The tragedy of life is not that man Loses but that he almost Wins
Heywood Broun
It is an enduring trap for all those who labor in important, high-profile jobs to have their words recorded and thoughts chronicled. The fate of Richard Nixon, as you may recall, was sealed by the sound of his voice on the infamous White House tapes. But in most instances, political and business leaders are not hung by their own words as much as their reputations retroactively are wounded by them. Through their utterances they can later be seen in dramatically different light. Such is the case with G. Kennedy Thompson, the small-town son of a North Carolina mill manager who ascended to the top ranks of Americas financial industry and thus the worlds top ranks, considering that all currencies lead to Wall Street only to fall to earth with the spectacular collapse of his bank.
One year ago, Wachovia Corp. stood as the nations fourth-largest bank holding company, poised to grow even larger after an ambitious expansion into California with its purchase of Golden West Financial Corp., a mom-and-pop thrift grown big and prosperous. As 2008 closed, Wachovia existed essentially as a ward of the state, propped up by regulators in the interregnum between life as a sovereign entity and absorption into Wells Fargo & Co. the bank that would become, when the takeover of its crippled rival was completed, the national powerhouse that Thompson once envisioned himself overseeing. To read his words now, knowing what we do about the fate of his company, is to be captivated by the classical themes and flaws found within them, making Thompsons utterances redolent of Greek literature or Shakespearean tragedy. Irony, blindness, hubris and whiffs of conspiracy abound. Let us consider them, in order.
Q: What is your all-time favorite book? A: The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Visions of Glory by William Manchester. Q: Is there a particular genre that appeals to you? A: I read a wide range of books and publications, but I especially enjoy biographies and historical novels. I love lessons learned from historical figures.
Who can ponder those answers and not be astonished by the irony within them? Only those people who dont know, or have forgotten, Wachovias history and by that we actually mean the history of First Union Corp., the bank that swallowed Wachovia but then took on its name. In the 1990s, First Union and its hometown competitor, NationsBank (formerly NCNB and latterly Bank of America), launched a frenzied race for local bragging rights to bigness. Hugh McColl headed NationsBank, while Ed Crutchfield headed First Union gunslingers both. It was high noon at Trade and Tryon, the fabled intersection in downtown Charlotte that had become the epicenter of Wall Street South. In the end, McColl won, mostly because his high-dollar acquisitions proved less troublesome than Crutchfields. When First Union acquired Philadelphia-based CoreStates Financial Corp. in 1998 for nearly $20 billion then the largest bank merger in U.S. history, proving Crutchfield wasnt kidding when he said his key to negotiation was to keep stacking billion-dollar bills on the table the banks troubles began in earnest. It was too much money, too many operations to integrate properly, too much of a drain on First Unions resources and eventually too big a drag on the companys stock price.
Crutchfield stepped down as CEO in 2000, citing health problems, and Thompson ascended to the corner office. From that perch, the lover of history and learner of lessons eventually would stack the billion-dollar bills even higher on the table than did his predecessor, with an even more dramatically unhappy result. Instead of history, perhaps Thompson should have focused on philosophy, most pointedly that of George Santayana, who famously observed, Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Q: Some people might say, Look, they acquired Golden West at the peak of the mortgage market. In retrospect, maybe it wasnt the right time for that deal. And now theyre acquiring A.G. Edwards at what could be . A: Yeah. Q: the peak of the securities market. A: Yeah, thats the criticism. My answer to that would be the mortgage market in the United States is going to be strong for as far out as I can see. Our population today is 300 million people. Thirty years from now, the populations going to be 400 million people. That makes me feel good about the mortgage market. Also, Golden West is a pristine lender. Our nonperforming assets at Golden West are less than 80 basis points. Its timing. Weve got a great company there.
All hindsight is 20/20, of course, so its easy these days to see that the mortgage market already was a disaster in the making when Thompson uttered those memorable words. But where everyone else has clear hindsight, CEOs are paid princely sums to have clear foresight. Housing is a commodity. Mortgages, when bundled together and sold as collateralized debt obligations, are a security. As even the most obtuse investor knows, markets for both are subject to expansion and contraction. Thompson need not have looked back any further than 1990-91, when the previous housing bubble popped and eviscerated the savings-and-loan industry, to be reminded of this. (Theres that lessons-learned-from-history thing again.) Even so, Thompson didnt have to look backward to understand that he had steered Wachovia into treacherous water. He and other financial leaders should have been tipped off to an inevitable reversal in the housing market by the behavior of ordinary people, who treated their homes as investment tools rather than places to live. When everyone piles into a market with the same get-rich fervor an Amway distributor brings to cleaning products, the smart financier wonders whos buying if everybodys selling.
Still, many smart, capable executives missed those signals or ignored them because no one ever wants to get off a gravy train while its still rolling. But few of them had made a $24 billion bet on the housing market, as had Thompson. And it was a bet made against the advice of analysts (one of whom pleaded, Say it isnt so) and to the dismay of investors, whose selling of Wachovia stock caused a sharp dip when the purchase of Golden West was announced. The banks share price never recovered and, over the next two years, only spiraled downward.
