The feedback loop between banking crises and sovereign debt crises has been at the heart of recent problems in the Eurozone. This column presents stylised facts on the mechanisms through which banking and sovereign crises combine and become 'twin' crises. The results point to systematic differences not only between 'single' and 'twin' crises, but also between different types of 'twin' episodes. The timing of 'twin' crises – which crisis comes first – is important for understanding their drivers, transmission channels, and economic consequences.

Stijn Claessens, Friday, April 18, 2014
Stijn Claessens talks to Viv Davies about the recent IMF book titled 'Global Crises: Causes, Consequences and Policy Responses', co-edited with M Ayhan Kose, Luc Laeven, and Fabian Valencia. The book provides a comprehensive overview of current research into financial crises and the policy lessons learned. They discuss crisis prevention and management, and the crisis in the Eurozone. The interview was recorded in April 2014.
Thorsten Beck, Christoph Trebesch, Monday, November 18, 2013
Many Eurozone banks are still in a fragile state following the Global Crisis. This vulnerability will be highlighted as the ECB takes charge of bank supervision, and the EZ moves towards a banking union. This column proposes a Eurozone bank restructuring agency as a way to speed up the crisis resolution. This temporary, centralised agency would be in charge of restructuring viable and non-viable banks throughout the Eurozone. Solving the problem of legacy assets is a necessary step towards a banking union.
Luca Papi, Andrea F Presbitero, Alberto Zazzaro, Monday, February 25, 2013
The IMF's role in past systemic banking crises has been hotly debated. Indeed, prominent intellectuals have criticised the Fund for creating or exacerbating crises. This column discusses new evidence showing that IMF lending programmes are in fact associated with a lower probability of banking crises occurring in future.
Xavier Freixas, Saturday, September 1, 2012
Before 2007, the widely accepted view was that systemic banks had to be bailed out no matter what. This column argues that views are changing – and for the better.
Evangelos Benos, Rod Garratt, Peter Zimmerman, Tuesday, August 7, 2012
How does a major credit event such as the failure of Lehman Brothers on 15 September 2008 influence the way banks send and receive payments to and from one another? And what are the associated risks and costs?
Luc Laeven, Fabian Valencia, Monday, July 9, 2012
Do advanced economies have an edge in resolving financial crises? This column shows that the record thus far supports the opposite view, with the average crisis lasting about twice as long as in developing and emerging market economies. It argues that macroeconomic stabilisation policies in advanced countries often delay the necessary financial restructuring.
Carmen M Reinhart, Friday, April 9, 2010
Carmen Reinhart of the University of Maryland talks to Romesh Vaitilingam about the sequencing of the cycle of debt build-ups – from private debt surges to banking crises to sovereign debt crises – and the four 'deadly D's' that once again threaten many governments as a consequence of the current crisis – deficits, debt, downgrade and default. The interview was recorded at the Royal Economic Society's annual conference at the University of Surrey in March 2010.
Richard Baldwin, Wednesday, November 4, 2009
Policymakers and macroeconomists often remind us that banking crises are nothing new. This column, based on recent papers by Columbia professor Charles Calomiris, looks at the long-term record of banking crises and draws lessons for today.
Luis I. Jácome H., Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Latin American central banks seem to have weathered the global crisis quite well. This column describes their policy responses and says they succeeded in lowering inflation, averting banking crises, and shortening the recession. It attributes their success to past reforms that created strong institutional foundations and effective policy frameworks.
Harald Uhlig, Thursday, October 15, 2009
The recent crisis was like a bank run, but it didn't quite fit. This column describes six features that a model of the recent crisis ought to capture and describes a new theory with which we might analyse the crisis and policy responses.
Leonardo Iacovone, Veronika Zavacka, Tuesday, September 1, 2009
Both financial turmoil and falling demand have hit exporters hard. This column confirms the importance of financing problems by showing that sectors relatively more dependent on external finance suffer larger export drops during banking crises.
Carmen M Reinhart, Monday, January 26, 2009
Financial crises are historically associated with the "4 deadly D's": Sharp economic downturns follow banking crises; with government revenues dragged down, fiscal deficits worsen; deficits lead to debt; as debt piles up rating downgrades follow. For the most fortunate countries, the crisis does not lead to the deadliest D: default, but for many it has.
Luis I. Jácome H., Saturday, January 3, 2009
As the global economic crisis goes south, developing countries' central banks must cope with financial turmoil. Recent experience in Latin America, this column argues, cautions against pouring money into the financial system. Countries that relied on prompt corrective actions managed crises well, while those relying on central bank money suffered greater instability.
Carmen M Reinhart, Saturday, March 15, 2008
We may just have started to feel the pain. Asset price drops – including housing – are common markers in all the big banking crises over the past 30 years. GDP declines after such crises were both large (-2% on average) and protracted (2 years to return to trend); in the 5 biggest crises, the numbers were -5% and 3 years. This column, based on the author's testimony to the Congress, picks through the causes and consequences. It argues that when it comes to 'cures,' it would be far better to get the job done right than get the job done quickly.

