Blockbuster closes 62 more stores in the UK
Posted By Jeff Belanger On December 6, 2013 @ 8:08 AM In General Tech | 1 Comment
Blockbuster has announced that it will be closing 62 more stores in the United Kingdom. This will also mean that 427 previous employees of the company will now be out of a job.
The closure will take place in just a few days, on December 8th, just a month after it was reported that 72 other Blockbusters would be closed. Furthermore, all corporate owned stores in the U.S. will be closed by January 14. It is also in it's second administration faze of the year, and is looking for someone to buy the business.
This marks yet another in a series of death rattles for what was once a titan in the movie and game rentals. Back in 2004 the company had over 9,000 stores and over 60,000 employees. In less than a decade the rise of services such as Netflix and the ability to rent movies on your TV, as well as on services like iTunes, have driven the company to near extinction.

Visiting Filmmaker- William E. Jones: Selected Short Films
Event: |
Visiting Filmmaker- William E. Jones: Selected Short Films This January is something of a William E. Jones month at the Wexner Center. His video Midcentury is running continuously in The Box, his photographs are featured in the exhibition More American Photographs, and Jones is joining us to present a program of his short films from the past decade. At the screening, Jones premieres a new work, Actual TV Picture, that he'll have completed in the Wexner Center's Film/Video Studio just days before the screening. The piece deals with the Paris Peace Accords, which ended the Vietnam War. Coincidentally, the 40th anniversary of the accords occurs three days before the screening. A Massillon, Ohio, native who's lived in Los Angeles for many years, Jones captures new life from the world's discarded image banks. Whether he's reclaiming unused photos from Depression-era Farm Security Administration projects, educational films, or interstitial scenes from gay porn, Jones works with a sort of lost history, obsessively analyzing and reworking his found footage through rigorous formal procedures to create a remarkable hybrid of the forgotten past. And it's fitting that this month would be such a tribute to the artist. We've had a longer and more dedicated relationship with Jones than any other artist, and through his nearly annual visits to our Film/Video Studio Program, we've helped support the creation of many of his works including most of those presented at this screening, which have gone on to be featured everywhere from the Venice Biennale to the Toronto International Film Festival. In addition, the Wexner Center Store is releasing a limited-edition DVD box set of Massillon, Jones's breakthrough 1991 film, to coincide with Jones's visit. (app. 90 mins., video) |

Susan leads the Advanced Nowcasting Research Group group, responsible for research and development into convective-scale data assimilation and numerical weather prediction-based nowcasting for the Met Office, based at the Joint Centre for Mesoscale Meteorology at Reading University.
Manager of Advanced Nowcasting Research Group based at MetOffice@Reading, University of Reading.
Susan obtained a first class degree in physics from the University of Durham and then undertook post-graduate research at the University of Oxford on remote sensing of the atmosphere of Venus.
She joined the Met Office and worked on vortex dynamics for fundamental fluid dynamics, before moving to work on the development of the formulation of the 15 km nonhydrostatic mesoscale model, particularly the dynamics and physical parametrizations, and training forecasters on the interactive mesoscale initialization.
Susan then had a short time at the Met Office/Oxford University Hooke Institute at the University of Oxford working on use of satellite data in NWP. She was promoted to lead that group before moving back to Bracknell to lead the group responsible for the development of the operational mesoscale NWP system, introducing first the original nonhydrostatic model and then the hydrostatic unified model for 15 km NWP forecasts over the UK.
She then worked at the Joint Centre for Mesoscale Meteorology (JCMM) at the University of Reading on development of a mixed phase microphysics scheme and led a group using mesoscale NWP in field study campaigns to validate and improve the model formulation, as well as to understand mesoscale processes.
Susan moved back to Bracknell to lead the final development of the operational global 3D and then 4D-variational data assimilation schemes, and the development of the linear model for use in 4D-variational data assimilation.
In 2003 Susan moved back to JCMM to lead the development of the convective scale data assimilation and nowcasting systems and exploitation of novel remote sensing data such as radar. In 2010 JCMM merged with Met Office climate science staff at University of Reading to become MetOffice@Reading.

