This white-colored top perfectly fits the original 10 x 20 ft. frame you already have and looks just like the top that came with your initial purchase. There is a slight overhang included in the design, and the drawstring attached to the cover ensures a snug, secure fit. This top is ideal for people who have experience damage to their original top, whose top has gotten worn or frayed over time, or who just want to keep a replacement on hand to prevent any down-time should an accident occur.
There's really no good time to replace a canopy top. Many King Canopy owners, though, take a little comfort in knowing that the option to replace is available if they need it. Wear and tear, major damage, or just a shelter in need of a facelift are no match for the rejuvenating capabilities of this King Canopy 12 x 20 White Drawstring Cover.

I'm ordering my third cover. The frame has held up ok, but the "canvas" tops only last about 2 years before they start to dry, crack, and get torn apart by wind. I'm in West Los Angles, 3 miles from the ocean and it rarely gets over 80 degrees F. Don't know why these don't last longer.

First of, thanks, Tom. Although I've been very careful on this kind of things, looks like I missed one index on a referencing column. Still, I don't allow an entire delete of a table if it has referencing columns with values, so at the moment of the deletion, it has no rows at all. I checked datatype mismatches, and there are none. All my FKs are integers, like the referenced column of the referenced table. I was thinking on dropping the indexes before doing the deletes, but Joshua suggested using TRUNCATE instead. Thanks.

In my last post I sort of mused about the problem of criminalizing technologies in schools (and viewing them, rightfully, as an opportunity to disengage as well as engage). The problem I have with some of the standard views I've seen in schools is that they decide that because something could be used for ill (a kid could, potentially, use a laptop in class to look at a social networking site or something) that they need to block the possibility entirely. Grade schools and high schools are not alone in this unfortunate action. My graduate work at a state university decided to universally block all torrents or other P2P (peer to peer) protocols (defined as liberally as they chose — and frequently far too liberally) because these "could" be used for illegal downloading/exchange of copyrighted materials. There's a problem with this logic though: that the risk of allowing these protocols far exceeds the benefits of allowing them. The benefits are great indeed. Those technologies can quickly disseminate and exchange information over the world. Isn't that what universities do?
At any rate, there is no doubt that things are changing. My son started life listening to music and now he likes watching it via any of the various video sites that stream music videos of children's music. He points to the ones he wants. He knows them by their thumbnail images and a relevant line in the particular song he wishes to hear. This is his experience of music: on demand, image based, all the time, on any computer screen (not just one). I'm old enough to remember this not existing. The music came from a single, physical, identifiable source. It wasn't easily transferable and certainly wasn't image based. And all of this is ultimately (in aggregate) beneficial. So is technology in the classroom. Shutting off the internet shuts off learning. Let's learn more.

wo men, arty though somewhat staid, are drawn to the spirited and quixotic Rosemonde, a young working-class woman whom they meet because they're writing a teleplay about a minor but curious event in which either her uncle was wounded while cleaning his rifle or she shot him. Pierre is a free-lance journalist hired to write the script; he's short of time so he asks a Bohemian poet friend, Paul, to help. Pierre wants facts and tracks down Rosemonde for interviews that lead to other explorations; Paul only wants to imagine her and needs little more than her name to do so. But he does meet her, and she entangles him, too. Did she cause the shooting? Is she venomous or innocent?Resumen IMDb.com

9-11 TRIALS/ Between national security and human rights
Khalid Sheik Mohammed was tortured 183 times with waterboarding. The terrorist who proclaimed himself the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks appeared before the Tribunal at Guantanamo for what has been called the "trial of the century". Along with him are four other defendants held responsible for terrorism, massacres and murder in violation of the laws of war. George W. Bush publicly justified the methods of torture, saying it was needed to save thousands of lives. After him, Obama changed the rules requiring that statements obtained through waterboarding not be used during the trial. Ilsussidiario.net interviewed Jimmy Gurule, an expert in criminal law from Notre Dame University and a former undersecretary of the Bush administration, where he worked to trace the assets that finance terrorists.
How can the government balance protecting the American people from terrorists and upholding human rights in the September 11 trials?
It is a very controversial issue both in the United States and internationally. I think that there have been some substantial improvements in the Military Commission and its procedures that were enacted in 2009 compared with the original Military Commission that was established by President Bush. Despite those enhanced procedures, there are still some concerns about whether the procedures afford the defendants full due process protections, specifically, there are some concerns about the admissibility of hearsay evidence, a more relaxed standard for the admission of hearsay evidence that is permitted under the Military Commission than what is required in civil criminal courts. One of the other major concerns is the question of the admissibility, or disclosure of evidence that implicates national security concerns.
What can the military court do in those circumstances?
There are some procedures in place where, if the government prosecutor maintains that the disclosure of certain evidence would threaten U.S. national security, then the judge has the authority to attempt to sanitize the evidence by permitting a summary of the evidence or permitting substitute statements, or certain statements deleted from the documents that threaten security. The problem is that the defendant, or the defense attorney, is not permitted to see those statements. The proceeding is an ex-parte proceeding, where just the judge and the prosecutor would participate, therefore the defendant is not in a position to adequately challenge the government's claim that the evidence is central to national security. Thus, I think that the process has come a long way in terms of balancing national security and civil liberties, but I still think there are some sensitive issues that remain to be resolved. On these issues, I think we are going to have to wait and see how the procedures evolve during the trial.
Would a civil court be better than a military one?

