RUSH: Nation’s capital, Washington. This is Joe. Great to have you, sir. Hi.
RUSH: Do you realize that it’s attitudes like this that are guaranteeing the Republicans losing elections? That’s what we’re told. We’re told the Republicans had better abandon this kind of talk, abandon this kind of social issue stuff, including powerful Republicans, people don’t want to hear it. They gotta forget it, just like forget about enforcing immigration laws. And at the root of all of this is that we are all being told to pay no attention to the culture coming unglued. We’re told to express our concern in other ways. But I don’t know how you disagree with that. He says abortion has made us insensitive to killing?
Abortion has certainly made us insensitive to pregnancy. That was Margaret Sanger’s idea. I’m not supposed to say that either. Margaret Sanger’s idea was to convince people in America to abort their own seed, as he put it. Well, Margaret Sanger was targeting the black community, yes, that’s right. That’s politically incorrect to say. There are people watching Lincoln, the movie today, or reading commentary about it, I mean, people, elected officials who have no clue that it was Lincoln and the Republicans who freed the slaves. There’s all this talk about — the story’s somewhere in the stack — some elected Democrat as part of the budget negotiations going on, if we don’t stop the Republicans, they want to take us back to slavery. They want to take us back to the days of Lincoln, is what this guy is saving.
Well, excuse me, Lincoln freed the slaves. The Republican Party, that’s Lincoln’s party, freed the slaves. But today the truth is obscured by a pack of lies. And the lie is that no Republican ever saw a slave that he didn’t want to own, even today. That’s what the elected Democrats are out there saying. It’s like Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood is all about family planning. Yeah, but not the kind you’re thinking about. It’s called the elimination of black families. That’s what Margaret Sanger was about. Now, she’s long gone, room temperature many, many moons ago. And now Planned Parenthood, what is it? Planned Parenthood, wow, does that not sound really nice? They’re gonna teach you to plan your parenthood, plan your family. They’re gonna teach you how to do it right.
So here’s F. Chuck Todd of NBC/HBO — I just throw that in to rile ’em all up. F. Chuck Todd, NBC/HBO, telling us how smart this Obama aide is for realizing that with the Republicans and the way Washington is today, there’d still be slavery if not for the Democrats. “Interesting and depressing observation from this very smart White House aide,” who in truth doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But F. Chuck Todd doesn’t either ’cause F. Chuck thought it sounded brilliant. Because what? It fits the 50-year-old or longer narrative.
RUSH: Short Hills, New Jersey. Ellen, you’re next. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush! The impetus for my call today was that Chuck Todd comment. I used to be a Democrat, but the Democratic Party today is not my party. It’s the progressive party.
That’s what Ellen here is calling to comment about.
Okay, Ellen. Take it away.
CALLER: Okay. That being said about my past, I have never in my life seen a more clueless, unsavvy party than the Republicans. They have absolutely no strategic or communication skills. And, in my opinion, from 2007 on when Obama came on the scene. This isn’t about their inability to articulate their ideas. The biggest, most overwhelmingly problem is the media. The media plus the entertainment/fashion industry.
If they’re not biased, they’re not interested in debating ideas or putting everybody’s ideas out there. You know, they’re basically what you always talk about. They’re an arm of the Democratic Party, and I think that the Republicans have missed the boat. They allow the lies to be repeated, repeated, repeated, so the low-information voters just repeat those things as gospel.
RUSH: Okay, look, there’s no question that she’s right. The low-information voters believe all of this stuff. This guy that F. Chuck Todd talks about? I guarantee you, people watching that network are running around today believing that Obama is saving this country from slavery again by denying the Republicans their way.
RUSH: No, wait. Ellen, hang on just a second. They understand it. They just don’t think they can. There’s no mystery about what the media is, and the Republicans clearly understand. The mistake they make is believing that they can change the media’s mind or make the media like them or make the media not criticize them, rather than attempt to defeat the media. They will not, in any way, do that.
RUSH: Well, now, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. There is one. It’s Paul Ryan’s.
RUSH: Well, now, why are you laughing?
CALLER: Well, why? Because the media portrays it as Obama’s.
RUSH: No, they don’t. They portray it as racism, sexism, bigotry, poverty, homophobia. They lie about it. Look, it’s one thing… Ellen, for 25 years I’ve had people call here and complain about the media. “What are you gonna do about it?” If you’ve got the answer, you could become a trillionaire.
RUSH: Are you telling me that you would oppose an income of a trillion dollars because of the tax rate?
CALLER: No. (giggling) No, no. Not me.
RUSH: No. Of course not.
CALLER: The thing is that I think these people have to be challenged. They cannot let those lies stay out there. They cannot repeat that stuff like Chuck Todd did today. The Republicans are allowing these statements to be perpetuated.
CALLER: So the stereotype continues.
CALLER: I think it’s getting worse.
RUSH: Yeah, they’re counting on people like me to refute it.
RUSH: Wait a minute. Now, it’s… (sigh) I know exactly what you’re saying and why. The problem with reaching a low-information voter… I’d ask myself, “If I had a room full of ’em, okay, what would I do? What would be the first thing I did? What would be my plan to try to talk what I believe is sense into them?” I don’t know what it would be until I actually got in the room and started talking to ’em. But I guarantee you it wouldn’t be long that I’d be throwing my hands up in total frustration and say, “It’s not even worth it.” I don’t know. It’s an interesting point that you raise. I fantasize… Folks, I shouldn’t say this, but I sometimes think about buying an hour of national TV and making a televised speech to the nation.

partners of a corporate limited partnership.
Members may be individuals or other entities.
Only Australian resident taxpayers can claim a tax offset for a franking credit attached to a distribution. For non-residents, a distribution is exempt from withholding tax to the extent that it's franked.
eligible superannuation funds, approved deposit funds and pooled superannuation trusts.
A franked distribution made to partnerships and trusts is generally treated as flowing indirectly to the partners or beneficiaries respectively. The taxable amount is the distribution grossed up by the amount of the franking credit, but only the ultimate recipients of the distribution, who are assessed on the share of the net income that flows indirectly to them, are entitled to the tax offset.
income tax exempt charities and deductible gift recipients.
A tax offset can be used to reduce the tax liability from all forms of income (not just dividends) and from any taxable capital gain. Excess franking credit tax offsets may be refundable for some members where their marginal tax rate is less than the corporate tax rate.
An individual’s marginal rate of tax varies according to their taxable income so the tax payable on a grossed-up distribution may exceed the franking credit attached to a distribution. In this case they will have an additional tax liability on the distribution which is sometimes referred to as 'top up' tax.
However, a corporate tax entity receiving a distribution doesn't pay additional tax because the corporate tax rate (30%) results in the same taxable amount as the credit attached to a fully franked distribution. The income has already been fully taxed at the level of the corporate tax entity making the distribution.
A corporate tax entity that receives a distribution also receives a credit to its franking account. This credit can be passed on (imputed) to its members through a distribution.
On 15 August 2015, Edwards Pty Ltd receives a franked distribution of $700 with $300 franking credits attached.
Edwards Pty Ltd includes $1,000 ($700 franked distribution plus $300 franking credits) in its assessable income and is entitled to a $300 tax offset to reduce its income tax liability.
In addition, on 15 August 2015 Edwards Pty Ltd generates a franking credit of $300 in its franking account.
Special rules may apply where a recipient is a member of a consolidated group or a multiple entry consolidated (MEC) group.
A resident company that is wholly owned by a non-resident company that receives an unfranked non-portfolio dividend from other resident companies may be entitled to a deduction. This is subject to certain conditions. The deduction is equal to the amount of any unfranked non-portfolio dividend that it pays on to its non-resident parent.
If you're an Australian corporate tax entity who receives (directly or indirectly) foreign sourced income, you may declare some or all of a frankable (whether actually franked or not) distribution to be conduit foreign income. This is to the extent it is conduit foreign income in accordance with Subdivision 802-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
another Australian corporate tax entity – that corporate tax entity may pass on that conduit foreign income to its members. The distribution statement must specify the portion of the unfranked part of the distribution that is declared to be conduit foreign income.
If an individual resident member receives a distribution declared to be conduit foreign income, that distribution is treated like any other unfranked distribution.
Where Australian-resident members of a corporate entity, such as shareholders, receive a franked distribution, they include both the distribution and any franking credit in their assessable income, and then claim a tax offset equal to the franking credit.

Alteration in taste is one of the most common symptoms associated with cancer and chemotherapy treatments and is often a significant contributor to anorexia-cachexia syndrome. Patients receiving chemotherapy may experience sensations of unpleasant taste (dysgeusia), loss of taste (ageusia), or decreased taste sensation (hypogeusia). Dysgeusia, the most commonly reported change,8 may be due to diffusion of drug into the oral cavity.
Little is known about the chronic effects of chemotherapy on taste, although the literature suggests that dysgeusia is reversible, with taste sensation returning to normal in the ensuing months.8,10 Taste dysfunction seems to occur with equal frequency between oral and intravenous chemotherapy.
Simple dietary changes as well as the addition of certain spices and flavorings can make food taste better and less offensive. Figure 1 suggests techniques for managing taste change in patients with cancer.
Risk factor assessment and nutritional screening are essential for early identification of patients at risk. A complete history should be obtained, including pre-illness and current dietary habits, current disease status, medications, functional status, income level, social and psychological factors, cognitive function, and possible side effects of treatment.
A listing of patient- and nurse-suggested self-care techniques for adapting to and coping with taste changes is included as an appendix in an article by Rehwaldt et al.10 Offering this self-care list to patients who have experienced or are at risk for treatment- or disease-related taste changes may serve as an intervention assessment tool. The list also provides a checklist for discussion with patients regarding techniques that do or do not work for each individual patient.
Most patients with anorexia-cachexia syndrome have advanced cancer; therefore, supportive strategies should emphasize a palliative approach. Figure 3 lists strategies for managing weight loss in patients with cancer.

A huge Internet outrage has erupted in the wake of GoDaddy's latest commercial leak online of what was apparently going to be their Superbowl commercial. Which has now been pulled.
In what appears to be a clear attempt to court sadist and sociopathic customers, they tell the tale of the abandoned puppy that desperately tries to find its way back to its owner (a GoDaddy customer) who expresses excitement at the puppy returning home after its arduous journey so she can ship it off to someone who bought it off her GoDaddy web site... yes... WHAT?
Watch the video - we have it here. GoDaddy has pulled it from the Internet.

