OPINION: Lurking quietly on page 17 of the latest Reserve Bank Monetary Policy Statement is the recent history of the New Zealand economy in one easy lesson.
Figure 4.9 demonstrates just how dramatically New Zealand's exports to China have taken off in the past six years, partly because of the ground-breaking free trade agreement with China, and partly thanks to the melamine scandal in 2008, which turned Chinese parents to foreign sources of infant milk formula.
Lucky for us, the Chinese leadership appears to have forgiven Fonterra for last year's monumental blunder over the false alarm on botulism contamination.
And as any disaster manager will tell you: it's the putting right that counts.
The putting right continues. Prime Minister John Key cemented the apologies and got some big gains from his visit to Beijing last week.
But alongside the hairy-chested goal of $30 billion worth of two-way trade by 2020 - it's closing on $20b now - and direct tradeability of the New Zealand dollar and Chinese renminbi, there is a range of initiatives to increase the presence in China of New Zealand primary industries and bio-security protection.
These include a food safety scholarship programme and a brand-new embassy in Beijing.
However, as rocketing demand for primary products feeds the New Zealand economic recovery, a chorus of worriers fear what would happen if the Chinese economic miracle were to flame out.
As a Sydney-based fund manager put it in The Wall Street Journal this month: "China has gone from being the saviour of the world to one of the weakest links in the chain".
ANZ chief economist Cameron Bagrie told the National Business Review yesterday that if China did come off the boil, it would hurt our other biggest export partner, Australia.
But is this all overblown?
Paul Donovan, an economist in London for investment bank UBS, takes a contrary view.
For a start, he suggests recent soft figures from China reflect the fact that the US has slowed temporarily because of severe winter weather. He argues that the underlying trend in the US remains a credible recovery, which should continue to underpin Chinese growth.
Threats to financial system stability inside China do remain and it is no secret that Beijing is trying to manage Chinese growth rates down from close to 10 per cent a year to more like 7.5 per cent. That had to happen as the Chinese economy matured after three decades of headlong growth.
However, Donovan focuses on the fact that, based on 2000-2009 analysis, most economies have manageable levels of exposure to China. Over that period, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia were most dependent on exports to China, averaging more than 4 per cent of GDP annually.
New Zealand was exporting a little over 1 per cent of GDP annually over that period, and Australia a little over 2 per cent.
The problem with this analysis is that the explosion in New Zealand exports to China began after 2008, at the end of Donovan's sample period. At nearly $8b a year, exports to China are nearing 4 per cent of GDP.
But even if that exposure is high, the elasticity of Chinese demand for high-quality, safe food, which comprises most of New Zealand's export profile, has yet to be tested in a downturn. China might need less coal and iron ore, but its appetite for what New Zealand produces has only grown.
That trend can't be banked.
In the meantime, it only underscores the value of pushing for trade access elsewhere.
This week's unprecedented willingness by the European Union to discuss a free trade deal with New Zealand and to establish a permanent Wellington embassy is welcome news indeed.

Crazy Shirts founder expands his aloha shirt empire
- Lynn Nakagawa
- Reporter- Pacific Business News
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn
It's been about a decade since Crazy Shirts founder Rick Ralston put the Hawaii-based company in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection before selling it later that year.
Now at 70, Ralston is focused on the expansion of his aloha shirt business, Rix Island Wear.
Rix Island Wear first opened at Ward Warehouse in November 2010 and, following the success of the Ward location, opened another Honolulu store in Kahala Mall in May.
Next up, new year, new store. Rix Island Wear shop will enter the Waikiki market with a shop on the ground floor of the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa.
"We are shooting for Jan. 8 (to open) but renovations are still underway," Ralston said.
The 650-square-foot store will employ about five people, he said.
In his youth, Ralston was an art student in southern California before he dropped out, traveled to Honolulu and starting painting T-shirts in Waikiki.
"The new store is a spitting distance from where I was hand painting shirts in 1962," he said.
Ralston opened Ricky's Crazy Shirts at Waikiki's International Market Place in 1964, which later became the famed Crazy Shirts brand.
Crazy Shirts currently has 34 stores nationwide, including 21 in Hawaii.

