FBI breakup? Consider source

Re "Break up the FBI," Opinion, March 21 How wonderful advice on how to run the FBI from John Yoo,van cleef and arpels clover necklace replica, the Bush administration's former torture cheerleader. Yoo ascribes the failings of the FBI's process for issuing national security letters to agency management. However,arpels van cleef necklace replica, administration officials to whom the FBI director ultimately reports have made no secret of their belief that Americans can be placed under surveillance without requiring a warrant.

Top Ten Watch Brands

Rolex Watch Co., ranked first, is the most recognizable watch brand known for its durable value and marketability. Rolex is the maker of the first waterproof watch and for the past decade it has been ranked as the king of Switzerland's chronometer watches.

Omega, ranked second, has the second highest number of chronometer certificates. Neil Armstrong took an Omega Speedmaster professional Chronograph on his first trip to the moon in 1969, and Omega was the official timekeeper for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Breitling, ranked third, specializes in producing mechanical chronographs for professionals in the marine and aviation industry. Its best selling watch is the Breitling Chronomat.

Known as a diver's watch and ranked fifth, Panerai watches were originally worn by Italian commando frogmen in deep waters during World War II. The brand went mainstream when Sylvester Stalone popularized the brand by wearing them in his movies. In the 1996 movie "Daylight", Stallone wore a Luminor Panerai.

One of the most preeminent watch brands in the United States,van cleef and arpels necklace clover replica, the Ball watch company, ranks eighth. To prevent watches from losing time during train rides, Ball designed durable timepieces that resist magnetism. Ball was the first watch company to be sanctioned by the American Railroad.

The Titoni watch company produces its own watch movements and is ranked ninth. The components in a Titoni watch,replica vans necklace, such as the jewel shock absorbers, the main springs and escapements are designed to meet rigorous standards.

Much like Titoni, Chopard watches, which are ranked sixth,replica van cleef and arpels mini alhambra necklace, are designated as 'manufacture' because the brand makes its watches in house rather than purchasing movements from outside suppliers. Chopard's most prized watch is called the Mille Miglia.

Tag Heuer,van cleef alhambra necklace replica, endorsed by golf superstar Tiger Woods and Michael Douglas in the 1994 movie "Disclosure", ranks fourth. During the 1950s Heuer produced two popular chronograph watches for American retailer, Abercrombie Fitch. The first was the Seafarer and the second was the Autograph.

Tissot, ranks 10th, and is known for many firsts. Tissot created the first plastic, stone and wood watch. Tissot also pioneered the first antimagnetic watch and the first watch to keep time in two time zones. Tissot watches have been strapped to the wrist of movie star Angelina Jolie in movies such as "Tomb Raider" and the "Cradle of Life".

Mido, ranked seventh, was known in the 1920s to produce a variety of watches with an art deco style and a sense of flair desired by fashionistas in that era. Mido was ranked the best selling watch during the 1930s and 1950s.

Taubman Is A Time Tested REIT Brand

Taubman would be a complimentary addition to my portfolio; however, I need to shy away from the instant gratification game and wait on a more attractive entry point.

Over a year ago, I wrote an article on Taubman Centers (NYSE:TCO) and I summarized by saying that "Taubman is a "Rolex of a REIT" and I can't wait on to own the shares, when the price is right." What I meant by that was that I consider Taubman a "blue chip" REIT that,van cleef & arpels knock off necklace, like a Rolex, offers the highest quality products that last for generations.

Clearly the analogy of Taubman and a Rolex watch is fitting as they are both "buy and hold" assets they offer considerable security based on time tested brand recognition attributes. It's the durability component that makes a brand truly attractive and what makes the underlying value increase substantially.

After my article in April 2013, Taubman shares hit an all time high of $85.40 (on May 28, 2013) and then shares of the "blue chip" REIT fell around 24%, to around $63.90 on January 28, 2014. That would have been a good entry price considering you could have picked up a Rolex at the price of a Timex.