There is no doubt artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world. I am reminded of this in my own life every day. Siri can tell me anything I need to know in a matter of seconds, Waze tells me the fastest route to get where I need to go, and Uber matches me with a ride when I don’t want to drive. My children are digital natives who don’t remember a time when you had to consult with a paper map if you got lost. It amazes me how quickly AI has changed the way we go about our lives, helping to make us faster and more efficient.
As I walked around the massive show floor at HIMSS19 in Orlando, Florida last month, it was clear that artificial intelligence (AI), consumerism and consumer engagement are also the new normal for health care. As AI matures, it is poised to touch nearly every area of health care from clinical decision support and operational efficiencies to patient engagement. AI and other technology is also helping providers transition from traditional care models to meet the demands of value-based care and consumerism. A study from NRC Health and CHRISTUS Health reveals that convenience is now the number one factor that influences a consumer’s decision in a care provider. Virtual health, online and mobile offerings, wearables, sensors and other digital technologies are necessary tools for empowering consumers and clinicians in this changing landscape.
Additionally, data science and increasing partnerships are driving innovation in many industries. For example, supermarket chain Kroger Co. has teamed up with robotics company Nuro to offer self-driving vehicle grocery delivery at some of its locations. At the store, employees receive customers’ online or mobile app orders and load the self-driving vehicles with the selected items. When it arrives at the delivery destination, customers get an alert and a code to unlock the vehicle. As this represents a new frontier in the grocery shopping experience, partnerships in health care are also creating significant innovations and solutions that could revolutionize the entire industry.
In the latest edition of Perspectives, we focus on the ways that organizations are adapting to and embracing new technology and ideas to move forward in this dynamic era of health care. Intermountain Healthcare and Royal Free London Group are standardizing their methods of care to provide better outcomes and streamline costs. Children’s Hospital of Orange County is using data analytics to better predict which patients are at risk for readmission. Also in this issue, we get a look at how Geisinger is using food as medicine for type 2 diabetes patients and drastically reducing the cost of managing this chronic condition.
Agility is crucial as we adapt to the technological, financial and cultural shifts that are shaping the industry. While these are challenging times, they are also exciting times. The current transformation in the business of health and care has set us on a journey toward a not too distance future in which AI, consumerism, data analytics and unconventional partnerships will be fixtures of the health care operating model. As we continue our pursuit of smarter care and better outcomes, we must prepare ourselves for what’s next.
Perspectives is a digital content destination that examines health care’s most pressing and important topics. The latest set of articles focusing on value in health care, as well as past content, is available at Cerner.com/Perspectives.

My sister lives there and they are having the worst winter in at least 15 years. Weeks of rain and all 3 dams have burst their banks. Lots of floods and its cold.They are lucky in that their house is up some steps from the road. I saw a video of someone travelling up the Troodos mountain- its piled high with snow and you need snow chains and a 4wd. She came back at christmas for some better weather!

If Almondo Sewell is going to add to what’s already become a career-best streak of five straight games with a sack, he will have to do it against the Canadian Football League’s stingiest pass protection.
The Edmonton Eskimos defensive tackle has been on a tear recently, stringing together the streak to sit at a total of six sacks on the season.
The thing is, his only other one came all the way back during opening week, leading to a dry spell that lasted nine games, fuelled in part by a rib injury that forced him to sit out the only game he’s missed all season.
While he’s since gotten much healthier and has been making up for lost time, this week could prove his most challenging given the fact the Calgary Stampeders have allowed a league-low 21 sacks on the season, five ahead of the Eskimos in second place.
On the flip side, the Stampeders have earned a league-high 114 quarterback pressures, while Edmonton sits second with 110.
“Man, they pay me all the money, I better get them sacks,” said Sewell, a CFL All-star each of the past four seasons. “I give all the credit to (defensive line) coach (Casey) Creehan. He’s on the practice field every day with us, keeping us all under control and telling us to get off the ball, get up the field, disrupt the quarterback.

My research interests are focused on the utilization of molecular tools and techniques to aid in the conservation and management of our native fisheries. Additionally, I am interested in studying how landscape-level variation shapes genetic population structuring.
During the course of my dissertation research, I will be studying brook trout across the state of Connecticut. Brook trout are native throughout much of the east coast and are known for their restriction to cold, clear, pristine stream habitat. Due to a number of factors, including riparian development and habitat degradation, and other anthropogenic impacts, they are often times limited to small, isolated populations in headwater streams where conditions remain suitable. This isolation limits the potential for gene flow across a landscape, which can lead to reduced genetic diversity and can impact the sustainability of local populations.
This research is funded by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environment (DEEP) throught the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants Program. I will be working with the DEEP Inland Fisheries Division, who have been extensively studying Connecticut’s brook trout populations for decades. During my research I will be advised by Dr. Jason Vokoun at UConn and Dr. Amy Welsh at West Virginia University.

The decision to replace locks is brilliant but if you are cutting corners and trying to hire amateurs for installation, brace up for not only sub-standard services but also recurring expenditure. For instance, the locks, if not properly setup, may not function as required. To make matters worse what would you do, if they suddenly break down in spite of being new? The expenses would increase manifold, but you can escape all of that by obtaining the lock changing service of Lakeridge Heights Locksmith Store in the area.
Well, if you are completely in the dark as to what locks you require, get in touch with Lakeridge Heights Locksmith Store in area personally for lock changing or dial 860-365-2053 and call one of our esteemed professionals onsite.

Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought. A theory however elegant and economical must be rejected or revised if it is untrue; likewise laws and institutions no matter how efficient and well-arranged must be reformed or abolished if they are unjust. Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. For this reason justice denies that the loss of freedom for some is made right by a greater good shared by others. It does not allow that the sacrifices imposed on a few are outweighed by the larger sum of advantages enjoyed by many. Therefore in a just society the liberties of equal citizenship are taken as settled; the rights secured by justice are not subject to political bargaining or to the calculus of social interests. The only thing that permits us to acquiesce in an erroneous theory is the lack of a better one; analogously, an injustice is tolerable only when it is necessary to avoid an even greater injustice. Being first virtues of human activities, truth and justice are uncompromising.

One of the challenges in meeting the needs of corporate clients is the request for happy music. This was the case for Mail Boxes Etc. The solution to compose "happy music" is not as simple as choosing a major key signature because the resulting composition can be hideously cheesy and undermine the branding of the company.
Through experience, I have observed that when clients request happy music they do not mean music that sounds happy but music that makes people feel happy. It is surprising that there is a difference and it is that difference that makes the composer's job difficult.
Compose a similar piece with the same ingredients and juxtapose it with a corporate promo and you will not necessarily produce the feeling of happiness. Much of the feel good quality of popular music comes from familiarity, unbroken rhythm and association with a famous artist. Take away the celebrity and the notoriety and you are left with music. And - more often than not - in isolation to those factors, it will not produce happy feelings.
It is not possible to write a piece of faux popular music for a corporate video because it will still lack the celebrity identity of the musician and the track's pre-existing place in culture. So how to solve the problem?
When a popular work is used by big business as soundtrack to adverts, the music plays, regardless of the images. And so I apply the same technique to corporate needs. It is not as much scoring as writing a piece of music that runs as though on tracks. It does not hit points as score should. It maintains a continuous rhythm and exploits tiny variations to avoid becoming tedious. This is not about optimum scoring, as though a composer is commissioned to be an artiste. This is about accommodating to a client's perception. And the one problem every composer faces in corporate work is that most clients like music, perhaps play music and regard themselves as expert enough to be far more critical than they would in another sphere of production.
The end result in this case is wallpaper music that is hardly perceived at all, but fills a gap with a warm and positive vibe.

T. BOONE PICKENS HAS LIVED AROUND OIL his entire life and made billions off of the commodity. Lately, his decadelong push toward cleaner alternative energy that relies less on foreign oil has been turning green.
Pickens is known for founding Mesa Petroleum in the 1950s and building it into one of the largest global independent oil companies through a series of mergers and acquisitions. He is also the founder and an active manager of BP Capital Management, which manages two hedge funds investing in energy futures and stocks. As of June 30, BP Capital had $856.7 million in assets across 20 publicly traded securities.
And with the spotlight on the environment, Pickens has been making a big push this year toward alternative energy sources, including announcing plans to build the nation's largest wind project in Texas.
On Tuesday, the 79-year-old Texas oil maven rang the opening bell at the Nasdaq as a co-founder and largest shareholder of Clean Energy Fuels , along with Andrew Littlefair, the company's chief executive officer. The pair formed Clean Energy's predecessor company a decade ago to acquire the natural-gas fueling businesses of Mesa Petroleum and Southern California Gas Co.
Barron's Online caught up with Pickens and Littlefair at the Nasdaq this week. The pair talked about how the small-cap company is gaining momentum as the leading provider of natural gas to transportation fleets, including garbage trucks, city buses, taxi cabs and airport vehicles. Pickens controls a 60% stake in the company, including 15 million underlying warrants, as of June 30.
Pickens also offers his take on natural-gas and oil prices, and what he considers the best investment bet in the energy sector right now.
Barron's Online: You started building Clean Energy a decade ago. Are your consumers receptive to using greener vehicles?
Pickens: We struggled to start with it in 1997 to sell the fuel as cheaper, cleaner and a domestic fuel. I thought that was a pitch that would sell, but it didn't. So here we are 10 years later [and] it's sold now. We bought three stations in 1997. Now we have 183 stations and build 20 to 40 stations a year. We burn 80% to 90% cleaner than gasoline.
Q: What kind of demand do you see?
Littlefair: We see the business accelerating right now. Almost every major airport in the U.S. has a natural-gas program, and it's because emissions are so much cleaner. As they expand airports you have to mitigate those airplane emissions so they turn to clean vehicles. The way it is working in the U.S. is that natural gas is being introduced in the fleets. For example the Port of Los Angeles wants 5,300 LNG [liquefied natural gas] heavy-duty trucks running. I really think that is going to kick off more and more heavy-duty trucks using the fuel. We will see it in the regional-trucking business because it's cheaper.
What I think Boone was getting at is that years ago people didn't care about domestic fuel that much, and they didn't care about being green. And the economics were just OK, but today the economics are phenomenal.
Q: What's to say natural-gas vehicles will gain this type of wider traction?
Pickens: Well, analogous to the port are airports because the first airport that did this was Sky Harbor in Phoenix, then LAX [Los Angeles International], now there are 18 airports in the U.S. that have gone through a natural-gas program. The same thing is going to happen with the ports like in Los Angeles.
Littlefair: Let me give you another way to look at it. Ten or 11 years ago you had a handful of buses in the U.S. on natural gas. Today almost 25% of all transit buses are natural gas. So that's pretty good penetration when you think about it, 2.5% growth a year. The same thing's going to happen to refuse trucks. There are 200,000 trash trucks in the U.S.; 2,000 of them are now operating on natural gas. So you only have 1% [penetration], but you will see 2%-3% growth a year.
Boone: It's a fabulous market for us.
Littlefair: It's huge. That's 200,000 trash trucks that use two billion gallons of fuel. So scale can be pretty big.
Q: Do they get similar mileage as gasoline trucks?
Littlefair: They do. Our natural gas has the same BTUs as a gallon of gasoline. So when we give you that $2 a gallon it's the same mileage.
Q: What type of government incentives do you get for using natural gas and how do you view competition from other sources of alternative energy?
Q: What is your outlook on natural-gas prices?
Pickens: I think natural gas is going to stay down because you actually added to the production and reserves in the U.S. this year, so there's plenty of natural gas around. With oil, 62% of it is imported and with natural gas, 3% is imported.
Littlefair: The world pressures and all those kinds of things don't apply to natural gas.
Q: Are the record prices sustainable?
Pickens: My reference point is there are 85 million barrels of oil available to the world economy every day. I don't think that's going to go up. Well, the demand for the fourth quarter is 88 million barrels a day. I'm not an economist so those are not my numbers, but I believe them to be accurate, so 85 million barrels of supply is not going to cover 88 million barrels of demand. The price has to go up and that kills demand. It's hard for me to predict at this point [regarding how much higher oil prices will go] because we have never been here before.
Q: What is your favorite energy play right now?
Pickens: I would lean in the direction of E&P [exploration and production] and I would lean toward oil because I think gas is going to have a tough time through 2008. Then gas will be a big play again.

