The decision for the early departure was no doubt in part due to the stress, distractions and angst Bebb has faced — while still trying to do his job as the area's highest-ranking law enforcement officer — in knocking back one accusation after another from a Chattanooga newspaper and one state legislator in particular.
All formal complaints have been dismissed. Tennessee Attorney General Robert E. Cooper Jr. found no prosecutable violations. And, the state Senate let the recommendation for his removal from a state House oversight committee die, for lack of action.
Despite the move to remove him at the end, there was what he called "pressure" to go into the office to begin with eight years ago.
"The first two people to talk to me about running for DA were Bill [Haslam] and [Judge] Amy Reedy," Bebb said. "At the time, I told them no."
The discussions planted a seed, he said, but it was the desire to help law enforcement that spurred his final decision.
"Law enforcement from all four counties, when they heard rumors I might run, I got lots and lots of people saying, 'Please do. Please do,'" he said.
He said he believes the reason the encouragement came from that sector of public service is because "they knew I cared about them."
"When I was an assistant DA, I was either in court or out with the police at night," Bebb recalled. "One of them told me the other day the reason he enjoyed going out [on patrol] with me was because, 'You gave us the leadership we need to do the right thing and not cut corners.' The really good cops want that, and most of them are good. We're all human and people make mistakes. I've always said if you put 50 police officers in one room and 50 ordinary people in another, you have more people that will tell the truth in the police officer room. That's been my experience."
He said they knew he would fight hard for them and their cases.
"I have, but you can't believe everything you hear. You have to look at every case," Bebb said.
As he recalled beginning his term, he talks of how he is transitioning with his successor, Steve Crump, who won election to the office in May and is expected to possibly begin his duties as early as Tuesday.
"I've been meeting with Steve and he's got his ideas and he's made me feel real good about him being elected," Bebb said. "He's going to change a lot of things here."
Bebb is quick to note he had told Crump he would support his opponent, Stephen Hatchett.
"Stephen worked for me in this office and he did a great job here," Bebb said. "He would have been good had he been elected. There was a matter of loyalty as well in supporting Stephen and I believe Steve [Crump] understood that."
He recalls watching the office from outside, prior to his ascension to the job, and observing the assistants who had to document everything for the boss, and ask about how to plead a case or ask a team leader.
"Frankly, it caused a backlog in the district," Bebb said. "I made a decision coming in I would keep everyone [with one exception] in the office who asked for their job. I told them up front, 'You took the same oath I did. As long as you talk to your witnesses, talk to the lawyer on the other side, talk to the victims, know your case, know the law, and you feel like this is justice, then you will not get any grief from me.'"
He said during the TBI investigations into the office he was asked if he agreed with every plea bargain that had been made during his term.
"I said no, but no DA can be in four counties at one time. Frankly, they would know more about the cases than I did. They were on the ground with them," he said. "I tried to know all I could on all the important cases, but I'm still not going to interfere with the judgment of an assistant who has done their homework and has done what they think is the right thing."
Bebb said from his experience, it seems an impossible task for a DAG to be totally involved in every case.
Another item he made sure was implemented upon taking office was setting the rule that all phone calls would be answered or returned.
"I had heard no one would return phone calls, so I made one of my rules here is you return your phone calls," Bebb said. "I set the example, because I return every phone call. And I get phone calls from people who are mad as a hornet over the way an assistant has handled a case."
He said he is always willing to sit down with the person, as long as the assistant is present to participate in the conversation.
"I can't make a judgment based on one side," Bebb said.
He said he is very proud of the staff who works at the DAG office, while noting some judicial candidates have taken some credit for the reduction of case backlogs.
"I learned a long time ago no one person can take care of a backlog, it takes a lot of cooperation," Bebb said. "But, I have also learned the district attorney has more effect on whether there is a backlog and what can be done about it than any of the other elements of the criminal justice system."
He said the credit for any reduction goes to the assistant DAs, the public defenders, the defense bar, judges and clerks.
"It takes a lot from everybody," he said.
Bebb also said he is told the numbers show there have been more people sent to the penitentiary under his watch than in the eight years prior to his taking office.
"I don't know if that's success or not, but I think it's what the people want," he said.
Bebb said he doesn't believe those numbers are a fair measure of success.
"It's one of the things I'm proud of," he said. "People in this community don't realize how many come through the criminal justice system one time and we never have them again. The ones we hear about are the ones who keep coming back and back and, yes, we send those to prison."
