I wrote previously about using deep in the money covered calls to boost your dividend yield. Basically, when you do a buy write and use the lowest strike price possible, you end up purchasing shares of a stock for a fraction of their trading price. If those shares pay dividends, your yield is substantially higher than if you buy the shares without writing the call.
Commissions included (also accounting for the commission I'll incur when my Wells Fargo Shares will be called) I paid $2.70 a share for WFC. I bought shares of the stock near the close yesterday (11/4/08) for $34.93 while at the same time selling the Jan '10 LEAP at the 2.5 strike (WWR AK) for $32.98.
If my stock isn't called until the expiry date, and Wells Fargo continues paying quarterly dividends of $0.34 a share, I will receive a total of $1.70 a share in dividends. Since I'll get $2.50 when the stock is called, my net dividend gain will be $1.50. That's a yield over 55%, given my net debit is $2.70.
I wrote previously that such an enterprise is worthwhile only if your net debit is less than the strike price, so that if/when your shares are called, you don't lose any money. For example, if you buy for a net debit of $2.70 and the strike price is 2.5, you'll lose $0.20 a share if the stock is called. That's correct, but I'd like to offer an addendum. If you do the transaction as near as possible to the close of trading on the day before the ex-date, you minimize lessen but by no means eliminate the chances of being called that day. If you're called on the ex-date or after, you'll get the dividend, which just has to be greater than the difference between your net debit and the strike price to make the transaction worthwhile.
I couldn't get WFC for less than the strike, so I acted in the last minutes of trading yesterday. Today is ex-dividend day. If my shares are called, I'll get the dividend. As it's $0.34 a share, starting today I can't lose money if the shares are called. I can still lose money overall, but that's only if WFC stops paying dividends and its share price goes below $2.50.
[Update 12/31/08: I received my dividend in early December. I have a $0.14 a share gain, factoring in all past and maximum future expenses. I cannot lose money on this trade unless WFC stock goes below $2.5 per share.
In trying this strategy again, and corresponding with another person attempting to implement it, I discovered that these deep in the money calls are exercised in great frequency. (1) I was aware of the fact that calls are more likely to be exercised right before ex-dividend day, but didn't think that this was very likely with LEAPs at low strikes. Turns out that it is. (2) According to the CBOE, options holders have until 4:30 P.M. Central Time to exercise their rights. Even making the above mentioned trade at 3:59 P.M. Eastern Time does not eliminate one's assignment risk that day, as the option buyer potentially has another hour and a half to exercise the options. I guess I was lucky with WFC not being called away soon after I placed the trade.
I still can't figure out how the person on the other side of this trade is making money when he exercises his call, unless he's betting on the underlying stock's direction the next day. If he does it before ex-dividend day, he pays me the strike price * contracts * 100. In exchange, he receives the shares, which are then valued at market price, and he gets the dividend. So, basically, he's getting the dividend, say $0.30 a share in exchange for paying me the strike, say $2.50 a share. Net result here is that he's paying $2.20 in addition to what he already paid for the calls to get the shares. Whether he gains or loses depends on how the stock trades after he gets the shares. My question is, why bother with buying calls and then exercising them shortly thereafter on the same day? Why not just buy the shares? Why pay the extra commissions to wind up in the same place?
The person I've been corresponding with theorizes that these are not ordinary traders on the other side, but those that are part of the market machinery. I can see that, but we still wonder, is it really worth it for them to do that? How much money can they possibly make?
So why did I choose WFC? It has a 2.5 LEAP call strike and a dividend that appears safe for the moment. It'll be worthwhile even if the dividend is cut in half. Best case scenario, WFC continues paying dividends and I'm able to roll my calls for credits or small net debits. Then I can make around 50% a year on it indefinitely. This is unlikely. Second best scenario, I get called at the options expiration date. Worst case, WFC goes out of business and I lose my small net debit. This is not that likely. Second worst case, my shares are called before the next ex-dividend date, and I end up making around 5% for my trouble (0.14/2.70). Overall, I think it's a pretty good deal.
Update 2/22/09: I had all my shares called on February 4, 2009. I suspect that the owners of the calls exercised them on the 3rd. If that's the case, I've made 5% on my investment over four months. Not too shabby, but I hope I receive the next dividend payment.
When I put the Ethical Investing blog carnival out of its misery, I said I would replace it with regularly scheduled posts on the topic of ethical investing. I also asked for others to send me links to their posts or websites on the subject. I have not kept my word.
Ron Robins, of Investing for the Soul, has gently reminded me about his site, twice. I'm sorry it took two times for me to post something.
Investing for the Soul is a great resource for those looking for ethical investing information. This includes information on green investing, corporate transparency and social responsibility, how religion interacts with investing, mutual funds, and many other topics. The site also has a list of suggested books and offers fee based services, such as helping you find investments that comport with your values, investment research, and portfolio auditing. Workshops and seminars are available as well.

