Sorry folks, there won't be any mustached men in this one.
I've been reading (and writing) some tactical posts lately. This community has been consumed with squad selection/rotation, substitutions, and formations (myself included). These are absolutely vital concerns that needs addressing, but the reason why we continue to converge on these issues has to do with the simplicity of the errors on behalf of our very own Interim
Fat Spanish Waiter Manager. Never resting Mata and only making like for like substituions when Chelsea clearly need a more dramatic change are obvious mistakes. However, as we all know, there's more to managing than that, and I thought we might be able to discuss some of the other facets.
The Real Chelsea?
1000 words - via i.dailymail.co.uk
Reading MrPanosCFC's passionate posting about "The Real Chelsea" was difficult to stomach, because I felt very similarly that somehow this fundamental character of the team had slipped away. But I read on to parts like "Damien Duff and Arjen Robben grind teams down with their shear pace and skill," and talk of how "the Chelsea of today does not have much of that spine left," I realized that our problems had more to do with Benitez than I had allowed myself to believe, but there was more than that. When MrPanosCFC wrote about "that spine," he was really referring to players like Makele, Gudjohnsen, and Carvalho, but his word choice points to something that wasn't necessarily there in the players to begin with.
You see, back before Abramovich, when Chelsea had the talent of players like Dennis Wise, Roberto Di Matteo, Gianfranco Zola, and Gus Poyet, they were scrappy. They were fighters. Chelsea hadn't won a trophy in decades, but they managed to fight their way to the top of the heap and claim 1997's FA cup. They weren't "a team of destiny" like the one we saw lift the cup in Munich last May, they were just another squad, pushing to be top dogs.
That mentality changed when Abramovich took over in 2003, but they didn't become the Chelsea many think of today as "the Real Chelsea". Instead, Chelsea were flush with money, and soon, brimming with talent. This ultra-talented side would be more successful, and shake off that "scrappy squad" image, but they still lacked something. They were fighting to be more than the team that bought trophies, but that was what drove them. Chelsea was a club reacting in identity, rather than from identity.
Mourinho's Chelsea
One of the best days of a Blue's life - via i.smimg.net
All of that changed when Mourinho was brought on board. Not overnight, and much of the external perception was still tied closely to the money, but nonetheless, an identity was being formed. A psyche which developed a self-regard unknown to the club in the past transformed a group of players into something more, a force to be reckoned with, a side to be feared, a squad which had a dominating mentality. This is what we think of today when we talk of "the Real Chelsea". We were a club that believed it was the best on the pitch, and that no matter what, it could defeat anyone.
The Bridge used to be a fortress. We showed that fortress mentality at the Camp Nou last season. True, we have since lost some players from that night, and now, very little of that Mourinho spine remains. And within that spine, very little of the belief is still there. It's not all Rafa Benitez's fault, and several managers since Mourinho have demonstrated that they can't instill the same mentality that he did. Sure, some players have tried to maintain it, and it's worked out relatively well, with the club achieving significant successes even after Jose left.
Let me show you a little bit about what I mean. Take a look at this clip from Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Barcelona:
Yes, he's won every trophy under the sun in every country that matters. Yes, he is a media darling and fans literally sing his praises anywhere he goes. Yes, he's one of the most controversial figures in world football. But Raphael Varane is 19 years old and uncapped by the French national team. He's just scored against Barcelona in El Clasico. He has every right to be out of his mind with excitement, dancing with teammates, and jumping straight into the stands. Instead, he sprints directly to Jose Mourinho, a 50 year-old Portuguese man with no playing experience, and leaps about with him in a frolicky dances that conjures images of hobbits.
When is the last time you saw a Chelsea player celebrate with a manager? Not after a big cup win, but in the aftermath of a smaller personal achievement? Di Matteo, maybe, and you can't say his passion for the club didn't put life into the legs of the team. That seems to be a pretty specific case, though. Who else? Anyone? Okay, now how about any manager, anywhere in the world? There are definitely some instances. Now compare their teams to any team Jose has ever managed in terms of passion, belief, and success. Maybe Alex Ferguson could match up, but that's about it, huh? That's the company Jose keeps. In fact, it's about the only company that can keep him, and as Sir Alex has himself confessed Mourinho could have 63 trophies by the time he reaches the age Ferguson is now, with 48. That's 15 more domestic cups, league titles, or international trophies than the man who was knighted for being a football badass. It's not just tactics, it's heart. It's determination. It's sheer force of will that makes his teams the best in the world.
And now you know why he's called the Special One.
P.S. Yeah, I know he was super arrogant in a press conference when he first came to Chelsea and that's where the nickname comes from, but boy has he made it stick. It's more of a title than a nickname now.

