The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

China to Commit on Currency Flexibility: Brainard
By Rebecca Christie and Zijing Wu - Nov 4, 2011 5:57 AM GMT+0900
China will make commitments on currency flexibility as part of a Group of
20 action plan that will call upon export-oriented economies to boost
domestic consumption, said Lael Brainard, U.S. Treasury undersecretary for
international affairs.
Brainard said China is a**playing a quite constructive rolea** in
conversations that will commit trade a**surplus countriesa** to stepping
up domestic consumption. Currency flexibility a**will be part of the
action plana** announced at the end of the summit, Brainard said at a
briefing in Cannes, France.
G-20 leaders are meeting in Cannes to discuss Europea**s efforts to deal
with its debt crisis and update their plans on rebalancing the global
Chinese President Hu Jintao called for reform of the international
monetary system to be advanced a**in a steady manner,a** according to the
text of remarks he made to French President Nicolas Sarkozy at the G-20
Measures should include changes to a**expand the use ofa** the special
drawing rights of the International Monetary Fund, a**reform the SDR
currency basket and build an international reserve currency system with
stable value, rule-based issuance and manageable supply,a** Hu said,
according to the text distributed to reporters in Cannes.
The yuan advanced 0.09 percent to close at 6.3514 per dollar in Shanghai,
according to the China Foreign Exchange Trade System.
Seeking Flexibility
A draft of the communique that will be released at the end of the two-day
meeting singled out China as needing to allow more flexibility in its
currency to help ease global trade and investment imbalances, according to
an official from a G-20 nation, who spoke on condition of anonymity
because discussions on the statement havena**t finished.
The official said the citation may not remain in the final version because
of opposition from Chinese officials.
Any ratcheting up of pressure on the yuana**s gains might risk stoking
tension as European officials seek Chinaa**s investment in an expanded
rescue fund aimed at resolving the euro-regiona**s debt crisis. Chinese
Deputy Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao last month welcomed a statement by
G-20 finance chiefs that omitted reference to the yuan.
a**Balanceda** Communique
The Oct. 16 communique was a**comprehensive and balanced,a** Zhu said in
an interview last month. The text said emerging markets with trade
surpluses should continue to a**move toward more market-determined
exchange-rate systems and achieve greater exchange-rate flexibility to
reflect economic fundamentals.a**
Lawmakers in the U.S. are pressing the Obama administration to take a
stronger stand on Chinaa**s currency. The U.S. Senate approved a bill last
month that would let manufacturers seek duties on Chinese imports if they
prove they were harmed by manipulation of the yuan. The U.S. contends
China has kept its currency undervalued. President Barack Obama has
pressed Chinese leaders to take steps to boost domestic consumption to
address trade imbalances.
Chinaa**s state-owned companies dona**t cause the nationa**s trade
surplus, so the proposed U.S. policy is a**groundless,a** Chinese Commerce
Minister Chen Deming said at a briefing in Cannes. He also said China will
support Europe in dealing with the crisis and import more from the euro
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release November 3, 2011
Filing Center
Pullman Hotel
Cannes, France
MR. CARNEY: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for your
patience. This is an off-camera, not-for-broadcast, but on-the-record
briefing -- in other words, you can quote us, those of us who are up here,
but not for broadcast, either radio or television.
I have with me tonight Ben Rhodes again, Deputy National Security
Advisor for Strategic Communications; and then Lael Brainard, who's the
Under Secretary of the Treasury for International Affairs.
And, Ben, if you want to top it off, and we'll take your questions.
MR. RHODES: Sure, thanks. We'll move pretty quickly here to
questions. Again, just to recap the day, the President, after his
bilateral meetings this morning, participated in the first several
sessions of the G20, where I think leaders were focused intently on
advancing the broader G20 agenda that's aimed at achieving balanced and
sustainable growth, while also having consultations about the pressing
challenges here in the eurozone, which are, of course, of great interest
to the U.S. economy, to the European economy, and to the global economy as
a whole.
I think the sense was that leaders were very committed to dealing with
this challenge with a sense of urgency. After having expressed support
for the European plan that was laid out last week to address and stabilize
the situation in the eurozone, they continued to discuss how that plan is
going to be implemented -- and Lael can address some of that in your
questions. Tomorrow those consultations will continue at the G20 sessions
in the morning. And then the President will have a bilateral meeting with
the President of Argentina.
Just one slight addendum to the Libya event in the afternoon, because
there was a question earlier about the attendance of senior U.S. military
-- Admiral Stavridis, the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, will be in
attendance, obviously as the senior U.S. official, senior military
official of NATO; and Admiral Locklear, who is our Commander, Naples, in
terms of executing the Libyan operation, will also be there. So, again,
the senior U.S. military leadership that led our portion of the coalition
effort in Libya will be represented at that event.