Would you like to be notified by email when Lonnie Honeycutt publishes a new blog?
I was very excited to see that there will be an Embedded Systems class available for free at https://www.edx.org/course/utaustin/ut-6-01x/embedded-systems-shape-world/1172
It's free to sign up and take the online class at the EdX website.
More exciting is that the class is based on a TI Launchpad Tiva microcontroller development board. The Tiva Launchpad features an 80-MHz ARM Cortex M-4 MCU with 256 KB of flash storage, 32 KB of RAM and 43 general purpose I/O pins. Full specs are at the TI website here.
The class centers around hands on building of several projects, culminating in a final project in which you build an arcade-style shooter game.
This could be an excellent opportunity for those of you (and me) that are looking for a way to transition from hobby development tools to mainstream environments that are actually used in industry.
The development board can be bought from TI for $12.99, which includes free worldwide shipping. There is also a kit of parts, which it look like will be available for purchase, although these details are not finalized. Some of you may already have all the parts you need. Details about the kit are here.
The optional Nokia 5110 display is used for the final video-game project. These can be procured very inexpensively. I bought 5 of these on eBay a while back for $15. If you want to purchase from a more reputable source, Adafruit sells them for $10.
There is an optional book for the course also, Embedded Systems - Introduction to ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers. It can be purchased new at Amazon for $40. The EdX site stresses that this textbook is not required.
Class starts January 22nd!

Often baby eczema washes or bath bath products are the worst 'villians' when it come to sensitive skin or eczema, many everyday products can be loaded with potential irritants.
SLS (sodium laureth sulfate) is the most common irritant - this is a harsh detergent ingredient that creates the foam or bubbles in cleansers or washes.
Dermatologists use SLS as a "positive control" in allergy patch tests - It's that irritating.
We don't think a child's sensitive skin needs bubbles or foam - It's just not worth the irritation. That's why exederm baby eczema bath wash avoids SLS along with other unnecessary chemical additives such as harsh paraben type preservatives - why take risks?
exederm has focused on functionality rather than appearance or smell. The objective is to cleanse your baby's skin, we don't need artificial bubbles and foam to do that.
exederm gently cleanses without stripping away natural moisture and without leaving skin feeling 'tight', red or irritated.

Pisco Sour
Diary of a Foodie: Season One: Raising the Bar
Makes1 drink
- Active Time:5 min
- Start to Finish:5 min
This South American cocktail is made with Pisco, a potent brandy distilled from Muscat grapes. Tasted on its own, Pisco has an almost grappa-like intensity. A spoonful of sugar, as well as bitters and tart lemon and lime juices, helps it go down—delightfully. The drink gets its distinctive foamy head from egg white, a classic ingredient in a number of old-fashioned cocktails.
January 2007
- Ice cubes
- 1 1/2 oz (3 tablespoons) Pisco
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon superfine granulated sugar
- 1 large egg white (see Cooks' note)
- Several drops of Angostura bitters
Special equipment:
a cocktail shaker; a cocktail strainer
Fill cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add all remaining ingredients except bitters and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into an Old Fashioned or Martini glass. Sprinkle bitters onto froth.
Cooks' note: The egg white in this recipe is not cooked. For this recipe you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon dried egg white powder or 2 tablespoons liquid pasteurized egg whites.

So a couple weeks ago I tweeted out the following…
"What happens if I'm pro gay, pro choice, pro porn, pro small government, pro don't get involved in shit that doesn't involve you? Am I just fucked?"
Well people universally called me a Libertarian which I didn't even know existed. Apparently it means liberal social views and conservative financial views. Others called me a Jew. Frankly I think it's the Common Sense party. Long story short this dude Gary Johnson who I'd never seen before watching this video is the Libetarian candidate. Well I haven't voted in like 16 years because I hate Republicans and Democrats, but I think I can get on board with this fucking guy. Yup it's official. This is the first ever Barstool political endorsement. I roll with G Money.

There are three separate modules; "Pyramid Power", which covers the basics of MyPyramid, "We Wish You Well" which focuses on food safety, and "Stretching Your Food Dollars" which covers food resource management.
Current (revised) Edition: Modules have been used extensively with food stamp eligible audiences (youth and adults) as well as paraprofessionals throughout the U.S. Knowledge change was notable, and intention to change behaviors was documented as well. (per author)
Pyramid Power: This is an update to the first edition of this learning module which was based off the Food Guide Pyramid. Pyramid Power explains the basic concept of MyPyramid, and walks users through each of the food groups. Each food group has a subsection of "How Much to Eat" and "Shopping and Storage Tips." In the "How Much to Eat" subsections, users can link directly to Mypyramid.gov or MyPyramid for Kids to get a personalized MyPyramid Plan. Navigation is logical by allowing movement from one page to the next in a linear fashion. Users can also jump to different sections within the module by using a buttons found in an easy to read left hand navigation bar. Images are clear, relevant and supportive of the module's content. Though some logos on food images can be recognized, it is clear that efforts have been made to limit branding or commercial bias. The "Milk" section includes an additional subsection which discusses lactose intolerance and suggests low and no-lactose sources Calcium. This section states that "leafy greens, soy products and juice with added calcium are good non-dairy sources of calcium," which could be somewhat misleading if read as a food claim, as many leafy greens do not necessarily contain the 10-19% recommended intake of Calcium per serving necessary to be considered a "good source of calcium" according to FDA food label claim requirements.
We Wish You Well: Focusing on Food safety in the household, this module is based on three basic rules; Keep It Clean, Cook It Well, and Cool It Soon. Keep it clean reviews several sanitation topics including hand-washing, avoiding cross contamination and washing fruits and vegetables. A FSNE educator could supplement this section with in-person demonstrations, or more in-depth handouts/literature outlining the steps of proper hand-washing. Cook It Well reviews the proper cooking temperatures of various meats and properly advises users to use a food thermometer to determine doneness. In the Guide To Proper Temperatures page, the module recommends cooking poultry without stuffing to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit which is consistent with the USDA, Food Safety and Inspection Service's most up to date recommendations. The "Cool It Soon" section concisely reviews the importance of proper food storage and prompt cooling of leftovers.
Stretching Your Food Dollars: This module provides some helpful tips and instructions on basic food resource management which are divided into Strategies at Home and Strategies at the Store. Home strategies include a review of budgeting, planning ahead, and looking for sales and coupons. In-store strategies include a helpful review of unit pricing, tips for deciding between generic and brand-name products, and advise to read food labels and ingredient lists while shopping. An educator could supplement this section with a more detailed discussion or handout explaining how to read a food label.
The final slides of each module include a brief review of topics covered and a menu which can help users navigate to the remaining modules in this series.