50 Simple Soups for the Slow Cooker
by Lynn Alley
Ahhh ... I love this stuff. This is not your ordinary chili but reflects the rich combinations of ingredients found in real Mexican cuisine. You might even think of it as a bean mole, since it combines many of the spices and ingredients, including both chile powder and cocoa powder, usually found in mole poblano. It's got guts and flavor, and I love it with or without the cornbread crust. It's best sprinkled with lots of cheese, sliced olives, scallions, and cilantro.
Serves 6 to 8
1 pound (2 cups) dried black beans
6 cups water
6 allspice berries
1 stick cinnamon
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon coriander seed
1/4 teaspoon aniseed
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1 to 2 tablespoons chile powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Cornbread crust
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream or nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Rinse the beans thoroughly and place them, along with the water, in a 7-quart slow cooker. In a spice mill or mortar and pestle, grind the allspice, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, and aniseed. Add the spices, along with the tomatoes, onion, garlic, bell peppers, oregano, chile powder, and cocoa powder to the beans. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, until the beans are tender. Turn the slow cooker up to HIGH.
To make the crust, in a food processor pulse the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly mixed. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk and pulse until the liquid ingredi- ents are thoroughly mixed in with the dry. Spread the cornbread mixture over the top of the chili, or drop large spoonfuls around the surface of the chili, and continue cooking on HIGH with the lid slightly ajar for 1 hour longer, or until a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out dean. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of scallions, olives, and cilantro.
A Word About Beans
Bean cooking times may vary, sometimes greatly, in accordance with the condition of the beans themselves. Beans that have recently been harvested are likely to be in good condition; beans that have been sitting on the shelf for a long time may take a very long time to cook. Try to purchase beans from a source with a rapid turnover rate, and check the package. If the beans look chipped or there are "crumbs" in the package, chances are the beans have been sitting around for a long time.

Yep, get's my vote too!
That is actually something that the community could really do with, we should think about having awards like 'member of the month' and 'Silverstripe Website of the month'. I think that would really encourage more participation.

Wow, guys. Thank you! What an uplifting way to start my day. I'm anxious to meet Sigurd in NYC next week to speak with him about DOM and other projects. So far the Silverstripe team has been pretty mum on this topic, so I'll be curious to see if he has any feedback.
First, some responses for you.
@martimiz - That is quite a bug. Do you think you could write a patch for it? I've also heard complaints that it rejects MySQL reserved key words such as "order" and "primary." If you can write some sanitization, I'll implement it as soon as I can.
@Shawn - ImageDataObjectManager was originally coded to only accept JPG because as I understood, the GD library could only manipulate JPG. In recent testing, I've noticed that it will accept GIF and PNG, so I'll add those in as accepted datatypes. I will not be adding non-image files to the mix because I really want to adhere to the image-browsing UI. As far as the SimpleHTMLEditorField, it uses an up-and-coming lightweight WYSIWYG tool called jWYSIWYG. It's good in some areas, but leaves a lot to be desired in others. I've written some pretty good docs in the Wiki if you have any questions about it. I have pretty high hopes that the product will mature and become more robust, but if it doesn't, I've considered just making SimpleHTMLEditorField use a bare-bones instance of TinyMCE instead.
New stuff on the way
File Upgrades -- Set FileDataObjectManager to "upgrade" audio and video files. An mp3 file will get upgrade to a custom MP3 class that can render a self-contained Flash player in its forTemplate() method. Likewise, FLV files will get upgraded to an custom FLV class that renders a self-contained FLV video player. Those of you with FFMPEG installed on your Linux servers may enjoy on-the-fly video conversion of just about any raw video format to FLV.
Still in the works, but the good news is it will be well-tested when it his the SVN channel because it's going into production for a client.

ImageDOM: that sounds perfect. In the case I ran into it was a PNG file. I think having this support only web capable image formats is a good idea. JPG, GIF, PNG is all I can think of right now, but if it supported all three that would be awesome.
I'll dig back into the docs on the html editor. I know I've had a few issues with the normal CMS editor also as far as copy/paste go, with it grabbing and using formatting from Word or other websites that sometimes cause CSS issues or other wackiness. I did run across another issue or two in a meeting I had with one of our departments. The image tool in the simple editor requires you to paste in a link to the image, which is very not sexy compared to everywhere else in the system. For now we are going to add a special image field into the mix for them, and it will probably work better in this instance. However I wanted to put the bug in your ear, so it could fester, in case it causes a brainstorm of a way to make it better for all. URL links are similar.
What would be awesome would be a way to bring the editing tools from the main CMS into the popup fields. I noticed that the silverstripe fields for popups don't have editing tools of any kind (or is my install wacky?), so having something is much better. But since there is a fairly rich and functional set of tools already available it would be cool to bring them into the pop-ups.
Oh, and I'm looking forward to the audio/flash upgrades. We just put up a section of a site full of FileDOM pages with audio files. That functionality would certainly spruce things up! I'll try to keep an eye on the SVN....

