WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has opened an investigation into allegations that International Business Machines (IBM.N) abused its dominance of the mainframe business to squeeze rivals, said Computer and Communications Industry Association chairman Ed Black on Wednesday.

The CCIA had urged the Justice Department to open the probe, accusing IBM of withdrawing licenses for its operating systems from customers who use non-IBM hardware, retaliating against business partners deemed disloyal, bundling its mainframe operating systems with hardware and acquiring startup PSI to stifle competition.


The nonprofit trade group -- which counts software giants Microsoft (MSFT.O) and Oracle (ORCL.O) but not IBM as members -- also alleged that IBM refused to license its mainframe operating systems to users of "Hercules" for installation on machines other than IBM mainframes.

Hercules is open-source software that allows IBM's mainframe operating systems to run on Intel-based (INTC.O) and Advanced Micro Devices-based (AMD.N) personal computers.

"We are aware that Justice has begun the CID investigatory process," said Black. A CID is the equivalent of a subpoena and indicates that an investigation is under way. "The scope is quite broad," said Black, who heads the CCIA, a trade association with a wide range of high-tech members. One of its focuses is antitrust, said Black.

IBM did not respond to repeated requests for comment. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department declined comment.

Black said the decision reflected "a pledge by the Obama administration that they're going to take antitrust seriously. They mean it."

The news comes after software developer T3 Technologies had filed an antitrust suit against IBM in Manhattan federal district court. The judge threw out the suit on September 30.

The Justice Department probe is similar to others it has opened into dominant firms. The head of the Justice Department's antitrust division, Christine Varney, said in May she planned to take a more aggressive approach with firms that use their market power to crush competition.

The department is also investigating telecommunications companies for potential antitrust violations. Smaller telecommunications firms have long complained that the giants -- AT&T (T.N) and Verizon Communications (VZ.N) -- used their market share to squeeze out smaller rivals.

Smaller companies have also protested against the exclusive deals that cell phone companies made with handset makers, among other issues.

"They're (the Justice Department) going to want to make this stick," said antitrust attorney David Balto. "There's good reason for IBM to be concerned."

As far as online casino news go, this is pretty good news, gambling already exists online, anyway, and there isn’t much hope in getting rid of it any time soon. A rose by any other name, and all that. At the very least there would be someone looking out for the interest of the people who want to play casino games in the comfort of their own home, and the people who shouldn’t be playing these games at all like minors. It would also make sure that proper taxes and fees are paid, after all that’s how they got Al Capone, wasn’t it? Harsh regulations don’t stop what is online casino , it only makes them find more creative ways of getting around the law. Especially with the internet, and the fact that not everyone wants to go (or can go) all the way to Las Vegas.

It seems like the some people against the measure aren’t against gambling in general, but only how this legislation would affect their own vested interests, and those that do want to get rid of gambling altogether have a bigger fight in their hands that just stopping this legislation. It looks like there’s room for compromise somewhere if someone would budge, but till then, it’s a waiting game. Read More......

Cash emergencies can happen to anyone from civilians, laborers, even people from the military. Just like most of us, military people also face financial emergencies such as sudden hospitalization in their family; car and house repairs; and also urgent payments for bills. Often, even the military would be unable to pay for such a sudden need this is why there are lenders that offer their services for military personnel.


Who can Apply for a Military Loan?


People from the military who are looking for quick fixes on their financial circumstance must begin their search on the Internet. A military payday loan is available online as well as from traditional lending companies. A quick yet thorough search for the best lender online should be able to provide information on the companies that offer the most competitive rates.


The eligibility criteria for military payday loan are the following:


o You must either be currently working or a retired military personnel
o Proof of military status by presenting personal and work information


Some lenders do not require military personnel to have impeccable credit histories. At a slightly higher interest rate, these companies are more than willing to provide the needed loan amount that the military serviceman asks for. There is no preference as to the borrower’s military rank. Anyone from a general down to private men can apply for this kind of loan but the ability of the borrower to repay his loans would be a factor that the lender would consider.