During the last few weeks my Evergreen Solar (ESLR) stock has been down in the dumps. I bought some more shares for $3.05 and sold a March 2.5 call for $1.22. My thinking was that the stock would probably stay a little above $2.50 a share, and I'd make $0.67 a share on that transaction when those shares were called in March (this can still happen). Ignoring all my short calls, my cost basis for ESLR is now $5.18 a share. (All my trades are listed on the right sidebar, near the bottom.) If all the calls expire worthless, my costbasis will be $3.75 a share. That is, the most I can lose on the stock is $3.75. Amazing that I originally bought it over $10 a share. The most I can gain if I don't buy back the calls and the stock is called away is $4.28 a share.
After I bought it at $3.05 near the end of October, ESLR promptly fell lower than $2.50 a share. Oh well, I thought, my cost basis for the last purchase, with the call was $1.83. But instead of buying back all my calls (the Jan '10 7.5s, and the recent Mar '09 2.5) for much cheaper than I sold them, I ended up doing nothing. I wanted to buy them, but they didn't go as low as I wanted them to. I missed buying back the Jan '10 calls by $0.05. I'd have sold them again today, as ESLR is now (11/4/08) trading at over $5.50 a share.
I don't expect it to rally forever, and think that I'll have another opportunity to buy my calls back at a profit and then sell them again. As the stock has soared over 100% since the end of October, I'm looking to buy puts.
Solar stocks are up pretty much across the board, so I don't think there's anything specific to ESLR itself causing its recent rally. ESLR had a crappy earnings report in mid October, then sued Lehman and Barclays towards the end of that month regarding the borrowed shares. There was also a UBS downgrade.
I'm still bullish on the company long term. It just has to survive this recession.
My previous posts on ESLR can be found here.
I've voted in every election I've been eligible for since I turned 18. This will be the first year I'm not voting. I think I've finally realized how absurd it is. Put on a fake smile, kiss a bunch of babies, tell everyone you won't raise their taxes, promise a whole bunch of stuff you have no intention of attempting to do (even if it were feasible), sling some mud at the other guy, and say you're the candidate of change and reform. Each and every one of them are always candidates of change and reform, yet they all end up the same.
The Democrats are likely to take control of the two elected branches of government (I was going to say political branches, then reconsidered). They will be just as terrible as the Republicans were when they had full control. Why? Because laws will be passed. That is never for the better. That government is best which governs least.* Since we'll never elect people who actually believe this, for the last few elections I've been casting empty ballots--a kind of "none of the above" vote. Now I have better things to do than go to the polls, especially since this year it looks like there will be a big turnout.
The above might offend some people. For that I apologize. I actually have more particular things to say about each candidate, but rather than truly offend you I will forgo that exercise.
As this is a money blog, I shall refrain from talking directly about politics until the next presidential election. May the candidates you like the best (or the ones you think are the lesser evils) prevail.
I leave you with an excellent op-ed from Minyanville.
*This is often attributed to Jefferson or Paine, but there is no evidence they ever wrote or said it, as far as I know. It appears in the writings of Thoreau (one of my heroes, the slacker who mooched off Emerson) as just a general motto.
This year's market turbulence has many investors calling the buy and hold strategy dead. Let's prove them wrong. My musings (here and here) on holding dividend paying stocks forever have inspired me to make a new, all dividend paying stock model portfolio.
It's composed of 43 stocks and one ETF, and is based on minimal research (more research is always better, but the goal here is to show how it doesn't take an investing maven to succeed with a relatively diversified dividend stock portfolio). Almost all the stocks were selected because they're household names that pay dividends. The other criterion was to take a couple of companies from every industry that came to mind, so that they wouldn't be clustered in one area, as most dividend ETFs are. As far as energy pipeline companies go, I took the two that I've been hearing the most about. As REITs are not really household names, the portfolio will have a REIT ETF instead of separate stocks.
The portfolio will work as follows. Three hundred fifty dollars worth of each stock was purchased at the close on Friday 10/31/08. Fractional shares were purchased, as can be done with discount brokers like SogoTrade (for $3.00 a trade), with the commission of $3.50 a trade. So, this portfolio starts out with around $15,400 worth of stock, and a loss of $154 for the 44 trades.
As this is a buy and hold forever portfolio, no position will be sold, even if it stops paying dividends. If there is a spinoff (e.g., Target spins off a REIT or Procter & Gamble gives some shares of Smuckers as a dividend) any new stock will be added to the portfolio's holdings and the cost basis of the original stock will be reduced by the amount of the dividend (for example, when Altria spun off Philip Morris International, the spin off was worth $51.06 a share. Had this portfolio existed then, Philip Morris International would be added, and the cost basis of Altria would be reduced by $51.06 a share). If one of the stocks is bought out for cash (e.g., BUD), that cash will count as a dividend (even though it's a capital gain). That's the only way a stock can be sold in this portfolio. If a company in the portfolio is bought with stock, or if there is a merger, the new entity will replace the old in the portfolio. The idea is, buy the stocks and leave them alone. Just get the dividend checks.
Although I think all the stocks in the portfolio are good for the long haul (or else I wouldn't pick them), no doubt some of them (hopefully only a few) will go out of business, decrease, or suspend their dividends in the next few decades (a decrease at GE and probably PFE will come soon, but I think both companies will do well over the long term). Others, I'm sure, will do very well. Although I believe reinvesting dividends regularly boosts returns (e.g., just have your broker buy you more shares for free when the dividend comes in), for sake of ease dividends here will be reinvested once a year--or when the portfolio accumulates $353.50, whichever is later. Dividends will be reinvested in the companies either with the lowest payout ratios or the lowest yields (depending on how lazy I am).
Since I'm taking the minimal research approach, such a simple rule would work better than trying to decide which stock to reinvest in by doing research. Lowest payout ratio seems to be the better approach, but it involves more mouse clicks. Lower yields are easier to find out, but reinvesting in these stocks might make me buy them when they're too expensive. Higher dividend yields mean lower investor confidence, so it's best (not necessarily for capital gains purposes) to add new money to the stocks that are in the best shape. (This approach is the opposite of one I'd take with a diversified portfolio of index funds. It makes sense to add new money to the fund performing the worst, as this enables you to buy more shares when they're cheap and avoid buying shares of the funds that are doing better while they may be too expensive. As index funds are baskets of stocks and their composition changes over time, unless the financial system collapses these funds will not go to zero. Underperforming individual stocks can go to zero, however, so I'd like to avoid throwing new money at them.) Dividend reinvestment will not alter the cost basis.
Total return (capital gains + dividends) is always important. But because nothing will be sold in this portfolio, what I'm calling "Dividend Return" (dividends received divided by total invested and expressed as a percentage) will be the better measure. The portfolio will start out with a negative 1% return (that's the $154 spent on commissions).
The portfolio will be tracked in the spreadsheet below (also available for easier viewing here). The dividends received will be updated at the end of every month (probably over the weekend) here. For sake of ease, the ex-dividend dates will be used rather than the dates dividends are paid. Should a dividend not be paid after an ex-date, it will be subtracted from the portfolio.
Since all things are relative, the portfolio will be measured for total and dividend returns against the S&P 500, represented by the ETF SPY. Since buying SPY involves only $3.50 in commissions, it starts out with only a negative 0.02% return. Its dividends will be reinvested annually. When I get around to it, I might add the total bond ETF BND as a measure. Note that if the portfolio or SPY do reasonably well (at least 8% annualized total return) compared to CD rates, buy and hold is not dead. If the portfolio and SPY grow less than rates offered on CDs, (the highest 5 year CD rate I could find is 5.25%--I'll track these as time goes by), then I'll concede that buy and hold is dead.
Of course, this will take a few years.
Disclaimer: The above is for educational and entertainment purposes only. Do your homework before investing.
Disclosure: At the time of writing, I owned JNJ, PG, and PM. Some may ask, if all the above stocks are so great and you believe in buy and hold, why don't you own all of them? The bulk of my investments are in a target allocation mutual fund to which I contribute regularly without looking at the statement (that's so I don't stop contributing). Individual stocks are for play.
Update 11/3/08: I made an error with the ticker for American Express. I had AXM (America Movil) instead of AXP for some reason (carelessness). This has now been corrected.