I don't know if anybody else already made a post like this, seeing the length of this topic but I was wondering - would it be difficult to create a simpler FormField based on the ImageDataObjectManager, that acts as a holder for just one image - like a replacement for the old ImageField? I guess I could use the manager for just one image, but that would be real confusing to clients. I tried using the SWFUploadFileIFrameField, but that seems still to be somewhat buggy, and the existing popup is far more beautiful
A simple group like a button that says add or edit and a thumbnail of the image if one is loaded. I guess it could be done by extending the ImageDataObjectManager and adding a simpler template, but that feels a bit like deflation, like it maybe should be the other way around?

Butternut Squash Cake
Yes, I made that butternut squash cake from another of Hugh F-W's recipe's. (Maybe he can start calling himself Hugh F-W? So much easier to say and type than Fearnley-Whittingstall...)
Anyway, yes, this cake was amazing. It is pretty much a carrot cake, but uses grated butternut squash. BUT - ontop of it there is a honey and orange drizzle which makes the top and ooey and gooey and the cake so moist. It is truly amazing. I think I shall be keeping this recipe but maybe trying it out with carrots, or parsnips or even beetroot again (as messy as it is..I do love making a mess though). It is really, really easy to make (once you've grated your veg) because the butter is melted so you don't have to use too much elbow grease mixing it all in!
180g wholemeal self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
90g golden caster sugar
90g light muscovado sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
Finely grated zest of 1 orange
180g butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 eggs, lightly beaten
300g butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and grated
70g walnuts, roughly chopped
45g sultanas
2 tbsp runny honey
5 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/ gas mark 4. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and orange zest. Beat in the butter and eggs until smooth. Fold in the squash, nuts and sultanas, pour into the tin and smooth with a spatula. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.
While the cake is cooking, heat the honey and citrus juices in a small pan, simmering for a few minutes until thickened slightly. Remove the tin from the oven and place on a wire rack. Pour over the honey and orange juice, and leave to cool completely.

Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins spent time talking to the media about what he likes about his team so far, and his response had hardly anything to do with Xs and Ox. The Griz are receiving kudos for their improved offense and aggressive defense.
Hollins is in love with the intangibles.
"I like the camaraderie and commitment these guys made to each other from Day 1," Hollins said. "They've taken ownership of the team."
Hollins pointed out that when that happens and you have talent, wins will follow. Also, the Griz are so dialed in on the court that they've routinely responded forcefully whenever opponents have made runs to seriously threaten.
"That's the growth in our team," Hollins said. "We've made strides. ...Last season, that (Clippers playoff) series showed us we have a lot of growth to make."
STATEMENT MADE: "I don't think about Hasheem. He'll probably go out and have a good game. But he's not in my thought process. I'm looking at (Kevin) Durant and (Russell) Westbrook. ...I'm happy Hasheem is still in the league. But I don't think about him." --- Hollins, speaking matter-of-factly when asked whether he thought the former No. 2 overall pick for the Griz is getting better.
Thabeet is playing for this third team (Houston, Portland, OKC) since the Griz traded him in a deal for Shane Battier.

