Deregulation Could Lift Big Bank Profits 30%
Andrew Bary
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon: Big banks spend heavily on compliance and regulatory requirements. Bred Trent for Barron's
Recent proposals by the Treasury Department to ease the regulatory burden on banks and support greater lending may lead to some changes that would benefit the nation's leading banks, but a major overhaul is unlikely given the political gridlock in Washington.
The recommendations fall into two groups: changes that can be made by regulators without congressional approval and those that require action on Capitol Hill. Wall Street is most focused on regulatory relief, since Congress is unlikely to take up any legislation to modify the massive Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was passed seven years ago in the wake of the financial crisis.
"The list of recommendations that don't need congressional action for the most part make good common sense, don't affect the safety and soundness of the banking system, and stand a reasonable chance of taking place," says Glenn Schorr, an analyst at Evercore ISI. The good news for banks is that about two-thirds of the nearly 100 Treasury recommendations can be made by regulators alone.
That's good news for investors, as well. In a report issued earlier this year, Brian Kleinhanzl and Michael Brown, analysts at KBW, estimated that the big banks, including Morgan Stanley (ticker: MS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs Group (GS), Citigroup (C), State Street (STT), and Bank of New York Mellon (BK), could get a cumulative earnings boost averaging 30% if a series of regulatory-relief actions take place—among them, the capital rule on risk-free deposits, a relaxation of the Volcker rule, and a reduction in the excess capital that large U.S. banks hold relative to overseas rivals.
THESE POTENTIAL REGULATORY actions may not occur until 2018, however, in part due to a depleted group of bank regulators in Washington. President Donald Trump recently nominated Randal Quarles, an investment manager, for a vacant spot on the Federal Reserve's seven-member board of governors. Quarles would take a lead role in bank supervision.
It will take time for his nomination to clear Congress, and there are two other vacancies on the Fed board. Then there is the question
of whether Trump will renominate Janet Yellen as Fed chair; her term ends in February 2018. Quarles is viewed favorably by bankers, given his background, his publicly stated view that "the dramatic increase in bank capital" has led to higher interest rates, and his criticism of the Volcker rule, which banned proprietary trading at banks.
"We're taking a wait-and-see approach to potential regulatory reform," says KBW's Kleinhanzl. In a podcast last week, KBW Washington analyst Brian Gardner described the Treasury proposals overall as limited in scope, which surprised some investors given Trump's hostility to Dodd-Frank. "It called for a review and modification of many parts of Dodd-Frank, not for it to be scrapped or dramatically overhauled," he said.
Most bankers are resigned to Dodd-Frank, but would be happy to see many of the Treasury recommendations implemented. One of the biggest potential changes includes an easing of the capital burden on banks taking institutional deposits that are held in risk-free Treasuries or at the Federal Reserve.
This most affects trust banks like State Street, which had about 40% of its deposits in this category at year-end 2016, according to KBW. Anticipation of capital relief on deposits already has lifted the shares of State Street and Bank of New York.
Another area where banks could get a break would be a scaling back of the Fed's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review from once a year to once every two years. The CCAR process is a drain on the managements of the nation's largest 34 banks, involving multiple stress scenarios and a huge need for documentation. A few years ago, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the 500 bank employees who were dedicated to handling the CCAR process "conducted over 130 independent qualitative and quantitative assessments of the firm's forecast methodologies and results."
The banks recently got a favorable evaluation on the CCAR, which should allow them, on average, to return nearly all of their earnings in the coming 12 months to shareholders in dividends and share repurchases.

Overall, regulatory compliance has become a large cost for banks. M&T Bank (MTB), a regional based in Buffalo, N.Y., said its costs of complying with regulation increased to $440 million in 2016 from $90 million in 2010 and now account for 15% of total expenses. Last year, the bank faced 27 different exams from six regulatory agencies. The cost is much greater at the largest banks.
A REPEAL OF THE VOLCKER RULE is unlikely, as it would require congressional approval, but regulators have the ability to modify what has become an unwieldy rule that is overseen by several different bank regulators.
Banks with large trading operations, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, spend heavily to meet compliance rules. The Treasury proposes to simplify the definition of proprietary trading and allow greater flexibility in market-making and hedging, according to Schorr. The idea is to improve market liquidity. Market-making may become more important as the Federal Reserve starts to unwind its $4.5 trillion bond portfolio later this year.
It may take time, but there's a good chance that banks will get some regulatory relief during the next year, and that should be welcome news for shareholders already benefiting from positive earnings trends and a potential reduction in the corporate tax rate.

Hayley Munguia
Hayley Munguia (°1993, Round Rock, United States) makes photos and media art. With a conceptual approach, Munguia tries to grasp language. Transformed into art, language becomes an ornament. At that moment, lots of ambiguities and indistinctnesses, which are inherent to the phenomenon, come to the surface.
Her photos directly respond to the surrounding environment and uses everyday experiences from the artist as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. By investigating language on a meta-level, she tries to develop forms that do not follow logical criteria, but are based only on subjective associations and formal parallels, which incite the viewer to make new personal associations.
Her works focus on the inability of communication which is used to visualise reality, the attempt of dialogue, the dissonance between form and content and the dysfunctions of language. In short, the lack of clear references are key elements in the work. By choosing mainly formal solutions, she tries to approach a wide scale of subjects in a multi-layered way, likes to involve the viewer in a way that is sometimes physical and believes in the idea of function following form in a work.
Her works are based on formal associations which open a unique poetic vein. Multilayered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. Hayley Munguia currently lives and works in New York.