He said prison is generally a last resort, unless it involves a violent crime.
Bebb cites the work of probation and Community Corrections as "doing a great job."
He notes the work of Gary Connor of the Community Corrections division, saying Connor and the division have done "a magnificent job all these years."
He said a recent conversation between the two focused on a defendant for whom "there was no hope."
"I intended to send him to prison, but got talked out of it on the morning of the trial," Bebb recalled. "Gary took him to Cleveland and he is now a valuable citizen today, married with four kids."
Bebb said he still sees the man on occasion.
"He came up and thanked me. I told him, 'You want to know who to thank? Look in the mirror.' He told me recently he still gets up every day and looks in the mirror and asks God to help him through one more day," Bebb said. "I tell him he's a success, and he did it."
"A lot of people have let me know how much they appreciated being in that program, and I tell them all that."
He said the man spotted him in a restaurant in later years and the waitress came over and told Bebb the man wanted to buy him breakfast.
"I said, 'Tell him he can't buy my breakfast. If I ever have to send him to prison, I don't want to owe him anything,'" Bebb says with a hearty laugh.
Emotion swells and the voice shakes as Bebb recalls the man coming over to him on that occasion.
"I think we were going to shake hands, but for some reason we hugged each other," he said. "A friend of mine came over and said, 'I got more out of that than I got at church this morning.' I said, 'Me, too.'"
"That is always a greater succes than sending someone to prison," Bebb pointed out. "I told Gary [Connor] if he got 20 violators and one comes out to be a good citizen, he's a success. Gary has had a lot of successes."
There have been those successes and happy days, but the last 2 1/2 years of the battering from accusations and investigations have not been taken kindly by their subject.
"I'm trying not to be bitter," Bebb said of all the problems over the last few years.
"It was politics, but it wasn't Republican and Democratic politics," Bebb said. "I had almost 1,500 letters, phone calls and emails from people who saw those stories in the Chattanooga Times Free Press — they were angry. It was not politics, and it didn't start as politics."
Bebb said he feels the problems all began because Duff Brumley [a former investigator] was fired from the Cleveland Police Department.
"He was fired for good reason. He violated state law. He violated Cleveland Police Department policies. It's all in his personnel files. I read it," he said.
Bebb alleged he also made a discovery from the files of former DAG Jerry Estes "... of their complaints with Brumley."
"Duff and I were supposedly big buddies and I thought we were. He had a key to my office and I gave him space so he could work on a triple homicide case, but once he was fired, he turned on [former CPD chief] Wes Snyder first, then he turned on me," Bebb said. "When the City Council backed Snyder, [Brumley] turned on me. I didn't have anybody to back me."
He said Brumley is related to state Sen. Mike Bell's wife.
"So, Mike Bell and Eric Watson go to the state attorney general, who is running scared because they want to get rid of him, and I'm with them on that. He's a smart man, but he doesn't have the guts to stand up to political pressure," Bebb said.
He has no respect for the Chattanooga Times Free Press and the writer who wrote the series of stories that led to the months of investigations.
"[Times Free Press staff writer] Judy Walton called me not too long ago and I told her, 'Do not ever call me again in your life. You have no ethics. You are not a journalist.' And, I hung up on her and haven't heard from her again," Bebb said.
He claimed she was always provided anything she had asked for and he had answered all of her questions.
"If it didn't fit in with Duff's theory or her theory, it didn't see the light of day. That paper didn't print it," Bebb said.
He said he was disappointed, having been a reader of the Chattanooga paper for many years.
"I'm a newspaper junkie," Bebb said. "I read them all. If we travel to West Tennessee, I stop at every small town and get a local paper."
He said he had heard of DAs and assistant DAs who want nothing to do with the press.
"I have found that 99 percent of the people who are in the media are trustworthy if you're honest with them. I have told all my staff the media has a job to do just like they do. But, at the same time, I didn't want us seeking publicity," Bebb said.
He said although he is trying, it is "... hard not to be bitter."
"I have feelings and I have friends and family who know all of that is a bunch of junk," Bebb said. "Somebody told me I could sue them and own the Chattanooga Times Free Press. I told them I didn't want to own it. I wanted to be left alone to do my job. That's all I asked."
Now, there is no reason to bother Bebb as he goes home and hangs up his career responsibilities.
Bebb said in leaving his office, his family is and has been "the most important thing in my life. Period."
"I told everybody in this office when I came that to me, their family ought to come first. So, if they were a momma or a daddy and their kid has a field trip and we could do it and cover it, I wanted them to do it. That's the way I still feel about it," he said.
"I would not have made it these past 2 1/2 years if I hadn't had my wife to go home to," Bebb said. "She makes my life, and I can't wait to spend more time with her."
A lot has happened in the last eight years, and just before shutting the office door one last time, Bebb will reflect on the cases that made an impression on him in Tuesday's edition of the Cleveland Daily Banner.

