Later last call for alcohol fails to find favor with Nashua officialsBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
July 21. 2013 8:39PM
Communities throughout New Hampshire will have the option of keeping their bars open until 2 a.m.
In Nashua, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau and Police Chief John Seusing are not in favor of serving booze for an extra hour.
"I don't think it is unreasonable to have last call at 1 a.m.," Lozeau said last week. "My experience is that people tend to get in more trouble as they drink later into the night, especially if the establishments are done serving their full menus."
The law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2014. The later last call is only allowed in a community that adopts an ordinance setting the later closing time.
Manchester officials have not yet made any move to adapt the 2 a.m. closing.
House Bill 575, as amended, allows local municipalities to decide whether or not to opt-in to the new last call. Gov. Maggie Hassan signed it into law July 10.
Lozeau praised state legislators for adopting the opt-in, amended version of the bill.
"I was pleased they left it to the local communities to take action," she said.
In Nashua, the mayor or a member of the Board of Aldermen would have to present a proposed ordinance or resolution recommending that city bars and lounges be permitted to serve alcohol until 2 a.m. Lozeau said she has no intention of drafting any proposal.
"It seems to me that nothing good could come of it. We have to be business friendly and community friendly at the same time," she said. "But I do worry about this one. Many of these establishments are close together, and people go from one bar to the next."
Bar-hopping may be good for local businesses, but it also makes it extremely difficult for bartenders and waiters to gauge just how much liquor someone may have consumed, said Lozeau, who previously owned three restaurants in the city with her husband, two of which offered alcohol.
Seusing said an additional hour of serving alcohol would mean an extra hour of people drinking and then having to make the decision of whether they are sober enough to drive home.
"It would open the door to some additional problems. I don't think it would be extreme, and I am sure we could handle it, but I still wouldn't be overly supportive of it," said Seusing.
The chief said he does not want to hurt any local businesses. Seusing said he welcomes any input from business owners about the situation, and says he would be happy to have a public discussion about the matter.
Although a 2 a.m. last call might make sense for some communities, Lozeau said it doesn't make sense for Nashua.
"I understand that some business owners may like this opportunity, but I don't see a real community-wide benefit," said the mayor.

Washington, DC- Fr. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life, issued the following statement in support of the Women's Health and Safety Act which will bring some regulation to abortion clinics in Florida.
"Though abortions should not be legal at all, it is only right that abortion facilities be better regulated than they are, for the sake of the women who go there," said Fr. Frank Pavone. "I thank Gov. Bush for signing the Women's Health and Safety Act. I also challenge the abortion industry to be as supportive of women's health in fact as they are in rhetoric, and stop opposing measures like this wherever they arise."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic organization dedicated exclusively to the defense of human life from abortion and euthanasia. For more information about Priests for Life, please visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Last football season, two guys that are going on to play ball at the collegiate level caught 35 of the 59 passes Morris completed. Danny Friend, now with Indiana University and Anthonee Monson, now with Bemidji State pulled in 15 and 20 passes, respectively for the runner-up Redskins.
While much of the talk this summer has been around who is going to replace quarterback Zach Cinnamon, the question mark quietly flying under the radar involve who is going to catch the passes from the kid who eventually wins the quarterback job?
To this point, five names have routinely popped up as making an impact at the wide receiver position this summer.
"Jake Walker and Kyle Hill will be our slot guys. They are quick little guys who are like the Wes Welker type. They are fast and we like to throw them the quick stuff," Morris offensive coordinator Bill Lauer said. "Jeremy Shannon has been doing a good job, along with Trevor Albert and Tyler Post. Those are also guys who can catch the ball."
None of the five guys Lauer mention has ever caught a varsity pass, nor is any of them over 6-0 tall. Friend is 6-5 and Monson 6-1.
"We don't have the height like we've had in the past, but we're still going to throw the ball. We just have to be smart with the plays we are running," Morris coach Alan Thorson said. "Kids like Jake Walker and Kyle Hill have a lot of speed and we need to find a way of getting the ball to them. If it's short passes or whatever, we know if we get them the ball that they are going to make plays happen.
"We've been repping five a lot. Shannon and Trevor Albert and Tyler Post have been getting the reps, though guys like Chase Hansen are stepping up, too. Josh Hulbert has done a good job, as have Dino and Robbie Meucci. We're still getting a long look at a lot of guys. We might be deep in a lot of spots."
The quarterback competition to this point has been between senior Matt Darlington and junior Griffin Sobol. They, as much as anyone, know who the go-to guys are on the receiving corps.
"They all have good hands. Jeremy, Chase, Hill, Walker, Post — those guys can catch the ball," Darlington said.
"Our starting four is doing pretty good right now. Chase Hansen is doing good. He's got good hands," Sobol said. "Walker and Kyle are solid. They are fast and quick and hard to catch. Jeremy Shannon is also a good receiver. Tyler Post is really good, too. I think we have a good receiving corps."
Nine different Morris receivers caught at least one pass in 2012. Don't be surprised if that number gets eclipsed this fall as the Redskins search to fill out the depth chart this time around.
"It's a matter of getting some guys open and for the quarterback to complete the pass. We're not going to be a team that looks for the home run right away," Lauer said. "Especially if we can open up our offense with the shallow stuff. Then we will hit them deep every once in a while. That kind of ball control is the same thing as three yards and a cloud of dust."