Eplerenone, a selective aldosterone blocker, in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction
N Engl J Med. 2003 Apr 3;348(14):1309-21. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa030207. Epub 2003 Mar 31.

1 University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA. bpitt@umich.edu
Background: Aldosterone blockade reduces mortality and morbidity among patients with severe heart failure. We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the effect of eplerenone, a selective aldosterone blocker, on morbidity and mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure.
Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to eplerenone (25 mg per day initially, titrated to a maximum of 50 mg per day; 3319 patients) or placebo (3313 patients) [correction] in addition to optimal medical therapy. The study continued until 1012 deaths occurred. The primary end points were death from any cause and death from cardiovascular causes or hospitalization for heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or ventricular arrhythmia.
Results: During a mean follow-up of 16 months, there were 478 deaths in the eplerenone group and 554 deaths in the placebo group (relative risk, 0.85; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.75 to 0.96; P=0.008). Of these deaths, 407 in the eplerenone group and 483 in the placebo group were attributed to cardiovascular causes (relative risk, 0.83; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.72 to 0.94; P=0.005). The rate of the other primary end point, death from cardiovascular causes or hospitalization for cardiovascular events, was reduced by eplerenone (relative risk, 0.87; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.79 to 0.95; P=0.002), as was the secondary end point of death from any cause or any hospitalization (relative risk, 0.92; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.86 to 0.98; P=0.02). There was also a reduction in the rate of sudden death from cardiac causes (relative risk, 0.79; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.64 to 0.97; P=0.03). The rate of serious hyperkalemia was 5.5 percent in the eplerenone group and 3.9 percent in the placebo group (P=0.002), whereas the rate of hypokalemia was 8.4 percent in the eplerenone group and 13.1 percent in the placebo group (P<0.001).
Conclusions: The addition of eplerenone to optimal medical therapy reduces morbidity and mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure.

The simple fact is, that we don't like the way... that not using it ages and damages your skin and possibly gives you skin cancer, so in this week's blog we find solutions to the top excuses for not wearing sunscreen.
"I don't have time to put a thousand products on my face in the morning"
There are heaps of BB creams available on the market. These easy combination products generally have a bit of everything thrown in making them a great product for those that find mornings tough. Look for one that has a high SPF and use enough to make sure you have plenty of coverage. Our favourite? Uvidea XL by La Roche-Posay ($32.95). It's a nice moisturiser with a beautiful melt-in cream texture. Comes in two shades and provides a good amount of coverage creating an even complexion. The best part? It's SPF 50.
"I hate the feeling of sunscreen under my makeup, it makes me look greasy."
The newest advance in sunscreen technology – Colorescience ($79.00). This loose, mineral powder sunscreen looks more like a beautiful makeup than a sand crusted tube of sunscreen, but its protective formulation is made with 100% zinc and titanium, contains no chemicals and is SPF50. The powder base means there is no oily residue and it can be lightly brushed over your makeup without ruining it. The subtle tint also helps to create an even skin tone while allowing you to still look natural and make up free. If you love to swap the gym for outdoor exercise when the weather gets warm, Colorescience provides protection but doesn't slide down your face and into your eyes when sweating.
This excuse is actually a valid one as there are some product bases that can clog pores. Dermatologists even have a specific term for acne caused by inappropriate skincare called Acne Cosmetica. However the use of sunscreen for those with acne is still really important particularly if you are treating the acne. Some anti-acne medications, topical creams and skincare actually contain ingredients that make your skin even more sensitive to the sun. The answer is to look for a sunscreen that specifically states that it is 'non-comedogenic' (non-pore clogging). Zinc based sunscreens are great for acne prone skin because as well as providing sun protection zinc actively reduces inflammation of the hair follicles that cause acne. We recommend SkinCeuticals Ultimate UV Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 30 with Zinc Oxide 90ml $69.00.
Sun damage is both dangerous and ugly and causes all sorts of unwanted side effects in the skin such as sun spots, pigmentation, wrinkles and enlarged pores not to mention the potentially devastating effects on your health – which is why our team won't accept any excuses. If you have a sunscreen excuse we'd love to hear it so that we can find you the perfect sunscreen solution.