The theme of water appears to have been the canvas for the spring-summer 2012 parades. The mythical siren sang beguilingly to designers to lure them into creating homage to herself and the aquamarine and cerulean sea realm. The models came wrapped in clothes in the colors of the seabed, rebrodées and shimmering scales at Givenchy with its wetsuit-like feel to the collection.
Also ribbons in the shape of waves adorning the nymphs here at Chanel we felt the definite undercurrent of a Botticelli sea Goddess with iridescent mother of pearl, and strings of pearls encircling waists.
Even the catwalk was adorned with waves and sea pebbles to create a marine feel.
Prints which echoed ancient pottery and the myth of Poseidon at Versace.
At Versace, materials, light as sea foam floated in a harmonious aquatic carousel, and seemed to blend, as in nature with their lines and hues the with the horizon of the sea and sky.
The underwater magic did not stop there at Mcqueen we saw the emergence of another sea goddess, the oceanic life of Gaia was as fresh sea spray on the outfits composed of corals and shells.
All in all the shows were a fabulous dive into the deep blue for the Stylists at Gabrielle Teare who can't wait to be adding a splash bringing next season's biggest trend into our clients wardrobes.

To help needy families during the holiday season, the CSUN Matador Involvement Center's "Unified We Serve: The Volunteer Program" pulled students, faculty and staff together in the largest campus-wide food and clothing drive in the history of the university.
"This project shows just how much we can achieve as a community when we work together," said Justin Weiss, program coordinator. "Individuals can do a little, but when we all pull together, it all adds up to a lot."
During November, the campus focused on poverty as part of "Project: Reduce Poverty" and collected hundreds of canned good items and clothing items for MEND (Meet Each Need with Dignity), a Pacoima-based private social service agency. Students slept overnight on campus as part of "Survive the Night," a mock homeless village and soup kitchen, as part of a teach-in on homeless issues.
Organizers displayed the food items and clothes collected on the steps of the Oviatt Library as "visual" evidence of the power of unity. On Friday, Nov. 20, students wrapped up the month's activities at MEND's headquarters by helping to pack boxes of food items and delivering them to needy families.

[UPDATED] New titles for Wrath {WoW}
Aug 30th 2008 9:05PM I totally agree with Kadathwack; these titles should be available to anyone who hits 80 in the first month of Wrath. The thing is, being the *first* on your server, means you aren't going to have time to read quest-text, or look at the scenary. And once you hit 80, and find out you were beaten to the punch, what are you left with? A lvl 80 character, with absolutely no good memories?
The bloat {WoW}
Aug 7th 2008 1:04AM The Death Knight trees, more than any other class, seem the most scattered. As stated, min-maxers are going to have a field day with this one. It's hard to complain, though; if you're truly set of a specific spec (for me, Unholy atm), it at least gives you some options, without having to spend a respeccing cost.
In this particular case, I think talents should have a bit more synergy; PvP-oriented talents also drawing a high ammount of threat (even if immune to said talented skills). Unholy seems the most confused tree atm; I don't even know *what* they could do to make it useful, unless they drastically increase Pet viability and lower summoning cost for Ghouls and Undead (perhaps move Army of the Dead as the 51-point talent, and beef it up and lower the cost?)

Twitter Party Time – Give Up Clothes For Good!
I am absolutely delighted to have been asked to co-host a Twitter party to help raise awareness of the Give Up Clothes For Good campaign! A Twitter party for a good cause and I get to chat about clothes for an hour – perfect!
Don't worry, I'm not organising a naked jamboree – my teen raised a questioning eyebrow when I mentioned we were Giving Up Clothes for Good! The Campaign, now in its fifth year, raises funds for Cancer Research UK's work into beating children's cancers. Throughout April people can bag up their unwanted clothes and take them to TKMaxx stores throughout the land where they are sorted and then distributed to Cancer Research UK's stores to be sold on.
The aim is to raise £12million this year. As the video I have posted at the bottom of this piece tells you, in the 1960s, when I was born, three out of four children with cancer didn't survive, now three out of four do. That is an incredible achievement, but one in four of those children don't survive and that's one too many. We need to help raise funds to help Cancer Research UK's work into beating childhood cancer. That's where you come in.
On Wednesday evening (11th April) from 8pm – 9pm Kellie (@BigFashionista) and I, in association with TKMaxx and Tots100, will be asking Twitter users to tell us 'What takes up too much room in your wardrobe?' and I really hope you will join us.
Using the #Giveupclothes hashtag, we want to know what people will be clearing out of their wardrobe this spring – and why. We'll have fashion expert Natalie Goodman, senior style editor at InStyle magazine, on hand to offer tips on what to buy, what to keep and what to get rid of as we throw off our winter woollies and expose our legs to the light. Throughout the party we'll be giving away £250 (5 x £50 vouchers) in TKMaxx vouchers so people can snap up a bargain and freshen up their wardrobe.
To be in with a chance of winning, you must Tweet us your fashion tip or questions using the hashtag (#giveupclothes) between 8pm and 9pm.
Follow me @christinemosler, Kellie @BigFashionista @TKMaxx_UK and @CR_UK and that hashtag #Giveupclothes and tweet like billy-oh.
You are invited; please join me so I'm not standing in the corner cradling my wine glass, talking to myself!
This is why you need to help. Join in, help raise awareness, raise money and help children. Let's make some noise!

The National Flood Insurance Program may have a lump of coal in store for West Pittston residents with flood insurance policies this holiday season: a $50 surcharge on new policies and renewals.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency notified the borough in June of flood plain management violations and program deficiencies that required correction by Oct. 1. Failure to comply would place the borough on probationary status, allowing the NFIP to collect the $50 surcharge on policies.
If the borough fails to make continued progress towards compliance it faces the stiffer penalty of losing eligibility for the program – leaving property owners to buy flood insurance on the private market, which costs considerably more than federally-backed flood insurance.
The probation period was extended in August to Nov. 1, then, a week later, to Dec. 1, but Borough Manager Savino Bonita isn't confident it will be extended a third time.
We're not fully compliant, Bonita said. We've made great strides and brought the issues along, but we're not 100 percent compliant … We're at their mercy right now.
Bonita said West Pittston has updated its flood plain ordinance and hired a flood plain manager as required by FEMA, and some property owners have brought their properties into compliance with NFIP standards. But a problem remains with property owners in the 100-year flood plain who repaired their homes – in many cases before the borough was aware it was not compliant – but fail to meet NFIP specifications.
Those property owners have options, including seeking a variance from the borough zoning board, Bonita said, but the borough will cite those who fail to take any action.
The flood plain manager would have to cite those people and take them before a district judge, Bonita said. It's getting to that point right now.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, on Tuesday urged FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate to again extend the deadline for placing West Pittston on probationary status.
West Pittston is making a good faith effort to achieve full compliance with federal requirements, and expects to complete the required actions within the coming months, Casey wrote. FEMA should recognize these efforts and continue to work with the Borough in a cooperative manner to ensure that all residents are protected from future flooding.