Alexander Ovechkin Workout
Alexander Ovechkin's workout and training routine relies heavily on recovery of the body and to hinder muscle break down. Therefore, Ovechkin takes many ice baths after games and practices and gets plenty of rest. In the weight room, Ovechkin mimics real life hockey movements as much as possible. He wants to specifically strengthen those muscle groups that are more susceptible to damage on the ice.
Ovechkin doing a squat, one of his preferred workouts.
This helps with his power and explosion on the ice.
If you are an athlete and want to improve in your sport, you must follow a precise strength training, conditioning, and nutrition program. MP45 is a step-by-step athlete workout program that walks you through exactly what to do to excel as an athlete. This is the type of training and nutrition followed by many of the world's top professional athletes.
This product is not endorsed by any athlete featured on this page
Some of Alexander Ovechkin's favorite workouts:
Rear Deltoid Raises:
Deltoid raises strengthen the shoulders and stretch the chest, which helps bring additional balance across the shoulders and upper back. These are the muscle groups that take most of the hits on the ice.
The squats help bring out those additional bursts of speed on the ice.
The landmines boost rotational strength, power and recruitment of the abdominals and glutes. To do landmines, place a barbell tilted up towards you so that the bottom hits the floor and the other side is tilted vertically in front of you. Bend your legs as you twist your body to the right, taking the barbell close to the floor as you turn. Do this with the left side and repeat.
Hip flexor stretches
The hip flex stretches alleviates spinal stress and helps spinal alignment, giving more of an arched back. Even more flexibility gives the muscles and joints greater ranges of motion for longer durability on the ice.
Check out this crazy rope drill that Ovechkin does. This is crazy cardio and gets your arms ready for performance come game-time.

Re: Old Faithful
As one of the most well known national park landmarks, one major fact about Old Faithful is largely unknown to the general public. The name itself actually belongs to the whale that lingers under the ground in a mass of water. There is but one pocket of air this whale is able to release it's blow. So if you get a chance, drop down some plankton to keep that whale healthy so he can stay regular for years to come. Thanks!
Re: DEATH NATIONAL PARK
I'd like to give you a vote, but the sign just seems off to me... Maybe not even the sign as much as the type. It just doesn't seem to fit in well with the design. Maybe some distressing or giving it a more "carved" look would suit it better... Idk, just my thoughts.

jabberjaws13 wrote:well i like the lungs, as do a lot of people here. go pick on someone else.
For serious, take a deep breath and calm down a little bit. I know you feel it's sinful to question or criticize the all knowing ever designing ramy, but two things: 1. The lung effect puts this is danger of rejection, which for any artist but ramy would be a near certainty given the substantial similarity to the shirts already posted. 2. As many females have already stated, this is just not a shirt that pairs well with boobies especially for our lovely full figured ladies. A slight shift away from the lung effect alleviates both concerns. I'm not sure why you'd be against a ramy shirt getting wider appeal?