A Sipper's Guide to Discovering Mexican Coffee
Home » News & Trends » Central America » A Sipper's Guide to Discovering Mexican Coffee
When you think of Mexican cuisine, you may picture a flavorful taco or spicy guacamole. It is https://parkirpintar.com/how-to-beat-bingo-slot-machines/ because of Payforit guarantees that. But Mexico is one of the world's largest producers of coffee. Free Slots with Bonus Rounds Are you looking for the best place to play free slots with bonus rounds online? https://casillascontracting.us/how-far-is-pechanga-casino-from-here/ In 2016, the country produced over 234,000 metric tons of coffee beans.
How does Mexican coffee compare to other varieties? These have become the favorite of https://myhomes.tv/how-to-plan-a-casino-night/ the players for two reasons. Depending on its region, Mexican coffee beans create some of the smoothest cups of coffee you'll ever taste.
From its origins to tasty recipes, let's explore everything there is to know about Mexican coffee.
The Origins of Mexican Coffee
Mexico began growing some of the highest quality coffee beans in the world during the 18th Century. The crop can be found across 16 Mexican states, although most of it grows in southern Mexico.
When European settlers migrated to Mexico in the late 1700s, they bought sprawling farms where coffee beans could be harvested. Europeans hired Mexican laborers to cultivate the beans and turn them into delicious coffee that would get shipped back to Europe.
Fast forward to 1973, when Mexico's government started INMECAFE, the National Coffee Institute of Mexico.
The program funded rural farmers to support the country's demand for coffee. It provided them with equipment, transportation, and credit so farmers could sell their coffee on the international market. Thanks to INMECAFE, Mexican coffee production increased by 900% between 1973 and 1990.
Unfortunately, during the 1980s, the Mexican government over-borrowed and defaulted on its loans. This led to the collapse of INMECAFE in 1989, and coffee production dropped to less than $370 million by 1991.
Cooperative groups formed over the years to replace INMECAFE and continue boosting Mexican's organic coffee farms.
Today, forecasts suggest coffee exports for Mexico are expected to grow at 3.3 million 60/kg bags during the next year. The United States is currently the biggest importer of Mexican coffee.
Types of Mexican Coffee
Mexican coffee brands are known for being light-bodied and nutty in flavor. The beans create fine and delicate coffee, and many are considered gourmet. Some beans are so dry and acidic they are comparable to white wine.
Chiapas Coffee
Chiapas is one of Mexico's southern states. It was the first region to cultivate coffee beans and continues to be the country's leader in coffee exports. It produces 40% of the country's total coffee.
The climate is hot and tropical, making it ideal for growing beans. Surrounding volcanoes produce fertile and nutrient-rich soil for the crops to thrive.
The coffee beans grown in Chiapas are round and have a lasting body. They feature notes of nuts, citrus, lemons, and chocolate.
Chiapas also produces Café de Altura beans. "Altura" translates to "heights," which makes sense since the beans thrive at an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 feet.
The beans create a smooth and nutty drink. There are often flavors of hazelnut in the coffee. The beverage is smooth with mild acidity and a well-balanced body.
Veracruz Coffee
Veracruz is located on the gulf side of Mexico. It has lowland regions that produce average-tasting coffee beans.
But in its highland region, Veracruz produces highly-sought-after Mexican Altura Coatepec beans.
These crops create medium-bodied coffee with moderate acidity. They have rich aromas and deliver a mouthful of flavor. The beans have floral notes, nutty flavors, and a smooth finish.
All the Ways to Enjoy Mexican Coffee
Since most Mexican coffees are rich in chocolate and nutty aromas, they can be easily turned into delicious drinks. Go a step further and spike the coffee with a splash of Mexican liquor, and you've got yourself a delectable coffee-based cocktail.
Traditional Mexican Coffee
A traditional Mexican coffee recipe incorporates sweet flavors that complement the light-bodied beans.
To create this mouthwatering beverage, you need:
1/2 to 3/4 cup of Mexican coffee grounds (decaf is okay)
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon (plus more for garnish)
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1/3 cup of chocolate syrup
Whipped cream (for garnish)
Brew your coffee by adding the grounds, cinnamon, and water to your coffee pot. While the coffee brews, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar, and chocolate syrup in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat.
Remove from the stove and whisk in vanilla extract. Pour in the brewed coffee and mix. Serve in a coffee mug and top with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon.
Iced Horchata Latte
Mexican coffee is delicious all-year-round. For the warm summer nights, serve your customers a refreshing iced horchata latte.
For this recipe, you will need:
4 shots of Mexican espresso
4 cups of filtered water
1/2 cup of brown rice
1/2 cup of raw almonds
3 teaspoons of maple syrup (use less for less sweetness)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Ricketts discusses 'State of the Cubs'
@MLBastian
MESA, Ariz. -- As he does each spring, Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts spoke to the team ahead of the first full-squad workout on Monday morning. He spoke to largely the same group that came up short of the postseason last season, with one significant exception.
This year, Ricketts also had a new manager in David Ross in the room. Ricketts believes the new leadership, combined with better performance from Chicago's star-laden roster, can lead to better results than last season's 84-win, third-place finish.
"I think 2020 is really a fresh start," Ricketts said on Monday. "I just watched Rossy give his first big team speech and, I mean, the energy, the passion, his ability to communicate. And he's a proven winner. I think he's the right guy for us.
"And on top of that, I think we throw in what I think is the best front office in baseball. And when I look at what we have going into 2020, I think that everyone should feel very strongly that we have all the right pieces in place to get us back on top. And I can't wait for the season to start."
Here are some highlights from Ricketts' 20-minute discussion with reporters on Monday:
On Kris Bryant trade rumors over offseason
"Obviously, we love KB. He's a great player. He's a great teammate. He's just a great part of the team. Most of the things that are out there are just rumors and noise and a lot of it's just not true. But, with respect to all player decisions, you know, if anything was going down that path, it would obviously be a baseball decision. But, we love Kris and we hope he stays healthy and has a great year."
On the luxury-tax thresholds
"The Competitive Balance Tax is a factor that every large-market GM, at least, has to put into their calculus when they create their teams. And I don't know how much fans know, but it's not just a financial penalty. It's a financial penalty that grows over time for the number of years you're above the threshold, and then it gets into a player penalty, which you have to be careful to avoid. Like I said, it's a factor. I don't think it's a defining factor, but it's definitely a factor."
On being limited financially over the offseason
"We kind of have a different circumstance, too, this year. Some of the flexibility that we would've had going into the offseason, we used last summer to bring in [Craig] Kimbrel. But, I trust our baseball guys to put those resources to work in the right way and also keep a long-term perspective and, once again, with the strategy of trying to be as consistent as possible to make the playoffs as often as possible. And I think our guys will make good decisions."
On not taking part in a panel with fans at Cubs Convention
"It got pretty low ratings. It got the lowest ratings of our attendees. And we also don't try to make the story about us, too. Maybe we'll bring it back. We'll see. If people really want it back, I don't mind doing it. It's not a big deal. I certainly don't mind talking to fans. I do that as much as anyone in the game. So, it could come back. I don't know. It's just something we'll have to think through."
On Marquee Sports Network still negotiating with Comcast
"I would tell people that, look, first of all, if it really concerns you, just call Comcast and let them know. But, secondly, these types of discussions typically go like this. They don't go quickly. They're fairly complicated. It's not uncommon for these kind of discussions to end up like this. And then, thirdly, I'm just confident, because I think in the end everyone will do what's right for the actual customers. And that's where I'm confident that we'll get all this behind us by Opening Day or pretty soon anyway."
On how Marquee could impact the team's payroll in the future
"I can't speculate on exactly how much the Marquee Network will change the financial picture of the team. And I can't speculate on where the Competitive Balance Tax is going. It's a good thing for the team. It's a great thing for the team to have the network. And, once it's fully distributed and fully operational, it will give us more financial resources. But, how we put those to use or how much that is, it's way too early to tell."