it is imperative that you realize the danger
June 24, 2008 | Filed Under music, photography | Leave a Comment
You've all heard Danger before. Whether it be in someone's mixtape, your friends car space, TV space, movie space, radiospace, outer space, deep sea space, cyberspace, or myspace, you've heard it.
Aside from the awesome original productions (which hypem is overflowing with), Danger also dips his skinny fingers in the remix production game. I recently came across this track which made the A/C in my house explode with random, PBR-wielding dancing hipsters crawling out of the vents.
I can guarantee that you'll hear this coming from my and everyone else's car/headphones/house/parties ….starting last month.

POOL PARTY @ TUFTSMANIA (tracklist in comments)

It's been obscenely hot in LA and when it's hot, you have a pool party. One of the requirements of a successful pool party is excellent music.
Who gives a shit about smooth technical mixing when you're too busy blasting your friend with a Super Soaker 2000 Death Cannon Triple Barrel Lazer Machine Hydromaster?
also, big ups to Hacks from Resonator Mag for reminding me about the 80kidz remix of "Knock Out".

Franki Chan from IHEARTCOMIX also sent this little gem of a mixtape over to me. It has a tracklist that is pretty much all 5-stars in my itunes, so you should check it out.

PS: what's the deal with hotlinking files? Obviously it's an easy way to link to a file/mp3/whatever, but it totally kills me these days. I'm not making any money from this website, and when another site (sometimes even sponsored, to remain nameless) hotlinks to the files hosted on this site, I over-run my bandwidth allotment. I have TONS of bandwidth and it is usually pretty hard to do, but once it's linked outside on other bigger websites, game over. There really aren't any excuses with the multitudes of free online file hosting (zshare, megaupload, yousendit.)
I could care less about 'being the first' to break news on a track,
I could care less about getting credit for 'being the source' of a track,
and I could care less about getting a huge reader base.
Getting quality visitors works well enough by word of mouth.
So, other leechy music blogs, let's show some proper netiquette…
Buffet Libre saved my life
June 9, 2008 | Filed Under music, photography | 11 Comments
I have more than 1 reason to be thankful for these guys right now. Pizza, double cheeseburgers, spaghetti, delicious… all you can eat in Buffet Libre.
For the past year or so, these guys from Spain have been putting out some of the most tasteful mixtapes I've laid ears on (aka the Verbena series). It's less of the 'computer mixing trickery' and more of just straight pure awesome track selection. The mixing is smooth, to the point, and seamless. No tacky trickery here to make up for the mindless process of building your tracklist around what 'the blogs you follow on hypem' post weekly.
Today after my hellish first block of finals, I was looking for some relief and Marc from Buffet Libre was chillin in my mailbox to the rescue. I may not have ever mentioned here, but for the past months, a song has been haunting my memory. Ever since the day I tried to remember the title of it to play at a party. It would NOT come to me. From then on, a day hasn't passed without me hearing the intro/vocals/rhythm of that mystery song.
That went on for about 3 months………and finally ended today. All thanks to…
Verbena Selected vol. 4. (right click, save as). Tracklist is after the break.
If any of you guys are in Barcelona, Mardrid or Outer Space, make sure you check these spots out.

OH, and that one track that was stuck in my head FOREVER was from both paris natives–
The Shoes – Knock Out (Tom Deluxx Remix)
I can't believe I forgot the artist/title of this track. It's even 4 starred in my library. I've even blogged about The Shoes before. Hmm funny, that was right around finals time as well. anyways. time to study more.
hotter (update! one more remix)
May 19, 2008 | Filed Under music, photography | 12 Comments
The temperatures in LA have been out of control lately. My normal bike route home which is usually very short and cool, resulted in me being drenched in sweat all week.
This is the time to have sweaty, debaucherous parties.
–but before all that, I need to finish school.
MANY Thanks to all the people who send me demos, advances, mixtapes, nudes, and especially all the big name labels who, as of late, have been flooding my inbox with complete bullshit (and arguably shitty incomplete SAMPLES of songs).
But most importantly, thanks to all the people who send me high-bitrate mp3s. I cannot stress how much this means to me. Things like this tell me that you VALUE you own work as an artist.
To me it says,
"Hey, my work is tops, I don't want it heard on anything but the best quality it can be. 320kbs all over your chest."
I am probably more apt to respect your shit if you demonstrate some level of respect for it as well.
Something I can't understand is an email consisting of,
"hey dude blogger guy, I don't really give a fuck but you're on the mailing list I made by crawling hypemachine, here's my 96kbs track, feel free to play it live and post a blog entry about it."
10 min later,
"oh sorry bro, i forgot to attach/link the file"
By this point, not only am I bothered that there was a message that failed to deliver with music, I was totally let down by the SHITness of the finally delivered track. Failure to deliver is such a bitch.
I will obviously not play a track that isn't appealing to me, but I will sure as shit not play something that sounds like it was:
recorded off a ford fiesta fm radio into a lawyer's spit-encrusted-dictaphone,
re-recorded onto your macbook through the built in microphone,
maxed out the input level because it wasn't loud enough,
and finally re-compressed.
There isn't enough time in a day.
hang in there, I've got a few weeks to go.
don't have time to say much more… so listen.
The Futureheads – Hounds Of Love (Phones' Wolves At The Door Remix)
ok, I GOTTA say something about this. Aside from all the Australian label inbreeding, I still can't seem to get over the magic of Midnight Juggernauts. The spacey synth, church organs, reverb, CASTLEVANIASOUNDS, everything fucking thing they do is so epic and executed in a way that dwarfs everything in comparison. (them being juggernauts and all, LOOK I MAKE THE JOKE)
Cut Copy – Hearts on Fire (Midnight Juggernauts remix)
UPDATE!: how could I forget this one?? FLIP, FLIP FLIP IT

