DEFINITION of 'Henry Paulson'
The 74th Secretary of the U.S. Treasury under President George W. Bush from July 2006 through January 2009. Henry "Hank" Paulson, Jr. began his career on the White House Domestic Council as a staff assistant from 1970 to 1973. He then worked in finance for 32 years at Goldman Sachs before succeeding John Snow as Treasury Secretary.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Henry Paulson'
Paulson became Goldman's chairman and CEO in 1999 when the firm went public and held those roles until he became Treasury Secretary. As Treasury Secretary, he is best known for his efforts to resolve the financial crisis, including contributions to Dodd-Frank. He was instrumental in implementing the Troubled Asset Relief Program and the AIG bailout, as well as getting toxic mortgage-based assets off banks' balance sheets. He also helped create the $168 billion economic stimulus package. In 2008, he was a runner-up for Time's Person Of The Year.
Paulson helped improve U.S. economic relations with China during his tenure. In addition, he worked to modernize the system for issuing U.S. Treasury bonds, helped improve the national security review process in order to spur foreign investment in the United States, and spearheaded a program to fight the funding of terrorist groups. He also worked to improve the United States' trading relationships with Panama, Colombia, South Korea and Peru.
After leaving the Treasury Department, he became chairman and founder in 2011 of The Paulson Institute at the University of Chicago, a think tank focused on sustainable economic growth and preserving the natural environment in the United States and China. He is a Christian Scientist and an environmentalist; he has played a major role in the Nature Conservancy, where he was chairman from 2004 to 2006 and contributed to environmental conservation efforts in Asia. He earned his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth and his MBA from Harvard Business School.

CLERMONT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky bourbon remains authentically American, whiskey insiders maintain — even when some of its distillers answer to foreign companies.
The planned $13.62 billion acquisition of the owner of Jim Beam and Maker's Mark by a Japanese company adds two more classic brands to the lineup of bourbon staples tied to foreign-based parent companies. Wild Turkey and Four Roses are other historic brands with foreign ownership connections.
But the caramel-colored liquor is made almost exclusively in the Bluegrass state, and some master distillers have family ties going as far back as the state's pioneer whiskey-making days. Jim Beam's master distiller, Fred Noe, is a descendant of Jacob Beam, who set up his first Kentucky still in 1795.
In a booming industry that swears by tradition, that history is a valuable commodity, and reassures aficionados that while the mailing address for some corporate headquarters may change, the taste of the bourbon won't.
"Ultimately, what the consumer should be interested in is the product," said Chuck Cowdery, an American whiskey writer and author of "Bourbon, Straight." ''There's absolutely no reason that the product should change. So the consumer really doesn't have anything to be concerned about."
Four Roses bourbon sales shot upward since being acquired in 2002 by Japanese-based Kirin Brewery Co., but production was untouched.
"We run the distillery exactly the way we always ran it," said Jim Rutledge, master distiller at Four Roses. "Nothing has changed except ownership."
Industry insiders predicted fans of Beam's bourbons are unlikely to notice changes trickling down from Monday's announcement that Suntory Holdings Ltd., a Japanese beverage company, will acquire Beam Inc., whose spirits portfolio includes other whiskey, cognac, tequila and vodka brands.
The transaction will create a global spirits heavyweight with annual sales of more than $4.3 billion. Beam, based in Deerfield, Ill., was spun off as a stand-alone liquor company in 2011 and will continue with its current management under the Suntory banner.
"It's business as usual," said Beam spokesman Clarkson Hine, noting Suntory has indicated it wants the company to "keep doing what we're doing."
Rutledge predicted that people will eventually forget who owns the Jim Beam and Maker's Mark brands.
The transaction comes at a time of surging bourbon sales. In the U.S., sales volume for bourbon and Tennessee whiskeys such as Jack Daniel's has grown 26 percent over the past decade, according to the Distilled Spirits Council, an industry group. Exports of U.S. whiskeys have grown to roughly $1 billion last year, more than double what they were a decade ago.

