Detroit Red Wings 2014-2015 News and Updates
1/19/15 - Tuesday night, the Detroit Red Wings will look for their fifth straight victory as they close out a three-game homestand versus the Minnesota Wild. The Red Wings managed an improbable comeback victory on Sunday night, rallying from a 3-0 deficit to knock off the Buffalo Sabres behind captain Henrik Zetterberg's hat trick—the sixth of his 11-year career. Detroit is knocking on the door for first place in the Atlantic Division, and not far behind the New York Islanders for tops in the Eastern Conference, with the mid-season All Star break just around the corner. Get in the game on Tuesday night at Joe Louis Arena when the Red Wings host the Wild—a handful of seats are still available starting at $40, so act now!
1/13/15 - The third ranked team in the Atlantic Division is the Detroit Red Wings. Thus far, they have amassed a 23-11-9 record, and are one of the better teams in terms of offenses. Their last game was against the Buffalo Sabres, which ended in their favor 3-1. Darren Helm, Tomas Tatar and Gustav Nyguist all scored for the Red Wings, and it was a team victory that they can hang their hats on. Kyle Quincey had a great game passing the puck around, and ended up getting 2 much-needed assists. Up next for the Red Wings is an important game against St. Louis, which goes down tomorrow. Tickets for the game can be bought right now, and the starting price is $55. It should be an exciting one for the fans.

