GCC and UAE Finance and Investment News: Analysis: Dewey's ...

As law firm Dewey & LeBoeuf embarks on the humbling process of working through bankruptcy, creditors and former partners are bracing themselves for a nasty court battle that could drag on for years.
Dewey, a storied firm with deep Wall Street connections, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Monday night. The firm had veered toward collapse over the last six months amid revelations of fat salary guarantees, risky loans and a culture of secrecy.
Some former partners have hired lawyers in anticipation of clawback suits by the estate. Law firms that offered positions to former partners could also get embroiled in fights over rights to client fees. Creditors ranging from banks to temp services have started jockeying for position to maximize limited payouts.

HBT: Angels put Weaver on DL with strained back

7:15 p.m. EDT update: Now it?s officially official, apparently. The Angels have once again announced that Weaver has been placed on the DL and Richards has been called up.

6:30 p.m. EDT update: The Angels have asked reporters to disregard the release they sent out announcing that Weaver was placed on the DL and Garrett Richards was recalled. Apparently, they?re still deliberating the move.

///

Those fearing a serious knee injury for Jered Weaver last night got some good news, but the Angels ace wasn?t able to avoid the disabled list on Tuesday. The Angels deactivated him due to what was termed a lower back strain and spasms.

Weaver was off to a 6-1 start with a 2.61 ERA this season.?It?s the first time in five years that he has gone on the DL. He last missed time in April 2007 due to biceps tendinitis.

In a minor surprise, replacing Weaver on the roster is Garrett Richards. Richards was the expected choice to take Weaver?s place in the rotation this weekend, but it figured the Angels would call up a reliever until then. Instead, they apparently want Richards available out of the bullpen tonight in case they need a long man. Since the Angels needed nine innings from their bullpen Monday, they?ll be limited in what they have available tonight.

yong - Make Money Online ? Why Your Free Online Home Business ...

According to Google the keyword phrase ?free online business? is searched 74,000 times per month without the quotation marks.

Even the phrase ?free online home business? is searched hundreds of times.

What is interesting is how competitive this phrase is on Google Adwords.

People who are searching for these keyword phrases are looking to make money online with their own business without spending any money. I understand the logic behind this. Some of them do not have any money, and others are not willing to gamble until they know a little bit more about a business opportunity.

The point I try to get across to new Internet marketers is a free online home business is never really free. The competition online will never allow you to build a home business without investing something.

What is great about the Internet is you can spend your time as opposed to investing your money. What makes this not free is your time is actually worth something even if you are not making any money.

My Internet business began to grow when I started valuing my time as money. You might start out by saying you?re going to pay yourself $8 an hour to work on the Internet.

If you spend 20 hours in one week working on building your business that?s the equivalent of paying yourself $160. You may not actually have $160 in your bank account, but you have invested that much time back in your business.

Where the Internet is a great equalizer is in how you can trade time for dollars. Let me give you an example.

Let?s say you write an article and want to submit it to article directories to get some traffic to your site. You can manually submit your article to one directory at a time. This will take you longer to do than using a submission site such as Submit Your Article where you can reach multiple directories with one click.

Here is another example. One way to get traffic to a landing page is to join a traffic exchange such as Soaring 4 Traffic.

You build credits by clicking on other people?s ads and viewing them. You can join the traffic exchange for free. Most of them have a different credit ratio for free accounts.

You might only earn one credit for every two ads viewed, as opposed to if you were a paid member where you have a 1 to 1 ratio of ads viewed for credits earned.

You can even purchase credits and have your ad shown without spending your time clicking on ads. However, if you want to build your online business for free one way to promote it is to spend your time clicking on ads to earn credits to get your ad shown.

There are numerous ways you can trade your time for money on the Internet. When you value your time based on an hourly rate you begin to understand why your free online business is not really free, but it?s still possible for anyone to eventually make money.

Chinese man pleads guilty to NY Fed cyber theft

A Chinese computer programmer on Tuesday pleaded guilty to stealing software code from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in a case that raised cyber-security concerns when he was arrested five months ago.

Bo Zhang, 33, admitted last August that he illegally copied the software code to an external hard drive and took it home. The FBI questioned him when he admitted the theft but did not arrest him until January.

Congressional investigators became concerned that the New York Fed was vulnerable to cyber attacks after the arrest.

Zhang has been cooperating and has been free on bail and prosecutors have recommended that he be sentenced to no more than 1-to-1-1/2 years in prison. He faces deportation after he serves his prison sentence.

Instead of prosecuting Zhang under trade secrets or computer fraud and abuse statutes, U.S. authorities charged him with theft of government property.

