Irish filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson ("Adam & Paul," "Garage") gives us a look into the wealthy suburbs of Dublin in "What Richard Did." The film follows a group of Irish teenage boys during their last summer together, leading up to an act of jealousy that affects main character Richard's life. Abrahamson told Indiewire that he hopes audiences walk away with "fewer certainties" after the film and gave a breakdown of helpful Irish slang.
What it's about: It's a kind of dark coming-of-age story about the fall of a beautiful and gifted teenage boy. It's set in Dublin's wealthy suburbs.
About the filmmaker: This is my third feature after 'Adam & Paul' and 'Garage'. I started out studying philosophy (first in Dublin, where I'm from and then at Stanford in the US) but film has been in my head since I was a teenager. I'd made shorts on the side and eventually left academia to try to make films for real. I might be the only person ever to move from California to Dublin to chase a life in cinema.
What else do you want audiences to know about your film? I prefer audiences to walk into a screening with no preconceptions. A film should be complete enough to stand without any extra scene setting or explanation.
But ... maybe a glossary of unusual slang would be helpful and not really cheating:
Gaff - house
Knacker drinking - drinking cans on waste ground. ('Knacker' is a really pejorative word sometimes used to refer to anyone from a poor background)
D4/Dublin 4 - a part of Dublin where lots of wealthy families live, where these kids come form. Bastion of privilege and subject of much satire, suspicion and jealousy in Irish culture.
Culchie (pronounced Kulchy) - someone from the country. Irish for 'hick'.
The Jays - Richard and his gang play schools rugby (a very D4 thing to do). The Jays are the Junior first team, like the S is the senior first team.
GAA - Gaelic Athletic Association, the body that runs all the uniquely Irish sports like hurling and Gaelic football. It's traditionally looked down on by lots of kids from Richard's background as one of the heartlands of culchie-dom
The Nets - Cricket is another D4 sport (both cricket and rugby are originally British sports, hence the tension with the GAA). In cricket big nets are used during batting practice.
What was your biggest challenge in developing this project? Everything, like always.
What would you like Tribeca audiences to come away with after seeing your film? Fewer certainties.
Did any specific films inspire you? I think all the films I love have a bearing on everything I make.
What do you have in the works? I'm currently in the edit with a film called 'Frank' which is about a wannabe musician who goes on the road with a bizarre band led by Frank, a gifted, if deranged, singer who permanently wears a large fake head. It's strange and funny. It has a strong cast; Domhnall Gleeson, Michael Fassbender, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Scoot McNairy, Carla Azar (drummer with Autolux and Jack White's all-girl band) and Francois Civil (an amazing young French actor and excellent bass player). All the music is original and is played live by the band. No playback. The story is set in the UK, Ireland and the US (we shot in New Mexico earlier this year.)
Indiewire invited Tribeca Film Festival directors to tell us about their films, including what inspired them, the challenges they faced and what they're doing next. We'll be publishing their responses leading up to the 2013 festival.
Keep checking HERE every day up to the launch of the festival on April 17 for the latest profiles.

Call our certified SCUBA Instructors
Mon - Sat - 8AM - 6PM PST
This instructional video demonstrates the functionality and uses of a Full Face Scuba Diving Mask.
Full Face Diving Masks cover the scuba diver's entire face and have some special features not found in standard dive masks. Using a full face mask allows the diver to breathe from both the mouth and nose, results in less fatigue because the diver does not have to bite down on a mouth piece during the dive. They are excellent for colder water, do not require defogging and are almost impossible to flood. With the addition of a communication system you can even talk underwater to other divers.

Having pruned fingers and toes from hanging in the pool for days on end is a fond childhood memory of many. For years children have been flocking to the nearest public pool to dive, splash and cannonball. Those unbearably hot summer days can make it impossible to do anything but go to the pool and cool down. Whether you have your own pool or travel to the nearest public pool, it is great to cool down with a nice swim.
If you and your children are spending a lot of time at a pool, we want you to be prepared. Sun and pool safety were a few of our Summer Safety Tips for Kids that we encourage you consider before heading out to the pool. To make sure you're well prepared for a day at the pool, use the following list as a guide for what to pack:
We hope these tips help you have a safe and enjoyable day at the pool with your kids. For parents with older kids who may be going to the pool without adult supervision, share these tips with them to be sure they are also well prepared.

Man sentenced for dragging officer under car
SANTA ANA – A man who dragged a Garden Grove police officer under his car for several feet during a traffic stop was sentenced Thursday to six years in state prison, the Orange County District Attorney's Office said.
Marcos Gonzalez, 28, of Fullerton pleaded guilty to one felony count of assault of a police officer with sentencing enhancements for causing great bodily injury and having a prior conviction for possession for sale of a controlled substance in 2007, prosecutors said in a news release.
After a traffic stop Nov. 2, 2011, officer Chuck Starnes attempted to prevent Gonzalez from getting back into his vehicle but was knocked down after being hit by the driver's door, the D.A.'s Office said.
With Starnes hanging outside the vehicle, Gonzalez attempted to drive away, dragging the officer for several feet before he fell to the ground, prosecutors said. Gonzalez, who then fled, was arrested three days later in Riverside County.
Starnes, a 10-year veteran, was taken to a hospital and treated for significant back injuries, authorities said.

Bilbao -0.5 @ 2.67
or Bilbao +0.5 @ 1.52
Bilbao are on fire at the moment, the team have got used to Bielsa's unconventional formation over the last 2-3 months. For me, he's as good as Mourihno, Guardiola or Emery.....Betis are so inconsistent at home, so it does depend which Betis turns up, but i strongly feel 2.67 is well underpriced, it'd take as low as 1.9-2.0.....the bookmakers are still pricing them based on their disasterous start to the season (because of the unusual formation and personal being tried in different positions they were unfamiliar with--attackers at left back, midfielders in central defence)...it was always going to take a bit of time. anyway, llorente is scoring crazy amounts of goals, muniain is surely going to squeeze into spains euro team etc...
overs 2.5 is @ 2.05, which is also a little generous considering the amount of goals (for and against) that atletic's games produce.
any of those 3 above would be looking at, imo.