Open Peterson hearing urged
A coalition of newspapers urged a judge Thursday to keep open the preliminary hearing for accused double murderer Scott Peterson, saying closing the proceeding would inflict a "loss of public confidence in the criminal justice system."
Prosecutors are expected to lay out closely guarded evidence at the preliminary hearing, which is scheduled for Sept. 9. At its close, Judge Al Girolami will decide whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.
District Attorney James Brazelton said in June that he wanted to conduct a preliminary hearing in the case -- rather than indict Peterson through a closed grand jury proceeding -- to counter misinformation.
Peterson, who is accused of murdering his wife, Laci, and the couple's unborn son, Conner, has asked a judge to close the hearing.
Lead defense attorney Mark Geragos warned that prosecutors could introduce bogus evidence during the proceeding.
Geragos also argued that widespread publicity would harm Peterson's right to a fair trial and tip off the "actual perpetrators" in the case.
But extensive publicity does not legally justify closing the hearing, countered newspaper coalition attorney Charity Kenyon in a legal brief filed Thursday in Stanislaus County Superior Court. The Bee is a member of the coalition.
Under California law, a preliminary hearing can only be closed if a judge finds it is essential to preserve the defendant's right to a fair trial, and closing the hearing will be effective in preserving that right.
Even then, the hearing cannot be closed if there are other means available to ensure a fair trial.
In the Peterson case, those remedies could include moving the trial to another county, delaying the trial until media attention has subsided or sequestering the jury, Kenyon wrote.
Open courts are an integral part of the justice system and serve as an invaluable deterrent against "corrupt or overzealous prosecutor(s) and ... compliant biased or eccentric judge(s)," Kenyon noted, citing the 1986 U.S. Supreme Court case that set the bar for closing court proceedings.
"The value of openness lies in the fact that people not actually attending trials can have confidence that standards of fairness are being observed," Kenyon, wrote. "Public scrutiny is a primary safeguard of the defendant's rights."
Prosecutors have asked for the hearing to be open but to have cameras banned from the courtroom.
A hearing on the issues is scheduled for Aug. 14.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Ryanair places big order to buy 175 Boeing 737s, but at hefty bulk discount
DUBLIN - There's finally some good news for Boeing: European discount airline Ryanair announced Tuesday it will buy 175 of the company's popular 737 jets, the largest order ever placed by a European carrier.
Chicago-based Boeing Co. has struggled ever since its new 787 Dreamliner was grounded by regulators in January following problems with its electrical system. It also was dealt a major blow Monday in the race to win the single-aisle plane market when Indonesia's Lion Air signed a deal with rival Airbus for 234 A320s.
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said the deal will allow his airline to expand in markets such as Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland and Scandinavia. Neither side disclosed the purchase price for the 737-800s, but O'Leary said it did negotiate a bulk discount off the total list price of $15.6 billion. Ryanair received a 53 per cent discount on a prior 737 order. This time, O'Leary said he was paying "slightly higher" prices.
"I'm paying higher prices, I'm just not allowed to say so," O'Leary said, joking that Boeing executives got him drunk on St. Patrick's Day.
He said Ryanair will cease dividends and share buybacks for the next two to three years to help pay for the jets.
The deal was timed to coincide with Tuesday's visit by Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny to Washington, D.C., to meet President Barack Obama and senior American legislators for St. Patrick's Day-related events. Kenny plans to visit the Seattle area, the base for Boeing manufacturing, later this week.
Kenny, appearing alongside Obama, called the Boeing-Ryanair deal a contract "of extraordinary proportions" and a sign of Ryanair's stunning run of success.
Ryanair already operates a fleet of 305 Boeing 737-800 aircraft, each with 189 seats, one of the tightest configurations in the industry. It is Boeing's biggest European customer for the model, which launched in 1997 and faces global competition from the Airbus A320.
Boeing's primary 737 assembly line in Renton, Wash., faces a transition to building a newer model called the 737 MAX by 2017. Ryanair's order represents about a half-year of full-time work for the plant.
Ryanair has yet to sign on for the new MAX jet, but O'Leary said he has assembled a team to evaluate the new version of the 737.
"Today's order is a very much interim order and will hopefully be a forerunner to ordering the MAX later on," he said at a signing ceremony in New York.
Ray Conner, the head of Boeing's commercial airplanes division, said this deal fills most of his 737 assembly line capacity until MAX production begins.
Conner said the problems with the 787 had "no bearing on this (deal) at all."
Ryanair expects to get the first new planes at the end of 2014. O'Leary said about 75 of the new-order 737s would replace older airplanes, but the fleet would grow to 400 by 2019. He said Ryanair expected its passenger volume to grow around 20 per cent to 100 million passengers by 2019, by which time its workforce would expand from 8,500 to around 11,500.
O'Leary has spent years playing hardball with Boeing to secure the best possible price for his next bulk order.
The purchase contract for much of Ryanair's current Boeing fleet was agreed in the months following the 9-11 terrorist attacks, when airlines struggled to place new orders. Later Ryanair's regulatory filings in Dublin confirmed that it received a 53 per cent discount off Boeing's list prices. In 2009, O'Leary noisily withdrew from talks to purchase more 737s and hinted that Ryanair might turn to Airbus.
But both sides sang each other's praises Tuesday.
Conner said Boeing's "partnership with this great European low-cost carrier is of the utmost importance to everyone at The Boeing Company, and I could not be more proud to see it extended for years to come."
Ryanair is one of the world's wealthiest airlines, with more than $4 billion in cash available. Its business model offering Internet-only sales of low-fare tickets — accompanied by a panoply of extra charges for credit card payments, checked baggage, boarding cards and reserved seats — is increasingly copied by the industry.
Ryanair's specifications on its Boeings do away with standard touches, with no business-class seating and no tray tables on the backs of seats, permitting tighter spacing of passengers.
O'Leary said one key advantage of the 737 was the ability to fit 189 passengers on board, but he'd love to add 10 more seats — something that would require removing the two rear toilets, a move regulators would be unlikely to permit.
O'Leary repeated his headline-seeking proposal, originally made three years ago, to charge for use of the one remaining front toilet. He quipped that Ryanair would donate those profits to "prostate cancer and incontinence research."
Mayerowitz reported from New York.

