fails." ." Specifically the chancellor is laying the groundwork
for a Friday vote on approving Germany*s 123 billion euro contribution
to a eurozone bailout fund.
Stratfor could not agree more with the chancellor. While it wasn*t
designed that way, <the euro has become the
The euro was intended to inject German economic dynamism into the rest
of Europe, providing the capital and markets that would raise all boats.
Instead the common currency allowed poorer Southern Europe to delay
The <question of
today http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20100208_germanys_choice> is
between German subsidization of the South or a series of rolling
collapses should Berlin refuse. Unintended or not -- and economically
beneficial or not -- the link between Germany*s checkbook and *the
preservation of the European idea* is undisputed. If Germany is to seek
global stature it will have to make this scale of donation to the
European South over and over again. And should it deign to participate,
the <great unraveling of
will begin with a vengeance.
As such it is not so much that we*re attracted to the drama in Berlin *
although it is worth noting that there hasn*t been drama in Berlin since
the 1940s * but instead that the Germans are enacting policies that have
a hint of desperation to them. Today the Germans instituted a ban on
naked short selling, market parlance for making a bet at the track that
a certain horse will lose, and lose badly. Normally such trades at most
affect the margins of the market, and governments only get nervous about
them when the ship seems about to go down. For comparison, the United
States instituted a similar policy in July 2008, just before the
American markets degraded from wobbly to free fall.

Whether your drinking glasses are Waterford
crystal from Ireland or the weekly special from Wal-Mart, you'll
want to be reimbursed if they break during the moving process. There
are a variety of coverage options to consider when you've decided
to relocate.
First and foremost, check your homeowner's
policy to see what, if any, coverage it offers.
Mike Chrysler of the Indianapolis-based Insurance
Institute of Indiana says most homeowners' policies will offer
some coverage during a move, but only for the "main perils" they
would cover while the merchandise was in your home -- such as fire
or theft.
"Your homeowners policy does not cover the shifting
and breaking of any articles while in transit," says Chrysler.
Homeowner's policy often not
In addition, your current policy may stipulate that coverage is
reduced during a move, says Sue Nudd of Mason-McBride Insurance
Company in Troy, Mich.
"You can't make a general statement that if you have
$100,000 coverage now you'll automatically have the same coverage
in your move," Nudd says. Some policies might limit coverage to
10 percent of the current policy.
Another thing to consider, according to Nudd, is that
some policies limit personal property coverage to 50 percent or
75 percent of the homeowners policy -- and that might not be enough.
"Over the years, you've accumulated more in the way
of clothes, furniture, etc.," Nudd says. "You might not realize
how much personal property you have until an inventory is taken."
Nudd suggests adding endorsements, riders or enhancements
to your current policy or consider insurance coverage offered by
the mover.
Movers must assume some liability
All interstate movers are required to assume liability for personal
property at a rate of $0.60 per pound at no cost to the customer.
It's usually called "released value" coverage. Most customers would
probably find it inadequate, to say the least. If the mover bounces
your 45-pound television down the concrete steps in front of your
house, you'll be reimbursed only $27.
But, believe it or not, there are times when $0.60
a pound coverage is OK, says MaryScott Tuck of the American
Moving and Storage Association in Alexandria, Va.
"If you have a homeowners policy that covers the
moving of furniture or if you're a college student -- we all know
what our furniture looked like right when we came out of college,"
she says. "If it's not catastrophic to replace, this might be one
way to do it."
Coverage levels vary
But peace of mind for most of us will cost more than $0.60 a pound.
Here, according to the association, are some other coverage levels
most moving companies will offer. Coverage amounts are subject to
change and may vary according to state regulations, so check with
your mover for the latest information.
Most go for full value
If you're wondering what the most popular coverage is, according
to 1999 figures compiled by the American Moving and Storage Association,
most people opt for full value coverage without a deductible.
Understand that movers don't issue insurance polices,
they offer "valuation coverage." Tuck says it's similar to an insurance
policy but no physical policy is written. "It's a valuation option
or a liability option as opposed to true insurance issuance. You
don't get a policy, you get a bill of lading -- which is a contract
between mover and customer."
What if you packed the boxes yourself? According to
Tuck, if the mover accepts them they're covered at whatever value
you picked. Some movers may want to open boxes that contain fragile
items to make sure they're properly packed.
If a box is marked "crystal" and the mover hears clink,
clink, clink, he may go "Uh, oh," open it up and repack it. And
that's going to cost you more money.
If the moving company packed your boxes, Tuck says
you may not be covered if items are damaged after the packers leave
and before the movers arrive. In other words, "If the packers came
and went and Junior knocked over a box and things broke."
Take problems up with local
Speaking of things breaking: What do you do if you arrive at your
new home and something in a box goes clink, clink, clink?
The association's Tuck says many moving companies
now allow the drivers to settle broken items up to $250 in value.
For items over that amount or missing items, customers need to check
the bill of lading for the "destination company." More than likely
that's the local agent for your moving company.
"Most claims aren't recognized unless they're in writing.
Normally, the customer has nine months from date of delivery to
complete the forms and return them," says Tuck.
If the problem resulted from packing damage, don't
destroy the box.
Tuck says the moving company will send an inspector
who will usually recommend repairing or replacing the item, or offering
a cash settlement.
"If the customer doesn't like the offer, they can
go back to the company and say, 'Listen, this is a starting point
but not where we want to end up,' " says Tuck.
At that point the dispute would go to the company's
headquarters, which would send it to arbitration if the disputed
amount is less than $5,000. The association acts as a conduit between
the customer and the moving company and sends the dispute to the
Arbitration Forum. If the amount in question is more than $5,000,
it could still go to arbitration if both sides agree -- or the customer
may want to take it to court.

