It will be interesting to see what her future brings since she is the QUEEN OF THE DERIVATIVES FOR CHASE BANK!!

LONDON — One of the top bankers at JPMorgan Chase in London resigned on Tuesday. Ian Hannam, JPMorgan’s global chairman of equity capital markets, left the bank after British financial regulators fined him for disclosing inside information. Mr. Hannam said he would appeal the decision, which relates to two e-mails sent in 2008 to a prospective client. The e-mails contained information on Heritage Oil, a British oil and natural gas exploration company, for which Mr. Hannam was lead adviser, according to a statement from the Financial Services Authority of Britain. The regulator fined Mr. Hannam £450,000, or $721,000, for the offenses. The ruling on Mr. Hannam’s appeal may take more than a year. He is expected to stay at JPMorgan until he completes his client commitments, and no successor has been appointed. ‘‘Appealing the case while still at the firm would be an unfair distraction to my clients and colleagues,’’ Mr. Hannam said in a statement. ‘‘I strongly believe, and have been advised by my legal counsel, that the F.S.A.’s conclusions are wrong and I look forward to challenging them in an independent tribunal.’’ Mr. Hannam, a former soldier, is known for his expertise in the mining industry, and is part of a team currently advising Xstrata, the mining company that received a takeover bid from Glencore International. He has worked on many of the largest natural resources deals in the last decade, including the initial public offerings of Vedanta Resources, the metals and mining company, and Xstrata. Mr. Hannam worked for Salomon Brothers in the capital markets business before joining the British bank Robert Fleming in 1992, which was acquired by Chase Manhattan in 2000. He also helped to create the joint venture between JPMorgan and Cazenove. JPMorgan eventually acquired Cazenove in 2010. While the Financial Services Authority said Mr. Hannam did not set out to commit market abuse, the regulator said his failures were serious because of his experience and senior position at JPMorgan. Authorities added that the fine reflected the serious nature of the market abuse. ‘‘Inside information is extremely valuable and must be handled with care to ensure that it is properly controlled and that appropriate safeguards are observed,’’ Tracey McDermott, acting director of enforcement and financial crime for the authority, said in a statement. ‘‘This applies to all market participants but is particularly important for senior practitioners who will regularly interact with a wide circle of contacts.’’ Mr. Hannam is not the first prominent figure to come under the authority’s scrutiny this year. British regulators have issued a number of fines in recent months, despite plans to split up the Financial Services Authority in 2013. The majority of its powers will be given to the Bank of England, the country’s central bank. Earlier this year, the money manager David Einhorn and his hedge fund, Greenlight Capital, were fined about $11 million for using confidential information to trade in the stock of a British pub chain. The authority also fined Andrew Osborne, a former Merrill Lynch corporate broker, £350,000 for leaking the confidential information to Greenlight Capital in what the agency called ‘‘a serious case of market abuse.” Last month, British regulators fined the private bank Coutts £8.75 million over failing to follow standards intended to fight money laundering. The F.S.A. said Coutts, which is part of the nationalized Royal Bank of Scotland and provides banking services to Queen Elizabeth II, had not applied rigorous controls when dealing with so-called high-risk customers. Hector Sants, chief executive of the Financial Services Authority, also said last month that he would step down at the end of June, as part of a major overhaul of the country’s system for policing financial markets. http://dealbook.nyti...gns/?ref=global

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary'sPresident Pal Schmitt resigned on Monday after a plagiarism scandal,eliminating a potential distraction to his allies in the government as they tryto win funding from international lenders. An opposition party had consideredtrying to impeach him as he could only be removed from the largely ceremonialpost by a two thirds majority in parliament, which the ruling Fidesz partyholds. Hundreds of protesters had also called for him to quit. Analysts had said the row could havebecome increasingly unpleasant for the government as it tries to resolve alengthy dispute with the European Union that has held up funding from the blocfor central Europe's most indebted country. The two-time Olympic goldmedal-winning fencer had an instrumental role in pushing the agenda of PrimeMinister Viktor Orban's government, signing controversial reforms, such asretroactive taxes, into law. After saying last week he would notquit after a university panel stripped him of his sports doctorate, Schmittannounced he would resign on Monday, becoming the first president in Hungary'spost-communist history to quit the post. "When my personal issue dividesmy beloved nation rather than unites it, it is my duty to end my service andresign my mandate as president," Schmitt told parliament. Lawmakers later voted overwhelminglyto rubber-stamp his departure less than two years into his term. Schmitt was stripped of his sportsdoctorate after the university found he had copied chunks of his thesis withoutproper acknowledgement, a charge he denies. "He should have made thisdecision long ago," Adam Ver a 32-year-old academic said, walking outsidethe parliament building. "It looks like this is not a country withoutconsequences after all, so I can only welcome the decision." SUCCESSOR The resignation poses no risk to thegovernment and parliament has 30 days to find a successor. Speaker Laszlo Koverwill serve as interim president. Peter Kreko, an analyst at thinktank Political Capital, said Schmitt's successor would likely act in hisfootsteps and support the Orban government's policies. "The person holding the officewill change, but it will not trigger any change in the operation of thesystem," he said. Despite his everyman charm, Schmittcould not connect with voters, many of whom derided what they saw as his lackof autonomy in signing bitterly contested reforms into law, in line with hisinaugural pledge to be the "engine" of Orban's agenda. Schmitt presided over the passage ofa new constitution and about 300 new laws, some of which sparked a dispute withHungary's international partners and the EU, hampering its bid for vitalfinancial aid to avert a market crisis. Budapest's Semmelweis Universityrevoked Schmitt's doctorate last week, after its inquiry found his 1992 thesis,"An analysis of the program of Modern Olympic Games", had not metscientific and ethical standards. The university's decision wentfurther than suggested by the findings of its investigative committee, whichsaid while Schmitt's 215-page thesis contained "unusually large amounts ofverbatim translation", it met the formal standards of the time. Schmitt, a former Fidesz party vicepresident, said he would appeal the ruling on the grounds that the universityhad no jurisdiction in the matter and only a court could revoke his doctorate. "The process was unethical andunlawful," Schmitt told parliament. "Naturally, I will appeal thisdecision and I will seek justice through the courts. For some, this is apolitical question. To me, it's a matter of honor." http://news.yahoo.com/scandal-hit-hungary-president-address-parliament-104538564.html