Thursday afternoon job opportunity
Feb 25, 2010, 2:39 PM EDT
Ever dreamed of being a ballboy or ballgirl for a major league club? No? Oh. Um, well, you can, if you want. From the Baltimore Sun's Peter Schmuck:
The Orioles just announced this year's
ballboy and ballgirl tryouts. The club will hold interviews on
March 6 at noon at the Warehouse for anyone 18 or older who wants to
spend the summer in an Orioles jersey, but making substantially less
than the $400,000 major league minimum salary.
One has to wonder what takes place in these ballboy and ballgirl "interviews." Can you field a grounder? Able to identify the youngest kid in the first five rows? And can you toss that kid the ball? Good, now steer clear of balls in play. There are worse ways to spend a summer.
- YX - Feb 25, 2010 at 3:02 PM
TBH, I think that is a really crappy job.
It's not like that you can just relax and watch the game. You have to keep constant attention on if ball is coming your way; figure out if the ball is in play or not and don't want make a fool out of yourself (or cost your team a game) in front 30k people + millions more on TV. Plus put up with angry and / or drunk people scream in your ear.
Not to mention it would be torture if I couldn't have a cold one at ball games.
- Church of the Perpetually Outraged - Feb 25, 2010 at 3:13 PM

In the Linux community we love predicting that "this is the year of Linux in cars, or in gaming, or yes, even the desktop."
But in fact, this was the year of Linux in everything. From smartphones, tablets, consumer appliances and cars, to the open cloud and high-performance computers, to gaming platforms and more, Linux was, and is, literally everywhere. It's the software that is running our lives.
The numbers are staggering. Gartner predicts that the Internet of Everything or the Internet of Things -- autonomous communication between a wide range of everyday devices, objects and applications – will add $1.9 trillion to the global economy by 2020. McKinsey Global Institute pegs the potential economic impact at $2.7 trillion to $6.2 trillion by 2025. ABI Research says the number of wirelessly connected devices on the market, now 10 billion, will triple by the end of the decade.
Could anything stand in the way of such a juggernaut?
Sales of automotive Linux are expected to rise to 53.7 million units in 2020, overtaking Microsoft and Blackberry QNX in the global automotive infotainment market, according to a new report from IHS Automotive.
Today we're pleased to announce that The Linux Foundation will host the Open Virtualization Alliance (OVA), the organization dedicated to education and advocacy for KVM. KVM is growing in popularity among businesses and open source communities like OpenStack with a 50 percent increase in deployments this year, according to IDC. We will work with OVA to extend education and advocacy that supports and helps advance the important work of this developer community.
The Nobel Prize for physics was announced today, which went to François Englert and Peter Higgs for the Higgs boson discovery of the subatomic particle that helps define the fabric of the universe, known to many as "the God particle." This was a highly-anticipated announcement by the science and technology community and is one to be celebrated.
Linux is a thoroughbred in the world of computing and as sure a thing as you can get. With a community of tens of thousands of developers from more than 200 companies supporting the Linux operating system, it is constantly being updated with changes that are shared across a wide variety of industries and with users in diverse environments.
IBM knows from experience that Linux can fuel innovation and accelerate technologies and today at LinuxCon is announcing it will invests $1B in Linux and new open source technologies for its Power Systems servers.
One of the greatest impacts Linux is having on the technology industry is in the way it's built. We often tout Linux's success stories - from running Facebook, Amazon and Google to powering eight out of 10 financial trades to running the world's supercomputers and mobile devices, and more.
Entrepreneur and inventor Elon Musk this week shocked and awed us with an innovative design for what transportation could look like in the not too distant future. He proposes a solar-powered, aluminum pod that moves with pressurized air through a tube at about 800 miles per hour.
Last week I had the pleasure to appear on Bloomberg West in an interview with Cory Johnson. It's refreshing to see mainstream broadcast media embrace and understand the Linux story so well. Cory knew what he was talking about.