I love the size of this store and the bright lighting, there is so much space and large cutting counters. It would be great if they had sales a bit more often. I also like the fact that they have such a nice selection of Kaffe fassett, amy Butler, and other large scale prings. I find the fabric choices quite cherry, but they also have a nice selection of other prints as well. and the book selections are great. cuz so... view moreLike this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
I have not visited Quiltique, but I've bought from them online. I purchased a pattern, but I later found out that it wasn't in stock. I received both an email and phone message letting me know the next day. There was some confusion about re-ordering it at the price I originally paid, but the owner resolved it right away. I received the pattern, and I am very pleased. I definitely recommend Quiltique.Like this review?Yes|Flag AbuseProvided by Citysearch
I am a sometime local in Vegas. I am so glad that I discovered Quiltique. I have taken classes and taken advantage of fun sales and great staff when I am in town. Everyone is helpful and friendly and more than happy to help out a visitor! The fabric selection is fun and varied. I have found fabric here that is not offered in my mid west shops. But i t is about the staff really... knowledgeable and friendly!!!!!!Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
I live in Lake Havasu City, AZ, and EVERY time I am in Las Vegas I HAVE to go to my favorite place -- Quiltique.

I read all the reviews and I will unfortunally have to agree (a little) with the person that wrote about some of the sales clerks do act a bit upide at times. However, there are so many more great people there than the few that may have had a bad day. Everyday they have some sort of class for you to take and there is great fellowship.

Quiltique is a wonderful place! In addition to fabric, I have purchased furniture and taken several classes. I had problem with the one of the Koala cabinets I bought and it was rectified in record time. The Tibesar family (the owners) and their staff provide wonderful service. This quilt shop is worth the trip from just about anywhere. mrscaptspeedLike this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
Quiltique is the best quilt store in the area. Their selection of fabrics, patterns, threads and accessories is fantastic. The lighting in the store is by far the best in the area. You can really see the colors of the fabrics. The folks that work there are top notch, always friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
Even though it's quite a drive from my home, I take the time to visit Quiltique whenever I'm in the area. I've developed rapport with the owners and staff over the years and I refer friends and quilters to the shop...especially for Oriental fabrics, batiks, new lines, well organized kits (with samples evident), Kay, the super Bernina lady, and great charitable projects.

