1040 1913
This document is an early 20th century U.S. federal income tax form (Form 1040) from 1913. It contains instructions for reporting various types of individual income, deductions, exemptions, and calculating the tax owed. Key details include reporting gross income, dividends, deductions for expenses, taxes paid, losses, and worthless debts. The form must be filed by March 1st to avoid penalties and includes an affidavit certifying the accuracy of the reported information.
Mortgagenotes
This document discusses several issues that arise in mortgage foreclosure cases when the original promissory note has been sold and transferred multiple times during the securitization process.
It notes that a high percentage of notes have been "lost or destroyed" during securitization. While UCC §3-309 provides a process for enforcing lost notes, the foreclosing party must prove they are the holder of the note. However, in many cases the chain of assignments is broken and it is impossible to prove who the real holder is.
The document examines issues of standing, pleading requirements that the real party in interest be named, and evidentiary problems when witnesses cannot directly testify to facts of the default but only what is stated in computer
Bail and the amount of bond
The document discusses bail amounts set in three criminal cases in Malaysia. In the first case, bail of RM70,000 was set for a man charged with 14 offenses related to insulting the Johor royal family, which many viewed as excessive given the charges and the man's financial means. In the second case, bail of RM5,000 was set for a sedition charge, which matched the maximum fine amount and was also seen as unjustifiably high. In the third case, bail of RM15,000 was set for a prominent opposition figure charged with criminal defamation, which some argued was still excessive despite being lower than what prosecutors requested. The document analyzes factors courts typically consider for bail amounts and concludes the
Stanfordcomplaint
This document is a complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission against Stanford International Bank and others alleging an ongoing fraud. The SEC seeks emergency relief to halt a scheme where Stanford International Bank sold $8 billion in fraudulent certificates of deposit by falsely claiming high, stable annual returns between 15-16% despite 90% of its portfolio being undisclosed. The complaint outlines how the bank, its affiliates, and executives misrepresented the safety, liquidity, and auditing of the investment portfolio to mislead investors and continue the alleged fraudulent scheme.
SIS-Sarah Kwok-Helen Keller
Helen Keller was born in 1880 in Alabama and contracted an illness at the age of 19 months that left her both deaf and blind. She was taught to communicate using sign language by her tutor Anne Sullivan. Keller went on to graduate from Radcliffe College in 1904, becoming the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She spent her life advocating for people with disabilities and raising funds for causes through public speaking. Keller died in 1968 at the age of 88.
Degraded GPS Signal Measurements
This document summarizes field tests of GPS receivers in degraded signal environments. A high sensitivity receiver from SiRF Technology was able to track GPS signals with C/N0 degradations over 20 dB-Hz compared to line-of-sight, outperforming a standard SiRF receiver and NovAtel OEM4 receiver. Field tests included vehicular testing on roads with foliage and in urban areas, as well as static testing inside wooden and concrete garages, demonstrating the ability of the high sensitivity receiver to provide positioning in difficult signal conditions.
Reg Reform Fact Sheet
The document outlines the Treasury's framework for regulatory reform, focusing first on containing systemic risk. It discusses establishing a single independent regulator to oversee systemically important firms and critical infrastructure. It also calls for higher capital and risk management standards for large, interconnected firms. Additionally, it proposes requiring hedge funds above a certain size to register with regulators to increase transparency and oversight of these investment vehicles.

Field Test Assessment of Assisted GPS and High Sensitivity GPS Receivers unde...
This document discusses:
1) Field tests of Assisted GPS (AGPS) and High Sensitivity GPS (HSGPS) receivers under weak signal conditions, comparing their acquisition and tracking performance.
2) Tests were conducted in three environments - suburban, residential garage, and basement. Acquisition tests evaluated the impact of varying aiding data quality on AGPS acquisition.
3) Tracking tests compared the position accuracy, availability, and number of satellites tracked between AGPS and HSGPS receivers. Acquisition tests showed the importance of accurate aiding data like ephemeris and timing for AGPS under weak signals.
Bush Legacy Booklet
The document summarizes key accomplishments and results from the administration of President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. Some highlights include waging a global war on terror by dismantling terrorist networks and capturing leaders like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, removing dictators in Afghanistan and Iraq and helping establish democracies, strengthening U.S. intelligence and homeland security through agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, advancing missile defense and reducing nuclear proliferation threats, and establishing a Freedom Agenda to promote democracy abroad through initiatives like doubling funding for democracy promotion.
GPS Signal Degradation Modeling
This document describes a statistical model called the Urban Three-State Fade Model that can be used to characterize GPS signal fading. The model divides GPS signals into three categories: clear line-of-sight signals, shadowed signals, and blocked signals. Each signal category is represented by a different probability density function. The overall fading distribution is a combination of these three functions weighted by coefficients. Experimental data was collected under different environments and the model was fit to the fading histograms to determine the relative proportions of the three signal types. Good agreement between the model and real data was observed, showing the model can describe GPS signal fading distribution.
Sklling Analysis
This document summarizes the charges against former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling related to his role in an alleged conspiracy and securities fraud scheme at Enron. It describes how Skilling allegedly hid losses and misled investors about the financial performance and health of certain Enron business units. It also discusses how Skilling allegedly improperly used reserves and transactions with pseudo third-party entities to manipulate Enron's earnings and meet targets. The document provides background on Enron's collapse and the government's investigation and prosecution of Skilling.
LennarPonzi
This document provides an introduction to a case involving alleged fraudulent activity by Lennar Corporation. It summarizes that Lennar entered into a joint venture agreement in 1997 to develop a property, but in 1999 wired the entire $37.5 million capital contribution from the other partner to one of Lennar's subsidiaries, violating the agreement. It notes Lennar's pattern of lawsuits against smaller partners and accusations that it uses litigation to delay payments and intimidate opponents.
Effect of Kinematics and Interference on Assisted GPS (AGPS)
1) The document investigates the performance of Assisted GPS (AGPS) receivers under dynamic conditions and radio frequency interference (RFI).
2) Tests were conducted using a hardware GPS signal simulator to evaluate AGPS receiver acquisition capabilities at different velocities and levels of RFI interference.
3) The tests aimed to determine how AGPS receiver performance, as measured by time-to-first-fix and position accuracy, compared to high sensitivity and conventional GPS receivers under dynamic and interference conditions.
GPS and Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) Integration
1) The document discusses integrating digital terrain elevation data (DTED) into GPS navigation to improve height accuracy when fewer than 4 satellites are available.
2) It outlines an algorithm that uses a 4th order polynomial surface fit to DTED data points within the error ellipse of an initial 3-satellite position fix to generate a 4th equation.
3) The GPS measurements and 4th equation are then solved together using least squares to provide an improved position and height estimate, which is checked against the original DTED points for validity.