Google halts Street View capture in India over Police concerns [Updated]

Google has been forced to stop the collection of imaging and data for its Street View project in India, after the company received a letter from the Commissioner of Police in Bangalore, Medianama reports.
The search giant hasn't commented on the content on the Commissioner's letter to the company but issued a statement to confirm that it was had stopped its cars whilst it addressed concerns the Police have:
We can confirm that we received a letter from the Commissioner of Police regarding Street View. We are currently reviewing it and have stopped our cars until we have a chance to answer any questions or concerns the Police have.
It is believed that Google could be infringing various restrictions that prevent the capturing of photographs by non-residents in the country, with a new direct investment policy on investments and the participation of foreign companies in the Indian media. Google might have to seek clearance from Indian authorities before it can resume the capturing of images.
Big Tech wants to be your bank?
Let them deal with AI ethics first
Neither the Indian Police or Google have confirmed reports, meaning reports remain speculative. However, Google has confirmed its cars have been stopped whilst issues are worked out, suggesting the issue is serious enough to stop the search giant from providing an important service for Indian citizens.
Google announced in May that its Street View service would start rolling out in a "matter of weeks", this will be pushed back indefinitely whilst the company seeks to appease Indian authorities.
We have contacted Google for further clarification, we will update the article if we receive a response.
Update: Business Standard reports that Google had failed to produce the requisite clearance documents it had claimed to have obtained from the central government, hence the Street view project was stalled by Bangalore Police.
Assistant commissioner of police, T Sunil Kumar said:
They (Google) said they had the necessary clearances, including that from the ministry of defence, but so far they have not produced these. So, we have asked them to produce the documents before going ahead.
On queried what would happen to the images that Google had already filmed, he said the department would examine all those pictures and if they find any violation of law or privacy, appropriate measures will be taken.
Google India spokesperson said they are in discussion with the authorities to address the latter's concerns and hope to resolve the matter at the earliest.

Hallmark's Line of Wedding Cards: Now More Inclusive!
By GLAAD |
Greeting card giant Hallmark has just introduced a line of wedding cards specifically designed to celebrate the unions of same-sex couples. According to the Associated Press, Hallmark added the cards after California joined Massachusetts as the only U.S. states with legal marriage for all couples. The language inside the cards is neutral, with no mention of wedding or marriage, making them also suitable for a commitment ceremony. Hallmark says the move is a response to consumer demand, not any political pressure. "It's our goal to be as relevant as possible to as many people as we can," Hallmark spokeswoman Sarah Gronberg Kolell said. The interior of the one pictured here reads, "Two hearts. One promise." Awwww! Hallmark started offering "coming out" cards last year, and the four designs of marriage cards featuring same-sex couples are being gradually released this summer and will be widely available by next year.
California,
Hallmark,

For the seasonal boss, see the Headless Horseman.
Falconwing Square. These attacks consist primarily of Shade of the Horseman circling overhead on a flying horse. As he circles the village, he throws flaming pumpkins at the various buildings, and at points, at players.
 "Let the Fires Come!". This quest is only available during the Hallow's End World Event.
[35-70] "Let the Fires Come!"
 Stop the Fires! instead. These are both daily quests, and only one can be completed each day. For a short time after the event has concluded (by the characters slaying the shade, or the shade riding off), neither quest will be offered.
The Shade will throw flaming pumpkins at several of the buildings in town. Fires will appear there, and start throwing burning embers, starting fires nearby. The players are able to loot [Water Buckets] from a nearby large water tub, and throw the water as a targeted AoE effect either on a fire, or to a nearby player. Each time a bucket of water is thrown on a patch of fire, the fire there will be reduced somewhat, or extinguished. Fires increase in size over time, though, and when they have reached their maximum size they start causing nearby areas to catch on fire as well.
 The Headless Horseman, leading to the Headless Horseman Event in the Scarlet Monastery Graveyard.
The sky is dark. The fire burns. You strive in vain as Fate's wheel turns.
The town still burns. A cleansing fire! Time is short, I'll soon retire!
My flames have died, left not a spark! I shall send you myself to the lifeless dark!
Fire consumes! You've tried and failed. Let there be no doubt, justice prevailed!
Harken, cur! Tis you I spurn! Now feel... the burn!
Shade of the Horseman cannot be attacked while he is in the air.
The encounter may scale to the number of players in the area. This makes it possible to solo the event if you're alone, but it can also make the event near impossible to complete if there are a number of people not participating.
The encounter starts with the shade setting 1-3 fires (depending on number of people in the area). Fires are laid out on a square grid. Fire have three levels, and periodically grow in size if left alone (the speed of growth is also dependent on number of people nearby). When a third level fire grows, it sends out embers into any adjacent spaces that don't currently have fires, starting level one fires there.
The trick to fighting established fires is to limit their potential growing area as you slowly push them back. If an entire building is on fire, pick one end to start with, otherwise start with whatever side is open to more burnable spaces. Don't put out level one fires if there are level three fires adjacent, or they'll just be re-kindled; knock the level three down first (or along with the level ones). Buckets hit a number of spaces at once, so try to center them one space into the burning area, so you're putting out the front line while you're driving down the spaces behind them.
If you can get everyone to concentrate on a single building at a time, it makes putting out the fires a lot easier. The fires spread if you leave them alone or cannot put them out fast enough, so its easiest to put out one building and then the next rather than trying to put out two buildings simultaneously.
A useful tactic is to form a bucket line. Someone stands close to the water tub, loots water buckets from the tub, and throws them to someone closer to still-burning fires. If necessary, that person throws to someone yet closer.
As water buckets are unique, throwing a bucket to someone who already has one wastes it.
Due to lag, it is very difficult to throw a bucket to someone who is moving.
Because of these, it is useful to arrange the bucket line before starting the event.
Another useful tactic is for all nearby players to have buckets in hand before the event is started. Putting out fires that are further away from the bucket, before they get a chance to spread, makes it much easier to win the event.
If you are not in a bucket chain, any speed increase is useful. Druids and Shamans can use items while shifted so Travel form and Ghost Wolf respectively make you much more effective. Also, if you are in a group with a Hunter they can make you run much faster with Aspect of the Pack. Also, as you instantly mount the Flying Broom, it makes it a useful mount for this.
 Fire Brigade Practice as long as you have picked it up before Shade of the Horseman has spawned, so these can also be completed while attempting to douse the village fires.
Note that both "Let the Fires Come!" and Stop the Fires! are completed once the fires are out. Defeating the Shade is not required for them.
Patch 6.0.1 (24-Apr-2014): Conflagration (both types) periodic nearby damage increased to 270.
Patch 5.2.0 (5-Mar-2013): Conflagration (type 1) now has 4 sec cooldown.
Patch 5.1.0 (27-Nov-2012): Model updated.
β Patch 5.0.1 (Beta): Conflagration (type 1) damage increased to 10%/sec.
Patch 4.1.0 (26-Apr-2011): Conflagration now has fixed damage (40/4 sec or 90/30 sec + periodic 150 to nearby).
Patch 3.0.2 (14-Oct-2008): Shade of the Horseman now spawns in response to a quest, where before he appeared at 4 hour intervals.

