What is the future of trade policy and the growing role of emerging economies in the trade arena? That was the question a selected panel of experts and commentators discussed at the Program of Seminars of the World Bank-IMF's Annual Meetings in late September.
Moderated by Zanny Minton Beddoes, economics editor for The Economist, the panel included a former minister of foreign affairs and ambassador to the United Nations and World Trade Organization, Brazil's Celso Lafer, a former prime minister and director-general of the WTO, New Zealand's Mike Moore, and a former president, Mexico's Ernesto Zedillo, as well as distinguished commentators -- the Peterson Institute's Arvind Subramanian and Martin Wolf of the Financial Times.
Minton Beddoes set the tone, describing the paradox facing the world today: "On the one hand, the multilateral ... Doha round, to put it politely, has failed to deliver. ... On the other hand, there's an enormous amount going on in global trade, both in global trade practice and global trade policy, and it's being largely driven by the South."
In the seminar "The Future of Trade Policy: A Growing Role for the South," panelists' predictions of the future focused on emerging powers, but especially on the rise of China. "It's clear that the ... challenge of incorporating what will be the biggest economy in the world – which is currently run, in certain very important respects, fundamentally differently from those of other countries, and whose impact, if it continues to grow like this – will be ... enormous," Wolf said
Subramanian took a jab at the idea of "BRICs" – an acronymic reference to the economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China popularized in 2001 by Goldman Sachs CEO Jim O'Neill – calling it "nonsense."
"They have no commonality of interest," Subramanian said. "There is China, and there are the others, and we have to recognize that reality."
Several panelists delineated a bright line between "20th century issues" like agriculture and "21st century issues" like intellectual property, but Zedillo, currently director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, described agriculture as a future concern, with the rising middle classes of emerging nations likely to generate unprecedented demand for quality food.
"The rich countries ... accuse the developing countries of demanding special and deferential treatment" over agricultural issues, Zedillo said. "Well, you know what? [Rich nations] invented the special and deferential treatment. ... And we will not be able to feed the millions and millions of people that will be living in the next years if we don't get serious about agriculture."
Agriculture has been a major sticking point during the stalled "Doha Round" of global trade talks, which no discussion of the future of trade policy can possibly ignore, so naturally discussion of Doha took up most of the panel's time.
The panelists agreed that a multilateral approach to trade is absolutely essential, and that the post-World War II period has experienced a heretofore unseen run of wealth creation in the world.
"How is it that ... trade has been so successful?" asked Lafer rhetorically. "It has been a result of the multilateral trading system – of the rules of the multilateral trading system. And why is it so effective? Because it is based on rules, it is comprehensive, it is transparent ... and [it] has created predictability and security."
"As an institutional mechanism, the WTO is also working remarkably well," Wolf said. "It defuses bilateral tensions massively if you handle them in the global, multilateral context, both institutionally and intellectually."
However, the panelists also agreed that the global agenda needs to be updated, and most of their debate focused on whether the Doha round per se should continue or be taken up again in a new set of negotiations.
Moore, now Wellington's ambassador to the United States, delivered an impassioned plea to stick with the current talks: "It'd be a great folly to declare the Doha Round dead. ... Even launching this new round was a huge sacrifice by many developing countries."
Taking a different view, Wolf said it is "a pity ... but not a tragedy" that Doha would not be completed "in its present guise."
"I don't care whether you call it the Doha round or not, but we have to make it relevant to the world as it is now," Wolf said.
Subramanian expressed skepticism that the "single undertaking" approach to Doha and other negotiations – in which the entire agreement is considered for approval by all members, with no provisions considered separately – could settle the most contentious issues, calling it "a recipe for paralysis."
"We can declare a moratorium on Doha ... [but] I don't think there is any single topic that is in the Doha agenda that doesn't need to be undertaken seriously by the multilateral system," Zedillo said.
The worldwide apprehension over sovereign debt troubles in the Eurozone was also reflected by the panel, several of whom allowed a whiff of apocalypse into their comments as they made clear the connections between trade and peace.
"A hundred years ago, geopolitics destroyed globalization," Zedillo said. "Now, I think, economic incompetence can destroy geopolitics, and put at risk international peace and security."
"If we now see other great powers – China, India, and so on – trying to create ... penumbrae of bilateral concessions in their favor with weaker trading partners, we're in the world of trade empires," Wolf said. "And the world of trade empires is radically unstable."
"The major rising powers do understand that this system is important to them, and therefore the agenda that is going to work has to be an agenda they own," Wolf said.