We both have what each other needs, Wachovia CEO Ken Thompson said in an interview. Golden Wests major product is adjustable-rate mortgages. They need all kinds of [checking accounts], mutual funds, investments and those kinds of things, Thompson said. We are fully armed with those products. This deal is not predicated on cutting costs. Its predicated on significant revenue growth. We think by 2009 we can be producing $230 million [more] in pretax profit just from revenue synergies.
Any student of history knows that decisive engagements when a leaders reputation is made or destroyed get boiled down to a shorthand reference. Waterloo. D-Day. Little Big Horn. When the history of (or obituary for) Wachovia is written, that reference will surely be Golden West. In 1963, when a husband-and-wife team bought it for $3.8 million, Golden West was a two-branch savings and loan association based in Oakland. Under the couples stewardship, it grew, survived the S&L meltdown of the late 80s and early 90s and by 2006, when Wachovia came courting, had 285 branches and a portfolio full of an innovative adjustable-rate mortgage instrument dubbed Pick-a-Pay. But virtually at the moment when Golden Wests owners and Wachovia executives shook hands to conclude the biggest deal of Thompsons tenure, the California housing market started to slump. Wachovia got the ready-made footprint in the West that it wanted. It also got what proved to be a toxic mess of loans.
Lets pause here for an important bit of context: Since 2001, Wachovia had been a bank with two distinct cultures residing within it. One was the careful, conservative, slightly plodding style that had made the original Wachovia a solid if unexciting presence in the banking world. The other was the deal-making, gambling culture that had ruled at First Union and became the dominant style when the two banks combined under Wachovias name. (In baseball terms, it might be said that one bunch was happy to work the count in hopes of a walk, while the other bunch was prone to swing for the fences.) Thompson had come up through the fence-swinging First Union culture and seems to have ascended to the CEOs office with two things to prove to the world. One was that he could make a big acquisition work something his predecessor Crutchfield had found difficult to do with CoreStates. The second was that investors whose chronic doubts about Wachovias profitability had kept the stock price mired in a range lower than Thompson felt it deserved were wrong about his bank and its performance. Ken got seduced by short-term profits, says Tony Plath, associate professor of finance at UNC Charlotte. He felt like they were undervalued by the market and set out to prove it. The Golden West deal which Thompson described as a grand slam home run for us would be the fertile field from which profits and respect would flower.
Plath doesnt believe the purchase of Golden West was, in and of itself, a mistake. They overpaid, but Ken could have been a hero for establishing the beachhead. The problem was that Wachovia didnt immediately move to securitize the adjustable-rate mortgages and sell them to investors. The bank kept that junk on the balance sheet, Plath says. And, of course, the day quickly arrived when there was virtually no market for mortgage-backed securities, forcing Wachovia to keep the loans and eventually write off billions of dollars worth. It wasnt until April, when the light at the end of the tunnel was seen by even the most willfully blind to be an oncoming locomotive, that Thompson acknowledged the obvious, even grudgingly. At a contentious annual meeting, he conceded, Clearly, Golden West was an ill-timed acquisition. Five weeks later, he was forced to retire. He was 57.
I can promise you, at Wachovia to get ahead, a great leader must put the team over himself or herself.
I stand here in front of you in the midst of difficult times. Im not here to sugarcoat things. Im not here to make excuses, and Im not here to tell you we were a victim of circumstance.
[Wachovia Chairman Lanty] Smith gave Mr. Thompson the bad news on Thursday in Mr. Thompsons 40th-floor office in Charlotte. Mr. Smith had personally persuaded the other board members to hasten Mr. Thompsons exit, according to people briefed on the situation. Mr. Thompson was said to be stunned.
Assuming the Times had it right, his reaction is all the more astonishing because it came just weeks after a shareholder had demanded his resignation at the annual meeting. Could Thompson truly have been surprised by his ouster? Perhaps he didnt understand that putting the team first might mean taking a bullet for it. (Thompson declined to discuss the events detailed here.) An even more dramatic end awaited the institution where he had spent his entire career. No sooner had Thompsons successor settled into the CEOs chair than the global credit crisis hit, toppling financial institutions like so many dominoes. Almost literally the last to fall before the federal government stirred itself into action and created the Troubled Asset Relief Program was Wachovia a bit of timing that only the most accomplished tragedian could have crafted. After Wachovia fell, the feds were throwing money at banks with the vigor of a newly paid ranch hand in town on a Saturday night. Wachovia didnt have to go down, a former top executive mutters darkly, a sentiment widely shared both within and beyond the bank.
The result was to turn Wachovia into a place with all the atmosphere of the Danish castle Elsinore, whose corridors Hamlet wandered sensing conspiracy and dirty deeds everywhere. Where Thompsons bewilderment about his fate is puzzling, that within Wachovias ranks over the forced sale of their bank to a competitor is understandable. After all, the loans inherited from Golden West were troubling but not fatal one day. The next day, a new value is assigned to that portfolio right after similar loans held by Washington Mutual Inc. were marked down and the bank is under water. Nothing had changed except how the loans were valued on the books. Even today, insiders whisper that Wachovia was sacrificed to keep afloat Citigroup, the troubled giant that had first crack at acquiring Wachovia in a deal brokered by the federal government. If true, what else can this be called but outrageous fortune set in motion by the classically tragic figure of Ken Thompson?

