I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the audio quality of the basic vs the ungraded option. I would hope in a car of this quality that the audio would be comperable. I spend a fair amount of time driving and the audio quality is very important to me. I had a Hyundai Genesis with the Lexicon 17 speaker system that was phenomenal. Any audiophiles out there who can evaluate the quality of the 7.1 sound in the S compared to other high end systems found in Jags (B&W), Acuras (ELS) or Lexus (Mark Levinson)?
For those of you who are concerned with the bass response, in my non-scientific testing, the bass response is very dependent in the Model S on where your head position is. This is probably true for all cars as well, but I have't really critically listened to other car audio systems as much as I have my Model S. Try this experiment in your car:
Play a very bass heavy track through the audio system that you are familiar with. Adjust the bass EQ through the equalizer on the touchscreen to +12.0 dB. Set the master audio volume level in the car in the range of 5 to 7. Then slowly move your head towards the front of the car and towards the rear. See what happens to the apparent bass level when you do that. I find that the bass response just a few inches from the instrument cluster is quite good. Not teeth rattling, but much stronger than my normal seat position.
The sub-woofer may be placed in such a way in the car that the bass wave propagating from it creates a node (weak bass level) in the front drivers seat that just happens to be where a vast majority of people place their head (I'm 5' 10", average build, so I suspect my seat position is probably fairly typical). I haven't tried sitting in the front passenger seat or the rear seats to see how the bass response is yet. May try that at a future point.
I'm actually fine with the Sound Studio audio, as I get enjoyment out of listening to music through the system. I do hope there are tweaks to it in the future to improve it. I think some of the issues with it can get better through software, but the bass node issue will be challenging to overcome without re-positioning the sub-woofer and/or providing a beefier sub-woofer/amp if the sub-can't be re-positioned.
Would love to hear feedback from other owners if they experience this same effect in their cars.
When people say they perceive the music as weak or hollow, that means they are missing the low base that you get out of a big subwoofer. High and mid frequencies are easy to reproduce. It is the low base that has trouble because: big speakers are needed to move a lot of air (i.e. volume) at low frequencies, it draws a lot of power, and the wavelengths are long enough that your position can cause noticeable differences. It is a challenge.
No car has an ideal sound stage for all 4 seating positions. Sound volume decreases by inverse cube of the distance, so the one or two speakers really close to you are always noticeably louder. Adjust fade to improve the driver's perception and all the other positions get a lot worse.
I am not sure who sits in their parked car just to pretend they are in a concert hall, but that is the only time the audiophile details matter. A moving car has significant ambient noise, so the S/N is dominated by that. Lossless vs lossy compression in a car? Who cares, no one can tell the difference. Audio defects have to get pretty bad to be noticeable in a noisy environment.
I am not in a position to evaluate the Tesla system yet. Hope to soon. However, being an audiofpile I can attest to the fact that most people like too much mid bass. This often causes speech to sound bloated and many instruments to not sound real.
A truly good subwoofer that integrates well to the rest of the system is VERY hard to do. To me it is better to have a bit less bass than have it muddy up the mid range.
Additionally, don't expect truly highend sound in a car because our ears percieve sounds differently depending on how loud it is and the level and spectrum of backgroumd noise.
Also because a car cabin is an echo chamber from hell. It produces nodes and dead spots that change when a passenger moves a few inches.
My gripe isn't about the quality of the sound but the sensitivity of the radio reception. Both am and fm have significant signal weakness compared to my other cars. What's worse, as the signal ebbs and flows, there's and odd eq shift going on. On fm, as the signal weakens, you lose much of the "definition" of the sound... Kinda like listening to a telephone vs a live conversation. As you regain signal strength, the sound returns to normal. This is very annoying! Occasionally, I also hear an echo of the signal as well. Unless you have a full strength signal, it's an unpleasant listening experience.
Ps... I still love this car! Just have to get USB sound source files.
I need to finalize soon and the audio upgrade is my only question mark. I can put a pretty sweet aftermarket system in for $1k (already have the sub for the frunk). SiriusXM adapter, 600W 4 channel amp, front and rear door speakers, 600W mono amp, 1F capacitor and the sub.
My concerns are about how the higher powered system will impact my range and the 12V battery. Also, it would drive me nuts if the SiriusXM adapter couldn't be integrated into the factory display. The biggest problem I have is the thought of an installer disassembling my car, one that he has surely never seen before and probably with very little literature online to help.
I think I just talked myself into the sound studio option. Maybe add the extra sub later with its own amp.
My home stereo is 1200W Pioneer Elite amp and Klipsch Reference Series speakers, which are the best thing I've ever heard. My wife's Lexus is terrible, but mostly on XM, it's much better on bluetooth. My G37 also is quieter and not as good of quality on XM compared to all other sources (ok, maybe better than AM).
@fluxemag | JANUARY 24, 2013: Also, it would drive me nuts if the SiriusXM adapter couldn't be integrated into the factory display.
You're not missing much from the XM integration in the car as it currently stands. You have your basic channel selection like an AM/FM radio by scrolling through channel numbers (not channel names) You can browse by categories. You are limited to 6 favorites (which you can't select from the steering wheel). There are no station logos displayed and no automatic cover art (like they do for Slacker).
They may be adding additional features in the future, however. Still it's nice, I guess, to have it integrated with one less external device to deal with.
Perhaps Tesla should partner with someone like Jawbone to develop an unparalled audio system. One does not want something that draws too much power.
I heard one of Jawbone's products recently and could not believe the sound quality. I have never heard anything like the big JAMBOX, and it runs wirelessly for about 8hrs. I do not own it, but it is on my shortlist of useful gadgets to consider.
You might do a search of these forums regarding after-market audio. I know that the idea was being entertained a few months ago by some early owners but there were concerns about integration with Tesla's electrical system. I am not sure how that all played out.
You can search these forums for those discussions by going to Volkerize.com.
I may have seen these discussions at TeslaMotorsClub.com instead, so try there too.
How could they not get the sound package right!
Creating a system, for any vehicle is a possible task.
From most of the posts it seems like TM needs to get on this.
I tried playing .flac and it wouldn't...
What software version are you on ?
I tried it before the upgrade to 4.1, haven't tried it since.
My whole collection is in both .flac and apple lossless (so I could use iTunes playlists on ipad/iphone).
If Tesla can play it now, that's awesome news.
I only had v4.1 (and as of last night 4.2), and lossless .flac has worked great. I have 2000+ .flac songs on my 64GB USB stick and so far it's been working fine. Perhaps 4.0 didn't support .flac? I used MediaMonkey to rip CDs into .flac to try and get the cleanest sound. The Tesla examines and sorts through all the files and gives you lists by album, by genre, and a few others? No option to read playlists yet and no random play, but I'm sure it will come.
Mark2131 - I haven't used FM much, but it seemed to work ok for me. The weird sound changes you hear are likely switching from stereo to mono when the signal is weak - something most radios do. It may add some filters too when going to mono, as weak signals can be noisy too (but better than no signal).
Anyone know if jpeg4 and flac formats are supported at higher sample rates than 44.1 and 16 bit red book standard? Hope so.
@ Frank2
Have you tried lossless FLAC music with DTS 5.1 discrete channels?
Captain_Zap - for DTS 5.1, I've not tried it. I have basic audio, so I believe it is not supported on my car (and I don't have anything in 5.1). Not sure about Sound Studio.
If your ultimate source is a CD, it won't help to have better than 44.1 and 16 bits because that's all CD's have AFAIK. I tried a FLAC file ripped from a CD today and copied to a flash drive - and it sounded great!
I asked TM a few quick questions, they emailed back very quick.
I got your question about the Sound Studio Package and wanted to get back to you. It does include a subwoofer that would not be there otherwise that helps round out the sound system. The subwoofer is located on the passenger side in the back of the car. I do not have access to whether it is on a dedicated amp or not though.
Perfect, tried it with .flacs, works like a charm with 4.1.
Disabled Dolby, sounds better w/o it.