1/5/15 - The Detroit Red Wings have a huge following no matter where they go. They've been on the road since January 3, and on January 17, they finally come back to home ice at Joe Louis Arena to face the Nashville Predators. If you've been missing your Detroit hockey team, don't wait to get tickets from Razorgator. Great seats are available, with prices starting at just $67. The next day, the Red Wings host the Buffalo Sabres. Seeing your favorite team two days in a row is a fantastic way to beat the winter blues. At 21-10-9, the Red Wings sit in 3rd place in the Atlantic Division. Coach Mike Babcock says this is the best Red Wings team since the 2008-2009 season when they almost repeated as Stanley Cup champions.
12/30/14 - After winning two games in a row, the potential for a streak ended when the Detroit Red Wings lost 2-5 against the Boston Bruins in their most recent outing on December 29. Despite the Bruins having many players on the sick and injured list, they were able to draw ahead early. Although the Red Wings have recently been strong at coming back from behind, they were unable to do so against the Bruins. Detroit's two goals came from Justin Abdelkader and Tomas Tatar, and Jimmy Howard also had a strong night with 40 saves, although not enough to bring about a victory. The Red Wings have learned a lesson about needing to be ready to play their best at the start of the game. They can test their readiness when they meet the New Jersey Devils at home on December 31. Tickets are still available, starting at $34.
12/24/14 - The Detroit Red Wings most recent shoot out loss of 2-1 against the Colorado Avalanche brought their winless streak to six games, with them losing 7 out of 8 shootouts. They currently have a record of 17-8-9, putting them 3rd in the Atlantic Division. The team is working on how to score more goals, and be stronger in shootouts to turn around their season. Stephen Weiss is back from injury and ready to play after missing four games with a shoulder injury. He will provide a welcome assist to an offense that has been rather lackluster in the past few games. They next face the Buffalo Sabres at home on December 23rd, before heading to Ottawa to face the Senators on the 27th (tickets starting at $81) and Boston to see the Bruins on the 29th (tickets starting at $24).
12/18/14 - Coming off their fourth loss in four games, the Detroit Red Wings are hoping to regain their traction as they take on the New York Islanders on Friday at home. The combination of being in Wing territory and a sea of red-attired fans in the seats should help Detroit as they battle the 21-10-0 Islanders. Despite being on a two-game winning streak, the Islanders have holes in their defense that the Red Wings would be smart to expose. With the combination of their power play expertise and hopefully some players coming off the injured list, Detroit just might be able to snap that losing streak. Tickets are still available to see the Wings in person at the Joe Louis Arena, starting at only $24 per seat.
12/10/14 - The Detroit Red Wings are currently ranked 1st in the Atlantic Division, with a 17-6-5 record so far this season. Their latest victory, on Sunday, December 7, was a 3-1 win against the Carolina Hurricanes. The dynamic duo Tomas Tatar and Pavel Datsyuk led the Red Wings to success, with Tatar scoring two goals and Datsyuk scoring the third and assisting twice. Their win against the Hurricanes makes three in a row. They will be looking to add a fourth when they return home to face the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday December 10, followed by the Florida Panthers on December 12. These games pit them against other teams in their Atlantic Division, so the outcome will affect their status as number 1. Tickets are still on sale for the Panthers game, starting at $19.
12/2/14 - The Detroit Red Wings had an outstanding victory on Sunday when they took on the Vancouver Canucks. In a very high scoring game, Detroit managed to score twice in the first and third period and one more in the second brought their score to a whopping 5 over Vancouver's 3. Henrik Zetterberg led Detroit with 2 assists and Pavel Datsyuk led in scores with 2, the second of which was unassisted. Despite winning the game, Vancouver did shoot more often, but the Red Wings' strong defense held strong. Now that they are at 14-5-5, Detroit prepares for a series of away games, starting with the Florida Panthers. They will return to Detroit on the 7th, when they take on the Carolina Hurricanes. Tickets start at only $7.
11/25/14 - At one-quarter of the way through the NHL season, the Detroit Red Wings are averaging 2.75 goals per game, which puts them right in the middle of the pack. They sit in 4th place in the Atlantic Division, with a 10-5-5 record. On Wednesday, November 26, the Red Wings are on home ice for a game against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Red Wings recalled Stephen Weiss from Grand Rapids, and he's looking to get his start on the ice for the team. Tomas Tatar is on a hot streak with 8 goals in the last 11 games. You'll want to get your tickets to watch these great players on the ice. The Red Wings need your support to get back into the playoffs for the Stanley cup.
11/18/14 - The Detroit Red Wings hardly have time to breathe between their upcoming games when they're out on the road against the New York Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday and Saturday respectively. Local fans will be happy to see them come back home to the Joe Louis Arena on the 24th to host the Ottawa Senators. Detroit is 4th in the Atlantic Division at 8-4-5, and they are struggling with consistency this season. They have a strong fan base, and they are the favorite in their road trip games. They'll need your support to find the motivation to stay on top of the game and take more shots which should help them put more wins in the column. Get tickets to cheer them on and watch them play great hockey!
11/11/14 - The Detroit Red Wings are on home ice on Sunday, November 16th facing the Montreal Canadiens in an evening game. The Red Wings had a tough game against the Tampa Bay Lightning that ended in a shootout with the Lightning taking the win. Before the Wings meet the Canadiens, they host the Chicago Blackhawks in a Friday night game. You'll want to get tickets to see them play at the Joe Louis Arena before they go out on the road for three games. The Red Wings are 5th in the Atlantic Division, and they are a fan favorite, so the tickets will go fast. They have made the playoffs in 28 of the last 30 seasons. Help cheer them on to get back there again.
11/4/14 - As the Devils arrive in Detroit, the Red Wings are sure to be eager to defend their territory. Currently standing at 6-3-3, Detroit is shooting for those crucial victories that can help them fight their way into the upper tier of the Atlantic division. Following the stroke of Gordie Howe, the Red Wings have certainly got their cause to rally around, and with the news of his progressing recovery can only help to embolden their resolve as New Jersey arrives for the match in Detroit. Fans can expect their Detroit Red Wings to leave it all on the ice on Friday, and can get personal view of the action by securing their seat before they're gone. Tickets for the game are still available starting at $28.
10/27/14 - With 10 points and seven assists, the Detroit Red Wings' Henrik Zetterberg is back to his old form. Zetterberg missed significant parts of last season with back injuries, but offseason surgery took care of the issues to return him to his form as a productive skater.
10/23/14 - The city of Detroit will demolish the Red Wings' home, city-owned Joe Louis Arena, as part of a deal struck with a creditor in the city's bankruptcy case. Not to fear that the Wings would be left homeless – a new downtown arena is under development not far from JLA.
10/16/14 - Through the first 3 games of the 2014 NHL season, Detroit's 1-1-1. After winning a home game on 10/9 vs the Boston Bruins 2-1, they lost to Anaheim 3-2 and Boston 3-2 in OT. Still, with 3 points they're 6th in the Atlantic division.
2013-2014 Season
4/21/14 – Boston and Detroit's first round playoff series is all tied up 1-1 and the Red Wings will play their first postseason game of the year at Joe Louis Arena, Tuesday. The cheapest Detroit Red Wings tickets are $62 for Game 3, averaging $120 (up $9 since the NHL Playoffs began). In a best-of-seven series that the Bruins are widely favored to win, the Detroit Red Wings secured Game 1 of their twenty-third consecutive playoff run. Pavel Datsyuk's goal with 3:01 remaining did the trick, and Detroit won 1-0 Friday on the road. Boston evened the series with a 4-1 win over the Wings in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, playing more physical and limiting Detroit to just one power-play shot in four tries.
4/17/14 – The Red Wings secured the second and final NHL postseason spot in the East with 93 points and now have the longest active
Stanley Cup Playoffs
streak (23). Detroit will face the No.1 seeded, Presidents' Trophy winners
Boston Bruins
for the first time in 57 years in the playoffs. The three home games played in Detroit (Games 3, 4, and 6) of the Original Six matchup are much cheaper (avg. $175) than the four game average of those played in Boston ($366). Tuesday, the Red Wings will play their first playoff game at Joe Louis Arena (avg. $111, min $42), followed by home game 2 (Game 4) Thursday averaging $143 and a Game 6 if necessary in Detroit Monday (avg. $240). First round playoff tickets for the series are an average $254. Detroit holds the regular-season record at 4-2.
4/7/14 – The NHL enters the final week of the regular season with the Red Wings leading the wildcard race in the East. Winners of four straight, Detroit's playoff hopes looked more attractive when All-Star forward Pavel Datsyuk (knee) returned to the lineup Friday against the Buffalo Sabres. Expect a fast-paced, high scoring game at the Consol Energy Arena Wednesday when the Red Wings travel to Pittsburgh in a potential first-round preview. The two teams have met twice in the NHL playoffs in the last five seasons and have split two games already this season (DET with the OT win March 20). Detroit Red Wings playoff tickets are now available, with round one prices upwards of $41 (home games 1 and 2).
4/1/14 – If the Red Wings can find a way into the NHL Playoffs, they'd extend their postseason streak to 23 seasons, the longest active streak in all North American professional sports. After grabbing four points on a back-to-back weekend, Detroit holds the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. Mike Babcock secured a historic mark in his own right, earning his 411th victory as the Red Wings' coach, second most in the franchise. With just three more wins, Babcock will surpass Jack Adams for the top spot.
3/24/14 – The Red Wings won 10 straight home games without a regulation loss before losing in OT to the Minnesota Wild Sunday night. Detroit will look to protect its playoff position with a handful of wins this week. Two of the Red Wings next four will be played at Joe Louis Arena – 3/27 vs. Montreal (avg. $75) and 3/30 vs. Tampa Bay (avg. $78). Following a 3-2 win over the Wild Saturday in Minnesota, the team moved into eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
3/18/14 – Tonight's Original Six clash against the Toronto Maple Leafs is the most expensive (avg. $98) regular-season game remaining at Joe Louis Arena. Detroit is looking for a spark from their offence (scored three goals over their last four games) as the club looks to make a push for their 23rd straight playoff appearance. Currently three points behind the New York Rangers for the last playoff berth in the East and without their captain Zetterberg (back) and superstar Pavel Datsyuk (knee), the Red Wings need your support!
3/10/14 – Former Detroit Red Wing Nicklas Lidstrom had his jersey retired last Thursday, becoming the first defenseman in franchise history to do so. The Colorado Avs ended up winning that game in overtime, but the night belonged to No. 5. After Detroit put up a massive seven goals against New Jersey Friday, the Red Wings were shut out by the Rangers Sunday. In addition, Joakim Andersson broke his left foot when blocking a shot during the second-period PK in New York and will miss 2-3 weeks. Catch the boys, sans Andersson, when they return to home ice Thursday to take on the Edmonton Oilers (avg. $73).
3/3/14 – Pavel Datsyuk (knee) will not play Tuesday night, when the Detroit Red Wings visit New Jersey but is expected back on the ice Thursday against Colorado at Joe Luis Arena. Colorado Avalanche vs. Detroit Red Wings tickets start at $55; the game will be the first at home for the Wings since the Olympic break. The next night, Detroit will host New Jersey, coming full circle. New Jersey Devils vs. Detroit Red Wings tickets are slightly cheaper, with a get-in price of $45.
2/25/14 – Currently in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, Detroit needs to return to the ice post-Olympics with a sense of urgency. Just one point separates the Red Wings and ninth-ranked Columbus. A back injury will likely sideline the team's leader in points (48), assists (32), and goals (16) - Henrik Zetterberg - for the rest of the regular season, which means the Wings' will look to their veterans - Pavel Datsyuk, Johan Franzen and Daniel Alfredsson – to fill the void. Cheer on the Wings when they return to Joe Louis Arena Mar 6; with 11 home games remaining, Detroit Red Wings ticket prices are averaging $94 in the tight playoff race!
2/18/14 – Like their rivals Chicago Blackhawks, the Red Wings have a strong presence at the Sochi Olympics with 10 players on rosters. However, both Detroit's first-time Olympian forwards Tomas Tatar and Tomas Jurco, ended their Winter Games journey today as Slovakia fell to the Czech Republic in the playoff qualification round. But, each delivered in the group phase of the tournament, scoring the only two goals for their Country in the first three matchups. Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg pulled out of the Sochi Games last Friday after suffering a herniated disk. The Captain of Team Sweden will return to the U.S. shortly, but will not take the ice when The Wings return to action a week from Wednesday due to the injury.
2/3/14 – The Red Wings may have dropped an 11-goal battle to the Caps Sunday, squashing hopes for a home-and-home sweep, but it was a standout day for right wing Gustav Nyquist who earned his first career hat trick and added an assist. Like the Washington Capitals, the Red Wings have gone to a shootout or overtime in three of their last four games. Tonight, Detroit will face the Canucks as John Tortorella returns to the bench after a 15-game suspension. Detroit Red Wings tickets at Joe Louis Arena are as cheap as $10 to see the 24-19-12 team for the last time at home until March 6.
1/28/14 – Last week NHL fans were asking if the Red Wings, Blackhawks rivalry could be renewed. Detroit Red Wings tickets to the Wednesday night matchup averaged 55 percent less than they had March 3 and 45 percent less than the Original Six members meeting March 31, 2013. Detroit made a statement against the defending Stanley Cup Champs, rallying to defeat the Blackhawks 5-4 (SO) and reviving the rivalry that some questioned could be restored. Things continued to look up for the Wings when Daniel Alfredsson returned to the ice against Montreal Friday and Johan Franzen was back in the lineup Sunday. Unfortunately, Franzen is out again with concussion symptoms. Next up for Detroit at home? Washington. Red Wings tickets are as low as $35 against the Capitals.
Detroit Red Wings 2014-2015 Season
The Detroit Red Wings are a franchise steeped in excellence and prestige, having made the playoffs for an incredible 23 seasons. Last year's campaign was decimated by injuries, chiefly those to Henrik Zetterberg, Joe Franzen, Pavel Datsyuk, Darren Helm, Stephen Weiss. Despite setting a franchise record for most man games lost to injury (471), this Original Six team still proved talented enough to make the postseason with vigor, but was ultimately cut in the first round by the Boston Bruins. Detroit is returning a generally unchanged squad from last year's playoff team, and if the Motor City squad stays healthy,