sage already flowering
I have a huge bed of culinary sage that I started from seed three years ago. It has survived each winter and just finished turning fresh and green again, but it's already flowering. Every singe plant is developing a big flower head! I have never gotten flowers on it so early in the year. I am not sure if I should clip the flower heads or let them go to seed - or half and half. Any advice? I've been drying the leaves for tea, but I can't use that much (it's really spread).
All plants' goal is to guaranttee its gene. So when they get to a certai size, conditions they would flower to produce seeds.
A soil poor in nitogen and/or rich in phosphorus can encourage flowering. A lot of week plants deprived of nutrient will flower/seed sooner than those that have a good growing conditions.
My sages are flowering also, and the bees love the flowers! I just let nature take her course and harvest leaves, leaving the flowers for whoever wants to use them.
I envy your horticultural know-how--starting your sage from seed. I had to buy plants and propagate!
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking that the sage is blooming awfully early here in MA. My one common sage plant is growing like crazy and has put up several buds, which I'm sure will open sometime soon.
No sign of blooms yet on the Berggarten sage (I gather this cultivar rarely blooms), though it's doing quite well. At least I know that if I save the seeds, there won't be a cross.
As for my soil, I really don't think mine, at least, is nutrient-poor. I had to move every single plant around this Spring (a re-working of the raised bed), and every last one of them had a monstrous healthy root system, and they're all growing big and strong and healthy.
The month of April was the warmest on record here in MA. Usually, even in May we can get a few frosts in Z6. Right now, its quite cool outside, but not to a degree that would cause any sudden frosts. Like the old saying- if you don't like the weather, wait a minute. Because April had very warm days the trees and other plants have bloomed earlier than usual. Last year, I was covering my plum tree in mid May after it had bloomed from very warm days. On about the 25 of May we had a sudden frost and that damaged the blooms to cause none to mature into a fruit. In Mass, iron contenct can be very low as can nitrogen. I found this to be true after having a concise soil test done, not just for NPK but for minerals and minors, as well as micronutrients. A fw years ago, places like HOme Depot and others lost many garden plants that were affected by killing frosts. I too lost well over 2/3 of my 200+ tomato plants, so now I only plant outside the last day of May.
Wow - Sage blooming already. I don't expect mine to bloom for weeks yet. The weather has been interesting - tonight we have frost warnings again and later in the week we are forcasted to have mid-80 degree weather.
Sage is one of my FAVORITE plants. It's been planted in nearly everyone of my gardens in our current place and the previous one. One thing I look forward to is the "bumblebee blue" flowers each year. I call it bumblebee blue because the flowers are of the bumblebee's favorite color. Watch them. See what flowers they prefer and it is always the blue-violet colored ones. I like to watch bumbles as much as butterflies and that is a sage-bonus!
The flowers don't effect taste or strength of the plant. And if you are lucky, dropped seed will propagate some new sage plants...as mine do when they are in a happy location.
I never plant out my tomatoes, peppers, etc. until the first week of June. I have these in the house now under lights. May weather is too unpredictable around here. I did plant out seeds for kale, spinach, chard, beets, carrots, and radishes on Mother's Day weekend, but they can take a little cold.
This weekend, my plants will all get moved to my small glass greenhouse outside. Its used to harden off all my plants a week to 10 days prior to planting in the garden. Today, temps only in the low 50's, hardly growing weather outside.
I have a small Harbor Freight greenhouse but we just set it up last fall. I wondered about using it to harden off plants but in nice weather it gets too hot in there even with the door and roof vent open and two panels removed for cross ventilation. I need a solar fan for it.
I'm glad I ran across this. I planted sage in a pot last summer (starting from a plant) and managed to baby it through our hot summer. I cut it way back in the fall and just shoved the pot against the wall of the house, where is was mostly out of the snow and rain and it came back this year! Right now it's really nice and bushy and every single stem has a big flower bud. I really didn't want to pinch it back. So I shall let it flower and enjoy.
Sounds like a great year for sage. I just took cuttings to replace those of mine which died and now I need to give back some of those cuttings to my good neighbor; we each try to share what we can so we both can enjoy more plants and fruits and veggies.
In my experience if I leave the flowers on, they multiply on each stem to the point where the whole stem is flowering down to the soil. However this happens to the detriment of the leaves. In the end only dry stems remain without leaves and the plant never recover. It is as though the plant, having flowered and dropped hundreds of seeds decided there is no reason to survive since new plants will germinate from those seeds.
So now I kill all the flowers (a pain) but the plants are gigantic with luscious 4-inch leaves.
Is it only my experience or a normal process?
My sage has been flowering for weeks now. The leaves seem to be taking a back seat to the flower production. I harvest the leaves for tea And I don't mind a few flowers but it seems like not many new leaves are growing and the ones that were nice are turning yellow. I tried pinching off the buds but there were too many. I am contemplating cutting the plants back pretty hard to encourage leaf growth instead of flowers. Does this seem like a good or bad idea?

Dwight GarnerIn this rollicking if lightweight group biography, Mr. Lattin does a lovely, gently humorous job of setting this scene and bringing these men together…This slim book has more than its share of faults… I'd be lying, though, if I said I didn't enjoy just about every page of The Harvard Psychedelic Club. This groovy story unfurls—chronicling the lives of men who were brilliant but damaged, soulful but vengeful, zonked-out but optimistic and wry—like a ready-made treatment for a sprawling, elegiac and crisply comic movie, let's say Robert Altman by way of Wes Anderson.

Delicious and cheapest price I can find!