AP Source: Redskins give Jackson $16M guaranteed
WASHINGTON (AP) — A person familiar with the deal says DeSean Jackson's contract with the Washington Redskins is worth $24 million over three years with $16 million guaranteed.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Redskins did not publicly disclose the terms.
Jackson was back at Redskins Park on Wednesday to sign the contract after two days of visits and negotiations.
Jackson signed a five-year, $48.2 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles two years ago, but he was cut last week despite coming off a season in which he set career highs with 82 catches for 1,332 yards for the NFC East champions.
Amid reports of off-the-field issues, Philadelphia initially tried to trade Jackson and then released him. His deal with the Eagles would have been worth $10.25 million in 2014.

Possible Wind Tommorow!! 2/5/05
Post general kiteboarding discussion topics here!
Moderator: BayAreaKite
Wild friggin' goose chase to Alameda yesterday. Thanks for the inside tip. Quit dreamin', it's only February. Back to my cubicle like a groundhog. You guys with new gear are just killin' me. How 'bout wind and old gear? Testy? Maybe a little.
Football sucks too and the entire country is gearing up for the Stupid Bowl... sheesh.
Go bigga'
Wadell was definitly the call today. I should have woke up earlier but I partied to hard last night.
we ended up at o.b. ollie ripped it like a pro
i got rolled in the surf
all in all very fun and little scary
he rode his 12 rage, every one elsa was 10m and down
i rode a 9.6m
veery powerfull waves !
I was out at Stinson today with the wife and kids and no kites. There were about 6 people out. The kites I saw up close were 14's-16's. It started picking up around 1pm and shut down at around 3:30pm..
O.B. was killer today! For us East Bay folk, the drive time was less than half of a Waddell trip and we were well rewared, so luckily today we made a good call. Charlie, you're too kind, I had a blast, but Anthony and Darren were displaying a powerful command today, it got me stoked being out there and watching them. I was kind of surprised - on the outside there were a few double overheads but I gave them their run and let them dissipate before I got too close. Btw, the Windwing Rage II was absolutely incredible and flew so solid and tight, turned wonderfully and the range was exponential with the CC bar and SAFE bridle system. It's true that everyone else was on 10's and 8's.. I'm so stoked on those kites. I'll post a full review on them soon...
I made it to Sherman. Did pretty well on the 17 until it went down and I couldn't get it back up. Found out how cold the water really is. New harness made the swim very hard. Some fishermen picked me up and took me to my board and brought me in. I think hypothermia was played a big role, and I had a 3mm suit on. Advice don't drop your kite in water that cold!!!!!! Kite did well though;-)

City parking fees: Better than a tax increase
April 28. 2014 5:54PM
Manchester aldermen could vote tonight to expand the portion of the center city where on-street parking meters or kiosks run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and cost 75 cents per hour. They also could increase monthly parking rates for city garages and parking lots. Given the city's financial situation and the high value of parking in the center city, the changes make sense.
It is very cheap to park on public property in Manchester. The city charges 50-75 cents an hour for metered spaces. By contrast, Portsmouth charges twice that — $1-1.50 an hour — and Nashua charges 50 cents to $1 an hour. Monthly parking fees in Manchester also are low. A city review of other cities in the region found that only Nashua's fees are lower. Portsmouth charges $100 a month for a covered garage. Manchester charges $75 for the Victory Garage and only $45 for Millyard parking, $50 for other surface lots. Those fees would rise by $10 a month.
By charging well below market value for a scarce resource, the city cheats itself out of revenue, which increases the pressure for a tax increase. As for the resident parking fees, the city should not go from zero to $100, especially considering that so many low-income families live downtown. A much smaller fee would be the way to go.

NBA Hoops: Steve Nash
Is there a more loved Northwestern basketball player than Steve Nash?
At least north of the border, there has never been a better basketball player, period. The Canadian is a two-time NBA MVP and making a late bid for the Hall of Fame.
Technically, Nash wasn't born in the Pacific Northwest. In February of 1974, he was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, but his family moved to Canada when he was 18 months old. After first settling in Saskatchewan, the Nash clan ended up in Victoria, B.C.
Nash was a soccer and hockey player at first and didn't start playing basketball until he was 12. He did, however, prophesize at the time that he'd become an NBA star.
Nash was a dominant high-school player, going to Mount Douglas Secondary and St. Michaels University School. Along the way he won a B.C.Triple-A provincial title.
Despite the success, the Canadian wasn't recruited by any American university.
Eventually, Santa Clara awarded him a scholarship. Coach Dick Davey saw the point guard's outstanding potential but also called him "the worst defensive player" he'd ever seen.
Nash blossomed with Santa Clara, leading the school to three NCAA Tournament appearances, including a memorable upset in 1993 as a No. 15 seed over No. 2 Arizona, and was twice named the West Coast Conference's player of the Year.
Steve Nash went 15th overall to the Phoenix Suns in the 1996 NBA draft.
Many fans in attendance booed the pick, not knowing much about Nash.
He didn't play much in his first few seasons, filling an understudy role behind Jason Kidd, Kevin Johnson and Sam Cassell. However, after he was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 1998, Nash's career exploded.
The true breakout came in 2000-01 when he became an All-Star, leading the Dallas Mavericks to prominence alongside Dirk Nowitzki.
After some productive seasons with the Mavericks, Nash signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns. With Shawn Marion and Amar'e Stoudemire as his passing targets, Nash went from star to superstar.
He won back-to-back NBA MVP awards in 2005 and 2006, leading one of the best offenses in NBA history under run-and-gun coach Mike D'Antoni.
Nash remains a Phoenix Sun today and his resume is fantastic. In addition to the two MVPs, Nash is a seven-time All-Star; he's first all-time in NBA free-throw percentage; he's ninth in assists per game and a five-time assist champion; and he's eighth all-time in three-point percentage.
Did you know Stevie also has a honorary doctorate from the University of Victoria, and is the most ridiculous man in the world?
Check out his stuff on YouTube.
All Nash needs to complete the perfect career is that elusive NBA Championship ring, if that doesn't happen though we guarantee you next stop, the NBA Hall-of-Fame.