A weekend of—Wow!
Posted on February 4, 2014
Guest Post Part II By: Composer Adrienne Elisha
The last two days have been much more than performances with the Rochester City Ballet's January weekend: Ballet RCB Style.They have been "Happenings". Despite the treacherous and glassy ice covered roads, there was a huge and appreciative audience. We were all blown away– not by the weather though— but by the breathtaking show. Each work was superb –from the amazing dancing, the remarkable performance of guest soloist, James VanDemark and Jamey's stunning choreagraphy, to the lighting, sound and costumes. It's very easy to see that this operation is a major artistic force on the rise.
This is a ground breaking, mesmerizing work in every way with cutting edge choreography and music.
One audience member remarked " Seeing and hearing this work was so exciting and powerful... I couldn't breathe or move until it was over!"
The music for this event is incorrectly catagorized by ZEvents --This production consisted of Modern Ballet and the music is defined as "classical"/ modern/new music for solo bass, with bass soloist, James VanDemark performing.

Unemployment Rate Falls to 7.0%, Higher Interest Rates Coming
A better-than-expected jobs report for the month of November is another nail in the coffin of low mortgage rates and deposit rates. This is a mixed bag, depending on whether you are a net borrower or lender, i.e. have a mortgage or own certificates of deposit. At the end of this article are steps you can take to position your finances for higher rates.
November's job report showed 203,000 private sector jobs were created,. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast only 180,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate fell from 7.3 percent to 7.0 percent and analysts were expecting the rate to only fall to 7.2 percent. The last time the unemployment rate was that low was five years ago. With the better-than-expected jobless claims number released yesterday and the good news in the Labor Department's Employment Situation Summary today, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve's next move.
Interest Rates Dependent on What the FOMC Decides in December's Meeting
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is scheduled to meet on December 17 and 18 to decide economic policy. The main announcement to watch for are any change with quantitative easing and the federal funds rate. The Fed has been buying $85 billion a month in long term U.S. bonds and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to force long term interest rates lower.
These purchases, combined with a federal funds rate near zero percent, seem to have finally gotten the economy moving again. The question now is when the Fed will taper their purchases and increase the federal funds rate. Analysts differ on when they believe the Fed will start tapering their purchases.
Some analysts expect an announcement right after December's meeting, some say in March and some even believe they won't start until June. At this point, I believe the Fed doesn't even know when they will start and are waiting for numbers on 4th quarter GDP growth. This will put any decision off until early next year when the 4th quarter advance estimate is released on January 30th, 2014.
Higher CD Rates in 2014
We know that CD rates are moving higher in 2014 but the question remains when they'll move higher. Bank CD rates and all deposit rates are dependent on when the federal funds rate is increased. Based on what the Fed has stated recently, the fed funds rate will move higher once the unemployment rate falls below 6.5 percent but there are even some indications that they may wait until the unemployment rate is as low as 5.5 percent. Another possible indicator of change on the horizon may be when the outlook for inflation is above 2.5 percent.
Look for deposit interest rates to start increasing sometime in the second half of 2014. We will see sharp increases in deposit rates just because rates are so low right now. With the current fed funds rate near zero percent, the Fed will have to quickly increase the rate to get it to a neutral level.
We could see a fed funds rate around 2 percent to 3 percent by the end of 2014. This will send the best 1 year CD rates at banks up above 3.00 percent. Variable rate accounts like savings accounts and money market accounts will also see rates above 3.00 percent. Of course, this could all happen quicker if economic growth picks up from current levels and the unemployment rate falls faster than expected.
Higher Mortgage Rates Already Here
Fixed long term mortgage rates have already moved higher since April of this year and will move even higher in 2014. Mortgage rates are tied to long term bond rates, which are subject to market forces.
Bond rates moved 125 basis points higher just on the possibility of the Fed tapering. This, in turn, sent long-term mortgage rates more than 100 basis points higher in 2013. Now that we are nearing a time when the Fed will actually start tapering, bond rates and mortgage rates will move higher. By the middle of 2014, 10 year bond yields will be over 3.00 percent and possibly go as high as 4.00 percent. 10 year bond rates at 4.00 percent will send 30 year conforming mortgage rates as high as 5.50 percent. By the end of 2014, 30 year rates will be around 6.00 percent. 15 year mortgage rates today are averaging 3.54 percent but will move up to 4.50 percent in the second quarter of 2014 and as high as 5.00 percent by the end of 2014.
Position Your Finances for Higher Interest Rates
Steps to Take Now Before Mortgage Rates and Refinance Rates Increase
There are a few steps you can take to position your finances for higher interest rates. Time is running out to take advantage of near record low mortgage rates to either buy a home or refinance a mortgage loan. Granted, rates are still low historically speaking but if you bought your house within the past 6 years, it probably won't make financial sense to refinance.
The general rule of thumb when refinancing is if you can get a refinance rate at least 1.00 percent lower than your current loan rate, it pays to refinance as long as you plan to stay in your home a few years. The annual average 30 year mortgage rate back in 2006 was 6.24 percent, current 30 year rates are almost to a point that it won't pay to refinance. Since 2006, average 30 year refinance rates have been even lower so the chance to refinance is fading fast.
If you're thinking of buying a home, each 1 percent rise in mortgage rates tacks on another $62.73 for every $100,000 borrowed. So for a $500,000 loan, that is another $313.65 a month in mortgage payments. $300 might not sound like much but it also reduces the total loan amount you can borrow. The income-to-debt ratio for FHA approved loans is also being reduced from 45 percent to 43 percent, further reducing the amount you can borrow.
What to Do Before CD Rates Move Higher
If you're in the market for a certificate of deposit and checking on CD rates, you see how low rates are now. Make no mistake, CD interest rates are moving higher in 2014, so if you want to lock in a rate now make sure to invest in certificates of deposit with terms of 6 months or less.
If you already have money in certificates of deposit, check on the maturity date. This is especially important for longer term CDs maturing. Banks and credit unions will automatically roll your maturing CD into another CD with the same term. The best long term CD rates are so low, it doesn't make sense to lock in a new low rate when interest rates are moving higher next year.