Then the two Presidents will have the joint interview that we
discussed earlier this morning to conclude the President's time here.
But with that, Lael and I are happy to take your questions.
Q Dr. Brainard, your colleague, Mike Froman, said that the
exposure of -- the direct exposure of U.S. banks to the eurozone crisis
was modest and there were tools in place to deal with any spillover from
indirect exposure. Can you talk about what those tools are, please?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: I think as we said previously -- I think
the Chairman of the Fed has said this previously as well on the record --
that the direct exposure of U.S. banks and financial institutions to the
periphery -- to the program countries in Europe is modest. And the
indirect effects -- and this is now speaking for ourselves, obviously
through trade, through confidence, through general growth in the global
economy are, of course, much more sizeable. And that's why all the
leaders, President Obama chief among them, along with his colleagues at
the G20, are very focused on making sure that we stand behind European
leaders as they address and solve their crisis, and also on ensuring
there's growth.
In terms of an insurance policy, the strongest, best insurance policy
for the United States is the President's jobs act proposals. He's been
actively working those. As you know, our recovery is still fragile and
vulnerable to events beyond our shores. And that's why it's so important
for us to make sure that we have in place the payroll tax cut, the
infrastructure financing, the mechanisms that he's proposed to get people
back on the job.
In terms of the broader euro area and its effects on the
international economy, the reason that we're here today is precisely
because this is the right group of countries at the leaders' level who can
come together and really restore confidence and get the world back on
growth track.
Q Dr. Brainard, I'm sorry, specifically talking about
counter-party risk from European banks to U.S. banks -- European banks
getting into severe problems. What tools does the U.S. have to address
that sort of indirect risk?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: The United States banking system is a lot
better capitalized than it was going into the crisis. If you look at the
capital buffers in the U.S. banks, their leverage ratios have come down
very considerably as a result of the stress tests in 2009 and the new
guidelines that are being put in place. And their capital buffers have
doubled relative to where they were in the crisis. And it's precisely to
guard against shocks from financial markets that we led this effort to
ensure that our banks would be carrying much thicker capital cushions, as
they do today.
Q So that's what the tool -- you're relying on the capital, the
bank capital?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: We're relying on a whole host of changes
in our financial system that have been introduced in the past several
years that are increasing transparency about counter-parties, confidence
in counter-parties, again, reducing leverage. The size of the shadow
banking system has shrunk very considerably since the time of the crisis.
And again, the very thick capital cushions that our banks are being asked
to carry and asked to continue building are a very significant insurance
policy for our banks.
Q You've called for an enhanced role for the European Central Bank
to fight the eurozone crisis. What is it you need to do now as this
situation in Greece and Italy escalates? And can you give us any
specifics on what President Obama sought for the ECB when he met with
Chancellor Merkel and some other leaders today?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: Well, in the Presidenta**s meetings with
Chancellor Merkel, with President Sarkozy, in the broader leadersa**
meeting at the G20 on growth, he really focused on a set of interlinking
pieces that the Europeans are putting in place that together put them in a
much stronger position to decisively address the financial volatility that
theya**ve been facing.
The ECB of course has an important role to play. It is a very
significant Pan-Euro-area institution, and it is playing a constructive
and important role. And of course the Fed played a vital and critical
role as a partner as we wrestled with the financial crisis here two years
ago. But there are also -- the Commission is playing an important role,
and the leaders of the euro area. So it is the full set of leaders and
Pan-European institutions that together hold the key to the resolution of
this crisis.
And that is what the President has been emphasizing, not just here, but as
you know, hea**s had a number of very important phone calls and meetings
with European leaders over the past weeks to try to bring everybody
together to articulate the comprehensive plan that they put together on
October 26th and now to accelerate and elaborate their implementation of
that comprehensive plan.
Q Thank you. Can you please give us a readout of Secretary
Geithnera**s meeting with Wang Qishan today? And also, does the IMF need
more resources or should it host an SPV, a special purpose vehicle, to
help the euro area?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: Secretary Geithner had a very good meeting
with Vice Premier Wang. As you know, they together run the economic track
of the Strategic and Economic Dialogue and have forged a very strong
relationship over the years.
They met today and talked about a host of issues, common challenges. They
talked together about how they view the financial volatility that the euro
area and the global economy are facing. They also talked more broadly
about the role that China can play. And I will say that China is playing
a quite constructive role at these meetings. Youa**ll recall that in
Pittsburgh, President Obama led the initiative to broaden out and make
sure that the G20 became the premiere forum for steering the global
economy. I think that vision of his has been validated here. China is
recognizing, I think in a very constructive way, the important role that
its economy can play as it provides greater demand for the international
economy at a time when demand in the advanced economies is weakened.
China, by shifting to domestic consumption, can play a more constructive
role and help to sustain growth.