Albanian Football Association
The Albanian Football Association (Albanian: Federata Shqiptare e Futbollit; FSHF) is the governing body of football in Albania. The association is based in Tirana, Albania. The association organizes the national football leagues of the Albanian Superliga, the First Division, the Second Division, the Third Division, the Albanian Cup and Supercup. Albania women's national football team, Albanian women's football championship, and the Albanian Women's Cup are also overseen. The association also coordinates the activities of the Albania national football team and the Albania national youth football teams such as Under-21, Under-20, Under-19, Under-18, Under-17, Under-16 and Under-15.

The Football Association of Albania was established on 6 June 1930[2] and joined FIFA in 1932 during the congress 12 – 16 June. The association was one of the founding members of UEFA in 1954.[3]

On 14 March 2008, FSHF were suspended by FIFA for "heavy political interference." This means their national teams were banned from playing official matches, representatives banned from official events, and referees unable to officiate FIFA-sanctioned matches.[4] The ban was subsequently lifted as the political interferences were clarified, and on 27 May 2008, Albania played a friendly against Poland.
The current president of FSHF, Armand Duka, has been at this position since 2002 and won the elections for a third term in 2010.[5]
During the 2009 controversy between FSHF and the Albanian government as to the property of the Qemal Stafa Stadium. UEFA insisted in lobbying that the stadium be given to FSHF ownership so that investments on it can be made.[6] In February 2011 it was decided that the new stadium, which will replace the current one and will cost 60M Euro, will be 75% of FSHF and 25% of the Albanian government.[7]

"Though I am content, I don't even know it. I regret my life..."
We have all had our share of bad days: tiring, monotonous, aggrevating, or stretched. On those days, we might feel like the ogre Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) in Shrek Forever After.
As this film opens, Shrek is overwhelmed by his daily routine, which seemed great at the end of the last movie but now feels exhausting: waking up unexpectedly, having his privacy disrupted, needing to fix some problem somewhere, feeling nothing new or original.
This sense of unease can make anyone, ogre or human, feel desperate for an escape... but escape where? to what? and how? Shrek wanted so much to detatch - even if it was just for a little bit - but he never told anyone of his frustration until it all uncorked at his children's birthday party in front of everyone. Even though we (the audience) saw this unfolding, no one around Shrek knew where this sudden explosion came from.
With no one else to turn to now, Shrek found the only comfort in the deceptive Rumpelstiltskin (voiced by Walt Dohrn) who fooled the ogre into sacrificing his very soul in exchange for feeling a dose of the old adventurous life before the routine set in.
As time goes by in our own work, relationships, or family, things can seem stale like Shrek's life. It can even cause us to abandon the "here and now" for the "what if?" - wondering if the grass is greener on the other side. Like Job in the Hebrew Scriptures, we might tempt fate by wondering, "Though I am content, I don't even know it. I regret my life." (Job 9:21).
While this reaction to the monotony or the angst of life can be natural, if left unchecked or unattended, it might lead to broken friendships, poor work ethics, unfinished business, or even divorce and rejection. If we let the frustrations burrow under our skin - and never really tell anyone (especially those most dear to us), disaster can strike.
Like Shrek, we need to realize that our lives are and have always been an adventure, no matter how dry, boring, or horrible it might seem on a daily basis.
The grass is just as green on both sides of any situation - and thanks to the relationships we have carved out in our life, the work we have thus far accomplished, and the gifts and graces God has already blessed us with - it's actually even greener on this side.
But without communication, without talking to those who walk along us in the daily routine, the adventure might be lost. While dreaming of alternate universes we might escape to might seem fun, the isolating solitude within our own head can be the biggest antitode to our own adventure. Shrek had to learn this the hard way - and only an "escape clause" in the contract with Rumpelstiltskin could get him out of trouble. For us, our "escape clause" is our relationship with God and with those God has placed in our lives.
In fact, if escape is what we desire most, perhaps opening up to God in prayer as well as to others around us in conversation can lead to our next new adventure. Communication is truly the best medicine to the mundane or the anxiety-ridden.
That's what brought Job out of his misery; that's what Shrek had to discover in his alternate universe; and that's what all of us can do if we ever find ourselves feeling stuck in an ogre's mud pool thinking "I regret my life..." When we open up like that - to God and to one another - then we can live the adventure forever after - just like we always wanted.
What a delightful post !!
I have not seen the latest Shrek but this is a great review and what you say here relates so wellto what some people go through. It also links nicely to this Sunday's gospel of Martha and Mary. Shrek's dilemma reminds me of Martha's jaded feelings at the mundane tasks of serving!!
Thankyou for this and blessings.