Since I live in a country with no national parks, here are Les Mielles - proposed for our first national park. Currently a Site of Special Interest, the coastal dune system with its marram grass (Ammophila arenaria} covering will become part of our first national park if government proposals are approved by the legislature. The style of the shirt would be, I intend, suitable for wear by the surfers who frequent the coast hereabouts and for the picnickers and barbecuers amid the dunes. Until the 1970s the environment suffered, with rubbish dumps and cars driving over the dunes. Environmental action has cleaned up the dunes and banned the vehicles to stop erosion and restore the natural growth. This is a place I really love - I used to play in the blow-outs when little - so I'm giving a teensy bit of love back in this shirt design.
Re: Please Dispose Of Thoughtfully.
i really liked how you put such emphasis on the bottle. really stands out and gets the point across. but i'm worried that since the other lines are so faint, that maybe after a few washes, people will be right at my chest (i'm male, not a huge problem) squinting to see them.
Like the scribbly style and the cute concept.
Re: polar preserve
i think woot would've been more justified in saying "off topic" because it does not really present a "national park". i'd resub with something more along those lines, but i like the message (polar bears losing ice to live on . . . and the oil (that is a story in itself)).
Naughty but nice! In fact, it's getting me quite excited...
This will print horribly. All that will be seen is the orange.
Re: Wildlife in Nepal
Happy animals. Happy shirt. Happy shirt-wearers!
Re: Visit Deep Guano Cavern
ahahaha, i like it. funny, and i like the lettering.
Re: New Beginning
i really like the idea here, but the little tiny sprout is a bit tough to see. a little bigger = better. just so people instantaneously get the message.
Ceci n'est pas un parc national.
National Park theme present: no Creepy: yes.
Re: ATLien National Park
Might just be me and my penchant for squiggles... but I'd have liked this even more with more of that groovy Art Nouveau smoke.
Re: paven national park
Collab with tabak. Still unsure of colors. May resub a bit later.
Aren't you afraid you are going to split your votes and have both miss if you have 2 shirts so similar?

Unsurprisingly, pink-haired Miyuki-chan will be dressed in Sheryl Nome's "military uniform" concert outfit-- for those unaware, the two characters feature the same voice actress, Aya Endo. Tsukasa is the Ranka to Miyuki's Sheryl...kind of ironic, when you think about it: the two least popular characters in Lucky Star (of the primary four) are playing the two most popular characters in Macross F, hm.
Kagami is dressed as Klan Klan, while gender-bending lovers will adore Konata dressed as Macross F's indecisive hero, Alto. There are other items available as well, it looks like, including the three younger Lucky Star characters dressed as waitresses from Ranka's restaurant, Konata dressed as that funny little green critter that runs off with Sheryl's undergarments in one episode, a few of the fighter jet models, and others. It's pretty epic.
The release date is set for September, and it looks like the MSRP per figure is ¥800 (about $8.20 USD). I'd bet on them being in the $10-20 range when imported, but it looks like we won't be seeing them at the big summer cons this year, alas! Still, how adorable are they? I want a full set. I can't wait until we can see the full paint versions.
What do you guys think? I'd also be kind of interested to see another set with the characters all cosplaying slightly differently-- maybe Yutaka as Ranka, Patricia as Sheryl, Minami as Klan Klan, and Minoru Shiraishi as Alto. Hmm!

Most fixtures attach by slipping a mounting flange into the center channel of the track and then turning the fixture to force the flange under the track so that it contacts the internal wiring. Check the instructions to determine the maximum number of fixtures your track can handle.

What Makes Pet Play House Different
Home-like, cage-free facility for all daycare and boarding doggies
Whether staying in a luxury condo or just a day of daycare, we provide a very different feel than a traditional "kennel" type environment, complete with TV's, music, furniture, sunshine, and grass – just like your doggie is used to at home!
The only doggie daycare and boarding facility in the area built specifically for dogs
After over 10 years in our original facility, we know what it takes to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and safe. We have used that knowledge and experience to design a state-of-the-art facility that caters to dogs!
Indoor play areas are connected to the outdoor yards so dogs have free in/out access as they choose
Dogs in group play always have outdoor access- This is great for teaching and reinforcing potty training.
Large windows and skylights let the natural sun shine into the indoor play areas
Plenty of natural sun light creates a healthy and stress-free environment. Advanced ventilation system and bright, airy facility makes for a clean, safe, and fresh-smelling environment.
Outdoor yards and indoor areas are covered in K-9 Grass cushioned by sand and raised grids underneath
Dogs wrestle, run, or lay in the sun on a soft, comfortable surface rather than asphalt or concrete.
Staffed 24 hours a day
Dogs are never left alone. We provide 24 hour care and attention 7 days a week, every day of the year.
Small dog only area with its own yard, separate from the big doggie areas
This is great for little doggies that prefer the company of dogs their own size – however if your little dog prefers to play with bigger dogs he or she can do that too!
Voted best daycare and boarding in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013
The readers of the Reno News and Review have voted us as the best doggie daycare and best pet boarding in Northern Nevada, and the readers of Reno Magazine have chosen us as the best place to board your pet!

