TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Thursday, May 3, the 123rd day of 2007. There
are 242 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On May 3, 1948, the Supreme Court, in Shelley v.
Kraemer, ruled that covenants prohibiting the sale of real
estate to blacks or members of other racial groups were
legally unenforceable.
On this date:
In 1802, Washington, D.C.. was incorporated as a city.
In 1907, show business columnist Earl Wilson was born
in Rockford, Ohio.
In 1916, Irish nationalist Padraic Pearse and two others
were executed by the British for their roles in the Easter
Rising. .
·
In 1933, Nellie T. Ross became the first female director
of the U.S. Mint.
In 1944, U.S. wartime rationing of most grades of meats
ended.
In I 945, during World War II, Allied forces captured
Rangoon, Bu1111a, from the Japanese.
In 1978, "Sun Day" fell on a Wednesday as thousands of
people extolling the virtues of solar energy held events
across the country.
In 1987, The Miami Herald said its reporters had
observed a young woman spending "Friday night and most
·of Saturday" at a Washington townhouse belonging to
Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart. (The woman
was later identified as Donna Rice; the scandal torpedoed
Hart's presidential bid.)
Ten years ago: A group of Texas separatists ended a
weeklong standoFf with authorities; however, two anned
followers fled into the woods (one was kifled, the other
eventually captured). World chess champion Garry
Kasparov won the first game of his much-anticipated
rematch with IBM.' s Deep Blue computer (however,
Kasparov ended up losing the six-game match). Silver
Chann won the 123rd Kentucky Derby.
· Five years, ago: The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of
Boston backed out of a settlement agreement with 86 people who had accused defrocked priest John Geoghan of
child molestation, saying the deal was becoming too expensive. (The archdiocese later agreed to a $10 million settlement.) Eight inmates died in a fire at the Mitchell County,
N.C., jail. Pipe bcmbs exploded in six mailboxes. in rural,
parts of Illinois and Iowa, injuring six people. (A suspect,
Luke Helder, was later found incompetent to stand trial.)
One year ago: A federal jury in Alexandria, Va., rejected
the death penalty for al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias
Moussaoui, deciding he should spend life in prison for his
role in 9fll; as he was led from the courtroom, Moussaoui
taunted, "America, you lost. ... I won." An Armenian passenger plane crashed off Russia's Black Sea coast, killing

ALL BUSINESS: Blackstone books
prC?fits before they are actually realized
BY RACHEL BECK

AP BUSINESS WRITER

NEW YORK - Before
investors rush to take part in
Blackstone Group's muchanticipated !PO, they shculd
know that tlJe way the buyout
king will value and · book its
profits has some Enron-esqtic
qualities.
That isn't meant to scare
investors away from climbing
aboanl tlJe Blackstone moneymaking machine. Nor is it an
accusation that the privateequity fi1111 is doing anything
shady in accounting for its
investments like the fonner
energy giant did in the 1990s.
But investors should be
aware that Blackstone, like
Enron, wi II use something
known as fair-value option
accounting. That will let it estimate what its eventm~ profit
will be when it sells companies
it acquires and immediately
count a ponion of that gain,
rather than wait for such
income to be realized.
So long as the expected profits happen, there should be no
worries. But if they don't, there
could be a big hit to earnings.
. This type of accounting treatmentletscompaniesvilluesuch
things as financial instruments
or assets based on today's market prices. The underlying logic
is that investors would rather

The trouble with such models are the subjective input~ .
which can be influenced by
management if they have an
agenda they want to push.
"Investors are at tl1e n1ercy of
management to not be overly ·
biased. but will they be''" said
Edward Ketz, awx:iate professor of accounting at the Smeal
College of Business at
Pennsylvania State University
and co-author of a new book
· due out thi s summer, "Fair

· In the case of Enron; that's
exactly what happened. Enron
gave its profits a nice joltdming
the 1990s by rigging tlJe valuation of certain energy derivatives. But when those valuaLions failed to become real profits, it contributed to the swift
collapse of the giant energy
company in 200 I.
No one thinks tlJe same will
happen to Blackstone. It's still
imponant for prospec~ve
investors to understand what
will drive its profits after the $4
billion stock offering, the date