In Karachi, a Samsung TV facility has started manufacturing
ISLAMABAD: Samsung Electronics, a South Korean technology powerhouse, has opened its first TV line-up facility in Karachi, in conjunction with a local business, Commerce Adviser Razak Dawood revealed on Monday.
Mr Dawood took to Twitter to publish photographs of the facility, writing, "We congratulate Samsung Electronics on the operationalization of its first TV Line-up factory in Pakistan in Karachi in conjunction with R&R Industries." The plant will initially create 50,000 TV sets before ramping up to 100,000 units in two years."

Mr Dawood stated that the engagement was in keeping with the Ministry of Commerce's Make-in-Pakistan strategy. "I urge all of our companies to form partnerships with prominent foreign corporations to establish operations in Pakistan," the advisor added in a tweet.
R&R Industries Pvt Ltd had signed an agreement with Samsung to set up a plant in Karachi's Korangi Industrial Area. The construction and fabrication of the factory has already been completed.
The local partner company believes the collaboration will create more than 700 jobs in Pakistan due to the vast nature of this project.
It is expected that the business revenue of the project will be approximately touch Rs5 billion per annum and an annual target of producing 50,000 TV units.

In Sroczynski v. John Milek, decided December 17, 2008 the NJ Supreme Court found that there can be no legally effective policy cancellation where a carrier fails to prove that it strictly complied with all of the requirements for canceling a workers' compensation insurance policy. The NJ Legislature established clear and unambiguous requirements in the cancellation statute, which include the requirement that a carrier file with the Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau the certified statement required in N.J.S.A. 34:15-81(b). However, the Court also held that only parties that have raised this particular filing issue can be granted relief from improper cancellations – past cancellations that were never challenged on this ground will stand because the policyholders waived their right to challenge them.

An American duel in Brussels: Salesforce against Microsoft over Linkedin deal
October 4, 2016 by Carlo Motta 5 Comments