Venezuela 'bans' some U.S. diplomats and politicians; U.S. tourists to be charged the same visa fee as Venezuelans entering the U.S.
In an "anti-imperialist" rally on Saturday, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro came out swinging against the United States.
At one point wielding a sword, Maduro announced that some U.S. diplomats will have to hit the road, while tourists from the North American nation will have to apply for a visa and pay the same $160 fee that Venezuelans pay to enter the U.S. He also said that some U.S. politicians and officials will not be allowed to enter Venezuela.
Maduro said the U.S. had 15 days to reduce its diplomatic staff to match the size of Venezuela's staff in Washington, D.C.
A sword-wielding Nicolas Maduro at a Sunday rally in Caracas.
According to Maduro, the move is necessary to "protect" the country from a coup d'état. In addition, he said that his government will retaliate against U.S. sanctions on Chavista officials over human-rights violations. Venezuela will impose counter sanctions of their own — as Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega did in December — barring entry for alleged perpetrators of human-rights violations in Iraq, Syria, and Vietnam.
In his speech, Maduro did not specify how many U.S officials would be subject to the ban. However, to get the ball rolling he named former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former CIA Director George Tenet, Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Republican Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen and Mario Díaz-Balart of Florida, both Cuban Americans.
"There can be no entry for terrorists to Venezuela. Get out of here, terrorists!" Maduro said.
The sitting U.S. congressmen have, however, laughed off and dismissed Maduro's strategy and labels. Ros-Lehtinen is "proud," and likewise Rubio has said "I want [Venezuela] to have freedom, human rights, and to be banned by a dictator like Nicolas Maduro is a badge of honor."
U.S. tourists have also not needed paperwork and fees to dissuade them from traveling to Venezuela. Their presence has plummeted in recent years, due to a rising crime rate, consumer shortages and social turmoil.
According to the U.S. State Department, the number of U.S. citizens visiting Venezuela has dropped by 75% since 2010.