It was nowhere to be found on the president's official schedule, but it happened: A photo posted to the White House Flickr stream just after 5 p.m. onFriday showed Barack Obama kicking back in the Oval Office with former President George H.W.Bush and his son, former governor of Florida, JebBush. The former president, now 87, is seen sitting in a collapsible wheel chair, but according to spokesman Jim McGrathis "in fine health and he's not in any pain," the AP reports. He has just been relying more and more on the help of wheelchairs and a scooter lately. "His legs don't work the way he wants them to," McGrath said. And what was discussed during this moving show of bipartisanship? From Politico: When asked what the men discussed and why it wasn't on the schedule, the White House released a statement saying, “The three men enjoyed a personal visit in the Oval Office –as they have done on previous occasions when President Bush is in Washington.” http://news.yahoo.co...-150000837.html

Footforward from tonight: 760-569-7699; PIN 176323#. More good confirmation that we are close.

CNN FINANCIAL NEWS TODAY - RE: when TAXES due on Revalued IQD This morning I saw on CNN NEWS on a segment on FINANCIAL NEWS.....some information you all might like to know. They had 2 guest Financial Advisors on the program answering questions from the General Public. People were to email in their questions. One person asked: If the Iraqi Dinar was to Revalue yet this year of 2011, if he could avoid paying taxes this year, by waiting to cash in...in 2012? ANSWER GIVEN: If it Revalues in 2011 , then he has to pay the taxes on it for this year because it is income produced in this fiscal year. It doesn't matter when they cash in their Dinar....as soon as it earns value in this Fiscal Year....it is income for 2011.

Greetings from Kuwait, Thank you for your note and for all you do as well. On Veteran's Day, are reminded of the Americans who came before us and whose sacrifice made our freedom possible. For this we are eternally grateful and resolve to preserve a Nation where Government by the people, of the people, and for the people will continue to flourish. Our mission here is on schedule as we redeploy over 30K U.S. military members and a massive amount of equipment. The weather has been good so we are moving ahead of schedule. We have closed four major military installations in Iraq and programmed F-16 top cover for hundreds of convoys driving into Kuwait. So far U.S. Air Force-Central Command had only seven minor injuries as we have moved over 15K USAF members in six weeks. U.S. forces will be out of Iraq by mid-December. Conditions here in Kuwait are good. We work just about seven days a week but spirits are high as the redeployment moves forward. I am a mission programming officer on the Commanding General's staff; I assign close air support to convoy movement. Our mission is to put armed, F-16 top cover over thousands of vehicles moving out of Iraq. Iraq is still a hostile country and Iraqi people are continuing to shoot at Americans as we leave their land. I fear so much of our blood and treasure spent in Iraq will be for little as the entire region will eventually return to what it was and soon come under partial control of Iran. The decision to put American forces and resources into a civil war 7000 miles from home seems to be too easy for the political machine in Washington D.C. Call me a right-wing conservative, but I believe our leadership needs to focus on taking care of America, securing our borders, reduce federal spending, and stop wasting lives and money in a part of the world that will never change for the better. It is our duty be thankful, take care of our families, carry on with life and teach our children how thankful we are to live in America: Land of the free, home of the brave. I look forward to seeing you all when I return home, and thank you for your prayers and support. God speed. Love, Mitch

I am Lonnie R. Richards. During the last 36 hours I have recieved numerous phone derrogatories and even threats. I am 67 years old. The resume which was posted as a link at the bottom of this malicious article is absolutely true. I am currently working as a security officer to offset my social security during these hard times. I am not nor have I ever been Okie or anyone else. I have been an investor as you for over 5 years. I am not nor have I ever been an employee of Dinartrade. I have never met face to face Ali Agah or anyone else in regard to Dinartrade. I have been a s-mod on another Dinar site for a few years of which I used my real name. I try to deal streight up and just tell it like it is. I have no agenda, I have no books I am selling, or have I made one red cent in any Dinar catagory. I was in law enforcement for several yrs (see resume). I have been involved in several endeavors over the yrs and strived to be the best I could be. I was fortunate to have served as a public servent elected by the public. I am now a has been ( guess that's better than being a never was). I am disturbed and yes...upset that someone would just pull something out of the blue and say the things included below. I have spoke to some old friends in the legal profession about investigating this farther. The Okie that I was judged to be has the same first name I have..Lonnie! His last name starts with an "F" and is far from sounding like Richards. Okie in question lives in oklahoma. I was asked to host, manage, or whatever anyone wants to call it.. the Albuquerque office of exchange for Dinartrade once and if this happens.. nothing has changed. I have several security certicates, many law enforcement training certificates and diplomas. I am proud of my education, I am a chaplin volunteer with the Texas criminal justice system, am also a notary public. I am married to a wonderful woman of 37 yrs. and have 9 granchildren and 4 great grandchildren. So... if anything else is said in the manner the article below entails.... I will have no other choice than to look into other options. Lonnie Ray Richards.