who's to say they won't punch a playoff berth for an astounding 24th year?
Some of the game's most beloved players pepper Detroit lines, and now, those veterans will fine-tune an impressive influx of youngsters like Gustav Nyquist, Tomas Tatar and touted prospects Alexei Marchenko, Anthony Ouellet, Ryan Sproul and Petr Mrazek. GM Ken Holland was unable to bag a top-four defenseman in free agency, and must work with a lineup that boasts seven left-handers. In his 10th year as head coach, Mike Babcock is nears his 500th NHL career win, while David Legwand is likely to attain his 1,000th career game—making the entirety of the 2014-2015 calendar a can't miss affair. But, before they can toss the octopus onto the ice, they'll have to get through their 82-game slate (relatively) unscathed. See Detroit host playoff caliber teams early on: the defending champion LA Kings visit on Oct. 31, the Chicago Blackhawks on Nov. 14 and of course, the Bruins on Oct. 9. The game against Boston not only marks a playoff rematch from last year, but it also opens up the Red Wing's 2014-2015 season. Lock-in Detroit Red Wings tickets for this monumental year now!

According to reports from The Associated Press, the measures are among proposals state lawmakers are considering this legislative session in the wake of last month's massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Several Tennessee lawmakers have drafted legislation that would encourage school districts to place at least one armed police officer in every school and would allow teachers who have undergone special training to bring their personal handguns into schools.
However, TEA president Gera Summerford said teachers should be focused on teaching and not have to worry about trying to stop an intruder.
The TEA's position is counter to the smaller Professional Educators of Tennessee that supports a bill filed by State Rep. Eric Watson, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
PET Executive Director J.C. Bowman spoke in support of Watson's legislation Monday afternoon during a press conference at Bradley Central High School.
"Rep. Watson has been very helpful, working with us to alleviate some of our concerns and obviously, liability for teachers is one of the issues we expect to come up, and we expect to address those issues with him," he said.
Bowman said the teachers he has spoken to are evenly split over arming teachers.
"But the fact that this leaves it in the hands of the local education association, we feel that's the best policy," he said. "It doesn't prohibit it, nor does it require it, therefore, we feel like this is a piece of legislation we can work with.
"But, there are a lot of things that are going to have to happen, because we didn't get in this situation overnight and we won't resolve it overnight," Bowman added, "We feel like this is a positive step forward and we look forward to working with Rep. Watson on the final outcome of the bill."

With Halloween just around the corner, you might be tempted to make your cat or dog a star by dressing him up in the cutest mini-sized costume you can find. But wait—is trick-or-treat apparel really safe for your furry friends?
Our experts suggest putting your pet in a costume only if you're sure he will enjoy it. Some pets love the limelight: wearing a costume and posing for pictures is a blast! Others prefer to stick to their birthday suits for all occasions, and being dressed like a pumpkin for their pet parents' amusement can cause unnecessary stress.
If you decide to have your pet wear a costume, here are some helpful safety tips to keep in mind:
- Your pet's Halloween garb should not constrict his movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Be sure to try on costumes in advance—and if your furry friend seems distressed, you'll want to ditch the mini-pirate hat and vest.
- Examine your pet's costume and make sure it doesn't have any small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get caught on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.
- IDs, please! Make sure your dog or cat has proper identification on underneath that cute costume. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost during Halloween festivities, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can be a lifesaver.
For a complete list of animal safety guidelines for this spooky holiday, check out our expert Halloween Safety Tips for pet parents.

How Notre Dame's Brian Kelly won over 'the Weis guys'
BY MARK LAZERUS firstname.lastname@example.com December 11, 2012 10:56PM
FILE - In this Oct. 6, 2012, file photo, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly, center left, talks to his team during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Miami at Soldier Field in Chicago. About the only thing the Irish havent done yet this season is rally from behind to win. The Irish have been able to ignore what coach Kelly refers to as the noise so far, but it keeps getting louder with every victory.(AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast, File)

Sure, Ara Parseghian was impressed by Notre Dame's lockdown defense. Yes, he was encouraged by linebacker Manti Te'o's inspirational
leadership. Absolutely, he saw plenty of promise in young
quarterback Everett Golson.
But it was a Ping-Pong ball — more specifically, a bunch of players hooting and hollering in the locker room as they tried to ricochet a Ping-Pong ball off one another's heads and into a small cup of water — that convinced Notre Dame's legendary former coach the Irish were capable of a legendary season.
''[NBC] did a documentary before the Miami game, and when I saw the chemistry in that locker room, I had a good feeling,'' Parseghian said. ''That chemistry is what you need to have a winning football team, and that's something you don't always get.''
And it's not something Notre Dame had during coach Brian Kelly's first two seasons.
Kelly was aloof, usually holed up in the ivory tower of his office, away from his players except for meetings and practices. The roster was disjointed, with players splitting into position-based cliques and scattering after workouts. And in the days after a late-October home loss to USC last season, Kelly fractured the locker room by going in front of the cameras and essentially saying the guys he recruited were being held back by the leftovers from the forgettable Charlie Weis era.
''You can see the players that I have recruited; you know who they are,'' Kelly said that day. ''We've had one class of kids that we've recruited that I've had my hand on. The other guys here are coming along. But it's a process.''
The Weis guys immediately — and angrily — took to Twitter. Center Braxston Cave said he was ''disgusted.'' Defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore said it was ''awful.'' And Te'o famously tweeted, ''Playin for my bros, and that's it!!!'' before listing several of his veteran teammates whom he deemed ''the originals.''
But the low point of Kelly's tenure turned out to be the turning point. Kelly cleared the air and apologized the next day in what players have called a cathartic moment for a tense locker room. During the offseason, Kelly rededicated himself to becoming more accessible, more hands-on in practice, more involved in the lives of his players. He held weekly team meetings to sit around, shoot the breeze and watch old football clips as fans, not as analysts. He asked players about how their classes were going and how their girlfriends were doing.
But more than anything else that came from that uncomfortable team meeting last October, the Irish realized they all shared a common goal, no matter how they ended up in South Bend. They all wanted to be the ones to wake up the echoes and shake down the thunder — the kind that hadn't been heard in South Bend in decades.
''That week was big for us as a team,'' senior safety Zeke Motta said. ''It had a lot to do with our offseason training and the way we prepared. We all kind of share the same mentality now, and our team's come together and formed a real tight group. We realized what it takes to play at that level, and we play for each other now.''
The more player-friendly climate manifested itself in small ways — player-chosen music during pre-practice warmups in training camp, for example. But it made for a happier and much closer locker room.
A camp excursion to nearby Diamond Lake was all the proof Kelly needed his locker room wasn't only healed but was thriving.
''Guys who didn't play golf played golf because their buddies were playing golf,'' Kelly said. ''Guys that don't swim were swimming. Guys were playing cards under the tent. When your guys care about each other in the locker room, you've got a really good chance.''
Now players linger after workouts to play video games. They run out and grab lunch together in big groups. In the words of Te'o, Lewis-Moore, linebacker Carlo Calabrese, running back Theo Riddick and so many others, they're ''brothers'' now, not just teammates.
Throughout this undefeated season, players cited that closeness as a factor in how the Irish handled adversity — how they pulled out so many close games, how they pulled through a seemingly never-ending quarterback controversy and how they pulled together for Te'o as he coped with tragedy back home in Hawaii.
Sure, it helps to have a roster loaded with four- and five-star recruits. Yes, it makes a difference when there are a handful of sure-fire NFL draft picks on defense. Absolutely, a deep and talented backfield doesn't hurt.
But Notre Dame had all of those things in Kelly's first two seasons, too. What it didn't have was something less tangible but every bit as important, particularly at this level.
In college, chemistry counts.
''Coach basically spent time with each of his players,'' Te'o said. ''He took time out of his busy schedule to meet with us, to get to know us. We had our bumps and bruises along the way. But at the end of the day, he's created a feel around Notre Dame that is very strong, a brotherhood, a family feel. And you have to have that in order to be 12-0.''