Maybe if we all scream loud enough, Sven of The Videoband will finally leak/release/materialize/shit out the final mix of La Parisienne. (please check it on myspace if you haven't)
In the meantime, he's been teasing me with a number of other remixes which I've liked enough to write about.
The teasing, hasn't stopped, but thankfully everything they send my way is gold!
Here are 2 new remixes.
First up is Sam Sparro's synthy funk track, Black Gold. If you've never heard of the guy, peep his myspace and check '21st Century Life'. I don't know much about him, but from his myspace, he kind of looks like a douche. It says he's on a 'major label'. Maybe his PR team should hire a new 'myspace-friend-adder-intern' and fire this guy who's making his image really douchey.
Anyway, The Videoband has a knack. That is, they choose tracks with potentially life threatening vocals, slice, repeat, distort, and process them into a beast that has new life and probably way more appeal to you and me. Black Gold is one of these instances. I don't recommend the original track in the LEAST, but if you do accidentally listen to it with your pitchfork-loving friends, you'll realize that The Videoband knows what's up in the 'vocal-lyrical-fucking-shit-up' department.
Sam Sparro – Black Gold (the videoband vocal fix remix)
Secondly, David Guetta needs no introduction. The Videoband shows us their take on Guetta's 'Delirious'. While this tracks vocals aren't painful to listen to, The Videoband works their vocal remixing magic on this track and turns the vocals into instruments rather than stupid self-loathing words.
Voices as instruments? Less words, more sounds. Less people sounding stupid, more music sounding better?
David Guetta – Delirious (The Videoband Remix 2)
PS: keep screaming for The Videoband to drop the Parisienne track. When they do, you'll see it here.

My seedlings of Lisianthus (hundreds!) have been decimated by Fungus Gnats. They kill seedlings in a matter of less than one day.
Is there anything I can buy at the Home Depot to kill these insects? Thanks, I need help as soon as possible because they are dying even right now! Rino |
Follow-Up Postings:
Rino, You may have both Fungus Gnats and Damping Off. Damping Off can kill seedlings quickly. The Fungus Gnats themselves (the adults) probably aren't hurting your seedlings, but they lay eggs that hatch into maggots that feed on the roots of your seedlings. They wouldn't kill your seedlings so quickly, but certainly could stunt their growth. I control Fungus Gnat maggots in the soil by watering with a solution that includes some powdered Mosquito Dunks. I use them because I happen to have them on hand. They should be available locally in a home store or garden center. I place a dunk, or a piece of one, in a Ziploc bag, place it on a hard concrete surface, and pound it into powder with a hammer. I add that powder to the water that I water my seedlings with. Don't breath the dust and wash your hands after. However, any product that contains Bt and is labeled for fungus gnats should work. ZM |
The most important element here is probably the overly moist condition of your potting medium. That's what causes the assorted diseases that cause 'damping off' in seedling, as well as fostering a healthy fungus gnat larvae population. What kind of seed germination set-up do you have; what's your potting soil like; soil temperatures vs. room temperature, air circulation, etc. If we had some further information, we could do more to steer you in the right direction next time. |

I treated the seedlings with a Bayer Advanced insect killer and also a fungicide. I sprayed thoroughly over the trays. Today the seedlings that were still alive have not disappeared! I hope it will continue to be like this for a long time! This is how I created my little greenhouse in the patio closet. The three round pots are those where the Lisianthus are growing. |