Welcome to another World of Warcraft add-on spotlight! In this issue we are covering Nauticus, by Drool.
The Addon
Happy Winter Veil everyone! Did you had the chance to check this year's tree for your presents? If not, make haste to Ironforge or Ogrimmar!
In any case, this seams to be a perfect opportunity to present a traveling mod: Nauticus. This is quite an unique one. Why? Well, it does something quite unusual: it keeps track of all boats and zeppelin across Azeroth, in realtime.
Yes, transportation roots have progressively become less important with the introduction of flying mounts, but they can still come quite handy. Specially if you're starting a new character, you might find yourself using them a lot.
First, Nauticus displays the precise position of zeppelins and boats both on the Minimap and World Map. The developer even bothered to give each vehicle type it's own icon, so that you will never confuse a giant turtle with a steam boat.
Second, and most importantly, it calculates the transportation route schedules. This allows you to always know when your transportation is arriving and departing, which in turn means less time waiting on platforms, less chances to be ganked, and more time having fun.
Yet, there's a small catch: the first time you install the addon, you will likely not be able to see any route. This happens because Nauticus cannot guess where the transportations will be. Only after you make your first travel on any route, will the addon track it. Server restarts can possibly trick the addon as well - at least until you frequent the route again.
To compensate for this issue, Nauticus has one more built-in feature: it shares schedules between all players using addon on the same realm automatically. So, the more players using it, the more precise will it be.
We also had the opportunity to have a chat with the add-on's author, Drool:
Hi Drool, thank you for answering our questions!
Hi Jaliborc, genuinely surprised you consider Nauticus worthy of a spotlight on Curse!
To be completely honest, I don't have an active WoW subscription to do much with it nowadays. Although, with Christmas coming up, the intention was to play some Mists and check what needed updating with the addon. (Due to its nature, the route calibration part requires many many trips that I doubt a F2P account can muster.)
Happy to answer your questions anyway.
So, the serious business first: boats or zeppelins?
Zeppelins. My main is Horde and the air up there... is a better opportunity to gank from. And more scenic.
What motivated you to start Nauticus?
Original conception was an addon called ZeppelinMaster, written by Sammysnake. It only had time schedules, was slow and inaccurate. I took the code and completely rewrote it - fixing FPS rates, adding map icons (thanks to the fantastic Astrolabe library) and increasing accuracy.
Main motivation at the time - beside an opportunity to learn Lua - was in taking a great idea and implementing as best it could, given the limitations of the WoW API.
Approximately how long did it take to finish the first working version?
Starting with ZeppelinMaster's code, and not being prolific in Lua, it took months of gradual work to get to where it's at. But every line, rewritten - probably should have started from scratch but iterative development and fixing up code is fun.
In layman's terms, how does the add-on predict where boats will be, and when they will depart?
Using the WoW API, we only have the player's location to go on, which is tracked at all times by the addon. It already knows each route in detail - the X-Y coordinates, orientation, all measured from my own journeys. If the player 'triggers' some of these coords, we know the boat's probable stage of that route. They run like clockwork, so even when it's been around 100 times, we still have a good idea where it's at.
Can we ever expect to see another addon from you?
Probably not, not unless my WoW addiction is rekindled this holiday period.
Bummers… Besides your own creations, what are your favorite addons and why?
ItemRack, because I love me trinkets. Titan Panel, because it's been around a long time and reminds of the Atari ST. Stone Cutter, because back in the day, us locks tired of giving out healthstones. Addon Control Panel, because there's a great many other addons to try.
We come to the end of the interview. One last question: which is your favorite transportation route?
Thunder Bluff to Ogrimmar. Calm and scenic, uninterrupted by load screens.
Thank you to Drool for answering our questions and developing this add-on.

UVA basketball coach Tony Bennett said Thursday his starting point guard Jontel Evans is out of a walking boot, and Bennett says he is hopeful Evans will be able to play in Virginia's ACC opener Sunday against North Carolina.
The unranked Tar Heels have a record of 10-3.
UNC is coming off a 6-point win over 20th ranked UNLV, which is North Carolina's only win this season against a ranked opponent.
The Heels are led in scoring by sophomore James Michael McAdoo, who is averaging 15 points per game.
Carolina has a young team this season, but coach Bennett says they're getting better each game.
"Very talented, complete point guard," says Bennett. "Typical of most North Carolina teams, they have a lot of weapons. They can score inside, they can get up and down. They probably shoot it better this year, than they have in the past. They can really stretch the floor with their shooting, and the pace in which they play."
UVA and UNC tip-off Sunday at 8pm at John Paul Jones Arena.