They weren't lying when they named this place Best Pizza. If you don't believe me just read the reviews. Thin crust, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of cheese and sauce - add a few of my favorite condiments and its perfection. I had the Margherita pie with a beer - and I am not a big beer drinker, but I did enjoy it with the pizza. Yum!
Have you guys heard of Airbnb? You can read some more about it here if you have no idea what I am talking about. Mike surprised me with a one night stay at this beautiful brownstone apartment - a dream of mine is to own one - and I swear it was just like home. The owner, Micah, was amazing and I am so thankful she gave us the opportunity to stay here. The style and decor of her place is so me - seriously, it was like a dream!
The Black Swan was recommended to us by Micah so we made a stop for a quick drink to try it out. It was a very chill bar with a great happy hour special. They keep the lights dim which adds to the cool ambience. The drink I had was the Barbed Rose - it was sweet and sour and just the right amount of liquor to balance it off. I would definitely get it again.
We stumbled upon this gem of a donut place simply named Dough. WOW. I should leave it at that, that way you guys have no choice but to RUN and try it out yourselves - but I just can't. Softest, freshest, tastiest donut I've ever had in my life. I had the cinnamon sugar donut and the next time I want to try the passion fruit (and the time after that the...) But do prepare to wait - their donuts sell out pretty fast.
I couldn't be in the area and not visit my friends over at Myrtle Drug Care Corp. This is the only pharmacy in Brooklyn you should be going to. They have the best customer service and really care about their clients. I'm not just saying it because the pharmacist is one of my best friends - I'm saying it because her and her staff truly are amazing and I love them oh so very much.
Lastly, the train is only a couple blocks away from where we were staying and was a quick 25 min trip to the city where I saw this AWESOME musical. You'll love the genie!
Anyone have any suggestions on places to visit in Brooklyn? I need to know for the next time I return! Leave them in the comments below!

These are securities issued by a government or private company. If issued by a State are called Treasury bonds or Bills. They represent liability capital, and their basic characteristic is fixed return at maturity, which leads to lower risk. Theoretically, fixed income assets are associated to risk-free assets. Return for these assets can be summarised by the term structure, graphically represented by the yield curve. The yield curve shows the risk-free return associated with fixed income assets at different maturities. Fixed income assets can be switched to a stock according to pre-defined rules.
where the first right-hand side is the present fixed interest discounted by the interest rate , the second right-hand side is the discounted reimbursement value . The sum of these two values in equilibrium must be equal to in the left-hand side value (issue price).
If market interest rates do not change over time, the left-hand side always equals the right-hand side for the interest rate in each t up to maturity. This is also a necessary condition to issue the asset in the primary market in .
In the interest rate in the market can change. This leads to a market interest rate that is different from the asset interest rate . If differs from , and with fixed and , then changes. The market demands that the return for the asset aligns with the market return (this condition holds for a market without arbitrage possibilities). This can happen only if changes. The new will be higher than if the interest rate in the market is lower, and lower than if the market interest rate is higher. This mechanism defines the fixed income return in the secondary market. It is worth noting that at issuance, equals by definition. It is not possible to issue a fixed asset with a different interest rate from that of the market rate. The way to represent the fixed income interest rate at different maturities is the term structure. The graphic representation is the yield curve.
Graphic representation of the term structure through the yield curve of State/ American Government bond/bill market (May 20, 2005).
The term structure represents information set for the market. The main theories that explain the structure are: i) expectation theory, ii) segmented market, and iii) liquidity premium. Each theory attempts to define and explain the slope and the modifications over time.

Return the indices of unmasked elements that are not zero.
The result of this is always a 2d array, with a row for each non-zero element.
Indices can also be grouped by element.
A common use for nonzero is to find the indices of an array, where a condition is True. Given an array a, the condition a > 3 is a boolean array and since False is interpreted as 0, ma.nonzero(a > 3) yields the indices of the a where the condition is true.
The nonzero method of the condition array can also be called.

Choosing the correct company to install the new fence is vital. You will want them to be extremely experienced, highly skilled and willing to work.
The installers that you ultimately choose should understand that the job Is putting a boundary around your property and the craftsmanship must be to a very high standard, the fence should also be structurally safe as it will be your responsibly as the home owner.
To find the perfect company to do the job you could look through the telephone book but that method is becoming outdated very fast. We recommend that you do an online search, you will soon land at one of the many review and rating websites. These offer previous customers of the companies to rate on how well the job was done and also if they think the price was acceptable.
It is possible you will land on a review website, these can be a great place but be very careful as companies can and will leave positive reviews for their own company.
A good company will come to the property and discuss your requirements including the type of fence you require, the materials used and the time scale. The contractor will measure for the fence and give you a written estimate with all the details of the type of fence, materials used, if you require gates and what type they are an example would be palisade gates and the final cost.
We don't advise you to trust any company that is not willing to come to your property, take a look at the job and give you an estimate in writing. These companies generally give an estimate over the phone or email but it is not possible to give a price without first looking at the job.
When you have at least 3 estimates you should consider if one is far cheaper than the others, if it is you should steer clear of this one. The materials may be of lower quality or the fence installers will not be as skilled and as experienced, this giving a far lower quality fence at the end.

I'm interested in finding out what kind of markings are on the wood stocks of WWII Thompsons. My commando from Kahr had some original military wood underneath all that black paint Kahr uses. The forearm was marked with a 'P' and apparently was in the Brits hands at one time because the plugged holes where a sling swivel used to be was also visible on the left side of the forearm when I stripped that black paint.
I've since removed that forearm and replaced it with one of Dan's oversized forearms since I had the barrel shortened. But to continue the military look of my Kahr I've added a 'P' in the same place as that on the original wood.
Now to continue dressing up my Tommy, I'd like to know if any of you WWII Tommy owners would describe any further markings that might be on the wood of you guns. Any cartouches or (especially interested in) any inspector initials visible on yours? Did the military place the same kinds of markings on Tommys as you find on Garands and carbines? Obviously the 'P' on mine is common to garands & carbines. Anything else?
I just want to finish putting the "trim" on my gun.
My forearms are marked "S" for Savage. My buttstocks are marked "W" for Wild Fowler Decoy, Saybrook, Massachusetts and "B" for Milton Bradley,Springfield, Massachusetts.
Buttstock= V for Vulcan Corp of Effington IL. J for Jewell Bros Winston, CT. ULC for United Last of Lawrence, MASS.
My buttstock has "MR" stamped on it for Mt. Rainier Arsenal where it was reworked. The forearm has the "S" and I think that is it, but I'll hav to look. But it does have the marks where a barrel band had been on it at one time, so I got another and put it on.
Thanks for the info, and the pic was great for showing location. Looks like all are manf's marks. Did the stocks not have to pass some inspector and receive their initials like you find on garands? Are there references which identify the markings on Thompson wood? Sorry for all the questions. I'm a bit new to the details about the Tommy. If you could only have one book on the Thompson, what should it be?
The best book to buy for the Thompson?
Lots more information about the guns in Franks book.
M1A1 with cross-bolt buttstock stamped "P" (for proof testing post rebuild, I assume) and "AA" for Augusta Arsenal where rebuild took place. The "AA" is preceeded by what I assume are the initials of the Augusta inspector at the time.