The GeForce 9800GT card is in many respects a rebadged 8800GT card in a new package. The 9800GT has many things in common with the earlier 8800GT which is both a blessing and a curse. Performance of the 9800GT in single mode is as to be expected of a 9800GT. Performance in SLI mode, however really shines with nearly double the performance of a single card across the board. Single card performance is not bad at all; its just not something to do loops over in a world full of VGA options.
Two 9800GTs beat a GeForce GTX280 which is pretty amazing considering the performance of that card. Palit 9800GT Super+ 1GB is available online today at a price of $170, meaning that two of them would cost you less than a GeForce GTX 280 which they would outperform and be a better value. Palit has released three versions of the 9800GT including the reference clocked one, this card which offers better cooling and 1GB of memory and the 9800GT Sonic card which has a higher clock speed. The addition of PhysX enabled software allows the card to improve frame rates up to 20% as it offloads the physics to the GPU from the graphics card. This is a serious Hot Product as in SLI mode you get one kick ass pair of VGA cards that can almost just plain wallop the GTX280 standard edition card.

Mexico's Congress recently approved tax measures that will affect investments made by foreign entities in Mexico, including changes to the application of tax treaty benefits to related party transactions, limitations on certain deductions and the introduction of withholding tax on dividends. To complete enactment procedures, the president must sign the bill and it must be published in the official gazette.
For an in-depth discussion of these changes approved by Congress on October 31, 2013, see "Tax Reform 2014" [PDF 397KB], a new publication prepared by KPMG Mexico.
In September, Mexico's Congress was presented with an economic package for 2014 that included, among other changes, various proposals to limit deductions, impose additional corporate income tax on profits or dividends distributed to foreign shareholders and implement anti-abuse rules. In late October, the Senate approved the tax reform provisions, following the passing of a revised version of the package by the congressional committee earlier that month.
Application of benefits of tax treaties
The package includes a measure that could affect the application of income tax treaty benefits (i.e., reduced withholding tax rates) when the income is not taxed in the other treaty-partner country. The measure specifically applies to tax treaty benefits for transactions between related parties and provides that the tax authorities may ask a foreign taxpayer (residing abroad) to prove the existence of "legal" double taxation through a statement, made under oath and signed by the taxpayer's legal representative.
This sworn statement must represent that income subject to tax in Mexico, and for which the taxpayer plans to apply income tax treaty benefits, is also subject to tax in the country of the income recipient's residence. With the sworn statement, the taxpayer's legal representative must include the applicable legal provisions, as well as the necessary documentation.
KPMG observation
It is not clear whether this measure could deny the reduction of withholding tax on dividends paid by Mexican companies to Canadian companies under the treaty where those dividends are essentially not taxed in Canada under the Canadian foreign affiliate rules. A similar concern may exist where dividends are paid to countries with participation exemption regimes.
Limitations on certain deductions
The tax reform package provides an arm's-length rule for deductible expenses that is effectively similar to the current transfer pricing laws for arm's length prices. The measure provides that payments of expenses to persons, legal entities, trusts, partnerships, investment funds, and any other legal vehicle whose income is subject to preferential tax treatment would not be deductible unless the taxpayer demonstrates that the price or the amount of the consideration is equal to the price or amount that would have been agreed to in comparable transactions between independent parties.
Limits on certain non-arm's length specific payments
Mexico has added an additional measure to the non-deductibility provision to limit specific payments including certain interest, royalty or technical assistance payments made to a foreign entity that controls or is controlled by the taxpayer. Generally, the payments are not deductible where:
"Control" is defined as when a party has effective control or administration over another party, to the degree that the controlling party could decide the time for the delivery or distribution of income, profits or dividends, either directly or by proxy.
"Payments" include an amount accrued in favour of any person and, when appropriate, any part of a payment.
This measure may affect payments made by Mexican companies to a parent company that is a hybrid entity or where the parent company is not subject to tax on the income because of a hybrid instrument.
Withholding tax on dividends
The package includes the introduction of a 10% withholding tax on the distribution of profits made to foreign shareholders by a Mexican entity—regardless of the CUFIN (net profits account) balance, and in addition to the standard 30% rate of corporate income tax on the grossed-up amount of the distribution exceeding the CUFIN balance. This 10% withholding tax would be payable by the Mexican company by the 17th day of the month following the date of the distribution, along with the Mexican company's monthly estimated tax payment.
A "grandfather rule" has also been added to clarify that this 10% withholding tax would apply only to profits generated as of January 1, 2014.
Note that, with respect to permanent establishments (PE), the tax would remain an additional 10% tax payable by the PE on the distribution of dividends or profits.
Mexican subsidiaries of Canadian companies may want to consider making a dividend distribution before the year-end.
Anti-abuse rules
Mexico's Congress has approved specific rules to counter the use of "tax invoices" when such invoices are not appropriately used and represent a "malpractice" by the taxpayer (an earlier anti-abuse rule was rejected during the legislative process).