Who's afraid of the Felda IPO?
Who's afraid of the Felda IPO?
Who's afraid of the Felda IPO?
Friday, February 24, 2012KUALA LUMPUR: Journalist and blogger Datuk Ahirudin Attan, also known as Rocky, called out certain quarters today for their criticism of the planned listing of Felda Global Ventures Holdings, saying the listing would greatly benefit the settlers and their families.
Rocky wrote about the subject in his blog today in response to criticism by Umno's Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and PKR's Rafizi Ramli of the government's plan to go ahead with the listing.
Tengku Razaleigh had said the planned listing would endanger the future of the settlers; Rafizi called it "an evil scheme".
"Scary," Rocky wrote in his blog. "Since when did an IPO become an evil scheme to cheat the rakyat?"
"Yes, it's scary when young politicians like Rafizi start to label things 'evil'," he added.
Rocky continued: "Evil is the scheming going on to stop the IPO and to deny the settlers' children and their children to have a shot at a better life, for them to be able to get out of the little plots that the government opened up years ago so that they could pursue bigger and better opportunities."
Rocky also chided Rafizi and Tengku Razaleigh for wanting the settlers and their children and grandchildren to become trapped in the settler community.
"What the IPO offers settlers is not just the windfall in terms of ringgit and sen," he said. "It allows these settlers to move up in life and become part of the future growth of Felda in Malaysia and the rest of the world. It allows the settlers to keep what they already have and, in addition, open up vistas for the settlers' future generations to become more than just settlers."
"Now, what's evil about transforming the Felda settlers, almost all of whom are Malays, into more than just settlers so that they can have the better lives, Rafizi?" he asked.
Blogger Big Dog also defended the government's decision to proceed with the planned listing without KPF, and accused the opposition of creating drama to deflect attention away from their own shortcomings.
"When a program is initiated with a good objective to safeguard the strategic importance of Felda settlers, the opposition drama also begins," he wrote in his blog today.
"It was only after the listing of FGVH involving KPF failed, and the Federal Government went ahead with the listing of FGVH through another entity, that the majority of KPF representatives realised their loss," he said.
"This includes statements made by the opposition such as PAS and PKR," he continued, "even though all this time they were the ones inciting the settler community to reject the proposal."
Regarding a call by opposition politicians for the matter to be put to a debate, Big Dog said, "The proposal for a debate is a common tactic of the opposition, especially PKR, to attract attention because actually they don't have ideas that are original or sound."
In fact," he said, "nothing productive could come from a debate except for an opposition circus, especially PKR, which day by day is losing confidence, including among its own leaders and members."

Friday, July 12
Tropicana Field
Attendance: 13,347
St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Jarred Cosart certainly made a strong impression in his major league debut.
The Astros highly-touted prospect carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning as Houston edged the Rays, 2-1, to snap Tampa Bay's eight-game winning streak.
Cosart (1-0), who was drafted in the 38th round by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2008 but was traded to Houston in a deal for Hunter Pence, allowed just two hits and three walks over eight-plus innings. Bumpus Jones threw a no-hitter in his professional debut for the Cincinnati Reds in 1892, and is the only player to accomplish the feat in his first career start.
"All these guys have been great. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, but went out there and did my thing," Cosart said. "Carlos (Corporan) did his thing behind the plate, and I just tried to hit my spots. To get eight innings in and get a win is all I can ask for. We have a great group of guys, and hopefully we just get on a roll here."
Ben Zobrist had the Rays' first hit with a hard-hit single through the hole on the right side with one out in the seventh inning.
David Price (3-5) needed just 87 pitches, 70 for strikes, to notch his sixth career complete game. He gave up two runs on eight hits while striking out three. The hard-throwing lefty also went the distance in his last start.
"Our eight-game winning streak was snapped. I can throw better. I just have to keep going," Price said.
The Rays went into their final at-bat trailing 2-0. Cosart issued a leadoff walk to pinch-hitter Kelly Johnson and was replaced by Jose Veras, who was able to get Yunel Escobar to ground into a double play.
Desmond Jennings then reached on shortstop Jake Elmore's throwing error, and moved to second on a defensive indifference. Luke Scott followed with a line drive single to center field to score Jennings. Zobrist then laced a base hit to center to put runners on the corners, but Veras caught Evan Longoria looking at strike three to seal the win. It was his 18th save of the season.
With the bases loaded in the first, Corporan ripped a base hit to center to score Elmore and Chris Carter.

I guess I can say the same about myself - I am not made - it only happened once some time back.
I am pretty certain that my area - semi rural, and pretty gun savvy - must have a good number of folks carrying but - yet to spot one. I guess this is good but makes me feel it is me and only me that carries!

I'm starting my first winter with my first group of fig trees: Vista BM, Panache, and regular BM, all bought from Encanto farms. Two weeks ago we had five days of frost. I took the figs into my garage. This coming week, we are looking at temperatures up to 65 or so.
I'm not sure what I ought to do... my figs will do fine outside, but they're young, and I want them to go dormant. As I understand it, I'm to bring them into the garage, with as little light as possible, and keep temps below 45 or so until the last threat of frost. Where I live, I get maybe three weeks of frost over the winter, and temps never really go below 30 or so, but will semi-frequently get over 60. Should I move these guys outside and just let them go dormant if they can, or should I keep them inside and hope they go dormant in there? I've searched the forum but have found only general wintering info, especially for the Northeast. Thanks for any advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Leave them outdoors. Your temps won't go low enough to do them any harm. The TRUE dormant period for carica is extremely short - usually only 100-200 chill units (roughly, hours), after which time they become quiescent and capable of growth as soon as soil temperatures become more favorable (above about 45*). Al |
In your climate figs can be left outside during the winter months. If there were a night when it would be getting really cold. Say into the low twenties or lower then you might think about bringing a potted fig in or covering it to protect it. Growing figs in a pot is a pain. For the most part people do it only if they are renting or think they may be moving in a year or two or if they live in a climate that freezes during the winter months. I've lived in Petaluma, Novato and Rohnert Park and figs are grown in the ground without protection. In fact unless you live on a high mountain figs can be grown in the ground and left unprotected nearly anywhere in Ca. |