Survivor: One World Recap — Battle Of The Sexes!
February 15, 2012 08:05 PM by Ryan Haidet
I know my excitement for a Survivor premiere sometimes makes the first episode seem more exciting than it actually is, but tonight's debut of Survivor: One World is one of the best I've ever seen. Truly. If it was drama you were seeking, this episode delivered everything you could imagine. There was thievery, fighting, arrogance, Idol hunting and physical pain. The first Immunity challenge was so brutal that an injury brought the entire battle to an abrupt halt with medical stepping in to evaluate one castaway. If you missed the premiere, you missed a great one… but I've got you covered. Read on for all the juicy details about the Survivor: One World premiere!
Call me a nerd, but the episode did begin with a slight level of disappointment. I always look forward to the official opening with the full theme song and cast credits. It just gets the Survivor nerd blood flowing. But that didn't happen tonight because the full intro was missing. Now don't start yelling at your computer and calling me a moron because I realize the full theme has been cut many times — especially in recent seasons — but never in the first episode like that.
But that is honestly my only complaint about how this season premiere went down.
Men Vs. Women
When the 18 all-new castaways landed at the beach, host Jeff Probst divided them into two tribes divided along gender lines. Colton was clearly not happy with the way the game was starting. "Look at my tribe and look at me. I'm the girl within the guy tribe."
Next, Probst gave both tribes 60 seconds to strip everything they could off of the truck they rode in on. While the women were busy trying to collect as much as they could, they didn't notice one of the guys, Michael, was swiping their stuff. Right under their noses, Michael made more than one trip into their territory and took most of the stuff the women had already gathered. When the time was up, the ladies were shocked to see the ax they had grabbed, among other things, was missing.
Probst then told the group that hidden Immunity Idols are in play once again this season, but Redemption Island is out. After tossing each tribe their maps to camp, he sent them on their way. But neither group realized they would be living at the same beach.
Living Together
While hiking to camp, two things were made clear. 1. Jonas was impressed with Leif's strength as he carried some of the largest items. "He's a buff, little dude." 2. The women weren't messing around and an alliance was formed with Alicia, Kat, Sabrina, Chelsea and Kim.
Salani, the women's tribe, arrived at camp first and saw both team flags on the same beach. "What is going on?" Sabrina asked. "Are those suckers living with us?" Moments later, the guys arrived with shocked looks on their faces when they saw the women at their camp.
This is where the twist really got interesting. Within a few moments, the group spotted a few chickens running around camp. Matt made a hurried agreement with the women that they would all share the chickens, but it just so happened that the guys couldn't catch any of 'em. Instead, Chelsea made it look easy and snatched up two of the chickens all by herself. When the hunt was finished, the guys asked for the women to hand one of the chickens over — but the women didn't do it. They were upset about having their supplies stolen and felt like they didn't need to give their food away.
Matt was instantly pissed. "I don't care about those girls," he said in confessional. "You give us that chicken as an apology and then we'll think about talking." His arrogance was thick right off the bat and I think Matt may actually be surprised by the response he will get from fans. If his attitude stays the way it is, his all-American, boy-next-door good looks won't be enough to gather him any female fans.
After that issue settled, Matt noticed Colton was spending a lot of time with the women's tribe. After saying it didn't matter that Colton was gay, Matt added that Colton will be "going home quick" if he doesn't try to start working with the guys. To secure his spot, Matt then made an alliance with Michael, Jay and Bill. "We're the young, fit guys," he said. "It's the dominant alliance, clearly. So I'm sitting pretty as far as I'm concerned."
Meanwhile, Colton made a ballsy move as he spent more time bonding with the women. After winning all of them over with his humor, Colton asked Christina, Monica and Sabrina to help him find a hidden Immunity Idol so he could be secure from the manly vote.
Fire Fight
Without any apparent struggle, the men started a fire at their camp by rubbing sticks together. I don't know if they gathered any special material off the truck to help them spark the blaze, but it ignited awfully easy. Almost too easy. The women took notice and offered to give the men one of their chickens in exchange for an ember. The guys struck the deal down by saying they had already lost their chance by not giving up a chicken like they had agreed to in the first place.
But the women weren't going to take no for an answer. When the guys fell asleep, Monica and Christina snuck over and stole an ember from their fire. Slick move. But they totally fouled up that slick move by letting the fire go out by morning, which brought them back to trying to cut a deal with the guys. Desperate to have a secure flame, Christina agreed to have the women weave 20 fronds in exchange for fire. Makes sense, right? Not in Alicia's world. She was extremely angry that Christina would make those kinds of agreements with the guys.
Challenge Pain
The first Immunity challenge of the season was essentially a big obstacle course, which started with a 25-foot jump into a net. When Kourtney took her turn, she landed weird and hurt her wrist. As both tribes reached the second stage of the challenge, Probst noticed Kourtney sitting down and asked her if she was OK. "I don't think I can do it," Kourtney said, which sparked Probst to stop the challenge immediately. The medical team was brought in to evaluate Kourtney, but they said an X-ray would be needed to see how bad the injury was and to determine her status in the game.
Since the challenge rules stated it was necessary for nine people to reach the finish line to be victorious, the men won by default. But Probst offered up a gesture of good will to the guys. Instead of taking their victory by sacrifice, they could agree to continue the challenge. "The only thing I'm reminding you guys of is that it is the single biggest mistake made in this game is doing decisions early on that nobody will forgive you for in the end. But it is your call." After a short discussion, the men decided to take the win and end the challenge. The women couldn't believe the men took the easy way out. They actually even argued with Troyzan about their decision.
Arrogance & An Idol
When both tribes returned to camp, Matt's arrogance continued. He said the men didn't really need to let the challenge continue because they believed they would have won anyway. I will say I don't completely disagree with the men's decision to take the victory that was handed to them. It is a game. But I don't agree with making excuses for your choice by saying it wouldn't have mattered anyway. If that was the case, then play it out.
Meanwhile, Sabrina stumbled upon a hidden Immunity Idol when walking around camp. But her excitement was quickly subdued when the note inside revealed the Idol was actually intended for a member of the Manono tribe. The instructions also revealed that she had to give the Idol away to one of the guys before the next Tribal Council. Just like that, Colton's wish came true. Sabrina surprised him with the Idol and gave it away while suggesting he use it to knock out one of the powerful Manono men. That wasn't a problem for Colton because Matt is his early target. "We'll cut his throat faster than Taylor Swift will write a song about an ex-boyfriend."
The First Casualty
The first Tribal Council started with Kourtney's presence, which Probst promised he would discuss soon enough. Without much time passing by, a fight sparked between Christina and Alicia regarding the deal for fire. As Christina explained what happened, Alicia wouldn't let the story fly. But Christina wasn't backing down either. She actually snapped at Alicia and told her to shut up. Probst shook his head in amazement.
Then came the news about Kourtney. Although she was doing fine, Probst said her wrist was broken in several spots and would require surgery. With that, Kourtney became the first official elimination. For that reason, no vote was held and the women returned to camp with a few parting words from Probst. "There are 36 days left in this game and if you don't get it together, none of you will make to the end. That's what I send you home with tonight."
I must admit, Kourtney was an early favorite for me and I'm very sad to see her go. In fact, a lot of fans are bummed she's been booted as some are posting online that this is the "worst first elimination ever."
What did you think of the first episode? Who is your favorite? Do you think the women should have shared a chicken? Do you think the men should have shared their fire? Were you surprised the men didn't agree to complete the Immunity challenge? Sound off and leave a comment below!

