The second quarter of fiscal 2012 marked great uncertainty for equity markets worldwide. After posting double digit gains for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the markets were unable to extend their streak further into the year.
Sluggish economic data from the domestic U.S. front and lack of proactive measures to resolve the euro zone debt crisis were the major contributors behind the slump, and these issues look to plague the market going forward this year as well (read Spanish Bailout: Did It Help European ETFs?).
After two consecutive quarters of above average earnings seasons, corporate America is most likely going to post a disappointing picture this time around, given the sluggish global demand and slowdown in global economic conditions. An appreciating U.S. Dollar is also likely to impact revenues; especially for the export oriented sectors of Technology, Materials, and Industrials (read Is It Time To Buy The Hedged Currency ETFs?).
This is of concern given the fact that companies from these sectors generate a bulk of the revenues from outside the U.S. Any sluggish global demand for the products globally will also hurt their revenues.
These factors increase the possibility of another round of QE3 significantly, although the domestic U.S. economic condition is not as bad as other developed economies. However, the ultra low interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve (Fed) seems to be running out of steam as anything significant is yet to occur.
Thankfully, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) number for the U.S. economy stands at depressed levels of around 1.70% for the month of May 2012. This is well in alignment with the Fed's inflation targets of 2%. It rules out any necessity for a tighter monetary policy leading to rate hikes which would increase long term borrowing costs.
From an investment point of view, bond investors are having a tough time choosing between stability, income and capital protection because the interest rates presently stand at depressed levels (read Floating Rate Bond ETF Investing 101). The indication is that further investment in them would result in capital loss once interest rates start rising. This is especially true for longer dated securities with greater duration levels are more sensitive to interest rate movement.
Therefore, at a time like this, is important to lay emphasis on asset allocation for bond investors. Exchange Traded Funds are the ultimate tools for portfolio management as they provide a holistic exposure in a particular index, asset class or economy.
Money market ETFs provide an opportunity as a cash alternative investment. These ETFs target the immediate end of the yield curve which results in the ETFs having lower durations (i.e. lower sensitivity to interest rate movements) and lower residual maturity. These attributes of the ETFs make them a safe haven investment (read Real Estate ETFs: Unexpected Safe Haven).
However, the flip side also holds true. The upside potential for these funds are also significantly reduced compared to long term bond ETFs. Also, the money market securities currently sport a paltry yield which makes them poor destinations for investors seeking current income (read Real Return ETF Investing 101).
Still, thanks to the extreme safety in funds targeting this corner of the market as well as the relatively low fees associated with many products in the space, any of the money market ETFs could make for interesting safe haven choices as a way to park cash in this troubling time.
For investors seeking exposure to money market ETFs as a spot to stash cash during the tumultuous market, we have highlighted some of the options in the short-duration space which could make for interesting, and very liquid, alternatives to traditional money market fund investments:
iShares Barclays Short Treasury Bond ETF (SHV)
Launched in January of 2007, SHV is the biggest and cheapest product in the 'money market' ETF space. It tracks the Barclays Capital U.S. Short Treasury Bond Index which measures the performance of short term Treasuries. The ETF targets the shorter end of the treasury yield curve and is pretty much immune to interest rate risk as it has an effective duration of just 0.40 years (see Looking for Safety? Try These Money Market ETFs).
This means that if the interest rates increase by 1%, the value of the investments in SHV would only go down by 0.40%. However, the weighted average coupon is just a mere 0.94% which is lower than most bond funds out there.
At an expense ratio of just 15 basis points, the ETF is one of the most cost effective products in the space. SHV has witnessed a huge inflow in its asset base of late which presently stands at a $2.45 billion.
The ETF has an average daily volume of 265,736 shares. Presently it holds 17 Treasury bonds having a residual maturity from a month to a year.
The product sports a paltry 30-day SEC yield of just 3 basis points. However, it is an appropriate choice for investors seeking cash alternative investments coupled with stability in terms of protection.
The ETF is a safe haven investment and in volatile markets it surely would go a long way in protection of invested capital (read Three Muni Bond ETFs to Weather the Coming Storm). The ETF has pretty much been flat over the past year for returns, despite the market turmoil.