About Derry crime rates
The crime rate in Derry is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 26 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Derry is 1 in 39. Based on FBI crime data, Derry is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to New Hampshire, Derry has a crime rate that is higher than 74% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.
How does the crime rate in Derry compare to similar sized communities across America? When NeighborhoodScout compared Derry with other communities its size, we found that the crime rate was near the average for all other communities of similar size. So, whether Derry's crime rate is high or low compared to all places in the US, when we control for population size and compare it to places that are similar in size, it is near the middle of the pack in crime rate; not much more or less dangerous, and about what we would expect from the statistics.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Derry does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Derry.
From our analysis, we discovered that violent crime in Derry occurs at a rate higher than in most communities of all population sizes in America. The chance that a person will become a victim of a violent crime in Derry; such as armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder; is 1 in 555. This equates to a rate of 2 per one thousand inhabitants.
NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that Derry's rate for property crime is 24 per one thousand population. This makes Derry a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in Derry is one in 42.

A cyst is a closed pocket or pouch of tissue. It can be filled with air, fluid, pus, or other material. A vaginal cyst occurs on or under the vaginal lining.
Inclusion cyst; Gartner's duct cyst
There are several types of vaginal cysts.
Vaginal cysts usually do not cause symptoms. In some cases, a soft lump can be felt in the vaginal wall or protruding from the vagina. Cysts range in size from the size of a pea to that of an orange.
Some women with vaginal cysts may have discomfort during sex or trouble inserting a tampon.
A mass or bulge of the vaginal wall may be seen during a pelvic exam. You may need a biopsy to rule out vaginal cancer, especially if the mass appears to be solid.
If the cyst is located under the bladder or urethra, X-rays may be needed to see if the cyst extends into these organs.
Routine exams to check the size of the cyst and look for any changes may be the only treatment needed.
Opening and draining the cyst does not often work well, and may lead to infection.
Surgery may be needed if the cyst is causing symptoms. This surgery can be complex and is not recommended unless you have severe symptoms.
Most of the time, the outcome is good. Often, cysts remain small and do not need treatment. When surgically removed, the cysts usually do not return.
There are usually no complications from the cysts themselves. A surgical removal carries a small risk of complication. The risk depends on where the cyst is located.
Call your health care provider if a lump is felt inside the vagina or is protruding from the vagina.