When earlier this year Microsoft snapped up the world's headlines by announcing it would have acquired LinkedIn with a colossal $26.2 billion deal, everyone was already preparing for the shockwaves this move would have generated. Last week, US cloud computing company Salesforce.com openly urged European Union regulators to block the acquisition over unfair competition concerns. The breaking news made clear that antitrust will be once more a huge weapon for competition, and that the match will be once again played on the EU field.
Microsoft's biggest move
US giant Microsoft Corp. announced three months ago a deal to buy the world's largest professional networking platform LinkedIn, with an all-cash deal worth a total of $26.2 billion, $196 a share. The deal represents the company's largest purchase and one of the biggest technology acquisitions ever in history. Microsoft indeed has been chasing the acquisition desperately, in a strong attempt to revitalize its activity after some tough years behind competitors. Chief Executive Satya Nadella openly declared he was hoping the deal will open new horizons for Microsoft's Office suite to escape a saturated market.
Thorny issues
The entire Redmond, Washington-based company had hoped indeed to get EU approval quickly and to be able to close the deal in the next few weeks, however the situation looks now a bit more complex. Last Thursday, the Californian Salesforce.com openly said the deal threatens innovation and competition, and formally urged the European Union, regular punisher of Microsoft, to take a close look at Microsoft's takeover of LinkedIn through an official statement.
"By gaining ownership of LinkedIn's unique dataset of over 450 million professionals in more than 200 countries, Microsoft will be able to deny competitors access to that data, and in doing so obtain an unfair competitive advantage", stressed Burke Norton, Salesforce's Chief Legal Officer. Mr. Norton said the deal also raises "significant antitrust and data privacy issues" that Salesforce thinks US and European Union authorities should "fully scrutinize". "Microsoft's proposed acquisition of LinkedIn threatens the future of innovation and competition", he continued.
Microsoft's reply
Microsoft reportedly responded by pointing out that the deal had already passed regulatory muster in some countries, as published last week by the Wall Street Journal, and that it is Salesforce, not Microsoft, that dominates the market for software that handles customer relationship management. "Salesforce may not be aware, but the deal has already been cleared to close in the United States, Canada, and Brazil," said Brad Smith, Microsoft's president and chief legal officer. "We're committed to continuing to work to bring price competition to a CRM (customer relationship management) market in which Salesforce is the dominant participant charging customers higher prices today", he added.
A longstanding story
The clash is part of a longstanding argument between Microsoft and Salesforce. Both companies indeed put a bid for LinkedIn earlier this year, but Microsoft won out. The rumours around an attempt by Salesforce to purchase the social network Twitter Inc. would show a plan B was already in place anyway. Putting this very least aspect to one side, it is still plain to see why Salesforce is worried about this move by Microsoft: LinkedIn will give Microsoft access to a potentially unlimited amount of clients' data, and so potentially enhance its CRM very quickly.
CRM income
The entire Saleforce's turnover basically comes from a CRM product, being the top provider of software for customer-relationship management, according to Gartner Inc. In 2015, it had 20 percent of the global market by revenue, while Microsoft was No. 4 with 4.3 percent, as reported by Bloomberg. Now Salesforce's biggest concern is that Microsoft will shut down access to LinkedIn data, cutting down its growth potential.
Just yesterday, Microsoft's President Brad Smith, while speaking to the press in Dublin, denied Salesforce accusation that they will cut off LinkedIn data for Microsoft's competitors. "It is not something that we have any intention of doing", he said according to the Irish Independent. "The LinkedIn data is public today and we want to make that data useful in lots of new ways". Despite Mr. Smith's words, Saleforce's concerns naturally still remain.
The EU data knot
Simple as it sounds though this is a case of pure competition; all about the most powerful currency of the future: data. Hence, Salesforce could not have chosen a better moment to let its complaint out. Only last Thursday, the European Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager delivered a speech on competition and data handling. "Companies need to make sure they don't use data in a way that stops others competing", she said at the beginning of her speech. "Data could be an important factor in how a merger affects competition. A company might even buy up a rival just to get hold of its data, even though it hasn't yet managed to turn that data into money", she underscored.
Despite never mentioning Microsoft, Salesforce.com and LinkedIn, she used very clear-cut words that sound indeed like a premonition. "We are therefore exploring whether we need to start looking at mergers with valuable data involved", she said. "We can show people that companies that use big data have to follow the rules. So I will keep a close eye on how companies use data," she continued. "I'm sure that the European Data Protection Supervisor and BEUC will do the same. And between us, I'm convinced that we can make big data not a threat, but the key to a better future".
A deeper look
Salesforce's request for an EU investigation does not necessarily mean that the Commissioner Margrethe Vestager will open an antitrust file against Microsoft. However, all the noise that Salesforce's statement has raised around the gigantic acquisition will possibly not help Microsoft in its attempt to conclude the merger by the end of the year. Normally even if the EU will not formally block Microsoft's move toward the acquisition of LinkedIn, it could decide to take a deeper look at the deal, dragging the whole question into a scrutiny process that would last several months.
In principle the Commission's preliminary review of merger and acquisition deals lasts 25 working days, which can be extended by about four months "if it has serious concerns". But surely this is something that Microsoft, a regular recipient of gigantic EU fines, has almost surely considered when the first bid to acquire LinkedIn was presented.

Neos Chronos says:
Microsoft + LinkedIn is the short-term issue for Salesforce. The bigger issue is Facebook + WhatsApp. WhatsApp sharing phone numbers with Facebook creates the de-facto largest user directory on planet Earth. Admitedly it is a "consumer" and not a "business" directory yet. This is about to become one though with yesterday's launch of Facebook Workplace. We then look at a converged persona directory (Workplace), versus a business persona directory (LinkedIn). Workplace (formerly Facebook at Work) is 20 months in the making, it is – in our point of view – no coincidence Microsoft bought LinkedIn before that beta was completed. Unlike Salesforce, Microsoft has to be concerned with Workplace becoming a de-facto collaboration platform. Unknowingly, Salesforce and Microsoft have many reasons to talk to each other and join forces.

Sky News' senior Ireland correspondent David Blevins said the sound "would have been hauntingly familiar to people in the city", which is just two miles from the border with Ireland. "Perpetrated by people with no regard for life", she said.