In our research, we ask how cells maintain their proteins in a functional and balanced state. In human cells, this is accomplished by a network of over 1,000 different factors called the proteostasis network. Our goal is to understand how this network functions, and how it is challenged and rewired in disease states, in particular cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Our functional genomics technology, which integrates CRISPR/Cas9-based control of gene function and large-scale genetic interaction maps, enables us to elucidate dynamic networks and to pinpoint nodes that are potential therapeutic targets. We use biochemistry, biophysics and cell biology to "zoom in" on individual nodes of the network and to reveal their mechanism of action.

We are recruiting highly motivated students, postdocs, staff scientists and research assistants, ideally with experience in bioinformatics or computational analysis of complex datasets. Please contact us for more information.

While going through our Twitter feed the guys over at X-Men Films brought up something very interesting about the recent Vietnam photo released with Lucas Till and Jennifer Lawrence.
In the background is an African American soldier. When you zoom up it seems he has different colored eyes as well as 'spikes' coming out his head. Could this be Spyke from X-Men: Evolution ?!
Of course this is ALL speculation until it is officially released.

Guthrie, K.C. top Twins
MINNEAPOLIS (TSX) — When the weather gets tough, the Kansas City Royals have Jeremy Guthrie. At least that's how it always seems.
Guthrie (9-10) weathered a pair of rain delays, pitching seven innings as the Royals piled up a season high in runs in a 12-6 win against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday at Target Field.
"Every time we have these days, it seems like he's on the mound," said Royals manager Ned Yost. "Just being able to maneuver through that, made it a great day for us."
After expected rain delayed the start of the game nearly 40 minutes, Kansas City's bats provided the thunder in the second inning. Playing in a steady rain, the Royals turned five hits, two walks and a hit batter into seven runs, providing Guthrie with all the offensive support he would need.
"That second inning, I don't know if it was the elements, but we had the swing in it," Royals first baseman Billy Butler said. "We were making (Twins pitcher Tommy Milone) work, not leaving the strike zone. He was trying to get us to chase some stuff and then coming to us when we were squaring it up."
Butler started the inning with a single and drove in a run with another single later in the inning. In between, shortstop Alcides Escobar and right fielder Nori Aoki each had two-run singles, and second baseman Omar Infante's sharp liner bounced off the mound and under the glove of Twins second baseman Brian Dozier, allowing two more runs to score.Milone, making his first home start as a Twin, took the loss, allowing all seven runs (six earned) on four hits and two walks over 1 1/3 innings, seeing his season ERA jump from 3.52 to 3.99 in the process. Of his 80 career starts in the majors, Sunday's outing was the shortest.
"Awful," Milone said. "Couldn't get a good feel. I tried not to walk guys so I was leaving the ball over the plate. It seemed like every time I got a new ball, it was immediately soaked. One of those (outings) where you just need to forget about it."
After a 54-minute rain delay in the fourth inning, Royals left fielder Alex Gordon added a two-run homer in the fifth inning to give Kansas City a 9-2 lead.
Guthrie allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven to record his ninth win.
More importantly, Guthrie gobbled up key innings in the middle of the game following the delay, while the Twins were forced to empty the bullpen.
"It was huge for us. This was a day we didn't need rain," Yost said.
"The weather was not conducive to pitching, I know that," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "It was pretty much a mess out there."
Catcher Salvador Perez had a solo homer for the Royals and designated hitter Josh Willingham, a former Twin, added an RBI double and a late solo home run, his first in a Kansas City uniform.
Minnesota got a solo home run from first baseman Joe Mauer and two-run homers by designated Kennys Vargas and right fielder Oswaldo Arcia. Vargas also had an RBI single in the first that gave the Twins a brief 1-0 lead.
NOTES: Twins 1B Joe Mauer homered in the third inning Sunday, his second since coming off the disabled list on Monday. Mauer had only two homers in his previous 303 at-bats this season before going on the DL July 2. ... Twins LHP Tommy Milone lasted only 1 1/3 innings, the shortest start of his career. Sunday's game marked his 80th career start in the big leagues. ... Royals RHP Jeremy Guthrie lasted seven innings for only the third time in his last 12 starts dating back to June 13. He had seven such starts over his first 13 games this season. ... Royals DH Josh Willingham hit a solo home run in the ninth inning, his 13th of the season and first as a Royal. He was traded to Kansas City by Minnesota on Monday