- Manmohan Singh fights for "reformer" legacy as economy tottersPM Manmohan Singh's speech in Lok Sabha on current economic situation in IndiaIndia's economic growth slows to four-year low in June quarter: GovtShocker: Economic growth in India slips further to 4.4 per cent in April-June
The GDP data for the second quarter of this year has just been released and it paints a crisis picture for the economy. The year-on-year (yoy) GDP growth rate came in at 4.4%, making it the third successive quarter when GDP growth has come in below 5%. The previous two quarters yoy GDP growth registered 4.8% and 4.7%, respectively. If this fiscal year (2013-14) GDP growth comes in below 4.8%, it will mark the third slowest GDP growth since 1991, with the slowest growth observed in both 1997 and 2000, at 4%.
In his address to the nation yesterday, the PM talked of a 5.5% growth for the fiscal year. Given that we have the yoy data for the first quarter (Zyfin Research www.Zyfin.com recently published near perfect forecasts of GDP and deflator growth, both sequential and yoy), sequential quarterly growth in this quarter is around 4.2%, SAAR. Thus, sequential growth rate for each of the next three fiscal quarters will have to be close to 6% to meet the PMs forecast. There are some other scary implications. The finance minister earned the trust and confidence of many when he kept to his fiscal deficit promise of 5.2% of GDP for FY2012-13. For 2013-14, the target was ambitiously lowered to 4.8% of GDP. Contained in these estimates is tax revenue growth of close to 19%, expenditure growth of 16.3%, and nominal GDP growth of 12.8%. It is near impossible that the finance minister will even come close to the 4.8% deficit target. Nominal GDP growth expanded by 10.2%. Simple maths suggests that in order to meet the FMs nominal GDP growth target of 13%, the Indian economy will have to expand at a 14% nominal annualised rate in each of the next three quarters. This is simply not possible.
This low growth rate cannot be ascribed to external factors, US FED tapering etc. Most of our GDP decline is home-grown, and it is encouraging to note that several policymakers have admitted in recent days that it is not the outsiders, stupid. Both the FM and Subbarao are absolutely right (unlike the UPA apologists who believe that what is the problem all countries are more or less equally affected) or misguided experts who believe that 10% (food)-CPI inflation and 4% GDP growth is a sign of an overheated economy.
Potentially, there are two sources of grief for an economyfiscal and monetary policy. Regarding fiscal

I am currently investigating how introspection can be used in conjunction with code and data migration techniques to improve an Internet service's ability to adapt to changing network and resource conditions. Many of today's Internet services, such as e-mail, perform poorly when the connection to the server is high latency or low bandwidth. We have also shown that tomorrow's Internet services, based on peer-to-peer technologies, exhibit this same sensitivity to changes in network conditions. This sensitivity is usually due to inefficient use of the network connection.
Code and data migration techniques can be used to decrease this sensitivity by placing frequently used data objects nearer to the client, and by sending code fragments to run on the server to avoid round trip times. We are investigating how introspection can be used to build models of user access, so the infrastructure can predict expected user performance when code and data migration is used. Based on these models, the infrastructure can then decide when to employ the various code and data migration techniques to optimize a given metric.

The Israeli-Syrian Peace Talks: 1991-96 and Beyond
H, Fred, Shofar
by Helena Cobban. Washington, DC: United States Institute of Peace Press, 1999. 235 pp. $19.95.
Just how difficult it is to present an even-handed account of negotiations involving Israel and Syria to an American audience is evident in the very first paragraph of the foreword to this book, penned by the president of the United States Institute of Peace, Richard H. Solomon. Solomon attributes the collapse of almost five years of formal talks between the Israeli and Syrian governments to two factors: "a spate of Palestinian terrorist bombings and pressure on then-prime minister Shimon Peres from his own Labor Party". This assertion is hard to square with Helena Cobban's authoritative and nuanced analysis. Skip the foreword and proceed immediately to the main body of the text. You will be rewarded with a meticulous study of the origins, course, and eventual derailment of Israeli-Syrian negotiations during the 1990s that is almost impossible to put down. I read it in one sitting.
Cobban demonstrates that the series of meetings that took place between Israeli and Syrian representatives beginning in October 1991 accomplished a good deal more than one might think. Most important, the talks confirmed that the government in Damascus is serious about hammering out a permanent peace with Israel. President Hafiz al-Asad may have been uncharacteristically ebullient following his January 1995 summit with President Bill Clinton in Geneva, when he announced that the Syrian people "wanted the peace of the brave, a real peace that thrives, continues, guarantees the interests of all, and gives rights to their owners", but he was clearly not dissembling. Furthermore, the talks indicate that there is considerable congruence between fundamental Israeli and Syrian strategic objectives: as early as the summer of 1993, Cobban observes, "the structure proposed by the Syrians [concerning the final disposition of the Golan] appealed to the obsession with security matters that Rabin and Asad both shared. It thus provided a durable template for their negotiations and continued to be used by the two sides for the rest of Rabin's life". There was even a surprising degree of consensus between Yitzhak Rabin and Hafiz al-Asad regarding how the talks should proceed: both leaders were convinced of the benefits of "the creative use of ambiguity," "a resort to extreme secrecy," and "a very slow and carefully modulated pace" (pp. …

May 31, 2015This book is a must read. It was light and refreshing to read about the true gospel of Jesus Christ. It is about relationship and not religion. God loves us so much and wants only the very best for us. All God really wants is for us to trust him, to keep it simple and believe in his unfailing love for us. I could totally relate to his story and I am so grateful God chose me from the very beginning. God can turn any life around all we have to do is believe.Everything I have gone through God can use to strengthen others. Giving hope in my experience in Christ Jesus. It is all about his grace. In him we have NO worries.
Dec 21, 2013EXCELLENT book Dave it opened my eyes to what grace really means and helped me to put all my trust in the lord. I have been through many trails in my life and this book showed me that my life does have purpose and God is working in my life and I am starting to recognize his will. Thank you so much for writing this book. I have hope and have found true joy in my life.
Dec 16, 2013Read thos book, EXCELLENT! Short to the poing and could NOT set it down! Gave many away as gifts and everyone I gave it to enjoyed it very much! Best gift I could ever give. Also a great book to share with others. Recommend it highly!
Jun 15, 2012What an eye opener Dave's book was for me. Even though I've heard him quote much of what he wrote, I definitely needed to see it in black and white. Dave has taken his own life story to show me that regardless of what I have done, or may do in the future, God, as my Creator will love me unconditionally…no matter what. I have been able to look at my own life and now make different choices by just trusting in God's purpose for my being. God's grace is such a precious gift! This is not just a book; it is a guide. A book to be read and reread time and again as I am, and always will be, a work in progress. In his words, I have found hope and peace.
Jun 9, 2012Like the cover says this book nails the simplicity of faith in christianity! If you are confused by religion read this book. Dave takes you on a journey through his experiance that will leave you at peace with God. You will better understand how easy God made it for us to live a joyful life! Great book Dave!