Ben Bernanke gave another Augustinian give-us-QEn-but-not-yet* speech at Jackson Hole today and you could go read it but honestly why would you, you know what it says, which is "everything is bad, but not as bad as it could be, and we want to make it a bit better, but only once it's gotten a bit worse." Moving right along.
To Andrew Haldane's speech, which is a treat! It is here and its title is "The dog and the frisbee," so obviously he had Dealbreaker on his side right there. Haldane, the Bank of England's financial-stability guy, basically argues that while the financial system is complex, it should be regulated simply – "As you do not fight fire with fire, you do not fight complexity with complexity" – just as a dog uses only elementary trigonometry and differential calculus to solve the complex and multivariate problem of catching a frisbee.**
Haldane's main example of overcomplexity in regulation is risk-based capital regulation, in which the Basel accords have moved from simple leverage tests – common equity divided by total assets – to complicated tests where the numerator is made up of different tiers of capital and the denominator uses risk-weights that are largely driven by the bank's own models of riskiness. One thing you could do is compare the performance of those measures in the recent crisis, so he did. Here is how Basel risk-based capital did:
That looks bad and also is bad, with no statistically significant difference between banks that blew up and banks that did not. This is just boring leverage:
This looks better, and Haldane adds "The pre-crisis leverage ratio of failing banks was statistically significantly lower than surviving banks at the 1% significance level, by on average 1.2 percentage points." Dumb leverage is much better at predicting bank failure than smart leverage.
He points out some other complexifications that have had mixed results – VaR being a big one*** – and sums up:
Over the past 30 years or so, the regulatory direction of travel has been towards pricing risk in the financial system, rather than prohibiting or restricting it. … [R]egulators have pursued price over quantity-based regulation. That makes sense when optimising in a risky world.
It may make less sense when optimising in an uncertain world. Quantity-based restrictions may be more robust to mis-calibration. Simple, quantity-based restrictions are the equivalent of a regulatory commandment: "Thou shalt not". These are likely to be less fallible than: "Thou shalt provided the internal model is correct". That is one reason why Glass-Steagall lasted for 60 years longer than Basel II.
The speech is very good but this sort of thing always leaves me a bit unmoved. That Basel leverage vs. regular leverage test is biased by the fact that banks were regulated to Basel leverage, meaning:
- everyone had to have roooughly the same amount of Basel capital,**** and
- your incentive was to maximize the actual risk you took with each dollar of regulatory risk.
Thus higher total leverage in that regulatory regime is less about "who was more levered" and more about "who was more aggressive in gaming capital requirements to maximize risks and returns"; there's no reason to think that in a world regulated to total leverage the aggressive ones wouldn't be gaming that. (By, for instance, using all of their allowed leverage to buy risky assets.) Perhaps related is this interesting paper from Robert Jarrow claiming that capital-adequacy regulation based on VaR can increase systemic risk by encouraging banks to sell a lot of tail-risk insurance:
Under a VaR capital adequacy rule, firms can easily adjust their assets and liabilities to increase the probability of catastrophic losses, while improving or keeping VaR unchanged. Given limited liability and for banks (deposit insurance), management and shareholders would have an incentive to do so. The balance sheet modi fication is conceptually very simple. The firm needs to sell put options on the risks in the "far" left-tail of its loss distribution. These increased liabilities are not registered by VaR. But selling these put options brings in cash, which can be used to purchase additional assets. The newly purchased assets decrease VaR. This is an example of regulatory arbitrage.
That passage is model-based but grounded in history – basically it corresponds to "write a lot of puts on AAA assets" – and pretty much describes how you get low levels of risk-weighted leverage but high levels of actual leverage.
Jarrow's solution is to add another capital-adequacy metric, based on conditional expected loss given exceeding VaR, to make that arbitrage impossible; Haldane's would presumably be to subtract a metric: "don't worry about VaR, just don't write too many puts on any assets." Either would probably work to shut down this particular game.
But this is just one game. And Haldane's other simplifiers aren't that encouraging:
Quantity-based regulatory solutions have gained currency during the course of the crisis. In the US, the Volcker rule is a quantity-based regulatory commandment: "Thou shalt not engage in proprietary trading". In the UK, the Independent ("Vickers") Commission on Banking has also proposed structural, quantity-based reforms: "Thou shalt not co-mingle retail deposit-taking and investment banking".
Yet even these notionally simple, structural proposals run some risk of backdoor complexity. For example, the consultation document accompanying Volcker already runs to 298 pages.
Yeah yeah yeah the Volcker Rule is too complicated, it should be simpler, why not just say "don't prop trade"? But of course then no one could tell you what prop trading is. The Vickers/Glass-Steagall rule is simple, but a rule like "don't use retail deposits to fund investment banking" leads to money market funds that invest in repos on securities dealers' inventories, which are very different words that mean "using retail deposits to fund investment banking."
I feel like the model underlying these simplify-your-regulations arguments is:
- risk and reward are correlated,
- bankers have asymmetric upside and so want more risk (as more risk = more upside, and their downside is floored at zero),
- regulators can price/limit/ban/whatever any finite number of risks, with the cost in regulator heartache increasing in the number of regulated risks,
- but the number of possible risks is infinite and bankers only need to think of one that the regulators didn't think of to make a lot of money and maybe blow up the world, so
- regulators should stop trying to think of lots of things and try thinking of fewer things.
The first four of those points seem more or less inarguable. The fifth is a very natural thing to think in response, and solves the important (for regulators) optimization problem of reducing regulator heartache. I just don't see why it would work.
The dog and the frisbee – paper by Andrew Haldane [BoE, and press release]
Jackson Hole Paper 2 – Destroying the Tower of Basel [Money Supply]
Capital Adequacy Rules, Catastrophic Firm Failure, and Systemic Risk [Harvard Law and SSRN]
* That reference in this context feels like it is not original to me but I don't know who got it first. The Economist has used it with austerity. The original is of course.
** Haldane actually says "For studies have shown that the frisbee-catching dog follows the simplest of rules of thumb: run at a speed so that the angle of gaze to the frisbee remains roughly constant," and I cannot stop myself imagining the dog reasoning that out with a few simple diagrams and an HP-12C.
*** This is a good thing to ponder:
To give some sense of scale, consider model-based estimates of portfolio Value at Risk (VaR), a commonly-used technique for measuring risk and regulatory capital in the trading book. A large firm would typically have several thousand risk factors in its VaR model. Estimating the covariance matrix for all of the risk factors means estimating several million individual risk parameters. Multiple pricing models are then typically used to map from these risk factors to the valuation of individual instruments, each with several estimated pricing parameters.
Taking all of this together, the parameter space of a large bank's banking and trading books could easily run to several millions. These parameters are typically estimated from limited past samples. For example, a typical credit risk model might comprise 20-30 years of sample data – barely a crisis cycle. A market risk model might comprise less than five years of data – far less than a crisis cycle.
**** I mean, not really, but everyone had to have adequate Basel capital, and wanted to minimize capital subject to that requirement. Note that that chart has a narrower range than the total leverage chart. So you shouldn't really expect differences in adequate Basel capital levels to distinguish failed and non-failed banks.