No! The women should not have given the men a chicken. The men didn't have a problem accepting victory in a challenge they didn't win, so why would the women have a problem keeping the victory (chickens) they did win? The men all are spoiled brats that want everything their way because the are MEN and women should worship them for it and give them what they want. Women need to step up their game and not help the men at all. If the women want to win this game they need to ignore the men, excepts for a few well placed compliments to lure them, and get on with the game as cruelly as the men are playing it.

James Harrison has left a trail of broken bodies in Cleveland and I'm not just talking about guys on the roster. Sure, Mohamed Massaquoi, Josh Cribbs and Colt McCoy took their bumps (videos,) but remember that James Harrison also suplexed an unruly Browns fan who ran on the field during a game.
Well now, James Harrison is no longer a member of the Steelers.
It's been a great run but all good things must come to a end. Thank you Steelers Nation I will miss you all!
— James Harrison (@jharrison9292) March 9, 2013
As Harrison is set to turn 35 years old in May, he apparently wouldn't agree to cut his salary back from the approximate $6.5 million he was set to make in 2013. His knees were also giving him problems over the last few years.
There are enough teams converting to the 3-4 and enough teams that might not mind taking a chance on an older Harrison assuming they don't need him to play full time anymore. It will be interesting to see just how much money Harrison gets and from which team.
For whatever reason, I really don't expect the Browns to be that team.

Conservation funding shift debated
HARRISBURG - A proposed state funding switch could hurt conservation districts in Monroe and Pike counties that face additional work due to the construction of natural gas pipelines, Sen. Lisa Baker said Friday.
Baker, R-Lehman Township, questioned the state environmental secretary at a Senate budget hearing this week about a proposal to shift the source of state aid for county conservation districts from the taxpayer-supported General Fund to impact fee revenue paid by gas drillers in the Marcellus Shale region.
The conservation districts in Monroe and Pike would be shortchanged under the proposal since they have a role in overseeing the pipelines yet don't receive the additional impact fee revenue that would be available if gas wells were being drilled in the counties, said Baker.
The state budget for fiscal 2013-14 proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett provides no funding for conservation districts. That aid amounted to $2.8 million this year.
The impact fee law enacted last year provides an earmark for county conservation districts that will amount to $5 million for 2012 and $7.5 million for 2013, said Michael Krancer, secretary of the state Department of Environmental Protection.
"I would argue the conservation districts will be in better shape," added Krancer. He said impact fee revenue may prove a more reliable source of funding than a state budget appropriation that is subject to cuts.
Krancer said he will look into the issue involving districts with pipeline activity.
Impact fee revenue is not meant to be a substitute for a budget appropriation, said Sen. Judy Schwank, D-Reading.
She said many counties are cutting aid to conservation districts and revenue from building permits that goes to the districts has declined with the economic downturn.

The biggest news surrounding this year's admission class isn't the number of students who were admitted. It's the number of students who weren't accepted.
For the first time in university history, Tulane's freshman acceptance rate dropped below the 50 percent mark.
Of the 17,572 high school seniors who applied, the university accepted 7,862, a rate of 44.7 percent.
"It's like being a member of the Millionaire's Club--you're not phenomenally wealthy, but you're in pretty good company," says Richard Whiteside, dean of admission and vice president for enrollment management and institutional research.
"I think that's basically what you're looking at when you say you accept fewer than 50 percent of your applicants--it's not like you're the most selective university in the world, but you're in pretty good company."
But the 50-percent mark is of more than just symbolic value, Whiteside adds. "A fair number of the evaluation systems that are used to generate national rankings, like U.S. News, use the acceptance rate in their formula for determining admissions selectivity and then admissions selectivity is used in determining final rankings. In U.S. News & World Report, our admission selectivity rating is 40.
About five years ago, that number was 64. So we've improved by almost 50 percent." This year's freshman class came in at 1,613 students, 4.4 percent fewer than last year's class of 1,684 but in line with undergraduate admission's target of 1,600 students.
The average SAT, excluding University College, is 1344 and 64 percent finished in the top 10 percent of their graduating class. This year's yield, or the percentage of students offered admission who chose to enroll, was 20.5, a percentage point lower than last year.
According to Whiteside, the reasons students give when asked why they chose Tulane remain the same: location, academic programs and financial incentives. Lowering the acceptance rate was made easier thanks to a 25 percent increase in applications. Whiteside attributes the rise to Tulane's growing reputation, a national increase in the number of collegebound seniors and, not insignificantly, an aggressive outreach and recruiting strategy on the part of the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
"We now contact all of the students in our inquiry pool and give them the opportunity to apply online at a reduced application fee amount," he explains. "We contact more high school juniors than we ever did before. We are now in direct mail contact with 535,000 high school students." Whiteside says he expects next year's target enrollment to remain at 1,600 students. Early indications are that it will be another good year. "About 17,000 people attended our fall receptions," he says. "Our early activity levels look huge."

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
A little more information would help. What are the age(s) of the child(ren)? How long are they visiting for?
And how long are they visiting?
And, lastly, what is it that they're not coming with? Clean clothing? Necessary medicine?
Are you the custodial or the noncustodial parent?
Ok, let me answer your original question.
The Child Support Guidelines were created by the federal government by studying intact families and deriving the costs of having children in the household. Then, they were adjusted to take into account the more common visitation arrangements (I would say that your's is pretty typical). That means, routine stuff like food, trip to the movies, etc (and I would include laundry in this) were assumed to be provided by the noncustodial parent when they were on the visits. Thus, the legal answer is that the noncustodial parent should routinely launder clothing for the days that they're there.
Possibly. In theory, a refusal to do the routine stuff such as laundry could be a basis for requesting the judge to deviate upwards from the child support guidelines, to compensate for you having to do this extra. But for some practical suggestions: You just have a d***k for an ex. You can bet that kids this age are well aware of what's going on. I always advise my clients to take the 'high road' approach. Unless you have to go back to court anyways, its not cost-effective to try for a deviation over this. Think in the long picture ... what will these kids say about their childhood when they are adults themselves?