Flood Tests Cities' Patience
As Rivers Rise in Midwest, Illinois Neighbors Battle Over Water Diverted by a Levee
Swollen rivers across a wide swath of the Midwest are forcing hundreds of evacuations, flooding streets and farmers' fields, and prompting a squabble in the northern Chicago suburbs over flood management.
Rains totaling more than 8 inches in the past week are causing rivers from Grand Rapids, Mich., to St. Louis to reach flood levels and putting communities along much of the Mississippi River on alert. The Des Plaines River, with a typical flood stage of 5 feet, swelled to 10.9 feet in Des Plaines, Ill., breaking a record...

Destruction of Berlin theater is ruled arson
By DEBRA THORNBLAD
Special to the Union Leader
A fire that destroyed the landmark Princess Theatre on Dec. 13 has been ruled a case of arson. (DEBRA THORNBLAD/Union Leader Correspondent)
— A fire that destroyed the landmark Princess Theatre on Friday, Dec. 13, has been ruled a case of arson. Two 15-year-old boys have been taken into custody in connection with the fire and both have been charged with Class B felony arson.
Because they are juveniles, their names are not being released. A hearing held in Berlin District Court on Wednesday, Dec. 18, was closed. Berlin Police Chief Peter Morency said there's a possibility they could be certified as adults because the fire could have endangered the lives of people living in a close adjacent building. If that happens it will be at the superior court level.
Police say the two boys allegedly forced their way into the theater through a back door. The fire was set in the projection area on the second floor, allegedly using lighters."It was a combination of things, people paying attention and talking to us," Morency said, regarding how the youths were identified.There were smaller footprints outside the theater, some young people hanging around the area were identified and through word of mouth, Morency said.
The boys were picked up by police on Tuesday, Dec. 17, and held overnight by the Coos County Sheriff's office in Lancaster.
The two are also possible suspects in fires that occurred in Success. On Thursday, a pile of mattresses were burned and on Saturday, some tires.

ADRIAN — The Britton Deerfield girls basketball team defeated Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central 43-40 in Wednesday's opening round of the third annual Siena Heights Holiday Tournament.
Britton Deerfield (7-0) was fantastic early on but faded as the game went on, nearly costing the Patriots the game.
"It was like we played two different games tonight," said Britton Deerfield coach Craig Tanis. "We played very well in the first game and not so well in the second. I don't really know what caused the problem."
Both teams appeared a bit sluggish out of the gate, which isn't surprising seeing as Christmas was only the day before. Before long, the Patriots began to get into the rhythm and put points on the board. Britton Deerfield had difficulty making shots but absolutely dominated the boards, leading to many second-chance points and leading to an 11-5 lead after the first quarter.
The Patriots really came alive in the second quarter. The Handy sisters, Cambria and Janessa, proved lethal to the Kestrels on fast breaks. Janessa Handy accounted for five assists on the night, all of them to her sister, Cambria Handy who led all scorers with 20 points, with 16 coming in the first half.
"We always want to push the ball," said Tanis. "Even after misses, we want to push it. We want to be able to make easy baskets during transitions."
With Britton Deerfield's offense rolling, the Patriot defense stepped up as well. St. Mary CC scored just seven points in the second quarter and were shut out in the final four minutes of the half, letting the Patriots take a 26-12 lead into the half.
It was all downhill from there for the Patriots.
St. Mary CC came out of halftime with something to prove. The Kestrels immediately hit two 3's to start the half and shut down the Patriot offense entirely. Britton Deerfield managed to score just three points during the quarter and committed multiple turnovers. Monroe Saint Mary began to pick apart the Patriots' full-court press with ease and went on a 9-1 run to end the quarter.
"I told the girls during the half that Monroe Saint Mary wasn't going to give up," Tanis said after the game. "We needed to go out there and put the game out of reach and we didn't. I think we got lazy with our lead and allowed too many unforced turnovers. There were too many mental lapses in the second half."
Now up just 29-25, Britton Deerfield had its backs to the wall and needed someone to step up. Morgan Tanis proceeded to do

From the Beerwah Reptile and Fauna Park to Australia Zoo, read all about the history of how the Irwin Family transformed a few acres of land into the biggest and best wildlife conservation facility in the entire world!
Stephen Robert Irwin was born to Lyn and Bob Irwin on 22 February, 1962, in upper Fern Tree Gully, Victoria. He grew up loving all wildlife, especially reptiles catching his first venomous snake at the tender age of six!
Born in "cougar country", Eugene, Oregon, in the United States, Terri Irwin was instilled with a love for wildlife and a desire to help animals from a very early age. A chance encounter with Steve would change their lives forever!
An enthusiastic wildlife conservationist and award-winning international celebrity, Bindi was only 3 years old when she made her television debut on The Crocodile Hunter Diaries.
Robert is a chip off the old block, and with his cheeky grin and natural curiosity, he loves nothing more than catching lizards and skinks, learning about wildlife and the Australian bush.