The New York Federal Reserve was given the task of moving the Government Wide Accounting program, developed to help track the billions of dollars the United States government transfers daily, from an antiquated IBM mainframe computer to the Internet, according to a person familiar with the project.

Zhang was hired in May 2011 as a contractor to help with the project. Three months later, he copied part of the software code for the Treasury program onto a New York Fed-owned portable drive, took it home and made more copies of it, according to the criminal complaint.

A month later, Zhang told a colleague he had lost one of the drives holding the code and the bank's officials alerted the FBI, the complaint said.

When FBI investigators questioned Zhang on Aug. 11, Zhang admitted taking the code "for private use and in order to ensure that it was available to him in the event that he lost his job," the complaint said.

Details about how the Fed came to hire Zhang and whether he was subject to any kind of security clearance are unclear. The New York Fed, unlike federal agencies, has no obligation to reveal how it hires outside contractors.

A spokesman for the New York Fed declined to discuss how it conducts background checks or what systems it has in place to prevent theft. The spokesman did say that security checks were strengthened after Zhang stole the software, but declined to give details.

Along with the FBI, the inspector general for the Treasury Department has reviewed the alleged theft. The incident also drew scrutiny from two Congressional panels, according to documents reviewed by Reuters. A spokesman for the Treasury's inspector general declined comment on the inquiry.

The Congressional panels ? the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking Committee ? contacted the Federal Reserve in Washington after committee members read about the arrest in news reports, according to Treasury and Federal Reserve email correspondence. Spokesmen for both committees declined to comment.

Zhang also pleaded guilty to one charge of immigration fraud. He is currently free on $200,000 bail and is due to be sentenced on October 1.

According to an April plea agreement with Zhang, prosecutors recommended he be sentenced to one to 1-1/2 years in prison, much less than the potential 10-year maximum term the theft charge carries.

The case is USA v. Bo Zhang, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, No. 12-0390.

Steven Harper of Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron 5 and event organizer. this is often a chance to indicate Sailors a way to play the sport and promote the game within the military, said Alvaro Beltran, the amount four ranked player on the International Racquetball Tour.

Your body adjusts to it rather like running, Steed said, you gradually add the miles. whereas she has slowed her pace somewhat to around a 10-minute mile, she hasn?t slowed her life down thanks to her cancer or treatment regime. She even admits to feeling nice when a twenty six.2-mile race run at the slower pace. currently the cancer, an aggressive kind, is back, and thus are the chemotherapy treatments.

Members of the public assist firefighters at the scene of a blast in central Nairobi, Kenya on May 28, 2012.

Reuters reports ??A blast struck a shopping complex in Nairobi's business district during Monday's lunch hour, wounding more than a dozen people, but it was not immediately clear what had caused the explosion.?

Dense black smoke billowed from the badly damaged building and sirens blared as emergency service crews rushed to Moi Avenue, a major road running through the center of the Kenyan capital.

Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere said it was too early to determine the cause of the blast. He said blackened wires inside the trading center indicated a possible electrical fault but did not rule out a bomb.

Pennsylvania electric suppliers are also offering consumers competitive electric rates helping to lower millions of customer's electric bills each month. There is no longer a reason to keep the utility for your supply and delivery services when you can lower your electric supply charges by choosing a competitive New Jersey Electric Provider or Pennsylvania electric provider.

As the summer approaches and you plan to be using more electricity for your air conditioning and fans, you want to be sure you are getting the best rate available. Choices for your supplier can help you control this expense during the warmer months of summer just as they do in the winter season.

Israel being swamped with African migrants, Israelis riot

Posted by acorcoran on May 27, 2012

This is a story from this past week that I hadn?t had a chance to post until now.

From Reuters:

JERUSALEM, May 24 (Reuters) ? Surging street violence against African migrants, including a rampage that an Israeli broadcaster dubbed a ?pogrom?, drew empathy for the rioters from the interior minister on Thursday.

Waving Israeli flags and chanting ?Deport the Sudanese?, residents of a low-income Tel Aviv neighbourhood where many of the border-jumpers from Eritrea, Sudan and South Sudan live held a march late Wednesday that turned violent.

Police said 20 people were arrested for assault and vandalism. Trash cans were set alight, storefront windows were broken and a crowd attacked an African driving through the area, breaking his car?s windows. No serious injuries were reported.

Interviewing Interior Minister Eli Yishai, Army Radio likened the incident to pogrom attacks on Jews in 19th century Europe. Yishai bristled at such language, citing police findings that Sudanese and Eritrean migrants were a crime risk.

[....]

Fleeing poverty, fighting and authoritarian rule, some 60,000 Africans have crossed illegally into Israel through the relatively porous desert border with Egypt in recent years.