And youa**ll see some language I think in the communiquA(c) action plan
that come out of this meeting that really shows a recognition that there
is more that China is willing on its own initiative to do to help shift
towards domestic consumption-led growth away from an export model thata**s
really outdated and ill-suited for todaya**s conditions.
Q And the IMF?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: There are a number of discussions underway
to talk about how the international community can come together in support
of the Europeans as they move forward to elaborate and to accelerate
implementation of their comprehensive plan.
Of course, the core of that needs to be European commitment and
European resources, and that is going to be the core of any successful
effort. But the international community also has a role to play in coming
behind Europe and also in making sure that, in todaya**s more volatile
financial markets, that members of the IMF have the mechanisms they need
to shield themselves from contagion.
There are a number of constructive ideas that are on the table, and
so we are hopeful that the international community and the euro area can
both come together and take some meaningful actions to accelerate
implementation of the comprehensive plan and decisively address the
volatility that has been in the financial markets.
Q SPV, more resources? That was the question.
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: There are a number of ideas that are being
discussed. I think the situation is fluid; I dona**t know where it will
end up. But there are a number of, we think, constructive and creative
ideas on the table.
Q Along those lines, if there are countries like the UK and Russia
and Brazil and others that are offering more money to the IMF, would the
U.S. consider going along and offering more of its own?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: Our position has been that for Europea**s
comprehensive plan to succeed, Europe really has to be at the center of
that. It has to mobilize the very substantial resources it has. It has
to show the will, the political will that all the leaders have
articulated. And that is, at the end of the day, going to be the crux of
the success of Europea**s comprehensive plan.
That said, therea**s a role for the international community, and the
IMF, as you know, is substantially better resourced today than it was back
in 2009 when we supported an expansion of the resources of the IMF. Today
it has about four times greater resources than what was available to it
when that action was taken in 2009, so we think that is a very important
buffer for the international community.
And of course we will be part of these discussions about how to make sure
that Europe can find ways to fully mobilize its resources and that the
international community is coming behind Europe.
MR. RHODES: And I just had one thing that -- building on some of the
things wea**ve said today, which is that what you have is a European plan
that was obviously agreed to last week, and theya**re obviously going to
drive the process of implementation, drive the resourcing and
implementation of that plan.
The G20 provides a forum for the international community and the leaders
who are here in Cannes to discuss ways in which they can express support
for those European efforts, drawing on, in part, some of the lessons and
the tools that were developed in the financial crisis in 2008-2009 when
very aggressive action was taken by the United States and others to deal
with a financial crisis. And it was precisely in that timeframe that,
again, the IMF did see a significant increase in its resourcing and,
again, has been able to be a tool in the context of the eurozone as well
as many other challenges around the world.
Q For Dr. Brainard. What was -- what is your reaction to the events
that occurred in Athens today with the withdrawal of the referendum? And
can you just sort of explain to us -- all this went down in a very
dramatic fashion during the course of these meetings today. Give us a
sense of sort of how that was received on the inside. How did -- were
people watching this on TV? And what was the reaction when the Prime
Minister was speaking?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: I'm going to refrain from commenting on
the specific political developments in Greece. But what I will say is,
for any financial stabilization program to succeed, to convince the
markets to come back and finance a sovereign, there has got to be
political commitment on the part of the sovereign. That is the first test
of the success of a financial stabilization program. And that is the
message that European leaders gave to the leader of Greece.
And it is, I think, helpful that the G20 is meeting together at this time,
because it really gives the leaders around this table -- which, again, is
the right set of countries to be grappling with growth challenges,
financial volatility challenges in the global economy -- gives them an
opportunity to help provide that stability and a stronger base for growth
going forward, so that the Europeans can succeed in their efforts on the
basis of strong reform commitments in Greece and in other vulnerable
sovereigns, and on the basis of continued political commitment.
Q But the initial reaction was not positive that this referendum
has been at least postponed? It seemed to be a desired result, right?
MR. RHODES: Yes. I mean, again, what I'd say is, as we said earlier
today, there's a plan that was agreed to last week that addresses the
Greek situation, addresses it in a comprehensive context that includes
other elements -- whether that involves recapitalization; it also involves
establishing a sufficient firewall to deal with contagion. We believe
that that's a good basis for going forward. We believe that there's a
very clear road map going forward as relates to Greece that was
established as a part of that plan. And again, I think the European
leaders made very clear the fact that the decisions that the Greeks
undertake are going to affect, perhaps, the sequencing of the
implementation of that plan.
And so what we want to see is political will on behalf of all the leaders
who made commitments last week, to include, of course, Greece's political
leadership, who have had to make some very tough decisions that are
necessary to put their economy on a firmer footing, as well as a broader
spectrum of political leaders here in Cannes and here in Europe who also
have to take some very tough political decisions.