Posted by Reviewer2498510 on Jan 28, 2013
Response to previous review: Yes, over $3 for an 80g bar of chocolate can seem expensive to those that eat cheap chocolate, but this is quality organic and fair trade chocolate... totally worth it! This is a delicious chocolate bar that you need to buy at least 5 at a time in case your family gobbles it all at once! ;) It has a beautiful flavour, but beware it is also very moreish... mmm. It is an excellent price, too, considering I was paying close to $5 for the exact same bar from local retailers... food is just much more expensive in Australia. :(

It happens all the time. When building a new online business, many entrepreneurs become scattered and distracted in both strategy and execution, trying to move in too many directions at the same time. This lack of focus ends up causing a lack of real movement for the business in any one particular direction, and can ultimately lead to failure.
In this post you'll learn exactly why focus is so important, three critical elements of your business that you absolutely must have focus in, as well as how to achieve it.

Lady Gaga
We know Ms. Gaga will always
dress in a frightful way, but this look is plain bizarre. It may not be a meat
dress, but this freaky fairytale look still lands her on our Style Fear Fest
Carly Rae Jepsen
Oh, no, a tropical short
suit! This look is definitely not as big a hit as "Call Me Maybe."
Jennifer Lawrence
Why, Jennifer?! You're stunning
and amazingly talented, but this dress is far too neon and far too high-slit on
the thigh for us to give you the thumbs up.
Kristen Stewart
And we're back with another
short suit. Kristen was going for a menswear-inspired look, but it's just all
wrong for a movie premiere.
Gwen Stefani
While the skirt is kinda
cool, we're utterly confused as to why Gwen thought she should pair it with a
see through tank and (cringe) black bra. Yikes!
Katy Perry
While the dress is OK, the
headpiece is downright gnarly. It almost looks as if someone TP'ed her head!
Demi Lovato
We adore Demi, we really do,
but this dress was just a wee bit too much for us. We admire that she's going
for something different, but the feathers are so out of place and the colors a
bit hard to look at.
Miley Cyrus
We almost didn't recognize
Miles, we were so used to the punk haircut! But, um, Miley…? Where oh where

It's Marlene's Fault
I've been gone a few weeks looking for some cooler high country, foot peg dragging curves, and tall trees. While I was gone Marlene posted that big dragonfly which really raised the bar for welded critters. I guess my poor little guys were so intimidated that they slunk off to a different cyberspace dimension.
My Photobucket account has disappeared and all my posts on this site now show blank little grey boxes where the critters were.
I contacted Photobucket and they responded but I'm not holding out much hope that things will return to the way they were here.
I did get notice couple of days ago that Photobucket was "new & improving" it(hate that, then I have to learn how all over ) guess I should check & see if I still have an account but not much in it. Sorry all your critters scurried away, you will have to make some more, lots more!!! Jan
OOOoohhhh! I am SO sorry to hear about your photobucket account....guess I need to see if mine survived! Now, come on Tinfoil....you know your critters were just dancing a happy dance and daring you to get those creative juices flowing.....can't wait to see your next creation! DH always looks forward to what you've been up to....we figured you had abandoned us for the high country. Hope you found that cooler weather....there sure hasn't been any in Virginia...in fact it's been like a steam bath here for weeks. Glad you're back...hope you find your photos!
Good news: My Photobucket account is back and all my dead little gray boxes have pictures in them again.
Bad news: All my picture titles and descriptions in my account are gone. The stats, followers, community, etc. are gone also.
I guess I should count my blessings and be happy I haven't left a bunch of dead links all over the forum and internet.

Henri Abraham Chatelain was a cartographer and publisher of the famous Atlas Historique, ou Nouvelle Introduction a l'Histoire, a world atlas released between 1705 and 1732 in Amsterdam. A few years ago, at an antique book shop in London, I bought a page from Chatelain's atlasa page covering the Near East, India, the Indian Oceanthat had a particularly alluring, oblique handlettering style. The text is in French, which gave me plenty of samples of diacritics and accented characters. The overall effect is neat and legible, with a distinctly historical flair. Antiquarian Scribe is a full-featured font* that works well with Antiquarian. US$39. | Order
*The OpenType release of Antiquarian Scribe adds true small caps, numerous ligatures, Central/Eastern European and Greek alphabets, and several distinctive cartographic ornaments.

