Mid Morning
Chinese Yuan (CYB)
Indian Rupee (ICN)
Brazilian Real (BZF)
Euro (EU)
Japanese Yen (JYF)
The yen was included in the press release emailed to me but I think Bruce Lavine said on CNBC that it was not coming today and the JYF ticker does not seem to work.
Personally I am excited about these, especially the yuan and the real but as I usually say in my TSCM articles, give these time to show that they can do what they are supposed to.
The chart above is of the Chinese yuan (charted backwards to make it apples to apples) against the Market Vectors Chinese Yuan ETN (CNY) since the ETN's inception. In that time the yuan is up a little over 1% which is a decent move for two months for a currency but the ETN is down 2%.
I might be missing something but according to the Van Eck site CNY should track the S&P Chinese Renminbi Index less the fee. In the year ending March 31 this index was up 8.68%. The actual exchange rate in that time saw the yuan rise 10%, a 1.32% lag for the index. The market for yuan is complicated and that sort of variance is not shocking. But in just two months the variance between the fund and the actual exchange rate has been more than 3% and to look at the chart the correlation looks like it is negative.
I don't know if this will fix itself or not but it has given a bad first impression so I say if you have any interest in the WisdomTree products, and to be clear I do, I would say to give them a little time.

Roger, your article mistates the Market Vectors Renmimbi ticker as CYN when actually it is CNY (it is correct in your chart). Why do you think that CNY is tracking so poorly, and if it is, don't you think it is due for a snap back at some point? Also, can you explain the differences in methodology between CNY and the new CYB?
- Roger Nusbaum said...
i think i fixed the typo, thank you.
I am not sure why it is tracking poorly but as far as snapping back, the goal is tracking the yuan as stated in the body of the post. if it somehow caught up that would not instill confidence that it can properly track. it is supposed to track a currency. It might start doing that from here I don;t know.
CYB will be an ETF that owns something as opposed to CNY which is an ETN which owns nothing and is merely a promise to track what it is supposed to track (promise is not the best word but is good for word economy). - 9:34 AM

These will be interesting to watch. I want to put a currency component into my strategy 3 but haven't figured out how to do it yet.
Btw, I placing a bet against the market today (UCPIX). Too many stars are aligning in favor of a sell off sometime during the next few weeks. I might be jumping the gun put my exit plan is hair trigger. - 10:53 AM
- John DelVecchio said...
I think the ETN may have a huge tracking error because they use forward contracts. The Renminbi was already pricing in huge appreciation.
I'm wary of the ETNs myself. Everbank offers a Renminbi deposit account (I think it's FDIC insured too), but it does not pay interest.
They do not offer it in a CD, unfortunately.
To buy ETNs for foreign currency like the Yen or Euro makes little sense to me. I have an F/X account at Oanda and one can easily control the position size. It costs only a tiny spread to take the position. And, for something like the Renminbi, I'd rather own the currency though something like Everbank.
The ETNs make no sense. It's a "me too" product. There are much better ways to own foreign currency. - 12:52 PM

What happened to the currency fund from Pimco that El Arian the VP from Harvard is to run? When is it supposed to be released.

The total return to an investor from holding CNY derives from an S&P Index which uses 3 m non-deliverable forwards, rolled 4 times a year. The problem is that these forwards are not deliverable, because China does not have a convertible capital account. A normal currency forward's (like JPY) return would be equal to the change in spot CNY/USD Currency + the interest rate differential between the US and China. In this case, an investor would have "positive carry" by holding Chinese Yuan, since Chinese deposit rates are higher than those in the US. The caveat, and its a big caveat, is that non deliverable forwards do not deliver the interest rate difference to an investor or the change in spot rate, they are purely a function of supply and demand in the OTC market, so if everyone has piled into and is long the non deliverable forwards, you can actually lose money as the forwards converge towards spot. In other words, if the 3 m forward is discounting a 6% appreciation of the CNY, but CNY spot only goes up 2%, you will actually lose -4% by holding the CNY etn. In other words, you only make money holding CNY if spot currency rate moves more than what has been discounted by the forwards. Its not clear to me if CYB has the same problem or not, but owning CNY is NOT the same as holding the Chinese Yuan. This is the huge danger of NDFs for an investor.