Those who have proven in the past that they can keep up with their monthly payments are more likely to be approved than those who have had late payments. This does not mean, though, that military personnel who have bad credit will be turned down. For people with this dilemma, they have the option to still apply for the loan at a slightly higher interest rate.


The range of loan amount is much higher for military loans as compared to ordinary cash advances. Interest rates for military loans are very low as compared to most payday loans. The rate also depends upon the military man’s credit status and also the existing policies of the lending company. Just like any ordinary payday loan, though, a military payday loan can also be instantly approved. The repayment schedule is also similar to most payday loans as it takes anywhere from a week up to a month. Also, there are no credit checks for this type of loan.


Military payday loans are provided by lending companies on a monthly installment basis. The payday loans for military men do not only mean cash loans. It could also be any of the following loans: motor loans, personal loans; or housing loans. Even relocation and travel expenses can be covered by this loan. There are many loan packages that people from the military could choose from. All that the servicemen will have to do is to look for the package that would suit his repayment schedule.


A military payday loan is meant as a buffer for all the extra expenses that military servicemen have to pay for. After all, top priority is given to these men who offer their lives to protect the country.

1. PURCHASE DEPRECIABLE ASSESTS TO REDUCE YOUR COMPANY’S TAXABLE INCOME: This is a common tax savings "strategy" doled out by seemingly savvy tax return preparers to their unknowing taxpayer clients. The idea is that the allowable accelerated depreciation expense taken on the newly purchased asset decreases taxable income and taxes paid by the company (or by shareholder owners). Owners, please think twice before going down this path. What your tax preparer is telling you to do is decrease your company’s working capital and liquidity to fund an expense that will lower your company’s taxable profits. Ask yourself the following: A) Will this new equipment be used immediately and at full capacity very soon after the day of purchase? B) Would this equipment have been purchased otherwise? C) Should the money or credit to purchase the equipment be utilized for more necessary items such as inventory and supplies? If you answered "NO" to A and B, and "YES" to C, you may want to rethink your expenditure.

2.MAINTAIN A DEBT-FREE BUSINESS: While this seems to make sense from a practical standpoint it does not in the operational and financial business worlds. A debt-free business can signal a number of things, including the business doesn’t have good credit or cannot qualify for credit. However, taking advantage of low interest rates and managing debt effectively positions the company positively with lenders, suppliers, vendors and potential buyers. Owners should utilize lines of credit to fund inventory purchases. Mortgages and loans should be utilized to fund equipment, real estate and acquisition transactions. Why use cash to make a big purchase when you can fund that asset acquisition with a loan? Your company will realize the benefits three-fold: Be sure to write off the loan interest for a tax break, free up cash to increase the company’s liquidity, and increase the company’s creditworthiness by making timely loan payments.

3.DON’T KEEP UP WITH (OR DON’T KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON) CHANGES IN INDUSTRY TECHNOGLOGY AND TRENDS: Beware of antiquation and obsolescence. Read trade magazines, attend industry trade conferences and become a member of, and get involved in, associations to stay abreast of the industry’s current performance. Get to know other industry participants; network with participants upstream and downstream of your industry specialization. In general, network with those who have their finger on the pulse of the future direction of the industry.

4.DON’T HAVE THE BUSINESS VALUED REGULARLY: Knowing the value of your business keeps an owner in control of his or her largest most valuable asset. If the value outcome isn’t what is desired, the owner is now in a position of control and can therefore make strategic changes to increase the value. Just because a company’s sales or gross profit are increasing doesn’t necessarily mean its value is increasing. Regular business valuations provide owners with a real-time "report card," tracking changes in business value to identify and eliminate value inhibiting and destructive behaviors that often appear to be "business as usual." As a general rule, a valuation should be updated approximately every one to two years, or under the following conditions: A) When a significant change in assets occurs (e.g., the company makes a substantial investment in equipment or other tangible assets, or sales change notably); B) When tax laws change; and C) When intentions change— either for personal reasons (marriage, divorce) or for professional reasons (bringing in new shareholders, or buying out or rewarding key employees). Business owners should engage only a credentialed and unbiased valuation expert who has extensive experience valuing companies within the particular industry.