The many cannot be governed by the many. It is the supremely solitary one who governs the many. Activity cannot be controlled by activity. It is he who is stable and single who controls the world's activities. Therefore in order that the many may all be equally sustained, the ruler must maintain his oneness to the highest degree. In order that activities may all equally function, the originator of them must not be dual. That things are what they are is not a matter of wilfulness: they must follow the principle proper to them. For integrating them there is a basis. For uniting them there is a head. Then, though complex, they are not disordered; though multiple, they cause no confusion. . . .
Therefore, if guided according to an integrated principle, we know that things, though multiple, may be kept under a single rule.
Although the Han Dynasty was restored after the tragic reign of Wang Mang, the droughts which led to starvation and he social unrest which undermined political order continued. Growing disunity amongst the regions of China became so evident that the last forty years of Han rule, from 180 to 220 C.E., were only nominally under the dynasty's control. When a usurper founded the short-lived Wei Dynasty in 220, the new rulers adhered to the failed policies of the past and thereby inaugurated a "period of disunity" which lasted for centuries. Early in this era of growing turmoil, the Confucian philosophy, inaugurated by Tung Chung-shu and incorporating yin-yang theories, had degenerated into little more than ritual and superstition. Because the perspectives it rep resented were based on texts written in a modernized Chinese script, these views were subsumed under the rubric New Text (or New Script) school. Against them, a number of scholars insisted on returning to the older Confucian teachings, written in an earlier script, and they became known as the Old Text (or Old Script) school. By the end of the Han era, these competing schools had exhausted their insights, and learning languished, whilst the social and political milieu decayed. Within this context, an individual of spectacular genius arose to provide a new impetus to Taoist and Confucian thought.
Wang Pi was born in 226 and died twenty-three years later, leaving no trace of his personal life for historians to record. His genius manifested itself early on, so that by the time he departed the human arena, he had launched a new Taoist movement, known as hsuan hsueh, 'the dark learning' or neo-Taoism. He also provided the impulse that would emerge as tao hsueh, 'learning of the Truth' or neo-Confucianism. Joining a growing number of scholars who saw no point in serving corrupt and ineffectual governments, Wang Pi rejected the stifling and mechanical court ritual propagated in the name of Confucius. Instead, he sought a freer life with fellow scholars who enjoyed sojourns in the countryside, philosophical debates, and discussions divorced from the immediate demands of governance. Whilst the New Text school had elevated Confucius to the rank of a god, the Old Text school once again saw him as a remarkably wise individual. Wang Pi accepted this latter view and revered Confucius all the more for his attainments as a human being. He was, according to Wang Pi, the one great Sage in Chinese history. Yet despite his awe for Confucius, Wang Pi turned to the ancient Taoist teachers to understand the nature of things.
From Wang Pi's standpoint, the pervasive ritualism of Han and Wei scholars made the teachings of Confucius appear superficial. The fact that Confucius refused to speak of ultimate matters, save for an occasional allusion, did not mean, Wang Pi thought, that they were of no consequence. Rather, his silence indicated their transcending importance, and one had to penetrate that silence to understand the teachings of Confucius. Though trained in the Confucian classics, Wang Pi turned to Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu for illumination. Here he found the contrasts and categorical statements a veil over the meaning of their doctrines, even though they pointed beyond themselves. Mastering Confucian and Taoist techniques of analysis and argumentation, Wang Pi rejected as useless scholarly concern with epigraphy and the authentication of texts, and turned to the fundamental meaning of each treatise by seeking to find the ultimate principles upon which it was based. In doing so, he sought the elusive philosophical standpoint behind the crafted written statements of the ancient Sages, and he brought a rigorously philosophical mind to his efforts.
Desiring, one may see the manifestations. . . .
The threshold of all secrets.
Wang Pi held that behind the activities of Nature, behind words written down, behind concepts in consciousness lay hsuan, the darkness or mystery which is the root of all. In elucidating this central idea, Wang Pi founded hsuan hsueh, the dark learning, which brought together Taoist principles and Confucian concepts. He taught that Confucius was the greatest Sage in history, but he had a Taoist conception of the Sage. This fusion of Taoist and Confucian thought was fully reflected in Wang Pi's commentary on the I Ching, the Chou Yi Lueh-li, which compelled Chinese thinkers to reconsider traditional ideas.
Wang Pi, like many of his contemporaries, was skilled in ming li, name-principles, that is, adept in distinguishing terms and analyzing principles. Chuang Tzu had used logical analysis to sift meaning from the paradoxes of his interlocutors, but Confucians typically avoided ming ii because it had no direct bearing on governing the state. For Wang Pi, however, analysis of concepts was no mere game or amusement. Although such activity lacked immediate bearing on daily affairs, it could establish criteria for sense and meaning. Whilst others recognized its negative value – showing, for example, that any action once taken could never be undone, however much one reversed the resulting circumstances – and learnt about the problems of conceptualization – how, for example, can a general concept apply to more than one concrete thing – Wang Pi used ming li for metaphysical purposes. Accepting the view that the world consists of innumerable irreversible instants and that the relation between concepts and things is elusive, Wang Pi rejected the sceptical standpoint which seemed to follow. Rather, the mystery (hsuan) behind the attempt to understand is not a nescient void but the indescribable plenum of ultimate reality, which defies the categories of space and time and escapes the reach of every concept.
For Wang Pi, the dialectical exercise of ming ii provided the epistemological basis for understanding ontology, and the meta physical expression of reality was best given in the classic I Ching or Book of Transformations. The I Ching consists of sixty-four hexagrams or sets of six horizontal solid or broken lines set out in every possible arrangement. Drawn, some say, from the cracks which appear when tortoise shells are heated by diviners seeking oracular understanding in the patterns thus produced, or derived, according to others, from quadratic algebraic descriptions of the cube of space, these enigmatic figures constitute the heart of the book. The venerated Duke of Chou and King Wen are said to have written the basic text which explicates the images, whilst Confucius is the traditional author of the commentaries on the text. Each hexagram represents both a mode of transformation and the nexus wherein that change occurs. The hexagrams do not represent things or even states of affairs, therefore, but rather the dynamic alterations in all things and states of affairs. They are, for Wang Pi, the paradigms of all concepts as well as their origin.
Fu signifies a reversion to the original state – a state constituting the mind of Heaven and Earth. The cessation of activity always means quiescence, but this stillness is not something opposed to activity. The cessation of speech means silence, but this silence is not something opposed to speech. Thus though Heaven and Earth, in their greatness, are richly endowed with the myriad things; though their thunder moves and their winds circulate; though through their evolving operations the myriad transformations come to be – yet it is the silent and supreme non-being (wu) that is their origin. Therefore it is with the cessation of activity within Earth that the mind of Heaven and Earth becomes visible.
Being, yu, depends on non-being, wu, for its existence, which is not a something that stands against non-being, but rather a ceaseless activity each moment of which is an aspect of its origin. Wu is the function (yung) which makes yu active and therefore useful, but wu is also ultimate substance (t'i) from which all substances (yu) derive. (Wang Pi was the first Chinese philosopher to distinguish yung and t'i, concepts critical to later neo-Confucian thought.) In a way reminiscent of Shiva Nataraja, yu is the eternal dance of wu, which is ever still in its own nature.
For Wang Pi, non-being is the origin of being. He saw the same truth taught in the archaic yarrow-stalk method of consulting the I Ching, in which fifty stalks are present but only forty-nine are used in divination.
In the expansion of the numbers of Heaven, fifty is taken as a basis. But use is made only of forty-nine, so that one is not used. It is not used, but through it the use of the others takes place. It is not a number, but through it the numbers are formed. . . . It is through the totality of existing things that their origin is made manifest.
Wu, for Wang Pi, stands beyond yu, which is archetypically represented in the sixty-four hexagrams. Wit is not an empty nothing, however, but a plenum which eludes conceptualization or depiction. It is the Supreme Ultimate (t'ai chi) of the I Ching and the tao of the Tao Te Ching. "All things and shapes may be reduced to oneness," Wang Pi wrote, "but from what derives this oneness? It derives from wu." The oneness of the ruling line is wu immanent in yu, whilst wu in itself transcends yu as its mysterious Urgrund.
Wang Pi maintained the studied ambivalence of Chuang Tzu in respect to representation and language.
Symbols serve to express ideas. Words serve to explain symbols. For the complete expression of ideas there is nothing like symbols, and for the complete explanation of symbols there is nothing like words.
Once the symbols have been grasped, the words may be forgotten. . . . Once the ideas have been grasped, the symbols may be forgotten.
In fact, he argued, if one clings to words, one will fail to grasp symbols, and if one is fascinated with symbols, one will fail to realize the ideas. It is essential, he held, that one forget words once symbols are understood and forget symbols once ideas are grasped. His contemporaries had difficulty in understanding what to them seemed to be an inconsistent doctrine, and Wang Pi's meaning was not fully comprehended until the neo-Confucian renaissance seven hundred years later.
The I Ching constitutes the paradigm of Wang Pi's view. The hexagrams are abstract symbols of ideas of modes of transformation. The words of King Wen, the Duke of Chou and Confucius are explanations of the symbols. Once the hexagram is fully understood for what it is, one may – indeed must – forget the words. Yet once the idea of a distinctive nexus of transformation is grasped, even the symbol must be forgotten. Failure to let go when on the threshold of insight leaves one playing with words and symbols. Words can completely express symbols, but words cannot substitute for symbols; symbols can completely express ideas, but they cannot replace them. The general principle (li) which Wang Pi seems to indicate is that yu can be completely depicted or described save for its ground and origin, wu, which transcends ideas and yet is immanent within them. For Wang Pi, the dark learning is the sensing of non-being within being, and being within non-being. Wu or non-being is pen-t'i, pure being. If it were wholly inexpressible, it could not be intimated, much less expressed, in words. But if it were wholly expressible, it would not be pure. This standpoint allowed Wang Pi to preserve the Confucian concern with conceptual detail and with principles (li) whilst also adhering to the Taoist teaching of the unique source of all being.
Concepts and principles underlie the phenomenal world, whilst ideas are the veridical impressions of these concepts and principles upon consciousness. Like Plato, who taught that Ideas or Forms are eternal and objective and that the highest aspect of the soul is "most like the Ideas" and so can understand them, Wang Pi held that when human consciousness practises fu, return, it can understand the mind of Heaven and earth. For Wang Pi, Confucius was the greatest of the Sages, even though he never spoke of wu, non-being, because he spoke of everything from the standpoint of wu. Lao Tzu spoke of wu, thereby providing others with the critical key to the mysterious learning, but in doing so, he had to speak from the standpoint of the fullest understanding of yu, being – outside wu, so to speak.
Ho Yen, who died in the same year as Wang Pi, argued that the Sage differed from other men in that he is free of emotions, a view that was typical of earlier philosophers. Despite his penchant for metaphysical abstraction, Wang Pi insisted that his teachings are reflected in every aspect of the phenomenal world. Since Confucius was indubitably a Sage, and since he lamented the death of Yen Hui, his favourite disciple, how could the Sage be said to have no emotions? The Sage is not an inane spiritual entity but an embodied consciousness. His intelligence is spiritual, that is, beyond the snares of form and habitude. Nonetheless, as a being in the world with a body, he shares in the five emotions – joy, anger, sorrow, pleasure and hatred. Being spiritual in mind, however, the Sage identifies with the harmony of the whole and is imbued with wu, non-being. Thus when emotions arise in him as reactions to states and events, he is aware of them but does not become ensnared by them. For Wang Pi, the greatness of the Sage is not his indifference to human experience but his ability to avoid being trapped by any particular experience. Identifying with the human condition, he can teach and guide human beings; shunning the grip of the emotions, he remains aloof with unclouded knowledge, ever impartial and unshaken.
Spirit has no physical form and no spatial restrictions, whereas concrete things (ch'i) are produced through an integration of elements. When there is an integration without form, there is a spiritual entity. The nature of the myriad things is spontaneity. It should be followed but not interfered with. . . .
The Sage understands Nature perfectly and knows clearly the conditions of all things. Therefore he goes along with them but takes no unnatural action. He is in harmony with them but does not impose anything on them. He removes their delusions and eliminates their doubts. Hence the people's minds are not con fused, and things are contented with their own nature.
The Sage is great because he does consciously and with a minimum of expended energy what everything in Nature does without being aware of it. He is neither an aberration nor a prodigy; rather, he is the exemplar for humanity from the standpoint of the whole of Nature.
Tao follows its intrinsic nature.
Man does not oppose Earth and therefore can com fort all things, for his standard is the Earth. Earth does not oppose Heaven and therefore can sustain all things, for its standard is Heaven. Heaven does not oppose tao and therefore can cover all things, for its standard is tao. Tao does not oppose Nature and there fore it attains its character of being.
To follow Nature as its standard is to model after the square while within the square and after the circle while within the circle, and not to oppose Nature in any way. By 'Nature' is meant something ultimate that cannot be labelled.
To use knowledge is not as good as to be beyond knowledge. Body and soul are not as good as essence and form. Essence and form are not as good as the formless. That with modes is not as good as that without modes. Hence these model after one another. Because tao obeys Nature, Heaven relies on tao. Be cause Heaven models after tao, Earth follows Heaven as its principle. Because Earth models after Heaven, Man uses Earth as his form.
Wang Pi's philosophical subtlety is reflected in his perspicacious elucidation of the hierarchical order of being. Lao Tzu had spoken of destiny, ming, in ways which fit comfortably with the concept of the decree of Heaven, t'ien ming. Shortly after Wang Pi's time, Kuo Hsiang would argue that Nature is spontaneous in its ceaseless transformations, and that 'Heaven' is nothing more than a name for the general process. Wang Pi did not wish to slip into the avoidable theistic superstitions which had plagued omen-mongers during the later Han Dynasty. Yet the immanentist view of Kuo Hsiang invited a deterministic perspective in which the Sage could have no role as a teacher of human beings – since nothing can really be altered from its causally pre-ordained fate in a deterministic universe. Wang Pi replaced the old Taoist ming with the Confucian li, principle, but gave li a transcendental meaning. The order of things does imply a destiny for Wang Pi, but the transcendental nature of its underlying principles means that they are manifested in various possible activities. The Sage represents the most universal and harmonious reflection of those principles, and individuals can become better reflectors by following the teachings of the Sage.
If one is agreeable but does not follow indiscriminately, and is joyful without deviating from the Mean, one will be able to associate with superiors without flattery and with subordinates without disrespect. As one understands the causes of fortune and misfortune, one will not speak carelessly, and as one understands the necessary principles, one will not change one's good conduct.
Taking the position of the superior and contending with subordinates are things that can be changed. . . . If one can return to obey the fundamental principle (li) and alter the impulse to violate moral principles, rest with the firm and correct, refrain from drifting away from the Way (tao), and practise humanity (jen) beginning with oneself, good fortune will follow one.
Although Wang Pi died before he reached the traditional Confucian age of full adulthood, he had permanently altered the Taoist perspective and furnished many of the concepts which would revitalize the Confucian tradition. Buddhists coming into China in the fourth and fifth centuries found his concepts and phraseology congenial to their philosophical views. He synthesized Taoist and Confucian thought so effectively that he disconcerted those of more traditional views for generations, and even those who strongly disagreed with him marvelled at his sheer genius. Yet he rooted his teaching in the deceptively simple idea that a single reality could be found within and behind the shimmering tapestry of the world.
There is a great constancy in tao, and there is generality in principle (li). By holding on to the tao of old, we can master the present. Although we live in the present age, we can know the past. This is why it is said that one may know the world without going out of doors or looking through the windows.
Non-being (wu) is inherent in the one. But when we look for it in the multiplicity of things, it is like tao, which can be sought after but not seen, listened to but not heard, reached for but not touched. If we know it, we do not need to go out of doors. If we do not know it, the further we go, the more beclouded we become. If we know the general principle of things, we can know through thinking even if we do not travel. If we know the basis of things, even if we do not see them, we can point to the principle of right and wrong.
He who sees action in inaction, and inaction in action, is wise among men.
Even whilst accomplishing all action, he remains established in yoga.