South Korea Sunken Ship, Survivability And Recovery
Story By: Larry Stine
Originally Published on: 4/22/2014
Nearly 200 people are still missing after a ferry sank off the coast of South Korea. The day that happened, 174 people were rescued. There has not been a single rescue since. The question now becomes, could anyone have survived nearly a week inside the sunken ship. As crews recovered more bodies, the death toll rose steadily, Tuesday morning, to more than 100, a grim milestone for divers, for whom the search has been incredibly difficult. "Not only is if dark, but there's a lot of sediment and stuff getting moved around," says Alan Kipping-Ruane, a former U.S. Navy Rescue Swimmer. "It's almost like a sand cloud where you can't see your hand right in front of your face." "The conditions are so bad, my heart aches," says Bard Yoon, a rescue diver. "We're going in thinking there may be survivors. When we have to come back with nothing, we can't even face the families." More than six days after the ferry started to sink off the coast of South Korea, divers face the possibility that, even with potential air pockets, there may not be anyone left alive. "I sort of thought it was right around the three to four day mark, and once you get past that, probably not," says Cade Courtley, a former Navy Seal. "It's a function how big the compartment was and how much air is in it," says Admiral Than Allen, former commandant, U.S. Coast Guard (retired). "Sooner or later, you'll run out of air." But rescuers refuse to give up hope. "I believe there is a possibility there's still people down there," says Kipping-Ruane. "I was a rescue swimmer in the navy and we fight to try and make sure that person's alive, even if we're told the likely chance isn't." Seven crew members have been arrested in connection with the boat sinking. The ferry captain faces several charges. The company operating the ferry posted an apology on its web site. It reads, in part: "We prostrate ourselves before the victims' families and beg for your forgiveness. We pray with all our hearts that there will be survivors. We beg for forgiveness from the victims' families and pray for the dead."

Goalie has always been the goal for IceMen's Pelletier
Evansville hosts Fort Wayne in CHL game on Thursday night
As the youngest and smallest from a large extended family, Pier-Olivier Pelletier was frequently the last one picked whenever his cousins got together to play hockey.
"They'd say, 'OK, you want to play hockey with us, go in the net,'" said Pelletier, the Evansville IceMen's top goaltender. "I loved putting on the gear anyway."
When he began playing youth hockey, it was pretty much the same story. "When the coaches would ask who wants to try to play in goal, I'd be the first one there."
Thus, it wouldn't be a stretch to suggest Pelletier already had a pretty good idea at the age of 6 what he wanted to do when he grew up.
Pelletier finally got the chance to live his dream when he was the 2005 second-round draft pick of the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes.
Now in his fourth full season as a professional player after taking time off for college, the 24-year-old Pelletier is a major reason the IceMen have opened the Central Hockey League season on a fast track to the playoffs. Their lone setback in seven games came in a shootout loss to the Fort Wayne Komets.
Tonight at 7:15 at the Ford Center, Evansville (6-0-1) and Fort Wayne (4-4-0) will clash once again with the IceMen seeking their third win in four meetings. Then on Friday night the top two teams in the CHL's Turner Conference will meet when the first-place Missouri Mavericks (7-2-1) visit the Ford Center.
"It will be a good test for us against Missouri," Pelletier said. "I'm excited to see how we're going to do against those guys."
With Pelletier having started five games, posting an outstanding goals against average of 1.58 with a .949 saves percentage, the IceMen have the league's statistical leader in goal.
The only goalie with better statistics is Pelletier's backup, Bryan Gillis, who has a 1.45 goals against average and a .953 saves percentage in two starts but hasn't played enough minutes to rank among the CHL leaders.
"They've both made the saves they've had to make," said Kromm.
Pelletier is quick to share the credit for his success with all of his teammates.
"Everybody commits to defense, that's the thing about this team," said Pelletier. "Everybody takes care of their zones ... Everybody is paying the price. Our defense blocks a lot of shots."
With his size, Pelletier has no problem cleaning up the shots that do get through to keep the puck out of the 6x4 foot goal.
"He's a big guy and has quick legs," said Kromm. "He gets his pads out there and he anticipates the play really well."
Added defenseman Matt Gens: "He's always talking. He's always in the right position. It's great knowing he's back there."
That confidence even flows to the offensive end, according to forward Brian Bicek. It's a luxury the IceMen didn't have last year when they ended up on the wrong end of most of the games decided by one goal.
"That's been the No. 1 difference-maker, really," said Bicek, the CHL's player of the week. "A goalie that will stop the ones he has to and make a couple of big saves here and there keeps the momentum in our favor."
Because the IceMen have only faced three CHL teams so far, Pelletier knows it's too early to revise his statistical goals.
"I just want to give the team a chance to win every night," he said. "If the goals against (average) goes higher, it goes higher — as long as we win."