Buying a "blue chip" on sale can be awfully rewarding and I wish I was able to scoop up a number of gems late last year. I opted to stay clear of the sell off with Taubman as I was more focused on adding a base of health care and net lease REITs. Namely, I added shares of Ventas, Inc. (NYSE:VTR), Heath Care REIT (NYSE:HCN), Realty Income (NYSE:O), and Digital Realty (NYSE:DLR). All of these were purchased at attractive levels and I have been quite happy with the "margin of safety" with these investments (my average share price gain for these four REITs is around 19.8% since January 2014).

Taubman Is a Time Tested Brand

Last week I attended the ReCon 2014 event in Las Vegas and I caught up with Taubman's Chairman and CEO, Bobby Taubman. He joined the organization in 1976 and was elected vice president in 1984, COO in 1988, president and CEO in 1990 and Chairman in 2001. degree in economics from Boston University.

Taubman Company has been in business for over 60 years and the company was founded by A. Alford Taubman in 1950. The company converted to a REIT in 1992 and the Bloomfield Hills based REIT has maintained a consistent cash payout history for over 21 years.

Most notable for the durable Regional Mall company is the fact that Taubman was a pioneer REIT that became the first publicly traded UPREIT (in 1992), laying the groundwork for real estate companies in all sectors to access the public equity markets. and Asia large enough to provide economies of scale and solidify relationships with some of the world's best retailers; yet small enough to effectively maximize the potential of every asset by receiving attention of the senior management team. Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG) and General Growth Properties (NYSE:GGP) are the two dominating mall sector REITs as evidenced by the snapshot below:

Over the years, Taubman has maintained a strategic capital recycling model in which the company has selectively bought and sold assets in order to maximize the potential of the individual assets. Taubman started as a public company 22 years ago with 19 properties. Along the way the company built 14 and acquired 10 properties,van cleef and arpels fake butterfly necklace, but sold 19. So on a net basis,van cleef copy necklace, Taubman went from 19 to 24 assets. However, the company more than quintupled the size of the REIT. footprint:

In Asia Taubman is focused on South Korea and China. For many years, the Asian economies have been growing at a much faster pace than in the US. In many Asian markets there is a shortage of well designed and well managed retail space. Currently Taubman has four projects underway: Zhengzhou, China; Xi'an, China; Hanam, South Korea; and Seoul, South Korea.

In Zhengzhou Taubman plans to open a $355 million project in late 2015. Taubman expects to generate a return of around 6% to 6.5% on its 32% share of the project. The one million square foot project is six levels and is expected to have over 200 stores that will feature a mix of middle to high end brands together with a movie cinema and restaurants. Zhengzhou's population is nearly 9 million and is expected to reach 10 million by 2020. The total trade area population is expected to reach 2.8 million by 2015. As evidenced below, walls are going up and this project should be an exceptional addition to the Taubman portfolio:

Here's a rendering of the project (upon completion):

In Xi'an Taubman plans to open a $385 million project in late 2015. Taubman expects to generate a return of around 6% to 6.5% on its 30% share of the project. The retail component (of this mixed use project) includes one million square feet of retail and restaurant space, anchored by Wangfujing department store. Xi'an is one of the most populous metropolitan areas in regional China with more than 8 million inhabitants. As evidenced below, this project is well underway bringing increased synergy to the Taubman portfolio:

Upon completion, the 5.9 million square foot large scale mixed use development will be a massive project that includes hotels, residential, office, and retail. Here's a rendering of the finished project:

In Hanam, Taubman plans to open a $1.1 billion project in late 2016. Taubman expects to generate a return of 7% to 7.5% on its 30% share of the project. The anchors consist of Shinsegae, South Korea's largest retailer. This project will be the largest true western style mall in Korea. Although Taubman's traditional US development produces higher returns in the early years, the Asian model produces outsized returns when the projects are stabilized.

Here is a snapshot of Taubman's Top 10 Tenants:In addition to its high quality tenant base, Taubman also enjoys blue chip operating fundamentals. For example, Taubman has the highest portfolio sales per square foot in the mall sector. The company's trailing 12 month sales are now $712 per square foot (down 0.7%).

Taubman reports that leasing activity has been strong and occupancy remains near all time highs. Although the sales per square foot fell modestly, the company points out that investors should focus more on average rent per square foot growth because it's much less volatile and more consistent. So in the latest quarter Taubman reported average rent per square foot of $50.21, up 3.6%.