Diseases associated with chronic hypoxemia like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or emphysema, represent major medical and socio-economical problems and one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western countries. Recently, is has been shown that cardiovascular (CV) diseases contribute highly to the morbidity and mortality of these patients. Furthermore, increasing evidence suggest that systemic vascular dysfunction play a central role in the mediation of the increased CV risk in patients with COPD. However the underlying mechanisms of vascular dysfunction in these patients are incompletely understood. Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is characterized by chronic hypoxemia related at least in part to hypoventilation; it affects relatively young adults, and may therefore allow to study the effects of chronic hypoxemia. The investigators therefore will assess systemic vascular function and test the hypothesis that increased oxidative stress is responsible for this dysfunction. Since polyglobulia is a hallmark of chronic hypoxemia and has been suggested to affect vascular function, the investigators will test the effects of hemodilution on vascular function. Then, the investigators will test the effects of acute oxygen application and 1 month antioxidative dietary supplement on vascular function.
Preliminary data suggest that offspring of CMS patients may display pulmonary and systemic vascular dysfunction. Antioxidant administration is know to improve vascular function. We will test the acute effect of Vitamin C in this setting.
Finally, since there is considerable inter-individual variability of pulmonary artery pressure among CMS patients and the presence of a patent foramen ovale (PFO)is increased in clinical conditions associated with pulmonary hypertension and hypoxemia, we will assess the prevalence of PFO in healthy high altitude dwellers and in CMS patients and its effects on pulmonary artery pressure at rest and during mild exercise.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The father of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit met with the Shas Party's spiritual leader.
Noam Shalit, as well as grandfather Zvi Shalit, met Monday in Jerusalem with Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. The Shalit family requested the meeting, according to reports.
Yosef, who blessed the Shalit family at the beginning of the meeting, invited Gilad Shalit to visit him at his home when he is released.
Shas chairman Eli Yishai, who attended the meeting, said the current election period is "a window of opportunities" to secure the soldier's release.
The Shalits plan to meet with many public figures during the election campaign in an effort to remind the public about their son's plight.

You can few an updated November 2014 version of this post at this link.
I still have memories of the 2009 and 2011 fall seasons which were not exactly up to my standards of fall at the beach. Admittedly I have some high expectations of beach weather, but the weather on the Southern Outer Banks of North Carolina usually delivers.
Having some lingering warmth in the fall is to be expected along the Carolina coast near Bogue Sound, but it usually isn't this consistent.

Don't pinch, the weather might change
You can few an updated November 2014 version of this post at this link.
The sand came back
It took less than a month, but the sand that I reported lost in the post, "A Bite Out of Third St. Beach," seems to have been replaced by waves that are likely cousins to ones who took it away.
My wife and I went for a walk up at Third Street on Wednesday November 9 and discovered that plenty of sand has returned to the beach. I am pretty sure that there is now more sand on the beach than I saw at any time during the summer of 2011.
Never knowing what you will find is one of the neat things about walking on a beach. It is rarely the same place twice. The beach can even change as you are walking on it.
Lots of times, as the sun starts going down, the light on the beach will change. What looked like a perfectly normal beach just a few minutes earlier will turn into a very different spot.

Getting a lot like Fall
As October disappears into memory, our weather forecast has been trying to drag us out of some really pleasant late season warmth. We are even seeing about as much color in the leaves as ever reaches the NC coast.
My most recent trip to the beach on Emerald Isle was just like a late summer trip. The temperature was almost 80F as I walked around the Point and observed the most recent changes to the beach.
Most of our threats of rain in late October have gone largely unrealized. We received no rain the last weekend of October while much of the east coast was being soaked or covered in up to thirty inches of snow. However, we did get cold enough for a small patch of very light frost to show up on the high spot in our front yard.

A Bite Out of Third St. Beach
I tend to watch my favorite beaches pretty carefully, and on October 14, my wife and I went up to Third St. Beach on Emerald Isle for one of our regular visits. We were really surprised by the changes in the beach.
While I have seen a lot of sand movement this fall, what happened at Third St. is the most dramatic that I seen especially considering it happened quickly, and during a time when there were no named storms around.
Perhaps just catching this change makes me guilty as charged when it comes to being on the beach a lot.
A couple of days ago a friend suggested that my activities were beginning to look a lot like those of a beach bum. I took it as a compliment. Actually in a very quiet real estate market, walking the beach is good research.
I have another strong defense. Taking a hike on the beach is also good exercise and a great way to get a little fishing in during the fall. read more »
Weather that should be bottled
There are reasons that fall is my favorite time here on the Southern Outer Banks. The weather is hard to ignore as a key part of the equation that makes things so nice as the seasons turn. Fishing, fewer crowds, and festivals also play a big part in making fall special.
The wonderful weather we experienced last fall is still a pleasant memory, but fall of 2011 is working hard to make it fade. We missed the first Episcopal Lobster Festival, but we already have tickets for the Lobster Festival at Saint Francis by the Sea in Salter Path on October 15. Once we have eaten our lobsters there this year, it will mark five years in a row we have managed to enjoy fresh Maine lobsters here on the coast in the fall.

Finally hope of clearing weather
Finally we might see clear skies after what seems like a month of dampness. The week of September 19, my rain gauge recorded 6.2 inches of rain.
After a front passes through Friday evening, September 30, it looks like we might start to dry out.
With all the precipitation, at least I didn't have to water the new sod that I placed around the flagstones leading to our dock. I think it is already growing.
Weather is always something that we want to change. This summer until Irene, we could not buy a drop of rain. Now in the last sixty days we have seen between fifteen and twenty inches of precipitation here along the banks of the White Oak. read more »
Damp Afternoon at the Dock
What a strange year of weather. First we have an exceedingly cold winter that challenges all of our spirits. Spring turns out to be very nice and one to remember.
Then summer starts early and the rain just stops. We went almost six weeks without any rain. Then it got even drier. We only got one inch of rain during July. The area field corn crops were a disaster.
August was almost as dry as June and July until Hurricane Irene came along to break the drought. We got somewhere between ten and fifteen inches of rain from Irene. It was hard to measure since most of it was horizontal. Irene came on Saturday, August 27.