DUO (WVVA)-- West Virginia State Police tell WVVA the wanted fugitive Richard Henry Ames III has been captured.
Authorities said they received a tip he was trying to hitch-hike and walking down Anjean Road past Rupert and toward the Duo area. He was very close to the mines there when he was captured.
"We set up a perimeter," said Sergeant W. A. Pendleton, "We walked the road to try to flush him up to where everybody was waiting. At that time myself and Blevins found him in the woods and took him without incident."
Police said Ames took back roads and went through the woods overnight, andthey suspect he spent the night in the woods while police searched. He was on the move again, spotted and soon captured further down Anjean Road.
"This put us on high alert," said Pendleton.
Ames is wanted in Virginia for an alleged Suntrust bank robbery.
As state police walked him into the Lewisburg detachment, Ames told WVVA, "I am innocent."
DUO (WVVA) -- Police tell WVVA News wanted fugitive Richard Ames has been captured in the Anjean Road area of Greenbrier County.
Police said Ames had been spotted earlier in the day at a mine site in the area.
WVVA.com will have more details on the capture as they become available.
DUO (WVVA)-- Police say the Virginia fugitive is still on the run in Greenbrier County.
Police say they last saw Richard Ames, 23, up Anjean Road past Rupert. They continue their search Thursday morning in the Duo area.
He is described as a 6'3" black male and is wanted for bank robbery in Roanoke, VA.
The Roanoke Police Department tells WVVA Richard Henry Ames III entered a Suntrust bank in Roanoke on Tuesday around noon. They say he showed the cashier a note, then took an undisclosed amount of money and left the bank on foot.
Witnesses did not report seeing him pull a weapon, according to Roanoke police.
Wednesday night, law enforcement got a call that the fugitive was hiding in the Marfrance area, and when they went to serve the warrant the suspect fled from the home.
According to the Greenbrier County Sheriff's Office, officers pursued him for thirty to forty minutes on-foot, but then had to return to the area for backup and for better radio communication.
The search was on Wednesday night down Anjean road. Police began stopping cars and to keep the suspect from leaving the area.
US Marshals, Greenbrier County Sheriff's office, West Virginia State Police, Fayette County Sheriff's Office, as well as city police from Rainelle, Lewisburg, and Quinwood were all called to the scene in Greenbrier County.
The West Virginia Department of Corrections also brought a dog for the search, the Greenbrier County Sheriff's Office said.
Thursday morning the search is still going on. Greenbrier County Sheriff Jim Childers said the Raleigh County Sheriff's office is bringing down a bloodhound to aid in the search, and his own officers are patrolling around Rupert Elementary and Greenbrier West "as precautionary measures."
Police caution Greenbrier County residents to lock their doors, remove keys from vehicles and stay vigilant.
If you have any information, they ask you to call 911 to report it, or also the Greenbrier County Sheriff's office and the West Virginia State Police.
MARFRANCE (WVVA) - Police are on the hunt for an armed fugitive in Greenbrier County.
Police tell WVVA News that the suspect was first believed to be hiding in Marfrance, near Quinwood, in Greenbrier County.
He's wanted for armed robbery in Virginia.
The man was last seen in the Rupert-Anjean area. He is believed to be armed.
The suspect is on foot.
Police say they cannot give a name or description of the fugitive. Police had set up roadblocks in the Rupert and Anjean areas to inspect all vehicles.
More details as they become available.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - There are dozens, if not hundreds, of great local photographers, but some relative newcomers are giving new meaning to the phrase flash mob.
Made in Tennessee met Martin and Ashley King, owners of It's Your Moment Now, recently in Market Square. As we walked around, they would stop people saying, "We are Knoxville's flash mob."
To clarify, this is not a flash mob of dancing people converging on one location. Instead, the Kings find people in their natural settings, unexpectedly approach them and ask to take pictures of them.
Those pictures are posted online to view and possibly purchase.
The afternoon we tagged along Martin and Ashley met the Spidergoat Family Band, a traveling group from California.
The band was happy to have their pictures taken, while filling Market Square with their music. The Kings captured some cute pictures of the youngest band member, playing a drum at age eight.
Martin says the flash mob approach often brings out the best in their subjects. "It catches people in a natural moment, in clothes they are comfortable in, in a setting they are comfortable in, instead of staging it the whole time."
The Kings have only been "flash-mobbing" people for about a month and half.
They say they've learned some valuable lessons along the way. "One time I walked up to a couple. He was out with someone he was not supposed to be out with, and he took off running," Martin said. :Things happen like that every now and then."
"We learned really quick that you should always ask people before your take their pictures, instead of the other way around," Ashley added.
So who makes the best subjects? The couple says kids are always a favorite, but they've captured people of all ages, in all kinds of settings.
"We've even gone to Cades Cove and done a lot of shoots there. People are outdoorsy and we want to take photos where they love."
They plan to make It's Your Moment Now their full time jobs. They're also opening a printing studio this fall where they'll offer wrapped canvases and life size wall prints.

Goodwill Industries of central Illinois is reaching out to homeless veterans.
Goodwill and 20 other local service agencies held their second annual Stand Down for homeless veterans Saturday at Peoria's O'Brien Field.
The event is designed to provide things like medical assistance, clothing and guidance in a number of areas to get these men back on their feet.
Charles Miner is a former homeless vet who received similar help.
"Its teaches you a lot about life skills," said Miner.
"It gives veterans a lot of hope, some that don't have any, and it also becomes a family to them. They help navigate you through the different agencies here in the Peoria area."
Goodwill Veterans Services Coordinator Vicki Hightower says much of the assistance is simply basic necessities.
"We're able to give them new winter coats, some long underwear, socks, t-shirts, all the essentials, some hygiene care packs, things like that. We also have businesses here giving free hair cuts and there are shower facilities."
Hightower says the goal is to provide assistance for as many as 100 homeless veterans.
A $200,000 grant from the Department of Labor helps to fund the event.