In May 2014, Bank of America Merrill Lynch provided a broad mall industry assessment indicating that Taubman is the highest quality mall operator in the peer group.

Another key differentiator for Taubman is the fact that the company is a mall developer and over the last 12 years,van cleef knock off butterfly necklace, the REIT has invested in over $2 billion of projects. As a result, Taubman has created in excess of $2.8 billion in value. Taubman is one of the few regional mall developers that possess a full set of development capabilities internally (3 new projects in the US and 3 new projects in Asia).

Media Musings Blog Archive Sniffing out interactive advertising

When I look at the clock and it's about 12am I think "Yes!" Why,van cleef and arpel replica necklace? Because this means there is at least an hour of prime awake time for trawling YouTube.

Usually I'd stick with pandas rolling down hills and dancing chameleons, but last night ended with a strangely entertaining campaign for

Mexican internet company Terra asked advertising agency DDB to create a campaign where dog owners are rewarded with free Wi Fi if they pick up their pets' poop in public parks. The waste is weighed and converted to Wi Fi time.

Though some people might turn up their noses to something called "poo Wi Fi", interactive campaigns are the way forward. They get the attention. And sometimes show up for night owls on YouTube adventures.

They are what will get those eyeballs, hands and paws on ads, not the "12 new protein flavours" nonsense you accidentally click on Facebook. After watching this twice,van cleef necklace replica alhambra, I wished I lived in Mexico City with the world's largest dog just so I could see how much Wi Fi it would generate.

Admit it! You can just see yourself tweeting how much your dog weighed in today. On the other hand, you'd shun your pug for its meagre contribution. And don't even try to use the "I don't use my phone when walking my dog excuse",van cleef flower copy necklace, all lies.

And poo Wi Fi isn't the only campaign getting the audience involved.

Another interactive campaign are two ads from dog brand Pedigree. They will be played in cinemas where the 3D glasses you're wearing will determine the ad you watch. One shows what will happen if you do donate and vice versa.

This is such a powerful campaign and will have the viewer crying before the film even starts. I'm not a fan of 3D, but this might just change that. And it might just compel me to donate,van cleef flower fake necklace, if not to them, then to someone rattling containers on Swanston Street.

Mumbrella reported a new campaign by Lynx, branded as "" to celebrate the release of their first female fragrance.

The windows of a Sydney house have been fitted with special LCD screens, where the content can only be seen with polaroid glasses. They feature couples making out and a room filled with water while a dog swims past.

I'm not sure how successful this will be as a one off, but I would like to see things like this happening all over Australia. It's refreshing to see these innovations!

Thumbs up and bums down to interactivity, you've got my attention.

Hey Alex, no I don't think they are failing to direct money appropriately. For instance with the poo Wi Fi campaign, waste is being put to use in a productive way. If this is what it takes to get people to clean up after their dogs, then it's a good thing. Also remembering this is in Mexico City where Wi Fi probably isn't as accessible as it would be in say Melbourne.

And Hannah, indeed, if something is made fun and interactive, people are likely to give it a chance even if it is just once, that's surely better than nothing. And to me, interactive campaigns seem more legitimate than ads online or wasting trees on flyers in your letterbox.

This plan goes haywire

"Can you review Plan?" a colleague called to ask yesterday. "But you will have to watch the first day, first show as there are no special screenings for the press," she added.

Having seen the film, I know why there wasn't any. There is nothing special about the film. No filmmaker in his rightenses would want to show such a film to critics before its release.

Producer Sanjay Gupta and debutante director Hriday Shetty's Plan is pretentiously high on style but short on substance. The film leaves one totally numb with its overemphasis on loud background score and flashy camerawork.

Four starry eyed, good for nothings befriend each other on a train to Mumbai. Don't ask how such similar characters end up on the same train, compartment and adjacent seats and whether they all belonged originally to Allahabad. Lucky (Sanjay Suri) is addicted to playing cards,vca knock off necklace, and wants to try his luck in Mumbai rather than stay in his small town and run his father's grocery shop. Jai (Bikram Saluja) has run away from home to avoid an arranged marriage, and to meet his girlfriend (Riya Sen in a one song, two dialogue role). Omi (Rohit Roy) has been forcibly sent to the city by his father to retrieve Rs 1 lakh from a cheater.