Franklin was recently chosen to be a White House Fellow where she will spend the next year working at the Department of Justice in Washington D.C.
"I am truly honored and blessed to have been selected as a White House Fellow," said Franklin. "As is expected of all White House Fellows, I will humbly rise to the challenge of repaying the privilege of participating in the Fellowship program by ultimately contributing the knowledge and tools gained from this experience to my community, the State of Mississippi, and the nation.
"Firmly believing in the adage, 'to whom much is given, much is required,' I hope to continue to use my life to be of service to others and as an example that all things are possible."
Franklin, 31, is a senior associate with the law firm Alston & Bird LLP in Atlanta, Ga. She and her sister Marks are the daughters of Shirley Franklin and the granddaughters of the late Edgar and Herstine Franklin.
"I will be working at the Department of Justice," said Franklin. "You are paired with senior leaders in the country and each fellow will be with a different agency."
According to the White House Fellows, White House Fellows program is one of America's most prestigious programs for leadership and public service.
Selected individuals typically spend a year working as a full-time, paid Fellow to senior White House Staff, Cabinet Secretaries and other top-ranking government officials. Fellows also participate in an education program consisting of roundtable discussions with renowned leaders from the private and public sectors, and trips to study U.S. policy in action both domestically and internationally. Fellowships are awarded on a strictly non-partisan basis.
Franklin's sister has just as much to be celebrated with the her recent nomination and induction the the Consortium of Doctors class of 2013. Marks received her nomination and induction at their 22nd Annual Conference held in Chicago in July.
"I consider it a privilege to be allowed entry into such an esteemed organization," said Marks. "I was pleasantly surprised when initially contacted regarding the nomination because I did not deem myself seasoned enough to stand beside such brilliant and accomplished women.
"I have to keep reminding myself of the words of Ralph Marston, 'Consider it a privilege to be right where you are, doing precisely what you're doing and you'll find opportunities for true fulfillment in every direction', " she said.
The Consortium of Doctors, Ltd. are "African American women who have completed doctorate degrees from nationally accredited institutions and have made contributions beyond the realm of the ordinary to enhance the lives of humankind."
Marks, the wife of Rev. Dr. Bryant T. Marks, and the mother of two daughters, is a nationally certified and state licensed counselor who holds a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology and a Masters Degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
She is currently a Senior Relationship Manager for Curriculum and Faculty Enhancement at the Institute for Capacity Building of the United Negro College Fund.
When asked how she felt about the achievements of her two daughters, proud mother Shirley Franklin had difficulty finding the right words.
"I am just so proud of my girls I don't even know what to say," she said. "I mean wow. They've done so well. I'm so proud."

Another year is in the books for the Mopar Nationals. This year marked the 30th anniversary of this excellent event. It was hot. Well that's actually an understatement because it was excruciating! Thankfully, I'm born and raised in Tampa, Florida, which is known for some of the most humid weather. It's just depressing to fly over 1,000 miles north and have to deal with the same terrible heat...oh well.
This year we were pleased to find some of the nicest cars to ever enter into our Young Guns category of the show. Here are some of the entries this year:

The Delta Music Institute hosted Delta State University's First Tuesday event to give an update on the GRAMMY Museum.
Attendees sat in amazement during a brief video presentation that highlighted the significance of Mississippi to the development of all musical genres.
"Mississippi is the cradle for American music," said Director of the Delta Music Institute Tricia Walker.
Mississippi has produced more GRAMMY winners than any other state and seven and a half percent of all Lifetime Achievement Award recipients are from Mississippi.
Janoush said that she is elated to have a hand in such an astounding project because she gets a chance to take part in all of the "fun" aspects of emerging the museum.
"Our museum may be a little smaller than the one in California but it will capture the essence of every musical contribution that has been produced in the wonderful state of Mississippi," said Janoush.
Virtual tours, interactive exhibits and a stage are just a few of many fascinating features that the museum is set to encompass.
"This is the most exciting project that I have ever been involved in. One of my favorite features of the museum is the dance floor — visitors will be able to get dance lessons from James Brown and Usher on a floor that lights up when you move. I can dance about as well as I can walk," she said.
"As a result of the museum, we will see a new hotel come to Cleveland because all of our hotels are already almost at full occupancy rate," added Janoush.
"This is going to make Cleveland into a huge tourist destination. We already have tourist that pass through here looking for Robert Johnson's grave — I don't know whether they have found it yet or not," she continued.
GRAMMY Museum Mississippi Project Consultant Allan Hammons gave a brief overview of some of the structural features of the museum.
"This museum is going to be the most sophisticated project in the state of Mississippi. We are 100 percent on the building design and 50 percent sure about some of the other structures inside of the museum," said Hammons.
"It is not going to look like your standard Delta State building — it will have a front porch," he added.
According to Hammons, the GRAMMY committee was inspired to place a front porch on the museum because a large amount of American music derived from the front porch in some shape, form or fashion.
"The GRAMMY Museum in California is getting a little jealous of us right now," said Hammons.
According to Janoush, the Cleveland Music Foundation has a very strong relationship with Delta State University and all of this would not have been possible without the help of the university.
"Delta State has signed a 99 year lease for $1 with the Grammy Museum. When we get the museum open, we will have DMI students interning with us and President LaForge is planning to have an international symposium on Blues in the month of October," she added.
After Hammons and Janoush concluded their presentations, the floor was opened to the audience for a question and answer session.
A member of the audience said that he was a little baffled as to how the Bologna Performing Arts Center would generate revenue after the museum opens.
Janoush said that the BPAC and GRAMMY Museum committee members have a strong partnership and they are currently working on a few future projects.
She also announced that admission for the museum would between $8 to $10 and that the Cleveland Music Foundation is currently accepting donations on behalf of the GRAMMY Museum.
For information about GRAMMY Museum Mississippi, the Delta Music Institute or to make a donation, contact the DMI office at (662) 846-4579 or email@example.com.