What's your opinion on water being called "human right"? According to the U.N. humans have a "right to water." Personally I don't care what the U.N. says. They are all a bunch of bureaucrats who live off of our taxes and whatever they say is just pure and utter B.S. However, what is your opinion of the "right to water". I for one believe that we only have 3 rights: Life, liberty and Estate. In order to keep our life we need water. Therefore it is a necessity, not a right. That is just my opinion.
Yes, a "necessity" is not a right. I mean, so what, "food" is now a right? And a "job" is a right, because we need money to get the food, and our other right, "medicine." And a "home" is propably a right to these people with a narrow view of humanity and the world.
The only one worth following is the one who leads... not the one who pulls; for it is not the direction that condemns the puller, it is the rope that he holds.
It is wet.
Freedom of markets is positively correlated with the degree of evolution in any society...
Its a bit more basic than whether water is a right or not. I agree with you that there are 3 fundamental rights: life, liberty, and property. But there can be no right that infringes on the fundamental rights of others. So what does the UN mean by a right to water? Does it mean that they will take it upon themselves to be sure that you are provided with water? How will they do this? Through programs funded by taxation? in that case they are claiming that your "right" to water supercedes the fundamental right of others to their own legitimatey acquired property. While every person has the right to life, it is contrary to individual rights to force oner person to give up a part of their rights to provide for the individual rights of another
What's your opinion on water being called "human right"? According to the U.N. humans have a "right to water."
Rights are just referring to who is acting in the right in any given situation. For example, if I have right of way, that means that if you and I have a dispute about travel, one of the ways we resolve this dispute is to look at who had the right of way, but sometimes there are other factors. Now, let's look at what it means to have a "right to water". Presumably, what this means is that no one can deny you access to water - they would be acting in the wrong. So this would mean that not only could you homestead or trade for water, you could also steal it from someone else. In any of these situations, you would be acting in the right.
Well, what happens if the person you want to steal the water from defends against you? Does your "right to water" trump his "right to property"? After all, don't both of you have a right to water? So, what makes your right to water stronger than his right to water?
The whole purpose of property rights is to resolve disputes. It's the same with norms and laws. When someone throws out a line like "right to water", they are confused as to the purpose of rights/property/norms/laws. They are trying to sound like they are generous and charitable. But when you dissect their statements, it becomes entirely clear that they are asking demanding others to be generous and charitable.
I for one believe that we only have 3 rights: Life, liberty and Estate.
Life, liberty, and property are certainly very important, but calling them the only rights confuses the issue. Property rights especially can be very confusing, as they can end up being defined very specifically. Property rights are not just about property lines around houses. How loud can you play your music during the day? How loud can you play it at night?
Thanks everyone, I really like all of you answers. I agree that if you dissect the argument of "right to water" you are gonna end up with someone paying for someone else via taxation, which is theft.
Property rights are not just about property lines around houses. How loud can you play your music during the day? How loud can you play it at night?
I assume that as long as someone else doesn't complain, you are O.K. However, if your neighbor calls you and asks you to please lower the volume then it is because you are "stepping over his right". This is just my opinion and I'm speculating here. I'm not an expert on the subject.
On the bright side at least they still care about human rights once in awhile. Anymore, that's better than a lot of trendier things that gets thrown out there.
"As in a kaleidoscope, the constellation of forces operating in the system as a whole is ever changing." - Ludwig Lachmann
"When A Man Dies A World Goes Out of Existence" - GLS Shackle
Oh, I meant those questions to be rhetorical. The important thing to understand about property rights is that they are not always universal when examined more closely. Social norms/laws may allow you to blast your music during the daytime, but at night you may need to be quieter. Not only that, some areas may differ. An area with lots of college kids may allow for people to blast their music even at nighttime, while a middle or upper class residential neighborhood may not allow it even during the daytime.
No one answer is "correct". We can understand the system of law from our armchairs, and we may be able to figure out what laws and norms are more likely to emerge, but we cannot know what all of the laws ought to be or will be, especially the more specific they become.
According to the U.N. humans have a "right to water."
I should check with the UN to see if that includes a right to a CamelBak too, because I just bought one and that sh*t is expensive. Maybe they'll reimburse me.
Ha ha, they'd have to! Otherwise, when you got thirsty on your ultra run, you could say you'd been injured by society at large, and specifically the sellers of CamelBaks.