In Mumbai, their only 'real contact' Jaggi (Sanjay Mishra), a pimp at Grant Road,vca fake necklace, helps them get accommodation at an under construction building. Here, they start pursuing their dreams, without result. They are running out of money too.

Omi suggests they put in all their remaining money and let Lucky play a big gamble at the U Turn casino. But when Lucky manages to convert their Rs 15,000 into Rs 1 lakh, they turn greedy and ask him to try his luck further. Cheated by the owner, Lucky loses and they run into a debt of Rs 7 lakh, which they have to pay up within a week.

Omi comes up with his next plan: kidnap a rich businessman and use the ransom amount to pay up the debt. But the plan goes haywire again as the victim turns out to be dreaded don Musabhai (Sanjay Dutt).

However,van cleef necklace replica alhambra, Musabhai realises his rival Sultan (Mahesh Manjrekar) had planned to kill him that same night. The kidnapping had actually saved his life. Forgiving the foursome, he helps Vicky settle scores at the U Turn casino and gets Bobby his first role: filmmaker Atma (Razzak Khan) casts him opposite aspiring actress and girlfriend (Sameera Reddy).

Musabhai then teams up with the four to rescue his bar dancer girlfriend Rani (Priyanka Chopra) from Sultan's men and take revenge from Sultan, before asking the four to return to their hometown.

The filmests youratience and intelligence.

Sultan buys off three of Musabhai's men to kill him. And for the rest of the film, Musabhai has to depend on the four young friends for all his work. No gangsters, contacts or even bodyguards left for the city's biggest underworld don!

While Musabhai has no qualms asking the four young guys to kidnap his former aide, or ordering them to beat up the goons at the U Turn casino, he suddenly wants them to become their old selves before the final showdown with Sultan. Reason: he does not want any more Musabhais!

Musabhai allows the four guys to accompany him to Sultan's hideout. And then lets Sultan beat him up to keep the boys out of trouble,van cleef knock off necklaces.

Must say, I can't understand this don's plans!

Wonder why San Francisco based music composer Cheb I Sabbah filed a plagiarism case against the filmmakers. Anand Raj Anand's music is so bad,ou would not have heard it anyway. The case must have only helped sell a few more albums.

The background score is deafening to say the least. And most action sequences were unwanted and avoidable. Director Hriday Shetty, son of late action coordinator Shetty, does nothing to leave an impression. He was right. While the role of Munnabhai was thoroughly fresh and enjoyable, Musabhai does not offer Dutt Jr anything we have not seen him do before as a bhai, except maybe sport Armani suits, Gucci shoes, Rolex watches and spiky hairdos.

Dino Morea seems to be improving with each outing: he has come a long way from his Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi and Raaz days. Not that it takes much to beat those. Sanjay Suri just about manages to break away from his good boy image. Bikram Saluja and Rohit Roy hold their own.

The 'heroines' have done complete justice to their roles. Whether its expressions or clothes, they display as little as they can.

Finally, only Mahesh Manjrekar stands out with a decent performance. He gives life to an under developed role, adding menace with his mean eyes and irritating laugh. Hope he gets meatier parts in more meaningful, watchable films.