Laundering Illegal Money? There's Ultraluxury New York Real Estate For That
For decades, if one wanted to launder a few million (or billion) without paying taxes and attracting undue government attention, the proper venue were bank accounts in Geneva, Zurich or Bern. However, following recent events when courtesy of Barack Obama's tax "transparency" (if nowhere else) initiative, Swiss bank secrecy no longer exists, the world's uber-wealthy were stuck with a quandary: "where do we park our trillions in illicit cash without attracting the attention of tax and government authorities?"
Two years ago we revealed the answer, when we wrote "This is why the NAR will never be prosecuted for facilitating money laundering":
... a foreigner who may or may not have engaged in massive criminal activity and/or dealt with Iran, Afghanistan, or any other bogeyman du jour at some point in their past, and is using US real estate merely as a money-laundering front perhaps? Sadly, we will never know. Why? As explained before, it is all thanks to the National Association of Realtors - those wonderful people who bring you the existing home sales update every month (with a documented upward bias every single time) - which just so happens is the only organization that actively lobbied for and received an exemption from AML regulation compliance. In other words, unlike HSBC, the NAR is untouchable, even if it were to sell a triplex to Ahmedinejad on West 57th street.
As a reminder, here is where the NAR stands on the issue of its most generous clients possibly being some of the worst criminal known to man, courtesy of Elanus Capital:
Many of you reading this will undoubtedly have spent time in an international bank and been forced to sit through countless hours of "know your client" and AML training. Fascinating to note that the National Association of Realtors lobbied for and received a waiver from such regulation. That's right, realtors actually went to the U.S. government and said: we want to be able to help foreign business oligarchs and other nefarious business people launder money through the real estate markets of the United States – and prevailed.
Here's their official position:
"NAR supports continued efforts to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism through the regulation of entities using a risk-based analysis. Any risk-based assessment would likely find very little risk of money laundering involving real estate agents or brokers. Regulations that would require real estate agents and brokers to adopt anti-money laundering programs may prove to be burdensome and unnecessary given the existing ML/TF regulations that already apply to United States financial institutions."
Hat's off to the NAR – that is some serious doublespeak. My translation: We'll support you as long as we don't have to support you.
If after skimming the above, readers are still confused what the reason is for the luxury segment of the US housing market continuing to rise in price even as all other segments of the quadruplicate US housing market as explained here languish, we suggest rereading it as many times as necessary.
Indeed, the scheme was all the more attractive to Obama because in one fell swoop, the US president crushed Switzerland as the venue to park hot capital, and instead gave a green light to "deposit" said illegal funds in US ultra-luxury real estate, in the process pushing up real estate prices, if only at the high end, much higher, and giving the population the false impression that the housing market has not only stabilized (it hasn't) but is improving. Case in point: the latest just released NAR pending home sales data, about which even the NAR's always cheerful Larry Yun had the following caveat:
"The flourishing stock market the last few years has propelled sales in the higher price brackets, while sales for homes under $250,000 are 10 percent behind last year's pace.... Solid income growth and a slight easing in underwriting standards are needed to encourage first-time buyer participation, especially as renting becomes less affordable."
Odd how the NAR had nothing to say about foreigners abusing the NAR's exemption from anti-money laundering provisions. Which, incidentally, is the only reason why there is still any bid in US housing, which as we have shown before, is entirely at the ultra high end.
Today, we can finally end any debate on the topic of just where the world's illegal money comes to roost. The answer: ultra-luxury real estate, primarily in New York, courtesy of a report in New York magazine that catches up with what we first said in the summer of 2012, and which is titled, appropriately enough: "Stash Pad."
Below are some excerpts:
Extreme wealth demands extremely elaborate wealth management, and anyone who has a few million in spare cash will probably already have an entrée to the cloistered world of private banking. An anonymous high-net-worth client of Credit Suisse, who spoke to U.S. Senate investigators after taking advantage of an amnesty for tax cheats, described the process by which he would manage his funds when visiting Zurich. A remote-controlled elevator would take him to a bare meeting room where he and his private banker would discuss his money; all printed account statements would be destroyed after the visit.
The theatrical secrecy is designed to build personal trust between such bankers and their clients, which is especially vital when the goal of the transactions is to conceal assets from the prying eyes of rivals, vengeful spouses, or tax collectors. Moving the money itself is a relatively simple matter: A wire or a suitcase can convey cash from China to Singapore, or from Russia to an EU member state like Latvia, and once the funds have made it to a "white list" country, they can usually move onward without triggering alarms. Concealing the true ownership of a property or a bank account is trickier. That's where the private bankers, wealth advisers, and lawyers earn their exorbitant fees.
Behind a New York City deed, there may be a Delaware LLC, which may be managed by a shell company in the British Virgin Islands, which may be owned by a trust in the Isle of Man, which may have a bank account in Liechtenstein managed by the private banker in Geneva. The true owner behind the structure might be known only to the banker. "It will be in some file, but not necessarily a computer file," says Markus Meinzer, a senior analyst at the nonprofit Tax Justice Network. "It could be a black book." If an investor wants to sell the property, he doesn't have to transfer the deed—an act that would create a public paper trail. He can just shift ownership of the holding company.
Recently, scrutiny from the United States has punctured some of the traditional secrecy of Swiss banks. But that has just pushed clients to boutique advisory firms, often run by the same personnel. "Banks like working with those firms," Meinzer says, "because they are then legally in the clear, without the risk of going to prison." As international blacklisting has pushed some offshore locales toward greater legal compliance, new havens have arisen. New Zealand trusts offer similar secrecy to those of the Caymans, without the stigma.
It's a sophisticated, well-oiled system that rarely requires crude subterfuge. Though U.S. authorities track all transfers over $10,000, a wire into a real-estate lawyer's escrow account should look perfectly routine. "A lot of times, I don't even know where my clients are from," says the lawyer Bruce Cohen. "But I know that certain countries are very careful about the money that leaves their country."
There is nothing illegal—at least from the destination nation's perspective—about sending money from an anonymous offshore bank account to purchase property in America. On the contrary, it's an everyday occurrence. That is precisely why experts say that property investment is a favored route for money laundering, a crime that depends on the outward appearance of legitimacy. The laundering process typically happens in stages: Illegal cash enters the world financial system somewhere and is funneled into a maze of accounts and shell companies, a process called "layering." Finally, at the other end, funds are integrated into a seemingly respectable investment—like a luxury condo.
Secretive corporate structuring is a key element in the process. Earlier this year, an international team led by Shima Baradaran, a law professor at the University of Utah, published an ingenious study of its mechanics. The academics sent emails to more than 7,000 firms around the world that offer incorporation services, posing as a variety of characters, like a politically connected Uzbek or a Lebanese representative of an Islamic charity. "We purposely made it as shady as possible," Baradaran says.
The experiment's results confounded conventional presumptions. It turned out that offshore locales like the Caymans were the most stringent about complying with international anti-money-laundering standards. It was easier to set up an untraceable shell company in the U.S. than in any country other than Kenya. The study found firms in business-friendly states like Delaware and Nevada were particularly "abysmal."
No federal authority, not even the IRS, keeps track of the actual "beneficial" owners behind LLCs, and the more lenient states don't even require much record-keeping by the firms that handle incorporation. Many of the service providers Baradaran's team approached asked for no identity documentation and were willing to set up LLCs in even the most suspicious scenarios. Most surprisingly, Baradaran found that the suggestion of foreign corruption actually increased the likelihood that a provider would agree to do business. "It's really a race to the bottom," Baradaran says.
Lawyers, brokers, and other service providers fall into a category that money-laundering experts refer to as "gatekeepers." An international organization formed to combat such financial crime has called for gatekeepers to be required to report suspicious activity, and some nations, like Great Britain, have placed disclosure requirements on attorneys. But no such regulation exists in the United States, and while financial institutions are tightly monitored under the 2001 USA Patriot Act, parties to property transactions have been given a specific exemption. "It's a big hole," says Louise I. Shelley, director of the Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center at George Mason University.
In 2010, Senator Carl Levin released the results of an investigation into the role of U.S. property in foreign corruption, highlighting cases like that of the son of the dictator of Equatorial Guinea, who bought a $30 million Malibu mansion. New York real estate often figures in such scandals. Ukrainian politician Yulia Tymoshenko has filed a civil lawsuit claiming a crony of the country's ousted president moved tainted money into New York development projects, while her opponents claim, in turn, that she laundered money through the city's real estate. In 2012, federal prosecutors seized a Trump Park Avenue apartment from the son of a Philippine general who had been convicted of taking bribes. A $1.6 million condo in the Onyx Chelsea, belonging to a former Taiwanese prime minister, was seized after it was tied to a corruption scandal.
Such cases are rare and laborious, however. "You have to prove the nexus between the corruption and the property itself," says Jaikumar Ramaswamy, chief of the Justice Department's Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering division. "Sometimes judges are skeptical: 'Why are we are going after some foreign guy who did something in a foreign country?' "
That's funny: because why is Obama and Eric Holder going after BNP, Barclays and HSBC for precisely the same reason? The answer is simple: America is desperate for New York to become the money-laundering capital of the New Normal: it desperately needs the offshore money to keep coming in, keeping prices as high as possible. In fact, this has already happened, and furthermore it has the full blessing of everyone in charge.
As for the bottom line:
The best—though still fuzzy—global estimates say as much as $1.5 trillion in criminal proceeds is laundered each year. The United Nations figures that as little as one-fifth of one percent of that is ever recovered. Levin has proposed legislation to extend the Patriot Act's regulations to real-estate closings and to require disclosure from LLCs, but the bill has gone nowhere. Real-estate attorneys say such rules would violate their legal privilege, and brokers insist the marketplace already provides an incentive to keep transactions clean. "No building wants to have people who have made illegal money," says Mark Reznik, a broker at A&I Broadway Realty, a firm that primarily serves Russian-speakers. Reznik says he provides a "prescreening" service for developers. "They want to have some kind of filter," he says. "Like somebody said, Karl Marx or whatever, if the capitalist is going to see a triple return, he's going to close his eyes. But we are trying not to deal with scumbags."
Karl Marx did not say that but all those Americans who make money legally and who are trying to buy a place in New York, or any other US city targeted by money laundering foreign oligarchs, and who say "I am priced out of the market by criminals allowed to bid up real estate to the moon", well... sorry, you are out of luck. Thank America's corruption which starts at the bottom and stretches to the very top.

