The Greenlight Capital funds returned 9.4% in Q3 2012, bringing the YTD return to 13.2%. Central banks around the world have engaged in unprecedented monetary easing through bond purchases. The Fed will purchase $40B per month of mortgage backed securities indefinitely at near 0% interest rates. There is concern that further monetary stimulus could create new asset bubbles. Gold and several stock positions contributed positively to returns in Q3, while an undisclosed macro position was negative.
This document discusses using social media marketing for local businesses. It provides an overview of key social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter and their usage statistics. It emphasizes how local businesses can engage customers on these platforms through sharing content, photos and videos to build authentic relationships and drive traffic.

This paper proposes a budget-centric and technology-focused framework to assess the government transparency and public financial maturity. Governments leverage technology to manage public finances and enable transparency. Most assessments of Public Financial Management (PFM) tend to be technology - neutral by providing little or no guidance about the use of Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS), also known as Government Resource Planning (GRP). These assessments focus primarily on procedures and practices because no GRP can improve PFM quality when procedures or practices are ineffective.

"America's Clean Energy Maverick: How and Why Texas Grabbed the Renewable Ene...Clean Energy Canada
Though renowned for its oil and gas resources, in recent years Texas has also emerged as a national renewable-energy leader. As a result of state and business leadership, in 2013 the politically conservative, enterprise-focussed state generated more energy from the wind than any other state, and the equivalent of half of Alberta's power supply. With a competitive electricity market similar to Alberta's, Texas has found ways to diversify its electricity mix and encourage clean energy investment.
How did a conservative, market-oriented, oil-and-gas focused jurisdiction—one with a deregulated electricity market—emerge as a national renewable energy leader? On July 15, 2014, Michael Osborne, co-founder of the Texas Renewable Energy Industry Association and one of Texas’ most prominent renewable energy pioneers, shared his take in Calgary Alberta.

The WE Magazine 2012 Listing of Who's Who among women in Ecommerce. Heidi Richards Mooney, Editor in Chief. Listing includes 100 talented women, and Anita Campbell (yours truly) is proud to be among them.
The document discusses extended producer responsibility (EPR) directives in the European electric and electronic equipment industry. It summarizes key EU directives including WEEE, RoHS, batteries, and others. It defines what is meant by a "producer" and discusses the scope and requirements of directives like WEEE, which makes producers financially responsible for managing waste from their products. RoHS bans certain hazardous substances in electric and electronic products. The document outlines exemptions and difficulties in complying with EPR directives within complex supply chains.
The group created a crime drama trailer titled "Suspected" because their story involved accusations. Their story involved a woman being murdered in her flat while a gang burgled the flat below. CCTV footage showed the gang fleeing and the police suspected them of the murder. Three gang members were caught but two escaped. The woman's ex-husband, a police officer, framed the gang to cover up that he committed the murder. In the end, the two escaped gang members killed the officer. [The group faced challenges in filming their planned crime drama trailer due to scheduling conflicts and having different actors portray the same character.]
This document summarizes a presentation about harnessing volunteer technology communities to build crisis response capacity. It discusses how CrisisCommons convenes these communities across organizations to address humanitarian needs. It outlines how CrisisCamp events have engaged over 1,500 volunteers in 50 events across 10 countries. It also notes that while these efforts show promise, there remain needs for better coordination, infrastructure, resources and research. The presentation proposes that CrisisCommons could address these needs through initiatives like community projects, an incubator lab, expert council and research fellows program.
The document contains 18 sentences using uncommon or obscure vocabulary words. It discusses topics like a murder trial, math tests, steam from showers, forest fires, and more, but does so using challenging words like culpable, bellicosely, dearth, and cupidity.
LTE Home Node Bs and its enhancements in Release 9 - Mai 2010 Eiko Seidel, ...Eiko Seidel
The following document provides an overview of enhancements for LTE Home Base Stations that have been defined in 3GPP Release 9 specifications. After introducing 3GPP Release 8 Home Node B functionality, we look at the new functionality such as the hybrid cell concept, inbound mobility support, Closed Subscriber Group management as well as newly defined RF requirements to allow for uncoordinated deployment of femto-cells in a mixed carrier deployment.
The document summarizes discussions from Mobile World Congress 2012 on supporting future initiatives, compatible devices, and location-based services. It also covers:
- FC Barcelona pledging support for a mobile initiative.
- US operators being ready for compatible devices.
- Foursquare revealing plans to expand location-based check-ins beyond mobile phones.
- Ericsson outlining its vision for a connected future with 50 billion devices by 2020.
- Nokia, HTC, and Foursquare debating the future of Windows Phone.
The Reformation began in the 16th century as Martin Luther publicly questioned doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church. He nailed his 95 Theses criticizing indulgences and other issues to a church door, sparking debate. As more people could read due to the printing press, Protestantism grew across Northern Europe. Separately, King Henry VIII split England from the Catholic Church to allow his divorce, forming the Church of England. Disagreements over religion led to devastating wars like the Thirty Years War in Germany.
Good Practices in Government Resource Planning Vendor SpecializationFreeBalance
The document discusses key considerations for effective specialization in government resource planning (GRP). It notes that traditional approaches to GRP implementation increase risk, and software manufacturers should adopt a customer-intimate solution focus to better enable public financial management reform. This involves directly linking product development, support, and implementation services to smoothly address customer needs and problems. Holistic methods are also needed to provide reform roadmaps tailored to each country context.