So, again, our view is that there's a plan of action. We want to see that
plan of action go forward. It's going to take political will to move that
plan of action forward. But again, what the G20 does is it serves as a
catalyst for leaders to come forward and show that political will.
Q I assume that the referendum was not part of that plan for action
and, therefore, it being out of the picture is a positive.
MR. RHODES: It wasn't. I mean, obviously it wasn't. I mean, you heard
the European -- you heard Chancellor Merkel and President Sarkozy say very
clearly yesterday that the referendum was something that was obviously put
forward after that agreement was reached; that they would not move forward
with the provision, the resources associated with the agreement last week
until after the referendum took place.
So, again, I think what we want to see is not a climate of uncertainty,
but a climate of political commitment to move forward and to implement in
a bold and decisive fashion the steps that were agreed to.
Q Dr. Brainard, you said earlier this week that the Chinese might be
relieved that the Greek debt crisis would take the focus off the issue of
their currency valuation. Did Secretary Geithner bring up that issue
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: I'm pretty sure I never said that.
(Laughter.) But I will say that currency has been part of these
conversations. I think you'll see some language in the action plan on
that. I think China is recognizing the role of greater exchange rate
flexibility in helping to shift to domestic demand. It is one of the most
powerful instruments, perhaps the most powerful instrument, that China has
at its disposal in the near term to both counter inflationary pressures,
which is a very high priority for them, and also to shift to domestic,
demand-led growth.
So it's very much been part of the discussions here. It will be in the
action plan, as part of a broader set of things that China and others are
going to do to help shift their growth models to domestic demand. And
there is generally discussion about avoiding persistent exchange rate
misalignments. So I think you'll see a shift there that's a constructive
Q Just to clarify -- you've talked about China's constructive role in
sort of the broader G20 agenda. A moment ago, did you also say they're
playing a constructive role specifically as far as the eurozone crisis?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: What I said earlier is that when the
Secretary met with the Vice Premier today, they talked about a host of
issues that we both have a big stake in, among which European efforts to
move forward on this comprehensive plan and deal decisively with the
challenges they face -- they did so in the context of a broader set of
issues that are also of common concern. And in terms of China's role here
at the G20, one of the most important contributions they can make at this
time, when everyone is focused on growth -- everyone at that table is
focused on securing stronger growth -- one of the most important
contributions China can make is to shift its own growth path, which will
help contribute at a time when demand in the advanced economies is weak.
Q I'd like to know if you can tell us what was the single most
important progress that you think was made today, either for growth or for
the details that might have come out for European plan, or for the Tobin
tax. And also on the side, is there a reaction of the U.S. for the
European Central Bank that has capped for the first time in a while its
interest rates?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: Let's see, let me take it backwards.
We're pretty careful not to talk too much about decisions of central
bankers and in our own economy, so probably not good of us to do so with
respect to other central banks. But on the issue of what is the
single-most important shift that we see, you really do see, I think, a
coming together around growth. You will see it in the action plan. You
will see it in the communiquA(c). You will see that the world clearly --
the G20 countries clearly see as their number-one priority for action
together is to strengthen the recovery.
And so you will see that countries are talking. For those who have
some policy space about letting automatic stabilizers do their work, about
using discretionary measures, you will see good language in there, again,
about how those surplus economies really need to take concrete actions to
shift to more domestic demand-led growth, including by using exchange
rates, but also by using domestic measures. And of course for the euro
area, which is experiencing financial volatility, the path to growth is
really by dealing decisively with the financial challenges in their
sovereign debt markets and in their banking systems.
MR. RHODES: And just to add one thing -- I think what we see is
these summits are both an opportunity to advance an agenda that we've been
working very hard on over a period of time -- certainly the efforts to
highlight the necessity of growth in the global economy, to include
efforts by emerging economies to increase demand, are a part of that
ongoing effort. But they're also a catalyst for action as relates to
current crises. And I think one of the most important functions of the
G20 here is it's been able to focus that effort at the highest political
levels of the world's biggest economies. It helped focus efforts leading
into the G20, where European leaders came together in advance of Cannes to
lay out a plan of action.
And I think today what we see is leaders coming together with a sense of a
common purpose to address what ways Europe can, again, solidify its
implementation of that plan and what ways the international community can
express support for their efforts going forward. Obviously those
discussions are going to continue into tomorrow, but, again, we believe
that this demonstrates the utility of the G20 serving as the focal point
for this type of international economic coordination and the ability to
advance a broad agenda over time and the ability to deal with very
specific crises as they emerge.
Q Dr. Brainard, can you clarify just a couple of small things? I just
want to clarify that, although it was in the context of a comprehensive
package, Obama did raise the role of the ECB in the eurozone crisis, and
secondly, that the U.S. would be opposed -- and is opposed -- to a new SDR
allocation for the IMF.