Why are there so few autism (FASD) specialists?
December 3, 2018 edmontonfetalalcoholnetwork FASD Resources and Information, Uncategorized Leave a comment
When Natasha Marrus started her residency in general psychiatry in 2007, none of her 11 classmates ever mentioned autism. They eagerly discussed schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and occasionally a "really tough" resident would talk up personality disorders, recalls Marrus, now a child psychiatrist at the Autism Clinical Center at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. But even those who were considering working with children did not share her interest in autism.
Sarah Spence had a similar experience while training to become a neurologist in the 1990s. "My boss was thrilled I wanted to do autism, because nobody in neurology did this," says Spence, co-director of the Autism Spectrum Center at Boston Children's Hospital.
Decades later, both scientists are still in the minority: According to the latest estimates, there are more than 1 million autistic children in the United States but only about 8,300 child psychiatrists, 1,500 child neurologists and 1,000 developmental-behavioral pediatricians. And within those small numbers, autism remains an unpopular choice: "It's not a perfect analogy, but I feel like autism within psychiatry is like psychiatry within medicine," Marrus says.
These doctors are not alone on the frontlines of autism. Psychologists play a crucial role in screening for the condition, and some also provide behavioral therapy. But autistic children must generally see a specialist to receive a diagnosis. And because these children frequently have additional psychiatric conditions, as well as physical ones such as epilepsy, frequent infections, sleep disorders and gastrointestinal problems, they benefit greatly from the medical expertise specialized pediatricians can offer.
Hard hit by the shortage are rural communities in the U.S., where many people with autism receive specialist medical attention only in an emergency, when a behavioral crisis has become too much for their families to handle. In South Dakota, for example, there is approximately one child psychiatrist for every 100,000 children under age 18.
The situation is no better elsewhere in the world. Regions such as North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia are home to the majority of children living with autism and intellectual disability, according to a report in The Lancet in August, but have few medical personnel qualified to care for these children. "This is a global problem, and the problem is much more pronounced in low- and middle-income countries," says Rosa Hoekstra, senior lecturer in psychology at King's College London.