Hi all,
Now that I am starting to make some progress in Latin, although I still have a long ways to go, I would like to start memorizing some Ancient Greek paradigms so that I have them firmly embedded before embarking on the journey that is Greek. I'm going to be studying using the 2nd edition of JACT's Reading Greek. I can't figure out what paradigms I should memorize on google. Can anybody suggest a good set of paradigms, fairly complete, that can be found cheaply (preferably free)? Not knowing anything about Ancient Greek, I don't even know what a mostly complete set of Ancient Greek paradigms looks like.

Just as the Web now plays host to once-inaccessible CRM software applications and numerous online business activities, it also hosts another, more long-standing American fixture: the presidential campaign. From fundraising to organizing to mass marketing to an actual online primary in Arizona, Web sites now affordably host many activities formerly laboriously accomplished through precinct walks, mass mailings and hundreds of hours of telephone work.
At the center of this new style of "e-campaigning" are two now famous--some might say infamous--Web sites, built and maintained for the single purpose of making you feel good about the sites' respective owners. The sites are those of the two big attention grabbers this season, George W. Bush (www.georgewbush.com) and Albert Gore (www.algore2000.com). Each site was developed with input and oversight from its owner. Consequently, each site is a reflection of the candidate, and to the trained eye, a reflection of the man himself.
According to Greg Sedberry, e-campaign manager for George W. Bush for President, georgewbush.com was "created to disseminate the governor's message. It provides voters with access 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
The first message users actually "access" after logging on is a request for money featuring the candidate's head in a small window on the home page. Make no mistake, every political Web site asks for money, but most have the contribution function hidden tastefully behind a link button. However, this design seems to work well: At this writing, the site had generated $1.6 million in online contributions from users (Bush's offline fundraising efforts were a bit more successful--$80 million at this writing, with no request for federal matching funds needed).
Beyond the donation window lies a well organized, if predictable site featuring standard tool bars for easy navigation. The colors are, of course, red, white and blue, and pictures of Bush abound--Bush with children, Bush with workers, Bush with more children. The actual information disseminated includes biographical info, messages, speeches, organizational opportunities and audio/video streaming, which was designed by Yahoo! The site also features a nifty little tax calculator to let users contemplate their post-tax cut wealth.
Of the major presidential sites, algore2000.com is by far the most focused, the most aggressive and the most rigidly professional. The purpose of the site, says Ben Green, the director of Internet Operations for Gore 2000, is vintage CRM--the site benefits voters by allowing them to establish a direct connection to the campaign. "Voters can go to the site and get info on what they are interested in," he says.
And yes, based on the information algore2000.com delivers, considerable thought went into establishing and maintaining that relationship with voters. There are sections devoted to every state in the country, and nine constituency outreach sections, with more on the way. "There is content directly relevant to your life," says Green. "If you are African-American, or if you are from California, or whatever, there is content there for you."
Green, like his pit-bull boss, also took a swipe at georgewbush.com by adding, "The Bush site is very bland compared to ours. It's got 'Here is a press release for your state' and things like that."
AlGore2000.com is easily navigable, with simple tool bars with titles like "The Agenda" or "Contribute" or even "Tipper Gore." Like the banner ads they are, the photographs in each of these sections refresh regularly so you don't see the same picture of Tipper speaking at the Super Tuesday Victory Celebration more than once every few minutes. Photographs of the V.P. are well chosen and politically calculated: Gore with business leaders, Gore with inner-city youth.
Election Campaigns Turn to CRM
Election campaign managers and politicians, following the lead of businesses, are getting ever closer to the voting public by incorporating CRM tools and techniques into the campaign process.

As-Salamu 'Alaykum -
I am more than a little fuzzy on certain aspects of Islamic marriage procedures, and although I am not contemplating (another) marriage I feel it is an area I should know something about when asked by others!
Firstly, the bride's gift- the mahr: when a suitor is interested, does the prospective bride THEN set her 'price' in order to determine the man's true feelings or strength of will to marry her, or is this deferred until later? I know it is an item usually included in a marriage contract, but is it something that is a matter of 'public record' so to speak, prior to the marriage, to weed out those who might not be so sincere in their intentions of marriage?
Second, I have read where some schools require a written contract, and others do not. In the case of the latter, how does one go about enforcing the contract if things don't go well for the couple? If there is no written contract and all the witnesses are deceased, how is a man or woman to enforce the contract's points?
Third, regarding pre-marriage customs and such: if a young woman is of a mind to find a husband, does she inform her wali of this and let the wali start looking for a suitable match? And, if this is the case, if the potential bride has a particular requirement for her mahr, is this something the wali (or whoever is assisting her) is informed of and informs potential mates of in the process? (For example, Girl A wants to get married and informs her wali; does her wali then size up potential mates and go to them saying Girl A is looking for a husband- are you interested? If Boy A says yes, does the wali THEN tell him what GIRL A's request is, or does she tell him herself at a later meeting? (chaperoned, of course).
I realize, of course, that in today's culture- especially in the US- such seemingly 'old-fashioned' customs may be given more lip service than observance, but to me it is more important to do what is correct as opposed to what is merely easy. Even if I never find myself in a position to marry again, I think it's important to know what the right path is supposed to look like. I've a young daughter and this sort of information just might come in handy one of these days!