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: On the first issue, I think I spoke earlier
about how the President has consistently been engaged with European
leaders on a comprehensive plan that necessarily engages all of the
critical institutions in the euro area. And the ECB is a critical
pan-euro area institution -- of course it is part of that, but it's part
of a broader set of actors, and is part of the set of actions that
together are going to stabilize Europe and put it onto a sustainable
growth path. So it's really in that context.
More broadly, on the question of actions that the international community
can take together, again let me just say the conversations there were
quite fluid. And so what we'll do is give you a better sense of that once
those conversations are progressed.
Q Just to clarify, today the President mentioned the thing that he's
been talking about for months and months in terms of the ECB's role in the
eurozone crisis.
MR. RHODES: I mean, I wouldn't overstate it as in relation to other
elements. Again, as Lael said, in these meetings he -- it was one of many
different tools that were discussed as potential levers that could drive
implementation of the European plan. But it was in a very broad context,
and I wouldn't elevate it as against the other variety of tools that exist
to policy makers.
MR. CARNEY: Let's just do two more if we could.
Q Dr. Brainard, let me also clarify on the point of the role of IMF.
So is it safe to say that an option to boost IMF resources is off the
table at this G20 summit, and rather leaders are talking about technical
aspects of IMF, how IMF can help Europeans?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: Again, I can't give you a lot of details at the
moment because the conversations are very fluid. I think the best way of
characterizing it would be that Europe is talking intensively, and we are
talking with Europe intensively about how better to mobilize its own
resources; how better to demonstrate political will on reforms, on
commitment to ensure that the largest sovereigns with sound policies will
have access to financing at affordable rates to ensure that the banking
system is going to have the liquidity and the capital it needs to inspire
confidence in its depositors and its investors; and that Greece is on a
sustainable path.
Those are the critical pieces, and Europe really is at the center of a
successful plan. But of course the international community has a huge
interest in Europe getting this right, and is going to want to be there --
and the U.S., no less than anybody else, and perhaps a great deal more.
These are our allies; these are our friends; these are our partners. And
the U.S. will be with Europe as they move forward on this through the IMF
and directly as well. And the international community I think wants to
make sure that Europe has its support, but also that the world economy is
in a place where ita**s well-resourced to deal with any shocks.
And, again, we started back in 2009 with far fewer resources in the
IMF than we have today; four times more resources today, much better
resource system for precisely these kinds of challenges.
MR. CARNEY: Last question.
Q Can I ask Dr. Brainard -- overall, how close are you coming to
seeing some of the greater elaboration, greater detail that Obama, Mike
Froman earlier today, all of you have been talking about is your goal in
greater elaboration on this? And is this something that you could see
happening in the timeline of these actual G20 talks, or you wona**t see
that happen in the next few days?
UNDER SECRETARY BRAINARD: Let me just answer a little indirectly,
first, by saying that the conversations around the table, both of the
large group, but also the President when hea**s working with his European
friends, and in small group discussions, theya**re very focused on this.
So everybody is of a single mind in terms of what the imperative is. And
ita**s just a question of trying to move forward in a way that is decisive
and shows that everyone grasps the urgency of the situations.
But I would also offer that this is a process, that any kind of
financial stabilization efforts are processes where additional actions are
taken and markets evolve, political events evolve, and we need to -- our
European friends needs to be agile and to be able to continue to evolve.
One of the reasons we stressed from the start the importance of a
very well-resourced firewall with overwhelming capacity is precisely to
provide that kind of insulation, so that when events -- either political
or market events -- are destabilizing, that other economies in the euro
area will be well protected from the contagion. And I think everybody
understands that and theya**re working very hard to make sure that
element, that vital element of the plan, is in place and has the
overwhelming capacity needed.
MR. RHODES: And just to wrap it up, I think that, again, what
wea**ve seen thus far and will continue tomorrow to discuss is there are a
range of tools and options that are available to European leaders as they
flesh out and move forward with their implementation plan. Wea**ve
discussed a range of those tools here today. There is also, of course
within the international community, through the IMF, a range of other
additional tools that could support European efforts in moving forward.
And I think what we see here is a very concerted effort where you see
the European sense of urgency to act and to move forward with the
implementation of their program. You also see, from the U.S. side, the
ability to draw from our own experiences to provide the type of technical
expertise that exists within our team, as we share those lessons and as we
discuss some of the tools that the Europeans are considering and the
international community can bring to bear.
And I think what the discussions are doing are fleshing out, again,
precisely how the Europeans project a way forward with their
implementation, and precisely how the international community expresses
support and provides support for those efforts given, again, the
ramifications for the European economy but also for the stability of the
global economy, the economic recovery back in the United States.