To mark the event at a New Hampshire farm, the couple served up chicken and bean chili to the assembled crowd.
"It was the law of the jungle, especially for the big guys," bean says of 1990s Russia .
This has occurred with bean bag chairs, children's sweaters, and the Coco The Monkey Teething Toy.
Old English bean "bean, pea, legume," from Proto-Germanic *bauno (cf. Old Norse baun, Middle Dutch bone, Dutch boon, Old High German bona, German Bohne), perhaps from a PIE reduplicated base *bha-bha- and related to Latin faba "bean."
As a metaphor for "something of small value" it is attested from c.1300. Meaning "head" is U.S. baseball slang c.1905 (in bean-ball "a pitch thrown at the head"); thus slang verb bean meaning "to hit on the head," attested from 1910.
The notion of lucky or magic beans in English folklore is from the exotic beans or large seeds that wash up occasionally in Cornwall and western Scotland, carried from the Caribbean or South America by the Gulf Stream. They were cherished, believed to ward off the evil eye and aid in childbirth.
Slang bean-counter "accountant" recorded by 1971. To not know beans (American English, 1933) is perhaps from the "of little worth" sense, but may have a connection to colloquial expression recorded around Somerset, to know how many beans make five "be a clever fellow."
noun phrase
Something regarded as the most important element: the be-all and end-all of series finales
[1605; fr Shakespeare's Macbeth, ''That but this blow Might be the be all, and the end all.'']

Prediction: coming
2005 Record: 1-10
2005 predicted wins
give Owl fans hope that the program can potentially be a player, look to
Northwestern, a great academic institution that has the same issues as
Rice. The Wildcats have not only thrived with a version of the spread,
they've been successful in the Big Ten. However, they need everything to
break the right way to come up with winning seasons, and Rice will
eventually need the same sort of luck.
For this year, it's all about just getting from phase one to phase two
and getting the team in line with what the coaching staff wants to do. The
previous regime made a passing nod to throwing it more when it tried to
implement a bit of a spread offense in an effort to save a sinking ship,
but Rice still finished dead last in the nation in passing. Graham has
to make the square pegs fit into the round holes and hope for
quarterback Chase Clement to use the next three years to grow into the
type of all-around playmaker needed to run the spread. Running backs and
former quarterbacks have been turned into receivers to fill the
positions, but the spread is about running the ball, as well.
Fortunately, Quinton Smith is one of the league's most explosive backs.
The defense has experience, but not a whole bunch of talent. Getting
into the backfield will be job one after struggling to generate sacks
and tackles for loss despite having the talents of all-star John Syptak
up front. He's gone, and now the defense has to use its speed and
quickness to be more disruptive.
No, Rice isn't going to win the Conference USA title this season, and
it's probably not even going to crack the three win mark. It'll be about
improving from wee to week and getting everything in place for the
Schedule: It's not like Rice needs more problems, but it has three,
three game road stretches that would test any team. The UCF, UTEP and
Tulsa tilt should especially try the team's toughness, but on the plus
side, the season ends with home games against East Carolina and SMU. The
non-conference schedule has a painful three game stretch of at UCLA,
Texas and at Florida State before going to Army for what has to be a
must-win. Even the home opener isn't really a true home game
playing in-town Houston.
Offensive Player: Senior RB Quinton Smith. The team's best running back
last season is a big play threat and will be the main man in the offense
until the passing game starts to click. He's deadly when he gets a
little room to run, so the idea will be to get the ball to him on the
move as much as possible.
Defensive Player: Senior S Chad Price. Part safety and part
linebacker, Price joins Andray Downs to give Rice one of Conference
USA's most experienced safety pairs. Price is great at getting into the
backfield and is a sure tackler, but he has to starting picking off
Key player
to a successful season: Sophomore QB Chase Clement. The new spread
offense won't work unless Clement is a steady decision maker and
improves his passing. He struggled as a freshman finishing with a passer
rating of 85.8 and only completed 43% of his throws. With the running
skills and the smarts to run the attack, he should turn out to be a
great fit ... eventually.
The season
will be a success if ... Rice comes up with three wins. It came close to beating UCF and UTEP
over the second half of last season and it beat Tulane, but it's going
to take big upsets to come close to winning more than a few games. It'll
be a shock if the Owls are favored in any game this year.
Key game:
Nov. 25 vs. SMU. The new coaching staff is going to need at least a
year to get everything in place and for the team to figure out what it's
doing. No one will say it's all about playing for the future, but the
season finale against SMU will be important to see where the team is at
and what needs working on for 2007.
2005 Fun

President Obama Visits The Middle East
Story By: Larry Stine
Originally Published on: 3/20/2013
President Barack Obama begins his Middle East trip with a stop in Israel Wednesday. He's expected to meet with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This visit comes as troubling reports surface about neighboring Syria. Ed Payne has the story.�� This visit is President Obama's first to the region since his inauguration in 2009. It comes at a critical time, as some U.S. lawmakers sa that Syria may have crossed a line.�"I have a high probability to believe that chemical weapons were used. We need that final verification. But given everything we know over the last year and a half, I, Mike Rogers, Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, would come to the conclusion that they are either positioned for use, and ready to do that, or in fact have been used." The Syrian government blamed rebels for a chemical attack that killed at least 25 people and woulded hundreds in Aleppo Tuesday.�But rebels blame the government. The Syrian crisis is an expected topic of coversation with Israeli, Palestinian, and Jordanian leaders ths week. The White House says it is carefully investigting the reports of chemical warfare. "The president was clear that if Assad and those under his command made the mistake of using chemical weapons or failed to meet their obligations to secure them then there will be consequences and they will be held accountable," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. President Obama meets with President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority on Thursday. On Friday he will meet with King Abdullah of Jordan. �

He is the best of quarterbacks, he is the worst of quarterbacks.
OK, I couldn't resist paraphrasing my man Charles Dickens. How else do you describe Jay Cutler's third NFL season?
One minute he's the best young franchise quarterback in the game. The next minute he's a turnover waiting to happen.
It's never as simple as some people suggest. It's not, as Cutler goes, so go the Broncos. But make no doubt, there's something to be said for that line of thought.
At the very least, we can say that Cutler impacts the outcome of Broncos games more than any other player on the field. To wit: Cutler in the Broncos' five victories has thrown 12 touchdown passes and three interceptions. In their four losses, he's thrown six touchdown passes and eight interceptions.
He's on pace to throw a franchise-record 32 touchdown passes. No Broncos quarterback, even John Elway, has thrown more than 27. But he's also on course to reach 20 interceptions. That has happened seven times in franchise history, five coming in the laughingstock days of the '60s.
The bottom line? No NFL player is under more pressure than Cutler. And with each season-ending injury that hits, that pressure increases. It will be interesting to see how the kid handles it with the NFL's version of the pennant stretch drawing nearer.

WBGO's Monifa Brown: "There's Something About Ella"
April 24, 2015. Posted by Monifa Brown.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive, Jazz Appreciation Month, Jazz Appreciation Month 2015, Monifa Brown
There's something about Ella. "I sing like I feel," she once confessed.
This candor and transparency are why Ella's voice transcends age and race, and has earned followers around the world.
It's close to twenty years since Ella left the physical realm, and nearly eighty since she first wowed audiences at the Apollo Theatre's famed 'Amateur Hour' as a teenager in Harlem.
She entered the contest as a dancer - luckily for us, at the last minute, she decided to sing instead. But her irrepressible sense of swing probably came in part from the fact that she knew how to dance.
Ella's voice embodies girlish charm and endearing wit. Her exuberance is contagious.
She was a tour-de-force on an up-tempo swinger, then could turn around and deliver a ballad with the same great sense of drive.
Few, for my money, can take a lyric, whether by Berlin, Porter, Arlen, or Rodgers and Hart, and make you hear it in a new light like Ella.
Even Ira Gershwin once declared, "I never knew how good our songs were until I heard Ella Fitzgerald sing them."
Ella had amazing chops. She could – and did - hang with the best of them: Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Flip Phillips, Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young.
She was also prolific – she recorded over 200 albums. From her early dates with Chick Webb to Jazz At The Philharmonic and her Pablo sessions with Joe Pass, she shows her ability to evolve as an artist, the true mark of a creative genius.
Pianist Jimmy Rowles, her accompanist and one of those who knew her best, spoke of her magical presence in this way.
"Music comes out of her," he said. "When she walks down the street, she leaves notes."
Her Grammy-winning album Mack The Knife is one of my favorites. It's a classic example of her onstage brilliance, charisma and ingenuity.
The album was recorded live in Berlin, with pianist Paul Smith, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Wilfred Middlebrooks and drummer Gus Johnson.
It showcases her technical proficiency, the agility of her instrument, and often-humorous approach to improvisations.
Her scatting on the title track, where she forgets the lyrics and doesn't miss a beat, are priceless.
As a kid in the 70s, I was star-struck when I first saw Ella in a Memorex commercial.
I used to borrow my dad's Memorex cassettes to record my favorite songs off the radio and create my own mix tapes.
In the commercial, Ella's voice shatters a crystal glass. I'd never seen that before. I thought she was some sort of super hero.
Rightfully dubbed "The First Lady of Song," Ella's ability to deliver a lyric without gimmicks, and with clarity and potency, is unrivaled.
Billy Strayhorn sums it up best. "Ella is the boss lady. That's all."

The Legacy Of The Jazz Organ In Philadelphia
April 22, 2015Add new comment | Filed under: A Blog Supreme, Jazz Night In America: The Radio Program
In mid-century Philadelphia, dozens of organists reshaped jazz into a popular, swinging, danceable contemporary music. Often in trios with drums and guitar or saxophone, these organ players made church instruments into portable orchestras — a tradition that continues to the present day in Philadelphia.
Jazz Night In America visits Philadelphia's World Café Live, where WXPN, WRTI and the Philadelphia Jazz Project organized a tribute to three native sons and daughters of the organ tradition: Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott and Charles Earland. Many top local performers help explain what made their city's jazz organ culture thrive.