Denis McManus, Heidegger and the Measure of Truth: Themes from His Early Philosophy, Oxford University Press, 2013, $75.00 (hbk), 272pp., ISBN 9780199694877.
Denis McManus proposes an approach to Heidegger's early thought that centers on Heidegger's understanding of how the phenomenon of truth is tied to practice. McManus argues that Heidegger's philosophy is much closer to that of the later Wittgenstein than is commonly supposed, that he is not offering a philosophical system, but rather proposing a manner of disciplining our philosophical reflection by attending carefully to the diverse ways in which we find ourselves responsive to the world around us. This is a bold, exciting, and challenging approach. It is accessible to those already steeped in 20th century European philosophy and those who are not. As is always the case in interpreting an author as difficult as Heidegger, there is plenty of room to nitpick with the interpretation, but I will avoid doing so. I will, nonetheless, raise a couple of worries about it.
If Dreyfus's true goal is not to take the view from sideways on, but rather to reject it, then the conclusion is not that there must be a background of engaged coping that explains and grounds cognition so conceived, but rather that cognition is not what it has traditionally been conceived to be and does not in turn require grounding in a background. And if this is right, the concept of the "background" makes no sense either, as it is drawn in contrast with detached cognition. McManus's objections to this aspect of Dreyfus's interpretation of Heidegger are detailed, careful, and forceful, perhaps even fatal.
If Dreyfus's approach to the primacy of practice is wrong, then how should it be understood? McManus turns to one of Heidegger's enduring preoccupations: the notion of truth. He agrees with those commentators (notably, Mark Wrathall) who argue that Heidegger does not substitute a new-fangled notion of truth for the traditional theory of "correspondence," as, e.g., verificationists do. Rather, Heidegger argues that the common-sense notion of truth as corresponding or conforming to the world relies upon practices of measuring such conformity. The question, "Does this statement correspond to the facts?" has meaning only in the context of a practice of assessing that putative correspondence. To be in a position to assess whether "Roy Hibbert is 7′ 2″ tall" is true, one must know how to measure his height. To know how to do this is to know, among other things, that the tape measure must be drawn straight up, rather than across his body, while Hibbert is standing straight, rather than slouching. Think of the difference between measuring a computer screen, which is done diagonally, and measuring a person's height. Thus, a practice of measuring is presupposed by the question, "How tall is Hibbert?" as well as by any answer to such a question. McManus is not expansive about what form of presupposition this is, though he does refer the reader to his previous work on Wittgenstein.
Traditional approaches that ignore the primacy of practice in McManus's sense don't so much offer false theories of truth as treat truth as an abstraction. Think of the famous Aristotelian slogan, embraced by Heidegger, that "Being is said in many ways." Truth is said in many ways as well. This doesn't mean that there is more than one definition of truth, nor different kinds of truth. Rather, the practices for assessing truth vary from proposition to proposition and object-domain to object-domain, as in the example of measuring height. Traditional philosophy seized upon the univocity of the predicate "is true" and treated truth as if it made sense independently of any practical implementation. In Heideggerian language, the tradition treated truth as a free-floating theoretical construct. Thus, when philosophers have tried to offer accounts of truth, say, by positing a relation between a non-real content and a real state of affairs in the world, they haven't actually explained anything. Rather, they have taken a view "from sideways on," in that they first abstract the phenomenon of truth from the practical context in which it arises, and then propose a constructive theory to explain how non-real contents can be re-connected to the world to which they refer.
McManus sees the same dynamic at work in traditional metaphysics, as well as in commentators on Heidegger who approach him as if he were offering an ontology in anything like a traditional sense. Many commentators, myself included, have understood Heidegger to distinguish several regions of being (the present-at-hand, the ready-to-hand, human being) and then (perhaps) to (aim to) address the neo-Aristotelian or Scholastic question, "What is the unity of these manifold ways of being?" perhaps via the notion of Temporality (Temporalität). McManus argues that this is a mistake. The present-at-hand is not a distinctive region of being that may or may not be dependent on the ready-to-hand. Rather, it is the object-correlate of an experience in which we fail to distinguish the many ways in which being can be said. The present-at-hand is an abstraction, rather than a region of being. In Division I, chapter 3, Heidegger shows by way of the example of equipment that we can only understand what an entity is by asking how we grasp it. We understand equipment by putting it to use. It does not follow that "objects of use" are a special ontological domain, somehow more basic than the objects of science. Rather, philosophers should explore how it is in practice that science allows us to encounter its objects, a project Heidegger called an "existential" account of science. What is the measure of truth embodied in scientific practice? The answer to that question might well be that there are many such measures. There is no a priori reason to suppose that the objects of physics, biology, and ecology are disclosed in the same way and that those disciplines have a single, uniform measure of truth. The supposition that they must is a way of being in the grip of the illusion of the present-at-hand.
To motivate this position, McManus first examines and rejects some of the received interpretations of the ontology of the ready-to-hand and present-at-hand. He considers a great many ways of drawing the distinction and argues that none of them works out in detail. In some cases, I would argue, his examination is too quick. In particular, I do not see a clear case against one of the standard approaches (full disclosure: one for which I have argued): that the ready-to-hand is what it is only in virtue of its defining role in human practices, whereas the present-at-hand is what it is independently of any such role it might accidentally play. McManus offers two objections here: First, there is a wide range of cases, and only certain paradigm cases (such as tools and quasars) fall neatly onto one side or the other of this distinction. This is a challenge, but not a refutation, and I have tried to address it by offering an account of what Heidegger means by "involvement" that generalizes from equipmental functionality. McManus asks whether this concept is "well-understood" (72), but does not argue that it is not, unless the second argument is meant to do that. Second, he argues that paradigmatic present-at-hand properties, such as weight and length, are only understood by the way in which they are measured. It might be true that if one had no idea how to measure weight, one would have no useful understanding of the concept thereof. It hardly follows, however, that an object's weight depends on the practice of measuring it, or any human practices at all, for that matter. But surely the appropriateness of a vase as a wedding gift depends entirely on the practices of weddings and gift-giving on which it depends. So, McManus has raised a serious challenge, but he has not succeeded in decisively undermining such an account.
He suggests that phenomenology is a matter of paying attention in this way, and that it's an approach to philosophizing that Heidegger shares not only with Husserl, but also Wittgenstein. Paying attention to and analyzing the structure of "what we say and do," in particular in so far as we are able to encounter an object of this sort or that (equipment, electrons, other people, communities, etc.) is attending to the constitution of those objects or object-domains.
A final and not insignificant virtue of McManus's reading is that he also manages to tie in Heidegger's early forays into the phenomenology of religion. As he sees it, Heidegger was not attempting to import theological doctrine into philosophy, nor to smuggle in a "crypto-Christianity" in existentialist clothing. Rather, Heidegger noticed early on in the context of religious experience that philosophers tended to ignore the measures of truth that are embodied in religious practice, such as those of "faithful, loving, serving expectation in sadness and joy" (20, quoting the religion lectures). Instead, they treat religion as a set of beliefs about the present-at-hand. McManus views Heidegger as generalizing the early insight he gained about the diversity of measures of truth in the context of the phenomenology of religion.
Let me end by raising a preliminary worry about McManus's notion of the measure of truth. He charges that much traditional philosophy levels off truth and correlatively all modes of being to an abstraction. One might worry that the metaphor of a "measure" of truth, along with McManus's use of examples of literally measuring length, run the same risk. I know what it is to determine whether Hibbert is 7′ 2″ by measuring his height. I don't know what it is to assess the truth of "The president of the US is popularly elected," or "That was not a very nice thing to do," or "That MacBook Pro is expensive" by measuring. I have an idea how to figure out whether they are true, but I have no clear sense of how doing so is in each case a form of "measurement," or what the metaphor of measurement conveys across the range of examples. It must have something to do with having standards of correctness, and the metaphor of a measure is a fine place to start. But we will eventually need more than a metaphor; we'll need an account of how standards operate in our practices that are beholden to truth. As frustrating to some as Heidegger's elusive language of "primordial truth" and "disclosedness" may be, it could well be motivated by a desire to resist obscuring the phenomenon of truth by means of an over-broad metaphor.
In sum, then, Heidegger and the Measure of Truth is a powerful and challenging book, one with which all future discussion of Being and Time will have to reckon. It is, in my assessment, one of the best and most important books written on Heidegger over the past decade, and it establishes McManus as a leading interpreter of Heidegger's early thought.
J. McDowell, "Non-Cognitivism and Rule-Following," 1981.
H. Dreyfus, "Overcoming the Myth of the Mental," APA Pacific Division Presidential Address, 2005.
To be clear: specifically the thesis that a background is needed to ground cognition. McManus's arguments do not target the positive phenomenology of "intuitive expertise" and "engaged coping," for which Dreyfus has become justly famous.
I have argued (in my Reader's Guide to "Being and Time" (Continuum, 2006)) that it is at least misleading to describe the traditional notion in question as a "correspondence theory of truth."

What is a reader focus group?
The typical setting for reader analytics is to organise a group of readers, usually 200 to 500 individuals strong, and offer them a free ebook in exchange for their digital reading data. This can be done before a book is published, provided there is a (near) final manuscript ready for distribution. It can also be done at any time after the publication date, but then you will need to pay attention to possible exclusivity provisions of retail channels that you use, such as KDP Select (Jellybooks is technically speaking not a retailer and does not necessarily fall under some of the exclusivity provisions). One option is to organize a test reading focus group while you are conducting a promotional give-away.
Typically, 80-90% of those who sign up to participate will download the ebook (some hesitate providing their gender and age, which is mandatory in the focus groups we organise). About 40-60% of those participating will send reading data to Jellybooks. Why not 100%? Well some readers forget about the book, have other things come up or are “sneaky bastards” (a.k.a. “freeloaders”) who read on a Kindle even though we can’t collect any reading data from Kindles and clearly say so. However, like any business oriented professional you know that a certain level of “losses” and “leakage” is the cost of doing business. That’s life, but Jellybooks continues to come up with ways of minimising such “leakage” by improving the overall user experience and maximising conversion ratios. We also occasionally” shame” such freeloaders and in cases of serial abuse ban them outright form the platform.
This is the percentage of readers who actually finish your book. In calculating the completion rate Jellybooks only counts those who actually started reading the book (those who downloaded without reading are excluded). Participants who registered and/or downloaded the book without starting reading or sending us reading data are not included in the calculation.
The completion rate is the strongest measures of how captivating your book really is. We measure this engagement number separately for men and woman, young and old, so you can better understand what kind of reader is engaging with the book. Is more popular with younger or with older readers, woman or men, mobile phone or tablet users?
One of the key concepts is that readers who don’t finish your book, will not recommend it to others. This is an observation Jellybooks has made across hundreds of focus groups. It may sound very logical and intuitive, but is still often overlooked: you should care not just about your books selling, but also about buyers actually reading your book, because only engaged readers recommend a book to others. Buyers who don’t finish your book will not recommend it. That means no word-of-mouth and as a consequence you will have to hand-sell each book individually liked a sued car salesman.
We don’t just provide you with the completion rate, but also the completion curve. This is a graph that shows you reader engagement chapter by chapter. It allows where the decline in engagement occurs. Typically readers make up their mind in the first 100 pages and the attention decline should be in the first 100 pages, but it is possible you might be losing them later I the book because your middle part is unnecessarily long-winded? The completion curve along with survey responses give you an insight as to where and why readers give up on your book.
This is an adaptation of the Net Promoter Score (NPS). We ask readers the question “Would you recommend this to book to a friend?” after they have finished the book. readers can answer the question with “definitely”, “possibly”, “probably not” and “ definitely not”. Those who answer “definitely” are the promoters of your book and those who answer “probably” or “definitely not” are the detractors. Those who answer “possibly” are really just sitting on the fence and hence classified as “neutrals”. Your recommendation factor is the difference between the percentage of promoters and. So 60% answering definitely, 30% saying “possibly” and 10% saying “probably not” would be a recommendation factor of 50% (60% minus 10%). A score of 100% would be heaven. It means you have hordes of raving fans who will tell their friends how fantastic your book is. A percentage of 0% means that your promoters and your detractors balance each other. Your book probably doesn’t have too much viral potential and a negative recommendation factor is outright scary. However, it might also mean that you conducted the focus group with readers who just don’t dig your genre or your book. You are basically much more niche than you thought. It is important to know who your dream reader is. He or she is the reader who will gush to friends in their circle about your books. It is better to hit a small group of super engaged and enthusiastic readers who spread the word than getting lost in an ocean of indifference.
This is a measure of how well suited the cover with respect with to the content of your book. After they finished the book, we ask readers if the content met the expectations that were raised by the cover. We don’t ask readers if the cover is pretty or would make them pick the book (have a special form of A/B test to measure how covers influence what readers select). Instead we ask the question “Did the cover deliver what it promised”. There is no point having a cover seducing readers with the promise of romance, when the book is actually about crime. Packaging that does not deliver what is inside leads to disappointed readers and unhappy book buyers don’t rave about your book. Poorly chosen covers were a leading cause why great books did not sell in the reader analytics tests we have conducted with leading publishers. Even the professionals get this wrong! Don’t be too clever, focus on standing out without falling into the trap of “false advertising”.

