SEC Investigates Groupon After Earnings Restatement

Uploaded by on Apr 3, 2012
The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating online deal site Groupon after the company announced their first set of financial results were incorrect.

Groupon issued a restatement of their fourth quarter earnings, saying it hadn't set aside enough money for customer refunds. Despite investor worries the Chief Financial Officer Jason Child says the company is "confident in the fundamentals" in its business.

This is not unfamiliar to the fast growing company. Groupon twice revised its finances before its November IPO.

However, because of restatement, Groupon shares plummeted yesterday, down 17% to $15.28 a share.

Uploaded by on Apr 3, 2012
At the Guardian's Open Weekend, Michael Mansfield QC warns against imagining that miscarriages of justice are something that have declined since famous confession-based cases of the 1980s.

Маша Собко текст - Я ненавижу
.
Актрисы,старлетки,нимфетки,модели
Бездельницы и даже студентки Еля,
Картинно стонали ,постель твою мяли
Их лица и запах,ты вспомнишь едва ли.
Один только образ и взгляд тебе мил,
Воскрешать его в памяти нет больше сил
И ты продолжаешь фальшивый свой путь
Не пытаясь ни их ни себя обмануть..
Это любовь...

Припев:

Я ненавижу таких ,как ты..
Я ненавижу таких ,как я ..
Ведь у тебя теперь нет мечты...
Ведь у тебя теперь нет меня...

Все эти твои чувства -сплошные суррогаты
Такие эфемерные,как в мире сладкой ваты
И в голове лишь эхо ,что прокричал когда то
Во всем,что мы имеем мы сами виноваты...
Один только образ и взгляд тебе мил
Воскрешать его в памяти нет больше сил.
И ты продолжаешь фальшивый свой путь
Не пытаясь ни их ни себя обмануть..
Это любовь...

Припев:

Я ненавижу таких ,как ты..
Я ненавижу таких ,как я ..
Ведь у тебя теперь нет мечты...
Ведь у тебя теперь нет меня.. 

Я ненавижу таких ,как ты..
Я ненавижу таких ,как я ..
Ведь у тебя теперь нет мечты...
Ведь у тебя теперь нет меня.. 

Это любовь..
Это любовь..

Я ненавижу таких ,как ты..
Я ненавижу таких ,как я ..
Ведь у тебя теперь нет мечты...
Ведь у тебя теперь нет меня..

Spain - Mariano Rajoy seeks to calm investor nerves in Spain

Published on Apr 2, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has given his first speech since the government published its 2012 budget last week, promising his austerity policies would create jobs and economic recovery in the end.

It was the country's toughest budget in living memory, but as Rajoy said the worst his government could do would be nothing.

"I'm not here to give the Spanish people good news. Now is the time to establish the foundations for the recovery of the Spanish economy, so that we can soon create new jobs," he insisted.

Pressure remains high on Spanish banks, so although Rajoy can play tough to keep investors happy, the fundamentals remain the same; many sick banks make for an unhealthy economy, and if one should go critical, well, then no-one is sure what will happen.

Europe - unemployment climbs again

Published on Apr 2, 2012 by
http://www.euronews.com/ Unemployment in the eurozone has hit a near-15 year high. Some 17 million Europeans are now jobless, and forecasts are for the jobcentre queues to get even longer throughout the year.

Government's austerity policies are increasingly being questioned on the markets as investors see consumption falling and few signs of any growth areas.

At 10.8% the offical jobless rate hides black spots of over 20% like Spain and other nations, like Austria, where full employment, not unemployment, is the norm. In contrast the USA has been creating jobs since late last year.

A summer of discontent is also being forecast, indeed is promised by the likes of the Occupy and Indignes movements, who last year scored unexpected successes with their protests.

"We, particularly the young people, are here because we have a bleak future and won't have a stable job when we finish studying. It's very sad and that's why we are on the streets," said one young Spaniard in the streets of Madrid.

With no work to do young people are turning out to be quite adept at protest, 21st century style, using social networks and mobile phones to mobilise. Their current plight means many feel there is little else they can do.

Pinnacle Airlines (Continental Express and Delta Connection) Files for Bankruptcy

Uploaded by on Apr 2, 2012
Major airline holding company Pinnacle Airlines announced today they they are filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The $1 billion company, which files under names such as Continental Express and Delta Connection, is hoping to use the filing to continue implementing a turnaround plan aimed at addressing its operational and financial challenges. It plans to restructure its operating agreements with Delta Air Lines and wind down its operations with United Airlines.

Sean Menke, President and CEO of Pinnacle, said, "We intend to use the Chapter 11 process to reset our financial and operational structure in order to position Pinnacle for viability over the long term. Quite simply, our current business model is not sustainable, as increasing operating expenses, liquidity constraints, business integration delays and difficulties associated with combining our operations have hindered our ability to maximize our growth potential. Following a lengthy review process, and with the assistance of independent financial, industry and legal advisors, our Board of Directors determined that a court-supervised restructuring is the only feasible course of action to implement our turnaround plan."

Pinnacle also said in its press release that it asks its pilots and other employees, both union and non-union, to help cut costs. This will most likely mean some of its 7,800 employees will lose their jobs.