Sony's VPL-VW600ES is far from the entry-level 4K projector we were expecting to see, but it should boast excellent image quality.
The Sony VPL-HW50ES costs more than most TVs, but for a fantastic big-screen cinema experience in the home it's a very good value.
Sony's two new receivers, in partnership with Control4, are the first consumer receivers to feature built-in home automation functionality.
It lacks some standard mainstream laptop features, including an integrated Webcam and multimedia control buttons, but the Sony Vaio VGN-NR498 holds some appeal thanks to its decent performance, good battery life, and excellent keyboard. Still, there's a cheaper version of this Vaio laptop we like better.
With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface, and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.
The Sony VPL-ES2 impressed us with its style rather than its substance, though its video capabilities are best-in-class.

(Updates with House bill on mortgage-backed securities and U.K. bank plans in Compliance Policy; Guillen and ex-IndyMac chief Perry in Courts; and Zachary in Interviews/Speeches.)
Dec. 15 (Bloomberg) -- A Senate panel approved a proposal to place restrictions on insider stock trading by members of Congress, as lawmakers seek to restore eroding public trust in Washington.
The Senate Homeland Security Committee, on a 7-2 vote, yesterday approved a measure that would explicitly ban lawmakers and their aides from using nonpublic information they receive as part of their legislative and oversight duties for personal gain. The legislation also would make clear that existing securities laws prohibiting insider trading apply to Congress.
Enacting such legislation, which Congress has considered before, took on added urgency after the CBS News program "60 Minutes" reported last month that members of Congress bought stock in companies during debates on legislation that might affect the businesses. None of the questioned investments was illegal, the report said.
The Senate measure combines bipartisan proposals. It directs ethics committees in the House and Senate to issue rules on insider trading and requires lawmakers to disclose their stock, commodities futures, bond and other transactions within 30 days.
The bill requires the Government Accountability Office to study the role of so-called political intelligence firms, which use their contacts in Washington to provide financial institutions with market-related information.
In the House, similar legislation is gaining bipartisan support, growing from nine cosponsors before the CBS report to more than 230 backers.
Compliance Policy
House's Emerson Says Lawmakers Agree on SEC Budget for 2012
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's 2012 budget has been agreed upon by lawmakers negotiating over the federal spending plan, according to Representative Jo Ann Emerson, the Missouri Republican who leads the House panel responsible for the SEC's outlay.
Emerson, who spoke in Washington yesterday at a U.S. Chamber of Commerce forum, declined to disclose specifics on the SEC budget, which is to be included in a $1 trillion bill to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. House and Senate leaders are trying to finish negotiations on that catchall bill before current federal funding expires Dec. 16.
The agency's budget is more generous than the spending plan lawmakers have negotiated for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Emerson told reporters at the Chamber of Commerce event held to discuss its plan for reforming the SEC.
The CFTC's 2012 budget was increased by $2.6 million to $205.3 million under an agreement signed into law last month. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro has asked Congress to approve a $1.4 billion budget for 2012 as it implements new oversight duties under the Dodd-Frank financial-regulation law.
Both Emerson and Representative Scott Garrett, the New Jersey Republican who leads a House subcommittee that oversees SEC operations, said the agency shouldn't be given more money without demonstrating it can make fundamental changes.
Separately, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission should hold off an overhaul of money-market fund rules until it assesses whether earlier changes are working, Republican Commissioner Dan Gallagher said yesterday at the conference.
Considering capital buffers and a floating net-asset value at this point "would be premature or possibly unnecessary," Gallagher said, citing steps Schapiro has said the agency may take.
"I'm hesitant about any form of so-called capital requirement, whether it takes the form of a buffer or an actual capital requirement similar to those imposed on banks," said Gallagher, who was installed as an SEC commissioner last month. "The level of capital that would be required to legitimately backstop the funds would effectively end the industry."
Schapiro said last month that the SEC will soon propose revamping money-market fund rules in pursuit of "structural reform" in the $2.6 trillion industry.
Regulators are aiming to make the funds safer and more stable in response to the 2008 collapse of the Reserve Primary Fund. The SEC could approve rules without backing from Gallagher, one of two Republicans on the five-member commission.
House Panel Votes for Standards on Mortgage-Backed Securities
A U.S. House subcommittee advanced legislation that would require regulators to establish standards for mortgage-backed securities.
The Financial Services Committee's Capital Markets panel voted 18-15 yesterday for the measure.
The requirement is part of a package of bills from House Republicans aimed at dismantling Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the mortgage-finance companies that have operated under U.S. conservatorship since they were seized in September 2008. The government-sponsored enterprises, which own or guarantee almost half of U.S. home loans, have drawn more than $170 billion from a Treasury Department lifeline.
The bills must win approval from the full Financial Services Committee before they can be considered by the House.
FSA Official Said to Meet Bankers on Euro Breakup Contingencies
The head of prudential policy at the U.K. Financial Services Authority will meet today with officials from the British Bankers' Association in London, two people familiar with the matter said.
Paul Sharma will discuss, as part of the meeting with officials from the lender group, contingency plans for a financial collapse following the breakup of the Euro currency union or a large bank failure, said one of the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting isn't public.
U.K. banks should have contingency plans for "unlikely but not un-severe scenarios," including the exit of euro-area member states, Andrew Bailey, head of banking supervision at Britain's banking watchdog, said last month.
Liam Parker, a spokesman at the FSA, declined to immediately comment.
The Wall Street Journal reported the planned meeting earlier today.