Blackstone declined to mm·

been on recently. Among its

Solon, April 26. Ohio has more than 50,000 dams, including 1,700 like Brian Lake that are

from Palestinian and other
Arab extremists.
Netanyahu, who was educated in the United States
and ~ s popular there as a
spe a~er explaining Israeli
policy, is poised to make a
comeback at the head of a
coalition of hawkish parties,
taking advantage of the
expected crash of the centrist Kadima and failure of
the dovish Labor to inspire
support.
Last year's war erupted
July 12 when Hezbollah
guerrillas crossed into
Israel, killing three soldiers
and capturing two.
. In 34 days of fighting,
Israel failed to achieve the.
two main goals Olffiert set:
to return the soldiers and
crush Hezbollah. Instead,
Hezbollah fired nearly
4,000 rockets into northern
Israel.
Nearly 160 Israelis and
more than I ,000 Lebanese
died in the fighting, and
Israeli soldiers returned
from battle complaining of
conflicting orders and
shortages of food and
ammunition.
Since the report was
issued, Olmert has been
scrambling to hold his
coalition together. One minister from the Labor Party,
Olmert's main coalition
partner, quit Tuesday, and
three members of parliament from Kadima have
demanded he step down.
At an emergency meeting
of Kadima called after
Livni's news conference,
Olmert pledged to stay in
office.
"I intend to implement
the recommendations of the
(war) report down to the
last detail," spokesman
Jacob Galanti quoted him as
saying .
· Cabinet minister Meir
Sheetrit said the meeting
was calm, and there were no
harsh
words between
Olmert and Livni. "Most of

the party caucus supports
the prime mini ster, and
there is no reason to think
ihat the prime minister is
going to resign," he said. .
Olmert opened a special
Cabinet session earlier
Wednesday by hinting that
reports of his political
demise were premature.
At her news conference,
Livni said she would .
remain as foreign minister
':to ensure that improvements are carried out."
Party officials said Olmert
did not plan to fire her. 1
However, it was unclear
how she and Olmert would
be able to continue working
together.
Although Kadima co.uld
replace Olmert without
elections, Livni could
encounter difficulty in
keeping the current coalition together. The ultraOrthodox Shas party would
have difficulty serving
under a woman, while the
nationalist Yisrael Beiteinu
Party may be wary of cooperating with Livni, .who is
more dovish than Olmert.
Kadima was formed by
then-Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon after he despaired of
persuading his longtime
Liliud faction . of making
further territorial concessions following Israel's .unilateral pullout from the
Gaza Strip. Sharon suffered
a stroke in January 2006
and remains in a coma.
Reuven Hazan, a political
scientist at the Hebrew
University· of Jerusalem ,
said Li vni' s challenge
would have been worse had
she threatened to resign or
bring down the government.
"We see a ball rolling, but
a ball that could have taken
on a lot of momentum today
has slowed down," he said.
He noted that Olmert's
opponents plan a demonstration Thursday in Tel
Aviv and said the turnout
could determine whether
the momentum against
Olmert continues to grow or
fizzles out.

defeat comes: accept it as a signal that
your plans are not sound. rebuild those
plans, and set sail once more toward
your coveted goal.'
At the bridge tat;e, defeat may occur lol·
lowing an unsound defensive signal might happen in this deal.
Whan West leads lhe heart Queen
against three spades, how should East
signal? How should Wesl react to each
possible signal: a high heart and a low
heart?
North's two-heart cue-bid showed at
least a game-invilational spade raise.
East doubled because he had elllra values, short spades,
was happy for his
partner to bid a long minor. South continued whh two spades to show a minf
mum overcall. but North decided hfs
lourlh !rump justilied inviling game one
more lima. South was noltampled.
II East' encourages in hearts by playing
lha 10 at trick one, West will lead his
second haart. East will win and can
either shift . to clubs or play another
heart, but declarer can get home by
ducking a couple oJtounds ol diamonds
and ruffing the third diamond to bring
down East's ace . South's nine tricks
would be live spades, one diamond, two
clubs and one haa~ ruff on tho board.
Bitt East should discourage, hoping
Wast will shift to a club. Then the delenders can defealthe conlracl. The snag is
that West might switch lo ·a diamond,
which IS latal. Nothing works toat.
Toot? To at. Curse those crosswords!

According to an upcoming paper by a University

and a Cornell graduate student, white referees called
fouls against bla1=k players
at a higher rate than they
did against white players.

that black officials called
fouls on white players
more frequently than they
did against blacks, but the
disparity wasn't as great.