Lobbyists spend less on high

Dow: / NASDAQ: / S 500:HomeNewsLobbyists spend less on high end eats, lawmakers spend moreHow To: Fix Your Fatigue And Get More EnergyRICHMOND, Va. (AP) Lobbyists in Virginia are spending less taking public officials out to eat at high end restaurants, while lawmakers are more frequently covering the cost of eating out with their virtually unrestricted campaign accounts, according to recent campaign finance and lobbyist spending filings.The shift is a result of a high profile gifts scandal that prompted lawmakers to tighten state ethics rules. Revelations that former Gov. Bob McDonnell and his family accepted more than $175,000 worth of gifts and loans from a vitamin salesman, including a Rolex watch and designer clothes, led lawmakers to begin put limits on the largess they could legally receive in 2014. Supreme Court.Data from the recent lobbyist filings backs up what public officials and others have been saying for a while: Virginia political culture has dramatically changed post McDonnell and the old days when lawmakers could take unlimited gifts from the interests they regulate are long gone.Energy giant Dominion Resources, for instance,van cleef arpel knock off necklace, no longer treats lawmakers and others to trips to the Master golf tournament, or tickets to Washington Redskins games as it used to. Spokesman David Botkins said the company implemented a no gifts or trips policy last year.was more trouble than it was worth, Botkins said in an email. overall ethics law changes were a good thing, and for us eliminating trips/gifts simplifies matters. collected by the Virginia Public Access Project, nonpartisan money in politics tracker, shows that lobbyists are wining and dining lawmakers at less pricey restaurants compared to 2013. For example, lobbyists reported hosting 17 events for public officials at Morton steakhouse in 2013, but none during this year legislative session. Other high end restaurants saw similar drop offs.Instead lobbyists are holding events with lawmakers at less pricey joints. A possible reason: When lobbyists take public officials out to eat or taking them to sporting events, they have to report those officials by name if the average cost per person exceeded $50. If the average is less than $50, than lobbyists don have to report the names of the lawmakers present.Lawmakers could also be picking up the slack themselves with their campaign accounts,van cleef knock off necklace wholesale, which can be used for practically anything in Virginia. Campaign account spending on meals was up 58 percent during this year legislative session compared to 2013, according to VPAP data.Virginia law doesn prohibit lawmakers from using their campaign accounts for personal use and The Associated Press reported earlier this year that Virginia virtually unregulated campaign finance system is a national outlier.Behavior that would get lawmakers locked up in other states or at the federal level is perfectly fine in the Old Dominion as Virginia is the only state where lawmakers can raise unlimited campaign donations from anyone, including corporations and unions, and spend the money on themselves.INVEST IN THE FIGHT AGAINST MAINSTREAM MEDIA BIASPresidents change and lawmakers come and go,van cleef and arpels fake necklace, but The Washington Times is always here,van cleef replica alhambra necklace, and FREE online.

Media Musings Blog Archive Media Ownership of Fox News

Media ownership is the biggest problem of the ethical journalist, bastards can be kept on their honest side, and journalists have to watch what they say about their advertisers, because they risk loosing funding.

It has been proven that the media should not be owned by an individual, or influenced by advertisement, because news end up being bias, and unethical.

An example of my argument is the case of Rupert Murdoch, the guy owns hundreds of media channels, and we ended up with things like Fox News in America, or the News of The world scandal.

that work for Fox News can question Mr Murdoch on anything he finds unpleasant, because they risk getting fired. When a Journalist can ask the questions he/she has to make in order to do his job as a true journalist, is when it becomes clear the sham a news program really is.

When the News of The world scandal broke, Fox News didn discuss the matter. The event was only announced as happening, and a few days later they went on with their usual coverage of why the Republicans are so great, and why the democrats are so terrible, and un American; almost like it never even happened.

In conclusion, the media should not be owned by people, it should be owned by all journalists, or at least a big verity of people. If not we will end up with more News programs like Fox. We need to let journalists be journalists!

This is an interesting topic for a blog post, but I think some more detailed research to find examples of your point would have helped your argument.

The first sentence doesn really make sense it needs to be reworked so it is less confusing. Then links to videos don that individuals can own media organisations and that journalists can question Murdoch. Your example of Fox News not reporting on the News of the World scandal was a better example and you needed to find other stronger examples like these. Also remember conversational language. Don use phrases such as conclusion as this is very academic. You also need to proof your work there a few typos. Remember your style guide publication and program names should be in italics,van cleef and arpels replica clover necklace.

I found this to be an interesting read and those clips were entertaining.

However,van cleef and arpels replica necklace, I disagree that the media shouldn be owned by an individual. Most outlets start out that way and there are plenty of examples of unbiased media that is owned or controlled by individuals or small groups of people. Also, News Corp does have shareholders and so the company isn entirely controlled by one man and his family.