[....]

Unchecked, the number of Africans illegally in Israel could reach millions and overwhelm the citizenry, Yishai predicted.

?So what, the State of Israel, as the Jewish state, in the name of democracy, in the name of honouring U.N. resolutions, (should accept) a recipe for suicide?? he said.

?The truth has to be told, and believe me it is hard and it hurts, as we are the Jewish people, a merciful people.?

A recipe for suicide?indeed!

The iPhone Blog: Nest learning thermostat rolling out soon to Apple Stores nationwide

Apple Stores will soon carry stock of the revolutionary Nest learning thermostat. According to sources, the Nest thermostat is being delivered to Apple Stores nationwide and may go on sale as early as next week. The Nest thermostat has already been given its own Apple part number and is set to be sold at the same price as Nest?s online store at $249.99.

Today, a trusted source was able to provide a first hand look at the Nest packaged at an Apple Store today, complete with the part number. Priced at $249.99 (the same as Nest?s price through Nest?s online store), the Nest has a part number of?H9279ll/a in Apple?s systems.

The Nest was developed by former Apple iPod and iPhone hardware chief Tony Fadell who came up with a new way to imagine your home thermostat -- the Nest Learning Thermostat. It's a touch-controlled system that makes your home energy needs simple and easy to control remotely via an iPhone or iPad app.

According to Nest, the thermostat takes roughly a week to pick up on your energy routines and adjusts your temperature accordingly. A display changes colors to red or blue to distinguish between heating and cooling, and the design is very Apple-like. The greatest part about the Nest Learning Thermostat is the iOS app for your iPhone or iPad, letting your remotely adjust Nest's settings and get all the vital information you need on-the-go.

If you have been thinking about picking up a Nest learning thermostat, you will soon be able to see one in the flesh at your local Apple Store.

Sin embargo, eran los inicios del movimiento magonero en M?xico.

Using Autoresponders With Internet Marketing - Internet Marketing ...

If you?ve ever dealt with an online company or subscribed to an ezine or other service on the Internet before, you?ve more than likely received an email from an autoresponder. Although you may not have realized it at the time, it was probably an email letting you know that the individual you were trying to reach isn?t available. Even though it appears that someone else sent the message, it was indeed sent from an autoresponder.

Although autoresponders are great for letting others know that you are away, they are even more valuable when used as a marketing tool. If you?ve thought about selling products or services online or if you already own your own company, you could greatly benefit from autoresponders. In the world of Internet marketing ? few tools and programs can compete with an autoresponder.

As many Internet marketers already know, autoresponders are a great way to put your business on autopilot and multiply yourself. With an autoresponder, simply set up your preset messages, and select the schedule that each individual message will go out. When messages go out is entirely up to you, you can send them out on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis. You can also use as many messages as you want, and know without a shadow of a doubt that they will go out to those on your customer list when they are supposed to.

Best of all, you don?t even have to touch it. This will save you a lot of time, as your autoresponder will handle virtually all of your email tasks. It will follow up with your customers as well, saving you a lot of time there. If you had to follow up with each and every one of your customers yourself, it could cost a lot of time that you could easily be using for other things ? even spending time with your family.

Even if your business doesn?t have a lot of site visitors now, an autoresponder can still help you out. Even though you may not think so, it can do a world of wonders. No matter how many visitors you have, you should always strive to capture all the opt-ins that you can. The best way to do this is by providing high quality products and services that will keep your visitors intrigued. If you keep them intrigued, they will gladly sign up to your list with their email address and their name, so that you can contact them with future offers. Even though may be starting out small, your opt-in list can get really big before you know it.

Once your list has grown, it will easily become one of the most valued assets of your entire company. In order for your list to grow, you?ll need to answer emails about your products, services, company, and what you can do for your customers. You don?t need to spend all day doing this anymore, as you can leave everything to your autoresponder. Your autoresponder can answer all of your email questions and give customers what they want ? which will help your company grow.

Almost all autoresponders will enable you to send broadcast messages to your entire client list among other things. They will also let you stay in touch with your customers and establish relationships that will keep your customers coming back. No matter how big or how small your company may be ? an autoresponder is one investment that you is more than worth your money.

To Your Success

Alleged abuses tarnish citizenship and naturalization process | San ...