The Complainant is BellSouth Intellectual Property Corporation, Wilmington, Delaware, United�States�of�America.
The Respondent is Michele Dinoia, SZK.com, Pineto, Italy.
The disputed domain name at issue (hereinafter the Domain Name) is <wwwfastaccess.com>.
The registrar of the Domain Name is OnlineNIC Inc. d/b/a China-Channel.com, San�Francisco, California, United�States�of�America.
On June�30,�2004, the Complainant filed a complaint (hereinafter the�“Complaint”) with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (hereinafter the�“Center”). The Complaint was received by e-mail on June�30,�2004. The hardcopy of the Complaint was received on July�2,�2004.
On July�1,�2004, the Center transmitted by e-mail the Acknowledgement of Receipt of the Complainant. On the same day, the Center also transmitted to OnlineNIC, Inc. d/b/a China-Channel.com the Request for Registrar Verification, in connection with the Domain Name at issue. On July�2,�2004, OnlineNIC, Inc. d/b/a China-Channel.com transmitted by e-mail to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details for the administrative, billing, and technical contact.
In response to a notification by the Center that the Complaint was administratively deficient, the Complainant filed an amendment to the Complaint on July�12,�2004. The Center verified that the Complaint, together with the amendment to the Complaint, satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (hereinafter the�“Policy”), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (hereinafter the�“Rules”), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (hereinafter the “Supplemental�Rules”).
In accordance with the Rules, Paragraphs�2(a) and 4(a), the Center formally notified the Respondent of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on July�13,�2004. In accordance with the Rules, Paragraph�5(a), the due date for Response was August�2,�2004. The Respondent did not submit any response. Accordingly, the Center notified the Respondent’s default on August�11,�2004.
The Center appointed Hugues�G.�Richard as the Sole Panelist in this matter on August�17,�2004. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, Paragraph�7.
The Panel has received no further submissions from either of the Parties.
The Panel is obliged to issue a decision on or prior to August�31,�2004, in the English language, and is unaware of any other proceedings which may have been undertaken by the parties in the present matter.
The following non-contradicted and unchallenged facts appear from the Complaint and the documents submitted in support thereof.
The Complainant, BellSouth Intellectual Property Corporation, is a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, where it has its principal office. It is an affiliated BellSouth company that owns and manages BellSouth Corporation’s intellectual property assets. It operates a website, “www.fastaccess.com,” in relation with Internet products and services offered by BellSouth.
According to the Whois database of OnlineNIC, the Respondent is Michele�Dinoia, SZK.com, domiciled in Pineto, Italy. He registered the Domain Name in dispute, <wwwfastaccess.com>, on June�10,�2003. He operates a website directory, providing access to database resources on the Internet.
The Complainant is the owner of the U.S. trademark FASTACCESS, registration number 2,341,694, based on a filing date of July�31,�1997, and a registration date of April�11,�2000. The Complainant obtained this mark for telecommunication services, namely ISDN voice and data transmission services.
The Domain Name is confusingly similar to the Complainant’s trademark. It fully incorporates Complainant’s FASTACCESS trademark. The addition of the prefix “www” by the Respondent does nothing to alleviate the confusing similarity between the domain name and the Complainant’s trademark.
Furthermore, the use of the mark FASTACCESS by the Complainant in relation with a variety of telecommunication services has lead to a public perception that services that are offered under the FASTACCESS mark emanate from or are endorsed by the Complainant.
The Complainant claims that it has adopted and used the trademark FASTACCESS since July�14,�1997. Through print, television, radio and Internet, it has promoted its services in connection with this trademark. This registration is prima facie evidence of Complainant’s exclusive right to use the mark FASTACCESS in commerce in connection with ISDN voice and data transmission services.
According to the Complainant, the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests with respect of the Domain Name. The Complainant’s first use of the mark predates the Respondent’s registration of the Domain Name by more than five years. Because the Complainant’s trademark registration was issued before the Respondent registered the Domain Name, Respondent is charged with a constructive knowledge of Complainant’s Registration. Consequently, any use that the Respondent may claim to have made was not bona fide given his knowledge of Complainant’s prior rights.
Finally, searches performed on the Internet search engines did not reveal any business entity using the “fast access” and “SZK” or “Dinoia” terms together. Thus, the Complainant could not find any evidence of any rights in the mark related to the Respondent.
• Because of the widespread advertising and marketing of services made by the Complainant under the FASTACCESS mark, the Respondent must have known of Complainant’s rights in the trademark.
• In addition, at the time of the registration of the Domain Name, it was possible for the Respondent to find Complainant’s <fastaccess.com> registration by doing a domain name search.
• Respondent uses his website to divert Internet traffic to his web portal directory and Pay-Per-Click search engine. Any web user can access the website of the Complainant from the Respondent’s website. Diverting Complainant’s customers for commercial gain in this way is an indication of bad faith pursuant to Paragraph�4(b)(iv) of the Policy.
• By his letter dated November�17,�2003, the Respondent sought consideration in excess of his documented out-of-pocket costs. This act represents another indication of bad faith, according to Paragraph�4(b)(i) of the Policy.
• Adding the prefix “www” to FASTACCESS is typo-squatting by the Respondent, who attempts to deceive the public and divert consumers away from the Complainant’s website.
• The Respondent’s pattern of registering domain names similar to trademarks owned by others has to be construed as an indication of bad faith under Paragraph�4(b)(ii) of the Policy.
• The Domain Name remains active despite the request of the Complainant to cease activities related to the mark FASTACCESS.
• Respondent derives advertiser revenues from his “www.wwwfastaccess.com” site every time a web searcher clicks on the listing on his website.
• Respondent, by using the Domain Name in dispute, has attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to his site.
C. that the Domain Name is registered and used in bad faith.
From a comparison made between the content of the Respondent’s website “www.wwwfastaccess.com” as reflected by the Exhibit�F of the Complaint, and the advertisement made by the Complainant on its website “www.fastaccess.com” (Exhibit�D), it is clear that both parties offer products and services in connection with telecommunication, more specifically Internet telecommunication. Despite the fact that the Respondent’s website does not only focus on this business market, the importance accorded to this market on “www.wwwfastaccess.com,” creates a risk of confusion with the Complainant’s FASTACCESS trademark.
The evidence submitted by the Complainant and similar prior WIPO decisions have convinced the Panel that the Domain Name is indubitably confusingly similar to the Complainant’s FASTACCESS trademark. According to General Electric Company v. Fisher Zvieli, a/k/a Zvieli Fisher, WIPO Case No. D2000-0377 (July�15,�2000), American Media Operations, Inc. v. Erik Simons, NAF Case No.�AF-0134 (June�12,�2000) and Info Space.com, Inc. v. Registrar Administrator Lew Blanck, WIPO Case No. D2000-0069 (April�3,�2000), the addition of “www” before a mark, as it is the fact in the present case, does not alter the existance of confusing similarity between the trademark and the domain name. Although there is no identity between them, the similarity remains obvious.
For these reasons, the Panel concurs with the Complainant’ that the Domain Name and the FASTACCESS mark are confusingly similar.
According to the Complainant, the Respondent is charged with constructive knowledge of his FASTACCESS trademark registration. As Respondent knows about the registration and the rights of the Complainant related to the FASTACCESS mark, it is impossible for the Respondent to claim any bona fide use of the Domain Name. Facing the evidence of the renown of Complainant’s mark presented in this case, it is clear to the Panel that the Respondent effectively knew about the rights of the Complainant before registering the Domain Name in dispute. Exhibit F demonstrates that the Respondent more than probably has known of the existence of the Complainant. On June�28,�2004, the website of the Respondent referred to the BellSouth FASTACCESS website as one of its “popular searches.” Facing the Respondent’s default, the Panel took upon itself to visit Respondent’s website on August�25,�2004, and noticed that the “www.wwwfastaccess.com” website had been modified and that information relating to BellSouth and its affiliates was no longer available. It would be difficult to presume that the Respondent did not know about the Complainant’s rights when he provided a direct link to the Complainant’s website on his own website. The Panel’ finds that this fact is sufficient in itself to show that the Respondent, even if he has used the Domain Name, has not done it in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services.
Furthermore, as it has been suggested by the Complainant, searches carried out by the Complainant have not revealed any business entity using the term “fast access” with the terms “SZK” or “Dinoia.” This element supports the theory that the Respondent has not been commonly known by the Domain Name <wwwfastaccess.com>.
The Complainant has adequately shown that the Respondent lacks rights to or legitimate interests in the Domain Name. The Respondent has not rebutted the Complainant’s allegations, nor does the case file contain evidence that the use of the Domain Name would meet the elements of the non-exclusive criteria provided for in the Policy, Paragraph�4(c). Consequently, the Panel finds that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed Domain Name.
One factor found to support a finding of bad faith is that Respondent knew about the Complainant’s mark when he registered the Domain Name. See, Expedia, Inc. v. European Travel Network, WIPO Case No. D2000-0137 (April�18,�2000); Document Technologies v. International Electronic Communications, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0270 (June�6,�2000) (respondent’s knowledge of complainant’s mark at the time of registration of the domain name suggests bad faith). ’Supporting a finding of bad faith is the fact that the Respondent provided a direct link from his website to the Complainant’s website.
It is difficult to establish with certainty the motivation of any domain name registrant in this type of proceeding. In most cases, a respondent’s intention must be inferred from the respondent’s conduct. The correspondence exchanged by the Complainant and the Respondent, as shown in the Exhibits G to I, reveals that the intention of the Respondent is to benefit from the Domain Name by trying to sell it to the Complainant. On November�17,�2003, the Complainant demanded the Respondent to discontinue all use of the Domain Name and to transfer registration to the Complainant. In response, in a letter dated December�4,�2003, the Respondent offered to sell the Domain Name to the Complainant for the to-be-determined “costs of registration and hosting of the domain name and website, to avoid suffer expenses caused by the registration.” Due to the fact that the Complainant’ refused to deal with the Respondent, the Respondent did not send an offer to the Complainant and continued to use the Domain Name. Although the price of the Domain Name was not fixed, the circumstances show that the Respondent acted in bad faith. Knowing that he would not be able to obtain a “valuable amount” of the Domain Name, he decided to stop corresponding with the Complainant. This fact, combined with the general behavior and the knowledge of the Respondent, lead the Panel to infer bad faith from his part. See Educational Testing Service v. Netkorea Co., WIPO Case No. D2000-0087 (April�4,�2000), for similar analysis of out-of-pocket costs.
All these factors, together with the typo-squatting conduct of the Respondent, demonstrate that the Respondent has registered and is using the Domain Name <wwwfastaccess.com> in bad faith. The Respondent uses the Domain Name to divert Internet traffic to his web portal directory and Pay-Per-click search engine, and has thus attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to his website.
Consequently, the Panel concludes that the Complainant has successfully established all three elements required to be entitled to the appropriate relief.
For all the foregoing reasons, in accordance with Paragraphs�4(i) of the Policy and 15�of the Rules, the Panel orders that the Domain Name, <wwwfastaccess.com>, be transferred to the Complainant.