Order Information
Over beer and hamburgers at the Two Rivers Lodge near Fairbanks, Alaska, a small group of mushers conceived a gutsy idea for a new sled dog race that would be more challenging than any other marathon race in the Far North.
In 1984, mushers organized the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race between Fairbanks and Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. Soon, mushers adopted an unofficial race motto, "Survive first, race second."
The Quest trail boasts fewer checkpoints, longer wilderness runs, and more campouts. The trail crosses three mountain passes, including the dreaded 3,685-foot Eagle Summit, a killer of mushers' dreams. Outdoor survival skills and self-reliance are on a par with commercial sponsorships and high-tech sleds and mushing gear.
YUKON QUEST is an exciting, inspirational story full of bigger-than-life characters told by Lew Freedman, best-selling author of eight books about sled-dog racing.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lew Freedman, author of numerous books about Alaska, is the former sports editor of the Anchorage Daily News. He lived in Alaska for seventeen years and has visited the Yukon Territory many times. He lives near Chicago with his wife, Debra.

I should have guessed that the "Dish will go bankrupt" posts would find their way here.
AMC has already lost more revenue than Dish will lose over this. Dish won't even notice, that's how few customers will be leaving.
I can see the headlines now"DISH goes bankrupt,makes a profit in the process".
That's our Charlie.

Marg is short for Margaret so it pronounced with a g at the end, not a j like Marge would be. :) (The teacher in me must point out the rule is: 'g' says 'j' when followed by 'e', 'i' or 'y' which is why Marg cannot be pronounced Marj. My husband means more to me than anything else in this world. He definitely is my 'other half' since he completes me. We have two wonderful kids, who are getting more enjoyable the older they get. LOL! My belief in God, His doctrines and how they affect me are the focus of my life. For as long as I can remember, I've loved to cook. I especially love to bake. It is a pleasure, not a chore. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing those of mine I have come to love with others; so RecipeZaar is a perfect fit for me. It has also helped me indulge in my love of photography by giving me so many recipes to fix and then photograph. I have been professionally trained as a cake decorator and a florist. I also was a photo lab manager for several years. This background has been extremely helpful as I arrange, photograph and edit my food photos here on Zaar. Oh, and a lot of natural lighting and a good camera helps too!! :) I used to use a Sony DSC-W50 & a Sony Cyber-Shot H50 with Carl Zeiss lenses. I now have a Nikon D3100. It has been a great privilege and joy to be one of the Forum Host of the Cooking Photos Forum when time permits.If you are interested in seeing some of my favorites of the photos I've taken, visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/caymandesigns/ Outside the kitchen, I love to travel especially to the beach. Tropical beaches lined with palm trees to rocky New England coastlines, I love them all. I've had the pleasure of visiting 3 continents and over 35 states. I also enjoy scrapbooking, reading, interior decorating, making jewelry, cake decorating, web page design and studying history. Why Cayman Designs? When I started creating some of my own web graphics, websites and jewelry I decided to come up with a name that I could use for all of 'design' efforts. Since we had gone to Cayman Brac on our honeymoon and loved it, Cayman Designs just seemed like a natural tribute to our picture perfect time there. I have, so far, talked several people into joining Recipezaar, my sister Windchime, my SIL Chef #280199 plus some of my best internet friends Chef Doozer and Chef #494521. I hope you will check out their recipes as well!
Chocolate, coffee, bread, cheese, chocolate, steak, shrimp, bacon, chocolate, potatoes, nuts, ice cream, chocolate...you get the picture! ;)
Favorite restaurant, Dinner - The Outback Steakhouse
Breakfast - Cracker Barrel
Favorite dessert - ice cream, especially vanilla with chocolate chips sprinkled on it.
Favorite meal, depends on if I'm cooking it or we're at a restaurant

Suu Kyi says plans to run in Myanmar elections
30 November 2011 - 19H05
AFP - Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi said Wednesday she would
run in upcoming parliamentary elections after her National League for
Democracy (NLD) is re-registered as a political party.
"I hope to run for parliament," Suu Kyi said in a videoconference from
Myanmar , where she was set to meet Thursday with US Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton on a historic visit aimed at encouraging Myanmar's
political reforms.
"We are waiting to hear whether our party's application for registration
has been accepted. And once that is accepted we can start making plans to
contest the by-elections," she told an audience at the Council on Foreign
The NLD announced this month it would re-register as a political party and
contest by-elections after boycotting last year's parliamentary poll.
There are 48 parliamentary seats available but no polling dates have been
set for by-elections.
"We hope that by having some of our people in parliament we will be able
to do twice the work that we have been doing because we'll have
extra-parliamentary activity as well as activities in parliament," she
She said the party will push for ceasefires in the country's ethnic
conflicts as well as press for the rule of law to be established and for
the remaining political prisoners to be released after scores were freed.
She put the rule of law as among the highest priorities because activists
can be returned to be prison once they are released.
Suu Kyi was even clearer about her intentions during a later
question-and-answer session with the members of the audience when she said
"I will certainly run for elections when they take place."
The NLD's decision to end its boycott of the political process came on the
same day the military-dominated government received a dramatic seal of
approval from the United States for a string of nascent reforms.
After speaking directly to Nobel laureate Suu Kyi for the first time, in a
call from Air Force One, US President Barack Obama said Clinton would
become the first secretary of state to visit Myanmar for 50 years.
The NLD won a landslide victory in polls in 1990 but the then-ruling junta
never allowed the party to take power. Suu Kyi, although a figurehead for
the campaign, was under house arrest at the time.
Myanmar's next election was not held until November last year, and the NLD
boycotted it -- mainly because of rules that would have forced it to expel
imprisoned members. Suu Kyi was again under house arrest.
Although the election was widely criticized as a sham, Myanmar's military
rulers gave way to a nominally civilian administration which released Suu
Kyi from years in detention and has since made a surprising series of
conciliatory gestures.
Suu Kyi said she hopes that Clinton's visit will encourage the
military-backed government to pursue reforms.
"I've always believed in cautious optimism," she said when asked for her
assessment of the political changes underway.
"We have to be prepared to take risks," she said. "We have got to make the
best of the opportunities that have arisen over the last few months."