This is what I would wear to the office if I worked at, say, Vogue: Black Halo's tweed and silk cami dress (left). I'd pair it with a shrunken cashmere cardigan, 5-inch stilettos and dark-rimmed Chanel reading glasses, worn precipitously at the tip of my nose. But seeing as how I don't work at Vogue, I'll forgo the fantasy for the affordable frock on the right. And with the money I save, I'll pick up a copy of My Misspent Youth.

Our Verdict
Endearing Mickey Mouse's head design, but the sound is poor
Endearing design
Sounds bright and edgy
Reviewed on
If you think the Mplayer looks like Mickey Mouse's head, you'd be spot on.
This cutesy, 1GB MP3 player is an iRiver and Disney collaboration. It's easy to poke fun at its appearance, but the design is strangely endearing.
Twist the right ear to skip track and the left to alter volume. Our main concern lies with sound quality – or terminal lack of it.
The Mplayer sounds bright and edgy. One for the kids – but only if they've been especially bad.

Nearly ALL foreign oil comes through New Orleans or Houston. Just on my own property in South Louisiana, there is a pipeline, though which 1/8 of our natural gas supplies flow. I, just me by myself, could sabotage that one line and watch New England freeze to death. Louisiana would be THE power broker of the world.

All too soon, MASTERPIECE CLASSIC Downton Abbey Season 3 (Sun., Feb. 17, 2013, 8:00 pm) comes to an end in Part 7 on PBS Hawaii.
I knew that a surprise ending was in store and tried to keep from knowing it--despite receiving, as PBS Hawaii CEO, advance copies of the entire season. When diehard fans approached me about "that ending," I did my best to defer the conversation. However, as I prepare to watch the final episode of Season 3, I've inadvertently learned what happens. Say it ain't so!
Did you see last week's Huffington Post article on Downton? The writer referred to "maybe a half-dozen 'Downton Abbey' fans who don't know the shocking truth."
If you're one of those few still, here's a blurb that doesn't bust your bubble--yet.
The Crawleys head to a Scottish hunting lodge, while the downstairs staff stays behind at the abbey. New romances flare up, and a crisis unfolds.
In case you missed any episodes, look for the opportunity at the show's conclusion to obtain the entire Season 3 on DVD. Makes a great gift for Downtown fans!

Canon General / Re: Canon Profits Grow in 2014 on Equipment Sales & Reshuffling of Camera Business
« on: April 24, 2014, 12:59:07 PM »Camera sales, however, fell by 22 percent year-on-year in the quarter, as the world's biggest camera maker struggled with the prevalence of high-quality smartphone cameras and a saturation in the high-end, single-lens-reflex camera market.</p>
More like it struggled because yet with the "prevalence of high-quality smartphone cameras and saturation of the dSLR" they still for the past 2-3 years continue to focus the "majority" of their releases on more powershot, rebel, and kit lens garbage.
Doesn't make sense does it? They mention smartphone entry and saturation of dslrs yet continue to fuel product releases and resources for these markets - ignoring the upper tier segment with the exception of a 24-70 2.8 II and 200-400 1.4x and we wonder why Canon is struggling. So much for the "dual pixel innovative technology" on the 70d to save the Camera division sales...not driving it so much eh?

Intercom Systems
There are two primary types of aviation intercom systems: portable and panel mount intercoms.
Portable aviation intercom systems are great for pilots who don't own their own planes. We offer powerful, functional yet portable intercom systems that fit right into your flight bag and go everywhere you do. A portable aviation intercom should be lightweight and not excessively bulky. Generally, portable systems draw power from either a cigarette lighter adapter or an internal battery.
Panel mount aviation intercom systems are physically attached to the aircraft. They draw power from the aircraft's electrical system. Installation is simple enough for most owner-operators to handle themselves.
You will see a number of places specified for each aviation intercom system. This refers to the number of individuals who can connect to the intercom. This number ranges from 2 to 6.
Aviation intercom systems often include the following features: voice activation; input jack allowing music to stream over headsets; isolate circuit (so the pilot can speak to ATC or the co-pilot without breaking into passenger conversations). If you're uncertain which aviation intercom system is best for your needs, please give us a call. Our expert staff will assess your needs and recommend the product that's best for you.

Local love: I'm smitten with Vintage By Misty (and win $ for shopping local)
Misty and I have been "dating" for months now: a friend would try to set us up, and then we'd email, or text on Facebook, and then another friend would tell me that Misty is perfect for me, and then Misty would hear the same thing.
Misty owns a vintage fashion shop downtown, full of Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent and leopard print and everyone who knows the two of us wanted to get us together. It happened, at long last. I went in. I lost my mind. I was there until the shop closed. I bought Christmas presents. I made Christmas wish lists. And now I email her once a week about another thing I need. She also has an Etsy shop for her higher-end things, but then you won't get to scope the bargain finds, or meet Misty, which is half the fun.