In the city of San Diego and throughout the nation, the citizenship and naturalization process is fraught with red tape and stress for those involved. For many immigrants, though, the process is worth it because they want to be in the United States whether for work, family or other reasons. However, recent allegations have tarnished the image of a better life in the U.S. Some have come out claiming alleged abuses by United States Border Patrol agents. Many people who've already been through the citizenship and naturalization process were targeted by the agents, along with those who may have been undocumented.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security that says Customs and Border Protection agents physically assaulted or abused people in 11 different incidents. According to the complaint, many of the victims were either citizens or legal residents of this country. The complaint is requesting an investigation into the alleged crimes.

One particular incident alleges that a man who possessed a valid visa was "strip searched and chained to a metal bench for three hours." The man received no explanation for the treatment he received. This event had the Chilean man questioning the country in which he was living and comparing it to a country that does not have democracy.

The complaint against the agents comes two years after a 42-year-old undocumented immigrant died after mistreatment by border agents. The father of five was beaten and tased near the San Diego border crossing. A statement from CBP states they have a zero tolerance policy for corruption or any type of abuse within their ranks. They plan to cooperate with the investigation. Hopefully they find a way to prevent this type of abuse so legal immigrants don't have to live in fear of those who are supposed to be protecting those who live in the U.S. legally.

EU urges Greece to stay in euro, plans for possible exit

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union leaders, advised by senior officials to prepare contingency plans in case Greece decides to quit the single currency, urged the country to stay the course on austerity and complete the reforms demanded under its bailout program.

After nearly six hours of talks held during an informal dinner, leaders said they were committed to Greece remaining in the euro zone, but it had to stick to its side of the bargain too, a commitment that will mean a heavy cost for Greeks.

"We want Greece to stay in the euro, but we insist that Greece sticks to commitments that it has agreed to," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters after a Wednesday evening summit in Brussels dragged long into the night.

Three officials told Reuters the instruction to have plans in place for a Greek exit was agreed on Monday during a teleconference of the Eurogroup Working Group (EWG) - experts who work for euro zone finance ministers.

The Greek finance ministry denied there was any such agreement but Belgian Finance Minister Steven Vanackere, said: "All the contingency plans (for Greece) come back to the same thing: to be responsible as a government is to foresee even what you hope to avoid."

Two other senior EU officials confirmed the call and its contents, saying contingency planning was only sensible.

In its monthly report, Germany's Bundesbank said the situation in Greece was "extremely worrying" and it was jeopardizing any further financial aid by threatening not to implement reforms agreed as part of its two bailouts.

It said a euro exit would pose "considerable but manageable" challenges for its European partners, raising pressure on Athens to stick with its painful economic reforms.

Greek officials have said that without outside funds, the country will run out of money within two months and there remains the threat that if it crashes out of the euro zone, other member states could be brought down too.

A document seen by Reuters detailed the potential costs to individual member states of a Greek exit and said that if it came about, an "amiable divorce" should be sought with the EU and IMF possibly giving up to 50 billion euros to ease its path.

Although EU leaders' minds will have been focused by that prospect, disagreements have flared over a plan for mutual euro zone bond issuance and other measures to alleviate two years of debt turmoil, such as giving countries like Spain an extra year to make the spending cuts demanded of them.

"The idea is to put energy into the growth motor. All the member countries don't necessarily share my ideas. But a certain number expressed themselves in the same direction," new French President Francois Hollande told reporters.

For the first time in more than two years of crisis summits, the leaders of France and Germany did not huddle beforehand to agree positions, marking a significant shift in the axis which has traditionally driven European policymaking.

Instead, Hollande met Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in Paris to discuss policy, before the pair travelled to Brussels by train.

Despite fears Greeks could open the departure door if they vote for anti-bailout parties at a June 17 election, Spain, where the economy is in recession and the banking system in need of restructuring, is at the front line of the crisis.

After meeting Hollande, Rajoy said he had no intention of seeking outside aid for Spain's banks, which are laden with bad debts from a property boom that bust and still has some way to go before it touches bottom.

But his government said its rescue of problem lender Bankia would cost at least 9 billion euros and it is also seeking ways to help its highly indebted regions meet huge refinancing bills.

SHIFTING SANDS

Socialist Hollande's election victory has significantly changed the terms of the debate in Europe, with his call for greater emphasis on growth rather than debt-cutting now a rallying cry for other leaders.

That has set up a showdown with conservative Merkel, whose primary objective is budget austerity and structural reform.

At his first EU summit, Hollande chose to make a stand on euro bonds - issuing common euro zone debt - despite consistent German opposition to the idea. "I was not alone in defending euro bonds," he said.

Merkel showed no sign of dropping her objections to the proposal, which she has said can only be discussed once there is much closer fiscal union in Europe. "There were differences in the exchange about euro bonds," she said bluntly.

The Netherlands, Finland and some smaller euro zone member states support her.