We left off stating that we were going to expose the Obama administration and the tactics and radical plans they have. In this article we will show just two of the most radical people in the administration, the two people whom may well be the very people that have kept the price at the pump high to get their “Green Agenda” going! This will begin with Carol Browner, so let us dig into her very radical ideology and in some cases violations of the very laws she was supposed to uphold.
In 2009 Carol Browner was named the assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change, (there is the problem in full display, the world wide scam of “Global Warming, or Climate Change), both by the way do not create any sort of air pollution problems at this time in our world. Now Browner knew about this “Global Warming” ideology from none other than Al Gore since she worked for him as a legislative director. Now that gave her the insight as to what this scam was really about and she knew it was nothing more than a huge money making scam for Al Gore, Barack Hussein Obama and a few of his friends in Chicago where they had set up the Chicago Climate exchange where had the Cap and Trade bill passed, all the paperwork involved in that would have been handled.
Browner also worked as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency under Bill Clinton, so it can be seen here that her involvement in the “global warming” scam had a long history with the ideology. Now here she has been listed as a “commissioner” of the Socialist International, just one more of the Obama Administration that either has ties to or are members of either the Socialist Party, or the Communist party! Browner has stated, “Global Warming” is the greatest challenge ever faced by the human race.” Now this is due to the fact that she also stood to make a ton of money on this huge scam!
Browner had a long history of placing bans on oil drilling and when she started this was from her duty as chief legislative assistant to Democrat Senator Lawton Chiles of Florida. While in this position Browner worked hard to ban offshore oil drilling near the Florida Keys, where vast amounts of oil lie untouched. It HAS to be noted that now the Chinese have begun drilling for the very oil that Browner had set out to ban from drilling, how ironic that the oil our nation could have obtained is now being obtained by China companies and sold to Cuba where they may in turn sell back to the United States! How ironic is that for an action that should NEVER had been allowed to happen?
From 1988 to 1991 Browner worked as the Legislative Director for Senator Al Gore, now we must wonder how much influence did Al Gore give her about the so-called “Global Warming” ideology? After Bill Clinton got elected he went out and named Carol Browner to the position of Head of the Environmental Protection Agency, a job that no pure environmentalist should have due to the fact that such an individual does not concern themselves with facts, only theories as to what harm is done to the environment!
It was in this position that Browner had made a move that violated criminal law by faxing out documents condemning the GOP’s regulatory initiatives. Both Republicans and Democrats alike impugned Browner, accusing her of violating the Anti-Lobbying Act. A letter to Browner from a bipartisan subcommittee of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee stated: “The concerted EPA actions appear to fit the definition of prohibited grass-roots lobbying… The prima facie case is strong that some EPA officials may have violated the criminal law.” This was the first of many questionable actions by Carol Browner.
Best-selling author and political analyst Michelle Malkin reports that Browner, on her final day as Clinton EPA chief in 2001, ordered a computer technician to delete all her computer files, in direct violation of a federal judge's order requiring the agency to preserve those files. When questioned about her actions, Browner claimed that her computer had contained no work-related material, and that she had merely purged the hard drive of such innocuous items as computer games -- as a courtesy to incoming staffers of the Bush administration.
It was later learned that three additional high-ranking EPA officials had also violated the court order and erased their hard drives. Because of this, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth held the EPA in contempt of court.
According to Manhattan Institute scholar Max Schulz, Browner "was the driving force behind the federal government's effort to force General Electric Co. to spend $490 million to dredge New York's Hudson River to rid it of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that -- because they were buried under layers of silt -- posed no environmental harm." Some of Browner's employees ultimately faced criminal charges for falsifying evidence and tampering with lab results.
Browner also served as a “commissioner” of the Socialist International (SI), the umbrella group for 170 “social democratic, socialist and labor parties” in 55 countries. SI's “organizing document” cites capitalism as the cause of "devastating crises," "mass unemployment," "imperialist expansion," and "colonial exploitation" worldwide. Browner worked on SI's Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which contends that "the developed world must reduce consumption and commit to binding and punitive limits on greenhouse gas emissions."
Here is the first mention of a “Sustainable World Society” a phrase that the Obama administration yells out at nearly every junction of their campaign and the phrase itself is based upon a so-called “New World Order” where a one world government has control over all the world governments and no one can own land or have private ownership of their land! This phrase is used a lot by Obama in all of his speeches and it is the one thing that take our Constitution away from our nation and gives the sovereignty of our nation to the United Nations where they write up all the rules and the people of the United States must abide by them or face long prison terms without trail! It is through the ideology of this Socialist group that the Cap and Trade ideas came about so they could impose limits of electrical; usage by the individual homes and place fines for over usage of the limits the EPA set! This was Carol Browner’s one goal to achieve and she has not been able to get it done much to the delight of all the people that could face fines of thousands of dollars for using more than their “allowed” usage of electricity!
Browner also served as the chair of the National Audubon Society. She is currently a Board member of the Alliance for Climate Protection (an organization founded by Al Gore in 2006); APX, Inc. (which specializes in environmental commodities markets); the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress; and the League of Conservation Voters. Now take a look, a name that goes with Socialism very deeply and also with Communism, appears here as it does when one digs deep into Barack Husein Obama’s background, a man named George Soros, a man that has no problem with causing havoc anywhere he goes just so he can make more money on the backs of the poor people!
On January 22, 2009, President Obama named Browner as his choice for the post of Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change, popularly known as "Environment Czar." Now here is a new post awarded to an individual that has no real intention to save the environment. Her only real objection is to get the Cap and Trade going so that Obama, Al Gore and numerous others can make millions, if not billions of dollars, from the very people they state they wish to help by forcing them to pay for a program that does nothing to help an environment that is doing just fine even with our small contribution to the carbon dioxide levels! Australia has the Cap and Trade ideology going full force and the total affect upon the environment comes to some .000006 parts per million in real capture, costing Billions of dollars to obtain, an amount so infinitesimal, that it does nothing to the environment at all!
Obama wants to say that it was due to the depression that has caused gas prices to go up, but it seems to be otherwise and this clearly shows that Obama and Browner have devised a plan to force the people to buy the “green energy” ideology or they will be seeing more and more problems with gas prices at the pump.
"By February 2009, [Browner] had already announced radical plans to declare carbon-dioxide emissions a danger to the public -- a move that could potentially subject not just power and chemical plants, refineries, and vehicles, but also schools, hospitals, and any other emitters of carbon dioxide to costly new regulations and litigation.
Once again, Carol Browner has gone to the extremes to force people to pay higher prices due to her ideology that is given the okay by the Obama administration just so they can slow down the use of oil and Force the people to use their “Green” energy ideas, of which are not even close to cost effective as oil, coal, or natural gas!"
Now this is bad when the woman trusted to run your energy policies comes out with these types of problematic ideas! It should also be noted that she was, or seemed, complicit in a few cases that were never brought forward where she possibly could have been in a jail rather than in an office advising the President on Energy policies that have no real basis in facts at all. This is just Carol Browner. We have not opened the door on the head of the energy department, Stephen Chu, yet. But have no fear, that will be out very soon! Placing all these Obama appointees and Czars together and one could easily hold a conference for the Socialist or Communist parties!!

With thanks to Tracy Holmes, here is a copy of the order of service from Geoff Mardon's recent funeral.
Doug is an Oxford fan, though he also had spells following White City and Eastbourne. There's a strong eighties theme to his selection.
"I have yet to meet Steve but I have been invited to his home to watch some GP and check out what looks like a speedway fan/rider museum "
"My dad worked on the turnstiles, I used to go with him in the early 60's. I loved the atmosphere running round the outside of the track before it opened was a thrill for a child of 8 or 9 waiting for the crowds to come in and the excitement of the crowds. We sang.... 2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate A R C H E R S Archers! "
With severe doubts over the long-term future of Brandon, Ian Presslie captured these pictures while the stadium is still fully operational.
Details of a fabulous chance to enjoy some free speedway and revel in some nostalgia in the same weekend.
JOHN Louis, Ipswich Speedway's greatest servant, is writing his amazing life story and his publisher is inviting supporters of the Witches and our readers to contribute to what promises to be a must-read book.
Retro Speedway will be publishing John Louis: My Life in Speedway in October. John is currently working on the later chapters in collaboration with journalist Elvin King.
In the meantime, Retro would like readers of Speedway Plus to send their own personal memories of 'Tiger' from his time in the sport as rider, promoter and team manager.
The best contributions will appear in a 'Tributes' section at the end of the book itself. Even if you write just a few words or sentences, no tribute will be too small.
Email your comments to publisher Tony McDonald at editorial@retro-speedway.com before September 1, 2015.
The funeral of Geoff Mardon, 24 November 1927 - 6 August 2015. Held on 13 August, Christchurch, New Zealand.
"In the hallway of the Avon Park Chapel in Linwood stood one of Geoff's restored motorcycles and on the desk was a memorial book to sign with a few framed snaps. The 1953 World Final podium, one with Ronnie and Briggo, one from his car racing exploits and one on his road racing days. It was simple but SO effective. Because Geoff never lauded his achievements. He was happy with what he did, end of. And this service reflected the man he was."
"One of his daughters told of her dad's endless patience when the family was on holiday. How Geoff had built a boat and he took them all water skiing. No matter how many times they fell off, he just turned the boat around and got them going again. Friends from the Golf and Bowling clubs shared stories of their happy times together. We were told of Geoff's ventures into the catering and taxi industries and how he with Val, brought up their family, sharing as much time as they all could together. It was a humble celebration of a life well lived. A very good and respectful way to say goodbye."
"Great comments Rob.....and of course Bert ! .........I used to watch the Lions in 1970 and 1971 too.....great memories.......I was only 14/15 yrs old but was mesmerised by it all. Sverre was a sensation from gate 4 yellow/black helmet........I don't recall watching Ove but did see Reider and Gote as great No 1's.......some of the lesser lights contributed too....the likes of Brian Collins and Brian Leonard.....Tony Clarke........and even lesser lights like Steve Bast, Pete Prinsloo and Wayne Briggs.........did get the occasional surprise point or two! I used to travel from Watford and then climb those concrete steps to sit and watch high up on first bend......can still imagine riders coming out if close my eyes and also hear that irritating song 'Chirppy Chirppy Cheep Cheep' ........ Went onto Hackney on Friday nights at Waterden Road when Lions finished...was good but could never replace those wonderful Sat nights at Wembley........"
"Will be a very sad day when this place is pulled down. Many happy memories as both man and boy. Still got the programme with my name in when I made my debut on the radio mic in 1995! "
Sad news this week with the passing of Geoff Mardon following a long illness. Geoff was the first rider from New Zealand to make the podium at a World Final. By way of a tribute, here's an article that Tracy Holmes wrote about Geoff in 2009.
Former riders are travelling from the other side of the world for this event in September. Here's details of how you can be there on the night to welcome them back to Scotland.
Can any of you Aussie experts help Ross Tipler ( rosstipler@iinet.net.au ) with this enquiry?
"The father of a friend of mine, Val Lovf, told me about his racing at Deagon Speedway as a young man and had a couple of old photos of the track. He has since passed away and his son is now in Melbourne and we haven't been in touch in some years. Val's name is pronounced Luff ... would you have any information on him, the way he was talking it sounded like he was a founder of the track or among the first involved."
"So many beautiful words <3 I missed my brother very much, so this was a good reading... Svein Harald, you will always be with us. "
"Yes I do believe the result would have been different due to the fact the bike would have played up during the final itself possibly robbing Briggo of even a rostrum position. When you look back at pictures of Barry's bike the term over preparing is not one you could throw at him is it?"
"I can see noise problems here as unless you are a speedway fan would you want to live next door to a speedway track? It doesnt matter that the stadium has been there years, one only has to look at the Mildenhall situation."