It's Shakespeare at his most stripped down and most switched up.
Queen Mab Productions is using just six actors for its production of "Romeo and Juliet." That makes for some intriguing double casting; from scene to scene, the same performer might play one intention and then its exact opposite. Even the romantic leads do double duty.
Drew Watkins plays both Romeo and the Prince who exiles Romeo from Verona. Mairin Lee plays both Juliet and Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, who in his second line says he hates "all Montagues" — as in, every member of Romeo's family.
David Everett Moore plays both Lord Capulet, who tells Juliet that if she doesn't marry Count Paris (AeJay Mitchell) she must "never after look me in the face," and Friar Laurence, who does more than anyone else to help Juliet marry Romeo.
Rebecca S'manga Frank directs the show, which is staged at Oakland's Brooklyn Preserve, a former Presbyterian church.


My granddaughter has made some sinful lifestyle choices. How do I respond to the situation? Do you need the Holy Spirit to go to heaven? Why is there so much mixture of law and grace in churches today? What is the gift of tongues? What are the earthly consequences to making fleshly decisions? To what degree is God involved in causing them?


As a process development engineer, Josh develops processes and equipment to manufacture medical devices. Whether it is a stent saving someone's life after a heart attack or allowing someone to stop taking Warfarin, he takes great pride in knowing that the products Boston Scientific makes help people, including his father who has a Boston Scientific stent.
From a very young age, I was interested in how things worked – I was always taking things apart and putting them back together. I received my first LEGO set at age three and spent a lot of time trying to make bigger and better creations with more capabilities. I can definitely see how those interests led me to STEM and getting an Aerospace Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota.
The STEM Council has provided many awesome opportunities for me to share my interest in STEM while developing my professional skills. I am currently a member of the External Events Committee, which organizes Boston Scientific sponsorship and involvement in local events. We also work with several local museums and STEM organizations to sponsor, plan and provide educational activities for the community. Leading volunteer events has given me the chance to enhance my leadership and communication skills. Organizing events has allowed me to hone my communication skills.
Our everyday lives are filled with problem solving opportunities and STEM provides us with the necessary tools to tackle those issues. Finding a way to make something easier to use, or faster, or lighter, or more efficient are all examples of what STEM can help us achieve. STEM provides me with opportunities – opportunities to try new things, work with different technologies, test out different processes and work with new people. Each opportunity allows me to learn more about how things work and how to be a better problem solver.
What advice do you have for people entering STEM careers?
When confronted with a problem, no matter how insurmountable it may seem, don't be afraid to use good judgment and try to solve it. If the solution works, fantastic – find a way to make it better or move on to the next hurdle.


A flabbergasted home owner has woken up twice in the last week to find someone had cut their hedge in the middle of the night.
The bizarre crime has happened at an address in St Edwards Drive in Sudbrooke, near Lincoln, twice during the last week.
Police say they have received reports of persons going to the property and cutting the hedge bordering the property.
The force is so determined to catch the culprit, it will be deploying extra patrols to the area for the next couple of weeks in a bid to bring the person to justice.
A force spokesperson added: "Someone has cut a large circular hole in a private hedge in Sudbrooke.
"We are keen to speak to the person who has done this and while on this occasion it is not a criminal offence it seems a very bizarre thing to do.
"The sensible thing to do where there is a problem is talk to whoever owns the hedge.

Ariana Grande following Manchester tragedy: "broken…i am so sorry"
Last night in Manchester, England, an Ariana Grande concert ended in a tragic act of violence, when 19 people were killed from an explosion, and 50 other people were injured. Police are investigating the explosions as an act of terror, and concertgoers streamed out of the venue in a state of panic. A representative of Grande's confirmed that she wasn't hurt, and on Twitter, she made a statement: "broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so sorry. i don't have words."
from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words.
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) May 23, 2017
Grande's manager Scooter Braun also made a statement following the attack, via Twitter. "Tonight our hearts are broken. Words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless attack," he says. "We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all of those affected in your hearts and prayers."
The parties responsible for the explosion have not been identified, but a Billboard report says that officials suspect it was the result of a suicide bomber.

The Girl Who Cried Wolf is de eenentwintigste aflevering van het achtste seizoen van het tienerdrama Beverly Hills, 90210, die voor het eerst werd uitgezonden op 25 februari 1998.