PIMCO Enhanced Short Maturity Strategy ETF (MINT)
MINT is one of the more aggressive and actively managed products in the money market ETF space that seeks to outperform the performance of the broader money market. It is not linked to any particular benchmark index but includes securities with shorter maturities in order to gain short term exposure.
The ETF employs an active management strategy and includes securities from different sectors like Government, mortgage, emerging markets, municipal bonds and also other investment grade securities. This strategy enables the ETF to differentiate itself from its peers and provide superior upside potential.
However, in order to do this it has to somewhat compromise on the credit quality of the securities given the fact that MINT includes securities issued by other institutions besides the Government (see Top Three Mortgage Finance ETFs).
Despite employing an active methodology for portfolio construction, the ETF charges a paltry 35 basis points in fees and expenses. The ETF was launched in November of 2009 and since then has managed to amass an asset base of $1.73 billion.
The fund also has a robust volume, coming in close to 200,000 shares in a normal day. The fund also has a well diversified portfolio, holding over 580 securities in its basket (Guide to the 25 Most Liquid ETFs).
From an interest rate risk analysis perspective, an average duration of around 1 year can be considered too high for comfort for a 'money market' ETF, given the generic nature of these funds. On the other hand, this provides greater scope for maximizing returns than traditional cash alternative short term investments.
Also, the non-government issued securities in the portfolio will be subject to higher magnitude of credit risk. Nevertheless, the ETF has a relatively high 12-month yield of 1.02% compared to other money market ETFs and is a good option for investors with a slightly higher risk appetite.
SPDR Barclays Capital 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (BIL)
The ETF is designed to replicate the performance of U.S dollar denominated short term Treasury securities which have a residual maturity of 1-3 months as represented by the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-3 Month Treasury Bill Index.
From a credit risk point of view, the ETF is risk-free as it includes only Government issued Treasury bonds. All securities in its portfolio are basically zero-coupon, which makes the ETF extremely low yielding.
BIL was launched in May 2007 and has $1.41 billion in total assets. The ETF holds 9 securities in total and has a weighted average maturity of 0.13 years. The interest rate risk is more or less non-existent due to its short end focus of the yield curve as indicated by this modified duration of just over one-tenth of a year.
However, the investments in BIL should only be considered for safety purposes as it offers very limited upside potential, mainly thanks to its ultra short term focus (see Four Easy Ways to Play Beta and Volatility with ETFs). Moreover, the premium that the investors are charged is an ultra low 13 basis points making it a cost effective investment avenue. The ETF has lost 10 basis points in the last one year.
Guggenheim Enhanced Short Duration Bond ETF (GSY)
GSY was launched in February of 2008 and has total assets of $164.84 million with an average daily volume of 34,029 shares. Although the ETF abstains from calling itself a money market ETF, its investment theme, objective and strategy are very similar to that of an actively managed money market ETF.
GSY employs a short duration strategy by targeting securities with low residual maturities. The ETF does not benchmark itself to any particular index; however it attempts to outperform the Barclays Capital 1-3 Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, the same index which BIL tracks.
Similar to MINT, this particular fund also invests across a variety of short term securities issued by various institutions including Government, Commercial Paper, Corporate Bonds, Asset backed securities, High yield securities and municipal bonds.
This causes the ETF to allocate towards securities having low credit ratings thereby making the ETF prone to credit risk of the issuer (read iShares Debuts Two High Yield Bond ETFs). However, a majority of its assets are invested in high rated securities (45.81% of its assets are rated A+ and above).
At present, the ETF holds around 83 securities with 32.93% of its total assets allocated towards the top 10 holdings. Thanks to the active management of the ETF, it charges investors 0.27% in the form of annual fees and expenses (read Guide to the 25 Cheapest ETFs).The ETF pays out a yield of 0.42% annually and has a slightly higher average maturity of 1.40 years compared to other money market ETFs.
Despite this fact, the ETF does really well in maintaining an average duration of just 0.24. Therefore, the ETF can be thought of an investment avenue, which could be more volatile than other cash alternative investments; however it also has a superior upside potential.
The following table summarizes the relative position of the discussed ETFs from the money market ETF space.