New dams and reservoirs are unmistakably altering the American West’s iconic landscapes.
On an unseasonably warm September day with a cloudless sky, I stand on a Colorado hillside, in a meadow that’s painted the ochre of early fall. Ponderosa pines stand sentry above the grass, which sways in a barely perceptible breeze. Down below, cottonwoods tower above an old streambed. All around me, birds chirp and flit among the shrubs; recent visitors spotted fresh mountain lion tracks and a black bear. It’s an almost perfect vista. Except I’m looking at a landscape that will soon disappear.
A grassy meadow sways in the breeze in Chimney Hollow.
“Be careful of rattlesnakes,” Brian Werner says as we walk near what will, a few years out, become the south end of Chimney Hollow Reservoir. I try to imagine what will happen to the snakes—and the bears and birds and burrowing animals—when these 1,600 acres become a lakebed. I’d been conducting an animated interview with Werner for more than an hour as we toured the region’s waterworks–reservoirs, pipelines, diversion ditches, pumps—but now, standing here, I’m speechless. Perhaps sensing my mood, Werner tries to be upbeat. He gestures to the west, where, as part of the reservoir land-acquisition deal, another 1,800 acres will be permanently protected. But it’s hard to stand beneath those ponderosas and not feel a kind of heartbreak.
Up and down Colorado’s Front Range—the string of cities perched along the Rocky Mountains’ eastern flanks—it’s a boom time. Fort Collins, the northernmost city, has doubled its population since the 1980s, with no sign of stopping. Farther to the east, in former rural communities like Frederick, Dacono, and Evans, pavement is spreading like weeds, subdivisions are sprouting in place of corn. The reservoir soon to drown the spectacular landscape under my feet that afternoon would deliver water to these bustling communities.
Across much of the West, the story is similar. As cities and states grapple with urban growth alongside the impacts of global warming—crippling drought, a shifted timeline of snowmelt and stream flows, uncertainty about future water supplies—nothing is off the table when it comes to securing access to water. These days, the stories that make national news are more likely to be about old dams coming down than about new ones rising. That’s partly because dams coming down are still a rarity. But across the West, the local news is far more likely to be about smaller dams going up. The era of water mega-projects may be behind us, but engineers are still transforming landscapes to deliver water—an increasingly elusive and valuable commodity.
“The Reclamation era”—roughly the 1930s to the 1970s—“was big monster projects, massive dams that totally reshaped the watershed, rivers, and ecology,” says Reagan Waskom, director of the Colorado Water Institute at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Today’s projects, Waskom says, are a series of “expansions and enlargements,” smaller-scale efforts meant to complement or shore up existing systems. About an hour south of Chimney Hollow, in the mountains west of Boulder, Denver’s water utility is planning to enlarge a reservoir built in the 1940s, raising the dam by 100 feet, doubling the lake’s surface area and tripling its storage capacity.
The dams being built today, Werner agrees, are “not the Hoovers and the Meads. We’re not doing that anymore.” Still, he adds, “I don’t want to rule them out totally.” As recently as the 1990s, he notes, California built Diamond Valley, the biggest reservoir constructed in the western U.S. in 50 years. But in his three-plus decades with Northern Water, he’s worked on the construction of just one reservoir.
Certainly, Chimney Hollow is no Diamond Valley or Lake Mead. The country’s largest reservoir, Mead can store roughly 26 million acre-feet, or 8.47 trillion gallons, of water. (Water storage is often measured in acre-feet, or the amount of water needed to flood one acre of land one foot deep.) The Hoover Dam, which stops the Colorado River in its tracks to create the lake, is 726 feet high. Chimney Hollow will hold 90,000 acre-feet, or about 29.3 billion gallons, with a 300-foot-high dam.
A subsidiary of Northern Water, called the Municipal Subdistrict, runs the Windy Gap project, which was built in the early 1980s to provide water for Boulder, Fort Collins, and four other Front Range cities. The system pulls water from the Colorado River and stores it in the Windy Gap reservoir on the west side of the Rockies then delivers it to Lake Granby, where it is pumped through the Big Thompson system to the eastern side. But in wet years, Lake Granby, the main reservoir for that Big Thompson system, is already full—leaving no room to store the Windy Gap water. That means in dry years, when the customers really need it, the water isn’t there.
On the Windy Gap system, the firm yield is currently zero. “In the dry years, there’s no water available,” explains Werner, “and in the wet years, there’s nowhere to put it. You can’t rely on a project with zero firm yield.” Chimney Hollow, the utility contends, will give customers—the city of Erie, say— guaranteed annual delivery of their legally allotted water.
Storage offers a safety measure, a way to even out the inconsistencies and help ensure a more stable water supply. That’s no small thing when you’re coping with climate change. Floods that scientists used to consider 100-year events—with a 1% chance of occurring in any given year—are now being called 20-year events—with a 5% chance of occurring in any given year. Droughts are different than they used to be, too: today’s droughts, which coincide with warmer temperatures, bring more wildfires, earlier snowmelt, and greater rates of evaporation—transferring water from soil, plants, lakes, and reservoirs to the air.
But not everyone thinks that means we should keep building reservoirs.
“One of the things you see all over the West is that people think they need more water to serve more people,” says John Fleck, an adjunct professor and writer-in-residence at the University of New Mexico’s Water Resources Program. “But when push comes to shove, communities are really successful at using a lot less water. There’s this notion that if our population goes up, our water use has to go up. That’s really not the case.” Albuquerque, notes Fleck, who is writing a book about the future of the Colorado River, uses less water today than it did in the late 1980s even as it grew by 45%.
Baseline Reservoir stores 760 acre-feet, or 247 million gallons, of water southwest of Loveland, Colorado.
A new reservoir for the swelling Denver suburb of Parker, for instance, completed in 2011, has managed to fill to only a third of capacity, thanks to dry spells, evaporation, and junior water rights that allow Parker to draw water only after more senior rights holders are done. The project took 30 years to build, and currently only provides a year’s worth of water for 75 families.
At some level, decisions about how to plan for the future of Western water supplies come down to both values and inertia. As Werner says, it’s not feasible to stop people from moving to Colorado’s Front Range and other booming parts of the Western U.S. While environmental conditions—unbearably hot summers or persistent extreme drought—might ultimately make both the Front Range and the entire West far less attractive, for the moment, they’re still desirable places to live. It’s hard to stop progress.
At Northern Water’s headquarters in Berthoud—another rapidly growing Front Range town—a series of experimental garden plots occupy several acres behind the building. There, the utility is growing scores of different kinds of grasses and perennials using varying amounts of water and types of irrigation systems and soil amendments. New signs detail the watering needs of various landscapes and link, via QR codes, to web pages filled with water-conserving information for homeowners and professional landscapers. “I’m a huge believer that you better be able to convince people you’re doing everything you can do to save every last drop of water before you go out and build that next water project,” Werner says.
The new world is nothing if not complex. It’s a world of tradeoffs, a world without easy answers. Still, standing on the hillside at Chimney Hollow, I’m sure of one thing: I wish there was some way to spare this spectacular place.

Time is running out for those of you who have the right combination of age and service to retire before the new leave year begins on Jan. 6, 2019. So, what’s so important about retiring before the end of the leave year? I’ll tell you.
Most employees can only carry over 240 hours of annual leave from one leave year to the next. If you have more than 240 hours of “use or lose” leave, there’s a big incentive to retire before those hours are lost. That’s because you’ll receive a lump-sum payment for every hour. More importantly, those hours will be projected forward as if you were still on the job. Because there will be a pay increase in 2018, the closer you retire to the end of the 2018 leave year — January 5, 2019 — the more of those hours will be paid at the higher hourly rate.
There are two other factors to consider before you put in your retirement papers. First, if you are a FERS employee, you’ll have to retire no later than Dec. 31, 2018, to be on the annuity roll in January 2019. If you are a CSRS employee, you’ll have to retire no later than Jan. 3, 2019, to be on the annuity roll in that month. However, for every one of those three days you aren’t on the annuity roll, your annuity for that month will be reduced by one-twelfth.
Second, because you’ll be retiring at the end of the year both your agency’s personnel office and the Office of Personnel Management’s Retirement Operations Center will be flooded with applications. As a result, there will be a longer than usual delay before your agency sends your paperwork to OPM, where it will land in their overflowing in-basket. However, as soon as OPM can get to it, they will send you a partial payment each month until they can finalize your application and send you your first full annuity payment. While you’ll eventually receive all the money you are due, it could take a couple of months. So be prepared.
If you retire at the end of a calendar year, the amount you pay in taxes for that year will be greater than they will be in the year after you retire, even if you’re paid for a lot of unused annual leave and/or receive a buyout. That’s because you’ll be receiving an annuity that is much less than your salary was. And a portion of that annuity will be tax exempt.
Consider the financial consequences of your decision, have a clear idea about why you are leaving, and make sure you know what you’ll do after you retire.