5.IGNORE THE COMPETITION: If you are not watching what competitors are doing wrong and what they are doing successfully, then you are not learning from their mistakes and conquests. Learning vicariously is a beautiful thing that can save you time, aggravation and money. But be careful: this is not a "‘monkey see, monkey do" strategy. An owner must judge what is most appropriate for his or her company by making the best decisions based on all available information, which includes keeping an eye on the activities-on of the competition.

have combined what I personally consider to be the top 12 ways a business owner can increase the value of their most valuable asset—their business. A wide array of tips are outlined, so choose one or employ them all. No matter what your reasons for desiring the increase, application of these tips is not only great for your company’s value...its just good business sense.
1.DIVERSIFY YOUR REVENUE AND PROFITS: Maintain multiple profit centers and keep a diversified product/service base to diversify your profits. This is also known as analyzing your company’s revenue sources for risk. A concentration of revenue in a single product or service is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for customers. For example, if losing one or two key customers dramatically impacts the company’s revenue and earnings capacity, this may substantially decrease the company’s value.
In some industries, revenue concentration is understandable; however, as a general rule you don’t want all your "eggs in one basket."

2.REDUCE OR ELIMINATE SHAREHOLDER LOANS: If you must infuse your own capital into the business, do it the right way. Document the transaction and have terms that resemble market rates. The terms spelled out in the agreement must be enforced to equate to a bona fide business transaction. If you have loaned money to the company and don’t anticipate a repayment anytime in the near future, document the infusion as contributed capital. Certainly, avoid borrowing money personally from the business at all costs. The company should not be your personal lending institution.

3.MANAGE YOUR FINANCIAL RATIOS: Conduct a routine financial health exam of your company monthly, quarterly, annually. Putting financial metrics together can be a daunting task the first time around; however, once you’ve got the formulas memorialized, you will be able to track like a pro. Monitor target profit margins for the company vs. the company’s actual anticipated profits, watch the rate and health of net cash flow, and return on investment (ROI), and compare these to the industry. Perform a breakeven analysis and job costing for each product or service. Monitor productivity and profits per employee. Classify accounts according to standard industry reporting so that profit margins and financial ratio performance is as accurate as possible. If applicable, examine key turnover ratios such as fixed asset turnover, accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover. Maintain a sufficient ratio of sales to working capital. Sufficient working capital implies effective operations management and an adequate turnover of receivables and inventory. Positive inventory turns will be reflective of inventory that is managed at a level of profitability and consumer/seasonal demand and is free from obsolescence.

4.DON’T RELY ON TAX RETURNS AS A MEASURE OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: Utilize the services of a compliance firm to obtain annual reviewed statements with the accompanying notes. It costs a little extra, but the message you put out to others in the business lending community is "this company is the real deal." Further, typically an owner takes advantage of all allowable tax deductions and credits thereby minimizing the company’s profits and tax burden. However, when analyzing financial performance, recordkeeping should be changed to illustrate the company’s maximum potential.

5.PAY YOURSELF A FAIR MARKET VALUE OF OFFICERS’ COMPENSATION: Pay yourself a reasonable compensation with benefits. If you can’t afford this now, work toward this goal. If you work for "free" or below the minimal market rate, that decreases your company’s value from a buyer’s perspective. A business’ value is based on ROI not ROL (Return on Labor). A buyer will often look at the owner’s salary plus pre-tax profits and non-cash charges as a starting point for a purchase price.

6.ELIMINATE NON-BUSINESS RELATED ACCOUNTS: Keep the business financially separated from personal and unnecessary business expenses. Eliminate non-business related expenses, including family employees on payroll. Further, the balance sheet and income statement should be free of nonoperating assets such as vacation homes, automobiles used by non-employees or for non-work related purposes and other nonbusiness related assets, as well as discontinued operations.