Corzine, former MF Global Holdings, Ltd. chairman and chief executive officer, Bradley Abelow, the firm's president and chief operating officer, and Dan Berkovitz, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission general counsel, are scheduled to testify at a hearing today of the House Financial Services subcommittee on oversight and investigations.
The panel is the third congressional committee to vote to subpoena Corzine, who has said he had no intent to authorize the misuse of customers' funds at the company's broker-dealer unit.
Corzine Knew MF Made Loan From Customer Accounts, Duffy Says
Jon Corzine, the former chief executive officer of MF Global Holdings Ltd., knew that the company made a loan out of segregated customer accounts before it went bankrupt, CME Group Inc. chairman Terrence Duffy told the U.S. Senate.
Duffy, whose company is MF Global's regulator and principal exchange, faced questions about a shortfall of some $1.2 billion in missing customer funds. CME and Commodity Futures Trading Commission staff had been told a discrepancy existed in the customer funds, which by law are required to be kept separate from company funds.
On Oct. 31, the day MF Global filed for bankruptcy protection, "a CME auditor also participated in a phone call with senior MF Global employees, wherein one employee indicated that Mr. Corzine knew about the loans that it had made for the customer -- from the customer segregated accounts," Duffy said Dec. 13.
Corzine in earlier testimony said that he couldn't explain why money was missing from customer accounts, and that he had been surprised to find out that money was missing from customer accounts on the night of Sunday Oct. 30.

CFTC Internal Watchdog Prepares for MF Global Oversight Review
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission's internal watchdog will review the agency's oversight of MF Global Holdings Ltd's brokerage after "immediate concerns" about as much as $1.2 billion in client funds are resolved, said Judith Ringle, attorney-adviser in the inspector general's office.
The watchdog's office is waiting for James W. Giddens, the trustee overseeing the liquidation of the bankrupt broker, to determine when the concerns are resolved before beginning the review, Ringle said yesterday in an interview.
Compliance Action
Ex-UBS Trader Says Bank Had No Unauthorized Trading Controls
UBS AG's wealth-management unit in London had no controls to prevent unauthorized trading in client accounts, according to a lawyer for a former trading desk head challenging a 1.25 million-pound ($1.93 million) fine.
UBS "was to some extent complicit" in Sachin Karpe's unauthorized trades because "senior managers" were copied on e-mails about some client accounts, Karpe's lawyer, Michael Blair, said at a court hearing in London this week. An external auditor's review, commissioned by the bank, determined there were no controls to prevent internal unauthorized transfers or loans between clients of the bank unit, Blair said.
Blair said that Karpe did not circumvent controls because there were no rules in place.
The case is one of three challenges by individual UBS bankers to Financial Services Authority enforcement actions stemming from the unauthorized trades. Zurich-based UBS in 2009 paid an 8 million pound-fine and agreed to reimburse customers $42.4 million.
A UBS spokesman said the bank has "acknowledged that there were weaknesses in certain aspects of Wealth Management U.K.'s control environment."