NY makes offshore accounts look like kindergarten piggy banks..
Don't worry, I'm sure their new socialist mayor will get right on that...
Indeed. But, it was still a very interesting article.
H/T to the Tylers for running this one.
Maybe the takeaway lesson is once Americans get their money out of the USA OK, then it will find a nice welcome home there in the Big Apple.
A large proportion of commercial activity is the elaboration of old money turning itself over. Why do people think that things are changing? Just because your awareness of the world evolves, doesn't mean that the world is changing. You are just noticing the aroma.
I believe that the amount of money to be laundered would swamp the amount of viable real estate available and so first in is best dressed and sooner or later this game will stop working. But the truth is, I really don't know. Has anyone run those numbers? Is real-estate money laundering long-term sustainable?
Logged in just to upvote. Well said.
Another circular aspect of finance.....
i look forward to squatting a nice pad when shtf.
"We movin' on up, to the Eastside,
to a deeeluxe apartment in the skyyy!"
The Jeffersons have just been priced out of the market.
Gk crl -- you must have meant that the new mayor will get right "in" on that...
Cyrpus had a bunch of somewhat dubious, foreign money in their banks too, if I recall. Maybe that was a different country.
Apparently there is a method to the madness.
When it comes to protecting the status-hoe, America is truly exceptional...
You say "corruption" and I say "recovery".
"Only the little people pay taxes."
Thanks for the God send clarification, Leona.
Meanwhile, any little people wanting a mortgage have to produce a paper trail for every fucking dime that passes through their hands, so that the "lender" doesn't get beat up for going afoul of the Anti-Money Laundering Law.
Wait, you paid rent in cash!?!?!! You must be a criminal, so NO LOAN FOR YOU.
I'm going to assume that the sub-100k homes are in such bad shape that none of them qualify for "loans" from Uncle Sugar.
Next up, urban blight and its good friend eminent domain.
I find it amazing that people know very well that the uber rich are even paying $100+ million for penthouses, and often keep them empty.
Yet can not see what is really happening and realise they are being robbed in broad daylight.
The monetary and physical planes are severely out of place, most of these guys are just close to the printing press.
When people realise this imbalance, you will have your sh*t storm.
All fiat "money" is illegal in my books.
And um no there's "no inflation', uh-huh, condos and homes in London should be $150M uh-huh that's normal. Jim Grant is right, the definition of "inflation" should not be "too much money chasing too few goods and services"...it should just be "too much money".
That is not a very nice or ethical way of acting...
Quick, lets cancel some Obama cards cause those poor people are buying pop with them and dumping the liquid and using the cans to buy cigarettes. That will solve it....
Almost done.
Conversion back to Feudalism is within their grasp. They can see it, they can smell it, they can taste it. As it was, of course, intended to be all along.
Thank God this fiction of democracy, rule of law and equal protection is about to be snuffed out for good. What a DISASTER that whole experiment was. Good riddance. You can blame it on the US Constitution but I actually prefer to blame the Brits because they got that whole thing rolling with the Magna Carta. Well, at least we won't have to worry about that stuff any more. Almost done.
How much will Cuomo, NY AG Schneiderman and Holder charge for protection? Laundering isn't free.
NYC is a huge money laundering conduit, why is this surprising anyone?
Maybe instead of becoming first time home buyers, people should aspire to become first time money launderers by becoming, you know, criminals.
Crime may become, if not already, a booming "job" market.
Oh wait...
Financial crime is the latest FED inspired bubble
gives the Fed something to seize when the direction the wind blows changes.....
If your county is of the right size -- 500K to 1mil. residents -- and reasonbly wealthy, you can amuse yourself by checking online property records for all kinds shady dealing. Gradually you'll find that a handful of players are unnaturally connected to local and state lawmakers and all sorts of money and notes change hands without any discernible business purpose. Two fun tricks are selling property to pols at below market rates for a quick flip of $10K-$50K and mysterious promissory notes that cut in third parties for no obvious reason. I once found a law firm that regularly added a state house member to several deals a year, creating and destroying notes at a dizzying pace, the upshot being about a $50K annual float for the guy.
High end real estate in New York, London, LA and other western safge havens are on fire. Itäs a double win for the foreign rich or the foreign crooks. Not only do you get the real estate, you get it to live in should you need to bail out of your home country when social order or law enforcement become a problem. NY is really on fire! Nothing being built is too luxurious or expensive.
It is funny to watch these real estate shows and see how much money can be poured into an aprtment or house. Like an apartment in New York with 8 bathrooms and a swimming pool!
Meanwhile, if you or I "get caught" with $10,000.... well, say good bye to your cash.
Add in a good portion of real estate on the U.S. west coast.Canada has actually been the so-called money laundering capital of North America.It has been done by corrupt Government Officials designing and passing legislation to bring in vast numbers of immigrants based on how much money they must have along with what they must purchase and how long they must stay in order to get their pensions.The schemes were put in place to prop up Canadian Banks after Prime Minister Harper and his Conservative cronies bailed out the Banks in Toronto and took hundreds of billions of bad mortgages off of their books and dumped them on CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation)who is also acting as a public insurance provider.Funny that CMHC was originally intended only to provide loans for low income housing so that poor people could get their own place to live.Even the IMF has warned everyone about Canada's danger.One of Harper's own Cabinet Members even quit and went to work as a top member in CIBC.Harper is a National disgrace and a U.S. puppet stooge along with his former Justice Minister Vic Toews.Vic while in Office impregnated an 18 year old girl.This guy's in his 60's and was rewarded with a position on the Manitoba Bench as a Judge.His own family says he's a pervert.Shows the extent of corruption in Canada throughout the legal system and in Politics.You don't need any morals to be a Judge.Canada has seen a sharp increase in real estate prices mostly from corrupt Chinese Communist Members fleeing Red China on the graft clampdown.A lot of corrupt money also flows in from India and England too.
Cali, Florida and NYC .... Looters' Money Laundering Paradises!
The costs must be a bitch. Taxes, maintenance, service charges, repairs, utilities, hostesses... the list is endless
As long as this benefits the liberal socialists in New York City this will go on and on.
Through all the scandals, Lehman, sub-prime loans, bailouts, manipulation fraud abuse etc. Only 1 went to jail, Bernie. His crime was that he feasted on the elites in Manhattan. The rest was just par for the bankster course.
When you have the likes of scumbuckets such as Obama, Graham and Cheney saying that a bigger false flag than 911 is needed seems like those stash pads come with an associated risk factor.
The crime syndicate called the NAR needs to be disbanded. On top of aiding and abetting money launderers and wanting immunity from prosecution, they are a nationwide cartel of price fixers. Bring on RICO.
Oh, come on. I dislike NARLY as much as next guy but the expansion of black markets is a check on and a normal corollary to the expansion of tyranny. Expect to see much more. Screw the Levin gestapo and the horse they rode in on. What are people saying on this string? "Thank you sir may I please have another?" If a foreigner wants to buy my real estate I only want to know what color the money is. This is complicated. How in the hell am I going to really know where it came from anyway, or my frickin attorney for that matter? I'll put it to legal uses and pay taxes due. I think some panties need un-wading.
You are missing the extent of the scam. How do you KNOW your frickin' attorney is working for YOU?
Banks and law firms are part and parcel of the fix. Banksters everyone gets, but lawyers are looking to get paid too. Yeah, some are totally ignorant of the plays, ie, incompetent (which is its own set of costs) but no way that most lawyers miss a sideways deal when they see one.
More broadly, you always want a hungry and poor lawyer, ideally young and just out of law school, to do your real estate work. They have yet to be corrupted. Living in DC during the 00s run up, I had an employer-proved retained platinum law firm. Doing a relatively uncomplicated real estate deal with financing, I gave them the paper work. I knew there were great howling frickin errors -- tax credits and references to state-outlawed pre-payment penalties were a couple -- but I was curious. Nothing got flagged by this firm that did a TON of real estate work. It has to be much worse now.
Meanwhile, I cut a $200 check to girl about two years out of school and met with her in a mall food court. She red-flagged those issues and about 10 more. Closing was a hoot with a bunch of nervous laughs and "we'll fix thats" with a couple K kicking back to me from the "good faith" paperwork.
Best of all, I soon heard that the platinum law firm was not pleased I had gotten a 2nd opinion. (How did they know?) I waited awhile and invented a reason to interface with them (something about a fence on an easement IIRC) and after pleasantries of a couple minutes comes, "So, are you a cop of some kind?" I laughed and laughed.
I guess I don't know, for certain, that my attorney is working for me. I'm paying him. Beyond that I'm in the dark. Mortgage bankers and brokers around where I live are pretty paranoid. Fraud is always a short-term play. Sooner or later it catches up to them. Business just doesn't have to be done that way. Sad.