Microsoft said on Monday that it is planning to roll out an official Kinect SDK in Spring.
WinRumors previously exclusively revealed that the software giant was planning its own SDK amid a growing community of "Kinect hackers". Microsoft officials confirmed the existence of the Windows based Kinect SDK during a special press event on Monday. Microsoft's Don Mattrick, president of the company's interactive business division said the software maker will ship the SDK in the Spring. The Microsoft next blog confirmed the news:
"The hope is that the SDK will unleash a wave of creativity to add to the already exciting developments we've seen on top of Kinect. The SDK will provide access to Kinect's sensor as well audio and system API's. It's being released by Microsoft Research as a non-commercial SDK aimed at academics and enthusiasts. As you may have read in earlier posts, MSR played a pivotal role by providing some of the core technology for Kinect in areas such as facial recognition and skeletal tracking and this SDK is more evidence of the tight collaboration between MSR and our product teams."
Microsoft has shipped over 8 million Kinect sensors in just 60 days on the market. Microsoft's Kinect sensor has been a phenomenal success story for the company. The console accessory sold out across a number of retailers during the recent festive season and Microsoft smashed its own estimates of 5 million units in 2010 by shipping 8 million devices. Kinect hackers have shown off Minority Report style multitouch control and the Kinect running on Mac OS X. Microsoft said in November that it left the USB connection on the Kinect open, "by design." Kinect hackers have recently taken the device to new heights. Videos emerged of device owners fully controlling Windows 7 and interactive prototype puppets. Kinect hacking is only at the very early stages but what's clear is hackers are demonstrating the potential of the technology for use on PCs.
Microsoft blogger Steve Clayton revealed recently that the company is excited by the hundreds of ways people are using Kinect. "The enthusiasm we are seeing in the scientific community – specifically the research and academic communities – around potential applications of Kinect, is exciting to see" wrote Clayton. WinRumors revealed in January that Microsoft is currently preparing an official SDK and Kinect drivers for Windows. Microsoft is set to unveil driver support and an SDK in the coming months and will allow third-party developers to create titles that utilize the Kinect sensor when plugged into a PC. According to sources familiar with the plans, Microsoft will distribute the drivers under the "beta" tag. Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer,promised Kinect for PC during an interview at CES and confirmed the company would announce official support "in the right time." It appears the Spring is now the "right time."

Opel HydroGen4 Gets First Wind-Sourced Hydrogen Fuel

Opel HydroGen4 Gets First Wind-Sourced Hydrogen Fuel
- Partners TOTAL and ENERTRAG make 'green' hydrogen available
- Pilot project with renewable energy on the streets of Berlin
(3BL Media) Berlin/Rüsselsheim - April 30, 2012 - An Opel HydroGen4 is the first fuel cell vehicle to use hydrogen sourced from wind power now that longstanding Opel partners TOTAL and ENERTRAG are supplying a Berlin gas station with the "green" hydrogen fuel. Both companies have been testing fuel cell vehicles for everyday use.
The hybrid power station run by ENERTRAG in the Berlin district of Prenzlau is now supplying wind-sourced hydrogen fuel to gas stations owned by TOTAL. Vehicles taking part in the hydrogen fuel Clean Energy Partnership (CEP) supported by the German government will now be powered by the environmentally friendly hydrogen fuel.
The use of hydrogen in the CEP project that is produced from renewable energy sources is a milestone on the path to emissions-free mobility. Hydrogen is able to store fluctuating renewable energy sources over longer periods that can be produced immediately at wind farms. In that sense, the hydrogen neither causes harmful emissions when it is sourced, nor when it is used as a fuel. The "exhaust" vapors emitted from fuel cell vehicles are only steam from water.

APART from having taken over at the helm of two iconic bluechip tech firms, both of which are now past their prime, newly-named Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri and Microsoft chief Satya Nadella have more in common both were just a year apart at the Manipal Institute of Technology near Mangalore in Karnataka.
And quite like the Microsoft-Nokia cross-linkages in the wake of their $7.17 billion September 2013 handset deal, both Suri and Nadella went through the same grind, walked through the same corridors, and were in all probability taught by the same faculty considering both were students of electronics and communications Nadella graduated in 1988 while Suri was in the 1989 batch.
MIT was rather modest in its celebration, with a statement claiming that Suris elevation as Nokia chief, coming in the wake Nadellas appointment as Microsoft CEO, indicated that Manipal Institute of Technology is as good an engineering institute as any in the world.
MIT director Dr Vinod V Thomas was more emphatic.
It is no coincidence or accident that these two MITians have made it big...Two of the top Fortune 500 companies being led by MIT alumni is indeed a noteworthy achievement. These are not merely fortuitous events, he said. For students preparing for their exams next month, Suris appointment was the most glorious piece of news after Nadellas elevation in February, he said.
Suri, 46, will start in his new role on May 1, Nokia said on Tuesday. Having been picked as the head of its networks division to spearhead the companys future and revive growth after selling its mobile phone business to Microsoft Corp., 149-year-old Nokia is intensifying its focus on wireless-network equipment as it faces a fresh start.
Suri, who has run the network unit for four years, needs to challenge bigger competitors such as Swedens Ericsson AB and Chinas Huawei Technologies Co., to turnaround dwindling equipment revenue, which accounts for about 90 per cent of Nokias sales now.
He has a proven ability to create strategic clarity, drive innovation and growth, ensure disciplined execution, and deliver results, chairman Risto Siilasmaa said in a statement. His passion for technology will help ensure Nokia continues to deliver innovations that have a positive impact on peoples lives, he sad. Suri has spent almost 20 years in Nokias networks business, dealing with strategy, mergers and acquisitions, sales and marketing before becoming its head in 2009.
Like his MIT junior, Nadella