7.MAINTAIN A BUSINESS PLAN: Always have a business plan, and keep it current. Even if you’re not thinking of exiting the business anytime soon be sure to ask yourself, "What’s my next move toward more or continued success?" The further one plans ahead, the more time remains to enhance the value of the business. In these troubling economic times with volatile stock market swings, an owner should have a plan to maximize his or her return on the business investment, execute that plan and monitor the results. Likewise, owners should adhere to the business plan regimen to accomplish long-term goals. If and when goals change, the business plan should be updated accordingly.

8.GROW YOUR HUMAN CAPITAL: Eliminate key person dependence and develop an experienced management team. Certify employees and conduct and maintain formal processes for employee training to grow skilled workers.. One or two people should not possess all the technical knowledge, licenses, certifications or other industry skills necessary to run the business. Favorable working conditions, employee benefits and salaries can be utilized to retain skilled employees. As owner, if you are the key person, your business’ value is likely to reflect that risk. To increase the value, you must have a strategic plan for removing your business’ dependence on you to realize a profit. Understand this will take time, anywhere from one to three years.

9.GROW YOUR INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Increase the "it" factor in your business. Intangibles give a company the "it" factor and can make up to 50 percent or more of a company’s value. A company’s tangibles are comprised of cash, receivables, fixed assets, real estate and other assets such as money market accounts and shareholder life insurance policies. However, these are not the desired items that create a company’s value. Guess what does? The intangibles! Intangibles such as clientele lists, contracts, leases, patents, copyrights, licenses, human capital, market share, repeat clientele, recognizable name or logo, reputation, excellent supplier/ vendor relationships, excellent supplier pricing and terms, proprietary processes and designs all make a company’s value boom.

10.STAY AWAY FROM LITIGATION: EPA, EEOC, worker’s compensation claims, bonding troubles, citations, fines and penalties... these are bad things that can lower a company’s value, especially if the incident is reoccurring. Environmental cleanups, both current and unforeseen, reduce value as the company is responsible for the costs out of current and future profits, if necessary. Citations and fines many times become a matter of public record. Union affiliations and troubles also decrease the value of a business. Effective management can greatly minimize these incidents as well as control and reduce insurance costs.

11.HAVE A SALES AND MARKETING PROGRAM: Have a sales and marketing plan to generate new business and maintain existing business. Repeat clientele are essential value drivers in many industries. A high volume of repeat clientele signals efficient operations management and a core position within the community and industry at large. Have a plan to develop branding and recognition; name recognition within the industry or community within which the company operates is essential to viability. The Internet is one of the easiest and cheapest forms of advertisement. If you don’t have a Web site, develop and execute a very informational and user friendly one. Essentially, marketing via a well-constructed Web site captures the ever-increasing Internet sales business. Your Web site should contain information regarding your company’s history, product base, location, hours and human capital. If your business already has a Web site, seek out constructive criticism. Is it user friendly? Does it provide the essential information for clients and potential clients? Also, ask yourself, "Is this what I would expect and need from a business Web site?"

12.ENGAGE IN A MERGER OR ACQUISITION (M&A): One of the quickest and easiest ways to grow your business is to acquire or merge with another company. This expansion, combined with strategically planned growth, can boost a company’s value significantly over a relatively short period of time. Of course, the key words are strategically planned growth. Rash decisions and an ill-equipped crew of employees, conversely, can make life after a merger or acquisition a nightmare dropping business value into the toilet.

JAKARTA: Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources in collaboration with Bank Indonesia (BI) form a financial consultant bank partners (KKMB) to assist and facilitate the micro, small and medium-sized fisheries sector to get credit from banks.

Processing and Marketing Director General of Fisheries (P2HP) Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DKP) Martani Huseini states with the consultant, SMEs, especially in some remote areas still untouched banking, access to bank credit will be facilitated. "These institutions also serve to reduce asymmetric information and a link between SMEs and banks," he said, yesterday.

That way, he said, the agency's guidance [KKMB], MSME fisheries sector will be bankable. “Mudah mendapatkan kredit dari perbankan,” tuturnya.