I think it's pretty good. The colors are a bit neon, but you could easily darken it up by adding a layer of black set to 'overlay'.
So I just thought I should post an image of my old map (done before coming to this guild). It was hand drawn and then scanned onto my computer and I used PS to add colour and text. Up until I saw some of the truly amazing pieces of art on this page I was happy with it. But now that I have learned a few tricks of the trade I am now reworking it.
Oh and I am aware I have a few river violations. I will be addressing that in my new draft.
Hmm the colour went a bit weird, its not usually so bright but you get the idea.

- Rangers Report - http://rangers.lohudblogs.com -
Could it be, Chi-town vs. Philly?
Posted By On May 19, 2010 @ 11:26 am In Uncategorized | 109 Comments
The way these playoffs have unfolded so far, we'd be foolish to put anybody in the next round based on two games, right?
And, as distasteful as it might be to see that piece of carcillo, plus Hartnell and the Flys' ninth-string goalie play for the Cup, and as much as we might even be rooting for San Jose, there would be something very cool about having the Blackhawks (and 20-Cent) in the final.
They've been there before, obviously, but they haven't won a Cup since 1961, the longest drought in the NHL. They were in the finals in '62, '65, '71 and '73 — all as the Black Hawks, before the name was changed to one word.
And they've been to one final since '73.
You know, of course, that the other finals appearance for the Blackhawks had some bearing on the Rangers' 1994 Stanley Cup, right?
Because that 1991-92 Blackhawks team was coached by Mike Keenan, who would get himself bounced out of Chicago soon after. While in Chicago, Keenan developed an affinity for certain players: Steve Larmer, Stephane Matteau, Greg Gilbert, Brian Noonan and Mike Hudson — all of whom would pied-piper him to New York for the Cup season.
Something else you might recall about that '92 year. That was Mark Messier's first season in New York, and Adam Graves' first. And the Rangers won the Presidents' Trophy (after a brief strike threatened the end of the season and the playoffs). And it was also the year of the second-round debacle against defending champion Pittsburgh, where Graves broke Mario Lemieux's hand (and was disgustingly reviled as a thug/hit man by ignorant fans and media members across the continent) and where Mike Richter let in the Ron Francis goal from center ice, etc., and where the skids began to be greased for Roger Neilson's firing in the middle of the next season.
Anyway, to get back to the 'Hawks … they won 11 straight playoff games before the final. But they ran into a healed Mario and Jaromir Jagr and Tom Barrasso and Francis (not to mention Kevin Stevens and Ulf Samuelsson), plus Scotty Bowman. After the Rangers had taken a 2-1 lead in that second-round series, the Pens reeled off 11 straight wins themselves, including a sweep of the 'Hawks in the final.
Today's trivia: Name Chicago's two goalies in the '92 final.