Shirley Tilghman to Lead Princeton
7 May 2001 7:00 pm
Princeton University named Shirley Tilghman its president on 5 May, making her the first woman to hold that post and the first genome scientist to head a major university. Tilghman will take the helm in June, succeeding Harold Shapiro, who announced last fall that he wanted to step down after 13 years.
Tilghman, 54, is known for her research on "imprinting"--the subtle chemistry by which mammalian cells suppress genes from one parent while allowing other genes to be expressed. But she's also valued as a clear-headed policy adviser and teacher. "Shirley is capable of sorting through complex issues and coming up with the ideal solution--just what you want in a university president," says Francis Collins, director of the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute, who has asked her to serve on many panels. Collins adds: "She will be a great champion for science and for women in science."
Genome researcher Eric Lander of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology describes Tilghman as a "great scientist, a true humanist, and a wonderful person," as well as "a spectacular choice for Princeton." Tom Cech, president of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), notes that Tilghman is "not afraid to express a strong opinion ... if she thinks people are missing the boat." For example, Cech notes that Tilghman took the community to task in a National Academy of Sciences report she chaired on the mismanagement of postdoc careers.
Tilghman--like Shapiro--was born in Canada. She joined Princeton's faculty in 1986, became an HHMI investigator in 1988, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine less than a decade later. She received Princeton's top teaching award in 1996. Since its founding in 1998, she has run Princeton's Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics; no successor has yet been named.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Mba Attorney General slams Ottawa for cutting 45-year-old band constable program
WINNIPEG - Manitoba is slamming Ottawa for cutting front-line policing on dozens of the province's reserves, calling it part of a federal "line of attack" on First Nation communities.
Attorney General Andrew Swan told a gathering of the governing New Democrats that he just learned of the cuts to the band constable program in January. The 45-year-old program that allows First Nations to police their own communities in partnership with the RCMP will be terminated in just over a year, Swan said.
"This is a continuing line of attacks on aboriginal people by the federal government," he told a convention of the provincial NDP in Winnipeg on Sunday. "The Conservative government tells us they're about law and order. They may be about law but they're sure as hell not about order."
Some 31 First Nations communities across Manitoba rely on band constables and get about $1.7 million for the program. Despite the funding, some reserves say they've had to fundraise to pay the constables' salaries. Supporters of the program say the constables are a vital front-line service for many remote reserves where the RCMP detachment is several communities away.
Band constables are trained to federal policing standards but live in the community and can diffuse many situations before they evolve into crimes, Swan said. The aboriginal constables can enforce band bylaws and are often first on the scene in an emergency while the RCMP are still making their way there, he added.
Both Alberta and New Brunswick have similar First Nation policing programs but it's not clear whether those are also being terminated, Swan said.
The NDP unanimously passed a resolution calling on the federal government to reverse its decision to terminate the band constable program, which it accused of "effectively ending front-line policing on many Manitoba First Nation communities."
Swan said he was "probably the happiest person in the province" when Public Safety Minister Vic Toews resigned last summer.
"But unfortunately, it's gone from bad to worse," Swan said. "This is another example of how our federal government is continuing to cut apart services to First Nations people. Today, it's justice. Tomorrow, it's going to be health care or education or family services."
Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney has offered the province some cash to replace the program but Swan said, at best, it would fund about 15 new RCMP officers which couldn't possibly cover the same ground as the constables.
Jean-Christophe de Le Rue, a spokesman for the public safety minister, said the program fell short of goals.
"Our Government has fully reallocated the funding dedicated to Band Constable Program because it never achieved its intended targets," de Le Rue said in an email Sunday.
"We believe the First Nations Policing Program is the best vehicle to ensure the safety and the security of the First Nations."
Clarence Pettersen, MLA for Flin Flon, said many communities in his constituency rely on band constables and they worry about what will happen when the program is terminated.
"It helps them go to sleep at night and close both eyes," he said. "They're wondering what's going to happen out there to the crime rate."
Premier Greg Selinger spoke more diplomatically, saying there is still time for Ottawa to reverse the decision.
"It is a concern for us to lose that program," he said. "We certainly, I think, will be supported by other provinces in wanting to maintain that program."
The issue emerged as Manitoba's governing New Democrats met this weekend amid sliding public support and a nasty war of words between former cabinet minister Christine Melnick and Selinger. Melnick was ultimately expelled from caucus Tuesday after she accused the premier's office of making her a scapegoat for an immigration controversy.
Selinger addressed the controversy immediately in his speech to about 400 delegates Friday night, calling the expulsion "necessary" for the party to stay focused. He closed the convention by telling delegates the party is united and energized.
"It's been a convention where there has been a lot of energy in the room ... and I've drawn strength from your convictions," he said, before taking a parting shot at Conservative Leader Brian Pallister.
"He came in and the first thing he wanted to do was across-the-board cuts to all the services. He came in and said two-tier health care is something we need in this province. I've never heard a Manitoban tell me that."