The wali is necessary for a marriage contract to be valid and also 2 Muslim male witness and a Mahr or dowery which is set by the wali and the girl. Of course a never married Virgin has a much high dowery than a divorcee. and it depend on the going Mahr in the community for the likes of her. ALLah knows best . check with a bonafide scholar . I am an amateur.

Eversource threatens environmental group with legal action over overcharging accusationsStaff report
December 11. 2017 2:04PM
HARTFORD, Conn. — Eversource Energy said on Monday it was putting the Environmental Defense Fund on notice that the company will pursue legal action if EDF doesn't halt "its false and defamatory statements" regarding Eversource's gas purchasing practices.
"Your false and misleading statements are immediately actionable and expose you and those acting in concert with you to liability for substantial damages," the letter read. "If you do not cease and desist from all further publication of such statements, Eversource will take all appropriate action; indeed, we have retained outside counsel to protect our rights."
In October, the group released an analysis saying that families and businesses in New England paid an estimated $3.6 billion in artificially inflated bills over just three years.
Eversource said it makes no profit on the energy supply portion of the bill. Whether supply costs go up or down, fuel costs are passed directly to customers in adherence with state regulations.
A federal lawsuit filed in Boston alleged Eversource Energy and energy company Avangrid Inc. caused New England electric customers to get overcharged by $3.6 billion using an "anti-competitive scheme" to manipulate energy prices.

Quote Sable19:Quote Gramma2five:Quote KeepingItReal: Bait Thread Bait Thread.
Cause we know it all for the wuv of Phyllis....she the one that ran two people down and created this whole mess!
She's the one that gave Nick that jacket that don't fit why he ended up marryingher.
She's the one that sexed up Ronan on her couch.
She's the one that made out with Jack why Patty did what she did
She's the one that dressed in drag and tear up Sharon's room and wrote that stuff about herself of the mirror.
Etc. etc.
It's all on her not on Nick.
He was always too good for her.
Remember - he did tell her she was not his type.
But she BEGGED for him to come back to her default butt :D
I agree with everything you said. Nick is the bad parent here? I think Summer is lucky to have Nick for a father. I know Phyliss loves Summer but come on, she had beeen pretty loony lately.
On the flip side I wont make a difference. Noah telling Sharon today that she is out of control was spot on too.
Nick is the only one at the time that has any sense at all.
Sorry, but Nick is the most out of control of all of them. He is so out of control that he is screaming blame in public on Phyllis and letting his own child physically attack her mother while he just stands there in a coma and then doesn't even go after her. Worse, he is so out of control that he is toasting to his siter in law, his daughter's aunt, his wife's sister and telling her of thier future together! I am sure that Summer and Daniel will really respect him for that too. He has lied to Summer through all of this! He is a bigger lier than Phyllis and to his own child! Nick is a wimp! He is not a good father at all. He just tells everyone that he is and they are all stupid to believe him because they don't care but this guy is not a good father and worse, he is the child in the family. He is more childish and out of control than his own daughter is right now. He should be concentrating on getting his family under control out of this madness and instead he is going after Avery! What a piece of trash!
Well in my opinion from what I saw, Nick told his daughter several times that she was a spoiled brat and she could not act like that or talk to her mother that way. I think Nick was the stand up parent. His daughter had just seen her mother rolling on the couch with her lover. I am not bashing Phyliss..I am a Phyliss fan, as far as she is needed on this show. Just the truth of what Summer saw.I do not get why in the heck Nick should be blamed for this? What the he.. did he do since they recommitted to each other? Phyliss has done nothing but lie to Nick over and over. Summer? I think when she saw her mother having sex on the couch it probably would mess up anyone let alone a teen like Summer. She really is being portrayed like her mother.