I'll be visiting Vermont soon, and I would like, this time, to maybe visit a couple of cheese makers. Is it something worth doing? I already have the Cheese Trail Map, but I'm looking for more specific recommendations: what places are worth visiting (if any)?
I should be gravitating around Burlington and Stowe, driving up north, so recommendations around this area would be greatly appreciated. (I tried searching past postings, but could not find a lot - particularly, nothing after 2009 or so.)

remove the plastic fender pieces?
im curious to see how my jeep would look without the plastic fenders over the wheels, but before i do that i want to know what the law in oregon is as far as how far the tires can stick out of the body.. so if anybody knows please let me know.
I still have stock tj flares my yj, they cover about half my tire. I've never been pulled over for it, I live in Portland. I've also seen a few yj's running with no flares. If I remember right, all the tire needs to be covered but I could be wrong.
Your best off with google on that one. Each states laws are different. I know with NC and FL you can all but have an AR attached to it and they pass. If you're wondering what it will look like, it will be similar to this.
Its a law that isn't enforced really here in Ontario, Canada. Everybody with modded Jeeps have their tires sticking out and its completely ignored. Removing the fenders all together may be pushing it though.
I been runnin this way for a few months now, the tires stick out about 8 inches because my wheels are so offset, but then again.. I live in Bandon.. No complaints so far!!
Think twice about removing. I took mine off, filled in hole when I painted it. First ride in slush I was putting them back on. Face full off road slush wasn't fun.
http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/DMV/docs/vcb/vcb815.pdf around page 330-332. Dont judge me...... i was bored.
*how heavily its enforced is up to you to find out :D
I took mine off and liked it (except for the holes), but I rode through a bunch of mud and stinky water... covered EVERYTHING@!!!! I now have a carpetless jeep.
If you remove them, consider at least picking up something like the Bushwackers or Xenons urethane(sp?) flares.
Remember, 3 inches can make a difference.
Remove them only if you plan on replacing. Which is what I did. Pulled them to put smittybilt tubes in the rear, and TJ flares in the front, but have since decided to go for tubes on the front as well. After Christmas. That's the only reason I have none up front still.
Oh and pulling them off sucks.
I too have the smittys on the rear, looking at them for the front eventually. I also got the smitty sliders with a step that bolt to the frame as well.... FYI, if you dont have the corner guards you will have to trim about 2" off the end of the sliders to fit with the rear flares.
I trimmed my stock fenders personally and I love them. Didn't cost anything, gave some room and looks better IMO. Almost like you just have yourself an inch of a lift.