Associations Hodge 33, 29, 18, and 27 are unresolved individually but together form the most prominent spiral arm segment that was described already by Herschel as a "branch". Hodge 67 was, in essence, discovered by Bigourdan in late 19th century visually with a 12" refractor and catalogued as NGC 2404. I had seen these features previously with my 12" SCT along with the stellar-looking Hodge 41 (http://ivm-deep-sky....1/ngc-2403.html).
Associations 45 and 36 are compact and round and probably dominate visually without a filter the objects identified in Steve Gottlieb's article as HII regions VS 38 and VS 24. Similarly, associations 14 and 81 coincide with VS 3 and VS 52.
Association 59 contains the small bright knot on the edge of a star cloud that involves also Hodge 48 on the other end. As such, these two and a couple of fainter associations in that cloud or arm segment remained unresolved.
Along with the already mentioned 41, associations 49, 62, and 23 looked starlike. The last one, I believe, is mentioned as a "star" next to VS 3 in the S&T article. The other star in the pair pointing at VS 3 is indeed a Milky Way star. The foreground stars are labeled on my sketch with "*".
The peripheral associations 22, 24, 80, and 73 lay outside the visible body of the galaxy and had considerable visual extent and irregular shapes. The spiral structure in this galaxy is very loose, but these peripheral associations do seem to trace a certain spiral arrangement of luminous matter.
The galaxy is in the M81 group and about 8 Mly away. This may be the most detailed view I have had to date of a galaxy beyond the Local Group as far as the number of individually identified objects - or it is a tie with M101.

May 30, 2016
Outstanding students at Northwest Middle School were recognized Thursday for their academic achievement.
A Five Star Luncheon was held for 33 students who excelled in several ways this past nine weeks.
Their teachers say these students demonstrated responsibility and trustworthiness.
The top students made the A Honor Roll, had no office referrals, and no unexcused absences.
"For students to be leaders in their community, they need to be able to follow through with things that they start, have self-discipline when it comes to their grades and respecting adults and be able to set goals and meet those goals," said lead teacher, Marsha Ramia.
Mayor Cheri Berry was the special guest for the luncheon.

Former San Diego officials settle with SEC
Judge still needs to OK agreement that would end an investigation started in 2004
January: City Auditor Ed Ryan announces resignation. Twelve days later, San Diego city officials disclose numerous errors and omissions in financial documents used to sell municipal bonds. Many of the discrepancies involved the underfunded pension system.
February: The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the city's financial practices and pension system.
April: City Manager Michael Uberuaga resigns two months after city's credit ratings fall and as federal authorities continue investigation of city finances.
September: Law firm hired to represent city in talks with the SEC finds widespread accounting irregularities but no wrongdoing.
April: Mayor Dick Murphy announces his resignation amid ongoing investigations of the city's financial practices by the SEC, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the county District Attorney's Office.
May: Terri Webster, the city's acting auditor, is placed on administrative leave for failing to turn over documents that federal investigators subpoenaed. Former Deputy City Manager Patricia Frazier and former Treasurer Mary Vattimo resign.
August: Kroll, a risk-management firm the city paid $20 million for an examination of its financial management systems, releases its report. It finds numerous city officials broke laws meant to ensure accurate bond disclosures.
November: The SEC rules the city defrauded investors in 2002 and 2003 by not disclosing a massive pension deficit. The commission laid the blame on unnamed officials still under SEC investigation. The city agreed to not engage in such fraud again and hired an independent consultant to ensure compliance.
April: The SEC files civil fraud charges against Uberuaga, Ryan, Frazier, Vattimo and Webster for allegedly giving false statements in city bond offerings.
December: The SEC sends letters to past and present elected officials, including Murphy, that they are no longer under investigation and won't face charges.
October: Uberuaga, Ryan, Frazier and Vattimo reach a settlement with the SEC over fraud allegations for not disclosing in municipal bond offerings the extent of the city's pension and retiree health care debts. Webster continues to negotiate with the SEC.
San Diego Four former high-ranking San Diego city officials have reached an agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to settle allegations that they misled investors about the city's pension and retiree health debts in municipal bond sales.
The agreement, which U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw still must approve, would close most of what was a groundbreaking case brought by the agency in April 2008. It was the first time that the SEC sought civil penalties against individual public officials in a municipal bond offering case, but reaction Tuesday to the end of the litigation and what it may have accomplished was mixed.
The settlement covers four ex-employees — City Manager Michael Uberuaga, Auditor Ed Ryan, Deputy City Manager of Finance Patricia Frazier and Treasurer Mary Vattimo.
They do not admit to the wrongdoing outlined in the allegations but agree to resolve the case by saying they misled investors, a violation of securities law. Legal experts said that section of the law can mean their actions were negligent and that they did not intentionally embark on a scheme to defraud, as the SEC initially alleged.
Uberuaga, Ryan and Frazier each agreed to pay $25,000 civil penalties, and Vattimo a $5,000 penalty. The agreement stipulates that the penalty can't be paid with insurance, reimbursement or indemnification — meaning the money will come from their own pockets.
Notice of the proposed settlement was filed on Friday and is awaiting Sabraw's approval. Lawyers for the defendants declined to comment because the case is pending.
A lawyer for the SEC also declined to comment because the case is ongoing.