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
I feel as long as I have this judge I think he will give me the five years - minus the 6mths served correct. I am hoping he will be rotated in a couple of years I don't think he will let me transfer the probation. He made a big point of no early termination in court. My attorney challenged that and he had to back down. The State's attorney only wanted 90 days and a year probation. The judge said no - so I don't think he will listen to a probation officer. I am not planning to violate - I will not drive - but I know I might go to a party or something and have a beer - it depends on how much the probation officer is determined to violate me. It appears in Florida you are better off doing drugs - people don't realize the consequences and the cost of DUI's. Even if you don't ever drink again this is on your record forever - no forgiveness.
Probation does have a right to randomly test you, for drugs and alcohol. They can arrive at your home or ask you to come into their office, for a test. Every Judge is different. If you know you have a strict Judge, make sure you do not mess up while on probation. Sitting in jail is not fun. You will get credit for any previous time served.

Full wall-to-wall coverage, including photo galleries, athlete interviews, recaps and columns are available at the Event Landing Page
By John Lohn
OMAHA, Nebraska, June 26. IF the script had been rewritten, maybe we could be here talking about one of the greatest sprinters in history. Maybe his name would be mentioned in the same breath as Alex Popov or Pieter van den Hoogenband. Instead, when Anthony Ervin's name is raised, the consensus thought goes something like this: He could have achieved so much more.
In 2000 and 2001, Ervin was one of the world's premier swimmers. At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, he shared the gold medal in the 50 freestyle with teammate Gary Hall Jr. A year later, he won the gold medal in the 100 freestyle at the World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan. After that, Ervin disappeared.
Lacking the interest to dedicate himself to a career in the sport, Ervin ventured into other things. He was interested in charitable causes, and even auctioned off his Olympic gold medal to support relief efforts related to the catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, a gesture which says a lot about his character and humanitarian ways. He got into music. He bounced around to various locales. While he stayed connected to swimming through teaching lessons, it wasn't competition.
"The biggest factor (in walking away) was the time I needed to figure things out," Ervin said. "I needed to be unfettered by the discipline needed in a professional sport."
Last year, though, Ervin decided to make a return. Training under Dave Durden at his former collegiate home, California-Berkeley, Ervin didn't set out to land an Olympic bid. Rather, it was a feeling-out process, a gauge of what he could do. It just happened to turn out that Ervin — blessed with raw sprinting talent — had enough time to make himself an Olympic contender.
Had Ervin not left the sport, we might be talking about a guy with seven, eight or nine Olympic medals. We might be talking about a guy who set a few world records, or who redefined sprinting. Of course, we're not. Still, late is better than never and having Ervin back in the mix could be a boon to American swimming if he shines this week, more than a decade after his first Olympic Trials.
With the way the Australians performed at their Olympic Trials back in March, the United States will have a tough go in the 400 free relay in London. Aussie James Magnussen has emerged as the top 100 freestyler in the world and his presence could sway the relay in a big way. We'll surely have a better feel for the 400 free relay later in the week, but Ervin could be a key factor for the United States. If Ervin rekindles his past form, or better, the prognostications for an Australian triumph might be tempered.
Ervin will open his Trials on Thursday with the preliminaries of the 100 freestyle and is slated to contest the 50 freestyle on Saturday. Ervin's best chance in the 100 free is nailing down a relay berth. Individually, the 50 free is his best opportunity. The good news is that Ervin isn't looking at this comeback as a brief return.
"I don't have any regrets," he said. "What could have been? I don't know the answer to that. But I'm privileged to be here now."
Earning a spot on the Olympic team is not a far-fetched possibility for Ervin, either. True, Nathan Adrian and Jimmy Feigen might be better bets, but who is going to overlook an Olympic champion, especially one with pure sprinting skill. Beyond this summer, Ervin has no plans of vanishing again, which is an even better sign for American sprinting.
"I plan on sticking around for a little while," he said. "Six or seven months ago, I didn't expect to be in contention (for an Olympic bid) and here I am. I would like to do some things I didn't get the chance to do when I was younger, like going to the World Cup. I'm going to continue to compete here and abroad. I'd like to see a couple more years."

way", the report alleged.
"To encourage Indian-ness of its anti-coal approach, Greenpeace has financed a private research institute to study health, pollution and other aspects at Mahaan and plans to use the Mahaan case as a precursor for a ban on all coal blocks," it said.
On Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), the report said six NGOs are at the forefront of anti-G.M.Food activism in India and funds for it are received mainly from Germany.
According to the report, future plans to take down fresh economic development projects include protests against palm oil imports, migration of workers to cities for construction work, campaign against disposal of e-waste generated by Information Technology companies and Par Tapi-Narmada river interlinking in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The future plans also include debunking the Gujarat model of development, Special Investment Region in Gujarat and Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, says the IB report.