1. The White Star Line was the company that built the Titanic, and was owned by J.P. Morgan, an American tycoon. It cost $7.5 million to build the Titanic. It was the most luxurious ocean liner of its time. The price of a first class ticket cost each passenger $4,700 which was a HUGE amount of money for the time. It would be about $57,000 today.2. As the Titanic was leaving the port, the suction it caused actually snapped the ropes of a nearby docked ship, the S.S. New York. Tugboats had to race to the scene to prevent the New York from colliding with the Titanic. Some people felt this was a bad omen.3. There were six iceberg warnings received by Titanic on the day of the collision. They were all ignored by the wireless operator. Unfortunately, that operator was preoccupied with transmitting passenger messages. The night the collision occurred was moonless and the water was still. Both of these facts made it very difficult to see into the dark night and black ocean. The iceberg that the Titanic struck was not very big. It did not even come up as high as the bridge of the ship.4. The Titanic was traveling 22.5 knots. This was just .5 knot from her maximum speed capability. The ship was clearly traveling too fast for conditions. The collision occurred at 11:40 P.M. on Sunday, April 14, 1912. 5. The captain ordered the engines reversed which sealed the Titanic's fate. A ship as large as the Titanic turned more quickly the greater her forward motion. Had the Titanic proceeded ahead and turned, it is most likely that she would have avoided hitting the iceberg all together. The gash that the iceberg cut into the hull of the Titanic was between 220 to 245 feet long. The total length of the ship was approximately 882 feet. Recent evidence shows that an opening the size of a refrigerator is what allowed water to enter the ship. Also, the "watertight" compartments of the Titanic's hull were not actually watertight. They were open at the tops, which made the disaster worse. The ship could have stayed afloat if only four compartments flooded, but five actually flooded.6. A total of 1,503 people died, including passengers and crew. Only 705 people survived. Only 1 child from first class died, while 49 children from steerage died. Many dogs were also aboard the Titanic. Two survived. Charles Joughin was the only person to survive the ice cold Atlantic water.7. Law required a ship the size of the Titanic to have 962 lifeboat seats. The Titanic had 1,178 seats, but 2,208 lifeboat seats were needed to get everyone off the ship. Many of the lifeboats left the ship only half full. There were 472 lifeboat seats not used. Not many people went down with the ship. Most of the people went into the Atlantic Ocean with life jackets on. However, the water temperature was only 31 degrees, so most people froze to death in the water. 8. The Carpathian was the ship that responded to the Titanic's distress call, but she was 58 miles and 4 hours away.9. Orders from the Captain were that, women and children were to board the lifeboats first. One man, Daniel Buckley, disguised himself as a woman to get aboard a lifeboat. The band played music up to the last few minutes before the ship went under. None of the band members survived.10. The Titanic lies 12,600 feet at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The two pieces of the Titanic lay 1,970 feet apart from one another on the ocean floor. The Titanic was rediscovered on July 14th, 1986, seventy-four years after it sank. Since the death of Millvina Dean, May 31, 2009, there are no longer any living survivors of the Titanic tragedy. Millvina Dean was just nine weeks old at the time of theTitanic's sinking.

A Coenzyme Q10 formula for cats and dogs to support cardiovascular and periodontal health.
CoenzymeQ10 is found in the mitochondria, the chemical factories of all cells where energy is made. Hundreds of mitochondria are present in each cell and are most highly concentrated in the periodontal tissue, heart, and liver. CoQ10 enhances the formation of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the basic energy molecule used by every cell.
CoQ10 is found in the highest concentration in "high energy" organs such as the brain, heart, muscles, liver, kidneys and pancreas. It is a powerful antioxidant and immune enhancer.
CoQ10 can support the cellular energy necessary for heart health (ailing hearts are often deficient in CoQ10) and helps carbohydrate metabolism support blood sugar balance, and gum health (deficiencies of CoQ10 have been linked to poor gum health).

Secret Stadium Sauce recipes
tailgating April 24th, 2012
For some reason this season at Miller Park they have large dispensers for ketchup and mustard, but not Stadium Sauce which are only found in bottles. I am not sure of the reason, but I have a feeling it has something to do with Yovani Gallardo's haircut. Talking with friends about this injustice of condiments got me thinking. Why do we only use stadium sauce with our brats? Shouldn't there be more uses for this wonderful condiment beyond grilled meat? For the answer we turned to MPD's culinary expert and the the only reader who ever made me cupcakes: lizconsin, who has crafted some recipes for us. Take it away, Liz.
If you've ever stood at the Secret Stadium Sauce dispenser at Miller Park, trying to put it on every food item in your hand without setting down your beer, I don't need to tell you anything about Stadium Sauce because you already know. If you've ever done this routine with a Bloody Mary in hand and thought "…that could work", you should probably call me some time. But for the uninitiated here are some things about Stadium Sauce that you should know before we move forward:
- It's not barbecue sauce. SSS is reminiscent of ketchup mixed with a little bit of everything else on the condiment table. It has a tomato base, but is not as thick, sweet or tangy as other barbecue-style sauces.
- It never has to be refrigerated, even after opening.
- It's a Miller Park staple, but you don't have to maneuver through the team shop between innings to find a bottle. It's available in grocery stores around Wisconsin.
- Bob Costas loves it.
Of course, it's amazing on a brat or a hot dog at the park, but here are a few ideas for using SSS at home. Read the rest of this entry »

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.