Doujinshi in Japan & Madoka Translationon November 30th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
So I started doing some doujinshi translation to help my Japanese out a bit. Needless to say it's been a tiresome effort. Though it got me thinking – the acceptance (specifically, sale and distribution) of doujinshi in today's day and age is a mystical thing. However, if you know anything about Japanese culture (and you can easily learn what I'm referring to by checking out my last couple of posts), it's actually not all that surprising that Japan allows it. In fact, the whole concept is really simple.
Copyright laws are totally different out in Japan. Unlike the SOPA act currently undergoing discussion in American congress, it isn't even a question out in Japan. I'm not talking about anything of Saber-Figure-In-China-quality here, but I regularly see pixelated pictures on wall scrolls, rip offs of common generic drink brands with similar colors and designs to the original (so much you wouldn't notice the difference if you weren't paying attention), and plenty of copycat stuff that would violate a million and a half laws on the shelves in America.
But in Japan it doesn't really adversely affect the original content producer's sales. Why? Well, for one, official merchandise is always worth more. The company is probably going to make a really nice dakimakura and sell it for more than your local Taiwanese rip-off. Brand names like Good Smile or Alter are always going to sell more figures. Some people will be satisfied with clay ripoff xxx, but most won't. And if the ripoff is of a quality better than the original, it probably won't be produced in mass if you can buy the official one for cheaper! Sure, you can get that custom figure or dakimakura, and some people will, but a few sales in that are a small exception that aren't going to ruin the official company.
Infact, things like doujinshi and fan works are all free advertisement for them. If people are busy consuming 500 yen doujins every other week reading what they like about your characters, when you come out with that 1500 character/drama CD people are going to eat it up. Don't want them to just download it? Throw in a lyrics booklet, a little figurine extra you can get if you buy the CD, and a little thank you poster with your characters in a nice cardboard box. Now they'll buy it, because they have the official materials that say they supported that character. They love that character because of all the doujins that proliferated said love to date. And now, they have new source material to make more doujins with. If handled properly, fan works will often help your sales.
And of course, I went over half a dozen times this weekend how the culture is a read-the-textbook copy-answers-onto-test learning culture. In this sort of culture, plagiarism isn't viewed as negatively as they teach us in American school our entire lives. They don't want original content, they don't want a research paper, they just want you to point exactly to where the research you found is. It's hard to say in a culture that protects freedom of thought and artwork so much that a doujinshi should be illegal. They go sing karaoke for fun because I want to do what the singers are doing (and they are celebrating the similarity between them and the singer). They read doujinshi because they want to see what the original characters they know are likely to do. They copy textbook answers because they know they are correct. It's just something fundamental about the culture that they grow to like, and are a universe away from making that illegal.
In fact, it shouldn't be a surprise to you that the copy machine industry is one of the leading domestic industries in Japan. But I hope that didn't surprise you.
But my point (at least in this article) isn't the collective mindset of the culture or their system of learning (we'll save that for later). It's that the industry can clearly support itself and actually use fan art and doujinshi to it's advantage. So how about some of that cross-cultural exchange and stop bitching some guy made 2.00$ off making a comic about your characters, or remixing your song. Why don't you remix your song, or sell something they can remix more and more. How about using some of that innovation that the west is supposed to be good at and not get shown up by Asian societies (specifically China) when it comes to the economy. A government is an institution of the people. It's specifically in place to make things better for all people, and protect the people. Companies should quit crying to the government that the guy who put up a karaoke of ABC record company's songs and pay-pal donate button caused them to "lose" money. That's bullshit. That money wasn't yours, you don't have a right to it, and who says that the person listening to it was going to buy your CD with that money anyway. Believe it or not, taking that away won't increase your sales (especially in the way they want to with SOPA, it will definitely wind up hurting them.)
Use the way people want to handle their money to your advantage, don't blame any sort of doujinshi (fan) work for your problems. American companies should be putting those fans on a pedestal (because they're likely the ones that actually bought your CDs) instead of throwing them in jail. It's because they're slamming their own fans with 500,000 fines that they're losing sales, not because that guy made a karaoke that people liked better than the original and got 400$ of donations for it that you think is somehow money that belongs to you.
How about some of that inter-cultural exchange guys? Can we go back to being an economic giant and supporting what people want to spend their money on, or should we just let Japan and China keep raping the ever living shit out of us?
Sheesh. Did I mention I like how life actually seems real out here in Japan, and people aren't bitching or trying to prevent every little seemingly-illegitimate thing from existence. Maybe we need more low quality shit in America to help raise consumer awareness and intelligence in America. We all know that baby-boomer age group entering their 50s and 60s (aka, the people with all the power and money), could stand to make some better purchasing decisions. Though I'm sure anyone reading this article already knows that.
Completely unrelated: So should I leave in translator notes or not? I was thinking of scanning everything in once I'm done with this one. I mean, the Raw is already ruined because I'm writing on them, but would anyone like to see my translations uploaded anyway? Maybe I should make it a point to write the English neater?

When it comes to knowledge and talent combined, no Filipino can compare to our national hero Jose Rizal. He was the ultimate Renaissance man, with expertise in a variety of fields – science, agriculture, literature, the arts, linguistics, and even martial arts.
It may not be well-known to many but apart from being a gifted scholar, artist, and fighter, Rizal was also a very practical man who knew the value of money and was smart in handling it.
In fact, when a ticket he bought with two friends won the lottery in 1892, Rizal did not spend his share of the prize money like a "one day millionaire." Instead, he made an investment.
According to the website www.dapitan.com, after giving part of his winnings to his father and a friend, Rizal used the money to buy a property near Dapitan, where he was exiled.
On this land, he built a school and a hospital, where he taught children and treated the poor for free. His income came from patients who came from all points of the country and who were more than willing to pay to be treated by him. Based on other accounts, he also had an abaca business and a store there.
Apart from investing money and taking part in trade, Rizal also knew how to save. In the 1913 book "Lineage, Life, and Labors of Jose Rizal," historian Austin Craig said Rizal saved over 5,000 pesos in just seven months. If you are wondering how much that is, think about this: From his earnings in the hospital alone, Rizal was able to buy diamonds as a secure way of carrying funds.
His knack in money matters did not come from nowhere. We can probably attribute this to Rizal's upbringing and to his experiences as a student in Europe.
Although he was the youngest child born into the wealthy Mercado family, Rizal did not grow up spoiled. Craig said Rizal's maternal uncle Gregorio made sure he earned his "candy money" and that he valued rapidity in work.
In Europe, these lessons were useful in guiding him away from many temptations. Contrary to stories that depicted Rizal as a drinker or womanizer, Craig said Rizal actually spent much of his time and money on books, mostly secondhand.
Historian Ambeth Ocampo also told of the hero's frugality in his book "Rizal Without the Overcoat." He said that in one party, Rizal even asked his friends to chip in for the champagne he brought, saying he just paid in advance for everyone.
Sadly, despite being disciplined in his spending, Rizal still experienced being in debt. There was a time his family could not send him allowance and he had to rely on friends to pay for matriculation. Still, even if he was struggling and starving, the young Rizal never lost focus in returning the money he borrowed.
Rizal's attitude towards money can also be seen in his works. In his novels "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo," Rizal hit the extravagant lifestyles of the clergy, government officials, and even fellow Filipinos.
For him, money symbolized hard work and should be used for productive things. In his piece "Hymn to Labor," he even said "Go to the field to till the land, For the labour of man sustains Fam'ly, home and Motherland."
It may take one more lifetime or two to find another person with the same genius as Jose Rizal. However, even if we cannot match his intellectual and artistic gifts, we can still emulate him in his approach to work and money.
That would be a fitting gift for him when the nation observers his 152nd birth anniversary this June 19.

Mick Fleetwood
Genres: Blues, Pop, Rock
Born Michael John Kells Fleetwood in Redruth, England on June 24, 1947, he was the youngest of three children by Royal Air Force Wing Commander Michael Fleetwood and his wife, Brigid. An older sister, Susan, later enjoyed a successful career as a stage and television actress in England. Due to his father's military commitments, Fleetwood spent portions of his childhood in Egypt and Norway before returning to England. There, he struggled with school, due in part to his difficulty with retaining facts to memory. He found solace in the drums, which his father purchased for him when he was 13. Fleetwood soon taught himself the instrument by playing along to pop records of the day. At 15, he deci... Continue Bio >>