The NOTW phone hacking scandal annoys me in the amount of coverage it garners. Yes, it an on going issue with some very big names involved, but the wrong of what actually happened at the paper is fairly limited in size and scope, compared to stories going on elsewhere. And yet, day in day out, papers such as the Guardian report very heavily on it (there is an irony to this, which I do appreciate).

And when it comes to News Corp and it being controlled by Murdoch, it important to remember that the company employs thousands upon thousands of journalists around the world. They are responsible to editors, advertisers and proprietors, but more so to themselves and their own ethics.

In short, News Corp isn all bad in the same way that Fairfax, Crikey and the Guardian aren all good.

Future of Bob McDonnell's gifts still cloudy

The two gold Oscar de la Renta dresses. The Louis Vuitton shoes,replica van cleef small earrings, handbag and raincoat. The golf clubs, bags, shirts and shoes.

The Rolex.

These luxury gifts among the thousands of dollars in merchandise that onetime dietary supplement CEO Jonnie Williams purchased for former Gov. Bob McDonnell and first lady Maureen McDonnell and their children were the eye popping centerpieces of the evidence prosecutors used at trial to build a successful corruption case against the former first couple.

Bob McDonnell's sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 6,van cleef magic alhambra earrings replica; Maureen McDonnell's sentencing was rescheduled last week and will now be held Feb. 20. Lawyers for the couple have said they will appeal their convictions.

The sentencings and any future court proceeding could lead to the designer goods taking one more stroll down the legal runway in a courtroom.

A third party can also file a claim seeking the assets, which also must be adjudicated. Marshals take possession of the assets and can liquidate them at their discretion.

In a narcotics prosecution,van earrings replica, for example, any confiscated drugs are destroyed, while assets seized from the dealers cars, houses, jewelry are typically auctioned off.

Charles James, a former federal prosecutor and chief deputy Virginia attorney general, said the circumstances of a case sometimes put the government in the position of owning, albeit briefly, some oddball assets.

He recalled a prosecution of a drug ring in Richmond roughly 10 years ago in which the government ended up briefly assuming ownership of two motels that had been used as drug distribution centers.

"When a defendant's assets aren't liquid, the Marshals Service has to dispose of them, and at times that means everything from running a hotel to owning a ranch to auctioning artwork and luxury cars," James said. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia declined to comment on the gifts and their forfeiture, or potential use or sale going forward. The office even refused to say where the items in question are being stored.

Page 42 of the McDonnells' Jan. 21 federal indictment provides a lengthy list of the items prosecutors contend are subject to forfeiture.

They include three pairs of designer shoes, five dresses, five golf shirts, three golf bags, two sets of golf clubs, assorted jackets,replica van cleef arpels earrings alhambra, coats and sweaters, one silver Rolex watch engraved "71st Governor of Virginia," and 30 boxes of Anatabloc the dietary supplement Williams was trying to influence the McDonnells to promote.

But a number of the items listed in the indictment were, in fact, returned to Williams well before the couple were charged.

In March 2013, Maureen McDonnell returned a box of Williams' gifts to his home shortly after her interview with state police. The box included the dress the former first lady had worn to her daughter's 2011 wedding at the Executive Mansion and another dress she wore to commemorate her 35th wedding anniversary.

And in August 2013, Bob McDonnell and representatives of his legal team said that the former governor had returned to Williams the "tangible" gifts that were still in the governor's possession, including the $6,500 engraved Rolex watch. "As a result Jonnie Williams could be rightfully viewed as the owner of the dress, the watch and other gifts, and the government could be compelled to return the evidence to Williams as the rightful owner, leaving him to decide how best to dispose of them."

So what does a former dietary supplement salesman do with an Oscar De la Renta dress? Or a pair of black Rebecca Minkoff shoes? Or a Rolex inscribed "71st Governor of Virginia?"

Williams could not be reached for comment and his lawyer, former Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore, declined to comment.

But during the trial last August, Williams said he had no practical use for the dresses that Maureen McDonnell had returned to him part of an attempt by the first lady, prosecutors successfully argued to obstruct justice by making it look like the garments had been loans, not gifts.