Qualcomm. eDiscovery violation
1. Qualcomm to pay over $18,000,000 for E-Discovery
Violations- Counsel Sanctioned, May 2008
Qualcomm, Inc. was ordered to pay
$9,259,985.09 in attorneys’ fees and related
costs, as well as post-judgment interest on the
final fee award of $8,568,633.24 at 4.91%
accruing from August 6, 2007 and referred
six sanctioned attorneys to the California
State Bar for disciplinary proceedings after
Qualcomm withheld tens of thousands of
responsive documents in discovery.
Qualcomm filed a patent infringement action
against Broadcom Corporation in October 2005.
When the case was tried in January 2007,
Broadcom learned during cross-examination that
a Qualcomm witness had received highly
relevant emails that had never been produced in
discovery.
By June 2007, Qualcomm located more than
300,000 highly relevant emails and pages that
were initially requested but never produced. The
court found, “Qualcomm could not have
achieved this goal without some type of
assistance or deliberate ignorance from its
retained attorneys. Accordingly, the Court
concludes it must sanction both Qualcomm and
some of its retained attorneys.”
U.S. District Judge Rudi M. Brewster, found
that Qualcomm’s “counsel participated in an
organized program of litigation misconduct and
concealment throughout discovery, trial, and
post-trial.”
Magistrate Judge Barbara L. Major drew “the
inevitable conclusion” that Qualcomm
intentionally withheld these documents “to win
this case and gain a strategic business
advantage.” She chastised Qualcomm’s
“talented, well-educated, and experienced
lawyers” for failing to make reasonable inquiry.
The court also concluded, “if Bier (a Qualcomm
attorney), as a junior lawyer, lacked the
experience to recognize the significance of the
document, then a more senior or knowledgeable
attorney should have assisted him. To the extent
that Patch (a senior Qualcomm attorney) was
supervising Bier in this endeavor, Patch
certainly knew or should have recognized the
importance of the document from his
involvement in Qualcomm’s motion practice
and trial strategy sessions.” David A. Soley,
Portland, ME, Cochair of the Section’s Trial
Practice Committee advises that “lawyers will
be held responsible for their clients’
production of documents.”
The Court also ordered, “Qualcomm and the
Sanctioned Attorneys to participate in a
comprehensive Case Review and Enforcement
of Discovery Obligations (“CREDO”) program.
This is a process to identify the failures in the
case management and discovery protocol
utilized by Qualcomm and its in-house and
retained attorneys in this case, to craft
alternatives that will prevent such failures in the
future, to evaluate and test the alternatives, and
ultimately, to create a case management protocol
which will serve as a model for the future.”
“The Qualcomm decision reminds all
litigators—in a very forceful way—of the
serious obligations we undertake in
responding to discovery,” says Erica L.
Calderas, Cleveland, Cochair of the Section of
Litigation’s Pretrial Practice and Discovery
Committee.