US urges oil-by-rail sector to agree a safer tank car
WASHINGTON, April 9
WASHINGTON, April 9 (Reuters) - U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx on Wednesday asked oil-by-rail leaders to create a tank car fit to carry the kinds of fuel involved in recent fiery derailments even as he dodged lawmaker questions about when such a plan would be ready.
Rail shipments of oil have been on the rise in regions that lack sufficient pipelines such as North Dakota's Bakken energy patch, where production is nearing 1 million barrels per day and roughly 72 percent of that fuel moves on the tracks.
But several accidents saw the rail cargoes explode with surprising force since summer, prompting demands for a tougher tank car to carry the fuel.
Foxx said his agency was working hard to come up with a new tank car design.
"My target date is as soon as possible," Foxx told a panel of the Senate Appropriations Committee when asked when the new standard would be ready.
The Department of Transportation is responsible for mandating a new tank car design, but officials are counting on input from industry.
The Association of American Railroads has gathered together oil producers, shippers, tank car manufacturers and others to try to design a tank car that will satisfy regulators.
But industry sources say compromise has been difficult among stakeholders with different concerns such as costs and whether an overly bulky model might limit cargoes.
Foxx wrote to association President Edward Hamberger on Wednesday, encouraging the industry to continue its work and update officials on progress soon.
Officials agree that the workhorse for oil-by-rail deliveries, the model DOT-111, is the wrong container for fuel shipments that are expected to climb in the years ahead.
Many shippers are phasing out DOT-111s in favor of a toughened model known as version 1232, but officials have said even that tank car needs design upgrades and a blessing from regulators.
"Even the railroad industry and the DOT have been talking about going beyond the 1232," National Transportation Safety Board chair Deborah Hersman told lawmakers. "We think that's wise given the risk here."
A design favored by the railroad association would require tank cars to be fitted with pressure relief valves, to sit within a steel jacket and have larger shields at either end to prevent puncture.
A further meeting of the tank car panel is scheduled for next week.
Also on Wednesday, the Federal Railroad Administration said that it intended to mandate a minimum of two-person crews on most trains. The practice of having more than one crew member is already an industry standard. (Editing by Jonathan Oatis)

Barca need a coach with character like Luis Enrique
06 May 2014 [17:50] -
The former Blaugrana striker says his old boss would be an ideal candidate to succeed Tata Martino due to his philosophy and mentality
Former Barcelona B attacker Jonathan Soriano believes that the club are in need of a coach with character like Luis Enrique.
It has been rumoured that the Catalans are looking to replace current boss Gerardo Martino at the end of the campaign, with the Celta Vigo boss reportedly in the frame.
And Soriano, who worked with the former Spain international during his time at Camp Nou believes his old coach ticks all the boxes.
"Barca now need a coach with character and clear ideas," the Red Bull Salzburg striker told SER.
"And everyone knows that Luis Enrique doesn't miss that. Enrique knows how to deal with big players. At first when he was at Roma, he clashed with [Francesco] Totti, but then delighted him.
"He wants possession but in the end, the goal is what matters. This is what we are seeing at Celta: control of the ball but attacking."

Christmas jam cookies (Day 6)
This recipe from Emily Lucko features a rich buttery cookie studded with nuts and finished with jam.
Christmas jam cookies
340 g (1 1/2 cups) butter, softened
425 ml (1 3/4 cups) icing sugar, divided
1 egg
500 ml (2 cups) all-purpose flour
250 ml (1 cup) cornstarch
250 ml (1 cup) very finely chopped walnuts
250 ml (1 cup) very finely chopped pecans
125 ml (1/2 cup) raspberry jam
15 ml (1 tbsp) orange juice
In a large bowl, cream together butter and 250 ml (1 cup) icing sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the egg. Sift together flour and cornstarch and add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the nuts. Wrap the dough in wax paper and chill for at least 4 hours.
Preheat oven to 160C (325F). On a floured surface, roll dough out 5 mm (1/4 in) thick, cut out shapes with cookie cutters and place on lightly oiled cookie sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. While cookies are baking, heat jam with orange juice in microwave at low heat until mixed and melted. Cool cookies on sheets for a few minutes, then remove to wire racks with wax paper underneath for easy cleanup. While cookies are still warm, lightly brush with jam mixture, then sprinkle with some of the remaining icing sugar. Sprinkle again when cool. Yields about 7 dozen.
Tester's notes: With a combination of pastry-like cookie, nuts and jam, this lovely little cookie resembles an Austrian Linzer torte. The nuts need to be chopped very fine for this delicate cookie, and the dough really does need four hours of chilling or it will be too fragile and fiddly to work with. I used seedless raspberry jam, but you could experiment.