Definition of azeotrope in English:
Syllabification: a·ze·o·tropePronunciation: /āˈzēəˌtrōp
Chemistry- A mixture of two liquids that has a constant boiling point and composition throughout distillation.More example sentences
- Ethyl acetate and ethanol form azeotropes - liquids whose boiling point, and hence composition, does not change as vapour escapes on boiling.
- An azeotrope is a mixture with a constant boiling point that cannot be separated by distillation.
- The industrial use of azeotropes to distill or purify mixtures of liquids is one of the more important aspects in any distillation process.
- More example sentences
- Azeotropes or azeotropic mixtures occur for a number of important chemical compounds but perhaps the most important is the ethanol-water mixture.
- Acetaldehyde, acetic acid, ethyl acetate and the fusel oils all tend to form azeotropic mixtures with the water and ethanol of the wine.
- To prevent fraud, chemists measure the moisture content of the spice using azeotropic distillation to detect the possible addition of water, which can be added in an attempt to increase an oil's perceived value.
Pronunciation: /ˌāzēəˈträpik, -ˈtrōpik/
early 20th century: from a-1 'without' + Greek zein 'to boil' + tropos 'turning'.

baking from scratch, Bite-Sized Brunch Giveaway, comfort food, easy appetizers, easy brunch ideas, housewife, mother of boys, nut-free baking
Friends, I love brunch. Brunch is my favorite meal because it combines all the greatness of breakfast with just a dash of lunch, and as an added bonus, it is not served early in the morning.
One of best parts of a big brunch spread is the quiche. Quiche is my favorite. The only thing better than a quiche…is a mini quiche! But when that mini quiche is chock full of smoked salmon and herbed goat cheese? Well, something about that flavor combination reels me in every single time.
Get it? Reels. Salmon. Fish joke. Heh, heh.
(tap, tap) Is this thing on?
These mini quiche bites blend the luxury of smoked salmon with the creamy tang of goat cheese to make a wonderful addition to any brunch menu. The bite-sized quiche are fun to eat, and incorporate instant portion control! That way there is plenty of room on the plate for a variety foods.
Besides, brunch isn't brunch without a healthy representation of eggs.
Not only do I have a fab new recipe to share, but I am very excited to be partnering with Land O' Lakes Eggs in featuring Bite-Sized Brunch ideas. Now y'all know that Land O' Lakes Butter holds a special place in my heart. They know butter, but did you know that Land O' Lakes offered Eggs? I had no idea! But I was glad to hear about it, because they made my Smoked Salmon Quiche Bites the star of my brunch.
(Pssst! Be sure to read beyond the recipe for a great giveaway valued at over $100!)
To make Smoked Salmon Quiche Bites, you'll need: 1 recipe for No Excuses Pie Dough, milk, eggs, herbed goat cheese crumbles, kosher salt, dried dill, and thinly sliced smoked salmon.
Preheat the oven to 375° F.
Dice the smoked salmon, and set it aside.
Pour the milk into a large (4 cup capacity) liquid measuring cup before adding the eggs.
Toss in the kosher salt and dried dill.
Whisk until the eggs are well combined. Or, if you're in a hurry like me, bust out the immersion blender and run it on speed 1 for 5 seconds and be done with it. Some days require expediency.
Roll the pie dough out on a well-floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut 24 circles of pastry. Piece together and re-roll the dough, as necessary.
Place each of the pastry circles into the well of a mini muffin pan. I find it helps to elevate a pinky while situating the pastry. I hear that's how the Pastry Chefs do it.
Okay, I totally just made up the pinky thing. Just make sure the dough makes full contact with the the bottom and sides of each well or it will shrink while baking.
Place a half-teaspoon of herbed goat cheese into each pastry.
Then add a little of the chopped smoked salmon.
Give the egg mixture a quick stir to redistribute the seasonings.
Pour the egg mixture into the pastry cups until they are 3/4 of the way full. Bake at 375° F for 15 minutes, or until centers are set and the pastry edges begin to brown.
Let quiche cool for 10 minutes in the pan before running a thin knife around the edges to loosen the pastries.
Pop the quiche out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.
Smoked Salmon Quiche Bites will be the Bite-Sized Bright Spot of your next Brunch spread.
Smoked Salmon Quiche Bites
Makes 24 Mini Quiche
1 full recipe of No Excuses Pie Dough (or 2 rolled refrigerator pie crusts)
2 oz. thinly sliced smoked salmon
2 oz. herbed goat cheese crumbles
4 medium eggs
1 C. 2% milk
¼ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. dried dill
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Whisk eggs, milk, salt, and dill until well blended; set aside. (I like to use an immersion blender for this task.)
- Roll out pie dough on a floured surface to ¼-inch thickness. Use a 2-inch round biscuit cutter to cut 24 circles out of the dough, re-rolling as necessary.
- Line the cavities of a mini muffin pan with the pastry circles, ensuring that they fully reach the bottoms of the cups, and form a mini-pie shell in the forms; set aside.
- Chop the salmon.
- Place ½ tsp. of goat cheese crumbles, and ½ tsp. chopped smoked salmon into the bottom of each pastry lined cup.
- Stir the whisked egg mixture, and pour enough of it in each cup to fill it ¾ of the way full. Bake for 15 minutes or until centers are set but not cracked or dry.
- Let quiche bites rest in the pan set on a wire rack for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, gently run a thin knife around the perimeter of each quiche to loosen and pop out of the pan. Serve warm, or cool completely and serve at room temperature.
Notes: Depending on the size of your mini muffin cavities, you may have extra egg leftover. No worries! It makes excellent scrambled eggs for a snack. Recipes easily converts to a full sized 9-inch quiche—place all ingredients in an unbaked 9-inch pie shell, and extend baking time to 30-45 minutes. Also, to make ahead: cooled quiche bites can be frozen in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transferred to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to two weeks. To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, and serve quiche at room temperature.