The Morning Ledger: Companies Feast on Long-Term Debt
The Morning Ledger cues up the most important news in corporate finance every weekday morning. Send us tips, suggestions and complaints: firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com.
The bond market boom shows no signs of slowing down and companies are reaping the rewards by issuing more long-term bonds. There's a sense that now is as good a time as any to raise debt that won't mature for many years, particularly as the near-term economic outlook dims, writes CFOJ's Vipal Monga on B1 today. Investment-grade companies have sold more 30-year bonds in the U.S. so far in 2012 than in any full year since at least 1995. "No treasurer or CFO wants to be the one treasurer or CFO who didn't get cheap long-term money when it was available," says Mark Gray, an analyst with Moody's Investors Service.
Late last monthComcast sold $1 billion of 30-year bonds for its NBCUniversal subsidiary, with a 4.45% rate, compared with rates ranging between 6.5% and 7% for 30-year bonds the cable company sold in past years. That difference represents an annual interest-payment savings of about $20 million on $1 billion of debt.
Even companies that haven't issued long-dated bonds for years are jumping inGeneral Electric sold $7 billion of bonds on Oct. 1, including $2 billion of 30-year bonds. GE's finance arm is a frequent issuer, but this offering was the first by the parent in five years.
Alcoa kicks off earnings season after markets close and results are expected to be pretty dismal. As the WSJ notes, making metal from raw materials has been unprofitable since the financial crisis because of rising costs, overproduction — mainly in China — and sluggish demand, particularly in Europe. One possible bright spot is that the company has boosted sales of high-tech alloyed aluminum and specialty pieces like screws and bolts for cars and airplanes, making its engineered-products-and-solutions unit its most profitable segment. And tougher energy regulations should mean more demand for aluminum from car makers.
MeanwhileYum Brands is expected to post a healthy profit rise and Ahead of the Tape's Spencer Jakab says its results could hold clues about China's economic well-being. He explains that Chinese appetites for KFC and Pizza Hut are an indicator of consumer demand for an affordable luxury for a rising middle class. So if Yum's sales and margins look solid, that could ease some fears about the Chinese economy.
And in Europe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel will face thousands of protesters as she arrives in Athens to meet with Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. No big agreements are expected, but Merkel will likely reaffirm Greece's place inside the euro zone and express sympathy for the sacrifices made by Greeks in the austerity push, the WSJ says.
Markets flash: Asia ended mixed, but Shanghai got a boost after China's central bank injected funds into the money market. European shares are lower on the IMF's dire warnings about the global economy (more on that below). And DJIA futures are down 0.2%.
Conflict minerals rule puts pressure on smelters. Out of the about 200 to 400 smelters and refiners that supply companies world-wide with the four metals covered by the SEC's new conflict minerals rule, just 27 have been audited and designated as conflict free, Emily Chasan writes in today's Marketplace section. Though the first reports to regulators aren't due until May 31, 2014, companies are scrambling to make sure their products are conflict free by tracking their supply chains back to smelters, the factories that extract metals from ore.
Investors weigh concerns for next proxy season. Large investors are set to continue to focus on how executive compensation relates to company performance next proxy season. They'll also likely demand more details on corporate lobbying activities and standardized information about executive take-home pay, according to the latest poll of institutional investors by ISS. Half of investors said they would examine realized and realizable executive pay measures when considering how compensation is linked to performance, Emily Chasan reports.
Twitter CFO aims to avoid Facebook's IPO fate. As Twitter's new finance chief, Ali Rowghani has assumed a broader range of responsibilities than the typical number-crunching CFO, holding sway over partnerships and global expansion, according to Bloomberg. He's also one of the closest advisers to CEO Dick Costolo, and will figure more prominently as the company heads toward an eventual IPO. Twitter will probably be the biggest consumer-Web company to make a market debut since Facebook, but Rowghani has to learn from David Ebersman's mistakes. He'll need to set Twitter's price high enough to secure the funding it needs without giving it a loftier valuation than it deserves.
Huawei pushes back against U.S. allegations. Huawei is fighting back against allegations that it's a threat to U.S. national security, calling a House intelligence committee report "little more than an exercise in China-bashing." A Huawei spokesman said the intelligence committee report lacked evidence of illegal activity or threats to U.S. security. But in new accusations, the chairman of the House intelligence committee said the panel has received "numerous" reports of Huawei equipment engaged in suspicious activities, such as shipping U.S. company data to China, a process known as "beaconing," the WSJ's Siobhan Gorman and Juro Osawa report.
But CIO Journal's Joel Schechtman writes that while computer equipment are potential vectors for industrial spying and government intrusion, companies shouldn't get too worried about the Chinese government stealing data from Huawei's customers because those risks can be mitigated fairly easily.
Wal-Mart and Amex team up. Wal-Mart andAmerican Express are teaming up to offer a prepaid debit card called Bluebird to target lower-income shoppers. Amex may be risking its upscale image by partnering with Wal-Mart, but the move will give it a 4,000-store gateway to tens of millions of "underbanked" households and the fees that will come with moving more of their transactions from cash to digital payments, Reuters notes. At the same time, Wal-Mart gets closer to achieving its longtime goal of offering banking services.
UnitedHealth looks for profits in Brazil. UnitedHealth is looking to profit from Brazil's booming health-care market — buying a 90% stake in Amil Participações for $4.9 billion. Insurers like UnitedHealth have been hunting for growth opportunities overseas, writes DealBook's Mark Scott. They're expected to see an increase in customers thanks to the Affordable Care Act, but the law won't significantly lift profits.
Midsize companies could see health-care costs rise. A recent Urban Institute study says that midsize businesses—those with between 101 and 1000 employees—could see health-care costs rise 10% because of the Affordable Care Act, the Hill reports. Small businesses could see costs fall 1.4%, and large companies could see a 4.3% increase. Read the full survey here (PDF).
BAE shareholder balks at merger. Invesco, the biggest shareholder in BAE Systems has "significant reservations" about a proposed merger with EADS, the WSJ's Jessica Hodgson reports. "The merger would materially jeopardize BAE's unique and privileged position in the United States defense market, and [Invesco] has been unable to identify any corresponding benefits to offset this," Invesco said in a statement. Analysts see little upside largely because of the lack of merger-related cost savings "and absence of clarity on possible revenue gains in a transaction that would add complexity to the combined business," Hodgson writes.
ITW whistleblower gets $2 million. An anonymous tipster has been awarded $2 million by the IRS for revealing an allegedly fraudulent tax shelter by Illinois Tool Works, Crain's Chicago Business reports. The allegations against the conglomerate date to 1999, when a Wall Street insider tipped off the IRS, law firm Phillips & Cohen said. The whistle-blower, it added, alleged that a Swiss bank duplicated its own tax deductions, which the bank's client, ITW, used to offset taxable income.
Stark warning from IMF: recession risk grows. In its latest economic outlook report – released today at the start of its annual meeting — the IMF warned that "risks for a serious global slowdown are alarmingly high." It was its bleakest assessment of global growth prospects since the 2009 recession, the WSJ notes. The IMF expects the world economy to expand just 3.3% this year and 3.6% in 2013, as growth slows in nearly every major nation.
And there's no unified message for how to avert another downturn. The IMF's advice is complicated, counseling some overextended nations to cut their budgets, some to embark on politically difficult economic overhauls, and some, including Germany and the Netherlands, to aim for somewhat higher inflation rates to make struggling euro-zone countries more competitive.
Total U.S. indebtedness eases. U.S. debt has shrunk to a six-year low relative to the size of the economy, undermining rating companies' downgrading of the nation's credit rating, Bloomberg's John Detrixhe writes. Total indebtedness including that of federal and state governments and consumers has fallen to 3.29 times GDP, the least since 2006, from a peak of 3.59 four years ago, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Private- sector borrowing is down by $4 trillion to $40.2 trillion.
Euro zone launches rescue fund. Euro-zone finance ministers formally inaugurated a permanent €500 billion rescue fund, but didn't resolve whether it would be used to shoulder existing bad debts of Irish and Spanish banks, the FT reports. Officials still insisted the creation of the European Stability Mechanism will give their crisis-fighting tools more credibility. "The euro area now is equipped with a permanent and effective firewall," said Jean-Claude Juncker, the Luxembourg prime minister who will chair the ESM board.
But Draghi wants bank bailout fund. ECB President Mario Draghi is calling for the creation of a common bailout fund to prevent bank failures from wrecking the financial system or costing taxpayers money. Draghi just told the European Parliament that such a bank resolution would put Europe in a position "where we can afford to let fail an important institution," the AP reports. "You need to have a common resolution framework, which we don't have now." European officials are working on putting the ECB in charge of supervising banks, but have held off including a bailout fund in their proposal.
How high is too high for marginal tax rates? DealBook's Andrew Ross Sorkin writes that the debate over top tax rates in France raises an important question amid the election campaign in the U.S. about whether the wealthy should pay more — and by how much. Warren Buffett, like some of the French, called for higher taxes on the rich, but he never sought 75% rates – like the ones being discussed in France, Sorkin writes. And while he notes that the idea of soaking the rich is often a popular one, "if there is lesson in the French experience, despite the economic models, it is that there are limits."
Banks fret over stress tests. With this year's stress tests around the corner, banks continue to complain that the Federal Reserve hasn't provided enough detail about its methodology. Fed officials say they have worked hard to help bankers better understand the math. But they don't want to hand over their models to the banks, in part because they don't want the banks to game the numbers, officials tell WSJ. Banks say the Fed has asked them for too much, too fast. Some bankers, for instance, have complained the Fed now is demanding they include the physical address of properties backing loans on their books, not just the billing address for the borrower. Not all banks, it turns out, have that information readily available.
- TNT Express promoted Jeroen Seyger to interim chief financial officer. He succeeds Bernard Bot, who was recently made interim chief executive. Seyger's most recent title at the company was director business control. UPS proposed to buy TNT for $6.77 billion in March, but the deal is facing a probe by European antitrust regulators. TNT CEO Marie-Christine Lombard stepped down last month to pursue an external career opportunity.
- Midwest BankCentre hired Dale E. Oberkfell as its chief financial officer. He succeeds Ric Grimmer, who retired, according to a press release. Oberkfell was most recently CFO of Reliance Bank.
- MiraMed hired Alan Sugerman as its chief financial officer. He was most recently CFO at Emergency Medical Associates, according to a press release.