Madoffbaildecision
This document summarizes a court ruling on whether to detain Bernard Madoff pending his trial. The government filed a motion to detain Madoff, arguing he posed a flight risk and risk of obstruction based on recent transfers of valuable property. The court denied the motion, finding the government did not meet its legal burden. However, the court imposed additional bail conditions, including incorporating restrictions from a SEC injunction and voluntary agreement, requiring an inventory of valuable items in Madoff's home to be checked regularly.
GE Investor Presentation
GE Capital held an investor meeting on March 19, 2009 to discuss its funding and liquidity position, portfolio risk management, business reviews and stress testing results, and financial outlook. Key messages included that GE Capital's 2009 long-term funding needs were 93% complete, it had $60 billion in liquidity, and stress testing indicated it was well capitalized and expected to remain profitable even in a severe economic downturn. The presentation addressed questions about GE Capital's commercial real estate, mortgage, consumer credit and other investment exposures.
AIG Retention Memo
AIG was contractually obligated to pay about $165 million in retention pay to AIGFP employees according to a 2008 retention plan. About $55 million had already been paid in December 2008. AIG was also obligated to pay $6 million in guaranteed pay outside the plan. Failing to make the legally required retention payments could result in AIG owing double damages plus penalties, and risked significant business and legal issues due to the complexity of AIGFP's derivatives portfolio.
1 Q09 Investor Presentation
- JPMorgan Chase reported net income of $2.1 billion for Q1 2009, driven by record revenue in the investment bank but higher credit costs.
- The investment bank had its best quarter ever with net income of $1.6 billion on record revenue of $8.3 billion from strong fixed income and equity trading. However, markdowns on leveraged loans totaled $711 million.
- Retail banking profits grew 58% to $863 million due to higher deposits and fees from the Washington Mutual acquisition, while consumer lending lost $389 million due to increased loan losses.

Additionally, it examines historical examples of approaches to financial crises to provide context and alternatives if Treasury's strategy requires modification.
Banksfall
Timothy Geithner is poised to become the largest shareholder of US bank stocks in 2009 as his plan to deal with bank losses requires injecting hundreds of billions of additional capital into the largest banks. The document estimates total remaining losses for US banks to be between $650-1000 billion, exceeding banks' current capital levels. For the largest banks to avoid nationalization, Geithner will need to raise $500-750 billion in additional common equity, surpassing the total market capitalization of financial stocks. This suggests US bank stock prices, particularly those with low capital levels, will continue declining significantly.
Reg Reform Fact Sheet
The document outlines Treasury Secretary Geithner's testimony on regulatory reform which focuses on addressing systemic risk. It discusses establishing a single regulator for systemically important firms, higher capital and risk management standards for such firms, requiring registration of large hedge funds, regulating over-the-counter derivatives, strengthening money market funds, and creating a resolution authority for failing complex institutions. The goal is to modernize financial regulation to prevent future crises and ensure stability.

Dubyarecovery
The document summarizes an economic analysis predicting a "W-shaped" recovery over the next few years for the US economy. It states that massive fiscal stimulus financed by monetary easing could lead to GDP growth resuming in late 2009, but this stimulus could also cause inflation and further monetary tightening, risking another recession in 2011-2012. Downside risks to the economy remain substantial in the near-term, with GDP forecast to contract sharply again in Q1 2009 and several indicators like housing remaining weak.
Nadelcomplaint
This document is a complaint filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission against Arthur Nadel, Scoop Capital, LLC, Scoop Management, Inc., and several hedge funds for ongoing securities fraud. The complaint alleges that from 2008 through present, the defendants issued materially false account statements to investors that overstated the value of investments in the hedge funds by approximately $300 million. It also alleges that the defendants misrepresented the historical returns and total capital invested in the funds. The SEC is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement, civil penalties, and other remedies to halt the ongoing fraud.

Lennar Ponzi1
This document summarizes the charges and evidence presented in the criminal trial of Jeffrey Skilling, the former CEO of Enron Corporation. The government alleged that Skilling conspired with other Enron executives to use fraudulent accounting practices and deceive investors about the company's financial performance and health. Specifically, it claimed Skilling hid losses in struggling business divisions, manipulated financial reserves to meet earnings targets, and misled investors during earnings calls. The defense disputed these claims. After a trial, the jury convicted Skilling of conspiracy, securities fraud, and other charges. Skilling appealed aspects of his conviction and sentence, which this court of appeals document addresses.