How Goldman Bet Against Mortgages and Got Government to Foot the Bill
Monday, February 08, 2010 at 3:36 pm
Gretchen Morgenson and Louise Story's New York Times piece yesterday was a thorough explanation of Goldman Sachs' machinations that contributed to the collapse of AIG and the government's perceived need to jump in and pay for everything without negotiating prices.
But unless you're well-versed in the modern minutiae of the financial market, it probably didn't help explain anything about why Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is facing an investigation into his role in the affair.To recap Morgenson and Story:
- The people at Goldman Sachs invested in mortgage-backed securities they expected to decline in value in order to make money off the insurance claims.
- Due to a long-standing relationship, they went to AIG for a kind of insurance — credit default swaps — which were not regulated.
- They then used other companies, including Société Générale, to purchase more of the unregulated insurance that AIG might not have otherwise underwritten in order to manage its own risk.
- When Goldman's investments declined, they submitted insurance claims for the losses, but insisted on determining the amount of their damages on their own, without any input from AIG, any auditor or the market.
- After Goldman got as much money out of AIG as they thought they could, their stock analysts issued a report about how AIG was bleeding cash and their creditors wouldn't negotiate, without mentioning that AIG was bleeding cash because of them and that Goldman was the creditor that wouldn't negotiate. AIG's stock tanked.
- The government stepped in, took an 80 percent share in AIG and then paid Goldman and the other creditors all the money they'd asked AIG for at the start of the negotiations in 2007, without using their power to force AIG's creditors to negotiate.
When the federal government, including then-Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson (who once served as chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs), directed AIG to pay Goldman exactly what it wanted, it overrode significant and long-standing misgivings by AIG's lawyers and accountants that Goldman's estimates of its losses were correct. Morgenson and Story note that the prices on the very securities for which Goldman demanded insurance payments have since rebounded — but under the terms of the deal struck by the federal government, Goldman doesn't have to pay a cent of its insurance settlement back to either AIG or the taxpayers. That's quite the sweetheart deal for Goldman Sachs, if not taxpayers.
Now-Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's role in the November payouts is under investigation; his spokesperson said last month that then-New York Fed Chair Geithner officially recused himself from participating in the AIG bailout after Nov. 24, 2008 — the date of his nomination to Treasury — and had begun to insulate himself from such decisions "weeks earlier in anticipation of his nomination." The Presidential election was held Nov. 4, 2008, and the plan to give Goldman everything it wanted was made official 6 days later, on Nov. 10. Either Geithner was insulating himself from his own job weeks before the election, or he was as involved in the negotiations as his detractors have charged.
Documents have recently emerged showing that the N.Y. Fed, starting as early as Geithner's Treasury nomination announcement, worked with AIG to prevent full disclosure of how the bailout money it received in November went straight to companies like Goldman Sachs, Société Générale and Deutsche Bank, among others. The order to AIG from the government not to negotiate with its creditors may have cost U.S. taxpayers $13 billion; it was only under pressure from the SEC that AIG made public in March 2009 (after Geithner's confirmation) the banks to which it had transferred its bailout funds.
As the N.Y. Fed staffers — who, despite his recusal, still worked for Geithner — were pressuring AIG to refrain from disclosing the government's demands on behalf of Goldman and the secondhand amount Goldman received from the bailout, Geithner was amending his tax returns and paying back taxes in order to survive his confirmation process. Revelations that he'd also used his position at the N.Y. Fed to preserve the financial interests of Goldman Sachs over taxpayers or the company in which the government had taken a majority stake might have scuttled his nomination entirely. These days, many Democrats seemingly think that perhaps it should have.

Thanks for this article. I read the NYT article a few times and still couldn't fully grasp what happened. A few questions though. Regarding bullet three, shouldn't AIG have had been keeping track of the credit default insurance it was issuing regardless of the party (GS, SG, etc.). For example, Allstate insures homeowners in a flood prone region, but after it reaches a certain threshold it begins to cut back to mitigate its risk. It shouldn't matter if the insurance is going to homeowner A or B at that point (unless for some reason the risk between A and B is different).
Second, why did AIG pay out and refuse to negotiate from the very beginning? Based on questionable valuation of the losses at issue, it seems like they had the grounds to dispute these claims.
Third, the NYT article left me confused about when/how the losses were triggered. Can you elaborate on this? Was GS valuing its holdings and seeking payouts based on these devaluations while at the same time keeping the holdings in case their positions improved? There wouldn't seem to be an actual loss under an insurance policy until the holdings are sold.

Sponsored by Good Neighbor Pharmacy, the event will be held on the UM Medical Center campus in the Pharmacy Building's Wells Auditorium. The session will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude with lunch at 1 p.m.
"We are so pleased to host our first Community Pharmacy Forum," said David D. Allen, the school's dean. "We have a lot of interesting and current topics to cover in our discussions and I look forward to participating. I am especially thankful for Good Neighbor Pharmacy's sponsorship to make this event a reality."
Mike Quick, national vice president for Good Neighbor Pharmacy Development, believes that it is imperative to get students interested in community pharmacy.
"One of the biggest problems for independent pharmacy is that our many of our current owners are getting to the age of retirement," Quick said. "We need to get our young pharmacists interested in community pharmacy."
Quick said that there are a few strategies to discuss on how to interest these young pharmacists.
"We'd like to look at having junior partners," he said. "In other words, when a pharmacist is getting ready to graduate, he would go to work at an independent store as a junior partner. When that owner is ready to retire, he would be in a great position to buy the pharmacy."
The morning's events will include roundtable discussions followed by a panel of educators, practitioners and a student pharmacist.
"My idea is that the goal of the forum is to create better communication between the School of Pharmacy and those who currently work in community pharmacy," said Cheryl Sudduth, a 1981 alumna and pharmacist at Funderburk's Pharmacy in Hernando. "I know that community pharmacy is facing lots of challenges as far as maintaining a vital niche in the marketplace, and being able to talk to people that are actually on the front lines will help the school better prepare the students."
The discussion topics range from innovations in community pharmacy to the role of the pharmacist in 10 years.
Chris McLaurin, a 1997 alumnus and pharmacy supervisor for Walgreens, will serve as one of the forum's panelists.
"Through this first-ever forum, I plan to share my visions of the future of our community profession as well as listen to the various ideas from the other panelists," McLaurin said. "By having an open panel discussion, we should be able to coalesce our ideas to formulate solid, actionable plans to drive toward goals that benefit the entire profession and not just one or two facets of it. I'm very excited at the possibilities."
Allen said he is also hopeful that the event will result in meaningful conversation about pharmacy today.
"Community pharmacy is the foundation of my career and an integral part of the profession of pharmacy," Allen said. "It is imperative that we take some time to sit down as a group to work together and formulate ideas."