No major decisions were made at Wednesday's summit, which was intended to promote ideas on jobs and growth ahead of another meeting at the end of June.

But debate was intense, not just over euro bonds but over how to rescue banks and whether to give more time to struggling euro zone countries to meet their budget deficit goals.

"We haven't come together to confront each other ... but we have to say what we think - what are the right instruments, the right methods, the right steps, the right initiatives to raise growth," Hollande said.

The leaders discussed broad measures to stem the fallout from a winding up or restructuring of bad banks, EU officials said, with the European Central Bank pressing for the bloc to stand behind its struggling lenders but with Merkel's approval seen as far from guaranteed.

At the heart of the discussion are proposals from the European Commission for a legal framework to wind up or reorganize insolvent banks so as to avoid a repeat of the multi-trillion-euro taxpayer bailouts during the financial crisis.

Another suggestion is for the euro zone's rescue funds to be allowed to recapitalize banks directly, rather than having to lend to countries for on-lending to the banks. But that is another idea with which Germany is uncomfortable.

Having rallied on Tuesday, European stocks dropped 2.2 percent as investors priced in a lack of dramatic policy action. The euro tumbled against the dollar to its lowest since August 2010 and Spanish and Italian borrowing costs climbed.

A German two-year debt auction gave a stark illustration of how money is dashing for safe havens. Investors snapped up the 4.5 billion euros of paper on offer even though it came with a zero coupon - offering no return at all.

SEARCH FOR GROWTH

With the euro zone registering no growth in the first quarter and threatening to slip back into recession, policymakers touted three ideas to provide stimulus:

- 'Project bonds' backed by the EU budget to finance infrastructure projects alongside private sector investment.

- Doubling the paid-in capital of the European Investment Bank, the EU's co-financing arm, to a little over 20 billion euros.

- Redirecting structural funds which tend to flow to poorer countries, to other areas where they might reap more immediate growth rewards.

Even if all three proposals were to be activated quickly, economists say they will not provide a sufficient shot in the arm to the euro zone and the wider EU economy.

Eczema Spots What Are They? | Baby care | Health and Fitness ...

Posted by Diana on May 23rd, 2012 04:42 AM | Eczema??

Eczema spots on the face of a person can affect the person physically and mentally. Spots of eczema can be easily noticed and can be treated by various methods and can also really affect the person?s self-esteem and life.

Eczema is a term that is used by medical groups that refers to a skin condition that causes the skin to be inflamed or irritated and causes red spots to sometimes appear on the face. These eczema skin spots are not attractive to look at and can break a person?s self esteem if it is not treated immediately.

The most common type of eczema spots is known as atopic dermatitis which is an uncomfortable skin condition that has developed from heredity, environmental, diet, and perhaps even conditions known as asthma and hay fever. About 3% of adults in the United States is affected by these eczema spot patches, and about 10 to 20 percent of infants are affected by it in the united states alone. However, children usually outgrow these spots of eczema by the age of 10. Unfortunately, it is the not the same for adults with a case of eczema spots.

Symptoms of eczema spots usually tend to persist longer in adults because their body is less immune to these skin diseases than infants. Some adults can also experience eczema symptoms throughout their whole life. But if treated with the right medication and treatment, eczema spots can be cured and controlled for almost all sufferers.

Eczema is most common in Americans in the United States and is one of the most common skin diseases in the United States next to acne. Sadly, doctors do not know the exact cause of eczema but it can be treated if symptoms persist. Most eczema sufferers are seen to have a gene defect or an abnormal function in their immune system which is possibly why they have a condition such as spots of eczema.

Symptoms that are known to appear in adults when signs of eczema shows up are dry, reddened skin that burns and itches when touched. The first symptom seen by adults and infants are itching of the skin, and the next noticeable thing is redness from all the itching and scratching.

Eczema can last for a few hours or days but in some unlucky eczema sufferers, the symptoms lasts a lifetime or for a few years.

Another form of eczema that causes eczema spots is contact eczema, which is a reaction in the skin that causes redness, itching and burning in areas where the skin has an allergic reaction to a substance that the victim is allergic to. However, contact eczema is not as drastic as the normal eczema condition, contact eczema usually persists in the victim for only a few hours and can be treated immediately with the right treatment and medication.

Overall, the symptoms of eczema are shown to be burning, reddening of the skin and itching of the skin. If these symptoms persist, eczema should be treated immediately and can be cured very quickly.

The Eczema condition can be mild to severe with super itchy rashes and spots or patches that need care and attention regularly like Infant Scalp Eczema, and considering a huge amount of infants generally suffer from this condition, learn more about Eczema In Babies, and get in touch with this unsightly skin condition.