The obvious transitional solution, to me at least:
- create a "new" currency: the Scottish pound
- give it a fixed exchange rate at 1:1 parity (currency board - unlimited frictionless electronic transactions between the two at parity) with the England & Wales pound; guarantee this fixed exchange rate for a transitional period (e.g. 10 years)
- require that new debts & loans in Scotland be denominated in Scottish pounds
That would allow for a long, slow and minimally disruptive transition. It would also reserve the choice, long term, over whether it's best to join the euro, maintain a fix to the England & Wales pound or float. The factors affecting that decisions depend on financial market developments (e.g. "banking union", new regulation, interest rate developments) and trade developments (today excluding oil, £45.5 billion of Scottish goods & services exports still go to the rest of the UK while £10.1 billion go the the rest of Europe).
Whether a currency board would be stable in the short term depends on a few factors too. Scotland has a higher domestic savings rate, has a lower fiscal deficit (as share of GDP) than the rest of the UK, has a large trade surplus, and is likely to benefit economically from independence (e.g. government will stop refusing visas for high-paying international students coming to Scotland; we can slash APD for more tourism & business; we can liberalize work visas for Americans, Japanese, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders & Koreans (for far more business investment); we can cut corporate tax rates below UK levels, etc).
'- give it a fixed exchange rate at 1:1 parity (currency board - unlimited frictionless electronic transactions between the two at parity)'
The only way to do this without use of currency reserves (that Scotland does not have) is with huge support from Britain. Why would Britain do this? Scotland has been told repeatedly that independence is complete and permanent. I can guarantee that England would not tolerate any Scottish support or bailout post independence - it would bring the government down.
'- require that new debts & loans in Scotland be denominated in Scottish pounds'
This would completely kill money market liquidity.
James; yes, Scotland does and would have currency reserves.
Namely, every pound sterling currently circulating in Scotland is backed by reserves deposited with the Bank of England.
When launching the Scottish pound, each pound would be issued in exchange for a pound sterling (deposits with the BoE). So from the outset, a Scottish currency board would have enough sterling to swap one for one.
Longer term, monetary conditions in Scotland have to remain tight enough (given underlying trade patterns) to maintain reserves. Fine. Under current trade patterns, those reserves would be growing.
"This would completely kill money market liquidity."
like it kills market liquidity in Denmark?
'When launching the Scottish pound, each pound would be issued in exchange for a pound sterling (deposits with the BoE).'
What possible reason would BoE give a pound for 1 of a new Scottish currency for? Why would it be so munificent? The whole idea relies on support from BoE.
"The only way to do this without use of currency reserves"
Is exactly what I was thinking. Other countries have done this (Argentina, Switzerland) to maintain some kind of balance with another currency outside their control, which involves either printing more of their own currency (Switzerland, trying to swat away a flood of euros pouring in), which is easy and unlimited, or using currency reserves (Argentina fighting the falling peso) to boost your own currency's value.
Unless Scotland magically started with some reserves, and maybe the North Sea would give that to them (hell if i know), then they could only drive the 'scottish pound' in one direction should it waiver from the 1:1 parity (which it naturally will).
The BoE would have nothing to do with it in an active sense.
Rather, every pound sterling presently circulating in Scotland is actually a pound sterling - backed by deposits at the Bank of England.
When introduced, each Scottish pound would be created in exchange for a pound sterling (by households and businesses in Scotland). That would give any new Scottish monetary authority an initial reserve of pound sterling, with a pound sterling for every Scottish pound ever issued.
Scotland already has a currency reserve adequate for defending a new currency at parity to the pound sterling.
You are right to remark that that can change over time, and careful attention must be paid to maintain adequate reserves - with sufficiently tight monetary policy in Scotland. In practice, that's fine - under prevailing monetary conditions, Scottish reserve holdings of sterling would actually be growing (fast) right now.
Yep, Scotland starts with massive reserves. And Scotland isn't Argentina (extreme red, warmongering, throwing up trade restrictions, double digit pay rises in the civil service or cozying up to Iran).
Every Scottish pound would be newly issued in exchange for a pound sterling. That gives an initial reserve of pound sterling equal to all the Scottish pounds in circulation - a Scottish monetary authority could pay out a pound sterling (instantly) for every Scottish pound anybody wants to sell.