Scottsdale students are practicing their Spanish skills with teens in other countries — without even leaving their classroom.
Mary Walther, a Spanish teacher at Desert Mountain High School, is piloting a program that uses technology to "make language more real" for her students who learn from textbooks, but lack the reallife applications they need to become more fluent.
Using a laptop in the center of the classroom on Friday, students took turns using an Internet messenger service to chat with Walther's niece in Costa Rica, Ana Maria Jaén, 18.
They discussed food, movies, dating, families and weather.
The class of roughly 30 teens remained engaged in the conversation, which was projected on a large screen in the front of the classroom.
The Scottsdale Unified School District is increasingly encouraging the use of technology in classrooms, as officials plan to ask voters to approve an $89 million budget override in November that would outfit all schools with "technology enabled classrooms."
These rooms could have wireless Internet access, DVD players, ceiling projectors, high-tech computer tablets for each teacher and other devices.
The tech upgrades would benefit such foreign-language courses, which have traditionally not used technology as much as other subjects, said Ernest Nicely, the district's executive director of information systems and technology.
This year, Walther's class has used the messenger service every few weeks, also speaking with teens in Mexico and Spain.
As students take turns typing and asking questions online, Walther helps them with the language.
"Ask her if she has a boyfriend," suggested one student on Friday.
But the class had difficulty understanding the reply until Walther explained that "ya no" means "not anymore."
When students wanted to know what type of coffee Jaén drank, Walther explained that Costa Ricans use the word "tomar" to say drink — not "beber" as they had learned in their textbooks.
Throughout the class, she helped the students to conjugate their verbs properly.
Perhaps most helpful was that by actually typing to a native Spanish-speaker, the students learned slang worlds and colloquialisms — things they don't often get from textbooks, Walther said.
"You're seeing a lot of expressions," she told her students. "That's why I wanted you to do this, because you're seeing things that are said, versus written."
Even though senior Carly Goldberg, 17, earns As in Spanish, she said it's still very difficult to hold a conversation in Spanish — something she believes chatting online could make easier.
"We use a lot of technology in here," she said. "We even watched music videos on the Internet and part of the Latin Grammys."

Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) smason posted on November 12, 2013 09:49 The University of Mobile will bring American hero Lt. Col. Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) to Mobile for the 9th annual University of Mobile Leadership Banquet on March 27, 2014. Sponsorships are available and tickets are on sale now at www.umobile.edu/banquet2014, or call the university at 251.442.2598. The gala event will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Arthur R. Outlaw Convention Center in downtown Mobile. Oliver North is a combat-decorated U.S. Marine, a No. 1 best-selling author, founder of a small business, an inventor with three U.S. patents, a syndicated columnist, and the host of "War Stories" on Fox News Channel. Born in San Antonio, Texas, North graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and served 22 years as a Marine officer. His awards for service in combat include the Silver Star, the Bronze Star for valor and two Purple Hearts for wounds in action. He has authored 13 books, all of them New York Times best sellers. His latest book is "American Heroes on the Homefront," and North will autograph copies of his book following the banquet. The annual University of Mobile Leadership Banquet raises financial support for the UMobile Fund. North's appearance marks the ninth Leadership Banquet which brings a speaker of national prominence to the Mobile area who uses his or her influence to open doors of opportunity for the next generation of leaders. Previous speakers have included former President George W. Bush, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich, former Georgia Gov. and retired U.S. Sen. Zell Miller, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Sponsorships and premium tickets are available and range in price, including various benefits such as a private reception and photo opportunity with North. See www.umobile.edu/banquet2014 for all the options. Assigned to the National Security Council staff in the Reagan administration, Lt. Col. North was the United States government's counter-terrorism coordinator from 1983-1986. He was involved in planning the rescue of 804 medical students on the island of Grenada and played a major role in the daring capture of the terrorists who hijacked the cruise ship Achille Lauro. After helping plan the U.S. raid on Muammar Qaddafi's terror bases in Libya, North was targeted for assassination by Abu Nidal, the infamous terrorist killed in Baghdad in August 2002. President Ronald Reagan described North as "an American hero." Since 2001, he has been the host of "War Stories" – the award-winning military documentary series on Fox News Channel -- and has been embedded with more than 55 U.S. and allied combat units. North serves on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association and is the founder of Freedom Alliance, a foundation providing college scholarships to the sons and daughters of U.S. military personnel killed in the line of duty. He claims his most important accomplishment is being "the husband of one, the father of four and the grandfather of 14."