Caring Currents
5-Minute Stress-Busters to Fight Cancer and Other Illnesses
Last updated: Jan 31, 2010
A couple of weeks ago I started the new year off with a post about anti-cancer new year's resolutions. I outlined 5 steps we can take this year to protect ourselves from cancer. A caring.com user commented to say that while my tips were valuable, I'd neglected to talk about reducing stress.
And I have to agree: Stress-reduction is an important effort we all need to embark on if we want to stay healthy. This year, researchers have unveiled studies showing that stress not only contributes to cancer and other illnesses but can also cause relapses and recurrences, as well.
So okay, great, stress is bad. But what can we do? Between work stress, money stress, and the stress of caring for our aging family members (not to mention children), we're pulled in a zillion directions already. How in the world are we going to reduce our stress? I get stressed just thinking about it!
So I asked some experts for easy, quick stress-reducers; things we can do for just a few minutes each day to bring some relaxation into our lives. Here are their top 5 tips:
1.Cuddle a Pet. According to psychologists, the relaxation response is automatic when we hold or cuddle a pet. Some experts even say that when a cat purrs, our heartbeat slows accordingly.
2. Indulge In a Laugh. Tack comic strips on your refrigerator or next to your computer, buy a joke book and read a new joke every day, or check out an online humor site like The Onion. One friend buys a daily desk calendar featuring The Far Side comics so she has a new one to chuckle over every morning. Anything that takes your mind off your worries and makes you crack a smile will work.
3. Listen to a Song. Music is one of the great stress-relievers of all time. But if you don't have much time, one song is all it takes; the average pop or country song is 4 to 5 minutes long. When you're emptying the dishwasher or chopping vegetables for dinner, pop in a CD or put on your headphones and listen to a favorite tune on your MP3 player. If possible, sing along - experts say humming or singing along to music releases even more feel-good endorphins.
4. Take Two Deep Breaths. Close your mouth and inhale slowly through your nose, drawing the air as deeply into your lungs as you can. Exhale slowly through your mouth, expelling the air until your lungs feel empty, then do it again. Experts say that taking a couple of deep breaths can provide as much beneficial relaxation as meditating if you do it several times a day.
5. Do a Simple Stretch. We've all heard about the benefits of yoga for stress reduction, and five minutes is all it takes to do a couple of simple yoga-based stretches. Stand tall and fold forward at the waist; if you can't touch your toes, just bend your knees and bend forward as far as you can. Then stand up and reach for the sky, stretching your arms as tall as possible. If you have time, lie down on your back with legs straight up in the air, perpendicular to your body. In yoga you do this against the wall; if this is inconvenient, use a table or other piece of furniture to prop them up. This is a great one to do while watching TV or just before bed.