The Bank of Canada (French: Banque du Canada) is Canada's central bank.[1] The bank was founded by the Bank of Canada Act[2] on July 3, 1934, as a privately owned corporation. In 1938, the bank became a Crown corporation, belonging to the monarch in right of Canada.[3] The Minister of Finance holds the entire share capital issued by the bank. "Ultimately, the Bank is owned by the Minister of Finance on behalf of Her Majesty in right of Canada."[2][4]
The role of the bank is to "promote the economic and financial well-being of Canada."[5] The responsibilities of the bank are: monetary policy;[6] sole issuing authority of Canadian banknotes;[7][8] the promotion of a safe, sound financial system within Canada;[9] and funds management and central banking services "for the federal government, the Bank and other clients."[10][11]
The bank headquarters are located at the Bank of Canada Building in the nation's capital, Ottawa. The structure also houses the Currency Museum, which opened in December 1980.[12]
On March 11, 1935, the central bank began operations, following the granting of Royal Assent to the Bank of Canada Act. Initially the bank was founded as a privately owned corporation in order to ensure it was free from political influence. Earlier in 1933, Prime Minister R.B. Bennett called a Royal Commission[13] and it reported in favour of a central bank. Its members consisted of Britain's chief propagandist during the early part of World War II, Lord Macmillan, who supported central banking, as well as various British and Canadian bankers. Gerald Grattan McGeer was one of the most forceful voices in Canada advocating government intervention in the monetary system and nationalizing the credit system. His vision of monetary reform predated the establishment of the Bank of Canada. Also involved was John Edward Brownlee, then Premier of Alberta, petitioning in favor of a central bank because western farmers wanted cheap credit.[14] In 1938, under Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, it became "a special type of " Crown corporation, fully owned by the government and thus, in effect, by the Canadian taxpayers, with the governor appointed by Cabinet.
Prior to the creation of the Bank of Canada, the Canadian Treasury was responsible for printing Canada's bank notes. The Bank of Montreal, then the nation's largest bank, acted as the government's banker. A major proponent was the Royal Bank of Canada, which wanted to see the government business taken away from its rival. When the central bank was founded, the government claimed it was constrained by its foreign debts and it would be less costly to borrow money if it could be repaid in debased currency. The government also claimed it was constrained by its inability to deal directly with its foreign debts. The farmers were joined by manufacturing interests and other groups in favor of a depreciating currency, all demanding a central bank. The original name the Bank of Canada (commercial) was a private bank and was renamed the Canadian Bank of Commerce. In 1949, the private banks were ordered to remove their currency from circulation and the central bank became the sole issuer of legal tender bank notes in Canada.[15]
The bank played an important role in financing Canada's war effort during World War II[16] by printing money and buying the government's debt. After the war, the bank's role was expanded as it was mandated to encourage economic growth in Canada. An Act of Parliament in September 1944 established the subsidiary Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) to stimulate investment in Canadian businesses. Prime Minister John Diefenbaker central bank monetary policy was directed towards increasing the money supply to cause low interest rates, and have full employment. When inflation began to rise in the early 1960s, the governor James Coyne ordered a reduction in the money supply.
Since the 1980s, keeping inflation low has been the central bank's main priority. In the early 1990s the fractional banking rules of Canada were changed so the Bank of Canada could no longer dictate the amount of fiat currency reserves that Canadian chartered banks must own.
The mandate of the Bank of Canada is defined in the Bank of Canada Act preamble and it states,
WHEREAS it is desirable to establish a central bank in Canada to regulate credit and currency in the best interests of the economic life of the nation, to control and protect the external value of the national monetary unit and to mitigate by its influence fluctuations in the general level of production, trade, prices and employment, so far as may be possible within the scope of monetary action, and generally to promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada.[2]
The bank's current mission statement is: The Bank of Canada's responsibilities focus on the goals of low, stable and predictable inflation; a safe and secure currency; a stable and efficient financial system in Canada and internationally; and effective and efficient funds-management services for the Government of Canada, as well as on its own behalf and for other clients.[11]
In practice, however, it has a more narrow and specific internal definition of that mandate: to keep the rate of inflation (as measured by the Consumer Price Index) between 1% and 3%. Since the Bank's creation, the average annual inflation rate was 3.13%.[17] The most potent tool the Bank of Canada has to achieve this goal is its ability to set the interest rate for borrowed money. The Bank of Canada periodically asks Statistics Canada to adjust the way the Consumer Price Index is calculated, a crucial factor in the calculation of inflation.[18]
The Bank of Canada is the sole authority authorized to issue currency in the form of bank notes in Canada. The bank does not issue coins; they are issued by the Royal Canadian Mint.