All visitors to Brooks Camp are required to attend the Brooks Camp School of Bear Etiquette offered at the Visitor Center. This fifteen to twenty minute orientation provides visitors with basic information to help keep themselves safe and bears out of trouble. Books, cards, posters, and videos are just some of the items available at the Alaska Natural History Association (ANHA) Bookstore. Backcountry Planners and bear resistant food canisters (no charge) are also available for those challenging Katmai's trackless backcountry.
Our Tips When Entering Bear Country will provide additional information about things to know when in areas where bear encounters are possible.
Programs & Activities:
A variety of interpretive programs are available at Brooks Camp throughout the summer. Each evening, in the Auditorium located near the Visitor Center, one of a variety of 45 minute to 1 hour long slide enhanced programs is presented by Park staff. Each afternoon, starting across from the Visitor Center, Park staff take visitors on an hour long, 1/2 mile round trip cultural walk to a recently excavated and recreated archeological site. Each day Park staff also join Brooks Lodge staff to offer an all day guided bus tour to the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. Reservations for the bus tour must be made in advance at Brooks Lodge. Other special Park staff guided hikes, nature walks, programs, and activities occur on an unscheduled basis throughout the season. Check at the Brooks Camp Visitor Center for dates and times.
Katmai has over 4 million acres of wilderness in which to hike, but only two maintained hiking trails. Dumpling Mountain trail starts at the Brooks Camp Campground and climbs 1 1/2 miles to an overlook, then continues another 2 1/2 miles to the summit. The 1 1/2 mile Ukak Falls Trail begins at Three Forks Visitor Contact Station and drops 700 feet down to the edge of the Valley of 10,000 Smokes. Hikers then can go to Ukak Falls and/or the Three Forks Convergence Overlook. The Trail is fairly steep and strenuous.

JAMES CITY COUNTY-A woman was robbed at gunpoint in her home, James City County authorities say.
It happened around 9:00 p.m. Friday, August 16, on Harpoon Court in the Grove community.
According to Major Steve Rubino, the 29-year-old answered a knock at her door but no one was there. She was headed to her car when two men forced her back into the house, hit her in the face with the gun and robbed her of $50.00 cash.
She wasn't able to describe the men, so police hope someone knows who was involved. Anyone with information can call Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

In response to debrit's comment:
In response to wfdog's comment:
In response to BirdLewsBias's comment:
Well our one saving grace may be that Ainge drafts pretty good...with the exception of Giddens.
My grades for Ainge
Coach hiring - A
Free Agents - B
Trades - D
Drafting - A
Contract Extensions - B
Salary Cap Managment - B
Overall Score = 24
Avg Grade = B
If we are fair that's probably about right. I'd like to see what some of your grades are for him...this should be funny.
Danny and the Demise of the Celts:
- Traded Perk and didn't get Harden
- Took poor chances on older bigs like Shaq, JO, and Sheed which didn't pan out
- Through in Semih on a trade just to create a roster spot
- Let Krstic and Darko walk
- Balked at trading RA but told him, so he left
- Never signed a pure back-up PG
- Gave KG a no trade clause
- Didn't take Nets offer of Brooks, Humphries, & 1st rd choice for PP at the deadline
- Didn't force KG's hand on the possible deadline deal with the Clipps for Jordan, Bledsoe, & 1st rd choice
- Didn't take 10 day contract fliers on Birdman & KMart
- Lost Doc to Clipps
- Lost opportunity of KG going to Clipps for 1sr rd choice when NBA had to step in
Now the roster has many multi-year contracts, we have no coach, no top 10 draft choices, and DA is getting offered 50 cents on the dollar for PP & KG!
Ainge doesn't draft "good" in first rounds. He's better in the second, but he still earns a C- in that category. He can't hold onto his own FAs through indifference: F. Can't build in a methodical strategic way - no patience or vision: F. Only signs castoffs and washed-ups: F. Hiring a coach? A, but ... Has offended his best player by talking about trading everyone. Management: F. And on and on. Time for a change; a change to someone who possesses everything Danny Boy doesn't. In total, it's called "competence".