For information about how the 2008 financial crisis has affected the investment banking industry, see the 2008 Financial Crisis page
Investment banks help public and private institutions raise capital. Although many investment banks manage money for institutions and wealthy individuals, they are very different from "banks" that most people are familiar with. Investment banks do not have retail locations where they accept deposits and create accounts for the average consumer.
Instead investment banks cater to companies and institutions, mainly by finding them sources of funding. Their services include arranging equity and debt offerings, providing credit facilities and "selling" securities to investors. They also advise institutions on a wide range of transactions, notably mergers and acquisitions. The clients of an investment bank benefit from the bank's access to investors, expertise in valuing assets and experience in executing transactions.
Larger investment banks, such as Goldman Sachs, have their own sales and trading operation which allows them to generate additional revenue from market making and executing trades. Additionally, many investment banks provide asset management and brokerage services.
These services are generally complementary. For example: an acquisition is often financed by a debt or equity offering. Similarly, having a sales & trading operation not only allows the bank to buy and sell securities on behalf of its clients but also to trade in other securities an earn a commission for market making.
Investment banks are commonly identified as bulge bracket firms such as Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch (MER) or Goldman Sachs. However, investment banks vary both in terms of services they offer and the way they are organized.
On the other side of the spectrum, institutions such as Citigroup and Bank of America, commonly identified by their retail operations, have in-house investment banking divisions which compete for business with pure-play firms like Goldman Sachs. Banks in this category are known as Money Center Banks -- a term used by institutions that offer a wide range of financial services.
In terms of organization, most bulge bracket investment banks have very similar operating divisions, with minor variations in structure. For example: In some banks Prime Brokerage falls under the Sales & Trading division, in others it falls under asset management. Moreover, many deals are handled by more than one division. For example: In an underwriting deal the investment banking division advises the client and structures the offering, while the Sales & Trading division sells the securities in the stock market.
The Investment banking division (IBD) helps its clients to raise funds through debt and equity offering. This includes raising funds through an Initial Public Offering (IPO), offering a credit facility with the bank, selling shares to sophisticated investors through private placements, or issuing and selling bonds on behalf of the client. The division functions as an intermediary and earns its revenue by charging a fee. Clients benefit from the bank's access to investors, expertise in valuing assets and experience in executing these transactions.
Often the bank will buy shares directly from the company and try to sell it at a higher price to investors. This process is known as underwriting, and is riskier than simply advising clients -- since the bank assumes the risk of the stock selling for a lower price than it had expected. Underwriting an offering requires the division to work with Sales & Trading to sell shares to the public markets.
The division also earns revenue by advising clients on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which involves evaluating the target company, negotiation the terms of the agreement and arranging the financing for the deal.
The investment banking division is normally divided into industry coverage and product coverage groups. Industry coverage groups focus on a specific industry such as retail, oil, or technology. Product coverage groups focus on financial products, such as mergers and acquisitions, leveraged finance and equity.
Sales and Trading is the division that buys and sells assets and securities in a lot of markets. The division mainly operates in highly liquid markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, but also does over the counter sales.
Sales and Trading division deals with a wide range of asset classes, including commodities, bonds, stocks, futures and options.
The asset management division manages money for institutions, such as mutual funds, and wealthy individuals. The business is divided into three sub-divisions.
Fund management: This division manages a number of funds, each with a different focus and strategy. For example: the asset management division may have three funds, one focused on private equity investments in emerging markets, another dealing with arbitrage trades, and yet another that buys and holds corporate debt. Clients can choose to place their money with either of these funds. Some banks, such as Bank of New York Mellon, manageexchange-traded funds that are accessible to retail investors. The bank earns revenue by charging a fee for assets under management, and sometimes by charging a commission based on returns.
Private Banking and Wealth Management: The division manages banking activities of extremely wealthy individuals. Apart from providing regular banking services, such as check clearing, the division also advise such individuals on tax strategy and investments. They work closely with other parts of the asset management division to provide a comprehensive service, e.g. work with fund management to invest in different strategies.
Prime Brokerage: The division deals with professional asset managers, such as mutual funds and hedge funds. Their services include executing trades on behalf of these clients, holding custody of their assets, and advising them on potential opportunities. For example: When Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) needs to buy a certain security from public markets, it uses a prime broker to buy and hold the security on its behalf. The division works closely with the Sales and Trading division. Additionally, the prime brokerage can also help its clients (hedge funds) to find investors.
Investment banks have attempted to increase their return on equity by investing their own capital into certain ventures. The bank invests its own capital by taking a equity or debt stake in corporations with the aim of influencing the management. The motive is very similar to that private equity investors -- the bank tries to profit by turning around companies.
The bank can also take short-term positions in the market with its own capital. This is known as proprietary trading, and the bank attempts to earn a profit by correctly predicting market movements. Proprietary trading is very different from normal sales and trading operations -- where the banks revenue is primarily dependent on the volume of trade it executes on behalf of its client.
The notion of the bank risking its own capital can be traced back ever since banking was invented. J.P. Morgan, founder of J P Morgan Chase, was an extremely successful investor. However, in recent years, Goldman Sachs has been the leader in this field -- in 2007, the bank profited greatly from the proprietary trades that it made against the sub-prime market.
In many cases, the banks allow other investors to invest in such ventures (and charge a management fee). This puts them in direct competitor with hedge funds and private equity firms for both investors and investing opportunities.
Investment banks act as a bridge between those who need capital and those who can provide it. In this regard they act as a "certification" company. Investors who purchase securities buy it under the assumption that that these securities are "fairly" valued. Similarly, the company that issues these securities depend on the bank to provide them a "fair" price for these securities.
While the bank can use sell securities for an "unfair" price and make quick short-term gains, it is unlikely they can sustain such practices in the long run. Moreover, given that their service includes providing advice to institutions, their business depends on the quality of these advices. In other words, banks with a reputation for providing good advice are likely to retain their clients and get more clients in future. Major investment banks, such as Morgan Stanley and Lazard, have built their reputation over decades, making it extremely difficult for new players to gain advantage in the industry.
Certain banks choose to focus on a particular market and build its reputation in that segment. For example, while KBW Inc. is known for its expertise in advising companies in the financial sector. According to research by the Wharton School, there is a correlation between advisory fees and reputation of the bank.[1] Indicating that, everything else being equal, investment banks with a better reputation earn higher revenue from fees.
On the other hand, highly ranked employees of a bank have their own reputation and industry connections -- in some instances, overshadowing the reputation of the bank. For example, in Mergers & Acquisitions, names such as Joseph Perella and Bruce Wasserstein stand independent of their firm's reputation. As a result, there is fierce competition between banks to hire and retain top bankers.
The bank earns additional income by borrowing money at low rate and lending or investing it at a higher rate. For example:

Good news for Tame Impala fans, the band are reissuing their hard to find debut EP on vinyl for this year's Record Store Day.
It will come in red vinyl and features the six songs on the digital version – two of which were't available on the digital EP.
The band have come a long way since their debut, but it does include in Forty One Mosquitoes Flying In Formation and Skeleton Tiger, two fine examples of the way the band's sound would progress in a more trippy psych vein.
Best of all is the classic Half Full Glass Of Wine, an extended version of which was the killer encore at the band's 2012 shows.