Greenpeace today rubbished an Intelligence Bureau report which reportedly described the NGO as "a threat to national economic security" and alleged it was an attempt to silence its voice.
"It is an attempt to silence our voice. In the past, an attempt was made to silence us but we never bowed down. We will respond when the matter comes to us...", Abhishek Pratap, Senior Campaigner, Greenpeace, India, told a press conference here.
Asking the government to share the IB report with Greenpeace, he said "we believe that this report is designed to muzzle and silence the civil society who raise their voices against injustices to people and the environment by asking uncomfortable questions about the current model of growth".
Pratap alleged the IB report has not been made in the last two weeks.
To a question that Greenpeace India is being seen as a supporter of the US against the backdrop of its backing to the agitation against Kudankulam nuclear power project being built by Russians, Pratap said there was no truth in the allegations.
"There is no iota of truth in that. We received two-thirds of our funding from India... Yes, there are individual supporters in America and Europe also... But these all are individuals," he noted.
Speaking on the occasion, Bharti Sinha, Communication Director, Greenpeace India, said the IB should have engaged with the NGO to get clarifications on its functioning.
"As far as the IB is concerned, they are doing their job...If IB had engaged with us, they would have come


text: Water Resources Reform and Development Act Farmers Hope For River System Improvements By Rich Egger • Jun 9, 2014 Kenneth Spencer/flickr Farmers and ag groups in the Midwest say the U.S. river system needs an upgrade, and they're hopeful it will come with proposed improvements in legislation recently passed by Congress. The nation's rivers are essential for moving agricultural products to market. "It's our third coast, if you will," said Jim Tarmann, field services director with the Illinois Corn Growers Association. "Over 60 percent of our grain exports move via the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. That's how things get to our world markets."

The Chilean gave himself a 5 out of 10 when asked to rate his performance since he arrived at the Catalan Club, he added that "I can give a lot more of myself"
The Chilean played down Barça's 8-point lead over Real Madrid and he noted that "we have a long way to go if we want to win the Liga"
Happy Alexis
Alexis Sánchez is one of the biggest pranksters in the Barça dressing room. The player, however, noted that "I came to play, not to tell jokes. But I'm a happy guy, and for me that's the most important thing."
Alexis Sánchez talked to the press this afternoon at the Ciutat Esportiva. A year after joining FC Barcelona, the team's number 9 recognised that he's yet to hit his best form. When asked to rate his performance as an Azulgrana, he didn't hesitate to give himself a five out of 10 while adding, "the best Alexis hasn't arrived yet." The Chilean went on to say that "I can give a lot more of myself and I know how good of a player I am."
Alexis' goals for the new season
"I accept the criticism because it makes me stronger." Alexis knows that in the world of football players can be scrutinized at any moment, but he noted that he prefers to use the scrutiny to improve his game. In order to improve, the Chilean said that "I have to let myself go a bit more and take on my marks more often."
In addition, Alexis is aware that he's responsible for "earning a spot in the starting line-up, I'm going to make it difficult for my team-mates - they're going to have to work for it as well."
Barça's run in the Liga
The player also talked about Barça's winning streak in the Liga and the eight-point advantage Barça have over Real Madrid - who visit the Camp Nou on October 7. The Chilean noted that while the Clásico is just around the corner, that he's focused on the match against Sevilla: "On Saturday we have an important match. There's a lot of Liga still yet to be played if we want to win the title."
Finally, Alexis said that he'd bet on Leo Messi winning the Ballon d'Or this year.

Fugate: FEMA trailers probably won't be necessary for Hurricane Sandy victims
Rental housing should be abundant enough that the Federal Emergency Management Agency won't have to provide trailers to victims of Hurricane Sandy, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said Nov. 1.
In a press call with reporters, Fugate said FEMA is working to get people in need of shelter into hotels and motels and also assessing who will need longer-term rental assistance.
FEMA had already sent out more than $1 million for those programs as of Oct. 31. Those aren't just approved funds, Fugate said--FEMA has already provided them.
Fugate said he had also been in touch with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which has begun to assess needs for interim housing for residents of public housing, especially in Lower Manhattan.
The federal government has also coordinated assistance from utility crews from as far away as California. Transportation Department aircraft will fly some teams and equipment to the East Coast to expedite their arrival, Fugate said.
Additionally, 252 generators from the Army Corps of Engineers had reached hospitals, nursing homes and other large facilities as of Oct. 31, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters.
Hundreds more were en route at that time, she added.
Fugate said the federal government has not yet decided whether to adjust the affected states' cost-share requirements. FEMA can recommend to the president adjustments in extraordinary circumstances.
The cost-share takes the form of a reimbursement from FEMA after the fact. No assessment of total damages from Hurricane Sandy has taken place yet.