"I used this card for a Thank-you card for my husband's golf theme 60th birthday party. I used a picture of him showing up for the surprise party after completing a golf game. I put 60 on the flag and included his name on the side and wrote a thank-you note across the bottom instead of using it as an invite. The product is once again of high quality and so I was thrilled to send them out. Quite a few of our friends and relatives have commented on the great thank-you card they had received and a few have asked where I got them from, which again I share Tiny Prints information."
"These invitations surpassed my expectations. Customization was easy. I made them into picnic invitations. The ink is consistent and the design is printed well. The card stock is nice and heavy. I am placing another order today for a different party!"
"The design couldn't be more perfect for my son's birthday party at a Tae Kwon Do studio. The colors are striking and I love the ability to use a large photo. It's a beautiful invitation and I could not wait to send them out to the party guests."

Using the AD7764 eases the front-end antialias filtering requirements, simplifying the design process significantly. The AD7764 offers pin-selectable decimation rates of 64×, 128×, and 256×. Other features include an integrated buffer to drive the reference, as well as a fully differential amplifier to buffer and level shift the input to the modulator.
An overrange alert pin indicates when an input signal has exceeded the acceptable range. The addition of internal gain and internal overrange registers makes the AD7764 a compact, highly integrated data acquisition device requiring minimal peripheral components.
The AD7764 also offers a low power mode, significantly reducing power dissipation without reducing the output data rate or available input bandwidth.
The differential input is sampled at up to 40 MSPS by an analog modulator. The modulator output is processed by a series of low-pass filters. The external clock frequency applied to the AD7764 determines the sample rate, filter corner frequencies, and output word rate.
The AD7764 device boasts a full band on-board FIR filter. The full stop-band attenuation of the filter is achieved at the Nyquist frequency. This feature offers increased protection from signals that lie above the Nyquist frequency being aliased back into the input signal bandwidth.
The reference voltage supplied to the AD7764 determines the input range. With a 4 V reference, the analog input range is ±3.2768 V differential, biased around a common mode of 2.048 V. This common-mode biasing can be achieved using the on-chip differential amplifier, further reducing the external signal conditioning requirements.
The AD7764 is available in a 28-lead TSSOP package and is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.