Delaware Hayes High School senior Lily Wiest is "The Marty" for 2014 -- the Best of Show winner in a contest for central Ohio's high school journalists.
Delaware Hayes High School senior Lily Wiest is "The Marty" for 2014 -- the Best of Show winner in a contest for central Ohio's high school journalists.
Other student journalists from the Bexley, Delaware, Olentangy and Upper Arlington school districts were honored in the contest, which is staged by ThisWeek Community News and The Dispatch Printing Company, and sponsored by the Central Ohio Society of Professional Journalists.
The contest judges student reporting in feature writing, news writing, opinion writing, photography and sports writing.
Wiest of Delaware Hayes won first place in Best News Writing for her story, "Beehive buzzes no more," that examined the closing of a local bookstore and how locally owned versus chain-owned stores are faring in downtown Delaware.
That entry also was judged Best in Show for the entire contest, earning Weist "The Marty" award, $250 and the offer of a mentorship with ThisWeek. She also won $150 for winning first place in the news writing category, as did the first-place winners in the other four categories.
Elizabeth Jaffy of Bexley High School won second place in news writing.
The other local students honored for their entries in the contest are:Best Feature Writing
First place -- Carly Berndt, Bexley High School.
Runner-up -- Ben Krajnak, Bexley High School.Best Opinion Writing
First place -- Kimmy Sullivan, Upper Arlington High School.
Runner-up -- Carly Hyder, Olentangy High School.Best Photography
First place -- Sheridan Hendrix, Upper Arlington High School.
Runner-up -- Kota Ashton, Upper Arlington High School.Best Sports Reporting
First place -- Maria Grund, Upper Arlington High School.
Runner-up -- Collin Witting, Delaware Hayes High School.
The contest, now in its fourth year, honors the late Martin L. Rozenman, former longtime editor of Suburban News Publications, reporter for The Columbus Dispatch and nine-year board of directors member of the Central Ohio SPJ.
Mentoring students -- and reaching out to young journalists to encourage their interest in the profession -- were hallmarks of Rozenman's career. He died in 2010 after a lengthy battle with a blood disorder.

DfT denies deliberately misleading on speed cam stats
As Swiss prepare for new supercams
The Department for Transport last week denied deliberately misleading the public by exaggerating claims of the beneficial effects of speed cams.
This follows an exclusive report in The Register, revealing that the DfT now accepts that its claim that speed cams on average lead to a reduction of 42 per cent in the Killed and Serious Injury (KSI) category on the roads may have "unwittingly" misled the public.
Although the headline reduction in KSI at speed cam locations reported in a 2005 study was 42 per cent, a review by academic experts in the field of transport statistics showed that more than half of this effect was not due to speed cams, but to other completely unrelated factors.
Despite this and the fact that the DfT's own report included the academic critique, the figure almost always quoted in official publications was 42 per cent. When we first raised this issue two years ago, the official line was that this was the "correct" figure – and the department would not budge from that assertion.
Last week, all that changed, as a spokeswoman told us: "This was basically an oversight and it will be corrected."
So why had the figure not been corrected before? She added: "The alternative views were always available in the report, which was made publicly available at the time."
She also categorically denied any link between the government's apparent U-turn on speed cam policy and the DfT's desire to reduce the headline figure.
Meanwhile, events are moving fast as at a meeting last Tuesday Oxford County councillors slashed funding to the Thames Valley Safer Roads Partnership (TVSRP) by £600,000 following a reduction in cash from central government.
TVSRP responded by stating that this effectively meant the end of the speed camera experiment in Oxford, and according to official sources the body has spent the last week gradually winding down the service. As of yesterday (1 August), the county's 72 fixed speed cameras, seven red-light cameras and 89 mobile cameras are no longer snapping at passing motorists.
This follows similar action in Swindon last year – but while Swindon merely switched off a handful of fixed cameras, the Oxford action is much further up the scale. A spokesman for TVSRP told The Register that it had concerns about the safety effects of this decision, citing long-term research by TVSRP that appeared to suggest a 36 per cent reduction in KSI within the county as a result of speed cams, even taking into account regression to the mean effects.
As some British motorists celebrate their new-found liberation from automated policing, inhabitants of the Swiss city of Geneva may soon be complaining about a new generation of speed camera that is supposedly capable of detecting up to 10 kinds of traffic offences.
According to Le Matin, quoting a story in local newspaper Le Matin Dimanche, the cameras will initially focus on conventional matters such as speeding and red light offences. They will go into service at the end of August.
However, they are also capable of picking up motorists who tailgate, fail to give way to pedestrians or to traffic on the right, and those who overtake in a dangerous manner. These capabilities will gradually be enabled in a pilot run by the Swiss Police.
Unlike current cameras, which can monitor only two lanes, the new super camera can allegedly watch four lanes at a time, following up to 22 vehicles simultaneously over a distance of 500 metres.
Following initial testing results, Jean-Marc Pecorini, head of Geneva canton's traffic police, told the newspaper: "We are very satisfied with the equipment."
The new Trafistar SR590 radar system is built by Zurich-based, Multanova. ®