The moniker says it all. Pete Carroll is a big-time gambler, a player; and we have been loving it all these years. The bravado and success have made him an American icon. Pete Carroll has set the bar at new heights with a run that is the envy virtually every other college football coach. However, gamblers don't "win forever," and this season PC and the USC Trojans lost, big time.
Paragon, DC Trojan and most commentators on the Conquest Chronicles have noted that we were expecting some losses in this rebuilding season. What no one expected was an absolute collapse in the two biggest games of the season and in one fairly easy one. These losses were extraordinary in that they succeeded in making Pete Carroll look foolish. Against Washington our ex-assistants took a bunch of scrubs, coached them up and schemed out a win against a team that looked dazed and confused. But, when it came to Oregon and Stanford the message was loud and clear; they are better than USC now and each coach sent his own particular message. Chip Kelly showed "mercy" by shutting down his offense in the 4th quarter, and embarrassment no doubt; but that wouldn't do for the loony Jimbo Harbaugh who decided to put himself in the record books. Revenge is a dish that is served cold, and when Jimbo got his chance he planted a cleat on those big balls and stomped as hard as he could. "What's your deal?" A scream heard around the entire country.
Llast Saturday Pete Carroll had a date with destiny. Looking at the wreckage can anyone of us say we're surprised? On September 11, 2009, Esquire Magazine published an article by Mike Sager in which he related his experiences with Big Balls Pete over a five-month period before the 2009 season. The article is edgy and now wholly complimentary, definitely a good read, and it made me wonder what the hell was going on down at Heritage Hall. Re-reading it this week sent a few small chills down my spine, because through the words of an impartial observer we could see this train was rolling towards the station. My Dad once said these words to me "son, you will fail if someday you start believing your own bullshit." Sager gives us a glimpse:
In the process of honing his craft and his philosophy, Carroll had begun to emerge as a regional pied piper, a man who, in his own words, has the "ability to convene people" in one of the world's most powerful cities. His Facebook page has maxed out his allotment of friends. Nearly fifty thousand souls follow his blog and his tweets on Twitter, which include inspirational messages ("Been thinking all morning about how you only got one life to live... so you better live it or it'll live you"), notes from the Lakers' victory party ("Watching Kobe and the mayor rock out to Lil Wayne - so insane!"), and songs of the day (everything from "Live Your Life," by T. I. and Rihanna, to "Add It Up," by the Violent Femmes).
A "regional pied piper" "honing his craft and his philosophy." Has Pete Carroll transcended football? His public persona would win him the Governorship of California if he wanted it, or he could be a best-selling author self-help books, or an inspirational leader of America's disenfranchised youth. These would certainly be laudable endeavors, but in reality a man can inhabit only one world at a time, and for now Pete Carroll seems to be levitating above the little world of college ball. Sager:
Imagine the historic Los Angeles Coliseum, filled to capacity with a USC football crowd of more than ninety-three thousand , a good many of them doing the cupped-hand thing, a celebration of Carroll's confident tenacity, his tendency to go for it... on fourth down, in noontime pickup basketball games, at a fantasy-football camp for grown men, in every single endeavor he undertakes, from his efforts with ghetto youth (A Better LA) to his partnership with the new owners of the L. A. Marathon to his recent enlistment, by the U. S. government, to help focus the training of small-group military units to the little competitions he is constantly playing against himself
During interviews this week, PC put on a good face saying the team was doing fine and that he didn't take Harbaugh's actions seriously. If he sincerely feels this way it would indicate that "win forever" was a metaphor that simple-minded fans thought would apply to actually winning football games. Perhaps winning forever is a state of mind in which you feel like a winner no matter what happens, as long as you're having as much firkin' fun as possible.
In some of his philosophical writings, which he shared with the understanding they would remain off the record, he mentions a wide range of influences, including psychologist Abraham Maslow (self-actualization), author Tim Gallwey (Inner Tennis), countercultural Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, Tibetan Buddhist monk and meditation master Chogyam Trungpa, and Zen master D. T. Suzuki.
Winning requires an organization, hard work, willingness learn new things and the ability to take accept advice and criticism. Your coworkers should always be your toughest critics. Have fun with your work and invite others to join in, but when fun and games come first you pay a price. Here's Sager describing what goes on in meetings.
His eldest, Brennan, thirty, is known as BC. He played tight end for Pitt. Now he's the tight-end coach and chief recruiter for the Trojans. At the conference table, BC is always the loudest and most boisterous. Because the Pittsburgh Penguins had just won the Stanley Cup, he had lately been shouting out "Pens!" at random moments, bringing to mind a Tourette's sufferer. He always sits to Carroll's immediate right; he stopped calling him Dad some years ago. They have the same blazing blue eyes and granite jaw; they speak to each other like two parts of the same brain.
"We both have ADD," Brennan says. "We're weird. It probably helps more than it hurts, being a little off the wall. In this profession there probably aren't a whole lot of people who would pattern their styles after the way he is, and now I'm the junior version of that."
Sorry Brennan, but being "off the wall" definitely hurts. BC is big and loud and sitting at the right hand of his Dad. Who will utter a discouraging word? The line is as clear as a yellow first down marker, who's going to cross it? That would be nobody.
Carroll entered from his office across the hall, McMuffin in hand. His mouth was full, he was chewing, he was wearing the silly/happy expression of a guy who's just come to work after his morning surf. "What's happenin' boys?"
"A little camp today!" hollered the defensive coordinator, Haruki Rocky Seto, "Rock" to his friends, a second-generation Japanese American named for the boxer Marciano. (His brothers are named after Sonny Jurgensen and Johnny Bench.) An undersized junior-college fullback who made the Trojans as a walk-on, Seto entered the coaching ranks as a video assistant, filming practices. When Carroll came to town for his first USC press conference nine years ago, Rocky was the kid who picked him up at the airport. Now he's in charge of Carroll's first love: defense.
They're a tight knit family and Pete is more than just a patriarch, he is their lord and master. This is PC's perfect staff, they owe him everything and they're loyal to the end. There is no dissention.
Carroll talks a lot about his coaches "growing up in the program." He likes grooming his own people instead of bringing in established stars. He is proud of the fact that former assistant coaches, like Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian, who recently departed for Pac-10 rival Washington, have gone on to head-coaching jobs themselves. "I want guys to come to the program knowing that I'll do everything in my power to get them the job of their dreams at some other place," he says.
Play your cards right and you too can move up. Do you wonder why Nick Holt would take the crappy job of running the UW defense? Or why every other standout coach has left? Pete's words:
"When I went to junior college, it started happening for me. And when I finally got to Pacific, my first year I made the all-conference team, I was captain, all that shit. It was like I had a chip on my shoulder. I had something to prove; I was gonna prove it to everybody. I've lived that way ever since."
After Pete's humbling experiences with the Patriots and Jets he came to USC and installed a dream team staff of coaches, with Norm Chow as first among equals running the offense and Ed Orgeron enforcing discipline on the defense and bringing in every recruit they wanted. But success came so quickly and easily that the light that suddenly shone so bright blinded Pete completely. "I had something to prove; I was gonna prove it to everybody." Apparently, Norm Chow, Ed Orgeron, Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian, Nick Holt, Mack Brown, Karl Dorrell, Mike Riley, Chip Kelly and Jim Harbaugh also had something to prove. Slick Rick and Mike Stoops are looking forward to their chance to do the same.