Omnibus, in political speech, simply means legislation with many laws and/or amendments all being voted on at once. Yes or No. All or Nothing.
In order for the US Government to spend money, Congress is required to write a bill appropriating the money - see Article I, Section 9 of the United States Constitution. The President must then sign the bill into law.
Each year there is an appropriations process to fund the federal government for the coming fiscal year, and then often a large omnibus bill is passed to fund the various government agencies that were not included in the regular appropriations process, for whatever reason (often political reasons). An Omnibus bill is also an oft used vehicle for Congressmen to add special earmarks for their own districts.
3/11/2009 Presented to President Obama - The President signs the bill saying "I am signing an imperfect omnibus bill because it's necessary for the ongoing functions of government"
3/5/2009 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said tonight that he was one vote short of the votes needed for cloture. Therefore, the cloture motion on the bill was withdrawn by unanimous consent in Senate. Note: Cloture is used to stop an opposing filibuster. It takes 60 votes to shut off debate and move to final passage.
2/25/2009 The Bill is Passed/agreed to in the House: On passage Passed by the Yeas and Nays: 245 - 178 (Roll no. 86).
2/23/2009 The 2009 Omnibus bill is introduced in House by Dave Obey (D-WI), Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.
What is the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009?
2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act totals about $410 billion and covers funding for fiscal year 2009 for the nine federal agencies that were not funded under the regular appropriations process last year.
Last year, Congress approved fiscal year 2009 appropriations for Defense, Veterans Administration, Military Construction, and Homeland Security. Appropriations for debt interest and for entitlements like Social Security and Medicare as well as interest on the debt are essentially on auto-pilot and are not subject to annual debate.
However, Congress did not approve final appropriations for the other departments. These departments are currently being funded through a continuing resolution based on fiscal year 2008 appropriations. The Omnibus bill will authorize the final 2009 appropriations for these departments: Agriculture, Commerce/State/Justice, Energy and Water, Financial Services, Interior, Labor/Health and Human Services, Transportation/HUD, State/Foreign Operations and Legislative Branch.
The debate is basically over the large size of the bill and the extreme number of earmarks.
The people on the pro-2009-omnibus-bill side of the debate argue that the problems we face are large and the large spending bill addresses the size of the problem.
Dave Obey (D-WI), Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee said "Now, the critics say a number of things. They say the bill is too big. And then they announce they are going to produce a recommit motion which adds $9 billion to the costs. That's what I call falling off both sides of the horse at the same time. I would suggest that this bill is big all right. But I'll make you a deal. You show me a smaller problem that we have to confront and I will be happy to produce a smaller bill."
The anti-2009-omnibus-bill side of the debate argues that the 8.3% spending increase over 2008 levels radically increases the size of the federal government especially considering the 2009 Stimulus Package.
Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said "However, the situation is even worse when the Omnibus bill is considered along with the recently passed "stimulus" bill. The "stimulus" bill added $269.7 billion to 2009 appropriations for these departments. When the impacts of the Omnibus and the "stimulus" bill are combined, fiscal year 2009 appropriations for these departments will increase a massive 79.6%."


A year after the search for a second headquarters began, the tech giant's slow-motion process gives detractors more ammunition and time to fire away.
(Bloomberg) — In September 2017, Amazon became America's most eligible corporate bachelor when it announced plans for a second headquarters. More than 200 cities across North America, including Chicago, fell over themselves trying to woo the e-commerce giant and the 50,000 well-paying tech jobs on offer. The more shameless attempts to win Amazon's attention included Arizona trucking a cactus to Seattle and a Georgia town offering to rename itself, yes, Amazon.
Exactly one year later, negotiations with 20 finalist cities from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles have retreated behind closed doors. Instead of public displays of affection, Amazon is fending off barbs sharper than the prickers on that 21-foot saguaro cactus. As the world's second-most valuable public company weighs the tax breaks and other goodies proffered by eager suitors, it stands accused of being a corporate welfare leech that should be giving the government and its workers more rather than further milking taxpayers to expand. As the world's wealthiest individual, Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos also makes a tempting target.
Why should local taxpayers give Amazon one more dime?
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has accused Amazon of forcing its warehouse workers onto food stamps because it doesn't pay them enough; he proposed levying a tax on large employers to help fund government assistance (the bill is called Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies Act—or Stop BEZOS). Meanwhile, increasing numbers of states are reviewing whether companies are honoring their pledges to create jobs and generate economic activity. As the HQ2 bake off drags on in private, Amazon gives its critics more ammunition and time to fire away.
Amazon declined to comment for this story. In a blog post responding to Sanders, the company said it created 130,000 new jobs last year and that employees receiving food stamps include those who work part-time or only worked at Amazon for brief periods. The company defended its treatment of workers, saying its full-time U.S. warehouse employees earn more than $15 an hour on average, including stock and incentive bonuses. The company also says it has invested more than $100 billion in the U.S. since 2011 and created more than 200,000 full-time jobs with benefits.
The Sanders bill is unlikely to go anywhere so long as the Republicans control Congress. But more and more states are taking a closer look at trading tax breaks for jobs. Politicians eager to attract employers to their cities and towns during the Great Recession later discovered that perhaps they had given away too much and received too little in return. Among the notable boondoggles: "The Buffalo Billions" corruption scandal in New York where money meant for economic development instead allegedly went to allies of Gov. Andrew Cuomo; in 2010 the Rhode Island Economic Development Corp. issued $75 million in bonds as part of a package to lure video game company 38 Studios away from Massachusetts in a deal that went bust and resulted in federal fraud charges.
Such blowups prompted several states to tighten controls, including Pennsylvania, Texas, Colorado, Illinois and Georgia, collectively home to seven Amazon finalist cities. Texas, for instance, withdrew or clawed back more than $30 million in incentives to 16 companies that failed to create the jobs pledged, according to a 2017 legislative report. California, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts—also among the finalists—are among 22 states that lack robust oversight of government investments in business, but that group is shrinking, according to a 2017 study by The Pew Charitable Trusts.
Amazon is likely to welcome greater scrutiny of the economic splash made by its second headquarters, eager to steer the narrative from corporate welfare to job creation. The company has pledged to invest $5 billion over 18 years and said compensation including benefits would average about $100,000 for the 50,000 jobs expected. The company has said it will make a decision this year and has otherwise been mum. Atlanta, the Washington, D.C. region, Philadelphia and Austin are among the places considered front-runners by Moody's Analytics and others that analyzed the finalists based on Amazon's criteria, which included a large labor force, proximity to an airport and a good education pipeline.
Most offers from the finalist cities remain private, but the scope of the project makes it an inevitable "mega-deal" in the billions of dollars. New Jersey has offered a package worth $7 billion to lure Amazon to Newark. Maryland is dangling $6.5 billion in tax incentives to get Amazon to set up shop in Montgomery County. Such offers prompt concerns that cities and states could overspend. Amazon has the strongest support in Atlanta, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, according to a poll conducted in April by Elon University, and the strongest opposition in Denver and Austin.
In the Seattle region, Amazon employs 45,000 people and the company says it has created an additional 53,000 jobs, pushing the city's unemployment rate below four percent and fueling one of the hottest real estate markets in the country. Yet even in Seattle, the company is under attack and was the primary target of a payroll tax meant to raise money for affordable housing and programs for the city's growing homeless population. The city council approved and quickly revoked the tax after Amazon threatened to halt hiring in Seattle and shift it elsewhere, highlighting yet another benefit of having a second headquarters.
The city that wins Amazon's investment—even if it offers billions—will probably get a bigger tax base, climbing wages and property values and better job opportunities , says John Boyd, principal of The Boyd Company, a corporate site selection firm in Princeton, New Jersey.