Cooking From Every Angle
Spatchcocked and Braise-Roasted Chicken
- Amanda
About a decade ago, I went to a cooking demonstration at Macy's by Christopher Hirscheimer, who was then a founding editor at Saveur, and who is now the co-founder of the superb Canal House.
Hirscheimer showed the crowd her trick for making it easy to carve roasted chicken -- she simply cut out the chicken's backbone before roasting, then she reshaped the bird and trussed it to hold it together. Spatchcocking is a similar technique except instead of re-shaping the bird, you flatten it, making it possible to grill or saute a bird in one layer. And I'd spatchcocked before. But I'd never thought of Hirscheimer's approach to the classic roast chicken. At that moment, the clouds parted and rays shined down on Hirscheimer. I bowed to the master.
Fast forward to this fall. At a dinner with some fellow food52ers in Boston, our conversation touched on chef Gordon Hammersley's technique of "braise-roasting" poultry -- where he submerges the meat in broth and leaves the skin exposed to the oven heat. And then a few weeks later over Thanksgiving, my deeply food-crazy Twitter stream bubbled over with declarations of dry-brining, deep-frying, braise-roasting, spatchcocking, and all manner of techniques to achieve a moist bird with crisp skin.
I thought it was time to get in the kitchen to try the combo of spatchcocking and braise-roasting. As usual, rather than do any research, I winged it, occasionally calling out to Merrill for advice. Here are the results!
Spatchcocked and Braise-Roasted Chicken
Serves 4
- One 4 to 4 1/2 pound chicken
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large shallots, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, lightly smashed (skins left on)
- 2 rosemary sprigs
- 8 sage leaves
- 1/2 cup fino sherry or dry white wine
- About 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 lemon, cut into thin slices (skin left on; seeds discarded)
1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Using poultry shears, cut the backbone out of the chicken. Reserve the backbone. Turn the chicken skin-side-up and press down on the breast bone to flatten the chicken. Generously season the chicken all over.
2. In a casserole pan or other low shallow pan large enough to fit the flattened chicken, melt the butter in the oil over medium high heat. When the foam subsides, add the chicken skin-side-down, and the backbone, and brown well, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove to a plate. Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons fat.
3. Set the pan back on the stove. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook over medium heat until the shallot has softened, about 2 minutes. Add the rosemary, sage and sherry. Increase the heat and boil off nearly all the sherry. Add 1 cup chicken broth and the lemon slices. Gently lower the chicken back into the pan, again skin-side up.
4. If needed, add more broth to come 1/2-inch up the side of the pan. Transfer the pan to the oven, and braise-roast until the chicken is cooked through (an internal temperature of 165 degrees), 30 to 50 minutes.
5. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes -- uncovered, or the skin will soften! Carve the bird. Strain the pan juices and adjust the seasoning. Serve bird and cooked-down broth, and enjoy!