Over time, under prevailing monetary conditions, Scotland's reserve would be growing (thanks to a current account surplus). Longer term, if the parity guarantee is to be maintained, careful attention would have to be paid to ensuring adequately tight monetary policy in Scotland (so that reserves aren't being lost; so that there isn't too much money creation in Scotland for reserves to back).
All perfectly workable. Parity (especially if the currency board directly supports instant online exchanges at zero transaction cost) could easily provide for high liquidity and no market disruption.
Yet it achieves a high level of independence. Only monetary policy would be tightly affected by BoE monetary policy. There would be no need to pay heed to Whitehall dictats (e.g. barriers to favorable tax rates). And long term, there would be full freedom to float or join the euro if either alternative ever did seem more attractive.
Sterling held by BoE to back Scottish pounds is NOT a currency reserve.
'When introduced, each Scottish pound would be created in exchange for a pound sterling (by households and businesses in Scotland).'
Why would business in Scotland generate pounds Sterling? New value would be in Scottish pounds, and if the the market value of the scottish pound drops, then new currency would be needed to maintain parity. The assumption of constant economic balance or (yet again) magic oil revenue, is ridiculous.
The market (which would need to fund Scotland's deficit) would have no interest in something so flawed.
This will not work, which is why no one if floating the idea. The attitude on the financial markets to Scottish independence is to treat it as a joke.
Stop spewing and start thinking.
Today, the money supply in Scotland is X pounds sterling.
Imagine that a Scottish pound is launched after independence. Then consumers/ households will be required to pay tax in Scottish pounds, take any new loans in Scottish pounds, etc. Likewise with businesses.
So, households and consumers will exchange some subset Y of prior money supply for Scottish pounds, in order to meet transaction demand. So the Scottish monetary authority will issue Y Scottish pounds, and exchange them for Y pounds sterling (which it keeps in reserve). Scotland then will have a money supply of Y Scottish pounds and (X-Y) pounds sterling (both circulating somewhat).
However many Scottish pounds a third party wants to sell off, there are always sterling reserves. There's no BoE involvement here.
Over time, it's possible to deviate from this. For instance, new Scottish pounds would be created when a bank issues new Scottish pound denominated loans in Scotland, or creates securities in Scotland. But so long as monetary policy is tight enough, such lending activity would not create new money faster than reserves are being accumulated.
The idea is not flawed - the only reason it hasn't been floated is because "staying with the pound sterling" is less controversial, and less likely to scare risk-averse voters from voting for independence. Still, launching a Scottish pound would be preferable and entirely feasible.
There's nothing "magical" about oil & gas. It's a big industry, and it could become much bigger with more favorable tax treatment of marginal fields. The Scottish economy, just as with Ireland or Denmark, has the potential to be rich and successful even without oil, if it is better governed. Top priorities there being visa reform, elimination of APD, cutting corporation tax rates, VAT reform (no reduced rates), pension reform, slashing military spending to 0.5% of GDP, increasing R&D investment, interconnector to Iceland, etc (any subset thereof is an improvement on the status quo).
"Scotland then will have a money supply of Y Scottish pounds and (X-Y) pounds sterling (both circulating somewhat)."
It will also have a debt of Z pounds (that being whatever the total of all public/private sterling loans outstanding at the time, this represents a quantity of pounds that will have to be found at some point, both for debt service and repayment.
I'm no expert on the niceties of setting up a new currency, but it seems to me that in practice, the efficacy of having reserves of (X-Y) pounds sterling must be impacted by the size of Z.
Hi Shaun
The 'Scottish' pounds currently circulating in Scotland are backed by deposits (on a 1:1 basis) of GBP held at the Bank of England.
But are these not private deposits owned by the bank that prints the note (i.e. the money backing a Clydesdale £10 note belongs to the Clydesdale bank (which makes it the property of National Bank of Australia I think?))?
I am not sure whether those really count as 'currency reserves' - because the Scottish Government would not be able to control them - in effect monetary policy would be carried out by the private banks (RBS, HBOS and Clydesdale) that own the deposits?
The physical Scottish notes are backed by Sterling deposits held by BOE, so they can all effectively be exchanged for "English currency" with ease.
The majority is held as Sterling deposits in commercial backs and BOE etc. Scotland also owns circa 10% of BOE and UK Treasury assets.
The closest setups are the HK Dollar, Danish Krone and the former Belgian - Luxembourg currency union.