What a darling small kitchen I think. Shiny square Hermes orange ceramic wall tiles, black cabinetry with gold pulls and knobs. Love the white farmhouse sink and gold faucet. It all works.
Using orange tiles on the walls all the way to the ceiling and as a backsplash sounds like bold and risky combination in a kitchen but actually comes of quite well.
Love the architecture of the whole space with the high pitched ceilings, oval skylight and french doors. A very bright and cheerful way to start off the week.
What do you think of these of orange tiles in the space? Is this a design "risk" you would ever take? Please let me know in the comments below!
Happy Monday!

I love each of the elements separately. I think it looks fine all together, but I feel the look will look dated very quickly.ReplyDelete

I keep looking at it and have decided it either needs more orange tile or less of them. The balance is wrong for me. It's gutsy and attractive in so many ways.ReplyDelete
It certainly gets your attention. I'm not sure I would want this in my home - I tend to lean toward safe rather than bold and daring.ReplyDeleteReplies
I tend to agree with the other responses. The bright white seems a bit distracting with the orange and black. It is cute though, and certainly captures your attention.Delete
I also agree with the other responses...already dated in my mind!ReplyDelete
I think it looks beautiful, but I would never attempt it only because I would hate it in no time. I also think they should have done the tile only on the back wall and skipped it on the side wall just looks funny there to me.ReplyDelete

Tim Regan-Porter
Vice President | Paste
Paste, the six-year-old Decatur, Georgia-based music and entertainment magazine, has developed a knack for innovation.
First there was the pay-what-you-want subscription offer modeled after the rock band Radiohead, which allowed fans to decide how much to pay for an album download. Over 31,000 paid on average $4.00 for a year-long magazine subscription. "It was a huge success," says Paste vice president Tim Regan-Porter. "These were paying subscribers, who paid up front. To get a response rate like that, we would've had to send two or three million pieces of direct mail."
Then there were the ads in the footers of editorial pages, alongside page numbers. Then the Paste Digital VIP, which allowed users to access premium online content—MP3s, DVD samplers, digital editions—for a nominal monthly fee. An online ad network, leveraging 14 "taste making" sites covering music, film and culture (combined traffic: 4.3 million monthly visitors and 28 million page views).
Then there was Obamicon.me, where users could create their own versions of the iconic, Shepard Fairey-designed Barack Obama "Hope" poster, and an online store to print these onto t-shirts and coffee mugs.
In less than a week, more than 40,000 Obamicons were created, and the site generated 1.5 million page views—about 300,000 more than what Paste's Web site averages a month, or 1.2 million. "It was officially bigger than our magazine site," says Paste editor Josh Jackson.
Together, these mini-experiments are more than just stunts with 15-minute shelf lives. They're part of Paste's D.N.A., generating buzz and traffic for a small, 180,000-circ magazine in a tough independent music market.
"Our goal here is not to depress the value of the magazine," says Regan-Porter. "Magazines in general are not valuing print as much as they should." He adds: "But we know that you can't survive if all you do is print, it's not even fully serving readers if you just focus on print."
VITAL STATS: Within a week of launching Obamicon.me, the site generated 1.5 million page views, more than Paste's Web site averages in a month.

Raindrop is a project of Mozilla Labs, which aims to create a unified messaging application and a social networks aggregator. It's in an early development stage, but still promising.
While I do see a current need for aggregation of centralized social network sites, I'm convinced distributed social networking will succeed at last. Raindrop might however be able to support this issue by offering a unified personal interface for social networking.
Since Ubuntu Karmic already comes with Pyhton and CouchDB, installing Raindrop is quite straightforward:
cd ~# Install all dependencies and toolssudo apt-get install mercurial python-setuptools python-twisted # Checkout the raindrop sourcehg clone -r 0.1 http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/raindrop# Get paisley (which isn't packaged yetwget http://launchpad.net/paisley/0.1/0.1/+download/paisley-0.1.tar.gz# Install paisleytar -zxvf paisley-0.1.tar.gzcd paisley-0.1sudo ./setup.py installcd ~# Check if all dependencies are satisfied./raindrop/server/python/check-raindrop.py
Raindrop does not yet offer a graphical configuration utility, so you will need a text editor.
gedit ~/.raindrop
Here's an example configuration file:
After you created a configuration, you might want to tell Raindrop to fetch your messages:
cd ~/raindrop/server/python./run-raindrop.py sync-messages --max-age=5days
After the script finishes, you're able to have a look at your inbox:
A word of warning: Raindrop does currently not support desktop-couch. This means, every user on your PC is able to access your inbox via the given URL. So if you're running a multiuser system, be warned.
Google recently started an initiative to push site performance.
Reading the question "How fast is your site", I was wondering when the engineers last visited YouTube. Besides still relying on Flash as a content delivery technology, YouTube is a JavaScript and iFrame mess. Everytime I visit, I subconsciously expect the marquee-tag rising from the grave.
Today, Google introduces the Feather Beta, a streamlined theme, which still uses too much JavaScript, but at least removes the iFrames. Give it a try!
Intelligence Squared is Britain's premier debating forum, providing a unique platform for the world's leading figures in politics, journalism, and the media to contest the most important issues of the day, be they political, social, intellectual or historical.
I really like how Intelligence² offers all it's debates as video on demand for free. It's a bit like TED, but does not limit its topic selection to inventions and ideas.
Don't miss these talks:
I do have about 20 "nominations" for Google Wave left.
If you're interested in getting nominated, just drop me an e-mail.
Please notice Googles disclaimer:

White Sox Trade For Greg Golson
Finally, after sitting on his hands for the last couple of months, Kenny Williams pulled the trigger on a big deal sure to shake the very foundation of the White Sox organization, and maybe all of Major League Baseball.
The Sox traded for outfielder Greg Golson, getting him from the Kansas City Royals for cash considerations.
I don't know about you, but I'm printing up some World Series Champions t-shirts to sell.
Seriously, I don't expect this move to have any real impact on the White Sox roster. Golson will likely be nothing more than organizational depth to help fill the hole left behind by Brandon Short's injury. That being said, this is the White Sox, and they are still run by Kenny Williams.
So an incredibly fast outfielder who doesn't make a lot of contact, and doesn't walk a lot could find himself on the fast track to Chicago.
The 26-year old Golson is a former 1st round pick of the Phillies, and in the 42 plate appearances he's had over the last four years with the Phillies, Rangers and Yankees, Golson has a line of .195/.214/.244.
So, yeah. Get excited.

How did life storm the beaches and dominate planet Earth? Ancient Australian fossils offer clues. While the oceans were teeming, the world above the waves remained an almost lifeless wasteland — until the Silurian period, when the conquest of the land began.Host Richard Smith introduces Earth's forgotten pioneers: the scuttling arthropod armies that invaded the shores and the waves of green revolutionaries whose battle for the light pushed plant life across the face of a barren continent. Join NOVA's prehistoric adventure as four-legged animals walk onto dry land, with the planet poised for disaster.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Beautiful card for my sister-in-law's bridal shower. Changed the background color to navy and the rest of the colors really pop. Super cute! Everyone loved it!"
"A friend recommended your website for my sister's bridal shower invites. I loved how many styles there weeee to choose from and they turned out perfect! I realized that I forgot to add a detail on the invite just after I submitted my order and had no problems calling customer service and having the text added. The envelopes were large enough to easily fit recipe cards and directions to the location. Everything turned out perfect!! I will absolutely use this company again and again!!"
"These invitations are perfect! I got the pearl finish on the paper and it really gives it a very expensive look. I added a photo on the back and the quality and color of the image is spot on. The ordering process was easy, cost was fair and delivery was quick. I can't wait for everyone to see them! Great job Wedding Paper Divas!!!"
"I love this invitation! The only change would be to make the text one size bigger. It's hard to see where the couple is registered."
"This is such a cute and fun invitation! I ordered this for my sisters shower and they were able to customize it exactly how I wanted it! They added details and were very quick to make changes as I asked!! The invitations arrived 3 days after I finalized my order- way ahead of the estimated arrival. WPD has great customer service and quality and I would definitely use this site again in the future. :)"