More than two million families could gain from childcare scheme
More than two million working families stand to gain through a major expansion of government support for childcare.
Under tax-free childcare plans, set out on the eve of the Budget, eligible families will receive up £1,200 a year for each child - to a maximum of 20% of their annual costs.
However the new scheme, which will replace the existing employer supported childcare programme (ESC), will not come into effect until late 2015 - after the next general election.
Read: Parents will have to wait for childcare support.
In order to qualify, both parents will have to be in work - or the one parent in the case of lone parent families - and each parent must be earning less than £150,000-a-year.Initially it will cover children up to five years old, but will build up "over time" to include children under 12.

By James Clark | email
LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The next skirmish between fired city employee Kevin Overstreet and City Hall will be a grievance hearing on January 21st.
Overstreet was fired in mid-November as the animal services director after a year-long fight with city officials. Overstreet tells NewsChannel 11 that, subject to approval by his attorneys, he plans to waive confidentiality and allow the news media to attend the hearing, which is estimated to last two days.
Overstreet claims he was demoted from Emergency Management Director to "Chief Dog Catcher" as retaliation because he requested a Texas Attorney General investigation of certain city officials.
Overstreet also called for the resignations of his then supervisors, Assistant City Manager Quincy White and City Manager Lee Ann Dumbauld.