So I think what we see is a very serious sense of purpose here. I
think you see that the summit itself has galvanized a sense of urgency.
You have the President working very closely with some of his very closest
partners and allies from around the world to deal with this. And
tomorrow, of course, wea**ll continue those discussions and look to point
the way forward to the next phase of the implementation plan in Europe,
and also the G20 agenda broadly, in terms of dealing with promoting
balance and sustainable growth going forward.
Q Are you narrowing your focus? I mean, are you narrowing --
MR. RHODES: Yes, I think there is an effort to narrow -- to focus in
on what are the tools that are going to be most effective driving the
implementation of the European agreement that was reached. And I think
that what the leaders are doing is that they are discussing what the range
of options are for moving forward and then narrowing a focus into what is
going to be the most effective way to move forward in the eurozone, even
as theya**re also moving forward on a much broader G20 agenda.
MR. CARNEY: Thanks, everybody. Appreciate it.

Leonard Cohen As Francois Zolan In French Twist
One of the items (#9 to be specific) in the March 3, 2007 Heck Of A Guy post, Ten Lesser Known Facts About Leonard Cohen, described Leonard Cohen's appearance on the "French Twist" episode of Miami Vice. That section of the post is pasted below.
I have republished this information to supplement a video of that performance I discovered as a bonus of reading a thoughtful review of Cohen's Hamilton concert.1
The singer-songwriter's two brief scenes on the show have been extracted from the full episode and uploaded in a single, short video onto YouTube. That video can be seen at the end of today's post.
In 1986, Leonard Cohen, at the urging of his son, Adam, who was a fan of the show, guest-starred on Miami Vice, playing Francois Zolan, a senior executive in the French Secret Service engaged in an illegal operation to blow up Greenpeace boats. He appeared in two very short sections on the end of a telephone, speaking in French.2
As Cohen himself explained in an interview with Adrian Deevoy,3 his performance turned out to be more iconic than talented,
In truth, I had a much bigger part. I went down there and did my first scene and the assistant director rang me up and said, You were really great, truly wonderful. And I said, OK, thanks a lot. Then the casting director from New York called me up and said, You were fantastic, truly wonderful! And I said, You mean I'm fired. And he said, "Yeah, we're cutting all your other scenes and giving them to another guy."

The public is invited to comment Tuesday on a proposed fish screen and fish ladder at the Sonoma County Water Agency's water supply facilities on the Russian River near Forestville.
The agency released an environmental analysis on the facilities and a public hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 29 at 8:30 a.m. in Santa Rosa, in the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors Chambers at 575 Administration Drive.
The analysis, titled: "Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration of the Mirabel Fish Ladder and Fish Screen Replacement Project," looks at the potential impacts to the environment of replacing a screen that blocks fish from entering four infiltration ponds.
According to the agency, the ponds are critical in operating a system that provides clean, naturally filtered drinking water to 600,000 people. The Initial Study also analyzes the impacts of replacing two existing ladders that allow fish migrating upstream to bypass the Water Agency's inflatable dam.
The proposed new fish screen is required by the Russian River Biological Opinion, which makes changes to some of the Water Agency's operations to provide better habitat for endangered coho salmon and threatened Chinook salmon and steelhead. The new fish ladders are part of the same facility and would enhance fish passage and allow biologists and the public to better observe migrating Chinook and coho salmon and steelhead.
Currently, about 3,000 schoolchildren visit the site annually.
The study is a preliminary analysis of a project's potential environmental impacts and is used to determine whether a Negative Declaration or an Environmental Impact Report will be prepared.
According to the agency, the Initial Study determined that any impacts to the environment during construction, operation or maintenance of the proposed fish screen and ladders can be mitigated to a less than significant level.

NASA is currently using Starizona's HyperStar imaging system on a Celestron 9.25" telescope for the ISERV mission. The telescope is located in the WORF window, pointed back at Earth. Read about it here.
Baader f/2 Highspeed Filters Baader Planetarium's new f/2 Highspeed Filters are perfect for fast optical systems like HyperStar. Normal narrowband (Ha, OIII and SII) filters are not ideal with fast systems because of the wavelength shift caused by the fast light cone. Baader's Highspeed filters are pre-shifted to match f/2 optical systems, allowing for better transmission characteristics.
CGEM Landing Pad Polar aligning your Celestron CGEM or CGEM DX mount is now easy! The Starizona CGEM Landing Pad provides a much finer, super-smooth, backlash-free azimuth adjustment for precisely aligning a CGEM mount. It also makes lining up the mount on its tripod simple.
SCT Corrector Starizona is pleased to announce our newest optical innovation: the Starizona SCT Corrector. This lens works as both a photographic focal reducer AND coma corrector for standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. You can now get coma-free images from a regular SCT while also increasing the field of view and reducing exposure times!