Historically, the Bank of Canada functioned as the financier of Canadian public deficits in the Federal, Provincial, and Municipal budgets providing loans to fund government spending at interest rates as low as 1%. This practice allowed for public debts to be repaid more quickly, but at the cost of higher inflation. The growth of the federal government through the 1960s led to rapidly increasing federal deficits. As these were covered by the Bank of Canada, inflation rose steadily from 2% in 1961 to a high of 12.5% in 1974. That year, with inflation at a 20-year high, the Government of Canada abandoned this method of financing in favor of borrowing from private banks at market rates on the reasoning that paying interest on its debt was less harmful to Canadians than high inflation - a policy now followed by most advanced economies. An alternative approach that was not chosen in Canada was to address the high rate of inflation by decreasing but not eliminating the deficit financed by the Bank of Canada.
It is important to distinguish between the right to "issue money," which is the right of the Bank of Canada, and the ability to "create credit," which, through legislation and regulation enacted by Parliament, is largely done by commercial banks through the issuance of loans. While all of Canada's money is created by the government through deficit spending, if "money" is thought of as the combination of issued money and bank-created credit, then presently, the Bank of Canada "issues" less than 5% of Canada's money, with the remainder (95%) being "created" by commercial banks through the process of fractional-reserve banking.[19]
The Bank is not a government department as it performs its activities at arm's-length from the government; it is a Crown corporation owned by the Government. Shares are directly held by the Minister of Finance on behalf of Her Majesty in right of Canada which are registered by the Bank in the name of the Minister in the books of the Bank at Ottawa, and the bank's earnings go into the federal treasury. The Governor and Senior Deputy Governor are appointed by the Bank's Board of Directors. The Deputy Minister of Finance sits on the Board of Directors but does not have a vote. The Bank submits its spending to the Board of Directors, while federal departments submit their spending estimates to the Treasury Board. Its employees are regulated by the Bank and not the federal public service agencies.[2]
The Bank has a zero book value policy on its balance sheet—matching total assets to total liabilities—and transfers any equity above this amount as a dividend to the Government of Canada. The Bank of Canada owns C$61 billion in Government of Canada debt and had a net income in 2011 of $1.25 billion. The Bank of Canada matches its liabilities of $61 billion in currency outstanding—to its assets owning $61 billion in Government of Canada debt. The bank notes in circulation have changed from $55.4 billion in two years to $61 billion. In 2008, the Bank of Canada had its highest annual report total asset, total liabilities number at $78 billion. The Bank of Canada lists cash on its 2012 third-quarter balance sheet at $4.4 million in currency and foreign deposits.[13] The Bank of Canada's books are audited by external auditors who are appointed by Cabinet on the recommendation of the Minister of Finance, and not by the Auditor General of Canada.
It is important to note, the balance sheet policy employed by the Bank of Canada is that this base money is not permanent, as for each created dollar of credit there is a matching liability created on the Bank of Canada's balance sheet—and is a zero sum once the debt is paid off. True money is only issued as reserve currency for commercial bank lending by the government. Also called high-powered money, this money can then be multiplied by a factor outside of government control through bank lending.
The Bank of Canada 2008 balance sheet expanded to $78.3 billion from $53.7 billion from the year previously. After the financial crisis, these emergency asset purchases were unwound and removed from the central bank's balance sheet. This specific quantitative easing represented a fifty percent increase in the size of the central bank's balance sheet. This central bank transaction was referenced under "securities purchased for resale" from Canada's major banks. It was termed advances to members of the Canadian Payments Association and were liquidity loans made under the Bank's standing liquidity facility as well as term advances made under the Bank's commitment to provide term liquidity to the Canadian financial system.[20]
The head of the Bank of Canada is the Governor, who is appointed by the Bank's Board of Directors. The Governor is appointed for a seven-year term, and can be dismissed by the government. In case of a profound disagreement between the government and the Bank, the Minister of Finance can issue written instructions for the Bank to change its policies.[2] This has never actually happened in the history of the Bank to date. In practice, the Governor sets monetary policy independently of the government. Canadian banknotes are signed by the governor and deputy governor of the Bank of Canada.
The Bank of Canada has a team of chemists, physicists, and engineers it had assembled for the development of the Canadian Journey Series who determine potential counterfeiting threats and assess substrate materials and potential security features for use in banknote designs.[23] It is part of the "Four Nations Group" of central banks, which includes the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Mexico, that collaborate on banknote security research, testing, and development.[23]