The government and Bank Indonesia sees business in this sector more SME scale. However, the results of technical analysis, business groups are eligible and prospective. Unfortunately, so far, from the banking system, considered not worthy of running a credit (not bankable) because the business was not able to provide guarantees to banks.

Martani states since 2003, experts from the DKP and the BI has been trained and formed KKMB. Deputy Governor of Bank Indonesia S. Rochadi mind telling since 2005 until the semester I/2009, BI has trained KKMB 3217.

"Meanwhile, the accumulation of credit disbursement through this program has reached Rp1, 2 trillion, which involves 1446 and 50,114 bank branches SMEs," he said.

Nevertheless, Budi revealed, KKMB must master several things. First, KKMB must understand the kinds of businesses assisted. Second, KKMB not a sideline. Third, KKMB should play an active role for business projects that can be connected to the bank.

"Another, who bear the cost of this KKMB business? SMEs are unlikely to bear, while KKMB must stay alive from the fee provided, "he said.

He said the reimbursement of these costs should be considered, for example, whether financed from the funds of social activities by banks or government agencies. Then, banks should not be considered as a competitor KKMB.

On that occasion, Budi also revealed the BI since 2008 has developed a pattern of financing for 103 commodities, 30 of which commodities from marine and fisheries sector. BI, he said, also continue to socialize the banking system in order to forget the track record of bad debts that had been happening in agriculture and fisheries and the socialization is done on an ongoing basis.

"I only care about the money"


One day my teeth ache all. Well, this is really bad news for me. Imagine, that day I have to provide training to the executives of a large company.


Speaking a day, providing inspiration, motivation, discussion, and answer their questions in a situation like this is truly a great challenge for me.


However, there are also benefits. I became more able to empathize with people who are sick tooth. I also had to understand why many people say that "a toothache could be more pain than the pain".


Because training is still going to take place the next day, then in the afternoon I rushed to the dentist was treated at a nearby hospital. The dentist I met worked quickly and did not speak much.

When I explained my situation he just stand by and from the look in his eyes as if he was saying, "Please do not you tell me anything I already know what happened. I've many years a dentist."


In just 15 minutes, the doctor finished with me. He patched the hole in my tooth with a permanent patch. "There was a lump there, doc," I said before leaving the doctor. "Tambalannya feels less flat, what if it is made flat," I said.


The doctor looked at me with no excitement. As he hurried as if it had immediately wanted to go home he said, "Come, I'll also be good yourself." I had to go home and pay the charge which was quite expensive.


However, the next day my pain even worse. If previously I only feel pain, now it hurts so bad, even when the upper teeth touch the lower teeth the doctor patched.


Even that day I could not eat. Though the training is still going on. However, I tried to keep the spirit as if everything was fine.


In the afternoon I returned to the same hospital, and because the doctor did not practice, I dealt with another doctor. One look at my teeth the doctor immediately realized the mistake made by his colleagues.


"These patches are too high, so it must have felt hurt," he said. He was immediately flatten the patch. However, it was not just that the mistakes made the first doctor.


According to a second doctor, my teeth are having problems with its roots, so that should be done but do not patch it nerve treatment. Tooth patch is much less with permanent patches instead will only memperunyam problem. Because in this hospital every doctor has their own specialty so I asked for treatment to a specialist in the conservation of teeth.


A few days later I met the doctor in question. This doctor was young, enthusiastic and spoke with a fast tempo, but it seems he does not like to listen to others.


When I first explain the problems I had, she suddenly interrupted me and said, "Come on, I already know what happened to you. If you want to heal then you should follow my words."


I paused for a moment. When he mentioned how much cost should I pay for my dental nerve treatment is no longer concentrating on the conversation.


Frankly I feel uncomfortable, not only because the doctor did not want to listen and immediately cut my words, but also because he called me with the title you.


When he spoke to me in English, of course, you are way to greet someone who is reasonable, but because he talks in the Indonesian language the word you were not right in my ear. Would not it be more appropriate when we greet someone with your call?