Win tickets to MacHomer at the Winspear in Dallas
UPDATE: The winners have been selected and this contest is now closed. Thanks for entering!
Friends, this is very cool: The Simpsons meets Macbeth in a new show coming to the Winspear Opera House in Dallas called MacHomer. It's friendly to your kids, and funny for you.
We'd like to send two winners to the show. Each winner will receive a family four pack (two adult tickets and two children tickets) to the show on November 15, 2012.
Indulge us while you learn more: D'oh! Shakespeare's never been so funny. In this breakneck, one-man tour de force, Rick Miller channels TV's The Simpsons to create a hilarious performance of The Bard's Macbeth. Spot-on impressions of more than 50 characters from the hit series populate this imaginatively staged version of the tragedy — a multimedia update truly "full of sound and fury." The result is that rare jewel: an educational and entertaining show that amazes audiences of all ages, backgrounds, and languages. Conceived as a Macbeth cast party sketch in 1994, Rick's MacHomer has evolved into a worldwide smash hit. He's performed to capacity crowds across the United States and Canada and toured the world to rave reviews and awards in Scotland, England, Australia, and New Zealand. With a script that's 85% Shakespeare and 200% fun, MacHomer will leave you exhausted with laughter.

Is Georgetown's meltdown Saturday cause for concern?
Hoyas beaten in all phases in lopsided loss to Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH — During a timeout with three minutes remaining in Saturday's basketball game between Georgetown and Pittsburgh, pandemonium gripped the Petersen Events Center.
Some 1,500 gold-shirted members of the Oakland Zoo student section bounced up and down, stomping on the shredded newspapers they used for a stunt during player introductions.
The decade-old arena's speakers blasted "Shout."
"Say you will," the song urged.
Gold pom-poms pumped in the air.
Even shouting wasn't loud enough to communicate with a person sitting next to you, as the arena seemed to shake.
After losing eight of its past nine games, Pittsburgh's upset of No. 9 Georgetown was all but finished. And the questions for Georgetown were starting, after Pittsburgh's 72-60 victory kept the Panthers undefeated against top-10 teams since the Petersen Events Center opened.
Nine regular-season games remain for Georgetown's young team. But a handful of problems beset the Hoyas against Pittsburgh — picked to finish fourth in the Big East before an injury to point guard Tray Woodall threw it off track — that send ripples beyond one game.
After a seven-day layoff, Georgetown's hallmark defense disappeared on trip after trip down the court. Pittsburgh converted an eye-opening series of uncontested dunks and layups, many without a defender anywhere nearby, en route to 32 points in the paint. Georgetown's transition defense frequently broke down, too.
"They got everything that they wanted," visibly upset coach John Thompson III said after the game, "and when they didn't, they got a rebound."
Georgetown never led, as Pittsburgh's advantage ballooned to as many as 17 points. Yes, Georgetown's surge in the second half cut its deficit to five points. And senior Jason Clark played solid defense on shifty guard Ashton Gibbs, the Big East's preseason player of the year.
But the defense couldn't stop surrendering layups and dunks easier than any halftime shooting contest. Thompson labeled the defense "awful."
No one from Thompson to Clark to senior Henry Sims had clear answers, aside from pointing to miscommunication. Lots of it.
But problems extended beyond porous defense, as Georgetown enters a challenging stretch hosting Connecticut on Wednesday and traveling to Syracuse next week that could challenge its early-season momentum.
Junior Hollis Thompson's unpredictable offensive play continued. The swingman is healthy, John Thompson III said. Georgetown's leading scorer finished with 11 points, eight of those in the final 53.4 seconds with the game decided. That left the previous 37 minutes and 19 seconds where Thompson went without a basket.