Press Release 14-039 Breaking the Ice
R/V Sikuliaq completes preliminary acceptance trials
R/V Sikuliaq departs Wisconsin shipyard for five days of preliminary acceptance trials.
Credit and Larger Version
March 20, 2014
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) ice-capable research vessel R/V Sikuliaq conducted preliminary acceptance trials on the Great Lakes at the end of February, and NSF planners hope to have her in the Washington, D.C., area for a summer visit while completing the remainder of her testing along the east coast.
The NSF-owned research vessel is a 261-foot ship that the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences will operate as part of the U.S. academic research fleet. R/V Sikuliaq is uniquely equipped to operate in ice-choked waters and will be able to do so in extreme ecosystems, especially in the Arctic region, serving the science and engineering research communities for decades to come.
By late September, R/V Sikuliaq is expected to begin funded science, but the historically cold winter on the Great Lakes gave an ideal opportunity to assess her performance in ice ahead of more formal trials. Video is available of R/V Sikuliaq returning from her preliminary acceptance trials, and here are a few snapshots courtesy of Matthew Hawkins, a program director in NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences.

The Complete Bruckner in a New Edition
The Vienna Musikwissenschaftlicher Verlag is proud to announce the New Bruckner Edition. In cooperation with the International Bruckner Society and with the Austrian National Library, the fi rst volume of this new complete edition of the works of Anton Bruckner (1824 – 1896) will appear approximately in Autumn, 2012.
All compositions by the Austrian composer will be newly edited for the New Bruckner Edition. Each volume is prepared by internationally renowned Bruckner scholars according to uniform and up-to-date editorial guidelines and not only takes into account the most recent discoveries of source material, but also places more importance on questions of performance practice. Faithfully to present the authentic urtext remains the uppermost priority.
Apart from a comprehensive preface which includes discussions of source material, creative process and reception history as well as of questions of performance practice, each volume contains a critical report. All texts appear in German and English. Each volume will be printed in both full-sized conductor's score and in study score format. Performance materials will be available on hire from Alkor Edition, Kassel, Germany.
Even before its launch, the New Bruckner Edition" has gained prominent advocates: The Vienna Philharmonic have agreed to assume official patronage of this edition.
The "blue volumes" of the Anton Bruckner Complete Edition also published by the Vienna Musikwissenschaftlicher Verlag 1934 – 1944 under the general editorship of Robert Haas (1886 – 1960) and later under the editorship of Leopold Nowak (1904 – 1991) will remain available in the future.

If there's one genre that's benefited from the recent boom of home viewing options, it's the indie comedy. With the glut of studio comedies regularly choking the multiplexes, it's easy for the smaller comedies to get lost along the way. The breakout success of things like "Bachelorette" has shown distributors that the audience is there and, with a little prodding, they'll click, download, and whatever else happens when you download a movie at home. Two more comedies looking for that VOD gold have just released trailers: "Ass Backwards," starring June Diane Raphael, Casey Wilson and Alicia Silverstone and "Best Man Down," with Justin Long and former indie movie queen Jess Weixler, which, despite the title, is sadly not a wedding-set sequel to "White House Down."
"Ass Backwards," which played at Sundance earlier this year, seems like the unholy love child of "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion," with a pair of former child beauty pageant stars (Raphael and Wilson) who are invited back for an anniversary pageant. Silverstone plays the girl who kept beating them at the pageants. It looks pretty funny, if somewhat silly, and we love the fact that Raphael and Wilson co-wrote it as well as star in it (especially after "Happy Endings" was canceled – we need our Wilson fix!). The impressive supporting cast includes Jon Cryer, Vincent D'Onofrio, Paul Scheer, and Bob Odenkirk.
Taking a more sincere approach is "Best Man Down," the dark, romantic comedy starring Justin Long and Jess Weixler that concerns Long's best friend (played by character actor Tyler Labine), who dies on the couple's wedding night. According to the trailer, this leads the pair to try and find out about their dead friend as they prepare for his funeral. The trailer oscillates wildly between super twee dark comedy and almost painful, heart-tugging sincerity, and it's kind of hard to get across in a brief trailer. We remain cautiously optimistic, mostly because Long and Weixler are gifted comedic performers and the supporting cast includes people like Frances O'Connor and Shelley Long.
"Ass Backwards" is on demand on September 30th and in theaters on November 8th. "Best Man Down" is on demand on October 3rd and in theaters on November 8th. Download them or else. Watch both trailers below.

University of Alabama senior quarterback Brodie Croyle and senior defensive end Mark Anderson have been named Southeastern Conference Players of the Week as announced by the league office.
Anderson, named the SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week, was the top tackler on the line for the Tide totaling four tackles, including 1.5 sacks for a loss for four yards. He also forced a fumble on the first play from scrimmage and recorded a career high three pass break-ups. One of his break-ups resulted in a Chris Harris interception that was returned to the Gator two yard line. Anderson was instrumental in helping the Tide defense keep the Florida Gators out of the end zone for the first time since 1992.
Croyle, named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week, tossed a career high three touchdown passes in Alabama's 31-3 victory over the Gators. He finished the game with only three incompletions (14 for 17) while passing for 283 yards against the top pass defense in the SEC. His first pass of the game (the first play from scrimmage for Alabama) resulted in an 87 yard touchdown strike to Tyrone Prothro. In the process of throwing three TD passes, Croyle broke the all-time record for touchdown passes in a career with his 36th.
The honor was a first for both athletes and the fifth and sixth this season for the Crimson Tide. Tyrone Prothro was named the league's Special Teams player of the week on September 12 and running back Kenneth Darby was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 19. DeMeco Ryans (Defensive Player of the Week) and Jeremy Schatz (Special Teams) were honored last week by the conference.