I fear this article is but howling at the moon. The business world is dominated by philistines who do not value their time much beyond the opportunity it affords to outmanoeuvre their fellow primates toward some tangible measure of success. The race to the bottom will continue. Save yourselves.
I loved reading this article, perhaps because I did so on my flight back home, after a lovely break. I believe we may take our business life a bit too serious and live to work, rather than work to live. I know, I am guilty of this awful sin. Taking healthy breaks - or mental sanity days - is a source of inspiration and indeed all companies should institutionalize such things
Wasn't in the 'One Minute Manager' where the ideal leader was characterised as one who spent a lot of time looking out of the window? I also like the advice given in 'The Dilbert Principle' by Scot Adams:- Avoid meetings with time-wasting morons.
Nice article, but the Reagan quote was from a Gridiron dinner, which makes the use of it here ignorant at best.
During my working career, I owed to Pareto, Covey and Drucker the two principles that help me stay focused without getting bogged down in the trivial.
1. Focus on the vital few tasks vs the trivial many. ( Dept priorities vs section priorities)
2. Focus on effectiveness vs efficiency. (ie phone conversations, or face to face discussions vs writing emails.)
At the end of the day, I used go home lot more relaxed than my peers.
Interesting in light of Larry Page's recent decision to eliminate "20% time"--one of Google's most innovative and most-emulated policies. Higher effort makes sense in the short term; higher thought makes more sense in the long term. We never seem to be very good at the long term.
Thinking time should be institutionalized by companies. Emails is a time bandit as well as excessive number of meetings
People who are lazy are constantly looking for shortcuts. These shortcuts save time and thus money. Of course, there is Adam Smith's classic story of the guy who rigged up a string to a release valve while he monitored the pressure gauge so he didn't have to go back and forth all the time. Humans don't like to be robots.
I would prefer not to.
I think when a person doesn't know what he is doing, or not sure, it is easy to fall into the trap of needing to show he does. The best way to show is look busy. Then an onlooker will say, "Aha! He is so busy he must know what he is doing." And the person too, will become convinced he knows what he is doing.
I am surprised to learn Jack Welch only spent an hour a day in what he called "looking out of the window time", and when he was in charge of Microsoft Bill Gates took only two "think weeks" a year. Those "lazy times" seem disproportionate to their amount of creative output.
Schumpeter is right.
First thing tomorrow, I'm going to cancel a meeting some hopeless workaholic has scheduled for a Saturday morning at 11h15 (and I had meekily accepted).
Most Americans are too busy working to make significant money. The most productive thing I ever did was quit my job, and read books on economics and finance, one after the other after the other.
And, talked to friends and acquaintances in business regarding how they thought, approached business opportunities, etc.
Once I started investing, I often competed against others who were too busy, and exhausted, at their day jobs to invest as well as they probably would have otherwise.
I was going to comment on this, but then I thought ...
And I was going to respond, but then I thought... :)
Problem is, most people are utterly useless when it comes to measuring output and value-add. So instead, the average manager uses activity as a proxy for value-creation even though it's a terrible proxy and produces misleading impressions all the time. But, it's easy. So as always the easy displaces the ought-to-do. Employees are presumed to be 25/7 available and promotions are generally based on rewarding those who are always visibly "on the job" even though they are most often quite hopeless time managers who can't ever get things done adequately. This is unlikely to change - as a species there was never any selection pressure for being able to assess and measure value-add. Hunter-gatherer societies are simple things and transparent in a way the modern economy is never going to be. So we're doomed to remain on the treadmill, desperately trying to create the illusion of productivity even while doing precisely the wrong things to achieve it.
And with the American penchant for hyperbole, "25/7" is sure to catch on - my only contribution to management guru nonsense this year (I've been too busy to write anything else, being stuck in meetings, checking emails, and handling conference calls in the meantime).
As anyone who stops to think about it will realize, sloth is mankind's most under-rated virtue. And it is a virtue. It is, after all, responsible for almost all human progress.
Who invented the wheel? Some guy who was too lazy to pick up his kill and carry it home.
Who domesticated animals? Guys who didn't want to go out hunting at all.
Who invented agriculture? Someone who was tired of walking all over the countryside in search of vegetables, and wanted them to grow conveniently close to home.
Right up to Who invented computer systems? Folks who were too lazy to do all those computations manually.
Lazyness. We really ought to celebrate it!
Who invented adultery? Someone too lazy to romance his wife... :)
But from what I have seen (second or third hand), adultery takes more work than romancing one's wife. I think actually I would go with monogamy being invented by someone too lazy to try to keep multiple women happy. ;-)
I know you are just being cheaky
Wheel is invented not because of lazing but the desire to carry more and faster
Animals are domesticated because there are only that many wild animals within a location, once they are depleted, they don't magically respawn like in a game
Wild produce again will face depletion, and they too don't magically respawn like in a game
When people first invented computers, they can do the computations faster than the computers
This prescription works in medicine too, encompassed by the phrase "do as much of nothing as possible". Most maladies right themselves with the application of time and common sense, while over-treatment tends to invite complications.
I can't say I hear much of AIDS righting itself.
I think the concept is do as little as needed and no more. The challenge is knowing how "little" is "little", what is needed, and, having figured those two out, knowing when to stop but not a day too soon.
As quoted from above: "MOST maladies right themselves..."
Don't oversimplify.
Polio? Small pox? Cancer? Heart disease?
That's been an IT mantra since forever. It's the first of the programmer's three virtues: Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris.
No... that's been an IT mantra since Larry Wall said it, probably on Usenet, back in the 1980's (or possibly very early 90's) in justification for having spent rather a lot of time and energy writing a new computer language to make his IT job simpler. It only *seems* like forever! :-)