Let Children Be Children: Lewis Wickes Hine's Crusade Against Child Labor
A telling look at the industrialization of America, this photographic exhibition from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film in Rochester, NY reveals the circumstances that poor working children endured until legislation against child labor prevailed as late as 1938. Lewis Wickes Hine (American, 1874-1940) was a sociologist whose photographs captured his abiding concern for children, immigrants, and working-class people. He was hired by the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) in 1906 to document the harsh conditions in which children worked. Hine spent ten years photographing in the canneries, coal mines, cotton mills, farms, and sweatshops common during the early 20th century. Through the use of photography, Hine and the NCLC gained the attention of government officials and aroused public sentiment against child labor practices in the United States.

Driving in Style: Promo Cars of the 1950s and 60s
The innovative and flamboyant car designs of the 1950's are now iconic. To whet consumers' appetites for the "latest thing," the Big Three American automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler) began to release new models with slightly redesigned features every year. To promote the new vehicles, dealers distributed highly-detailed plastic models or "promos." Like their full-size versions, these colorful miniatures boasted streamlined tail fins and polished chrome grilles, reflections of the period's Space Age design and general prosperity. Given to potential buyers and their children, these salesman's samples are highly collectible today. Lent by Robert Reinhold and John O'Halloran, the promos in EAM's presentation will be on view in the McCormick House, also designed in the 1950s.

On the Brink: New Work by Nnenna Okore
EAM presents new work by internationally celebrated sculptor Nnenna Okore. Through repetitive, labor-intensive processes, Okore transforms discarded and organic materials like burlap, newspapers, plastic bags and twine into large-scale wall hangings and installations. Okore-s dramatic and undulating forms float in and across space, often casting shadows on their surrounds. Influenced by the textures, colors and landscapes of her Chicago milieu as well as the more rural environment of the small town in Nigeria where she was raised, Okore's new fiber and paper works explore the fluidity of life, finding beauty in the inevitable processes of aging and decay. Okore is a professor of art at Chicago's North Park University and was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholar Award in 2013.

Is she high or hired?
This is a story about a job applicant. A true story in fact, with the names changed to honor privacy.
A qualified candidate (we'll call her 'Lisa') applied for a job with The Image Studios. The job was an entry level support role that involved client relations and sales. Lisa's resume was excellent. She passed the phone screen with flying colors. We invited her in for a live interview – fully expecting that we would make her an offer on the spot. In short, the job was hers to lose.
Lisa arrived early, but not the dreaded too early that makes the interviewers feel like they are running late. She met one-on-one with three members of our team. Each teammate was impressed with her background and resume. But after the in-person interviews, each interviewer was not so sure about extending Lisa a job offer. Here's why.
Interviewer #1 thought Lisa seemed distracted and unexpressive during the interview. "She fidgeted in her chair – couldn't keep still. She kept a neutral face the entire interview. She answered my questions quickly and succinctly – but there was no feeling, no filler. I cracked a joke, and she seemed afraid to laugh. Perhaps she doesn't have a sense of humor – that's not a fit for this team."
Interviewer #2 was distracted by Lisa's appearance. "Why was her hair so, so blonde, with so many dark roots? Why did she look so young, perhaps because she didn't have on any makeup? Regardless, I think that having her at the front desk could undermine our credibility with prospective clients. She looks like a kid that colored her hair without permission."
Interviewer #3 decided that Lisa was brilliant – and high! "Did either of you smell weed? I smelled weed. Do you think she gets high? She's really smart, but no way can she be in front of clients."
What do you think – should we offer her the job? Remember, she's qualified and smart! Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to find out how we resolved this hiring decision.

Diamond Cutout Bodycon Dress - ONLINE EXCLUSIVE
It's My Birthday!
I searched like FRANTIC around Atlanta trying to find this dress for my birthday, but I had to give up hope and just order it online. I ordered a M/L which was a PERFECT fit once I tried it on. I'm a 5'6, athletic build, about 140 pounds and it fit me like a GLOVE for my birthday. The material feels great and not itchy at all. The length hit right between the thigh, but when walking it does ride up (of course). The color was beautiful and I dressed them up with the XTERNAL wedges from Steve Madden.

Cheap thin material used...stocking material
I love the design, size, and cut of the dress...the fits me well and looks great...however i do not like the material used for the dress, it reminds me of a pair of stockings with eventually will get lint balls all over it. Still debating on returning the dress.

Courtesy CDCThe microscopic cyclospora parasite can cause infections that last up to three months in healthy people and more than a year in the very old, the very young or people with compromised immune systems, according to public health officials. (UPDATED COVERAGE, July 31) Although they stand by their belief that a cyclospora parasite outbreak is linked to packaged salad, public health officials in Iowa say state law prohibits them from releasing the names of produce companies, restaurants or retailers that may have sold the suspect produce.