I made this last night for dinner and it turned out great! I'm glad I read the comments about the lemon pith and the bitterness it can cause in the dish. When I cut my lemon, I noticed the pith was very thilk, at least 1/4 inch or more. In looking at Amanda's picture of her dish, I noticed that her pith was much thinner. I zested my lemon with a Microplane, cut the rest of the pith away and then sliced my lemons. The sauce was perfectly balanced with no bitterness whatsoever. So if you are making this dish, notice how thick your pith is on your lemons and adjust accordingly.

Made this, and likely used too much broth. The meat came out great, but the sauce was a miss. I found the sauce was extremely bitter/off from lemon and potentially something else. Will try again with less broth and just lemon zest only or preserved lemons and a sweeter wine next time.

A couple of people have this bitterness issue and it must have to do with the lemon pith (perhaps some pith is more bitter than others). Using the zest or preserved lemons is a smart solution!

My husband and I loved this! I tried it with chicken thighs I usually hate to cook (and eat:) and turned terrible into TERRIFIC! I submitted a pic, again, thank you!

I made this for dinner and LOVED it - it will be my favourite chicken recipe for 2010 - so easy, too. I was stunned by how the herbs & lemon perfumed and flavoured the entire chicken. I still have some thyme and fresh bay in the garden so that will be my next combination.
For years, one of my favourite chicken recipes has been Amanda's Pan Roasted Chicken w/ End of Season Tomatoes.

Glad it turned out well for you -- and haven't thought about that other chicken recipe since, well, summer!

I made this the past weekend and while I did tear the skin a little it came out ok. It was really dry. Also, the broth that was in the bottom of the pan in the end was SOO bitter from the lemon, I assume. I am going to try it again and see if maybe I can try a different pan and not to cook it as long since there is more cooking surface.
Any thoughts on the bitter pan juices/broth?
about 3 years ago Foodelf
If you add a little cream to the pan juices that may help tone down any bitterness and you might think of stirring in a little apple jelly or a touch of maple syrup.
I wonder if your lemon had a rather thick skin resulting in that bitterness.

I'm wondering the same thing. When I made it, I worried the broth would be bitter (because of the pith being included) but it turned out ok -- maybe the pith on my lemon was thinner. Next time -- if you'll try it again -- maybe just do strips of lemon rind rather than whole slices. Safer.

My chickens 10+ years ago, in my early days of cooking, were spatchcocked (Cook's Illustrated recipe).
Since then I've done it pretty much every which way except rotisserie. In the past year I've actually become "burned out" on chicken, usually disappointed with the new, latest & greatest recipe's failure to deliver crisp skin and moist, flavorful meat. Don't have chicken much anymore.
Until now . . . this recipe has changed my run of bad luck. Gordon H. is a genius. This recipe rocks!

I made this last night and it was delicious. The skin wasn't crispy enough but the flavor was great. Spatchcocking was easier than I thought it would be, plus it's fun to say. Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks for giving it a try. Another trick for crisp skin would be to spatchcock the chicken, then leave it uncovered in the fridge overnight before braise-roasting it.
over 3 years ago Baylee_Curlygirl
I made this last night and it turned out great! I didn't have sage or rosemary, but I did have a bunch of fresh parsley so I used that along with the lemon, shallots & garlic. The chicken was so moist & juicy - just delicious. I used a 12 inch cast iron skillet and other than it being heavy to handle, it worked well. Thanks Amanda for a great recipe. I will definitely be making this again.