Subject: analysis for comment - the eurozone's road forward
this has already been thru discussion, so really only the first page is
the new stuff
Title: The roadmap to a functional eurozone
Subhead: Germanya**s Goalposts
While Germany is by far the most powerful country in Europe, the EU is not
a German creation. It is instead a portion of the broader 1950s French
vision that enhances French power on first a European, and second a
global, scale. However, in the years since the Cold War ended France has
lost control of the reins of Europe to a reunited and reinvigorated
Germany. Germany is now working -- one piece at a time -- to rewire the
European structures more to Berlina**s liking. Germanya**s primary tools
for asserting control are its financial acumen and strength, trading
access to its wealth for agreements by other European states to reform
their economies along German lines -- a design which would de facto make
most of them German economic colonies.
Which brings us to the eurozone crisis, now in its 19th month. There are
more plans out there to modify the euro than the zone has members, but
most of them ignore one single fact: Germanya**s reasons for participating
in the eurozone are not purely economic. And those non-economic reasons
greatly limit its options in pursuing changes in the European system.
If Stratfor had to choose a single word to describe Germany -- in any age
-- it would be a**vulnerablea**. Its coastline is split by Denmark, its
three navigable rivers are not naturally connected and Germany does not
command the mouths of two of them, its people cling to regional rather
than national identities, and most of all it faces sharp competition from
both east and west. Germany has never been left alone throughout its
history. When Germany is weak its neighbors shatter it into dozens of
pieces, often ruling some of those pieces directly. When Germany is strong
its neighbors form a coalition to break German power.
The post-Cold War, therefore, is the golden age of Germany history. It was
allowed to reunify in the aftermath of the Cold War, and as of the time of
this writing its neighbors have not felt sufficiently threatened to seek
the breaking of German power. The institutions of the European Union --
most notably the euro itself -- have allowed the Germans to participate in
Continental affairs on a field of competition on which they are eminently
competitive. In any other era a coalition would have already been forming.
Germany wants -- needs desperately -- to keep European competition on the
field of economics as on the field of battle it simply cannot prevail
against a coalition of its neighbors.
This simple fact eliminates most of the eurozone crisis solutions under
discussion. Anything that would eject states from the zone who are also
traditional competitors risks transforming them into their more-familiar
role of rival. Ergo any reform option that would potentially end with
Germany not being in the same currency zone as Austria, the Netherlands,
France, Spain or Italy is a non-starter. Germany must keep these states
close to prevent a core of competition from arising.
There are also restraints built of nothing more than simple math. A
a**transfer uniona** as many have debated would regularly shift economic
resources from Germany to Greece, the eurozonea**s weakest member. The
means of such allocations -- direct transfers, rolling debt
restructurings, managed defaults -- are irrelevant. What is relevant is
that what is done for Greece would establish precedent and be repeated for
Ireland and Portugal -- and in time Italy, Belgium, Spain and France. This
makes anything resembling a transfer union a dead issue. Covering all the
states who would benefit from the transfers would likely cost around a
trillion euro annually. Even if this were a political possibility in
Germany (and it is not) it is well beyond Germanya**s economic capacity.
Between the goal posts of maximized membership and fiscal union there is
only a very narrow window of possibilities. What follows is the
approximate roadmap that Stratfor sees the German government being forced
to follow. It is not Berlina**s explicit plan per sae, but to avoid mass
defaults and the dissolution of the eurozone (and likely the European
Union with it) it is the only path forward.
Subhead: Cutting Greece Loose
Greece is unsalvageable. It has extremely limited capital generation
capacity at home, and its rugged topography lands it with extremely high
capital costs. Even in the best of times Greece cannot function as a
developed, modern economy without hefty and regular injections of
subsidized capital from abroad. (This is the primary reason why Greece
simply did not exist between the 4th century BC and the 19th century AD,
as well as the primary reason why the European Commission recommend
against beginning accession negotiations with Greece back in the 1970s.)
After Greecea**s modern recreation in the early 1800s, those injections
came from the United Kingdom which used the newly-independent Greek state
as a foil against faltering Ottoman Turkey. During the Cold War the United
States was the external sponsor, wanting to keep the Soviets out of the
Mediterranean. In the 1980s Greece coasted on its initial membership in
the EU [receiving development funds, no?], and in the 2000s it borrowed
huge volumes of capital at well below market rates. Unsurprisingly, during
most of this period Greece boasted the highest GDP growth rates in the
Those good times are over. No one has a geopolitical need for alliance
with Greece at present, and evolutions in the eurozone have ended the
cheap-euro-denominated credit gravy train. So now Greece has few capital
generation possibilities while saddled with a debt in the realm of 120
percent of GDP. Add in probable [can nix a**probablea** a** Greek banking
sector NPLs are at 12%. Nuff said.] bank overindulgence and the number
climbs further. This is a debt that is well beyond the ability of Greek
state and society to pay.
Luckily for the Germans, Greece is not on the list of states that could
potentially threaten Germany. It is disposable. And if the eurozone is
going to be saved, it needs to be disposed of.
This cannot, however, be done cleanly. Greece has 352 billion euro in
outstanding government debt, of which roughly 75 percent is held outside
of Greece. Were Greece cut off financially and ejected from the eurozone,
it must be assumed that Athens would quickly -- perhaps even immediately
-- default on its debts, particularly the foreign-held portions.
To understand how this would cripple Europe, we need to take a brief
detour into the characteristics of the <European banking system
European banks are not like American banks. Whereas the American financial
system is all part of a single unified network, <the European banking
system is sequestered by nationality
And whereas the general dearth of direct, constant threats to the American
nation has resulted in a fairly hands-off approach to the industry, the
crowded competition in Europe has often led states to expressly utilize
their banks as tools of policy. There are many pros and cons to each
model, but in the current eurozone financial crisis it has three critical
First, because banks are regularly used to achieve national and public --
as opposed to economic and private -- goals, banks are often
encouraged/forced to invest in ways that they otherwise would not. For
example, during the early months of the eurozone crisis, eurozone
governments leaned upon their banks to purchase prodigious volumes of
Greek government debt, thinking that such demand would be sufficient to
stave off a crisis. Another example: in order to better knit Spanish
society together into a unified whole, Madrid forced Spanish banks to
treat some one million recently naturalized citizens as having prime
credit despite their utter lack of credit history, directly contributing
to Spaina**s current real estate and constriction crisis. Consequently,
European banks have suffered more from credit binges, carry trading, and
toxic assets (whether American or <home-grown subprime
than their AngloAmerican counterparts.
Second, banks are far more important to growth and stability in Europe
than they are in AngloAmerica. Banks -- as opposed to stockmarkets in
which foreigners participate -- are seen as the trusted supporters of the
national systems. As such they are the lifeblood of the European
economies, on average supplying over 70 percent of funding needs for
consumers and corporations (for AngloAmerica the figure is under 40
Third and most importantly, this criticality and politicization means that
a sovereign debt crisis immediately becomes a banking crisis and a banking
crisis immediately becomes a sovereign debt crisis. <Ireland is a case in
Irish state debt was actually extremely low going into the 2008 financial
crisis, but the banksa** overindulgence left the Irish government with
little choice but to launch a bank bailout -- the cost of which in turn
required Dublin to seek a eurozone rescue package.
And since European banks are deeply enmeshed into each othersa** business
via a web of cross-stock and bond holdings and the interbank market,
trouble in one countrya**s banking sector quickly leads to cross-border
contagion in both banks and sovereigns.
In the case of Greece, their 280 billion euro in sovereign debt which is
held outside of Greece is majority-held by the banking sectors of
Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy -- all states whose state and private
banking sectors are already under considerable strain. A Greek default
would quickly cascade into rolling bank failures across these states that
would be uncontainable -- German and in particular French banks are
heavily exposed to Spain and Italy. And even this scenario is somewhat
optimistic, since it assumes that a Greek eurozone ejection does not
damage the Greek banking sectora**s 500 billion euro in assets.
Subhead: Making Europe Work (Without Greece)
The trick is to make a firebreak around Greece so that its failure cannot
tear down the European financial and monetary structure. Sequestering all
foreign held Greek sovereign debt would cost about 280 billion euro.
Considering that Greek growth in recent years was wholly dependent upon
access to cheap eurozone credit, one must also assume that when Greece
loses that access a deeper firebreak will be needed to mitigate the
impacts from elsewhere in the Greek system. This -- conservatively --
raises the cost of the Greek firebreak to about 400 billion euro.
That, however, only deals with the immediate crisis of the Greek default
and ejection. What will follow will be a long-term unwinding of Europea**s
economic and financial integration with Greece (there will be few Greek
banks willing to lend to European entities, and fewer European entities
willing to lend to Greece) which will trigger a series of ongoing
financial mini-crises. Additionally, the impact of ejecting a member state
-- even one such as Greece which flat out lied about its statistics in
order to qualify for eurozone membership -- is sure to rattle European
markets to the core.
In August IMF chief Christine Lagarde bluntly recommended an immediate 200
billion euro effort to recapitalize European banks so that they could
better deal with the next phase of the European crisis. While officials
across the EU immediately decried her advice, Lagarde is in a position to
know: until July 5 of this year she was the French Finance Minister.
Lagardea**s 200 billion euro figure assumes that the recapitalization
occurs before any defaults and before any market panic. Under such
circumstances prices tend to balloon; its easier to build a dam before the
flood. Using the 2008 American financial crisis as a guide, the cost of
recapitalization during an actual panic would probably be in the range of
800 billion euro.
Finally, it must also be assumed that the markets will not a**simplya** be
evaluating the banks. Governments will come under harsher scrutiny as
well. There are any number of eurozone states that look less than healthy,
but Italy rises to the top as concerns high debt (120 percent of GDP) and
lack of political will to tackle it and extraordinarly low growth
prospects for the foreseeable future. Italya**s outstanding gross [net is
lower, but we cannot assume liquidity of whatever assets are offsetting.
Lets just add a**grossa**] government debt is approximately 1.9 trillion
euro. The formula the Europeans have used to date to determine bailout
volumes has assumed that it would be necessary to cover all expected bond
issuances for three years. For Italy that comes out to about 700 billion
euro if one uses official Italian government statistics (and something
closer to 900 billion if one uses third party estimates).
All told, Stratfor estimates that a bailout fund that can manage the
fallout from a Greek ejection would need to be roughly 2 trillion euro.
Subhead: Getting from Here to 2 Trillion Euro
There is a kernel of good news buried in these numbers. The EUa**s bailout
mechanism, the European Financial Stability Facility, already exists so
the Europeans are not starting from scratch. Additionally, it is not as if
the Europeans have to have 2 trillion euro in the kitty the day the Greeks
are ejected. Even in the worst-case scenario Italy will be crashing within
24 hours (and even if it does it will need 900 billion over three years,
not all in one day). On G-Day probably a**onlya** about 700 billion would
be needed (400 billion euro to combat Greece contagion and another 300
billion euro for the banks). At least some of that -- although probably no
more than 150 billion euro -- could be provided by the IMF.
The rest comes from the private bond market. The EFSF is not a traditional
bailout fund that holds masses of cash and actively restructures entities
it assists. Instead it is a transfer facility: it has guarantees from the
eurozone member states to back a certain volume of debt issuance. It then
uses those guarantees to raise money on the bond market, subsequently
passing those funds along to bailout targets. In preparing for G-Day there
are two things that must be changed about the EFSF.
First, there are some legal issues to resolve. In its original incarnation
from 2010, the EFSF could only carry out state bailouts and it could only
do so after European institutions approved them. This resulted in lengthy
debates about the merits of bailout candidates, public airings of
disagreements among eurozone states, and a great deal more market angst
than was necessary. A July 22 eurozone summit strengthened the EFSF,
streamlining the approval process, lowering the interest rates of the
bailout loans, and most importantly, allowing the EFSF to engage in bank
bailouts. These improvements have all been agreed to, but they must be
ratified to take effect.
In this there are a couple of snags:
<The German governing coalition is of mixed minds whether German resources
-- even if limited to state guarantees -- should be made available to
bailout other EU states
The final vote in the Bundestag is supposed to occur Sept. 29. While
Stratfor finds it highly unlikely that this vote will fail, the fact that
a debate is even occurring is far more than a worrying footnote. After
all, the German government wrote both the original EFSF agreement and its
July 22 addendum.
The other snag regards smaller, solvent, eurozone states who are concerned
about statesa** ability to repay any bailout funds. Led by Finland and
bulwarked by the Netherlands these states are demanding <collateral
for any guarantees.
Stratfor views both of these issues as solvable. Should the Free Democrats
-- the junior coalition partner in the German government -- vote down the
EFSF changes, they sign their partya**s death warrant. At present the FDP
is so unpopular that it might not even make it into parliament in new
elections. And while Germany would prefer that Finland prove more pliable,
the collateral issue will at most require a slightly larger German
financial commitment to the bailout program.
Which brings us to the second EFSF problem: its size. The current facility
has only 440 billion euro -- a far cry from the 2 trillion euros that is
required. Which means that once everyone ratifies the July 22 agreement,
the 17 eurozone states have to get together (again) and modify the EFSF
(again) to quintuple the size of its fund-raising capacity. Anything less
ends with -- at a minimum -- the largest banking crisis in European
history and most likely the euroa**s dissolution. But even this road is a
long shot as there are any number of events which could go wrong between
now and G-Day.
 Sufficient states -- up to and including Germany
-- could balk at the potential cost, preventing the EFSF from being
expanded. Its easy to see why: Increasing the EFSF to 2 trillion euro
represents an increase of each contributing statea**s total debt load by
25 of GDP, a number that will rise to 30 of GDP should Italy need a rescue
(states receiving bailouts are removed from the funding-list for the
EFSF). Thata**s enough to push the national debts of Germany and France --
the eurozone heavyweights -- up to the neighborhood of 110 percent of GDP,
in relative size more than even the United Statesa** current bloated
volume. The politics of agreeing to this at the intra-governmental level,
much less selling it to skeptical and bailout-weary parliaments and
publics cannot be overstated. [I totally follow your argument here, and
this is a valid point, but remember as you pointed out the EFSF is
composed of guarantees so it wouldna**t actually push the debt up like
this. Investors would no doubt be pretty uncomfortable about it, and would
make these calculations them selves. Word tweak here should address this.]
 Once Greek authorities come to the conclusion
that Greece will be ejected from the eurozone anyway, they could
preemptively either leave the eurozone, default or both. That would
trigger an immediate sovereign and banking meltdown before the remediation
system could be established.
 An unexpected government failure could
prematurely trigger a general European debt meltdown. There are two
leading candidates: First, Italy. At 120 percent of GDP its national debt
is the highest anywhere in the eurozone save Greece, and the political
legacy of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi appears to be on its final
legs. Berlusconi has consistently gutted his own ruling coalition of
potential successors/challengers. There are now few personalities left to
run cover for some of the darker sides of his colorful personality.
Prosecutors have become so emboldened that now Berlusconi is scheduling
meetings with top EU officials to dodge them. Belgium is also high up on
the danger list. Belgium hasna**t had a government for 17 months, and its
<caretaker prime minister announced his intention to quit his job Sept. 13
It hard to implement austerity -- much less negotiate a bailout package --
without a government.
 The European banking system -- already the most
damaged in the developed world -- could prove to be in far worse shape
than is already believed. Anything from a careless word from government to
a misplaced austerity cut to an investor scare could trigger a cascade of
bank collapses.
Finally, if Europe is able to massage its system to this point, none of
this solves the European Uniona**s structural, financial or organizational
problems. a**Alla** it does is patch up the current crisis for the period
of a couple of years. The next challenge will be a German effort to get
all eurozone states to hardwire debt limitations and German-run bailout
provisions into their constitutions.