26 year old woman | Goodyear, AZ, USA | Seeking men 26-38 within 5 miles
Looking for my best friend...
I'm a very relaxed down to earth girl looking for someone to potentially share my life adventures with. I have a pretty busy life with a 3 year old son and a 5 month old daughter so I definitely need someone who has plenty of patience and understanding. I was dealt some what a bad card being left with two kids but they are my blessings and I love being a mother. I'm here to meet someone I can connect to since I'm not really going out these days and to be honest I'm totally over the whole party and bar scene. I absolutely enjoy going to get a drink and dinner or just grab a couple of drinks but that's not something I do weekly and I wouldn't consider that partying. I love to have fun and laugh and I believe everything happens for a reason. Small other thing you might want to know, I'm not from the US. I moved here 10 years ago tho and I'm getting away with my English :) I came from Germany and still have most of my family there. I'm super honest, loyal and I'm definitely looking for a little romance and passion. I'm outspoken, outgoing and love to try new things. That being said, if you've read this far, I'd like you to know something else. I've been burned by someone I met on this site so I'm definitely going to want to get to know you a bit before we meet I.e. text/call. If you're interested drop me a line or a wink and I'd love to share some conversation with you. :) P.s. - I have no clue why this profile says within 5 miles of Goodyear, it's lying lol. I don't care how far as long as you're willing to work with it.

I've not looked on the 'bay for several years, but this thread made me curious. I believe I bought most of my Minolta manual focus (MD) lenses in 2006/2007; now in 2010 in the aftermath (we hope) of one of the worst recessions in history, prices are higher. Weird. A quick check of closed auctions showed that all the most sought-after lenses are now wildly expensive and the decent lenses are all higher in price than 3-4 years ago.
In my acquisition phase I often purchased more than one of a particular lens so I could keep the best of them. It may be time to off-load the spares. Hmm, then I'd have more money to buy other goodies . . .

Introducing Jewcer: Kickstarter for the Jewish Community (Sponsored)
What do the Women of the Wall, a Jewish rock album, and a web series about making aliyah have in common?
They all raised funds by creating a community around their ideas with the help of Jewcer, a Jewish crowdfunding platform.
Unlike Kickstarter or Indiegogo, Jewcer addresses specifically Jewish initiatives. The founders argue that if these campaigns succeed, then it can benefit and even enhance the Jewish world. But it's not just the focus on Jewish communal endeavors that makes this platform different.
Jewcer's all about mentorship. They help folks turn their ideas into realities by walking them through the fundraising process, from start to finish. So if you've got a new project, big or small, that you think can make a positive impact on the Jewish people or Israel — through arts, music, technology or lots of other forms — this is the platform for you. And given their track record (they've helped raise over a million dollars for Jewish projects), there's a very good chance you'll exceed your goals. Visit Jewcer to get a mentor, start your campaign and get your philanthropy on.
Learning for Edgar
It is a bittersweet week.
On Monday night we celebrated the creation of 70 Faces Media, the new organization bringing together JTA, MyJewishLearning and Kveller. Later this week marks the first yahrtzeit of one of our honorary founders, Edgar M. Brofman, of blessed memory, the legendary businessman and philanthropist who created MyJewishLearning in 2002 and gave his blessing to the merger before his death in December 2013.
Edgar was a prince of his people, whose contributions to 70 Faces Media and, for that matter, the entire Jewish world, cannot be measured or sufficiently acknowledged. As just one act of our deep appreciation, and out of love and respect for Edgar's passion for Jewish learning, we join The Samuel Bronfman Foundation in asking people to study and teach about Sh'mot, this week's Torah portion, in Edgar's memory.
In that spirit, let me share a few thoughts on this week's parsha that connect to Edgar, as well as to his legacy that we at 70 Faces Media are working to uphold.
Parshat Sh'mot starts with the enslavement of the Israelites, the birth of Moses and the story of how he ends up being raised as a prince of Egypt. As the Book of Exodus and the rest of the Torah unfolds, Moses will earn his reputation as the greatest of all the prophets, when as God's emissary he leads the Israelites out of bondage, delivers them the Torah and brings them to the edge of the Promised Land. But Moses' first step back into the Jewish fold — his killing of the Egyptian taskmaster — is sparked not by a divine directive, but an inner sense of justice and concern for his people. Only years later would Moses realize his religious destiny.
Edgar did not start out life as an Egyptian, he never killed anyone, and he was never a believer in the traditional sense. But, still, he walked a similar path: Born the heir to a beverage empire, Edgar was in many ways a prince who was cut off from the everyday experiences of his people. Yet, like the princely Moses, he found it in himself to speak up and to speak out on behalf of his fellow Jews.