"Iowa Code Section 139A.3(2)'c' requires IDPH (Iowa Department of Public Health) to prevent the identification of any business involved in a disease outbreak, and authorizes release of the identity of a business to the public only 'when the state epidemiologist or director of public health determines such a release of information is necessary for the protection of the public,' " according to a July 31 statement from the department.
"Because the vast majority of illnesses occurred in mid-June and the limited shelf life of fresh produce, IDPH and DIA (the Department of Investigation and Appeals) determined the implicated salad mix was no longer in the Iowa food supply chain. Thus, there is no ongoing threat to the public health which would require the identification of a particular brand, store, or restaurant where the salad mixture was available. In addition, these sites could not have taken any action to prevent contamination of the mixture since it came prepackaged and ready to eat."
Iowa officials, along with those in Nebraska, Texas and several other states, have consistently encouraged consumers to continue consuming fresh produce — including packaged salads — since they began reporting the cyclospora infections.
Courtesy CDCThe CDC reports some of the cases of cyclospora infections may be linked to travel outside of the state where the sick people live. Iowa and Nebraska health officials said July 30 they linked a nationally distributed packaged salad mix to the outbreaks in their states, which have sickened 223 people.
Almost 400 people across 15 states are confirmed with the parasite, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but federal officials say the outbreaks might not be related.
The Iowa public health investigators said patient interviews and traceback efforts have "determined that at least 80% of these cases (in Iowa) had been exposed to the same prepackaged salad mix."
"Our investigation implicated prepackaged, prewashed, salad mix as the cause of this outbreak," said Nebraska's chief medical officer, Joseph Acierno, in an online update.

By Chris Dolack - VP Media/PR(Concord, NC) For the second consecutive year, Mike Harrison enters the final week of the DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals looking to close out the championship.Harrison, of Highland, Ill., earned his lone victory on this year's tour at his hometown Highland Speedway, but has been consistent enough build a 42-point advantage over Ray Bollinger, of Kewanee, Ill., and is now keeping a close eye on the standings. The formula for determining the champion takes a driver's 10-best finishes during the tour, which features 29 races in 32 days from June 13 to July 14. It also factors in the car count at each venue. Of the 10 races that have Harrison atop the standings, he's earned more than 70 points in six of them."I'm not really convinced it's in the bag just yet so I'm going to sit here and watch the points a little bit and see how it's going to play out," Harrison said. "If I have to go run a couple more I do, but the plans are to be done right now. I came back to work yesterday and I need to get back and do "normal work" again."Meanwhile, second-place Bollinger has also run 10 events but has earned more than 70 points on only three occasions, including a victory on July 5 at Macon Speedway.Gabe Menser, Steve Lach, Aaron Draege and Donovan Lodge are sitting third through sixth in the championship standings but will have their work cut out for them this week to catch Harrison.Seven drivers have competed in at least 10 events so far this season, with two more having raced in nine events entering this week.Harrison will certainly be on edge this week as DIRTcar UMP Modified drivers take aim at his points lead. Even Harrison admits this year's chase to the DIRTcar Summit Racing Equipment Modified Nationals title has been more challenging than his initial title run last season, but values the attention it brings to his team."It's the main thing we want to do for our program," Harrison said. "It gets you so many more little sponsors. I mean Summit Racing Equipment was really good to us last year after we won the championship, and there are some many other little things that come your way after the fact that you can show all the people who help you out. Any time you win championships it's always a plus for the team and getting deals on equipment. This definitely ranks right up there, obviously the national championships are what we chase but this is definitely up there if I truly end up winning it again. These DIRTcar Late Model guys have been doing this for years and there's a reason they call it The Hell Tour, now that I've done it for two years and I haven't even ran the full 29 races like they do. Last year I think I did 12 in a two-and-a-half week stretch, and when you combine that with the travel and the heat we've had this year, I'm telling you it's truly The Hell Tour and I give my respect to those guys that do the whole thing because it's hard on everything. It's hard on everybody, its hard on equipment, it's just hard on everything."The schedule closes out with races tonight at Florence (Ky.) Speedway; Wednesday at Brushcreek Motorsports Park in Peebles, Ohio; Thursday at Terre Haute (Ind.) Action Track; Friday at Attica (Ohio) Raceway Park; and Saturday's finale at Oakshade Raceway in Wauseon, Ohio.

If you listed all the DVRs D* would be the only one without it.
I am pretty sure this is simply not true since the Scientific Atlanta DVR's do not have DLB and are probably the most installed DVR's in America since cable owns a MUCH bigger share of the market and this is the most popular cable DVR (SD or HD).
That said - it's a complete piece of junk (the SciAtl box that is) and I am all for DLB.
But let's get the facts straight.