SEC Revokes Registration of China's Longtop Financial
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission revoked the registration of Longtop Financial Technologies, a Chinese maker of financial software, saying the company is in default for failing to respond to an agency order.
The SEC had requested that Longtop give reasons why the registration of its securities shouldn't be revoked for failing to file required financial reports, according to an SEC filing.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Deutsche Bank AG took Longtop public in 2007.
Kluger Pleads Guilty in Law-Firm Insider Trading Scheme
Matthew Kluger pleaded guilty to stealing corporate merger tips from law firms to fuel a 17-year insider-trading scheme that prosecutors said generated $37 million in illegal profits.
Kluger, 50, admitted to securities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and obstruction of justice yesterday in federal court in Newark, New Jersey. He said he stole from four law firms where he worked as an attorney and agreed to forfeit $415,000 in cash. U.S. District Judge Katharine Hayden set sentencing for April 9. Kluger remains free on bail.
Kluger is the third defendant to plead guilty in the case, joining stock trader Garrett Bauer and middleman Kenneth T. Robinson in admitting they used nonpublic data to trade ahead of more than 30 corporate transactions over 17 years. Robinson, who cooperated with prosecutors, pleaded guilty in April. Bauer pleaded guilty on Dec. 8.
The case is U.S. v. Bauer, 11-cr-03536, U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey (Newark).
Accountant Gets 14 Months in Connecticut Hedge-Fund Case
A Venezuelan accountant was sentenced to 14 months in prison for his role in trying to hinder a probe into a Connecticut hedge fund manager accused of conducting a Ponzi scheme.
Juan Carlos Guillen Zerpa, 44, was sentenced yesterday in federal court in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for lying to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, according to Tom Carson, spokesman for U.S. Attorney David Fein in New Haven.
Guillen admitted to aiding Francisco Illarramendi, majority owner of Michael Kenwood Group LLC, a holding company for an investment adviser through which Illarramendi managed several hedge funds. Illarramendi pleaded guilty to fraud and obstruction on March 7. Guillen was managing partner of BDO Guillen Martinez & Asociados, the Venezuelan affiliate of BDO International Ltd., according to the Latin American Herald Tribune.
Carson, the prosecutor's spokesman, said the investigation into the case is continuing.
The criminal case is U.S. v. Guillen, 11-cr-76, U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut (Bridgeport), and the SEC case is SEC v. Illarramendi, 11-cv-78, U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut (New Haven).

Ex-IndyMac Chief Perry Must Face FDIC Lawsuit Over Loan Losses
Michael Perry, the ex-IndyMac Bancorp Inc. chief executive officer, must face Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. claims over more than $600 million in losses on mortgage loans that couldn't be sold.
U.S. District Judge Otis Wright II in Los Angeles denied Perry's request to dismiss the lawsuit. The judge disagreed with Perry's argument that the so-called business-judgment rule protects corporate officers as well as directors from lawsuits over their decisions made on behalf of the corporation. In support of his decision, Wright cited California legislative history.
The FDIC sued Perry in July, alleging that he acted negligently when he allowed IndyMac, once the second-largest U.S. independent mortgage lender, to generate and purchase $10 billion in risky loans to be sold in the secondary market in 2007.
IndyMac was seized by regulators in July 2008, and was later sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
D. Jean Veta, a lawyer for Perry, didn't immediately return phone and e-mail messages yesterday seeking comment on the ruling.
The case is FDIC v. Perry, 11-05561, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles).

Goldman Sachs Recruits French-Speaking Regulator From FSA
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s U.K. arm hired a French-speaking markets regulator from Britain's Financial Services Authority, as rule-setting powers move from London to Paris and Brussels.
The bank hired Martine Doyon, a specialist in European Union market rules and an international strategist for the regulator, to head up its EU government-affairs department, an FSA spokesman said in a telephone interview. She becomes at least the ninth senior official to leave the regulator since the government said in 2010 it would abolish the agency.

Two weeks after he locked the final cut of Netflix's Arrested Development revival, show creator Mitch Hurwitz is catching up on TV, traveling to New York and checking social media to gauge the reaction to the fruits of two years of labor. "Right now my hope is that the people who are interested in the Bluth family give the show a try," he says of the new episodes, which each focus on a different character yet are intertwined.
The 15 Arrested episodes were released simultaneously on May 26. Fan reaction has been decent, but critics were mixed, with some of those negative reviews reportedly hurting Netflix's stock price (although anticipation for the show previously helped boost the streaming service's stock).
Hurwitz tweeted on May 28 that critics were "resisting change." But in a lengthy chat last week with TV Guide Magazine, he clarified what he meant, and also discussed his future plans for the show. Hurwitz even addressed Internet chatter about star Portia de Rossi's appearance. An edited transcript follows.
"Maybe a movie" would have been a better option after all for continuing the gloriously twisted saga of the beloved cult comedy classic Arrested Development. Those famous last words, spoken by executive producer/narrator Ron Howard in a cameo in the 2006 series finale on Fox, continue to haunt the show's sprawling and rarely satisfying 15-episode reboot on Netflix.
Arrested Development
Mitch Hurwitz, you were wrong.
A few days before Arrested Development's fourth season premiered on Netflix, the showrunner said that fans shouldn't binge-watch all 15 episodes in one go. Since I'm such a rebel (and one with zero patience), I did so anyways, and Mitch should be grateful.