I have two Sony receivers which will need to be replaced. Is there any chance that DirecTV might replace the two with a single HD receiver? I no longer need two receivers. Should I call the receiver replacement number, or would it be better to call customer retention. I've read on this forum that some people hae gotten deals from the card access department.
I am also considering going to U-verse. My neighbor's tree has grown to block the line of sight and I am getting little to no signal strength. It might be easier and cheaper to go with U-verse than to get the dish moved to the roof. I would prefer to stay with DirecTV.
I have been with DirecTV since 1996. I have the original Total Choice package and have the Sports package. I have called customer service exactly three times in 16 years. Once to start Game Plan and again to drop it when I started working weekends. The other time was to drop Starz/Encore which I never watched. I have never asked or received any discounts. I have been on auto pay since its inception.
Welcome to dbstalk, Lynn. I think you'll find it an interesting discussion and valuable resource on all things DirecTV.
I had wondered also about whether or not DirecTV might offer some sort of tradeoff or partial credit if we choose to upgrade the obsolete SD receivers to some sort of HD equipment.
I have three SD receivers due to be obsolete by the end of the year. Since I am moving toward a Whole Home DVR installation a few pieces at a time I would be interested in replacing these obsolete units with HD client boxes that would work with WHDVR. I'm waiting until they tell me the life of these boxes is over before I broach the issue with DirecTV.