Jeff Bridges is riding mighty high these days. His performance in "Crazy Heart" is generating so much attention it looks as though he's a shoo-in for an Oscar this year. And that's a tough call given the outstanding work from all of the nominees for Best Actor.
Bridges plays Bad Blake (gotta love the name), a broken-down alcoholic country singer who's been reduced to playing in bowling alley bars. But that's OK for Bad. Getting by is all he cares about — until he meets Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal, also up for an Oscar). Twenty-five years his junior, she manages to re-ignite that long lost spark of hope, which Bad so desperately needs.
Few actors have maintained the flawless reputation acquired by Bridges over the course of 35 years. He possesses that rare gift of becoming his character. As you watch him in films such as "The Big Lebowski" and "Starman," you truly believe he's the guy. Acting without acting defines Bridges' immense talent.
As if it couldn't get any better, Bridges sings and plays the guitar in "Crazy Heart," adding vast credibility to his performance. The original-and-totally-rockin' songs are written by T-Bone Burnett and Stephen Bruton. Colin Farrell (who also does his own singing) plays Bad's protégé with such respect it almost seems like art imitating life. Halfway through the film, Robert Duvall shows up in a small but powerful role as Bad's old friend. Not bad casting for first time director and former actor Scott Cooper.
Bad Blake is a guy who buckles up when he gets out of the car (having urinated en route via plastic container). Somehow it just seems right. As I see it, The Dude has magnificently morphed into Bad Blake, and it's a damn fine move.

LAWTON — The period of uncertainty between the firing of Tulsa coach Doug Wojcik and the hiring of new coach Danny Manning brought some tense times for Golden Hurricane signee D'Andre Wright.
Super 5: Tulsa signee D'Andre Wright excited about Danny Manning hire
But the Manning hire couldn't have been a much better fit for the Lawton Eisenhower big man.
Wright's skill set essentially was cut from the same cloth as Manning's, who used it to produce a long, successful NBA career.
"I don't remember ever seeing him play, but I've seen a couple clips on YouTube," said Wright, a member of The Oklahoman's Super 5 team. "He played similar to what I do, a mismatch forward who can shoot and post up.
"I know he was a great player and he's done a good job coaching big men, so I know he'll be about to prepare me for the next level."
Wright averaged 17.0 points and 8.5 rebounds in guiding Lawton Ike to the Class 6A state tournament for the first time since 2007, and he knows his game has plenty of room to grow.
He lost all of his junior season to a broken leg, which slowed his progress as a player, and kept him off the radar for colleges. But he was able to get some exposure on the AAU circuit and pick up the attention from Tulsa.

The last born of five siblings, the female Dachshund mix dog was so small when born, that she weighed just one ounce and could fit on a spoon. Now two week old, the cutie can still comfortably fit atop a credit card or even, an iPhone.
Though Beyoncé, is now in good care, such was not the case just a short time ago. Her mother, a one-year-old dog named Casey was abandoned by its owner in San Bernardino, California, whilst she still pregnant.
The stray dog was picked up and placed in a dog pound, who believe it or not, were planning to put her down, because they did not have enough room to accommodate the mother and her soon to be born litter. Fortunately, a last minute plea was answered by Grace Foundation, a rescue center in El Dorado Hills, California, who agreed to take in the soon-to-be-mother.
However, that was not the end of Beyoncé's ordeal. When born, she was so small that the veterinarian, Dr. Michael Russell, thought she was stillborn - She had no heartbeat and was not breathing! He tried giving her heart compressions, but nothing worked.
Just as he was about to declare her dead, his assistant Beth De Caprio jumped in and began performing a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. While it was not the most pleasant thing to do, it did clear the tiny dog's lungs and she began taking a few small breaths and then one large one - That's when they knew they had managed to save her! They decided to name this brave dog, who survived against all odds, Beyoncé because of the famous singer's super-hit song 'I am a survivor'.
The puppy still has to be bottle fed every hour because her mouth is so small. Though much smaller then her siblings, she is healthy and has even gained over three ounces. While Beyoncé, who is not expected to grow heavier than 1.5 pounds, is not officially the world's tiniest dog, the center has sent in a fast track application to the Guinness Book Of Records, to see if she can snag the title from six-year old Chihuahua, Boo Boo who is 4 inches tall and weighs 1.5 pounds!
The best news of all is that this little, soon to be famous cutie, is looking for a permanent home - Something to keep in mind just in case, you are in the search for a super cute pet!