Our 2014 Delicious High Holiday Gift Guide
The High Holidays—like many Jewish holidays—are a foodie's delight. Whether we're feasting on Rosh Hashanah or abstaining—and then feasting—on Yom Kippur, it's safe to say that many people's experience of the holiday season is replete with delicious nosh. And the foods are rich with symbolic meaning.
With the holidays approaching, you might be wondering what kinds of gifts are appropriate to give to family members, friends, and dinner hosts. Since everyone loves a gift they can eat, we've pulled together this gift-giving FAQ with help from our friends at Kosher Gift Box.
Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on September 24, Yom Kippur at sundown on October 3 and Sukkot on October 8. So nosh fast!
What are some basic gift items you recommend?
Since we're talking edible gifts here, we dig Kosher Gift Basket's Rosh Hashanah Traditions Basket and their Sweet New Year Basket. If you're looking for a gift appropriate for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, we recommend this delicious apple cake or traditional round challahs (perhaps paired with a delicious assortment of honey).
Is it appropriate to give a Rosh Hashanah gift to clients and customers?
Gift-giving is not a traditional part of the High Holidays as it is with Hanukkah, but we've never known of anyone to protest. And it can make good business sense. Some popular corporate choices are Shana Tova Wine Duo or Rosh Hashanah Elegance Basket.
What should I give my Jewish boss or coworker for Rosh Hashanah?
The best gifts for work-related recipients are probably non-personal items such as a gift basket that reflects Jewish tradition. Popular choices are our 5775 Breakfast Basket or a Honey Server and Dish Set with honey.
What do you recommend for a college student?
No better way to nudge college kids to mark the Jewish holidays than to lure them with delicious traditional foods. Our Rosh Hashanah Traditions Basket includes challah, babka, and rugelach—or you could send our holiday challah set. These gifts reflect holiday traditions and are great for sharing with roommates.

Pushing Jewish Day Schools to Be More Inclusive of Special Needs
The recent Kveller post by Benay Josselson on her son's positive and enriching experience at Rockland Jewish Academy made me hopeful about the prospect of a full, participatory Jewish day school education for special-needs children. Her tone, which greatly contrasted with her blog post from one year earlier when she assumed it would be tough to find a Jewish day school that would be able to work with her son who had been diagnosed with autism, reflects the steps the day school field has taken to make inclusion an educational priority. It also reflects more specifically the community that is being created at Rockland Jewish Academy under the leadership of Nellie Harris. (Full disclosure: Nellie is a Fellow in RAVSAK, the Jewish Community Day School Network's, inaugural Head of School Professional Educational Program, which mentors exceptional new heads in the first years of their headship).
We already know Jewish day schools play a crucial role in helping develop the next generation of Jewish leaders, but now we see schools of all sizes taking a closer look at their policies on special needs students. As an organization committed to advocating the myriad benefits of Jewish day schools, this is an issue I have seen start with rudimentary programs and expand into mission-driven work, with full support from leadership and the community, at a growing number of schools. Overall, this is a huge positive for families of all types.
In the past, day schools have struggled to meet the educational needs of students with a variety of learning disabilities and other social, emotional, behavioral or health challenges. Today, great strides have been made, and more and more schools are working on identifying opportunities to increase access and developing an inclusive process for teaching students with far-ranging capabilities.
The ultimate goal is for children to become integrated into and embraced by the Jewish community, regardless of need. That's what parents want, what the kids want, what everyone wants — to be full members of the community. Truly, a day school community can only call itself that when it reflects the make-up of the entire community from which it sources its members.

NEW ORLEANS - FEBRUARY 09: New Orleans Saints Garrett Hartley #5, Stanley Arnoux #57 and Thomas Morstead #6 celebrate during the New Orleans Saints Super Bowl XLIV Victory Parade on February 9, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Skip Bolen/Getty Images)
(Eds: Updates. With AP Photos.) Saints punter and kickoff specialist Thomas Morstead prepared for the 2012 season as if it would be his audition for a new contract. When he unexpectedly received a lucrative extension as training camp began, the pressure was off in some respects. That, however, didn't change Morstead's approach, and he now finds himself poised to set NFL records. ''You're geared up for that last (contract) year and I got my deal early,'' Morstead said this week of the six-year extension worth $21.9 million he signed in late July. ''In some ways the pressure's on because now they're paying you what they think is your value, so you better perform at that level or you'll lose your job soon enough,'' Morstead added. He won't have to worry about losing his job anytime soon. If anything, he might have an extra game to play in Hawaii. With fan voting now closed for the Pro Bowl, Morstead leads all NFC punters with 104,563 votes, making him a front-runner to get the nod...