Senate Floor Speech on Flaws in House so-called "Jobs Bill"
Wednesday, March 21, 2012
The House bill before us, given the false label of a jobs bill, cries out for debate and amendment. Yet we are poised to end debate, and foreclose nearly any amendment, in an act of haste that would abdicate the Senate's important role.
If we continue down this track, we will approve legislation that endangers America's senior citizens, its small investors, and its large pension funds and foundations. In doing so, we would, far from encouraging job growth, endanger job growth, by endangering the investments that help America's businesses grow and create new jobs. The jobs bill before us, as it now stands, is anything but a jobs bill. And if we invoke cloture, we will end debate and the opportunity to remedy this bill's flaws. The Senate should not take that step.
Its flaws are deeply worrisome. It threatens to dampen investment, and therefor dampen job growth, in at least six ways.
First, investors are now protected by federal securities laws that generally prevent companies from making largely unregulated stock offerings to the public. By limiting such unregulated stock offerings to investors who can better withstand the substantial risk of these investments, we discourage fraud while allowing companies to access capital. But the House bill does away with these restrictions. Under the House bill, companies could advertise these virtually unregulated stock offerings on roadside billboards or on late-night TV. They could market them with cold calls to senior centers. This would expose Americans with few protections against fraud and little ability to analyze complex, risky investments to devastating losses.
It gets worse. The House bill changes when a company is large enough to warrant SEC disclosure and transparency requirements from one with fewer than 500 shareholders to one with 2,000 or more shareholders, and perhaps many more. In fact, the House bill maintains a loophole that allows shareholders of record, on paper, to hold shares for potentially hundreds of real owners as a way of evading this shareholder limit. And the House bill allows banks of any size to avoid SEC regulation if they have fewer than 1,200 shareholders. This provision would allow even large companies, with thousands of shareholders, to avoid SEC regulation. They would be exempt from filing regular financial reports and other measures that give investors the confidence they need to invest their hard-earned dollars.
Taken together, these first two flaws would allow even large companies to make largely unregulated stock offerings to potentially unwary investors, and to evade even the most basic requirements to accurately inform shareholders of their financial condition. Combined, these provisions are a recipe for fraud, abuse, financial crisis and reduced investment to grow our economy.
The House bill has other deep flaws. It erases barriers, erected after the dotcom bubble of the 1990s, that prevent conflicts of interest in which investment banks could promote the stock offerings that they underwrite by having their research analysts provide pumped-up assessments of the stock.
The House bill would allow companies with annual sales of up to $1 billion to evade the most basic transparency, accountability and disclosure requirements when making initial public offerings. This provision would mean that nearly 90 percent of all IPOs would be exempt from providing basic protections that help investors commit their money with confidence.
Now, it has been said by supporters of this bill that we should approve this bill because the president supports it. I would remind my colleagues of two things. First, the president's support would not dissolve our own responsibility. We are in danger of rubber-stamping a bill simply because someone slapped a clever acronym with the word "jobs" on it. If this bill threatens, rather than encourages, investment and job creation, we should repair its flaws. That is our responsibility. Madison told us two centuries ago: "A senate, as a second branch of the legislative assembly, distinct from, and dividing the power with a first, must be in all cases a salutary check on the government." We should be that check today.
Second, those who point to the president's support fail to mention another aspect of his position: support for commonsense fixes that protect the integrity of our markets. The White House said this week: "The president strongly supports the efforts of Senate Democrats to find common ground by supporting the most effective aspects of the House bill to increase capital formation for growing businesses, while also improving the House bill to ensure there are sufficient safeguards to prevent abuse and protect investors." The president supports this bill, yes – but he also supports improving it. And we should do so.
This is not a bill to promote investment in our economy. It's a bill to discourage investment. As SEC Chairman Schapiro wrote: "If the balance is tipped to the point where investors are not confident that there are appropriate protections, investors will lose confidence in our markets, and capital formation will ultimately be made more difficult and expensive."
This is not a bill to create jobs, it is one that will endanger jobs. As the Council of Institutional Investors warns us, "this legislation will likely create more risks to investors than jobs."
This is not a bill to allow new opportunities for American workers, but one that will create new opportunities for fraudsters and boiler-room crooks.
Unless we protect investors, they will not invest in our economy. We can only add those protections of we slow this rush, debate this bill, and amend it. If we invoke cloture now, we end debate rather than beginning it. If we invoke cloture, we foreclose amendment rather than allowing it. That would be a grave mistake one that puts American investors, American workers and the stability of our economy at risk, and I urge my colleagues not to walk that path.