Review: Nasty, Brutish & Short Presents/Links Hall
Festivals, Recommended Shows, Theater, Theater Reviews No Comments »"Nasty, Brutish & Short" is a wonderful title if not a particularly apt one for this DIY evening of storefront puppet theater. A more accurate title might be "Charming, Slightly-Rough-Around-the-Edges and Of Average Length." Performing at Links Hall as a part of the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival, the showcase ensures the "Chicago" part of the festival is well-represented, both in personnel and personality.
Curated by Taylor Bibat and Mike Oleon, the show consists of two programs on alternating nights, each featuring different short pieces.
For Program A, Sea Beast Theatre Company offers three vignettes. They are short, sea-salty nuggets of wit: a boy's incredibly ill-fated voyage out to sea, a mermaid and a clam both soaking in whimsy and a post-apocalyptic mouse who builds itself a post-apocalyptic robot pal. However, that last show is performed in miniature with live video feed, one that was often hard to follow. Read the rest of this entry »

Deals of the Week: Take the slow Swiss train; From Dee to Dublin
Simon Calder
Simon Calder's career in travel started at Gatwick Airport, where he cleaned aircraft for Laker Airways and later worked as a security officer. He became The Independent's Travel Correspondent in 1994, and is known as "the Man Who Pays His Way" because he does not accept free travel facilities. He writes across the Independent titles, as well as for the Evening Standard.
Wednesday 04 December 2002
The Glacier-Express traverses the Swiss Alps from Zermatt to St-Moritz, on a seven-and-a-half-hour journey that passes through seven valleys and 91 tunnels.
Is this the slowest express train in the world? The Glacier-Express traverses the Swiss Alps from Zermatt to St-Moritz, on a seven-and-a-half-hour journey that passes through seven valleys and 91 tunnels. The line is 291km (180 miles) long, with one bridge for each kilometre of its length. The highest it climbs is 2,033m (6,670ft). The best deal for travelling on it is the Flexipass, booked through the Switzerland Travel Centre (00800 1002 0030, www.myswitzerland.com), which gives three days' unlimited travel on Swiss trains for £104, falling to £87 per person if two travel together. In addition, you must reserve seats, and pay a nominal supplement, for the privately run Glacier-Express. You can find more information, in English, at the website www.glacierexpress.ch/e.
"This is an eight-hour crossing. This vessel has limited passenger facilities. There are no lifts to the main passenger area and access is by a staircase which may be unsuitable for the infirm, disabled or young children. On-board facilities consist of one main lounge." That is how P&O Irish Sea Ferries (0870 2424 777, www.poirishsea.com) sells its ferry trips to Dublin from Mostyn, a port on the Dee Estuary, between Chester and Rhyl. But if you feel strong enough to put up with the inconveniences, the fares around Christmas look good value: £79 for a three-day return between now and 6 January.

About Yehu Microfinance Trust
This loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Schalke are open to allowing Lewis Holtby move to Tottenham this month, according to managing director Horst Heldt.
Spurs last week reached an agreement with the Germany midfielder to move to White Hart Lane when his contract with the Gelsenkirchen club expires in the summer.
But Heldt said that could be brought forward if terms can be reached with Spurs.
Quoted in the Daily Mail, he said: "If Tottenham ask for Holtby in the January window, we will talk to them about it. Nothing has happened yet, but, from our point of view, we are prepared to speak to them.
"It would have to be done quickly, because we would have to find a replacement for him."

Shame, shame, shame and bah humbug I say to Ian Holroyd, Don Ford and the Burlington Post.
Do you know why the police won't do anything about this old guy?
They'd be the laughing stock of the force for arresting him.
His sales pitch — not the best asking for help with his new leg — but does he need money?
I bet he does living off of welfare or ODSP with one leg at 78.
He's been doing it for six years they say — well that's a 73-year-old man with one leg.
You try and live his life!
He's still out there trying to do something. Does he make $270 a day panhandling? I don't know. How does Ian know that?
It's nice that people are aware there are panhandlers out there and they don't need to always give them money. But plaster their faces on the front page of the community paper?
The picture of this old guy in a Santa suit, c'mon!
If I had a loonie or toonie I'd give it to him.
Do I think he's out everyday making $270? Who knows. Who cares! If you don't like what he's doing, don't give him any money.
He's asking God to bless you for helping him. I say let God deal with him when he meets up with him, but I will give him the money because I think he just might need it more than I do.
Well, thanks for the information and if I see him out on the street I'll do my best to help him if I can. And God willing I get to live and enjoy my life with my wife and kids the best I can. Thanks.