Compelling piece.
Is that the dog from Flight of the Navigator?
Good article. But, the purpose of regulation is also to justify the regulatory bureaucracy.
So, over time, the regulations must get more complex.
Over time, "over time", … "Over time" the smart humans notice what works to gain an advantage over the less smart humans.
All human organizations should be judged as they perform "over time".
Actually Matt, I've got a bit of a quibble with some of the data, you see if you consult a standard chronological device and then cross reference that with the this year's 365 unit time chart, you'll find that IT'S FUCKING MARG TIME BROS!!!!

What I love most is how an article "claiming that capital-adequacy regulation based on VaR can increase systemic risk by encouraging banks to sell a lot of tail-risk insurance" is described as "interesting" without even being ironic.

From Bloomberg today: Eric W. Aboaf, treasurer of New York-based Citigroup, told a similar story to investors on a July 20 conference call. "We have been focused on reducing our borrowing costs by substituting maturing long-term debt in the bank, which is a more expensive source of funding, with deposits, our lowest cost of funds," said Aboaf, 48.

Thanks for this excellent article. One other thing is that a lot of digital cameras come equipped with a zoom lens that permits more or less of the scene to generally be included simply by 'zooming' in and out. Most of these changes in concentration length usually are reflected inside viewfinder and on significant display screen at the back of your camera.

A 25-year-old pregnant woman has been killed and another female injured following a shooting incident involving a policeman in Yallahs, St Thomas, this afternoon.
Assistant Commissioner Wray Palmer, who is in charge of the Area Five Police which includes St Thomas, told The Gleaner a short while ago that he was aware of an incident, but said it was too early to comment.
Reports say angry residents have used debris to block the road in the vicinity of the Yallahs Police Station.
A strong police presence has been deployed to the area.
Residents claim, the two women were shot during a scuffle which broke out after a policeman attempted to prosecute one of them for using indecent language.

Cue the Conspiracy Theories: Parts of Flame Virus Are Nearly Identical to Stuxnet
It's going to be even harder for President Obama to distance himself from Stuxnet now. As Reuters reports, Kaspersky Lab, a leading computer security firm in Moscow, has discovered that portions of code in the newer Flame virus are "nearly identical" to code in Stuxnet, the cyber weapon reportedly used by the United States and Israel to disrupt Iran's nuclear initiatives.
This new discovery is likely to fuel theories from security experts that Stuxnet was part of an American-led cyber program "that is still active in the Middle East and perhaps other parts of the world," says Reuters. Not the best way to win those hearts and minds! Read More

Defining Quality Culture
This lunch and educational session is for anyone in the Pharma industry R&D, Supply Chain, Operations, Quality and support functions. NSF Health Sciences Pharma Biotech will present the principles embedded in ICH Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality Systems and use these to foster discussion around what we mean by the Quality Culture.
We will discuss Defining Moments, those pivotal or transformational experiences which shape a company's culture around quality. Defining Moments are often moments of crisis that become hidden gems or opportunities to take a company to new heights in terms of quality and compliance.
The food and the education are free. We look forward to you joining us!