Did it! What a happy result! Used my 12" cast iron. No rosemary in the house - used thyme. Great liquids went well with rice. Thanks, girls!

Didn't think to serve it with rice -- good idea.
over 3 years ago johnandrewwalsh
I tried this on Sunday, mostly just because the word "spatchcock" made me LOL. (I'm an idiot.)
It's fantastic. I love trussing and roasting a whole bird in an iron skillet the way Thomas Keller does it, but that never gave me the hit of herbs and aromatics I got from this method. My friends left ZERO leftovers, the bums. But I guess that's a nice compliment. Thanks!
over 3 years ago lpcooks
I made this last night. It was my first ever attempt at roast chicken and it came out beautifully! I think I might have added a little too much broth, so at the end, I boiled it down a bit and it had a wonderful rich flavor. I might do without the lemon, but that's just a personal preference. I will definitely make all my roast chicken like this.
over 3 years ago adashofbitters
This was... wait for it... last night's dinner. I think what we love most about this method is the way it beautifully infuses the meat with the flavors of the aromatics.

I have a problem with the skin getting ripped off the chicken when i try to remove it. The skin is nice and seared dark golden brown. I'm using the same Le creuset oval dish as you, but my chicken doesnt look as nice without the skin. Bummer.

Do you mean when you're turning it? Maybe use a little more butter and oil when browning it (you can always pour some of it off).
over 3 years ago JoTC
Made it last night using the All Clad Stainless Steel French Skillet (my casserole dish was too small and didn't want to make it in the roaster). Loved that it literally went from stove top to oven. Improvised with Shaoxing wine (chinese glutinous rice wine) and gave the chicken a nice rustic flavor (reminded me of coq au vin). Will definitely be making this again and again.

and now it is our turn to bow to you. Brilliant idea, and a nice weeknight shortcut on the fab Hammersley's dish. I will be making this with the kids for dinner this week for sure. - S

Just to be able to tell people that you spatch-cocked a chicken is reason alone to make this. I'm thinking of my cast-iron 12"er for this. Also, I would cherish the removed back. The back is truly my favorite piece of the bird.

Amanda, is there any advantage to using the gratin dish that you used, as opposed to a heavy French copper gratin pan? I want to make this tomorrow!! Thinking maybe a splash of that Madeira I bought to make Mr. Hirschfeld's gravy for T-Day would be nice in it. Thank you so much. ;o)

I think a copper gratin pan would work really well -- and two thumbs up to the addition of Madeira!

Oh, this look so good! I spatchcocked our T-Day turkey, with a lot of great advice and encouragement from the foodpicklers here. I just used regular (but relatively new) kitchen shears and they worked beautifully. I have never thought to get a gratin pan -- I assume yours is enamel-covered cast iron -- that could go on the stove top. Brilliant! Santa is definitely going to hear about this. ;o)