Cracking Miami's private security market wasn't easy for Andrew Wilson. South Florida doesn't have as many Middle Eastern monarchs in need of a private security detail, and the ex-soldier didn't speak a lick of Spanish. But he did know a helluva lot about guns.
Wilson began teaching small groups how to use a handgun, charging $75 a session. Slowly but surely, he built up a loyal following. But his clients weren't just locals. Some were Latin American soldiers and security experts themselves, like Gerry, a Mexican martial arts instructor who took Wilson's courses during visits to Miami (Gerry asked New Times to withhold his surname out of concerns for his family's safety). When Gerry later began training police officers in León's Special Tactical Group (GET in Spanish), he suggested bringing in Wilson to teach them how to combat rising drug violence.
That's how Wilson ended up in Mexico on the most controversial mission of his career. He quickly decided harsh tactics would be needed on the squad of cocky cops. "We broke them in three days," Wilson says. "We did that by pushing them and pushing them and screaming at them."
And shooting at them. Videos Wilson posted on his website show the León officers storming the abandoned building in the desert and blasting targets with real bullets as fellow cops stand just inches away.
"We could never teach this stuff in the U.S.," Wilson says with a mixture of amusement and pride. "I'm very big on stress training and pushing people as much as possible. We're not going there and hurting them just for the sake of hurting them."
But hurt them he did. The most serious exercises involved teaching the Mexican cops how to operate more like an army while executing operations to take out the cartels that controlled the surrounding state of Guanajuato.
Wilson divided the cops into two teams. One would play the part of the narcos. The other would surveil and then ambush the compound where the narcos hid.
When Wilson caught the oblivious scouts by surprise, he ordered the team to drag their fellow cop to a foul-smelling black pit infested with rats. They lowered their captive headfirst into the darkness and waterboarded him. The man went into shock, but a medic was on hand to help. "When I was in the military, all that would be part of basic training," Wilson says. "It's not that extreme in my book, but it looks extreme."
Wilson and Gerry earned about $16,000 for three weeks of whipping the León officers into shape, but not everyone appreciated the lesson. Three weeks later, videos of the waterboarding session broke on the local news.
"Some of the guys that were pissed off at us, that had a hard time, leaked the videos to get back at us," Wilson says.
It worked. Within 24 hours, the torture tapes had spread like wildfire from one news station to the next. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch were outraged.
The scandal could not have happened at a more sensitive time for U.S.-Mexico relations. The countries' presidents, Bush and Felipe Calderón, had just signed a deal sending $1.5 billion south of the border to combat drug cartels. The Mexican media's message was clear: The gringos are teaching our already corrupt cops how to torture like at Abu Ghraib.
Risks Inc. was suddenly infamous. "Company That Led Training in Torture Techniques for Mexican Police Is Risks Incorporated of Miami, Florida," wrote Narco News. Like Blackwater, which had been thrown out of Iraq in 2007 after massacring innocent civilians, Wilson's small security company suddenly became a symbol for the excesses of all international security companies worldwide.
"It had to do with Mexican politics more than anything else," Wilson says. "The same weekend we were accused of this BS, 11 people were beheaded in Culiacán. Why wasn't that reported? Because we made an easy target."
John Walbridge Jr. might be Miami's most secretive man. The Vietnam veteran turned CIA spook spent years covering his tracks, first in the rainforests of Southeast Asia and then in agency operations across the Third World.
Today, however, as he slides into a seat at a quiet café in Buena Vista, he can't help but betray hints of the millions he's earned during his postgovernment career in private security. There's his silver BMW sedan, for starters, and the golden Citadel ring on his right hand. And then there is his elephant skin briefcase.
"If you look at the animal kingdom, you can learn a lot about security," says the sexagenarian with tanned skin, a boyishly handsome face, and a toothy smile. "The lion is not interested in looking good. He just wants to eat."
His company, Overseas Security and Strategic Information Inc. (OSSI), has made more than $100 million escorting dignitaries around Iraq and Afghanistan with assault rifles. Yet, like a lion lying low in the grass, Walbridge has remained largely out of sight.
Walbridge was destined by birth to be a soldier. His father, John Walbridge Sr., was in the U.S. Army. From 1957 to 1958, long before the Gulf of Tonkin and while Junior was still in elementary school, Walbridge Sr. was already in Vietnam as an adviser to South Vietnam's anti-communist government. It was a battle that his son would join nearly 20 years later.
Outstanding article! Thanks to Michael Miller for the insight. This is just another example of the far, right wing, republican push to privatize all government function. And the purpose of privatization - quid pro quo. Capitalist thugs get to feed at the government trough (while telling everyone else not to expect anything from their government), in exchange for kick backs in the form of direct and indirect campaign contributions. Just look at what happened with Florida Education Secretary, Tony Bennett. He and his republican friends in Indiana government received millions from a charter school owner, and, when asked to fix the "C" grade her school was given, he changed the the way school grades are determined.
All of these Risk/Blackwater scum should be rounded up, herded into a large building and gassed. Feed their remains to the fish.
Nice to know we have so many talented protectors in Miami to help police any trouble.?