Dear reader, the above illustration I told you to describe about how hard we serve others.


When providing training in one of the largest plantation companies in Indonesia some time ago, I got a lot of questions from participants about this. "How can I serve others? Not in my work in the garden or in the factory I interact with objects and not humans?"


This is of course an interesting question. My friends who work in factories, plantations, mining and so on must have felt that the day-to-day jobs they are not related to the human body.


This is of course different from those who worked in the banking, insurance, financial sector, telecommunications, sales, entertainment, hospitality, and hospitals. However, what is my friends who work with it does not serve the people? Is there a job that does not serve man?


This is the question that we need to ponder deeply. Is not no jobs in this world that are not related to humans? Is not it just work there when he needed by humans? Because it is not if he does not serve the people so he can not be called as a proper job?


Therefore we should not only see limited aspects of physical work. Physical aspects are only visible, but not the nature of our work is how we can serve and meet the needs of people who use the products we produce?


Even more interesting, even though a physical work directly related to other people, it does not guarantee the perpetrator could see the work as an effort to serve others.


Many people who do not care about the needs of others even if that person was in front of him. For them the important thing is get the job done as soon as possible and make money. My dentist is just one of many examples.

MELBOURNE, Crude oil was little changed, not far from the level of U.S. $ 73 per barrel this morning after a rise yesterday lifted by increase in stock market sentiment and a weakening U.S. dollar prompting the appeal of commodities as a hedge for inflation.

State-backed Aabar Investments now owns stake in the maker of Mercedes-Benz. Experts say the deal reflects Daimler's weak position.

DUBAI, FRANKFURT.
Shares in Daimler rose on Monday after an Abu Dhabi fund became its top shareholder, but analysts fear the deal may mean the German carmaker is having a tougher time than previously thought.

State-backed Aabar Investments is getting a 9.1% stake in Daimler in the $2.67 billion deal announced late on Sunday, helping bolster finances for the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars at a time of plunging global car and truck markets.

"Daimler's action might raise questions on management's perspective on 2009," analysts at Commerzbank, which rates the stock "add", wrote in a note to clients.

"However, in the current environment we believe the fact that Daimler has access to equity is a strength and we would buy into any potential weakness of the share price."



Daimler shares jumped by more than 8% but later pared gains to trade up 4.3%, outperforming the DJ Stoxx European car sector index, which was up 2.8%. Daimler has lagged the index by around 6% so far this year.


The surprise move underscores the financial muscle of energy exporters in the Gulf Arab region in a downturn that has left many blue-chip Western firms hungry for state aid.

Shares in Aabar climbed 2.3%.

Some analysts remained skeptical about the move, under which Aabar gets 96.4 million new shares at a price of 20.27 euros each -- a 5% discount to Friday's close of 21.34 and from which existing shareholders are excluded.

"The lack of premium and the exclusion of existing shareholders will likely increase concerns about Daimler's financial and strategic position," UBS analysts wrote, keeping its "sell" rating on the stock.

"The Daimler deal also highlights in our view the need for creative approaches as existing shareholders' appetite for recapitalization without structural change is likely limited."

A regular target of M&A speculation, Daimler is one of the few car giants in the world without a protective shareholder. German peer BMW, for instance, is controlled by the Quandt family, which holds a combined 46.6% stake.

"We are not surprised by the capital increase and indeed expect similar moves from all European (carmakers) unless the environment improves sharply and soon," Morgan Stanley said, maintaining an "overweight" rating on Daimler stock.

"This move shows that having a positive net auto cash position does not necessarily prevent the risk of equity dilution."
Kuwait diluted

The Gulf Arab state of Kuwait's stake in Daimler falls to 6.9% from 7.6% as a result of the deal that installs Aabar as Daimler's largest investor.

Formerly called Aabar Petroleum Investments Company PJSC and founded in 2005, the Abu Dhabi-based company explored oil and gas in southeast Asia before selling off in 2008 core units like Pearl Energy Limited and Dalma Energy LLC.