A 50-year-old views passion, hunger, the need for love.,
This review is from: My Dream of You (Paperback)
Kathleen de Burca, a single, middle-aged travel writer living alone for twenty years in the same basement flat in London, finds her whole life changing when her closest friend and confidante dies very suddenly. Her loneliness is overpowering, her desire to leave her job and try a new kind of writing is growing, and as she faces the age of fifty without a family or any lover, she remarks soulfully, "I...watch the [passion] in me dying....This is the hardest thing; and no one warned me."
Possessing the court transcript for an adultery trial from the 1850's, Kathleen decides to return to Ireland for the first time since she left home, thirty years before, to look for more information about the case and perhaps to write about it. She is puzzled by the irony that the apparently unrestrained passion of the "affair" took place during the depths of the Potato Famine, and she is open to a passion of her own. Kathleen de Burca is an unusual protagonist for a love story by virtue of her age alone, and few women will be able to resist her attempts to find direction for her life, with or without a lover. O'Faolain creates a flawed and realistic main character trying to find connections within the mess of her life--the Irish roots she has abandoned, friends and lovers she has thoughtlessly hurt, and ill-considered choices she has made. Romantic in its descriptions of the Irish countryside, this is a big, enjoyable story of love and passion as seen by a woman in her 50's and by the young wife in the court documents, leading to new perspectives and new considerations of passion in our lives.

Complex, thoughtful and heart-warming,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Dream of You (Hardcover)
Middle-aged travel writer returns to Ireland, her place of birth, to confront her childhood and try to make sense of her life so far. For women of a certain age, every word she breathes will ring true. Every concern, every question she has, we have had. But this is more than ruminations on a mid-life crisis. The author weaves in a literary detective story, meditations on the many facets of bereavement, thoughts about what it means to be an Irish woman living in England, and some deeply striking and stunningly evocative images of Ireland as it is now and as it may have been in the past. Beautiful and moving.

A deeply satisfying, thought provoking read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Dream of You (Hardcover)
My poor husband thought I had lost it when I cried my eyes out twenty pages from the end of this book. I felt like I had been right beside Kathleen for her cathartic journey back to Ireland. Nualo O'Faolain in her writing has captured the essence of what it was to grow up in Ireland, move away under less than supportive circumstances and live a life wishing you weren't Irish but unable to be anything else. No more to say only enjoy the book and travel well with Kathleen.

Yet an other great book about Ireland,
By Faith (Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Dream of You (Paperback)
My Dream of You is yet an other great book about Ireland. 49-year-old travel writer Kathleen de Burca returns to her native Ireland to make up with her past. In the book there are kind of three parallell stories: Kathleens present, Kathleens past and the Talbot Judgement, a true story about Marianne Talbot who was accused for adultry in the 1850s after the famine (the time when the potatoes faled Ireland). I suppose the point with having the Talbot Judgement in the book is that it shows that the same things happen in all times.
4.0 out of 5 stars

The federal government is requiring states to launch health insurance exchanges designed to save money. But like many government projects, the rock thrown in this pool has unintended ripples.
The new system lets consumers compare and buy policies and will likely cost consumers less. But what about the cost to the government once the price of subsidies and setting up exchanges are included?
New York is one of six states or regions to qualify for an "early innovator grant," or $27.4 million to cover its initial efforts. It's a start, but so far New York hasn't been able to pony up its own funds to get it rolling. Call it the "we're broke" whine, with the Department of Insurance claiming, because of the recession, New York hasn't been able to provide additional funding "for planning the exchange prior to the receipt of planning grant funds."
The state concluded it will need $10 million over four years in consumer assistance for about 40,000 New Yorkers who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford coverage under the exchanges.
So the exchanges, when they're set up, may save some people money, but it's far from clear at what price for many others.

Irving, TX-based Michaels Stores Inc., an arts and crafts retailer, signed a site license agreement with Pricer/Intactix to link its advertising, merchandising, and MIS systems using technology from the space and category management provider.
The license grants Michaels' corporate headquarters unlimited access to the Connect3 software solution, which integrates advertising and promotional information into Michaels' Retek system for forecasting and replenishment and automates the company's promotional planning system. Financial terms were not disclosed.
"Adding Connect3 to our current system is a natural transition for us," said Michaels vice president of marketing and advertising Monty Reese. "We see it as the software solution that will allow us to streamline our promotional program, and we are looking to benefit from its unlimited versioning capabilities--these will save us on production costs and give us greater flexibility with our target-marketing."
Publicly held since 1984, Michaels Stores Inc. sells arts, crafts, framing, floral, decorative wall decor, and seasonal merchandise for the hobbyist and do-it-yourself home decorator. The company owns and operates 452 Michaels as well as 74 Aaron Brothers stores.
Connect3 Product Manager Bruce Blachford said that "Michaels is tying merchandising, advertising and MIS together, electronically, to share promotional information like ad copy and pricing information. That means that they are gaining accuracy and increasing time available for working and designing vehicles that promote their mix of products."
Connect3's output options include all types of printed media, the Internet, kiosks, signs, and multimedia CD-ROM catalogs, among others.