Can a pen really be mightier than the sword as Edward Bulwer Lytton, the English playwright popularly said in 1839? Well, there is one scenario where that is true in the literal sense. If you watched the legendary James Bond movie “Never Say Never Again”, then you probably know where this is headed. The Pen gun is everything its name suggests. It’s a single shot pistol which looks just like a pen and can be folded open to access the trigger. It’s more commonly known as the Braverman Stinger; a title it got from its inventor, R. J. Braverman.
As stated earlier stated, the Pen gun appears exactly like a 6-inch pen by default and cannot fire shots while in this configuration. To fire, it needs to be converted into a pistol by pulling and pivoting of a cylinder located on the hinge joint to the conventional barrel (2 inches). Once that is done, the guns identity is revealed by a small trigger. You can then fire by pointing the muzzle end at the target and pushing the trigger upward.
Because the Braverman stinger does not fire when assuming the pen mode, the ATF categorized it as a handgun rather than an NFA regulated AOW (Any Other Weapon) device. This made the Stinger relatively easier to get without the need to go through the hassles of filling out form 4, acquiring CLEO signatures, tax stamps and other requirements for obtaining more exotic firearms.
Bob Braverman, the brain behind the stinger pen gun started selling his invention in 1991 having filled for a patent with American Derringer Company (ADC) the year before. He soon left ADC and established his R. J. Braverman Corporation which was in full operation until 1997. In that time, the company produced and sold the gun in several calibers. These included pen guns 22 Magnum, .22 LR, .25 ACP, .32 ACP as well as the .380 ACP. At the time, you could even get a special gold-plated model if you are a big fan of James Bond. The company also produced a folding revolver which is like today’s Chiappa Firearms Rhino.
The Corporation went out of production for about six years, but production of the Stinger began again in 2002, under a new name; the Stinger Manufacturing Company which had ties with R. J. Braverman, the original inventor of the pen pistol design. That company also went out of service after a couple of years. The actual number of Stinger Pen Guns manufactured under the three different names is largely unknown. One thing is for sure, the fact that not many of them were made and there is only a handful of them left today.
So, can you get one today?
Production of the Braverman Stinger has ceased for nearly two decades. Back in the days, you could walk into an armory and get one for around 100 US Dollars. Today, the prices are considerably higher because there isn’t a lot of them out there. You will need to part with over 500 US Dollars to buy a rimfire model while the 0.32 and 0.380 models will cost you almost double that amount.

Whatever it was, something led to the weekend shift in White House plans.
The Obama team had read the polls. It was obvious that the majority of the American public wanted no part of more U.S. military presence in the Middle East. Members of Congress read the same polls.
At first only the most hard line pro-Israel members of the House and Senate raised their hands to give a yes vote for an attack. A strange assortment of Republicans, Democrats, progressives and conservatives lifted their hands to defiantly vote no to an attack.
Against such odds, it is rare for AIPAC, Israel’s chief Washington lobbying team, to go all out in support of a vote it was going to lose. But AIPAC must have been hearing from Tel Aviv. Israel’s government wanted that military strike.
In Israel’s view, the greatest threat to its own security—or as some see it, to its military control of the Middle East—runs from the road to Damascus straight through to Teheran, the place where Israel wants to convince the world Iran is building its own stock pile of nuclear weapons.
If Iran has plans to develop a nuclear arsenal, and it denies that it does, it would take decades to catch up to the stock pile of nuclear weapons Israel has stored away in a secure desert hiding place.
AIPAC threw its usual caution to the wind and turned up the heat on Congress for a “yes” vote in support of a strike. It did not work, not even with Hillary Clinton leading the charge.
It was time for the White House to give peace a chance.
The shift from “persuade Congress” to another Obama “pause for peace” was launched in London Monday morning when Secretary of State John Kerry made what he attempted to pass off as an off-handed remark.
How off-handed a remark would a U.S. Secretary of State: toss to a hungry band of journalists just hours before the U.S. Congress is set to debate an air strike? It is quite possible the Secretary knew exactly what he was doing, deliberately setting in motion a series of events toward the easing of tensions between the U.S amd Syria.
The series of events reads like a Hollywood script that moves far too fast to be plausible. But they happened.
Monday’s events may have been purely random, events that started like a snowball rolling downhill after a morning speech by Secretary of State Kerry and ending with an history-changing Monday night announcement by Senate leader Harry Reid that he was postponing a Senate vote because of events of the day.
Or was it planned, this shift to peace from John Kerry in London to a proposal by Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister that was quickly adopted by officials in Syria, leaders in Britain, France, and the United Nations?
President Obama told PBS that he had earlier talked to President Putin during the G20 conference held in Russia. The picture above of the President was taken by AFP at the Conference. The picture comes from Ha’aretz. Were seeds planted there for the Monday plan shift?
Of course, there have been few reports of many positive exchanges between Obama and Putin of late. So were these Monday events serendipitous? Might they have been another event on the road to Damascus like the one the Scriptures tell us happened to change the life of Paul of Tarsus?
Or, for the less religiously inclined readers, was the plan shift purely pragmatic, planned by Obama when a congressional rejection of an air strike became imminent?
Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, said Monday evening that he would not take the procedural steps to force an initial vote on authorization of force Wednesday, slowing Senate consideration of the resolution.
A senior Democratic aide that the developments with the Russian proposal were a significant factor in the delay, which will allow members to consider the plan and also hear from the president, who is scheduled to meet with them at the Capitol on Tuesday in advance of his nationally televised speech to explain his rationale for military force.
Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, made the proposal that could avert a strike earlier in the day, seizing on a seemingly offhand remark by Secretary of State John F. Kerry. Traveling in Britain, Mr. Kerry said that Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, could avoid strikes by agreeing to give up his chemical weapons.
“He could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community in the next week — turn it over, all of it, without delay and allow the full and total accounting,” Mr. Kerry said.
But Mr. Lavrov followed up on the idea, with a proposal that offered a compromise that could avert an American-led strike in response to a poison-gas attack near Damascus last month.
Officials in Syria embraced the idea, as did Britain, France, the United Nations and even some Republican lawmakers in Washington.
Jerusalem’s Ha’aretz made sure its readers were aware that President Obama still has some doubts over what may emerge from the Kerry/Lavrov proposal. As Obama likes to say, “nothing in life is ever certain”.
U.S. President Barack Obama said Monday that while the Russian proposal to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control is “potentially positive,” his administration is looking at it with skepticism.
“I think you have to take it with a grain of salt initially,” he told “NBC Nightly News” in an interview. “This represents a potentially positive development,” he said, adding that Secretary of State John Kerry would explore with Russia how serious the offer is.
Obama gave six television interviews on Monday, and was due to visit the Capitol on Tuesday to make his case to lawmakers from both parties before making a televised address from the White House in the evening. The media blitz was meant to turn up the pressure on Congress to support U.S. military action in Syria.
In an interview that aired simultaneously, the president told CNN that any diplomatic effort to resolve the conflict in Syria must be serious.
“And we don’t want just a stalling or delaying tactic to put off the pressure that we have … right now,” he said.
“We have to maintain this pressure, which is why I’ll still be speaking to the nation tomorrow about why I think this is so important,” he added.
President Obama on Monday called a Russian proposal for Syria to turn over control of its chemical weapons to international monitors in order to avoid a military strike a “potentially positive development,” that could represent a “significant breakthrough,” but he said he remains skeptical the Syrian government would follow through on its obligations based on its recent track record.
The Post added that the President said in a separate interview with ABC news “if Assad were to give up his chemical weapons, a military strike would “absolutely’ be on pause.
The President paused earlier when he involved the Congress in the decision to attack Syria. Now he appears ready to pause again, “absolutely”.
Whatever the real story is behind Monday’s series of events that unfolded in the direction of peace, we can be thankful that Obama has listened to his own public and is now choosing peaceful “pauses” rather than displays of shock and awesome military power.

Three major ironies here. The American citizens need the Russian government from saving us from an administration that has been chafing at the bit for war.
The third is that the US and Israel routinely use weapons of mass destruction to target civilians, for the US think Viet Nam, Iraq, Japan etc etc. and for Israel thing Gaza (white phosphorus, killing hundreds of women and children) and cluster bombs (still killing kids in Lebanon today on the hills Israel saturated with these bombs.
1. It doesn’t make sense for Assad to have used chemical weapons if he knew that was the only way we would respond with direct force 2. Assad was winning with the use of conventional weapons – he didn’t need to use chemical weapons to win. 3. While the rebels may not have the capability to use chemical weapons (even though we remember the 1995 sarin gas episode in Tokyo with the Japanese terrorist org Aum Shinrikyo) Israel and Saudi Arabia definitely do have the capability and they both want the US in the war and they both have the ability to either set up a side operation during the battle with shoulder launched missiles or to infiltrate the government forces 4) Even with extensive bombing and boots on the ground, we do not have a demonstrable track record to show that anything would get better for anyone involved. 5) The pentagon is already expanding its scope and adding new targets to the original 50 that they started with so please don’t tell us this isn’t going to drag us into a deeper involvement.
There was an excellent interview with Al Assad on PBS’ Charlie Rose the other night, and I highly recommend watching online. He made many good points, including some of those mentioned above. He didn’t come out and call us hypocrites, but he implied it, and he’s right.
When the Israelis gassed Gazans with white phosphorus, our “representatives” in congress passed a resolution of support for Israel.
Obama and Putin took a great positive step towards giving the world a pause to think, by averting war. It is a potentially “Win-Win” situation for all, except for Israel that vehemently pushed for the war from Day One.
The key is to now raise pressure on both (Obama-Putin) leaders to bring in the Arab League, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, and Egypt and get the Syrian government and whatever representation the Opposition chooses to reach a peaceful agreement.
In 1990, the Arab League was able to get the two Lebanese civil war groups to work on an accord before being allowed to leave the meeting room, in Ta’if, Saudi Arabia.
This will be more urgent than any other agenda item the world could do.
We cannot let the horrendous numbers killed, so far, go beyond the current blasphemous record.
What “peace” are you referring to? The US is at peace, Israel is at peace, but Syria is at war and over 100,000 arabs are dead and still dying.
If that’ is acceptable to you just let us know. I’m reading blogs where Syrians are begging for help, are showing unprecedented hate of Iran, Assad, Hezbollah and Russia (for fighting against fellow sunni muslims), and they frankly don’t give a hoot about Israel.

I wandered into the family room the other evening to find Captain Cavedweller sucking down his fifth, yeah – that’s right FIFTH, Otter Pop of the day. Granted, he spends the bulk of every day out in the hot sun and comes home in need of something cool and refreshing. But this may have gone too far. Maybe.
He could at least eat a real Popsicle instead of the plastic filled tubes of frozen liquid sugar. The whole thing is so… unsportsman-like. Not summery. Icky. There is just something wrong with sucking on a plastic tube. It seems so uncivilized.
And while I’m on a rant today, I’d like to know what happened to the old-fashioned kind of popsicles. You know, the kind that came on two sticks?
I was going to prove to Captain Cavedweller how much better my frozen sugar on a stick was than his tube-filled thingies. Only I couldn’t find my popsicles anywhere. Believe me I’ve looked. The closest I could find was a box of single popsicles on one stick. But at least they had my favorite flavors of banana and rootbeer.
Captain Cavedweller can’t even identify the flavors he is inhaling. He brought a yellow tube for me to sniff to see if I could determine the flavor. I started to tell him exactly what I thought it smelled like and decided I better behave myself.
So as the battle lines are drawn down the middle of our freezer this summer with Otter Pops on one side and sad little single stick Popsicles on the other, what kind of frozen treats are in your freezer?