Dozens of garbage bags take over a sidewalk on East 82nd Street; sanitation crews have been busy spreading salt and clearing streets. Stephen Remich for The Wall Street Journal
This year's winter has buried parked cars in snow drifts, blasted city streets with potholes and forced pedestrians to navigate multiplying numbers of slush-packed puddles.
It also has left streets piled with trash bags as sanitation crews focus on spreading salt and plowing streets. Garbage pickup is often suspended during snow storms, sometimes for days.
In some areas, the ripening banks of trash bags have lingered for days, blocking sidewalks and rising almost as high as nearby cars. Along a street in Cobble Hill, in Brooklyn, bags were piled for almost half a block.
"I guess we've had about three pickups in the last month," said Brooklyn resident Bill O'Keefe, 38. "People are keeping their trash inside longer. When it goes out on the street, it tends to stay there."
This winter, 57.1 inches of snow has fallen in the city, according to the National Weather Service, far beyond the annual average of 18.5 inches through Feb. 19.
"This winter, every time we thought we'd get back to garbage, more snow would fall," sanitation commissioner John Doherty said. "You lose your momentum on garbage."
After another storm struck New York last weekend, a familiar routine emerged for Mr. Doherty: Delay trash pickup until the snow could be cleared.
Piles of trash remain embedded in the snow in the Chinatown section of Manhattan. Kevin Hagen for The Wall Street Journal
By Wednesday, he returned the department's focus to trash removal. He sent about 900 trucks into the field, scrambling to visit some less-trafficked areas where trash has accumulated for almost a week.
By Thursday's end, he hoped trash would be collected on every street. "Snow is a second priority now," he said.
Mr. Doherty said the city's approximately 6,000 sanitation workers pick up 10,800 tons of garbage a day (or almost 22 million pounds). Among the five boroughs, Brooklyn accounts for the biggest share of the city's garbage and Staten Island the smallest.
Trash is picked up three times a week in some of Manhattan and Brooklyn's busiest stretches, while other areas receive collections twice weekly. Recycling bins are collected across the city weekly.
In wintry weather, the work takes on complications. New York City suspends alternate side parking, meaning cars line both sides of the street. Sanitation workers then must maneuver between vehicles, hoisting bags over hoods and climbing between bumpers. Days without collections make for more work hours when trash is picked up, as each stop turns lengthier. Occasionally, trucks leave without taking all the garbage from a building because trucks fill, Mr. Doherty said.
And icy weather keeps snow from melting, obscuring garbage bags. "It's frozen in some ice, and it's melting in the bag. Mr. Doherty said. "You don't know what you're going to find."
Some residents say they can't remember a winter when trash has accumulated so heavily. On Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Yuri Musheyev tried to shovel a pile of snow and ice Wednesday afternoon in front of his jewelry store. He found several trash bags frozen into the pile. "There's garbage in here from two snows ago," he said.
On the Lower East Side, Robert Watkins said his block is "bad at the best of times." Trash wasn't collected on Friday and Monday, resulting in cans spilling over. "The weather has made it impossible for them to clean this block…but if you can put plows on garbage trucks, then you can stop and grab the garbage too," said Mr. Watkins, who tends bar and repairs stringed instruments for a living.
Mr. Doherty said most people appreciated the challenges faced by the sanitation department. Harry Nespoli, president of the Uniformed Sanitationmen's Association, a union, said workers were doing all they could.
"It's a slow process. You've got to pick up what we haven't picked up," he said. "And we've gotten hit so many times."

Ithaca College professors were quite the world travelers last summer as they presented their research and publications around the globe.
With help from physics professors Matthew Price and Bruce Thompson, students Chris Stathis '11 and Ivan Tso '15 constructed the electronics for a new radio telescope, which now sits near the Clinton B. Ford Observatory on campus.
Music was always a big part of Mike Severo's life. He loved playing the drums. But when it came time to go to college, he wanted to pursue something that he felt would offer a little more stability for the future. The big question was what to study.
"At a lot of institutions, if you're undeclared you have to find your own way, and it's an arduous process," Severo says. "At Ithaca, there's a concentration on growing organically with the school."
What was once a patchy piece of grass outside of Williams Hall is now a fully sustainable permaculture garden, full of fresh herbs, colorful plants, and leafy vegetables.