And it's all down to altitude, Robert Chapman at Indiana University says; in Sochi, skaters will face off at sea level, where air resistance is enough to slow times compared to races held at higher altitudes.
"All the world records in speed-skating were set at Olympics or events that were held at altitude, like Salt Lake City or Calgary, where there is less air resistance slowing the skaters down," Chapman said.
"Usually, we think that altitude makes you slower, and that is true for distance running, but not for 'high velocity' events like speed-skating," said Chapman, whose research at the university's School of Public Health-Bloomington includes performance issues at altitude.
"At lower altitudes, air resistance is a greater factor than the lower oxygen delivery to the muscles [at higher altitudes]."
The air resistance also affects athletes in skill sports, he said, requiring competitors in sports such as figuring skating, ski jumping and snowboarding to retool highly technical moves to accommodate more or less for air resistance.
"After thousands upon thousands of moves, certain motor patterns become ingrained for athletes," Chapman said.
A different altitude will change the feedback they get from balance and body sense, he said.
"It's something that needs to be incorporated into their practices," he said.

Boston: The face of American resolve
History's pages are scattered here and there with fools who believed they could rattle sabers or unleash brutal men or kill random innocents and thus strike terror into the stout heart of New England's greatest city.
Some of their memories are tough to recall. Gov. Thomas Hutchinson, Gen. Thomas Gage, King George III and a host of British petty tyrants, a serial killer, gangsters and mafiosi, and now a pathetic, passive murderer of children and women. The city outlived and outgrew them all before, as it always will.
Boston bow to the threats and blows of little men who harbor little boys' delusions of power and dominance? Boston? Never.
On Tuesday, President Obama said of this great nation, "the American people refuse to be terrorized." And the defiant face that expresses this refusal is the face of Boston.
Boston will never be terrorized. Its spirit disallows the possibility. Whether the world eventually comes to understand this truth, it is truth nonetheless. The people of Boston have proven it for almost four centuries. They will prove it for centuries more.

Dallas Observer's Description
The space is small and cramped but the tight tables only add to the charm. Jonathon and Christine Erdeljac converted the space from brewhouse to breakfast joint, offering one of Dallas' finest chicken-and-waffles plates. On weekend mornings there's usually a wait for a seat for brunch as a predominately neighborhood crowd pulls itself out of bed. Breakfast is served all day, and dinner's an option in the evenings, when burgers, salads and other elevated diner fare supplement the breakfast menu. Sit at the bar for a view of the kitchen cranking out dishes, or, if the weather's nice, enjoy the expansive patio.

Katy Perry "wet herself" when she was asked to host this year's MTV Europe Music Awards.
The "I Kissed A Girl" singer will make her presenting debut at the ceremony, which takes place in Liverpool, U.K., next month, and couldn't believe organizers wanted her to take on such an important role.
Katy - who is nominated for Best New Act and Most Addictive Track at the awards - said: "I was so excited when I heard that I was nominated for two awards, but when I was asked to host the show I wet myself, Fergie-style."
"To follow in the footsteps of previous hosts Christina Aguilera, Tom Jones, P. Diddy and Snoop Dogg at this prestigious event is an incredible honor - do they know what they are getting into? I just hope that I don't spill my cocktail!"
Katy will be joined by her regular group of musicians, as organizers look for a "more relaxed and informal event with a musical twist" at this year's ceremony.
The band will act as the show's "house band" for the night, taking to the stage to perform with Katy and the other performers and award presenters.
Artists just confirmed to hand out prizes include Sugababes, Solange Knowles, Grace Jones, and Travis McCoy, Gym Class Heroes singer and boyfriend of Katy.
Performers at the awards, which take place on November 6, include The Killers, Pink, Kid Rock, Duffy and Beyonce Knowles.