That's a wrap! The stakes are rarely higher for a TV series than at the end of a season — whether it's signing off until next fall with a climactic grand gesture or taking a well-earned final bow.

One of the more touching memorials is the Children's Peace Memorial, which remembers the story of a child who believed that if she could make 1,000 paper cranes than that would help her to recover. She reached her target, but sadly it made no difference to her health and she died from the effects of the bomb. The paper crane then went on to become the sign of eternal hope with thousands still sent here from schools all over Japan to add to this memorial. Once again, it's a very uplifting story and, despite the overwhelming sadness behind this, you can't help but smile when you see all the wonderful paper cranes that children have created over the years.
There's much more to Hiroshima though that just the legacy of the bombing. On the northern side of the city lie the Shukkeien Gardens, a real hidden gem that didn't merit much of a mention in any of my guidebooks, which was a real shame, as they were a great find. Originally founded in 1652, it was leveled in the bombing and then completely rebuilt. The sad part was that many of the survivors came here, with a large proportion of those dying in the days following the attack. They were buried here and the garden then rebuilt. It brought a whole new dimension to the gardens, which were exceptionally peaceful and all located around a huge lake with intricate bridges across it. If you love Japanese gardens, this really is one of the best that you will see.
A streetcar ride from Hiroshima is the island of Miyajima, home to what's regarded as one of Japan's top three sights for photographing – the beautiful red Torii gate that was the inspiration for Epcot's version. You take a ferry over there from the streetcar stop and it's only a short journey before you arrive, with some great views of the Torii gate on the way over. Behind the gate is the Itsukushima Shrine, which was founded in 593 and is built on stilts over a cove. Just like the gate that protects it, it's a vibrant red color, which makes for some stunning images. In fact, that's the one constant as you walk through the shrine – everywhere you look are picture postcard images for you to enjoy. No visitor to Hiroshima should leave without seeing it first.
Although the reason for Hiroshima's popularity with visitors is sad beyond words, it's a city that is filled with hope and optimism, despite its tragic history. As we left at the end of our time there, that spirit very much stayed with us and, as my husband had said before we headed there, Hiroshima is definitely a city that you have to see, if you get the opportunity.

I've been racking up miles on the American Flyer and thought I'd post a little photo update. Since last post I've upgraded Speedplay X5 Pedals, Tao Cages and the Specialized Mini-Wedgie Bag. The bike is incredible, strong in the climbs fast on the flats and snappy in the pack. One of the best long term benefits is the amount of time I can spend in the saddle. This bike is comfortable it adsorbs the the bumps in the road without giving up any rigidness.
If anyone else is rocking the AF edition I'd love to see some pics.

I have a pellicle forming on my Belgian IPA - a dusty, bubbly pellicle. Not sure where it came from, nothing was deliberately added to the beer to wildify it.
Given the amount of hops used (200g+) would this not have kept certain infections at bay?
No not all.
Yes it would keep certain infections at bay, commercial lacto cultures i believe, but not all.
Bottles: Flanders Red 2011, ESB
In primary(s): Dirty Belgian dark strong, Flanders Red 2012, Marris Otter Barleywine, Kitchen-cleaning-Porter
Long term carboy:
What does it taste like.
What alcohol level.
I suspect only Brett would be able to do much to it.
Orval make a nice beer. Might be interesting to see if it changes over time.
..... Might be nothing.
I'd be quite pleased if it was brett - the alcohol level is around 9%. I think i'll bottle soon and drink quicky to enjoy at least some of them dry-hopped.
Taste is good, hoppy fruity and belgian yeasty (T58).
I've yet to taste it since the pellicle formed but it smells distinctly like pineapple. My only hope is that the dry-hops do not fade too much. I'm going to bottle this weekend, it smells amazing.