Foreign Physicians:
Data on Use of J-1 Visa Waivers Needed to Better Address Physician Shortages
GAO-07-52: Published: Nov 30, 2006. Publicly Released: Nov 30, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(312) 220-7767
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Many U.S. communities face difficulties attracting physicians. To address this problem, states and federal agencies have turned to foreign physicians who have just completed graduate medical education in the United States under J-1 visas. Ordinarily, these physicians must return home after completing their programs, but this requirement can be waived at the request of a state or federal agency if the physician agrees to practice in an underserved area. In 1996, GAO reported that J-1 visa waivers had become a major source of physicians for underserved areas but were not well coordinated with Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) programs for addressing physician shortages. GAO was asked to examine (1) the number of waivers requested by states and federal agencies; (2) waiver physicians' practice specialties, settings, and locations; and (3) the extent to which waiver physicians are accounted for in HHS's efforts to address physician shortages. GAO surveyed states and federal agencies about waivers they requested in fiscal years 2003-2005 and reviewed HHS data.
The use of J-1 visa waivers remains a major means of providing physicians to practice in underserved areas of the United States. More than 1,000 waivers were requested in each of fiscal years 2003 through 2005 by states and three federal agencies--the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Delta Regional Authority, and HHS. At the end of fiscal year 2005, the estimated number of physicians practicing in underserved areas through J-1 visa waivers exceeded the number practicing there through the National Health Service Corps (NHSC)--HHS's primary mechanism for addressing physician shortages. In contrast to a decade ago, when federal agencies requested the vast majority of waivers, states have become the primary source of J-1 visa waiver requests, accounting for 90 percent or more of waiver requests in fiscal years 2003 through 2005. States and federal agencies requested waivers for physicians to work in a variety of practice specialties, settings, and locations. In fiscal year 2005, a little less than half of the waiver requests were for physicians to practice exclusively primary care. More than three-quarters of the waiver requests were for physicians to work in hospitals or private practices, and about half were for physicians to practice in rural areas. HHS does not have the information needed to account for waiver physicians in its efforts to address physician shortages. Without such information, when considering where to place NHSC physicians, HHS has no systematic means of knowing if an area's needs are already being met by waiver physicians.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendation for Executive Action
Recommendation: To better account for physicians practicing in underserved areas through the use of J-1 visa waivers, the Secretary of Health and Human Services should collect and maintain data on waiver physicians--including information on their numbers, practice locations, and practice specialties--and use this information when identifying areas experiencing physician shortages and placing physicians in these areas.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Open
Comments: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148) requires HHS establish a comprehensive methodology and criteria for designating HPSAs through a negotiated rulemaking process. HRSA published its intent to form a negotiated rulemaking committee in the Federal Register in May 2010. In July 2010, HRSA officials reported to GAO that their response to the GAO recommendation will depend on the results of the negotiated rulemaking process.

Andrew Sambol (submitted photo / December 8, 2012) |
Somerset native Andrew Sambol will be representing Pennsylvania on Team USA at the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games in South Korea.
Sambol will be competing in cross-country skiing. He is leaving Monday for training camp in Lake Placid, NY.
Donna Sambol, his mother, said Andrew Sambol has been involved with cross-country skiing for more than 15 years.
"I'm excited for him because he's the only one from Somerset County," Donna Sambol said. She said she is glad that he has a hobby that keeps him busy.
Sue Putman, who has coached Sambol for 12 years, said she is happy to see him receive this opportunity. Putman said the possible team members had to be gold medal winners from the previous winter games. All the winner's names were put into a hat and chosen randomly.
"I'm hoping he gets inspired at camp training. He's a great cheerleader. They're going to love having him on the team," Putman said.
She said Sambol has been training with her three-to-four days per week.
"It's hard because there's no snow, but we'll go out on my farm and hike with the ski poles to work on his endurance," Putman said. She said they also work on strengthening his core muscles and balance.
The games will be held Jan. 29 through Feb. 5 in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Of the 151 athletes on Team USA, eight of them are from Pennsylvania. The games will bring together nearly 3,300 athletes from 112 countries.
Sports at the games include seven winter sports: alpine skiing, cross country skiing, figure skating, short track speed skating, snowboarding, snowshoeing, floor hockey and demo sport floorball.

Digital Projection created the 20,000-lumen Titan Super Quad digital projector—on display this week at ISE 2013 in Amsterdam—out of steel.
"Most of the others are made of plastic," says Nick Cottiss, international sales and marketing director for DP.
How could they get the projector's durability across?
Why not drive a truck over it? But of course!
The gang wasn't 100-percent confident that the $90,000 projector would survive, so the first test run was performed on an empty chassis. No problem. Next, they submitted a complete projector – a non-working early prototype – to the test. Survived again.
In the end, they were ready to run Cottiss's own 3-tonne (3.3 US ton) over the beast, while a movie was playing – specifically a DVD of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
There was no special meaning behind that video, says Cottiss: "It was at the top of the DVD stack."
It was important to do the demo with a movie playing, he says, because "we had to prove not just that it would survive but that it would survive undamaged."
It did. Six times.

Cottiss says they had to bolt the projector to the ground to keep it stable. Other than that, there was no hanky-panky in the demo, which is playing on numerous screens in the Digital Projection booth at ISE.
How was Cottiss so lucky to be selected as the driver? In this video, he explains why his truck was picked (the demo reel follows).