On the ride home all I could think about was my surprise that I might still get. As I approached my house I noticed an extra vehicle in the lanemarge simpson hentai.

Tuatara deserve chance to flourish
On October 16 this year, 220 tuatara were flown from Takapourewa (Stephens Island) in the Marlborough Sounds to new homes on the East Coast, in Waikato and Otago.
About half of New Zealand's 60,000 tuatara live on Takapourewa, which is becoming overpopulated, hence the urgent need to encourage tuatara to thrive in other places.
Why all this trouble for an endemic New Zealand reptile? Because like many other native species in this beautiful country, tuatara are very special.
Like all reptiles, tuatara have eggs with a double membrane that allows the embryo to breathe on land, they have either an external bony plate or scaled skin and are cold-blooded (their body temperature is controlled, to some extent, by external means, such as basking in the sun).
The common ancestor of tuatara, lizards, snakes, crocodiles and birds was probably a small lizard-like creature that lived about 280 million years ago.
This creature evolved over millions of years to produce two evolutionary branches, one the ancestor of crocodiles and birds (archosaurs), the other the ancestor of lizards, snakes and tuatara (lepidosaurs). Archosaurs have several shared characteristics first found in their common ancestor (surprisingly, crocodiles are more closely related to birds than to lizards).
Lepidosaurs have shared characteristics not found in archosaurs. For example, lizards and snakes have overlapping scales, crocodiles have scales that form a horny layer that is shed piecemeal and not in one layer as in snakes and lizards; lizards and snakes can lose and then regrow their tails, crocodiles can't.
Tuatara share a common ancestor with snakes and lizards but their evolutionary branch split some 200 million years ago and so tuatara are not lizards. They have several unique features and are so special that biologists have had to dedicate a separate branch of the tree of life just to tuatara.
About 250 million years ago tuatara were distributed worldwide, however, coincident with the advent of mammals, they became extinct - except, that is, in New Zealand.
Male tuatara measure about 80 centimetres and weigh up to 1.3 kilograms (females are only about 40cm).
There are two species, Sphenodon punctatus and the much rarer Sphenodon guntheri, or Brothers Island tuatara.
They each have a distinctive spiny crest on their backs; in te reo, "tuatara" means "peaks on the back". Tuatara don't have teeth as such, but projections from their jaw bone. These wear away and so as tuatara age, they must switch to softer prey such as worms. Unique among living species, they have two rows of "teeth" in the upper jaw which overlap a single row on the lower jaw.
The eyes of a tuatara focus independently and have two types of visual cells, one for day and one for night.
They also have an unusual photo-receptor, dubbed the "third eye", which is thought to use the sun's UV light to set their seasonal cycles.
This third eye has a lens, cornea and retina with degenerated nerve connections to the brain.
It used to be thought that tuatara had changed little over the last 200 million years - they were called "living fossils". However, recent studies show that at the molecular level they have changed significantly.
Tuatara have many cold- weather adaptations, allowing them to thrive in New Zealand. These adaptations may be unique because when their ancestors were living, the Earth was much warmer.
That said, tuatara are extremely primitive; their heart is the most primitive of any reptile.
They also retain basic features in their skull from their distant evolutionary ancestor, features lost or modified in snakes and lizards.
The females lay eggs only once every four years and it takes up to 15 months from copulation to hatching. The incubation temperature determines the sex: at 18 degrees Celsius it will be female, at 21C it's a 50:50 chance of male or female and at 22C or above it will be male. Their average lifespan is 60 years but there is a documented example of a tuatara living up to 200 years.
Tuatara used to be widespread in New Zealand. However, they became confined to 32 mammal- free islands. Thanks to world-class work by the Conservation Department in eradicating rats from some offshore islands and thanks to captive breeding programmes, the number of individuals in both species is increasing.
Hopefully the release of the 220 tuatara last month will usher in the establishment of increased numbers on mainland New Zealand and allow this hugely important and uniquely New Zealand reptile to survive and prosper.