Dancing Baby Video Fight Heads Back To Court: Will A Bogus Takedown Finally Get Punished?
from the that-would-be-quite-a-thing dept
Now, one of the more famous cases concerning bogus DMCA takedowns -- which started all the way back in 2007 -- is heading back to court today, to see if Universal Music can be punished for issuing a bogus takedown on a woman, Stephanie Lenz, for posting a 30-second video of her toddler son dancing to Prince's "Let's Go Crazy." If you haven't seen the video, the song is barely audible, and the whole thing is a 29-second clip. There is a strong fair use argument.
And now... the arguments are kicking off over whether or not Universal Music should get in trouble for its actions. UMG, for its part, argues that it shouldn't have to run everything through a fair use filter first, and that even if it was required to do so, it probably couldn't. EFF points out the ridiculousness of saying there are no consequences to bogus tweets.
"Parents are allowed to document and share moments of their children's lives on a forum like YouTube, and they shouldn't have to worry if those moments happen to include some background music," said [EFF IP Director Corynne] McSherry. "Content companies need to be held accountable when their heavy-handed tactics squash fair use rights. We hope the judge gives Ms. Lenz the closure she deserves, and shows content owners they can't trample over users' rights."My guess is that the court won't punish UMG, arguing that it did all it needed to do. But it would be nice to actually put some teeth into rules that prevent abusing the DMCA to silence others' speech illegally.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- The Office of Congressional Ethics recommended the House Ethics Committee review 13 of 32 cases it opened during the 112th U.S. Congress, a report said.
The OCE was created in 2008 to review allegations of wrongdoing by members of Congress and refer matters that needed further investigation and attention to the ethics committee, Roll Call reported Tuesday.
The agency released its end-of-year report Tuesday though it did not list the specific names or incidents that were reviewed.
Roll Call said some of the recent referrals to the agency included Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., who allegedly asked House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., to contributed $25,000 to an anti-incumbent super PAC; and Rep. Bill Owens, D-N.Y., who allegedly took a trip to Taiwan at the partial expense of lobbyists for the country's government. Former Reps. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., and Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, were also referred to the ethics committee.
In addition to the 32 cases the OCE reviewed, 10 others were dismissed, Roll Call reported.

Sharp Dressed Man
Kevin Willette, 31, of West Warwick, takes pride in his style. Willette is one of the regulars on Providence's Internet radio station, 990WBOB.com, and is rarely seen wearing anything but creased slacks and starched collars. Here is how Willette said his friends would describe his style: "The dashing Mr. Kevin Willette brings an enduring sense of classical style to the Rhode Island music scene. Whether hosting a breast cancer benefit in New York City, or taking in a show Downcity, Mr. Willette never appears without his trademark attire. Often seen in a variety of reptile skinned shoes or his collection of tuxedos, Mr. Willette brings a meticulous, distinctive and sophisticated style combined with a celebration for flair."

Bayern Munich defender Dante has warned his team-mates that they will have to be wary of the threat posed by Arsenal duo Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott when the two sides face off at the Emirates on Tuesday.
The Brazilian came up against the pair earlier this month while representing his country against England at Wembley, and knows that they will be able to help the Gunners bounce back from their defeat to Blackburn in the FA Cup on Saturday.
"They have very interesting players," he told Goal.com.
"Lukas Podolski was a threat in the Bundesliga even when playing for Koln, and I saw in person how dangerous Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott are when we faced each other in the England-Brazil friendly.
"Also, Arsenal players will be in the mood to prove a point. Bayern will have to keep up their guard. I have watched the Premier League for years and learned to admire Arsenal's commitment to good football.
"You can never underestimate a team who adopt this philosophy. I have seen enough good moments from Arsenal to know they can create problems for any team."
Dante arrived at Bayern from Borussia Monchengladbach following die Roten's Champions League final defeat to Chelsea last season, and is happy with the way his colleagues have bounced back.
"It was heartbreaking and the defeat made me worry a bit about morale," he continued.
"All of a sudden, I feared walking into a very sad atmosphere. It is remarkable that the players did not think too much of what happened and I am happy to the the guys have moved on.
"I am sure that inside they are dying for another shot at the trophy, but at Bayern, you always have to be gunning for major honours."
Bayern have shipped just seven Bundesliga goals this season, and Dante is happy to have made such an impact following his move from Monchengladbach.
"We are doing well and I am quite happy that I settled into the team so quickly. But we are part of a team and we have to do things together if we are to succeed.
"People won't be in awe of us if we don't win trophies and we have to make sure we don't simply start thinking that we have won something."
Bayern have the chance to take a huge step towards European glory at 20:45CET on Tuesday.

Java creator James Gosling: "Just because Sun didn't have patent suits in our genetic code doesn't mean we didn't feel wronged. While I have differences with Oracle, in this case they are in the right. Google totally slimed Sun. We were all really disturbed, even Jonathan: he just decided to put on a happy face and tried to turn lemons into lemonade, which annoyed a lot of folks at Sun." Ouch. Also, doesn't jive with Schwartz' comments - might be illustrative of how bad things really were at the once great Sun.