Letter: Do you think Port St. Lucie police would give rest of us courtesy rides?
LouAnn Scram, Fort Pierce
Letter: Do you think Port St. Lucie police would give rest of us courtesy rides?
I usually leave the writing of letters to the editor to my husband, but this time a topic has arrived that I feel needs attention.
I was just wondering: If any of us law-abiding citizens got stopped by the police, would we would get a courtesy ride home? Or would go directly to jail?
It has been reported that not once but twice recently a city official has been stopped for drinking and driving and did not get a ticket but instead got a courtesy ride home.
No DUI was issued. The suspect didn't have to take the sobriety tests the rest of us would have to, or get fined for refusing to.
This just does not seem fair at all. I guess because I am not a police officer or any other city official, I have to follow the rules or get fined or a trip to jail.
Please tell me where it says in the law that officials get treated differently than you and me when it pertains to the law. Personally this would not affect me, as I don't drink. Nevertheless, this situation really bothers me.
The next time someone is stopped for drinking and driving, can that person ask for a courtesy ride home? I think not, as he or she will be getting a ticket and fines and a night in jail.
Please help me understand this issue, as I do not. I hope this letter raises issues with other people, also, as it got me to thinking.

Milk was a bad choice"... I hoping trying online dating again isn't a bad choice :)
I am a hard-working, goal oriented, ambitious lady looking for someone to spend my free time with. Ideally I'd like to start casually, but I'm not opposed to a long-term relationship, but would like it to happen as naturally as it possibly can. I can be very goofy, out-going and full of energy. But at times I do enjoy reflective, quiet stimulating conversation and relaxing. I'm looking for someone similar who can appreciate both situations. Besides for being extremely passionate about my career, I also had the opportunity to play professional basketball overseas for three seasons. That being said, basketball is a large part of my life. I love talking and watching all sports, and hope that continues to be apart of my life. I love silly movies and TV shows. My favourite actors include Will Ferrell and Steve Carell. Their movies and TV shows make me smile, and I would like someone who can share the same sense of humour. Annnnnd I'm pretty sure I can quote 99.9% of any of their quotes. ;) I am extremely grateful for all my life experiences, good and bad. I believe they have made me the person I am today. I love meeting new people, even if we turn out to be friends. I am very social and value my friends highly.

A New Anti-Semitic, Anti-Gitmo Myth is Born
A former Gitmo detainee tells Al Jazeera that the Jews use witchcraft at Gitmo.
5:40 PM, Dec 20, 2010 • By THOMAS JOSCELYN
According to one memo prepared by U.S. officials, Hajj was identified as a "special friend to a known Taliban leader" who was in charge of Arab fighters on the front lines near Konduz and Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. This same Taliban commander "reported directly to an al Qaeda commander." And the al Qaeda commander, in turn, was also an instructor at the infamous al Farouq training camp. Hajj did not deny his relationship with the Taliban commander during his ARB hearing, but questioned whether it was enough to keep him in custody and said he was unaware of any ties between the commander and al Qaeda.
A memo produced at Guantanamo contains this allegation: "The detainee said that if he were in a combat situation, he would attack Americans to defend his country and/or family and he would fight again for the sake of his religion or his family." Hajj would later deny this, saying that he just wanted to return to his family in Sudan.
Hajj also said he would not speak ill of his American captors. During one ARB hearing, Hajj explained:
Hajj obviously changed his mind. Someone needed to tell the world about the Jews' witchcraft at Gitmo. And Al Jazeera was glad to broadcast it.

Judge Shamsie seeks to lower property taxes
$1.1 million more from construction this year is reason
County Judge Terry Shamsie estimates Nueces County will take in $1.1 million more than last year from new construction and wants to set a property tax rate lower than the effective tax rate.
The effective tax rate, which county officials will calculate by Aug. 4, is the rate that would produce last year's revenue from this year's appraisal of properties that existed last year. Shamsie's budget plan calls for a tax rate lower than the effective rate, which would be a tax decrease.
The Nueces County Appraisal District certified property appraisals Tuesday with an 11 percent increase in property values from last year's. Taxable property value in the county exceeded $15 billion, compared with last year's $13.7 billion.
County commissioners plan to consider the budget in August. The county's fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
The proposed 2006-07 budget is similar to last year's budget but includes raises of $1,000 to $2,000 for most employees, $5,700 raises for judges, $1,000 increases in commissioners' travel budgets and $500 increases in other elected officials' travel budgets.
Last year's county budget was $225.3 million.
The county's current tax rate is about 39.9 cents per $100 of valuation. The owner of a $100,000 home would pay $398.93 in county property taxes, assuming no exemptions.