GDP contraction likely to have narrowed to 9.5 pc in September quarter: Icra
Mumbai, Nov 19 (PTI) The contraction in the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) may have narrowed to 9.5 per cent in the second quarter of the current fiscal from 23.9 per cent in the April-June quarter, says a report.
The Central Statistics Office (CSO) will release the GDP data for the second quarter of FY21 on November 27.
In a report on Thursday, rating agency Icra said the Year-on-Year (YoY) contraction in Indian GDP (at constant 2011-12 prices) is estimated to have narrowed appreciably to 9.5 per cent in Q2 FY2021 from 23.9 per cent in Q1 FY2021, as the economy recovered from the lows of the pandemic-induced lockdown.
It said the contraction in the Gross Value Added (GVA) at basic prices is expected to have moderated considerably to 8.5 per cent in the July-September quarter from 22.8 per cent in the previous three months.
The ease in GVA would be led by industry to (-) 9.3 per cent from (-) 38.1 per cent, driven primarily by manufacturing and construction and services to (-) 10.2 per cent from (-) 20.6 per cent), it said.
Icra's principal economist Aditi Nayar said a substantial recovery in manufacturing and construction is likely to underpin the expected improvement in the performance of the industrial GVA in the second quarter of the current fiscal.
Various sectors of manufacturing recorded an improvement in demand and volumes in the September quarter although the performance was admittedly uneven.
In addition to the continued cost-cutting measures, the availability of raw material inventory that had been procured previously at subdued costs, supported the earnings of the manufacturing entities in the just-concluded quarter relative to Q1 FY2021. Nayar said the contraction in manufacturing GVA is expected to narrow considerably to around 10 per cent in Q2 FY2021 from 39.3 per cent in Q1 FY2021. 'Nevertheless, the extent of the recovery in the performance of the informal sectors in Q2 FY2021 remains unclear, and we caution that trends in the same may not get fully reflected in the GDP data, given the lack of adequate proxies to evaluate the less formal sectors,' she said.
Icra expects the contraction in construction GVA to narrow to around 12 per cent in the second quarter from the sharp 50.3 per cent in the first quarter of the current fiscal.
It said the contraction in the GVA of trade, hotels, transport, communication and services related to broadcasting is estimated to have narrowed appreciably to nearly 25 per cent in the second quarter of FY21 from 47 per cent in the April-June quarter. The rating agency also said the healthy pace of expansion of the government's spending in Q1 FY2021 had prevented an even sharper fall in the GDP in the lockdown quarter.
With the expenditure management measures that have been put in place, the momentum reversed in Q2 FY2021, despite the fiscal stimulus that has been announced so far, it said.
'We fear that the shrinkage in government spending may have capped the pace of the economic recovery in Q2 FY2021,' Nayar said.
She expects the GVA growth of agriculture, forestry and fishing to be at 3 per cent in Q2 FY2021, driven by the healthy kharif harvest. PTI HV RAM

Do you have a new car or are you leasing a car? If so, you will certainly want to watch this video on comprehensive auto coverage. You know how much it can cost to finance a car. Do you really want to risk that money on the chance that can something can go wrong? Now we're not talking about collisions. We're talking about the other things that can happen in life like hail, theft, fire, falling trees, animal damage, or so much else. Comprehensive auto coverage can help protect you from the things that you may have little control over.
To begin, you will want to figure out whether or not you need comprehensive auto coverage. Generally speaking, it's not worth it if you have an older car that you're not making payments, but for a new car or financed car, it is generally recommended or expected. You should also take a look at what kind of payments you want to make. Lower payments may sound good, but a higher deductible could cost you much more if you suffer extensive damages. Generally, you want to take pay as much as you can afford.
Things happen in life that you can't control. You do have control over the coverage you have though. Check out our comprehensive auto coverage video and website to get a better understanding if this insurance will help you stay protected.