Citi Releases Latest Precious Metals Price Forecast
Citi, an active and well-established market participant in the precious metals marketplace, is out with their latest price forecast for such hard assets. From Francesca Freeman for the Dow Jones Newswires today:
Citi Monday cut its outlook on gold prices for the year ahead, but raised its view on the price prospects of the platinum group metals.
The bank cut its 2013 average gold price forecast by 4% to $1,675 a troy ounce. It raised its 2013 platinum price forecast, meanwhile, by 1.5% to $1,700/oz and its palladium outlook by 4.2% to $775/oz.
Demand is expected to outstrip supply with both platinum and palladium, with the situation more pronounced with the latter.
As for silver, Citi's outlook remains unchanged from November 2012, when the New York City-based financial services company predicted its average price would be $31 per ounce in 2013, falling to $26.50 per ounce in 2014.

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
KOLKATA, India /PRNewswire/ – ITC's new luxury hotel in Bengaluru, the ITC Hotel Royal Gardenia, was conferred the highest rating for green buildings in the world—the LEED® India Platinum rating. This recognition makes it the world's largest platinum rated hotel and is yet another manifestation of ITC's leadership in sustainability practices. ITC is the only company in the world to be carbon positive, water positive and solid waste recycling positive.
The LEED Platinum rating for the ITC Hotel is one more green milestone close on the heels of the ITC Green Centre in Gurgaon. This Centre was chosen by the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to announce her vision on Indo-U.S. collaboration on Climate Change during her last visit to India. After a tour of the building she called it the "Monument to the Future."
ITC's exemplary commitment to green practices has also enabled its hotel in Kolkata—the ITC Hotel Sonar—to be the only hotel in the world to earn carbon credits. In keeping with the ITC Commitment to the "Triple Bottom Line" philosophy, ITC Hotels has aspired to be an exemplar in the service sector and truly provides leadership to positive environmental action in a sustainable manner.
The ITC Royal Gardenia is an inclusive blend of contemporary design and international green practices, a beacon in a bustling urban environment. Built on the ethos of "responsible luxury" the hotel has adopted contemporary green practices that harness the element of nature in an inspired setting to deliver unique guest experiences.
According to Nakul Anand, chief executive, ITC Hotels Division, "The ITC Royal Gardenia exemplifies ITC's vision and is perhaps the perfect example of finding common rhythm between manmade and natural environment. The challenge was to see how luxury and responsibility could be in harmony together. Thus a series of sustainable measures and practices were embraced to ensure that elements of nature were effectively harnessed at every level inside the luxury hotel."
The hotel has utilized innovation, cutting-edge technology and design integration to earn new benchmarks in energy efficiency, water efficiency and low carbon techniques, and is a model of environmental stewardship.
The LEED-India Rating System encourages and facilitates the development of more sustainable buildings for innovation in design and environment practices.

I have the little dot mkii as well, paired with the little dot dac ii and grado sr125. They sound great; i put the GS1000 pads on the sr125's. This pushed the drivers out and made the soundstage huge. The senn HD650 arrived 2 days ago and are not broken in but they sound, well not broken in yet. They do make the grado sound bright.

I bet they started sounding sort of lame though. When I put my jumbo's on, the SS definitely increases at the expense what makes a Grado a Grado IMO. They increase comfort quite a bit and they are fine for acoustic stuff but you still lose something. I dont regret buying them but they are definitely a mixed bag.BTW this thread is three years old...just sayin, but welcome to head fi

GhostWridah - The American Dream
Artist: GhostWridah
Producer: Lowkey
Album: American Alien
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 7 votes )
On an unreleased cut premiered in the Booth earlier this week, Island-pop twosome Rock City shared their vision of the American Dream—a dream which bore a greater resemblance to Charlie Sheen than Horatio Alger. Whereas Da Spokesman and Don't Talk Much were more than happy to join in the ridiculousness of celebrity culture, Ghostwridah is a little less impressed with the state of the union, as he makes clear on the latest single off spring American Alien album. While The American Dream was originally released back in April, the concerns the Miami repper expresses here have only become more central in the months since; backed by Lowkey's slow-burning, piano-led boardwork, the freestyle alum mixes personal gripes (i.e., haters) with meditations on such urgent issues as job loss and the increasing unmanageability of the nation's wars. Has this thought-provoking cut left you hungry for more? In addition to copping Ghost's Booth-sponsored street album, fans can peep this cut's official video here.