Plot

Noah en Valerie zitten nu allebei op het politiebureau, Noah vertelt dat ze seks hebben gehad met wederzijdse toestemming maar Valerie vertelt dat zij nooit toestemming heeft gegeven en dat zij onder invloed was van GHB. Nu is het de beurt aan de politie over wie ze geloven. David en Donna wachten in de wachtkamer op wat er gebeuren gaat. Noah mag weg en nu moet hij opbiechten van de nacht aan Donna, die hier niet blij mee is. David neemt Valerie niets kwalijk omdat hij ervan uitgaat dat Noah haar verkracht heeft. Dit doet de sfeer tussen David en Donna ook niet goed. De rest van de vriendengroep denkt dat Valerie zelf schuldig is vanwege haar verleden waarin ze meer leugens verteld heeft. Brandon die Valerie niet af wil vallen heeft moeilijk met deze situatie. Valerie kan de sfeer in het huis niet meer aan en besluit om mee te gaan naar het huis van David. Dan blijkt dat de openbare aanklager Noah niet aanklaagt omdat er niet genoeg bewijs is. Valerie is hier razend over en besluit Noah toch aan te klagen voor de civiele rechtbank om smartengeld te eisen van Noah. Nu begint de groep toch te beseffen dat Valerie nu misschien toch de waarheid spreekt. Ondertussen weet Josh dat hij dit veroorzaakt heeft omdat hij de GHB in het drankje heeft gedaan maar kan dit niet vertellen aan Noah. Daarom probeert hij op een andere manier hulp te bieden, wat niet altijd gewaardeerd wordt door Noah.

Als dit nog niet genoeg is voor Donna speelt haar rugpijn steeds meer op die ze opgelopen heeft bij het ongeluk. Ze slikt steeds meer pijnstillers om de pijn weg te drukken. Als deze op zijn en geen nieuwe meer krijgt komt er een oplossing, Josh heeft nog wat zware pijnstillers die hij wel aan haar wil geven. Donna raakt steeds meer verslaafd aan deze pillen en smeekt Josh om meer pillen. Noah zoekt toenadering naar Donna maar zij is alleen bezig om aan pillen te komen en duwt Noah weg. Tot overmaat van ramp krijgt ze op haar werk steeds meer werk erbij. Als Josh niets meer geeft dan gaat Donna langs bij haar vader die in het kliniek werkt bij Kelly en breekt daar het medicijnenkast open.

Steve trekt nog steeds op met de politieagente die hij pas ontmoet heeft en Steve en Brandon krijgen een kans om een keer mee te rijden als zij dienst heeft. Ze nemen de uitnodiging aan en willen zo een verhaal schrijven voor hun krant. Als ze mee rijden ontmoeten ze de partner van haar, een oude rot in het vak. Ze krijgen een oproep om een overvaller op te pakken en dan zien de politiemensen een bekende draaideurcrimineel lopen waarvan ze denken dat hij degene is die ze op moeten pakken en zetten ze de achtervolging in. Als hij in het nauw gedreven is dan wordt hij met veel geweld opgepakt. Brandon vindt dit te veel van het goede en zet vraagtekens met deze arrestatie. Vooral als later blijkt dat deze onschuldig is. Brandon wil dit allemaal in de krant zetten maar Steve en de politieagente vragen hem dit niet te doen om de carrière van haar partner niet te ruïneren

In a lot of the projects I work on daily, I find myself using the SPServices library (by Marc Anderson) for a lot of different types of interaction. Sometimes, I wrap up all of the functionality within a content editor web part that can be exported and potentially placed in another location of the site. jQuery is pretty much always loaded on these sites, but the SPServices library may not be loaded. Here's a quick way to make sure that it's available for web parts that will make use of the library.
// SPServices is already loaded, so execute our callback function which contains the rest of the page initialization.
// This is the callback function called by the insureSPServices function.
// when we're ready, let's make sure that SPServices is loaded.
This will make sure that the SPServices library has been loaded before attempting to make any calls to the library.


Over the past 6 months Angela has been commissioned by Camira Fabrics to create a portfolio of exciting new textile designs for their technical knitting capability here in the U.K with the aim of innovating and diversifying across market sectors. Camira Teknit has been a leader in technical knitted solutions for task chair mesh backs and screens for the contract office market for over ten years. Angela has been exploring unchartered design and production territory experimenting with stitch, structures, yarns, colour and product application which is yielding a collection of extremely fresh evocative textiles with remarkable aesthetics, handle and application. The most amazing and intriguing outcome is these new textiles don't even look knitted. The concept is inspired by architectural glass and the reflective facades of the urban environment. This is where technical knit mimics the architectural fabric of the city. Here's a snapshot of some of the experimental structures.

Suspense-filled (not!) Senate vote on Bush tax cuts
by Deirdre Shesgreen December 4, 2010 @ 12:00 am Updated March 4, 2022 @ 9:09 pm
The Senate's Saturday showdown over renewing the Bush-era tax cuts unfolded with no surprises, except perhaps that the chamber actually held such a rare weekend session.
Democrats failed to get the 60 votes needed to end the debate on their two tax cut proposals-one to renew only the tax cuts for those making under $250,000 and a second to renew breaks for those making under $1 million.
Connecticut's two Senators split on the issue; retiring Sen. Chris Dodd, a Democrat, voted with his party in favor of both, while Sen. Joseph Lieberman, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, voted against each proposal, as did most Republicans.
Earlier in the week, Connecticut's five Democratic House members all voted in favor of that chamber's tax cut bill, which would let the breaks for those making over $250,000 expire at the end of the year, while renewing the middle and lower tier ones.
The "yes" tally included Rep. Jim Himes, D-4th District, who had he said favored renewing the top-tier breaks as well as the lower tier ones. Himes asked Democratic leaders to bring up the broader GOP-favored bill (a futile request), but said he voted for the more limited Democratic version because some tax cuts are better than none.
"Some members said I want all or nothing," he told Fox News. "I wasn't in that camp."

In the end, as soon-to-be House Speaker John Boehner, D-Ohio, so aptly noted earlier this week, none of these votes mattered since Democrats knew going into these votes that they didn't have the support needed to send their proposals to the president. In the meantime, the real action continues to be closed-door negotiations between White House officials and congressional leaders over a temporary extension of all breaks, with some possible bones thrown to Democrats.

Our team has been combining design expertise with exhibition construction technology for more than a decade.
In doing so, we make use of cutting-edge multimedia technology and state-of-the-art machinery. These elements form the basic prerequisites for our stringent quality objectives, which we pursue right down to the finest detail.
But it is something even more fundamental that defines each and every one of us: a passion to make your exhibition appearance successful. Because your success is our success.
In following this recipe, we do not impose any limits on our ideas.
And by combining our outside-the-box ideas with what is actually possible, we not only generate results that can be seen, but ones that attract attention, arouse curiosity, amaze the visitor, and – most importantly – convince them.
But what we need most of all for everything to work and interact perfectly is for you to light the fuse. We will then fan the fire until the smoke sends out a signal to your potential visitors.
We always prefer the shortest route.