For the active trader tendency of a security's returns to respond to swings in the market is vital to know for investment. Government Properties Income Trust (NASDAQ:GOV) retains focus with CARBO Ceramics Inc. (NYSE:CRR) in context of risk factor and volatility level. For GOV, analysts use beta value of 1.04 to measure all the time to get a sense of stocks' risk profiles and in same manners for second firm that has 1.64 times beta. Beta is a gauge of systematic risk, which is most important measure of risk or volatility of a stock. Always a financier wondering why his stocks are fluctuating ups and down as compare to overall market does not, beta helps to answer this question.
Belonging to a portfolio with very high beta stocks may result in out-sized gains, but it can also lead to disaster. During the height of many stocks with very high betas were soaring in price only to subsequently collapse in value. An investor looking to avoid high risk investments would contain avoided speculative stocks during dot-com bubble based on beta measurements.
Once the concept of beta is understood, an investor can intuitively determine whether or not a particular stock has a high or low beta. For example, an established blue chip company in a mature industry with stable earnings will most likely have a much lower beta compared to a start up Biotechnology Company.
In recent trade, Government Properties Income Trust (NASDAQ:GOV) declared the plunged of -5.28% and finalized at $18.31 with the total traded volume of 20.48 Million shares. Beta factor for GOV was recorded as 1.04. A beta of 1.0 indicates that the stock's price will move in lock-step with the market. A beta of less than 1 indicates the stock will be less volatile than the market, and correspondingly, a beta of more than 1 indicates the stock's price will be more volatile than the market. In the trailing twelve months, gross profit margin was 67.20% and net profit margin of the company was 25.70%. The stock showed plunged performance of -19.09% in last week and it plunged about -11.63% in last quarter.
CARBO Ceramics Inc. (NYSE:CRR) knocked down during the previous trading session. The company noted the recent trading activity with the knocked down of -0.29% and closed at $6.85. The stock has 27.10 shares outstanding while 86.40% shares of the company were owned by institutional investors. In the profitability analysis, the company has gross profit margin of -77.30%. Beta value of the company was 1.64. Conversely, most high-tech, Nasdaq-based stocks have a beta of greater than 1, offering the possibility of a higher rate of return, but also posing more risk. Giving some intention to the performance of firm, its weekly performance was 13.60% and month's performance was calculated as -9.51%. And CRR has Average True Range for 14 days of 0.53.

The University of Worcester has been short listed in two categories at the Green Gown Awards 2011.
The Awards, which are administered by the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC), recognise the exceptional initiatives undertaken by universities and colleges across the UK to become more sustainable.
More than 240 entries were received across the 13 categories. The University of Worcester has been short listed for the Green ICT Award and the Skills Award.
Katy Boom, Director of Sustainability at the University, said: "'Getting short listed in two very different categories is immensely pleasing. These awards recognise a lot of hard work achieved by both students and staff in very different ways. Developing students' skills in sustainability is crucial to help us all make the necessary changes to reduce our impact on the environment. After all today's students will be tomorrow's leaders."
Earlier this year the University of Worcester was named as Britain's third greenest university, and first in the West Midlands, in the People & Planet's Green League.
The Skills award recognises the achievement in the development of skills relevant to sustainability in apprenticeships, skill-focused courses leading to professional or vocational qualifications or short courses for practitioners.
The nomination for the Green ICT award highlights the University's recognition of the growing environmental importance of ICT within the educational sector. The University of Worcester has taken steps to minimise energy consumption, carbon emissions, waste generation and other environmental aspects connected with ICT.
Ms Boom said: "Getting recognition for the impressive work by IT colleagues in reducing our carbon footprint is timely. It stands us in good stead ready for when we start to operate out of The Hive, our new joint library and history centre, which is an outstanding sustainable building and having acquired these very sustainable ways of operating our IT functions will help to reduce running costs even further when the building opens in July 2012.'
As sustainability becomes an increasingly important issue on the global agenda, the Green Gown Awards have been established as the most prestigious recognition of sustainability excellence.
The standard of entries has increased considerably this year as more universities battled to be short listed.
The winners from the short listed entries will be announced by a celebrity host in an awards ceremony which will take place on Thursday, November 3 at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Walmart, as the company prepares to promote more than 160,000 employees — including 25,000 promotions during its fourth quarter — ahead of the competitive holiday shopping season.
"Our success from day one is a direct result of our associates and the hard work they do in taking care of our customers. We are proud to provide our people with additional opportunities for career growth and greater economic security for their families," said Bill Simon, Walmart U.S. president and CEO. "Like most Americans, our associates want good jobs and access to a better life. Whether you are a cashier in Charlotte, or a stocker in Dallas or an assistant manager in Los Angeles, Walmart wants to see you succeed."
Simon is traveling to stores to congratulate those who received promotions, as are other top-level executives, including Gisel Ruiz, Walmart U.S. COO; Michael Bender, president of Walmart West; Joaquin Gonzalez, president of Walmart East and Mike Moore, president of Walmart Central.
According to the company, in addition to standard salary and benefits, both full- and part-time employees at Walmart are eligible for quarterly bonuses based on the performance of their stores. Employees also receive a discount card to save 10% on most regularly priced general merchandise, fresh fruits and vegetables at any Walmart store.
"I have been working in retail since I was in high school. I knew I wanted more opportunity to build my career, so when I heard Walmart was coming to town I immediately applied for a job," said Yoselin Umana, a grocery department manager in North Bergen, N.J. "I have been with the company for four years now. I know I made the right choice for my career and my family."
These promotions are in addition to Walmart's announcement in September to move 35,000 employees from temporary to part-time jobs and another 35,000 employees from part-time to full-time by the end of the year.