Government considers jail for power company bosses caught fixing energy price rises
Energy Secretary announces a range of measures to crack down on energy companies
Deputy Political Editor
Thursday 31 October 2013
Power company bosses who conspire to inflate prices by rigging the energy market could soon face jail, the Government announced today following accusations of being soft on the "Big Six" firms which supply almost all of Britain's gas and electricity.
Ed Davey, the Energy and Climate Change Secretary, raised the threat of criminal sanctions similar to those which apply to bankers found guilty of manipulating financial markets for their own gain.
He also promised moves to enable customers to switch suppliers within 24 hours, rather than the typical five-week period, and an initiative to force companies to be more transparent about pricing.
The Energy Secretary set out the plans as the Government seeks to get on the front foot over the soaring energy costs.
Four of the "Big Six" companies have already announced price rises averaging more than nine per cent.
Executives from the firms came under fire after an appearance before MPs this week in which they blamed the rises on wholesale prices, so-called "green levies" and transport costs.
Mr Davey announced plans for a new criminal offence of manipulating gas and electricity prices as he delivered the Government's annual energy statement.
At the moment it is only a civil offence, with no existing criminal offence specifying price-rigging in the energy market. Officials confirmed the maximum punishment could potentially be a substantial jail sentence.
"Companies need to know that any wrongdoing will be uncovered and dealt with," Mr Davey told the Commons.
"We are going to consult on increasing the sanctions for manipulation of the energy markets, so they carry criminal penalties for the first time."
Mr Davey challenged the industry to put its customers in control.
"That means making it easy for people to change supplier to save money, it means regular market assessments to check their behaviour and it means tougher penalties for market manipulation and putting an end to opaque finances," he said.
Mr Davey said he would meet companies in the coming weeks to tell them they had to encourage competition by making it quicker and easier for customers to change their supplier.
And he announced that the energy regulator, Ofgem, was to carry out an annual review of the behaviour of companies to ensure they were acting in consumers' interests.
But Caroline Flint, the shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, protested: "It's another day, another policy that will do nothing to help people with their bills this winter.
"Hard-pressed energy customers struggling with the cost of living need action now, not endless reviews and consultations from an out-of-touch Government that refuses to stand up to the energy companies.
"What we need now is a price freeze because this is the only way we can deal with the energy companies overcharging.
Friends of the Earth energy campaigner, Sophie Neuburg, said: "Ed Davey is right. Bills are soaring thanks to rising gas prices, but promoting easier switching is like rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
"The real solutions – massive investment in energy efficiency and a rapid switch to renewables –are conspicuous by their absence from the minister's plans."
Energy UK, which represents the major firms, said: "Energy companies welcome scrutiny about how the market is working and our members have nothing to hide.
"Energy companies are also committed to quick switching and have kept government fully informed of the work already underway to cut switching times dramatically while making sure customers' consumer rights are protected. Already around one quarter of a million customers switch every month, proving it is not only possible but easy."

Kim Kardashian Doesn't Go Nude but Shows Her Bikini Body in Skin-Filled Spread!
Kim Kardashian makes a splash on the cover of FHM UK's March issue. Inside the magazine, she flaunts her bikini body in multiple skimpy suits and even poses in the water in a deceiving but not quite topless shot. Kim's no stranger to showing skin but she recently revealed her vow never to go nude for cameras again after becoming upset by her racy spread in W last year. The whole scene played out on the second episode of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, which she promoted with an appearance at Sunday's SAG Awards. Kim has more than just reality TV on her plate as she and her sisters continue to expand their brand with new projects.

ugh. I am so sick of seeing this woman everywhere.
She a marginally attractive woman who is famous for havin a big butt. She wears a ridiculous amount of makeup and often looks like a drag queen. Can't we find someone else a little more deserving of attention?

Seriously, why do we need a post on Kim getting a men's magazine cover? Aren't there better things we could be given?

Kim ruined her good looks with botox (and I don't believe for a second it was a one-time thing as she claims).
